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

Chapter 226 Chain Reaction
Qiao Li sat down, and only said that the meeting was over, without any further gossip, she pushed away the folder and began to announce the sales list of last week.

First, Su Yaqing, 128318.

Second, He Jingyun, 101827.

Third, Ning Lan, 92178.

Fourth, Murphy, 81302.

Fifth, cool strikes, 72109.

Sixth, Cai Kangcheng, 69162.

Seventh, Tao Liang, 67193.

Eighth, Red Whirlwind, 64281.

Ninth, Li Kai, 63192.

Tenth, Fan Zhilong, 61103.

Reported out one by one according to the rankings, everyone's expressions petrified little by little, and when No.10 finished reporting, they were all stunned!

Li Kai released the film in early February, and the album has been on the market for fifteen or six weeks. Mo Fei, He Jingyun, and Ning Lan released their film in March and the album has been on the market for more than ten weeks.

Su Yaqing, Tao Liang, Dazzling Strikes, and Red Whirlwind have also passed the piracy protection period.

During the piracy protection period, there are only Cai Kangcheng and Fan Zhilong.

Cai Kangcheng is a newcomer to Becca Records. In the second week of the album’s release, the first hit is a tear-jerking love song, and the second hit is a folk song. Last week, two new songs were recommended on the two charts. The second hit stopped in the fourth and fifth rounds respectively. The first major hit is the sixth round of the Billboard, and the Golden Melody Billboard is cleared.

And Fan Zhilong's sales are basically the same as last week.

This is not a shocking sales table, but a dumbfounding sales table.

Qiao Li let out a sigh of relief and continued to report No. 11 to [-].

Fan Zhilong, ranked 6th, sold 1 copies, and a quasi-second-tier ranked 4th, also sold 2 copies.

The difference is ten places, and the gap is less than 2.

Chenguang ranked thirteenth, with more than 5 copies, a drop of nearly 1% compared to last week.

A quasi-second-tier who released the film last week, the album will be released in 6 days, and the sales volume will reach 2.

He strongly praised newcomer Zhao Rui's album, which sold only 4 in 1 days after its release.

And a newcomer at the same time as Chenguang, sold more than 1 copies last week, and sold 5 copies in 19 days after being on the market. There are only 4 days left in the piracy protection period.

There is no dark horse soaring into the sky, no gods suppressing it, and no piles of bones, but there are wounded everywhere!
From March to now, in just two and a half months, 12 singers under the company have released albums, except for Ning Lan, the sales of eleven albums have been sluggish.

The meeting room seemed to be shrouded in a cloud.

In the ensuing discussion, the four deputy directors and seven or eight singers expressed their opinions, summing up a total of four reasons.

First, the trend of fashion has changed. From April onwards, among the singers who release films every week, there are at least one singer and as many as three singers. The album focuses on genres other than lyrical slow songs.

Although the ratio is not high, the results achieved are quite impressive.

Among the top ten in the sales list last week, the red whirlwind is coming, and Cai Kangcheng occupies three seats.

Second, there are so many singers. The number of singers released every week in April has increased significantly compared to March. Since the end of April, the number of singers released in three weeks has almost caught up with the total number in April.

Thirdly, the company's singers were targeted by Shuteng Records again and again.

It's not one-on-one, but two-circle one, and even three-circle one.

The above three reasons are relatively objective, but the fourth point is a bit superstitious. It was proposed by Tan Guangyue. It seems to be a cold joke with a hint of irony.

That is, Li Kai was hidden by the company.

Li Kai joined the company at the end of August last year. Before being hidden by the snow, Li Kai's single was a big hit in September, Ning Lan's single was a big hit in October, Tan Guangyue's album was a big hit in December, and Li Kai's album was a big hit in February this year. Open's album was a hit, and in March of this year, Ning Lan's album was a hit.

After being hidden in the snow, not to mention another hit album, there is not even a record that has achieved the expected sales.

But it was this fourth reason that caused a series of chain reactions in the company.

After the meeting, Deputy Director Luo came to Qiao Li's office and complained about the cost. In the past, the music department was divided into four small departments. In the small departments, any singer who broke 40 yuan in a single month would receive an extra reward. This reward It is not distributed to individuals, but in the hands of the deputy director to supplement other singers in the small department.

But now, the sales of the entire music department are sluggish one after another. Not to mention him, even Qiao Li has extremely limited extra resources, and those limited extra resources must give priority to guaranteeing key singers.

In this way, for newcomers and third-tier singers to release films, they can only be stuck with the corresponding fee standards, and the chances of reaching the expected sales are greatly reduced.

Qiao Li understood what Deputy Director Luo meant, and she was urging her to discuss with the top management, either to allocate additional resources, or to release the snow cover for Li Kai.

Needless to say, the former needs to have enough food to lead troops. The latter was more or less inspired by Tan Guangyue. The small department can't be assigned, but now that there is a director, the entire music department can be exposed to rain and dew.

