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

Chapter 192 Transfer
"Shanlan, this is you."

"Mr. Ni, there is no hope. No matter how many record companies I go to, the result will be the same. I don't want to lie to myself anymore."

"Why do you think so? Who said there is no hope? You didn't hear what Vice President Shi said just now. Wait a few months for a turnaround. A million liquidated damages is not a problem."

"You don't need to comfort me. I understand in my heart that it's just a scene. Li Kai's work was banned, as you said, because he was too sharp and hated by others. How could those who hate him let him His work unsealed."

As Jiang Shanlan spoke, she raised her head slowly, and there was a hint of determination in her blurred eyes: "Mr. Ni, I sang in bars and restaurants for nearly three years before my debut, and now the contract period is only two years left. It's over."

Ni Houdao looked at her, was silent for a while, and then said: "Ning Lan used to be the undisputed third female singer in the domestic music scene. She retired during her peak period. After her comeback, her first album only sold gold sales, and she retired until her comeback. It’s been more than two years.”

Jiang Shanlan's heart trembled, the determination in her eyes was still there, but there was a touch of struggle, she lowered her head again, and after a while, she shook slightly: "Mr. Ni, I know you want to help me, and I am very grateful, but I don't want to help you." For a hope that has no hope, you humbly beg for help everywhere."

Ni Houdao was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "You're overthinking this, I'm Li Kai's exclusive producer now, and I haven't seen the executives of those companies treat me politely, of course, since I'm going for an interview, my attitude is still the same. Get it right."

After all, he took out a pack of napkins from his pocket and handed it over: "Okay, don't worry so much, wipe away your tears, let's go to Shuteng Records now, not in Shenzhen, not in Shanghai, even in Shanghai. Go to the capital again, and show the courage you had when you were rejected by twelve bars in the resident audition, but still stepped into the No.13 bar."

Jiang Shanlan wiped her tears silently, but didn't say a word. Ni Houdao could feel that she was still a little confused, so she walked quickly to the side of the road and stopped a taxi, and then urged Jiang Shanlan to get in the car.

Similar to Time Records, Shuteng Records rented five floors of a 5A office building.

It was almost eleven o'clock when Ni Houdao arrived. After some inquiries, they came to the sixteenth floor of the high-level office.

The little girl at the front desk was chatting with a young man. Ni Houdao came up to say hello. Just as he said he was here, the young man heard that he was bringing a singer for an interview. Here you go, whichever deputy director you made an appointment with, you can go to that floor."

The young man's tone was not very good, probably because he thought he was disturbing his chat with the girl.

Ni Houdao didn't change his face, and reported Li Kai's exclusive producer status, asking for an interview with the general manager or the vice president in charge.
The young man looked suspicious: "Li Kai, Li Kai from Time Records?"

Ni Houdao nodded.

A sneer appeared on the corner of the young man's mouth: "Li Kai is the rookie king. His first album sold more than 120 million copies in the first month. Everyone in the circle called him the uncrowned king. Who would have thought that he would return to the pre-liberation overnight, and even the exclusive producer They all abandoned him and went to join the Ming Lord."

Ni Houdao's face darkened: "Young man, keep your chin firmly in place when you speak, you are not qualified to criticize Li Kai, and I'm not another candidate, I just brought a singer to the interview."

The corners of the young man's eyes frowned: "Li Kai's works are blocked, which is equivalent to depriving him of the qualifications of songwriters. Even if he is not blocked, he is still a small coffee, and I am also a small coffee. Criticize him a few words, so what?"

Seeing the young man's unkind face, Ni Houdao felt annoyed, he was just a small guy, if Li Kai's works hadn't been banned, and you dared to be so provocative, I would take your grandma's surname.

Ni Houdao suppressed the fire and did not argue pointlessly. He turned to the little girl at the front desk and said, "Please inform me."

The young man yelled: "Announce what kind of announcement, bring a singer to the interview, make an appointment first, don't say that you are just Li Kai's producer, even if Li Kai came in person, he does not have his privilege at Shu Teng Records!"

The little girl at the front desk looked at the young man, and then at Ni Houdao, with a look of apology on her face.

"President Ni, let's go." Jiang Shanlan, who had been silent for a long time, tugged at the corner of Ni Houdao's clothes, and Ni Houdao let out a breath of turbid air in his chest, and nodded.

After Ni Houdao left, the little girl at the front desk answered the phone. After waiting for half a minute, the young man lost his patience. He waved his hand and went to the office area. Son, said it as a talking point.

"What are you talking about, so happy?" A heavy voice sounded, and the songwriters who were chatting vigorously turned their heads to look, only to see Cao Meng walking in.

"Teacher." The young man got up and shouted, and then, as if asking for credit, he recounted what happened just now, and at the end, he cursed Li Kai severely.

At the beginning, Cao Meng was slapped across the air by Li Kai. Later, Wu Qiyuan's album dived because of the huge sales of He Jingyun's single. The former album featured Cao Meng's works, and the latter's single was Li Kai's works.

When he thought about it, Cao Meng suffered repeated setbacks at Li Kai's hands, and he must have hated Li Kai to death. Even if Cao Meng didn't praise him, he would definitely approve of his actions, but he didn't want to. Little by little it became cloudy.

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Meng interrupted: "How long have you been gone?"

The young man was stunned: "Less than 10 minutes!"

Cao Meng stared, and suddenly shouted: "Go and chase him back, if you can't get him back, you don't have to come back!"

The young man was taken aback and swallowed: "Teacher"

"Who do you think you are! Li Kai is also the one you have the right to speak out about? Ah! Go immediately, now at noon, the cafeteria downstairs, the restaurants around, look for me one by one, I have to find someone for me return."

