The company ranked third on the newcomer list!
The moment the Newcomer List was opened, the news had spread throughout Star Entertainment, and employees throughout the company were excited.
"Fuck, finally a big shot comes out to save face."
"Will our music department's bonus not be deducted again this year?"
"Oh, our film and television department has issued a mission. Everyone in the department must download "Born Like Summer Flowers" at least once. We finally got third place this year, and the higher-ups are trying their best to protect it."
"That's not the case."
"Xingmang is one of the top three entertainment companies in Qinzhou. The poor performance on the Newcomer List has a great impact on our company's image. You should know that many graduates from music colleges in Qinzhou choose companies based on these indicators..."
There are countless entertainment companies in Qinzhou.
The three most famous ones are undoubtedly Xingmang Entertainment, Shahai Culture, and Brilliant Silver Fire.
In the past rookie season, the newcomers launched by these three companies basically occupied the top row of the rookie list.
But in recent years, Sand Sea and Magnificent Silver Fire have been as stable as ever, but Xingmang Entertainment's performance has continued to be poor, so much so that the outside world has begun to question Xingmang's authority in the music field.
This influence is terrible!
That's why the company's top management put pressure on Zhao Jue, who was fully responsible for this matter.
If it weren't for this reason, under normal circumstances, the value of a rookie season wouldn't be enough to make the company boss angry.
And as the company employees discussed.
Naturally, Xianyu's name became known to everyone.
In contrast, there is little discussion about Sun Yaohuo.
You know, this is an era where ordinary people pay attention to composers, not to mention in a typical industry ecological environment like an entertainment company!
The status of a composer is much higher than that of a singer.
Otherwise, why is there a term "Qu Dad" in the industry
Everyone knows one thing:
The reason why a song becomes popular is often because the composer writes his melody into people's hearts.
In other words.
The song "Born Like Summer Flowers" written by Xianyu is not very picky about who likes it.
Even if the company does not ask Sun Yaohuo to sing this song, but instead asks someone else to sing it, anyone with a good vocal condition can become popular with the help of the company's resources and promotion.
This is why everyone prefers composing music after the song becomes popular.
Of course.
Those singers with extremely enchanting voices are another matter.
This type of singer is extremely rare in the entire music industry. They have unique vocal conditions and can sing any song well. They can be said to be killer-level. Their status is high enough to be on par with those famous composers.
When some talented singers work with those awesome composers, they often achieve mutual success; neither can be without the other.
After all, some songs are not something that everyone can sing.
It's just like you can't just pull any singer from the company into the recording studio to sing opera.
Of course, this does not mean that the more difficult a song is to sing, the better it is. Some songs can be sung by everyone, but you cannot deny the excellence of these songs.
…
And the outside world at this time.
The atmosphere of the rookie season has spread throughout Qinzhou with the release of the new talent list.
The attention of major companies has finally temporarily shifted from Shahai Entertainment, which firmly occupies the first place on the newcomer list, to Xingmang Entertainment, which is also one of the three major entertainment companies.
"Oh wow, this year's Xingmang's newcomers are back in the top three."
"After all, it is one of the three major established entertainment companies. It is impossible for Xingmang Entertainment to perform poorly every year."
"So the three bosses are leaving us no chance to survive. The first place is the unbreakable Sand Sea, the second place is the Magnificent Silver Fire, and the third place is the Starlight, which has regained its glory. They eat the meat, and we small companies can only drink soup from behind."
"… "
In addition to companies in the entertainment industry, music critics are of course also paying attention to the Newcomer List, and the top three songs are the focus of many people.
On Weibo.
Music critics have come out in droves to recommend their favorite new songs on the Newcomer Chart.
As a result, the song that the vast majority of music critics finally chose as their recommended song was unanimously ranked third, "Born Like Summer Flowers"!
This rhythm has aroused the interest of many passers-by in "Born Like Summer Flowers", and the comment section below many recommendations has also become lively:
“What a beautiful song title.”
"Life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves. Before I even start listening to the song, I can tell from the recommendation that this song is the best."
"Of the ten music critics I follow, seven have recommended "Born Like Summer Flowers". I have to give it a listen."
"I listened to the song, it's pretty good, I support downloading it."
"I listened to it, too. I personally think this song is just average."
"Personal taste is everything. Anyway, I was shocked the first time I listened to "Born Like Summer Flowers". This is the first time I was shocked by a song without high notes."
“Wow, this song has something.”
"Thanks to the music critics for the recommendation. This song is probably the biggest gain of my rookie season this year. Without further ado, I'll add it to my collection and playlist."
"… "
This is also a common practice in Qinzhou.
Every year during the rookie season, almost all music critics will try to take advantage of the popularity of the rookie season.
Either recommend your favorite songs, or take advantage of the money paid by the entertainment company and send out some press releases written in advance by the entertainment company.
The former are more numerous.
The latter are relatively small in number.
Because in Qinzhou, music is still a relatively sacred thing, and the public is not foolish enough to allow music critics to fool them.
This is related to the characteristics of Qinzhou.
