The atmosphere in the meeting room was slightly eerie.
There weren't many people present. Besides Zheng Jing and Luo Qi, who were regulars in the conference room, Sun Youlin and Shen Yun came. Zhou Rongze hesitated for a moment, but still called Ye Yinhui and Xu Huijing over.
When Lin Rui came in with the sheet music, he glanced at the scene and asked in confusion, "Is this all the people who came?"
Zhou Rongze didn't react at first, but Zheng Jing and Luo Qi immediately got excited.
"Xiao Rui, who's missing? I'll go call them now."
"Li Mubai, Xiao Jingyu, Zheng Jiayou, Wen Wenxuan, Chi Tianju."
Lin Rui glanced at Ye Yinhui and Xu Huijing, then suddenly slapped his forehead: "Right, let's call Han Jiayu too."
After saying that, Lin Rui turned and left. He needed to go back to his office to make some more preparations.
What a grand display!
Is this going to turn the world upside down?
Even Han Jiayu is getting involved?
The people in the room looked at each other, all quite surprised by Lin Rui's actions, yet also filled with a strong sense of anticipation.
When Lin Rui returned to the conference room, Li Mubai and the others had all arrived. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the sheet music in Lin Rui's hand.
"President Xu told me that the Third and Fourth Regions have joined forces, and it seems they're targeting me."
Lin Rui's opening remarks caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically.
Good heavens!
Eight states unite to attack?
This scale is worlds apart from the joint attack on Tianrui by the major entertainment companies in Xiazhou back then!
Zhou Rongze and the others looked solemn as they looked at the sheet music in Lin Rui's hand again. Only then did they understand why Lin Rui had made such a big fuss.
Including Chen Tianye, Tianrui now has a total of six top producers and no fewer than fifteen senior producers. They are all working hard to find creative inspiration in order to provide works for the company's second and third-tier artists.
As for the works of top-tier celebrities and even superstars, they don't need to worry too much for now, because Tianrui has a powerful honorary advisor.
All eyes turned to Lin Rui, their trust evident in their expressions.
Lin Rui didn't stand on ceremony and simply pulled out a sheet from the sheet music.
"Sister Yun, this is yours."
Shen Yun quickly got up and walked to Lin Rui, steadily taking the sheet music from him.
The word "courage" immediately came to mind.
"Brother Sun, this is yours."
Lin Rui then pulled out another sheet of music and handed it to Sun Youlin, who had already walked up to him.
"Absolutely Devoted"!
After glancing at Xiao Jingyu, Zheng Jiayou, and the others, Lin Rui said, "The song I'm providing for you this time is still a duet."
When Lin Rui cast his gaze upon them, Xiao Jingyu, Zheng Jiayou, Wen Wenxuan, and Chi Tianju all stood up straight. Upon hearing this, they excitedly ran forward and happily took the sheet music to examine it immediately.
Meteor Shower!
Ignoring the eager Li Mubai and Han Jiayu, Lin Rui's gaze fell on Xu Huijing and Ye Yinhui, a faint smile appearing on his face: "I have prepared a duet for the two of you."
Xu Huijing's eyes lit up. Her song "Always Quiet" is currently ranked second on the charts. She has a deep and sincere empathy for the songs produced by Lin Rui.
As for Ye Yinhui, after noticing that Xu Huijing's popularity in Xiazhou and Wanzhou was growing, he guessed that it was due to the popularity of the song "Always Quiet". In the past two days, he had been thinking about asking Lin Rui to write a song for him. Who would have thought that his wish would come true before he even asked.
The two of them didn't stand on ceremony. After taking the sheet music from Lin Rui, they also saw the song title.
Good Heart Breakup!
Lin Rui now has two sheet music pages left.
Turning his head to look at Li Mubai, who was staring at him expectantly, Lin Rui said calmly, "Do you remember my first evaluation of you?"
"I've never been in a relationship, so I don't understand feelings."
Li Mubai instinctively replied, then looked wary: "You're not trying to set me up with someone, are you?"
"Dream on. Your dad does want to find you a wife, but unfortunately, the one who should have been your mother-in-law didn't take a liking to you."
"So, you'd better step up, you know?"
