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

Chapter 156 The Norwegian Forest

that night.

Li Kai had dinner with Shen Guanchang.

Being defrauded of 8 yuan and being beaten twice, Shen Guanchang seemed to have changed a bit.

A week after the rent was settled, he found a job as a property security guard. After a month, he went to help out at the night market in the university city, which was equivalent to working two jobs.

The monthly income is 2200 yuan, which is higher than the average salary in Shenzhen.

Hard work is hard work, but you can bear it at a young age.

Li Kai thinks that it is good for him to do this. He will experience the difficulty of life for a few months and half a year first, and if he has the opportunity, he will naturally pull it up.

Shen Guanchang is his cousin, and he is related by blood.

During the meal, Li Kai also talked about his situation, that he would not go back during the Chinese New Year, and in the next month or so, he would go back to Shenzhen City once or twice at most, and basically he would not be there.

When paying the bill, Li Kai handed over 5 yuan to Shen Guanchang, which was the New Year's money for everyone. Grandpa, grandmother, Shen Guanchang's little cousin, Li Ran, each had 1 yuan.

As for the parents' generation, it's not his turn to be a junior to give lucky money.

After dinner, Shen Guanchang had to go to the night market. After the two parted, Li Kai went to meet Xue Bing and Xiaopang again.

After playing billiards and eating supper, it was almost midnight before returning to the dormitory.

The next day, ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Kai, Su Ting, Qiao Li, plus a security guard and a driver, the five met at the company, and then the driver drove to the train station.

Ni Houdao had no companions, so he set off for the capital early in the morning.

On the capital side, Ni Houdao has some connections. In the domestic record market, the capital accounts for nearly [-]% of the market share, which is the top priority.

Therefore, during the Spring Festival, I want to fight for Li Kai to have one more chance to sing on the stage of the Beijing TV station's cultural evening.

At 11:30, the five of them arrived at the train station, found a fast food restaurant for lunch, and boarded the train bound for Jiang Province at [-]:[-].

After more than five hours of driving, I took a taxi to the hotel after leaving the station, and the sky was already dark.

The dinner was a hotel buffet, the driver and security went to another table, and Li Kai shared a table with three.

"Seven days of pre-heating promotion, a total of three places, I have already contacted Jiang Province Entertainment Channel for an interview tomorrow, and the other party basically agrees that you will sing a song live on the show, and I will go over to finalize it tomorrow during the day. This is your new album. The first show is very important, I suggest you choose the second main show "Heart Like a Knife"."

Qiao Li's appetite is smaller than Su Ting's, so she stopped eating after a while, sipping on a glass of drink, and said in a cautious tone: "If the response is good, I will broadcast live TV and radio programs later, and the chances of winning live singing will be much greater , if the response is poor"

I didn't go on, but the meaning was very clear, and the response was poor, so I could only promote it in a regular manner, that is, the nature of the interview.

In the entire music circle, the singers who dared to appear on TV and live broadcasts on the radio during the album promotion period were at most about [-]%.

No matter how powerful the singer is, the recording of the record will always go through post-production, it's just a matter of the degree of similarity to the original sound.

Singing on the spot, there is no chance to correct mistakes. If you sing well, the publicity effect is greater than expected, but if you sing poorly, it is tantamount to deducting points.

This is a double-edged sword.

The program group also has to consider its own quality issues.

Generally, singers below the second tier, and first-tier idol singers, the program team will not agree to this kind of request, because the risk is too high. If the live singing fails, the singer will be embarrassed, and the program will also be criticized, which will affect the ratings in the future.

Li Kai has only released one single so far, and the rating of singers in the circle is based on albums. Strictly speaking, he is still just a rookie.

However, as the rookie king selected by the two rankings, he has the popularity of not weak first-line, so he is naturally qualified to make this exception.

"Sister Li, there is no rule to promote the first and second titles of the album during the week of warm-up promotion." Li Kai swallowed the food in his mouth, and raised his eyes to ask.

During the promotion period of the album, Qiao Li was his temporary manager and asked him to change his name to Sister Li.

Qiao Li blinked: "You mean, you want to choose one of the eight non-main songs?"

"I want to sing "Norwegian Forest"." Li Kai nodded. In his previous life on Earth, Wu Bai was known as the king of the scene. Every concert, "Norwegian Forest" can cause a chorus of fans.

In addition to Wu Bai's own strength, it is also a key point that this song suits the atmosphere of the scene.

Qiao Li narrowed her pupils.

Of the remaining eight songs, seven love songs, only this one is rock and roll.

"Are you pure-hearted?" Qiao Li's teeth were itching a little, she didn't believe it, Li Kai would not understand, she deliberately ordered "Heart Like a Knife" instead of stopping first.

The first hit "Qilixiang" is Chinese style, not the mainstream of the current music scene. Rock can't be said to be less popular than Chinese style, but it has an additional "outdated" label.

