A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

After spending two days in Longhu Mountain, Su Fan set off for Sichuan Province.

The opening date of Fancheng Bar was set for the second day of the second lunar month, the day the dragon raises its head.

Once the date was announced, Fang Cheng's phone kept ringing.

People in the industry came knocking on my door one after another, all saying the same thing: they wanted to show their support and get some exposure.

Fang Cheng knew in his heart that these people were just trying to ride the wave of popularity.

He smiled wryly and said, "In the past, I couldn't even get one of these people to come to me, but now they're offering themselves up."

Unable to make up his mind, Fang Cheng went to discuss it with Su Fan.

After listening to Fang Cheng's words, Su Fan said, "Guests are guests, so treat them as you would like to be."

"But some people want to get some exposure on stage."

Su Fan chuckled: "Then let them show off. Why not take advantage of this free publicity?"

The equation makes sense at first glance.

He knew these people were all there for Su Fan, not for Fang Cheng, and certainly not for the bar that hadn't even opened yet.

Celebrities from all walks of life wanted to come to Sichuan Province to attend the opening ceremony of Fancheng Bar, and the leadership of Sichuan Province attached great importance to it.

Qi Tongwei, who is in charge of culture and tourism, was especially excited and kept rubbing his hands together.

Qi Tongwei went directly to Su Fan.

"A lot of artists are coming this time. Would you like to sing a duet with them?"

Qi Tongwei's tone was both tentative and expectant.

Su Fan asked, "A duet? Old songs or new songs?"

Qi Tongwei's eyes lit up when he heard this.

He originally just wanted Su Fan to sing one of his old songs, and for all the artists to join in and make it lively.

But Su Fan's words seem to suggest that there might be new songs coming out.

Qi Tongwei quickly replied, "If there's a new song, of course a new song would be best."

Su Fan knew exactly what Qi Tongwei was up to, and said with a smile, "Director Qi, wouldn't you call this going along with it?"

You're calling me a monkey?

"I wouldn't dare. I just feel that everyone has a different style and a different voice. If we put them together to sing a song, it's easy for it to sound awkward and out of place."

Qi Tongwei quickly said, "What kind of music do you want? Folk or rock? I'll find some people for you, I guarantee I can get you the right ones."

A song suddenly popped into Su Fan's head, and he felt that it was quite suitable.

So Su Fan said, "No need for that. It's not good to leave anyone out. We're not worried about scarcity but about inequality. Let's share the spoils equally. Give me the list of people who want to come later, and have them come to rehearse tomorrow. Those who aren't coming tomorrow don't need to come. There are only two days left before graduation, and time waits for no one."

Qi Tongwei immediately agreed, patting his chest and saying, "Don't worry, I'll get the people in place for you this afternoon. If they don't have time to come, I'll just refuse them, and let them blame me if they want."

"Director Qi, are you about to do something that will offend people?"

Qi Tongwei snorted: "So what if they've offended me? I'm giving them a chance, don't push your luck."

Su Fan gave a thumbs up: "Director Qi is awesome!"

……

Next, Qi Tongwei went to find more people, while Su Fan went to prepare the songs.

He composed two songs this time.

A song I'm going to sing myself.

A song is prepared for the chorus.

Once the lyrics and music were finished and the copyright was registered, Qi Tongwei called.

"Everyone's here, when are we going to rehearse?"

Su Fan was taken aback: "Director Qi, you're really fast! Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow?"

"They couldn't wait any longer, so they all came early."

"Alright, let them come to the bar then."

Those celebrities who had booked appointments to come to the bar originally just wanted to ride the wave of popularity and get acquainted with Su Fan.

They didn't dare to ask for anything more than a song.

When Qi Tongwei told them that Su Fan had written a new song and wanted everyone to sing it together, they all immediately canceled their schedules and rushed over without saying a word.

They didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.

It's worth noting that Su Fan is currently enjoying immense popularity.

He's been making quite a stir lately in Sichuan, Jiangxi, and the three northeastern provinces.

As long as this hype continues, everything Su Fan does will be under scrutiny.

No one wants to miss such an opportunity.

The group arrived at Fancheng Bar one after another.

Su Fan stood on the stage, facing more than a dozen unfamiliar faces.

He skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"Everyone here is a leader in the industry, so I won't say anything more. This song doesn't need to be too deliberate; just be yourself."

After saying that, Su Fan sent the lyrics and music to everyone.

"It's just a group of people who've been drinking, holding their glasses, toasting life, and when they sing, they act like they've drunk half a jin of baijiu, standing there swaying and saying whatever comes to mind."

Everyone looked down at the lyrics and music, and were stunned.

Before they came, they considered various styles.

Folk, rock, pop, some even speculated it might be a rap song.

No one expected that Su Fan would present such a work.

The song Su Fan took out was "The Drunkard's Toasting Wine".

This song, "On Earth," is a choral work with lyrics and music by Jin Chengzhi and performed by the Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Singers.

The entire piece uses a series of 41 parallel sentences containing the character "敬" (respect/respect) to express philosophical reflections on topics such as friendship, impermanence, and life.

The lyrics elevate personal emotions to a cosmic perspective.

This song has no verses or choruses, no one is the lead singer and no one is the chorus; everyone is the lead singer and everyone is the harmony singer.

Su Fan brought out this song because it is easy for listeners to resonate with it.

In addition, this song incorporates choral art, with human voices merging into the same frequency, eliminating individual differences and reflecting the collective emotional expression.

Su Fan looked at the confused faces on everyone's faces and smiled: "Just think of it as a bunch of us drinking too much and talking nonsense with our arms around each other at the table."

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Su, how did you come up with this song?"

Su Fan casually replied, "You'll know when you've had enough."

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, trying to decipher the meaning behind Su Fan's words.

Some people even really wanted to try it after drinking too much.

At this moment, Su Fan said, "Alright, everyone, let's familiarize ourselves with each other first, and then we'll go through it once in a bit."

Everyone present was a professional.

By studying the sheet music, finding the correct pitch, and dividing the parts, he quickly memorized the lyrics and melody.

In less than half an hour, everyone looked up one after another, indicating that they were ready.

After one take, Su Fan said, "Okay, that's good, let's leave it at that."

Everyone stood there, stunned, looking at each other.

For a moment, I didn't know if Su Fan was serious or joking.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Professor Su, is that all?"

"It's over!" Su Fan said matter-of-factly.

Someone else tentatively suggested, "Isn't this too hasty? How about we do it a few more times to get a feel for it?"

Su Fan smiled and waved his hand: "Everyone here is a professional. I just listened to it once, and it's pretty good. The feel is right. I'll pass it after a little more practice."

After Su Fan finished speaking, he got up to leave.

But none of them seemed inclined to leave.

At this point, someone suggested, "Let's do it again. My pronunciation of the last 'ah' was still a bit off."

Several people nearby nodded in agreement.

Su Fan stood by the stage, watching these people who usually wield great influence in the industry now acting as seriously as students. He couldn't help but sigh, "Alright, do as you please. It'll be seven o'clock at the latest. We'll go eat hot pot later."
