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

Chapter 393 When I'm Hungry, Someone Will Serve The Food
Although they were a little far away, Li Kai could still see clearly that the resident female singer was You Xiaoxia.

Ning Lan followed Li Kai's gaze, sighed, and said: "She was pushed out by Time Records, and now she has been removed from the Charm of Youth. Meng Wei approached Teacher Ni and wanted You Xiaoxia to return Back to Huacan, Teacher Ni didn't agree, but he didn't ignore it, and contacted my cousin and asked her to come and sing here."

After all, he hesitated for a while, and said again: "Actually, Teacher Ni is mainly concerned about the impact on you. After all, Time Records announced that she framed your unspoken rules."

Seeing that Li Kai didn't answer, she just nodded silently, and Ning Lan didn't say anything else.

Li Kai also looked away, as if he didn't notice You Xiaoxia!
It is indeed pitiful that You Xiaoxia was pushed out by Time Records. Wei Haonan said that when Youth Charm was interviewed, Liu Susu was the representative to answer the reporter’s questions. You Xiaoxia remained silent. Wei mentioned that You Xiaoxia's transfer was instigated by Liu Susu repeatedly. According to Li Kai's judgment, the authenticity is also very high.

But these are not enough for him to lend a helping hand with sympathy. Whether it is a transfer or taking the blame, it is You Xiaoxia's own choice. Then you should bear the consequences yourself.

Li Kai's heart is sometimes very soft, and sometimes it is very hard!

It was almost ten o'clock, Li Kai was going back, and Ning Lan was going back, so they left together.

After leaving the bar, I bought two bunches of candied haws. The two gnawed on them while walking, and Ning Lan suddenly said, "Seeing that you are always distracted at night, are you planning to buy them?"

Li looked at her, but did not deny it: "You have seen all of this."

"If you really want to acquire, I think there is only one goal."

After a pause, Ning Lan's eyes were fixed: "Shuteng Records!"

Li blinked his eyes: "Why not Time Records? Old Xu just said that if it were him, he would focus on Time Records."

Ning Lan shook her head slowly: "There is snow rolling behind Time Records. The acquisition must be done in secret. Once the five giants know about it, it is likely to trigger a joint suppression."

As he said that, the conversation turned back to Shuteng Records: "Shuteng and Huacan are in an off-line cooperative relationship. I will talk to Shuteng about the acquisition. Even if the negotiation fails, Shuteng Records will keep it tight to the outside world."

Li Kai was noncommittal: "But the problem is, Lao Xu has made it very clear that the price of acquiring Shu Teng Records is at least double the actual market value."

Ning Lan cut him off: "From now on, no matter whether it's records or commercial performances, I won't take any share until the acquisition is completed."

Hearing her tone like breaking ice and snow, Li Kai turned a stunned face, and Ning Lan stared at him with firm eyes, not giving him a chance to refuse, and said: "You just treat me as an investment, and wait for the acquisition to succeed. , turn it into shares or return it to me slowly in the future, it’s all fine, if you refuse, you don’t treat me as a friend.”

Li Kai was choked up. When Su Ting gave him 16 yuan, she used her "friend" as a threat to force him to submit. Now, Ning Lan is doing the same thing!
"Sister Ning, let's do this. Pay as much as you want. You save it. When it's time to buy it, I will definitely count your share."

Slightly entangled, Li Kai agreed in a disguised form. First, he really came here with Ning Lan as a friend. Ning Lan, as the queen, is the pillar of the studio. After the studio is upgraded to a record company, she must have a share of.

Ning Lan was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That's fine, I will report the amount of deposits to you once a month. Currently, there are more than 200 million in my bank card."

Li opened his eyes for a moment, and sighed secretly in his heart, the Queen of Heaven is the Queen of Heaven, and the speed of making money is not far behind him.

More than three months ago, Xu Qianqiu borrowed one million yuan from him on Ning Lan's behalf. Now not only has he paid back the debt, but he has also saved more than two million yuan. The family company repays the bank loan.

