Shadow Weaver

Chapter 36: Three Bushi

After bidding farewell to the man and the spirit, Xu Da was still extremely excited.

After returning to the B&B, she first briefly mentioned to Bai Miaomiao that Lan Xuesheng was interested in cooperating with them, and then she started a new round of groundhog screams.

But this time she was not the only one running around the house screaming - the other two girls, after hearing the good news she brought back, couldn't help but join the ecstasy.

——Although they did not admire Lan Xuesheng as much as Xu Yichi did, they had heard of the name of "Luminous Master Yunse" because of Xu Yichi and the nature of their work.

In addition, in today's era, game music has long become a very important part of game culture - there are even many games that have become popular from obscurity thanks to a variety of beautiful and moving theme songs or fan-made derivative songs with strong stories.

After all, not everyone can play games, but most people would not refuse to listen to well-produced music with beautiful lyrics in their free time.

——If they really had the opportunity to cooperate with the "Lansheng" brand or Lan Xuesheng herself...

Not to mention anything else, just the tag of "Guqin music specially composed for the game" is enough for them to take advantage of the popularity of "national style" in future promotions, attract more followers, and save a lot of money.

"However, Xiaoyi, when Taoist Jiazi talked to you about this matter, did he mention what specific form of cooperation Ms. Lan wanted to engage in with us?" An Qing, who was in charge of the family's financial power and was the first to calm down, asked calmly.

"Will she directly participate in the production of our game, or will it be a more outsourced cooperation, where we pay the money and she gives us a more favorable price, and then she will compose the music according to the character settings and plot we provide?"

"And how should the remuneration be calculated? Is it a profit-sharing system based on the number of plays and sales, or a deposit and final payment system, or a one-time buyout when the song is delivered? What kind of contract does she want? Are there any additional requirements?"

"——Has Taoist Master Jiazi mentioned all these?" An Qing frowned. As a qualified financial professional, her professional habits made her almost instinctively come up with a lot of questions in an instant.

Xu Yichi was stunned by the question. She stared at An Qing's eyes for a long time, then shook her head slowly and confusedly: "No, Taoist Jiazi didn't say that."

"He only talked about the specific cooperation plan and asked me to wait for the day to meet and discuss it with Ms. Lan in detail... I guessed that as a monk, he would not understand much about these things, so I didn't ask more questions."

"He just asked me to come back and arrange a time as soon as possible to give him or Ms. Lan an accurate answer... so that I can keep an eye on the piano store and see how to close it for a day."

"So... it's normal for them to not understand these things as Taoist priests." An Qing clenched his fists and pondered for a moment, "But Xiaoyi, did Ms. Lan specifically say that only you can go?"

"If the two of us want to go together, do you think it's possible?"

An Qing probed carefully - it was not that she wanted to deliberately disturb their studio's meeting with her beloved idol... The key point was that the matter involved cross-border cooperation between the studio and other brands. She was really afraid that Xiaoyi would not be able to understand the corresponding contract terms and make some mistakes.

"Ah, this doesn't mention any names." Xu Yichi scratched his head in confusion, "But when I looked at the chat records between Taoist Jiazi and Ms. Lan... Taoist Jiazi did mention only me."

"——It was agreed that a little fan who has liked her for a long time wanted to meet her. If we didn't even say hello and suddenly brought three people over... wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

As the girl spoke, an uncontrollable hesitation appeared in her eyes - although she also felt that she probably couldn't understand those complicated and twisted contracts with her own brain, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on her idol right away.

This was not only not conducive to her pleasant chat with Ms. Lan, but also not conducive to the two parties continuing to carry out various subsequent cooperation. "Well... what you said makes sense." An Qing raised his hand and rubbed his chin - if they wanted to cooperate with others, then the first impression of each other was of course very important.

Don't do things that are likely to ruin people's first impressions.

"Then... didn't Taoist Master Jiazi already give you Ms. Lan's V signal?" An Qing pursed his lips, thought about it and came up with a new idea, "How about you add her later, and then talk to her about this matter on V message - this way it probably won't be considered 'uninvited'?"

"This is definitely not 'uninvited'." Xu Yichi hesitated even more than before, "But this is a bit sudden, isn't it? It sounds quite presumptuous."

"After all, we are not familiar with them, and they have never seen us before."

——This is not like going to their friends’ house to play. We are all acquaintances. If we meet on the road, we can just take them over.

"That's right." An Qing smacked his lips. "Not only is it presumptuous, it's even a bit rude from some angles."

"So... what should we do now? We can't really let Xiaoyi go to the meeting alone, right?"

——Although this was not the Hongmen Banquet set up by King Xiang, she was really worried about this little fool in their family.

"Oh, that, I don't know about that." Xu Yichi said honestly. She knew that she was not very smart in this area, so she usually just focused on thinking about her weird (and vicious) game ideas.

"Let me think about it..." An Qing rubbed his chin with his hand. Bai Miaomiao, who had been watching the two of them struggling for a long time, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this.

"That's enough. Look at how tangled you two are." Bai Miaomiao lazily held her chin up, with an undisguised look on her face. "What a waste!"

"Actually, this problem is easy to solve - we just need to let Xiaoyi go there by herself first."

The girl in Hanfu stroked her skirt and said calmly: "At the moment, we haven't even started yet, and it's not certain whether we can get in touch with Ms. Lan——"

"Or, even if you do get a chance, you don't necessarily have to sign the contract on the same day."

"So, Xiaoyi, just go and talk to Ms. Lan about whatever you want to talk about. If we can really agree on this cooperation, you can tell her that you are not responsible for signing contracts in the studio, and make an appointment with her at another free time to invite both of us, right?"

Bai Miaomiao, who had adjusted the hem of her skirt, began to pull at the tiny wrinkles on her sleeves: "Anyway, we have the cooperation contract between Researcher Yang and Yunling Cultural Center, and we have no plans to leave Jin Province for the time being."

“There’s still plenty of time.”
