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

Chapter 120 Uncrowned King
248212!

This result is only a mere 5 fewer than Liangzai's previous record, and a little more than 5 fewer than Li Kai's new record.

Ning Lan covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes filled with surprise.

Li Xia beside her looked shocked and ecstatic.

Ma Qian, who was sitting with the assistants, clenched her fists, her little face flushed red from being too excited, like a little overripe apple.

Before, the three of them guessed the sales volume of last week many times. The most conservative estimate was 8 copies given by Ning Lan, and the boldest guess was the breakthrough of 20 copies given by Li Xia.

But never thought it would be close to 25.

What is this concept?
According to statistics, the domestic pop music scene has been on the rise for more than ten years, and the average number of singles released each year exceeds 80. This is still an average that was greatly lowered by the [-]s.

The total number exceeds [-], ranking third.

As far as the single is concerned, Ning Lan has already returned to the peak in one fell swoop, no, surpassed the previous peak.

You know, Ning Lan also released a single five years ago, which was the theme song of a New Year's movie. At that time, Ning Lan had already worn the title of Zhuntian Empress, and the highest sales volume in a week was only a little over 15 copies .

In stark contrast to Ning Lan and the other three were Lu Bin, Liu Li, and Wu Han. Their expressions were gloomy and they felt indescribable.

When Lu Bin was bombarded, Ning Lan was trampled to the ground as well. The only difference was that because Lu Bin stepped on the red line first, everyone did the same, and the trample on Ning Lan was within the rules. decline.

However, the end of the two is the opposite of the other, very different!

The sales of Lu Bin's new album were cut in half last week, and last week's sales continued to decline. He slapped those pessimists loudly.

Others have different thoughts, and their expressions are also different on the outside, some are sighing, some are emotional, and some are envious
"Alas." After the exclamation, the conference room fell into a brief silence. Everyone needed a little time to digest the shocking data. At this moment, a sigh seemed so abrupt.

Everyone's eyes turned with the sound, and for a moment, Li Kai became the focus.

There was clearly a sense of regret in this sigh.

Li stared blankly, then smiled wryly. He was not sensationalizing, but expressing his feelings. Ning Lan's promotional resources were almost the top singles. It is indeed a pity to break the record again.

You know, in the previous life on Earth, the song "I Wish I Could Live Longer" was much more popular than "Suddenly Miss You".

"Li Kai, why are you sighing? It seems that you are a little dissatisfied with the sales of Ning Lan's single last week?" Qiao Li's eyes twitched and she said expressionlessly.

Li Kai shook his head quickly: "No, no, I'm full from breakfast, and I haven't digested it yet."

Said, made a boring interval.

Seeing Li Kai's perfunctory, Qiao Li didn't stare at him, and turned her gaze back to Ning Lan, with a somewhat apologetic expression on her face: "I just said, I have to say sorry to you first, it's because of your last week The sales volume could have been higher. After you sang at the Beijing Moon and Autumn Festival Gala, your single was sold out in the Beijing market the next morning, and sales did not resume until Friday. It took a day and a half out of stock. In addition, In several cities such as Shanghai, there were also out-of-stocks for about half a day on weekends."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

The market in Beijing was sold out for half a day, and several other cities were also out of stock for half a day. The news brought shock to everyone, but it was no less than the weekly sales of nearly 25 copies.

His brain turned quickly and he realized more meanings. If it wasn't for the shortage of supply, a new record for single-week sales would have been born.

Li Kai was the one who reacted the least, and he even felt a sense of relief, which met his expectations. He couldn't wear the crown as he wished, but he was still considered the uncrowned king.

Without further renderings, Qiao Li pushed away the folder and began to announce last week's sales results as usual.

The top spot on the list is undoubtedly Ning Lan's single "May I Live Long", 248212.

It's no surprise that Li Kai's single "Suddenly Miss You" was released for three weeks, and it just broke the record last week. After two weeks of big sales, it dropped by about 20% last week, but it still held on. 207611 mark, [-].

The third place is the new album of King Zhao Chuanxiong, 138345.

Lu Bin's album was cut in half again, leaving only the pitiful 16432. An album that was expected to go platinum in a single year, now it has directly become a hit on the street. Who is to blame?

He can only blame himself for his own death!
Tan Guangyue's single continued to rise slightly, 7212.

Su Qingya was flipping through the entertainment newspaper that her assistant had found for her.

