Despite his sister’s sudden interruption, the topic was skillfully brushed aside.
However, when Lin Yuan went upstairs after dinner, he couldn’t help but feel something was off about the way his sister looked at him.
He didn’t think much about it.
In the following days, Lin Yuan’s routine was normal. He read some books and attended school.
He also bought a bunch ofic creation tools online, but considering he might need an assistant in the future, Lin Yuan thought it might be inconvenient.
Was he supposed to invite the assistant to his own home?
He simply asked Gu Dong to find a ce that could serve as hisic studio.
Having an assistant was very convenient; at least Lin Yuan didn’t have to bother Senior Sun Yao Huo for every little thing.
He felt embarrassed always troubling others.
Gu Dong was efficacious. By April, she had found a studio near thepany.
“This is it.”
Lin Yuan looked around the environment and nodded.
Initially, Gu Dong wanted to ask what Lin Yuan was nning to do with the studio, but she swallowed her question and instead reminded Lin Yuan, “The drama group is about to wrap up filming.”
Lin Yuan nodded.
Gu Dong continued, “Xue Liang’s new song has been released. It is currently the fifth on the April new song list. Unfortunately, the singer he coborated with is just an ordinary second-tier. If it was a top-tier singer, this song could have made it into the top three.”
Lin Yuan nodded again.
The song Xue Liang wrote was not bad. After all, his level was not lower than that of the top-tier. In fact, Lin Yuan noted that his music prestige value had been rising.
It was all thanks to Xue Liang’s song “Forest”.
What Lin Yuan didn’t know was…
Since Xue Liang was Xian Yu’s apprentice, the industry was curious and wanted to know the standard of an apprentice taught by Xian Yu.
As a result, when the song “Forest” was released, many people were shocked.
Those who knew their music could recognize theposition standard of this song!
“Isn’t this the level of a top-tierposer?”
“But this Carp, isn’t he a rookie?”
“Is it really a case of the apple not falling far from the tree?”
“Can Xian Yu already teach apprentices to be top-tierposers?”
“Isposition that easy to teach?”
“It’s just one song, we can’t rule out the possibility of a fluke. We still have to observe.”
“Could Xian Yu have also contributed to theposition?”
II II
The industry’s reaction was mostly of surprise and uncertainty. If Xian Yu could teach an apprentice to be a top-tierposer, it would indeed be terrifying!
Composition isn’t something that can be easily taught to a high standard.
Even a maestro-levelposer wouldn’t dare to say they could definitely teach an apprentice to be a top-tierposer, right?
But what’s undeniable is…
Theposer Carp, who also belongs to the “fish” generation, has begun to gain recognition in both Qin Continent and Qi Province.
Some people even dug up Carp’s previous works.
Xue Liang, whoposed under the name Carp, did notpletely hide his identity.
As a result,paring Carp’s earlier works, people in the industry were even more surprised.
“Did one person write this song?”
“Carp’s previous works and the one he published after bing Xian Yu’s apprentice arepletely different! They’re like night and day!”
“Did Xian Yu really teach all this?”
“In an interview yesterday, Carp said he’s only been studying with Xian Yu for less than a year.”
“Turns out, he’s a lucky Carp?”
Meanwhile, inside Starlight-
Seeing Carp’s excellent performance within the season, manyposers were shocked.
Didn’t everyone know Carp was from a branchpany?
And the level of thoseposers from the branchpany wasmon knowledge in the industry.
For a moment, people couldn’t tell if Xian Yu was an exceptional teacher or if Carp was naturally a genius, with Xian Yu just giving him a little nudge.
For the first time in his life, Xue Liang experienced flowers and apuse!
With his inaugural work released under the name Carp, he scored a huge sess, instantly bing a star figure in the Ninth Floor’sposition department!
At this moment, Xue Liang was thrilled and grateful.
What would his life have been like without his master?
Xue Liang didn’t dare to imagine, and thus he was increasingly grateful for his master’s kindness.
