Burned to ashes

You have a pile, I have a pile

Nobody knows anyone

All of it was sent to the countryside to be used as fertilizer.

Ah, dear friends

Who will be burned to ashes first?

Burn you first, then burn me.

"Anyway, it's all human bone and ashes." — "The Song of the Hall of Rebirth"

Bai Qianqu:

He glanced at Lilia, wondering if the girl might have some connection with Hu Tao.

Seeing Bai Qianqu looking at her strangely, Lilia said somewhat embarrassedly.

"This song was written for my friend Hu Tao when she came to visit."

You two actually know each other!

Bai Qianqu forced herself not to complain and pulled out another sheet of lyrics to read.

The lyrics this time were even more outrageous, leaving Bai Qianqu wide-eyed in astonishment.

It's so cold.

I played in the mud in Northeast China

Although the Northeast is not big

"I have no home in Dalian" — "Song of Northeast China"

Bai Qianqu:

With great perseverance, he extracted two more sheets of lyrics.

happy happy happy

happy happy happy happy happy]——"Happy Cat"

【You love me, I love you, Volt Girl's sweet love】—Volt Girl

This time, Bai Qianqu was completely overwhelmed; music suddenly appeared in his mind.

What kind of awful lyrics are these?! No wonder no one reads this huge pile of lyrics here.

To be honest, anyone would have to come in standing up and leave lying down.

These lyrics are so confusing! And they're contagious. Once you accept these premises, what if you come up with a few lines like these when you write your own songs?

However, after calming down, Bai Qianqu realized that what Cocolia said was not without reason. Lilia did have talent. Don't be fooled by the messy lyrics. If they could be set to music properly, they would have a strange kind of magic when sung. They were just too catchy.

However, Bai Qianqu couldn't help but ask, "What are the lyrics to your second song?"

Lilia replied calmly, "I don't know. One day, these lyrics just popped into my head, and I thought it was funny, so I wrote them down."

Bai Qianqu almost suspected that Lilia also had a system, so he deliberately started humming a tune.

"It's so cold!"

I played in the mud in Northeast China

Although the Northeast is not big

"Do I have no home in Dalian?"

Lilia's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Teacher Qu Yin, you wrote the piece in a flash?! It sounds so good!"

Bai Qianqu:

He quickly coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

"Ahem, let's not talk about Lilia. I just had some inspiration and sang a few lines."

Lilia nodded as if she understood: "Teacher Qu Yin is really amazing, she can come up with ideas so quickly."

Bai Qianqu covered her face, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground; it was just too embarrassing!

Cocolia asked her to choose lyrics for Lilia, but Bai Qianqu looked troubled. To be honest, there was no one who could write lyrics at Lilia's level. It was impossible to say who would ever be able to do it again. In fact, there was probably only Hu Tao who could compare to her.

One person is a master lyricist, the other a prodigy.

P.S.: Toppa! My Toppa! I've done 70 pulls and still haven't gotten her!

Chapter 98 Live Arrangement

He looked through some of Lilia's other lyrics and found that she always forced rhymes when writing lyrics, and most of them seemed to be written just for fun.

Good lyrics can elevate a song, but it's important to pay attention to the artistic conception. Forcing rhymes without considering the artistic conception will only backfire.

It's clear that Lilia is too focused on rhyming and lacks a proper understanding of word meaning, which is a fatal flaw.

This was indeed a headache for Bai Qianqu. The meaning of words, like the meaning of poetry, requires a long period of accumulation and a specific opportunity; it cannot be something that can be created simply by chance.

He was willing but unable to do anything about it and had no good solutions.

Just as he was worrying, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! A person with a talent for songwriting has been detected! A new task is being issued—Helping Others!]

[Helping Others: Please help Lilia complete the arrangement of one of the lyrics!]

[Mission Successful: Enjoy a 5% discount on one customized artwork!]

[Task failed: You can enjoy a 15% discount on your next commissioned artwork!]

Bai Qianqu was speechless. Was this system taking advantage of her poor math skills? Was a 15% discount even considered a discount?

And this kid is considered talented at writing lyrics?

Well, in a sense, yes, there is some truth to that.

