Lin Yu really felt that Xue Kai's words were correct, so he kept nodding in cooperation.

Xue Kai's eyes widened in embarrassment, and his goatee trembled.

He never thought that someone who could write "Someone Like Me" would be so young.

Those who are really engaged in music actually value the songwriter of a good song more than the singer. So when Ou Xiaojuan showed him the video, he just clicked on the video and listened to the song without looking at the people in the video at all.

"Sorry, brother, I thought you were new."

Lin Yu smiled and waved his hand, "You are right, I am the newcomer."

Xue Kai laughed carelessly, "If the newcomers had your level of wealth and strength, Shengkong wouldn't spend money on the rookie list for two years."

Qian Yu coughed twice and winked at Xue Kai.

Although Lin Yu is already a member of the company, he has just joined the company, so it is a bit inappropriate to say certain things in front of him, and he always feels that he will lose the company's face.

Xue Kai saw Qian Yu winking at the side and laughed twice, "Pretend I didn't say anything, let's start recording songs."

Recording the song went very smoothly.

Originally, the singer would record the song and the songwriter and arranger would be there to guide the singer in singing. After all, the emotion expressed in the song needs to be expressed by the singer.

But because Lin Yu was the composer, composer, and arranger of this song, and now he is the singer himself, Xue Kai can just be responsible for the most basic recording.

Lin Yu is a professional to begin with, and with his good voice, there is no problem with his pitch.

Xue Kai rubbed his chin, "If all the singers in Shengkong can reach Brother Lin's standards, how wonderful our work will be."

"It's time for the sound engineer to be laid off." It was also the first time for Qian Yu to meet a singer who recorded so smoothly. He admired Ou Xiaojuan's vision in his heart. There were too few newcomers like this in the entertainment industry.

Ou Xiaojuan had just finished the meeting and hurried to the 20th floor. She happened to see Lin Yu, Qian Yu and Xue Kai chatting outside the recording studio.

Secretly he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I caught up."

She came down in a hurry just to watch Lin Yu record a song.

Qian Yu saw Ou Xiaojuan and hurried over to say hello.

"Fortunately, I came down in time, and you guys were still taking a break." Recording songs is inherently a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Many singers are not in good condition, and it may happen after several days of recording.

Xue Kai laughed heartily.

Qian Yu also showed a strange expression.

Ou Xiaojuan looked at them strangely, "What's wrong?"

"We are not taking a break, the game is over." Xue Kai said carelessly.

"Is it over?" Ou Xiaojuan couldn't believe her ears.

Although the top management did not hold a tractor meeting this time, it was definitely not short. How could it end so quickly?

Although Xue Kai does not have any official position, he is senior in the company and is about the same age as her. He never thinks twice about what he says and sometimes makes jokes.

Ou Xiaojuan didn't quite believe what he said and looked at Qian Yu with questioning eyes.

"Sister Xiaojuan, we have indeed finished recording. You are late." Qian Yu saw his immediate boss's shocked expression and found it a bit funny, but he did not have Xue Kai's courage and did not dare to laugh at his boss in front of his face.

Ou Xiaojuan was a little disappointed, but she was very pleased.

Her vision was right, and the decisions she made before were all right. She admired Lin Yu more and more. This child will definitely develop in the future.

You must know that Xue Kai talks crazy things on the surface, but he is very strict about recording songs. Many first-line singers are not in good condition, and he will grind them over and over again without giving them any face at all.

There can only be one reason why Lin Yu could complete the song recording so quickly.

Lin Yu is really strong.

After the song is recorded, it’s time to enter the signing stage.

The previous signing was Lin Yu’s contract as an artist.

The so-called 50-50 opening refers to all future business activities.

But each song needs to sign a separate contract, because all the copyright income after the release of a song, including the songwriter, arranger, and singer, all have to be divided, so a separate contract needs to be signed.

Ou Xiaojuan made two phone calls.

Colleagues from the finance and legal departments quickly rushed to the 20th floor.

"Here is the contract. What needs to be made clear is that 80% of the song belongs to your company, because post-production, promotion, and distribution all require manpower and material resources. 20% goes to the songwriter, arranger, and singer."

