Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 96: Earth Cultural Promotion Ambassador

"Can't I just make videos?" Lin Meimei asked.

"That's true, but in the future, everyone will have a smartphone and be able to make videos. How will your videos stand out among so many others?" Yang Ning asked.

"Huh?" Yuan Xi blinked, realizing that it was indeed a problem.

"What should I do then?" Yuan Xi asked. "I don't know how."

"That's why you have me!" Even though he had control over Deep Blue videos and could promote anyone's videos, even if Yuan Xi didn't know anything, he could still make her popular.

But promoting someone without any talent would only invite annoyance.

Fortunately, Yuan Xi had talent in many areas. She excelled in literature, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In terms of martial arts, she was a Qi Refining Fifth Layer cultivator, possessing great strength.

Even in terms of appearance, she was at the level of a Celestial Immortal.

In short, she had all the elements to become popular.

"Let's start with music!" Yang Ning said. "Music is an art form that transcends boundaries, races, and even species. It allows for emotional communication between living beings. If everyone has your songs on their phones and your voice echoes throughout the land, how can you not gain fame?"

"Music, sounds good!" Yuan Xi blinked. She understood music, after all, she played the qin!

But does music have such great power?

But since it was Brother Ning's idea, she would follow it. He wouldn't harm her!

"What songs can you sing? Let me hear one!" Yang Ning said.

"Okay!" Yuan Xi nodded. Without clearing her throat, she began to sing, "The cicadas cry sadly, as the evening falls upon the long pavilion, the sudden rain ceases."

It was a song called "Rain and Bell" by Yang Ning, which was not well-known because he had changed some of the references to the Yue Kingdom, making it difficult for foreigners to understand.

But as a loyal fan, how could Yuan Xi not have heard it?

Three minutes later, the song ended.

Yuan Xi's face was not red, she wasn't out of breath, but her eyes were filled with anticipation. "How was it?"

"This melody?" Yang Ning asked.

"I wrote it myself!" Yuan Xi felt a bit uneasy. "I don't know if it's good enough."

"It's more than good, it's amazing!" Yang Ning praised. "I was thinking of writing a song for you, but I didn't expect you to be so talented in songwriting. You have the potential to become a diva!"

That's right, cultivating also requires talent and understanding. It's much harder than writing songs!

The true meaning of Martial Dao cannot be understood without talent!

Yuan Xi's talent in cultivation was so high, so her songwriting skills naturally wouldn't be lacking.

What's even more rare is that she was able to perfectly combine the melancholy and sadness of the lyrics with the tune of "Rain and Bell." This not only meant that she understood the lyrics, but also that her composition skills were truly exceptional!

Although she composed ancient music instead of popular songs, if she understood the music theory of popular songs, it would be even easier for her to compose!

"As long as you're satisfied!" She was afraid that Yang Ning would say she had ruined the lyrics.

"Well, I think your voice is clear and full of emotions. It's a bit of a waste to sing this kind of sad song. You should sing inspirational songs!" Yang Ning said.

"What are inspirational songs?" Yuan Xi asked.

"They are music works that inspire and motivate people to pursue their goals and dreams," Yang Ning explained. "They usually have dynamic melodies, cheerful rhythms, and uplifting lyrics, inspiring listeners' enthusiasm and fighting spirit, helping them to achieve success and happiness."

Yuan Xi blinked, not understanding.

After all, music hasn't developed to that stage yet, at least not in Extreme Eternal.

"In that case, let me sing an inspirational song for you to experience!" Yang Ning cleared his throat and took out a drum from his storage bag.

Yuan Xi found a place to sit down, supporting her chin with both hands, eagerly looking at Yang Ning. Then she heard Yang Ning open his throat and sing loudly:

"Proud, facing the waves!"

"Passionate, like the red sunlight!"

"Daring as iron!"

"Bones as strong as steel!"

After a long time, Yang Ning stopped. "How does it feel?"

"Um..." Yuan Xi organized her thoughts and pointed with two fingers. "This kind of song, is it not very suitable for me?"

After all, it sounded like a man singing. Would it be inappropriate for a girl to strain her voice like that?

"I'm just demonstrating this type of song to you. This style is called an inspirational song, but of course there are also songs suitable for girls to sing!" Yang Ning explained.

"How about you write a few songs for me first?" Yuan Xi stared with her big round eyes. "If I become familiar with them, maybe I'll be able to write my own."