After Cao Meng finished speaking, he glanced at the other songwriters: "You guys go too!"

Seeing Cao Meng get angry, everyone responded quickly, and each of them walked like flying.

Cao Meng was left alone in the office area. He took a deep breath, walked back and forth twice, looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and there was a sense of irritability and anxiety in his eyes.

Ning Lan's album sold nearly 11 in the first three days. After discussions at the high-level regular meeting, they came to a relatively unified conclusion that the sales of 11 were mostly due to the TV drama "Blood and Rain in the Rivers and Lakes" being released on Kyoto TV. At the same time, the theme song "There Are Lovers in the World" became popular.

13 ceilings.

Li Kai's previous 12 songs, the first classic, and this song "There Are Lovers in the World", will make 13 songs. As long as there is another classic song, the ceiling will be broken, and the ban on Li Kai's works will collapse in an instant. Definitely won't last long!

And "A Lover in the World" is only the third title of Ning Lan's album. He has already listened to the first and second titles. Although whether it can be called a classic or not depends on the sales volume, but the quality of the song is his own judgment.

At this time, Zhengchou had no chance to win over Li Kai, but the producer took the initiative to come to the door, but he refused to let him in. In turn, he offended Li Kai, and it was more than enough to succeed than to fail. Buy a piece of tofu and beat him to death!
The two of Ni Houdao left the office building and lost their way for a while. When it was time for dinner, they found a snack bar and ordered a bowl of noodles for each of them.

Both of them were in a bad mood, and their appetite was naturally poor. Jiang Shanlan put down her chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls, and made her decision to give up!
She already believed in her heart that this is a hopeless hope. The two record companies before met the high-level executives at least, and they were quite polite, but Shuteng Records didn't even enter the door, and was ridiculed by the young man, It was like the straw that broke the camel's back.

Ni Houdao was very talkative, but this time, Jiang Shanlan's attitude was very firm.

Ni Houdao sighed, and had to change his words to say some comforting words. He didn't blame Jiang Shanlan for giving up lightly and changing places. In all likelihood, he would also be discouraged. After all, Li Kai's works were banned. Unblocking, who can tell?

There were more and more people in the store, Ni Houdao ate the toppings on the noodles, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and waved his hands to show them away. Just as they walked to the door, the three young men ran over.

Ni Houdao let out a muffled sound from his nose, and was about to go out and make a turn, but the young man braked and blocked his way.

"What do you want?"

"Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, Mr. Cao wants to meet you."

Ni Houdao frowned: "Mr. Cao, general manager?"

The young man panted, "It's the creative director of the company."

Seeing Ni Houdao's suspicious expression, the young man was afraid that he would refuse, so he gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry, it was my fault that I offended you with my words before, and I apologize to you."

The 180-degree change in young people's attitudes not only did not dispel Ni Houdao's doubts, but added a bit of caution. Time Records and Shuteng Records are deadly rivals.

It's not that they want to use this to dig a hole and do something famous.

Ni Houdao shook his head: "Forget it, come back after making an appointment next time."

The young man was in a hurry, and another songwriter who came with him said: "Sir, Mr. Cao has no malicious intentions."

Ni Houdao waved his hands, his attitude became more and more determined.

The young man had no choice but to ask Ni Houdao to wait while he called, but Ni Houdao did not refuse.

After a few minutes, the young man walked across the phone booth across the road and told Ni Houdao that Mr. Cao would come over in person and he would be there in 10 minutes!
Because of Ni Houdao's experience, Monk Zhang Er was confused, and Jiang Shanlan was even more confused.

However, since the other party said so, and it was in the public eye, it wouldn't hurt to wait.

In seven or eight minutes, Cao Meng arrived. He was in his 8s and had a fat body. Because he was in a hurry, he was panting badly and his face was a little red.

Ni Houdao was slightly startled. Cao Meng is a top performer in lyrics and music. He has never met himself, but he has heard of the famous name and seen photos in newspapers. He must be right!
Ni Houdao didn't take it too seriously, and took the initiative to go forward and exchanged a few words with Cao Meng. Cao Meng was very polite and proposed to talk to the company. Ni Houdao thought about it, and then explained the situation first.

After Cao Meng heard this, his eyes brightened, and he agreed without hesitation!
A singer who can get two songs promised by Li Kai, let alone a third-tier, is a newcomer with ordinary conditions, and the value exceeds one million.

As long as Shuteng Records is signed, it means that a bridge of communication with Li Kai has been established, and the situation in December last year will never happen again!

Cao Meng agreed so readily that Ni Houdao and the two were stunned.

"In addition to the one million liquidated damages, I can promise a standard contract for second-tier singers." Seeing that the two didn't respond, Cao Meng thought that they still had alternatives, so he raised his stake.

Ni Houdao took a light breath: "Mr. Cao, this."

"In addition, the cost standard of the two albums can be mentioned separately, um, the standard of the second-tier top stream." Cao Meng didn't want Ni Houdao to give an answer like think again, think again, and increase the price again.

As if feeling that it wasn't enough, he gritted his teeth and said, "The transfer will take some time, and accidents are unavoidable. To show our sincerity, we can sign a contract first. The contract states that if the transfer fails, Shu Teng Records will pay 50 in compensation."

When Cao Meng talked to this point, Ni Houdao couldn't bear to let it go, no matter how suspicious he was, he glanced at Jiang Shanlan and said, "Shanlan, Mr. Cao is so sincere, so that's it?"

Jiang Shanlan nodded subconsciously with a dreamlike face.

The group returned to the company, and the contract was finalized within an hour. When they were sent out of the company by Cao Meng and others, both Ni Houdao looked a little dazed. The surprise came too fast, which made them feel unreal, but the contract in their hands was It's genuine, no fakes!
