The longed-for village system

Chapter 193 The Grand Chorus

"Yes! His talent gives people a feeling of unfathomable depth. His songs have been praised twice in videos, and he can also write poetry. However, he is an orphan. His parents passed away when he was young, and he grew up eating food from the villagers."

Listening to the introductions from the younger generation behind them, the two became even more curious about Chen Qing. They had thought that Chen Qing was a child who grew up in a military compound! It was possible for such a child to write a patriotic song. They never expected that he was an ordinary person and an orphan.

Most importantly, he is a talented composer who can create music in any style. Just look at all the songs he writes; those of us who have sung songs our whole lives know all too well how difficult that is.

"Great, great! New talents emerge in every generation. It's a blessing for the music scene to have such a promising new generation. Maybe we can return to the vibrant and diverse music scene of the 90s," Teacher Li exclaimed with a broad smile.

"Yes! What a fortunate thing! It's great to inject a clear spring into this stagnant music scene and cleanse it up." Cai Guoqing also sighed with a happy expression.

At their age and in their position, they have already enjoyed all the good things. What they hope to see now is the rise of the younger generation, and even their surpassing of the older generation.

But the changes in the music industry over the years have left them shaking their heads. What kind of messy songs are the hit ones? "Learn to Meow"? Or they're just cobbled-together songs with a few words changed and then labeled as original. They really think everyone's stupid.

Chen Qing was unaware of what was happening backstage. At this moment, he was still on stage, directing the crowd in the audience to sing together. This was already the fourth time, and judging from their tireless appearance, they wanted to sing it a fifth and sixth time.

Chen Qing gave Dong Qing a look, signaling her to stop singing now, as continuing would affect the people behind her.

Dong Qing hadn't expected everyone to be so excited. Not content with singing it once, they started singing it a second and third time on their own initiative. If she hadn't spoken up to stop them, she didn't know how long it would have gone on. At this moment, Director Chen's instructions came through the microphone, so Dong Qing nodded to Chen Qing.

"Thank you, thank you everyone, please have a seat." Dong Qing spoke up to control the flow of the event, and only continued after everyone's emotions had calmed down. "The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are the origin and development land of our Chinese nation. Today, countless Chinese people from home and abroad have gathered here for no other reason than that we all have the blood of the Chinese nation flowing in our veins and the soul of the Chinese nation imprinted on our souls. Next, please enjoy the dance performance 'Loving Nation'."

The stage went dark, and Chen Qing followed Dong Qing and quickly left the stage. They then went directly to Zhao Xiaogu's location from the side, where there was still a seat reserved for him to watch.

Although Chen Qing left the stage, the online buzz didn't stop there. Computer experts had already cut out clips of Chen Qing's performance and uploaded them to various platforms, making the online attention and comments even more intense.

"I just want to ask, who else? Brother Chen is amazing, the atmosphere was electric."

"This is the hottest patriotic song of the year, bar none. It's so damn exciting! Look at everyone at the scene, they're all out of control."

"I'm so uncultured, all I can do is yell 'Holy crap!' Is this an Army Day gala or our Little Chen's solo concert?! This massive sing-along is something else!"

"The most amazing chorus in history! These are all outstanding people from all walks of life! In the end, they were all conquered by Brother Chen."

"There's no limit to how awesome we can get. Our Brother Chen either doesn't sing at all, or when he does, he ignites the entire venue. He's definitely the coolest guy tonight." "Does Brother Chen mind having another wife? No, a mistress or a secret lover is fine too. My parents have already agreed."

"You upstairs are dreaming! Don't you know your own worth? Trying to steal Little Bone Goddess's man? Little Bone Goddess, I'm willing to be your slave and take care of Little Chen."

A trend of becoming a mistress or having an affair started circulating online, with countless beautiful young women even posting photos hoping Chen Qing would choose them. Fortunately, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu didn't see them, otherwise Zhao Xiaogu would definitely have cursed these glamorous women for daring to covet her husband.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaogu and Chen Qing were watching a performance. Zhao Xiaogu applauded her husband's wonderful performance. If it weren't for the people around them and the inappropriate setting, she would have kissed him long ago.

How can there be such a handsome man in this world? And how can there be such a discerning woman? She chose him after just one glance in the crowd.

While watching the wonderful performance on stage with the man, she chatted with her girlfriends in the group chat, accepting their envy with a touch of pride.

The party lasted until 11 p.m. After taking a group photo with all the performers on stage, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu prepared to leave, but they were stopped as soon as they stepped out of the dressing room.

"Hello, Teacher Li and Teacher Cai, I'm Zhao Xiaogu, and I'm your fan." Zhao Xiaogu immediately bowed and greeted the two people blocking her way.

"Hello, teachers." Chen Qing naturally recognized the two teachers and waited for them to speak after greeting them.

He wasn't blind; it was definitely not a coincidence that the two senior artists came to him immediately after finishing their performances. He just didn't know what the two senior artists wanted with him.

“New talents emerge in every generation. We came here to see you, and you are indeed extraordinary! Your original song ‘Heart of China’ was very good tonight. We didn’t expect that there would be a musician among the younger generation who could write such a song. Not bad, very good!” Teacher Li nodded and smiled with satisfaction on his face.

"Teacher Li is right. We older generation were worried that the music scene was declining, but now that we see a group of young people like you rising up, we are relieved. Keep up the good work, the future of the music scene depends on you young people." Cai Guoqing also nodded to Chen Qing with a smile to show his approval.

Chen Qing was surprised that the two seniors would say such things to him. Of course, he had to reply politely, "Don't worry, teachers! There are still many talented artists in the music industry, and I believe things will only get better in the future."

That's right, things will definitely get better and better. However, Chen Qing can't guarantee whether he'll be among these people. His main task right now is to stay in Manyuan Village and develop his skills in a lowly way. Even if the system doesn't restrict him from going out, he probably won't be in the music industry. Compared to that, he still prefers a leisurely and carefree life.

The group eventually exchanged phone numbers, and Zhao Xiaogu also got the two teachers' private numbers, which made her very happy. You know, these two teachers have a very high status in the music industry. This is what connections are all about!

"Should we go straight back? Or grab some late-night snacks outside before heading back?" Chen Qing asked Zhao Xiaogu, who looked excited, as they walked out of the venue.
