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

Chapter 594
He Jingyun stroked a few strands of hair that jumped out from behind her ears, and said: "Mr. Hua just talked about a few difficulties of the company, and finally mentioned that the contract is to release two albums in the Asian music world. Upgrading to the international music scene, other singers under the company will inevitably have ideas."

Hu Jia flattened his mouth: "He was acting. He knew that someone was coming, so he called Zhao Chuanxiong for a training session, and then asked you to be polite on the surface, but his attitude was not vague at all, and then called Liu Huiying. Teach me a lesson, use both soft and hard methods, and use your mouth to tell someone, so that someone will retreat in the face of difficulties."

After all, I gouged out Li Kai's eyes, and it was self-evident who someone was referring to.

Li Kai understood a little bit, but not everything, and blinked: "Call Brother Zhao and Sister Liu to scold them. They openly support Jingyun's international music scene to release videos?"

Hujia rolled his eyes: "This kind of thing is not something they can decide. They proposed to the company that they want to transform, but the company did not refuse, but temporarily suppressed it due to the shortage of funds in the book. They and their agent, The assistants complained in the company from time to time, and the superiors didn’t respond before, but today they were suddenly called in to lecture them, saying that the company had never treated them badly, but they didn’t understand the company’s difficulties at all, and they didn’t see the big picture. Look."

Li opened his eyes suddenly, his face turned dark, who is the monkey?

Fang Qiong's face was slightly bitter, but she didn't express her opinion. She had already persuaded him tactfully before, and it was up to Li Kai to decide how to make a decision.

Based on her understanding of Li Kai, this man is not a character who will retire when he dies.

He Jingyun changed the topic and chatted for a while while eating fruit. She raised her wrist to look at the couple watch she bought with Li Kai before the engagement, and said, "Get off work at five o'clock, and it's almost four o'clock. Don't you go talk to Mr. Hua?" call?"

This time Li Kai came here to finalize He Jingyun's album. In advance, Su Ting, on behalf of Hua Can, notified Huage as a partner. In He Jingyun's mind, since Li Kai has arrived, even if he plans to talk about business tomorrow, he should Let's meet Mr. Hua first.

Originally, Li Kai thought so too, but he changed his mind when he heard about Mr. Hua training the chicken to show the monkey. He shook his hand and said, "Forget it today. I'll see you when I come here to discuss things officially. I met Liu Huiying just now." , I agreed that I will invite you to dinner, and I will go to the next one."

He Jingyun was quiet for a moment, then nodded her head.

"Dong Dong!" There was a knock on the door, and Fang Qiong went to open the door. The man who came was a tall and handsome man, none other than the king of heaven, Zhao Chuanxiong.

Zhao Chuanxiong came to Li Kai, exchanged some pleasantries, and invited him to dinner on the grounds of congratulating Li Kai and He Jingyun on their wedding.

Li Kai didn't refuse, and said that he had made an appointment for dinner with Liu Huiying, and suggested that he should treat them together.

Zhao Chuanxiong agreed without any objection.

Before five o'clock, a Baolu, a Qiuka, and a Biezhi drove out of the park next to each other.

At Liu Huiying's suggestion, I went to a boutique hot pot restaurant for dinner, one small pot for each person, and the ingredients included not only the regular ones, but also seafood, which is very fashionable nowadays.

"Young Master, there is something I want you to give me some advice on. Ever since I switched from Cantonese songs to Mandarin songs, my actual popularity and the title of Heavenly King have been a bit untrue. With the dominance of the lyrical and slow songs, I have been Breaking through, the popularity has gone downhill, I have long thought about changing, but I have been hesitant, this time I have made up my mind, what style do you think is more suitable for me?"

Zhao Chuanxiong is a northerner with a straightforward temper, and the self-deprecating title of Heavenly King is not worthy of the name, and he is not twitchy at all.

Li opened his eyes and blinked: "Brother Zhao, you only barely sold one album. Is it necessary to make a transition in such a hurry?"

Counting from Li Kai's debut, Zhao Chuanxiong has released three albums. The first full moon defaults to double platinum, the second full moon defaults to double platinum, and the third full moon defaults to quasi-platinum.

Objectively speaking, the sales volume has indeed gone downhill, which also means that the popularity has gone downhill, but the first two albums are still above the standard, and the third album was released at the end of February this year. It is the same week as Treasure Girl, and it overlaps B5, Li Zhihui, Liu Mingliang's piracy protection period, part of which is not a war crime.

