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

Chapter 357 Return to the original form
"I, what are you kidding?" Li Kai pointed at his nose, shook his head and laughed, "Let me correct two things with you. First, Huacan and I are not equal. Huacan has more shareholders. Second, , the one who makes the most money is not Huacan, ever since the trend of making a lot of money in the industry has prevailed, Adelaide has released an album under Huacan's banner."

Qiao Li said indifferently: "With this record alone, it is the biggest winner. Don't look at last week's sales chart, Becca's singers accounted for three of the top ten. In the past one and a half months, there have been many singers released by Becca's albums." Up to 8 people, the total cost of the record, 4 200 million, 3 150 million, 1 million."

"Currently 4 people whose albums have been on the market for a full month, two are less than 25, two are not satisfied with the default platinum, and the other is on the market for four weeks, and the sales volume is less than 30. None of these 5 people make money, and 3 of them are still losing money. The loss is the same as that of Nie Lyceum's album profits are basically flat."

"Sunshine's album was released for three weeks, and Tidal's album was released for a week, and the sales of the album were only 60 copies, while Ade's album sold more than 70 copies. As of last week, which one is more profitable, Becca or Huacan? "

Li Kai was speechless, you have settled the accounts so clearly, what else can I say, you can't deny yourself, so that you can show your ability.

Before waiting for Li Kai's answer, Qiao Li didn't force her, and said thoughtfully: "When we discussed the upper limit of the cost of records, you said that the record market would expand rapidly under the bombardment of heavy money. Facts have proved this, but with you As expected, the original platinum-selling record will go double platinum, and triple platinum will go five hundred gold, but it is far behind."

As he said that, there was a hint of worry in his eyes: "If it continues like this, it will become a game of competing for capital thickness and the survivor is king, which is very bad for Huacan. After all, Huacan's goal is not to survive, but to grow. "

Li Kai understood what he meant. The so-called thickness of capital, the winner is king. This is the standard industry winter. It is much more difficult and risky to counterattack and grow in the industry winter when everyone is in danger than in the industry spring.

But the question is, is it really a winter in the industry right now?
"Sister Li, the status quo of the record market will definitely be disrupted. I'm quite optimistic."

Looking at his confident expression, Qiao Li asked subconsciously, "How can you tell?"

"If you refer to the box office of last week's concert, you can see the clues."

Li Kai's tone was firm, it was more like a prediction than a guess, and the facts proved his foresight.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, last week's tour box office reference data provided by the Music Association was faxed to the major record companies.

More than 9% of the box office, [-] people.

In addition to Liu Mingliang, Li Jie, Guo Yifu, and Xu Qiaoling, the four kings and queens, there are 5 more new faces. These 5 people released their films last week and toured at the same time. The first stop last weekend was less than 6 people. All the venues have invited big names above the mid-tier and above as guest singers.

And Ade, who had over 8% of the box office in the previous three stops, had a bye last week!
1% to 3% of the box office, 4 person, 3% to 6%, [-] people, [-]% to [-]%, [-] people, [-]% to [-]%, [-] people, less than [-]%, [-] people.

These 6 people include Bingtang Sweetheart, KMG Group, and Wang Kai, the first stop of the tour last week, with over [-]% of the box office.

This is a shocking reference data.

Clearly and unmistakably declared a cold reality, the popularity of those newly rising stars, gathered in a short period of time, is far from enough to support the tour!

The scenery at the first stop was just relying on the appeal of big-name singers. Once lost, Lima returned to its original shape.

The precedent created by Adelaide has not been replicated.

Not only them, Michelle and other three first-tier mid-stream and upper-stream singers also started winter tours one after another. Without big-name singers as guest singers, the box office was not satisfactory.

Although the concert market and the record market cannot be equated, it is undeniable that they are directly related to each other. However, the executives of the major record companies have no time to calm down and think about it. They need to solve the urgent task first!
Huacui Music Studio.

In the morning and afternoon, there was a scene of ice and fire.

After the sales table was released in the morning, the overall sales of the record market rose again, which made people restless, sighing and complaining constantly.

