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

Chapter 138

Monday, October 12.

Last week's sales table.

First, Xu Qiaoling's new album "Girl Waving Wings", 252812.

Second, He Jingyun's single "Vulnerable Woman", 248722.

Third, Tan Guangyue's new album "Your Eyes Betray Your Heart", 239395.

Fourth, Yang Huan's new album "Love's No Return", 67817.

Ninth, Ning Lan's single "I wish you a long time" 43228.

Tenth, Lin Yu, a second-tier singer, album "Old Years", 43143.

Wu Qiyuan, who was ranked fourth last week, fell to 40912th place, 35832, Fan Xing ranked 3th, 29632, and Chenguang's sales fell below 27, only [-], ranking [-]th.

Is it Tan Guangyue and Xu Qiaoling who continue to fight sideways, or are other singers bucking the trend and making a comeback?No, it should be said that going against the trend, as long as a reasonable person in the circle will understand that a comeback is impossible.

The result came out.

Both are available.

Last week, two new songs were recommended on the two charts. Xu Qiaoling's second hit, respectively stopped in the sixth round of the Billboard, and the fifth round of the Golden Melody Chart. Increased by nearly [-]% last week.

Tan Guangyue's album, due to the excellent results in the second week, the company added an additional 15 yuan, and played it on the prime time and the second prime time of [-] local music radio stations. This cost is almost equal to the original promotional cost.

Sales volume increased by more than 20.00% compared with last week.

The album sales of the two hit a new high, forming an unstoppable trend of horizontal pressure, but they failed to suppress all the albums like last week.

He Jingyun's single, rising like a comet in this all-inclusive situation, has fulfilled the expectations of many people in the circle and felt that they were extravagantly expected to go against the trend.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that He Jingyun's single is a Cantonese song.

From last Friday to Sunday in Liangdao and two days in Guangzhou City last weekend, the album "A Woman Easily Injured" has been out of stock.

It is said that Dream Cube Records replenished the Liangdao market three times and Guangzhou City twice, and even supplied all the goods that should have been supplied to other second- and third-tier cities to these three places.

It is conservatively estimated that within three days in these three places, the sales of this single contributed to more than 17 copies.

The reason why Wu Qiyuan's Cantonese album sold more than 4 last week was because of the normal sales from Monday to Thursday, and the two days of Friday and weekend directly entered the slow-selling mode.

The three dark horses came out together, and they were the three most pure black newcomers. Even in the early 90s, during the chaotic period of the domestic music scene, none of them appeared.

Last week was the first case, and the entire music circle really saw what it means to have a black horse trampling to death, two black horses strewn with corpses, and three black horses with no living things left.

Cangping's album is the first hit, recommended new songs on the two charts, the fifth round of the Feng Yun chart, and the sixth round of the Golden Melody chart. The performance is not only not bad, it is even impressive. As usual, the weekly sales should start at 8.

Ge Wenwei's album was the first hit, and several senior music critics from the entertainment newspapers posted their praises. It was not a bluff, it was indeed a good song, and the publicity resources were also sufficient. Liu may not be well-known outside the circle, but he is definitely the No. 10 figure in the circle. He has connected several big-name singers in series and cheers for Ge Wenwei. As usual, it is not wishful thinking to sell [-] yuan a week.

Even if it is Chaoyang, the first title of the album is also remarkable. It is a masterpiece of a Chinese celebrity in the circle. The promotional resources in the first week even reached the standard of a quasi-king and queen. Loss, will lose some fans, but after all, there is no fermentation, at most it will be 8 to 6%, ordinarily, even if the weekly sales are less than [-], [-] will definitely be there.

However, to no avail!
Under the trample of the three black horses, all the rules no longer apply.

It is already a blessing in misfortune to become a wounded body that only falls to the street, and there are more corpses and bones!

Faced with such a sales report, there was no shock in the circle, only sighs and silence!
Ever since He Jingyun became famous overnight and became a big hit, everyone had expected it.
And at noon, the chief music critic published an article on the front page of an entertainment newspaper that barely made it into the top ten sales in the country, which aroused deep sympathy among many people in the circle.

It is written in the article that the birth of three super rookies at the same time can be called a spectacle in the domestic music scene. This is not only a rare accident, but it is not accidental, because the title songs of the three super rookies come from the same songwriter The work, the songwriter is called Li Kai!
The principle of popular singers with songs that are consensus within the circle, rather than saying that the three super rookies dominated the record market in December, it is better to say that they were suppressed by Li Kai alone.