Moreover, the rewards for this mission look pretty good; at least it will save you a lot of money.

Seeing that Bai Qianqu remained silent, Lilia felt a little uneasy and took the initiative to ask, "Teacher Qu Yin?"

Bai Qianqu then came to her senses: "Oh, it's nothing, I just remembered something else."

"Oh." Lilia nodded, then said, "Teacher Quyin, if you're really having trouble, then don't bother looking at it. Everyone who's read my songs shakes their heads and says they're no good, and that I don't have any talent for songwriting."

"Huh? Who said that?" Bai Qianqu picked up the lyrics to the song titled "Volt Girl." "I think this song is pretty good."

Seeing this, Lilia also went over to take a look.

When she saw the song, she was taken aback and quickly said, "Teacher Qu Yin, this song was just something I wrote for fun, it doesn't count, right?"

"Why doesn't it count? Isn't it fine? It has a beginning and an end."

"But this song is too short, isn't it?"

"Short? Short is better, it makes it easy to pronounce."

Bai Qianqu laid the lyrics of the song, titled "Volt Girl," flat on the table.

"Although the lyrics are short, the structure is very good. I've also thought of the melody. You can listen to it first."

Under Lilia's questioning gaze, Bai Qianqu softly hummed a melody that had swept the nation. To be honest, Bai Qianqu really didn't want to sing this kind of catchy, addictive song, because once you heard it, you wouldn't forget it even after drinking ten bowls of Meng Po soup.

Lilia was initially somewhat skeptical, but when she heard Bai Qianqu humming the melody, she was completely stunned.

This actually sounds pretty good? And it matches my lyrics really well?

Lilia had heard from others that some very talented composers could quickly compose music as soon as they received the lyrics.

She had always thought it was an exaggeration, but now that she had seen it with her own eyes, she had no choice but to believe it.

Teacher Qu Yin can actually compose and sing music live?! And not only that, but it's so perfectly suited to the role?!

No! Saying it's appropriate isn't quite right; it's more like it's mesmerizing! She only needed to hear it once to learn it.

Bai Qianqu stopped after humming a few lines; he really couldn't continue, otherwise he would never have been able to get rid of this song from his mind today.

"How about it? With a little arrangement, it might not be bad, right?"

Lilia nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling!

"This song is amazing! No, the melody is amazing!"

She still has some self-awareness. The reason this song sounds good is entirely because the melody is catchy; as for the lyrics, well, let's just say they're laughable.

This is a typical example: a divine melody doesn't need amazing lyrics.

Lilia was very satisfied with the song. Holding the lyrics, she said excitedly, "With this song, Minister Cocolia shouldn't hold Rosalia responsible for stealing her cookies."

Bai Qianqu was speechless; these two sisters were really quite a handful.

However, he was also a little curious. Judging from Lilia's lyric writing, she was clearly a newcomer to the industry, and her lyric writing skills were still relatively weak.

"Lilia, why do you want to be a lyricist?"

Bai Qianqu's question made Lilia silent for a moment before she said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, it's because Rosalia wants to be an idol. She said that an idol has to sing, and to sing, you need a professional lyricist and composer, so we came to learn how to write lyrics."

Bai Qianqu was immediately filled with question marks.

What kind of insane logic is this?! It's so ridiculous, I don't even know where to begin criticizing it.

"Wait, us?" Bai Qianqu suddenly realized something.

“Yes, Rosalia is also interning in the lyrics department.” Lilia nodded. “Most of these lyrics were written by Rosalia. It’s just that she overslept today and is probably still fast asleep at home.”

Bai Qianqu suddenly seemed to understand why so many bizarre lyrics appeared.

“I also feel like I don’t have much talent for writing lyrics,” Lilia said, somewhat frustrated. “I’ve been studying for three months, and I still can’t write a normal song. It seems Rosalia’s plan is going to fail.”

(You've already failed the moment you decided to follow Rosalia's plan!)

Bai Qianqu mentally ranted.

Anyway, he's completed the task Cocolia assigned him, so he can go back to slacking off now. If he keeps looking at these lyrics, his brain will get contaminated.

"You should know this song by now, right?" Bai Qianqu asked again before leaving, still worried.
