Producer System: My Girlfriend is a Cellist-Chapter 163 - 132: Music Manager, On Duty!
Chapter 163: Chapter 132: Music Manager, On Duty!
"Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Lin Tian was somewhat puzzled.
"It’s just... if one day, I let you down, and you find that I’m not the cellist you imagined, maybe there’s someone more suitable for your music than me..."
"Don’t say that."
Lin Tian, with his hand on his forehead, uttered word by word,
"No one is more suitable for my music than Mr. Gan, OK?"
"....."
Gan Yanyu didn’t say anything.
Just then—
"hello!"
A man wearing glasses and holding a tablet appeared next to the dining table and extended his hand in greeting.
"Hey, there you are."
Gao Zhenyang immediately got up and shook hands with the man.
"Who is this?"
"Let me introduce, this is my friend, a professional music agent, He Zhichen."
"Oh."
Lin Tian suddenly realized. "Hello."
Gan Yanyu looked puzzled until Gao Zhenyang turned his head and explained to her:
"Some time ago, when Teacher Lin Tian was preparing for the art exam at my place, he specifically asked me to introduce him to a good music agent after the Star Cup."
"Ah... I see."
"I told you about it," Lin Tian reminded.
"When?"
"Last Thursday at dinner."
"Did you?..."
"We had kelp and pork bone soup that day."
"Oh, I seem to remember that now."
"..."
Indeed, mentioning food was necessary to jog her memory.
Lin Tian’s thought was simple.
He and Gan Yanyu were bound to look for a professional agent sooner or later.
Rather than searching blindly, it would be better for the trustworthy Gao Zhenyang to help introduce someone.
Before becoming a university professor, Gao Zhenyang was also a music agent, and with his current status in the Music Association, his connections were much wider.
Even after finding an agent, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu didn’t have to sign with a company so quickly; his plan was to employ someone in a personal capacity for a while, pay a "consultancy fee", and get familiar with the circle first.
Unexpectedly, Gao Zhenyang was incredibly efficient. The competition just ended today, and he couldn’t wait to bring him over to get acquainted.
"Come, let me introduce you."
Gao Zhenyang patted He Zhichen’s shoulder and stretched out his hand, preparing to point at Lin Tian and the others.
But He Zhichen adjusted his glasses frame and started operating the tablet.
Taking the lead, he said:
"I know, this is Teacher Gan Yanyu, born December 2005, 166 cm tall, granddaughter of the famous cellist Gan Hua, chairperson of Xin Hai Global Trade Company and Gan’s Future Film Company, and the only daughter of Gan Cheng.
She has been learning the cello for 13 years and has been a professional cellist for 7 years. She attends Qingzhou Seventh Middle School, took a rest in the UK for one year and eight months last year, returned to China in September this year, made a comeback at the Soul Concert in October, specializes in classical music, and currently has an overall good rating of 92.7% on all Qingzhou music forums and a media composite score of 9.7 points."
"— Hello."
After his speech, He Zhichen nodded to Gan Yanyu.
Gan Yanyu was completely stunned.
After a while, the young girl also nodded her head,
"Hello..."
Is this, like, big data stuff?
This speech also had quite an impact on Lin Tian.
Why does he seem more like a programmer than a music agent?
After speaking to Gan Yanyu, He Zhichen shifted his gaze towards Lin Tian.
"This person here is Teacher Lin Tian, born in ’05, 185 cm tall, with abs, living alone, family relationships and parents’ details unknown.
Attends Qingzhou Seventh Middle School, consistently ranks top five in his class scores, especially excels in Mathematics and Physics, usually maintaining first place in these subjects within his grade. Moreover, he is proficient in creating various styles of classical music. The account ’Moonlight and Cat’ that he created has 4.38 million followers across the network, with over 300 million video views, and a total popularity exceeding one billion. His music scores an average of over 9.8 on all major authoritative music forums."
"——Hello."
"Hello hello!"
Lin Tian immediately stood up and shook hands with He Zhichen.
When he heard He Zhichen say "185 cm and has abs," he knew.
This person is reliable!
"I myself am 27 years old this year, graduated from Zhongnan University, and currently a talent agent at ’Le Yun’ agency." He Zhichen revealed a very friendly smile.
"Good."
"Chen is an old friend of mine. If you guys have any questions, you can ask him; as long as it’s not higher than the market price, he will try his best to help you in his personal capacity."
Gao Zhenyang said,
"If you’re going to sign a contract later, Chen will also try to help you fight for the maximum benefits."
"Um."
With Gao Zhenyang’s assurance, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu naturally felt much more at ease.
After both sat down again, He Zhichen continued to work on his tablet,
"Teacher Lin Tian, according to my current estimates, your hidden commercial value has already exceeded 18 million. If you are willing to sign with a record company and release an album, given the current active fanbase and the calculated potential paying customers, the estimated first-month sales of the physical album..."
He Zhichen paused, then entered some calculations on a calculator.
Then, he picked up the tablet and announced the calculated result—
"It won’t be less than 110,000 copies!"
First-month sales of 110,000 physical albums.
That’s bold to say.
Lin Tian was somewhat shocked.
The physical album industry itself has already plummeted to rock bottom, moreover, the album he would release would be a classical music album.
To sell 3,000 copies would be really good.
However, believe it or not, He Zhichen’s calculations sounded very inspiring.
"Let’s not worry about this for now."
Gao Zhenyang extended his hand, blocking He Zhichen’s tablet,
"Both teachers haven’t completed their studies yet, no rush about the record!"
"Are the two teachers planning to participate in arts exams next?"
He Zhichen politely said, "If you don’t mind, I can prepare sufficient data for the arts exams for both teachers, data that outside arts exam agencies can’t get. I’ll do my best to help both teachers achieve good results in the arts exams."
"Then we’ll leave it to you, Teacher He Zhichen!"
Lin Tian didn’t mince words and stood up. freёwebnoѵel.com
"Just call me Chen."
"I guess that makes you too young; so let’s go with Brother Chen." Lin Tian smiled.
Then,
Their hands tightly clasped together.
From today onwards, the music agents for Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu officially started their duties.
...
The next day at noon.
Gan Yanyu came to Lin Tian’s home early, and after having breakfast together, they promptly sat in front of the computer.
At 10 o’clock, the results of the competition will be timely published on the official website of the Star Cup.
Then, all the music media will simultaneously relay the information.
As time ticked by, Lin Tian and Gan Yanyu’s hearts were also in their throats.
With the official website’s refresh—
The results of the competition came out!
Nearly the moment he saw the name at the very top of the list...
Lin Tian’s heart immediately sank to the bottom.
It’s over!
