However, Han Xiu’s next remarks dispelled Lin Yuan’s thoughts: “The basic salary for a representative is one hundred thousand a month. If a composer under your management publishes a piece, Representative Lin is eligible for a performance bonus. The specific contract will be drafted next week. Does Representative Lin have any objections?”

“None.”

Lin Yuan said decisively.

Han Xiu nodded: “The company will later adjust the composers on each floor. In addition to Representative Lin, other company’s top composers like Yang Zhongming will also serve as directors of other floors. In terms of this position, you are on par. In other words, the representatives of other floors are all Maestros, and only Representative Lin is managing a floor without being a Maestro!”

Rumble!

It was like a thunderclap. By now, the employees from branches like Gu Qiangyun were stunned. Other floors were managed by Maestros, but the ninth floor was managed by Representative Lin. This was like the headquarters directly placing Representative Lin in a position equivalent to the Maestros!

Lin Yuan gently nodded.

In the face of such nonchalant behavior, let alone Gu Qiangyun and others, even Han Xiu felt a sense of eeriness. The company put you in a position equivalent to the Maestros, and you can still stay so calm, even taking it for granted?

You must know…

The reason why the company made such a daring decision was purely because they saw Lin Yuan’s endless potential. Because the company on the Qi Continent would inevitably invade on a large scale soon, by then, powerhouse composers with infinite potential like Lin Yuan would definitely become the targets of everyone’s attention!

To keep this treasure…

The company made such a decision.

But if we truly look at achievements and qualifications, Lin Yuan really can’t be compared with those Maestros. So when this decision was proposed, it once caused intense discussion among the higher-ups. In the end, it was 01′ Zhou who said:

“A promising future!”

These four words completely moved Chairman Li Songhua. This assignment finally fell on Lin Yuan’s head. Because Lin Yuan’s previous performances and his achievements in the branch had elevated him to a level far ahead of other top composers.

Calling Lin Yuan a Maestro might be too much.

But considering factors like age, it would not be a problem to call Lin Yuan “Maestro Junior”. After all, the composition achievements that Lin Yuan have accomplished at his age indicate he has a strong potential to become a Maestro in the future.

Coughing lightly.

Han Xiu said, “This is just a temporary decision. The company’s formal implementation of this system won’t happen until January. In the future, the company won’t set up too many floors. Including Teacher Admirable Fish’s floor, the headquarters will only have floors nine through fifteen for the Music Composition Department. However, there won’t be much change in the number of people. As for the floors above them, they will be recording studios and other areas. Representative Lin can familiarize himself later.”

“What about Director Zhou…”

Lin Yuan asked a bit more.

Han Xiu put on a smile again: “Teacher Admirable Fish is still very concerned about his old leader. Director Zhou will still manage all the floors in the future, but his burden is now heavier because the company plans to set up a film and television department equivalent to the music department. Director Zhou will be in charge of some of the work. He has officially become a high-level decision maker of the company.”

Lin Yuan understood.

The company really couldn’t help but get involved in the film and television field. In fact, Starlight had a film and television department before, but it was obviously not taken seriously, after all, this is primarily a music company. But now, in the face of market changes, the company has no choice but to change. “You never know what the future holds.”

Han Xiu said reflectively: “However, the music department still receives a lot of attention from the company, because the film and television industry will inevitably involve things like music scoring. By then, the floors led by Representative Lin and all the Maestros will still have frequent contact with them. At that time, the company’s directors and screenwriters and other important people will visit the Music Composition Department. Everyone should first familiarize themselves with the new situation.”

Lin Yuan didn’t respond.

What he was thinking about was, of the several important categories given by the System, in addition to culture and music, film and television was also a major part. Therefore, he would most likely participate in film and television work in the future, and not just limited to things like film scoring. But right now, since the System was still upgrading, he had no way to communicate this. Could he possibly be allowed to customize scripts?

