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

Chapter 143 Popularity
Gao Dongliang has a good appearance and a calm temperament. He is not yet 30 years old, and he looks a bit mature.

The assistant to the general manager is not a secretary. The administrative level in the company is comparable to the deputy director of the department, and he is a solid senior in the company.

Because of Mr. Ren's trust, even if the deputy general manager met him, he would be polite.

After the two sat down side by side, Gao Dongliang raised his hand and called the stewardess, and brought Li Kai a bottle of drink, while he ordered a cup of coffee.

Gao Dongliang slowly added sugar, milk, and then stirred evenly with a wooden spoon. The whole process took a minute, and then he picked it up and blew it, and took a sip: "Li Kai, you are nominated for seven items in both rankings this time. How many awards do you think you will get in the end?"

Li spread his hands: "I can't estimate, I have been in the circle for less than half a year, and I have never attended an award ceremony."

Gao Dongliang smiled reservedly, and said: "Last year's Billboard awards ceremony, Time Records was shortlisted in four categories and won two awards in the end. A Cantonese song by Liu Guang was ranked tenth in the top ten classics, and SHF won the most popular group. prize."

"At the Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, there were also four finalists, and finally won one award, and SHF won the most popular group award."

Speaking of this, he sighed inexplicably: "SHF is flying solo, and the three of Chaoyang's records are released in succession. Originally, they wanted to have an interactive effect. In the end, the sales were not satisfactory, and the same is true for Streamer."

After a pause, he turned his face and said: "Li Kai, do you still remember that when you released your first single, people were out of town to promote it. I called you and mentioned that I wanted you to write four songs?"

Li opened his head and nodded.

"To tell you the truth, those four songs were originally intended for the three of Chaoyang and Liu Guang."

Gao Dongliang's tone slowed down a bit: "I think, if you use your song as the title of the album, the sales won't be so bleak."

Li Kai didn't answer, picked up the drink and took a sip.

Gao Dongliang stared at Li Kai for a while, then suddenly said: "Li Kai, write a song for each of the four of them."

Li raised his eyebrows, and before he could say anything, Gao Dongliang continued: "I know, you and Chaoyang were a little unhappy before, and you and Fan Xing also had a few quarrels about the recording studio. Everyone is young, so it's inevitable Will be competitive, in my opinion, these are small conflicts, not impossible to resolve, what do you think?"

Li Kai felt a hint of coercion, thought for a while, and said tactfully: "Assistant Gao, writing a song requires inspiration."

Gao Dongliang obviously interrupted him, but his tone was calm, as if he was following along: "Inspiration can be found slowly, as long as you have the heart, I will call Chaoyang and the three tonight, let's have a meal together and have a drink." Drunk all grievances."

At this point, Li Kai knew that he couldn't avoid it, he had to give a correct sentence, took another sip of his drink, and said slowly: "Assistant Gao, you are right, it is not a conflict that cannot be resolved, so there is no need to eat, In the future, it will be fine if the water enters the river and does not violate the river."

The implication is, don't mess with me in the future, and I won't hold grudges, but if you want me to write songs for them, don't!
Gao Dongliang fell silent, he was mentally prepared to be rejected, but Li Kaizhen's face-to-face rejection still made him a little unhappy.

This is not giving him any face at all, no, Li Kai would not have imagined that he represents Mr. Ren, this is not giving Mr. Ren face!
However, his skill in nourishing Qi was not bad, he didn't show his unhappiness on his face, and he soon smiled regretfully, as if he didn't care.

Immediately, he changed the subject: "Li Kai, there is something I don't know, do you know?"

"what's up?"

"When you signed with Time Records, the company wanted the singer and songwriter to sign together. You insisted on refusing to do so. In the end, the company complied with your wishes. Among them, Joe is always the key factor."

"How to say?"

"You only released one song "Short Hair" at that time. Although it was very popular, it was difficult to get recognized with only one song. This is the industry rule in the industry, and only three songs can determine the status of a coffee."

Gao Dongliang paused, and there was admiration on his face: "Mr. Qiao knows people with her eyes. She is very optimistic about you. She offered to propose that in the next year, with her original singers and you, if you can't hand over Two platinum albums, or one double platinum record, [-]% of her shares will be returned to the company, [-]% of the shares will be cancelled, and she will take the blame and resign!"

Li opened his eyes wide in surprise, and his pupils shrank slightly. Gao Dongliang saw it, and a smile flashed in the depths of his pupils.

Afterwards, they chatted a few more casually, seeing Gao Dongliang holding up a magazine, Li Kai apologized and returned to his seat.

