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

Chapter 327 Ambition
Jolly is a sharp woman.

In front of Li Kai, he made a phone call and communicated with the other end for less than 10 minutes. After hanging up, he said, "I'll ask, and I will reply before I get off work, but don't expect too much. There is exactly one month left, and the ad will be launched two weeks in advance at the latest, even if the ad proposal for Bai Jinbao has not been finalized yet, it must be in the final selection stage just like Brain Bricks."

Li Kai hummed: "It depends on luck."

Then, he thought of something again, and said, "By the way, Tan Guangyue has already approved an album project. One song will feature 3 points, and one and two will feature 5 points. You can sign an agreement with his manager."

Tan Guangyue's first album has two titles, and Li Kai enjoys 3 points. At that time, Li Kai was just a songwriter. Now, with himself, He Jingyun, and Ning Lan's albums, they have broken three times and three platinums. For a famous songwriter, the price or share ratio of the work will naturally increase.

This has nothing to do with personal relationships, but represents his worth.

Joely responded.

One p.m.

Ade's new album release conference was held at the North Square of the Art Center, and tomorrow night's concert will also be held at the Art Center's inner hall.

33 media were present.

On the rostrum, there were five people sitting side by side. They were the director of the marketing department of Shuteng Records, Ade's manager, Ade, Su Ting, and the deputy director of the marketing department of Beka Records.

Su Ting announced in public that the promotional fee for Ade's new album is 150 million, and it will be jointly released by Suteng Records and Becca Records!

As soon as the news came out, it caused quite a stir in the circle!

The total cost of 150 million is the minimum standard for super-first-line, and the publicity fee alone is 150 million, even compared to Liu Mingliang who released the film in February, and Murphy who released the film in March, it is not too much.

It can be said that if Huacan fails to win platinum, Huacan will definitely lose but not gain. In addition, the release of two records at the same time is equivalent to additional distribution channel resources. In the history of the domestic music scene, there are only a handful of them.

It can be seen that Hua Can has high expectations for Ade's new album.

In the record market this week, including Ade, there are a total of 14 singers releasing films. In terms of fee standards, 6 of them have reached the first-tier, and 2 have reached the top-tier. record, and left the previous record far behind.

That night, Adelaide's new album with the same name and the first hit "Thirty Thousand Feet" was broadcast twice in rotation on radio stations in 6 places across the country, the second golden 9 o'clock and the golden [-] o'clock.

Ade himself appeared on the Shenzhen City Entertainment Channel, an exclusive interview column at 8:[-] prime time.

Saturday, eight o'clock in the morning.

Li Kai, Qiao Li, Zhang Linxiao, the driver, two security guards, and a group of six met downstairs in the company and drove to the airport.

After Qiao Li became Li Kai's agent, she mentioned the candidate for an assistant twice, but Li Kai was vague. Qiao Li saw that his attitude was a little negative, so she didn't mention it again. She will do it for her. When she goes out for commercial performances, she has an extra income as an assistant, so she asks her secretary Zhang Linxiao to act temporarily.

Arrived at the airport at 08:30, passed the security check, and waited in the departure hall for nearly 10 minutes. At [-]:[-], I boarded the plane.

Li opened the window, and Qiao Li sat next to him. After taking off, Qiao Li said with a side face: "Yesterday you left early, and the advertiser called me back before get off work. Bai Jinbao's advertising case has not been finalized yet. The other party expressed their willingness to take your advertising plan as one of the candidates, and the details need to be interviewed, Bai Jinbao's headquarters is in Shenzhen City, we will go there next Monday afternoon, do you have any questions?"

Li Kai shook his head: "No problem."

Qiao Li hummed: "Alright then, I'll finalize the deal with the advertiser when I get off the plane."

"it is good."

At this time, the stewardess pushed a dining car over. After asking Li Kai, Qiao Li asked for a cup of orange juice and a cup of coffee, handed the orange juice to Li Kai, and changed the subject: "Tao Liang is holding a fan meeting at the Meiqi Theater tonight." , I came to Shenzhen City yesterday afternoon, invited me to have dinner, originally hoped that I would invite you."