Rock and roll was very popular for a while, but it went into decline. The risk of trying is greater than being unpopular.

Li opened his eyes for a moment, grabbed a raw pear, gnawed on it and said, "Sister Li, Su Ting, do you know why I chose to release the film a week before the Spring Festival?"

"Why?" Qiao Li's eyes lit up. With her wisdom, she didn't even think about it. The only two answers that she can barely explain are, first, to justify her postponement of the film. I want to challenge the super line.

But she always felt that it was more than that.

On the side, Su Ting turned her head to look, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Because, in the past two years, Liu Mingliang released the film a week before the Spring Festival, and there is a high probability that it will still be the same this year."

Hearing this answer, Qiao Li became less interested, and shook her head lightly: "With your current popularity, it is not wise to challenge the top-tier ones. I still retain my original point of view. You should find a top-tier one to release films at the same time."

Li Kai also shook his head: "I don't want to challenge the super line, but I want to challenge myself."

After a pause, he tapped his fingers on the table: "This album of mine is a mixture of three genres, especially the first title is not lyrical slow songs. I need a strong opponent to put pressure on me and help me test for gold at the same time."

Qiao Li's face was moved, and Su Ting was a little slower to react, and she was equally moved.

Li Kai looked at the expressions of the two women, and his tone was slow but firm: "The three styles of music may seem a little risky to you, but they are not a bright spot. During the promotion period, I just want to make the most of this bright spot." Enlarge it as much as possible, and give the public a refreshing experience.”

Now that it's time to prepare for the battle, reveal the true purpose of releasing the film at the same time as Liu Mingliang, so as to dispel the doubts in the hearts of the two women. Only in this way can they support him wholeheartedly!

"I understand, then it's up to you." Qiao Li's eyes narrowed, and she nodded slightly. Since Li Kai had a clear goal, as a manager, she could only implement it resolutely.

In addition, Li Kai's frank confession also touched her heart very much, and she faintly gave birth to more expectations.

Su Ting just pursed her lips and didn't say anything, because she didn't need it, and she would unconditionally support any decision Li Kai made.

the next day.

Qiao Li left the hotel early in the morning and went to the TV station to communicate all morning. When she returned to the hotel, it was already past meal time, and she talked to Li Kai about the program arrangement while eating instant noodles.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the group set off.

Sitting in a rented commercial vehicle, it took more than half an hour to drive to the TV station.

Take a short break, and at 07:30, the interview program begins.

The hostess was named Lu Tian, ​​she was young, beautiful, cheerful and lively, and she just said, "I finally met my idol."

Even Li Kai, an old bird in a coat, felt quite embarrassed, and finally didn't blush.

Nearly a hundred spectators below burst into laughter.

These hundred audience members were not extras, but Li Kai's fans. It is not clear how they were found. It is said that the list provided by the two lists.

The questions and answers that followed were all relatively light topics and did not touch sensitive topics.

The total length of the show was half an hour, and Lu Tian controlled the time. After about 10 minutes, Li Kai's new album was mentioned, and Li Kai gave a general introduction. Afterwards, Lu Tian suggested that it is possible to sing a song live.

Li Kai responded and picked up the guitar that had been prepared in advance.

"A piece of "Norwegian Forest" is given to the friends present and the friends in front of the TV." Li Kai sat in his seat without getting up, and said to the microphone with a smile.

There was applause.

"I thought this song was for me?" Maybe because she felt that the atmosphere was not lively enough before, Lu Tian made a timely joke and made a tasteful expression.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Li opened his eyes to look at her, and said cooperatively, "I'm not ashamed to say."

The booing sounded louder.

When the voice subsided, Li Kai meditated again, then moved the arc, and after a prelude, he sang: "Let me take your heart off, try to melt it slowly, and see if I am still in your heart." Perfect and flawless, do you still care about me a little bit, still love me and cannot extricate yourself, is there a place in your heart that I have never been to?"

"Norwegian Forest" is a song full of poignant feelings, the lyrics are delicate and touching, and people will feel boundless emotions in their hearts when they listen to it.

No matter how close people are, there will always be a forest in the heart that others cannot enter. There is a pure land in the deepest part of everyone's heart.

And Li Kai's voice was full of vicissitudes and warmth, giving people a kind of warm comfort. When he sang the last line: "It's just the shackles in my heart, how can I get rid of it."

It is even more impressive!

The singing fell, and the scene was silent.

Li Kai glanced at it, not surprised at all, this is not a passionate song, but a song that needs to be savored slowly, and then you will feel endless aftertaste.

According to the public's perception, rock and roll should be extremely impactful, giving people a kind of shock in the audition, which is a huge misunderstanding.

Rock and roll can also be delicate, affectionate, and go deep into people's souls.

Li Kai glanced at Lu Tian again, only to see that the latter's eyes were a little blurred, as if he was absorbed in listening.