That night, everyone from Time Records checked into the Steway Hotel.

Take a full day off the next day.

On January 1, after the collective lunch, the deputy general manager who led the team called everyone to have a short meeting.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the first group of entourage went to the TV station theater in Shanghai.

At four o'clock, Li Kai and others also set off.

The annual award ceremony of the Billboard is held in the Grand Theater of Shanghai TV Station, which can accommodate more than 8 spectators.

Among them, 7 tickets were sold to the outside world, and they were sold out a few days ago.

The awards ceremony didn't start until seven o'clock in the evening, and at dusk, the outside of the theater was already full of people.

In the hands of scalpers, the original price of 380 tickets was doubled, and the infield, the position closest to the singer's area, was copied three times higher.

One banner after another, with different slogans, floated above the crowd.

The cold wind in winter failed to dissipate the enthusiasm of the fans, the crowd was full of voices, and it was a scene of enthusiasm.

After [-]:[-], the ticket gates were released, and fans began to enter the venue one after another. The singers who had already entered the venue through the exclusive channel were also in the background at this time, making final preparations.

06: 30.

Singers from various record companies walked out from the side of the stage one by one, and went to the singer area while waving.

Suddenly, bursts of cheers, applause, and screams rang out from the scene.

According to the usual practice, the appearance goes smoothly according to the record company's official ranking from low to high.

Time Records ranks at the forefront of the front line, second only to Daishi Records and New Power Records, and is the eighth from the bottom.

Tan Guangyue rubbed her hands, a little nervous and a little excited, Li Kai looked at his emotional state and couldn't help laughing: "Calm down, calm down, I heard that people will lose control when their emotions are too high."

Tan Guangyue's head was full of black lines.

Ning Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, and changed the topic in time: "Li Kai, have you received the news? How many awards did you win in last night's trend list?"

The trend list, which has some influence in the southern part of China, held an awards ceremony in Guangzhou last night.

"4."

Early this morning, Su Ting called him to report, the Best Newcomer Lyricist Award, the Best Newcomer Composer Award, the Top Ten Hottest Songs, and the Best Newcomer Male Singer Award.

A strange color flashed in Ning Lan's eyes: "Is there anyone who has won more awards than you?"

Li shook his head openly. Su Ting said that there were several winners of three awards, including Xu Qiaoling, and he was the only one who won four awards.

"I wasn't even shortlisted. You won four. I was shortlisted for two awards in the Billboard, and you were shortlisted for seven. According to this calculation, you should be able to win six awards."

Hearing what Ning Lan said, Li rolled his eyes, six, daydreaming!

The two awards for best lyric and composition are definitely not for him, they are just shortlisted, which is of the same nature as Ning Lan's Golden Award.

Tan Guangyue interjected: "Even if you don't get 6 prizes, it's likely to be the one with the most prizes tonight."

Just as he was speaking, there was a sudden burst of fierce cheers at the scene, which was much higher in decibels than before.

"It's Wu Qiyuan from Shuteng Records."

Ning Lan said: "Actually, from the reaction of the fans at the scene, we can roughly see the popularity of a singer. Wu Qiyuan is more popular than the previous singers, not a little bit higher."

On this point, Ni Houdao has already told Li Kai that the audience tickets at the award ceremony are all for sale, and they are not cheap. The lowest price is 380, which is 150 higher than the general concert ticket, and the highest ticket price is 2280. [-]% higher than the average concert.

Unless the economic conditions are particularly favorable, most of the people who buy tickets to come to the scene are die-hard fans among the fans.

"Li Kai, your popularity will definitely not be weaker than that of Wu Qiyuan." Tan Guangyue curled her lips and said, because the companies were deadly rivals, it also made him not too interested in the singers under Shuteng Records.

As soon as these words came out, the three of SHF gathered at the side showed snorting expressions almost at the same time, Chaoyang and Chenguang didn't make a sound, Fan Xing sneered and said, "I don't know anything!"

Tan Guangyue's eyes turned cold, and she turned her head to look over. Fan Xing met his gaze and did not back down at all.

"Stupid!" In such an occasion, hands-on actions would definitely not work, but Tan Guangyue didn't intend to bear it, so she just cursed back.

Just as Fan Xing was about to retort, Chaoyang pulled him and said flatly: "Facts speak louder than words, if you are ignorant, who is a fool, you will know later."

Tan Guangyue's face was a little embarrassed, Li Kai patted him, looked at Chaoyang with a smile and said, "Did you have the right to come to this kind of place in the first year of your debut?"

Chaoyang choked.

