"So you're hiding here."
A voice rang in Lin Yuan's ears, and then a handsome and fair face blocked the bright starry sky in front of him.
"simple."
Lin Yuan subconsciously called out the other person's name.
This handsome, slender boy was Lin Yuan's elementary school, middle school, and university classmate.
A true best friend.
And now, this best friend has reached out and pulled Lin Yuan up from the ground.
Then Lin Yuan felt a weight on his shoulders and a women's coat was put on him.
He turned around and saw a beautiful smiling face.
This is a girl with long hair draped over her shoulders, a little makeup on, and a beautiful face.
"Xia Fan."
Just like he couldn't help himself when he saw Jian Yi, Lin Yuan also called out the other person's name.
Because this girl named Xia Fan, like Jian Yi, was Lin Yuan’s elementary school classmate, junior high school classmate, and university classmate—
Another best friend.
"It's windy at night, remember to put on your coat before going out."
Xia Fan reminded Lin Yuan that even though she, Jian Yi, and everyone else running on the playground were only wearing short-sleeved shirts that were in line with summer clothing styles.
"good."
Lin Yuan spoke.
As a result, after just one sentence, Jian Yi and Xia Fan stared at him at the same time, with a hint of suspicion in their eyes.
"Why do I feel like something is wrong with you?"
The one who said this is Jianyi.
Although Xia Fan didn't say anything, her expression showed that she shared the same opinion as Jian Yi.
"Because I am no longer completely Lin Yuan."
Lin Yuan said with a smile, feeling that his statement was still relatively objective. Half of him belonged to the original owner—at least some of his emotions towards his family and friends, his body and hair, were the same as the original owner.
"Are you possessed by a ghost?"
Jianyi burst into laughter and didn't suspect anything.
Xia Fan's expression also inexplicably relaxed.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
This way he can feel at ease without having to explain.
Xia Fan and Jian Yi grew up with Lin Yuan, so they know Lin Yuan's situation inside and out.
Therefore, the two of them had been taking care of Lin Yuan, who was not in very good health, since he was a child.
Emotionally speaking, Lin Yuan didn't want to deceive the two of them, but he had to deceive them appropriately.
"Mr. Lin, let me speak objectively."
Jian Yi said seriously, "As for the so-called novelist, it is one of the top ten most desired professions voted for by young people on the Internet from all continents. In Qinzhou alone, there are countless people working hard for this goal. It is too difficult for you to stand out in this industry just by relying on a temporary hobby, so there is no need to doubt your life while standing on the lawn in the dark and windy night."
"Novelist..."
Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
There is a reason why the novel is briefly mentioned.
Because not long ago, the original owner had the idea of writing a novel, and he put it into action. He took a 100,000-word manuscript to participate in an online essay competition, trying to make his debut as a novelist.
This kind of essay contest is very lively.
Because once a novelist makes a successful debut, not only will the winner's work get a valuable chance to be published, but if the sales of the work reaches a certain standard, it can also be adapted into animation, film, television, or games.
This is what countless people who aspire to become novelists dream of!
Most importantly, it’s very profitable!
But unfortunately...
Precisely because this type of activity was too popular, and the original owner's talent for novel writing was mediocre, his entry was eliminated in the first round of judging.
Jianyi therefore concluded that he was standing alone in the playground blowing in the cold wind because he had failed the essay contest.
However…
Neither Lin Yuan nor the original owner actually cared about the outcome of this essay contest.
The original owner's choice to commit suicide had nothing to do with the failure of the essay contest. After all, he participated in the essay contest just for fun.
What if you make money
He did this with this mentality.
The original owner was a person who always wanted to graduate early and make money.
He always struggles with a sense of guilt towards his family.
He felt that his sister, his younger sister, and his mother had sacrificed too much for him, so he wanted to compensate them as much as he could.
Being a singer is not just a dream.
Moreover, this industry can make a lot of money!
Never say anything cruel like “dreams cannot be tarnished by money”.
For the original owner, if he could gain money by tarnishing his dream, he hoped that his dream would be corroded into pieces as soon as possible.
This way he could buy a beautiful dress for his sister.
Liberate your life for your sister.
Let mom no longer have to work so hard.
"Don't listen to the easy ones."
Xia Fan also thought that Lin Yuan was upset about his failure in the essay contest.
However, she did not persuade Lin Yuan to give up, but encouraged him to continue to persevere: "In fact, there are many similar opportunities. For example, next month, Silver Blue Books, a top-ranked publisher on Blue Star, will hold the 'Supernova' Novel Award. You can try to participate then."
"Please, Xia Fan."
Jian Yi held his forehead with his hand: "Lin Yuan can't even pass a shabby essay contest, and you want him to challenge the supernova?"
“Participation is what matters.”
