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

Chapter 168 Silence is for Explosion

Li was dumbfounded, how could he answer these words?
"Hehe, just kidding." Qiao Li pursed her lips into a smile, then looked away, and said softly, "I ran to Nanshi to find you to sign the contract. I know very well how much you value the autonomy of songwriters. Knowing that you can’t do it, the result can only be that you can’t complete the tasks assigned by Mr. Ren, and your trust in me will be greatly reduced.”

Li Kai thought for a while, then nodded silently. Indeed, knowing what his bottom line is, but trying to persuade him to give up the bottom line, no matter how much Qiao Li has difficulties or incentives, even if Li Kai can understand, or even forgive, there will inevitably be grudges in her heart. .

I have to say that Qiao Li is a wise and rational woman.

It's not unreasonable to work hard from the grassroots, only in his early thirties, to occupy a place in the top management of a first-line record company!
The two fell silent, only the sound of biting candied haws remained.

After walking for a while, Li Kai suddenly said: "Sister Li, I was a newcomer in the past, so I was inevitably targeted and beaten by the company. I took it as a kind of experience. As long as the remaining one and a half years of the contract period, the company will no longer miss me. You can also be promoted to the music director and if the contract expires, I can consider renewing the contract for another two years."

Qiao Li's footsteps stopped suddenly, and she looked sideways at Li Kai, with surprise in her eyes.

How could she not understand what Li Kai meant? This was a bargaining chip for her to be promoted to director.

Singers above the second-tier top stream are cash cows for the company, and the biggest worry is that the former will quit after the contract expires.

With this album, no one doubts that Li Kai will step into the front line step by step, and the contract will be renewed for two years, which will at least bring millions of profits to the company.

This chip is full of weight!
Li Kai also stopped, met Qiao Li's gaze, and said calmly: "Singers get a share, and it doesn't matter which company they work for. The key is to have a leader to take care of Sister Li, are you right?"

At the last question, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qiao Li stared at him for a while, and there was a trace of smile on the corner of her mouth: "Isn't it very fulfilling to win a few singers and a director?"

Li Kai rolled his eyes and said with a haha: "I'm afraid that I'll win one. Ah Dou."

He originally wanted to say white-eyed wolf, but temporarily changed his name to Adou.

Qiao Li didn't understand, so she asked, "What is A Dou?"

"Uh, Ah Dou, my nickname for Jin Yuandou."

Jin Yuandou in this world is similar to Liu Adou on earth.

Qiao Li's face collapsed, and with a muffled grunt, she bit the last candied haws into her mouth, making the chewing sound much louder and crisper.

The next day, in the morning.

Qiao Li went to the general manager's office and stayed there for more than an hour. No one knew what Qiao Li and Mr. Ren talked about.

However, after lunch, rumors that Qiao Li was going to be promoted to music director came out of nowhere and quickly spread within the company.

As for Qiao Li, she set off with Li Kai's group and started the promotion for the last week.

"A New Era of Chinese Music"

"The next stop vane of the Chinese music scene"

"Chinese style, blowing a new trend in the Chinese music scene"

"Rock and Roll, Restoring the Glory"

"Folk songs, every Chinese has a dream of folk songs"

With the release of the sales list last week, the music circle was shaken, and the unwilling media naturally would not let go of the opportunity to make a big splash.

The major entertainment newspapers, the front page and the side board, all published an article about the wind vane of the Chinese music scene.

Those songwriters in the circle who are looking forward to the break of the music scene have been interviewed by reporters, talking about the Chinese music scene is about to enter a new era.

As for the mainstream of the new era, some talk about Chinese style, some talk about rock, some talk about folk songs, and some talk about sweet songs. They are not all the same, but tacitly ignore lyrical slow songs.

In addition, on Monday, the two rock bands announced the release date, which is scheduled for April!

On Tuesday, five second- and third-tier singers were interviewed by reporters, and they roughly revealed the release time, which is in April and May. As for the first and second titles of the album, they will try other genres other than lyrical and slow songs!
On Wednesday, a second-tier top boy group announced that their new album will be released in late April. The first and second albums will feature fast songs and dance music.

However, those popular songwriters in the circle, as well as popular and super-first-line singers, are collectively silent.

Public opinion tends to be one-sided, and even a few entertainment tabloids shout out the slogan that lyrical slow songs are declining, and that lyrical slow songs will soon withdraw from the mainstream of the music scene
It gives people the feeling that the era of the Chinese music scene has passed the old and ushered in the new.

It's just that the lyrical slow songs are really in decline, and are they really about to withdraw from the mainstream of the music scene?
Those popular songwriters and singers in the circle, will they really be silent to the end?

The answer will be revealed soon!
On Tuesday night, Michelle appeared on the Modu Entertainment Channel, an exclusive interview program. The program specially opened an audio hotline, and Michelle sang the first title of her album on the program.

According to statistics, during the broadcast period of the program, a total of 7283 audio calls were made, which is similar to the meaning of the party's selection of the most popular programs, which means that Michelle won more than 7 votes.

With this result, even if it is placed in the Shanghai New Year's Gala, it can still enter the top five.

On Wednesday night, Zhou Ziming, Prince of Love Songs, served as a guest judge in the final of a singing competition in three provinces and one city in Guangzhou, and sang the title song of his album live.

