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

Chapter 575 Transformation, after the public announcement

The corners of Feng Ling's eyes twitched, and she caught Shu Zhen's determined expression out of the corner of her eye, and sighed inwardly.

Li Kai spent a few minutes on the phone, but there was no result of discussion. She held a conservative view, Lu Lu was inclined to give it a try, and she was a little worried. Shu Zhen didn't express her opinion.

Right now, Shu Zhen has made a final decision.

That being the case, as a manager, she definitely can't tear down Shu Zhen, she can only fully support her.

A trace of surprise flashed in Lulu's eyes, a little excited and a little worried, and the little girl jumped a few beats for no reason.

Li Kai met Shu Zhen's gaze, and said calmly, "Have you considered it clearly?"

Seeing Shu Zhen nodding, Li Kai also nodded, said hello, and didn't say anything more.

After making a circle in the park, the four of them returned to the company and entered the recording studio.

Li Kai took out the scores of the three songs prepared in advance, sang them himself as a demo, and explained the main points of them. After more than an hour, he left the company. Ni Houdao was in charge of the specific recording arrangements. of.

As for the duet that is the theme of the film, he hasn't thought about it yet, and will record it at another time.

After leaving the park, Li Kai stopped a taxi and drove to Ye Yimeng Bar.

I haven't been here for half a year, the bar has changed, it has been renovated, the area has been expanded a lot, and a special VIP area has been set aside. There are four booths in the area, each of which is larger than ordinary booths. times, and separated by a partition, a little more privacy.

Booth No. 3 is in the VIP area. It was almost 9 o'clock when Li Kai arrived. Xu Qianqiu, Feng Mo, and Ning Lan were all there. There was already an empty bottle of foreign wine on the coffee table, and it was obvious that he had already drunk it.

Xu Qianqiu joked: "You have a big card now, it's really not easy to ask you to meet."

Ning Lan gracefully crossed one leg, sipped red wine, and said with a smile: "The current appearance fee starts at 30 yuan, and your call fee is only [-] cents. It's not easy for him to come anyway, it's considered enough face for you. "

Li Kai smiled sarcastically: "You two, stop singing about me, I will punish myself if I am late!"

As he spoke, he reached for the wine bottle, but was grabbed by Feng Mo.

Feng Mo poured the empty cups on the table one by one, and said: "It was agreed at 08:30, we arrived half an hour early, and you were half an hour late, you can figure it out."

What else can I do?
drink.

Li Kai grabbed the wine glass, raised his head and drank it dry, then picked up the second glass, and drank it dry in another gulp. When taking the third glass, Feng Mo handed the remaining three glasses, one to Xu Qianqiu, and the other to Xu Qianqiu. I gave it to Ning Lan, picked up a cup myself, and said, "Come on, drink one together, congratulations on your success in becoming king."

The four wine glasses collided, and the four of them raised their necks and drank upside down.

Xu Qianqiu grabbed a handful of peanuts, threw a few into his mouth, and said casually: "The trend of the pop music world is changing fast, but I didn't expect it to change so fast. The first time Xiao Han singer appeared on the screen was New Year's Eve Evening party, it’s only been a few months, and the little Hallyu has become popular, much like the lyrical slow songs at the beginning, forming an absolute mainstream trend. I heard some time ago that there are no fewer than five record companies that have cooperated with Xiaohan, the island country If it weren't for the amazing sales of your album this time, which directly suppressed An Guilong, the domestic music scene might really have to change their surname."

Li opened his eyes and smiled: "Little Hallyu relies on a more mature star-making system than domestic ones, but this does not mean that domestic singers' own conditions are worse than Xiaohan's singers, and domestic songwriters are more creative than Xiaohan songwriters." Poor, just learn from each other's strengths, plus the advantages of language, the domestic music scene will always be dominated by Chinese singers."

Xu Qianqiu nodded, then shook his head again: "In the long run, it is indeed the case, but the premise is to withstand the impact of the Korean wave, if it is completely overwhelmed, and the Korean music culture is implanted in the country, then..."

Shaking his head again, he looked at Li Kai: "One singer from each of Huacan's six record companies will release their videos one by one. Is this a counterattack against the Korean wave?"

Li Kai shrugged: "There are dozens of singers under the group, and they have released a few records this year. If they don't release any more, the Northwest Wind will soon come."

Xu Qianqiu was amused.

Feng Mo raised his glass and signaled: "This time, a quota for Time Records has been given to Cool Hyun, thank you."

