The speed of Shui Yun’s songs isn’t usually fast.

In fact, it’s pretty hard to speed up ballads.

But since the order requested a distinct style from Shui Yun’s previous works, there needed to be some differences.

What could be different?

Lin Yuan, after accidentally hearing Shui Yun singing at a faster tempo, suddenly thought:

The best way for Shui Yun to differentiate herself from her past would be for this slow ballad singer to suddenly get lively!

So, Lin Yuan thought of “Everywhere Kisses”.

There were numerous heart-pumping tunes in the System’s music library.

But in order to be energetic and retain Shui Yun’s uniqueness, the choices were, in fact, quite limited.

Lin Yuan couldn’t guarantee that his choice would meet the order requirements perfectly.

But he thought that “Everywhere Kisses” would at least be adequate.

Because this song was actually able to bring out Shui Yun’s performance characteristics.

Despite being a common love theme, it wasn’t the typical sorrow of love lost, it instead made jest of and accused a rotten man from a woman’s perspective—

It was quite entertaining, to say the least.

The song makes one want to tap their feet along with the rhythm.

Its effects are even better when accompanied by a video.

The song’s information showed that the lyrics were written by Albert Leung. For those who don’t know him, they can find more about him on the internet.

The composition is by Lei Songde.

Again, there’s no need for much introduction, you just need to know that his status in the composition field is equivalent to that of Albert Leung in the lyric field.

The song was quite remarkable, to say the least.

But, with a remarkable song comes a price, and when the System gave its rate, Lin Yuan almost flinched.

“The customization price is 2 million.”

Out of an order of 3 million, the System’s charge was as high as 2 million!

Lin Yuan couldn’t figure out if the song was remarkable or if the System just seized this opportunity to increase the price. Either way, Lin Yuan felt the System was getting greedier: “Why is each custom song getting more expensive, could you be a little cheaper, how about 100,000?”

Lin Yuan wanted to negotiate the price.

The System ignored him: “Do you want to customize it?”

The System was unfeeling; Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to customize “Everywhere Kisses” because this order was special. It wasn’t for a specific person, so there wasn’t any additional singer’s share.

In other words.

Shui Yun was not taking any money.

She was the one paying.

It made sense when you thought about it, I tailored a song for you, I’m going to sing it for you, and you still want to be paid?

It was illogical.

In addition to this, the song download share also belonged to Starlight Music.

Orders were orders.

Song download shares were always Lin Yuan’s default base.

This part of the rights was by default on party B, otherwise, the Qi Continent music industry wouldn’t be able to continue its development.

Seven Star had spent 3 million, their intention was clearly for Shui Yun to perform this song, which belonged to the singing rights in the contract’s description copyright.

Therefore, Lin Yuan felt that the 3 million order was a fair deal.

“Ding dong.”

Just as the song customization was finished, the System suddenly announced: “The host now has the ability to independently select a song. In future, the host has to decide for himself which song to select for all orders.”

“Oh.”

Lin Yuan felt neither sadness nor joy.

The System meant that the selection of “Everywhere Kisses” was up to par.

As for choosing songs in the future, as long as the System opens the library, Lin Yuan was fine with it because he didn’t think it would be difficult to choose songs.

Take this time for instance.

The only place that required his professional consideration was nothing more than the singer’s own range and style, and his understanding of music. Lin Yuan felt that as long as he put in effort, it would be enough.

Assuming this was an exam.

Although Lin Yuan couldn’t directly see the standard answers on the test paper, the reference book was right next to him. If he was flipping through the reference book while taking the test, he could surely score well.

Now that the song was ready.

Should it be sent directly?

Of course not.

The order had only been made a few days ago.

Lin Yuan’s speed of completing orders was already fast enough. Any faster would be somewhat unrealistic. He definitely had to get a grip on this timing issue.

Another Saturday.

Lin Yuan came to the company again.

Before he even had the chance to sit down, he saw Gu Qiangyun walking in with a grin: “Would Mr. Lin like to take a look at the new orders?”

“Hmm.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

Seeing this, Gu Qiangyun’s smile widened.

He was only here to test the waters.

If Mr. Lin was still hung up on the Seven Star order, then he would definitely not be interested in the new orders; but if he showed interest in the new orders, this meant that Mr. Lin had given up on the Seven Star order!

It seemed like he had given up on it.

It was good that he gave up!

Stubbornly sticking to the order only held back the operation.

In no time, many order documents were laid out in front of Lin Yuan. It seemed that there were more orders in the company recently than before.

However, there were lots of orders but none that Lin Yuan liked: “Where are the 3 million orders?”

Just like the last time he looked.

The most expensive order was only 2 million.

Gu Qiangyun grinned bitterly: “Mr. Lin, are you only interested in orders of 3 million now?”

Lin Yuan replied: “No.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiangyun’s spirit was uplifted.

Lin Yuan added: “Orders above 3 million would be better.”

Gu Qiangyun’s spirits fell again, forcing a smile: “Mr. Lin, there are many clients in Qi Continent but orders of 3 million are quite rare. Even for top-tier production companies like Red Moon or Lone Wolf, their usual orders range from 1 million to 2 million…”

Seeing Lin Yuan remain silent, Gu Qiangyun continued:

“Orders of more than 3 million are usually only taken by companies ranked in the top ten in the industry. We took two because one time the deadline was too tight, Thunderbolt only gave us a month, and the other time it was a competitive order; as you saw, it’s not easy to win against Red Moon and Lone Wolf.”

Lin Yuan frowned.

The System’s customization price was pretty high, if the client only paid 2 million, there wasn’t much point in spending 2 million on System customization.

“How about Mr. Lin considers the 2 million ones?” Gu Qiangyun looked expectantly at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan shook his head: “Let’s wait a bit.”

Gu Qiangyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Lin Yuan had just finished two orders and indeed needed some time to rest.

This had nothing to do with how long Mr. Lin planned to stay in Qi Continent, even a top composer needed rest, they couldn’t be expected to constantly churn out works without a break.

“By the way.”

Just as he was about to leave the office, Gu Qiangyun suddenly added: “Due to Mr. Lin’s success with the orders, our company has entered the top 100 of Qi Continent’s music production company rankings. If Mr. Lin is interested, he can check out the rankings.”

“Alright.”

“Also…”

It seemed that Gu Qiangyun had made a somewhat tough decision: “I want to formally reorganize the branch company, focusing on areas like talent and management. I wonder what Mr. Lin’s thoughts are on this?”

“None.”

Lin Yuan didn’t understand company management.

Gu Qiangyun said seriously: “I will take care of the company’s management while Mr. Lin can focus on songwriting.”
