Chapter 14: Iron fool

Views:

Damn, this young man!

Facing Lin Yuan's initiative, Lao Zhou's eyes were as strange as everyone else's. He opened his mouth slightly and forgot to respond for a moment. Only his brain was still working instinctively.

Was he just counting money

He only plans to give the singer 0.5 points

Famous singers definitely don’t get this share ratio, 0.5 of 20% is a typical tool price. Generally, only small singers or newcomers who have just debuted are willing to accept such a low share of the song…

No, no!

What the hell am I thinking about

Lao Zhou tried hard to control his wandering thoughts and the slightly twitching corners of his mouth.

He coughed lightly and chose his words carefully: "Well, it's a good thing for young people to be motivated, but our order is not something that ordinary newcomers can handle. Of course, Lin Yuan, you are not an ordinary newcomer either, but we still need to brainstorm. So, you send me the sample within one month, and everyone else should do the same. Everyone must hand in a sample."

We cannot discourage Lin Yuan’s enthusiasm.

When everyone was wailing, Lin Yuan still took the initiative to step forward and take on the very difficult task of the composition department. This is an act worthy of encouragement, so Lao Zhou couldn't say anything critical.

As for the conversation between Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing in the group today, Lao Zhou naturally knew about it, but he would not blame Lin Yuan for it.

Because Lao Zhou is very familiar with several Qu dads in the company.

Every character like Qu Dad has a very strange personality.

For example, Zheng Jing, that woman, is obviously a composer, but she doesn't compose music on weekdays. Instead, she is crazy about painting and even held a personal painting exhibition at her own expense.

It seems like composing music is just her side job.

Although Lin Yuan is not Qu Dad, based on the personality he has shown so far, he is no different from those Qu Dads.

So Lao Zhou is not surprised anymore.

But is it because of his creative passion or the incentive of five million that this newcomer, who doesn't play by the rules and has a personality similar to many other artists, is being so active

It's suspicious no matter how you think about it.

Of course, although composing music is an art, most people ultimately work for money, and there is nothing wrong with that.

but.

This was probably the first time in the history of the Star Composition Department that Lin Yuan took out a calculator to calculate the share during a meeting.

Not only Lao Zhou.

Everyone in the conference room had a lot to complain about at the moment, but they didn't know where to start.

Especially Wu Yong and Zheng Han, who were standing on Lin Yuan’s left and right, were completely confused.

Considering the way Lin Yuan and Zheng Jing chatted in the group today, everyone finally came to a conclusion:

The genius boy is envious

This is a tough idiot.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Yuan seems to have become more adorable

At least, he's real.

When everyone thought of this, they gradually laughed, and the atmosphere in the conference room gradually relaxed. Someone even teased Lin Yuan: "Don't forget to buy everyone coffee after you get the bonus!"

"good."

Lin Yuan agreed and seemed to have already started thinking about how to spend the bonus.

Everyone laughed even more happily.

There was no intention of mocking them. On the contrary, everyone's laughter was more kind, especially some female members, whose faces were full of tenderness.

Who made Lin Yuan just a sophomore

And he's such a good-looking boy.

However, playing is playing, and making noise is making noise.

No one thought that Lin Yuan could really get this order.

How could Lin Yuan, a newcomer who was still studying basic courses in his sophomore year, get a job that many ace arrangers in the arrangement department failed to get

Stop joking.

In this conference room, no composer would deny the excellence of "Born Like Summer Flowers".

But each of the more than a dozen ace composers whose songs were rejected by the arrangement department has more than one good song to their name.

Moreover, among the representative works in their resumes, any one of them is no worse than "Born Like Summer Flowers"!

Otherwise, how can he be called the company's ace

Lin Yuan naturally didn't know what everyone was thinking. His mind was now full of the five million, although he could only get 1.5% of the five million.

After the meeting.

Lin Yuan did not leave immediately, but asked Lao Zhou who was packing up: "Manager, where can I find a singer?"

"singer?"

Old Zhou frowned and said, "You want to take Qizhou's order, don't you? Then your first priority is to write songs. Only when you write good songs can you find singers. If the songs you write are not up to standard, then what's the point of looking for singers now?"

Lao Zhou didn't have any hope that Lin Yuan could write a good song.

But he hoped that Lin Yuan could understand the basic order of creation.

After all, he had expectations for Lin Yuan, because Lin Yuan was able to write "Born Like Summer Flowers", which showed that he had a lot of room for growth in terms of talent. Otherwise, why would he bother to ask Zhao Jue for people.

"So after I write a song, how do I find a singer?"

Lin Yuan could only settle for the second best. He couldn't say that he had already written the song, right

That's a bit too suspicious.

Lao Zhou pondered and said, "If you want to work with a singer, you usually have to contact the artist department and fill out a form. If you want to find one of the company's top singers, you must apply some time in advance, and then I will personally communicate with them..."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Old Zhou seemed to have remembered something, and slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about your relationship with Zhao Jue. It doesn't matter if the order is not approved. If you really want to release a song, just go to Zhao Jue. All the singers in the company are under her management. Of course, the premise is that your song has passed the company's review and is worth releasing!"

"oh."

Lin Yuan nodded.

After leaving the meeting room, he returned to his seat and called Zhao Jue directly to inquire about finding a singer.

"Looking for a singer?"

Zhao Jue smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so productive. You have new works so soon? Okay, tell me, what kind of singer are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for..."

Zhao Jue interrupted Lin Yuan: "Forget it, I'll send you the information and audio of some new singers in the company who have been out of work recently. With your understanding of voice, you should be able to find the person you need. After you find the person, leave the rest to me. As for the first-line singers..."

“What happened to the first-tier singers?”

“First-tier singers have very high requirements for songs.”

"How high?"

"Let me put it this way. Unless the song you write can reach the level of 'Born Like Summer Flowers', they basically won't consider it. Generally speaking, first-tier singers will ask the company's ace composers to write songs for them. After all, they are first-tier singers, and their share of the profits is not comparable to that of second-tier and lower-tier singers."

Lin Yuan looked alert: "Share?"

Zhao Jue smiled and said, "You don't think that all singers only get 0.5% of the 20% profit, do you? This is the price for small singers. The share of singers with high salaries will also increase, almost equal to the share of the composer, and the share of top singers can even account for 1.5% of the 20%, and the remaining 0.5% belongs to the composer."

"I want a tool!"

Lin Yuan's thoughts suddenly became clear.

Zhao Jue laughed dumbly: "You have really been led astray by those people in the composition department. I don't know who first called those second-tier and below singers in our artist department tools. It's really vivid. But I want to remind you that some songs are not easy for small singers to handle. If you grow up in the future, you can't stop working with big-name singers just because of the profit share."

"OK."

Lin Yuan said: "Thank you, Sister Zhao."

Zhao Jue said, "No thanks, I'm hanging up now."

A few minutes later, Lin Yuan's mailbox received a large amount of audio, including information and audio of 106 people.

Get to work.

Lin Yuan put on his headphones and listened to the singing of the 106 people in the audio one by one.

Different from "Born Like Summer Flowers".

The song "Big Fish" that Lin Yuan is going to release this time is not something that can be sung well by just anyone.

Anyway, Sun Yaohuo definitely won’t work.

After all, not everyone is called Zhou Shen.

Lin Yuan was not sure that he could find such a good voice right away, so he had to look for candidates in advance.

If he really can't find it, he has a compromise solution.

That is to find a female singer with a similar vocal range to the original singer, and add some technical means to make up for it.
