Chapter 75
The entire afternoon, Mira and Gavin practiced “Echoes of Her.” Gavin’s vocal skills were profound, and he offered Mira guidance several times.
In addition, Mira brought out another soul-stirring song, “Someone Like Me p>
They would practice them first, and once the equipment was set up, they could go straight to production and release.
“Boss-no, Miss Mercer, I have a friend who is also a great singer and a decent actor. Could he come over p>
“Of course. I trust your judgment. You can invite anyone with exceptional talent in this area. Also, we need a Music Director. You can fill the role temporarily, but if you know anyone suitable, you can recommend them. Don’t worry, for every talent you scout who successfully signs with us, I’ll give you a bonus p>
“Great. I’d be happy to help p>
Gavin had started treating her with a newfound professional respect, his tone shifting from casual to deferential. and his attitude had transformed from initial disdain to admiration and respect. It wasn’t often one found such a good boss, and Gavin was full of motivation. From now on, he wouldn’t have to endure that cutthroat, two-faced environment where people were pushed around and suppressed.
A music director is typically a high-level or core management position, bearing significant responsibilities. The role requires comprehensive musical literacy and a keen aesthetic sense, meaning it must be filled by a seasoned industry professional. Gavin’s current skill level was clearly not enough.
Mira had asked for his help because she knew he had a very accomplished teacher named Callum Wright. This man was not only exceptionally talented but also had extensive connections in the entertainment industry.
However, Callum was currently employed at Shane’s company. That large entertainment company was overflowing with talent, and Callum was only a deputy director, not particularly valued. With a recommendation from his student Gavin, combined with a generous offer, Mira believed he would be willing to come over.
At Mercer Vision Entertainment.
“Dad, Mira’s song ‘Silent Comet’
from yesterday is already trending. It has over ten million views and is in the top ten on the download charts.
It’s on all the other eight charts a well. Should we bring her in and ask who wrote the song?” Ethan discussed with his father, Adrian. He knew that a good songwriter was the real kingmaker. Anyone who could write such a song must be extraordinary.
“Don’t mention that defiant girl. Are you suggesting we stoop so low as to apologize to her? Besides, she’s just a girl. Without the backing of the Mercer family, what kind of good songwriter could she possibly find? Isn’t she hanging out with that washed up Lania, the one with a checkered past? sure that song was her doing. You know what Lania is capable of. If she really had talent, would she be hiding away as a simple art teacher? Even if she managed one hit, it was just a fluke. She won’t produce any more masterpieces. It’s not worth our time p>
Mercer Vision Entertainment had no shortage of excellent songwriters.
Adrian pondered for a moment. “When you have time, focus more on Mara. That girl has a lot of potential. Let’s use the release of her new song to brand her as a rising star and launch her career p>
Ethan thought his father’s reasoning was sound and agreed to leave it at that.
At the Mercer Group’s subsidiary, Mercer Vision Entertainment, everyone was busy, and a tense atmosphere was quietly spreading. Adrian had even pushed aside his other business to oversee the company with Ethan, a testament to the scale of the operation. Although Mercer Vision Entertainment was just a subsidiary, its business had been climbing steadily, ranking in the top three among all the group’s project sectors.
The new song, “You in the Sunset,” which had been in preparation for months, was about to be released. It was written and composed by Mercer Vision Entertainment’s chief songwriter, Vincent Hale, and performed by the “Prince of Pop,” Damon, and the company’s most popular singer, Paige Harlow.
