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

Chapter 257 Ultimatum
"Ning Lan, none of the four endorsements have been finalized yet, and there are only three commercial performances in July, August, September, and March. This is not good, the bank."

Li Xia was a little anxious. Ning Lan's tone and expression at this moment were exactly the same as when she decided to retire back then.

Ning Lan frowned and glanced sideways. Li Xia realized that she had slipped her words, and quickly closed her mouth, with a wry smile on her face.

Li Kai sensed something, looked around for a while, and changed the subject for now: "Sister Li, you said four endorsements, the four at the end of March? None of them have been settled yet?"

Ning Lan's album was released in the second week of March, and it already broke platinum in the last week of March, which is equivalent to not being a single month, and it has already been sealed ahead of schedule!

As a result, the advertiser extended an olive branch immediately, and there were four endorsements all at once, all of which were national brands. This is no secret in the company.

The amount of money involved in the brand spokesperson is relatively large, and it cannot be implemented in a day or two, but it will not be delayed for so long.

It's the end of June now, and it's been a full three months!
Li Xia looked at Li Kai, but didn't answer immediately, and looked at Ning Lan again.

Ning Lan pondered for a while, and said: "I pushed the endorsement of underwear, and the endorsement of skin care products. I, Su Yaqing, and He Jingyun chose among the three, and He Jingyun won because the sales of skin care products accounted for 1% of the country. In Guangzhou, Baodao, and Hong Kong Island, He Jingyun's popularity in these three places is the undisputed No.[-] in the circle."

She paused, then continued: "There is one beverage endorsement and one diamond endorsement, both of which are international brands. The beverage endorsement has already been discussed, but suddenly something happened. The head office found an international movie star to talk about global endorsement , I will not be able to make a conclusion until the head office has a clear result. There is only one diamond endorsement left. Because I have just entered China, I must first determine the advertising creative and then determine the spokesperson. The news from the advertiser is currently spreading to the whole world. The society is collecting advertisements, and as for the spokespersons, there are two in total, Su Yaqing and I."

Li Xia hesitated to speak, but finally added: "The four endorsements, in my opinion, are the most promising diamond endorsements, but the advertisers are definitely more inclined towards Su Yaqing."

Li opened his mouth and asked, "Why?"

Both women are queens, and the sales volume of Ning Lan's latest album is much higher than Su Yaqing's. In terms of current popularity, Ning Lan is even higher.

In terms of appearance, although Ning Lan is a few years older than Su Yaqing, she can't tell from her appearance and figure at all. Moreover, Ning Lan is more beautiful than Su Yaqing, and her temperament is more graceful.

In Li Kai's view, from the perspective of advertising endorsement, Ning Lan should be given priority.

"Gunxue Records is a giant, and Time Records is just a front line." Li Xia sighed and only clicked, without further words.

However, Li Kai roughly understood that when there is not much difference in the basic conditions of spokespersons, advertisers tend to prefer Rolling Snow Records.
He didn't ask further, he let out an oh, and returned to the topic: "Sister Ning, I've accepted your favor, guest contract, you don't have to think about me."

After finishing speaking, he quickly said: "I won't hide it from you. Several singers, themselves or their managers have contacted me privately before, wanting to invite me to be a guest at the concert. As for the company, they will communicate, but They were all rejected by me."

Ning Lan looked at Li Kai's calm expression, her eyes flickered slightly, the corners of her mouth moved, she suddenly turned her head and said, "Sister Li, you go out first, I have something to say to Li Kai."

Li Xia nodded and started to leave.

"Since you came in, just sit and stand." Ning Lan pointed to the sofa area, then walked to the cabinet, and asked, "Do you drink tea or drinks?"

"Soda."

"it is good."

Ning Lan made herself a cup of green tea, took a can of soda for Li Kai, sat down beside Li Kai, picked up the tea and took a few sips, and said softly: "Sister Li objected just now, don't take it to heart, She was thinking about me."

Li Kai took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "Am I petty? She is your manager, and it is her duty to do everything for your benefit."

Ning Lan shook her head slowly: "There are some things you don't know."

After a pause, my thoughts jumped, and I said: "My family is in the real estate business. There was a problem with the capital chain the year before last, and I had a large loan from the bank. In the past two years, the real estate has not improved. I have been helping to repay the loan. .”

She took a sip of tea, raised her head slightly, stared at Li Kai and said, "I only told you before that I needed to make some money, but I didn't tell you the reason. In fact, the reason why I came back was to help Even my cousin doesn't know about the family's repayment of the bank loan, only Sister Li knows about it."

A flash of enlightenment flashed in Li's eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the earth in his previous life. The mid-to-late 90s was the real estate winter, and many real estate bosses fell down at that time.

This world is similar to the earth, and real estate is also at this stage. However, Li Kai bought two houses before, and later sold one, equal in and out.

Judging from this, the winter of real estate should be coming to an end, and then, it is time to slowly return to spring.

"I have some savings with me now, enough to pay off the loan for a few months, so Sister Li's worries are unnecessary."

