Chapter 101: Soliciting Songs

"Yan Liang?"

Chen Ziliang frowned, sneered, and said: "Who is he again?"

Agent Yan Wei said: "Another member of Lu Yan He's group."

"Ha." Chen Ziliang immediately chuckled. "Just another nameless idol."

Yan Wei smiled and said: "When their group debuted, they were a bit popular, but later they were on a downward slope. Except for Li Zhibai and Cheng Hai, whose popularity is slightly higher, they are all nameless idols."

Chen Ziliang mocked: "Hou Jun can't find anyone, so he can't just send any cat or dog to the stage."

He had absolutely no guilt about temporarily dropping out.

Regarding the show "Small Song Gathering," he didn't care about it himself. But for the episode aired on Sunday night, he should have been the one receiving the most attention, yet the production team promoted that young idol named Lu Yan He.

Not only was a simple, perfunctory song bought onto the trending list, but they also invited many music critics to evaluate this song.

Chen Ziliang had long been dissatisfied with Hou Jun and his director team.

This new song was a light rock style song. He originally wanted to use this show to promote the song, but who knew Hou Jun kept telling him that this song was not suitable for the show. During rehearsals, Chen Ziliang couldn't sing the effect from the recording studio every time he sang, which annoyed him. If he really recorded the show like this, the performance of this song would definitely be a Waterloo, so Chen Ziliang refused to record even if it meant breaching the contract.

"However, speaking of this matter, it is also our breach of contract. Hou Jun and the others should come to trouble us later," Yan Wei said.

"What are you afraid of? Aren't other shows on their Aurora platform inviting us to go? Say hello to their senior management; would Hou Jun really dare to sue us?" Chen Ziliang didn't take the breach of contract to heart at all.

For a popular singer like Chen Ziliang, this level of breach of contract could be said to be a common occurrence.

Basically, no one would hold him accountable with a contract.

If you trouble him for breaching the contract this time, will you still look for him to cooperate next time? It doesn't matter if you don't look for him; the platform you are on will always look for him. Since they all have common interests, many things won't be done to the extreme.

"Is that song really written by Lu Yan He?" Chen Ziliang frowned slightly. "The songs we've received recently are all very mediocre. Could it be that there are no other songs?"

Yan Wei was very helpless and said: "Many companies are collecting songs now, and it's difficult for us to compete with others, especially well-known composers and lyricists. Their schedules are booked until next year or the year after, and we can't book them at all."

Now major agencies are promoting newcomers, and the volume of song collection is very large. Although Chen Ziliang is a popular singer and has been constantly collecting songs, he has high requirements, and there are few songs that can meet his requirements. Others will also take a fancy to such good songs and snatch them.

Chen Ziliang said to Yan Wei: "Since Lu Yan He can write songs, let the company buy his songs."

Yan Wei looked at Chen Ziliang in surprise.

"You are willing to sing songs written by him?"

"As long as it's a good song and can become popular, why wouldn't I be willing?" Chen Ziliang said.

Only then did Yan Wei realize that he had underestimated Chen Ziliang in the past.

He thought Chen Ziliang was someone who relied on his high popularity and was relatively popular, so he had a high spirit and didn't take others seriously.

In fact, Chen Ziliang did indeed have such a problem.

However, he actually asked him to go and buy songs from Lu Yan He.

It seems that Chen Ziliang is not someone whose spirit is so high that it blinds his eyes, preferring to give up benefits rather than bow his head.

"Soliciting songs?"

On Tuesday noon, Lu Yan He didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch but stayed in the classroom, waiting for Li Pengfei to bring him food.

He didn't want to experience the scene of being watched by others like yesterday again.

Then, Lu Yan He received a friend request, with the note "Music Director of Star Entertainment."

Chen Si.

Once the friend was added, the person introduced their background and purpose.

They were here to solicit songs from Lu Yan He.

Chen Si said to Lu Yan He in a voice call: "I watched the show 'Small Song Gathering' and knew that the song 'Commemoration' was written by you, so I contacted you to ask if you are willing to write songs for our company's singers. I really like your music style and also want to solicit a few songs from you. The price will definitely be fair."

Lu Yan He was surprised.

He hesitated and said: "I am not a professional composer. The song 'Commemoration' was also written after a long time, and I haven't written any other works."

Chen Si: "Does the first work have such quality? You have great creative talent."

Lu Yan He awkwardly said thank you.

"I am full of sincerity, Yan He. I know that you yourself are a singer, but I heard that you are preparing for the college entrance exam and will not arrange acting work in the short term. If you create new works, I am very willing to buy them," Chen Si said.

Lu Yan He thought seriously and didn't refuse directly, saying: "Alright, then I will contact you when I create new works."

Who knows if he will embark on the path of writing songs in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Si turned to Yan Wei, who was standing beside her, and said: "You heard it, he doesn't have any other works. To be honest, although the song 'Commemoration' is written well, it is too youthful and not very suitable for Chen Ziliang. I gave you a few demos before; has Chen Ziliang listened to them? He doesn't like them? Those were all carefully selected by me and are very suitable for him."

Yan Wei said: "He wants to break through and wants songs with a different style. The few songs you sent before are not much different from before; they are all in the same vein, and he doesn't want to repeat."

"How long has he been popular before he doesn't want to repeat? His popularity hasn't stabilized yet. Why do these young people nowadays think about transforming and wanting more styles?" Chen Si frowned, somewhat dissatisfied, and said: "To be honest, those old singers in the past sang for ten or twenty years before they thought about transforming because their styles didn't change and their fans were lost. Now it's better; after releasing an album, they want to change a style. Does he think he is a chameleon? Constantly changing styles means constantly changing fans. You are his agent, and you let him toss like this?"

Yan Wei smiled helplessly and said: "What can I do? You know his temper. If I say something heavy, he will directly tell the company that he wants to change agents."

Chen Si: "Then he is too arrogant. He was brought up by you single-handedly. Without you, could his half-catty, half-eight-tael stuff support him for a few years?"

"That's what I said." Yan Wei didn't continue. "Alright, please continue to help us collect some good songs. On one hand, we are recording a new album, and on the other hand, he hasn't released a new single for a long time. It's either covering other people's songs or adapting old songs."

"Sigh, who let his style not be suitable for singing film and television OSTs? Now OST is the hot market." ===== CHAPTER 102 =====
