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

Chapter 158 Qilixiang

(PS: Mayday debuted as an underground rock band, the first group concept in Asia, I personally think there are two indicators, first, after 10 years, the total income will rank first in Asia, far higher than those teams in Korea and Japan, and second, singing The number of people mobilized will be more than 200 million in one round, and 30 in the three games of the Bird's Nest alone)

The Spring Festival, the most important annual festival in Huaguo, is similar to the Earth in the previous life, with seven days of legal holiday in the 90s, from the first day to the seventh day of the new year.

On New Year's Eve, you still have to go to work normally, but most companies release it at one or two in the afternoon.

Of course, for record companies, not only will Chinese New Year not rest, but it will also be the busiest.

More than half of the company's singers are scattered all over the country, whether they are party shows or commercial performances.
The CCTV Spring Festival Gala is on New Year's Eve, and local stations will broadcast it live simultaneously.

The Spring Festival cultural evenings of various local stations will be held one day in advance and held on New Year's Eve.

The sky, which was still covered with snow in the morning, cleared up in the afternoon.

In the gym, Li Kai and Su Ting were walking fast on the treadmill. Facing the sunlight coming in from the window, Li Kai opened his arms and said with a smile, "Let me just say, there is nothing to worry about. My new album is just like this deep On a city day, the sun always comes after the snow.”

"Definitely!" Su Ting looked at his masculine face out of the corner of her eye, optimistic, hearty, with a childish smile, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her lips, she nodded heavily, her voice was like a judgment!
The sound just fell, followed by hurried footsteps.

Li opened the side faces of the two, and saw Qiao Li walking in with a cold face, her brows were furrowed, and several forehead lines appeared on her smooth forehead.

At the administrative level of the company, the music director is equivalent to the vice president, and the deputy director is equivalent to the directors of other departments. Qiao Li is a real high-level executive. She has a calm personality on weekdays, and her emotions are not visible. She rarely shows her emotions like she is now.

"Sister Li." Su Ting turned off the treadmill with great insight, and took the initiative to take a few steps forward.

Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sister Li, what happened to the TV station?"

Qiao Li went to the TV station to communicate before lunch, and she should have just come back now.

Qiao Li looked up at Li Kuan, nodded slowly, and said, "There are 21 programs in total for tonight's party, and your singing is ranked eighteenth."

Su Ting's face changed slightly, and Li Kai was also surprised.

Shenzhen City TV Station's singing at the New Year's Eve Gala was not a temporary promotional material, it was decided long ago.

There are a total of seven singing programs, and the order is: third, sixth, ninth, No.11, No.15, No.18, and No.20.

No.20 is the chorus.

Prime time, is the ninth, No.11.

In the Shenzhen music circle, Time Records and Shuteng Records are on par, and Time Records' national ranking is slightly ahead. According to the default practice, during these two prime time periods, each of the two record companies is one, and Time Records is usually the first to choose.

Even if there is a first-line top stream, or a super-first-line airborne, it means taking one of them, and taking a step back, Suteng Records will take another one.

At that time, Time Records should also be able to win the sixth place, or No.15.

It shouldn't be No.18 anyway.

No.18 was the worst, much worse than the third, because the whole show lasted more than three hours, starting at 10:30 and ending around [-]:[-].

No.18 is definitely going to be on stage after ten o'clock, and tomorrow is not a rest day. Many viewers in front of the TV will never see this time point.

For the selection of the most popular programs, the on-site audience votes are only for the small head, and the big head is the voice call, and the deadline is the end of the party.

In other words, for No.18, the time left for the audience to vote is only half an hour at most.

Qiao Li breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "At the beginning when the company got the quota for the Spring Festival Gala, the marketing department notified Shenzhen TV Station to withdraw your singing, and added it later. The order of other programs has been arranged. Added temporarily."

Su Ting was a little annoyed and said, "I didn't confirm with brother Zhang at all, the marketing department is doing it on its own!"

"I'm going to communicate with the marketing department now, and I'll think of a way to say hello to you first, so that you can be mentally prepared."

With that said, Qiao Li waved her hand and turned away.

From Qiao Li's eyes, Li Kai saw a surge of anger and self-blame, combined with the meaning of her last sentence, Li Kai understood in his heart that she was not very sure.

after an hour.

