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

Chapter 146 Rejected
The awards ceremony for the two charts, the annual domestic music event, has always been a green leaf for first-line record companies, and a red flower for giant record companies.

This time, however, the foil's relationship to the protagonist has changed.

Breaking this pattern are two new singers.

Li Kai, Xu Qiaoling.

Li Kai won four awards alone, creating a record for the most awards for a single singer at the Billboard Awards Ceremony. Previously, a singer won at most three awards, and only appeared three times.

In addition, among the top ten classics, five are Li Kai's works, which is another record, and the weight of this record is even heavier than the individual award record.

The top ten classics represent the vane of the pop music scene.

Xu Qiaoling won three awards.

At the same time, it became the only singer whose two songs were listed in the top ten classics at the same time. It only appeared four times in the history of Fengyun Billboard, and this time it was the fifth time.

As a rookie, Xu Qiaoling is the only one.

And the companies of the two, Time Records and Daishi Records, have changed from green leaves to red flowers, especially Time Records, which has become the most beautiful flower.

Li Kai has four awards, Tan Guangyue, Ning Lan, and SHF each have one award.

A single record company won seven awards in one Billboard awards ceremony, which is second only to Ninety Niso's eight and Ninety Three Wage's eight.

Back to the hotel, almost eleven o'clock.

Everyone at Time Records was tireless, and held a small celebration party in the small banquet hall No. [-].

The deputy general manager who led the team took the initiative to toast Li Kai, and praised him without hesitation, saying that the most correct decision the company made last year was to sign Li Kai, the number one newcomer in the music scene.

It was Li Kai who brought unprecedented honor and glory to the company.

The celebration party was held past midnight, and everyone dispersed.

Su Ting represented Li Kai in other award ceremonies. This time it was Ni Houdao who accompanied Li Kai. The two walked out of the banquet hall talking and laughing. Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind: "Li Kai."

Li Kai stopped and turned around, only to see Chen Qian chasing up quickly, behind her was Chen Guang.

"Sister Qian, what's the matter?"

Now that Chen Qian is Chen Guang's manager, it is inappropriate to call him Secretary Chen.

Chen Qian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Chen Guang and I want to talk to you about something."

He specifically named Chen Guang.

Li opened his eyes and nodded, "Okay, there is a coffee shop on the second floor, let's sit there."

"I'm sleepy, my energy is not as good as you young people, go back to sleep." Ni Houdao said haha, waved his hands and left.

Cafe.

The three of Li Kai sat down at a round table against the wall, Li Kai ordered a glass of soda, and Chen Guang ordered two cups of coffee.

Chen Qian stirred the coffee with a silver spoon, lowered her eyes, and said slowly, "Li Kai, Chen Guang and I came to apologize to you."

Pausing for a few seconds, she didn't listen to Li Kai's answer, and she didn't raise her eyes to see Li Kai's expression, so she continued to talk about her late submission of Li Kai's album project information, her bad attitude towards Li Kai, and Chen Guang talked about what happened.

And expressed apology to Li Kai.

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chen Guang, and the latter said with difficulty: "Li Kai, I'm sorry, I, I never thought of deliberately targeting you, and I can't help myself."

Li Kai sighed lightly.

No emotion could be seen on Li Kai's face, Chen Qian was a little confused and gritted her teeth: "Li Kai, Chen Guang and I sincerely apologize to you."

Li nodded, and only mentioned the late submission of the album project approval materials: "Sister Qian, to tell you the truth, Mr. Qiao told me at the time that it was her work mistakes, which led to the release period of the first three weeks of December being rejected by SHF. Preemption, in fact, I have doubts in my heart. At that time, I had already entered the album recording period. Mr. Qiao, as the director of my album, is unlikely to make such a low-level mistake. Of course, I didn’t expect it to be because of you.”

After a pause, he shook his head: "Now that the matter is over, let him pass."

Chen Qian secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Kai didn't expressly accept the apology, or forgive, but it's over and it's over, which represents a similar attitude.

In this regard, she has been with Qiao Li for more than four years, and she still has some experience in dealing with all kinds of people.

At the negotiating table, no one likes to speak too clearly, as long as you understand what I mean.

Chen Qian changed the subject, chatted about the award ceremony, congratulated Li Kai, and then mentioned Chen Guang, saying that Chen Guang's solo album was not very good, and it had been on the market for more than five weeks before it was sold out. When it reaches 20 tickets, the performance company's quotation has already fallen below 5, and the lowest price is only 3. If this continues, the future is bleak.

Chen Guang's face was a bit embarrassed, but he didn't make a sound. He looked down at the coffee, as if he was attracted by some mysterious force in the coffee-colored liquid.

