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

Chapter 165 Miracle
Li opened his eyes and said, "Sister Li, don't scare me, I am the only one who can't control my own destiny well, how can I have the right to control the fate of others."

Qiao Li glanced at him, pointed at Ni Houdao, then at Su Ting, then at the security guard, the driver: "They are the team assigned to you by the company, and your future and destiny are in your hands. nature."

Li Kai thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "How can it be of the same nature? Isn't it just to stand up and shout twice? Yes, it is true that they can benefit, but if they are wrong, they will maintain the original state without half a loss. A profitable business."

"It makes things so easy"

Ni Houdao sighed suddenly, and said slowly: "Guo Yifu was the first to try to break through the music style, but ended in failure. All the songwriters who cheered for him were eliminated from the five giants, and most of the first-tier records. Although the singers who were not on the company's cooperation list and supported him were not frozen, they all went downhill without exception, including Guo Yifu himself."

After talking about Guo Yifu, he mentioned Murphy again: "Murphy is the second super-line to try, and it also ended in failure. The songwriters and singers who cheered for her also ended up in the same way. It was at the price of retiring that Murphy's status was preserved, but even so, Murphy was not able to reign supreme again."

Li Kai listened silently, digested for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Is it the record company's suppression?"

Ni Houdao shook his head, then nodded again: "The record company has played a role, but it is passive. For the record company, they actually hope that the music genre will flourish, rather than the lyrical and slow songs will dominate."

After a pause, he directly announced the answer: "It's the popular songwriters in the circle, that is, the active songwriters in the circle. The masterpieces under their names, not to mention 100%, at least [-]% are lyrical slow songs. It is the biggest help to break the current pattern of the Chinese music scene."

Hearing this, Li Kai became a little enlightened.

What is the root of the music circle?Not singers, but songwriters, because they make music, and without them, there would be no music scene.

In the current Chinese music scene, lyrical slow songs dominate the world and are the absolute protagonists, while other genres are just supporting roles like seasoning.

The protagonist must want to keep his status, and the supporting role must want to become the protagonist. The two parties are a game relationship.

When the protagonist is too strong, the supporting role can only choose to endure, but as long as the time is right, the supporting role will jump out and challenge the leading role!
Challenges are not a free lunch, there are consequences and a price to pay.

"Record companies have to choose between popular big and medium artists and outdated songwriters. Naturally, it can only be the former, and those singers will no longer be able to get the works of popular big and medium celebrities, or even small ones. The sales of records have dropped and their popularity has declined. It’s also inevitable.”

Ni Houdao looked at him and said, "Before, there were a few first-line singers who tried to break through the style of music, but they didn't make any waves. This shows that no matter whether it is a popular songwriter or a past songwriter, they don't think they are successful. possible."

"And this time, your sales in the first week, and your strong performance at the party last night, Chinese style and rock and roll overwhelmed the king of the king, and a day later, those former songwriters saw hope again, so they did not hesitate to use fate as a Bet, jump out and wave the flag for you."

Hearing what he said, Li Kai understood completely, and felt a little heavy for no reason, but the heavy was heavy, but it would not become a psychological burden. After all, this was not his initiative, but passive restraint.

"I hope I won't disappoint them." Li Kai shrugged indifferently, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.

The next day.

Li Kai and his group checked out early in the morning, went to the train station, and got on the train bound for the capital.

A full nine and a half hours drive.

It was already dark when we arrived in the capital, and the night in the capital was extremely cold. The dripping water turned into ice is a bit exaggerated, but it must be minus four or five degrees, and the sky was still covered with goose feather snow.

It was past eight o'clock when we arrived at the hotel, everyone went back to the room to tidy up a bit, then went to the restaurant and started a charcoal stove hot pot.

Qiao Li was the last to arrive again, with another stack of newspapers in her hand.

"As expected, it broke out. There were more than a dozen reports, and even Song Lao, who had retired for several years, also spoke out."

Qiao Li's tone was quite calm, but listening carefully, she could still detect a little tangle.

"Old Song, Song Guangming?" Ni Houdao's eyelids twitched, looking surprised.

Qiao Li nodded slightly, opened Li's eyes, and caught Su Ting's unclear expression, and said, "Song Guangming's songwriter in the 80s is almost [-], and he retired after [-]."

After a pause, he added: "The previous two times, Guo Yifu and Mo Fei were supported by famous songwriters, but there was only one of them. Your treatment this time is already equal to the two of them."

After finishing speaking, he took out a newspaper: "The one who shouted the most is Feng Mo, who not only cheered for you, but also announced that he would come out of the mountain."

Li Kai took a look, hey, half the page is full, and it is still the top ten entertainment in the country.

"Mr. Song spoke highly of your two songs, especially "Qilixiang". Compared with several classic Chinese-style songs in the 80s, two of these songs are Mr. Song's works, and I gave them an even better evaluation. "

Ni Houdao's voice was full of emotion, and Li Kai couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words.

Taking his masterpiece as a stepping stone for his works, he is still a retired songwriter, and it is almost impossible to produce new high-level works in the future.

