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

Chapter 205 I will no longer be a chess piece
Chen Guang was only in his early twenties, a vigorous young man, who was provoked by Li Kai and became angry.

"Li Kai, you really think you are invincible in the world, don't forget, you are just a little guy, if you want to make me unable to stand up, okay, don't just talk and practice, my album release time is set, just In the first week of May, you can write songs for whoever you want, it doesn’t matter if it’s more than one singer, release videos at the same time, let’s see who beats whom!”

Chen Guang's face flushed slightly, he was a little out of breath, Chen Qian was also angry, and Li Kai seemed to tear his face completely apart when he said this, so what else could he be afraid of?
She said with a cold face: "You are not afraid to flash your tongue when you talk big. In terms of singer status, you are only second-tier. Chen Guang signed a second-tier top-tier contract with the company, which stabilizes your head. In terms of songwriter status, you are just a small coffee. It's more than enough to crush you to death for the first big-name work."

As he said that, he thought of something again, sneered, and said, "By the way, your work has been blocked, and it's unknown when it will be unblocked, and it will take time."

"Shut up!" Ning Lan suddenly said in a low voice, "If you did something wrong, you should be right!"

Both Chen Guang and Chen Qian were taken aback for a moment, seeing that Ning Lan's face was frosty and staring at them coldly, their expressions changed slightly.

Chen Qian gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Ning, it's Li Kai who is aggressive. Everyone heard what he said just now. It's pressing Chen Guang so hard that he wants to ruin Chen Guang's future."

Ning Lan interrupted again: "Then the reason, Li Kai has been in the company for more than half a year and has never provoked others. Why this time, he has to target Chen Guang?"

Chen Qian was speechless, and subconsciously glanced at Qiao Li, but she saw that Qiao Li had the same cold face and indifferent expression!

"I have already said it, and I will never change it. We will see the truth. Your last album only sold more than 10 copies a month. If this record continues to be like this, if you want to turn around, the company will not give you another chance. Like you Such idol singers lose popularity very easily, and after a few years in the third line, they can change careers."

Li Kai pointed at Chen Guang with his finger, and his flat tone gave off a sense of judgment.

"Okay, stop talking, Chen Qian, come to my office after the meeting." Qiao Li sighed in her heart, ended the topic, then pushed away the folder, and glanced at her eyes with lowered eyebrows.

Looking at this shocking sales list, even now, Qiao Li was still a little lost. She raised her eyes to look at Deng Yaxuan and Gong Rihong, then at Chen Guang and Chen Qian, with a very faint wry smile on her lips.

Afterwards, the first to tenth sales tables were announced one by one for about 5 minutes, and during these 5 minutes, everyone felt as if they had entered a fantasy world.

Deng Yaxuan's heart trembled wildly, and with the trembling, the intention to compete with Ning Lan quickly disintegrated, and finally shattered into powder.

The sales of more than 34 copies in a single week were higher than Liu Mingliang's sales in the peak week. Such a result made Deng Yaxuan despair!

Chen Guang and Chen Qian looked at Li Kai again, with a touch of panic in their eyes!
Even in March, when the gods fought, Ning Lan and He Jingyun were still able to stand out. Even the album of Diva Murphy's sales were slightly suppressed.

The root of all this is the title of their two albums, both of which are Li Kai's works!
How does Chen Guang compare with Murphy, Zhao Yongkang, Liu Huiying, and Wang Yanfen?The difference is not an equivalent level, even if it is worse than the tenth, the popularity is not as good.

However, Ping Xiang's sales volume last week was not even 3 copies. What would happen to Chen Guang?The answer is self-evident!

The cruel fact woke them up suddenly. Li Kai's works not only surpassed the third-tier and second-tier, but also included the first-tier, top-ranked first-tier, and even surpassed the first-tier.
"Chen Qian, I want to listen to the truth."

"Sister Li, I, I."

"Did Deng Yaxuan ask you to do this?"

"No."

"Then what's going on?"

"Sister Li, I'll tell you the truth, but you have to promise me that you must never tell anyone that I told you this."

"it is good."

"It's Gao Dongliang, you weren't here last week, the company paid a high price to date seven or eight songs with big and medium celebrities in the circle"

After the meeting, Chen Qian came to Qiao Li's office, hesitated for a while, and after getting Qiao Li's promise of confidentiality, Chen Qian revealed the truth.

After hearing this, Qiao Li thought for a while in silence, shook her head slightly, and sighed inexplicably.

Chen Qian was a little confused and said: "Sister Li, I was a little impulsive at the meeting just now. Sister Ning is right. I made a mistake first. Can you tell Li Kai that I, I can apologize to him."

Seeing Chen Qian's pleading eyes, Qiao Li remained silent. After a while, she exhaled, "Chen Qian, have you forgotten what I said to you on the phone?"

