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

Chapter 161
Li Kai is not ready-made words.

Ever since Liu Mingliang's manager called him and made him think about some things, he was ready to fight the storm this time during the album promotion period.

This moment, that moment.

When he released his first single, he was a pure rookie, so he could only endure in silence.

But now, he is the rookie king, and has a popularity that is not weaker than the first-line. If he continues to remain silent, it is not forbearance, but cowardice. It will make fans misunderstand that he lacks confidence in the new album, and will disappoint fans!
His determination can be seen from the fact that he bluntly stated that those musicians who questioned that "Norwegian Forest" is fake rock are fake musicians at the album release conference.

Yesterday, all the entertainment newspapers spoke badly about him. If he were to find out, it would be no wonder that he would remain indifferent!

Of course, if He Jingyun, Feng Mo and others came forward to support them, the critics in the circle would be slower, and it would not be impossible for Li Kai to speak out when the sales report came out tomorrow!
As Qiao Li said, there is no rush for a day.

But now can't wait.

His friends, as well as people in the circle who support him, have been bombarded because of him, but as the parties concerned, they shrank back. This violates his principles and bottom line in life!
Ni Houdao has been in contact with Li Kai for almost half a year. He knows that the latter is very stubborn and strong in his bones. Then he nudged Qiao Li with his elbow and said proactively, "Some people are indeed a bit too much. It's good to clarify. The interview is in the garden behind the hotel. Let me arrange it?"

Qiao Li silently withdrew her gaze from Li Kai, looked at Ni Houdao again, and shook her head lightly: "Go and communicate with the hotel, I'll contact Miao Weihong, this is his site, it's more convenient for him to contact the media, Let him send someone over to help."

Weihong Records is a local record company, second-tier, and any commercial activities of Time Records in Jiangsu Province are undertaken by Weihong Records.

Miao Weihong is the general manager of Weihong Records.

Ni Houdao agreed, and gave Li Jian a reassuring look.

"The press conference will be at around three o'clock, so you should also prepare." Qiao Li confessed, got up and left the private room with Ni Houdao.

Half an hour later than Qiao Li expected.

At 03:30, eight media outlets and eleven reporters waited in the small garden behind the hotel. As soon as Li Kai appeared, he quickly surrounded him.

Without the need for the reporters to speak, Li Kai went straight to the point: "This temporary press conference is being held today. Recently, there have been some groundless questions and smears about me personally. Here I need to clarify."

He paused, and continued: "The source of these groundless doubts and smears is the Shenzhen City New Year's Gala, the most popular program selection. My live singing failed to enter the top three, but only ranked fourth."

As he spoke, a contemptuous smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "My good friend Ms. He Jingyun has already explained this to me. I completely agree with her statement. My personal opinion can be summed up in ten words. My song won The live audience!"

Hearing this definition, the eyes of the reporters lit up, and a female reporter immediately asked, "Miss He Jingyun called you the uncrowned king of the Shenzhen Xiaonian Gala. Do you think so?"

"of course."

Li Kai responded unequivocally, and then, without giving the reporter a chance to ask any more questions, he raised a finger and said, "Now I want to announce one thing, Miss He Jingyun's solo debut album, one or two title songs will be My work and the exact release date are not up to me, but I dare say that with Ms. He Jingyun's voice and my two works, if the film is released at the same time as the little queen Deng Yaxuan, the sales will surpass the latter The probability is more than [-]%!"

Hearing the last sentence, the reporters couldn't help but exclaimed, their eyes brightened.

The little queen, Deng Yaxuan, is a first-tier mid-upstream singer, favored by many musicians in the circle, and has the potential to hit the top-tier.

Li Kai even said that the newcomer He Jingyun VS the young queen Deng Yaxuan has an [-]% chance of winning, which means that it is [-]% sure.

In the entire music circle, Li Kai was the only one who dared to say such words.

Once this news comes out, it will definitely set off a storm.

this is amazing.

