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

Chapter 206 Preparation
Although what Li Kai said was slightly cryptic, the two of Qiao Li understood it all at once.

Chess pieces are migrant workers, all the way down to the cleaning staff in the company, and up to the top management, as long as they don't hold shares, they are all chess pieces.

Those who play chess are the shareholders of the company.

In fact, even Qiao Li, the director of each department, is half a pawn. The shares they hold are not even comparable to dry stock incentives. That is to say, most of the annual income comes from part-time jobs, not Divided by shares.

The real chess players are the company's major shareholders, the three vice presidents, and Mr. Ren.

As Li Kai said, a chess piece, no matter how important it is, is only a bargaining chip in the eyes of the chess player.

"Li Kai, it's not that easy to open a record company. Even with third-tier standards, the initial investment would be over ten million. Besides, your singer contract is still over a year away."

Qiao Lidai frowned slightly. Of course, she would not foolishly understand that Li Jian wanted to seek power and usurp the throne in the company. , Li Kai does not have such a condition.

One is the funds, and the most important thing is the contract issue. Before the contract period expires, Li Kai's behavior in the circle will be greatly restricted, otherwise there will be no Xuezang.

Li Kai understood the meaning and waved his hand: "This is just my idea, how to implement it, to be honest, my eyes are still dark."

Qiao Li showed a helpless expression, Li opened her eyes, and said calmly: "Sister Li, in addition to the relationship between the superior and the subordinate at work, I also regard you as a friend, so if you have an idea, you should speak it out, instead of waiting for something to happen." It's a foregone conclusion, and then explain."

Qiao Li was startled, and repeated it in her heart: When you have an idea, tell it directly, instead of waiting for the matter to be a foregone conclusion, and then explain it
Looking at Li Kai's sincere eyes, she couldn't help thinking of Chen Qian again, and Qiao Li felt an unspeakable emotion spread in her heart.

After a while of silence, Qiao Li nodded slightly and hummed lightly.

Li Kai didn't continue this topic, thinking jumping: "Sister Li, I think you really should have a talk with Mr. Ren, but it's not my business, but your own business. You deserve the position of music director." of."

After all, he glanced at Ning Lan.

Qiao Li understood in seconds, she also took a look at Ning Lan, and said speechlessly: "I was hidden by the company but didn't fight for it, but cared about my promotion. Your heart is really big enough."

Li Kai smiled: "I'm fighting for myself, my contract period is still more than a year, if another person takes the position of director, for example, Gao Dongliang, then my life in the company will be very difficult in the future. "

Li Kai's example of Gao Dongliang was just casually mentioned, but after Qiao Li heard it, the corners of her eyes twitched. Gao Dongliang is a confidant among Mr. Ren's cronies. A deputy director is directly assigned to the singer, which means intriguing.

"I know it well." Qiao Li nodded again, with a cautious expression on her face.

After lunch, Li Kai went back to the lounge, called Xu Qianqiu, went to the gym with Su Ting, exercised for an hour, and left the company around three o'clock.

Half an hour later, Li Kai took a taxi to Ye Yimeng Bar. The bar was closed during the day, but the lobby was very lively.

A band was singing on the stage, surrounded by a circle of people below the stage.

"Several resident singers signed up for a singing competition, but they couldn't find a place to rehearse, so they came to my place, ha ha." Xu Qianqiu patted Li Kai's shoulder and pointed to booth No. 3.

The two walked over and sat down. Xu Qianqiu took a bottle of red wine, poured it and said, "Lao Mo wrote a few songs for two rock bands, and released the film in April. During this time, he went to the capital."

Li opened his eyes, took a sip from the wine glass, and said bluntly: "I was hidden by the company."

Xu Qianqiu froze for a moment, with a surprised look on his face. Soon, he regained his composure and sighed softly: "That's right."

Li opened his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, you have foreseen it?"

"Both Lao Mo and I feel a little strange about banning your work. After all, banning is only possible for a while, and it will never last long. This is a thankless task."

Xu Qianqiu narrowed his eyes and said: "And your first album achievement is guaranteed to be [-] gold by default. In the eyes of many people in the circle, you are already the uncrowned king. This is the most taboo thing of the five giants."

"A first-tier record company has become a super-tier one, which means that it has the capital to hit the giants. That's how it was when the snow fell and Hua Ge was promoted to the giants."

"That's why the five giants have the same interests in preventing you from becoming king. As long as they can do it, they will all be willing to pay a price."

"I didn't say it before, because I didn't want to add psychological burden to you, because you can't change this kind of thing, it's just a matter of weighing the interests of Time Records executives."