Chen Qian shook her head and opened her mouth to speak, Qiao Li raised her hand to signal to listen to her: "I'll just tell you straight, the reason why I didn't communicate with you in advance, and broke this incident directly at the meeting, is because I hope Li Kai can come back again. Forgive you once, but in the end you also saw that my intentions were seen through by Li Kai, his attitude was clear and firm, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you either."

After all, he picked up the folder and said, "Last week's sales table can be regarded as a special case, but before, as long as it was Li Kai's work, there was no period of piracy. After two new songs were recommended, the sales in a single week were still below 17. Yes, I worked as his temporary agent for a few weeks, so I know him a little bit, since he said nothing, he won't just talk."

"The ban on Li Kai's works, following the fifth round of new song recommendation last week, when he single-handedly swept two charts with four works, the ceiling of 13 songs has been completely broken, and they have already existed in name only. You don't have to doubt this, let alone take chances. "

"As for Chenguang's situation, you know in your heart. Back then, SHF took the idol route. Among the three, Chaoyang was the most popular, Fan Xing had the best singing skills, and Chenguang was the weakest."

Chen Qian is a smart person, so enough has been said, Qiao Li's eyes narrowed, and she gave her final suggestion: "You only have two choices now, first, make the wrong choice, as for the cost of the album, it will be as much as it should be or as much as it is , I will not skimp on this point, but as Li Kai said, if Chen Guang's record does not improve, the company will not give him another chance. Make more money."

"Second, give up this song and make public the fact that Gao Dongliang instructed you. As for the consequences, I can't say for sure. Li Kai may forgive or not, but it is certain to offend Gao Dongliang. Of course, Gao Dongliang wants to take revenge and suppress you. If I sit in this position for a day, I won't ignore it."

Chen Qian's face turned ashen. The first choice, Chen Guang's future is close to death, and the second choice, Chen Guang's future is also boundless. How does she choose?
Qiao Li didn't give her a chance to speak, she waved her hand and said, "Think about it, think it through, just do it."

Chen Qian nodded slightly, turned and left.

Looking at her dejected back, Qiao Li sighed helplessly. This time, she really couldn't help Chen Qian, and what Chen Qian did made her feel a little cold.

For his own selfishness, behind her back the black materials that she handed in to Li Kai, in a sense, it was also a betrayal of her!

This is the second time!

at lunch time.

Ning Lan and Li Kai went to the private room first, followed by Qiao Li.

There was no fourth person, so Qiao Li explained the situation straight to the point. She learned from Deputy Director Lu that there were four copies of the black materials submitted by Chen Qian, namely Chaoyang, Mao Xingyu, and two second-tier top students. .

Mr. Ren persuaded the three deputy directors for a very important reason. Li Kai aroused the public indignation of many singers in the company.

Ning Lan sneered and said, "This is also a reason. To put it this way, more than half of the top five giants are second- and third-tier singers. If they are jealous of top-tier singers, and collectively submit a letter, the company will hide the top-tier singers?"

Qiao Li shook her head: "Wrong, this is not the reason for Xue Zang Li Kai, but the company's reason for Xue Zang Li Kai, in order to calm the hearts of the music department."

Ning Lan digested for a while, and her face became a little ugly!
Li Kai understood the meaning, but didn't answer, smiled and continued to eat.

Qiao Li pondered for a while, and said with a serious expression: "If you want to change the company's decision, the key lies in Mr. Ren. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Once the company announces it, it will be difficult to take it back."

As he said that, he looked at Ning Lan: "Your sales have exploded this week, and the probability of achieving three hundred gold in the first month is already more than [-]%. I will bring you and Li Kai to talk to Mr. Ren, and the chance of success will be higher. "

Ning Lan simply agreed, and then said: "If the company insists on hiding Li Kai, then let me hide it too. There is no need for the company to announce, I will announce it directly to the circle."

Qiao Li was slightly stunned. In the first half of the sentence, Ning Lan expressed the meaning of advancing and retreating with Li Kai, while the second half of the sentence represented a kind of determination.

Once it is announced to the entire music circle, it means that Ning Lan will break with Time Records.

"Ning Lan, don't be impulsive. Things haven't come to this point. Even if the company's internal affairs are hidden, as long as it is not officially announced to the public, there is room for turning around. When you break the platinum in a single month and really reach the default triple platinum, we still have time Chance."

Hearing Qiao Li's persuasion, Ning Lan did not rush to answer, but looked at Li Kai.

Sensing the inquiry in Ning Lan's eyes, Li Kai knew that Ning Lan had handed over the decision-making power to him, swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth, and suddenly said: "I don't think there is any need to ask Mr. talk."

The two of Qiao Li were stunned.

"I won't hide it from you, two people copied me early this morning, one is the music director of Becca Records, and the other is the deputy music director of Rolling Snow Records"

Li Kai drank a few sips of soup, sorted out his thoughts, and then explained the situation of the two giant records poaching him, including the conditions proposed.

