Chapter 105 Poor status (two in one)
"good!"
"Welcome new members!"
After Zhang Sihui's introduction, all the lyricists at the workstation applauded and welcomed him.
Lin Zhixing counted them now and found that there were a total of twelve lyricists, all with young faces, around thirty years old, and the oldest was in his early forties.
At this age, the desire to create is still relatively strong, and at the peak of creative ability, everyone hopes to create something famous, so the company's recruitment is quite reasonable.
There are still a few empty seats at the window seat, and there are things on the table. He should be a lyricist with some skills who doesn't come here often. Because of the special nature of the job, as long as he can create revenue for the company, I believe the company will not be too harsh.
Now on this occasion, it's time to say something myself.
Lin Zhixing thought for a moment, and after the applause stopped, he said with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am honored to join Yida Records and become colleagues with you."
"Sister Hui praised me too much just now, but I'm actually not that good. Under the influence of my grandfather since I was a child, I prefer poetry and songs. Maybe I have a little talent in this, and I won the competition by luck with this poem."
"I feel like I'm still a newcomer in terms of lyrics and music. When I come here, I hope to learn more and make progress together with everyone. Thank you all!"
Under the leadership of Zhang Sihui, applause rang out again.
Young people, especially young people with some achievements, will inevitably be a little arrogant. Lin Zhixing's words were very humble. She liked this humble attitude very much.
"Okay, let's continue working!"
After a brief introduction, Zhang Sihui and Lin Zhixing left the lyrics department.
Watching the two people leaving, several lyricists began to discuss in low voices.
"He was so crazy on the show, but I didn't expect him to be quite low-key in reality!"
"You just watch TV for fun, the programs are just characters."
"Is he still low-key? Being low-key is the best way to show off. The word "lucky" is used wonderfully. It's like he won casually, without any difficulty!"
The people in the lyrics department had polarizing first impressions of Lin Zhixing. Some people thought he was quite humble and low-key, while others thought he was crazy.
Those who thought he was crazy all had one thing in common: they also signed up for the lyrics contest.
…
The two of them walked towards the elevator.
Lin Zhixing turned around and glanced at the lyrics department, and asked curiously: "Sister Hui, can I ask a gossip question? How much is the monthly income of these lyricists?"
Zhang Sihui explained: "The basic salary ranges from 5,000 to 10,000. Everyone is different. The income is also plus the share of the work. The share can be high or low. The salary is relatively generous, but compared with the composition department, There is still a bit of a gap.”
Lin Zhixing nodded and expressed his understanding after listening.
When it comes to writing lyrics, for an unknown lyricist, the price of a song cannot be too high, so this treatment is really good.
"correct!"
Zhang Sihui pressed the "downward" button and suddenly remembered: "Xiao Lin, Brother Cong is not in the company today. He said that he would hold a welcome party the day after tomorrow to celebrate your victory."
"Thank you. Actually, no need to trouble..."
Lin Zhixing really didn't expect that he would still remember.
Zhang Sihui smiled and shook her head, emphasizing: "How can that be done? You are an artist our company focuses on cultivating!"
"Lift your love, lift your love."
Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head.
"And one more thing."
Zhang Sihui walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the eighth and first floor, "Brother Cong hopes that you can release it as soon as possible while it's hot. The recording studio company has it, and the song MV company has already started preparing for filming."
"okay."
Lin Zhixing nodded, thinking that the sooner the better, "I'll tell Song Ge when I get back later, let's do it tomorrow, I'll record it tomorrow."
The elevator stopped at the eighth floor.
Zhang Sihui raised her hand and glanced at her watch, but did not go down with him, "Xiao Lin, I have to pick up someone. You can leave anytime you want today. If you need anything, call me!"
"good."
…
In the office on the eighth floor.
"I'm back!"
Lin Zhixing opened the door of the office. Song Ge was watering the flowers with a watering can, while Dong Chen and Ji Yu were sitting on the sofa holding a mobile phone.
"You're back so soon? How is the lyrics department?" Dong Chen asked curiously.
Lin Zhixing nodded affirmatively, "It's good. As expected of my father who is engaged in real estate, a small record company is located in such a good building."
Dong Chen sighed softly and shrugged his shoulders, "No, I was born in Rome, and we were born as mules and horses!"
Ji Yu squinted her eyes with a smile, pointed to the wooden desk, and said in a coquettish tone: "Brother Lin, please arrange a table for us in this office when you come back!"