After exercising and taking a shower, Li Kai, who came out of the bathroom, learned a piece of news from the marketing department from Su Ting.

Qiao Li entered the office of the deputy director of the marketing department with a cold face, and then there was a sound of slapping the table, and then, Qiao Li and the deputy director of the marketing department came out of the office one after the other. The deputy director of the department was sullen, and finally the two went to the TV station together.

After four o'clock, Qiao Li came back and told Li Kai with some regrets. After repeated communication, she just moved Li Kai's stage one place forward, that is, the No.17 program.

Li Kai smiled: "Sister Li, you have worked hard."

It's late, seven o'clock.

There is still a quarter of an hour before the start of the Shenzhen TV Station and the Xiaonian Gala.

In a lounge in the backstage, Li Kai and the others got tonight's program list, all of them looked very unsightly.

Seven singing programs.

The third is a female singer who sings folk songs in the Shenzhen Art Troupe.

Sixth, a duo, a man and a woman, are both second-tier.

Ninth, the first-line female singer, Shu Zhen.

No.11, Little Heavenly King, Wu Qiyuan.

No.15, a rock band.

No.17, Li Kai.

A final chorus.

Shu Zhen is under Gunxue's label, second only to Su Yaqing's female number two, and Wu Qiyuan is under Shuteng Records, which is on par with another male singer, tied for number one male.

It is reasonable to occupy two prime time slots.

The third place is occupied by folk singers, which is reasonable.

For the sixth duo, the male singer is only in the middle and lower reaches of the second tier, and the female singer is barely in the middle of the second tier, and they are also from non-Shenzhen local record companies.

There is also No.15, a rock band. Although it comes from one of the five major record companies, Rolling Snow has made three albums since its debut, only one of which barely reached gold.

It is said to be second-tier, but in fact it is quasi-second-tier.

This is a bit unacceptable.

So what if the show is scheduled?

If it's the Spring Festival Gala, then it's understandable. After all, rehearsals will take many days, and no matter how big a star is, they won't be able to shake off in front of the Spring Festival Gala. All the directors have the final say.

However, in the local New Year's Gala, singers are not even exempted from rehearsals. It is normal for big names to jump in line, but it is not normal if they can't get in line.

Li Kai is the rookie king!
Due to the level rules of singers in the circle, he is only a rookie on the surface, but whether he is inside or outside the circle, he is at least considered as a second-tier by default, or even treated as a first-tier.

There is one head for a stable duo, and even more than one head for a rock band.

Take a ten thousand step back and say, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, even if you don't care about Li Kai's face, does it mean that you don't care about Time Records' face?
Time Records is the leader in Shenzhen, and the singer priority system promoted by local record companies is the default rule
Ni Houdao said solemnly: "I originally thought that among the seven singing programs tonight, the chorus will account for one, the art troupe will account for two, and the others will be at least second-tier."

Qiao Li understood what he meant, and then said, "I think so too. Last year's gala was almost the same. Who knew that this year's singers would drop so badly."

Su Ting was very practical: "Sister Li, can I still change it now?"

"We got the program list, which means that the audience also got it." Qiao Li shook her head slowly, and then looked at Li Kai: "I will give you an explanation for this matter later."

There are some things that she can guess in her heart, but it's inconvenient to point them out. Besides, pointing it out won't solve the current problem, it will only affect Li Kai's mood.

Ni Houdao didn't think too much about it, and directly stated his guess: "It's useless for you to find the marketing department. Didn't Lao Liu come with you this afternoon? This matter is most likely caused by Shuteng Records. "

Speaking of which, let's look at Li Kai: "In December, the three singers of Shuteng Records released films at the same time as SHF. .”

"Wu Qiyuan is on the same stage with you tonight, this is to give you a hard blow."

Li Kai understood what Ni Houdao meant. Yesterday, Qiao Li told him that tonight's party was to select the most popular program. Wu Qiyuan didn't even need to be the first, as long as he got more votes than Li Kai, that was enough. Shuteng Records was hyped.

"It's useless to talk too much. The air in the room is stuffy. I'll go to the corridor to get some air." Li opened his eyes and left the room.

Qiao Li and the others looked at each other, and their expressions became more serious.

At a quarter past seven, the party officially began.