However, Qiao Li, who knows what's inside, knows that Mr. Ren is interested in Li Kai's transfer liquidated damages, so how could he easily release Xue Zang?
During lunch, Chen Guang and Chen Qian quarreled fiercely in the cafeteria in front of everyone.

Chen Guang blamed Chen Qian for insisting that he release the film ahead of time, and also blamed Chen Qian for being obsessed with ghosts, which offended Li Kai. Now that Li Kai's prophecy has come true, it was Chen Qian who ruined him, and Chen Qian scolded Chen Guang for not being a man. The poor sales were all her fault.

Finally, Chen Qian ran away crying.

After lunch, a third-line singer who was scheduled to release the film this week went to Deputy Director Lu's office and asked to postpone the release of the film. The fourth factor was mentioned, and he said that he would rather believe what he had or not, which made Deputy Director Lu very angry!

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Kai was competing with the treadmill in the gym, and Lin Yue and Zhang Wenxin walked over together.

Seeing that the two women hesitated to speak, Li Kai asked doubtfully, "Sister Lin, what do you need from me?"

Lin Yue looked at Li Kai, then at Zhang Wenxin, and said, "Wenxin's release date is this Wednesday, and mine will be release next Monday, but the current situation, the company has eleven singers in a row, and the album sales It's lower than expected, and it's much lower. I discussed it with Wen Xin and wanted to delay the release of the film, what do you think?"

Li opened his mouth and said: "Sister Lin, what advice can I give on this kind of thing?"

Lin Yue said, "Asu originally released the film in March, but you suggested that he postpone it."

Li opened his eyes and understood, shook his head and said: "My work has been banned, and singers who will release their films in May will definitely not have an album featuring my work."

Zhang Wenxin blinked: "You mean, we still release the film according to the original schedule?"

Li Kai's head was full of black lines, how do you understand this?
Seeing the two girls staring at him eagerly, as if they wanted him to give a correct answer, Li Kai hesitated for a moment, sighed in his heart, and said: "Didn't it be said at the meeting that the company's singer was targeted by Shuteng Records?" , it is best to avoid this kind of muzzle.”

The two women looked at each other, hesitated a little, and nodded slightly.

Before get off work, the two girls went to Gao Dongliang's office.
Tuesday night!

Special training in January, the last batch is over.

Li Kai went to the studio. To his surprise, apart from the three girls, the other male and female singers did not come. It was obvious that they had voluntarily given up the opportunity to sign a contract.

This time, after listening to the songs recorded and sung by the three girls, their singing skills have improved a lot. Li opened his head and nodded, and then chatted with the three girls for a while.

The name of the group is: Youth Charm.

The short-haired girl is called You Xiaoxia, half a year older than the other two girls, and is the captain. The other two girls are Liu Susu and Meng Wei.

"At present, there are very few girl groups in the domestic music scene. In my impression, there are no second-tier ones. Since you have decided to debut as a group, you must be prepared to be the first to eat crabs."

Seeing the three girls nodding one after another, with firm eyes, Li Kai went on to say: "I have two requirements for you. First, as a singer, you must constantly improve your singing skills. Therefore, you must not let go of your daily singing practice. Second, except In addition to improving your singing skills, you must also pay special attention to the stage effects of live performances. This is a major advantage of being a girl group. You all have a foundation in dancing, so don’t let it go to waste.”

Li Kai just clicked. Specifically, he had already explained to Ni Houdao, and then handed over the pre-prepared song to them.

"A Thousand and One Wishes"

This song is an absolute representative work of the girl group 4INLOVE from the previous life Earth. It was very popular at the time. The lyrics are full of girls' sweet dreams and hopes for the future. It matches the voice, image and temperament of the three girls very well.

After chatting with the three girls, Li Kai went to Ni Houdao's office.

"You are free. I am exhausted these days. Three singers, plus a girl group now, equals four singers. The film will be released in June, and I am the only producer in the studio."

Ni Houdao had a bitter expression on his face, and Li Kai listened patiently to his complaints, and at the end, he said a word of relief: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and those who are capable will work harder."

Ni Houdao rolled his eyes, and immediately said, "Are you planning to just keep these four singers for now and stop recruiting?"

"Of course we will."

Li Kai rubbed his forehead with some nerves: "However, Shen Guanchang gave me the latest two tapes. The singers in them are not very good. Two of them are reluctant. I went to the bar to listen to it last Sunday night, but I didn't see one of them." ,One."

As he spoke, he shook his head, and continued: "For a company, new singers are the fresh blood of a person, and they need to be constantly replenished in order to flow smoothly, and now the wind direction of the record market has begun to change, which is much faster than I expected. It's much faster."

Ni Houdao's eyes flickered a few times: "In April, two bands emerged, and in May, a singer appeared again, both of which are genres other than lyrical and slow songs."

"I have a feeling that in June, more non-lyrical and slow song albums will be released, and when the summer holidays arrive, there may be a climax."

Li Kuang nodded thoughtfully: "I agree, the change of fashion trends will not be gradual. When it comes, it will be like a rising tide. Therefore, we must hurry up and seize the tide. The number of singers should at least double compared to now. .”
