Seven Star Entertainnt.
As one of the most well-known entertainnt companies in the Qi Continent, Seven Star is on par with Thunderbolt in terms of scale. In a private lounge on the twelfth floor of the company, Shui Yun t with her team.
“Sister Yun.”
Shui Yun’s agent, representing her team, began with a smile, “After our company offered a competitive fee of three million, these contractors have been quite efficient and the custom songs are basically done.”
“What about Red Moon and Lone Wolf?”
Shui Yun valued these two companies more.
The agent said, “Lone Wolf completed their production last week. Red Moon was a bit slower, but they also sent the complete song yesterday. Companies like these, if they want to focus, can finish an order in two months, which proves they give importance to this order. Which would you like to listen to first?”
Shui Yun said, “Let’s go with Lone Wolf.”
The agent nodded and played Lone Wolf’s work.
This was a rather complete piece, including lyrics and instruntal arrangent. Lone Wolf even found a singer with a similar vocal range to Shui Yun to record this sample, allowing Shui Yun to feel the full effect of the song.
Let explain a little here.
The adept contractors usually handle both composing and arranging music, while writing lyrics is a supplentary task.
The difference between composing and arranging music has different criteria for evaluation in the Celestial Dynasty and internationally.
Internationally, a so-called composer is actually soone who can take care of both composing and arranging, similar to Lin Yuan’s style.
Of course, this is the standard in international academics.
According to the traditional view of the Celestial Dynasty:
Composing is like creating a person, while arranging is like grooming this person.
The two are distinct tasks…
Blue Star lies sowhere in between these two concepts.
Most composers are willing to be involved in arrangent and even lyric writing, but if the client doesn’t approve, they will have to do the arranging and lyric writing again, only adopting the lody part of the vocal performance.
However, Lone Wolf is a company that ranks high on the charts.
The work they sent over, be it the composing, arranging, or even the lyrics, were all quite good.
After listening to it, there were many satisfied expressions on the team.
Shui Yun didn’t speak, but asked her agent to play Red Moon’s work.
After hearing this one, Shui Yun’s team was torn.
Because Red Moon’s work is also good. Although they didn’t prepare as comprehensively as Lone Wolf, who provided arrangent, lyrics, and even a sample performance, the vocal lody is comndable.
Let’s conclude now.1
Shui Yun spoke, “The song from Lone Wolf is very similar to my previous work. One could say they tailor-made it for . But the problem is that I am looking for a breakthrough. Compared to my previous works, this song doesn’t have
much of a breakthrough.”
Everyone nodded.
Shui Yun continued, “Now for Red Moon’s song. The issue with Red Moon is the opposite of Lone Wolf. Red Moon’s breakthrough is too big. They boldly included a rap section. I don’t object to rap, but I personally prefer lodic rap…”
“So, which one do we choose?”
The agent cautiously asked.
After so contemplation, Shui Yun said, “Aren’t there three more? Have they co over?”
“Um…”
The agent hesitated, opened her email, and raised an eyebrow, “The remaining three have also sent their works, but these three are basically just along for the ride. You should know why, Sister Yun.”
“We should at least listen to them.”
Shui Yun waved her hand, “Forget it, give the headphones. I’ll continue listening to the remaining songs while you guys start discussing whether Lone Wolf or Red Moon should be chosen.”
The agent nodded.
Shui Yun sat in a cor by herself, turned the volu of the headphones up high, and slowly started listening to the music, while her team initiated their discussion.
“Let’s go with Lone Wolf.”
Soone spoke up, “Lone Wolf’s work is the safest. We can ask them to make minor modifications.”
“Lone Wolf is too conservative.”
Soone else shook their head, “And you even ntioned modifications. Then why don’t we choose Red Moon’s song? Red Moon’s song clearly has made so breakthroughs. Although the rap section is a bit audacious, all we need to do is change the rap part to a lodic rap.”
“You oversimplify things.”
A mber of the team who understood music shook his head, “The rap section in this song is hard to modify, because the song has to integrate this form of rap to achieve the maximum effect. Changing it to lodic rap would change its flavor.”
“Anyway, I think Red Moon’s is better.”
“Lone Wolf’s song is foolproof.”
“There’s no such thing as a foolproof piece…”
The team obviously divided into two clear camps, with completely opposite opinions. After a while of arguing, soone finally looked exasperated and glanced at the agent, saying:
“Can we take both?”
The agent held her forehead, “You are dreaming. This is an order for a three- million-per-song. To take both would cost the company a total of six million. Do you think the manager would approve?”
Everyone smirked.
A new round of argunts soon began within the team, and within ten minutes, there was an escalating situation of near-argunt. The agent, growing a headache from the noise, concluded, “Forget it, we won’t get anywhere arguing this way. All of you, stop arguing and let Sister Yun decide!”
“Red Moon.”
“Lone Wolf.”
The team still bickered for a while until they saw the agent’s face turn black and reluctantly stopped their argunt. Their faces held a hint of unwillingness.
“Sister Yun?”
The agent looked at Shui Yun.
Shui Yun must have had the volu of the headphones turned up too high because she didn’t hear the agent. She was leaning back, fully indulged in the music, and her legs were even rhythmically bouncing…
“Sister Yun?”
The agent raised her voice.
Shui Yun still remained oblivious.
Everyone looked at each other. They didn’t think Shui Yun was concentrating on the music, but rather suspected that she might have been a bit moody because the argunt earlier had gotten too heated?
“Sister Yun!”
The agent leaned in front of Shui Yun.
Shui Yun seed to only snap out of the music trance after she saw the big face of the agent approaching her. She suddenly stood up, scaring everyone in the team who didn’t understand her big reaction.
“I’ve made a decision!”
Shui Yun’s tone was extrely light and cheerful.
Upon hearing her words, everyone looked at Shui Yun. The agent was also watching Shui Yun, feeling nervous and unsure if Shui Yun would ultimately choose Red Moon or Lone Wolf.
Neither Red Moon.
Nor Lone Wolf.
Shui Yun took off her left headphone. Without any hesitation, she decisively said four words:
“Starlight Music!”
At that mont, many doubted whether they had heard wrong, which made them freeze in place. The agent even subconsciously thought about which company Starlight Music was?
