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

Chapter 104 Unexpected support

Ni Houdao said with a black face: "The company must be discussing a solution. Originally, I wanted to call Mr. Qiao, but then I thought, this call has to be made by you. Now your attitude is very important."

Li blinked and said, "What's my attitude?"

"To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell to force Lu Bin to clarify publicly and withdraw the inappropriate comments about you. The reason is on your side. The firmer your attitude, the sooner the company will make a decision."

Ni Houdao used to be the deputy director, and he is very experienced in dealing with this kind of matter. As long as the source is extinguished, it is equivalent to controlling the fire. Even if it cannot be extinguished at once, it will not spread again.

As for Lu Bin, who is the source, standing up and "admitting his mistakes" at this time is tantamount to setting himself on fire. Even if he is not burned to death in the end, he will definitely be bruised.

After all, Lu Bin is a second-tier singer, and the contract period is still more than three years away. No matter how Li Kai's contract is comparable to a second-tier contract, he is just a newcomer. Abandoning Lu Bin and protecting Li Kai, not to mention objections from the company's senior management, even Qiao Li is not so easy make up your mind.

Therefore, Li Kai must speak out. Only when he shows his attitude can the company make a decision. Otherwise, it is likely to drag on like this day by day, and the fire will burn more and more.

Li Kai digested for a while, nodded, and shook his head again, nodding because he agreed with Ni Houdao's statement, shaking his head because he was not going to do it.

"Wait and see."

"I can't wait. Shuteng Records has made a move. The No. [-] songwriter and the two first-line singers have personally participated. This is to completely discredit you."

"I don't think so. You just said that Shuteng Records was only released today. It can be understood as taking advantage of the fire, but why is it not rushing ducks to the shelves?"

". Drive the ducks to the shelves?"

"Singers, including some music critics, may think that criticizing me can suppress the sales of my single, but the record company will not fail to understand that this is a double-edged sword, and it is also a free advertisement for my single, Shu Teng Records saw this, and they were afraid it would be the opposite, and they couldn’t stop it. They could only make mistakes. Anyway, the publicity resources have already reached 50, and they simply added 80, or even 100 million. Whether it burns to ashes, or burns more and more red, not to mention Shuteng Records, no one in the entire music circle can accurately predict."

"The publicity effect is there, but it's all negative. You can see what the result will be after watching the movie. If the score is not good, the box office will be poor."

"That's because movies need to pay for tickets before you can watch them, but you have to listen to records before deciding whether to buy them."

"A record with rave reviews may not necessarily sell well, but a record with rave reviews will definitely not sell well."

Li Kai smiled silently. In the later generations of the earth, especially with the emergence of the Internet, various publicity and marketing methods have been gradually tried, and many surprising counter-effects have emerged one after another, breaking the inherent judgments of professionals in the industry time and again.

Take the music circle as an example, there are many bad reviews in the circle, being rejected by singers one by one, and finally, once it is released online, there are not a few songs that immediately become popular.

But right now, in Huaguo, the world in [-], the promotion and marketing methods are still relatively traditional. Even the entertainment industry, which is ahead of other industries, still maintains a fixed mindset of having fewer negative reviews and fewer consumers.

There is no point in arguing with different views.

"Mr. Ni, let me say one more thing. Nine turbidity and one cleanness are the appearance of great nobility. This is not a superstition, but a person's character and behavior. Gao Zu and Song Bang are typical representatives. Put it on the record. I think It's the same reason."

Gao Zu, Song Tie is equivalent to Han Gao Zu on earth, Liu Bang.

Ni Houdao's eyelids twitched, comparing Gao Zu, could this be Li Kai's ambition for the single "Suddenly Miss You"?
"Nine turbidity and one clearness, then there must be a clearness. Now the world is full of turbid water."

"Isn't the single itself clear?"

Ni Houdao was choked for a moment, seeing Li Kai's calm and confident face, he didn't try to persuade him again.

He knew that Li Kai had made up his mind, and the two of them had been getting along for a while. Li Kai was easy to talk when he spoke, and he was really stubborn when he was stubborn.

When Ning Lan recorded a song, she repeated it sixteen times at most, but this time, because of Li Kai's persistence, she repeated it a full 28 times, which is evident from this.

As Ni Houdao said, once Shuteng Records is sold, it is not so easy to stop.

On Thursday, the topic of newcomers in the music scene continued to heat up, and Li Kai and his single were further degraded.

