  Chapter 28 Being both a father and a mother

Jiangcheng attaches great importance to this new job, and after returning home, he stayed up all night to make a reference material. Of course, he didn't write a long essay like a paper, but just summarized and analyzed the three major publishing houses and some other medium-sized publishing houses with good influence. Send it to Lin Zhibai.

  Lin Zhibai woke up at six in the morning.

   This is his regular wake-up time every morning.

  After waking up, Lin Zhibai saw the information sent by Jiang Cheng.

The information was sent at three o'clock at night. I'm afraid Jiangcheng stayed up late last night to check the information. The description is very concise and clear enough. Lin Zhibai is quite satisfied. It seems that the monthly salary of 100,000 yuan should not be too much In many cases, a person's work ability and attitude can be seen through some small things.

  Lin Zhibai went downstairs while reading the materials.

   Aunt Liu, the nanny, also woke up at this time. Seeing Lin Zhibai, she couldn't help being a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect you to wake up so early, I haven't made breakfast yet..."

"fine."

  Lin Zhibai thought for a while and said: "From now on, you can just make breakfast before 6:30, don't call me, I will come down to eat directly at that time."

"OK!"

  Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "I'll do it right now, how do you have breakfast?"

  Lin Zhibai said casually: "It's a regular breakfast, I don't have any taboos, just remember to change it every now and then."

"OK, wait!"

  Aunt Liu went into the kitchen and got busy.

  Twenty minutes later, Lin Zhibai sat at the dining table, eating fried eggs with bread and a glass of milk, and slowly finished reading the reference materials made by Jiang Cheng.

   "Just Nathan Bookstore."

  In the end, Lin Zhibai chose Nathan Bookstore.

  Because Lin Zhibai's "The Chair in the World" is a short story with a bit of reasoning and suspense.

  Nason Bookstore, there happens to be a well-known magazine called "Mysteries of Mysteries", which specializes in publishing related types of novels.

What?

   Backstab myth?

  Lin Zhibai's search for a spokesperson was originally to get rid of the myth, start a new stove, and set up a personal investment institution.

  The partner of his investment institution can be Nathan, Tianguang, of course, or Shinhwa. It mainly depends on which choice is more beneficial to Lin Zhibai's development.

certainly.

  At present, Lin Zhibai's personal strength is still very weak.

   Even if you really want to backstab Shinhwa, you don't have the qualifications.

  As for whether "The Chair in the World" can be finalized, Lin Zhibai was never worried.

   You must know that "The Chair in the World" is the work of Edogawa Ranpo, the editor of Nathan Bookstore should not even have this vision.

  In the previous life, there was a famous manga called "Death Elementary School Student".

  Oh, I seem to have misremembered, the manga should be called "Detective Conan"?

  The full name of the protagonist of the manga is Edogawa Conan, and the word "Conan" is a tribute to the author of "Sherlock Holmes", that is, Conan Doyle, the father of Sherlock Holmes.

  The word "Edogawa" is a tribute to "Edogawa Ranpo".

  Neon also has a particularly powerful reasoning award called the "Ranpo Award". The name of the award is also in memory of Edogawa Ranpo, a master of reasoning.

  The influence of Edogawa Ranpo can be seen from this.

   With this in mind.

  Lin Zhibai directly sent the manuscript of "The Chair in the World" to Jiang Cheng, and took advantage of the opportunity to tell the other party his decision, "Submit it to the reasoning magazine under Nathan's bookstore, and you can read the content first."

   Then.

  Lin Zhibai took another look at the season standings.

  Since "Song for Myself" reached the top position, its position has been extremely solid, and the data with the second place has a faint trend of further expansion.

  Lin Zhibai felt relieved.

  What Lin Zhibai didn't know was that he had now attracted Tian Guang's attention.

  A director of Tianguang Music Department looked at the season rankings and frowned and said, "We have suffered from him for two consecutive months. This Baidi cannot be underestimated. He will be on the guard list in the future!"

   "Last month was fine."

  Another executive said: "After all, our Tianguang was the first place last month, and he just squeezed out the top ten seats."

   "After all, it is also a top ten spot in a season."

   "But compared to this month's loss, last month's loss is really not a big deal."

   After all, Tianguang lost the first place this month.

   Someone asked in a low voice: "Is there any hope of getting the first place back?"

The supervisor next to him shook his head, "Zhang Xiyang's return has become a general trend, there is no need to entangle with the myth this month, we have a bright future, but we don't have to worry too much about Baidi, the season rankings are always changing, and accidental events emerge in endlessly, even if this person is not It is short-lived, and it is not qualified to be our real opponent of Tianguang."

"Fine."

  Tianguang gave up competing for the ranking.

   At this time, of course, not only the Tianguang family was paying attention to Baidi.

  As "Song for Myself" reached the top of the season rankings, his status became more and more unbreakable, and Baidi finally became a newcomer that the entire Qinzhou music scene had to pay attention to, and countless scrutiny eyes came to him for a while.

   “Didn’t become a flash in the pan.”

   "It's rare to see such a rookie who shines in two consecutive seasons. It seems that Shinhwa is expected to have another gold medal composer."

   "Composer, I think he is better at writing lyrics."

   "Currently his two songs are really good at writing lyrics, even faintly overshadowing the limelight of composing. Even if this person is only a songwriter in the future, he should be able to have a place in the industry."

   "This is what I want to say too. Lyric writing is his greatest strength."

   "If we leave aside the lyrics, most of his two songs will be eclipsed. Including if Zhang Xiyang hadn't sung a god-level live scene this month, the ranking is estimated to be around 80 or 90."

   "Frankly speaking, there is an element of luck."

   "It should be said that Zhang Xiyang, the singer, deserves more credit."

   "Why do I feel that you are sour? A good combination of lyrics and music is the effect of one plus one greater than two. Even some song fathers in the industry rarely write lyrics by themselves, so they have to cooperate with big names in the lyric writing industry."

"that is."

   "Since Baidi can sing lyrics and music, and can find the most suitable singer to cooperate with, that is his ability. Not to mention that he also arranges music, his ability can be said to be very comprehensive and balanced."

  Blue Star Music World is indeed the case.

   Lyrics, music and singing are all separate.

  Composers usually also act as an arranger, but rarely also as a lyricist. It is actually very rare for a composer to arrange both a song and an arrangement like Baidi.

   To use an old saying in the industry:

   This is called "being both a father and a mother" for a singer.

  …

the other side.

  It was already seven o'clock after Jiang Cheng woke up.

  Although he only slept for less than four hours in total.

  Using to work in Qizhou, Jiang Cheng often stayed up late and worked overtime, his health is still able to bear it, and he is still in the prime of life at the age of thirty-five.

   Turn on the phone.

  Jiang Cheng saw the message Lin Zhibai sent him, as well as a novel.

   "The human chair?"

  Jiang Cheng read it softly.

   Is this boss really a writer?

   Thinking that the other party's pseudonym seemed to have been improvised yesterday, Jiang Cheng couldn't help laughing. I'm afraid this young mysterious boss is writing a novel for the first time, right?

   Is it a whim?

  I don’t know how the boss’s writing skills are.

  I made the materials overnight last night, so don’t be embarrassed when the boss can’t pass the draft.

  Although it's not me who is embarrassed.

  Let’s take a look at it later, the boss said that he can take a look at it first, and he seems quite confident.

  Jiang Cheng woke up, washed up, ate something, then sat on a chair and read the novel sent by the boss...
