Chapter 106: Chapter 107: Casting Song_1
After recording the complete music notation, Qiao Xiaren deliberated and added “Song of the Great Wind”, “Power Over the World”, and “Song of the White Head”. “Song of the White Head” seemed to fit the plot and vibe of “Lanling List” quite well.
These three songs were once very popular ancient-style songs, filled with rich and delicate emotions. Their beautifully fresh lyrics can easily stir people’s emotions. Classics are called classics because they endure over time.
At that moment, Qiao Xiaren had no inkling of the storm these songs were about to ignite in the entertainment industry.
Having finalised these three songs, she recorded them in full notation, compiled them together, and noted down her contact details and name.
Pushing the pages of music to one side, Qiao Xiaren followed the address left on the web page and faxed the songs over.
Glancing up at the wall, the clock was already showing six in the evening.
Yawning contentedly, Qiao Xiaren lazily made her way to the bathroom to take a shower.
In the past few days, the man responsible for the backend production and editing of “Lanling List”, Prince, was nearly driven insane by the search for the perfect theme song and final credits song.
This show had massive investment, with continuous capital pouring in from seven entertainment companies – the largest contributor being SGS, a behemoth based in the Capital.
Given its rigorous production and effort, it’s not hard to imagine the pressure and anticipation from both inside and outside the industry. To ensure perfection, the producers had gone all in, inviting the powerhouse diva Xu Jingjing to sing the theme song.
The show had just finished filming and had already garnered high anticipation from professional critics. In fact, in its previous iteration, “Lanling List” quickly attained a large fan base after its release, even managing to win over discerning audiences who acclaimed it as a heart-winning drama.
In a time overrun by trashy dramas and various third-rate web series, we were in desperate need for such a salvation to rescue the domestic market. And then, “Lanling List” made its entrance.

As the proverb goes, one rotten apple spoils the barrel. “Lanling List” was almost perfect in all other aspects, but if the theme song ruined it, it would be a complete disaster!
The key issue was that Xu Tianhou was very picky. She had high standards and, if the song lyrics did not meet her expectations, she would ruthlessly reject them.
The problem was that the show was set to broadcast in half a month, and they still hadn’t settled on a theme or end credit song!
The thought of this made Prince want to rip his hair out, his heart was burdened with bitterness.
Fortunately, the producer gave him an idea to issue a song solicitation notice in the ancient style music circle, widely soliciting public submissions.
Regrettably, the submissions coming in were worse than the last, some were just submitted to mess around. A week had already passed and they still had nothing for the theme song. Prince was in a state of disappointment ——
He had just been berated by the director and producer. Even Jingjing was furious, declaring the recently selected songs garbage and refusing to sing them!
Prince’s head throbbed even more ——
Would he still have a way out if this diva stormed off?
“Mr. Wang, we have received another submission from an internet user. Would you like to take a look?”
The music producer saw the document coming through the fax machine, quickly organized it, and then turned to hand it to Prince.
Prince had long given up any hope; thinking if today they still couldn’t find a suitable song, they would have to shut down the submissions and find another way.
“Let’s have a look.” Prince massaged his fatigued eyebrows, lightly tapping the screen with his fingers, “this is the last one. If this doesn’t work, we have to find another way.”