Li Kai was a little dazed: "Why are you thanking me?"

Feng Mo slowly drank the wine in his glass, and then said: "At the beginning of April, Mr. Qiao called me and said that each record company under the group specially approved a quota. The main focus is your operation, and the album fee is double standard. Let me recommend you to release a film in June to fight against the Korean wave, she didn’t say it explicitly, but I know it in my heart, she knows that I have a good relationship with you, it’s for your sake.”

Li opened his eyes suddenly, and waved his hand indifferently: "Coolness is the first line. With this qualification, it's not right to take care of related households under similar conditions."

Xu Qianqiu suddenly said: "Huacan Group has 6 record companies, plus [-] or [-] singers, do you think it's too bloated?"

After Li opened his eyes, Xu Qianqiu gave an analysis slowly: "Even the leader of the five giants, Nisuo Records, the number of singers is controlled below [-]. First, the company's resources are limited, and the more singers, the more scattered it will be. Come on, there are only a few songwriters at the top, and the works are not unlimited, so if there are more singers, the quality of the record cannot be guaranteed.”

After a pause, he returned to Huacan: "The number of quotas for the four nights that Huacan Group can get, and the number of film and television song accompaniments, cannot exceed the top five giants, and apart from you, there is no big name among the songwriters who cooperate. , There are only a few Chinese cafes, I think the quality of the albums of most singers cannot be guaranteed, too many monks and too few porridge, it is a burden to the company, and internal problems will also arise due to excessive competition.”

Li opened his eyes and became cautious: "I have considered this issue, and there are only two options. The first is expansion, and the second is layoffs. I prefer the former to account for [-]% and the latter to account for [-]%."

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment, and said again: "I happen to have an idea here, and I want to hear your opinions."

Hearing what he said, Ning Lan and Feng Mo also looked over, and heard Li Kai say: "The next focus of Huacan's development is abroad. Originally, it was set for the Asian music scene. Now I want to take a bigger step. Go to the international music scene."

The three of Xu Qianqiu looked at each other, and they all saw a touch of astonishment in each other's eyes.

In the Asian music scene, the first echelon is composed of singers from island countries and Korean singers, and the second echelon is composed of Chinese singers. In the international music scene, European and American singers dominate, and Asian singers are in the second echelon. Singers are not ranked.

Li Kai actually set his sights on the international music scene. If he took such a big step, isn't he afraid of getting messed up?

"Li Zhe, in the Asian music scene, release films in more than 8 countries, even if it is a single, the total cost starts at 500 million; for albums, at least 800 million; for the international music scene, at least two regions, and more than 18 countries. , double the cost."

The corners of Xu Qianqiu's eyes twitched slightly: "There is a big gap in the sales of records in the international music scene. If there are more than one diamond, there are also ten platinum records. There are forty if not fifty. However, the sales of records lower than platinum are probably hundreds of copies. , be careful."

These words are really not alarmist. Looking at the five domestic giants, it is just that the first-line top players are trying to release films in the Asian music scene, and they are all singles.

The cost of distributing films abroad is really much higher than domestic ones. Just look at the cooperation between ikuqi and Gunxue. When the promotional expenses are shared equally, ikuqi provides singers and is responsible for the production of the album. Film channels, as well as media resources, the income in China is divided [-]-[-].

So far, no record company in China has really entered the international music scene. In the past, the so-called release of films in the international music scene was based on domestic sales. issued.

To put it bluntly, just like studying abroad, plating a layer of gold on the company's facade singers is not for the purpose of making money.

Li Kai looked calm: "Brother Xu, I went to the United States this time and wrote two songs for two singers under Universal Star Entertainment. Xicheng Boy's single was released for four weeks, and now it has climbed to No. 4 on the Top [-]."

Then, he talked about how his singing at the Oktoberfest attracted several singers to ask him to sing.

The three of Xu Qianqiu couldn't believe it, they were stunned for a while, and then Feng Mo nodded and said: "So that's the case, I just thought, no matter how famous you are in China, the record company in the United States will not ask you to do it for you." The singers under the banner write songs, because they don’t even look down on sub-regional songwriters from non-island countries, so you are directly on the dry stuff.”

Xu Qianqiu squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, and said: "Since that's the case, it's not impossible for you to try it, but I suggest to promote a singer first, or a single, and first hit the charts to see the effect."

