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

Chapter 169 Silence is golden
"Assistant Gao said that Mr. Ren went out in the afternoon, and the call to Mr. Ren's mobile phone was not answered. The Xijiang TV station has already dealt with the honesty, and it doesn't make much sense for me to stay. I will rush back to the company now. This matter cannot be delayed."

After Qiao Li finished making the phone call, she walked over with a sullen face.

Li Kai looked up at the big clock on the wall: "It's almost four o'clock now, isn't it midnight when you return to Shenzhen City?"

"There is another bus at six o'clock. I will go back overnight and enter the company early tomorrow morning."

Looking at Qiao Li's firm eyes, Li Kai thought for a while, nodded and said, "Be careful on the way, why don't Su Ting accompany you back?"

"I'm not a primary school student." Qiao Li shook her head, and said cautiously: "Leave this matter to me, and I will contact you in time. Don't get too emotional."

Li Kai understood what she meant by "impulsivity", and smiled: "I am not a primary school student either, don't worry, there is no news from you, I will not accept interviews with reporters."

"Let's make a verbal agreement. If you violate it, the share of this album will be cancelled." Qiao Li was noncommittal, but Li Kai has a criminal record. The first single sold out in a single week. She specifically told her again and again, and Li Kai agreed. Yes, in the end, as soon as he turned around, he let go of himself, slapped four songwriters in the face, and brought along two second-tier singers.

Li stared blankly for a moment, this is too cruel, the sales volume of this album will definitely exceed the previous single, and the sales volume will exceed one million.
"Okay." Under Qiao Li's relentless gaze, Li Kai still compromised. He is not stupid, and the situation is unclear at the moment. If he accepts an interview, he will only get deeper and deeper and cause trouble for himself.

After Qiao Li left, Li Kai called Xu Qianqiu back.

As soon as the phone was connected, Li Kai announced his name. On the other end, Xu Qianqiu said in a calm voice, "I know you are in the album promotion period, and I didn't want to disturb you, but after thinking about it, I still need to remind you."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a while, and then said: "A few hours ago, Time Records announced that your album is a lyrical slow song series. "Qilixiang" and "Norwegian Forest" are just works of your inspiration. The company respects you My own wish was added to the album. Whether it is true or not, Time Records made the decision for you, or it communicated with you in advance. Remember, you must not express your position publicly, otherwise, it will Offended a lot of people."

Li Kai digested in silence for a while, then hummed: "I understand."

"Wait, Lao Mo wants to talk to you a few words"

Xu Qianqiu said something, the other side was silent for a while, and soon came the voice of Fengmo: "Boy, recently, many people cheered for you, but you must not feel that you owe them anything, they just I want to take advantage of the big sales of your album and try to break the current pattern of the music scene.”

After a pause, the conversation suddenly changed: "Of course, those who cheer for you, although they have their own goals, they still add to the success of your album. You can't deny this. , reputation will stink, you understand?"

Before Li Kai could answer, he continued, "It's not uncommon for the company to speak out for artists. No artist, but if the artist himself speaks out, the nature will change, remember, keep silent, silence is golden."

Li Kai is very clear that Xu Qianqiu and Feng Mo are looking forward to the break of the current music scene, and Feng Mo even went to battle in person to cheer for him. He thought that the company's arrogance to speak for him would arouse Xu Feng's dissatisfaction with him. Dissatisfied, but not wanting to.

Both of them advised him to keep silent and put his own safety first, which made Li Kai's heart very warm.

This is the real friend!

Don't they want Li Kai to fall to their side?Of course he wanted to, but he knew that it would make Li Kai offend many people.

This is to prevent Li Kai from sacrificing himself for their wishes and even their interests.

"I know it in my heart." Li opened his breath.

After the call was over, Li Kai met Su Ting, the security guard, and the driver.

The four of them hailed a taxi, but Li Kai didn't go to the hotel, and got off the bus halfway. He hadn't seen his parents and sister for a long time, and he was really missing him. He was going home tonight and gave them a surprise.

However, before Li Kai could surprise his family, the family gave him a surprise first.

Standing at the gate of the familiar new village, Li Kai was stunned. On the walls on both sides, there was a big red letter "demolition".

On the first day of rebirth in this world, when he returned home and saw the dilapidated outer walls of the rows of houses in the new village, Li Kai had the idea of ​​how good it would be if they were demolished on wheels.

