192: Young people should move around more and have more fun.

After the two singers laughed for a while, the middle-aged singer looked out the door, patted the young singer Liu Lin, "Don't look, I just heard that Minister Bai is coming over in a bit."

Liu Lin pursed her lips.

Upon hearing the words Minister Bai, that stern yet strict face immediately appeared in her mind, and she quickly turned off her phone screen.

She was also a singer-songwriter, but she hadn't produced any good works in the past year.

Although Bai Liya wouldn't go so far as to forbid employees from watching variety shows, she was definitely the type of person who advocated for diligent study.

Since she hadn't achieved much, it was better to put on a show in front of her.

Just as she turned it off, a familiar figure turned the corner at the door.

The two stood up and said in unison, "Hello, Minister Bai."

Bai Liya nodded and smiled politely, "Don't be so formal, sit down. You just finished your training, right?"

Liu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

"Very good," Bai Liya poured herself a cup of coffee, leaned against the table, and looked at Liu Lin, "How have you been recently?"

Liu Lin's tone was firm, "I've been fully dedicated to studying recently, focusing on creation, allocating my energy in a 7:3 ratio, which has indeed been very effective."

"Keep it up, that's very good, maintain it."

Bai Liya raised her cup and left the pantry.

Liu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and seeing that Bai Liya had indeed left, she whispered to her colleague, "She's a bit like our old homeroom teacher; she gives me a feeling of being back in school."

The middle-aged singer chuckled, "Alright, she's not targeting you. I heard that Chen Fang was even criticized by her for being on variety shows and filming movies."

"Hiss—" Liu Lin gasped.

Her colleague glanced at her phone, "Hey, Nana's here, let's go, let's go eat."

"Okay."

The two stood up and walked through the corridor, just about to turn the corner when they heard Bai Liya and Tang Chen's conversation from not far away.

Bai Liya's voice sounded very happy, "Haha, let Chen Fang have a good time on the adventures. Young people should move around more, play more. What variety show do you want to go on next? If you need my help, feel free to contact me at any time."

Liu Lin and her colleague exchanged glances, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes. Was this still Bai Liya? The Bai Liya who advocated for singers to focus on music?

Liu Lin's mind was a bit muddled, and she blinked blankly.

...

At the same time, in the annex building of Tianji Entertainment.

In a large shared conference room on the floor where the qin dynasty storm Production Center was located, a progress meeting had just adjourned.

Because of the full participation and large number of people, they did not hold the meeting within the qin dynasty storm Production Center but borrowed the shared conference room on the same floor.

Colleagues dispersed one after another, leaving only the director and producer in their seats.

The music director, who had just finished his speech, was about to unplug the data cable connected to his computer when he heard the director's voice, "What did the Music Production Department say? Come over and tell me."

The music director stopped what he was doing and sat to the director's right, "The Music Production Department said they would try to come up with new ideas within a week."

"Hmm," the director's brows furrowed even more, "What was their attitude? The 12 demos they submitted before were quite a few, but the content felt a bit perfunctory. Did they express that they would take this seriously this time?"

The music director smiled awkwardly, "Director Liu, they said they would be serious. And honestly, I don't think they were perfunctory. It's just that ancient-style music has changed somewhat in recent years. What we need is the style from when wuxia films were more popular."

The director scoffed, tapping his finger on the table.

"We want the style from years ago, not the future style. With so many reference materials, can't they look them up? When we were making animation, we also looked up a lot of animation and TV dramas from the peak period of wuxia according to the client's requirements. Can't the Music Production Department go find some? Do they have to stick to the current music style? Isn't that being perfunctory?"

The producer patted his arm, "Calm down, calm down. I've told Old He from the Music Production Department about this requirement. They'll definitely go back and look up information this time. Let's wait a week and see. It'll be soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an email notification popped up on the large screen connected to the music director's computer.

From the Music Production Department email.

Subject: qin dynasty storm Soundtrack Demo - moonlight (V1.0) - Composer Chen Fang.

The director scoffed, "Heh, that's fast. Chen Fang's song? The one who sang cant learn?"

The music director stood up, walked to the computer, and opened the email, "It must be him, our company doesn't have any artists with the same name as him."

The director sighed, rubbed his temples, "I'm really fed up with the Music Production Department. The few songs Chen Fang has written recently are indeed good, but they're not at all in this style."

He slammed his pen on the table with a click, growing more dissatisfied with the Music Production Department. "What does the Music Production Department mean by this? Do they think Chen Fang is a popular artist in the company now, and we definitely won't refuse, so they just bring him out?"

The producer was also very confused, "Isn't he on a variety show? It's been ten days, hasn't it? Where did he find the time to write a song?"

The director crossed his arms, turned his head to look at the music director, "You just said they changed their attitude, look, what kind of attitude is this from the Music Production Department? The day before yesterday they said they changed personnel and would have a meeting immediately, and today they handed in a demo, is it a rocket? If you say they weren't perfunctory, who would believe it?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a soft yet steady male voice came from the doorway.

"Why is Director Liu so angry? What happened? Who in the Music Production Department is being so perfunctory with our project?"

The three simultaneously looked towards the door. A gentle and elegant middle-aged man walked in.

"Hello, Manager Fan."

The newcomer was the Deputy General Manager of the Music Center.

As a comprehensive entertainment company, Tianji Entertainment includes multiple business segments. All music business falls under the Music Center, which has departments such as the Music Production Department, Digital Distribution Department, and Music Festival Project Department.

The General Manager is the top boss, and the person in front of them was the Deputy General Manager. The Music Production Department was under his supervision.

The director was a bit embarrassed.

Although his position in the company was not low and he didn't need to be overly cautious, he had, after all, been overheard speaking ill of someone, and he had just spoken about Chen Fang, who was currently the Music Center's precious young talent. It was awkward nonetheless.

Even if he was dissatisfied with the Music Production Department regarding this matter, he could at most report it to Bai Liya; why bother alarming Fan Mingrui? Blowing it up to the senior management would be making a mountain out of a molehill and would hurt feelings too much.

The director smiled awkwardly and tried to patch things up, "Our requirements are relatively high, and the time given is short, so the Music Production Department might be a bit lost for now."
