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

Chapter 164 The Chinese music scene is about to enter a new era?
Deng Yaxuan is on stage for the ninth time. The first song is the title of her last album "I Can't Help Myself", and the second song is her famous masterpiece "Deceit".

The response at the scene was comparable to Li's.

Quite similarly, when she sang the second song, the fans were obviously much more emotional than the first song.

However, this is only superficial similarity. With the vicious eyes of senior people in the circle, it must be seen that the similar superficiality is actually a completely different essence.

When Li Kai sang, the fans' emotions were high or low, because the styles of the two songs were different.

And Deng Yaxuan's two songs are both lyrical and slow songs, which intuitively reflect the surprise of fans' love for the songs.

The love for new songs is not as good as old songs, and in a sense, it also represents the decline in popularity of singers.

Deng Yaxuan made her debut nearly five years ago. Counting her water-testing singles, she has released a total of five albums. The first four albums have been on the rise, and the sales volume of her fifth album has exceeded 170 million copies in a single year.

The next fifth record, which is the most recent one, even though the single-year sales also broke platinum, but barely exceeded 130 million, a year-on-year decrease of [-]%.

In fact, since the second half of last year, the topic of her potential to hit the top line has been rarely mentioned in the circle.

For a singer to turn from a rising period to a declining period, and then turn around, this is a difficulty in itself.

After Deng Yaxuan, after a skit, it was Zhao Yongkang's turn to take the stage.

The first song "Indulgence" was sung by hundreds of fans from the beginning to the end. The second song, like Deng Yaxuan, chose an old song, and the response was also good, but compared to "Indulgence", the enthusiasm of the fans was a little weaker.

It is not difficult to see from this that Zhao Yongkang's popularity is still on the rise. It is not unreasonable that Zhao Yongkang was named the Quasi-Heavenly King a few months ago and surpassed the first line, but he has not been questioned too much by the circle!
In the last show, all the actors came on stage again and sang "A Better Tomorrow" together.

After the whole show, the TV station prepared a small banquet.

It is said to be a banquet, but it is actually an opportunity for some media reporters to interview for the first time.

The interview was outside the banquet hall, and inside the banquet hall was a buffet.

Li Kai said a few words on the spot, and then handed over the job of dealing with reporters to Qiao Li and Ni Houdao, while he plunged into the banquet hall.

I was on an empty stomach before going on stage, and I only ate a piece of bread after singing, so I am really hungry now.

"You haven't eaten for a few days. If the reporter captures it, maybe tomorrow's newspaper will have a headline on the front page: The newcomer king starved to death and reincarnated." Li Kaiyi filled two plates of food, and held one for himself. Asking Su Ting to help take a plate, and took a third plate, and some pastries, and heard a somewhat mean voice.

Li opened his face to the side, only to see Deng Yaxuan dragging a glass of red wine and looking at him with a sneer.

Su Ting's face turned cold, and when she was about to speak, Li Kai said: "Miss Deng, I don't seem to have offended you."

Deng Yaxuan snorted and said, "There are no reporters here, so is it interesting to be polite?"

As she said that, she tossed her black and beautiful hair, and narrowed her charming eyes: "I thought you were just having an affair with Xu Qiaoling, but I didn't expect that you also had an affair with He Jingyun."

"Miss Deng, you are also a person of status, please be respectful when speaking." Li's face darkened slightly, and he turned his head to give Su Ting a flashy look.

"It turns out that there is a little lover beside me, man, heh!" Deng Yaxuan didn't intend to say more, she snorted coldly, and walked past Li Kai and the two.

As soon as she was about to pass by, suddenly, the plate in Su Ting's hand tilted, and a third of the food on the plate fell on Deng Yaxuan's pants.

Deng Yaxuan screamed.

Li Kai was also startled, and then he heard Su Ting say sorry.

"I'm sorry, you, you obviously did this on purpose." Seeing Zhang's blue slim pants being dyed in various colors, Deng Yaxuan's face suddenly became stinky.

Her assistant was not far away and hurried over.

"I'm sorry, I can take it to dry cleaning for you." Su Ting apologized again, but her expression was calm, and there was no trace of apology. Li opened her eyes and felt a little dumbfounded in her heart.

Deng Yaxuan was trembling with anger, her assistant quickly pulled her back and gestured with her eyes.

Only then did Deng Yaxuan realize that many people around her were paying attention. She let out a long breath of turbid air in her chest, stared at Su Ting coldly, and then turned her face away.

"Miss Deng, I'm sorry, how about I take it to dry cleaning for you?" Su Ting yelled at her back again, seeing that Deng Yaxuan turned a deaf ear, she looked away.

"You, you are too incompetent to be an assistant. You can't even hold the plate steadily. Fortunately, it didn't fall on me. Otherwise, I would be ashamed." Li stared at her, turned around and continued to pick up vegetables.

Su Ting said playfully: "This is called one thing dropping one thing."

Li opened his eyes and blinked, but didn't understand.

"She relied on being a woman to maliciously slander you. In this case, you can only suffer from boredom. Now that a woman is against a woman, I am just a small assistant. She is a big star, and she can only suffer from boredom."

Seeing the sly look in Su Ting's eyes, Li Kai shook his head speechlessly, and couldn't help but think of those palace fighting movies in his previous life. Whoever underestimates women is the biggest fool!

October 2, Wednesday.

Over breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Jolie announced the good news.