Li Kai also only listened while drinking.

Chen Qian saw herself singing a one-man show alone, and Chen Guang didn't know how to interject a sentence or two. She felt a little annoyed, and Li Kai also didn't answer, which made her feel a little powerless.

In the end, he had no choice but to clarify his purpose abruptly: "Li Kai, Chen Guang has now transferred to President Qiao, and has no competitive relationship with you. You, can you write a song for Chen Guang, just one."

The song "Short Hair" won the unknown Xu Qiaoling, and the song "Girl Waving Wings" made Xu Qiaoling go a step further and became the little queen.

A song "I hope people will last forever" "resurrected" Zhun Tianhou, who was obviously dead.

With the song "Dilemma" and "Your Eyes Betray Your Heart", Tan Guangyue, who barely passed the water test singles and only got the lowest standard for album project approval, can be said to be the most inconspicuous newcomer in the company. Jump into the second line.

Another song "A Woman Easily Injured" made He Jingyun famous, and even the five giants rushed to snatch people regardless of their reserve!

There are vivid examples here. Among the singers in the company, one counts as one, who is not jealous, but few people open their mouths to Li Kai. There were no less than twenty phone calls, all of which were answered by Su Ting, who declined without exception. Moreover, when SHF's lies were exposed, various entertainment newspaper reports mentioned that Li Kai only wrote songs for friends he recognized. .

Li Kai's attitude couldn't be more obvious.

Before being recognized as a friend by Li Kai, if anyone asks for it, nine out of ten will be rejected, so why bother yourself?

In addition, many singers themselves and their managers turned to find Qiao Li, but were also rejected by Qiao Li one by one, and Qiao Li's attitude was also very clear.

It's Li Kai and Qiao Li, two checkpoints, let everyone put their minds aside for now.
The reason why Chen Qian brought it up was that, firstly, Chenguang's situation was really bad. As Chenguang's agent, and her relationship with Chenguang, she had to actively fight for Chenguang's future, both public and private. She thought it was easier for her to pass these two tests than others.

Li Jian looked at her, seemed a little surprised, then looked at Chen Guang, and said: "Sister Qian, let's talk about it later."

Chen Qian was stunned for a moment, and she will talk about it later. Even a fool would understand that this was a refusal. She was a little impatient, and opened her mouth slightly: "Li opens."

Li Kai interrupted her unceremoniously: "Sister Qian, do you know that announcing the release time of the film to the outside world, and then reneging on her promise and being forced to postpone it, how much impact will this have on a singer's reputation? Before I announce the new release date , I think you have seen those media reports."

After a pause, let out a sigh of relief: "This is not a trivial matter that you scold me or say an apology. I will let it go after I say it. It is for Mr. Qiao's sake. I don't care about the previous things. Now, we will still be colleagues in the future, and the scene will still be harmonious, but that's all."

After finishing speaking, he drank the drink in one breath and smiled apologetically: "I'm tired, I'll go up and rest first."

After Li Kai left, Chen Guang let out a sigh of relief in his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "I just said, if you don't ask him, [-]% of them will be bounced back, you are rushing up by yourself."

Chen Qian shook her face and said, "It's not because of your future. You sigh all day long, regretting this and that, saying that you will soon lose your second line."

SHF won the award tonight, but this not only did not let Chen Guang regain his previous arrogance, but it became a blow that the glory was about to end. He sighed and said dejectedly: "I'm just telling the truth, the invitation from the show business It’s quite a lot, but you’ve also seen the quotations. There are only two for 5 yuan, and it’s still last month. This month, half of them are at the beginning of 4 and half of them are at the beginning of 3. This is the effect of the continued sluggish sales of albums. , the album can’t be sold at all, and entering the off-season of commercial performances, the quotation may drop below 3.”

A flash of hatred flashed in Chen Qian's eyes. The past was full of vigor and confidence, but now
"I'll call Sister Li tomorrow morning. It's impossible for Li Kai not to give Sister Li face." Taking a deep breath, Chen Qian showed unwillingness and persistence on her face. Before Chen Guang could say anything else, she got up and waved: "Go!" Bar."

Chen Qian slept for three or four hours a night.

Early the next morning, I called Qiao Li and told about the apology to Li Kai last night, and about her request that Li Kai write a song for Chen Guang but was rejected, and then Said: "Sister Li, you know the current situation of Chenguang. It is said to be second-tier, but the price of the performer drops once a week, and it is already close to the bottom of the second-tier."

