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

Chapter 65 Interview
"Mr. Ni, do you know what Xu Qiaoling is talking about?"

Li's eyes became meaningful.

According to the consensus in the music circle, no singer has ever sung popular songs, only songs make singers.

The single "Short Hair" was a big hit, and Xu Qiaoling became popular from obscurity. As a songwriter, Li Kai and Xu Qiaoling naturally formed a relationship similar to "the grace of supporting and supporting".

But after all, this relationship is only on the surface, and it cannot be used as a basis for inferring the personal relationship between the two. It is impossible for Ni Houdao, a veteran in the circle, to understand this truth.

Abandoning the root and seeking the end, the meaning is intriguing.

Ni Houdao understood the deep meaning of Li Kai's question, but his expression remained unchanged, and he slowly shook his head and said, "These news was told to you by Qiao Li, the deputy music director of Time Records. I worked with her and had a good relationship."

"The conditions you stated on the phone the night before yesterday, she has already communicated with the big boss, and she came here specially today to have a face-to-face talk with you."

Li Kai heard a long sigh in his heart, and he knew that there could be no free lunch in the world.

The actual ticket price in the front row of the infield is at least [-], and the four seats are [-], plus two pieces of news that are enough to exchange for Xu Qiaoling's favor. This is a lot of work, can he still refuse?
To refuse again is to be ignorant of current affairs.

"Okay, now? Or tomorrow? The fans will end and I still have something to do."

"Or now, there are many acquaintances here, it is not convenient for her to come in, I will take you there"

Ni Houdao is not willing to wait for tomorrow, tomorrow is a variable, but Li Kai has entrusted his fate.

Li Kai had no objection, and whispered a few words into Li Ran's ear, then followed Ni Houdao out of Hall 2 through the side door, walked through a long arc-shaped corridor, and finally came to the rest area near Hall 6.

There is no performance in Hall 6 today, and it is one south and one north from Hall 2. There is only one woman sitting on the sofa in the rest area, wearing a gray professional suit, with her legs folded gracefully, holding a magazine in her hand.

He seemed to have heard footsteps, turned his head to take a look, a calm smile appeared on his dignified face, and slowly got up.

"Let me introduce. This is Qiao Li, the deputy music director of Time Records. This is the champion of the Youth Song Competition, the original creator of "Short Hair", Mr. Li Kai."

Ni Houdao introduced the two of them like a middleman.

Li's eyes flickered slightly, he had definitely never seen this woman before, but her figure and appearance gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Mr. Li, hello." Qiao Li stretched out her hand generously, Li opened her hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, hello."

"Hehe, you can call me by my name, or Sister Li, that's what my friends call me in private."

"I'll call you Sister Li, and don't call me Mr., just call me by my first name."

"it is good."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qiao Li gently withdrew her hand and asked Li Kai to sit down.

"You guys talk, I'll get busy first, if there's anything else I need to do." Ni Houdao left room for the two of them to chat alone, pointed to the public phone on the wall, made a gesture of making a call, and waved his hand out of the break Area.

"Sister Li, I missed the appointment the night before yesterday. I'm really sorry." Li Kai took the initiative to mention that night, expressing apology for his behavior of releasing pigeons.

Qiao Li looked at him, there was something extra in her smile, she rubbed her shoulders intentionally or unintentionally, took a light breath and said, "Everything really went wrong that night, when I walked into the coffee shop, I happened to read a message , I was hit by someone, and the shoulder still hurts to this day, it’s also my fault, I walked with my head down and didn’t look at people.”

Li Kai's complexion suddenly became brighter, and the doubts in his heart were solved instantly. No wonder there was a sense of familiarity. It turns out that we have already met face to face.

Alas, you said you were fine that night, why did your shoulders hurt again after two days? Could it be that you want to settle accounts after autumn?
"It's my secretary who called you. He may not have considered things thoughtfully enough. I hope you don't take it to heart." Qiao Li apologized casually as if she didn't see Li's open face.

Li Kai understood what she was referring to, and felt a little embarrassed. He gave a fake number when he paid three thousand and five for a song.

"Sister Li, I should be the one who apologized."

Qiao Li waved her hand gracefully: "Let's get down to business. Objectively speaking, the conditions you raised are indeed a bit high. As far as I know, Deng Yaxuan's current contract is about the same. Of course, this was three years ago. Signed, Deng Yaxuan signed a five-year contract with Dai Shi, and the contract expires in two years, if the contract is renewed or transferred, the terms of the contract will definitely be raised."

As is the usual practice of negotiation, it must be suppressed when you come up, Li Kai didn't answer, and waited for the next article.

Qiao Li pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then looked at him and said, "I want to ask, it's the Yun Kai group that participated in the Youth Song Competition, not you personally, the conditions you put forward represent you personally, or you can do it for you The combination partner is in charge?"

Li opened his mouth with a trace of bitterness, shook his head and said, "I can only represent myself, and I can tell you that I haven't seen my partner since the Youth Song Contest. Her family objected to her entering the entertainment industry." .”

Qiao Li was a little surprised, and then said helplessly: "So, I asked a friend to get your contact information from the main committee of the Youth Song Competition, and first called Miss He, but the phone number she left was an empty number. "

"Empty number?"

"Yes."

Li Kai didn't ask He Jingyun for a phone call, but he knew that the record companies who asked him for an interview must have them. The reason why he didn't ask for it was because he hoped that He Jingyun would show up on his own initiative.

Until the last moment before signing the contract, Li Kai really didn't want to contact him by phone. There was no reason, it was just a genuine resistance.

But now, when he learned that the number He Jingyun had left was an empty number, his mood suddenly became depressed, and he was still a little dazed.

Seeing Li's distracted look, Qiao Li said narrowly, "Oh, what are you thinking?"

Li opened his eyes and smiled apologetically: "It's nothing."

Qiao Li also smiled, then restrained herself, and got back to the topic: "That is to say, you signed the contract individually, um, see if this works, test the waters of singles, and album projects, commercial performances, these three parts will be divided according to you The conditions mentioned, if the record is split, the starting point is eight points. If the test single is sold to gold, it can be raised to nine points. If the album after that sells to platinum, I can make the decision, and it is more than the nine points you proposed. , add another point."

Qiao Li's face was not serious, but she was very serious. She looked at Li and said, "I think I should basically agree with your request. There are only two points now. The first is the contract period. Two years is too short. I hope it will be at least four years. The second is your additional conditions. During the contract period, it is not impossible for your works to be sold to other record companies or singers, but they must be approved by the company. Other singers wrote five songs, and the company will buy them at the market price after evaluation.”
