Chapter 69, New Song Released, Zhang Xian Gains New Skill

After Zhang Xian and the others left.

The assistant approached Kong Sanmin: "Director Kong, Teacher Xu is asking when the contract will be finalized?"

"Okay, I'll give him a call!"

The "Teacher Xu" mentioned by the assistant is the famous musician Xu Bin. Kong Sanmin had previously commissioned him to write the theme song, but Xu Bin delivered the song too late and the quality was not good. That's why Kong Sanmin started casting a wide net to find songs.

Since he couldn't find a suitable song before, he thought of using Xu Bin's song "Year After Year," but now the situation has changed.

"Old Xu, I'm busy."

After his assistant left, Kong Sanmin called Xu Bin: "The song you wrote is good, but it doesn't quite match the style of my drama. You know, I tend to overthink things."

Kong Sanmin subtly conveyed his meaning that he did not want to use Xu Bin's song.

Having spent half his life in the entertainment industry, Xu Bin naturally understood, and without saying anything, he exchanged a few polite words and ended the call.

But Xu Bin was a little resentful, thinking that he would wait until "Golden Years" aired to see which song replaced his.

Two days later.

"There's a Regret Called Us" has been released.

This was Tao Linlin's first task after joining the company, so she put a lot of effort into promotion and publicity.

Topics like #DecentSequel# and #ChuYourongBreakupTwoParts# have repeatedly trended on Weibo.

At this time, the popularity of "Decent" was still there, and Chu Yourong's popularity was soaring. Coupled with a series of marketing and promotion, "There is a Regret Called Us" rushed to the top of the new song chart within two hours of its release, and its momentum continued to be very strong.

"Although it's not as good as 'Decent,' it's still a very nice song!"

"I can tell from his voice, Nairong was badly hurt. Ugh, that scumbag!"

"Since the breakup, Nairong has started to go for a melancholic look!"

"I can't bear to part with you, but I can't get married. Could Nairong have become someone else's mistress?"

"The lyrics and music are both by [Sixth Sense], the same author as 'Decent'. Who is this genius?!"

"The song 'Decent' was a huge hit! I didn't have high hopes for the new song, but it turned out to be surprisingly good!"

The first batch of netizens who listened to the song gave their reviews. Although most people felt that the song was not as good as "Decent", the overall evaluation was acceptable, and it was a work above the passing grade.

The song quality is quite good, and coupled with Chu Yourong's popularity and Tao Linlin's effective marketing, all aspects of the song's performance have skyrocketed since its release...

Zhang Xian didn't pay much attention to the release of "There's a Regret Called Us"; he was fishing by the river at the moment.

I haven't gone to deliver fish for two days, and all the young women and wives are waiting for it. One of the older sisters who added me on WeChat even sent me a message asking why I haven't gone these past two days.

So, Zhang Xian decided to catch more fish today to warm the hearts of the older sisters and younger sisters-in-law.

About 10 meters away from Zhang Xian's fishing spot, an old man was also fishing. Judging from his brown skin, he was a seasoned angler.

With his skin color, even an average angler would lower their float by half to pay homage when they see him.

Originally, he and Zhang Xian were fishing separately and not interfering with each other, but after a while, the veteran angler couldn't sit still anymore.

He didn't catch a single fish, while Zhang Xian on the other side was catching fish one after another, and the fish he caught were all quite big, the largest of which probably weighed seven or eight pounds.

He temporarily put away his fishing rod and walked straight towards Zhang Xian.

"Young man, you're incredibly lucky!"

"I see you've caught more than a dozen fish in just a short while."

Zhang Xian caught another fish, and while he was changing the bait, the veteran angler spoke up.

"Sir, you're mistaken. One or two might be luck, but how can so many be considered luck?"

Zhang Xian replied smugly, "I'm a master angler, and you say I rely on luck to catch fish? That's an insult to my skill level!"

"So you know some tricks?" The veteran fisherman's eyes lit up, his sparkling gaze filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"Every profession has its own intricacies, and fishing is no exception."

As he spoke, Zhang Xian cast his line again. Once the float stood upright on the surface of the river, he continued, "Grandpa, do you believe I'll catch a fish in less than two minutes?"

"Two minutes?"

The angler glanced at his watch and started counting down with the ticking of the second hand. Just 1 minute and 05 seconds later, the float on the river was pulled into the water.

Judging from the way the float sinks and the speed at which it sinks, this must be a big fish, and the fish must have taken the bait very deep, making it difficult for it to get off.

Seeing this, the fisherman, who had been silently counting down in his mind, was stunned. Although he had seen Zhang Xian catch fish one after another, it was difficult for a fisherman to judge when the fish would bite.

Zhang Xian, however, was very certain that it would be within two minutes, and more importantly, it seems that he was right.

Just as the angler was in shock, Zhang Xian had already started playing the fish. The two were locked in a stalemate for three or four minutes before Zhang Xian finally used a landing net to scoop the fish up.

This is a wild silver carp, weighing about 15 or 16 jin (7.5-7.5 catties), the biggest fish Zhang Xian caught today.

Zhang Xianmei happily put the fish into the fish box, then looked at the fisherman next to him: "If this fish weren't so big, it would definitely be on the shore within two minutes."

The fisherman, his skin tanned a deep brown, was completely convinced: "Young man, I want to learn how to fish!"

Zhang Xian smiled and shook his head: "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to teach you, but I can only pass on this skill to my son."

"This is not to be shared with outsiders!"

"Uh……"

The fisherman was speechless for a moment: "This isn't some skill that can support a family or make you rich, is it really necessary to be like this?"

"Sir, you're mistaken about that."

Zhang Xian immediately retorted: "Who said fishing can't make a living and get rich? Haven't you seen how many fishing streamers there are online? There are several with millions or even tens of millions of fans, and their income is not low."

"I'm not short of money, otherwise I would have started live streaming!"

Zhang Xian then added one last sentence with a smug look on his face.

"Then let's make a deal."

"You teach me how to fish, I'll teach you acupuncture."

An angler eager to learn fishing techniques has come up with a new solution.

Acupuncture?

Why would I learn this stuff?!

Zhang Xian shook his head: "Besides, who knows how good you are? Don't screw me over again!"

"I'd scam you?"

The fisherman scoffed, "Do you know how many people want to become my apprentice every day?"

Zhang Xian shrugged nonchalantly: "Even if ten thousand people wanted to become your apprentice, what would it have to do with me?"

Ding!
Checked in successfully!

Reward: 2 R-coins!

Random reward: One skill blind box.

Just as Zhang Xian was talking to the fisherman, a system notification suddenly sounded.

Zhang Xian was so excited he almost jumped up.

Zhang Xian immediately gave feedback.

Upon seeing the description of the "Mysterious Needle," Zhang Xian was immediately excited. Did this mean that Zhang Zhaodi could be saved?
