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

Chapter 252 The New Era of Music

Zheng Guangming took a deep look at him, and said softly: "I heard it from a friend, it's about six or seven."

The chief financial officer's heart sank suddenly. Zheng Guangming's style has always been to use eight points very hard. He said six or seven points, so it is likely to be nine out of ten.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the fear and uneasiness in his heart, the Chief Financial Officer nodded his head, looking at Mr. Ren from the corner of his eye.

Mr. Ren was stunned for a moment, his face had regained his composure, but his inner anxiety was no less than that of the Chief Financial Officer.

Repurchases can be big or small, and there are default rules in the circle. The lower you go, the looser it is, and the higher you go, the more forbidden it is, especially the node where the singer's level improves.

For example, a rookie singer, whose first album has sold a total of [-] to [-] copies, and the record company buys back another [-] to [-] copies to promote it to the third tier, no one will care about this.

Even if the Music Association finds out, it will turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. After all, the repurchase is real money, not real cheating.

But if a second-tier singer hits the first-tier, and the monthly album sales are tens of thousands of copies away from the default platinum, the record company will help him achieve it by buying back. Once it is verified, the consequences will be serious.

In addition to the invalidation of the singer's own records, the music association will also notify all record companies in writing that the singer's reputation in the circle is considered ruined.

In addition, the singer's employer will also be named, warned and fined.

Deng Yaxuan, as a young queen, must be within the restricted area. The reason why Mr. Ren dared to repurchase it was that Deng Yaxuan's failure was a foregone conclusion. Repurchasing 10,000+ tickets would not have any impact. A default platinum, will not cause special attention.

Secondly, he has reached a deal with someone from the five giants. In other words, even if the five giants see through it, they will not break it.

In this way, all risks are minimized.

But now the truth has come out. After all calculations, she would never have imagined that she would be implicated by the abnormal sales of Xu Qiaoling's album. Misfortunes never come singly!

Mr. Ren knew very well that Zheng Guangming would not make something out of nothing, he struggled for a moment, his eyes froze, and he made a decision: "What Lao Li said makes sense, since Deng Yaxuan's album was clarified at the beginning, 120 million per month is the bottom line , failed to achieve, Gao Dongliang bears the responsibility of leadership, and it is hard to shirk the blame, so let’s temporarily transfer to the logistics department, retain the rank, and serve as the first deputy director. As for Deng Yaxuan, let’s hide it for the time being.”

Everyone was a little surprised. They thought that between Gao Dongliang and Deng Yaxuan, Mr. Ren would keep one no matter what, but they didn't want to be so decisive!

But accidents were accidents, no one raised any objections, they all acquiesced.

Mr. Ren looked at the HR director: "You go to the regular meeting of the music department and announce these two decisions."

The personnel director nodded yes.

Afterwards, Mr. Ren looked at the marketing director: "After the meeting, a press conference will be held to announce the company's hiding of Deng Yaxuan. The sooner this matter is the better, it cannot be delayed."

The marketing director froze for a moment, then nodded yes.

At the subsequent regular meeting of the department, the director of personnel appeared and announced two decisions on behalf of the company.

Gao Dongliang's face was ashes, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He took office for less than three months and became the shortest-lived deputy music director since the establishment of Time Records.

Deng Yaxuan and Gong Rihong looked shocked. They thought that if the company made a decision, it would be Qiao Li who would inform them in private before making an announcement.
At the same time, the marketing department vigorously held a press conference, announcing that Deng Yaxuan was hidden by the company.

As soon as the department's regular meeting ended, Deng Yaxuan and Deng Yaxuan went straight to Qiao Li's office. The news they got was that the press conference had ended for a quarter of an hour, and everything was a foregone conclusion!

at lunch time.

Li Kai, Tan Guangyue, Lin Yue and others gathered around a table in the cafeteria.

Lin Yue sighed: "I never expected that the company would hide Deng Yaxuan in the snow. After all, she is also a little queen."

Wang Xiaotian also said with emotion: "Yes, she can contribute at least a few million profits to the company a year."

Tan Guangyue didn't like Deng Yaxuan very much, and she gloated a little: "It's what you deserve. Seeing that Sister Ning succeeded after being proclaimed, and her pink eye disease broke out, I don't even think about what kind of material I am. Now that I'm fine, I will suffer the consequences."

Zhang Wen said weakly: "Brother Tan, will you announce your next album as king?"

Tan Guangyue was choked heavily, her expression changed a few times, she suddenly reached out and hooked Li Kai's shoulder, and said firmly: "Gongxuan is the king, so I will be the king, I have someone behind me to support me."

Li opened his face and looked at him: "I was also hidden by the snow, I don't mind if you come to accompany me."

Tan Guangyue was choked again and gave a dry laugh.

On the other side, in Chenguang's lounge.

While eating, Chen Guang said in his mouth: "At the beginning, I told you not to curry favor with that woman, but you insisted on hugging her thighs, and you still had plausible arguments. From the way you look at people, I really don't complain when I'm in the current situation. .”

"Bang!" Chen Qian slapped the lunch box in her hand on the table again, and said coquettishly, "What do you mean? If you speak in a strange way, blame me."