This strength has reached the point where it cannot be added.

Even though he didn't know Song Laosu well, based on this point, Li Kai felt a wave of respect spontaneously.

The other songwriters, although they have passed away, are still active in the circle after all. They support Li Jian in the hope that they will turn around and their value will skyrocket.

As for Mr. Song, Ni Houdao said that he is almost sixty, and has already passed the golden age of creation. Even if the current music scene breaks down and enters a new era of competing genres, Mr. Song will not be the direct beneficiary.

But without hesitation, he bet his life's wisdom, for what?
There is only one answer, he is not trying to achieve Li Kai's works, but dedicating himself to the music scene in his heart.

The real music scene should not be dominated by a certain genre, but all genres should have their place.

For this, Li Kai is deeply impressed, and I believe it will be recognized by every musician who really loves music!

"Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Thursday, the Feng Yun Billboard at noon, the Golden Melody Chart in the evening, and the fifth round of new song recommendations. There are a total of four songs, all of which are the first and second hits of your and Liu Mingliang's albums."

After riding the train all day today, Li Kai fell asleep for several hours. When he woke up, he didn't ask about the recommendation of the new songs on the two charts. Hearing Qiao Li mention it, Li Kai was not surprised, but his heart still beat a few beats.

The moment of decisive battle is approaching.

Li Kai knew very well that if Liu Mingliang's album No. [-] and No. [-] were selected for the sixth round of new song recommendations on the two charts tomorrow, it would mean that he had failed in his test of gold.

"Tomorrow noon, eat half an hour earlier, and leave tomorrow night half an hour later." Qiao Li had no extra expressions on her face, and her tone was steady, but it was more unquestionable than when she gave instructions as a leader on weekdays.

Of course Li Kai would not contradict her, but he smiled and said, "Sister Li, can you stop making the atmosphere so serious? Everyone is afraid to move their chopsticks."

Qiao Li glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, it's not my album, the emperor is really in no hurry."

"The court lady is in a hurry." Li Kai answered the words, and everyone reacted a little too late. Due to Qiao Li's status, they all suppressed their laughter, and it was hard work.

Friday, January 2th.

It was 10:30 for lunch, and Li woke up late, so he decided to settle with breakfast and lunch together.

Before eleven o'clock, Li Kai, Ni Houdao, Qiao Li, and Su Ting gathered in the living room of the room.

The three of Ni Houdao sat in a row, staring at the TV screen without blinking, while Li Kai took fruit and poured water.

Ni Houdao rarely lit a cigarette, and when Li Kai brought a cup of tea in front of him, he waved his hand in disgust: "Can you stop dangling around."

As soon as the voice fell, the TV screen switched, and the prelude to the music came. It was the first title of Liu Mingliang's album "Love in Winter".

Qiao Li's and Su Ting's expressions changed slightly, Ni Houdao was also stunned, but Li Kai's heart skipped a beat.

In the sixth round of new song recommendation for the two charts, there were only two shortlisted songs. The appearance of the first hit of Liu Mingliang's album also meant that at least one of the first and second hits of his album was eliminated.

The living room became completely silent, only Liu Mingliang's deep and affectionate singing was rippling.

At the end of the song, the host appeared on the screen again, predicting the songs that will be on the list in the new week
Li Kai suddenly thought of a question, and asked, "How many singers will release the album next week?"

Qiao Li understood the meaning in seconds, and looked at him: "Even if Zhou Ziming and Michelle release the film in advance, there are only nine singers in total, including a newcomer. At least [-] new songs are recommended for the two charts. The third title of the album will definitely be shortlisted."

The voice fell, and less than half a minute later, the host said, "Let's listen to this week's Billboard New Songs and recommend another song that was shortlisted for the sixth round."

The screen switched, and the brisk prelude came, and it was "Qilixiang".

Su Ting couldn't help but exclaimed, Qiao Li's long-lost smile melted away, Ni Houdao looked excited, and directly extinguished a cigarette she just lit.

Li Kai also breathed a sigh of relief, but remained calm, and glanced at the three of them: "Look at you, the emperor is really not in a hurry, and the ministers and maids are in a hurry."

As he spoke, he shook his head, and immediately got three pairs of blank eyes.

In the afternoon, after five o'clock, the recommendation of new songs on the Golden Melody Chart almost became a replica of the Billboard.

There are two pieces in the sixth round, the first piece is "Love Fire in Winter", and the second piece is "Qilixiang".

When Li Kai and his group left the hotel to go to the radio station, there was constant cheering in the car, and even Qiao Li obviously talked a lot more than usual.

February 2th, Saturday, is also the last day of the Spring Festival holiday.

As usual, before eleven o'clock, the four of Li Kai gathered in the living room, the seventh round of new song recommendations on the Billboard, and the last song left was "Fire of Love in Winter".

The three of Qiao Li were fine. The first title of Li Kai's album was able to enter the sixth round, which had already met their expectations. As for the seventh round, they really didn't dare to expect extravagantly.

