Join an association and you can create a hot search

Lying on the bed, Nan Ye enjoyed the sense of belonging his new home brought.

This villa wasn't big, in fact, it could be said to be quite small.

The first floor had a children's room, a guest bedroom, a bathroom, a connected living room and dining room, plus a kitchen.

The second floor had a master bedroom with a bathroom, a study, a sitting room, plus a balcony.

Downstairs, there was also a small garden of about 20 square meters, where he could grow flowers, raise fish, and practice martial arts.

Compared to other people's villas, it truly wasn't very large.

But for one person to live in, it was more than enough.

The housing prices in Yan City weren't very expensive, but buying it outright still cost him over four million yuan.

But it was worth it!

With a house, he finally had roots.

Looking at everything before him, Nan Ye felt like he was dreaming; it felt very unreal.

The life he dreamed of in his previous life was being realized here, one by one.

"Ding ding!"

Just as Nan Ye was lost in thought, someone sent him a WeChat message.

Picking it up, he saw it was Professor Wang.

"Nan Ye, congratulations, your song has been designated by the Chinese Opera Association as one of the promotional tracks.

Knowing you don't sell the copyright to your songs, the Association plans to pay three million yuan for the performance rights. Is that acceptable?"

This price was even higher than what Situ Yanran offered; Nan Ye had no reason to refuse.

"Of course!"

Professor Wang Heng quickly sent another string of messages: "Right, do you have any foundation in Chinese opera? If we asked you to perform on stage as well, do you think you could handle it?"

Because Nan Ye's popularity remained high recently, Chairman President Jiang had the idea of having Nan Ye participate in this performance as well.

With Nan Ye's ability, singing was absolutely no problem. The problematic part lay in the opera vocal section.

Without professional training, it was very difficult to master.

However, considering that Nan Ye wrote the song, logically, he should have some foundation, which is why Professor Wang Heng came to ask.

After careful consideration, Nan Ye first asked, "Will this performance only be showcased in the theater at that time?"

If it was only displayed in a theater, then spending 100 million emotion points to exchange for Opera Mastery would seem very unworthy.

"No, because this time is for promoting and popularizing Chinese opera, we plan to live stream it across the entire network, and later edit it into a video to upload everywhere online.

Since it's promotion, everyone must know!"

Seeing this, Nan Ye had already made up his mind: "To be honest, Lao Wang, I have a certain degree of confidence in the opera vocals.

Talk is cheap; how about I go to the recording studio first and record a section for you to listen to?

That way, you can make a decision, right?"

Professor Wang Heng nodded repeatedly at his phone screen, the smile on his face impossible to contain.

He liked this young man more and more; he was sensible, thoughtful, and never spoke nonsense.

"That's great, of course! Thank you for the trouble!"

"No trouble at all!"

...

Half a day later, Nan Ye sent the finished recording of the song.

Professor Wang Heng looked puzzled. That fast?

This is opera vocals; are you that confident?

You don't need to auto-tune it?

After clicking to play, Professor Wang Heng realized that this guy wasn't called a 'walking CD' for nothing.

There were no flaws to be found in the preceding sections.

Next, he listened to the opera vocal part.

"Those below the stage pass by~ the old colors are unseen~"

"Those on the stage sing~ the heartbroken farewell song~"

When he heard these two lines, Professor Wang Heng got goosebumps all over.

This...

Th-th-th-this...

Such standard opera vocals actually came from such a young person.

Professor Wang Heng had some understanding of this song; it was Kunqu opera + Peking Opera singing style.

Originally, he thought Nan Ye only had a superficial understanding.

But he found out he was greatly mistaken.

Nan Ye's attainment in Peking Opera was much higher than imagined.

That's right, with Nan Ye's master-level singing ability, mastering this opera vocal section wasn't a huge problem, but it wasn't perfect.

So Nan Ye directly exchanged for Opera Mastery.

With this buff, Nan Ye's understanding of opera vocals went up another level.

If the original performance was 80 points, now it was definitely 99 points.

Unconsciously, Professor Wang Heng actually plucked off a few strands of his beard.

But before he could feel the pain, he directly forwarded the song to the Chinese Opera Association's group chat.

[Wow, Professor Wang, who sang this? It's sung extremely well!]

[This level is outstanding, it's at the level of a garden master!]

[This voice, how come I've never heard it before? Which master is it?]

[I've practiced for 20 years, and I feel like I can't compare to him!]

[...]

Professor Wang Heng watched the continuous messages in the group chat, smiling slyly.

Isn't it better to share joy than to enjoy it alone!

Mhm, let you all get excited for a bit first.

@-ing me is useless, I just won't say.

That way you'll get even more excited later, right!

President Jiang also couldn't help but ask, "Lao Wang, where did you find this treasure? It couldn't really be Nan Ye, could it?"

But then he thought about it and felt something was wrong. How could Nan Ye have this kind of ability?

This is at least national team level!

Professor Wang Heng saw that the boss had stepped forward, so it seemed he couldn't keep it a secret anymore.

He slowly typed a string of words: "Nan Ye finished recording it in half a day, he should... not have had time to auto-tune!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves!

Everyone in the group chat was instantly stunned by Professor Wang Heng's words.

Finished in half a day?

Without any auto-tuning?

This...

That's too outrageous!

Nan Ye is only 24 years old at most!

[Awesome, I feel ashamed of myself! I've never heard of this person before. Who is his teacher? Does anyone know?]

[Lao Wang, this Nan Ye is even better than your apprentice, Leap!]

[Hahahahaha, the joke about Lao Wang's apprentice has been overused!

But honestly, for Nan Ye to be so young and possess such talent is truly a stroke of luck for the Chinese opera world!]

[That's right, from this section, you can hear Nan Ye's foundation and strength. Among the younger generation, perhaps only Xie Zhili can compare with him to some extent!]

[Chairman, how about we just let Nan Ye join the Association!]

[This is a good suggestion. With this strength, he's more than qualified!]

[...]

With Professor Wang Heng's matchmaking, Nan Ye became a member of the Great Xia Opera Association.

It was also the second national association he joined.

The Calligraphy and Painting Association was still hesitant at the time, but after learning that Nan Ye had already joined two associations, they also started to take action.

They were afraid that if they waited any longer, Nan Ye would feel even less sense of belonging towards the Calligraphy and Painting Association.

Weibo Hot Search Second:

#Nan Ye Joins Chinese Opera Association and Calligraphy and Painting Association on the Same Day#

No one expected that Nan Ye would quietly create another hot search.

Joining two major associations at once dropped the jaws of many Netizens.

[Xiao Ge is truly silent when he doesn't make a move, but when he does, he's astonishing!]

[The Chinese Opera and Calligraphy and Painting Associations are not easy to join. Without solid strength, you can't get in at all.]

[I understand the Calligraphy and Painting Association, but what's the deal with the Chinese Opera Association?]

[I want to know too...]

Many Netizens rushed to the official Weibo of the Chinese Opera Association to leave comments and ask for clarification.

The official account took this opportunity to release a notice!