The second-tier singers under Shuteng Records made their voices out one after another. Four domestic entertainment newspapers that ranked between [-] and [-] published relevant articles. There were also two small coffees in the circle, and a senior songwriter came forward to say that they were all I gave the song "Suddenly Miss You" a good rating.

That night, the three of Li Kai, who had been on the train for more than nine hours, arrived in Beijing, the last stop of the promotion, and it was almost nine o'clock by taxi to the hotel.

Called to ask the hotel to deliver food, Li Kai and the three of them were burying their heads in eating, the phone rang, Li Kai got close, got up and went to pick it up.

The caller was looking for him, but the other party was someone he could never have imagined in his dreams, the boss Ren Zong's assistant.

After chatting for seven or eight minutes, Li Kai finally said something to let me think about it. I will call you back tomorrow morning. After hanging up, I found out that Ni Houdao and Su Ting stopped their chopsticks and looked at him eagerly.

"President Ren's phone call probably means that the marketing department has a budget. It needs to invest at least 60 yuan to put out the fire within three days. The total cost of my single is only 23 yuan. The company is willing to invest, but I have to bear half of it." , instead of cash, use four songs."

One is his exclusive producer, and the other is his assistant, his right-hand man at work. In front of them, Li Kai doesn't feel the need to hide anything.

Su Ting turned cold and annoyed: "Lu Bin lit the fire, why should you share half of the cost of putting out the fire?"

Ni Houdao was much calmer than Su Ting. He frowned deeply, and after a moment of silence, he said, "This is not a matter of ignoring it. Lu Bin certainly didn't expect it to turn out like this. To give a bad example, it's like a certain A resident fell asleep with the gas on. As a result, not only his own house burned down, but also the whole building. The resident was at fault, but he didn't expect such serious consequences. He has to bear the responsibility, but How much to bear is open to debate."

After a pause, he looked at Li Kai and said, "The key now is that the assistant sent a message, on behalf of Mr. Ren, to decide to protect Lu Bin. The company is not a welfare structure, it is about profit and loss. You are the victim, yes, you don't agree. The company will also put out the fire, but it will delay the time and lower the cost, and your single will suffer. If you want to be fast, then you have to bear part of it.”

Li Kai was silent for a while, then nodded. What Ni Houdao said was not unreasonable, but he had another thought in his heart. Although he and his single were pushed to the forefront very quickly, there were still three days. It is entirely possible to take fire fighting action a day or two earlier, so why did it spread to this point?

Besides, the request for four songs made him feel like he was being calculated.

He didn't say this idea, because it was just speculation and baseless.

Ni Houdao added another sentence: "Since Assistant President Ren came to you directly, he obviously skipped President Qiao. If you tell President Qiao about this matter, it will be complicated instead."

Li Kai nodded again, remained silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Dinner, why is the atmosphere so heavy?"

Ni Houdao and the two were a little stunned, so what did you decide?It's fine if you don't know. Now that you know, there is no result, and you will suffer from insomnia again tonight.

Li opened his mouth and started to move, took a few mouthfuls, saw that the two had no appetite, guessed something, and said: "My promotion fee for this week was only 10 yuan, but now it's more than a million yuan, the strength is enough Big, there is no need for another 60."

Ni Houdao blinked three times, understood the meaning, and couldn't help but smile wryly. In Li Kai's eyes, those slanders against him have become a promotional resource for assists. To put it this way, it costs more than 150 million.

"Why don't you discuss with Mr. Ren's assistant, come up with two songs, and ask the company to allocate half of the resources. There is no need to completely extinguish the fire. Just hope that it is not one-sided. At least there are praises and criticisms. It will be on the two rankings this weekend."

Ni Houdao made a suggestion of the next best thing. This time, even Su Ting nodded slightly.

"Let him wind from east to west, north and south, I will stand still. There are some things that can't be made exceptions. Once an exception is made, there will be a second time." Li Kai shook his hand nonchalantly, picked a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling while chewing. road.

Ni Houdao and the two seemed to understand, but Li Kai didn't explain. In his contract, the songwriter company only has one right of priority for the same price. There will be a second, a third
That night, Li Kai slept well, Ni Houdao and Su Ting suffered from insomnia, and the same insomnia the night before, when they came out of the room on Friday morning, they both had dark circles under their eyes.

Li opened his eyes, knew that they were worried about his single, and tried to comfort him with a few words, which finally turned into a silent sigh. What he said now is pale and weak, and everything will be known when the sales list is released on Monday.