But before it was over, Li Kai threw out another big news: "In addition, just this morning, when Mr. Ge Guangyao was interviewed by the media, he named Mr. Wu's work "Green Lake Quietness" and gave him a very low evaluation. I would say, beg to differ."

boom!
The reporters were in an uproar.

The circle of songwriters pays most attention to rank and seniority. Ge Guangyao is a famous songwriter. Even other big names in the circle would never openly question his views, but Li Kai gave them a full negative.

Li Kai pressed his hands and waited for the reporters to be quiet before continuing: "Mr. Ge Guangyao is a famous songwriter in the circle. There are many classics in his works. There is no doubt about it. However, he has a specialization in art. From his representative works All of them are lyrical and slow songs. It can be seen that his creative style is to comment on a Chinese style.”

Speaking of this, he showed a look of disdain, and shook his head: "It's like, even if a pop singer has achieved high achievements, he shouldn't criticize and point out a bel canto singer or a folk singer. Although the singing has something in common , but the way of singing is different, it’s still like interlacing between lines and mountains, pointing and criticizing others from the perspective of one’s own good field in a field that one’s not good at, that’s not pointing and criticizing, but misleading students!”

Good guy, I gave Daka Ge a hat of "mistaken son".

This is really amazing!
The reporters didn't know how to describe the mood at the moment, incredible, shocking, admiration, of course, more excited.

"Finally, I would like to say one more thing. The first title of my album is "Qilixiang". Anyone who thinks it is not Chinese style is a pseudo-musician. "Qilixiang" is a more outstanding Chinese style work, otherwise, please shut up!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Kai left with a wave of his hands. The reporters rushed towards him like hungry and cold wolves. They wanted to ask more questions, but they were stopped by four security guards from Weihong Records in a row.

The general manager of Weihong Records, Miao Weihong, also came, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, he was stunned for a while, turned his head to look at Qiao Li beside him, and said with some difficulty: "He, has he ever thought about saying these words?" The consequences, Mr. Qiao, you, and neither."

Qiao Li spread her hands: "Aren't you going to meet the rookie king? This is, his album promotion period, my role is his temporary manager, and he decides everything."

Miao Weihong's face turned bitter, and he didn't know what to say.

That night, 07:30.

Li Kai went on a live broadcast on the radio, because during the prior communication, Li Kai bluntly said that there is no need to avoid some recent sensitive issues.

Therefore, after Li Kai sang "Qilixiang", the host mentioned that many musicians in the circle questioned "Qilixiang" and "Norwegian Forest".

"Whether "Qilixiang" is Chinese style, "Norwegian Forest" is rock, I think the real musicians in the circle have a clear mind."

He didn't use the term "pseudo-musician" to define it anymore, this is a requirement of the program group.

"This is my first solo album since my debut. It includes three styles of music, among which the Chinese style "Qilixiang" is still the first hit. This is a breakthrough attempt in the current domestic pop music scene. It can also be said that It is an attempt to go against the trend, and it will definitely be met with mixed reviews."

Li Kai's tone was calm, indifferent and confident, and finally expressed his attitude and state of mind in one sentence: "The direction against the wind is more suitable for flying. Even if tens of thousands of people question it, I will not surrender!"

When we got back to the hotel, it was past nine o'clock.

At the end of the day, Li Kai was also a little tired. He had to catch the train to Shanghai early tomorrow morning. When he got to the room, he was about to wash up before going to bed when the phone rang.

He walked over, grabbed it, and yawned, "Who's there?"

"It's me, Gao Dongliang."

As soon as he heard that it was the assistant to the general manager, and his tone was low, he knew that something was going to happen, so he said softly, "Oh, Assistant Gao, what's the matter?"

"Who allowed you to be interviewed by reporters without permission, huh?"

Gao Dongliang's voice suddenly stern: "You know, what a disaster you caused by talking nonsense."

