Chapter 5 Season Rankings
Lin Xi couldn’t laugh or cry: “So the way you want to help me is to learn composition by yourself?”
“Yes.” Lin Zhibai said.
"That's right." Lin Xi tried to give his brother some common sense in the industry: "We all say that composers have the highest status in the music world, but in fact they refer to composers with gold medals and above."
“Is there any level?”
Lin Zhibai was stunned for a moment.
Why does it sound like a fantasy novel?
Lin Xi shook his head, "It's not a formal official classification, it's just a saying in our industry. It's like we usually say who is the boss. The so-called gold medal refers to those composers who have entered the top ten of the season list at least ten times. Man, you don’t need any more explanation from me about the season rankings, right?”
Lin Zhibai nodded.
There are eight continents in Blue Star.
The so-called season charts are the highest music charts in the music circles in various continents.
The population of Qinzhou, where Lin Zhibai is located, has exceeded 2.3 billion this year, and there are so many composer practitioners. It can be seen that those so-called gold medal composers are indeed very powerful. After all, not everyone can enter the Qinzhou season more than ten times. Top ten on the list.
"but…"
Lin Xi looked at Lin Zhibai: "You are majoring in art history in college. I was also majoring in the same field back then. You will indeed be exposed to some composition knowledge in your college courses in the next few years. Learn more about it in the future. Don't I feel that I will be able to compose music after learning piano and guitar when I was a child. In this day and age, my family has good financial conditions, so I basically learned these things when I was a child."
“I want to try.”
Lin Zhibai insisted: "The song has been written."
It's not that Lin Zhibaitoutie, he also knows that every word of his sister is good advice, but who allows him to be systematic?
“I figured it out.”
Lin Xi’s eyes were full of doting: “You and I have been going around in circles for a long time, didn’t we just want to use my sister’s back door?”
“This is really unpleasant to say.”
Lin Zhibai suddenly had a look of disgust on his face. Can he ask to go through the back door when it comes to his family? This was obviously through the front door.
"Fine."
Lin Xi waved her hand casually and said: "Since you want to mess with it, I'll let you mess with it once. So what. Sister, I still have this power, but don't expect to find any famous singer to cooperate with you, let alone get it. No matter how much resources are used for promotion, even though I am the director of the Thirteenth Music Department of Shinhwa Entertainment, I cannot break the rules too obviously. Being caught is a minor matter, but it would be terrible to lose the prestige and popularity of the supervisor."
“Then who should I ask to sing?”
Lin Zhibai has never studied vocal music, and he doesn’t want to embarrass millions of sound editors, so as not to waste good works. Besides, he also wants to go to college well. It would be good to do some behind-the-scenes work before graduation. As for what he wants to do after graduation. I'm not sure yet, I'll wait and see what will be more beneficial to me in winning the Myth.
“Tool man.”
Lin Xi shrugged, and immediately realized that Lin Zhibai might not understand this industry slang, and explained: "They are just some new singers who have not officially debuted. I have found six in my department. If you are free, and I’ll go to the company to choose.”
“Just tomorrow.”
Lin Zhibai doesn’t mind whether the singer is famous or not, the threshold of Shinhwa Entertainment is right there.
Even if you are a new singer who has not yet debuted in the company, you must have strong professional standards to get into the company.
“Okay, okay, withdraw.”
Lin Xi stood up and said, “Go and get some beauty sleep.”
She didn’t take the song Lin Zhibai was about to write to heart at all.
The performance of a music company depends almost entirely on the performance of the composers.
But if songwriting was really that simple, I wouldn’t have to worry about the performance of the department.
…
The next day.
Lin Zhibai took Lin Xi’s car to Shinhwa Entertainment.
The Shinhwa Entertainment building is located in the Qinzhou Sioux City Science and Technology Park, about 35 kilometers away from Lin Zhibai's home. There is a subway station nearby. Naturally, he has been to this company where his whole family works before, but not often. , not particularly familiar.
The fifty-fifth floor of the building.
There are also three floors underground.
The total construction area exceeds 100,000 square meters!
This is Shinhwa's self-built office building. It has a history of more than 20 years. The shape of the building still looks novel, and the internal functions are also very complete. It is almost one of the representative buildings in the science and technology park. It has a security team. Round the clock patrol.
Lin Xi parked the car directly in the parking lot.
