The Journey to Godhood in Another World

Chapter 193: A Smile That Allures the City

I always tell you my wishes in a very understated way.

"And I'll give you a gaze that a thousand words cannot express."

As the gentle singing began, director Li Ming's thoughts were instantly drawn into a world brimming with youthful energy.

He seemed to see the male and female protagonists in the play walking side by side on the tree-lined path on campus, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows, whispering their dreams and secrets to each other.

Those casual words held a yearning for the future, and his affectionate gaze was filled with boundless tenderness. He closed his eyes slightly, immersed in this beautiful scene, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up in a smile.

There are always people in this world busy searching for treasure.

But it has ruined the bright future of this world.

"And also missed all the wonders of life."

Upon hearing these lyrics, director Li Ming felt a surge of emotion. He thought about how people in real life are always busy chasing after fame and fortune, often neglecting the beautiful moments around them.

This TV series aims to showcase the purity and beauty of youth, allowing viewers to rediscover a forgotten warmth within the story. He nodded slightly, deeply agreeing with the meaning of the lyrics.

On the long bridge in the ancient city,

People like the sea, cars like a river

Your smile is like a ray of light.

Suddenly it illuminated me.

At this moment, director Li Ming envisioned the scene where the male and female protagonists meet in the ancient city. Ancient city walls, a long stone bridge, bustling crowds—the male protagonist turns around by chance and sees the female protagonist's radiant smile. At that moment, the whole world seems to lose its color, leaving only her smile like a ray of light illuminating his heart.

He was deeply moved by the scene, as if he were in that romantic setting himself.

"A gentle breeze stirs the air as summer draws to a close."

The sound of bicycles on the tree-lined road

So-called love,

"That's how it looks."

As the song continued, Director Li Ming seemed to be transported back to his youth. He imagined a summer with a gentle breeze, boys and girls riding bicycles along the tree-lined paths of the campus, sunlight streaming down their faces, outlining the contours of their youth.

Their laughter echoed in the air; their pure love, like the lyrics described, was simple and beautiful. A hint of nostalgia flickered in his eyes, a longing for those carefree days of youth.

"I admit that her smile is captivating and unforgettable."

I dare not accept such a claim of deep, unwavering affection.

Nothing is more romantic than watching the sunset side by side with you.

"Where my heart leads"

Hearing this, director Li Ming was deeply moved by the romantic emotions expressed in the lyrics. He thought of the love between the male and female protagonists in the play, which was not filled with earth-shattering vows, but rather with companionship and appreciation for every scene in life through ordinary interactions.

The scene of them watching the sunset side by side was so warm and romantic, exactly the kind of love he wanted to portray in the TV series. He couldn't help but admire Luo Li's creative talent; the song perfectly matched his vision for the TV series.

I want to travel the world with you and enjoy the scenery, whether it's sunny or rainy.

I want to lay out paper and pen with you and write the rest of our lives together.

Laughter and tears are shared, no matter how dramatic the plot.

"We won't break up."

As the song neared its end, director Li Ming was deeply moved. The lyrics expressed a steadfast commitment to love, a willingness to walk hand-in-hand with one another through thick and thin, sharing life's joys and sorrows, no matter what storms lie ahead.

He seemed to see the ending of a TV series, with the male and female protagonists holding hands and strolling in the sunset. The scene gradually froze, which was the most beautiful image of love.

As the song ended, Director Li Ming clapped excitedly: "Miss Luo Li, it's perfect! This song is simply tailor-made for our TV series! Every lyric and every melody perfectly interprets the youth and love I want."

Following this, Song Hui, with her excellent communication skills, skillfully revealed Luo Li's investment intentions. She clearly explained to Director Li Ming that Luo Li was full of confidence in the market potential of this drama and firmly believed that it would shine brightly in the film and television market.

At the same time, Song Hui emphasized Luo Li's extraordinary influence in the music field—her works are widely sung, and she has a large and loyal fan base, which can undoubtedly provide strong publicity for the TV series and greatly increase its exposure during the pre-heating and promotion stages.

Furthermore, Song Hui added that if Luo Li successfully invests, she will be responsible for all the music composition for the drama. From the theme song to the insert songs, every note will be imbued with Luo Li's unique style and deep emotions, adding an immersive emotional dimension to the storyline.

After listening, Director Li Ming's eyes flashed with surprise and anticipation, showing great interest in the suggestion.

He excitedly expressed his warm welcome to Luo Li's joining the project, believing that her combined investment and music creation would inject vitality into the TV series, attract more viewers, and make this youth romance drama stand out among numerous film and television dramas.

After several rounds of negotiations, Luo Li and the production team reached an investment agreement. Considering the potential of the drama, Luo Li decided to invest 30 million yuan upfront, accounting for 50% of the total investment.

Both parties agreed that if funding becomes insufficient during subsequent filming, Luo Li would invest additional funds as needed. In return, Luo Li would receive half of the final profits, demonstrating both her confidence in the drama's prospects and highlighting her important role in this collaboration.

Next, Song Hui began discussing the details of the contract with the director. With her rich experience and professional negotiation skills, she carefully reviewed each clause in the contract to ensure that Luo Li's rights were fully protected.

During the discussion, Song Hui explained the meaning and impact of each clause in detail, and Director Li Ming also actively offered his opinions and suggestions. After a thorough discussion, both parties finally reached an agreement and successfully signed the contract.

As filming of the TV series gradually unfolded, the theme song began to circulate among the crew. Everyone who heard it praised it highly; the actors would unconsciously hum it during breaks, and the staff were also infected by the melody, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

Everyone is looking forward to the day when this TV series will meet the audience, and hopes that this theme song will enter thousands of households as the TV series becomes popular, becoming a beautiful memory of youth and love in people's hearts.