On the other end, Qiao Li listened patiently, and when she came to an end, she said: "The contract signed by Chen Guang and the company is based on the condition that the second-tier top class, even if one album fails, at least there is still a chance for another album, um, At the earliest, we have to wait for this album to be sold for more than three months, that is, after the year before we can consider the album project, and then I can help him make an appointment with Wang Yongming."

Wang Yongming is a top-ranking small coffee in the circle, and his work level is comparable to that of a medium coffee. Among Qiao Li's connections, he is the highest-level songwriter.

Chen Qian said bitterly: "Sister Li, Teacher Wang's song is good, but there is no guarantee that Chen Guang will turn over."

Qiao Li seemed to laugh: "Even if the big names in the circle are not a good song, there will be mistakes. No one can guarantee this. Well, the company has a cooperative relationship with two Chinese cafes in the circle. At that time, I will fight for Chen Guang and try to win the next one."

Perhaps because she was familiar with Qiao Li, Chen Qian didn't pay attention to Qiao Li's implication, and immediately said: "Li is open, at least the seven songs he has released so far, the first one is big fire, sister Li, you can Help me once, you have never opened your mouth to Li Kai, only once, he will definitely not refuse."

Chen Qian knew Li Kai's temperament a little bit, she was very protective of those around her, and she was not stingy with the friends she recognized, as you can see from Tan Guangyue, two songs!And I heard that Ning Lan's new album has entered the recording period, and Li Kai has also included two title songs.

As a leader, Qiao Li couldn't get along with Li Kai like Tan Guangyue or even Ning Lan, but Chen Qian knew Qiao Li's defense of Li Kai best. Li Kai also made it clear yesterday that it was for Qiao Li's sake Only then did he not care about the past. Obviously, he still respected Qiao Li a lot.

Qiao Li opened her mouth one hundred and one times, Li Kai didn't say 100%, at least [-]% to [-]% would give Qiao Li face.

Qiao Li fell silent for a while, before saying, "Chen Qian, I can't say that."

"Miss Li."

Qiao Li said in a condensed voice: "If it's just your bad attitude towards him a few times, including that you used my name to try to ask him to make an appointment for a song, you deliberately didn't inform him, which led to the conflict in the No. 1 recording studio, and even Chen Guang I lied to the media and was exposed by him, if it’s just these things, I won’t let you and Chen Guang apologize to him, but I will act as a middleman to mediate the conflict between you.”

"The reason why I didn't do that is because there is still the matter of postponing the release of the film. Even I am not sure. He will forgive you. If I don't get his forgiveness, maybe I can only find a way to adjust Chenguang again." Go under the other two deputy directors."

Chen Qian was startled suddenly, her face turned pale, Qiao Li paused for a moment, and continued, her tone was a little more severe: "The posting of the video is delayed, let's put it lightly, it will damage Li Kai's reputation for a while, let's say it seriously. Yes, this is blocking his future."

"Chen Qian, I can forgive you for my relationship with you, but I am me, and I cannot decide whether to forgive you for Li Kai, do you understand?"

Chen Qian was shocked, her whole face turned pale, blocking someone's future, it was like killing one's father and taking one's wife.

She is not a student in an ivory tower. She has graduated nearly six years ago and has been in the industry for nearly five years. Of course, she understands how much enmity is blocking someone's future. Between companies, Time Records and Shuteng Records have become deadly rivals. To block her future, she has changed three companies successively, and she has seen no less than five cases where friends became sworn enemies because of future competition.

In an instant, she woke up as if struck by lightning, and realized that she was a little too naive.

What Li Kai said was over, it was over, not the usual implicitness on the negotiating table, but he did not accept the apology, nor did he forgive, but just as Li Kai said, for Qiao Li's sake, he no longer cares about it.

"Since he said he doesn't care about the past, then it's fine. You are Chen Guang's manager now. It's not wrong to fight for his future, but let Li Kai write songs, don't think about it. Chen Guang's next album, I will try my best to fight for him.”

Qiao Li's tone slowed down. She really didn't want to speak too seriously about the secretary who accompanied her to change jobs and followed her for four years, but seeing Chen Qian still didn't realize it, she could only speak plainly. .

"I understand, thank you, Miss Li." Chen Qian responded in a low voice, hung up the phone, she sat on the edge of the bed blankly, after an unknown amount of time, Chen Guang knocked on the door and asked her to have breakfast together.

She got up and went to open the door, Chen Guang looked at her face and said in surprise: "What's wrong with you, you look so ugly, are you sick?"

As she spoke, she pressed her palm to her forehead. Chen Qian didn't stop her, she fixedly looked at the concern in his eyes, his eyes were a bit complicated, and after a while, she shook her head lightly: "I'm fine, let's go."
