A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

A large number of netizens began flocking to Harbin.

Not only tourists from other places, but also local residents from Northeast China came to join in the fun.

After all, the temptation of "free fish" is too great.

Zhou Haiyang was completely stunned when he learned of the number of applicants.

It's not that I'm scared, it's that I didn't expect there to be so many.

He worked through the night to arrange manpower, contact catering companies, coordinate venues, and allocate supplies, managing to set up hundreds of large pots next to the Ice and Snow World and prepare an unprecedented all-fish feast.

Although the fish were free, Harbin's cultural and tourism sector has won big this time.

When tourists come, they want to eat, stay, play, and buy local specialties, which drives consumption far exceeding the cost of the fish.

More importantly, this move has greatly boosted the reputation of Harbin's cultural and tourism industry.

Honest, generous, and a man of his word...

It became a frequently used phrase in netizens' comments.

Cultural and tourism bureaus in other provinces are envious, but they can't learn from it.

With the whole fish banquet in high demand, Zhou Haiyang sought out Su Fan again.

"Xiao Fan, there's a music festival at the Ice and Snow World the day after tomorrow. Go on stage and sing a song."

"Director Zhou, you just finished your free fish feast, and the buzz hasn't died down yet. Are you already planning something new?"

Zhou Haiyang said with a smile, "Absolutely. We must keep it burning while it's still hot, one fire after another, and not let it cool down."

Su Fan gave a thumbs up: "I admire a leader as dedicated as you. Okay, what song do you want to sing?"

Zhou Haiyang thought for a moment and tentatively said, "If you can sing 'My Home is in Northeast China,' the effect will definitely be good. You gave this song to Qin Xiaozi to sing, and you haven't sung it yourself yet. If you sing it, it will be like a new song."

Su Fan raised an eyebrow and deliberately dragged out his words: "Director Zhou, you said it yourself. I originally had another new song. Since you've chosen that one, then sing that one."

Upon hearing the words "new song," Zhou Haiyang's eyes widened, and he grabbed Su Fan's arm: "What new song? You have a new song? Sing it! You have to sing it! Forget about 'Home in Northeast China,' sing the new song!"

"Alright, alright, stop shaking it. It's a new song, it's a new song."

……

Zhou Haiyang returned to the bureau and had someone post a message on the official WeChat account of Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau.

"On the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Fan will be performing at the Ice and Snow World Music Festival! Several other surprise guests will also be joining the performance! Tickets are now on sale on Dianping, so act fast!"

The official Weibo account did not mention what song Su Fan would sing, so everyone speculated about which song Su Fan would sing.

"I feel like Su Fan will sing 'My Home is in Northeast China.' He hasn't sung this song before, so if he does, it'll be like a brand new song!"

"It has to be 'Northeast Folk Song,' this song is amazing!"

"Could it be a snow and ice theme? I can't wait!"

"Tickets already snapped up! I'm definitely going to Harbin for Su Fan's new song!"

……

The cultural and tourism departments of Jilin and Liaoning provinces were also quite excited when they saw this news.

The leaders of the two provinces were initially envious of the sensation caused by Harbin's all-fish banquet.

But now, they feel their own moment of fame is about to arrive.

Based on past experience, as long as Su Fan sings a song related to Northeast China, it often makes the entire Northeast region popular, not just Harbin.

They had already tasted success with "Northeast Folk Songs" and "Home in Northeast China".

Although Su Fan was singing in Harbin this time, Jilin and Liaoning provinces had already begun preparations.

They began to organize winter tourism routes, launch special offers for ice and snow activities, and contact travel agencies to increase promotional efforts.

They naturally assumed that Su Fan's songs must be related to Northeast China, and that they could make a fortune by riding this wave of popularity.

On the day of the music festival, the Ice and Snow World was packed with people.

The ice sculptures are crystal clear under the lights, and red, green and blue beams of light intertwine in the night sky, making the entire park look like a fairy tale world.

The stage was set in the center of the ice sculpture group, with a huge ice wall as the backdrop, reflecting colorful lights.

Several celebrities came; they were all invited by Zhou Haiyang to warm up the atmosphere.

Qin Shen was also there, and he sang "My Home is in the Northeast." Many people from the Northeast in the audience sang along, creating a lively atmosphere.

As luck would have it, Wang Feng was also invited.

When he heard that Su Fan was also going to sing, he instinctively frowned.

He silently thought to himself, "Things shouldn't happen more than three times. They can't possibly outdo me again this time, can they? Besides, I came prepared this time."

Wang Feng's new song takes a different approach, incorporating elements of traditional Chinese opera.

He felt confident this time.

Not only is he confident in his own song, but he also believes that Su Fan is at most singing an old song, how can it compare to his new song?

Wang Feng comforted himself for a while before he regained his confidence.

When it was Wang Feng's turn to go on stage, he was somewhat displeased.

Because the spot for the grand finale was reserved for Su Fan.

He felt that his new song was the one worthy of being the grand finale.

Before going on stage, he thought to himself, "We'll see. We'll soon find out who's better!"

Wang Feng's new song is a hard rock track that incorporates Peking Opera singing techniques.

He learned this on purpose.

He originally disliked traditional opera, but saw that Su Fan's "Dingjun Mountain" became a hit.

He knew that the market reaction was there, and he couldn't help but follow the trend.

He spent over a month practicing several sections of Peking Opera recitative and then forced them into his own song.

After the song was finished, the applause from the audience was indeed enthusiastic.

The song is good, the arrangement is solid, and the opera singing part is also quite decent.

Netizens also bought into it.

"Wang Feng's song is pretty good; the combination of Peking Opera singing and rock is quite natural!"

"But it feels like it's missing something of Su Fan's style, yet it's still pretty good!"

"Compared to Su Fan's 'Dingjun Mountain,' it's still a bit lacking!"

"Don't always compare him to Su Fan; Wang Feng's song is already quite impressive on its own!"

……

Hearing the applause from the audience, Wang Feng felt somewhat relieved.

Although some people compare him to Su Fan, at least there isn't a one-sided outcry against him.

When it was Su Fan's turn to go on stage, the entire audience fell silent, and everyone unconsciously held their breath.

Some people genuinely like Su Fan and don't want to be disturbed.

Some people wanted to see if Su Fan's singing could outshine everyone else.

Zhou Haiyang stood next to the mixing console, arms crossed, a hopeful smile on his lips.

This was something he arranged deliberately; so far, only he knows what Su Fan can sing.

Wang Feng stood in the shadows backstage, not leaving. He wanted to see Su Fan defeated by him with his own eyes.

Su Fan stood on the stage, and the music started.

The crisp, slightly chilly piano notes flowed slowly.

Like snowflakes falling silently over this northern city.

Wang Feng stood in the shadows, his fingers unconsciously clenching.

As the melody began, none of the audience recognized the song for a moment.

Soon, some people realized that this was probably a new song.

This music festival was also broadcast live, and the cultural and tourism departments of Jilin and Liaoning provinces couldn't help but rub their hands together in anticipation.

They knew they were about to witness a miracle.

Witness the miracle of Su Fan's new song bringing them traffic.