In the afternoon, such comments appeared one after another in various entertainment newspapers. Finally, the most influential Huanxing Entertainment News in China published an eye-catching headline on the front page, "The Chinese Music World in 96, Ending with Li Kaiyue".

In the past, there were not many months in the music circle named after a certain singer, but there were also many. For example, Ma Qianwen, the queen of sweet songs, had two months, and the king of rock and roll, Metal Bird, had three months. Among active singers, Guo Yifu, Murphy, and Liu Mingliang all had a month.

But there are only two columns of months named after songwriters, both of which date back to the 80s, one is called the godmother of sweet songs, and the other is called the godfather of rock and roll.

Li Kai is the third!

And this issue of Huanxing Entertainment News also has great historical significance, because everything in the music circle named after Li Kai starts from here.

A few years later, when people were arguing about the starting point of that immortal legend in the music world, some said it was the first single after his debut, and some said it was the first work released before his debut. Many people think that it was December 96, 12.
"Suddenly Miss You" has been on the market for three months, with a cumulative sales volume of 154 million. With the advantage of two days, it once again broke the record of the fastest sales of 150 million.

At the same time, it has become the domestic music scene, with No. 11 singles breaking 150 million.

Li Kai has also reaped the most lucrative income since his debut.

According to the original ladder sharing model, if the song itself has sold more than 150 million copies, Li Kai can get [-]%. As for the record share, if it has passed platinum sales, it can get [-]%, plus [-]%.

The average price of records calculated by the finance department is 7 yuan and 2 cents, which is nearly [-]% lower than the average price of Ning Lan's records. This shows that Li Kai's sales of records are more tapes, and the sales of Ning Lan's records are more For CD, this also reflects the surprise of the consumer group.

Li Kai's fans are younger and have limited spending power, while Ning Lan's fans are older.

116.

After deducting 114%, the actual income is 7.

In the entertainment industry in this world, record companies need to pay a fixed tax based on volume, while individuals are exempt from tax.

Li Kai suddenly became a millionaire.

The millionaire in 96 is comparable to the multi-millionaire in the later generations of the earth.

Su Ting also shared more than 3 yuan in bonuses (from Li Kai and the company, plus a piece of about 4% of Li Kai's total income), plus subsidies, and received more than [-] yuan in one lump sum.

And her current basic salary has changed from 300 yuan a month to 1500 yuan.

Today's Su Ting has completely changed from an ugly duckling to a little swan. Among the assistants, she stands out from the crowd. Even Ning Lan's assistant Ma Qian's income cannot compare with hers.

Ni Houdao was promoted to a senior producer, and received nearly 3 yuan in single bonuses, and his monthly income increased to nearly [-] yuan, and next, Li Kai released another album, and he enjoyed a share of [-]%.

This level of salary has already surpassed that when he was the deputy music director of Dimei Records, when she had four or five singers, the total sales were less than platinum.
One person has the way, and the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven!
This is just the beginning, the big head is behind.

So far, Li Kai has not accepted commercial performances or endorsements, and according to statistics, the general selling price of a single is only about half of the album, and the sales volume is only [-] to [-]% of the album.

"Currently, Ning Lan's quotation for commercial performances is 12 to 15 yuan for three songs, and Liuguang has dropped to 8 yuan. Chaoyang recently quoted 6 to 8 yuan, Fan Xing 5 yuan, and Chenguang, I estimate it is only 3 to 5 yuan. Guess what. , how much is Tan Guangyue?"

Li Kai didn't have an agent for the time being, and Su Ting was a little immature, so Ni Houdao picked it up first, holding a thick stack of documents in his hand, with a mysterious face.

The company's quotations for commercial performances of artists, record sales, including newcomers who failed to pass the singles in the water test, and were unilaterally terminated by the company, are all made public, and only the specific income of the artist is kept secret.

The purpose is to stimulate and promote, so that singers are full of competitive pressure and motivation.

For third-tier singers, the general commercial price is 1 to 3, for second-tier singers, 3 to 8, for first-tier singers, 8 to 20, for super-first-tier singers, 20+, generally no less than 30.

The gap is huge. There is also a crucial point. Most of the commercial performances in this world do not include transportation and accommodation fees. The lower the price of commercial performances, the higher the proportion.