Li frowned, his voice was a little louder, and he interrupted: "Assistant Gao, two songs in my album have been criticized and questioned so much, if I keep silent, you know what consequences this will lead to. ?"

Gao Dongliang was choked for a moment, his breathing was a little rough, he was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice: "It's fine for you to clarify yourself, why do you want to make use of the problem, pointing the finger at Deng Yaxuan is not counted, even with Teacher Ge, Li Kai , are you a little too ignorant, Mr. Ge is a famous songwriter in the circle, even if Mr. Ren meets him, he will respectfully call him a teacher, you are still just a little guy in the circle, how dare you?"

Li Kai interrupted again: "I said that there is a specialization in surgery."

"Don't do this with me!" Gao Dongliang became angry, and intercepted in turn: "Let me tell you, Mr. Ge is not only a famous songwriter, but also a shareholder of Rolling Snow Records. He called Mr. Ren himself before. In addition, The vice president of Daishi Records also called Mr. Ren, and both parties asked you to apologize publicly for your remarks."

Li smiled: "Okay, let Deng Yaxuan apologize to He Jingyun first, let Teacher Ge apologize to Teacher Wu, as long as they do it, I will apologize to them."

"you"

"Assistant Gao, there are some impossible things. What's the point of talking too much? I'm now in the album promotion period, and my words and deeds are fundamentally for the album sales, not only to protect my personal interests, but also to protect the interests of the company. do you think so?"

Without giving Gao Dongliang a chance to reply, Li Kai immediately said, "Assistant Gao, let me ask you, if I apologize to them both, can you guarantee that my album will be sold double platinum? If you can guarantee it, I can consider it. "

Gao Dongliang was dumb, promise, I promise shit!

"If you can't guarantee it, then I'm sorry, I can't apologize. I held a press conference today to work hard towards double platinum. Even if Mr. Ren calls me, I still have the same attitude."

Li Kai was really annoyed. As for the media, the company's marketing department should have taken care of it. If the marketing department didn't do anything, he went to the battle himself. On the contrary, the company was under pressure, but he was asked to come forward to apologize. What's the point?
Bullshit!
"Double Platinum, this is what you said. I will report to Mr. Ren in person tomorrow." There was a long silence on the other side, and Gao Dongliang finally choked out this sentence, not giving Li Kai a chance to correct what he said, and directly Bye.

Li looked at the microphone with a busy voice, and shook his head with a sneer.

At the same time, in another room, Qiao Li received a call from Mr. Ren himself. Mr. Ren's tone was similar to that of Gao Dongliang, full of displeasure. He criticized Qiao Li and asked her why she didn't stop her. Ask Li Kai to apologize publicly.

Qiao Li didn't contradict Li Kai like that, but she said at Mr. Ren's request: "Mr. Ren, Li Kai is now in the promotion period for the album. Let's talk about it when we get back to the company after three weeks of sales."

Mr. Ren understood the meaning, and after a long silence, he said, "Then let's do this first, and wait until tomorrow's sales report comes out."

Monday, October 2.

Early in the morning, Li Kai and the others had breakfast, checked out and left the hotel at early eight o'clock.

After driving for more than half an hour, I arrived at the railway station and boarded the train bound for Shanghai at 09:30.

Similar to New Year's Eve, there were very few people in the carriage, and there were empty seats in the front, back, left, and right sides.

Li Kai sat at the window, looking sideways at the scenery outside. Ni Houdao held a newspaper and read it casually. Su Ting dragged her chin with her hands in a daze. Qiao Li lowered her eyes to write and draw in her notebook.

After ten o'clock, Qiao Li, Ni Houdao, and Su Ting took out the copy machines at the same time. Li Kai glanced at them and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "It's not necessary, it's only been on the market for four days, but it's actually been sold for three days." , the sales volume does not explain the problem.”

Just as he was talking, his copy machine beeped!

In a moment, Qiao Li raised her head, Su Ting looked sideways, and Ni Houdao turned his head. Six eyes directly locked on him, all of them were urging.
