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

Chapter 93 I miss you so much

Qiao Li gave her a sweet treat when she brought her words to this point, and if Li Kai tried to evade it, he would be too ignorant of the world.

After deliberating for a moment, he said: "I not only listened to the songs in Sister Ning's new album, but also the songs in her previous two albums. The style of the music has basically not changed. Three years of fading out is not a long time, and the fans will not lose so much. , but the fans’ expectations were not met, so they were unwilling to pay for it, after all, there are only a small number of hardcore fans.”

The implication is inevitable!
Qiao Li digested for a while, and said: "That is to say, unless you change the style, if you release another album, you will still repeat the same mistakes."

"Not necessarily. Didn't Sister Ning get a work by a big star in the industry? The work is good enough and fans will buy it." Li Kai said cautiously.

The direction of the music industry and the record market have always been unpredictable. Not to mention him, even the marketing directors of the five major giants, I dare not say that I can fully grasp it, but there is one thing. There are masterpieces, or there are more bright spots, otherwise it will be difficult to return to the top, and as time goes by, the popularity will only drop again and again.

"It's true that Liu Chunxi is a famous songwriter in the circle, but he mainly writes songs for male singers. None of his top ten masterpieces are originally sung by female singers. Besides, he has a contract with Hua Ge, and Ning Lan got This song must be the one left by other singers”

Qiao Li had no expression on her face, and said while thinking: "So, it is not wise for Ning Lan to rush to release the next album."

Li Kai tacitly agreed that if the title song is not expected, it would be unwise and even worse, and this pounce would directly hurt the vitality, accelerate the collapse of the fan base, and completely disappoint the company.

Qiao Li understood what Li Kai meant, and fell silent. After a while, she asked, "If you were Ning Lan, what would you do?"

Li Kai really thought about this question, and he already had the answer, so he said: "The album is postponed, and a single will be released first to test the waters, so that even if it fails, there will be another chance. I can also have a bottom line when I release an album.”

Qiao Li's eyes flickered a few times, and she nodded ambiguously.

In past and present lives, Li Kai released a record for the first time.

After four days and more than 30 repetitions, the recording was finally done on Friday afternoon.

I thought I could have two free days on the weekend, but I didn't expect to receive a call from Ni Houdao early in the morning on Saturday. Qiao Li notified him temporarily that he would audition for his single department this afternoon.

According to the company's procedures, each singer has to pass the audition meeting of the department after recording the album. After the deputy director approves and signs it, he will then submit it to the general manager's office. Estimate ahead of time before going into production.

The audition meeting of the department is mainly to test the quality of the recording, which is checked by the deputy director, while the audition meeting of the company is mainly to estimate the sales volume and determine the number of the first batch of recorded records.

In fact, the two audition sessions are just one cutscene, and the chance of the deputy director requesting a re-recording is very small, and the estimated sales are basically based on the singer's level.

After eating breakfast and lunch, Li Kai came to the company on foot, first went to the vocal practice room to practice singing for half an hour, and when the time was almost up, he went to the audio-visual room.

In the audition meeting of the department, only deputy director Qiao Li, two senior producers of the department, Lu Ming, Huang Yanfen, Li Kai, and Ni Houdao participated.

Even Qiao Li's secretary and Li Kai's assistant were not eligible to participate, and as for other singers, they had no chance.

Records need to be kept relatively secret between the completion of the recording and the listing. The copyright has been registered. The fear is not to be listened to, but to be recorded.

audio-visual room.

Surrounded by sofas, everyone randomly chose seats and sat down. Qiao Li made an OK gesture, and Ni Houdao in the screening room pressed the play button.

"I am most afraid of the sudden silence of the air, the most afraid of friends' sudden concern, the most afraid of memories suddenly rolling over, the pain will not subside, and the most afraid of hearing news from you."

"Suddenly Miss You" is a very clean lyric song, without the affectation of ordinary lyric songs.

In the soothing sound of the piano, a boy is singing about his maturity, his mature love, and his heartfelt longing after his maturity, with a soothing and ups and downs melody.

"We are so sweet, so beautiful, so trustworthy, so crazy, so passionate, why do we still have to grow old in our own happiness and regrets, and suddenly miss you so much"

The rhythm at the beginning is relatively slow, and each sentence carries a deep emotional accumulation. When the chorus is not finished but immediately after the bridge, the rhythm suddenly becomes tight again, quickly bringing out the deepest pain of first love, and then the melody, lyrics , The musical instruments resonate together, and as the beats become stronger one by one, it conveys a natural resonance of regret.

The whole song peeled away layer by layer the rigid shell that the audience has long been accustomed to.

Li Kai unreservedly sang the reluctance to lose love deep in his heart, and at the same time sang the pain in his heart after being single after breaking up with love.

After the song was played, there was silence in the audio-visual room.

Qiao Li, Lu Ming, and Huang Yanfen looked at Li Kai together, with unspeakable complexity in their eyes. If this song was sung by a 28-year-old youth, they would be able to accept it, but Li Kai only had it.

The emotional expression in the song feels like losing the first love I love the most. This emotion has been buried deep in my heart and slowly fermented, and then burst out at a certain time.

This kind of experience, or even though there is no experience, but the rich life experience is enough to feel and appreciate, how could Li Kai have it, and how could he sing songs so affectionately if he didn't.

There was silence for half a minute.

Qiao Li turned her gaze to Lu Ming and the two, and said, "Okay, let's talk."

Lu Ming stroked the mustache on his chin, and said in a long voice, "I think this song will be popular. If it is a single, it will not be a problem to break through the gold."

The departmental audition meeting does not stipulate estimated sales, but everyone usually expresses their approval in an estimated way, just like fans get together before a football game and guess the outcome and score of each other.

Huang Yanfen is bolder: "I think red is for sure, and gold is a bit conservative. If it is the title of the album, I even think platinum is expected. For a single, 70 copies can be expected."

70 for a single song is already a very high estimate, but Qiao Li still thinks it is too low. She compared this song with "Short Hair" in her heart, and concluded that it is at least at the same level, or even Beyond!

Of course, she won't say this estimate. After all, "Short Hair" is too strong. Apart from the main factor of the song, the element of luck cannot be ruled out.

Qiao Li took a deep look at Li Kai, and she was relieved in her heart. In order to sign Li Kai, she bet her own future.

She said with a slight smile: "Red is for sure, it depends on how popular it is."