At noon the next day, news came that Zhou Ziming's new album had sold more than 1 copies in Guangzhou in just one morning.

Also on Wednesday night, Li Kai had a variety show on Hong Kong Island and sang the second title of his album "Heart Like a Knife".

In the afternoon of the next day, news came that from 01 am to 30:2 pm, Li Kai's album had sold more than [-] copies on Hong Kong Island, and half of the sales outlets were out of stock.

On Thursday, the recommendation of new songs on the two charts entered the fifth round.

The four songs on the Billboard are: Zhou Ziming's album No. [-] and No. [-], Mi Xue's album No. [-], and Li Kai's album No. [-] "Little Love Song".

The same goes for the Golden Melody Chart.

The third title of Liu Mingliang's album, a Chinese style song is out.

So far, the popular songwriter who has been silent in the circle for a long time broke out!

More than 20 songwriters stood up in no particular order, including three big names and five medium names.
As if it had been discussed in advance, the opinions were quite unified, that is, lyrical slow songs are the unshakable first mainstream in the music world, and other genres are just occasional highlights!

After them, on Thursday night and Friday, many singers echoed without hesitation. Among them, there were two super-first-tier singers, the queen of heaven Su Yaqing, the king of heaven Zhao Chuanxiong, and four top-tier first-tier singers.

What do you mean, silence is for eruption, this is it!

The popular songwriters and singers in the circle all appeared on the stage, which reversed the one-sided public opinion, not to mention the one-sided one, at least they had an absolute advantage!
They are the ones standing at the pinnacle of the current Chinese music scene.

On Wednesday night, Li Kai finished a variety show on Hong Kong Island. On Thursday morning, Ni Houdao set off first, heading for the last stop of the promotion, Nanshi.

The 15th day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival on earth, and the [-]th day of the first lunar month in this world is also a similar festival, the Yuanzhong Festival.

This Saturday, Li Kai will attend the Yuanzhong Festival Gala in Nanshi City. Originally, he had planned to sing one song. After communication, the TV station verbally agreed to sing two songs in a row.

Ni Houdao stepped forward to fully implement it.

Li Kai and his party stayed in Hong Kong Island for one more day, had breakfast on Friday, and then went to the airport, and sat in the cabin at around [-] noon.

"These days, the circle is not peaceful. The east wind blows and the west wind blows." Before boarding the plane, Qiao Li bought a lot of entertainment newspapers, and handed Li Kai two copies with her eyes rolling.

Li Kai was not interested, so he glanced at it casually, and handed it back to Su Ting.

"Why don't you care about your business, Zhou Ziming's album is selling well in Guangzhou, I don't know if it's mixed with water, but your album is selling well in Hong Kong Island, it's an undeniable fact, and there are two new songs recommended, Liu Mingliang's third title, Chinese style, was out, your album's third title, small fresh love songs, was shortlisted, plus Zhou Ziming's album one and two titles, Michelle's album number one, reappearing the unity of lyrical and slow songs."

While Qiao Li was talking, there was a beep sound from the copy machine. Qiao Li nodded and opened it. It was a very long message. As her eyes moved, her eyebrows frowned unconsciously.

Li opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Li gritted her silver teeth lightly: "It's too much!"

Seeing the sullen look on her face, Li frowned.

Qiao Li let out a breath, looked at Su Ting hesitantly, and finally said without hesitation: "The marketing department has already stated to the outside world that your album's first title is "Seven Lixiang" and "Norwegian Forest". Inspired works, the whole album is still defined as a series of lyrical slow songs!"

Su Ting was a little confused, but Li Kai suddenly understood the meaning, and his face suddenly sank.

These days, Qiao Li would chat with him for an hour or so every day, telling him about the trends in the circle and the media. He knew very well that a big game about the direction of the Chinese music scene was unfolding fiercely.

He had no intention of participating, but the company made the decision without authorization. Expressing his position on his behalf was tantamount to pushing him into the vortex.

"There is one thing, I'm not trying to hide it from you, but I've already answered it for you. Mr. Ren called me yesterday and wanted you to agree to an interview with the media. I refused, and Mr. Ren didn't force it. I didn't expect "

Qiao Li's face was extremely pale, and she was really angry in her heart!
Unless interests are directly involved in this kind of game in the direction of the music industry, who would be willing to step into it?

Su Ting also gradually realized, her small face was as cold as ice: "It's too much, brother Zhang is running publicity outside to make money for the company, but the company is stabbing him in the back!"

Qiao Li forced herself to calm down, waved to Su Ting, motioned her not to add fuel to the flames, and then said to Li: "At this time, don't be impulsive, I will contact the company when I get off the plane Let me handle it, okay?"

Seeing the unease and worry in Qiao Li's eyes, Li Kai was silent for a while, let out a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, nodded and said: "Okay."

The flight took more than three hours from takeoff to landing.

Once out of the security check, Qiao Li went straight to the public phone booth at the airport and called the company.

But Li Kai took out the duplicator and turned it off on the plane. Now that he turned it on, there was a beeping sound immediately.

Li opened his eyes and looked bitterly on his face. Xu Qianqiu's message didn't say anything, and he only asked him to call back when it was convenient.
