Rebirth from the Ashes

501-502

“These are the songs. Let’s have a listen to see what you like. You can try to fill in the lyrics and I’ll help you with that.” Su Muyan told her.

Su Ruowan gratefully stared at him. Her voice was soft and sweet like cotton candy. “Thank you, Muyan.”

“It is nothing if it helps you sail smoothly to your debut.” Su Muyan could already see it. He would be delighted for his sister to debut front and center but more so over the moon to step on Cosmos Entertainment to get ahead.

Nevertheless, he hit a stalemate with Mr. Xixi, unable to make any progress with the latter in the past two days. Su Muyan struggled to come up with a way to get through to him.

Yet, he was determined to make a breakthrough, or impress for a lack of a better word. Still, he did feel better that he was not alone in this. Mr. Xixi was not close with the other mentors as well.

“I will do my best.” Su Ruowan cheerfully balled up her fist.

“I believe you can do it. You are the best among all these trainees.” Su Muyan looked proud.

The duo listened to the music together to choose a tune.

Su Ruowan quietly remained attentive. Sure, she did not have the talent to compose a song, but that did not mean she could not appreciate a good song. She could pick up the good from the bad easily.

Su Muyan was quite accomplished in music. To him, the first few songs were mediocre and probably would do for Youtube singers. However, it was not good or mind-blowing enough for Wanwan to make it huge on the main stage.

Su Ruowan grew impatient as she listened on. Did Muyan give any thought to this? She might as well write her own songs than use these trashy songs.

The pair sat for a while giving an ear to the music. They had to first filter through the songs, then pick a few before making their final decision.

Suddenly, their eyes lit up when the prelude of another song came on after a lackluster one. They exchanged a glance and continued listening.

With the song coming to an end, Su Ruowan became unsure. Was it just a less trashy song out of all the rest? She turned to Su Muyan. “What do you think about this song, Muyan?”

Su Muyan nodded. “You can definitely perform this song on stage and make a splash with the nice and catchy tune, but it’s hard to say if it’d be a big hit.”

There was a saying going round in showbiz that publicity was what drew attention, but to make it big, it took fate. These words rang true not only to artists but also to songs. It was easier to make a splash through hyping, but to blow the audience away required both quality and chance.

Ten minutes later.

The QQ account Shen Xi got from Yuan Yu suddenly beeped. The icon was blinking under the name, Su.

Su sent a cropped picture. [Su: This is the song I picked. Get someone to choreograph the song too.]

Shen Xi imitated the former account user’s style of speech. [Microwave: Sure, of course. I have someone in mind. Leave it to me. You can count on me.]

[Su: I want the choreography in two days.]

Shen Xi curled her lips while her lean fingers danced around the keyboard. [Microwave: Alrighty! Get the money ready and leave the rest to me.]

Chapter 502: Not Taking Someone Else’s Word For it

No further reply was heard from Su. It was only a transaction of money for service between a buyer and a seller. There was not much to talk about.
