Chapter 488 It Was Not an Accident

Unfortunately not.

Mo Mo's face flushed slightly. "I can't look at anything else."

When you're young, you're more childlike, and the questions you choose are relatively harmless; it doesn't matter if they're seen.

But as you get older, it's not that the questions you ask are unhealthy, but rather that the feeling of having these thoughts completely unguarded and exposing them to others is just too embarrassing.

Even my favorite teacher, Wu Mu, is not allowed!

Wu Mu laughed heartily, "Then I won't watch it."

In a sense, Xiao Mo's problem sets are like browser browsing history; exposing them to others won't cause much harm, but it will definitely cause social problems.

Well, he actually suspected that his name was on the list of questions that Mo Mo had just pressed down on, otherwise Mo Mo wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

But these smart people shouldn't ask the question aloud.

Shu Mei, standing nearby, also clicked her tongue in regret. Looking at the notebooks on the bookshelf, she was very worried for Mo Mo. "Sister Mo Mo, these things are so important. Isn't it unsafe to just leave them here? What if someone sees them and steals them?"

Mo Mo was taken aback, then laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated. It's very difficult for thieves to get in here."

Shu Mei is very composed. "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing from me, I'm afraid of thieves eyeing me."

Who wouldn't be curious about what this legendary pop star thinks about every day?

If this were her brother's collection of questions, she would definitely look at it every day!
And since it was an accident, don't forget how her brother's house collapsed.

Well, it's best not to say it aloud, you smart person.

Mo Mo wasn't too worried at first, but seeing Shu Mei's eyes, she suddenly became a little worried. "Then I'll put it in the safe from now on."

After putting down the notebook, Mo Mo continued to show Wu Mu around.

Long ago, on that celebrity daily life program, the director introduced to the audience that for a musician, the workspace is often the most important place.

This rule doesn't quite apply to Wu Mu, whose workspace is incredibly shabby, but that's because he's cheating.

This applies particularly well to traditional musicians like Mo Mo.

"My workspace and bedroom are on the third floor. This second floor is mainly used for reading and entertainment," Mo Mo explained as he led Wu Mu and the others upstairs.

Wu Mu was quite surprised. "Are your workspace and bedroom on the same floor? Aren't they usually arranged separately?"

Shu Mei interjected, "Yes, I remember Liang Tianwang revealed that in order to separate his creative work from his personal life, he specially bought a house next door as a studio, saying that it was to give himself a hint that once he entered the studio, he should separate it from his personal life."

Mo Mo nodded, "I've visited his house, but I still prefer to keep them together."

She thought for a moment about her words and then smiled, saying, "I don't think life and music need to be separated; music is life."

Wu Mu clicked his tongue, "As expected of Teacher Mo Mo."

Like Director Lin, he also has a heartfelt love for his industry, except one is film and the other is music.

Upon reaching the third floor, Wu Mu, having witnessed the bold design of the second floor, assumed the third floor would be equally unique.

But to my surprise, it was quite serious, just a normal design.

"Go left from here and you'll find the workspace. At the end of the path, by the window, is a small recording studio. Then, to the right, this is my bedroom, and further on, there's a small quiet room," Mo Mo explained to them, before leading them towards the workspace.

Compared to Wu Mu's simple workspace, which showed no signs of use, Mo Mo's workspace was very professional and showed clear signs of use.

Not to mention the various large workbenches, controllers, listening devices, microphones, and so on, there are also a lot of musical instruments in the room, such as guitars, keyboards, and pianos.

Moreover, judging from the arrangement of these instruments, they are clearly frequently used. On the workbench and other instruments, there are various reference books and scores, several of which are laid face down, indicating that they have been used recently.

It's basically covered in signs of use.

Looking at the signs of use, Wu Mu asked curiously, "Are you writing new songs again? It's only the New Year, why don't you take a longer break?"

While Mo Mo's songwriting speed can't compare to those who rely on lotteries, it's still relatively prolific compared to other musicians.

