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

Chapter 202
"Li Kai's contract period is two years, and there is still one and a half years left. Even if he no longer releases an album, but only runs commercial performances and endorsements, it will be 1 million yuan, which is a net profit of 5 million yuan. The company's annual profit last year It’s only a little over 750 million, including Li Kai’s and Ning Lan’s singles, and Tan Guangyue’s album, so it’s worth 1 million less profit.”

"The profit of tens of millions is still second. After all, 12 songs, plus a little diva, and a second-tier potential, in the long run, it can't be considered a loss, but compared with Li Kai, as long as Li Kai releases another album, nine out of ten will break the record." Double Platinum, maybe at the end of the year, they will be crowned king, and if Ning Lan succeeds, the company will have two super-first-line, and it will take two years if it is as long as it takes, and it will be as short as one year, and it will be able to advance to the ranks of giants just like the snow that year. As long as the conditions are favorable enough, what's the difference between Li Kai's transfer and contract renewal? It's better to be familiar with it."

"What Mr. Ren said is not unreasonable. You can't overestimate the quality of Li Kai's works. His previous works were good, but they were also awarded double platinum, and none of them were top-tier or super-tier-one in the same period. His album can reach the default Quite 20 gold, that's five songs in one album. This week's Ning Lan and He Jingyun's album, the media is very popular, and there are many people in the circle who are optimistic, but after all, there are no two charts, and they want to explode. , Difficult, the 25 mark may be broken, but [-] should be the ceiling. After Ning Lan is sealed, I can see it. From my point of view, the level of his works is between the ordinary works and masterpieces of those famous songwriters in the circle. between."

"Let me tell you a fair word, and I'm panicked in my heart. Li Kai has been in the company for more than half a year, and his contribution to the company is obvious to all. Even if there are some violations, it shouldn't be a result of being hidden. It's too chilling."

"Hey, Mr. Zheng, why didn't you say anything at the meeting? If you object, the resolution won't pass."

"Ren is always at the helm. Besides, Li Kai's extraordinary contract was approved by Mr. Ren himself. It is the limit for me not to support it."

"The company has grown from the second line to the top line, and then to the top line. Mr. Ren has always been wise, but this time, I feel a little bit, a little bit, and I hope Ren is always right."

After the meeting ended, everyone talked and sighed.

Eleven people attended the meeting, ten people voted, two abstained, and four were in favor and against. This is the most controversial resolution passed by Time Records in the nine years since its establishment.

Even the marketing director who voted in favor at the meeting went to the general manager's office after the meeting and had a private conversation with Mr. Ren for more than half an hour. When he left, he looked troubled.

Mr. Ren leaned back in the executive chair, looking a little tired. Passing the resolution was only the first step, and there was still one more step to go, and even more critical, that was the explanation to the music department.

On the board of directors, he can only talk about his interests, and he can force a vote if he has different opinions, but he can't do it for the music department, he must speak with reason.

The more than 30 singers in the music department are the foundation of the company's survival. People's support determines the company's fate!
After the original director resigned, the position of the director was vacant for two years. The four deputy directors all enjoyed dry shares, but only Qiao Li held the shares. This [-]% of the shares was won by him on behalf of Qiao Li.
It's ironic to say that Qiao Li was recruited by Mr. Ren, and he has always regarded Qiao Li as a confidant, but this time, the most difficult person to confess to is Qiao Li.

on Monday.

Deputy Director Luo, Deputy Director Lu, and Deputy Director Luo were notified to go to the general manager's office as soon as they arrived at the company.

Mr. Ren was already sitting in the reception sofa area, and had made Kung Fu tea. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point.

Hearing that the company decided to hide Li Kai in the snow, the three of them were so shocked that they could not speak. Their reaction was within Mr. Ren's expectations, and he unhurriedly gave three reasons.

First, Li Kai has repeatedly violated the company's regulations by accepting media interviews without permission, and speaking recklessly, which offended many influential figures in the industry. These people collectively put pressure on the company to severely punish Li Kai.