Li Jian hummed, and turned his eyes to Ning Lan. From his eyes, Ning Lan understood the meaning, pointed to her nose and said, "You want me to take the lead?"

Li Kai nodded, and said with certainty: "Sister Ning, no one is more suitable than you."

Ning Lanfang's heart was beating wildly, she was surprised and delighted, excited and apprehensive. She had already reached the top of the domestic music scene, and she was naturally eager to be on a wider stage. This is like the top domestic athletes, who would not want to be on the Asian Games arena , or even a higher Olympic stadium?

But when she crossed the Asian music scene and went directly to the international music scene, she was a little worried about her lack of confidence.

However, considering that she is Huacan's shareholder and the most popular singer besides Li Kai, it seems that she is indeed one of the most suitable candidates. In addition, Li Kai is a general, which shows that she trusts her, and her eyes gradually become firmer. Cherish words like gold and spit out a good word.

Afterwards, Xu Qianqiu and Feng Mo gave Li Kai a lot of suggestions based on what they knew. The most valuable one was the distribution channel resources. No record company in China owns them. They needed to borrow from Daoguo or Xiaohan. For a certain entertainment company, cooperation is imperative, and if possible, an acquisition may even be considered.

On Wednesday, Shu Zhen completed the recording of three title songs.

On Thursday, Li Kai went to Huacan Records after lunch, and spent six or seven hours completing a duet with Shu Zhen. So far, the recording of Shu Zhen's new album has been completed.

On Friday, Huacan Records announced that Shu Zhen's new album will be released next Friday, Children's Day, and the promotion will begin today.

That night, Shu Zhen appeared on the live interview program of Shenzhen TV Station.

When introducing the new album, Shu Zhen said: "This is the first album released after I transferred to Huacan Records. For me personally, this is a transformational work. There are many songs in the album, written by the great songwriter Li Tailor-made for her, the melody has a distinct level, adding multiple voice transitions, and applying the transformation of true and false voices, bringing a refreshing audio-visual feeling.

When asked about her expectations for the new album, Shu Zhen said frankly that she has always wanted to seek a self-breakthrough in music, and she is full of confidence in this transformational work. With this album, she will reach the top line and appeal to her fans for support.

After the album was released, it was officially announced and sealed. This is the only two times in the history of the domestic music scene.

Then, at the end of the show, she got up and walked to center stage to sing the album's third title live.

"The grains of sand in the Dunhuang sky carry our memories. I looked back halfway, and the Qin Pass is so winding."

"Crescent Bay", one of the masterpieces of the former Earth Feier band, won the "Hong Kong and Taiwan Annual Golden Melody Award" on the MusicRadio China TOP chart.

The artistic conception of the lyrics is based on the crescent moon spring in Dunhuang, a world landscape that is about to disappear. Due to the excessive exploitation and use of groundwater resources in the local area, this wonderland is drying up day by day and is about to disappear.

Using the landscape of the earth that is about to disappear as a metaphor for the love that is about to disappear, I hope everyone will bravely pursue true love and strive to preserve the good memories in their hearts.

". Whose heart is left alone? Is he okay? I want to love him so much. Those eternal tears, solidified that sentence, may evaporate. Whose love is stronger than tears, calling softly , let me melt, every drop of rain, evolve into my wings"

The song is a fusion of classical and modern, with a strong oriental flavor of the Chinese version of the rhythm love song. Shu Zhen's voice is soft and moving, especially the chorus part, which is interpreted in the form of singing, with nine turns and eighteen turns, accompanied by true and false The smooth conversion of the sound, the delicate emotional expression is carefully unfolded, like a beautiful picture scroll slowly unfolding, and the stacked chorus of Sanskrit sounds adds to the song's reverie and mysterious style.

From the moment he opened his mouth to sing, the audience in the audience was quickly caught by their ears. As the song deepened, they felt like a pair of gentle, plain hands passing by one after another, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, sometimes slow and sometimes anxious , that kind of audition effect is provocative and intoxicating.

As the singing gradually faded away, the audience all had an expression of deep intoxication. They felt that the pores of their bodies were open, and their whole body was lightened.

After a while, the applause sounded warm and long, and the host who retreated to the side of the stage also applauded approvingly, then walked to Shu Zhen's side, and expressed his sincerity to the song and Shu Zhen's singing without hesitation. praise.

After the show was broadcast, Shu Zhen released a transformational album and announced the news after the announcement, as if she had grown wings, it spread in the circle that night, causing a sensation!