It's like the stock market is going up every day, and you obviously have funds in your hands, but you wait and see with a cold eye, and you don't enter the market for a long time, wouldn't you be anxious to death?
In the afternoon, as soon as the tour box office reference data came out, those complaints stopped abruptly and disappeared without a trace!

Whether it was Lin Yue, the three of them, or Liang Qiumo, they were all silent and trembling in their hearts, with a feeling of joy.

No matter how arrogant they are, they don't dare to hope that other rising star singers will capsize collectively. If they are among them, they will be able to escape safely.

Of course, a week's reference data is not enough to make them completely dismiss their thoughts, but it is enough to make them, as well as some managers and producers related to them, shut up obediently.

But Su Ting in the office didn't shut up, she was on the phone with Li Kai.

"Brother, the tour market was in a mess last week. The new singers who didn't have big names to help out, the box office is very poor, not only them."

Su Ting reported it first, and Li, who had read the reference data, said flatly, "Didn't I tell you earlier that when tour singers get together, it's a group seeking death."

Su Ting smiled bitterly: "But the problem is, Ade is still in it."

After deliberating for a while, he suggested: "Ade's tour has three stops left, especially the Beijing station from October 10rd to 3th. There will be three consecutive shows. I think it is necessary to consider the concert guests."

Li Kai neither affirmed nor denied, but only asked: "Where is the candidate?"

Su Ting tentatively asked, "Sister Ning?"

Li Kai asked back: "Do you want to exhaust her to death?"

Su Ting choked for a moment. Thinking about it, she was right. During the [-]th period, Ning Lan served as a guest at Li Jie Magic City Station. She had two shows in a row, and she also had a variety show on Baodao and Hong Kong Island. There was also a commercial show. Performing, basically changing places a day, and then finding time to be a guest at Ade's concert, it's too much to do!

"Then, are you free?"

"I'm not a singer under Huacan, please let me pay according to the market price. For venues with more than 15 people, 5 spots, and for venues with 50 people, the share will be waived. The price is [-] yuan. Ade's personal income from a single show is all It's not enough for me, or you can personally subsidize the insufficient part?"

Through the phone, I couldn't see Li Kai's expression, but Su Ting could still hear the playfulness in Li Kai's tone, and couldn't help curling her lips: "Then, let me ask singers from other record companies?"

"Yes." Li Kai simply responded, and then said: "A few requirements, the first must be above the middle class, at least Michelle's level, the second must be a rock singer, and the third fee cannot exceed Ade's income , the guest expenses should be borne by the singer, and the rules can't be broken casually."

The middle and upper reaches of the first line, the style of rock and roll, and the cost cannot exceed Ade's on-the-spot income. Singers who meet these three conditions cannot be found in the circle at all.

Su Ting finally understood that Li Kai's attitude was negative at all, and he was trying to fool her.

"I still have something urgent to deal with here, so I'll hang up first."

Su Ting's tone suddenly became cold, and Li Kai's chuckle came from the other end, followed by a click, and then a beep.

Su Ting looked at the phone that was snatched up by the other end, her small face was twisted into a ball, she looked angry and wronged, bit her lips a few times with her white teeth, and snorted angrily: "It's too much."

Suteng Records.

"Don't look for the reason yet, tell me, what should I do?" Wu Han shook the reference data in his hand, frowning, and glanced at the music director, marketing director, Cao Meng, Jiang Shanlan, Cang Ping, and their colleagues. Manager, I feel unspeakably aggrieved.

In two days, Jiang Shanlan will release a new album. The first feature of the album is Li Kai's works, and they will be on tour simultaneously.

Kuradaira's tour will be the first stop on October 10rd.

Originally, with Ade's role model, he had high hopes for both of them, but this reference data made him feel a bit cold.

Jiang Shanlan is still in the third tier, and Cang Ping is only in the second tier. Compared to Bingtang Sweetheart, KMG, and Wang Kai, they have no advantage at all in terms of current popularity or singer rank.