Second, Li Kai is too selfish, disregarding the overall situation of the company, the solo SHF, including Liu Guang, released films in November and December last year, the sales were not satisfactory, resulting in a loss of popularity, to a large extent, thanks to Li Kai .

But when the company suffered huge losses, Li Kai personally gained both fame and fortune, making a lot of money.

Third, in order to preserve his personal reputation, Li Kai pushed Xiao Ping to take the blame. Such a despicable character was criticized by many people in the circle, and it also aroused public outrage in the company. They wrote letters demanding justice for Xiao Ping. Li Kai is severely punished!

After finishing speaking, Mao Xingyu, Chen Guang, Chaoyang, two second-tier top performers, or themselves, or the materials written by their agents were spread out in front of the three of them.
Li Kai went to work on time. The resolution of the board of directors had not yet been transmitted within the company. The atmosphere was as usual. In the office area, everyone gathered together in groups of three or five, enthusiastically predicting last week's sales.

Li saw Su Ting and Tan Guangyue were there, so he turned in.

"Brother Zhang, if it wasn't for your friendly reminder, I would have already started preparing for the funeral." As soon as Li Kai appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Asu was the first to rush up, with a tearful expression on his face.

Cantonese records have always had a saying that one fire will kill one piece.

During the same period, including before and after, among all the Cantonese albums released, as long as there is a big hit, the other sales will be suppressed.

For example, in December last year, He Jingyun's single single made Wu Qiyuan's album sell well for six or seven weeks in a row, but there was a big dive, and it was even unsalable for about a week, which shows that it is not so good!
Wang Yanfen released the film ahead of time, He Jingyun soared into the sky, if Ah Su was at the same time as them, he would definitely die ugly, even in the next week, he would be half dead!

Asu still has this self-knowledge.

Li Kai patted his shoulder and joked, "As long as you don't blame me for making you lose a chance to transform into a big black horse, that's fine."

Asu smiled wryly, and everyone was speechless.

The big dark horse, in the domestic music scene in recent years, in the field of Cantonese records, He Jingyun is the big dark horse, okay?

Tan Guangyue said loudly: "Li Kai, tell me, how much will Sister Ning's sales last week be?"

Li opened his hands and said, "How do I know?"

"Estimate."

"It should be more than 10."

This answer made everyone roll their eyes.

At this moment, Li Kai's copying machine sounded "Didi". He took it out and looked at it, his eyes flashed strangely, and then he slapped his forehead. Then he remembered that there was still a copying machine that did not come back in the morning. He gestured for a phone call, turned and left.

When he came to his lounge, Li Kai made two phone calls in a row. After hanging up, he sat down on the sofa with a slightly surprised expression.

Two poaching calls.

The first one is the music director of Becca Records.

The condition offered was that, in addition to bearing 3 million liquidated damages, the singer agreed to exceed the first-tier standard. Among them, the total cost of the first album was raised to the super-first-tier standard, the sales volume reached double platinum, and other terms of the contract were upgraded to the super-first-tier standard as a whole. , even if it does not reach double platinum, the total cost of the second album will be in accordance with the quasi-superior first-line standard, and the contract period will be 5 years.

Li Kai can still retain the autonomy of songwriters, as long as he agrees to write no less than four songs for other singers in the company every year.

The second one is the deputy music director of Rolling Snow Records.

The conditions offered are that, in addition to paying 3 liquidated damages, the singer will meet the first-tier standard. Among them, the total cost of the first album will be raised to exceed the first-tier standard, and the sales volume will reach double platinum. Other terms of the contract will be changed to exceed the first-tier standard. Even if it doesn't reach Double Platinum, the total cost of the second album will be in accordance with the top-tier standards, and the contract period will be 5 years.

Li Kai can also retain the autonomy of songwriters, as long as he agrees, if Li Kai writes a few songs for singers outside the company, he can write a few songs for other singers outside of Li Kai in the company.

Before, Nisuo, Gunxue, and Becca have all offered olive branches to Li Kai, but in terms of conditions, this time there has been a significant improvement, no, it can even be said to be a qualitative improvement!

