Chapter 160: Musical Journey (Part 1)

“There are so many companies.”

Gan Yanyu murmured.

Lin Tian leaned out of the window and looked out, and found that the car was driving into a wide road. On the side of the road, there were buildings of brokerage companies standing.

Xingyao Media, Huacai Records, Lingdong Star, Jiayin Records. At a glance, many of them are names that even people like Lin Tian who don’t pay attention to the entertainment industry have heard of.

It seems that the title of Internet celebrity city is not undeserved, and Qingzhou City's entertainment industry is indeed very developed.

"Lin Tian, ​​look at that."

Gan Yanyu shook Lin Tian's hand and pointed outside the window.

Lin Tian looked in the direction the girl pointed.

On a towering building, the three big words [SYC] are particularly eye-catching.

“Oh, this company is also here.”

In the early days, Lin Tian met Zhong Weian, an enthusiastic uncle from the company, by chance, which enabled this high school student to have good equipment to shoot videos from the very beginning.

To some extent, this uncle can be said to have been very kind to Lin Tian.

After Gan Yanyu got 100,000 yuan in pocket money from her parents, Lin Tian replaced all the equipment with new ones and returned the original equipment to the uncle.

To express his gratitude, Lin Tian treated the uncle to a meal when he returned the equipment.

Originally, he considered giving some money as the rental fee, but considering that the uncle didn't need this little money, and if money was involved, the story of Xiao He and Han Xin would have a different flavor, so Lin Tian gave up.

"Why, has Teacher Lin Tian ever had any contact with this company?"

Hearing Lin Tian's emotional tone, He Zhichen asked.

"Well, their company's music director has loaned us equipment before."

"Zhong Weian!"

As expected of someone who works with big data, He Zhichen immediately said the uncle’s name.

Lin Tian asked: "Do you know him?"

“Everyone in Qingzhou who works in this field should know him. He is the music director of SYC. He was also a professional agent in the early days. Many well-known music artists of SYC were produced by him. Later, he was promoted all the way and became the music director of SYC four years ago. He is a very powerful person.”

"I see."

"How did Teacher Lin Tian know you?"

"I met him in the restaurant where I worked. He asked me if I wanted to consider becoming a professional musician. At that time, TikTok hadn't even taken off yet, so I didn't have the idea."

"Well, it's right to refuse."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Tian became interested. He also wanted to know how He Zhichen, as a competitor, would evaluate the company SYC.

"Haha, what else can you say about this kind of thing? It's nothing more than a classic tactic commonly used by big companies like SYC, signing a lot of newcomers with potential in one go, and then only one or two of them can be successfully promoted, while the others are either hidden or have a miserable life, etc. Anyway, such things have long been no secret in the eyes of the public, right?" He Zhichen laughed.

"I see."

Lin Tian was quite surprised that He Zhichen could speak so frankly.

Indeed, at that time, Lin Tian had not yet released any works, nor had he accumulated any popularity. He could only be said to have "talent" but no real capital. If he had chosen to sign a contract at that time, he would most likely have been sold at a low price.

You may not end up as miserable as described in the story, but you will most likely become a leek.

"What about your company?" Lin Tian asked.

He Zhichen commented on SYC like this. As a music agency, is Le Yun clean? "Such things are inevitable in this industry. In fact, it is a matter of mutual consent. It just depends on who does it more decently. But I still want to say that Le Yun is indeed more decent than most companies in this regard."

At this point, He Zhichen's voice suddenly became serious:

"In fact, I don't like to talk about these things. Capital is profit-seeking, but compared to cold data, I prefer to talk about dreams."

As He Zhichen's voice fell.

Lin Tian felt a shake in the car.

The car drove over the speed bump and drove into a gate with the words "Le Yun Brokerage Co., Ltd." engraved on it in large letters.

After entering the gate, in front of you is a tall building that looks quite old.

The car stopped and several people got out.

Lin Tian turned his head and noticed that outside the gate, some young heads were shaking, looking eager, and no one knew what they were watching.

Similarly, on the way here just now, Lin Tian also saw such heads at the doors of many brokerage companies, most of them were junior high and high school students.

"I'm here to chase stars."

He Zhichen said very directly.

For fans, being able to see their favorite stars is enough to satisfy them for a long time.

On weekends and holidays, there is always a group of people like this gathering at the door of these brokerage companies. They may wait for a whole day and may not be able to see the idol they want to meet, but they still think that this is a very meaningful thing. Even in the process of waiting, they can gain sufficient emotional value.

Sometimes, Lin Tian is quite envious of these fans who chase stars.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Because they only need to choose an idol for themselves, and they can easily absorb the emotional value they want from it. Even if they only see it once, they can be happy for several days.

In contrast, the average person may need a whole day of qualifying wins, or save money for several months to buy what they want, to get the same emotional value.

At this time, the young people gathered outside the door saw Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu getting off the car. They were surprised at the unfamiliar faces of the two people and whispered to each other.

Judging from his appearance, he seems like a new popular artist, but I have no impression of him at all.

Although they were not sure, many people took out their mobile phones, thinking that it might be a big star, and took pictures of the two from a distance, for fear of missing any possible opportunity.

Lin Tian naturally stood behind Gan Yanyu and turned his back to her.

"Let's go." He Zhichen said.

The three of them entered the building. In the lobby on the first floor, a lady with her hair tied up and dressed neatly hurried out to greet them.

"Hello!"

The lady greeted.

"Brother Chen, these two."

Then, seeing Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, the lady looked somewhat confused and uncertain.

"Teacher Lin Tian and Teacher Gan Yanyu - [Moonlight and Cat] on TikTok."

He Zhichen introduced.

"They are Moonlight and the Cat themselves?!"

The lady looked at the two people in surprise and disbelief.

“So young!”

"Let me introduce you. This is our company's deputy general manager, Pu Yidan," said He Zhichen.

"Hello, Teacher Pu."

Gan Yanyu nodded slightly politely.

"So good."

Pu Yidan gave her an old aunt's doting look and spoke with a Sichuan accent.

"Good" is the highest compliment to a cute child in Sichuan, and includes recognition of one's appearance.

When He Zhichen told her that he would bring Moonlight and the cat over today, Pu Yidan was shocked.

As a popular music celebrity recently, it is said that no one has ever seen his true face. In order to prepare for this meeting, Pu Yidan made special preparations, hoping to leave a good impression in front of the two teachers.

But the moment after seeing him, Pu Yidan still felt that she had not made enough preparations.
