Of course, older people might not be able to tell. Then again, older people also happen to like square dancing, so it seems quite perfect when you think about it.

The opportunity might be a bit hard to find; I need to wait for the right moment to release the song. The original group in that other world didn't have every song become an instant hit. It took years of gradual development. But how could slow development work for me? I already have so many good cards in hand. Waiting for slow development would be ridiculous.

The plan for this group is set. I'll find a good opportunity and first release those previous square dance anthems. Then, through strategic promotion, I'll quickly popularize the songs. With rapid releases, I'll build up the fame of both individuals. Afterward, I'll gradually increase their influence and exposure.

As for the remaining two, Chu Tian frowned slightly as he considered them.

This Wu Ya used to be a pop singer. His voice is stable and clean, but his vocal range is rather narrow, and his timbre isn't particularly distinctive. However, he possesses a unique melancholic quality. This might not be apparent when just listening to his songs, but seeing him perform live is captivating and can be incredibly striking.

In that case, I could position him with the image of a Prince of Love Songs. There were so many songs from my past life. For that melancholic quality, songs by Gang would undoubtedly be the most suitable. Regardless, I'll have him release a song first to test the waters. Then, I'll see if he can get on a variety show to gain some exposure and attract some fans.

Finally, there was Sun Jian.

Chu Tian remembered this guy as soon as he saw his name; the impression was quite strong. This was mainly because Sun Jian had appeared very laid-back during their initial meeting. The records showed he was a folk singer, accustomed to a free-spirited lifestyle. He had been with his previous company for five years and was eventually kicked out when his contract ended.

It wasn't a major issue. The guy could sing well, had talent, and could even compose his own music. The main problem was his extreme laid-back attitude. He didn't want to attend commercial performances. If he did go, he would either cause trouble or be difficult. His only desire was to sing and write his own songs, and occasionally, he wanted to travel. He had no real ambitions. He was content with an artist's salary of four thousand yuan and earning just enough from singing occasionally to get by. As for Sun Jian himself, he was prone to wandering off, saying he wanted to see the great mountains and rivers, to experience the scenery.

Isn't that the epitome of an artistic youth? And why does this attitude seem so familiar? Isn't that just like Lei? No, that's not quite right. He doesn't possess Lei's talent, and his temperament isn't as stubborn either. Although he might disdain social graces, he still has some emotional intelligence. He knows right from wrong and understands courtesy and respect. He also got along quite well with everyone and had no particular aversion to the company. In other words, after being kicked out by his previous company, he's become much more compliant, as long as he can get a salary to support himself.

Chu Tian didn't really have any objections to this kind of personality.

As for his development, since he likes freedom, then I'll just give him freedom. Whether it works out or not is a separate issue. If he wants to be idle, he can be idle. If he wants to roam, he can roam. Who knows? Maybe one day he'll encounter some breathtaking scenery and compose a masterpiece. It's all uncertain. As for songs, I can write them for him, but whether he uses them or not is entirely up to him. If it doesn't work out in the end, so be it. If a few more years pass and he's still achieved nothing, at worst, it'll just be a case of 'blossoming for a second time' only to be swept out the door again.

Having considered all this, Chu Tian looked up at Sister Hua and said, "Sister Hua, I have a general idea for most of these people, except for Sun Jian. I'll get the songs for the others ready soon, and then we'll look for an opportunity to release them and test the waters. As for Sun Jian, let's just leave him be for now. I'll talk to him later. There's no need for us to get too involved with him yet."

Sister Hua certainly wouldn't refuse his suggestions. She had been worrying about how to manage these artists. Chu Tian having ideas was the best-case scenario; it would save her so much trouble.

"Alright then, you handle it. I'll have the studio's departments cooperate with you. If you need anything, just contact them directly."

Then, she quickly remembered something and added, "Oh, right, Yiyi is coming back soon. You can talk to her when she returns; I'll put her in charge of this area."

"Yiyi's coming back? I just saw her video chatting with Qingqiu the other day."

As soon as Chu Tian heard Yiyi was returning, he was the first to breathe a sigh of relief.

