Chapter 173: Chapter 164: Planting the Flag 1

Translator: 549690339

For a company that is able to rank within the top too of music production companies, the importance of the rankings is self-evident.

Because in a sense, these rankings represent the company’s overall strength in Qi Continent.

This is an important bargaining chip when negotiating orders!

So, every music production company in Qi Continent pays great attention to changes in their own ranking.

Starlight hitting the hundredth spot seems like a trivial matter.

Especially when looking at the surface, Flame Music is the only victim.

But this doesn’t stop the companies close in ranking to Starlight Music from feeling tense, especially after they fully understand the reason for Starlight’s surge into the rankings—

“Just because of one person?”

“Isn’t this composer named Xian Yu too fierce? He’s taken on two five star orders in such a short time, including a three million theme song order for a major Thunderbolt TV drama?”

“Our position is shaky.”

“This Xian Yu is pretty good. Among the top too rankings, which company has soared up just because of one person?”

“If Xian Yu performs well enough, wouldn’t all the companies ranked 90th or lower have the risk of dropping down in the rankings?”

This kind of tension mainly belongs to the companies that are ranked after the 90th.

Companies ranked before 90 don’t have to worry too much about Starlight threatening their positions.

Because the disadvantage of Starlight Music’s model is too great, no matter how strong Xian Yu is, after all, he is just one person.

So, compared to those companies that are very close to Starlight in rankings, companies ranked before 90th are more of a spectator.

This fire won’t burn their heads.

However, the fact that Xian Yu, alone, is leading a company forward has indeed shocked many B-side companies.

They may not take Starlight Music seriously, but they won’t face Xian Yu with the same attitude.

In fact, after Xian Yu completed these two orders, he has already attracted the attention of many industry insiders in Qi Continent.

And in the B-side rankings.

At present, the Lone Wolf Company, which is ranked 13th, certainly does not need to care about the squabbles between these lower-tier companies—

For Lone Wolf, companies ranked below 50 are all chickens, and those not even in the top 100 are not even considered chickens.

At this time.

A general meeting of the Lone Wolf’s composition department was being held: “Red Moon is competing with us for the Seven Star Entertainment order. Even if it’s just to defeat Red Moon, we must win this order. I hope all senior composers in the company can participate. The requirements of the client have been distributed to you. It would be best if you could brainstorm, and of course, you would not be working for free. The company can distribute shares according to your contributions!”

Yes.

Because Seven Star Entertainment is competition-based this time, there are a total of five companies competing for this order.

But for Lone Wolf, there is actually only one competitor for this order from start to finish.

That is Red Moon Production, ranked number fifteen on the B-side rankings.

As for the other three companies contacted by Seven Star Entertainment?

From a strength perspective, there is not much comparability with Lone Wolf and Red Moon.

Seven Star Entertainment also understands this point.

Although they have contacted five companies at the same time, the real gem of this order is actually on Red Moon and Lone Wolf.

The other three are not necessarily just making up the numbers, but anyway, it’s a side move.

Seven Star Entertainment just wants to try their luck, when it comes to making a real choice, it’s actually the same whether there are three other companies or not.

Red Moon has a similar view on competitive orders.

Saying that there are five competing companies, in fact, three of them are mixtures trying their luck.

Red Moon’s real opponent is only Lone Wolf.

However, compared to Lone Wolf’s certainty, Red Moon still investigated the other three companies.

This is Red Moon’s system and probably has something to do with the company culture or something.

In the conference room.

The director routinely said: “In addition to us and Lone Wolf, the other three companies are ranked 38th, 55th and 100th…”

Many composers couldn’t help but snicker.

The 38th place, the 55th place could be ignored.

But how come there’s a company ranked 100th among them?

They almost didn’t make it into the top 100 list.

But the deputy director explained: “You probably don’t pay much attention to these small companies. The 100th ranked company is called Starlight Music. They just collaborated with Thunderbolt Entertainment recently and completed a three million order.”

“What?”

“Three million?”

“Thunderbolt Entertainment?”

“Any experts there?”

“Kingmaker?”

The composers at Red Moon suddenly took this more seriously. Regardless of luck or other reasons, a three million-order is not a small amount

If this was a small sum, Red Moon wouldn’t have held a special meeting for the three million order from Seven Star Entertainment!

Of course, this level of attention is not solely due to the money. If it was just about the money, Red Moon and Lone Wolf would not take it so seriously.

The main reason is that Red Moon wants to seize this opportunity to defeat

Lone Wolf to enhance the company’s ranking.

Keep in mind.

The rankings of Lone Wolf and Red Moon are very close.

The two companies can form a kind of balancing out pattern.

This is also why Seven Star would choose Red Moon and Lone Wolf at the same time. They saw that Lone Wolf and Red Moon were not on good terms and exploited the competition between the two companies to make them take this order seriously.

“It seems that you all get it.”

The deputy director nodded: “This is why our company stipulates that every competitive order should be given full support, and besides Starlight Music, the two companies that are ranked 30th and 50th have performed quite well recently. Absolutely do not drop the ball. After all, among the many competitive orders in Qi Continent, there have been a few cases of major companies messing up, they are the bloody lessons of our predecessors…”

Seven Star Entertainment, even if they want to try their luck, is not randomly selecting within the B-side of Qi Continent.

The standard for their selection of companies has certain basis.

For Red Moon and Lone Wolf, the threat of the other three is not large, but it is not without threat.

After the meeting.

The director laughed and said to the deputy director: “Why did you read it so conservatively? Our company has received lots of competitive orders, when have we ever messed up?”

The director has planted a flag for himself.

“It’s just to get them to give it their all.” The deputy director shrugged, “The real target is still Lone Wolf, but Lone Wolf hasn’t messed up either. It’s not that easy to make a mistake with an order.”

The deputy director also planted a flag for herself.

For both of them, planting flags is actually a work-based adjustment, especially in clear situations.

For Lone Wolf and Red Moon, losing to each other does not count as messing up an order, because both companies are very strong.

But if they lose to the other three, that would be a real mistake, because the other three are much less powerful than Red Moon and Lone Wolf.

So messing up is just a joke.

Because there’s not just one order in play here, but two!