Zhao Chuanxiong said sternly: "To tell you the truth, since the second half of last year, I have clearly felt that my popularity is not as good as before. Not only me, but many singers of my generation in the circle have this feeling, as if suddenly In the meantime, we have become a past tense, out of touch with the trend."

"In the first half of this year, I, Huiying, Zhao Yongkang, and Wang Yanfen released films one after another, and the sales were much lower than expected. This is the best proof."

"Now I'm still a bit popular. If I wait for the next record with a fluke mentality, maybe the results will be ugly. At that time, I'm really out of date, and it's too late to make a transition. For the company, veteran singers and When the actual popularity gap of the new generation of singers is not big, the resources must be biased towards the latter.”

Liu Huiying nodded with deep satisfaction: "That's right, the current quotation from the show business is still much higher than that of the new generation of singers. For the national endorsement candidates, the new generation of singers is not yet eligible to be shortlisted."

After a pause, she looked at He Jingyun: "The new generation of singers I'm talking about doesn't include Jingyun, she is now a queen, and her status in the company is supernatural."

An explanation, and then back to the topic: "Now that we want to transform, the company will still pay attention to it. When our popularity goes down one notch, and the new generation of singers raises one notch, then if we want to transfer again, the company will agree. Not many resources will be invested."

The implication is that she and Zhao Chuanxiong are still the company's cash cows. They have the capital to make demands on the company.

Her manager frowned, thinking that this was too blunt. In the music circle, there were many cases where misfortunes came out of their mouths.

But after thinking about it, Li Kai is now much taller than Liu Huiying. The age gap is there, and the gap in the future will only get bigger and bigger. The destined lower-ranking people don’t have to be too scruples when facing the higher-ranking ones. On the contrary, it seems insincere to be twisted and twisted.

So, it is the default.

Li smiled wryly, well, everyone really needs to transform, this kind of thing is like rebirth from Nirvana, how can it be so easy?
Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Chuanxiong, Liu Huiying, and their managers, assistants, and six pairs of eyes, Li rubbed his eyebrows, slowly chewed half a prawn in his mouth, and after swallowing, he said: "Brother Zhao, you have already debuted!" Ten years, Sister Liu, you have debuted for eight years. The two of you have combined more than 20 records. Your singing style has been deeply engraved in the memory of fans. To be honest, the transformation is very likely to be different. It will achieve the effect you want, Shu Zhen is just a special case, not universal."

Zhao Chuanxiong and Liu Huiying couldn't help showing disappointment. They were anxious to ask Li Kai to have dinner, and the focus was on the matter of transformation. Li Kai's negative answer was too perfunctory
However, Li opened his eyes for a moment, and then continued, which made their eyes shine.

"I personally suggest that instead of a thankless transformation, it is better to propose to the company to enter the Asian music scene, or even the international music scene. For the domestic music scene, you are old singers, but for the foreign music scene, you are new singers. In a sense To put it in perspective, it’s a kind of transformation, taking a step back, even if the results are not ideal, it will not affect your popularity in China, and you don’t have to bear the risk of losing your loyal fans after the transformation fails.”

Fighting for a chance to try without worrying about losing popularity too much, Liu Huiying was a little moved, but she couldn't help but worry: "I don't expect the international music scene, and the Asian music scene, I have released two singles before, both of which are not good. Wen Buhuo, double-platinum sales, said to be second-tier, but not very popular, really want to make a breakthrough, must release an album, can release an album, the cost is tens of millions"

Zhao Chuanxiong sighed and shook his head, and continued: "It's difficult, this afternoon, I was called to the office by Mr. Hua, just because the company's funds were tight, and told me not to be impatient, and the transformation will take a while."

Liu Huiying grunted: "Me too, Mr. Hua also talked to me."

Li Kai didn't take it seriously, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Don't be too pessimistic, some things depend on the general trend, if singers under other record companies release albums in the Asian music scene, and even release films in the international music scene, I think Hua Ge will be one of the top five singers. One of the giants will definitely not fall behind."

Zhao Chuanxiong and Liu Huiying looked over at the same time, their slightly bright eyes clearly said: Are you sure?
Li opened his hands and smiled: "I'm just giving advice, that's all I'm saying."

After dinner, it was still early, so we went to a nearby leisure bar together.

Those who do SPA do SPA, those who play golf play ball, and those who drink tea and chat drink tea and chat.

After nine o'clock, the four of Li Kai left first, Fang Qiong went to live at Hujia, and Li Kai and He Jingyun stayed at the hotel.

Hotel, guest room.