Ning Lan emphasized that Li Xia had slipped her tongue before, and she didn't want Li Kai to misunderstand, so she told the truth, and immediately fixed her eyes, and said: "I still stick to my decision, this time, we will advance and retreat together, if you take me As a friend, then don't refuse, okay?"

Seeing Ning Lan's sincere, firm, and inexplicably anxious eyes, Li Kai was a little speechless. He used this trick on Su Ting, and Su Ting returned it to him later. Now Ning Lan is also doing this trick
Regarding Su Ting, Li Kai compromised, but this time, it didn't change because of it. He slowly shook his head and said: "Sister Ning, it was because I made a lot of money for the company that some people became active, and finally weighed the pros and cons. , let me end up being hidden in the snow."

"If you force the palace according to your method, and the company compromises, it is also to let me run a business show, make money for the company, and solve financial problems. What am I, Li Kai?"

"To tell you the truth, even if the company wants to lift the snow cover from me, I'm still not happy."

After hearing this, Ning Lan digested in silence for a while, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said: "I understand, then I won't force the palace, but I still won't sign the guest contract."

Li stared blankly for a moment, seeing Ning Lan's unhesitating expression, he didn't try to persuade her anymore, but just shook her head silently.

The two chatted casually for a while, before Li Kai left, he asked one more question: "By the way, what is the name of the diamond brand you endorse?"

"DS."

Li opened his eyes, got up and left the lounge, then called Su Ting and asked Su Ting to check the DS diamond advertisement solicitation.

after lunch.

Li Kai was called by Qiao Li's secretary to the director's office.

Qiao Li didn't go around in circles with him, and said straight to the point: "In the past two days, many singer managers have called, wanting to invite you to be a guest at the concert. Mr. Ren called me to have a chat before, and he basically agreed. It also means that the company will release the ice storage for your commercial performance, but there are only two conditions."

Li Kai looked flat: "What conditions?"

Qiao Li said: "First, in the future, the company's management department will arrange your commercial performances. You can have the right to choose, but you must guarantee more than three performances every month. Second, in the future, if you write songs for singers from other companies, you must Guaranteed to stagger the release of films by more than two weeks with the company's second-tier and above, including second-tier singers."

Li laughed, waved his hands and said, "Let's forget it."

Qiao Li was not surprised, and said lightly: "I know I won't agree, but"

After a pause, his expression became serious, and he looked at Li Kai and said, "One thing, if you write songs for singers under Shuteng Records in the future, try to avoid being in the same period as the singers under the company. After all, Shuteng Records and Time Records are Dead enemy, that will arouse the resentment of all the senior management of the company, do you understand?"

Li Kai frowned slightly.

Qiao Li sighed, and simply made it clear: "Most of the senior executives in the company have reservations about your Xuezang, and Ning Lan is definitely on your side, so this matter may not have a chance, but if you help If Shuteng Records goes against the company, it will be difficult."

Having said that, Li Kai understood that Qiao Li wanted to unconditionally release Xuezang for him. As the company's situation changed day by day and the finances became more and more difficult, a turning point might come!

It's just that Li Kai won't wait for this turning point. From the moment he was hidden by the snow, he has made up his mind that he will never entrust his fate to others, and must control it by himself.

"I understand." He responded briefly, said a few more words, and got up to leave.

Li opened his feet and walked, while Qiao Li went out to the general manager's office.

Knowing Li Kai's refusal from Qiao Li's mouth, Mr. Ren was also not surprised, he snorted, and said: "The company gave him a chance, but he didn't cherish it, so it's no one's fault, he can spend it if he wants. "

Qiao Li said: "Mr. Ren, Ning Lan came to my office before lunch and made it clear that she will do her best to prepare for the winter tour. She doesn't consider the concert guests."

Mr. Ren was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Now the winter tour is at least three months away."

Suddenly thought of something, the voice stopped abruptly, squinted and said: "Is it because of Li Kai?"

Qiao Li shook her head slightly: "Ning Lan didn't say that."

Then, his thoughts jumped, and he said again: "Mr. Ren, if Mao Xingyu and Chaoyang's album sales still do not improve, I will propose at the high-level meeting to release the snow cover for Li Kai."

Mr. Ren's complexion suddenly darkened, Qiao Li turned a blind eye, and said again: "Mr. Ren, don't forget that when the board of directors passed the resolution of Xue Zang Li Kai, it was you who said it for profit."

"And the songs that were invited from the big and medium cafes in the circle were distributed to Chen Guang, Deng Yaxuan, Xiao Tong, Chen Liang, Mao Xingyu, and Chaoyang. If they can't fulfill your so-called benefits, the original decision should be overturned. I believe that many people have the same idea as me in their hearts, they just don't want to jump out first, so I will do it for the early bird!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and said, "I will let you know in advance today, so that you can be mentally prepared. If Mao Xingyu's grades are not good, and you don't want to be too ugly, you know how to do it."

After giving the ultimatum, he turned around and left, leaving Mr. Ren with a resolute back.