On the Entertainment Morning Post, an article titled "The Empress Zhuntian is Back" took up a quarter of the front page.

Everyday Entertainment, an article titled "One song back to the peak, the next stop diva?" "The article occupies half a page of the sub-board.

Times Entertainment, an article titled: "May I live forever, the uncrowned king" occupies half of the color page.

There are also some entertainment tabloids, and some once again compared Ning Lan and Su Yaqing. The difference is that Su Yaqing won the victory before, but now the pen has changed, and it has become Wang Mo after the two queens. A competition between the two queens of Ningsu may be staged.

Some directly shouted that Ning Lan's song has been sealed, and the music world has entered the era of three queens.

"What qualifications does she have to compare with me? The Empress Dowager is just a dream come true!" Su Yaqing didn't lose her temper, but her face was frosty.

"Yaqing, the music critics of newspapers are just like this. A slight breeze can be written as a tornado, and a drizzle can be written as a thunderstorm. Why bother to get angry? She is at least three levels behind you now. It's just that one song has become a hit. , it will return to its original shape once the heat is over." On the side, her manager said disdainfully.

Su Yaqing said coldly: "Her next album will definitely not be delayed for too long. My new album will only start in the second half of the month. I will release it at the same time as her. Doesn't she want to be the queen? I will use The most direct way to let her understand how far she is from the back position."

The manager's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he heard a magnetic voice.

"It's not without reason that the song "Wishing for a Long Time" became popular. The lyrics part borrowed from the moon and autumn poem "Water Tune Getou". I learned about it these days. In the Moon and Autumn Poetry Contest, "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" won almost all the laurels, and it was the undisputed number one. Some seniors in the literary circle even compared this Moon and Autumn Poetry with Wang Bai's "Moon and Autumn Thoughts" .”

Opposite Su Yaqing, sitting a thin man in his 30s, who distributes panax notoginseng which is popular at the moment, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, exudes a literary and artistic atmosphere all over his body. Hearing what he said, Su Yaqing and the agent Everyone looked up.

Su Yaqing's eyes flickered: "Yu Sheng, what you mean is that the song "I Hope I Live Long" became popular because of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"."

Luo Yusheng nodded, then shook his head: "It's an important factor, but it's only [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is due to the composition, arrangement, marketing, and Ning Lan's voice and temperament, which are really suitable for this song."

Su Yaqing dismissed the last sentence: "She was not as good as me in terms of image and singing skills back then, and she is even worse now."

After finishing speaking, I suddenly thought of something, and said with a sneer, "Yu Sheng, during the Moon and Autumn Festival party, I had a private conversation with Ning Lan, and she told me that you were able to stand out back then because of her support. The songwriter behind her, that is, the Li Kai who was criticized by you, the evaluation she gave is more talented than you."

Luo Yusheng frowned, his eyes flashed brightly, and he murmured: "Tip, she and I just achieved each other back then, and our talent is superior to mine, ha ha."

After pondering for a moment, Luo Yusheng's eyes narrowed, his brows loosened, he looked at Su Yaqing, and said in a calm tone: "I already have inspiration for the two title songs of your new album, just as you said, your album and hers The next new album will be released at the same time.”

"No problem." Su Yaqing smiled sweetly. She didn't mean to provoke Luo Yusheng on purpose, but she hit him right.

Although she has successfully sealed the queen, after all, the time is still short, and the contract with the company is also the first-line standard. In terms of record release, she can propose, but she has no right to make a decision.

Now with Luo Yusheng's support, it's a certainty.

In the eyes of the company's executives, the weight of a great songwriter is more important than that of a super-line.

Daishi Records, lounge.

Mo Zizhou persuasively persuaded: "Qiaoling, don't be so stubborn. The company hired Mr. Xiao to write songs for you, so it can't be the second priority."

The teacher Xiao he was talking about was named Xiao Qiang, a famous songwriter in the circle. Among the female singers in the company, only Deng Yaxuan's albums in the past were worthy of this level of songwriters. Is the first flagship.

It can be seen from this that the company's strong praise for Xu Qiaoling would be readily accepted by other female singers, but Xu Qiaoling was stubborn.

"Li Kai and I have already made an appointment for a song, and we also personally promised that it will be the first title of the album. You also agreed at the time, and Mr. Dai also nodded. How can we say that it will change?"