Li Kai continued: "Guangyue and I are both newcomers, this time we come to see the world, we are familiar with each other once."

As he said that, he changed the topic: "SHF is flying solo. This is the last time for SHF to participate. Cherish it. Maybe you won't have the chance to come again in the future. No matter how knowledgeable you are, it's useless."

Chaoyang was choked again, his face turned red, and Fan Xing and Chen Guang's faces were also ugly.

Li Kai is punishing his heart, killing without blood!

SHF broke up, and the first album of the three was full of expectations. As a result, not only did their own expectations fail, but the company was also greatly disappointed.

Next, the future of the three of them is worrying. It's not that they just knocked off the dust, but that once a person stands on a high place, and then falls down, the state of mind, people who have not personally experienced it can't understand!

Li Kai pointed out the heaviest heart disease in their hearts.

"Li Kai, no matter what, today, at this moment, I, SHF, still have the qualifications, and SHF's popularity is still steadily surpassing yours." Fan Xing's words were somewhat self-deceiving, but he couldn't hold back.

"Don't feel too good about yourself." Tan Guangyue sneered, just as she was about to fight back, at this moment, Deputy Director Luo strode over and waved to signal that it was almost his turn.

Li Kai and the six arrived at the exit. After a while, the organizer staff in front made a gesture to enter the arena. All six of them smiled the most suitable smiles and walked into the arena at a leisurely pace.

boom!
And with the appearance of Li Kai's six people, an eruption suddenly broke out in the venue!

SHF, Chaoyang, and Tan Guangyue shouted one after another, but they were quickly suppressed by the other two shouts.

Those two shouts belonged to Ning Lan and Li Kai.

The two pieces of shouts formed a brief confrontation, and then the piece belonging to Ning Lan was also suppressed.

Li Kai was the only one left, at least [-] fans at the scene, not in unison, but shouting Li Kai's name at the top of their lungs, screaming endlessly.

While waving her hand, Ning Lan turned her wonderful eyes towards the auditorium, and saw three long banners.

"Open your eyes, I miss you so much all of a sudden!"

"Wait open, we really love you!"

"Wait open, we will always support you!"

The words on the three banners are big, and the heads of at least ten people pass across them.

Li Kai didn't expect that his popularity would be so high. So far, he has only released a single, and he has never sung on the screen.

Chaoyang and the three hated each other in their hearts, they only felt their faces were hot, and even the smiles they forced to maintain became a little stiff before they knew it.

At this time, no matter how unwilling and unconvinced they are, they still have to face the reality that Li Kai's popularity is already higher than theirs, not one of them, but SHF, not even a little bit higher.

No, is Ning Lan not as popular as Li Kai?

Tan Guangyue was elated, and even the smile on his face became a little more vivid, he deliberately took a half step, and glanced at Chaoyang from the corner of his eyes, the provocative eyes clearly said: Who is ignorant, who is an idiot?
All the way to the singer's area to sit down, the cheers gradually died down.

"Now you should know that your popularity is far higher than you imagined. "Suddenly Miss You" has sold nearly 160 million copies so far, breaking records one after another. Do you think these are all fake?"

Ning Lan shook her head lightly, with a hint of exclamation in her tone, she knew that Li Kai was very popular, otherwise the performer would not have quoted 10 yuan, and the first show even went as high as 15 yuan.

This is a song!
But she didn't expect that Li Kai's popularity would be so high. She had a faint feeling that she was no worse than a top-ranking person.

Li Kai smiled, without showing too much emotion on his face, but in his heart was a word of coolness, which was still cool like never before!

For a singer who truly loves music, the greatest achievement is the love of fans.

Next, the appearance of Daishi Records also set off a small climax, because Xu Qiaoling, a super newcomer in the singer lineup, has already been awarded the title of inspirational queen.

After that, it was the turn of the five giants to play.

In every lineup, there is at least one first-line top player.

The scene was like a boiling oil pan, waves of cheers, shouts, and screams seemed endless.

And as the singers under Nisso Records finally entered and took their seats, the scene finally fell silent.

The stage lights were dazzling, and accompanied by a dynamic melody, a light show lasted for more than three minutes. Then, the curtain covering the stage was slowly raised, and after a while, the stage was full of brilliance.

There are two anchors on the entertainment channel of Shanghai TV Station. The male is Cheng Feng, who is wearing a well-fitting Chinese tunic suit, and the female is Zhang Qin, who is wearing a set of fragrant cheongsam. The two are standing in the center of the stage. , announced the official start of the No.11 Billboard Awards Ceremony.
