Xie Jie had previously told him that he wanted to join him. After all, he was currently a first-tier singer. If he wanted to go a step further, staying in Hunan for exposure was enough, but his arsenal was not.
So, in order to advance his singing career, after discussing and weighing the pros and cons with Zhang Na, he chose to terminate his contract with Xiangnan TV.
For Su Yu, having another first-tier singer under his wing was also very good.
Currently, there were only Chen Yixun, Bi Huo, and Wu Anjun among the male singers, and Wu Anjun was his true self!
This seemed a bit insufficient to Su Yu, and expanding the team's size was clearly necessary.
At the Tianxing Entertainment Music Department, Xie Jie and Li Dayue were both present. Even Chen Yixun and Liu Ruyan, who had heard the message that Su Yu would be coming to work today, came to join the fun.
When Su Yu came in, he saw that these people were all looking at him with an expression of profound admiration, which made Su Yu feel a bit uncomfortable: "Why are you looking at me like that? Have I become even more handsome?"
"Teacher Su Yu, I didn't expect you to be a poet and a painter! I wonder if this humble girl has the honor of getting a piece of your calligraphy to collect?" Liu Ruyan's pretty face bloomed with a smile, beautiful to the point of being breathtaking.
And what she said also made Su Yu shiver.
Fortunately, Han Jiangxue was not here, otherwise, how would he explain?
"Yes, Teacher Su Yu, I also want to ask for a piece of calligraphy to hang in my home! The poem zhu shi (bamboo stone) is fine, I don't want a painting, just the calligraphy will do, I'm not greedy!" Chen Yixun also spoke up from the side, asking for it.
This made Su Yu a bit helpless. Good heavens, these two actually came to sponge off him?
It was bad enough that they weren't thinking of giving gifts to him, their benefactor, but they were even asking him for things. How audacious!
"Ahem, little brother Su Yu, if possible, I want the poem "acacia"!" Xie Jie also couldn't help but speak.
He had just finished signing the contract with Li Dayue and was now a contracted singer with Tianxing Entertainment, so naturally, there was no need to be formal anymore.
Moreover, he had called Su Yu little brother from the beginning, and he hadn't gotten used to changing his address for a while.
"Alright, I originally planned to give each of you a new song, but now it will be calligraphy and painting instead." Su Yu shrugged indifferently, saying something that made the heads of the people present buzz.
They were all singers, what did they need calligraphy and paintings for? What they lacked were Su Yu's works!
"Teacher Su Yu? Uh, I want a new song!" Ruyan Dadi was the first to change her mind, and not at all coyly.
"I want a new song too!" Xie Jie quickly raised his hand!
This was his benefit for joining Tianxing Entertainment, how could he let it go?
"Ahem, I'll still take the calligraphy and painting. The buzz from my new album hasn't worn off yet."
Chen Yixun was honest, knowing that releasing a new song now would not have much effect and would only waste the current popularity!
"Is that so? Brother Jie, Sister Ruyan, do you speak cantonese? I plan to give you a few movie and TV songs from the legend of the condor heroes to sing."
Su Yu smiled and directly offered the benefits to the two of them.
Actually, if Xie Jie hadn't come, Su Yu had planned to have Chen Yixun and Liu Ruyan sing those classic golden-level movie and TV songs.
But now that Xie Jie had come to join him, and Chen Yixun had just released an album, this good thing fell to him.
The 83 version of legend of the condor heroes had three theme songs and five episode, a total of eight songs! Enough for a double album.
"If this chandelier pours down, perhaps I will no longer exist..."
And Su Yu's answer was Xie Jie singing "next year today" in very standard cantonese.
Good heavens, did this still need further proof?
"The light rain carries the wind, soaking the streets at dusk, wiping away the rainwater, looking up without reason..." Liu Ruyan also followed suit, not to be outdone, and sang a few lines of "The Message."
At this point, Su Yu could truly rest assured.
"What about me?!" Li Dayue, feeling ignored as the Music Director, finally couldn't help but speak.
"When you win the Best Album Producer awards at both the Huayin and Golden Melody Awards, I'll give you a piece of calligraphy and painting! New painting, new poetry, so you can go home and retire in glory."
Su Yu glanced at Li Dayue with disdain, but what he said made Li Dayue incredibly happy!
Su Yu was going to paint and write a poem for him personally! This was not a treatment that ordinary people could enjoy.
As a small shareholder of Tianxing Entertainment, Li Dayue knew about Su Yu's poetic and painting talents even earlier than the netizens.
After all, he had a chairman who loved to show off endlessly, and two major shareholders!
Li Dayue had been coveting the folding fans in Han Jianhua's hands for a very, very long time, but he had no reason to ask Su Yu for a piece.
Now it was good. Since Su Yu had personally agreed, what else was there to say?
Moreover, he had already begun to liaise with Ye Mei and was participating in the recording of Ye Mei's new album for November.
Li Dayue felt that although Chen Yixun's album had explosive sales and influence, once Ye Mei's album was released, it was very likely to overturn the 5.1 million sales record Chen Yixun had created at the moment!
That's right, Chen Yixun's new album "ten years" had been online for a week, and album sales had already exceeded 5 million!
Although sales were currently declining, the increase was still very stable. Li Dayue felt that perhaps in less than a month, this album could break the ten-million mark!
And what about Ye Mei's album? Li Dayue felt that perhaps it could break ten million in sales in less than half a month!
Because the quality of the ten songs Su Yu prepared for Ye Mei was truly outstanding! It was something Li Dayue had only seen in his life.
"Alright, since you're here, Brother Jie, Sister Ruyan, you can go directly into the studio, let's do a sound check." There was still some time until lunch, so Su Yu decided to find something to do.
And the song Su Yu brought out for the two to try out was "The World Is Always Good," one of the theme songs of legend of the condor heroes!
When Xie Jie and Liu Ruyan heard the prelude of the song, they only felt a strong martial arts style rushing towards them.
And one line of the song was: "I ask the world, is this mountain the highest? Or is there another place higher than the sky?"
They had not read the novel or the script, and even Liu Ruyan did not participate in the acting this time.
But when the two simply memorized the melody and began to try out the sound in the recording studio, Li Dayue and Chen Yixun were already a bit stunned.
Especially when they heard Su Yu on the side, constantly making "Hu Ha! Hu Ha!" human vocalizations, they were even more confused.
Su Yu, you are a well-known senior lyricist and composer, a rising new poet, painter, and calligrapher!
Do you really have to be so chuunibyou?
However, after adding "Hu Ha!" to the beginning of the song, the feeling was indeed a bit different.
Why did it still sound a bit addictive? It was clearly such an old cantonese song...
