After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 110 The big coffee belittles, the queen criticizes

The entertainment industry in this world is the same as the earth, there are various award ceremonies at the end of each year.

The most important thing in the Chinese music scene is the award ceremony of the two rankings. The evaluation of each award is not only based on sales, but also combined with many factors.

Some people may say that it doesn't matter if you win an award or not, as long as the record sells well, it will still be popular.

This is just a layman's point of view. In the circle, singers of the same level have completely different status whether they have won the corresponding awards or not.

To give the simplest example, actress A’s album sales are overwhelming, but because of her poor singing skills and frequent scandals, Grammys are not welcome, while actress B’s album sales are not as good as actress A’s, but because of her outstanding singing skills, she is no longer welcome. Grammys are considered treasures.

The result is that Actress A debuted for more than ten years and will always be a queen in the circle, while Actress B is the recognized queen in the circle.

Of course, the world music circle pays more attention to the hard indicators of sales, but it is undeniable that whether to win important awards is also very important for a singer!
Li Kai remained silent for a while, shook his head and smiled: "There are hundreds of well-known songwriters in the circle, not to mention a thousand, and there are only nine. Is this called one-sided?"

Ni Houdao said: "I'm afraid it will spread. After all, you are still a newcomer. You slapped four songwriters, including Lu Bin and two singers. This slap is a bit harsh. People who don't like your way of doing things probably don't few."

Li Kai didn't deny it, but spread his hands: "The slap has already been thrown, I can't let me apologize in the newspaper, and next time, I will try my best to restrain myself."

After finishing speaking, he patted Ni Houdao's arm: "Teacher Ni, calm down, I've gone through the storms of last week, so what's the point now?"

Li Kai turned to comfort him, Ni Houdao couldn't laugh or cry, but he was right after thinking about it, he seemed too sensitive.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Ni Houdao is sensitive. At one time and another, last week Li Kai was a pure rookie, but now it’s different. Although Li Kai is still a newcomer, based on the sales of the single in the first week, its weight is already comparable to the second-tier.

People have some things, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses.

After all, there are very few people with such a big heart as Li Kai. You must know that this big heart was sharpened by 16 encounters in the past 36 years of Bei Piao.

A big heart is not to be indifferent to everything, but to be open-minded, to gain calmly, lose calmly, let nature take its course, and strive for what is inevitable.

Had lunch.

Li Kai didn't go back to the office area, but took Su Ting to Ning Lan's exclusive lounge.

Ning Lan's single will be released tomorrow, and Li Kai specially booked a train ticket for tomorrow afternoon, just to wait for her single press conference to end before returning home.

Li Kai has the final decision on the promotion and planning of the single, which was agreed in advance.

The general plan has already been determined, but there are a few publicity resources that were not implemented until this morning, and a final confirmation is still needed.

"I'm sorry, Sister Li is communicating with the marketing department, wait a minute, and I'll be here soon." Ning Lan sat down with Li Kai and the two, and the little assistant made tea, and then took a seat beside her.

Ning Lan stared at Li Kai, and sighed a little: "According to the information collected by the marketing department, a total of 22 singers have released albums in these three days including new singles, nine of them yesterday, seven of them today, and now three of them are postponed." , There were originally six people tomorrow, and the two who are currently confirmed to be postponed, one of them may also be postponed, which means that there are six people missing, and this is all thanks to you."

Li Kai pretended to be confused: "What do you care about me?"

"The sales volume in the first week was nearly 24, and the new song recommendation week has not yet passed. The Billboard released yesterday directly airborne the eighth place on the main chart. This is a super-first-line patent. If there is no accident, today's Golden Song Chart will also be ranked on the gold chart. Now many people in the circle have predicted that your sales this week will set a record for single-week sales."

Ning Lan smiled wryly: "As soon as you, a big black horse from head to toe, came out, everyone didn't give way one after another. The singers who didn't delay the release of the film today and tomorrow are all pre-heated promotions, and the company doesn't have high expectations. Third line, or simply a newcomer."

Li opened his eyes and blinked: "Who said that, you are not a third-tier, let alone a rookie."

Ning Lan had just taken a sip of water, with half a mouthful in her mouth, she almost spit it out.

It's not your time to release my single. If you let me choose, I'd rather delay it by two weeks.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Li Xia hurried in with a folder in her left hand and a newspaper in her right. She raised her eyes to look at Li Kai, and said, "You're causing trouble now."