Taking the elevator upstairs, Lin Xi introduced the company with a smile: "The Shinhwa headquarters is bigger than here. I will take you to see it when I have the opportunity in the future. But this is Shinhwa's second building and it is also the core industry of the Lin family. I He works on the thirteenth floor, and your second brother’s variety show Eight is on the thirty-eighth floor, but he went on a business trip to Qizhou and hasn’t come back yet.”
“What’s taking so long?”
Lin Zhibai felt that his second brother had been gone for many days.
Lin Xidao: "It seems that I have fallen in love with a variety show in Qizhou, and I want to buy the copyright and introduce it to Qinzhou, but there are many things that have not been agreed upon, so it has been delayed for so many days."
"Um."
Lin Zhibai nodded and suddenly thought that the system warehouse also had a variety show column.
"My father is a director and is usually away from the company. My mother doesn't go to work. She just has a job and only shows up during department meetings. No one says much anyway. Maybe many people are happy to see her not working." Lin Xi pouted.
The elevator was relatively smooth but at a good speed. It quickly reached the thirteenth floor.
“Minister.”
“Hello, Minister.”
“Good morning, Director Lin.”
Employees passing by all greeted Lin Xi, their faces were not formal, and they even had smiles on their faces.
Lin Xi also smiled back.
This surprised Lin Zhibai. He originally thought that his sister was a cold leader, but he didn't expect that she was very popular in the department and seemed to be quite approachable.
Of course, these employees also saw Lin Zhibai next to Lin Xi, but their eyes did not explore too much. They just thought it was some new person in the department, who looked like an idol singer.
This is an entertainment company.
The most indispensable thing for entertainment companies is handsome men and beautiful women. Even the appearance of ordinary employees is mostly better than that of passers-by.
“I’ll have someone take you to the recording studio.”
Lin Xi went to the office: "Let's have fun by ourselves. Don't talk about our relationship. It's too ostentatious and will have a bad influence."
"OK."
Lin Zhibai nodded, a little confused: "Then my surname is Lin, won't others think too much?"
Lin Xi laughed.
"If you knew how many people named Lin were working in this Shinhwa Entertainment building, you wouldn't think so. Our Lin family is such a big family and has been spreading for generations. There are so many people named Lin, old and young, so there are so many people named Lin. In this company, there will be no special preferential treatment, unless you are the father's direct relative, which of course you are, but if you don't publicize it, no one will know, and the big directors in the company will also bring people in, many of them Everyone has some background, which means that everyone has no background."
Lin Zhibai suddenly understood.
Then my sister sent an employee to take Lin Zhibai into the recording studio.
In the shed.
The sound engineer is sitting in the recording studio listening to music with headphones.
Seeing Lin Zhibai come in, the sound engineer took off his headphones and said hello:
“Teacher Lin, right?”
"Hello."
Lin Zhibai was very polite. Even if his sister didn't remind him, he wouldn't act like the third generation of the Lin family.
“I’ll record the song.”
“I’ve received a notification from the department, please send me the sample.”
"OK."
Songs in the system warehouse can be directly exported as song demos.
However, the system also explained to Lin Zhibai that this was only temporary. In the future, he must learn to compose music by himself, and he must make demos and other things by himself.
Sending will be completed soon.
After receiving the demo, the sound engineer looked at the title of the song, "Eliminate Sorrow", and it seemed quite literary.
"I listen."
As he spoke, the sound engineer plugged in the headphones on his cell phone.
This demo is quite rough, with electronically synthesized sound effects and no personal voice. It sounds cold and the melody is very simple. But overall, after listening to it, it feels surprisingly good, especially the lyrics. His eyes lit up.
“Not bad.”
The sound engineer smiled and said: "The lyrics are great!"
Lin Zhibai nodded, but he also knew that the other party's words were mostly polite.
It's not that "Xiaochou" is not good, but you can't really hear much from just one demo. Moreover, the demo provided by the system even sounded perfunctory to Lin Zhibai, as if he was reluctant to direct it to him directly. .
“Where’s the arrangement?”
“An arrangement of my own design.”
"OK."
The recording engineer wasn’t too surprised. It’s normal for a composer to be able to arrange music.
Furthermore, Lin Zhibai is a novice, and the singer he chose is also a newbie. If there is no relationship with the above, it is difficult for this kind of combination to ask a very powerful arranger to help, so it is better to do it yourself.
At this time.
There is movement outside.
Several new singers have arrived.
