A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Qin Shen took the lyrics and music. He wanted to refuse, but after glancing at the lyrics and music of "Home in Northeast China", he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

He stared at the paper for a long time before looking up, his voice a little strained: "Brother Fan, you...you're really too kind."

Su Fan waved his hand without replying, then turned to Boss Liu and said, "Boss Liu, could you please take Brother Shen in to test the sound first?"

Once inside the recording studio, Qin Shen began to audition.

He can read music, but this was his first time recording a song, and he didn't know where to put his hands when he entered the studio.

Su Fan simply went in to demonstrate for him, explaining each sentence one by one.

Xu Xin, who was standing in front of the mixing console outside, was listening with headphones on when he realized something was wrong.

He originally thought that Su Fan was going to record that song about shamans today.

But what's playing in my headphones right now is clearly a song with a distinctly Northeastern flavor.

Xu Xin listened to the song more and more and felt that it was even more "Northeastern" than "Northeastern Folk Song".

That warmth, that lively atmosphere of the Songhua River, it's all in the tune.

At this moment, Xu Xin could no longer sit still. He took out his phone and dialed Zhou Haiyang's number.

"You mean, Su Fan wrote a song for Qin Shen, and it's a song about Northeast China?"

Xu Xin said, "Yes."

"Why?" Zhou Haiyang asked.

Faced with Zhou Haiyang's question, Xu Xin also wanted to ask why.

This unique song was thus sent out.

Before Xu Xin could say anything, Zhou Haiyang said, "Send me the address, I'll be right there."

At this time, in the recording studio, Qin Shen, under Su Fan's guidance, was able to sing the entire song on his own.

So Su Fan left and went into another recording studio next door.

He also wants to record his own song, "Mountain Guest (Horse Climbing)".

When Zhou Haiyang arrived, Su Fan was recording in the studio.

Xu Xin stood outside, his expression complex.

Zhou Haiyang hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Is it finished recording?"

Xu Xin countered, "Which one are you asking about?"

Zhou Haiyang was taken aback: "What, there's more than one?"

"Two songs, one by Qin Shen and one by Su Fan himself."

Zhou Haiyang grew impatient: "Then explain yourself clearly, what's the situation now?"

Xu Xin asked, "Which one are you asking about?"

"What about Qin Shen's poem?"

Recording in progress.

"What about Su Fan's song?"

"It's being recorded now."

Zhou Haiyang was too lazy to argue with him, so he grabbed the monitoring headphones and listened to the audio himself.

He listened to Qin Shen first.

Through my headphones came Qin Shen's strained singing: "My home is in Northeast China, on the Songhua River, where soybeans and sorghum cover the mountains and fields..."

After listening, Zhou Haiyang took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and picked up another pair of headphones.

I started listening to Su Fan's song.

Su Fan's voice came through the earpiece: "What I worship are the foxes, weasels, white foxes, willows, and ashes; what I sever is the falsehood between the realms of Yin and Yang; I borrow a fleshly body to traverse the waters of Changbai Mountain; I will sit before you in the hall, regardless of who you are..."

If "Home in Northeast China" is still within Zhou Haiyang's acceptable range...

Then this song, "The Mountain Guest (Going to the Temple)," was completely beyond his comprehension.

It's not that I don't understand, it's that I understand too well.

It is precisely because I understand that I am surprised.

It's like driving every day without a care in the world, but suddenly your car turns into Optimus Prime. Wouldn't you be surprised?

Zhou Haiyang is currently in a state of surprise.

He never dreamed that there would be a song that could express the spirit of Northeast China's martial arts tradition.

"This...this...this..."

Zhou Haiyang opened his mouth and uttered "this" several times, but couldn't come up with a complete sentence.

At this moment, Su Fan finished recording and came out of the recording studio, only to see three people staring at him.

Su Fan asked, "What's wrong? Have you been possessed?"

Zhou Haiyang composed himself, his voice still trembling: "Did you write this song?"

Su Fan asked, "Which song are you asking about?"

Zhou Haiyang said, "The song you just sang."

"be mine."

Zhou Haiyang then asked, "What about the song Qin Shen sang?"

"It's mine too."

Zhou Haiyang's face darkened. Ignoring this nonsense, he said, "Do you know how powerful this song is?"

Su Fan said, "I didn't know before, but I know now."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously.

Su Fan continued, "Judging from your state, it's like you're possessed by a shaman. How could I not know?"

The three of them were speechless, their faces darkening.

Just then, Qin Shen came out of the recording studio and, seeing the scene, was a little confused: "Oh, everyone's here? What's going on? Why do you look like my cousin is in charge?"

Everyone was speechless, except for Su Fan, who was trying not to laugh.

Qin Shen sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Fan, how was my take just now? Did it pass?"

Su Fan listened to the recording once and nodded, saying, "Not bad, that's good."

Zhou Haiyang composed himself and said, "Let's not rush to release this song, 'My Home is in the Northeast,' let's handle the rest."

Su Fan said, "I have no objection, it just depends on what Brother Shen thinks."

Qin Shen replied without hesitation, "What ideas could I possibly have? The song is all yours, Brother Fan, you can do whatever you want with it."

Su Fan said, "Brother Shen, let's make this clear first. You're the one who first sang this song, but I own the copyright. I've licensed it to Director Zhou and the others for free. As per industry practice, I'll take 70% of the copyright revenue after the song is released, and you'll take 30%."

Qin Shen immediately became anxious upon hearing this: "That won't do. You've already given me a huge advantage by letting me sing this song. If this song were released elsewhere, there would be plenty of people willing to pay to sing it. How can I take a share of the profits? I can't take a single penny of this money."

Before Su Fan could say anything more, Qin Shen cut him off: "Brother Fan, you're asking someone like me to sing this song, which means you consider me a brother. If you bring up money again, then you don't consider me a brother anymore. If you insist on giving me the money, then I won't sing this song."

Seeing his insistence, Su Fan relented: "Alright then, you can sing this song however you want from now on, let's not talk about money."

Su Fan knew that the revenue from songs wasn't limited to copyrights.

After the song became popular, Qin Shen would naturally have opportunities for commercial performances, which would also be a way for him to make money.

That's why Su Fan said those last words, which was also a way of giving Qin Shen a way out.

However, Qin Shen didn't think that much about it. Little did he know that this would be a song that could change his destiny.

At this point, Zhou Haiyang said, "Then I'll go back and prepare the release copy and distribution channels."

He walked to the door, then turned back and instructed, "By the way, don't release that song 'Mountain Guest (Going to the Underworld)' yet. I'm afraid that song is too powerful and will overshadow the effect of my song 'Home in the Northeast'. Wait until I get it going before releasing it."

Su Fan said, "Then Director Zhou, you'd better hurry up, I'm leaving soon, and I need to release this song before I go."

Zhou Haiyang thought for a moment: "My Home in Northeast China will be released by tomorrow at the latest, and your song will be released three days later, is that okay?"

Su Fan nodded: "Okay."