"Guangyue, his album is definitely going to break gold in one week, and platinum is expected within three months. The performer should give him a second-tier quotation in advance, 5 yuan?" Li opened his mouth and blew on a cup of hot chocolate milk.

Ni Houdao shook his head and raised two fingers.

Su Ting on the side exclaimed: "It's only 2 yuan, no way."

Ni Houdao almost spit out old blood, looked at her, and thought: Auntie, you got 4 in one lump sum, and Tan Guangyue’s album is a big hit, overwhelming the crowd, one of the three dark horses, 2 for a sale What do you think?

"Double digits, the highest price reported by performance companies is 11 yuan, generally 8 yuan, the second-tier top bid, and there are already more than 20 performances." Ni Houdao stared and said with an accent.

Su Ting was a little embarrassed to underestimate other people's worth by five times, stuck out her tongue, and said oh.

Ni Houdao turned his head to look at Li Kai, and said word by word: "Your quotation is not lower than Tan Guangyue."

Li Kai was surprised, and pointed to himself: "I only have one song, and there are three songs in commercial performances, who will invite me?"

"Other newcomers are like this, but you are an exception. There are not many shows, but there are four or five. The highest offer is 15, and it is only one song, but there is a requirement that it must be your commercial debut. If If it’s not the first show, it should be lower, but no matter how low it is, it’s 10 as a base.”

Ni Houdao handed over the two copies, and urged: "How about it, just treat it as a leisure trip, when you are in a good mood, and then pick one of your works and sing it. If you are in a bad mood, "Suddenly Miss You" It's over, easy, half of 15, and more than 7 in your pocket."

Li Kai glanced at it casually, then shook his head: "Forget it, let's follow the rules. The commercial performance will wait until I release the album. There is still one and a half months, and I have only finished half of the recording. Hurry up, the recording must be done before the 10th of next month." Finish."

Ni Houdao sighed, feeling a little pity, and the location of the commercial show is not far away, and it can be done in one day or two days, and the money is the same as picking up money for nothing.

However, Li Kai wasn't interested, and he didn't force it, so he let go of the commercial show: "The major award ceremonies are about to start next month, and the award ceremonies for the two rankings are the most important, so forget it if you don't accept the commercial show." , but from December 12st to January 31th, I think it is necessary for you to make a big appearance on TV to create momentum for yourself. As long as you nod, I will discuss with Mr. Qiao. City, preferably Guangzhou, can go there once.”

Li Kai was a little puzzled: "Whether you can win an award has something to do with whether you create momentum or not?"

Ni Houdao pondered: "There is no direct connection, but people in the industry generally do this, just like Zhao Chuanxiong, the chance of winning this year's Best Male Singer Award is very small, but during this time, he is still dangling on TV everywhere. There is Su Yaqing, who is a big hit for the Best Female Singer Award, and is one of the most frequently photographed singers recently, and there are some top-tier singers, whose recent appearance frequency is much higher than usual."

"The awards in the two awards ceremonies are evaluated based on comprehensive factors. Now that we have reached the sprint stage, it will definitely be beneficial to increase our popularity and influence."

Li Kai thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "I still don't want it, they are all famous, and I am a newcomer jumping up and down, it is not suitable."

Ni Houdao opened his mouth, and Li Kai said again: "Didn't you see some negative news in the recent entertainment newspaper? Since Liu Tianwang announced the release date, it was still a week before the Spring Festival, and his fans were already eager to move." , and even started shouting slogans.”

This time, he chose to release the film at the same time as Liu Tianwang. He had already expected that he would suffer from pressure from the media and unfriendly treatment from Liu Tianwang's fans.

This is a lesson learned from the earth in the previous life. In the early stage of Tan Zhang's hegemony in the 80s, Zhang fell into this situation.

At this time, what Li Kai has to do is not to find ways to create momentum for himself, nor is it to appeal to his fans to advance and retreat with him as before the war.

He is a newcomer, at most a new star, Liu Tianwang is like a bright moon in the sky, the stars compete with the moon, this concept itself is wrong.

The reason why he chose to be at the same time as Liu Tianwang is because his album has three genres, which is a bold attempt and challenge for the current domestic music scene.

He needs a strong opponent to bring him pressure, pressure is a kind of promotion, and he also needs a strong opponent to test gold.

Winning or losing is secondary.

Right now, he and Liu Tianwang are not at the same level. To use an inappropriate analogy, he is like a sub-adult lion, and Liu Tianwang is like a mature male lion.

