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

Chapter 221 The establishment of the studio

"It's been decided long ago. You insisted on posting the film in advance for the May [-]st Golden Week promotion. Now it's over. A dozen first- and second-tier tiers are mixed together. This is pushing me into the quagmire."

"Can I be blamed for this? Who knew Shuteng Records would go crazy. The three singers gave up the pre-heating promotion and insisted on squeezing in together. Originally, there were seven or eight first- and second-tier singers, but at most they were saturated."

"I've said it a long time ago, it's a big taboo to change one's mind before the battle"

"To shut up!"

Chen Qian said coldly: "Are you still a man? Where has your spirit gone? Can you be a little bit promising?"

"Isn't it just a dozen first- and second-tier, Xu Qiaoling, Tan Guangyue, He Jingyun, when the film was released last December, which one was not five or six first- and second-tier in the same period, plus one fifteen or sixteen, they still stand out."

"The main feature of your album this time is the work of a big name in the industry. It is not inferior to Li Kai's work. If you are not as good as the three newcomers, then go buy a piece of tofu and knock you down!"

At the end of the sentence, he sternly shouted, leaving Chen Guang with an ugly expression on his face, and walked away with his hands.

Out of the lounge, Chen Qian let out a long breath of stuffiness in her chest, her face was cold, and she had a big fight with Chen Guang. To put it bluntly, it was because this album was too important to Chen Guang, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it decided his fate!

The release of the film was postponed until Thursday morning, just to see how many first- and second-line film releases this week, including Chen Guang, a total of eight, which is already close to the upper limit of their psychological tolerance.

Suddenly adding three more, the mentality collapsed directly!
"Damn!"

Chen Qian said that there were only a dozen or so first- and second-tier, and she kept the distance between Xu Qiaoling and the three of them.

The record market is flexible, but no matter how it lasts, there is always a limit. It is normal for a bunch of singers to get together and a general decline in sales.

In her opinion, Shuteng Records is a pure spoiler, to put it bluntly, it is pulling everyone to die together!

When you are in a bad mood, your steps will become faster. When passing by the office area, Chen Qian turned her face and her eyes suddenly focused!
Tomorrow is May Day, most of the singers went to commercial performances, many company employees left early, the office area was so empty that Li Kai, whose desk was in the depths, directly entered her eyes!
She took a breath, turned into the office area, and walked straight over.

"Li Kai, didn't you keep saying that Chen Guang would be overwhelmed?"

Chen Qian's tone was a bit weird. Normally, she is not a provocative character, but now, she needs to vent. At the regular meeting of the department, Li Kai tore her face on the spot. Later, when the department had a dinner, she offered to toast and wanted to mend it, but Li If you save face, you are the enemy anyway, so there is nothing to worry about!

Li Kai, who was reading the newspaper, looked up at her and nodded bluntly: "That's right."

Chen Qian sneered and said, "Chenguang posted a video this morning, why didn't you see you in action, the majestic rookie king, it turns out that he is just a paper tiger who keeps screaming fiercely."

After all, he slapped his head, and said in detail: "Oh, I forgot, your work was blocked and hidden by the company, even a tiger whose claws and teeth have been pulled out can only be bluffed twice. people."

Li Jian looked at her smug look, and said lightly: "Chen Qian, I think you are very pitiful."

Chen Qian couldn't help being taken aback, and then she heard Li Kai continue: "Chenguang releases a film today, and there are more than a dozen first- and second-tier singers in the same period. I estimate that his album sales are at least [-]% lower than expected."

Chen Qian gritted her teeth, and said firmly, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. Chen Guang's album focuses on the works of big names in the industry. The more singers there are in the same period, the more intense the competition, and the bigger the sales."

Li opened his eyes and said, "Which big guy's work is it?"

"Teacher Ge."

"Teacher Ge, Ge Guangyao?"

"That's right, Mr. Fu, President Gao, and President Qiao all commented that it is a masterpiece!"

Seeing the confident expression on Chen Qian's face, Li Kai thought for a while, and said in a calm voice: "If I remember correctly, Shu Zhen, who released the film in March, seems to have sold a little over 30 copies in a single month. "

"Shu Zhen is a top-notch person. Compared with Shu Zhen, Chen Guang's popularity is much different?"

"The first and second titles of Shu Zhen's album are both Ge Guangyao's works, and Chen Guang's album is only the first title. I don't know how much difference there is?"

"Shu Zhen's publicity expenses have been upgraded to exceed the first-line standard, more than one million yuan, and Chenguang should not exceed 60 yuan. I don't know how much difference there is?"

Every time Li Kai asked, Chen Qian's face turned green, and after three questions, Chen Qian's face turned ashen.

"If the sales volume of Chen Guang's album is not even as good as that of the last album, whether it is the quotation from the performer or the company's internal positioning, it will be lowered to the third line. The third line is not qualified to have a separate manager."

Li Kai spoke slowly, paused, and pointed at Chen Qian: "At that time, what you will face is unemployment. I advise you to prepare for the worst while dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream."

At the end of the sentence, he threw the newspaper on the table, got up and walked away.

Chen Qian's face turned blue and then pale. Looking back at Li Kai's back, her silver teeth made a "clack" sound.

