“The company has arranged an office for you on the 8th floor, but it’s still being set up and isn’t finished yet.
So, we’ll take you to see it tomorrow,” Li Dayue said slowly after seeing Su Yu.
In fact, when he first heard that the company was going to upgrade Su Yu’s contract, he was incredibly supportive.
He even offered to give up his position as Music Department Director.
“It’s okay, I don’t come here often anyway,” Su Yu replied softly, his voice quiet.
Li Dayue really wanted to kick Su Yu at that moment, but remembering Su Yu’s physical condition, he forcibly suppressed the impulse.
“Recently, there have been quite a few requests for songs for you.
Go to your workstation and take a look.
Singers of the King of Singers, Queen of Singers, Heavenly King, and Heavenly Queen levels have all requested songs from you; it just depends on who you want to write for.
Also, this is an invitation from Jinling TV for a variety show; they want to invite you to be the main guess panelist, with an appearance fee of up to 2 million after tax per episode!”
As expected, the first thing Li Dayue did after seeing Su Yu was discuss work.
However, Su Yu had little interest in the song requests.
The number of songs he had released this month was already far over the limit, and he planned to consider it next month.
What piqued Su Yu’s interest was the variety show called “Who is the Singer.”
Looking at the show’s description, it was somewhat similar to Earth’s “Masked Singer,” but this “Who is the Singer” was more competitive, eliminating two singers every episode, which was much harsher than Hunan TV’s “The King of Singers.”
In addition, this variety show boldly adopted a live broadcast format, which made it even more exciting.
Those singers with poor singing skills who still wanted to gain fame and popularity now had no chance to participate.
A large group of top-tier singers performing live PKs was bound to stir up a considerable stir in the variety show industry.
“Director, tell them that I want to participate in this variety show as a singer.
If I get eliminated, then I’ll join the guess panel.”
After some thought, Su Yu gave a reply that left Li Dayue dumbfounded.
In fact, Su Yu had already decided to step onto the stage as a singer before this.
After all, this way, the cultural and entertainment prestige points gained would be more direct.
Coupled with the advanced singing skills he just acquired today and his physical condition recovering by 30%, Su Yu was now fully prepared.
“Are you serious?” Li Dayue asked, full of disbelief.
“Serious!” Su Yu nodded with a smile.
“Alright, I’ll go talk to the people at Jinling TV about this in a bit; I don’t think they’ll refuse.
And this variety show is likely to air after Hunan TV’s “The King of Singers,” so you should prepare more songs during this time.” Li Dayue nodded reluctantly.
He really couldn’t control Su Yu’s affairs.
He couldn’t control him before, and now that Su Yu had become a minor shareholder of Tianxing Entertainment, he had even less control.
However, Li Dayue felt that Su Yu did have some singing skills.
If Su Yu could write some suitable high-level songs for himself, it shouldn’t be a problem for him to last three or four episodes in the variety show.
As for higher expectations? At least for now, Li Dayue didn’t have any.
This time, he just considered Su Yu to be trying his hand at the variety show, after all, it was such a novel variety show that he himself wanted to try it.
Of course, if he went, he would also be on the guess panel.
While Li Dayue went to contact Jinling TV, Su Yu came to his workstation, opened his computer, and looked through the series of orders for song requests he had received these days.
After a quick glance, Su Yu lost interest.
In fact, at a glance, Su Yu knew that those who requested songs wanted his current popularity as a lyricist and composer.
Su Yu then clicked on the company’s internal song request orders.
Among these internal company orders, Su Yu saw a Yan Music senior who had just graduated this year and signed with Tianxing Entertainment.
Su Yu had heard of this senior’s name when he was in school, simply because his name was a bit special, it was Bi Huo! A homophone for “will definitely become popular”!
How much must this senior’s parents have hoped for him to become popular when they named him?
Su Yu smiled and clicked on Senior Bi Huo’s singing recording, listening to his vocal quality and skill level.
Now that he was a company shareholder, cultivating new singers for the company was also his due responsibility.
Moreover, advanced lyricists and composers needed to cultivate two first-tier singers to be promoted to gold-medal lyricists and composers.
Han Jiangxue could actually be considered one, after all, Han Jiangxue’s rise from obscurity to her current quasi-first-tier singer popularity was entirely driven by Su Yu’s songs.
So, Su Yu now planned to cultivate a second first-tier singer.
Just as Su Yu was carefully listening to Bi Huo’s singing skills and vocal quality, Li Dayue appeared again.
“Bi Huo’s singing skills are quite good.
Why are you planning to start cultivating a second first-tier singer already?” Li Dayue asked, a little surprised, after seeing the information on Su Yu’s computer.
“Mm, after Sister Jiang Xue finishes “The King of Singers,” her singer data will steadily enter the ranks of first-tier singers.
So, I think now is the right time to choose a second singer to cultivate,” Su Yu nodded, not denying Li Dayue’s guess.
After all, Li Dayue was also an experienced person; didn’t he also cultivate two first-tier singers back then?
“You can do as you see fit.
With your songwriting ability, it’s not surprising to cultivate several first-tier singers!
Oh, and Jinling TV agreed.
Your appearance fee is still 2 million per episode, and they’ve directly arranged for you to be the first to perform in the first episode!
At that time, you’ll need to prepare your mask and matching outfit in advance; the requirement is that the audience absolutely cannot see your face!”
After a sigh of emotion, Li Dayue relayed Jinling TV’s reply.
“Director, about my participation in the variety show, let’s keep it between us and not spread it around.
I want to give the company staff a surprise!” Su Yu, afraid that Li Dayue, with his big mouth, would blurt it out, reminded him.
“No problem!
Do you need me to have someone call this Bi Huo over?
He should be in the Artists Department right now; he’s a newcomer, so he has to wait for opportunities in the early stages.” After Li Dayue nodded, he pointed to Bi Huo’s photo on Su Yu’s computer.
“How about this, Director, I’ll give you two new songs, one suitable for a girl and one for a boy.
Then you can select some new singers in the company who haven’t debuted yet to perform them.
I’ll give them three days to practice.
After three days, I’ll choose the two best singers from these people for Key training.
What do you think, is that okay?”
Su Yu stated his idea.
If he directly chose Bi Huo, it wouldn’t be fair to the other newcomers.
Moreover, since he had already decided to cultivate new talent, he might as well choose two directly, one male and one female.
Li Dayue’s eyes widened, but then he stretched out his hand: “New songs, hand them over!”
