Ian stretched when he woke up, but his hand felt someone nearby. In fact, he punched the man next to him who was completely covered by the sheets. He jumped back a bit, then got closer, hearing a slight snoring.

Pulling the sheet, it came off, revealing a blonde who looked more messy than ever. Her lipstick was everywhere, and her eyeliner and makeup didn't fit in. However, she seems calm in her sleep. No matter how messy the makeup is, her facial features are still beautiful. Long eyelashes, plump lips, and a small nose look perfect on her little face.

He came back to his senses, looked around, and realized that he was not in his mansion. Instead, it looks like a hostel, it does. Without trying to make any noise, Ian got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

A slight headache had bothered him in the shower for several minutes, but his mind flashed back to the events of last night. The pretty blonde successfully seduces Ian, and they come here. After Ian reveals who he is, she gets very excited and tries harder to sleep with him.

The picture is blurry, but Ian doesn't want to get drunk yesterday lest John get worse. So he was not completely depleted, and a little bit of sanity was left for the night. That is why he remembers certain events. For example, how he helped John's driver get him home. It was completely chaotic and rushed.

After taking a shower, he walked to the room and saw the blonde sitting cross-legged on the bed, but the sheets covered her naked body.

"Are you ready to go?" She asked in a hoarse voice. It sounds comfortable, Ian thought. He turned to look at her.

"I have a place where I should be there in a few minutes." He smiled at her as he spoke, picking up clothes from the floor he had placed in different places.

"I can't believe I slept with Ian Renner! It's really... It's amazing," she says with a laugh.

Ian approached her, kissed her forehead, and whispered, "Last night was wonderful. "

You're drunk, totally drunk," she said with a laugh, but her eyes were fixed on him.

"Haha... I know, but I'm sure it's wonderful, go home safely. He said as he quickly began to dress up. Saying goodbye to her, he didn't waste a second, and went to his house to get new clothes.

[Reina's studio]

"A lady who claims to be an architect has arrived," Mason's assistant told him.

"Please send her in." He said as he got up.

A girl in her twenties walked in with a bag hanging from her left shoulder. She has long, hip-length brown hair and a polite smile on her face and looks attractive.

"Please come in." Mason was polite and invited her in.

"Good morning, thank you for letting me here,

" "You must be Miss Madison, right?" He asked, and she sat down in front of him.

The office where Mason works doesn't have much room for more than five people. It is a rectangular room with small airy windows, a wooden L-shaped desk, and several cabinets that take up some space in the office.

"Call me Madison

," "Easy to find your way here, right?" He asked.

"Oh... Yes, GPS helped a lot. Here's a portfolio of my work, see if they meet your standards," she says confidently.

"I've seen it on the website I've contacted, but I wanted to ask you if you have any signature styles when you were making your designs?"

"No, I am specially designed according to the customer's requirements, I can finish the negotiation today, and I can send the original in two days."

She looked at him and said.

She's a professional.

"Hmm... Will you do our design? Mason asked.

"Yes, I am a sole proprietor. I do all the designs that I negotiate. She laughs. Mason nodded in understanding.

"Well... So...... Can I know what project management services you offer... In addition to design and blueprints?

"Yes, sir. So, I'm going to manage the project, help you hire contractors, check in on their work as it goes, make design adjustments as the work progresses, review invoices to make sure payments are never ahead of work, um... Get the necessary lien waivers from all contractors so that no one can make a claim against your property later. "

Hmm... Well, it looks like I made the right choice.

As soon as she finished speaking, she smiled, knowing that she could impress him. Client recognition is the bare minimum she can strive for.

"Yes, we won't let you down, and we can provide 3D drawings."

"Oh, that's great. Well...... I think you're going to do it perfectly. The reviews are also very good. What about payment details?

"Oh, yes. I would charge 15% of the total cost of the project. It's going to be after we've paid for the whole project, you know... To make a measurement, we have to invest the time, and everything. To do this, we have to schedule another meeting with the contractor, or tomorrow?

"Okay, of course." Mason replied with a nod.

Ian went straight to the music studio he booked yesterday and was ready to do something that would make him appear more valuable to the public when La La Land was released. But at the moment, he was a little nervous about what he was going to do.

After entering the door, he asked the young lady at the front desk if he wanted a piano and guitar, and after making sure that there were, he walked in.

Sitting at the piano, Ian tried to recite chords from his vivid memory.

"City of Stars" is the most influential song that won more love for the movie "La La Land".

In the film, the song is first sung by the male protagonist alone, playing the role of jazz pianist Sebastian singing and dancing on the pier of Hermosa Beach. Later in the film, Sebastian and Mia repeat this in a montage where he prepares to tour with Keith's band, as well as Mia quitting her job at a coffee shop and renting a theater to perform her solo female show.

"City of Stars" appears about halfway through the film and is used to establish a connection between the film's main characters. The narrative of La La Land depends on whether its lovers choose each other over their own ambitions. This central question — whether frenetic romance can be reconciled with the individualistic drive needed to succeed in Hollywood — runs through the lyrics of City of Stars.

That's why Ian wanted to write his own songs as much as possible. The movie doesn't have an original vocal, jazz is nothing. And since it's an original, he doesn't want the theme song and the song of La La Land to be covered by someone like him who doesn't understand the depth of the movie.

While trying to put up with the notes he heard and saw in the library, he kept thinking about why the song was so appropriate for the film.

In fact, "City of Stars" is the most crucial song in the film. It interweaves the themes of love and dreaming so perfectly. It's beautiful, eerie, and unforgettable. It starts with four notes on the piano.

Ian finds the song interesting in that it's just four notes, probably used thousands of times in thousands of songs, but never in this way. The arrangement of these notes in "City of Stars" captures the feeling of La La Land in an indescribable way. You really just have to listen. Four notes are slightly tweaked to simple yet powerful lyrics that capture the story in just a few words.

"City of Stars, do you shine just for me, City of Stars, there are so many things that I can't see. Who knows, is this the beginning of something beautiful new, or yet another... Dreams that I couldn't achieve.

Ian hums the lyrics and tries to compose the song, but he realizes that the music and lyrics in "La La Land" condense the musical of "La La Land".

After trying enough piano attempts, he switched to guitar. At first, since he hadn't played a guitar for almost four years, it was difficult to touch the strings. But after applying more pressure and getting the perfect tune for his ears, he began to reminisce about the days when he played guitar as a hobby in college.

In retrospect, he smiled and began to play "City of Stars" again. He kept trying for hours, and he knew that with the help of someone he knew, he could finish the song in a week.