Of course, this is also inseparable from Ning Lan's hard work. After transferring to Huacan, Ning Lan has served as a guest singer in 16 concerts, and held a small fan club with more than 1 people. On average, there are more than one concert per week. , I don’t know, I thought she was on tour.

In the bet with Li Kai, each side bets on the actual control of a company.

Wei Haonan was shocked by such a big bet, and at the same time, it was not up to Luo Shao to decide.

In order to pass the vote of the Gunxue high-level meeting, there are a lot of previous operations and preparations to be done, and a week is so tight that Luo Shao can't wait to fly back to the capital with his wings.

The reason why Wei Haonan didn't let Wei Haonan book the air ticket on Tuesday morning, but in the afternoon, was because he still had to finalize two things!
Tuesday, ten o'clock in the morning.

Luo Shao, Song Sixian, Ge Guangqi, Mr. Ren, Zheng Guangming, the marketing director, and Qiao Li entered the listening room together.

Tan Guangyue's album was recorded last weekend, and passed the audition meeting of the department yesterday, and today is the audition meeting of the company's senior management.

As Tan Guangyue's deputy director, Qiao Li is also eligible to participate.

The order of the audition is the reverse of the order of arrangement on the playlist. The tenth song is played first, and the last one is the first hit.

The first seven songs, or even the eight songs, the seven of them listened a little casually, and even Mr. Luo and Mr. Ren lost their minds.

And when it came to the penultimate song, the seven of them all showed concentrated expressions in unison.

Everyone understands that the success or failure of Tan Guangyue's album depends on one or two hits, which are the works of Li Kai bought by the company at a sky-high price of 7 points.

"... I can't hold your hand affectionately, kiss your forehead lightly, don't wait until, after 1000 years, everyone will forget me. At that time, in the desert of red dusk, who can untie the loneliness that has been entangled for thousands of years."

Tan Guangyue's magnetic singing voice, accompanied by the melody of flowing clouds and flowing water, is very pleasant to listen to, and it feels like a whole body cleansing from the inside out.

After listening to the song "After 1000 Years", several of the seven people showed comforting expressions on their faces, and nodded slightly involuntarily, obviously approving the song very much.

Then came the last song "The Heart Is Too Soft".

"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted. You cry until dawn alone. You love that person without complaint or regret. I know you are not that strong at all."

After a melody, as soon as Tan Guangyue sang, Luo Shao and the other three frowned. Later, even Song Sixian frowned slightly.

Ge Guangqi and Qiao Li were the only ones who kept their composure. They had already listened to the department's audition meeting yesterday.

After repeating the line "It's not yours, don't force it" four times, the song ended, and the seven people took off their headsets one after another and exchanged glances.

Luo Shao was the first to speak: "This song "The Heart Is Too Soft" is too ordinary. It feels like a song written by a senior songwriter, one day at a time with "After 1000 Years."

The marketing director hummed, and then said, "If I only listened to these two songs, I would never have thought that they were written by the same songwriter."

Mr. Ren and Zheng Guangming didn't gnaw, but their incomprehensible expressions obviously felt the same way.

The album audition session was actually just a cutscene, but theoretically Song Sixian was the final decision maker. He was not in a hurry to express his opinion, so he glanced at Ge Guangqi and Qiao Li.

Ge Guangqi understood that he was asking for his opinion, hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely: "The two songs are indeed Li Kai's works. I don't think there is any need to comment on the quality of the songs."

As soon as these words came out, Luo Shao and the others seemed to be enlightened, and they all froze for a moment, and the negative expression on their faces disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That's right, this is Li Kai's work, not to mention them, even at the audition meeting of Giant Records, those high-level executives will not make rash comments, they will only leave it to the market for testing!
The works of big names cannot be profane, this is the default rule in the circle.

Song Sixian groaned, and said, "I think Tan Guangyue's singing is fine."

This sentence already means that the album has passed the audition, but it is not over yet. After a pause, he hesitated and said, "It's just that the first and second titles should be changed."

Hearing these words, Luo Shao and the others all had a twinkle in their eyes. That's right, it is definitely impossible not to use Li Kai's works, but it is still possible to change the order of one or two main titles.