Folks, who even gets it? I've practically become a dedicated chef these days. Although cooking for his girlfriend wasn't a big deal, doing it every day was becoming tedious, and he wanted a break too. But his girlfriend was so busy every day, practically swamped, and it pained him to see her not eating or sleeping well. What could he do? It seemed he was the only idle person around. If he didn't cook, who would? Now that Yiyi was coming back, he finally felt liberated.

Chu Tian asked, "What did Yiyi say? She didn't badmouth me too much, did she?"

Li Chunhua couldn't help but smile when she remembered Yiyi pitifully complaining about not eating or sleeping well there. That little foodie's good days had ended abruptly once she went for training. Previously, when she was with Xu Qingqiu, she got her food, drinks, clothes, and other necessities from her. Xu Qingqiu didn't mind at all and even enjoyed sharing things with her. But this time was different. If she wanted snacks, she had to buy them herself. If she wanted a proper meal, she could only order takeout. The problem was that many takeout options didn't suit her taste, leaving her dissatisfied. Could you blame her for feeling aggrieved?

Sister Hua replied, "How could that be? She just missed home and missed Qingqiu. They spent a whole night discussing cosmetics."

It was true. Xu Qingqiu also wasn't used to Yiyi not being around. Mainly, she missed having someone to chat with when she got home at night. The two of them would often get together and chat about things like trying a new brand of foundation, whether it was good, how it compared to other brands, and so on. Chu Tian couldn't understand these topics. Besides Yiyi, Xu Qingqiu had no one else to discuss such things with. Now, Yiyi was finally coming back.

Sister Hua continued, "It's good she didn't complain about me. She's all grown up now but isn't dating or focused on a proper career. She's such a grown woman. She should either marry early and settle down to a peaceful life, or show some career ambition and achieve something significant. Can she just plan to lie in bed and be provided for all her life?"

Observing Sister Hua's expression of someone despairing over a promising talent not meeting expectations, Chu Tian merely raised an eyebrow and didn't dare to speak.

You're single yourself—part of those 'Single audiences' they talk about—yet you're calling Yiyi a 'grown woman'? Besides, isn't lying in bed and being provided for your whole life a good thing? That was his dream, wasn't it? Unfortunately, while he once thought he could achieve it, it seems impossible without money. Moreover, he didn't plan to end up alone. Having a girlfriend meant having ties. Even if he didn't want to make an effort, someone would pull him along. Otherwise, he would either drag his girlfriend down or be dumped by her. That's the reality of life. But Yiyi is different. She has Xu Qingqiu to support her; how could she starve? However, for Sister Hua, being idle was shameless. It's just a difference in personal perception. There was no need for him to argue. Besides, learning some skills is a good thing.

Sister Hua didn't say much more. After venting a few complaints, she steered the conversation back to work.

"So, when do you think would be a suitable time? These artists have been getting really restless lately; they're itching for some action."

She was referring to the new artists they had recently signed. It had been so long; how could they not be anxious? Regardless of what they did before, they all had a way to make a living. Earning eight or ten thousand yuan a month wasn't a problem for them. But since joining the studio, it had been constant training, with only a basic salary of four thousand yuan. Who wouldn't be anxious in such a situation? They're all adults, and no one wants to miss out on earning money.

Chu Tian hadn't thought much about this particular point just then, but he already had plans in mind.

"In the next couple of days. I plan to give Li Guang a song first to test the waters."

"The next couple of days? That's so soon?" Sister Hua looked at him in surprise, hesitating over how to respond. "Isn't that too rushed? Promotion, warm-up, and preparations all need time. A couple of days seems a bit too hurried, don't you think?"

Chu Tian replied, "It is indeed a bit rushed. We'll see when the time comes."

Chu Tian nodded, but his mind was made up. It mainly depended on Li Guang's progress with the new song. Chu Tian intended to give him a song to try out. If Li Guang could familiarize himself with it quickly and meet Chu Tian's expectations, then the sooner, the better.

"Let Li Guang test the waters first. Afterward, I'll make arrangements for Chen Feng, Yang Lin, and Wu Ya based on the situation."
