The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress - Chapter 269
Chapter 269: 101 Alian comes out of the mountains, composing again! (Second update)_3
When Man Xi was speaking, An Qi by her side also hardened his expression, “I’m going to tell the agent I’m not taking this song for the role unless they change the person.”
**
Xiangcheng First High.
Evening after school.
Jiang He was supposed to accompany Bai Lian to Ji Shaojun’s house the next day, so he waited early at the entrance of Xiangcheng First High for Bai Lian.
By his side, Ming Dongheng stood with his arms crossed, a cool expression on his face.
When he saw Bai Lian come out, Ming Dongheng lowered his hands, “Miss Bai.”
“Hmm.” Bai Lian, holding on to Jiang He’s sleeve, lazily waved her hand at Ming Dongheng, “You go back first, I will take him on the bus later, and I’ll send you something later.”
She was going to see Yan Lu and had Ming Dongheng wait for her there.
By now, Bai Lian’s prestige in Ming Dongheng’s eyes was no weaker than Jiang Fulai’s. After escorting the two to the Zhang family’s place, Ming Dongheng left immediately.
The Zhang family’s backyard.
Zhang Dad handed Jiang He a small stool to sit on, then went back to the front to help Zhang Mom.
Pu Xiaohan and Weng Qi were sent to the backyard before they could help in the front, and the two of them watched Yan Lu practice spearwork.
Sister Xin reported the news to Bai Lian with great excitement, “Miss Bai, the role is confirmed! It’s Yan Lu! It really is Yan Lu!”
To Sister Xin, this was like a pie falling from the sky.
Top-tier team, top-tier resources.
Yan Lu was bound to become popular.
“Hmm.” Bai Lian also stood aside, watching Yan Lu practice with the spear.
Her figure was tall and straight, one hand holding a phone, the other adjusting Yan Lu’s posture.
The setting sun cast upon her delicate profile, her eyes clear and shallow, her tone lazy, carrying a sense of aloofness as if everything was under her control.
Sister Xin was startled watching her.
Until a ringtone from her phone snapped her out of it.
It was a call from the production crew, which she had just saved in the afternoon, “Hello Director Wan, you say… ”
The call didn’t last long.
About two minutes.
After hanging up, Sister Xin’s face looked rather grim. She walked to a corner and dialed Time Entertainment’s executive in a low voice.
Behind her, Bai Lian glanced at Sister Xin.
In Time Entertainment, Man Xi, An Qi, and their agent were all in the executive’s office.
Upon receiving the call, the executive sighed inwardly, “There’s a conflict between An Qi and Yan Lu that I wasn’t aware of before. I’ve already discussed it with Director Wan, and we will find another teacher to compose for Yan Lu… It’s just… we might not find someone like An Qi again.”
Yan Lu lacked fame and talent; even if she played Bai Xiangjun, no renowned composer would write songs for her. In the end, they could only resort to an unknown composer.
In the office, An Qi’s face showed no expression.
Man Xi was looking down, with a sarcastic smile.
Sister Xin bit her lip and hung up the phone.
This was the plight of not being famous.
Bai Lian extended her hand and nudged Yan Lu’s spear upward, “Steady your squat.”
After adjusting the posture, her tone was as casually indifferent as ever, “What’s happened?”
Bai Lian looked at Sister Xin, her voice languid as she spoke, her eyes drooping lazily, the dark pupils reflecting Sister Xin’s image, like a lazy big cat that always gave people a sense of comfort.
Sister Xin gradually calmed down, “An Qi, who debuted with Yan Lu, initially gained some popularity due to Yan Lu’s attractiveness, and their CP became quite famous. However, An Qi had some talent and was arrogant. He never really respected Yan Lu, and after Man Xi joined Time Entertainment, he publicly supported his CP with Man Xi, causing his fans to mock Yan Lu, calling her a vampire.”
Of course, no one remembered that Yan Lu had been more famous than An Qi at the beginning.
“Ah?” Weng Qi scratched his head, lowering his voice, “Yan Lu debuted with CP hype with An Qi?”
Unaware that Weng Qi was Man Xi’s fan, Sister Xin nodded and continued, “For ‘Great Yong’, An Qi was originally writing a song for Bai Xiangjun’s character, but when he heard the actor was Yan Lu, he outright refused.”
Xiaohan, on the side, whispered, “Can’t they find someone else?”
“Let’s not mention the difficulty of finding someone more capable than An Qi,” Sister Xin glanced at Xiaohan, “the character song was agreed upon in advance, and An Qi should have been preparing for it a month ago. Next month we’re going to record the character song for promotion. How are we supposed to find someone on such short notice?”
“Character song?” In the silence, Bai Lian suddenly spoke up, “Are there any specific requirements?”
Sister Xin looked at Bai Lian, “No.”
“Oh,” Bai Lian nodded her head, her right hand tapping on the phone, then abruptly clenched it the next second, and she looked up against the backdrop of the setting sun, “Then I’ll write it for her.”
Sister Xin and Xiaohan were startled, especially Sister Xin. She instinctively looked at Bai Lian, “Miss Bai? Have you… ever written lyrics before? Studied music theory?”
She recalled Bai Lian was a high school senior studying science.
Bai Lian chuckled softly, “No, but I think I should be able to write.”
She had never written modern songs nor learned modern music theory, but aside from poetry, she had left behind dozens of lyrics, and as for composing—
She was the composer for “The White Robed Journey”.
After a thousand years, she finally…
Was going to compose once again!