"No problem, I'll go back and say hello to Sister Hui."
Lin Zhixing came to the desk, sat down on the boss's chair, took out the USB flash drive from his pocket, inserted it into the computer, and opened the folder of "The Shocking Side".
I plan to let them practice this song and release the two albums together later.
"Brother Lin, look at this!"
Dong Chen walked to Lin Zhixing and handed over the phone.
Lin Zhixing took the phone and took a look. It was on Weibo's hot search list.
[King Dong Dehua's digital album "It's not a sin for a man to cry" will be launched on the Penguin Music platform at 12 noon tomorrow. 】
[The movie "Rebirth to Middle Age" starring the king Dong Dehua will be launched in major theaters across the country at 24:00 tonight. 】
These two topics ranked first and second on the hot search list, and both reached the point of "explosion", with more than 200,000 likes and more than 50,000 comments. Fans were extremely excited.
"Brother Hua, five years, you know how I have lived these five years! You finally released a new song!"
“Although the album only has one song, I’m so happy!”
"I'm looking forward to movies more. Brother Hua hasn't acted in a comedy for ten years. The movie "Tricky" he collaborated with the King of Comedy ten years ago was so funny."
"I want both. I'll watch the movie first when it premieres tonight, then get some sleep and listen to music at noon tomorrow. It'll be a blast!"
Lin Zhixing returned the phone to Dong Chen.
Some time ago, I often saw Dong Dehua promoting movies and songs on hot searches, but I didn’t expect that it would be released in theaters in the blink of an eye.
The song "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" had a 50-50 contract with the King of Heaven. Lin Zhixing thought that this was beautiful. With the copyright of this song, he would definitely make a lot of money.
Dong Chen put his arm on his shoulder, smiled and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother Lin, don't you have any ideas after reading this?"
Lin Zhixing raised his head and asked, "What do you think?"
Dong Chen curled his lips and said: "This song "It's not a sin for a man to cry" was written and composed by you. Don't you want to go to the cinema to watch this movie and listen to the audience's reaction to this song?"
"think……"
Lin Zhixing nodded, "I really want to go, but tickets for this premiere are too difficult to buy. When will I be able to get tickets? I already know the feedback about this song."
"cough!"
Dong Chen raised the corners of his mouth proudly, poked at his phone, turned the screen and said, "Brother Lin, this is a gift from me. Do you know how hard it was for me to grab it?"
"I go!"
Lin Zhixing raised his head in surprise and asked, "How did you do two consecutive couple seats?"
I heard the words "love constellation".
Song Ge, who was playing with the green plants, was startled for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Dong Chen smiled and shook his head, "The process was very difficult, so I won't go into details. Let the four of us watch a movie together tonight to relax!"
It's good. It's much better to see the audience's feedback live than to read the comments.
"Xiao Ji!"
Lin Zhixing waved, called Ji Yu to the computer, pointed at the folder and said, "I'll also give you a gift, a song composed for you two!"
"A song written for both of us?"
Dong Chen and Ji Yu looked at each other and were very excited. They had been looking forward to following Brother Lin and fulfilling their dream of becoming a singer. They didn't expect that the new song would come out so soon.
Judging from the high quality of every song since his first stage, the quality of this song will never be bad.
"Yes, created for you two."
Lin Zhixing smiled and nodded, and added: "Not only that, but also with the song "Sigh", I also plan to release a single album for you two!"
"Single album?"
Dong Chen and Ji Yu couldn't believe their ears. They thought it would be great to release an album within three years, but they didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.
"Brother Lin, I love you!"
Dong Chen hugged him excitedly.
"Okay, okay, I can't breathe anymore."
Lin Zhixing pushed him aside with a smile, slid the mouse, and clicked on the song demo he had recorded in the folder.
"You two listen to this song and decide whether to choose "Jinghong Side" or "Sigh" as the title of your album. This song is a male and female duet. I sang it reluctantly, so you can just listen to it."
"good!"
Dong Chen and Ji Yu put away their smiles and listened seriously. Song Ge also came over, wanting to listen to their new song.
Music flows from the speakers.
The sound of playing the guqin in the prelude was very beautiful and quickly caught their ears.
"Turn your hands to make clouds and turn your hands to make rain"
"Wash your hands in a golden basin to stop the wind and rain"
“I don’t love the world of mortals, but I can’t let go of memories.”
"You are there in every paragraph"
Chinese style male and female duet!
