Chapter 46: My Senior Sister is Very Happy
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
Qingzi and Lu Chang asked one after another.
He Biyun was also a bit baffled: "I don't know. I hadn't even had time to say anything, and as soon as he saw me, he got scared and ran away..."
"Scared and ran away?" Qingzi said.
"Yeah, that expression looked like... like he was terrified of seeing me?" He Biyun said.
...
Was Zhao Tiantian angry?
Actually, she was a little angry, and besides, what happened at Spark Company that day had reached her family's ears, and they kept asking what was going on.
However, the reason she hadn't gone to school lately was entirely because of work—specifically, discussing the TV series The Great Legend of Sun Tzu.
To her surprise, while reading the script at home that afternoon, she suddenly received a text message from Li Jingkun: "Senior Sister, do you have to be like this? It's only been three days without a reply, and you send your roommate to terrorize me?"
Zhao Tiantian was a bit dazed, having no idea what he was talking about.
Before she could reply, another text from Li Jingkun came in: "If you're free tomorrow, come find me, and I'll give you the lyrics and the melody."
"Forget it, just send me your email address, and I'll send it to your inbox tonight."
A triple strike of text messages left Zhao Tiantian completely dumbfounded.
...
Li Jingkun had truly decided to apply himself to his studies. Although his cinematography skills were decent in his past life, and he had later shot short videos, minidramas, and Douyin content, many professional knowledge gaps still remained. Therefore, he wanted to quickly fill those gaps.
Then a variable popped up: he hadn't expected Big Tiantian to come looking for him, asking him to write a song.
However, being frightened by He Biyun just now was merely an accident; her appearance somewhat resembled a certain person from his past life, which genuinely startled him.
...
Zhao Tiantian sent her email address to Li Jingkun, but she no longer had the heart to read the script, her mind filled with confusion. So she texted Lu Chang to ask what had happened.
At first, Lu Chang was reluctant to say anything because He Biyun had told her not to. But she herself was full of questions, so she ended up telling Big Tiantian anyway.
Although Zhao Tiantian didn't understand why Li Jingkun would act like that, she couldn't help bursting into loud laughter.

She recalled that when Li Jingkun saw her, he also seemed somewhat afraid? And the second time, he felt a bit impatient.
Was there something wrong with him? Afraid of girls?
It didn't seem like it.
Then why?
She couldn't figure it out.
Yet she figured the person who understood it least right now was probably He Biyun.
Hahaha!
Although Junior Brother Jingkun was also a bit impatient with me, he wouldn't go so far as to be scared away by me directly.
It seemed He Biyun was still the scarier one after all.
If the quality of the song turned out to be good, she supposed she would have to thank He Biyun as her lucky benefactor.
Finally, around nine o'clock in the evening, Li Jingkun messaged to say the lyrics and melody had both been sent to her inbox.
She eagerly opened them to take a look, though to be honest, aside from the title and the lyrics, she couldn't understand a single thing else.
Consequently, she casually forwarded it to the company manager, asking him to find someone who understood music to take a look.
The manager replied very quickly, saying that both the lyrics and the melody were very mature, with a high degree of completion. The melody was wonderful, the meaning expressed in the lyrics was also excellent, and even all the contents of the musical score along with detailed reduction notation and orchestration instructions had been written out. By then, the orchestrator would only need to compile them into a full score...
In short, this song, Hello Tomorrow, was an exceptionally brilliant piece, and it suited her vocal style remarkably well.
Zhao Tiantian was genuinely pleasantly surprised and couldn't help letting out a squeal of joy in her room. Then, remembering something, she hurriedly replied to Li Jingkun: "Thank you, Junior Brother! I received the song, and I love it! Let's find a time for me to bring the money over to you, or you can give me your card number and I can transfer it to you."
After waiting for a long time, Li Jingkun finally replied: "We'll talk about it when we meet."
Talk about it, talk about it, talk to your head!
It was just as perfunctory and impatient as his previous replies to her, but this time Zhao Tiantian didn't mind at all!
She felt she was starting to understand Li Jingkun as a person; perhaps he was simply that kind of individual.
Talented, yet indifferent to the prestige. While others thought he was formidable in music, he himself remained somewhat disdainful, as if refusing to take pride in it.
Well, much like herself, Zhao Tiantian—everyone assumed she was wealthy and that she should be proud and happy about it, yet she didn't care about that at all; instead, she cared far more about her pursuit of music and drama!
Finally, she thought of someone else. Yes, she had another person to thank this time.
If not for that person's assist, Junior Brother Jingkun probably wouldn't have written the song for her so quickly.

Thus, she also sent a message to He Biyun: "Hahaha, thank you for your help today. Junior Brother was so scared he sent me the lyrics and melody overnight."
He Biyun quickly replied: "...... What on earth is going on? What does that so-called junior brother mean? Am I really that terrifying!!"
What answered He Biyun was a string of: "Hahahahaha."
"......"
Chest tightness!
...
Actually, the future Chinese music scene was destined to gradually decline, with good singers and good music becoming scarcer and scarcer. The songs Li Jingkun could write were limited, and not many were suitable for Big Tiantian to perform.
Still, there were quite a few outstanding female singers, but many songs had a level of difficulty that made him worry she wouldn't be able to sing them well. In the end, he chose one he felt she could pull off.
Later on, Big Tiantian didn't seek him out again, and Li Jingkun didn't mind. Instead, Big Tiantian messaged to explain that she had recently accepted a TV series and was preparing for it, and she would treat him to a meal once she returned to school after a while.
Li Jingkun felt this was actually a bit of a problem. Many people who had already been admitted to Beijing Film Academy would run outside day in and day out while studying, barely attending proper classes for even a few days, only to accumulate a mountain of work, and later throw tantrums when criticized for lacking acting skills.
Conversely, others with poorer conditions and worse luck stubbornly insisted on coming in to learn rather than just dropping by to get gilded.
Even if it cost more money, even if it meant only being able to attend a one-year training program—such as the director of The Coffin in the Mountain mentioned previously.
However, Li Jingkun and Big Tiantian weren't that close yet, so many words weren't appropriate to say.
On the contrary, when he later bumped into Big Tiantian's three roommates a few times on campus, the other two couldn't help smiling when they saw him, while He Biyun glared fiercely at him. Still, there were no excessive interactions.
After a period passed, one day Zhao Tiantian messaged him to say the song had been recorded, and she wanted him to listen to it, hand over the money by the way, and sign the song copyright authorization contract, and so on.
"However, I'm not in Kyoto right now; I'm still filming. I'll have my manager, Sister Zhang, contact you."
Actually, Li Jingkun really didn't care about the money for this song, and 300,000 was indeed a bit much.
If he genuinely wanted to make money through music, he could simply sign with a record company and let them handle the promotion of his songs.
He simply didn't want to walk the path of a pure musician, nor did he want his focus divided; he preferred to concentrate on the film and television sector.
Writing a song for Zhao Tiantian was truly just an accident, and he certainly wouldn't be writing them frequently in the future.