Li was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Li Xia came to him and handed over a newspaper: "You can read it yourself, the famous people in the circle have spoken out."

Ning Lan was slightly startled: "Who is it?"

"The person behind Su Yaqing."

"Luo Yusheng?"

Li Xia nodded solemnly: "He commented on the song "Suddenly Miss You". Although he didn't give a superficial evaluation like Cao Meng and others who were hoarse, he also gave a moderate evaluation, especially pointing out that the lyrics are not at all. The artistry is completely tricky, and finally I made a metaphor, the song is a high school student, and the words are junior high school students."

Ning Lan said indignantly: "It's not that his works have been subject to controversy. In the past, several seniors commented that they were too embellished to cater to the market, but instead destroyed the artistic atmosphere that should exist."

Li Xia smiled wryly: "So what, they are now recognized in the industry as a guarantee of sales, not to mention holding Su Yaqing popular with one hand, at least half of the hand."

Ning Lan snorted, "To put it this way, the sales of Li Kai's single in the first week are no worse than Su Yaqing's album. If Su Yaqing also releases a single, the sales may not even be as good as "Short Hair."

Li Xia knew what Ning Lan said, but it was useless. She sighed: "But he is a veritable big man, and Su Yaqing is a top-tier one. Once he speaks out, Su Yaqing will show up to speak out in all likelihood. Li Kai is still just a rookie after all, this is clearly an adult bullying a child."

Ning Lan understood the meaning, so she did not argue with a sullen face.

"Junior high school students should be junior high school students. Whatever he says, so what about big guys. He wasn't the one who bought my records." Li opened his eyes and threw the newspaper on the table casually.

Seeing Li Kai's indifferent look, Li Xia immediately said: "Don't take this matter too lightly, although Cao Meng and those people have weight in the circle, but if you directly slap your face with data, no matter how vicious their current backlash is. , that's also pale and weak, with a stern face, and in the eyes of many people in the circle, he is a clown with his scars exposed and exasperated."

"But Luo Yusheng is different. Excluding those who have retired or semi-retired, there are only a handful of big names in the circle. When they reach their level, they generally don't make a sound. Once they make a sound, many people will respond. Cao Meng Those people will also dance more happily, which may not affect the sales trend of your single, but it will be very bad for your reputation in the circle.”

Li Kai picked up the water glass and drank it slowly, with a calm expression on his face. Whether this is a hidden danger brought by the press conference, or whether the single's first week of sales attracted a lot of popularity, this is not something he can control. He can do it. What I got was just not against my heart.

At this moment, a line of lyrics popped up in Li Kai's mind: How can you see a rainbow if you don't experience wind and rain?
"Li Kai, since Luo Yusheng has spoken out, you must not rush into the ring with him." Li Xia struggled for a while, and expressed her biggest worry.

"I understand, I'm not qualified to challenge you."

Li Kai smiled, and then skipped the topic: "Okay, let's talk about business, have Ning Jie's publicity resources been implemented?"

Everyone looked at Li Xia, who was Ning Lan's manager, who was equivalent to the role of the big housekeeper.

"I fought for a long time, and finally the company approved 30 publicity expenses."

Li Xia opened the folder: "Music stations in 10 regions will broadcast once during the prime time, the music stations in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen will broadcast once in prime time, and the four local music stations will broadcast live programs. On the evening of October 5th, Magic Du Music Channel's exclusive interview column, on the evening of October 10th, Beijing TV Station will sing at the Moon and Autumn Festival Gala, that's all."

Li Kai nodded silently after hearing this, the sales of the last album hit the market, and for a second- and third-tier singer, the company approved at most 20 yuan for this single, including the recording cost, and the actual investment in publicity would not exceed 15 yuan. Ning Lan doubled it.

Zhuntianhou is Zhuntianhou after all.

The company still has expectations for Ning Lan. Of course, Qiao Li's support is indispensable.

"Li Kai, I always feel that the publicity plan is a bit extreme. The first five days are used as a warm-up publicity, and then 10% of the publicity resources are spent on October 5th, 6th, and 7th. If the sales in these three days are not enough Come on then"

Seeing Li Xia's worried face, Li was unmoved, and calmly said: "Yesterday, today, tomorrow, there are more than a dozen singers who released their albums within three days, including one king and two first-line singers. Focus everywhere instead of focusing on one point.”

"That's right, but."

"Sister Li, it's alright, we agreed that the publicity plan will be determined by Li Kai, so we will follow his plan."