Monday, October 5.

Last week's sales table came out on time without any doubt.

The top six are unchanged.

First, Su Yaqing, 1923649.

Second, He Jingyun, 130123.

Third, Ning Lan, 114192.

Fourth, the red whirlwind, 105643.

Fifth, Murphy, 95142.

Sixth, cool strikes, 93673.

Diva Su Yaqing's album reached its peak in the third week of its release, only a little short of the 20 mark.

In 49 days, the total sales volume was more than [-] copies, which is only one line away from gold.

As Luo Yusheng said, such a result is above the normal level of the first line, but it is not outstanding.

The red whirlwind, cool and striking, did not bring any bigger surprises, but it was very stable!

For the dozen or so first- and second-tier singers released last week, sales were all within the range of 3 to 5, which was generally 5 to [-]% lower than expected.

This is the normal phenomenon of collective posting after oversaturation.

Of course, when the PK of new songs recommended on the two charts next week, the gap between them will widen.

This day is still an auspicious day.

Li Kai's studio officially opened!
The name of the studio is: Huacan Music Studio.

Li Kai accepted Ni Houdao's suggestion, and most of the company's full-time jobs were vacated.

Su Ting is the executive deputy general manager, and Ni Houdao is the executive deputy director. There is currently no suitable candidate for the head of the finance department.

Xiaopang is the manager of the security department, and Shen Guanchang is the deputy manager of the business department.

And these five people hold dry stocks on average, Su Ting has 4 points, Ni Houdao has 3 points, Xue Bing has 3 points, Xiao Pang has 0.5 points, and Shen Guanchang has 1 point.

Of course, this is just a stock incentive given according to their current positions. In the future, the studio will be upgraded to a record company and become a joint-stock system. At that time, Li Kai will redistribute the shares.

In addition, according to Li Kai's request, Su Ting and Ni Houdao had an interview with the former record company staff, and finally ten people were retained.

Among these ten people, one was Su Ting's assistant, five were assigned to the music department, one was assigned to the finance department, one was assigned to the business department, and one was assigned to the security department.

As for the singers, Li Kai selected six singers three times successively. One female singer voluntarily gave up after half a week of special training. Among the remaining five singers, two boy groups and Ade have already signed contracts with the studio. .

The three-girl group, as well as two singers, one male and one female, will not have their full January training until next week.

In addition, Feng Zhihao, a third-tier singer from the original record company, agreed to bear the transfer fee of 30 yuan and signed a contract with the studio.

The opening ceremony was very simple, a few firecrackers were set off, and Su Ting gave a speech in public.

Afterwards, everyone gathered together in the conference room, and Su Ting presided over the meeting to let everyone get to know each other, and the introduction to Li Kai was the studio's contract songwriter.

They had a simple dinner at noon, and after the meal, they went to work, and Li Kai first called Ade into a lounge.

The two met once before, but they just chatted briefly. This time, Li Kai patiently communicated with Ade for an hour.

I learned that Ade grew up in a single-parent family. His father was an ordinary worker. His childhood hobbies were singing and guitar. When he was 19 years old, he dropped out of school to work part-time.

At the age of 23, Ade participated in an amateur singing competition on Hong Kong Island, entered the finals unexpectedly, won No.4, and signed a contract with a small record company on Hong Kong Island.

His first single barely reached the company's internal pass line. It is said that an album should be released next. However, the record company's funds are limited, and the album project has not been approved for a long time.

And this period of time was almost a year, and it was from this time that he started his career as a resident singer in bars and restaurants. In addition, he would also help other singers record some song demos.

Later, the record company closed down, and he became an underground singer, working part-time during the day and singing in bars at night. When he was 28 years old, he met his ex-wife.

The two married after three months of dating, and rented a cheap house as a wedding room. A year later, they had a daughter, and three months later, the couple divorced.

The reason for this, Ade only said one sentence, feelings are not worth life, Li Kai understood the meaning, and did not ask further.

Afterwards, Ade took his daughter alone. Six years later, his father passed away, and his daughter was about to go to school. The living standard on Hong Kong Island was relatively high. Ade thought twice and decided to come to the mainland.

Today, his daughter is 9 years old and in the third grade of primary school. The father and daughter rent a Shikumen house, which is not far from the company, and it takes 10 minutes by car to get there.

"Everything will be fine, for your daughter, stay strong."

Eight out of ten underground singers have a difficult past. Li Kai didn't comment on it, nor did he express much emotion. He just clenched his fist and made an encouraging gesture.

Ade's expression is sincere: "Mr. Li, to be honest, I have never given up on my music dream, but at this age, I know in my heart that the chance is very slim. I am very grateful to you and Mr. Su for giving me this opportunity." , just one sentence, I will definitely put 120% of my heart into it, and take good care of it!"

Li Kai hummed: "I believe in you, and you also have to believe in my vision."

Ed nodded heavily.

Li Kai didn't talk nonsense, and took out a pre-written score from his pocket and handed it over: "According to the rules in the industry, the first album of a new signing is a single, and the stars are no exception. This is the song I wrote for you." , the name is "If the Wine Dried If You Sell Nothing."
