Lin Yuan had expected the readers' riot triggered by Bi Yao's death.
He was mentally prepared when he wrote this plot.
This is the turning point of the whole book. Zhang Xiaofan's personality changes drastically. He leaves Qingyun, joins the Ghost King Sect, and changes his name to the good-yet-evil Gui Li.
The subsequent main plot is the battle between good and evil.
In fact, it is also the process of resurrecting Baguio.
Although this process is doomed to fail.
However, Lin Yuan’s non-response is actually a kind of fulfillment.
Because responding is almost equivalent to a spoiler, at least he did not completely cut off the readers' thoughts.
This incident did not have any impact on Lin Yuan's life.
In the following days, he continued to train Xue Liang and carry out his task of teaching him.
On weekends, we go to work as usual.
On this day, when Lin Yuan came to the company again, Gu Qiangyu knocked on Lin Yuan's door again.
"Representative Lin."
After Gu Qiangyun entered the room, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Of the four orders that you didn't like before, we only negotiated one, which is the 700,000 order you have. The remaining three orders have not been negotiated."
"Why?"
Lin Yuan was a little confused.
He now has some understanding of the company's situation.
So he knew that for orders like this that the client took the initiative to approach him, the chances of being successful were generally very high.
Gu Qiangyun smiled bitterly and said, "Because the party A behind those three orders specifically asked Xianyu, that is, Lin, to take it on your behalf. If you don't take it, the party A will not look down on other composers in the company..."
Lin Yuan suddenly realized.
No wonder the system wants to teach apprentices by itself.
The predicament of Star Music will not change much because of my arrival.
Ultimately, it’s because the overall strength of the composition department of Star Music is not enough.
If we want to completely change this situation, some special measures are still needed.
"But fortunately, we managed to secure an order."
Gu Qiangyun said helplessly: "But this is the only order that was saved because I told the other party that Xue Liang is your apprentice, so they were willing to try to cooperate. So I was thinking that even if Xue Liang can't do this order, you have to help him. At that time, I will discuss with Xue Liang and let him share the order with you..."
Gu Qiangyun put it more tactfully.
His original intention was that Lin Yuan could give some guidance to Xue Kai in his creation.
If it's successful, the order will be Xue Kai's, but the money will be Lin Yuan's. This way, Xue Kai will have a work as a foundation, and it will be easier for him to get orders in the future.
"Need not."
Lin Yuan said: "Xue Liang is capable of completing this order."
Gu Qiangyun: “…”
Do you think too highly of Xue Liang
But Gu Qiangyun certainly didn't dare to say this, he could only ask cautiously: "What if it can't be completed?"
"I will take action."
Xue Liang is Lin Yuan's apprentice, so Lin Yuan must cover for his apprentice, but he really thinks Xue Liang can complete this order. Recently, Xue Kai has been learning from him and has made rapid progress.
"All right."
With Lin Yuan's words, Gu Qiangyun felt more at ease.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I have another potential order recently, and I think it would be better for me to tell you about it."
Lin Yuan looked up: "How much?"
Gu Qiangyun said: "It's also three million."
Lin Yuan thought he could take it, but seeing that Gu Qiangyun was in a difficult situation, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"How should I put it?"
Gu Qiangyun said carefully: "This is an order from Seven Star Entertainment. They want to tailor a song for their top singer Shui Yun. The bid is indeed three million, but this is a competitive order."
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Gu Qiangyun explained: "The so-called competitive order is that Party A seeks cooperation from several companies at the same time. Under the same standards, they will choose the song of whoever has the best song..."
"oh."
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay."
Gu Qiangyun nodded: "It is indeed possible to answer, but I don't think it is necessary."
Lin Yuan looked at Gu Qiangyun.
Gu Qiangyun analyzed: "Because this kind of competition order is often accepted by many music production companies at the same time, but there is only one party A, so even though they sign contracts with several companies, they will only choose one company to cooperate with in the end, and the other parties B will get nothing."