Comparing "After 1000" with "Too Soft Heart", the former is like a delicate Western-style cake, while the latter is like a rough compressed biscuit. With their aesthetics, the advantages and disadvantages are clear at a glance.

"Back then, the producer had suggested this idea in order of the first and second titles of the album. Tan Guangyue relayed Li Kai's original words. If you want the album to sell more, then put "The Heart Is Too Soft" as the first title."

Luo Shao and the others were about to nod their heads in agreement, when a faint voice came, making their necks stiffen there.

Song Sixian was startled when he heard this, and looked at Qiao Li, who nodded with certainty, then glanced at Ge Guangqi out of the corner of his eye, who smiled wryly, as if confirming it.

"That's how it is." After thinking for a moment with narrowed eyes, Song Sixian heaved a sigh of relief, and took the initiative to deny himself.

No one objected.

The audition session was over, and everyone was about to get up and leave when Luo Shao suddenly said, "Wait a minute, there is something I want to tell you. Tan Guangyue's album was originally scheduled to be released in early November, but now it has to be delayed by a couple of days." Week, specifically, we will decide when I come back from the capital next week."

Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Luo Shaobo said calmly: "In the first week of November, Mo Fei and He Jingyun will release their albums at the same time, and Tan Guangyue's albums will avoid their piracy protection period as much as possible."

After finishing speaking, he took a look at Song Sixian and said emphatically, "I'll say it again, the release time of Tan Guangyue's album will be decided when I come back next week!"

Song Sixian understood the meaning of this look, which was to tell him not to kill first and then play later, but he did not contradict Luo Shao, nodded and said: "Okay, then this matter will be decided next week."

At the beginning of eleven o'clock, Li Kai received a notice from the chairman's secretary, and the chairman asked him to come over.

The chairman had an invitation, and it was working time. Li Kai couldn't refuse, so he followed the secretary to the chairman's office.

Luo Shao didn't sit behind the desk, but was in the reception area. When he saw Li Kai, he waved his hand.

Li Kai walked over and sat down opposite Young Master Luo. The secretary made him a cup of tea, and then backed out.

As soon as he came up, Luo Shao said abruptly: "Li Kai, I have listened to the two songs you wrote for Tan Guangyue's album. Compared to "After 1000", the song "The Heart Is Too Soft" is too perfunctory?"

Li stared blankly for a moment, quickly thought of something, and said lightly: "I have a clear conscience."

Luo Shao snorted softly, and went straight to the point: "I am indeed not qualified to comment on your works, so I just want to ask you a word. For Tan Guangyue's album, you can test the bottom line of monthly sales."

Li opened his hands habitually: "I'm not in the marketing department, how can I predict how many records will sell."

Luo Shao stared at it: "Two songs, 7 points, this is a sky-high price that has never been seen in the circle, I don't want you to promise anything, give a guaranteed prediction, this is not too much to ask."

Li Kai didn't shirk anymore, and casually reported a number: "One and a half platinum."

Luo Shao's eyes flickered, he was silent for a while, nodded his head, and then his thoughts jumped, and he said: "Li Kai, on the plane last week, I proposed a bet, you changed the conditions, I will ask you now One sentence, are you serious, or just casually speaking?"

"Why, are you serious?" A look of surprise flashed across Li's eyes. Of course he remembered the content of the bet on the plane, but the conditions were changed at the time and it was entirely a flash of inspiration after He Jingyun proposed the acquisition plan to him. , and didn't take it too seriously, because Luo Shao was sitting on the chairman's position on behalf of Rolling Snow Records, and those shares did not belong to Luo Shao personally, so he couldn't make the decision at all.

Luo Shao looked at him and said, "If you just said it casually, then when I bring it up now, I'll ask if you dare to accept it?"

Before Li Kai could answer, he poked his finger on the armrest of the sofa, and said, "I'll put a word here, I don't like being teased by others, if you refuse, then I will use all means, Regardless of profit or loss, I will play the game with you to the end!"

Li Kai was a little speechless, if you give me a choice, don't threaten, since you want to threaten, why give me a choice?

