Despite his sisterâs sudden interruption, the topic was skillfully brushed aside.
However, when Lin Yuan went upstairs after dinner, he couldnât help but feel something was off about the way his sister looked at him.
He didnât think much about it.
In the following days, Lin Yuanâs routine was normal. He read some books and attended school.
He also bought a bunch of comic 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 place that could serve as his comic studio.
Having an assistant was very convenient; at least Lin Yuan didnât 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 the company.
âThis is it.â
Lin Yuan looked around the environment and nodded.
Initially, Gu Dong wanted to ask what Lin Yuan was planning to do with the studio, but she swallowed her question and instead reminded Lin Yuan, âThe drama group is about to wrap up filming.â
Lin Yuan nodded.
Gu Dong continued, âXue Liangâs new song has been released. It is currently the fifth on the April new song list. Unfortunately, the singer he collaborated with is just an ordinary second-tier. If it was a top-tier singer, this song could have made it into the top three.â
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 Liangâs song âForestâ.
What Lin Yuan didnât know wasâ¦
Since Xue Liang was Xian Yuâs apprentice, the industry was curious and wanted to know the standard of an apprentice taught by Xian Yu.
As a result, when the song âForestâ was released, many people were shocked.
Those who knew their music could recognize the composition standard of this song!
âIsnât this the level of a top-tier composer?â
âBut this Carp, isnât he a rookie?â
âIs it really a case of the apple not falling far from the tree?â
âCan Xian Yu already teach apprentices to become top-tier composers?â
âIs composition that easy to teach?â
âItâs just one song, we canât rule out the possibility of a fluke. We still have to observe.â
âCould Xian Yu have also contributed to the composition?â
II II
The industryâs reaction was mostly of surprise and uncertainty. If Xian Yu could teach an apprentice to become a top-tier composer, it would indeed be terrifying!
Composition isnât something that can be easily taught to a high standard.
Even a maestro-level composer wouldnât dare to say they could definitely teach an apprentice to become a top-tier composer, right?
But whatâs undeniable isâ¦
The composer Carp, who also belongs to the âfishâ generation, has begun to gain recognition in both Qin Continent and Qi Province.
Some people even dug up Carpâs previous works.
Xue Liang, who composed under the name Carp, did not completely hide his identity.
As a result, comparing Carpâs earlier works, people in the industry were even more surprised.
âDid one person write this song?â
âCarpâs previous works and the one he published after becoming Xian Yuâs apprentice are completely different! Theyâre like night and day!â
âDid Xian Yu really teach all this?â
âIn an interview yesterday, Carp said heâs only been studying with Xian Yu for less than a year.â
âTurns out, heâs a lucky Carp?â
Meanwhile, inside Starlight-
Seeing Carpâs excellent performance within the season, many composers were shocked.
Didnât everyone know Carp was from a branch company?
And the level of those composers from the branch company was common knowledge in the industry.
For a moment, people couldnât 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 applause!
With his inaugural work released under the name Carp, he scored a huge success, instantly becoming a star figure in the Ninth Floorâs composition department!
At this moment, Xue Liang was thrilled and grateful.
What would his life have been like without his master?
Xue Liang didnât dare to imagine, and thus he was increasingly grateful for his masterâs kindness.
No matter how the outside world speculated, Xue Liang knew clearly in his heart that his success was all due to his masterâs excellent teachings!
Including when his colleagues within the department asked, Xue Liang gave the same answer.
Otherwise, he would not have used the word âCarpâ as his composer identity.
As such, when Lin Yuan came to the company 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 Liangâs performance. He even had the impulse to immediately take on another apprentice!
The effects of Yang Zhongmingâs character card and Teacherâs Halo were really good to use..
However, he didnât immediately get to this task.
There were many people in the department, Lin Yuan planned to consider the candidates and then decide who would be the second apprentice.
As for Xue Liangâ¦
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 Zhongmingâs character card and then give him pointers on his compositions.
Lin Yuan asked the System.
Although he couldnât use Yang Zhongmingâs character card to compose, after his apprentice finished a piece, he could use Yang Zhongmingâs character card to give some suggestions, which was not an issue.
As for the tea from Xue Liang, Lin Yuan did accept it.
No one blames 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, âMr. Lin, are you planning on making any moves soon?â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
He didnât have a song to release recently.
Wu Yong grimaced, âXue Liang got the fifth place, which is good, but now the market is changing so fast, havenât you seen the new song chart for this season?â
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Wu Yong helplessly said, âThe top song is from Thunderbolt Entertainment, the second is from Seven Star Entertainment, and the third is from Linfeng, a newly established entertainment company, but they have strong capital behind themâ¦â
âThe old top three from Qin Continent didnât make it into the top three?â
Lin Yuan finally realized the crux of the matter.
Wu Yong nodded heavily, âThe best result from Starlight is Xue Liangâs fifth place, the forth is Silver Light, and Sand Sea has fallen to the ninth place. The companies are shuffling their decks. The authority of us, Starlight, and the other two old rivals in the music scene, are decliningâ¦â
âBecause of personnel changes?â
Lin Yuan knew about the situation of companies poaching one anotherâs talent previously.
Wu Yong explained, âYes, all of them have trump composers now. Although Starlight has a few Maestros sitting in our camp, these few Maestros arenât fast at composing. They have very high requirements for the quality of songs, if they are not sure of securing the first place, they basically wonât release songs.â
âI also donât plan to release any songs recently.â
Lin Yuan cut off Wu Yongâs expectations, because he was running low on money on his card. Heâd been spending a lot lately, so he had to reserve some funds for unexpected needs.
âAlrightâ¦â
Wu Yong hesitated for a moment and said, âSo when will you be able to release a song? If Maestro doesnât make a move, Starlight really needs you to step forward. Otherwise, if our season ranking doesnât go up in a few months, we will let the companies from Qi Province and some new companies take the lead. This will affect the prestige and morale of our whole composition department.ââ
âLetâs wait and see. How many trump composers do we have left?â
âNot many, currently there are thirty-eight in total.â
âSo many have left?â
The previous Starlight had far more than just this number of trump composers.
Wu Yong explained, âAlthough we have lost a large number of trump composers, 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.â
Lin Yuan understood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He decided to wait a bit longer.
Itâs better to release a song after the situation gradually clears up. He canât 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 a comic seems a better move.
He has already created a Tribe account, just waiting for his assistant to take their position..