Just listening to the first two sentences, Dong Chen's eyes lit up. There were very few Chinese-style songs, and almost never seen male-female duets in Chinese style.
Do you give away treasures directly when you send songs?
"I heard the Yao Qin dancing and singing a tune under the willow tree"
"It seems to be a reflection of the graceful and stunning scenery of the past."
"Who stirred up feelings with just a few words?"
"Whose smile sways the nebula"
After hearing this, a picture of a beautiful encounter appeared in their minds.
One is a handsome young man, and the other is a charming young lady.
A few intentional words can already stir up ripples in my heart. A sentimental person whose every frown and smile cannot hide the shyness on his face.
What a heart-pounding first encounter this is!
"What do I want in this life but you?"
"The first time we met when we were young is always in my heart"
"Your affection has not diminished over the years"
"How can the picturesque mountains and rivers be compared to each other?"
"The scenery you gave me"
Dong Chen and Ji Yu were deeply attracted by this song.
The song wasn't over yet. During the interlude, Ji Yu was already humming the female melody of the song in her heart.
Still unfinished, the song ended.
The two of them were staring at the computer screen and were still in place, not yet able to get out of the music.
"The Shocking Side" is such a good name. How to describe the feeling after listening to it, it's probably...
When there is no love, I can hear the feeling of heartbeat.
"How's it going? Not bad, right?"
Lin Zhixing looked at the two people in a daze and asked with a smile.
"This song is so good! Are you really going to sing it to the two of us?"
Dong Chen's eyes widened and he asked in excitement and disbelief.
"certainly."
Lin Zhixing nodded affirmatively, "You two will decide on the title song of the album later."
Dong Chen and Ji Yu looked at each other and nodded understandingly.
Although I haven’t sung this song yet, I’ve already thought of the answer.
The song "Sigh" is very brainwashing, and it has its advantages to become popular in short videos, but if compared with the song "Jinghong Side", there is a certain gap in both the lyrics and the music.
"Jinghong Side" can be said to be good among peers, but "Sigh" will definitely be questioned by some people, whether it is musicians or netizens.
Huang Ling herself once liked a netizen's comment "Little Huang Ge" in the music comment area.
Coupled with the rarity of Chinese duets, the answer is obvious.
The two people raised their mouths and said in unison: "Brother Lin, we choose this song "Jinghong Side" as the album's main song!"
…
…
Lobby on the first floor of Yida Records.
"Hello, Brother Miao!"
"Hey, Xiaohui!"
The man Zhang Sihui picked up looked about fifty years old. He was wearing a wide vest and shorts, and the Mediterranean on his head was particularly obvious.
He is the famous lyricist "Miao Sheng" whom Wang Cong spent a lot of effort to recruit. He originally planned to rely on his works to compete with the three record giants in the lyrics contest, but unfortunately the contract was not negotiated at the beginning.
In terms of fame in the lyrics world, she is no less famous than Xiao Shiniang. However, now that she is older, she has fewer works every year, but she is still a lyricist that many first-line singers want to work with.
Wang Cong offered him a very well-paid pension contract. He only had to hand over four songs to the company every year, and he didn't have to go to work and just work from home.
On average, he can play one song for three months without getting tired, and he can work from home. This is what attracted him.
He came here today to sign a contract and recognize the door.
While joking, the two came to the lyrics department.
"Everyone, please stop working for a moment and I'll introduce you to you!"
After Zhang Sihui gathered everyone's attention, she enthusiastically introduced: "You may be familiar with this big brother. I believe many people are familiar with his works, Miao Sheng, the 'Miaobi Sheng' brother!"
"Miaobisheng?"
"Brother Cong, who has a lot of money, really invited him here?"
"That's great. The singers in the company are very happy. Whoever can sing the works he wrote will greatly increase the popularity!"
Upon hearing this title, the lyricists were stunned for a moment, then stood up and clapped to welcome him.
"Brother Miao, you are the one I admire most among lyricists!"
"Brother Miao, I love your song "Encounter" so much. Can I take a photo with you?"
After several songwriters applauded, they left their workstations and came forward to shake hands excitedly.
"Okay, okay."
Miao Sheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, we will all be colleagues from now on, so there is no need to be so polite!"
Zhang Sihui looked at the scene in front of him and frowned as he recalled that Lin Zhixing had just arrived here and his popularity was far worse.
"Are you not convinced because of your peers? How about the respect you deserve for having written so many phenomenal works?"