Last year alone, besides her own official album, she wrote seven or eight new songs for the "Singer-Songwriter Group," as well as birthday songs she sent him privately and songs she sang for his birthday.

Moreover, the quality is not low.

When asked about this, Mo Mo looked somewhat helpless. "It's a project with a director friend I know. It's the theme song for a TV series. It was originally supposed to be released in the second half of the year, but recently they changed the release date. Writing it, singing it, recording, and production all take time, so it's quite rushed. Otherwise, I was planning to take a longer break."

Last year, Mo Mo was quite busy with work. She participated in the recording of several programs, released an album, and was invited to various galas. She originally planned to take a longer break during the Chinese New Year.

Looking at the sheet music on the table, Wu Mu asked curiously, "How many have you written?"

Mo Mo blinked at him, "It's about the same progress as Teacher Wu Mu's new game."

Wu Mu laughed, "But they haven't even really started yet?"

Mo Mo chuckled, "Teacher Wu Mu, you know you haven't even really started playing the game yet."

Wu Mu pretended not to hear and asked in detail, "What drama's theme song is it? What are the requirements?"

Mo Mo paused halfway through her sentence, "A period drama," and looked at him blankly.

This question sounds like Mr. Wu Mu is offering to help.

Wu Mu chuckled, "If you don't want to be busy, why don't you just ask me to sing a song for you?"

this.
If they ask you to write a song, then you'll be the one who's busy, right? Wait a minute, given Mr. Wu Mu's songwriting speed, he really doesn't seem to need to be busy.
Mo Mo swallowed her words, her eyes crinkling, "Teacher Wu Mu, don't you rarely write songs for others?"

Wu Mu waved his hand with great authority, "Others are others, and Teacher Mo is Teacher Mo. Feel free to speak up."

He really rarely writes songs for others.

In fact, given the exceptionally high quality of his songs, one masterpiece after another, countless people in the industry would ask him to write songs for them; his studio's business inbox is overflowing with requests.

But he has basically never sold any.

Firstly, it's too much trouble, and secondly, it doesn't fetch a good price.

His current price for commissioning songs is around one or two million, which is definitely considered a very high figure in the industry.

but.
It costs 100 points to acquire a song from Ah Tong, and a performance card worth 10 million also costs 100 points. Psychologically, there's always a feeling of losing out when it comes to acquiring songs worth one or two million. Even if the subsequent revenue sharing with the songwriters can gradually make up for this cost, it's still better to keep it on hand and wait for the right time to release it.

However, my good friend, Teacher Xiao Mo, is naturally different from others.

Mo Mo chuckled and stopped haggling. "I'll have my friend contact you to pay for the song you wrote. She'll be thrilled. They're making a period drama about love. The plot is about the reform and opening-up period, where the male and female leads fall in love with each other amidst the ups and downs of the times, but can't be together for various reasons."

"The director requested that the overall style of the theme song should have a sense of the times and the ebb and flow of the era, while not being detached from the expression of emotions."

There are quite a few requirements.

But what about songs with a contemporary feel?
Wu Mu thought for a moment, "I think I have some of these songs in my collection. I'll send you a demo later."

He had originally planned to spend some points to try his luck in the lottery, since he had plenty of points now and could be quite extravagant.

But it seems like there's no need for a lottery anymore.

The songs of music godfather Lo Ta-yu perfectly meet this requirement.

As for Luo Dayou's songs, he still has three unreleased ones: "Dream Chaser", "Love Song 1990", and "Love Song 1980".

Wu Mu agreed, while Mo Mo was undoubtedly somewhat stunned.

Do you have stock?
How many songs has Teacher Wu Mu released in the past six months? How come he still has unreleased songs?
Even Shu Mei, standing to the side, glanced at him, thinking, "Brother, how many songs do you have on your hands?!"

And why are they completely unaware of any information from the artist's studio staff?
Shu Mei thought to herself, but what could she do about her own brother?

