If you can't beat them, join them

What surprised Nan Ye was that it was Ran Yunfei who sought him out this time.

"Hello Nan Ye, I am Ran Yunfei, manager of Xingxing Entertainment.

Currently, my company is filming a TV series about the Hegemon-King and Consort Yu, and we are lacking a theme song.

This time I came to you to invite you to compose a song. The price is negotiable..."

There was nothing he could do, he didn't want to do this either, but ever since the Four Young Generals returned, the trending topics have been revolving around them and Nan Ye.

It's extremely difficult to maintain a trending topic for a longer period.

The three major entertainment companies can't control it, let alone the mid-tier Xingxing Entertainment.

And so, the promotion for """yu xi sigh""" was delayed by another month.

If it's delayed any further, it'll be too late.

Since Nan Ye has the constitution of a trending topic king, why not use his power?

If you can't beat them, join them!

This is Ran Yunfei's current idea.

...

The story of the Hegemon-King and Consort Yu?

Nan Ye remembered a song that was very popular online once. Coincidentally, this song was also called yu xi sigh.

Perhaps this is fate!

He directly exchanged the song with the system and then sent the demo to Ran Yunfei.

Ran Yunfei was stunned!

One second I'm discussing the song with you, the next second you send me the song?

Do you have to be this fast?

The rumors online that you can compose a song in a day still underestimated you!

Immediately after, he saw Nan Ye's reply:

"This song came out a while ago, but I haven't had time to release it yet. Now it seems it should be suitable for your TV series!"

Ran Yunfei replied instantly: "Let me listen first!"

Ancient style song!

Unique vocal style.

It is indeed quite suitable as a theme song.

"How many beauties in troubled times are exchanged for a long sigh"

When Ran Yunfei heard this line, he had already decided to buy this song.

"""yu xi sigh""" itself is a TV series centered around Consort Yu, telling the story of her deep affection with the Hegemon-King, and her drawing her sword and committing suicide after singing "He Gaixia Song".

Amidst the change of dynasties, the common people fell into troubled times, and no one was spared.

Beauties are even more ill-fated, in the end, only a long sigh remains.

How fitting the description in this lyric is when used here, it surprisingly blends perfectly with the theme of the TV series.

If it wasn't Ran Yunfei's first time talking with Nan Ye, he would have really thought Nan Ye had already seen this TV series.

"6 million, as a theme song, how about it?"

This price is already very high, and this is based on Nan Ye's current popularity as a Little General.

For ordinary Singers, even with singing included, it would only be one to two million.

Ran Yunfei didn't think it was expensive, buying a song comes with a trending topic.

It's worth it!

"5 million is fine, I won't include singing.

It's not that I don't want to sing, but this song is more suitable for a female to sing.

A good horse deserves a good saddle, it shouldn't be wasted."

Ran Yunfei still greatly admired Nan Ye's attitude towards music.

But it was still a bit of a pity, there was quite a difference between Nan Ye singing it himself and letting another Singer sing it.

The promotional effect would be much worse, right?

"Alright then, do you have any recommended Singers? Or should we find one ourselves?"

The style of """yu xi sigh""" is incredibly unique, it's very difficult to reproduce it. Among those he currently interacts with more, such as Situ Yanran, Bai Yuwei, Leap, and others.

None of them are very suitable for this song.

On the contrary, Little General Shen Qingyi is more suitable.

However, the Four Young Generals returning to the country was originally to suppress Nan Ye.

Now Nan Ye is actually inviting them to sing his song, doesn't that seem a bit unreasonable?

I'm afraid the Netizens will all find it strange!

Thus, Nan Ye also crossed out Shen Qingyi in his heart.

"How about this, you look around first, and then we can see together if there are any more suitable Singers.

I'll also have Leap and Situ Yanran help me look..."

If absolutely necessary, Nan Ye even thought about finding some traditional opera actors to audition, maybe the effect would be better.

...

In December, the snow fell without warning.

The calendar was pitifully thin, so thin it felt tragic.

The weather in the Imperial Capital was much colder than in Yan City, and Nan Ye was really a bit unaccustomed to it.

He thought the few items he brought were enough, who knew they couldn't withstand the cold at all.

As the wind blew, the biting cold air directly penetrated into his bones.

As soon as he got off the plane, he ran to a store and bought a thick coat.

He didn't have a good look around last time, and this time he had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well walk around.

Anyway, the exchange meeting doesn't start until tomorrow, so today he can play however he wants.

As he walked, he arrived at the relatively famous Tongyun Bridge.

At the site of the Zhangjiawan Town city wall ruins, there are usually quite a lot of tourists.

Because it spans over the Empress Xiao River, it is also commonly known as Empress Xiao Bridge.

Stone railings are set on both sides, made of blue sandstone. Each side has 22 carved lion-shaped pillars, each with a different expression, and 21 relief-carved vase-shaped panels, with different vase patterns.

At the bridgehead, a crowd had gathered, and Nan Ye also went over to take a look.

Joining in the fun seems to be human nature, and Nan Ye was no exception.

Looking closer, it turned out to be a stall. The stall owner wasn't selling souvenirs or grilled sausages or anything, but sugar figurines.

Kids generally like this stuff; they can't walk away when they see it.

They either pester adults to buy it, or run home to ask for money. Those who really have no money are unwilling to leave, watching the stall owner make sugar figurines with eager eyes.

Whether they'll eat it is one thing, but watching it being made is quite fun.

On a whim, Nan Ye even asked the stall owner to teach him how to make sugar figurines.

Getting started wasn't as difficult as imagined, but shaping it into something good-looking was very difficult.

The stall owner watched Nan Ye learning quite well and advised:

"Learn well, young man. If you don't want to work for others,"

"come here and learn a skill."

"Not many people know how to make sugar figurines now."

"But don't underestimate this skill, our ancestor is Liu Bowen!"

"Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang burned his meritorious officials to ensure his throne could be passed down through generations."

"Our ancestor narrowly escaped and was saved by an old man carrying sugar figurines. The two exchanged clothes, and from then on, Liu Bowen lived in anonymity, making sugar figurines every day..."

Nan Ye smiled and thanked the stall owner for his kindness:

"Okay, if I can't find a good job, I will definitely come and learn from you!"

It's just that, it seems I haven't worked for others for a long time?

These days are comfortable!

Just as Nan Ye was about to leave, he suddenly heard a child crying.

Nan Ye looked over. The adult picked up the child, but his foot hurt as soon as it touched the ground, and he couldn't walk at all.

There were no hospitals or anything near the ruins, which made them extremely anxious.

"Let me take a look, how did the child get injured?" Nan Ye squatted down and gently stroked the child's right foot.

"Are you a Eason Chan?" Liang Yuting was as excited as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Yes, I have a Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing certificate!"

This time, Nan Ye learned his lesson. When he went out, he carried his Ming Doctor practicing certificate with him, and his bag would also be equipped with a set of acupuncture needles, just in case.

"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" When Liang Yuting heard that Nan Ye was a Ming Doctor, her expression wasn't very good.

How good could the medical skills of such a young Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner be?

Just as she was about to refuse, she was stopped by Liang Guyin:

"Sis, I know this young man, his character is good. If he is confident, just let him treat him!"

"You know him? Is he very famous?"