One program follows another, singing, dancing, cross talk, and sketches are interspersed with each other.

Whether it is a dancer or a sketch comedian, their fame cannot be compared with that of a singer, as can be known from the reaction on the scene.

There are nearly 6 seats in the studio hall, of which 4 sell tickets to the outside world. Among them, young people aged 5 to 25 account for half of them. Most of them are fans of a certain singer. They buy tickets to come to the scene for their idols. here.

The third one, the female folk singer, obviously received much more applause than the previous skit.

The sixth duet group received more applause than female folk singers.

The first climax of the scene was set off by Shu Zhen who appeared ninth. As soon as she appeared, the audience cheered and screamed.

Because she was a top performer, she sang two songs in a row, one was her famous song, and the other was a love song from her last album. At the end of the singing, the applause lasted for half a minute, and many audience members stood up and applauded. Keep calling her name.

This is the top-tier popularity!

The previous eight programs, compared with her singing, directly became a foil.

After Shu Zhen, there was a cross talk, and then it was Wu Qiyuan's turn.

His popularity is not at all inferior to Shu Zhen's. Of course, this has something to do with him being a local singer in Shenzhen and playing at home.

Although he was awarded the title of Little Heavenly King, he was actually only in the middle and upper reaches of the first line, which was worse than the top line.
Wu Qiyuan sang a Cantonese song, which was the title of his album released three months ago.

Singing the chorus part, aroused the chorus of hundreds of people in the audience.

At the end of the singing, the applause to send him off the stage lasted for almost half a minute.

After the two climaxes, it seems to have entered a low tide period. The audience's response was mediocre in the next few programs, until the rock band came on stage, which set off a small climax again.

However, compared with Shu Zhen and Wu Qiyuan, they are obviously not as popular.

After the rock band, another dance program, and then it was Lee's turn.

Before he even got on stage, the audience had already started to stir up, and the shouts of "open and shut" were sporadic at the beginning, and quickly became a series.

However, what was waiting was a refreshing musical prelude, but Li Kai did not appear.

A lot of audience, no, it should be Li Kai's fans, all of them looked surprised. This prelude doesn't sound like a love song, but more like a folk song?

Could it be that the program list was printed wrong, and it's not Li Kai's turn to sing yet?

It’s no wonder that fans have this doubt. In the current popular music scene, lyrical slow songs are almost monopolized, and the public has even misunderstood them, equating lyrical slow songs with pop music!

Just in doubt, a brisk singing sounded: "The sparrow outside the window is talking too much on the telephone pole. You say this, it feels like summer. The pencil in your hand is going back and forth on the paper. I write a few lines describe who you are to me"

As the singing sounded, Li Kai, who was dressed in a national costume, also came out from behind.

And with his appearance, there was an uproar at the scene!
Then, it quickly fell silent again.

".All night, my love overflowed like rain, butterflies on the window sill, like beautiful chapters flying in a poem, I continued to write, and wrote forever love you into the end of the poem, you are the only thing I want to know."

"Qilixiang" is a typical Chinese style. In terms of music, it has stepped out of the European style and returned to the free and fresh tunes, revealing a cool and refreshing.

It has a classic style, but it does not make people feel the slightest twilight.

The lyrics are beautiful, poetic and full of emotion.

Listening to such a melody, coupled with such lyrics, a poetic and beautiful picture emerges in people's minds unconsciously.

After Li Kai sang the first verse, the response from the scene was not very strong. Li Kai was not surprised. Chinese style is not rock and roll. The aftertaste is long, and the more you taste, the more delicious it becomes, until you can't extricate yourself and feel a lot of emotion.

After a passage, Li Kai continued to sing. After singing a song, his eyes swept away, and he caught the intoxicated faces in the audience.

It's not just young faces, there are many people in their 40s and even 50s who already have wrinkles on their faces, but at this time, it seems that the wrinkles have stretched and faded a lot.

Li Kai bowed with a smile, then waved his hands and walked towards the bottom of the stage, applause was heard bit by bit, and when he reached the edge of the stage, it seemed that he had reached a critical point in the making.

boom!
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause at the scene!

Not only his fans were applauding desperately, but even the older audience was clapping their hands hard. The third wave of climax was set off, even faintly surpassing Shu Zhen and Wu Qiyuan.
