Listening to the live version of "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" once again, Zheng Kuo regretted it and hit his chest with a sigh.

"If I'd known about this piece earlier, I would definitely have altered the script to add a female character and included a duet scene at the very least!"

Zhao Xiaodao didn't have a musical talent setting in the script, so this even more stunning qin and xiao duet version was unusable.

"No, wait! I must be stupid! We can use it elsewhere, or even as the end credits song!" Zheng Kuo suddenly smacked his forehead hard, then looked towards Lu Zheng with glowing eyes.

Lu Zheng looked at Si Lingxi, and she nodded, "No problem."

With that, Lu Zheng also nodded and said to Huang Kun, "It just so happens that this piece has two copies, send me one, I'll send it to your email."

"Sure, sure!"

"Alright, I'll play another piece, the 'Phoenix Order'."

"There's more!?" Zheng Kuo was taken aback.

Zhao Xiaodao's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to Shen Ying, whispering, "Did Lu Ge compose this too?"

Shen Ying smiled and nodded, "This was a special gift Lu Zheng composed for Sister Lingxi previously."

Zhao Xiaodao was shocked, "I never knew that Lu Ge could even compose music!"

Shen Ying couldn't help but laugh, "There are many things you don't know yet."

As they spoke, Lu Zheng entered the recording studio and began playing the "Phoenix Order."

The Phoenix Order is divided into three sections, each lasting more than three minutes, requiring ten minutes to complete.

And during those ten minutes, there were almost no completely identical segments, and no one showed any signs of getting bored, fully immersed.

Even Si Lingxi had a smile on her face, slightly nodding as she enjoyed it.

Then, after Lu Zheng came out, a spirited Si Lingxi went into the recording studio, and several ancient tunes that no one had heard before started to play one by one.

Huang Kun: (´°Δ°`)

Zheng Kuo: (ง˙o˙)ว

It's not that they were making a fuss over nothing, it was the fact that Si Lingxi's zither and xiao songs were so melodious, after all, they were in the arts, they had some professional proficiency, and it was easier for them to be immersed, so they were even more shocked.

What's going on?

Every piece was an ancient tune they had never heard before.

Every piece allowed them to feel the emotion within.

Each piece was a mental realm-level ancient tune, evoking vivid scenes when you closed your eyes.

Including "Feathered Robe Dance" and "Winged Love Song," Si Lingxi played a total of three zither pieces and two xiao pieces, finally feeling a bit satisfied, and left the recording studio.

The three of them stared at Si Lingxi in awe.

Only Lu Zheng and Shen Ying, who had heard Si Lingxi's casual performances before, weren't surprised, though listening to her play was always a top-level enjoyment.

As Si Lingxi came out, Lu Zheng stepped forward to hug her, "That was beautiful!"

Si Lingxi flirtatiously rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng, "How long has it been since you composed a new piece? Last time, I wanted you to play a new tune, but someone interrupted."

Shen Ying laughed innocently, "But Sister Lingxi didn't refuse, did she?"

"These are all too amazing..." Zheng Kuo's eyes spun rapidly, thinking about where these tunes could fit in the series.

"So, Mr. Lu, are these pieces Miss Si played composed by you two, with their own copyrights?"

"Yes." Lu Zheng nodded.

Zheng Kuo's eyes lit up, "Then can we..."

This time, before Si Lingxi could answer, Lu Zheng spoke first, "Whether they can be used depends on how the series is filmed."

Zheng Kuo was stunned by these words, quickly realizing that Lu Zheng meant that it depended on whether his series could match these songs.

This was too arrogant; he'd never seen such a musician before, when wasn't it the series that chose the music? Even when a series liked a particular famous song, he'd never heard of a rights holder refusing...

Zheng Kuo licked his lips, suppressing his faint anger, and said with a harmonious smile, "This is a series starring Little Saber, a top-tier production!"

As he spoke, Zheng Kuo instinctively looked to Zhao Xiaodao, hoping he would interject.

And Zhao Xiaodao, shrewd as a fox, not only understood Lu Zheng's intention but also saw the reason behind his words.

The previous piece, "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix," was a work composed by him, and considering their friendship, since Zhao Xiaodao spoke up, Lu Zheng took it out without caring about the price.

As for the ancient tunes Si Lingxi just played, they were obviously her own works, and Lu Zheng visibly respected Si Lingxi more, worried she'd feel obliged to hand them over for his sake, so he spoke up first.

In Lu Zheng's view, even a top-tier series starring Zhao Xiaodao, if not up to par, would not be entitled to use Si Lingxi's pieces.

At the same time, this also showed that Lu Zheng truly considered Zhao Xiaodao a friend.

So Zhao Xiaodao nodded repeatedly, "Lu Ge is right, Sister Lingxi's music is so classic, ordinary series don't measure up!"

Zheng Kuo, "..."

"Little Saber!" Zheng Kuo couldn't help but motion to Zhao Xiaodao.

The contribution of classic series music to a series' popularity is something even ordinary people can appreciate, let alone a professional like Zheng Kuo.

He was certain that once these classic ancient tunes were paired with the edited scenes, "Biluo Song" would gain a huge fan following before it even aired.

This was a major production that could ensure Zhao Xiaodao maintains her top-tier star status; how could she side with outsiders?

Zhao Xiaodao said to Zheng Kuo, "Director Zheng, don't be anxious, let's put 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' in first, then when post-production editing is nearly done, head to Hai City to discuss it with Lu Ge and Sister Lingxi."

"But this might delay things, and some parts might need to be re-edited and produced." Zheng Kuo quickly said.

"Then re-produce them," Zhao Xiaodao said calmly, "I'll speak to President Wen about it."

"This... okay."

What could Zheng Kuo do? He was just a series director, and although he'd directed some rather famous series, he couldn't compare in status to Zhao Xiaodao.

"Lu Ge, what do you think?"

"Sure!" Lu Zheng smiled and nodded.

"Then let's eat, it's almost noon." Zhao Xiaodao exclaimed, "You and Sister Lingxi have been playing for so long, you must be hungry. I'll treat."

...

Everyone had lunch together, and then Lu Zheng took Si Lingxi and Shen Ying home, while Zhao Xiaodao and Zheng Kuo headed to the airport, preparing to return to Beidu.

Not long after getting home, Lu Zheng received a few music files from Huang Kun, and he immediately sent them to the [Two Realms Group].

Liu Qingyan: Sounds great (thumbs up.jpg)

Lin Wan: Sounds great (thumbs up.jpg)

Shen Ying: Sounds great (thumbs up.jpg)

Si Lingxi: (happy.jpg)

Lu Zheng looked up at the four women sitting together in the living room and was speechless.