She noticed something else and looked at Mo Mo with a sparkle in her eyes, "Sister Mo Mo, the period romance drama you're talking about, it wouldn't be Director Wu Qi's new drama 'Flowers of the Times,' would it?"

Mo Mo smiled and nodded, "Yes, have you heard of Amei?"

“Of course I’ve heard of it!” Shu Mei answered loudly.

Seeing the puzzled look on Bian Wumu's face, she quickly explained, "He's the director of 'Waves'."

Wu Mu exclaimed "Oh!" and said, "Now I've heard of it. It's a hit drama from the early days of Blue Star China, the kind that had a viewership rating of over 20% in the 2000s."

This director is a veteran TV drama director in China. In addition to that hit drama, he has directed several other popular dramas.

But these weren't what Shu Mei valued most; what she valued most was the director's network of connections.

All of this director's dramas air on CCTV-1!

Official connections, enough to reach other age groups on various platforms, are exactly what her brother needs.

Shu Mei was overjoyed; she hadn't expected that her brother's help would lead to something so good.

Although Mo Mo still sings the song, and her brother is just the lyricist and composer, it's still a good start, isn't it?

Moreover, she wasn't entirely happy about having her brother's personal relationship tied to Mo Mo's, since she considered herself one of the competitors.

But she was happy to have her brother associated with Mo Mo in singing.

It's great to be paired up with her, we can really capitalize on Mo Mo's good image!
Having taken on an extra job, Wu Mu continued to tour the site with Mo Mo.

After seeing the workspace, it's time to look at the bedroom.

It's worth mentioning that Mo Mo's workspace and bedroom are directly connected by a balcony corridor, a specially designed circular corridor, much like the pavilion-style corridor outside an ancient building.

This corridor connects all her rooms on the third floor.

The side garden scenery, which Wu Mu had never seen before, was immediately visible when he pushed open the French doors by the window of the workroom and stood in the corridor.

The babbling stream, the pavilions and ponds where various koi and medaka are raised, the small covered pavilion and rockery in the middle of the pond, the garden with various exquisite begonia-patterned window carvings and stone sculptures, and the carefully arranged bamboo and pine trees.
Even Wu Mu couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration, feeling that creating art in such a setting would inspire even more creativity.

Then, after arriving at Mo Mo's bedroom through this circular corridor, there's something else worth mentioning.

Wu Mu looked at a silver ring on Mo Mo's bedroom table and felt it looked familiar. "Why does this ring look a bit like mine?"

Shu Mei peeked out from the side and asked, "Where? Where?"

"Really?! It even has my brother's name in pinyin on it!" she exclaimed instinctively, but then paused, realizing what she was saying.

and many more!

How did my brother's ring end up in Mo Mo's room?!

Her gaze swept back and forth between Wu Mu and Mo Mo with a serious expression.

Mo Mo appeared quite calm. She picked up the ring on the table, held it in her palm, and sighed, "Teacher Wu Mu, you have such a good memory."

It was just a ring I lost a long time ago, yet I still remember it.

She smiled shyly, "This is the ring that you lost when you sang 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and then jumped into the water. An audience member found it and asked me to return it to you, but I had been forgetting to."

"So that's how it is." Wu Mu suddenly realized that he had indeed lost a ring that time.

After realizing what had happened, he thanked Mo Mo, "Thank you, Teacher Mo Mo. This ring was specially made for me to look rock and roll that time. I thought I had lost it, but I didn't expect to find it with you."

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Mo Mo.

but.
Mo Mo blinked and looked at him.

The two stared at each other for two seconds?

Ok?
Wu Mu's eyes showed some doubt. Didn't you forget to return it? You should return it.

Thinking Mo Mo hadn't reacted yet, he asked, "Teacher Mo Mo?"

Mo Mo still blinked at him.

They stared at each other for two seconds again.

Wu Mu silently withdrew his hand.

I understand now. It's not that I don't remember, but rather that I've already changed my surname to match theirs.

He tactfully changed the subject, saying, "Auntie and the others should have finished cooking by now, let's go down and check."

(All three leave slips were used up immediately.)