To be honest, Li Kai was a little moved. Firstly, Time Records let him down. Secondly, from an economic point of view, whether it is the first-tier top-tier standard or the quasi-super-first-tier standard, it is much more generous than his current contract.
However, the 5-year contract period and the loss of some songwriter rights still need to be considered.

"Dong dong dong!" The sudden knock on the door brought Li Kai back from his thoughts, he called in, and when he saw the person who pushed the door and entered, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

It turned out to be Ning Lan. She didn't run promotions all over the country. The company added 70 yuan. She should be on TV everywhere. The live broadcast of the radio station is very busy. Why are you back?
"Ning Jie, a few days ago, I saw your announcement in the newspaper, and I was so domineering for half an hour!" Li smiled and stood up, giving Ning Lan a thumbs up.

"Being hidden by the company, you can still laugh." Ning Lan walked slowly, her face was a little cold, without a trace of a smile.

Li opened his smile unabated, a little more helpless: "It's really good things that don't go out, and spread thousands of miles away."

Ning Lan looked at him and said, "This is not a distant statement."

Li Kai blinked, looking at her cold face, the smile on her face froze bit by bit.

"The board of directors of the company has passed the vote." Ning Lan let out a sigh of relief, and anger flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Qiao received the news last night that we borrowed a car and drove back overnight. Security Xiaoli and the driver took turns driving nine many hours."

Speaking of this, of course Li Kai no longer felt that Ning Lan was joking, and frowned.

Ning Lan said again: "This matter was not announced so quickly. Mr. Qiao only told me. I didn't even tell Sister Li. Don't be too impatient. Mr. Qiao is going to a meeting. After the meeting, Mr. Qiao will always find Mr. Ren Talk, if necessary, I will go with you to find Mr. Ren!"

As he spoke, a firm look flashed across his eyes, and he said word by word: "I will advance and retreat with you!"

Li Kai was slightly startled, how could he not understand the meaning of advancing and retreating?

He is the king of rookies, his first album is guaranteed 11 gold by default, and he has already stepped into the top line with half a foot. Ning Lan's album sold nearly [-] copies in three days after its release. Last week, he beat Zhao Yongkang and was evenly divided with He Jingyun , One of the two rankings is cleared. Judging from this trend, even if the final seal fails, at least it can return to the peak.

A super rookie with one and a half feet into the top line, plus a peak queen, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half of the company.

It's hard to say whether the two of them forced the palace at the same time to change the decision of the company's board of directors.

Li Kai was silent for a moment, didn't say any polite words, just said: "Thank you!"

Ning Lan stared at Li Kai, and shook her head lightly: "Being polite is a way of life."

Li smiled and nodded.

Qiao Li didn't go back to the 9th floor with Ning Lan and the others, but went to the 8th floor first, talked with Deputy Director Lu, and then went up to the 12th floor with Deputy Director Lu.

The company's high-level regular meeting is fixed at 09:30.

When the two of Qiao Li walked into the No. [-] meeting room, everyone was almost there. Qiao Li's appearance surprised everyone, and even Mr. Ren was a little stunned.

Zheng Guangming asked doubtfully, "Qiao Li, why are you back?"

"Today is a free time. Ning Lan wants to come back for a talk show on Xijiang Provincial TV station tomorrow night. I will leave early tomorrow morning." Qiao Li replied flatly, without any expression on her face, and came to her seat to sit down.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.

Mr. Ren took a deep breath, raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Okay, the time is up and everyone is here, so let's have a meeting, Qiao Li, since you're back, let's talk about the promotion of Ning Lan's album first .”

Ning Lan's new album is the top priority of the company right now. Whether it can be released in one fell swoop will have a huge impact!

When Mr. Ren raised the topic, everyone looked at Qiao Li. Qiao Li met everyone's gaze and said flatly, "Everything is fine. Ning Lan is also very confident about this album."

After finishing speaking, the topic changed: "I heard that the board meeting was held yesterday, and everyone on the board made predictions for the albums of Ning Lan and He Jingyun. For the ceiling, is that so?"

With a question in his mouth, he cast his eyes on Mr. Ren who was in the main seat.
