BXBX NOVEL Chapter 167 - 158: Disciple_1
Lin Yuan finally made it to Saturday…
While Jian Yi was still sleeping in, he had already ridden in Gu Dong’s car to the company.
It seemed just like the first time Lin Yuan entered the company.
Almost the moment Lin Yuan set foot in the company, all eyes were on him.
The composers in the composing department looked at him, their eyes filled with a hint of admiration!
Can you blame them for not admiring him?
A three-million-dollar order, a month of creative time, along with the client’s style restrictions, in the eyes of many, Mr. Lin had only a ten percent chance of completing the order!
But what was the outcome?
Mr. Lin not only completed the order, secured Thunderbolt Entertainment, but also exceeded the task, the song “Like You” was a massive hit!
Understand this!
Completing the order is one thing, but whether the song can become popular is another.
For Starlight Music, from the moment the order is transferred, whether the song can become popular or not is no longer the most important issue!
As mentioned before…
Over eighty percent of customized songs actually don’t hit big.
Because custom songs are like a specified topic composition, it’s hard for composers to fully showcase their completely powerful skills.
This is the second major reason why composers from Qin Continent dislike the order style of Qi Continent:
“I worked so hard for so many days to write a song you like according to your strict requirements, but the public doesn’t like it that much?”
Why should I do that?
I’d rather not take your order, be free to create, write a song that the public likes, and then enjoy the download dividend, isn’t that more appealing? So called extra rewards.
What’s scary is that you might eventually lose the basic clientele while trying to get extra rewards.
So unless it’s a huge order of millions, truly powerful composers really don’t like to take it.
Therefore.
For the composers of Starlight Music, Mr. Lin, who not only completed a hellishly difficult order but also managed to make the song a hit, was truly a godlike being!
Lin Yuan didn’t react much to this.
It’s hard to expect a child who’s been used to being stared at since childhood to react to this situation.
He just calmly walked into his own office.
Gu Dong followed him like a bag-carrying sister, despite carrying no bag.
“See? This is what a Maestro looks like!”
“At first, I just felt that Mr. Lin was aloof, now I feel that even if such a divine being was approachable, I wouldn’t dare to babble in front of him.”
“The strong are always lonely, which is why we are weak.”
“Mr. Lin has not been with the company for long, and he has already completed two orders!”
“Is this what they call ‘one god leads four dogs’? ”
“What the hell are you talking about – it’s clearly ‘one god leads a pack of dogs’.”
“Look at Lil Goodoong, looking all ingratiating. She’s never been this submissive to her dad.”
“I would like to ingratiate myself, but I can’t.”
“We would be perfectly fine if only we had one-fifth of Mr. Lin’s abilities. We wouldn’t be producing just one order every few months, and that too only a small order worth three to five hundred thousand.”
“I heard that the company has new order intentions. It’s all because of the Thunderbolt order. Our Starlight Music is actually being contacted by clients for potential orders?”
The company’s composers are engaged in a lively discussion.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office, Gu Qiangyun was grinning from ear to ear.
From last night until now, he had received several calls about potential collaborations with Starlight Music.
Of course.
These unconfirmed orders are called intended orders.
The company’s capacity is limited, Gu Qiangyun couldn’t possibly accept all the orders and then cram them all onto Mr. Lin.
The Thunderbolt assignment had been thrilling enough, he didn’t dare to play such a risky game again.
He was simply thinking that he would let Mr. Lin choose later.
He would first screen the intended orders, as many clients were unfamiliar with Mr. Lin’s order acceptance rules.
Lin Yuan had no intention of accepting orders today. One song a month was his limit, any more would attract unnecessary attention.
He was here today for the task, so once he entered the office, he immediately asked Gu Dong:
“Is Xue Liang in the company?”
Gu Dong was taken aback, suddenly remembering Lin Yuan had asked for the details of the composition department staff before: “Does Mr. Lin need him for something?”
“Yes.”
Lin Yuan thought for a while, feeling that he needed to explain himself: “I plan on taking three apprentices in the company’s composition department, and Xue Liang is the composer I chose first.”
“Huh?”
Surprised, Gu Dong broke into a smile.
She knew that Lin Yuan would leave the branch office sooner or later, and it might go back to how it was before.
So, it’s great that Lin Yuan would be willing to guide the company’s composers. After all, Mr. Lin’s skills are obvious.
But Gu Dong doesn’t expect Lin Yuan to teach someone incredibly talented.
Her thoughts are simple.
It would be good to slightly improve the strength of the company’s composers. After all, learning to compose is not a simple matter, and it requires talent. Five minutes later.
Xue Liang came up.
The moment he entered, he was inexplicably nervous. Looking at Lin Yuan, like the other composers in the company, his eyes were filled with subtle admiration.
Also, Xue Liang, who was turning 25 this year, being one of the youngest composers in the company, looking at Lin Yuan who was even younger than him, his feelings were probably deeper than others!
He knew.
If it wasn’t for Mr. Lin being transferred from the head office, he would probably never have the chance to interact with someone on this level.
Xue Liang believed that even in the Land of Music like Qin Continent, Mr. Lin must be an extremely powerful figure!
“Mr. Lin.”
He nervously asked, “You have business with me?”
Apart from the usual thoughts, Xue Liang was also slightly worried…
Did he do his job poorly and thought Mr. Lin wanted to fire him?
Lin Yuan looked up at Xue Liang and said, “From today onwards, on every double-cultivation day, learn composition from me. Are you willing?” “What?”
Xue Liang was stunned for a moment, followed by a surge of ecstasy: “I’m willing, I’m willing! I… I…”
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
He chose Xue Liang for a reason.
After reviewing the staff information of the company, Lin Yuan knew that Xue Liang was a composer with a high single-out rate.
This man was very smart.
He never takes those large orders of hundreds of thousands but instead focuses on the smaller orders of around a hundred thousand.
There’s a sense of accumulation.
And those orders around a hundred thousand, Xue Liang executed them smoothly.
This was his expertise.
Because most of these orders don’t require high-quality songs, catchy pop songs are enough, so Xue Liang’s order completion rate was high!
This was also a skill.
Lin Yuan thought that Xue Liang’s qualifications should not be bad, and another reason was:
Xue Liang was not from a background in composition!
Before he became a composer, he was actually a programmer.
It may sound unrelated, but he indeed was a programmer, and only switched careers to become a composer halfway through.
Probably only Starlight Music would ignore his college major and hire him.
For someone who had not undergone systematic learning to be able to complete a large number of orders, he must have a talent factor.
With this in mind, Lin Yuan asked Gu Dong to bring in a teaching dedicated whiteboard and black-colored whiteboard markers.
After Gu Dong left.
With a thought, Lin Yuan activated Yang Zhongming’s character card, and a myriad of composition knowledge filled his mind. At the same time, the Teacher’s Halo automatically turned on!
“Let’s get started then.”
Xue Liang could obviously sense that Mr. Lin seemed to have changed somehow in an instant.
But he couldn’t pinpoint exactly where the change was.
He inexplicably felt very insignificant…