The data from the TV station came out. Last night's gala, the number of votes for the most popular program selection came out. First, Li Kai, 28342, second, Zhao Yongkang, 26738, third, Deng Yaxuan, 15934.

"That woman keeps saying that she wants to test Brother Zhang's gold, she doesn't even deserve a touchstone." Su Ting still has a bit of a grudge against Deng Yaxuan's face-to-face slander against Li Kai last night!

Qiao Li and Su Ting were in the same room, and she heard about it when she came back, and she shook her head with a wry smile: "There are many such things in the circle, and you need to be more careful, otherwise, you will only be the one who gets twisted."

As she said that, she raised her eyes and glanced at Li Kai: "Speaking of which, Deng Yaxuan's hostility towards you is not without reason, and it is not the main reason that you stood up for He Jingyun."

"Then why?" Li Kai was a little surprised.

"It's because of Xu Qiaoling." Qiao Li said: "Xu Qiaoling was named a queen, and now she is on an equal footing with Deng Yaxuan, so she is no longer the absolute No. [-] female singer under Daishi Records. The new owner is likely to be Rolling Snow Records."

Li Kai suddenly realized, no wonder, Xu Qiaoling was supported by him, shaking Deng Yaxuan's position in the record company, tantamount to hurting the fundamental interests.

But there's no way around it. Singers in the circle are naturally in a competitive relationship.

Ni Houdao interjected: "Deng Yaxuan took the initiative to challenge you. Now that the outcome has been decided, I suggest that you should deal with this matter coldly, and it is not suitable to pursue the victory."

Li Kai nodded in agreement. At this time, if he was interviewed by reporters again with a victorious posture, it would be a bit unreasonable.

However, Li Kai's cold treatment does not mean that the media will deal with it coldly.

As soon as the results of the selection of the most popular programs were announced at the Magic City TV Gala, the major entertainment newspapers immediately published relevant reports. Li Kai not only overwhelmed the little queen, but also overwhelmed the quasi-king.

For a moment, Li Kai was held up high.

The crush on Zhao Yongkang was not strong. Firstly, his votes were only slightly lower than that of Li Kai. Secondly, it is not uncommon for low-level singers to counterattack high-level masters at a certain party. Just like Ning Lan's counterattack on Su Yaqing in an evening show on the [-]th Kyoto TV station, the media's exaggeration is inevitable, but they are still quite restrained.

As for Deng Yaxuan, the crushing force was obviously much stronger. After all, she was the one who publicly "declared war" on Li Kai. When the gold test results came out, it was natural to have a conclusion.

For example, the rookie Wang beat the little queen, and the little queen failed in the gold test, such remarks are considered light.

There were two newspapers that directly pointed out that Deng Yaxuan was no longer worthy of the title of Little Diva. There were two reasons. First, her votes were less than two-thirds of Li Kai's. This was the most intuitive manifestation of the popularity gap. Second, Deng Yaxuan The sales of the last album dropped, and the new album has not been released for a long time. This is an expression of extreme lack of self-confidence. Obviously, Deng Yaxuan also knows that her popularity has begun to decline, so she procrastinates again and again.

Faced with these unfavorable remarks, Deng Yaxuan refused all interviews.

And just when everyone thought that everything would come to an end, an article on the front page of the Entertainment Times published at [-]:[-] p.m. directly shocked the entire music circle.

"The wind is rising, a new era of Chinese music is about to open! "

The article also mentioned last night's Magic City TV Gala, Li Kai won the most popular program, and used this as a reference, calling it a change in the wind vane of the Chinese music scene.

He also asserted that the dominance of lyrical and slow songs has been broken, and in the future, the Chinese music scene will reproduce the situation of multiple genres competing for the top.

This article was personally written by the editor-in-chief of the Entertainment Times. The public may not understand the weight of this article, but people in the industry know it clearly.

This represents the opinion of the Entertainment Times.

And then, there were four or five newspapers in a row, each of which had relevant echoing articles, and songwriters appeared one by one.

These songwriters all have one characteristic, they are all small and medium-sized cafes in the circle, and a large number of masterpieces are in genres other than lyrical slow songs, and they are all out of date.

After being silent for a long time, they all surfaced at the same time, the intention is self-evident.

Li Kai's new album gave them hope, a hope to push the Chinese music scene into a new era.

There is one last stop left for this week's promotion: Beijing.

Originally, Li Kai only had one live radio program, but Ni Houdao used his personal relationship to win him the opportunity to go to the Beijing TV Gala.

According to the live radio photo, it was Friday, and the gala was on Saturday.

There was an interval of two days, so Li Kai and his party stayed in Shanghai for one more day.

At dinner, Qiao Li came a little late, holding a stack of newspapers in her hand, with a slightly dignified expression.

"See for yourself."

Li Kai took the newspaper and flicked through it, with a slight surprise on his face. At the end, he smiled and said, "It's just a party with the most popular show. What about it?"

Qiao Li said in a serious tone: "Lyrical and slow songs have dominated the entire music circle for too long. There are too many songwriters of other genres waiting for such an opportunity, and you, let them see the emergence of this opportunity."

As he spoke, he let out a sigh of relief, and pointed at Li Kai: "For you, this album is just a breakthrough in the style of music, in order to gain a higher expected sales volume, but for many people, that It's a turning point of fate, and since you have raised your voice to cheer for you, it is tantamount to handing your fate into your hands."