Lin Yuan commented: "Cast a wide net."
Gu Qiangyun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is a strategy of casting a wide net. Seven Star Entertainment is going to sign contracts with five parties at the same time for this competition. Five companies are competing for the job. If they don't choose our work in the end, then our hard work will be in vain. Even if the work is not bad, as long as it is not the best, the party A will only give us a symbolic reward of 100,000 yuan for hard work."
Lin Yuan said: "Then why don't we just take the order?"
Gu Qiangyun was at a loss for words when he heard this: "Of course, Representative Lin is a skilled and daring person. He is not afraid of wasting his efforts in the end. But the problem is that with so many companies competing, who can guarantee that their song will be favored by Party A? And you don't have the freedom to choose the singer this time, because the purpose of this order is to tailor a song for Shuiyun..."
"I know Shuiyun."
After Lin Yuan came to Qizhou, he also got to know the market. Shui Yun is a singer with a unique style. Lin Yuan has heard more than one of her works after coming to Qizhou.
It’s true that Lin Yuan likes to freely choose singers.
That's because he didn't know who would sing the song in advance, and he was afraid that the song would be ruined.
But if the order is clearly stated in advance for which singer, and the singer's level is also very good, then Lin Yuan can accept it.
Because he can find a song that suits the other person.
After all, a specific singer has become one of the customization requirements of Party A.
Anyway, just don't ruin the song.
"Representative Lin."
Gu Qiangyun said with a guilty conscience: "There is one last question about this list. I want to talk to you about it."
Lin Yuan asked: "What?"
Gu Qiangyun curled his lips and said, "Because the five parties selected by Seven Star Entertainment this time, except for our Xingmang Music, are all very strong. Two of them are well-known music production companies in the whole Qizhou. One is called Lone Wolf and the other is called Red Moon. Representative Lin may not know much about them. You just need to know that the strength of these two companies is enough to crush our Xingmang Music..."
To be honest.
Among the several partners chosen by Seven Star Entertainment this time, Star Music is actually one of them. Gu Qiangyun feels somewhat honored.
Although he knew that Qixing Entertainment was definitely targeting Xianyu.
But Gu Qiangyun really didn't want to take this kind of order.
Because Xianyu is the treasure of Star Music, his time in Qizhou is limited.
Why let Xianyu, Gulang and Hongyue fight head-on
They also have an ace composer!
However, Lin Yuan's thinking was very different from Gu Qiangyun's: "If we win this order and defeat Lone Wolf and Red Moon, will there be more orders for us to cooperate with in the future?"
Gu Qiangyun: “…”
That makes a lot of sense.
Who doesn't want to defeat Lone Wolf and Red Moon
But the problem is that we only have you to envy, while Lone Wolf and Red Moon companies have more than one ace composer!
Of course, he didn't dare to actually say this, as it would show that he had no confidence in Representative Lin.
But the opponents are Lone Wolf and Red Moon after all, so it is normal for Gu Qianyun to feel guilty.
Although there is no loss by not competing for this kind of order, Representative Lin’s time in Qizhou is really limited.
If this order fails, Representative Lin's time in Qizhou will be wasted, which is what Gu Qianyun does not want to see.
Representative Lin’s time is extremely precious to Star Music.
"Then let's give it a try." Lin Yuan said.
Seeing that Lin Yuan had an idea, Gu Qiangyu stopped persuading him.
Anyway, even if this order cannot be completed, there will be no loss, and you can even earn some hard work fee.
He said, "I can take the order, but Representative Lin must promise me one thing."
"What?"
Gu Qiangyun said, "If this order is difficult to do, there is no need to work hard on it. It would be a waste of time. Let's just take this order as a chance. It would be great if Party A takes a fancy to it, but it doesn't matter if we can't complete it. Representative Lin just needs to take other orders as soon as possible."
"OK."
Lin Yuan had no objection.
He won't stick to any orders because he has too much money to burn.
He had no intention of underestimating the heroes of the world, especially after he used Yang Zhongming's character card.
