In the next two days, Lin Xi will bring Lin Zhibai to work in the company.

When he arrived in the company, Lin Xi would let Lin Zhibai go to work on the recording of "Eliminate Sorrow".

And when the time came to the third day.

Lin Xi wanted to call his younger brother together before going to work.

Lin Zhibai shook his head, "The song has been officially recorded, and I don't have to worry about the mixing and mastering work in the future." ”

"Oh."

Lin Xi nodded and said, "Then it should be almost finished, and your contract has been signed?" ”

"Hmm."

Lin Zhibai said depressedly: "The myth is very dark, I do the lyrics, music arrangement, and arrangement, how come I only have a 1.5 share?" ”

Lin Xi smiled.

"First, you are a newcomer, and newcomers are not qualified to negotiate terms with the company, which involves a very real problem, no company composer even has a platform to publish his works, let alone use publicity resources, even if your works are very good; Second, the contract period is one year, and after one year, the company will adjust your share according to your performance; The third is that several of our top entertainment companies in Qinzhou use this set of standard contracts for newcomer compositions, and there is no reason why you can break the unspoken rules of the industry. ”

"I understand everything."

Lin Zhibai looked at his sister: "This contract must be renewed after a year?" ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said: "If the song enters the top ten of the season list, the company will issue bonuses according to the specific ranking, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in the share of the contract, but that must have the ability to enter the top ten." ”

said.

Lin Xi winked at his younger brother.

Lin Zhibai said: "What if I enter?" ”

Lin Xi brushed his hair: "If you are in the top ten, then I will wash your underwear for a year?" ”

Lin Zhibai: "......"

Lin Xi went out in a happy mood.

Halfway through, Lin Xi received a message on his mobile phone.

"Remember to look for me when you come to the company."

The sender's nickname is "Vice Minister Chen".

Shinhwa Group has 20 music departments, and Vice Minister Chen is one of the general heads of these 20 music departments.

The second-in-command of the company's large music department.

"Roger."

Lin Xi arrived at the company and went straight to Vice Minister Chen's office.

Vice Minister Chen, a woman in her forties, was sitting on her office sofa reading documents with a serious expression.

I saw Lin Xi enter the door.

Vice Minister Chen smiled: "Sit down, I have something to tell you." ”

"You say."

"The company had a meeting this morning, and the top management discussed for a long time, and they wanted to reorganize the music department."

"Reshuffle?"

Lin Xi's face changed slightly.

Vice Minister Chen poured two cups of tea.

"There are many and miscellaneous music departments in 20 departments, and it is a little inconvenient to manage, so I want to re-disperse the ten music departments that are lagging behind in performance, and then assign them to the top 10 music departments."

"Such a big move?"

Lin Xi frowned, "How do you arrange the supervisors in the bottom ten performance rankings?" ”

Vice Minister Chen motioned to Lin Xi to drink tea, "This is what I want to tell you, the last ten directors will be assigned to the top ten supervisors as deputies, if this decision is implemented, your situation is more embarrassing, because the performance of your thirteen music departments has been hovering in the middle." ”

Lin Xi nodded and took a sip of tea.

The performance of the thirteen music parts is neither good nor bad.

Last year's overall performance ranked just 11th on average.

If the company's decision is implemented, then the tenth place in performance is safe, and the eleventh place in performance is dangerous.

Other words.

Lin Xi must ensure the performance of the thirteen music departments and maintain the top ten in the company's big music department.

"Today is the 5th of August."

Vice Minister Chen tapped the document on the table with his fingertips, "I just looked at your department's average performance ranking before August. ”

"How many?"

"Thirteenth."

Lin Xi clenched the teacup slightly, "I understand, how much time is left?" ”

Vice Minister Chen said with a smile: "Don't be too nervous, this decision should be implemented in December, you still have nearly five months to sprint performance, as long as within five months, the annual performance rushes into the top ten, your department can be retained, and you will get a large number of personnel from the ten departments that have been eliminated to supplement the strength." ”

"I see."

Lin Xi said softly: "This is a crisis, but also an opportunity. ”

Vice Minister Chen nodded, "Lin Xi, you followed me when you first joined the company, and finally sat in this position, if the department is abolished, you will have to be the deputy of the top ten supervisors, although it is only from the main to the deputy, but you should know how big the gap between the rights and resources of the word positive and deputy is, I am restricted everywhere because I am the deputy manager of the music department." ”

"I know."

Lin Xi smiled: "Nominally, you are the deputy manager of our big music department, but I have always regarded you as a master in my heart." ”

Mythology is full of factions.

In the big music department, Lin Xi is a member of Vice Minister Chen's faction.

If Lin Xi's department is abolished, Vice Minister Chen will also be affected.

On the other hand, if Lin Xi stabilizes this wave, then Vice Minister Chen's status and voice in the company will also be improved, which will bring more convenience to her work.

End of conversation.

Lin Xi returned to the thirteenth part of the music, and he was a little worried.

I received the news myself, and I believe that the other nineteen music departments should have also received the news.

In the next period of time, the competition between the twenty music divisions of Mythic Entertainment will be extremely fierce, but the starting point of the twelve films is not good, and the performance before August this year is not as good as last year.

That's when the assistant followed.