Seeing Li's face turned sideways, she explained: "Before I transferred to Time Records, I was the deputy music director of Dimei Records. Tao Liang was a singer under me. At that time, he was just a newcomer who released a single. The monthly sales of the song list are more than 20, which is a good result, especially in a second-tier record company, which is regarded as the target of the company's promotion."

"After the album project was established, when he was selecting songs, he was very fond of a submitted work. He made an appointment with the other party, and the other party asked for 2 yuan, and the other party was just a senior student in the composition department of Nanshi Conservatory of Music. He had no other works before, so he was considered a virgin. According to the price standard in the circle, the ceiling price for a newcomer’s work is 1, and in the end I found the boss and used my year-end bonus as a guarantee to buy that song and make it the third hit of the album.”

"And that song is "Sad Rain", Tao Liang's famous work, and that album finally broke the platinum sales. As a result, Tao Liang was able to transfer to Rolling Snow Records, and I also benefited from this, transferring to Time Records. "

A flash of understanding flashed in Li's eyes: "I heard Teacher Ni said that Tao Liang was once your subordinate and was able to succeed. You are his half-benefactor, so that's what happened."

After all, he was a little puzzled and said: "Then why didn't you transfer to Rolling Snow with him?"

Qiao Li said: "It's possible to transfer to Rolling Snow, but I can't take the position of deputy music director. I can only be Tao Liang's producer, which is equivalent to a senior level in Rolling Snow. I have self-knowledge. There is a big gap with those senior musicians."

Li opened his eyes and said: "Then you can transfer as his manager. He is the Little Heavenly King, and as Little Heavenly King's manager, his income must be higher than that of the deputy music director of Time Records."

Qiao Li glanced at him, and joked: "The Little Heavenly King is no match for the Uncrowned King. He is also serving the master, so he must find someone who is stronger."

Li Kai was amused, and after laughing, he nodded solemnly: "That's right, you are more realistic, and you value money more."

Qiao Li rolled her eyes, a person with an annual income of tens of millions, saying that a person with an annual income of one million is realistic and values ​​money very much, isn't it very speechless?

Well, Qiao Li got used to it, and returned to the original question: "I probably guessed the purpose of his wanting to ask you to have dinner, so I found an excuse to push you away. It turns out that it is similar to my guess. He I intend to ask you to be his guest on the winter tour, but I didn’t say anything about asking you for a song, but I can tell that I have this intention.”

Just mentioning it, he continued: "In addition, we also talked about some things in the circle, which benefited a lot. Huacan's influence on the circle is much greater than I imagined."

Li blinked, didn't answer, and waited for the next sentence.

"Huacan has released videos so far, and six of them are newcomers. As you can see, the number of newcomers who have released videos has increased sharply recently, and male and female groups have sprung up one by one. There is also Su Ting's line in the interview' Treat newcomers like heavenly kings and queens', now that a singer releases a film, there is no fee that does not exceed the standard, and the records of newcomers are all made in millions of dollars."

"This is imitation that can be seen on the bright side, but the internal adjustments of various record companies that cannot be seen are also very huge. Take Rolling Snow Records as an example. Now everyone feels the crisis. Even Tao Liang This is no exception, because the increase in their total album fees is not large, that is, the second-tier breaks through to the first-tier standard, and the first-tier rises to the first-tier top-tier standard. The company pays less attention to them than newcomers. could be marginalized."

"Not only Rolling Snow Records, Wager, Becca, Huilijing, and even the oldest brand Nisso are making similar internal adjustments."

"At first, I thought that Rolling Snow's investment in Time Records and using Time Records as a test field was just a special case. Now I know that it is a common phenomenon, and the adjustments made by major record companies are different."

"That's what I said, Huacan's influence on the industry is much greater than I imagined, and she is already subverting the original singer structure."

Speaking of this, Qiao Li paused, stared at Li Kai, and said deeply: "You said that Huacan was just starting out, with little funds, poor singer conditions, and had to seek a difference to survive. Have you ever thought that other record companies would not hesitate to After going all out to fight and imitating, without this strange word, how will Hua Can survive in the future?"

