Lin Zhibai got the news that "The Chair in the World" had been successfully drafted through Jiang Cheng's phone call that night.

"This story will be published in "Mystery and Suspense" of Nathan's Bookstore next month."

"knew."

Lin Zhibai was not surprised, but just reminded Aunt Liu, who was busy with dinner, to remember to buy a copy of "Mystery of Reasoning and Suspense" for herself at the beginning of next month.

"In addition, our Kunpeng Studio has already registered."

Jiang Chengdao: "According to the requirements of relevant departments, we still need an office space."

"Let's rent an office building then."

Lin Zhibai said: "You can choose the location, but it shouldn't be too far from my residence, and the cost of renting the venue can be reimbursed to me later."

"Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhibai was about to go upstairs when the doorbell outside suddenly rang.

Lin Zhibai opened the door.

The delicate face of sister Lin Xi appeared outside the door: "Hello, my dear brother."

Lin Zhibai also smiled.

After Lin Xi entered the door, he took a general tour, and then praised: "This place is not bad, it is very suitable for Jinwu Zangjiao."

talking.

Lin Xi sat on the sofa in the living room: "I'm here to see you this time, and by the way, I have something to chat with you about work."

Lin Zhibai asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Do you still remember the music order I mentioned to you before?"

"Are there jobs?"

Lin Zhibai's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Xi nodded and said: "This is a small order that the thirteenth music department just received today. A certain martial arts drama needs an ancient promotional song. Several composers in the department are interested, and the total reward is seven million. , Of course it is before the share, I think you should try it too, that is, Party A’s time is a little tight, and they will use it next month.”

Seven million orders?

Lin Zhibai asked: "Then how will the custom order be divided?"

Lin Xi pondered and said: "Every custom order needs to sign an independent contract. Considering your performance in the past two months, I can probably get 20% of it for you. Probably 1.4 million."

"Just over a million?"

Lin Zhibai couldn't help feeling disgusted.

I earn more than that by posting a song normally.

Lin Xi laughed: "It's not certain whether you can eat it, but you still dislike it. The main reason is that my sister's performance in the department is not ranked high, so I can only be assigned to this level of list. In addition, the reward of this list is not really high. Less, you must know that the custom order is an additional income, and it does not conflict with your download share."

"Um."

Lin Zhibai nodded.

The advantage of custom orders is that they can make money at both ends.

This end is naturally to earn Party A’s money, and the other end is to earn money from downloads. If the film and television drama becomes popular, it can also drive the popularity of the song, and even some songs are of mediocre quality, but they become popular because of the popularity of the film and television drama. special fire.

However, customization also has disadvantages.

Because the custom list is a typical proposition composition.

Composers must strictly follow a limited theme to create, such as dancing with shackles, unable to play freely.

Of course, this is not a big problem for Lin Zhibai.

At this time, Lin Xi said again: "There is another advantage of the custom order, that is, if you succeed this time, the share of the next order can be increased. Of course, how much you can increase depends on the next custom order. No matter what level it is, it won’t improve too much anyway.”

"Is that so?"

Although I still feel that it is a trap, Lin Zhibai also knows that this is the norm in the circle, and it is difficult for individuals to resist the power of capital, unless that person has a system...

"There is more."

Lin Xi analyzed it for his younger brother: "The reason why Party A is looking for Shinhwa is actually because of Shinhwa's song promotion channels. It's true that the composer can write songs, but he can't provide help for promotion. These are also included in In the price of the custom order."

"Um."

Lin Zhibai nodded, black with reason and evidence.

Lin Xi seemed to point out something: "That's why many composers are opening vests to receive private orders, including composers in our department who also do the same..."

Taking private orders?

Lin Zhibai pursed his lips lightly.

Seems like a good way to make money?

Lin Xi stared at his younger brother: "The composers in the industry have basically taken private orders. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and it is already an unspoken rule in the industry."

"So how exactly do you do it?"

Lin Zhibai explained: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I'm just curious."

Lin Xi rolled his eyes: "Open a vest that no one knows, secretly write songs for other companies, borrow your big name, and get a higher share! Generally speaking, the more powerful composers, the more vests, especially Those famous Qu dads more or less have a few vests in their hands."

paused.

Lin Xi curled her lips and said, "I don't know who started this trend of opening a pile of vests indiscriminately."

"Can I just wear the vest?" Lin Zhibai's eyes were burning.

"It's better to change the account to someone else's." Lin Xi reminded me seemingly casually.

"sister."

Lin Zhibai said seriously: "I'm just curious."

Lin Xi smiled, "Who said you're not?"

The eyes of the siblings intertwined, and after a while, they both burst out laughing at the same time.

"Oh my stupid brother."

Lin Xi patted Lin Zhibai on the shoulder: "Not everyone can receive a private order. If you are qualified, someone will contact you. If no one contacts you privately, it means that your resume as Baidi is not beautiful enough. , let’s continue talking about custom orders, are you interested?”

Lin Zhibai was about to say consider it.

After all, the prestige consumed by custom songs is greater than the lottery.

Unexpectedly, the system suddenly prompted: "Congratulations to the host for triggering a new task."

[Task Name: Custom Order]

[Task content: As an excellent composer, not only must he be able to compete for the top of the season rankings, but he must also have the ability to write good essays. Please accept the custom order to prove his ability to write essays! 】

Lin Zhibai: "..."

Can you miss the chance to get skill points?

Lin Zhibai took over the task directly, "Tell me about it."

Lin Xi nodded: "First of all, you need to know the requirements for custom orders, which are public within the department, that is to say, all the composers of our Thirteen Mythical Music Departments can accept this order, and whoever's song is favored by Party A will count. Whose, you can understand it as competition for jobs, so efficiency and quality are both important."

Immediately afterwards.

Lin Xi introduced the content of Party A's martial arts drama: "At the end of the Warring States period, Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, and the First Emperor was furious, and ordered the prime minister to investigate to the end to find out who else in the rivers and lakes was related to Jing Ke, and he must be beheaded." As a result, a bloody storm broke out in the rivers and lakes..."

At the end of the Warring States Period?

Martial arts background?

Listening to his sister Lin Xi's narration, Lin Zhibai blinked.

A TV series with this theme needs a promotional song, so I seem to have quite a few choices?
