Chapter 105 Status Difference

"good!"

“Welcome new members!”

After Zhang Sihui's introduction, all the lyricists at their workstations applauded and welcomed her.

Lin Zhixing counted them and found that there were twelve lyricists in total. They all looked very young, around 30 years old, and the oldest was only in his early 40s.

At this age, people still have a strong desire to create and are at the peak of their creative abilities. They all hope to create something famous, so it is quite reasonable for the company to recruit so many people.

There are a few empty seats at the workstation by the window, and there are things on the table. They should be lyricists with some skills who don't come here often. Due to the special nature of their job, as long as they can create profits for the company, I believe the company will not be too demanding.

Now is the time for me to say something.

Lin Zhixing thought for a moment, and after the applause stopped, he smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I am honored to join Yida Records and become your colleague."

"Sister Hui just praised me too much. I'm actually not that good. I've been influenced by my grandfather since I was a child and I like poetry and songs. Maybe I have some talent in this area. I won the competition by chance with this poem."

"I feel like I'm still a newcomer in terms of lyrics and music. I hope to learn a lot here and make progress together with everyone. Thank you all!"

Led by Zhang Sihui, applause broke out again.

Young people, especially those who have achieved some success, are inevitably a little arrogant. Lin Zhixing said this very humbly, and she liked this humble attitude very much.

"Okay, let's continue working!"

After a brief introduction, Zhang Sihui and Lin Zhixing left the lyric writing department.

Looking at the two people leaving, several lyricists began to discuss in a low voice.

"He was so crazy on the show, but I didn't expect he's so low-key in real life!"

"You just watch TV for fun, the shows are just full of characters."

"He's still low-key? Being low-key is the best way to show off. He uses the word 'lucky' so well, as if he won just by doing it casually, it wasn't difficult at all!"

The people in the lyric writing department had polarized first impressions of Lin Zhixing. Some people thought he was quite humble and low-key, while others thought he was arrogant.

Those who think he is crazy have one thing in common: they also signed up for the lyrics competition.

The two walked towards the elevator.

Lin Zhixing turned around and glanced at the lyric writing department, and asked curiously, "Sister Hui, can I ask a gossip question? How much do these lyricists earn per month?"

Zhang Sihui explained: "The basic salary ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan, and it's different for each person. Income also needs to be added with the share of the work, which can be high or low. The treatment is relatively generous, but compared with the composition department, there is still a gap."

Lin Zhixing nodded and expressed his understanding after listening.

As for lyric writing, if the lyricist is not famous, the price of a song cannot be sold too high, so this treatment is really good.

“That’s right!”

Zhang Sihui pressed the "Down" button and suddenly remembered, "Xiao Lin, Brother Cong is not in the company today. He said he would hold a welcome party the day after tomorrow to celebrate your victory."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary..."

Lin Zhixing really didn't expect that he still remembered it.

Zhang Sihui smiled and shook her head, emphasizing: "How can that be possible? You are an artist that our company focuses on training!"

"Thank you for your kindness."

Lin Zhixing smiled and shook his head.

"One more thing."

Zhang Sihui walked into the elevator and pressed the buttons for the eighth and first floors. "Regarding the album, Cong Ge wants you to release it as soon as possible while it's still hot. The recording studio company already has one, and the company has already started preparing to shoot the song MV."

"Yeah, okay."

Lin Zhixing nodded. He also thought that the sooner the better. "I'll go back and tell Song Ge. Let's do it tomorrow. We'll record it tomorrow."

The elevator stopped on the eighth floor.

Zhang Sihui looked at her watch and didn't follow him down. "Xiao Lin, I have to pick someone up. You can leave anytime you want today. Call me if you need anything!"

"good."

In the office on the eighth floor.

"I'm back!"

Lin Zhixing pushed open the office door. Song Ge was watering the flowers with a watering can, while Dong Chen and Ji Yu were sitting on the sofa, each holding a cell phone.

"You're back so soon? How's the lyrics department?" Dong Chen asked curiously.

Lin Zhixing nodded affirmatively. "It's great. As expected of a dad who's in the real estate business, a small record company has been set up in such a nice building."