No matter how the outside world spected, Xue Liang knew clearly in his heart that his sess was all due to his master’s excellent teachings!
Including when his colleagues within the department asked, Xue Liang gave the same answer.
Otherwise, he would not have used the word “Carp” as hisposer identity.
As such, when Lin Yuan came to thepany again, Xue Liang specially bought him a good quality tea. He had already made inquiries, Deputy Manager Wu Yong told Xue Liang that Mr. Lin was a fan of tea.
At this time,
Lin Yuan, naturally, was extremely satisfied with Xue Liang’s performance. He even had the impulse to immediately take on another apprentice!
The effects of Yang Zhongming’s character card and Teacher’s Halo were really good to use..
However, he didn’t immediately get to this task.
There were many people in the department, Lin Yuan nned to consider the candidates and then decide who would be the second apprentice.
As for Xue Liang…
Lin Yuan did not directly give him a free flow; he decided that when Xue Liang had a new song to release in the future, he would use Yang Zhongming’s character card and then give him pointers on hispositions.
Lin Yuan asked the System.
Although he couldn’t use Yang Zhongming’s character card topose, after his apprentice finished a piece, he could use Yang Zhongming’s character card to give some suggestions, which was not an issue.
As for the tea from Xue Liang, Lin Yuan did ept it.
No one mes a person for being overly polite.
Moreover, this was a gift from his apprentice.
Just as Xue Liang had walked out of the office, Wu Yong came in and asked, “Mr. Lin, are you nning on making any moves soon?”
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
He didn’t have a song to release recently.
Wu Yong grimaced, “Xue Liang got the fifth ce, which is good, but now the market is changing so fast, haven’t you seen the new song chart for this season?”
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Wu Yong helplessly said, “The top song is from Thunderbolt Entertainment, the second is from Seven Star Entertainment, and the third is from Linfeng, a newly established entertainmentpany, but they have strong capital behind them…”
“The old top three from Qin Continent didn’t make it into the top three?”
Lin Yuan finally realized the crux of the matter.
Wu Yong nodded heavily, “The best result from Starlight is Xue Liang’s fifth ce, the forth is Silver Light, and Sand Sea has fallen to the ninth ce. Thepanies are shuffling their decks. The authority of us, Starlight, and the other two old rivals in the music scene, are declining…”
“Because of personnel changes?”
Lin Yuan knew about the situation ofpanies poaching one another’s talent previously.
Wu Yong exined, “Yes, all of them have trumpposers now. Although Starlight has a few Maestros sitting in our camp, these few Maestros aren’t fast atposing. They have very high requirements for the quality of songs, if they are not sure of securing the first ce, they basically won’t release songs.”
“I also don’t n to release any songs recently.”
Lin Yuan cut off Wu Yong’s expectations, because he was running low on money on his card. He’d been spending a lottely, so he had to reserve some funds for unexpected needs.
“Alright…”
Wu Yong hesitated for a moment and said, “So when will you be able to release a song? If Maestro doesn’t make a move, Starlight really needs you to step forward. Otherwise, if our season ranking doesn’t go up in a few months, we will let thepanies from Qi Province and some newpanies take the lead. This will affect the prestige and morale of our wholeposition department.””
“Let’s wait and see. How many trumpposers do we have left?”
“Not many, currently there are thirty-eight in total.”
“So many have left?”
The previous Starlight had far more than just this number of trumpposers.
Wu Yong exined, “Although we have lost arge number of trumpposers, we have also poached a lot of television and film talents. No one can take advantage from a global perspective, so the current market is so unpredictable.”
Lin Yuan understood.
He decided to wait a bit longer.
It’s better to release a song after the situation gradually clears up. He can’t release a song every month, so try to choose a key moment to release a song. Besides, he is really busy at the moment. As always, one thing at a time.
Next, releasing aic seems a better move.
He has already created a Tribe ount, just waiting for his assistant to take their position..