The box office of the second leg of Bingtang Sweetheart's tour is less than [-]%, Jiang Shanlan, why Cangping counterattack?

Cao Meng and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

What else can I do, I am already on the verge of battle, and I definitely cannot withdraw.

"Right now, the only hope is the guest singers." Cao Meng sighed and said sadly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes moved, their eyes intertwined, and they nodded one after another.

Seeing this, Wu Han also nodded along with the crowd, and then instructed: "Hurry up and get in touch, time is running out."

The marketing director should be.

time record.

Song Sixian met Ge Guangqi.

Song Sixian asked aloud, "Bingtang Sweetheart, SHF, Ge Wenwei has one tour for the third stop, and two tour stops for the second stop. The situation is very serious. What's your idea?"

Ge Guangqi pondered for a while, and said: "Intensify publicity, but how much effect this will have, no one can say for sure."

After a pause, he exhaled and said, "I can think of an immediate solution, and the only ones are guest singers."

Song Sixian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Hurry up, it is estimated that the touring singers under other record companies are also thinking of singing guests."

His judgment was not wrong, those new stars without exception, the huge gap between the box office of the first stop and the second stop of the tour made the circle recognize the importance of the singers, and the Eight Immortals took action in Haiti.

In the afternoon, Qiao Li received invitation calls from no less than ten concert guests, but Li Kai had slipped away early, unable to confirm with Li Kai, it was naturally impossible for Qiao Li to agree, and could only drag one by one.

Li Kai went home and had dinner, took a walk downstairs with Li Ran, and then took a taxi to Ye Yimeng Bar.

In recent weeks, meeting Xu Qianqiu and Feng Mo on Monday nights has become a habit.

Right now, the circle is full of turmoil and enthusiasm. It is very necessary for everyone to sit down and chat, exchange ideas and exchange views.

When Li opened his eyes, Xu Qianqiu and Feng Mo had already had a drink.

As soon as Li Kai sat down, Xu Qianqiu poured him a glass of foreign wine, before he had time to drink, Feng Mo smacked his lips and said, "What's going on with your brain core essence advertisement?"

Li Kai shrugged his shoulders: "What's the matter, I represent Brain Nucleus and provide advertising plans."

Feng Mo was a little speechless: "You really invented that stupid advertisement."

As he spoke, he shook his head: "Now you are in trouble. Several newspapers published related articles today, and they are not tabloids. Not only entertainment newspapers, but also other newspapers in society are criticizing you."

"I heard a rumor that in order to make up for the negative impact of your advertisement, Brain Nucleus has adopted a rescue measure of repurchase, and it seems that it is planning to file a lawsuit with you."

Xu Qianqiu continued: "Don't worry about the lawsuit. After all, you must have signed a contract. The biggest trouble now is that the reports in those newspapers are all on the side of the brain core company, criticizing you. I feel that this Either the Brain Nucleus Company is behind it, or someone deliberately plots against you."

Li Kai gave a secret praise in his heart, sure enough, Jiang is still old and hot, and he can see through the inside at a glance.

"Spray it casually, if you don't believe it, the saliva can drown me."

Seeing Li Kai's look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Xu Qianqiu shook his head: "I think you should not take it lightly, this is different from your first single back then, no matter how low the single was degraded, the sales volume was so high. Explosive, turn it over immediately, if the brain core essence is unsalable, if someone maliciously smears you, it will have a great side effect on your public image and reputation."

"If it's inconvenient for Time Records to do your crisis public relations, then you can turn to Shuteng Records. Shuteng and Time Time have fought against each other for many years. Although they are declining now, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and there are still a lot of media resources."

Li Kai nodded affectionately: "I know it well, my agent will take care of it."

Xu Qianqiu didn't say anything else, took a sip of his wine, and changed the subject: "Last week in the concert market, those new faces were beaten back to their original form one after another. Everyone in the circle said that you led them into the ditch."

Li Kai was a little inexplicable: "Don't care about me."

"Why don't you care about your business? If Huacan's singers hadn't set a precedent for singers below the top line to tour, how could it have evolved into the current situation."

