Chapter 161: The Journey of Music (Part 2)

"Two teachers, come this way."

Led by He Zhichen and Pu Yidan, the two walked through the lobby and took the elevator to the third floor.

Coming to the Artist Department, this is the department under Le Yun that is responsible for the daily affairs management of artists, which also includes the artist training base.

During the visit, idol trainees and some workers cast curious glances at us from time to time.

"Who is it? Brother Chen and Sister Dan are personally receiving them?"

"I can understand Brother Chen. He might have invited them. Isn't it amazing that Sister Dan also came to greet them personally?"

"Shouldn't the trainees be artists who switched over?"

"She's a little too young, but she's really pretty."

“.”

Workers who were slacking off at work were whispering to each other.

After a while, they passed by a big wall.

On the wall, there are various "historical celebrities" in Le Yun.

Above are official photos of various musicians and music queens.

Among them, there is even a person like Lin Tian who is known by people who don’t pay attention to the entertainment industry. The boy then exclaimed, “Oh~ So XXX is from this company.”

However, I didn’t see any rappers. There are many local rappers in Qingzhou City. If I could see them in this company, given Lin Tian’s personality, it would be somewhat stereotyped.

Looking at artists of various identities, Lin Tian also became curious about Le Yun’s company business.

"Do you cover all areas?"

"At first, Leyun was a record company. It was mainly responsible for the production and distribution of records. Later, as the business expanded, we began to sign some artists ourselves. At first, we signed professional musicians. Qingjiang is a province with a strong music industry. We cooperated with Xingye Conservatory of Music and Qingjiang University of Music, signed many college students with potential, and focused on training them into professional performers. We gradually built up the company and changed the name to 'Leyun Agency'."

Pu Yidan recounted the company's history, paused, and then continued,

"In recent years, the company has further expanded and entered the film and television industry, and only then did it begin to tentatively sign some young actors."

"I see."

Lin Tian seemed to be thinking about something.

It started out as a record company, gradually transformed into a music agency, and then became a complete entity involved in various businesses.

Judging from this resume, when it comes to record distribution and the training of professional musicians, Le Yun is indeed more knowledgeable than ordinary brokerage companies.

Especially the experience of starting out by cooperating with the music college makes music students like Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu feel more familiar with it instinctively.

No wonder He Zhichen insisted on letting Lin Tian come for a visit. Some things can only be felt more deeply when seen with one's own eyes.

Lin Tian looked at Gan Yanyu on the side, wanting to see Teacher Gan’s reaction.

However, the girl just stared blankly at the person on the wall, with no expression on her face, but she seemed to be in a trance, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Lin Tian suddenly remembered that Gan Yanyu had signed with a company before, so he asked, "Teacher Gan, what was the name of the company you signed with before?"

"Phantom sound." Gan Yanyu said.

"Huanyin, it really seems like a place that Teacher Gan Yanyu would be suitable for." He Zhichen said.

"What's wrong?"

"It's not big, but it's great at training musicians. It almost never signs trainees, but only signs new musicians with potential. Its main business is to arrange concerts, tours, festival performances, music competitions, etc. for professional musicians."

Lin Tian understood.

Unlike big companies, it is a small and exquisite company that only serves professional musicians. Its business is not extensive, but it has a very good reputation in some small circles.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Teachers, come over here and take a look."

Then, He Zhichen stretched out his hand and asked the two to continue moving forward.

Going further, there are small rooms. There is a nameplate on each double door.

[Hot Movement], [Dream Movement], [Shine]

These famous brands represent the exclusive territory of a certain organization or studio.

As if to prevent Pu Yidan from hearing, He Zhichen deliberately slowed down his pace, and then whispered in Lin Tian's ear:

"If Teacher Lin Tian and Teacher Gan Yanyu are willing to join us, with my guarantee, it shouldn't be difficult to set up a studio for the two teachers in the form of a group."

“.”

Lin Tian was a little dazed.

A personal studio is very different from a general contracted artist. Its management model, financial structure, contract terms, etc. are basically independent of the company.

Often, only senior artists who are recognized and supported by the industry can enjoy such treatment, and the key point is whether the brand itself has enough stable partners.

For Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu, such a requirement is a little short of reality, but it cannot be said that it does not exist at all.

For example, [Moonlight and Cat] is already a well-known IP. When Lin Tian is shooting videos, he already has some stable advertisers.

Lotte Musical Instruments is a typical example.

Lin Tian has collaborated with the artists in both "Cello Concerto in E Minor" and "Spanish Bullfight", but because they were both soft advertisements, they were not directly shown in the videos and the profits were not high.

It is precisely because we are still at the stage of small-scale operations and lack a truly big resource to prove ourselves.

At this time, the role of the agency comes into play.

If Lin Tian can sign the contract smoothly, with the bridge built by the company, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu will be able to take over larger business cooperation with confidence.

Even if Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu are not interested in this, it is inevitable that there will always be times when they are short of money. It would not be a shame if they could take on some endorsements and earn some money.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The existence of the studio allows Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu greater freedom. When they don't want to operate, no one can force them. This is very important to them.

He Zhichen probably came up with this idea because, in his calculations, he believed that the commercial value of the two was far greater than it appeared on the surface.

sounds good.

"Let's take another look."

Lin Tian was not in a hurry to respond to He Zhichen.

However, these have not yet made Lin Tian "really want to join immediately".

Go further, past the practice room.

In one transparent practice room after another, there are scattered trainees and performers training here and there.

They looked focused, playing their instruments by themselves, and were completely unaware of the people passing by the window.

"Why do they all practice alone?"

Lin Tian asked.

"We rarely interfere with the learning of professional musicians, even for newcomers. Most of the time, they need a quiet environment. All we need to do is to make the musicians believe that 'just focus on playing and leave the rest to the agent'," said He Zhichen.

“.”

As a high school student, Lin Tian doesn’t quite understand how other companies handle this, but after listening to what is said here, he tends to agree.

In his eyes, agents and studios should play such roles.

One is for adjustment and the other is for aftermath.

Musical matters should be left to the musicians themselves.

Passing by a room, He Zhichen stopped again and began to introduce that this was the place where so-and-so, a famous young musician, had trained. And that “so-and-so” was now an international music master and held an important position in a certain music association.

For ordinary people, including Lin Tian, ​​these words don’t mean anything, but they are still very damaging to Gan Yanyu.

Gan Yanyu just lay on the glass wall, eyes wide open, staring at everything inside in a trance.

Although he didn't say a word, he seemed to pay more attention to everything here than anyone else.

I don’t know what Teacher Gan is thinking at this time.

Lin Tian smiled, stopped, stood aside and looked at Teacher Gan.

“.”

At this moment, He Zhichen appeared in Lin Tian's ear like a ghost.

"Teacher Lin Tian, ​​excuse me for asking, are you secretly in love with Teacher Gan Yanyu?"

"ah?"

The topic changed so suddenly that Lin Tian turned around, a little confused, "How did you know?"

"I've said before, an agent is the 'head of the family'. I've been providing psychological counseling to young artists for many years and have plenty of experience in this area. I can tell at a glance what little emotions an artist has."

He Zhichen adjusted his glasses frame, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "Making the group more harmonious and increasing the tacit understanding between the two is also part of our job as agents."

"So, Teacher Lin Tian, ​​if you are willing to join us, I will do my best to help you and Teacher Gan Yanyu be together."
