Music composers and producers were not as famous as idols and superstars, for they were much more professional than singers who only sing. The amateurs didn’t understand what they do, so music composers’ society was unknown to most people. Xue Yunfei only had four-hundred thousand fans on Wei Bo, but, of course, this number was much larger than the number of fans Liu Man had.

“Princess Man?” Xue Yunfei chuckled as he saw Liu Man’s nickname, “Your name’s a bit Mary Sue…” He looked again at Liu Man’s pretty face, “But it fits you.”

His teasing made Liu Man blush. She couldn’t confess that she was a princess; No one would believe her and would think of her as an insane narcissist. Liu Man had to silently agree she was a Mary Sue.

After the pair mutually followed each other, Xue Yunfei naturally started browsing Liu Man’s Wei Bo. Her posts were all cute pictures of her cats. They were the contents young girls were interested in, and they matched Liu Man’s personality.

Xue Yunfei conveniently dropped likes on a few of Daylight’s photos but didn’t repost them. However, there were still some insightful fans who noticed this verified account.

TL’s Note: On Wei Bo, it’s really hard to get your account verified by the Wei Bo officials. If your account is verified, then you must be very well-known or very accomplished. c:

“Sis has gained another godly follower.”

“Although I’ve never heard of this name, I google-searched for his description. He’s awesome.”

“You live under a rock if you’ve never heard of his name. Xue Yunfei’s a very famous composer and had helped write songs for many famous singers and background light music for the national documentaries.”

“Princess Man’s trip to Shanghai is uncommon… She got several famous people to follow her on Wei Bo.”

“Maybe he didn’t follow her just because of this trip. Our live-streamer studies music after all, so maybe she’s familiar with this composer. Even Tang Tu’s her upperclassmen, anyways.”

…

Xue Yunfei briefly scrolled through Wei Bo and told Liu Man,

“After we finish filming the movie, you and Tang Tu will still need to record your duet of ‘The Sound of the Wind.’ To make sure our movie goes popular, we are planning to publish all the related songs before the film gets published. Your duet is the theme song, so of course, it will be published early, too. I’m just telling you beforehand.”

“Okay,” This was also part of her part-time job requirements, so Liu Man obeyed.

“Okay. If there’s nothing else, I’m going to go now. I still have to find the lyrics and get an ending song. My head hurts just from thinking about all these tasks,” Xue Yunfei complained.

Liu Man felt it was strange. Xue Yunfei was a composer, so it was normal for him to feel writing lyrics was hard, but why would he find an ending song instead of composing it? His eyes divulged what she was thinking about at that moment.

Xue Yunfei was smart, so of course, he realized what she was wondering about, “I wrote a few songs and showed them to our beloved Director Ye, but he wasn’t satisfied with any of them. He skipped all of them without even respecting my work. I do have a temper, so why would I keep on composing songs if he doesn’t like my works? I’d rather find a fitting cyber song on the internet, buy the copyright, and make it into an ending song.”

Liu Man was surprised, “Even your song cannot satisfy Director Ye. Would cyber songs work?”

“Maybe cyber songs will work. There are many talented ones on the internet, and there might be unexpected results,” Xue Yunfei unconsciously stroked his beard, then suddenly remembered that piano song Liu Man played, which he eavesdropped. The style of that song matched his requirements, “What piece did you play a few minutes ago? It sounds good.”

“It’s a song named ‘The Untrammeled Traveler.’ I made some changes to the melody and the rhythm so that it can be played on the piano. Oh, yes, this song is a cyber song by Coco.”

Xue Yunfei, as if thinking about something, asked her, “Who’s Coco? Was she that cyber singer who sang beside you?”

Liu Man nodded, “Yes.”

“What was that song you accompanied Coco in the video?”

“It’s called ‘Thinking About You.” It’s Coco’s newest song,” Liu Man didn’t understand why Xue Yunfei was suddenly interested in Coco.

“Her style and melody do fit, but I don’t know if Ye Zian would like it or not. When I have time, I’ll let him listen to it,” Xue Yunfei murmured to himself.

Xue Yunfei was big on actions. He lived in the same hotel as Ye Zian, and as soon as Ye Zian came back at midnight, he knocked on Ye Zian’s door.

“Director Ye, I found a good song that can be our ending song.”

Ye Zian was busy all day, and he was exhausted. He was in no mood to listen to a song and didn’t want to talk to Xue Yunfei at all.

“We can talk about it tomorrow.”

“No, no. You’ll have something else to do tomorrow, and you might be back even later than tonight. We’ll do today’s things today, so listen to this song.”

Xue Yunfei was extremely hard to deal with when he gets stubborn. Ye Zian felt annoyed, but he had to yield.

“All right. Play it to me on your phone.”

Xue Yunfei immediately opened “Thinking About You,” which he had downloaded beforehand, and started playing it as he said, “This song is called ‘Thinking About You.’ It’s a cyber song.”

Ye Zian heard it was a cyber song and felt it contempt even more. Cyber stars, cyber songs, and cyber singers would never make it into the entertainment circle.

When Xue Yunfei said he was going to find a cyber song for the ending song, Ye Zian thought he was saying it because he was too angry and was making a joke. He didn’t expect Xue Yunfei to be serious about it.

To prevent Xue Yunfei from infuriating, Ye Zian perfunctorily cooperated with him and listened to the song without paying attention to it. But as the song went on, he realized he was paying more and more attention, and when the song came to an end, he was already concentrating on it.

Xue Yunfei knew, from his expressions, that the song matched his expectations. After the song ended, he asked Ye Zian.

“How is it? Are you finally satisfied this time?”

“The song is okay, but the lyrics do not match the film’s topic.”

Ye Zian never knew how to please anyone, and he didn’t want to lose his face. To make him say “okay” was already difficult to accomplish.

“Didn’t you think cyber songs too low? Now you’re changing your mind, huh? I still stick with that saying. ‘Talented people are everywhere, but they easily get buried up by people.’ Now God found me a treasure,” Xue Yunfei said proudly.

“How did you find this song?”

“Liu Man recommended it to me. She personally knows the singer.”

Xue Yunfei did not make any more explanations, and Ye Zian did not ask any more questions.

“The lyrics weren’t for our movie, so it, of course, didn’t match your requirements. If you think the song is okay, I will contact Coco, the writer of this song, tomorrow, so we can talk about revising this song.”

Ye Zian went silent for a moment before saying, “You just said this song is ‘Thinking About You?’ Talk to this singer and see if she can change the lyrics and change the name to ‘Thinking About Her.” Then, you can re-compose this song.”

Xue Yunfei seemed suddenly inspired, “Of course! No wonder you’re Director Ye; you inspired me instantly.”

Not only was he saying this to be a sycophant, but he was honest when he complimented on Ye Zian’s talent and taste.

It wasn’t something to be delayed. Xue Yunfei immediately contacted Liu Man to ask her for Coco’s contact.