What Xu Qianqiu said was similar to what Li Kai had already thought of. It played a supplementary role, allowing him to see the essence more clearly. He nodded calmly, and then explained the situation of Becca Records and Rolling Snow Records digging him up. a bit.

Xu Qianqiu snorted softly, and said: "I don't know much about Becca Records, but I agree with the usual style of Rolling Snow Records. First beat people to serious injuries, and then rescue them. It is obviously the person who hurt you, but you are grateful to Dade .”

After all, he raised his eyes and looked at Li Kai: "Are you ready to accept it? Nothing else, the contract period is 5 years, and it is customary for singers to make appointments. They only promise the first two records, and then release albums later. The decision will be in the hands of the company. .”

Xu Qianqiu pointed out the key point, and coincided with Li Kai. This time, the company's mistreatment of him made him realize more deeply the importance of autonomy!
At the same time, I am also fortunate that I still hold the biggest hole card in my hand because of my persistence!

Li Kai pondered and said: "I want to start my own company, I am anxious to find you, just want to hear your opinion."

"Start your own company." Xu Qianqiu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he shook his head decisively: "The music industry is different from other circles. It is not so easy to start a record company. Funds, contacts, channels, how long you have been in the industry, these are all in my opinion. , you don’t even have it, if you really have the determination, Lao Mo and I can help you a bit, but we’ve been away from the core of the circle for too long, so we can only help you very limited.”

Li Kai did not deny it: "I understand that starting a record company is not suitable for me for the time being. I thought, is it possible to open a studio?"

This time, Xu Qianqiu did not deny it directly, took a sip of red wine silently, thought for a while, and said: "The studio is equivalent to the music department of a record company, and there are three key points."

"First, capital, rental space, decoration, equipment, these are not much different from opening a record company, seventy-eight million is just the beginning."

"Second, singer resources. Every record company has scouts. It is very difficult for a studio to win a record company for a well-qualified underground singer. Guo Yifu's studio is the most famous in the circle, but even his work room, the qualifications of the selected singers are also a level lower than that of the first-line record companies, let alone the giants, even if they are cultivated, they will be easily poached."

"Third, the studio does not have a distribution channel, and needs a fixed host, generally speaking, it is a first-line, or a giant."

Li Kai crossed his fingers, thought for a while, and nodded. These three points are very practical problems. To be honest, they are all difficult points for Li Kai today, but they are not out of reach, and he will not give up because of this. !

"Besides these three key points, what other key points are there?"

Xu Qianqiu took a deep look at Li Kai: "There are also a few key points, but it is not impossible to solve them after a lot of effort. Singer pre-training, album recording, you can do it all by yourself."

Li Kai thought about it, and hummed.

In the following chat, Xu Qianqiu talked about the status quo of the studios in the circle, without much substance. After more than half an hour, Li Kai declined Xu Qianqiu's invitation to stay with him for dinner. Before leaving, Xu Qianqiu specially reminded In a word, he is currently in the hands of Time Records as a singer, and he must pay special attention to the terms of the contract. Don't take chances to break the contract, otherwise, you may face a lawsuit.

Regarding this, Li Kai knew it well, said something reassuring, waved his hand and left.

After leaving the bar, Li Kai turned on Xue Bing's copy machine. After Xue Bing called back, the two made an appointment to meet at a small restaurant they often go to.

When Li opened his eyes, Xue Bing had opened the small private room, and the cold dishes were already on the table.

There is nothing to be polite to Xue Bing, Li Kai talked about being hidden by the company, and then said directly: "Last time I asked you to consider whether you want to work part-time or start a small business by yourself. Now, don't think about it, I will If you want to open a studio by yourself, you have to help me."

Xue Bing pointed at Li Kai: "You boy, I just discussed with Xiaopang a few days ago, to set up a barbecue restaurant together and invest tens of thousands of dollars."

As he said, he shook his head and smiled wryly: "Okay, we are a small business, you are a big business, you have the final say."

Li Kai never thought that Xue Bing would refuse, so he took a chicken paw, chewed and said, "It will take a while for the preliminary preparations, it doesn't matter if the house decoration is slow, you and Xiaopang have to help me with two things, first, find a place , with an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters, it can be in the park or a commercial building, you have to ask about the price of buying and renting, and give me the collected materials within a week."

"Second, every night, you and Xiaopang go to the bar, separate, don't go to the same one, each of you brings a walkman, and record a song sung by the resident singer in the bar. It's also a week. Give me the recorded tape."

Xue Bing nodded in agreement without saying a word.

Li Kai thought of something again: "By the way, there is also a decoration company. I will give you a record company decoration case tomorrow. You can ask me a price based on the case. From [-] to [-] square meters, roughly how much it will cost , Ask as many as possible.”

Xue Bing nodded again, it should be.
