After the previous meeting, the top leader called so many shareholders to his office, which was actually a way of figuring out how to handle the situation.
The top leader's meaning is quite clear.
Li Zhaoyang has an exceptional talent for songwriting and composing. With just two songs released, he has generated revenue equivalent to at least 20 works.
Such a genius doesn't want to give up.
Before the top leader could come up with a solution with the shareholders, Li Zhaoyang stepped forward.
"Here's the thing, let me first let the chairman and all the shareholders listen to Zhaoyang's new song file."
Song Yuqin's phone screen remained on the encrypted file in her email.
There was no singing, only slowly scrolling lyrics and melody.
The love song "Decent" is positioned as a sad song, and its overall style is very easy to resonate with most people. Coupled with its gentle and melodious sad melody, it adds a touch of carefree feeling to the whole song.
The shareholders were also drawn to the beautiful melody. Although recording had not yet begun, the overall melody and lyrics conveyed the regret of a heartbroken person for lost love.
After listening to the report once, the top leader sat back in his office chair and reminded him, "Send the document over."
"Okay." After Song Yuqin sent the encrypted file, the top leader played the song "Decent" on the highest-end sound system.
After listening to it a second time, the mood was brought out.
The leader saw in the lyrics Li Zhaoyang's serious attitude towards relationships. Even if a relationship that has come to an end cannot lead to marriage, at least it cannot become a bitter feud.
The current incident that Li Zhaoyang is experiencing is all too fitting for the times.
Should breakups be done gracefully?
No, Zhao Shanshan is telling you, even if we break up, she'll still try to ruin you!
In short, you can't let your ex have it too easy.
"The lyrics, music, melody, and artistic conception are all just right, summarizing a story clearly." Even though she is now over fifty and has spent half her life wandering, doesn't she still have her own spiritual sustenance?
However, in the early stages of his business, that young man had long since disappeared into the annals of time.
Looking back years later, they have already built a happy and fulfilling family.
"What a beautiful song!"
The top leader rarely uses the word "beautiful" to describe a song.
It just so happens that we've reached a point of sadness...
The shareholders present also witnessed Li Zhaoyang's talent in songwriting and composition.
If you write about relieving sorrow, it might be because your inspiration has exploded.
Three consecutive works have maintained an extremely high level of creative quality, which can no longer be described as a burst of inspiration.
Instead, it has real, high-quality materials.
Is it good or bad for someone like this to permanently retire from the Chinese music scene?
"Chairwoman," the female shareholder who had spoken earlier asked, "giving up on someone like this would be a huge loss to the Chinese music scene. Do we really want to give up on him?"
A general manager in a suit also spoke up for Li Zhaoyang: "Although I have never dealt with Li Zhaoyang, I have listened to his songs 'Sorrow' and 'Countdown,' and now this song 'Decent' which has not yet been recorded. I think he will be the youngest ace in the future, no less accomplished than Chen Shaoyan and Zhang Zhenyuan. Otherwise, he should just break ties with Xingtu."
“No, the cost of a complete falling out is too high. Starway is now on the side of the audience. To break ties with Starway would be tantamount to challenging the public.” One of the shareholders had a different opinion.
"Xiao Song." The top leader ignored the shareholders and instead looked at Yuqin, whom he had personally promoted, and asked, "At this critical juncture, why is Li Zhaoyang putting on a show of respect? What is his plan?"
Song Yuqin replied: "Tomorrow, following the announcement of his retirement from the entertainment industry, 'Dignity' should be considered his final work."
"What? Release this new song tomorrow? Won't we get roasted? The quality is so high, we might as well wait until things calm down before releasing it." The vice president had his own opinion: "Zhaoyang is a really good kid. We don't necessarily have to make him leave the industry. We can just give him a new identity. This time we'll do it secretly and guarantee that it won't be leaked to the outside world."
Song Yuqin's lips curled into a bitter smile as she shook her head: "Zhaoyang is heartbroken."
The vice president was about to say something, but then realized he didn't know where to begin, so he simply remained silent.
The top leader smiled and said, "My original plan was to send Li Zhaoyang to the Evening Glow branch to develop if we couldn't solve the problem in the end. Now it seems that this is the best way."
"Send them to a branch office for development?" The vice president's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."
Sunset Glow is a well-known name in the domestic music scene, and it also has business opportunities abroad.
It's not as good as what we have in China, but this is the only way for Li Zhaoyang to continue developing his music career.
"There's no better way than this," the general manager nodded in agreement.
If you develop your career at the Sunset branch, then you'll still be a member of the Sunset group.
"Since no one has any objections, Xiao Song, you should talk to Zhao Yang and see which branch he wants to work in. The company will arrange it for him."
"Yes, Chairman."
No wonder the vice president and Song Yuqin don't easily give up on anyone when they encounter problems.
So this is how the top leader does things.
After the incident, the first thought was not to kick Li Zhaoyang out, but to gather everyone together to come up with a solution.
If all else fails, the top leader's final plan is still not to remove the other person, but to reassign them to a branch office.
This kind of work style is what allows a company to thrive in the long run.
Conversely, companies that try to distance themselves and shift blame as soon as something goes wrong are the ones most likely to go astray.
...
Upon returning to the composition department, Song Yuqin immediately sought out Li Zhaoyang and explained the situation.
"Go to a branch office?"
Li Zhaoyang had this plan in mind: "Let's see how things go after this is over."
"Okay, shall we start recording the new song now?" Song Yuqin asked again.
“Well, but I don’t plan to record it at the company.” Li Zhaoyang recalled two videos that someone had filmed in the artist department before, and knew that someone in the company had been bribed by Starway.
Continuing to record at the company could easily lead to trouble.
His plan could be put into action tomorrow, and being all alone, he naturally had nothing to fear.
But Bian Ling'er is different. It's already quite remarkable that the girl would collaborate with me to record a song at this critical juncture.
"If you're not recording at the company, where are you going to record it?"
"The recording equipment I asked my supervisor to purchase has arrived. I've already converted my home study into a small recording studio. Although the environment is a bit small, the equipment is all high-quality and cost a lot of money. The effect is no worse than the company's."
Li Zhaoyang didn't skimp on the equipment; he spent a fortune purchasing top-of-the-line components to replicate the company's recording studio exactly.
"As long as there's a place to record, that's fine." Song Yuqin wasn't worried about the recording itself; her only concern was the potentially huge risks she might face tomorrow.
Even if Zhaoyang announces her retirement from the entertainment industry tomorrow, won't the public outcry escalate if she releases a new song before leaving?
After coming up with a respectable idea, Song Yuqin cleared her mind. Oh well, the company was going to send Zhaoyang to the branch office anyway, so those opinions didn't matter anymore.
She watched as that thin figure gradually disappeared at the end of the composition department corridor, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
It has only been less than two months since he was banned from being a singer, and so many upsetting things have happened.
that's all.
Song Yuqin stared blankly at the figure that had disappeared into the distance, and then, moved by a thought, she spoke:
"Zhaoyang, you will definitely become a famous songwriter in the future. It doesn't matter if there is no place for you in the Chinese music scene. There are plenty of places that can accommodate you... I have already remembered all the faces of those who told you to get out of the music industry. After you make a name for yourself abroad, I hope they won't be begging you to come back to the Chinese music scene to write songs."
After taking the elevator downstairs.
Li Zhaoyang then sent a text message to Bian Ling'er on his phone:
"Come to my house in half an hour to record a new song. There are too many people and too many eyes at the company. Here is the address..."
