Entertainment: Starting with a Song of Rice Fragrance

At the beginning of the month, the task of selecting songs was assigned from above.

Let everyone in the department brainstorm and think carefully about what kind of theme song would be best for this promotional video for the city's 120th anniversary, which cost the city 20 million to produce.

This is a promotional video that city leaders have high expectations for. It features many big-name celebrities and a professional film crew who filmed the entire city.

The aim is to promote the great achievements of Shuncheng over the past 120 years, while also attracting outstanding talents from other cities and prefectures.

This promotional video has been circulated many times within various departments of the city, and everyone has high expectations for it.

However, opinions differed on the choice of the theme song for the promotional video.

Leaders all have their favorite songs, and they may occasionally have the same ones, but when they put them together for discussion, they can never make a decision.

Some people suggested rewriting a completely new promotional song specifically for it, but that idea was rejected.

It's said to be a brand new song with little popularity, so it doesn't create a strong sense of immersion for listeners.

So the matter was suppressed, and the entire publicity department took it very seriously, thinking every day about which song would be more suitable.

Cheng Hua was also told by his superiors that if someone recommended a song that would be adopted, regardless of whether he was promoted or not, he would definitely get an "excellent" rating in his year-end performance review.

"Seriously, I've listened to so many songs, but none of them are as perfect as this one!"

Chenghua looked at the song in his hand as if he had found a treasure, his eyes wide open!

This song not only has a beautiful melody, but also a pleasant tune.

Moreover, the lyrics have depth, power, and breadth!

Especially its popularity!

My goodness! In just 4 days, it has already been downloaded more than 17 times!

To be honest, it provides a strong sense of immersion.

Which other song can evoke such a strong sense of immersion?

"No, I have to report this to my supervisor right away; I can't let anyone else get there first!"

He knew that this song was so popular recently, and that other colleagues in the publicity department would definitely hear it. What if they also had the same idea? Wouldn't his credit be stolen?

So he didn't even bother to eat, leaving the lunchbox lid open and the food cold, and he grabbed his phone and headed straight for the boss's office!

"Knock knock knock".

Cheng Hua took two deep breaths, knocked on the leader's door, and glanced down at his phone.

"It's all up to you now!"

"Please come in!"

A middle-aged man's voice, seemingly still chewing something, came from inside the door.

Cheng Hua gently pushed open the door and, sure enough, saw his direct superior, Section Chief Qu, eating heartily from an old aluminum lunchbox.

"Oh, it's Xiaohua. What's up? Wait a minute, I'll be done eating soon..."

Section Chief Qu, with his thick hair, bushy eyebrows, and big eyes, greeted him kindly and quickened his pace again.

"No rush, haha, Section Chief Qu, I'm here to report on the theme song for the promotional video... Why don't you eat first, and I'll come back later?"

"No, no, I've already finished eating. Please wait a moment while I rinse my mouth."

Section Chief Qu kindly invited Chenghua to sit down, then took his cup and walked to the sink in the inner bathroom.

The sound of brushing teeth came from inside. Chenghua, bored, opened his phone and saw his goddess's WeChat Moments again.

"Damn it, in just this short time, over twenty people have already liked her post... She has so much competition!"

Chenghua's goddess is a staff member in the Education Bureau. She only started working last year, but her family background is indeed very good.

Her parents were both high-ranking officials, and she herself was beautiful, with a lovely voice and excellent work ability. As a result, many young men flocked around her, trying to win her favor.

Cheng Hua himself is only 1.73 meters tall and not handsome. His only strength is his good work ability, which is highly appreciated by Section Chief Qu.

"Maybe if I could become a deputy section chief, she would look at me differently!"

With his heart filled with the word "dry," Xiao Cheng clenched his fist, placing all his hopes on the song in his hand.

In his view, this song is no longer just a simple song.

Rather, it is a ladder to progress.

Soon after, the slightly melancholic guitar music of "Chengdu" slowly filled the office.

Section Chief Qu raised an eyebrow, but said nothing and continued to listen attentively.

Then, as the intro ended, Zheng Ning's clear and gentle voice slowly came through the phone's speaker.

"What made me cry"

Not just last night's wine,

What I'm so reluctant to leave is...

More than just your gentleness…

The singing was neither intense nor noisy.

Like a quietly flowing stream that doesn't compete for attention, it flows endlessly into the hearts of listeners.

At first, Section Chief Qu stared wide-eyed at the lyrics, afraid of missing something that might affect his judgment.

But after a short while, he let out a long sigh, slowly closed his eyes, and unconsciously put on an enjoyable smile, as if he had been immersed in the atmosphere of "Chengdu" that was cool yet warm.

A few minutes later, the song finished playing.

But the smile on Section Chief Qu's lips remained unchanged as he closed his eyes, savoring the lingering charm of the song.

"very good!"

He slammed his hand on the table with a "bang," turned around, and looked at Cheng Hua with great admiration.

"Xiao Cheng, this song is great! It perfectly matches the atmosphere of our Shuncheng and the overall feel of our promotional video!"

"Look, in that rainy little town, I've never forgotten you, Chengdu, the only thing I can't take away is you..." This song truly resonates in the hearts of us Shuncheng people!

He returned the phone to Xiao Cheng, then took out his own phone, opened Feixing Music website, found "Chengdu," and clicked to download and purchase it without saying a word.

"You are very hardworking and organized at work, which I have noticed. You are indeed a very good young man."

Section Chief Qu stood up, walked around to the table, and patted Cheng Hua on the shoulder, which made the latter feel flattered.

"Regarding the task assigned by the higher-ups, I noticed that no one else seemed as dedicated as you. I'll submit the song you recommended to the higher-ups as soon as possible; I reckon they'll all like it. By the way, what's the singer's name?"

"Oh, his name is Zheng Ning, and he's also from Shuncheng. Speaking of which, he has a very peculiar experience..."

Xiao Cheng was well-prepared for the leader's question and told the leader the information he had just found on his phone.

"Oh? He only discovered he had a heavenly voice at 23? Heh, that's certainly a legendary story. And..."

Section Chief Qu chuckled.

"I knew it! The person who wrote this song must have a special feeling for our Shuncheng. I didn't expect they were actually a local..."

Section Chief Qu seemed a little thirsty. He picked up his cup and took a small sip, unable to hide the satisfaction on his face.

"The song has been delivered to you. You can continue with your work now; I'll go back to work."

Xiao Cheng, being very perceptive, got up to say goodbye. The other party didn't try to stop him, but instead picked up his phone again and started playing "Chengdu" after he closed the door.
