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

Chapter 230 Invisible Wings
"First Dream", Fan Weiqi's first masterpiece, a classic among inspirational songs.

The lyrics describe that when people encounter difficulties and setbacks, as long as they stick to their original dreams and recall the efforts they made to realize their dreams, they will never give up lightly, which has deeply resonated with countless fans.

There are many cover versions of this song, and its popularity has not diminished for more than ten years.

At the beginning, Xu Qiaoling was excluded at Tianyi Records, and because of the song "Short Hair", she insisted on overthrowing the original recorded single, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the leaders.

Under the great pressure in her heart, she took Li Kai as the object of confidance, and confided her poor situation on the phone. Li Kai sang a part of the lyrics of this song as encouragement.

At that time, she forced herself to be silent on the other end of the phone, but her tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Her current situation is quite different, but at this moment, she was still so touched that she couldn't restrain herself, and her eyes were slightly red.
After singing a song, Li Kai exhaled slowly, pulled his emotions out of the artistic conception of the song, raised his eyes and said, "How do you feel?"

Xu Qiaoling avoided Li Kai's gaze, sniffed her nose sideways, and nodded with a smile: "I like this song very much."

Li Kai smiled and nodded silently.

The recording of this song lasted from one o'clock in the afternoon to more than eight o'clock in the evening.

After the end, Li Kai proposed to have a midnight snack, but after a busy day, Xu Qiaoling and his party were a little tired, and wanted to rest early, Li Kai didn't force it, and took them to a nearby three-star hotel.

After they opened the room, Li Kai took his leave and left the hotel. He was lazily stretching his body when he heard footsteps behind him. Looking back, it was Xu Qiaoling who came out.

Before Li could open his mouth, Xu Qiaoling said, "I'm a little hungry, shall we have supper?"

Li opened his eyes and said, "Didn't you say you were tired?"

"After walking for a while, I'm not tired anymore." Xu Qiaoling took out a mask from her pocket and put it on, blinking mischievously.

Li Kai asked others without spoiling the scenery, nodded and smiled: "Okay, let's go to a Xijiang restaurant on Yeshi Street?"

"it is good."

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the place, asked for a small private room, ordered four dishes, plus a bottle of beer and a glass of fruit milk, and the two chatted while eating.

"After the two award ceremonies, I have been running all over the country, except for a trip home after the new year. I stayed for more than ten days, and there were at least two commercial performances almost every weekend."

Xu Qiaoling talked about her own situation, complaining about hard work, but she was in high spirits.

Li Kaixiang pretended to be shocked, and said sourly: "You have a monthly income of seven figures, but I am an unemployed person. This person is not better than that. If I compare, I will choke to death when I eat and drink water." The urge to die."

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks and chewed vigorously. After swallowing, he swallowed half a glass of beer in one gulp.

"Forget it, I've worked so hard, and I haven't made as much money as you lying down." Xu Qiaoling rolled her eyes at him, and suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that the five giants want to poach you, and Time Records has already done so." It’s settled, but you don’t agree, Xuezang, you are trying to force you to submit, isn’t it true?”

Li Kai was a little surprised: "Who did you listen to?"

"Sister Fang, she also heard rumors in the circle. There are several versions, and this one is the most reliable."

Li opened his eyes and nodded: "The reason is very complicated. What you said should be one of the reasons. To be honest, even I don't understand everything."

Xu Qiaoling didn't delve into it, she was silent for a while, and said, "Then what are your plans?"

"It's wasted."

"How about, when your contract with the company expires, we will open a studio together. I will invest and you will take care of it."

Li stared blankly, looked at Xu Qiaoling's sincere eyes without jokes, and said slowly: "My friend and I invested in Huacan Music Studio."

Xu Qiaoling was stunned: "So you opened this studio."

Li Jing hummed: "One of my brothers is a legal person, my original assistant and producer, one is in charge of company management, and the other is in charge of the music department."

Xu Qiaoling was silent for a while, and then said: "What about the initial investment?"

"My family jumped in."

"Who else invested?"

"My assistant."

"He Jingyun didn't invest?"

Seemingly realizing that this question was a bit abrupt, Xu Qiaoling paused, and then said, "And Ning Lan, you didn't ask her to invest?"

Li shook his head: "The start-up funds are enough."

Xu Qiaoling snorted, bit her lips lightly with her white teeth, then bit her lips again, and said, "I want to invest."

Li Kai smiled wryly: "I didn't tell you before, I just didn't want to attract investment."

Xu Qiaoling opened her mouth to speak, but Li Kai quickly said: "My assistant is the general manager of the studio, and I just made an exception and asked her to invest 16 yuan. The other managers are all motivated by dry stocks. If you really want to invest, wait After the studio develops, it will be upgraded to a joint-stock record company, and we will discuss it at that time."

Hearing what Li Kai said, and seeing Li Kai's apologetic eyes, Xu Qiaoling didn't insist anymore, and nodded reluctantly: "Okay then, but if you have financial difficulties, you must tell me, otherwise you won't treat me as a friend."

Li smiled and agreed.

After eating, the two of them didn't return according to the way they came. Instead, they made a big circle and took a walk to digest food.

In Shenzhen City in mid-to-late May, the highest temperature during the day has exceeded 25 degrees, but at night it is only [-] or [-] degrees. When the wind blows, it brings a little bit of coolness.

