Chapter 12: Back to basics

Views:

The potential of the song "Born Like Summer Flowers" is higher than many people in the industry imagine.

In the following days, the number of downloads of this song increased steadily, and Shahai Culture no longer had any hope of a counterattack.

Xingmang Entertainment has completely locked up its blood.

However, precisely because the suspense of the Newcomer List has been lost, the discussion about Xianyu within Xingmang has gradually subsided.

Lin Yuan doesn't care about these things.

His favorite thing to do every day during this period is to check his reputation.

As the download volume of "Born Like Summer Flowers" increases, his current reputation has risen to 15,000!

However, it is still a long way from the one million reputation required by the system.

Lin Yuan knew that the reputation he gained from "Born Like Summer Flowers" would eventually reach saturation, and he had to find a suitable opportunity to come up with new works in order to continue to improve his reputation.

Twenty-first.

Another weekend is coming.

When Lin Yuan went to work in the composition department again, his colleagues in the department were able to treat him with a normal attitude.

Lao Zhou, the head of the composition department, also specially assigned a more mature colleague to guide Lin Yuan.

The reason why I say this colleague is mature is probably mainly because he doesn’t have a lot of hair. He looks like a veteran in the industry and is reliable.

This experienced colleague is called Wu Yong.

Wu Yong also has some good works under his name. Although his representative works are not as successful as "Born Like Summer Flowers", he is prolific enough and his quality can meet the company's standards.

In fact.

Seventy percent of the composers in the entire Xingmang composition department are of the same type as Wu Yong.

"Lin Yuan."

After Wu Yong was sent by Lao Zhou to help Lin Yuan, he greeted him, "We are all colleagues. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. You can call me Lao Wu or Brother Yong."

"Brother Yong, please give me more advice."

Of course, Lin Yuan could hear that when Wu Yong said the words "Brother Yong", he obviously suppressed his throat to squeeze out the stress, so he fulfilled Wu Yong's little wish -

In the workplace on Blue Star, etiquette between seniors and juniors is still very important.

Of course, if the difference in strength between seniors and juniors is too great, even being impolite will be viewed as personality, and this is the same everywhere.

"Sure, sure!"

Hearing Lin Yuan's address, Wu Yong's attitude became obviously much more enthusiastic.

Thanks to the popularity of "Born Like Summer Flowers", Lin Yuan, who just entered his sophomore year this year, can be regarded as a composer who became famous at a young age. However, most people who become famous at a young age have the problem of "being arrogant because of their talent".

Wu Yong was worried that Lin Yuan would be like this too.

But now it seems that Lin Yuan is not arrogant, he just speaks less, is a bit like a taciturn person, and his personality is also a bit introverted.

"By the way, you haven't joined the group yet."

Wu Yong smiled and said, "Give me your contact number, I'll add you and then pull you into the group. All the composers of Xingmang are in this group. The company's senior executives can't join. Besides, the atmosphere in our group is very good. Everyone will chat in the group when they have nothing to do. Occasionally, Qu Dad will pop up in the group. If you can get some guidance from Qu Dad, you will make a fortune."

Qudie is a very broad term.

To Sun Yaohuo, Lin Yuan is Qu Dad.

When faced with an excellent song, the audience also likes to call the composer "Qu Dad", but in fact, this is just a compliment.

Look at the entire field of composition.

Lin Yuan’s current achievements are far from reaching the level of “Qu Dad”. The real Qu Dad is a super bull who is admired by the entire industry!

There are only a few experts of this level even in Star Entertainment.

Wu Yong added Lin Yuan’s contact number, and then pulled Lin Yuan into a large composition group called “Xingmang”.

System prompt: "Lin Yuan joins the group chat."

The number of people in this group far exceeded Lin Yuan’s expectations. Including Lin Yuan, there were 953 people!

He seemed to see Lin Yuan's doubts.

Wu Yong smiled and said, "These thousands of people are all the company's composers. The Xingmang Building has fifty floors in total, from the tenth floor to the twentieth floor, all of which are the territory of our composition department. What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg. I'll take you around when I have time."

"Um."

Lin Yuan thought about it and felt relieved. He was too presumptuous and subconsciously judged based on his experience on Earth.

This is not Earth.

Qinzhou is the music capital of one of the eight continents of Blue Star, and Xingmang is one of the three major entertainment companies in this music capital. It would be strange if the composition department did not have thousands of composers. Moreover, composition is not just about writing songs. Composition in the true sense includes many categories.

"Hey, why is no one talking?"

Wu Yong discovered that after Lin Yuan entered the large group, only a few people in the group sent messages saying “Welcome newcomer”.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

He just said that the atmosphere in the group was good, but when new people joined the group, few people came out to welcome them.