As for leaving Starlight…

Actually, jian Yi had talked to Lin Yuan about this possibility before. In Jian Yi’s words, the company on Qi Continent would be willing to spend a lot to “poach” talent. But Lin Yuan did not have an unstable personality. This could be seen from his long collaboration with Silver Blue Books on long-form novels. Since the old partnership was not bad, why should he abandon it for something far away? He didn’t believe that the conditions offered by the company on Qi Continent would definitely be better than those of Starlight.

After the meeting…

Everyone went their separate ways.

Those from the branch company had their own arrangements, while Lin Yuan went over to the composing department and greeted his old colleagues. The personnel of the composing department would be undergoing adjustments in the future, and he was unsure if they would have the opportunity to work together again.

“Our Maestro Junior is here!”

As soon as Lin Yuan walked through the door, he was warmly welcomed. His old colleagues had been missing him quite a bit. Wu Yong, the senior who initially helped Lin Yuan get familiar with his job, had a smile beaming like a blossom.

“Hello, everyone.”

Lin Yuan put on a smile that would meet social expectations. He also had some fondness for his colleagues. Perhaps due to nostalgia, he even deliberately sat down for a moment at his former work station, taking in the views of the place one last time. He then posed a question to Wu Yong, “what’s this about Maestro Junior?”

“You don’t know?” ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Wu Yong laughed: “You should have received the company’s decree, right? From now on, you’re the representative commanding an entire floor. Interestingly, all the other representatives are Maestros, and you are the only one who’s gained this position with your Golden badge. Hence, the company’s been saying that you are our Starlight’s Maestro Junior!”

“The key is that no one doubts it!”

A colleague chimed in: “Although you are currently only a hit composer, the achievements you’ve made since joining the company are widely recognized. We heard you managed to get the branch company in Qi Continent up and running!”

“What you and your stuff!”

We should call him Mr. Lin from now on!”

“Mr. Lin is our supervisor from now on. I actually wanted to be assigned under him, but it seems the company intends to shuffle all of us around thoroughly.

So whether we’ll end up together again is down to fate.”

“It’s a shame that many have left.”

“Twenty-one people from our floor resigned, all of whom were poached by Qi Continent. Other floors are almost the same, and it’s our fault for not foreseeing this, as nobody signed any non-compete agreements when they joined the company.”

For the first time, Lin Yuan noticed that there were indeed fewer people in the department. Well, it seemed actions had already been taken on the side of Qi Continent. However, the fact that they dug up so many people at once was utterly shocking. Starlight had indeed suffered a heavy loss.

“No loss.”

As someone else echoed the sentiment of losses, Wu Yong laughed: “You guys aren’t aware yet, but we’ve also poached hundreds from various companies in Qi Continent, including A-line directors, screenwriters, and even some renowned actors. When it comes to taking actions, we’re even faster!”

Some showed expressions of surprise.

Some obviously had prior knowledge of the situation.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan gradually gained a deeper understanding of the company’s position through their conversations. Just as he thought he should probably head home, a system’s voice suddenly popped up in his mind:

“Film and television database expansion in progress…”

“Selection of director’s template in progress…”

Lin Yuan wanted to ask more, but the system ignored him, the host.

Apparently, the system’s upgrade and update were not yet complete, but it did inform Lin Yuan of the field he was likely to get into next.

It was indeed film and television.

The most likely development would be starting from the scriptwriting aspect. However, the system seemed to have also mentioned something about directing. Lin Yuan decided that he would research Blue Star’s film and television scene in order to prepare for the acquisition of film and television prestige.

At this point,

the impact of the integration between Qi Continent and Qin Continent had passed the initial stage and was getting more intense. There was a hint of a brewing storm amongst the major entertainment companies, and one could imagine how fierce the future competition will be in the fields of music and film and television…

ps: The next part involves a movie, can you guys still make a guess hahahanovelbuddy.cσ๓
