Chapter 362 Entertainment Company

Jiang City,

Inside a restaurant.

Zhang Lan looked at the Club members, happily raised her glass, and excitedly shouted,

"Cheers to our song making it into the top ten of the New Song Chart!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"……"

Several Club members also raised their glasses and clinked them together.

Shen Rou watched this scene and also raised a glass of drink, taking a sip with them.

Seeing Zhang Lan's excited expression, she was also very happy.

Since the last sports event, after two songs were uploaded to the music platform and entered the top one hundred of the New Song Chart,

Zhang Lan and the Club members had successively created three more songs.

Two of them did not receive much positive feedback and did not enter the New Song Chart.

However, one of the songs was like a dark horse, with its popularity soaring and being highly favored by audiences on the music platform.

Just yesterday,

That song directly climbed to the top ten of the New Song Chart.

She didn't know how much influence being in the top ten would have, but through Zhang Lan's description, she roughly understood some things.

This New Song Chart also had its inside stories.

Some well-known singers, or singers backed by famous Entertainment Companies, would often use their 'money power' to directly place their new songs in the top few positions on the chart.

The purpose was to increase the songs' exposure.

Of course, there were also some rival Entertainment Companies that would even trigger a 'money power' battle to ensure their own singers were in the first position on the chart.

Therefore,

To appear in the top few positions on the New Song Chart, it was basically either because your 'money power' was exceptional, or your song was genuinely very popular with the platform users.

And Zhang Lan and her team clearly did not have 'money power'.

For a new song to appear in the top ten of the New Song Chart, it absolutely meant that the song was of very high quality and extremely popular with the platform users.

"Xiaoxiao, I have some new ideas for a song. When I get back, let's discuss it. I feel it's very suitable for you."

After a glass of wine,

Zhang Lan looked up at Li Xiaoxiao and said excitedly.

A new song entering the top ten was naturally a cause for joy, but they couldn't be complacent. They still needed to create new songs as soon as possible.

"Mm!"

Li Xiaoxiao nodded with a faint expression, then hesitated and slowly said,

"Lanlan, don't you think we're at a disadvantage like this?"

"Disadvantage? What do you mean?"

Zhang Lan looked at Li Xiaoxiao with some confusion. She didn't quite understand what Li Xiaoxiao meant by 'disadvantage'.

"It's about the New Song Chart! We're currently ranked ninth, and this is entirely based on the quality of our song. But after reaching ninth, it just won't go any higher."

"It's clear that the top eight new songs all have backing. It's simply impossible for us to surpass them."

"But I've listened to their songs, and they simply can't compare to ours. This is truly too disadvantageous for us!"

Li Xiaoxiao said with some unwillingness.

Their song clearly deserved a higher ranking, but in the end, it was defeated by the lack of 'money power'.

Listening to Li Xiaoxiao's words, Zhang Lan sighed helplessly.

How could she not know about such things?

But given the current situation of their studio, this was all they could do. After all, the Club was still in its initial stages of creation, even if a few songs had received some good feedback.

However, the income was not enough for them to invest in the New Song Chart.

She looked at Li Xiaoxiao, who was sitting opposite her, and comforted her,

"This is just the early stage of the Club. As we create more and more good songs, it definitely won't be like this anymore."

"We don't need to wait! We can completely leverage the popularity of this song and join an Entertainment Company. With an Entertainment Company's help, the problem will be solved! And it's not just about the New Song Chart; we can also get more resources with the help of an Entertainment Company."

"Isn't this much better than us running our own music studio?!"

Li Xiaoxiao said enthusiastically, looking at Zhang Lan with anticipation.

At the same time, the other two Club members, Wu Jie and Xu Lei, also looked up at Zhang Lan.

They seemed eager to know Zhang Lan's opinion.

Zhang Lan frowned slightly upon hearing Li Xiaoxiao's words, and looked at Li Xiaoxiao, speaking calmly.

"Have Entertainment Companies contacted you?"

Actually, she didn't need to ask; she already knew the answer.

Just yesterday, when their song reached the top ten of the New Song Chart, Entertainment Companies had already contacted her, but she had rejected them without any hesitation.

And since those Entertainment Companies could contact her, they could naturally also contact other members of the Club.

Her gaze swept over Li Xiaoxiao, Wu Jie, and Xu Lei.

She already understood that all three of them had received invitations from Entertainment Companies.

She thought for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Joining an Entertainment Company will certainly provide many resources, but are some of those resources truly beneficial for creating music? And there will definitely be many restrictions. This will undoubtedly greatly affect our music creation."

"Moreover, Entertainment Companies are very realistic. Now, because one of our songs entered the top ten of the New Song Chart, they see our commercial value. But one day, if we lose our commercial value, will the Entertainment Company still value us and give us resources?"

"………"

Zhang Lan laid out all the pros and cons of joining an Entertainment Company.

Compared to joining an Entertainment Company to gain more resources, she preferred creating songs in that humble basement.

Although it was tough, there were no restrictions.

But joining an Entertainment Company was different; they wouldn't let you focus solely on creation. They would definitely arrange corresponding activities for you.

For example, if you suddenly had an inspiration that could potentially lead to a great song,

But the company suddenly assigned you a task to film a commercial, would you go or not?

If you went, that inspiration might be wasted.

If you didn't go, it would be disobeying the company's orders.

No matter what you did, it wouldn't be the right choice.

Unless you could guarantee that every song you wrote was a good one.

But no one could guarantee that.

After various considerations, she was not inclined to join an Entertainment Company, and she also believed that as long as they continued to write good songs, their music studio would eventually overcome its current difficulties.

Why rely on an Entertainment Company?

Li Xiaoxiao and the others fell silent after hearing Zhang Lan's explanation.

Soon,

Everyone smiled and stopped discussing the Entertainment Company, starting to talk about other things.

Shen Rou sat beside Zhang Lan, quietly observing the scene.

Although she had invested in the Music Club, she was not interested in matters concerning Entertainment Companies.

However,

She clearly felt that after the discussion about the Entertainment Company,

Although everyone outwardly wore smiles, the atmosphere of the entire gathering had become somewhat subtle, no longer as harmonious as it was at the beginning.

After realizing this,

Shen Rou looked at Zhang Lan with some concern. Regardless of the reason, this situation was very unfavorable for a newly established Club.