After thinking for a while, Wu Yong said, "Change the note to envious fish."

Lin Yuan heard and did as he was told.

As a result, as soon as he changed the note, the group chat suddenly became lively, as if the silence just now did not exist—

"Is it Xianyu himself?"

"The song 'Living Like Summer Flowers'?"

"Welcome newcomers, welcome, welcome!"

"Oh wow! Welcome to join the group!"

"Oh, it's Xianyu, welcome!"

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

In order to show friendliness, some people even sent a big red envelope with the words "Welcome Xianyu" on it, which was worth a full two hundred yuan!

"A bunch of bastards who only care about what they eat."

Cursing inwardly, Wu Yong coughed and said, "I'm right, right? The atmosphere of this group... is really good."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He also thought it was good.

At this time, a person named Zheng Jing in the group suddenly tagged Lin Yuan's ID and said, "Xianyu, I listened to "Born Like Summer Flowers", it's very good."

"Dad Qu, Dad Qu!"

"Wow, hello Sister Jing!"

"Little Leo respectfully welcomes Sister Jing!"

"I actually saw Father Qu pop up today. Woohoo, I'm so lucky. Sister Jing is so awesome!"

"Watching Sister Jing in the front row!"

"Sister Jing actually popped up!"

"I'm here to get some of Sister Jing's aura!"

As soon as Zheng Jing showed up, the atmosphere in the group could no longer be described as lively, but boiling!

“Fuck!

Even Wu Yong couldn't help cursing, his hands shaking with excitement: "Hello Sister Jing, long live Father Qu!"

Lin Yuan's heart moved.

The original owner also had a person named Zheng Jing in his memory. He was indeed a great composer. He was one of the top composers in Xingmang and even in the entire Qinzhou.

Not only men can be called Qu Dad.

A top female songwriter, also known as Qu Die.

Maybe the name "Qu Ma" doesn't sound pleasant enough

And there are even some songs written by Zheng Jing that the original owner can sing.

So Lin Yuan asked Wu Yong: "Is Zheng Jing the composer of "Red"

"It's her, that's her!"

Wu Yong was so excited that his face flushed. "'Red' is just one of her representative works. There are also 'Blue' and 'White'! Five years ago, Zheng Jing's color trilogy directly made a superstar singer. Before singing Sister Hong's songs, that singer almost fell into the bar! So Sister Hong is considered a legendary song in our industry. This is the first time I see her pop up! You actually got her praise. I don't know how many people in the group are crying with envy!"

"It's her indeed."

Lin Yuan nodded, tagged Zheng Jing, and replied: "Thank you, your work is also good."

"… "

The group fell silent for a moment.

Wu Yong's excitement froze on his face, and his expression was almost distorted. He looked at Lin Yuan with a dull look.

Your work is good too

This is... a compliment, right

That's a compliment...right

But why... I always feel like something is wrong... What exactly is wrong...

Ahhh!

That’s definitely not right!

This is Zheng Jing!

A real dad of Qu!

When Mr. Qu in the industry praises you so much, how can you just say “your work is not bad” so lightly

Father Qu is here!

Shouldn't you now be worshipping Sister Jing and feeling extremely awed, just like us

What are you talking about in the end

Is this human language you're talking about

Wu Yong lost his voice, but he was roaring in his heart. He could swear to heaven that the other people in the group definitely had the same idea as him!

I thought Lin Yuan was not the kind of young genius who was arrogant because of his talent!

How can this not be arrogant

This is clearly a kind of arrogance that has reached its extreme, arrogance to the point of being "silently nourishing things", almost returning to nature!

but.

Although the group had gone quiet, Zheng Jing didn't think anything was wrong and once again tagged Lin Yuan, "Looking forward to your new song."

Lin Yuan replied: “Yes.”

At this moment, the group became increasingly quiet.

Wu Yong didn't even know how to describe Lin Yuan in front of him.

You might say he is impolite, but his expression while typing was very serious, revealing a sense of respect for his senior boss.

This cannot be faked. Even through the screen, only you who are next to you can see it.

But you say he is polite...

He looked at the words he had typed out. What kind of vicious words were these?!

Do you know who you are talking to

He scratched his hair until several strands of his hair, which were already few in number, were broken.

While Wu Yong felt distressed, he finally understood the root of the problem.

The conversation between Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing seemed like the communication mode of a figure like Qu's father.

Lin Yuan's tone was so calm, so calm that he seemed like Qu's father who could stand on equal footing with Zheng Jing!

But the thing is…

Compared with Zheng Jing, where are you

What’s even more confusing is that Zheng Jing wasn’t even angry.

It seemed that in her eyes, Lin Yuan’s way of speaking… was fine