In that way, the housing conditions of the family can be improved, and a large amount of savings can be saved, which is incomparable with the future generations on the earth, but it is no problem to squeeze out 10 yuan and give him a record at his own expense.

In this way, he can avoid the "dark road" that is not far away before the road.

Of course, now that he has gained a great reputation in the circle, the demolition is just the icing on the cake, but it is always a good thing.

A girl walked past with raglan shoulders and walked straight towards the new village.

About 1.6 meters tall, wearing a thick padded jacket, carrying a small but heavy schoolbag, following the girl's brisk steps, two shofar braids rippling behind her head.

Li looked at the girl's back, lost his mind, and then laughed.

At five o'clock in the late winter and early spring, the sky was already dark, not only the street lights were on, but how could he not recognize this familiar figure from the back.

Li Kai shook his head silently, followed up on catwalks, and slapped the girl on the left shoulder, but he was on the right.

The girl paused, turned her head to look, and found no one, then quickly turned her head to look to the right, and what caught her eyes was Li Kai's pressed palm.

The girl didn't even have time to dodge, Li Kai's palm stopped abruptly in front of her face, and then he curled his fingers, giving her a headache!

"Ah!" The girl exclaimed in pain, and then heard a voice of laughter and cursing: "You have no conscience, you don't even know me."

Hearing this familiar voice, the girl looked startled, then stared at Li Kai with wide eyes.

Li Kai was also dressed thickly, wearing a hat and a mask, but the girl recognized him quickly with his exposed eyes, and a burst of ecstasy filled his face!
The next moment, he rushed towards Li Kai, his small fist was on Li Kai's shoulder, he pounded his chest repeatedly, and said with resentment: "Li Kai, you are willing to come back, you big liar, you promised to come back once a month Yes, you didn’t even come back for Chinese New Year, you’re a big singer now, I thought you didn’t even want your home anymore.”

Li Kai let her vent, a doting smile squeezed out of his eyes, and he rewarded her with a brainstorm.

Who else could the girl be besides Li Ran?
Li Ran vented for a while, took off her schoolbag, and unceremoniously stuffed it to Li Kai, rubbing her forehead while walking, pouted and said: "You will bully me as soon as you come back, why don't you come back!"

Li Kai smiled, weighed the weight of the schoolbag, and said, "Why is it so heavy, school hasn't started yet."

Li Ran curled her lips: "I didn't perform well in the final exam. I only got eleventh in the class. My parents were cruel and enrolled me in four courses. Half of this winter vacation is spent making up lessons."

Li Kai thought for a while, then said: "Girl, I will find a way to transfer you to Shenzhen City, so that the pressure of the high school entrance examination will be much less, what do you think?"

Li Ran's eyes brightened. The ratio of high school students in the four major first-tier cities is much higher than that of ordinary provinces.
"Really?" Li Kai was skeptical, seeing Li Kai nodding, he was a little entangled: "It's good, it's just"

"Just what?"

"I have a very good relationship with Jiajia and Xiao Mo. If I transfer schools, won't I see them."

"Don't worry, this matter has not been written yet. Even if you transfer to another school, you will have to wait until you are promoted to the third year of junior high school, and you will have to discuss it with your parents later."

Li Kai patted her on the head and didn't continue the topic.

Ni Houdao came to Nanshi yesterday. This morning, he went to the TV station to finalize the matter of Li Kai singing two songs at the Yuanzhong Festival party. In the afternoon, he contacted a few acquaintances in the circle, had dinner together, and Went to KT bar.

I asked for a booth and served a few bottles of expensive wine.

Those acquaintances in the circle toasted Ni Houdao one by one, with a hint of hospitality on their faces.

When he left at the beginning, Ni Houdao was burdened with the notoriety of wanting to speak and not knowing gold and jade.

After Li Kai's album, Ni Houdao will most likely become a gold medal producer.

A senior producer of a first-tier record company has no weaker status in the circle than an associate music director of a second-tier record company, and a gold medal producer is comparable to the music director of a second-tier record company.

Ni Houdao and the others drank and chatted. At nine o'clock, the resident singer took to the stage. A male singer sang three songs in a row. The response was mediocre. Next came a band.
"Back then, Xu Qiaoling sang on this stage, and the bar owner was going to introduce her to me. I thought her voice was average, so I rejected her, and even gave her an evaluation that she would be a third-tier singer even if she made her debut."