Li saw that Xu Qiaoling was wearing a little thin, so he put his coat on her. The two talked and laughed for more than half an hour before returning to the hotel.

"I've made up my mind. When my contract expires, I will join your studio." Before parting, Xu Qiaoling suddenly said something, leaving Li Kai speechless. Xu Qiaoling and Daishi Records have a three-year contract, and there are two years left many
"I'm fine, as long as you don't think the studio is small and don't feel condescended." Li Kai responded casually, waved his hand, and watched Xu Qiaoling enter the elevator, then turned and left. When he went outside, a gust of night wind came, Feeling a little cold, I just remembered that I forgot my coat.

He patted his forehead, laughed at himself as forgetful, and looked up, a taxi was coming, he quickly stepped up and stretched out his hand to stop it.

The next day.

Recording starts at eight o'clock.

For the first title of the album, Li Kai gave an inspirational folk song "Invisible Wings".

One of the representative works of Zhang Shaohan, known as the little queen, the Earth in the previous life.

Whether it is the beautiful melody or the meaning of the lyrics, this song gives people hope, warmth and stability.

Producer Mr. Wang, originally worried that the two main songs of the album were inspirational songs, which would give the audience a sense of repetition and cause counterproductive effects.

However, after listening to Li Kai's singing, this worry disappeared immediately.

"Invisible Wings" jumps briskly and is a warm and inspirational song. Correspondingly, "The First Dream" is more sharp and straightforward.

One is hot and the other is cold, forming a sharp contrast, but it is also full of power to infect people's hearts.

After 7 hours, the recording was completed after three o'clock in the afternoon.

The plane ticket was booked for [-]:[-] pm, Li Kai invited everyone to have breakfast and dinner.

After six o'clock, Xu Qiaoling and his group got into the commercial vehicle they had arrived in, and drove into the traffic flow under Li Kai's waving hand.

on Monday.

At the regular meeting of the department, Qiao Li announced the sales list of last week.

Su Yaqing gave up the top spot for three consecutive weeks and was replaced by a third-tier singer, Cai Kangcheng.

Last week, he recommended two new songs on the two charts. His album's second hit hit stopped at the fifth round, while his first hit hit both charts and passed the two charts, with sales of 128346.

The second to fifth are the top four last week, Su Yaqing, He Jingyun, Ning Lan, at one o'clock in the morning.

Among the sixth to tenth, there are two non-lyrical slow song singers.

They are the eighth place, 52719, and the ninth place, Hua Yurou, 50928.

Among the top ten, non-lyrical slow song albums occupy four places.

The 5 singers released by the company in May are all ranked outside the top 22. Among them, Zhang Wenxin is the highest ranked, 32918, and Lin Yue is the lowest. The album was released for three days, and the sales volume was only more than 8 copies.

And the two with the ugliest faces here are Chen Guang and Chen Qian.

Chenguang's album was released at the end of April. As of last week, it has been on the market for 29 days, with a total sales volume of 176823. Converted according to the ratio, the total sales volume is 30 copies in 18 days in a single month.

20 copies per month is the bottom line for second-tier singers, and Chen Guang is [-] short.

Don't underestimate the [-] copies. Under the bottom line, according to the company's practice, if the sales are over three months, the production at the factory will be stopped. This means that the sales volume in March will be this album final sales volume.

In all likelihood, it is less than 30 copies!

In the conference room, the atmosphere was heavy.

Qiao Li closed the folder, her face was cold and serious, her eyes rolled around, and finally fixed on Gao Dongliang.

Gao Dongliang's heart rose unconsciously, and Qiao Li said indifferently, "At the end of April, I made a statement in advance. If there is still no change in May, then I will be held accountable."

Gao Dongliang's expression tightened, and he said with difficulty: "Mr. Qiao, in May, the entire record market, lyrical slow song albums are generally in a downturn."

Qiao Li waved her hand and interrupted: "I said at the time that this is not a reason."

As he spoke, he took a deep breath, and his tone sank: "Mr. Gao, there are six singers who were originally scheduled to release the film in May, but Chen Guang mentioned the end of April, including half of your singers."

Qiao Liqu pointed to the folder: "Now, as a second-tier singer, Chen Guang's monthly sales are less than 20. I don't need to tell you what it means."

Gao Dongliang certainly understands what it means. After SHF went solo, Chen Guang's two consecutive albums hit the street, or the big hit the street. Whether it is the performance company or the company's positioning of him, he has been downgraded to the third line.

"Chenguang's album title is the song that the company paid a lot of money to arrange with big names in the industry. Originally, it was hoped that Chenguang would stabilize the second-line through this album, and even take a step forward, but in the end, instead of rising, it fell."

Qiao Li's eyes were sharp and her tone was cold: "Besides, the sales of Zhang Wenxin's first single exceeded 30 in March. Originally, the company expected her to jump into the second tier with this album, but now, it's been released for two weeks. The total sales volume is less than 5 copies, not to mention entering the second tier, and the middle and upper reaches of the third tier, I think it is enough."

"As a leader, you have an unshirkable responsibility. A resolution has been passed at the high-level regular meeting before, asking you to write a written material and submit it to the General Management Department, and then wait for the company's punishment decision."