Since [-], more than [-]% of all super-first-line releases, the first and second titles of the album will sweep the two charts and the sixth round of new song recommendation.

The remaining [-]% is the hits of other singers' albums, which can squeeze out one of the two hits of the top-tier albums.

There were only two times when other singers' albums advanced to the seventh round, and both times they were one of the two charts.

And these two times happened to the heavenly king Zhao Chuanxiong, and the album was released in Mandarin.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Chuanxiong's Mandarin album can only be counted as a first-line top-tier, or quasi-king level, and Zhao Chuanxiong was awarded the title of Heavenly King because of his Cantonese album.

Therefore, it can be concluded that since the Chinese music scene has been ruled by lyrical slow songs, as long as it is a super-first-line release, the highest achievement that other singers in the same period can strive for is the sixth round of new song recommendations on the two charts.

Only Li opened his chest and felt tight, losing!

Is it still lost after all?
One afternoon, he locked himself in the room, saying he was sleeping, but he didn't sleep at all, lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling.

It is certain that he will be hit, but he will not be discouraged because of this. He knows that this is not a problem with the song, but with popularity and publicity resources.

However, if you know it, you know it, and it is inevitable to lose your heart.

It wasn't until nearly five o'clock when Ni Houdao knocked on the door that he got up and went out. After the wind and cloud list, there was also the golden song list.

Theoretically, he still has a chance to draw with Liu Mingliang, but he doesn't hold out any hope, he is not giving up on himself, but facing the reality, because since [-], Zhao Chuanxiong's only two misses were in the Billboard.

He is not very clear about the promotion criteria for the new songs recommended by the two charts. Even Qiao Li can't fully explain it, but there is one point, which is the consensus in the circle.

After losing on the Billboard, if you want to make it back on the Golden Melody Chart, it's only a miracle!

Even Li Kai didn't report his hope, let alone Qiao Li and others. Qiao Li and Su Ting didn't come over at all, and Ni Houdao just turned on the entertainment channel. After sitting for a while, he lifted his buttocks to boil water.

However, the reason why miracles are called miracles is that they always happen when all hope is lost.

When the music of "Qilixiang" came from the TV, Li Kai was stunned.

Ni Houdao filled the cup with a boiling electric kettle, and kept that action. The water overflowed from the cup and flowed along the counter until it dripped on the back of his feet. The scalding temperature made him wake up like a dream. , took a breath of cold air, and let out a cry of pain.

But he ignored it completely, turned his head to look, Li Kai was startled by his painful cries, also turned his head to look, his eyes intertwined, he was stunned for a moment, and then Ni Houdao's face was full of ecstasy, he clenched his fist and waved it out of thin air.

Li Kai was also full of surprise, clenched his hands into fists, and said in a low voice, "YES!"

Recommended new songs on the two charts, Li Kai and Liu Mingliang, each cleared the first chart. In addition, the first and second albums of the two were the main hits, and they swept the fifth round.

It's really evenly split.

The circle was shocked!
When Li Kai and his group came to Beijing TV Station and entered the backstage rest area, the rest area, which was full of chatter and laughter, suddenly became much quieter.

There are a total of 21 programs in today's gala, nine of which are singing programs, almost half of them.

Among them were Su Yaqing and Zhao Chuanxiong, two super-first-tier players, as well as a top-tier player for both men and women.

At this moment, they all looked sideways, with an indescribable complexity in their eyes.

If Li Kai and Zhao Chuanxiong released films at the same time, everyone would be surprised, but not shocked.

Li Kai's opponent is Liu Mingliang!
The first king, even if he meets a top-tier singer, he doesn't dare to expect to be one of the two charts, let alone the super-first-line golden song chart that has never missed.

Li Kai did it!

This rookie king, who has been breaking records continuously since entering the circle, once again created a miracle.

Moreover, the significance of this miracle is extraordinary.

At this moment, many people had this idea in their minds: Perhaps, the pattern of lyrical slow songs dominating the Chinese music scene will really be broken by him, thus entering a new era.

Of course, such thoughts will only stay in my mind for a moment, and will soon dissipate.

The recommendation of new songs on the two charts is just a reference after all, everything still depends on sales!
However, the birth of a miracle is like opening Pandora's box.

Tonight's party, two top-notch top performers, two top-notch top performers on the same stage, all four of them sang during prime time.

Li Kai No. 13 came on stage, it was already past nine o'clock, and it was on the edge of sub-prime time and prime time.

But the next day, the Beijing TV station announced the results of the selection of the most popular programs, but Li Kai won the first place, with a very slight advantage, only less than 1 votes more than the second Su Yaqing.

But first is first!

With the song "Qilixiang", Li Kai crossed the gap in popularity and the difference in singing time, and suppressed two super-first-tier and two first-tier top performers.

On Sunday, on the return train, Li Kai and his party were all very excited, with deep hope in their eyes.

Tomorrow, the sales report will be released, and they are full of anticipation in their hearts whether they will usher in the moment of witnessing a miracle!