Seeing Xu Qiaoling's blunt expression, even Mo Zizhou's good temper made him a little angry, so he suppressed his anger and said, "I don't deny Li Kai's talent, but he's not up to the standard of being a celebrity in the upper circle. The teacher is a fake Chinese coffee, and he takes his song as the first hit, how do you want me to explain to Teacher Xiao, unless..."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door, and Mo Zizhou called in. His assistant walked in and handed a document to Mo Zizhou: "Mr. Mo, this is last week's sales list."

Mo Zizhou groaned, his eyes flicked, and for a moment, he froze suddenly and took a deep breath.

Seeing the change in his expression, Xu Qiaoling and her manager Fang Yin looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

After a while, Mo Zizhou looked away from the document, glanced at Xu Qiaoling and Xu Qiaoling, and exhaled: "Okay, as originally planned, Li Kai's song will be the first hit."

This turning point was too abrupt, Xu Qiaoling was a little stunned, but Fang Yin reacted quickly and said slightly startled: "Mr. Mo, the sales volume of "I Hope I Live Long" last week."

Mo Zizhou smiled wryly: ""Suddenly Miss You" only broke the single-week sales record last week, and it was almost broken last week by "I Wish You Long", with more than 24 copies."

He took another breath, and slowly shook his head. What he said before was that "I hope people will last forever" was a big hit, and Li Kai's three songs became popular. Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, it really came true.

Although due to the singles, the final three singles may not be able to reach double platinum, and the fixed coffee position is only a small coffee for the time being, but one thing is for sure, if you want to get Li Kai's song now, the ceiling price of the Chinese coffee may not be enough.

Unlike Fang Yin's shocked expression, Xu Qiaoling's overjoyed expression.

Suteng Records, conference room.

The general manager Hu Han's face was heavy, and he slammed his mouth and said: "What a ghost, two singles in a row exploded, and even Zhao Chuanxiong was crushed to death. The total number of the top two is more than the sum of three to twenty. , according to this momentum, Time Records will be in the limelight at the two awards ceremony at the end of this year, and it may be against the Big Five."

In just one month, a super rookie emerged from Time Records, and the former Zhuntian Empress was about to return to the top, which made him feel uneasy.

In Shenzhen City, the two companies are fighting each other. Once a certain balance is broken, Time Records may overtake Shuteng Records in one fell swoop and become the leader.

Cao Meng said slowly: "There is a certain chance that these two singles are selling well."

It's okay not to mention this, but when Cao Meng mentioned chance, Hu Han became furious and said, "Old Cao, it's not all your fault."

Cao Meng knew that he was in a bad mood, so he said patiently: "Mr. Hu, so far, the biggest signs of Time Records are the two popular first-line SHF, Streamer. I heard that SHF is disbanding, and they will definitely release albums next. Streamer's new album will be released next month, as long as we chase them down and knock them down, Shuteng Records will be able to stabilize Time Records by one head."

Hu Han looked at him: "Are you sure of victory?"

Cao Meng nodded slowly but firmly: "I have contacted Xu Jin, and he promised to write at least one title song for Yang Huan, Cang Ping, and Ge Wenwei. For Wu Qiyuan's Cantonese album, I will tailor it for him."

Hu Han's eyes burst into light, Xu Jin is a top-notch songwriter in the circle, and now he is semi-retired, and has composed four double-platinum title songs.

"Xu Jin personally agreed?"

"My father has some friendship with his father, and this time my old man spoke in person."

Hu Han's face relaxed little by little, showing a relieved smile, nodded and said: "This is troublesome old man, please convey my thanks for me, I will visit in person during the Chinese New Year."

The news of Ning Lan's single hit and SHF's solo career spread throughout the company.

After lunch, Li Kai rested in the office area for a while, then went to the gym to exercise, and walked on the treadmill for more than ten minutes. The female secretary came in and informed him that Qiao Li wanted to discuss with him about the establishment of the album project.

Li Kai agreed, wiped his sweat with a white towel, and followed the female secretary to the deputy director's office.

Qiao Li was sitting in the sofa area. Seeing that Li Kai came in and didn't get up, she waved her hand. Li Kai walked over and sat down opposite her. backed out.

Qiao Li stared at Li Kai for a while, and said an unexpected sentence: "Li Kai, breaking the rules can be one thing, two things, not three things, do you know that at today's high-level meeting, you almost passed your punishment .”
