The longed-for village system

Chapter 363: Castle in the Sky
After asking a few more questions, Dong Qing paused the questioning when half the time had passed, and asked Chen Qing, "Xiao Chen, you're a musician, you must have been deeply moved by this disaster relief effort! Have you written any songs about it?"

The fans once again gave Dong Qing a thumbs up for her question. As expected of a CCTV host, she knows what they're thinking. The song "Dawn" just now was so satisfying! Now they can listen to a new song.

"Sister Dong Qing, I already sang one song during my live stream, so you don't need to now!"

He still has disaster relief songs, but singing them like this isn't sustainable! If he continues to support them, those people will start asking him to sing new songs every day, so it's better to refuse.

“That was just now! With your creative ability, Xiao Chen, it’s impossible that you could only write one new song. Don’t hide it. Young people, especially talented young people, should be more high-profile. You were too low-key before, and I believe everyone wants to hear you sing new songs again.”

Dong Qing knew that Chen Qing wouldn't reveal his true colors unless she pushed him a little; they had already figured out his personality.

We don't know how many skills he hasn't revealed yet, and he won't tell us if you ask. As for the skills he has revealed, he always describes them as just average. It's only when we reach a high level of difficulty that everyone realizes just how high his so-called average standard really is.

Just like his previous medical skills, he started with only bone setting and acupuncture, but later he suddenly became incredibly skilled. He could easily solve all kinds of terminal illnesses, such as cancer and Alzheimer's. You'll never know how amazing he is unless you push him.

"Xiao Chen, look at the comments in the live stream. They're all the voices of the people. Aren't you going to grant their wishes?"

Looking at the screen of Dong Qing's phone, Chen Qing sighed helplessly, "Alright! But this time I won't sing. I'll play a piece of instrumental music for you!"

"Sure, I've heard your instrumental pieces like 'Young Child' and 'Kiss the Rain' before, they're really beautiful. I never expected to have the chance to hear them live today, it's wonderful! Do you need us to prepare any instruments for you?"

Dong Qing was surprised that Chen Qing could play instrumental music. She was even more curious about what instrument Chen Qing would use this time, since this younger brother seemed to know many instruments, including some ethnic minority instruments.

"No need, I can go to the back and get it."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the recording studio at the back. Everyone's eyes followed him. Soon, Chen Qing returned with a bamboo stick. Everyone recognized the instrument in his hand as a flute at first glance.

"Brother Chen, are you going to play the flute this time? What piece?" Zhao Xiaogu asked Chen Qing as he returned.

"Yes! This time I'll play it on the flute, and the piece is called 'Castle in the Sky'."

"Castle in the Sky" is a theme song from a Japanese anime film. It was originally played on the piano, but it was later adapted into many different versions and played on different instruments. The most popular versions are the piano version, the flute version, the ocarina version, and the chanting version. The chanting version is the most melancholic.

It can be said that the chanted version is always about sorrow or disaster, and this instrumental piece is very moving. Performing it at this time is also in line with their requirements.

They just want to cry, so I'll grant their wish.

Sure enough, as soon as the music started, a sense of sorrow rose in everyone's hearts. Although there were no lyrics, everyone felt a deep sadness, and the eyes of those who were sentimental and moved welled up with tears again. Dong Qing's eyes also reddened, and she couldn't help but recall various scenes from her past hosting experiences. Although China has developed peacefully and stably in recent years, natural disasters still occur from time to time, and each disaster is accompanied by the loss of countless lives and property.

Of course, while reminiscing, she couldn't help but admire Chen Qing's talent once again. He really left no way for other musicians to survive! One person had directly blocked the path for all musicians. No wonder the people of the Beijing Musicians Association wanted to invite him to join.

At this moment, inside the Beijing Musicians Association, a group of people who had received the news were also watching the live broadcast. As they listened to Chen Qing's performance, they fell into a silent silence. They remained immersed in the music until Chen Qing finished playing, and it took them a while to come back to their senses.

"A genius, truly a genius! I never expected someone so young to create such high-quality pieces one after another."

"Yes! That's remarkable! What's even more incredible is that this little guy seems to be proficient in quite a few musical instruments: piano, ocarina, flute, and guzheng. I'm really curious which teacher taught him; he's a master!"

"The younger generation is truly remarkable. Such a young talent should be invited to join our Musicians Association; it would be a waste to leave him in the entertainment industry."

Several people nodded in agreement. What kind of place is the entertainment industry? Young people like this should join their association and shine in music, instead of singing love songs.

"Gentlemen, we need to consider this matter carefully. Have you forgotten that we sent him an invitation last time but he didn't reply? So even if we invite him again this time, the result will probably be similar. This kid's thoughts are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

Only after hearing the elder's words did everyone remember this matter. They were surprised that a singer in the entertainment industry would not come for the evaluation when he had such an opportunity. Now it seems that his mentality and ideas are incomparable to theirs.

Reputation, status, position, and money are all things that people pursue, but these things seem to have no influence on him at all. Even though he has such extraordinary medical skills, he still stays in the village, and it seems impossible for them to invite Chen Qing to come and evaluate him.

"President Li, I personally suggest that there's no need for such a young man to be evaluated here as before. Haven't we already witnessed his abilities firsthand?"

"Hmm? Chairman Lin, what do you mean?"

“That’s right, we can just pass directly. With his influence and the strength he has shown, I believe that no one will say anything even if we pass directly. Even the World Musicians Association will not say that there is a problem with our assessment.”

The crowd discussed Chairman Lin's suggestion at length, and it took a while for them to calm down. Although they felt that the suggestion was somewhat unusual, they thought it wouldn't hurt to make an exception once. Even if the people from the World Musicians Association found out, they couldn't say anything.

Chairman Li naturally heard the discussion and decided, "Let's do it this way! We'll send him a confirmation letter later, and then publish it on the website after he confirms."

Having learned their lesson from the last time Chen Qing read their message and they didn't respond, this time they were smarter and waited for Chen Qing's reply before speaking, lest Chen Qing's side not cooperate and they be slapped in the face again.

Meanwhile, in Hengdian, the women who were filming there took a break and, upon hearing the surrounding staff's discussions, immediately opened their phones and entered the live stream to watch Chen Qing's interview. Looking at the eloquent Chen Qing, the women's eyes were filled with deep admiration.
