Sweet Beloved Reborn

Chapter 42: Invited to Make Movie Scores



“I’m going to practice the piano.” Shen Yinian had no interest in gossip. Song Qinghuan nodded and watched Shen Yinian walking into the training room next door. She picked up her cell phone again and entered two words with a shaking finger on the input box.

Jing Yu.

The screen changed to “Found about 22, 766, 987 related results for you”.

The first one was the personal glory of Ms. Jing Yu.

During more than 20 years of her film career, she had won multiple international awards. Her agent was Jingyu Studio.

The screen went dark before being lit again. The shaking phone disrupted Song Qinghuan’s thoughts. She came back to her sense and realized that she had been absent-minded again. It was the famous scriptwriter Qu Wenyou that was calling.

“Hello, Teacher Qu?”

Song Qinghuan turned off the TV. She looked at the time, and it was shortly before 8:30 at night.

“Xiaohuan, it’s me. Are you available to talk now?” Qu Wenyou’s voice was as gentle as water. After Song Qinghuan decided to invest in movies, everyone exchanged numbers. Qu Wenyou also added her as a WeChat friend and created one WeChat group.

In the beginning, the couple called Song Qinghuan “Boss Song” whenever possible. Song Qinghuan felt awkward and told them to simply call her name. So, she became “Xiaohuan”.

The drama “Reverse Life” started the filming process one week after the funds were in place. Although the couple of Xu Hao and Qu Wenyou didn’t have the funds, they had already secured the cast, and everyone was new.

“No.” After Song Qinghuan had a small talk with Qu Wenyou, Qu Wenyou finally got to the point.

“Movie score? You want me to compose?” Song Qinghuan was a little surprised.

“Yes.” Qu Wenyou, on the other end of the phone, chuckled, “I heard the song you wrote for the centennial celebration of Xinghan Music Academy. It is very nice.”

The most important point was that Qu Wenyou felt that Song Qinghuan could give her the feeling she wanted.

The comedy movie “Reverse Life” was about a middle-aged couple having a car accident when they were about to get a divorce. The two returned to the early 1990s, and the couple’s souls swapped, which was quite funny. Then a series of hilarious incidents followed.

The phrase that people often talked about was “sharing sweetness and sufferings.” During the process of “sharing sufferings,” the couple held on to each other with no complaints or regrets. But they gradually went on different paths during the time of “sharing sweetness.”

The couple, who exchanged their bodies, thought that they would not want to see each other for the rest of their lives, but they changed the previous idea after experiencing the dilemma the other party faced then.

The flow of the story was very well controlled, and it almost made people laugh all the way through. But when you were done laughing, you would feel the same as those in the movie.

It asked people to cherish those in front of you in a lyrical comedy.

It was impossible to make it clear on the phone, and Qu Wenyou made an appointment with Song Qinghuan to meet in person. The crew was located in a county town with historical and cultural features. Song Qinghuan looked at her class schedule and arranged a time for the meeting.

After she hung up, she chose to forget about “Best Actress” Jing Yu’s affairs.

Since the centennial celebration, Song Qinghuan had made a big splash at Xinghan Music Academy.

After the holiday, she had already received a dozen of love letters right after she returned to school and finished her morning class. She wasn’t sure whether these people were influenced by Xiang Yan’s “Love Letter” MV. Some letter papers, as well as the methods of folding, were the same as those in the MV.

When one was walking on campus, Xiang Yan’s songs could still be heard on the school radio. Even after the summer vacation, Xiang Yan’s new album was still dominating major campuses and the streets and lanes at the speed of a typhoon.

When Song Qinghuan and Shen Yinian met at the second canteen, they looked at each other’s love letters and were silent.

They waited in line to buy lunch, and when they chose a table, they could hear the voices of the students around.

“Are they Song Qinghuan and Shen Yinian?”

“Wow, she looks even better than in photos!”

“Is Song Qinghuan relying on Shen Yinian as her prop? Since she entered school, she has been with Miss Shen.”

“…”

When Shen Yinian heard someone talking about her relationship with Song Qinghuan, she squeezed her chopsticks tightly before glaring over at the chattering people.

Shen Yinian was the aloof goddess outside, and her cold glare suddenly made the surroundings much quieter.

Song Qinghuan tugged at her finger, smiled, and calmed her down, “Just eat.”

“These people are so annoying!” It was the first time Shen Yinian studied in a boarding school and lived her life in a group. Before that, she was always picked up and dropped off, and she also had bodyguards while traveling.

Shen Yinian was not the kind of person who took the initiative to talk with people, so she didn’t even have a close friend since her childhood. So, when she finally met Song Qinghuan, who was trying to make friends with her, she couldn’t be happier. Well, this group of people just liked talking behind others’ back and gossiping all day.

Song Qinghuan chuckled and said, “It’ll be fine when you get used to it.” If you really wanted to get serious with these people, you would have been furious by now.

Song Qinghuan and Shen Yinian were in different departments. They only had a few elective courses together, and they rarely saw each other.

After dinner, Shen Yinian was called away by a teacher. Song Qinghuan went to the practice room to practice by herself. In this life, she had little obsession with singing but was very interested in music creation.

In the course of a class, she also had a strong desire to master different musical instruments.

Xinghan Music Academy’s practice rooms had limited daily time for everyone. One needed to register in order to use the public practice room. When Song Qinghuan arrived, she found that the practice room she often visited had been temporarily used by others.

She entered the piano room next door and took out her practice sheet from her schoolbag. She remembered that Qu Wenyou let her compose the music score of “Reverse Life.” With her amazing memory, Song Qinghuan went through the plot in her mind last night.

Sitting in front of the piano, she placed her practice sheet on the piano, turned to a blank page, opened the recording pen, and set it aside. After preparing, Song Qinghuan put her fingers on the black and white keys, lost in thought. Soon, she was immersed in the plot again.

The fingertips began to fall on the keys unconsciously, and cheerful notes started to flow out under Song Qinghuan’s fingertips.

The sound of the piano was intermittent, and the person who was playing stopped from time to time. Sometimes she would spontaneously add a string of scales and it so repeated.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The practice sheet was already full of characters, and the handwriting was in the standard Song Qinghuan style.

During this time, Song Qinghuan deleted the contents which she was dissatisfied with. After she played the first half smoothly, the corner of her mouth curled up.

“Clap clap.” At this moment, the sound of applause came from the piano room.
