Chapter 12

For a moment, everyone's mood became somewhat low.

"Why are you all so unhappy? The competition hasn't even started yet. I have some good news to share with you all," Tang Feng said with a smile, seeing everyone's low spirits.

In fact, after he heard the news, he had already made up his mind. The classics from another world in his mind, if even a small part were to be revealed, would be enough to make his friends' dreams come true. For him, it was just a matter of a simple effort, but for them, it could change the course of their lives.

"Hehe, Fengzi is right. Even if we don't make it to the top three, we've still achieved half of our dream. The final will be broadcast live on TV! Fengzi, what good news do you have to share?" Chu Ge said, pretending to be happy.

"Two of my songs have been noticed by the editors at Reku. Once the copyright certification is approved, I'll be signing a contract with them! What do you think? Is that good news?" Tang Feng said with a smile.

"Reku? Their standards are quite high. They liked your songs? Are you serious?" Chen Shao, the artsy youth, looked at Tang Feng with disbelief.

"Aren't you doing live streaming shows? How did you get involved with Reku?" Chen Jun also looked at Tang Feng with surprise and doubt.

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Tang Feng's abilities, but Reku's threshold was always quite high, especially when the content editors approached someone. This was rare, especially for newcomers. Unless the songs were truly good, Reku generally wouldn't sign them.

As for Tang Feng's singing level, to be honest, it was pretty good for an amateur, but compared to professional singers, there was still a gap.

Otherwise, Tang Feng wouldn't have had such a low number of followers during his live streams.

"Whatever, if you don't believe me, fine. I was thinking of investing in your TV shows and movies once I become famous and make money. Since you don't believe me, forget it! Consider I never said anything," Tang Feng glanced at the Chen brothers with a pout.

"Hey, Young Master Tang, Brother Tang, we were wrong. We'll drink a penalty cup. If you become successful, please don't forget about us two. We're counting on you!" Chen Shao and Chen Jun exchanged glances and then said in a fawning manner.

"Hey, Li Fang, you two change your faces too quickly. You believe him just because he says so?" Li Fang said with disdain.

"Hey, Li Fang, I thought your script was good and planned to invest in it once I made money. I didn't expect you to not believe me. Oh..."

"Bro..." A long, coquettish voice came from the tomboy Li Fang, making everyone at the table shiver.

"I've always known, Bro, that you will achieve great things. I'm counting on you, Bro..."

"Hey, you three, stop showing off. You're giving me goosebumps. Can't you just talk normally?" Chu Ge couldn't help but say, looking at the three of them clowning around.

"So, Fengzi, are you serious?" Chu Ge turned to Tang Feng and asked after speaking.

"Of course, I'm serious. Didn't you all say you would support me during my live streams? It turns out you were just talking," Tang Feng said, pretending to be angry.

"Hehe, well, aren't we preparing for the Rock Night competition? But, well, does your signing with Reku have anything to do with your live streaming?" Chu Ge said, a bit embarrassed.

"Sort of. I sang two songs during my live stream, and the effect was good. The editors at Reku saw it and approached me, wanting to sign me!" Tang Feng said casually.

"Wow, I've known you for so long and never realized you could write songs and compose music. And to be noticed by Reku's editors, Fengzi, you're on your way to success!" Chen Shao said in a tone that didn't match his artistic appearance.

"Hey, Fengzi, can you really write songs and compose music? How about performing a piece right here for us to appreciate?" Chu Ge said.

"Sure, Xu Ming, guitar!" Tang Feng beckoned to the guitarist Xu Ming.

Tang Feng took the guitar, cleared his throat, and tuned it.

Everyone at the table held their breath and watched Tang Feng.

"Miss Dong, you've never forgotten your smile, even if you and I both yearn for aging."

"Miss Dong, you look beautiful even when your lips turn downward..."

"Miss Dong, I'm also a complex creature, saying it in passing, but repeating it in my heart." The melody was simple yet serene, as if he wasn't singing but slowly narrating a story.

Chu Ge's smile quickly faded, and he was immersed in Tang Feng's singing. He understood music, and although Tang Feng's singing wasn't outstanding, the flaws in his technique were completely overshadowed by the song's atmosphere.

"Miss Dong, the night at Gulou passes quickly..."

"So, those things might not be true. Miss Dong, you're not just a girl without a story. Falling in love with a wild horse, but my home has no prairie, which makes me feel desperate... Miss Dong..."

By this point, Chu Ge was completely convinced. This was definitely a good song, no wonder the editors at Reku approached him.

Tang Feng soon finished the first verse. When he started the second, many people in the restaurant couldn't help but quiet down, listening intently to his singing.

Tang Feng himself was also immersed in the song's atmosphere. The melody was simple, but the atmosphere drew people in without them realizing it.

Finally, Tang Feng finished the last line. The singing stopped, and he looked up, only to be startled. Everyone at the table was staring at him.

"Cough, cough! What's going on? Why are you all looking at me?" Tang Feng broke the silence with a cough.

"Clap, clap, clap!" Suddenly, applause broke out around them.

"Brother, what's the name of this song?" A middle-aged man from the next table asked Tang Feng.

"Miss Dong!" Tang Feng said.

"Great! It's a new song, right?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Yes, it's a new song, but it will be released on Reku soon. I hope you'll support it!" Tang Feng said with a smile.

"Definitely, I'll buy it once it's released! It really touched my heart!" The middle-aged man raised his glass to Tang Feng.

"Nice, brother, this song is really good. I think it will become a hit!" Another person said.

Tang Feng responded to everyone, but he was also a bit surprised by their reactions. Although "Miss Dong" was a classic in that world, when it first came out, the response was average. It only became popular after someone else covered it.

What Tang Feng didn't know was that in this world, there were very few songs with a style like "Miss Dong," or perhaps none at all.

The song's unique lyrics and structure were the main reasons it became a hit in that world.
