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

Chapter 96 Three Conditions
Li Kai was not surprised that she would raise the price again, but she never expected that she would say something like begging and owed a favor.

This is the quasi-diva who was once sought after by everyone. Even if she is not cold-tempered, she must have her own inner arrogance, so she put her figure so low.
Li Kai felt a little embarrassed in his heart, more helpless, is it necessary, this is purely embarrassing for me.

"Sister Ning, many of the songs in your past albums must have been the works of well-known songwriters in the industry. If you ask them for a song or two, there is always some affection for them."

This is a very normal logic. It is not uncommon for singers to fall out with their managers, but they almost never fall out with songwriters.

It's like he and Xu Qiaoling, even if they don't talk to each other in private, at most they keep in touch, when Xu Qiaoling releases an album and asks for a song, Li Kai will still think about their relationship, at most they won't make a masterpiece.

Ning Lan didn't answer right away, took a sip of the milk tea, and then said: "Back then, I insisted on retiring, and I didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, and I offended everyone."

Li opened a wry smile, you are quite frank, but you have such a criminal record, if you come to me to ask a song again, wouldn't you be digging a hole for me?

Ning Lan seemed to be able to guess Li Kai's thoughts, paused, and continued: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't offend them personally, but the company, and my team was assigned to me by the company."

"At the beginning, when I was at the peak of my career, the company had already prepared a contract renewal for me, and the terms were also in accordance with the first line, but I suddenly chose to retire, which made the company's plan come to nothing and caused a great loss."

It dawned on Li that a Zhuntian queen who could step into the top line at any time could bring at least eight figures of profit to the company a year, even for Rolling Snow Records, which is one of the five giants, it still lost a lot of meat.

In life, there are not a few friends who turn against each other because of interests, let alone a company whose first goal is profit?
"I chose to come back, not on a whim, but after careful consideration. First, after I retired, I discovered that I really like singing. Second, I retired for more than two years abroad and encountered some troubles. I fought a lawsuit and spent a lot of money. Although I still have some savings, I need to earn some more. Third, Sister Li, Xiao Ma is also my manager and assistant. Just resign and come help me, my fate is not only related to myself, but also related to them.”

Ning Lan slowly stirred the milk tea with a spoon, and said with lowered eyes: "I know, you signed a singer contract with the company, and you have complete autonomy as a songwriter. As long as you are willing to help me, you will It’s the grace of reinvention, I used to be self-willed, but now I won’t, let’s put it this way, if one day I want to retreat again, I can ignore other people’s persuasion, but if you persuade me, I will listen.”

Speaking of which, it's heavy.

Of course, the double skin of the mouth is just a stepping stone, so Li Kai just let it go, but it is undeniable that the effect is still there, at least Ning Lan made him feel frank and determined.

Li Kai didn't try to be perfunctory anymore, he was silent for a while, and gave his true thoughts: "Sister Ning, since you said so, let me tell the truth, your next album wants to sell more than 80 copies Lu Bin is even more difficult."

Ning Lan snapped her fingers, looked up in astonishment, Li Kai met her gaze, and said calmly: "Lu Bin's previous three gold tickets were more than 50 and less than 70. The expectations for an album will not be particularly high, as long as there is a title song that is worthy of platinum sales, there is a good chance to break through to a new height in one fell swoop."

"If you fade out for three years, you will indeed lose some popularity, but I believe that most of the fans are still there, but they have passed the period of fanaticism and calmed down."

"When you release an album after you come back, they will pay attention, but except for some very hardcore ones, most of them are no longer unconditional support. You can't meet their expectations. Not only will they not pay for it, but it will also cause them to complain. Word of mouth On the contrary, it affects the purchase desire of new fans."

"And their expectations are based on your peak, which is much higher than Lu Bin."

The reason is not difficult to understand. It is a downwind for a person to go up all the way, but it is a headwind after falling from a high place and going up again, which is much more difficult.

Ning Lan digested it for a while, thinking that her cousin had found her a song by a famous artist in the industry at her request, but he hadn't even expected his next album. At first, she didn't care about it, but now Li Opening the window paper, I gradually realized that it was because my cousin didn't like it, but he didn't want to hit her too much.

Knowing this, she couldn't help but look a little sad.

Li Kai was just telling a fact, not to shake her determination, and then changed the topic: "It's hard to return to hard, but if you don't challenge it, let alone you, even I won't be reconciled."

Ning Lan subconsciously nodded her head, and the next moment, her eyes were fixed and she stared straight at Li Kai: "You, you mean, you agreed to help me write songs?"

The distance between each other was less than two feet, and being locked by her like a prey, Li Kai felt a little terrified, and took the initiative to look away: "The premise is that you must promise me a few conditions, none of which are indispensable."

"You said."

"First, it's not advisable to release an album right away. Release a single first to test the waters, regain popularity, and then release an album."

Ning Lan's lips curved down, she sighed, and said bitterly: "Mr. Qiao also meant the same thing. You and her coincided with each other. I have thought about it calmly these days, and I am indeed a little impatient. Since you That said, well, I promise, what else?"

Li Kai rolled his eyes in his heart, what coincidence, this is basically his opinion to Qiao Li.

"Second, we will discuss about the album after that. I only talk about the single. From production to promotion plan, I have the right to make decisions."

A strange color flashed in Ning Lan's eyes: "There is no problem with the production. The producer who assigned me will respect my opinion to a large extent, but the publicity"

Li Kai stopped her words: "You go to convince Mr. Qiao about this. I don't have high requirements for the total cost, and I will make a minimum of 20."

Ning Lan thought for a while, then gritted her silver teeth secretly: "Okay!"

Li Kai smiled and raised three fingers: "The last condition, at next Monday's regular meeting, your agent must apologize to them in public for the life attack on Teacher Ni and Su Ting at this Monday's regular meeting. I want to apologize for drinking Su Ting unreasonably in the cafeteria."

Ning Lan's complexion changed slightly. It's okay to apologize privately, but to apologize in public. With Sister Li's temperament, this is a bit difficult.

She understands that Li Kai is protecting the people around her, and she is the same, she is very protective of those around her, especially, as soon as she gets the news of her comeback, Sister Li resigns without hesitation and joins her. The way she does things may be a bit extreme, but the starting point is for her. , Let Sister Li be wronged, how can she get over this hurdle in her heart?
"Could it be private"

"No, they were attacked in public, and the apology must also be in public."

Seeing Li Kai's resolute eyes, Ning Lan was silent for a long moment, and finally nodded slowly: "Okay, I agree!"