There are eight continents in Blue Star, including Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei, plus Zhongzhou, the "capital" of Blue Star.
Each continent has different characteristics.
Among them, Qinzhou is recognized as the "Hometown of Music" by the entire Blue Star!
There are many musicians here.
Qizhou, next to Qinzhou, is known as the "Movie Palace".
However, official data shows that most of Qizhou’s film soundtracks were made with the help of Qu Die in Qinzhou.
at the same time.
Eighty percent of the composers active on the Blue Star art stage are almost all from Qinzhou!
Not just songs of all genres.
And piano... violin... symphony...
And so on and so forth.
All musical arts have great commercial space in Qinzhou.
Therefore, it can be seen that Qinzhou people really have a deep love for music, which is why the Newcomer Music Season can become a traditional project in Qinzhou.
I have been influenced by it since childhood.
Qinzhou people also like to pride themselves on having "high musical taste".
If Qinzhou people bring up music-related topics in front of people from the other seven continents, their sense of superiority will be overwhelming.
…
Zhao Jue called Lin Yuan.
When the call was connected, the chief agent spoke with excitement: "Lin Yuan, you will be able to transfer to the composition department later. Also, congratulations on reaching third place on the new talent list!"
“Am I third?”
Lin Yuan on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and asked seriously, "This ranking should be considered pretty good in the rookie season, right?"
"… "
This question made Zhao Jue confused.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and then she understood Lin Yuan's hidden meaning and asked in surprise: "Didn't you pay attention to the Newcomer List today?"
"My classmates seem to be paying attention." Lin Yuan said.
Zhao Jue was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. There were so many flaws in Lin Yuan's words that she didn't know where to start.
She could only force herself to talk: "Yes, third place is a very good result, but today is only the first day. I will help you maintain your ranking in the future."
"Thank you, Sister Zhao."
Lin Yuan still respects Zhao Jue very much.
However, Zhao Jue felt that she was a little bored by Lin Yuan's talk that day. The boy's calmness formed a sharp contrast with her excitement.
It seems like I have never seen the world
She could only forcefully end the topic: "Then come to the company when you have time to go through the formalities. The song income will be transferred to your card at the end of the month. I'll hang up now."
"good."
When talking about the income from the songs, Lin Yuan's voice suddenly became more expectant, which finally made Zhao Jue feel a little bit like "it turns out I have seen the world after all".
"This child..."
Zhao Jue shook his head in amusement, hung up the phone, and turned his attention back to the computer.
This is the list interface of the Newcomer List.
Since lunch, Zhao Jue has been staring at this interface, not daring to leave.
She was afraid that if she blinked, she would lose the third place.
But as he watched, Zhao Jue felt something was wrong.
Not that the fourth place has caught up.
The fourth place had less than 30,000 downloads.
In comparison, the number of downloads of "Born Like Summer Flowers" has increased to a full 50,000 from this morning till now!
But this is where something is wrong.
It seems like the download volume of "Born Like Summer Flowers" is increasing a bit too fast
The second place is the song of gorgeous silver fire.
"Aries", singer Zeng Yi, composer Li Yang, downloaded 53,000 times.
When the list was first released, the number of downloads of "Aries" was 43,000. So far, it has increased by 10,000.
But when "Born Like Summer Flowers" was first released on the list, it only had 33,000, but until now, it has increased by nearly 20,000!
what does that mean
Could it be that Xingmang is about to explode into a chrysanthemum with brilliant silver fire
The moment this idea appeared in Zhao Jue's mind, it was like taking root and growing wildly, so much so that her heartbeat quickened.
refresh!
refresh!
refresh!
Zhao Jue moved the mouse and began to refresh the webpage. Then she saw that the data of "Born Like Summer Flowers" and the second place were getting closer and closer, which made her heart beat faster and faster...
Six o'clock in the evening.
Near the end of get off work.
Zhao Jue didn't know how many times she had refreshed the list, but this time, she clearly saw that the second place on the newcomer list had become:
"Live like a summer flower"!
Downloads: 59,800!
The third place, the song "Aries" by Gorgeous Silver Fire, had downloads of 59,100, and was squeezed out of the top two!
This moment.
Zhao Jue almost laughed out loud like a fairy.
When I was still thinking about maintaining the third place, "Born Like Summer Flowers" quietly exploded with brilliant silver fire and became the second on the newcomer list!
That is, the first one is so special.
In the past rookie season, the performance of "Born Like Summer Flowers" would have swept the entire rookie list and won the championship directly!
Just then, the phone rang.
Zhao Jue answered the call and asked knowingly, "Old Zhou, what's the matter?"
The voice on the phone said, "Open the door."
Zhao Jue was stunned for a moment and opened the door.
Outside the door, a middle-aged man smiled excitedly, "Sister Zhao, secondly... no, I mean, that... we haven't gotten together for a long time. Order whatever you want to eat tonight. It's my treat! Also... when will Xianyu report to the composition department? We are really short of people in the composition department."
"oh."
Zhao Jue looked at Lao Zhou's servile appearance and suddenly felt that he was very unworldly.