"Are you serious?"

"of course."

Luo Shao said without a trace of jokes: "I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, what you said that day stimulated me, you are right, I seem to be sitting in the position of chairman of Time Records, but I can't make many decisions of the company Lord, under such circumstances, why should I build bridges for Jingyun's future stardom, open roads and rivers."

"That's right, I want to make a bet with you. As long as I win the bet, from now on, in Time Records and Huacan, I will always have my word. Even in Rolling Snow, I will have great words." right."

"This bet is a key step in my future. If you refuse, it will hinder my future. There will be a mortal enemy between you and me!"

After all, I added: "Li Kai, don't think I'm unreasonable. This bet was made by you, not me. It's as if you gave someone a promise related to his vital interests. People take it seriously, but you tell me later, it’s just a joke, how deep this emotional hatred is, you can weigh it yourself.”

When Li Kai listened to the first half of the passage, he thought it was bullshit logic, but when he heard the second half of the passage, he felt that it was not completely unreasonable.

Of course, in general, it is still bullshit logic!

However, he didn't argue or refuse, but his mind became alive.

Huacan wants to be upgraded to a record company, and it needs to step up to the first-line standard. Acquisition is the most effective shortcut.

Fang Qiong, Xu Qianqiu, Feng Mo, and Ning Lan all have this point of view, and there is no mistake. It is not that three people become tigers, and four people become big tigers, but that these four people are all veterans who have been in the circle for ten years. The cognition of the record company is far above him, and there is no reason to lure him into the pit.

As for Shuteng Records and Time Records, the existence of the two oldest and second children in the Shenzhen market circle is the most suitable target for acquisition, and now is an excellent opportunity.

It's just that when you're hungry, someone will serve you!
Groping his chin, he pretended to be entangled for a while, Li Kai raised his eyes and said, "Young Master Luo, you make the decision for this bet?"

Luo Shao shook his head and nodded again: "I can't make the decision personally, but I can make Rolling Snow Records approve this bet."

Li Kai was noncommittal: "I have something to say first. This bet is not a verbal agreement, or I can sign an agreement with you privately. The music association must be the third party, and the agreement must be signed by Gun Xue and Hua Can."

Luo Shao was not surprised at this request, nodded and said: "That's natural."

Li opened his eyes and saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, but he was a little convinced.

After all, Luo Shao is the successor of Gunxue Records, and he is also well-known in the circle. To make jokes about this kind of thing, just to tease his emotions, it would be too low to think Luo Shao too low.

Wait a minute, without waiting for Li Kai's next words, Luo Shao urged: "Li Kai, you don't have to be suspicious, if you really want to set you up, you won't let a third party intervene, especially the Music Association, you can inquire about it. , the credibility circle of the Music Association is still recognized by everyone."

Li Kai smiled, didn't write any more, nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, this kind of bet, everyone is seeing the truth. There is a music association to do third-party justice, and you can't play any tricks."

After all, he pressed his forehead and thought for a while: "For the details of the bet, find a time to send representatives of the two companies to sit down and have a business-to-business discussion."

Luo Shao simply agreed, and then said: "But now, let's set the big picture first. First, my side is Rolling Snow Records and Time Records, singers under the two record companies. On your side, I You two are also allowed, singers under Huacan and Shuteng Records, the maximum number of singers to release a film is ten, and singers who have released a record in the past three months are not included, of course, singles are not included."

"Second, the release time is limited to five weeks, starting from the third week of November to the third week of December. There is no limit to the number of singers who release the film every week, but at least one singer must release the film every week."

"Third, the bet is based on monthly sales. Due to the large number of singers, I asked to increase from the top three to the top five. Whoever occupies the most seats in the top five will win."

"Fourth, there is no limit on the number of singers, but the album promotion fee must be the same."

"Fifth, in terms of betting, you have a 51% stake in Huacan, and I have a 35% stake in Time Records."

"The general framework is like this. Do you have any objections or anything to add?"

Li Kai didn't answer in a hurry, narrowed his eyes slightly, crossed his fingers, and fell into silence.
