  Chapter 5 Season Ranking

  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 younger brother some common sense in the industry: "We all say that composers have the highest status in the music world, but in fact it refers to those composers with gold medals and above."

   "There are still levels?"

  Lin Zhibai froze for a moment.

  Why is it like a fantasy novel?

Lin Xi shook his head, "It's not a formal official grading, it's just a saying in our industry, like we usually say who is a big boss, the so-called gold medal refers to those composers who have entered the top ten of the season list at least ten times People, the season standings don't need me to explain more, do they?"

  Lin Zhibai nodded.

  Blue Star has eight continents.

  The so-called season list is the highest music list in each continent.

The population of Qinzhou where Lin Zhibai lives has exceeded 2.3 billion this year, and there are not 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.

"but…"

Lin Xi looked at Lin Zhibai: "You majored in Art History in your university, right? I also majored in this field back then. Your college courses in the next few years will indeed come into contact with some knowledge of composition. Learn more about it in the future, don't I feel that I can compose music after learning piano and guitar when I was a child. In this day and age, the family conditions are good, and I basically learned these when I was a child.”

   "I want to try."

  Lin Zhibai insisted: "The song has already been written."

   It's not Lin Zhibaitie, he also knows that every word of his sister is a good word, but who makes him have a system?

   "I figured it out."

  Lin Xi's eyes were doting: "You and I have been going around for a long time, don't you just want to go through the back door of my sister?"

   "That's really ugly."

  Lin Zhibai immediately looked disgusted, can he go through the back door for his family's affairs, this is obviously through the front door.

"Fine."

Lin Xi waved his hand casually and said: "Since you want to make a fuss, I'll let you make a fuss once. Sister still has this right, but you don't want to find any famous singer to cooperate with, let alone get it." How many resources to promote, even though I am the director of the thirteenth music department of Shinhwa Entertainment, I can't break the rules too obviously, being caught as a pigtail is nothing, but losing the prestige and popularity of the director is terrible."

   "Then who do I ask to sing?"

Lin Zhibai has never studied vocal music, and he doesn't want to embarrass millions of sound repairers, so as not to waste good works. Besides, he still 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, let's see how it is more beneficial for me to win Shinhwa.

   "Tool man."

Lin Xi shrugged, and immediately realized that Lin Zhibai might not be able to understand this kind of industry slang, and explained: "It's just some new singers who haven't officially debuted yet, and I just found six in my department. I'll go to the company to pick."

   "Just tomorrow."

  Lin Zhibai doesn't mind whether the singer is famous or not, the threshold of Shinhwa Entertainment is there.

  Even if it is a new singer who has not yet debuted in the company, the professional level must be excellent to enter.

   "Okay, okay, withdraw."

  Lin Xi got up, "Go to beauty sleep."

  She didn't take the song Lin Zhibai wanted to write to heart at all.

   To know the performance of a music company, it depends almost entirely on the performance of the composers.

  But if writing songs was really that simple, I wouldn't worry about the performance of that department.

  …

  The next day.

  Lin Zhibai went to Shinhwa Entertainment in Lin Xi's car.

The building of Shinhwa Entertainment is located in the science and technology park of Sucheng, Qinzhou. It is about 35 kilometers away from Lin Zhibai's home. There is a subway station nearby. Of course, he has been to this company where his whole family works before, but the number of times he has come is seldom , not particularly familiar.

  Building fifty-five floors.

   There are also three floors underground.

  The total construction area exceeds 100,000 square meters!

This is Shinhwa's self-built office building, which has a history of nearly 20 years. The shape of the building is still novel, and the internal functions are also complete. It is almost one of the representative buildings in the science and technology park. There is a security team. Twenty-four hour patrol.

  Lin Xi parked the car directly in the parking lot.

Taking the elevator upstairs, Lin Xi introduced the company's situation with a smile: "The Shinhwa headquarters is even bigger than here, so I'll take you to see it when I have a chance, but this is the second building of Shinhwa, and it can be regarded as the core industry of the Lin family. I work on the thirteenth floor, and your second brother's Eighth Variety Show is on the thirty-eighth floor, but he hasn't returned from a business trip to Qizhou."