Ignoring the surprised expressions of the two, he changed the subject immediately: "I felt strange at the time, my album sold more than 120 million copies in a single month, and it has been more than half a month, if you want to poach me, the call should have come long ago. "

"If it was after the sales report came out last week, it would be understandable, but it happened before the sales report came out, and the two giants got together one after the other."

"Now I figured it out. Behind the company hiding me, it should be the five giants, or some of the five giants played a driving role."

"And last week, the company suddenly had seven or eight works by big and medium celebrities in the circle, which should be the compensation for the five giants to hide me from the company."

"Xuezang's resolution was just passed by the board of directors yesterday. After the five giants learned about it, they immediately started the poaching plan. They were afraid of being one step behind."

"It's a deal!"

Speaking of this, a sharp look flashed in Li Kai's eyes: "Even if the five giants can't poach me, Time Records has lost a rookie king, and the goal has been achieved. If anyone can poach me, it will make a lot of money."

"Time Records lost a rookie king, but there were seven or eight more works by big and medium celebrities in the industry, including the songs brought by Deng Yaxuan. I seriously doubt that it is also part of the deal, so it is not a loss."

"The only person being exploited in this deal is me."

Li Kai pointed to his nose, thinking jumpingly said: "Sister Li, what do you think of the terms of Becca Records and Rolling Snow Records I mentioned just now?"

Qiao Li pondered and said: "If you count the 3 million liquidated damages, it is very generous. If you are a free agent, the requirement for songwriters is an additional one."

Li opened his head and slapped his hands: "Tell me, if I accept, there is only one request. The singer's contract period will change from five years to one and a half years. Will Beka Records and Rolling Snow Records agree?"

Before Qiao Li answered, Ning Lan shook her head and said with a sneer, "One and a half years, the money you made for the company can't even cover the 1 million liquidated damages."

Li Kai hummed in agreement: "That's right, I can't agree. I only signed a contract with Time Records for two years. Now that I'm hidden, my career as a singer will have to take a long detour. If I sign for five years, once Xuezang, wouldn't it just be ruined?"

After all, my thinking jumped again: "Since I joined the company, for a single or an album, I earn one yuan myself, and the company earns at least two or three yuan. If I earn several million, the company will earn tens of millions. "

"I won eight awards at the two list award ceremonies. This is my personal honor. Not only will the company be honored, but the status in the circle will definitely be improved."

"I wrote four songs for Sister Ning. The first one helped Ning Lan climb out of the trough. The last three songs, that is, this album, Ning Lan can not only return to the top, but also hope to go further and step into the Super-first-line, the company benefits, even greater than Ning Jie personally."

"There is also Guangyue. I wrote two songs for him. From a rookie, he jumped to the second line. If he achieves double platinum in a single year, he will go one step further and directly enter the first line. With Guangyue's rookie contract, the company will be rewarded." Lee is much bigger than him."

Li opened his eyes for a moment, and then said word by word: "Sister Li, tell me, do I feel sorry for the company?"

Qiao Li shook her head without ambiguity: "No."

Li Kai said again: "During the promotion period for the first single, I was put on fire, but the marketing department ignored me, but Gao Dongliang called me and asked me to give three songs, so I helped put out the fire. "

"My first single sold well, and I didn't get any preferential treatment. On the contrary, the release of my first album was forced to be postponed. If it was purely because of Chen Qian, I don't believe it. There is also the company's acquiescence behind it."

"My first album, the quota for the Spring Festival Gala, clearly named my name, but the company used it to make a deal with me. If the deal failed, my quota was blackmailed."

"My work was blocked, the company's approval is the first hurdle, and the five giants reached an agreement, which is the second hurdle. Without the first hurdle, there is no second hurdle."

"Again, this time, they simply gave me a snow store. The most direct thing is to destroy my career as a singer!"

According to a regulation, anger appeared on Li Kai's face, his eyes narrowed deeply, and an extremely fierce look flashed across his face: "Sister Li, I have been making money for the company, but the company has repeatedly dragged me down. , and even pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the back."

"You said, should I hate the company? If I retaliate, is it ungrateful or justified?"

Qiao Li was choked, and her expression changed. She didn't agree with what Li Kai said, but she didn't know what Li Kai was going to do.

Li opened his eyes for a moment, with a cold smile, and said lightly: "Yes, I said that there is no need to talk to Mr. Ren. After the talk, if he changes his mind, it will be difficult for me."

"Li Kai, you are right, but you"

Li took a look at Qiao Li, and said slowly: "The incident of Xuezang made me understand a truth deeply. A chess piece is a chess piece. No matter how useful a chess piece is, as long as the benefits are enough, it can still be discarded. I don't want to be a chess piece anymore. To be a chess player."
