Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

When Liu Yuxi looked at the notice board, she naturally wouldn't look at the low-paying ones, but she would also pick and choose from the high-paying ones. It had to be something that could pique her interest.

Out of curiosity, she first checked the song collection tasks of the company's artists in the bulletin board. Sure enough, all the artists she had worked with had posted tasks there, only the rewards offered were different.

Skipping over those singers, Liu Yuxi started listening specifically to demos of songs by artists she had never collaborated with before. If any of their voices could evoke certain memories for her, then a collaboration would be possible!

After listening for a long time, Liu Yuxi still couldn't find any sounds that interested her. That's just how reality is; you can't just have whatever you want. She made a note of where she was in the list and planned to listen to the rest tomorrow.

She then turned her attention to high-demand client tasks, most of which required film and television scores. The production crews had money and weren't in a rush, so to ensure perfection, they would definitely commission large companies to complete the tasks.

The films and television dramas in this world are similar to those in one of Liu Yuxi's worlds in the early 20th century, just beginning to move from low-budget films to big productions, but still in the exploratory stage.

At this time, directors and actors had relatively high professional ethics and high requirements for film scores. Since money was spent, the work naturally had to meet those requirements.

Some directors, even after the film is fully edited, will rather postpone the release than not find suitable background music, than not find a song they like.

In a few years, this situation will probably be much less common.

Looking at the music requirements for various films and TV series on the bulletin board, Liu Yuxi noticed a movie depicting a family of Peking Opera performers sacrificing themselves for the cause during the War of Resistance against Japan.

Isn't this the story background of the song "Red-Haired Girl"? Looking at the date, this task was only posted a week ago, and the movie hasn't even started filming yet.

Why was it posted on the bulletin board so early? Because the director required that the song not only be related to traditional opera, but also have patriotic sentiments.

He knew this request was a bit demanding, so he offered a very high price, a full 300 million. Don't think it's a small amount; he only wanted the right to use the song.

It's worth noting that the songs Liu Yuxi initially wrote for film and television dramas only cost between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan each, and he also gave them plenty of time.

Because of the needs of the movie's plot, the main actors had to undergo three months of opera training. Adding the time for filming, post-production editing, and music scoring, it all adds up to almost a year.

Judging from the director's attitude, he will probably wait if there are still no suitable songs by then.

Moreover, although he has now handed the song over to Sihai Entertainment, it doesn't mean he can't receive songs from other entertainment companies. If Sihai Entertainment still doesn't have a suitable song as the deadline approaches, he will definitely cast a wide net.

Unfortunately, she had songs but no suitable singers. It wasn't that female artists in the company couldn't sing them, but rather that she originally planned to give all the opera-style songs to one person to sing.

If we give some of these songs to the company's female artists in advance, we'll have fewer songs later. Anyway, there's no rush, so let's wait and see. If we find a suitable person after the variety show is filmed, that would be great. If not, we can find a female artist from the company to sing them later.

Keeping this in mind, Liu Yuxi started browsing other tasks. After a while, she found none that interested her, so she gave up. Oh well, she'd deal with it after the variety show was finished filming.

Throughout March, besides recording songs for Zhang Qianqian and Zhao Lei, Liu Yuxi spent her time at the community's senior activity center.

She also likes to play mahjong. Although the families in the neighborhood are all well-off, these old ladies only play mahjong for 5 yuan a game. "A little gambling is fun, but too much gambling is harmful to your health!"

Even though the stakes aren't high, sometimes when some old ladies get really upset about losing, they can say some unpleasant things. They all came from hard times, and most of them are still quite stingy.

People say, "A person's gambling style reveals their character!" After all, everyone's character is different. After more than half a month of getting to know him, Liu Yuxi only started gambling with people of good character.

Losing money and getting angry is fine, but we're all getting on in years, and if we get any more upset, who knows how much worse it could get? It's much easier to be around people with stable emotions.

Among them were the same people she had watched the game on the first day. Through spending more than half a month with them, she learned about their backgrounds.

The woman with the full head of snow-white hair is named Wang Shufen. When she's with them, her personality is like dough; no matter how others criticize her, she never gets angry.

But things changed once she got home, probably because her husband had passed away early. It wasn't easy for her to raise her son alone in those days.

She has to work, and her parents can't offer much help, so she's a bit stricter with her son. Because he comes from a single-parent family, he's quite sensible and usually very obedient.

As for how her family bought a house in this community, it can only be said that the mother and son were lucky to be born at the right time. Her family used to live in a courtyard house with one entrance along the street inside the Third Ring Road. The house and the yard were about 150 square meters.

In 2000, we were involved in a demolition and relocation project. According to the demolition compensation at the time, my family received three apartments of more than 90 square meters each outside the Fourth Ring Road, as well as more than 200 million yuan in demolition compensation.

At that time, she worked and her son went to school within the Third Ring Road, and the apartment she was allocated was too far away. She had some money and was planning to buy another apartment near the Third Ring Road.

Furthermore, since the mother and daughter lived in a detached house, and being a widow and orphan, they really didn't want to deal with complicated neighborly relations. Coincidentally, a family nearby, who were not in the demolition area, were preparing to sell their self-built house because their business had run out of funds.

Although the landlord was also afraid that the house would be demolished in the future, there was nothing he could do. If the business failed, the family would be burdened with a large debt, and they would still lose the house.

So the two parties still traded the house at 30% above the market price. Wang Shufen also had some of the shrewdness of a small-town citizen. Anyway, she was definitely going to buy the house. Finding a suitable house would take time, and what if the house was demolished in the future? After all, the house was within the Third Ring Road and not far from her home.

Coincidentally, the house was demolished after only two years of living there. This house was a two-story building with four rooms on each floor and a small yard of about 200 square meters.

This demolition resulted in even more houses being allocated; five more were allocated outside the Fourth Ring Road, along with 500 million yuan in compensation.

Having tasted the benefits, Wang Shufen used the demolition compensation to buy four more apartments nearby, since the rental income from those apartments alone was enough for her and her son.

This time, there were no detached houses or courtyards; everyone bought commercial housing outside the Third Ring Road. Although there were no more demolitions or relocations afterward, the housing prices doubled and skyrocketed.