Fighting a fight is not to compete for the status of the lion king, but to let oneself clearly understand the extent of one's fighting power, so as to promote future growth.

Therefore, what he has to do now is to keep silent, not to be disturbed by the outside world, to calm down and make the album well, so that every song in the album is his best singing!
It is impossible for Ni Houdao to know Li Kai's true thoughts, but he is a very down-to-earth person. After thinking about it, he thinks what Li Kai said is reasonable. Liu Tianwang has already set the release date of the film, and his fans have spontaneously released Li Kai. As an enemy, at this time, the more Li Kai is jumping around, the more hostile Liu Tianwang's fans will be to Li Kai.

If it is exaggerated by the bigger and cooler media, it may turn into a call to boycott Li Kai, which will have a negative impact on Li Kai's album sales.

Well, let's be more peaceful, who made Liu Tianwang so big that he can't be provoked, so he can only hide.

Ni Houdao said with a dry smile: "Then forget it, anyway, the major award ceremonies themselves are a kind of exposure."

Li opened his head and nodded. In his heart, the promotion period of the new album had already started from the major awards ceremonies.

"One more thing, do you still remember the movie "The Ten Year Itch"? It's your single as an episode."

Li was speechless, do you suspect that I have Alzheimer's disease?It's only been three months since I released my single.

"nonsense!"

Ni Houdao hesitated for a moment, then said: "The director of that film called me. "The Ten Year Itch" was not expensive, and I didn't expect it to be a big hit. In the end, the box office broke [-] million, which is a surprise. Thanks to you, after your single sold out in the first week, the promotion of "The Ten Year Itch" included your single, which greatly boosted the box office."

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "He will come to Shenzhen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and he wants to invite you to have a meal together, thank you in person, and will also bring a friend, who is also a director. This costume movie seems to be an adaptation of Mr. Jinyong's masterpiece. I understand that it is for the theme song. This costume movie is almost finished and it will be released before the Spring Festival. I think this is also a kind of publicity for your album. Of course, if you can’t reach an agreement in the end, you should know another friend, the film and television circles and the music circle are interconnected and often cooperate.”

"Then you can arrange it." Li Kai agreed very readily. He is a person who likes to make more friends and less enemies. Besides, since Ni Houdao opened his mouth, he will definitely give him some face.

"Okay." Ni Houdao stretched his waist. Because of his age, his bones were crackling after sitting for a long time. He smiled wryly: "Li Kai, you should consider the agent. Now the agent's work is a little bit of Su Ting's responsibility." Now, more than half of it is on me, I still have to work on your album recording, I am too old, I can't keep up with energy."

"Broker, why don't you stop being a producer and change careers and become a manager?" Li Kai said half-jokingly. Ni Houdao has enough experience and qualifications, but he is a bit conservative and not too shameless. He is the best candidate, but if Ni Houdao really has the heart, it is not impossible. After getting along with him during this period of time, he still recognizes Ni Houdao's character.

Ni Houdao, however, shook his head: "I want to be an agent, I have been in the industry for almost ten years, and I have changed my career long ago. I don't like complicated interpersonal relationships. I just want to be a producer with peace of mind."

Li Kai didn't force it, and glanced at Su Ting out of the corner of his eye. Su Ting is also a suitable candidate, and his ability can be cultivated slowly. The most important point of the agent is to be trustworthy.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a broker certificate, and it takes at least half a year to pass the exam.

Ni Houdao saw Li's face open and thoughtful, and at the moment, he slapped his mouth: "You are not worried about the selection of agents, are you? I'm staring at you and Tan Guangyue, especially you, as long as they have their eyes on one, they only need to give the lowest five points, and they can take the lead."

Li burst into laughter: "Is it that exaggerated?"

"Nonsense, believe it or not, let me put it out, Li Kai is not going to wait until after the album, and now plans to appoint a manager, not to mention ten or ten, at least nine out of ten, within half an hour, they will Pack it up, come here to report in the best condition, stand in a row, declare your family name, take your pick, you are now a chicken dog ascending to heaven alone, who would not want to fly with you!"

Ni Houdao spit and waved to the wall, which reminded Li Kai involuntarily of the KTV beauty pageant.

"Let's forget it. After we have agreed to release the album, we must be trustworthy in life." Li Kai shook his head helplessly, took a few breaths, and drank a small half cup of hot chocolate in one gulp.