Tong Xia is the deputy music director of a second-tier record company. She felt a little sad, patted her face with her hands, and laughed at herself: "Thinking about it now, I was really blind at the time. Now she is a little queen, and everyone in the circle is optimistic about it. The future is expected to be closed."

A person beside him pushed him, and he glanced at Ni Houdao out of the corner of his eye.

Tong Xia thought of something, shut up quickly, with a slightly embarrassing expression.

Ni Houdao saw it, but he didn't care at all. He drank his wine and said slowly, "Xu Qiaoling, that's because I met a noble person."

Said, inexplicably sighed.

In a sense, he is also responsible for Xu Qiaoling's achievement. "Short Hair" was put in front of him first, but he pushed it away blindly, while a female singer under him was I like "Short Hair" very much.
"Shanlan, what's the situation now?" Ni Houdao raised his eyes to look at one person, it was his former colleague, Monson.

Monsong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the stage, and seeing that Ni Houdao didn't understand, he said, "Shanlan was originally a third-tier player, and the performance of that album was not satisfactory. After you left, she was assigned to the deputy The director lowered his head, and he had an unhappiness with Deputy Director Long, which was hidden away. A few days ago, I came here with some friends and saw her singing on top."

Ni Houdao's pupils shrank: "No way, Shanlan's contract with the company is still more than two years old. Before that, there was an album with a sales volume of nearly 40, which is in the middle and upper reaches of the third line. Ideally, there must be a price of [-] to [-] for commercial performances, and the little girl is not lazy, and she can earn hundreds of thousands for the company every year."

Monsong shook his head: "I don't know the details. Deputy Director Long is the big boss' confidant. He insisted on hiding in the snow, and the big boss nodded."

Ni Houdao fell silent abruptly, his chest felt a little stuffy, from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Shanlan was the only one he owed to the original owner's family.

Even in the week before he left, Jiang Shanlan pretended not to see him several times when she saw him, and he wasn't angry at all, instead he felt a little bit more guilty.

As time went by, after the band, another male singer took the stage, and then a female singer stepped onto the stage. Ni Houdao recognized Jiang Shanlan at a glance.

After she finished singing three songs, another guest asked for another song, and after she finished singing another song, Ni Houdao got up and walked over slowly when she left the stage.

"Shanlan."

"Ni, Mr. Ni."

The two looked at each other with unspeakable complexity in their eyes.

Ni Houdao asked: "I heard that you were hidden by the company?"

Jiang Shanlan's face darkened, and she nodded slightly.

Ni Houdao asked again: "What Long really meant, why did you offend him?"

Jiang Shanlan pursed her lips, but did not answer.

Ni Houdao understood her temper, so he didn't ask any further questions. He stared at her for a while, his eyes froze suddenly, as if he had made a major decision, he took a breath and said, "Shanlan, I missed you at the beginning, I apologize If you want to continue singing, I can help you."

Jiang Shanlan didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him blankly.

Ni Houdao organized the language: "Singing in a bar, that is an underground singer, you are a professional singer, this is not your stage, your contract with the company should be more than two years, I will try to buy it out for you, and then Re-sign with a record label."

Jiang Shanlan was stunned, her face full of disbelief, and after a while, she said: "The penalty for breach of contract is more than 200 million, Mr. Ni, I know you are at Time Records now, and your relationship with Deputy Director Qiao is also very good, but "

Shaking his head, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I'm just a third-tier singer. In the past, I could be considered as a third-tier singer. Now I'm afraid I can only be considered a third-tier lower-tier singer. It's impossible for Deputy Director Qiao to help me pay liquidated damages, and Time Records can't agree."

Ni Houdao did not deny this, but nodded and said: "Indeed, if you mention this matter to Qiao Li, she will not agree, and even if she nods, she will not be able to explain to the company."

After all, the topic changed: "But as long as one person nods, don't say you are a third-tier, the liquidated damages are two to three million, even if you are just a newcomer, the liquidated damages are 300 million, Qiao Li will agree, and the company will not Anyone object."

Jiang Shanlan was startled, subconsciously asked: "Who is it?"

"Li Li!" A flash of determination flashed in Ni Houdao's eyes: "If I ask him, he probably won't refuse."