Dong Chen sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "No, they were born in Rome, but we were born mules and horses!"

Ji Yu smiled, pointed at the wooden desk, and said in a coquettish tone: "Brother Lin, please arrange a desk 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 and sat down in the boss chair. He took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and plugged it into the computer, then opened the folder of "A Glimpse of Beauty".

I plan to let them practice this song well and then release both albums together.

"Brother Lin, look at this!"

Dong Chen walked up to Lin Zhixing and handed him the phone.

Lin Zhixing took the phone and took a look. It was the Weibo hot search list.

[The digital album of superstar Tung Tak-wah, "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry", will be released on the Penguin Music platform at 12 noon tomorrow. 】

[The movie "Rebirth to Middle Age" starring superstar Tung Tak-wah will be released in major theaters across the country at 24:00 tonight. 】

These two topics took the first and second place on the hot search list, both becoming extremely popular, with over 200,000 likes and over 50,000 comments, and fans were extremely excited.

"Brother Hua, five years, you know how I've been spending these five years! You finally released a new song!"

“Even though the album only has one song, I’m so happy!”

"I'm more looking forward to the movie. Hua Ge hasn't acted in a comedy for ten years. The movie Tricky that he collaborated with the King of Comedy ten years ago was so funny."

"I want both. I'll watch the movie tonight and then take a nap and listen to music at noon tomorrow. It's so wonderful!"

Lin Zhixing returned the phone to Dong Chen.

Some time ago, we often saw Dong Dehua’s movie promotional songs on the hot searches, but we didn’t expect that it would be released in theaters in the blink of an eye.

The contract with the king of pop for the song "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" was 50-50. Lin Zhixing thought it was very beautiful. With the copyright of this song, he would definitely make a lot of money.

Dong Chen put his arm on his shoulders, smiled and raised his eyebrows and asked: "Brother Lin, don't you have any thoughts after reading it?"

Lin Zhixing looked up and asked, "What's your idea?"

Dong Chen curled his lips and said, "This song "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry" was written 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 the tickets for this premiere are too hard to buy. I'm waiting to see when I can get a ticket. 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 showed: "Brother Lin, this is a gift from me to you, do you know how hard it was for me to get it!"

“I’ll go!”

Lin Zhixing looked up in surprise and asked, "How did you do that?"

I heard the words "couple seat".

Song Ge, who was fiddling with the green plants, was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Dong Chen smiled and shook his head. "It was a very difficult process, so I won't talk about it anymore. Let's watch a movie together tonight to relax!"

It’s great. It’s much better to see the audience’s feedback on the show live than to read reviews.

"Xiao Ji!"

Lin Zhixing waved his hand and called Ji Yu to the computer. He pointed at the folder and said, "I'll give you a gift too. It's a song I created for both of you!"

"A song written for both of us?"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu looked at each other and were extremely excited. They had always been looking forward to following Brother Lin and fulfilling their dream of becoming a singer, but they didn't expect the new song to come out so soon.

Judging from the high quality of every song he sang since his first stage performance, the quality of this song will definitely not be bad.

"Yes, for both of you."

Lin Zhixing nodded with a smile and added: "Not only that, with the song "Sigh", I'm also planning to release a single album for the two of you!"

"Single album?"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu couldn't believe their ears. They thought it would be great if they could 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 smiled and pushed him aside, slid the mouse, and clicked on the demo song he had recorded in the folder.

"You two should listen to this song and decide whether to choose "A Stunning Look" or "Sigh" as the title song of your album. This song is a duet between a man and a woman. My singing is a bit forced, so just bear with it."

"good!"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu put away their smiles and listened attentively. Song Ge also came over and wanted to listen to their new song.

Music streamed from the speakers.

The sound of the guqin in the prelude was very beautiful and quickly caught their ears.

"Turning your hand makes clouds, turning your hand again makes rain"

"Retiring from the Golden Basin to Stop the Storm"

“I don’t love the world but I can’t let go of the memories”

"You are in every paragraph"

Chinese style male and female duet!

After hearing the first two sentences, Dong Chen's eyes lit up. There are very few songs with traditional Chinese style, and he has almost never seen a duet between a man and a woman with traditional Chinese style.