When Ning Lan made a conclusion, Li Xia had no choice but to shut up, keeping her anxiety and worry in her heart.

As soon as Li Kai left, Ning Lan jumped ahead of Li Xia and said, "Luo Yusheng went to the battle in person, is it related to the release of my single?"

Li Xia choked, her face was a bit embarrassed, Ning Lan saw it, she had an answer in her heart, and sighed softly: "I have caused him trouble."

Her single is the work of Li Kai. With the popularity of Li Kai's single, the company has already released the news, which can be regarded as taking advantage of Li Kai's popularity.

Although Luo Yusheng has never said that he is Su Yaqing's exclusive songwriter, the fact is that he hasn't written a song for other singers for more than two years, and he never mixes right and wrong in the circle, but at this time he does not hesitate to lose his reputation , appearing to step on Li Kai's single, Ning Lan could easily think of the festival between her and Su Yaqing
"Back then, Su Yaqing caused a scandal because she was indiscreet. You just didn't stand up for her, and you didn't add insult to injury."

Li Xia gritted her teeth angrily, and Ning Lan waved her hand: "Don't talk about it, anyway, I got him into trouble. If it really gets worse, I will come forward when necessary."

Li Xia was startled: "Ning Lan, you must not"

Ning Lan interrupted again: "I understand that when I retired at the peak of my career, many people's direct and indirect interests were damaged. If I stepped forward in troubled waters, those people might take the opportunity to attack me, and the company might not support me , after all, I'm already out of breath."

Ning Lan smiled, her smile was a bit bitter, but also a bit free and easy: "I didn't say to come forward now, when it is necessary, I have a sense of proportion."

Li Xia hesitated to speak, looked at Ning Lan's firm eyes, and finally became dumb.

As Li Xia said, as soon as Luo Yusheng uttered his voice, he was immediately echoed by many songwriters, who emerged from the water one by one.

Afterwards, Su Yaqing also accepted media interviews, criticizing Li Kai for being frivolous and conceited as a queen, without the humility and awe that a newcomer should have.

Tianhou's attitude brightened. Those singers who were not interested in Li Kai, but because of the success of Li Kai's single, were afraid of being accused of not being able to eat grapes and saying that the grapes were sour, no longer had scruples, and they all came forward to criticize Li Kai's character .

Among them, Cang Ping was the most hated, calling Li Kai a villain.

Seeing that Li Kai was about to be pushed to the cusp again, but this time, the wind was stronger and the waves higher. At this moment, an unexpected Cheng Yaojin rushed out and directly took over half of the attacking artillery fire for Li Kai. .

This Cheng Yaojin is Lu Bin.

Manager Liu Li came forward on behalf of Lu Bin. In front of the reporters, this woman swept the crowd with a sharp tongue, scolded Cao Meng and the others for being shameless, and scolded those singers for having pink eye disease. However, she did not shoot randomly. Other songwriters, divas, and a first-line singer.

After the shooting was over, the guns were pointed at Cangping at the end. Cangping ranked second-tier top stream, relying on a quasi-double platinum with a sales volume of more than 170 million copies. The rest of the albums did not break platinum. Zhang has only 30 sales, and he is a singer with a lot of ups and downs.

Liu Li seized this point, revealed the data of his three albums that were not satisfied with gold, and then completely denied all the songs in these three albums, and gave unsavory comments.

This is much more ruthless than the impetuous big hat!
Songs are the foundation of a singer in the music circle, and a singer's job.

Liu Li is going to cut off Cang Ping from the root, and directly destroy his job!
General Manager's Office.

When Mr. Ren heard the news from his assistant, he was stunned for a full minute because of his knowledge and experience, then he slapped the table heavily and said a classic Chinese curse: "Damn, you can't do it yourself!" live!"

Deputy Director's Office.

Qiao Li answered a phone call and heard the news from a friend in the circle. After hanging up, she stayed there for a minute, then slapped her forehead, and sighed, "It's really what Li Kai said was right, NO ZUO NO DIE."

Ning Lan, who had already returned to her residence, was watching TV in the living room. Li Xia, who finished talking on the phone in the room, walked out quickly and told her the news.

The two looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, their faces were full of absurdity and disbelief.

After a while, Ning Lan bit her head lightly, and murmured: "Could it be that this is all about committing suicide, and the gods can't save it?"

Li Kai returned to the dormitory late, Tan Guangyue came to his room specially and told him the news.

Li Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know how to describe it. Finally, he gave a thumbs up and gave a four-character comment of "courage is commendable".