   "Why so long?"

  Lin Zhibai felt that the second brother had been away for quite a few days.

  Lin Xidao: "It seems that I fell in love with a variety show in Qizhou and wanted to buy the copyright to introduce it to Qinzhou, but there are many things that have not been discussed, so it has been delayed for so many days."

"Um."

  Lin Zhibai nodded, and suddenly thought that the system warehouse also has a variety column.

   I don’t know when the system will reward me with variety shows, but I should be able to help a bunch of second brothers by then.

   "Dad is a director, and he is not usually in the company, and my mother does not go to work every day. She just hangs up a position and only shows up when the department holds a meeting. Anyway, no one said much. Maybe many people are happy to see her not going to work."

  Lin Xi pouted.

  The elevator was relatively stable, but the speed was good, and it soon reached the thirteenth floor.

   "Minister."

   "Hello, Minister."

   "Good morning, Director Lin."

  Passing employees all greeted Lin Xi with expressions that were not reserved, but mostly with smiles.

  Lin Xi also smiled back.

   This surprised Lin Zhibai. He thought his sister was a cold-hearted leader, but he didn't expect her popularity in the department to be quite friendly.

  Of course, these employees also saw Lin Zhibai next to Lin Xi, but they didn't look too much into it. They just thought it was some newcomer in the department, who looked like an idol singer.

   This is an entertainment company.

  The most indispensable thing in an entertainment company is handsome men and beautiful women, and even ordinary employees are mostly more handsome than passers-by.

   "I'll have someone take you to the recording studio."

  Lin Xi went to the office: "Go and play by yourself, don't talk about our relationship, it's too ostentatious to influence."

"OK."

  Lin Zhibai nodded, and was a little puzzled: "Then my surname is also Lin, won't it make other people think too much?"

  Lin Xi laughed.

"If you knew how many people surnamed Lin were working in this Shinhwa Entertainment Building, you wouldn't think so. Our Lin family is such a big clan, and there are so many generations of people, old and young, so people surnamed Lin In this company, there will not be any special preferential treatment, unless you are the father's direct relative, of course you are, but if you don't publicize this matter, no one will know, besides, the big directors in the company will also stuff people in, many Everyone has a little background, which means that everyone has no background.”

  Lin Zhibai suddenly realized.

  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 the song with headphones on.

  Seeing Lin Zhibai coming in, the sound engineer took off his earphones and said hello:

   "Mr. Lin, right?"

"Hello."

  Lin Zhibai is very polite, even if his sister doesn't remind him, he won't put on airs like the third generation of the Lin family.

   "I'll record a song."

   "I have been notified by the department, please send me the sample."

"OK."

  Songs in the system warehouse can directly export song demos.

  However, the system also explained to Lin Zhibai that this is only temporary. In the future, he must learn to compose music by himself, and he has to do the demos by himself.

  Send soon.

  After receiving the demo, the sound engineer glanced at the title of the song, "Sorrow", it looks quite artistic.

"I listen."

   Talking, the sound engineer plugged in the earphones on the phone.

This demo is quite rough, electronically synthesized sound effects, not even a human voice, it sounds cold, and the melody is also very simple, but overall, it feels surprisingly good, especially the lyrics. My eyes lit up.

   "Not bad."

  The sound engineer smiled and said, "The lyrics are great!"

  Lin Chu nodded, but he also knew that the other party's words were mostly polite.

It's not that "Sorrow" is not good, but you can't really hear much from just a sample, and the sample provided by the system even Lin Zhibai can hear a strong perfunctory, as if he is reluctant to direct it to him .

   "What about the arrangement?"

   "Arrangement of my own design."

"OK."

  The sound engineer was not too surprised, it is normal for the composer to be able to arrange music.

  Besides, Lin Zhibai is a novice, and the singer he chooses is also a newcomer. If there is no relationship with the above, it is difficult for this kind of combination to ask a too powerful arranger teacher to help. Why not do it yourself?

   At this time.

  There is movement outside.

   Several new singers have arrived.