Lin Yu knows the rules of the industry.

In a song, the composer has the highest status, because the melody is very important to the quality of the song, followed by the lyricist, and finally the arranger. The arranger is equivalent to giving a woman a makeup that is more suitable for her, making her more beautiful.

Beautiful, but first of all she is a beauty.

Compared with songwriters and arrangers, singers have great flexibility. First-line singers can negotiate the price with the company and may receive more money. However, new singers have no points and can only receive 0.5 of the 20% and the remaining 1.5.

The share will be divided proportionally between the songwriters and arrangers.

Even so, many singers can still rely on one popular song for a lifetime.

"The lyrics, music, arrangement and singing of this song are all yours, so except for the 80% that the company takes away, the other 20% is yours. All future income related to the song will be distributed in this way. If you think it is okay, you can come here

Sign it." The colleague from the legal department introduced the contract mechanically, and then pointed at the place where the signature should be signed.

Lin Yu thinks it's quite reasonable. In the future, as long as he keeps writing songs, he can make money steadily.

After Lin Yu signed, the colleagues from the finance and legal departments took the contract and left.

"After the contract is signed, we will put your song on the market. Today is the 13th and it will be released tomorrow." Ou Xiaojuan vowed.

"Sister Xiaojuan, it's already halfway through this month. It's hard to compete for the new song list." Qian Yu said worriedly.

Every month, major entertainment companies will release new songs, which will dominate the new song charts.

In the past, Shengkong could compete for a place in the top three every month, but now only the first-line singers in the company can compete, and others basically have no chance.

After finally signing an outstanding talent like Lin Yu, Qian Yu wanted to cover it up, as he will be competing for the new song chart next month.

Ou Xiaojuan shook her head, "No, Lin Yu is still popular on the Internet. Originally, the popularity of short videos came and went quickly. People paid attention to Lin Yu before because they didn't know who he was. People like to explore all unknown things.

.

But the news that our company signed Lin Yu has been exposed on the Internet, and Lin Yu has become less mysterious. If we don’t pursue the victory now and wait for Lin Yu’s popularity to subside, we will lose a group of traffic fans.”

Although Ou Xiaojuan believes in Lin Yu's strength, he doesn't need to rely on traffic to make a living, but if he has traffic, it will be useless if he doesn't use it.

Qian Yu felt that what the boss said made sense and nodded in agreement.

Of course, there are pros and cons to doing this. The pros is that it can take advantage of the popularity of Lin Yu’s videos.

The disadvantage is that it only entered the new song chart on the 14th, and it is very likely that it will not even enter the top ten.

An opportunity to compete for the rankings was wasted.

Ou Xiaojuan knows that it is impossible for a good composer to produce good works all the time. A work of this caliber like "Someone Like Me" is likely to be the only one in his lifetime.

Lin Yu couldn't write a song by himself, so he had to cooperate with other songwriters in the company. No one knows what his results will be. He may never have a chance to compete in the charts in his life. This may happen.

But she still wanted to win.

"Lin Yu, are you confident?"

Lin Yu smiled flatly, "I can do either."

...

Jiangcheng.

Aesthetic animation production company.

Lu Qing turned his hair anxiously, and when he saw a few black hairs falling slowly, he was heartbroken and quickly took his hands back from the few remaining hairs.

Although China's entertainment industry is developing rapidly, the animation industry has been very sluggish.

The Aimei Animation Production Company, which was already suffering from poor profitability, is now even more troubled.

The manager said that if he could no longer produce animated films that could turn the company around, the company would declare bankruptcy.

All the capable colleagues in the company have left, and now the only animation director remaining is Lu Qing.

He is very confident in his professional skills, but good works are not easy to come by.

Nowadays, everyone has extremely high requirements for animated movies. They must not only cater to the tastes of children, but also cater to the tastes of adults.

After all, the real main force at the box office is the adults.

But where can I find such a script?

Most of the capable screenwriters have left, and now the newcomers are sticking to their posts...

Lu Qing shook his head helplessly.
Chapter completed!