When going to the restaurant for breakfast, Li Kai deliberately took two boiled eggs, wrapped them in a small towel, and handed them to the two of them respectively.

It may not be very effective to remove the black circle from the egg, but the effect is still there.

After breakfast, Li Kai called Mr. Ren's assistant back and politely refused.

And just over an hour after Li Kai hung up the phone, a heavyweight in the music industry took the initiative to talk about the topic of newcomers in the music scene when he was interviewed by a reporter at a scenic spot in Beijing where he was filming an MV.

He also mentioned Li Kai, but he did not give a negative example, but gave a very high evaluation. He compared the song "Suddenly Miss You" with the first title of a new album by a first-line singer last month, saying More than anything.

This heavyweight is surprisingly one of the four super kings, Guo Yifu.

There were a total of six reporters interviewed at that time, four were reporters from the entertainment newspaper, and the remaining two were from the Beijing Entertainment Channel and the Beijing Music Radio Station. They broadcast the news at the fastest speed during the noon news.

And in the afternoon, another person stood up, not very important in the music circle, but a rising star, and very important, it was Xu Qiaoling.

In front of more than 20 media reporters, Xu Qiaoling publicly announced the fact that the singers, music critics, and songwriters who have been trampled on Li Kai in the past few days deliberately ignored the law.

The songwriter of "Short Hair" and "Suddenly Miss You" is the same person, Li Kai.

Moreover, it is said that the quality of the song "Suddenly Miss You" is better than "Short Hair".

Li Kai also mentioned that he is the songwriter of "Short Hair" on the live broadcast, but the live broadcasts he broadcasts are all local music stations, the audience is limited, and the fans recognize the singer, so the concept of the same songwriter may not buy it .

As the original singer of "Short Hair", Xu Qiaoling stood up and spoke out in support, even derogating herself as a famous song to elevate Li Kai's single. It is not an exaggeration to say that the weight has increased tenfold.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, another person appeared to speak out, and he was also a heavyweight in the circle. He was not a singer, but a Chinese coffee, Feng Mo, who was at the same level as Shu Teng Records' No. [-] songwriter Cao Meng, but with older qualifications.

Feng Mo also analyzed the song "Suddenly Miss You" and gave a high evaluation, calling it a rare work, and even compared it with his own masterpiece.

It was already night when Li Kai learned the news from Ni Houdao, Xu Qiaoling would stand up to support him, he was not surprised, two days ago, Xu Qiaoling handcuffed him, and left a message that she wanted to hold a press conference to rectify Li Kai's name , but was blocked by the company. If Li Kai needed it, she would step up efforts to fight for it from the company.

Li Kai didn't reply to her, but he didn't want her to be involved in the vortex. Standing up and speaking out was equivalent to offending a large number of people in the circle. Now that the king of heaven, Guo Yifu, has spoken up, and Xu Qiaoling will come forward, the resistance from the company will be much smaller. In addition, the title of Xu Qiaoling's new album had already been booked with Li Kai, so the company had to make some concessions.

But Guo Yifu, Fengmo stood up to support him, especially Guo Yifu, who was the first to speak out, which made him a little confused. He didn't know these two big figures in the circle at all.

In the end, it was Ni Houdao's words that gave Li Kai a reasonable answer.

"Don't think too much, with "Short Hair" and this song "Suddenly Miss You", there will be many people who will ask you for a song, and there will be many songwriters in the circle who want to sing because they appreciate you. Make you this friend."

On Saturday, Li Kai appeared on an evening talk show on Kyoto Music Station, marking the end of his single promotion period.

On Sunday, the three of Li Kai returned to Shenzhen. It was also on this day that Li Kai's single "Suddenly Miss You" entered the first round of new song recommendations on the two charts.

on Monday.

Li Kai came to the company on his way to work, and obviously felt that the atmosphere was a little different.

I still went to the vocal practice room to practice singing. According to the practice of the past few weeks, the department’s regular meeting was held at [-]:[-], but today, until Li Kai finished singing, it was [-]:[-], and Su Ting did not come to knock on the door to call him .

He walked out of the practice room. Su Ting was waiting at the door. Seeing him, she said, "Secretary Chen has informed everyone to wait. Today's regular department meeting may be postponed until 11:30. Mr. Qiao will hold a high-level regular meeting at the top. It's been an hour, so there should be something important."