After taking a shower, Li Kai and He Jingyun each put on their nightgowns, cuddled up and stood on the balcony, enjoying the night breeze, overlooking the night scene, enjoying the time when they were alone.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Jiang City. The sportswear I'm endorsing has an event. It's Friday and Saturday. When are you going to talk to Mr. Hua and wait until I come back on Sunday?"

He Jingyun gently flicked off a bit of dust on Li Kai's clothes with her fingers.

Li was speechless: "Depending on the situation, you have already expressed your wishes to the company, and the next step is Huage and Huacan, the business negotiations between the company and the company. As a singer under Huage, it is not suitable for you to participate. Just wait for the final result."

He Jingyun said softly: "I don't think it's too forced, after all, it's a bit big to go directly to the international music scene."

Li looked at her and said with a smile, "Why, you don't have confidence in yourself?"

He Jingyun shook her head slightly: "It's not that I don't have confidence, but that I don't want to be too reluctant. President Hua came to me this afternoon. Since he talked about the contract, his attitude has been very clear."

Li Kai shook his head slowly: "Time doesn't wait for me."

Time does not wait. His explanation to the senior management of Huacan Group was that Su Ting asked privately about the age of the singers under his banner.

In fact, there is the most important point, that is, the record market goes from boom to bust!
In the previous life of Earth, the peak of the global record market appeared around the new millennium. At that time, the average person in the United States bought more than 3 records per year, and then began to decline. In just a few years, diamond sales became extinct. , until 16, there was another one.
And this parallel world that is quite similar to the earth, the domestic Internet will be in its infancy right now, and this time he went to the United States, Li Kai did some understanding of the Omi record market, and roughly judged that the peak of the global record market should be higher than that of his previous life. The earth is slightly later, but it is very limited, maybe half a year, maybe a year.

Therefore, it is imminent to enter the international music scene. If it is delayed for a period of two years, it is likely to enter a landslide. The difficulty of reaching the standard singer level will increase, and the economic point of view will also suffer a lot.

He Jingyun frowned slightly, Li Kai looked into her eyes, knew what she was worried about, and gently smoothed the thin forehead lines on her smooth forehead with the palm of her hand, and said in a calm voice: "Don't worry, I won't fight an uncertain battle , this time, I will take advantage of the situation."

"Take advantage?"

"Well, didn't I already say that during the meal, the trend of the times, Huage, as one of the five giants, will never be willing to be left behind."

Li Kai's tone was determined, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was meaningful.

The next day, Li Kai and He Jingyun slept until after nine o'clock before getting up.

They didn't have a honeymoon after the engagement banquet, so they made up for it last night, and they didn't fall asleep hugging each other until two o'clock in the morning.

After washing up, the two went to the restaurant to have breakfast, and took a walk in the garden of the hotel after the meal. At 10:30, Fang Qiong drove over and picked He Jingyun away.

Li Kai took a taxi and headed to Sunset Records.

I am ashamed to say that it has been more than half a year since Huacan invested in Sunset Records, and this is the first time Li Kai has come to express condolences, and it is hard to find another one in the whole circle like this.

A meeting was called for the company's top management, and everyone had lunch together. After the meal, they met and chatted with several second-tier and above singers in the music department. Send each other off.

After hailing a taxi and driving for half an hour, Li Kai arrived at a membership-only club, reported Shan Weidong's card number, and entered the club. It was still early, so he first went to the billiard room to practice snooker for an hour, Under the guidance of the waiter, I entered the reserved private room.

Sitting there drinking tea, waiting for a quarter of an hour, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside, and seeing a fat man and a handsome man walking in behind the waiter, Li smiled and stood up to meet him.

"Brother Liang, Brother Dong."

The fat man is Shan Weidong, and the handsome man is naturally Liu Mingliang.

"You boy, it's too embarrassing to invite me to a wedding wine even after we get married."

Shan Weidong pointed at Li Kai, pretending to be dissatisfied.

Li Kai shouted injustice: "I haven't reached the legal age of marriage, I'm just engaged."

Liu Mingliang patted his shoulder lightly, and joked: "From your point of view, it's not certain whether this marriage will be accepted in the end or not?"

Li opened his eyes and laughed dryly.

After exchanging some pleasantries, and about to take a seat, the private room door opened again, and a man as handsome as Liu Mingliang walked in. Shan Weidong looked back and smiled: "Li Kai, let me introduce you."

Li laughed and shook his head: "No need to introduce, I was a guest singer for Brother Zhao."