Xia Fan said with a guilty conscience. Actually, she didn't expect Lin Yuan to succeed. She just simply hoped that Lin Yuan could find something for her to do. Ever since he had problems with his voice and transferred to the composition department, Lin Yuan's mentality has not been very good.
The simplicity is not as delicate as the summer prosperity.
He was explaining the basic situation to Lin Yuan with saliva flying all over his body: "Even someone like me who doesn't pay attention to the novel circle knows how terrifying the supernovas are. The contestants are basically old birds who have been working hard for many years to realize their dream of debuting. Occasionally, there will even be some authors who have debuted but are not doing so well. Anyway, for many people, once they change their pen names and open a vest, they are the so-called newcomers..."
To sum it up in one sentence: supernovas are fights between gods.
"I know. I know."
Lin Yuan interrupted Jian Yi with a smile, but secretly remembered the incident about the supernova.
In a world with a strong artistic atmosphere, there seem to be many channels to gain recognition.
But I don’t have any novels yet.
We have to wait for the system to provide it.
As for the song "Born Like Summer Flowers", Lin Yuan had to find a way to release it. He couldn't help but look at Xia Fan -
Xia Fan is a student of the vocal music department.
Before Lin Yuan changed his major, the two were classmates. In terms of professional ability, Xia Fan definitely had no problem. Her singing talent was almost as good as Lin Yuan's before he lost his voice.
But Xia Fan is just a student.
Do students have to release songs through online channels
The speed of gaining recognition is too slow. Without a certain amount of publicity, it is possible that this song will be forgotten.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Fan felt a little strange when she saw Lin Yuan staring at her: "What do you want to eat or drink? I'll buy it for you now."
"no."
Lin Yuan said: "I have a friend... um, a friend, he wrote a song and wants to release it, but he doesn't know how to do it. Do you have any channels to recommend?"
"Are you stupid?"
Jian Yi curled his lips and said, "Didn't you sell yourself for 50,000 yuan in the beginning? If you have any songs, of course you should look for Xingmang Entertainment, the company behind you. There's no need to waste such a big company."
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly understood.
After the original owner was admitted to Qinzhou Conservatory of Music, he showed amazing vocal talent, so he was spotted by an agent during his freshman year and signed with an entertainment company with good scale and reputation.
The signing fee is 50,000 yuan.
The original owner needed money so badly that even though he knew that the signing fee of 50,000 yuan was really cheap, he still signed the eight-year contract without hesitation, and he gave the signing fee to his mother right away!
But no one expected...
The young man with amazing vocal talent could no longer sing shortly after signing the contract.
When faced with something like this, the entertainment company that signed Lin Yuan could only consider themselves unlucky and let Lin Yuan do whatever he wanted from then on.
Perhaps knowing Lin Yuan's family situation, the company did not ask him for compensation or anything like that. They just never mentioned the termination of the contract. I guess they forgot that there was a person like Lin Yuan among the singers signed by the company.
“That’s not right.”
While Lin Yuan was thinking, Jian Yi suddenly came to his senses: "Mr. Lin, when did you have a friend that Xia Fan and I didn't know?"
"Friends are made out of nothing."
Xia Fan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then continued: "If you want to release a song, you have an opportunity right now, because in a few days it will be the annual new singer season, and then all major entertainment companies will make efforts, provided that you can meet the company's registration standards..."
"Understood."
Lin Yuan also smiled.
This is the artist’s utopia, an ideal country where culture and entertainment flourish!
As long as you have the ability, the red carpet on the road to fame is paved in an all-round way and extends to your doorstep!
New singer season.
This is one of the channels to fame, and this is also the rule that Blue Star has specially set up to cultivate musical talents:
Every November, various places on Blue Star will hold a Newcomer Season event!
At that time, the senior singers in the music industry will tacitly refrain from releasing albums or even singles and temporarily stop operating to leave some space for the younger singers.
There are even seniors who will take the initiative to vote for their promising newcomers in November.
Then, all major entertainment companies will seize this opportunity and go all out to promote new singers, and one batch of newcomers after another will try their best to stand out!
Originally, Lin Yuan had the opportunity to debut in the rookie season.
But unfortunately, now he can only strive to debut as a songwriter.
However, Lin Yuan is no longer the original owner after all, so being able to debut as a songwriter makes Lin Yuan happier.
Bluestar's profit-sharing model for newcomers in the music industry is:
The company will generally take 80% of the profits generated by song downloads or listening, and the remaining 20% will be shared between the singer and the songwriter. The fees for the arranger and producer are often settled by the company.
The specific ratio depends on what the contract says.
It is customary for singers and composers to take the lion's share.
Apart from the big share taken by the company, Lin Yuan didn't have to share the money with too many people. After all, he wrote the lyrics and music, and the arrangement effects were all ready-made by the system. Now all he needed was for the company to provide him with a channel to impact the rookie season, and someone who would share the money -
A tool who can sing.