Lin Xi seemed to think of something and asked, "Has Lin Zhibai's song review been completed?" ”

Before the release of the songs of Myth Entertainment, there will be a fixed internal review link, mainly used to confirm whether the song is plagiarized, some songs occasionally bump into a little melody, it's okay, there are so many compositions around the world, there are always similar ideas, but if the melodic similarity reaches a certain standard, it is suspected of plagiarism, don't want to send this song out in the name of mythology, the old man is a person who cherishes feathers very much.

"Yes."

The assistant followed suit, "The review has been approved, and the song has been sent to your encrypted email address through the company's intranet." ”

"I see."

Lin Xi entered the office and prepared to listen to the song.

As the head of the department, Lin Xi will listen to every song released from the thirteen music departments and briefly estimate the market.

It's part of her job.

Although the younger brother went through the back door and was parachuted in by his supervisor, he did not pass through the screening channels within the department, but the necessary procedures still had to be taken.

Moreover, Lin Xi is also curious:

What did my younger brother, who had simply learned piano and guitar before the age of fourteen, end up with something?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When you're feeling nervous, it seems nice to be able to listen to the songs written by my brother.

Ask the assistant to close the door.

Lin Xi opened the company's internal mailbox and saw the name of his brother's work.

"Sorrow?"

These two words inevitably made Lin Xi have some associations.

The mood became inexplicably complicated, and Lin Xi connected to the extremely expensive monitor speaker in the office and clicked to play.

The prelude sounded.

It's the sound of an accordion.

Sadness.

Quiet.

It seems to make people's hearts unconsciously overflow with a trace of sourness.

In the melodic moderation, the guitar followed, and a slightly thick vocals rang out.

This melody ......

This lyrics......

Lin Xi listened to the song, and his mind was slightly in a trance.

And when the main song transitions to the chorus, the lyrics are like knives piercing people's hearts.

There was no need for the singer to express anything hoarsely, Lin Xi's heart was full of waves, and he seemed to see a drunk teenager at the wine table in front of him.

muttered his melancholy.

Speak of his sorrows.

Lin Xi's eyes suddenly flashed back to his younger brother's various things in the past three years, pouring a pot of wine, and getting drunk before anyone drank.

Gradually.

Her eyes were red.

I don't know when the song will end.

Lin Xi was silent and clicked play again.

She couldn't tell whether the lyrics of "Dispel Sorrow" were some kind of voice from her younger brother in the past three years, or a creation after artistic processing, but she didn't want to ask and didn't dare to ask, for fear that she would touch the scar that had just healed again, tearing open the skin and flesh and bringing the pain of piercing her heart.

And from the supervisor's point of view.

Lin Xi couldn't tell how this song would perform in the market.

This has nothing to do with business ability, she has handled countless songs, but most of them are difficult to predict the market response in advance.

If the market were so predictable, there wouldn't be a huge number of songs quietly hitting the streets every year.

Who is not full of ambition when he releases a song?

In particular, it is difficult to predict the market for slow songs such as "Dispel Sorrow", which has little melody fluctuations and almost takes a purely lyrical route.

The only thing Lin Xi can be sure of is that this song will definitely be liked by someone, the difference is nothing more than how many people will like it.

Because the song "Dispel Sorrow" is excellent to Lin Xi.

is so good that Lin Xi can't even believe that this is a new song!

Could it be that my brother is a genius?

Lin Xi thought with some uncertainty.

After listening to the song five times in a row, Lin Xi finally took out his mobile phone and called Lin Zhibai.

The phone is connected.

Lin Xi said softly: "The song is well written. ”

Lin Zhibai smiled, "When will it be released?" ”

Lin Xi said: "When the Propaganda Department has set the publicity copy, it can be released." ”

Copy?

Lin Zhibai said without thinking: "Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water will flow more, and raise a glass to eliminate sorrow and sorrow." ”

Lin Xi was stunned.

I savored this sentence in my heart, and the more I tasted it, the more exquisite I felt.

Thinking of the heart-piercing lyrics of "Dispel Sorrow", she said with some mixed feelings: "My younger brother has grown up. ”

Lin Zhibai didn't speak.

Lin Xi thought for a while and suggested: "There are many people who know you, either you use your stage name to sing and save some trouble." ”

"Okay."

"That's called a little black man?"

"It's not going to work."

"How about being called Brother Bai?"

Lin Zhibai was helpless, Lin Xi would occasionally call him that, but after all, it was just a stage name: "It's good if you like it." ”

"That's it."

Lin Xi hung up the phone, stood up suddenly, restrained his smile, restored the majesty of the director, and pressed the pager on the table with his fingertips.

"Director."

The assistant outside the door entered.

Lin Xi said word by word: "Connect with various departments, the thirteen parts of music are ready to sing!" ”

"Roger!"

The assistant prepares to turn around.

Lin Xi called out to the assistant: "You give me the song information list of "Dispel Sorrow", and the composer has notified him that he will use his stage name to sing songs. ”

"Okay."

The assistant quickly brought the information sheet over.

Lin Xi took out a gel pen and filled in the information sheet for a while, then showed a satisfied smile and handed it to the assistant:

"Tonight!"

The assistant ran out with the information sheet, and couldn't help but glance at the contents on the way.

Song title: Eliminate sorrow