"Sure!" Yang Ning took out pen and paper from his bag and started writing on the drumhead.

Yuan Xi quickly leaned in and saw the title of the song: "Starry Sea."

"I want to become a star. What is a star?"

"It's the sun!"

"Then why not call it 'Eternal Sun'?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Because a star is just a star, there's nothing different about it compared to other celestial bodies!" Yang Ning said.

"Ah?" Yuan Xi was stunned. "Are you saying the sun is also a star?"

"Yes!" Yang Ning nodded. "But it's a star that is far away from us, so it appears as just a dot. The sun is closer to us, so it appears bigger!"

He had actually done research and confirmed that the sun is indeed a star, not some god's eye or anything. He even calculated its diameter, weight, and the third cosmic velocity.

"Oh!" Yuan Xi nodded, as if she had learned something new.

But she didn't delve deeper into it. She felt that the Ning gege (older brother Ning) who was writing was more worth paying attention to than whether the sun was a star or not.

Apart from the concept of a star, the lyrics of the song "Starry Sea" were easy to understand. It was just translated from Chinese to Extreme Eternal language. Yang Ning finished it in less than ten minutes and handed it to Yuan Xi.

"These lyrics are all in plain language," Yuan Xi frowned. "They're not at the same level as your previous songwriting skills."

"Our songs are for the general public, so the more straightforward and simple, the better," Yang Ning explained. "Otherwise, people won't understand and won't be able to like you."

"That makes sense!" Yuan Xi nodded.

"Let me demonstrate it for you!" Yang Ning said and sang it himself.

Yuan Xi was a quick learner in her cultivation, and her memory was good. After listening once, she knew how to sing it. Surprisingly, she sang it flawlessly on her first try!

Yang Ning made a slight correction to the pitch, and the song was considered complete.

Then, he started writing another one.

There were plenty of domestic love songs, but not many inspirational songs, and even fewer well-known ones. If we narrowed it down to female singers, Zhang Shaohan might have taken up half of the market.

Yang Ning wrote down "Wild Child," "Walking in the Rain," "Hello Tomorrow," "Invisible Wings," "Chapter," "Youth," and then thought for a while. It seemed like there weren't any particularly well-known ones?

But there were quite a few well-known inspirational songs next door.

Yang Ning also wrote down "Blue Bird," "Cruel Angel's Thesis," "Red Lotus Flower," "Aliez," "Miracle Reappearance," "Butter Fly," and "I Once Wanted to End It All."

The saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. When in a village, represent the village; when in a town, represent the town; when in a province, represent the province; when in a country, represent the country.

Yang Ning had now gone beyond Earth, so naturally, he had become the representative of Earth. All the songs on Earth could be considered songs from his hometown and could be used.

He had become a cultural ambassador for Earth. It was decided!

"These are all for now!" Yang Ning put down his pen. "A total of fourteen songs. We'll release ten of them together on an album. You can choose seven from here, and you can write the remaining three. How about that?"

"Then will you still help me write songs in the future?" Yuan Xi looked at Yang Ning eagerly.

"Writing songs is quite expensive, you know!" Yang Ning rubbed his wrist with a dignified expression. "And your songwriting skills are not worse than mine, right?"

"How much money do you want?" Yuan Xi quickly said, "I'll give it to you!"

Seeing the girl being so serious, Yang Ning quickly waved his hand. "Hey hey hey, I was just joking. We're lovers now, and in the future, we'll be husband and wife. What's the point of dividing things between us? If you want songs, how can I not give them to you? These two albums are enough for a year's release."

"Mhmm!" Yuan Xi nodded heavily. She wasn't trying to make money, she just wanted something that would connect her and Yang Ning.

Singing the songs he wrote would also be a way to express intimacy, right?

"So, what will you do if I sing all these songs?" Yuan Xi asked nervously.

"I'll just write more!" Yang Ning smiled. "I have millions of songs in my mind, more than I can ever use!"

"You're bragging!" Yuan Xi pouted, but she didn't doubt it at all.

She really felt that Yang Ning could write millions of songs.

"But I probably won't release them publicly. That's not the path I'm taking."

His public image would be as an inventor, entrepreneur, and scientist.

Being a singer wasn't Yang Ning's path.

"Mhmm!" Yuan Xi nodded heavily. Since Yang Ning had his own plans, she would only choose to support him.