For a long time, facing Chen Qian, Chen Guang couldn't be tough, but today he straightened his back, met Chen Qian's angry eyes without avoiding, and said in a deep voice: "Don't blame you? Who do you blame? You always say it's good for me, for me Well, in the end, you confessed to that woman, but offended Li to the point of death, with your kind of eyesight, whoever acts as a manager will be punished!"

Chen Qian's face was livid, she stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Okay, then you can change your manager."

With that said, he shook his head and walked away.

As the news of Deng Yaxuan being hidden by Xuezang spread, the turbulent people in the circle finally settled down.

The focus of the media is also back to the topic: the advent of a new era in the music scene.

Since April, non-lyrical slow-song albums have appeared one after another, and until last week, after nearly three months, the dispute over genres has basically come to a conclusion!
Last week's sales table, among the top ten, there are six non-lyrical slow song albums, which is enough to show that the unified pattern of lyrical slow song has been broken, and the music world has officially entered a new era.

However, there are different opinions on the definition of the new era.
Before leaving get off work, Xu Qianqiu and Li Kai made a phone call, and at nine o'clock in the evening, Li Kai came to Ye Yimeng bar.

Card holder No. 3.

Li Kai, Xu Qianqiu, Feng Mo, and a middle-aged man who is nearly forty years old, introduced by Feng Mo, named Wang Xian, is a songwriter who is good at folk songs.

Feng Mo said carelessly: "Last week's sales table ranked in the top ten, and non-lyrical slow songs accounted for [-]%. It can be seen that the music world is about to start a pattern of competing genres, and the rise of rock is the most powerful. It is one of the next mainstream, even the most mainstream.”

Wang Xian has a different opinion: "Old Mo, you are too subjective. Recently, several bands have performed well, but in terms of sales, they are platinum by default in a single month."

Since April, a total of five bands have released albums, all in the style of rock and roll. Four of their albums have achieved gratifying results, all of which exceeded 40 in a single month, and one of them broke gold.

However, as Wang Xian said, such results are not bad, but they are not outstanding. It is still too early to say that rock and roll will become the mainstream of the music scene in the future.

Feng Mo refused to accept it and said: "Everything is an accumulation, accumulated over time, in July and August, as far as I know, several rock bands under the five giants will release films, and they may rise in one fell swoop."

After finishing speaking, he smacked his lips and said, "And I also heard that several old rock bands are likely to come back."

Wang Xian was stunned for a moment: "Metal bird, soaring to the sky?"

Feng Mo nodded, then shook his head: "Xiangtian probably won't, the metal bird is very likely, back then, that was the golden signboard of Rolling Snow Records."

Xu Qianqiu squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "Even if the metal bird comes back, if it still maintains the original style and there are no new changes, as long as the original popularity supports it, I am not optimistic."

He pondered for a while, and then said: "To be honest, the direction of the music world is still very vague. The system of lyrical and slow songs cannot be maintained, but it is still the absolute boss. Just watch the albums of the kings and queens. It is still stable. They are stable double platinum, I guess, and the prelude to the summer concerts that will kick off soon, their box office will not shrink much compared to last year."

After all, look at Li Kai: "What do you think, don't patronize drinking."

Feng Mo and Wang Xian looked at Li Kai together, and Wang Xian smiled and said, "Li Kai, although you are a rising star, no one in the circle dares to ignore your words."

Li opened his eyes and blinked: "You are flattering me."

Wang Xian shook his head: "Where, do you know how many musicians in the circle are studying your works?"

Li Kai didn't need to answer, he said deeply: "Since your debut, you have made more than 20 songs. Frankly speaking, the songs are all good songs, but to be able to become a big hit, apart from the quality of the songs themselves, has nothing to do with your judgment on the trend of popularity. , it doesn't matter."

Both Xu Qianqiu and Feng Mo secretly nodded to these words. In fact, many people in the circle knew in their hearts that the system of lyrical slow songs was broken, and the source was Li Kai.

Li Kai smiled, but did not deny it: "Yes, since 93, lyrical slow songs have become the absolute mainstream. After 4 years, they have reached their peak. They can be called classic works. If there are not 50 songs, there will be thirty or forty. It is even more difficult to break through.”

"Yes, I will try to add other genres to my own album."

Wang Xiandao: "Then Lao Mo said just now that rock and roll will rise and become one of the mainstream music trends. What do you think?"

Feng Mo looked at him and grinned: "Folk Song also had a record that sold well recently, and achieved platinum by default in a single month. Will Folk Song also rise and become one of the mainstream?"

Li Jian looked at the two people who seemed to be a bit different, couldn't help laughing, and was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't think there is anything absolutely mainstream in the music world, and any genre will have a place."

Xu Qianqiu narrowed his eyes and said: "You mean, the music world will be in chaos?"

Li Kai rolled his eyes, what is chaos.

He corrected: "Pop music itself is for entertaining the public. It should be colorful and colorful. It should be called diversification. The diversification of genres and the diversification of singers' styles."

Xu Qianqiu narrowed his eyes even tighter, and there was a look of deep thought in his eyes.