Feeling Li Kai's gaze, Lu Tian woke up suddenly, her fair face flushed a little, but she reacted quickly enough to cover it up with a slight smile.

Just as he was about to speak, some delayed applause rang out.

Li opened his eyes and glanced again, and what he saw were excited faces with unfinished thoughts.

He smiled and said, "Thank you everyone."

"Thank you, too, for bringing us such a touching song. The Norwegian forest is also a forest in each of us." Lu Tiantiannuo's voice carried a touch of emotion.

Half an hour after the interview, the audience flocked to the edge of the stage and asked Li Kai to sign for them.

Li Kai didn't shirk, and spent nearly half an hour, not only signing their names one by one, but also shaking hands with them one by one.

The 16 years of his career as an underground singer in his previous life made Li Kai deeply understand the value of fans, without them, you are nothing.

Treating fans well, even doting on fans, is treating their parents well, pampering their parents, as it should be!

"Can you not only sign me, but also write me a paragraph?" After Li Kai satisfied the fans, Lu Tian also came up, holding a beautiful notepad, and there was a touch of love in her watery eyes. expect.

Li opened his eyes and said with a smile, "What should I write?"

"Well, words of blessing."

Li Kai thought for a while and wrote down: May the Norwegian forest in your heart always have a pure lake and peaceful air, and finally signed his name.

The next day, noon.

Li Kai and his party checked out and set off for Ontario.

Before boarding the train, Qiao Li went to the newsstand to buy all of today's entertainment newspapers.

As soon as he got in the car, he flipped over quickly.

Li Kai guessed something, and said with a smile: "Sister Li, I only went on TV once, and it was a local station, how can I react so quickly."

"If the media were that slow, they would have shut down a long time ago."

Qiao Li glanced while talking, and after a while, she took out one and put it in front of him: "Look for yourself."

Li opened it up and took a look, there really was it, title: Newcomer Wang Yi's song "Norwegian Forest", blowing the spring breeze of rock and roll.

"It's too flattering." Li Kai took a closer look, and couldn't help but yell, all praises, and the evaluation is very high, which is quite a bit of a fashion vane.

Qiao Li took out two more newspapers, which also had related reports, which were also a compliment.

Su Ting also watched it, and was a little excited: "Sister Li, this shows that brother Zhang's attempt was very successful."

Qiao Li looked at her, then at Li Kai: "It's hard to say now."

After hesitating for a while, he continued: "You have to be mentally prepared. Many people will applaud your attempt this time, and at the same time, even more people will crush you."

Li looked like he didn't care. Of course he was mentally prepared for this, and he made a breakthrough attempt. There were always mixed praise and criticism, and it was not surprising that the criticism would definitely exceed the praise.

In the end, it's sales that matter.

Su Ting blinked and said, "Sister Li, we all listened to Brother Zhang's live performance last night. It's really good. You can tell by the audience's reaction."

Qiao Li did not deny it: "That's right, I communicated with the TV station in advance, the audience was not invited for the effect of the program, they were all Li Kai's fans, their reaction is enough to represent the affirmation of this song"

There was a pause, and then the topic changed: "However, this is a rock song, and the current pop music, lyrical slow songs are the absolute mainstream. If Li Kai's album is a big hit, it will bring a huge impact to the current pop music scene." Impact, and even break the pattern."

Qiao Li originally wanted to speak more deeply, but on second thought, forget it, if she speaks too deeply, it will only add psychological burden to Li Kaiping.

At around [-] o'clock that night, Li Kai and his group arrived in Ontario, and stayed in a hotel to rest overnight. The next day, Qiao Li still went to the radio station to communicate, and at night Li Kai had a live broadcast.

This time, he changed the song "Your Backpack".

Rock is suitable for scenes with pictures, and the song "Your Backpack" is a narrative love song with a touch of sentimentality. It only needs sound to penetrate into the hearts of the people.

After Ontario, I went to Ji Province. Originally, there were only live broadcasts on the radio. Later, Qiao Li used her personal relationship to get one more TV interview for Li Kai.

In the live radio broadcast, Li Kai sang "Your Backpack", while in the TV interview, he sang "Norwegian Forest".

On February 2th, the day before Li Kai's album was released.

In the afternoon, Li Kai and his group returned to Shenzhen City. Because the distance was too far, the train would take more than ten hours, so they took a plane instead.

When she was in the waiting area of ​​the airport, Qiao Li went to buy a lot of newspapers. Before she could read them, her face was already very serious.

Because, the daily entertainment newspaper, and the entertainment express, the front pages of these two newspapers have related articles, and the titles of the two articles are very eye-catching, and they are particularly dazzling.

Title [-]: "Norwegian Wood" is a fake rock song.

Headline [-]: "Norwegian Wood" made the popularity of the rookie king plummet, or will it be short-lived?