"Is it really going on like this all the time, treating newcomers like heavenly kings and queens? Or, simply push the salary higher and higher, and increase the record fee of newcomers to 200 million, 300 million, or even 500 million in the future?"

"Everything has an upper limit. If the upper limit is exceeded, the company will not be able to make a profit. If it is also losing money, can Huacan survive the big record companies?"

After asking three times in a row, Li Kai could hear the worry in her tone, and it was easy to think of the release of Ade's new album yesterday, which cost a total of 150 million promotional fees. To put it bluntly, it was called Adelaide's album One Two The three main hits are Li Kai's works. If you ask for songs from other songwriters in the circle, the starting price for the three songs is 60, plus other songs, and the expenses incurred during the recording period.

The total cost is afraid that it will not be less than 220 million!
220 million, already surpassing Liu Mingliang and Murphy's total cost for the album.

As Qiao Li said, everything has an upper limit that cannot be broken, otherwise it will be unprofitable, and unprofitable also means that a company is in a state of loss!
Huacan's foundation is weak, and compared to losing money, she must die before the giants and some first-line record companies.

"Sister Li, treat the newcomer like a queen. In fact, you have reservations about this point of view. You just kept it in your heart and didn't bring it up, right?"

Li Kai said: "Yesterday, Ade released a new album, and the promotional fee was as high as 150 million. In addition, I had a meal with Tao Liang and learned more information in the circle. In your opinion, Hua Can already has the means to survive." Worry, that’s what I have to mention, right?”

Qiao Li just looked at him and didn't answer. Silence meant acquiescence.

Li Kai was also silent. After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and shook his head again: "Your prediction can't be wrong, and it can't be all right."

Qiao Li was a little confused: "What do you mean?"

"Treating newcomers like heavenly kings and queens is nonsense. The truth is that the treatment Huacan gives newcomers is the treatment I think newcomers should have."

Qiao Li seemed to understand a little bit, but she didn't understand. Li looked at her and said: "In my opinion, the current record market still has great potential, and it is too slow to tap this potential by improving the quality of records. Rely on capital to dig."

Qiao Li's eyes flashed: "You mean, Hua Can's high-profile is intentional, to attract others in the industry to follow suit, and the overall cost of releasing films for singers will increase, so as to prop up the entire record market."

Approval flashed in Li's eyes: "That's right, didn't you say that the music association is likely to raise the singer's level standard, which already reflects the expansion of the entire record market, and what Huacan is doing is just adding fuel to the flames."

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and said, "My prediction is that the domestic record market will double in half a year, which is not a fantasy."

In the previous life on Earth, with the improvement of the income level of Chinese people, around the new millennium, the record market in the mainland expanded greatly. At the peak, Jay Chou's record sales reached 500 million. Finally, because of the popularization of the Internet, MP3 completely replaced The launch of the Walkman and smart phones really had a fatal impact on the recording industry.

The country of Hua in this world has a population of 15 billion, which is more than that of the previous Earth, and the record market also has a piracy protection period that the previous Earth did not have, and the extent of piracy is much smaller than that of the previous Earth.

Under such circumstances, in Li Kai's view, it is not impossible for a single album to sell 10 platinum, but in the current circle, three platinum is a super high sales volume, and four hundred gold is almost the ceiling.

If he was just a singer, he wouldn't have too many thoughts, but now that he opened a studio, he obviously has the earth in his previous life as a reference, and the market has huge potential, but he doesn't want to make progress and settles down with the situation. It is in line with the nature of people to go to high places!
Qiao Li was shocked. It is not impossible to double the domestic record market, but within half a year, this is amazing!
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the vibration of Anxin, she said word by word: "I didn't expect that your ambition is so big."

Li Kai was a little speechless. It was clearly vision, but it was said to be ambition. Well, ambition is ambition. If you start a company without any ambition, what future does the company have?
"Serve an ambitious master, it will be more promising, isn't it?" He spread his hands and smiled a little teasingly.

Qiao Li looked at him, smiled, and nodded generously.
