Class groups are just the tip of the iceberg.
Compared to a small class group, the Qinzhou Art College's campus forum is more lively at the moment—
"The newcomer season has officially begun. Everyone, go support senior Sun Yaohuo's new song, the song is called "Born Like Summer Flowers". Below are links to the song on major music listening apps."
“This song is unexpectedly good.”
"Those who are studying music arrangement should also come and support the senior. By the way, the senior is lucky. The arrangement of this song is quite profound."
"Both the arrangement and the composition are done by the same person called 'Xianyu'. This guy is truly worthy of the title of composer."
"The Composition Department downloaded this to support Senior Sun Yaohuo. PS: I'm not trying to flatter our Composition Department, this song was made famous by Qu Die."
“I look forward to the list opening at 12 noon tomorrow. I wonder how high “Born Like Summer Flowers” will rank.”
"Don't worry, given the quality of this song, it won't rank badly."
"Who is this Xianyu? I've never heard of him before."
"Company: What are the requirements for singers? Qu's father: Just a good mouth is enough."
"A fellow vocal music student said that he didn't mind being a tool at all. He just wanted to perform like crazy under Qu Dad's crotch."
"A bunch of night owls, why are you still not sleeping so late?"
"The night is coming, and I will watch from now on until I die. This night, and all the nights to come."
"Night, you bastard, if you don't go to sleep, you'll die suddenly."
"… "
Every November, the rookie season is a feast for music students.
It would be even more perfect if there happened to be seniors from the school sitting at the table at this feast.
For this reason, many alumni didn't even listen to the song, but just downloaded "Born Like Summer Flowers" without thinking, just because Sun Yaohuo was a graduate of Qinyi.
…
The next day at half past seven.
After Lin Yuan got up and washed, he had breakfast in the cafeteria and then walked to the classroom at a leisurely pace.
The first class hasn't started yet.
Lin Yuan has already started reading.
However, the atmosphere this morning seemed different from usual. The students around me did not play with their mobile phones quietly as usual, but were chattering about something.
Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
Because these directly affected Lin Yuan's reading efficiency.
Of course, as the conversations among these students deepened, the contents of their discussions inevitably found their way into Lin Yuan's ears.
“Have you listened to “Living Like Summer Flowers”?”
The person who asked this question was sitting in the back row behind Lin Yuan.
"Of course I listened to it. For this rookie season, I stayed up until 2 a.m. last night. After listening to the song, I downloaded it and saved it. Now this song is very popular on the campus forum." A little girl was feeling sorry for her dark circles under her eyes.
"The song is really good, and the composition is of a very high standard. It deserves the title of "Daddy of Music" from the outside world."
A boy wearing glasses is proud of it.
"Wake up, not every songwriter deserves the praise of Qu Die. For example, with your level, even if you give it to new singers, they won't be willing to accept it."
"The style of this song is not really to my liking, but I admit that the composition of this song is very good."
"Nonsense, how can an electronic music lover like you get used to folk music?"
"… "
It turned out to be a discussion about "Born Like Summer Flowers".
Judging from everyone’s discussion, it seems that the song has received quite good response
Lin Yuan's brows gradually relaxed, and he immediately forgave the people around him for interrupting his studies.
The girl just now said that she downloaded a song, and each song was worth one dollar. The company took 80 cents, the tool took 5 cents, and she could only get 15 cents in the end.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the little girl who contributed 1.5 cents to him had big panda eyes but a pretty face.
…
As the first day of the rookie season, November 1st is destined to be a special day.
This day.
Generally speaking, all entertainment companies in Qinzhou that are participating in the rookie season will not feel relaxed until they see the official release of the rookie list at 12 o'clock.
Even if the new list is launched.
If the new artists launched by the company do not meet the expectations of the major entertainment companies, this low-pressure atmosphere will probably continue for a whole month.
Until the end of this rookie season.
This tense and uneasy atmosphere seemed to be even more severe in Xingmang Entertainment, so much so that since the start of work this morning, even the greetings between colleagues from different departments seemed to be much softer than usual.
Especially some music-related departments!
This is mainly because the company’s performance in the rankings of new artists in recent years has not been satisfactory, so the senior management is very dissatisfied.
The big boss got angry about this more than once.
For this reason, the quarterly bonuses of many relevant departments have also been cut. So, in order to make everyone's life better, everyone in the company sincerely hopes that the company will be able to make a comeback this year.
And there are rumors in the company:
Chief agent Zhao Jue made a pledge in front of the top management that the company must produce a top three newcomer this year, and if he fails to do so, he will ask for a demotion.
This is no small matter.
If the military order is not completed and Zhao Jue is really demoted by his superiors, it will be considered a major personnel change in Xingmang.
After all, Zhao Jue has great power.
As the protagonist of the rumor, Zhao Jue locked himself in the office since morning, lying on the chair with his eyes closed.