Lin Rui patted Li Mubai on the shoulder meaningfully: "Go watch a romance movie these days, but of course, don't watch the kind that's all about family reunions."
At this point, Lin Rui looked at Luo Qi and said, "Sister Qi, find him some stories of life and death, infidelity, and the like, the more melodramatic the better."
"Received! Plenty to eat!"
Seeing Lin Rui chatting and laughing with Luo Qi, Li Mubai turned pale with fright, and suddenly he didn't want to sing anymore.
"I believe in you."
Lin Rui patted Li Mubai again and handed him the sheet music.
Li Mubai looked closely and two words came into view.
Xia Sha!
Before Li Mubai could even warm up the sheet music, Luo Qi pulled him away. Was she going to personally supervise the performance?
Ignoring Li Mubai's mournful expression, Lin Rui looked at Han Jiayu, who had been looking restrained and uneasy throughout.
Back then, this freshman king of graduation season was unparalleled in his charm. He quickly became popular with "You Are the Apple of My Eye" but soon fell into silence. The outside world's evaluation of him was more of a flash in the pan.
But Lin Rui understood that Han Jiayu was capable, but he was like a quiet boy next door, giving people the feeling that he had almost no presence.
Calling him a "Buddhist-like" artist is an inaccurate assessment. Since he chose to be in the entertainment industry, he must be either seeking fame or profit. Therefore, Lin Rui ultimately summarized it in one word.
lazy.
Seeing that Lin Rui was just staring at him without saying a word, Han Jiayu became even more uneasy.
"This song is yours. Once you're familiar with it, there's a part that's the soul of the song, and I'll give you some guidance. With your abilities, you should be more than capable of handling the rest."
"What you need to do right now is to carefully savor the feelings that these lyrics are trying to express. I also believe that this song is very suitable for you right now."
Lin Rui handed the last sheet of music to Han Jiayu, who accepted it almost with a bow.
Excitement mixed with curiosity, Han Jiayu secretly glanced at the song title.
A Person Like Me!
Lin Rui glanced at the people present, frowned slightly, and then looked at Zhou Rongze, who was doing nothing.
"Mr. Zhou, I've discovered a problem."
"What's the problem?"
Zhou Rongze was taken aback. To be honest, sitting here, he was a complete idler.
A dignified CEO can't even get a word in edgewise!
Don't you think our company is predominantly male-dominated?
As soon as he said that, everyone in the room had a strange expression.
Everyone looked at each other, and were all taken aback.
Good heavens, it really is!
The only female character that Tianrui can currently boast about is Shen Yun!
Although Hsu Hui-ching recently joined Tianrui, she is not a singer by profession, so her appearances here are more of a guest role.
Zhou Rongze also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he frowned slightly as he looked at Zheng Jing.
Zheng Jing is quite innocent. The company had a lot of female artist resources back then, but when He Qing left the company, he took almost all of Tianrui's excellent female artist resources with him.
Although many talented female artists were recruited later, most of them had mediocre reputations. They were good at smiling, but their real skills were lacking. At least Zheng Jing felt that those pretty faces were not qualified to be here.
She knew that Lin Rui was picky about singers, and even Han Jiayu hadn't received much attention. She had discussed this with Luo Qi, and in the end, they both felt that it was best to let things take their natural course.
"Xiao Rui, do you have any good advice regarding female celebrities?"
"For example, someone with good temperament?"
"Or is it because of a sweet voice?"
"Or perhaps she has an outstanding figure..."
Before Zheng Jing could finish speaking, Zhou Rongze, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.
"What kind of nonsense is this!"
Are you looking for a celebrity, or someone to accompany you for meals, drinks, and entertainment?
Zheng Jing looked completely innocent and remained silent.
Lin Rui glanced back and forth between Zheng Jing and Zhou Rongze, then silently left the meeting room.
A few minutes later, Lin Rui returned to the conference room with a sheet of music.
It's clear that Zheng Jing received a severe scolding from Zhou Rongze in those few minutes.
"Let them audition for this song, everyone has a chance, then I'll record them and choose the ones I want to sing."
"I only have one requirement: they cannot be over twenty years old."
Everyone instinctively looked at the sheet music.