Feng Mo grabbed a handful of peanuts, threw two into his mouth, chewed and said, "It would be fine if Huacan's other singers continued to follow after Ade, but Huacan pulled back, just It’s like buying stocks and leaving after earning one vote, why don’t you make those people who are trapped jealous?”

Li Kai spread his hands: "This is beyond my control. It's not necessarily that in order to cure someone else's pink eye disease, Hua Can should also jump into it knowing that it is a pit."

After finishing speaking, the topic changed slightly: "Actually, it's not as serious as you said. It's the new stars who fall into the pit. Just send a big-name singer to catch them out. New stars earn fame, and big-name singers earn real money. The company has nothing to lose."

Xu Qianqiu listened, looked at Li Kai with a strange look, and said deeply: "You see it very clearly. In fact, the concert market has become like this. The five giants are happy to see it. If you really fall into the pit It’s a first-line record company.”

Feng Mo added in a muffled voice: "Time Records is the biggest victim."

Li opened his eyes and understood in seconds. The bands under Time Records, the men's and women's groups, and individuals, currently have a total of seven tours confirmed. Where can we find seven big names to get them out?
Xu Qianqiu glanced at Li Kai, and suddenly said: "The two newcomers under Huacan's banner have been single for a month, why, they are not allowed to release an album?"

Li Kai was only stunned for a second before he realized that the two newcomers Xu Qianqiu was referring to were Liang Qiumo, Shen Jing.

"After November, the album project should be established. If the film is released, it will be at the end of October at the earliest, and if it is later, it will be delayed until mid-November."

Xu Qianqiu frowned after hearing this, and after a while of silence, he said: "It's better to be earlier. First, single songs are not counted in the evaluation of singer ratings. Only when the album is released as soon as possible, can the singer rating be determined after the full moon. Only when the performer will give you a relatively fixed quotation, come on, you have no works for a month, and this month, Luo Yusheng's works have exploded in big sales one after another, under the ebb and flow, he has faintly caught up with you , even has a tendency to surpass you."

Speaking of this, his eyes narrowed deeply: "In the circle of songwriters, most of the time there is no number one. There have only been three number ones before. One is Hong Guang in the early 80s, known as the godfather of music. The second one is Dou Ya in the mid-80s, and the third one is Nian Guanhua who holds the metal bird band with one hand."

"Nowadays, the circle calls you two, Nan Li Kai, and Bei Yusheng. This is not out of nothing, but represents a recognition that in the current music scene, the two of you must be above other songwriters."

"Before you were in the front and he was in the back, but now many people read it upside down, Bei Yusheng, Nan Li Kai, this exchange of positions means you should understand, don't think it's a false name , the gap between the first and the second is very large.”

"For example, when an international competition is held in Huaguo, the first choice for the theme song is the number one work. For example, for a top-notch album in the circle, the first choice for the main feature is also the number one work. In addition, the first choice must be against the second, and the second is absolutely It would be very passive."

"Luo Yusheng has a close relationship with Su Yaqing, and also has a deep relationship with Gunxue. I don't know why he transferred to Becca Records, but one thing, if Luo Yusheng is recognized as the number one in the circle, you slapped Su Ya in public that time. Qing's manager slapped you, it's not easy for Su Yaqing to seek justice from you, but it's not difficult for Luo Yusheng to help you, he only needs to promise a few works."

"Even, as long as he wants, he can snatch your popular singer away. For example, he offered to write a song for Xu Qiaoling or He Jingyun. Daishi Records and Wager Records will all be inclined to him. The singer's own wishes It doesn't matter, after all, the final decision on the production of the album will only belong to the company, not to the singer."

"Also, whether it's suppressing Huacan or recruiting people from Huacan, as long as he makes a decision, there is a high probability that he will be able to fulfill it."

Li Kai listened silently, without showing anything on his face, but he was very moved in his heart. He knew that Xu Qianqiu would not be aimless, and when he said this, the warning was already very obvious.

If Luo Yusheng is recognized as the number one songwriter in the circle, it will be a big disadvantage to him, Li Kai!