She fell into a state of self-isolation, not daring to look at her mobile phone, let alone the computer, because she had no confidence in this year's newcomers.
“Ding ding ding…”
Twelve o'clock finally arrived.
The sound of the alarm today seemed particularly sharp and piercing, directly pulling Zhao Jue out of his closed state.
"Let's execute him."
Zhao Jue opened his eyes, sighed, took another deep breath, and then turned on the computer.
Not just Zhao Jue.
The entire Xingmang Entertainment, and even the entire music-related industry, is now targeting this newly updated official list:
Newcomer list.
But when they saw the first name on the new talent list, everyone sighed in unison, and their emotions were strangely similar—
First place in the new talent list:
"It's Love", singer Qian Xingyu, composer Li Ran, company Shahai Entertainment.
Downloads: 88,500.
In previous years, the top spot on the Newcomer List would be fought to the death among major companies, with a lot of tension between them.
But this year is different.
"Newcomers" like Qian Xingyu are really special.
Surprisingly, he made his debut with his first TV series just one month before the rookie season and became a huge hit, bringing his own traffic.
Who can compete with such a "newcomer"
Everyone can only sigh: "With Qian Xingyu's trump card, Shahai Culture will probably be the first to lock in blood until the end of the month this year."
Zhao Jue also felt emotional.
With envy and jealousy.
Then she decided: look at the results from the bottom up.
Anyway, the Newcomer List only shows the top 100 rankings, and it doesn’t take much time to read through all 100 names.
As for the company’s newcomers not making it into the top 100
What a joke! After all, Xingmang Entertainment is one of the top entertainment companies in Qinzhou, with unique advantages in prior resources. If the company really has a newcomer who fails to make it into the top 100 despite the recommendation of resources of Xingmang's scale, then this newcomer must pack up and leave.
Zhao Jue’s vision is not that bad.
At the 73rd place, Zhao Jue saw the name of the first newcomer in the company, which made her frown slightly.
No. 55. When Zhao Jue saw the name of the second company, her brows furrowed even deeper.
When seeing the twelfth place, Zhao Jue had already seen the eighth name of the company.
The eleventh person is not from the company.
So, there are only two names left.
Does this mean that Xingmang Entertainment has two entries in the top ten this year
Biting her lip, Zhao Jue began to look at the top ten names. She was at ninth place and saw the name of the ninth newcomer in the company.
Now there's only one left.
8th… 7th… 6th… 5th…
finally.
Zhao Jue found the name of the tenth person.
Third place in the new talent list:
"Born Like Summer Flowers", singer is Sun Yaohuo, composer is Xianyu, and the company is Xingmang Entertainment.
Downloads: 33,000.
Zhao Jue's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the third place on the Newcomer List, breathing rapidly, at this moment he actually felt a sense of relief at having survived a catastrophe:
Top three!
It’s the top three!
As the chief agent, Zhao Jue certainly knew that Xianyu was the stage name used by Lin Yuan. However, she did not expect that the person who saved her from the edge of the cliff was actually Lin Yuan, who almost caused her to fall off the cliff.
Fate is really wonderful.
No longer caring about other people's rankings, Zhao Jue's smile became confident again: "No one can knock me down now. As long as I protect Lin Yuan's third place, I won't be demoted!"
The consequences of demotion are too severe.
There is still a mortgage on my large single-family villa.
Zhao Jue suddenly stood up from his seat and quickly made a phone call: "Immediately contact the heads of several music software companies. I want their homepage recommendation flow. The highest standard that Xingmang can get!"
"Okay... Congratulations, Sister Zhao."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to know what had happened.
Zhao Jue smiled and said, "Thank you. Your Resources Department will have to help out a little more now. After all, this is only the first day's ranking."
The ranking on the first day does not represent the final ranking.
There are still twenty-nine days of competition to go.
However, if a large company like Xingmang concentrates on defense and gets in the top three on the first day, there is basically no possibility of failure. If it really doesn't work, there is still the nine-protect-one tactic as a safety bolt.
What is Nine-Guarantee-One
Of course, they appropriately sacrificed the resources of the other nine songs and tried to give "Born Like Summer Flowers" more exposure. This is a tactic that many small companies will adopt when they release a high-performing song.
Generally speaking, Xingmang does not use this kind of tactics, after all, Xingmang is not a small company.
After the first call, Zhao Jue seemed to have thought of something and made another call: "Old Zhou, are you still short of people in the composition department?"
"Stop it, Xiao Zhao."
There was a stiff male voice on the other end of the phone: "For the new talent list, the company forced me to recruit a bunch of new people to compose music. Can this kind of thing be done by using the human sea tactics? So don't make things difficult for me, my place is already overcrowded."
Zhao Jue smiled: "Even Envy Fish is not okay?"
The attitude on the other end of the phone changed 80 degrees in an instant: "Sister Zhao, where is Xianyu? I can sign with him in person. We are really short of people in the composition department recently!"