When giving a song, do you give away treasures directly?

"Hearing the harp under the willow trees, I danced to the tune"

"It seems to reflect the graceful figure of the past."

"Who stirred the affection with just a few words?"

"Whose smile shakes the nebula?"

Hearing this, a picture of a beautiful encounter emerged in their minds.

One is a handsome young man, the other is a charming young lady.

One is interested, and a few words can stir up ripples in the heart. One is affectionate, but a frown and a smile can't hide the shyness on the face.

What an exciting first encounter this is!

"What do I want in this life but you"

"Our first encounter in youth is always in my heart"

"Your love has not diminished over the years"

"How can the picturesque landscape be compared to this?"

"The scenery you gave me"

Dong Chen and Ji Yu were deeply attracted by this song.

The song hasn't even ended yet, but during the interlude, Ji Yu was already humming the female melody of the song in her heart.

The song ended with me still wanting more.

The two people stared at the computer screen in a daze, still unable to concentrate on the music.

The name "A Stunning Face" is so good. How can I describe the feeling after listening to it? It's probably...

When there is no love, you can hear the feeling of heartbeat.

"How is it? Not bad, right?"

Lin Zhixing looked at the two people who were in a daze and asked with a smile.

"This song is so good! Are you really going to sing it for both of us?"

Dong Chen widened his eyes and asked in excitement and disbelief.

"certainly."

Lin Zhixing nodded affirmatively, "The two of you should decide on the title song for the album later."

Dong Chen and Ji Yu looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

Although I haven't sung this song yet, I have already thought of the answer.

The song "Sigh" is very catchy and it has its merits in becoming popular on short videos, but compared with the song "A Glimpse of Beauty", there is a certain gap in both lyrics and music.

"A Glimpse of Beauty" can be said to be outstanding among its peers, but "Sigh" will definitely be questioned by some people, whether they are musicians or netizens.

Huang Ling herself once liked a netizen's comment "pornographic song" in the music comment section.

Considering the rarity of Chinese-style duets, the answer is obvious.

The two raised their lips and said in unison: "Brother Lin, let's choose this song "A Stunning Look" as the album's main title!"

The first floor lobby of Yida Records.

"Hello, Brother Miao!"

"Hey, Xiaohui!"

The man Zhang Sihui met was about fifty years old. He was wearing a loose vest and shorts, and the bald spot on his head was particularly obvious.

He is the famous lyricist "Miao Sheng" whom Wang Cong had worked hard to recruit. He had originally planned to compete with the three record giants in the lyrics competition with his works, but unfortunately the contract was not negotiated at the beginning.

In terms of fame in the lyricist circle, her fame is no less than that of Xiao Shiyi Niang. Although she is older now and produces fewer works every year, she is still a lyricist that many first-line singers want to work with.

Wang Cong offered him a pension contract with very good benefits. He only had to hand in four songs to the company every year, and he didn't have to go to work, but could work from home.

On average, he can write one song every three months without getting tired, and he can work from home, which is what attracted him.

He came here today just to sign a contract and get to know the place.

While chatting and laughing, the two came to the lyrics writing department.

"Everyone stop working for a moment, I'll introduce it to you!"

After gathering everyone's attention, Zhang Sihui introduced enthusiastically: "You may be familiar with this brother. I believe many people are familiar with his works. He is the 'Miaobisheng' Brother Miao Sheng!"

"Miaobisheng?"

"Did the wealthy Congge really invite him here?"

"That's amazing! The singers in the company are so lucky. If anyone can sing the songs he wrote, it will greatly increase their popularity!"

After hearing this name, the lyricists were stunned for a moment, then stood up and applauded to welcome it.

"Brother Miao, you are the lyricist I admire the most!"

"Brother Miao, I love your song "Meeting" so much. Can I take a photo with you?"

After applauding, several lyricists left their workstations and came forward to shake hands excitedly.

"Okay, okay."

Miao Sheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, we're all colleagues from now on, no need to be so polite!"

Zhang Sihui looked at the scene in front of her, and recalled that when Lin Zhixing came here just now, he was not as popular, and she frowned.

"Are you not convinced by your peers? Where is the respect you deserve for writing so many phenomenal works?"
