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

Chapter 496 Is there still hope?

"Mr. Ji, you don't have to be so polite, just say something."

Ning Lan stayed in Gunxue for 5 years. For the first 3 years, Ji Wenwu was the deputy music director, not her leader in charge. In the last 2 years, Ji Wenwu was promoted to the music director and became her immediate boss.

At that time, she was already wearing the title of Queen of Heaven, the number one female singer under Rolling Snow. Ji Wenwu didn't favor her much, but he didn't suppress her too much, and maintained a passable relationship between superiors and subordinates.

After she retired, Ji Wenwu, the original team, did not give preferential treatment, but made proper arrangements. After she came back, Li Xia and Ma Qian wanted to defect to Ning Lan immediately after their contracts with the company had not expired. Ji Wenwu did not stop her.

Generally speaking, working together and personal friendship are acceptable.

Even though there was very little contact in these years, the former leader asked me to do ordinary favors, and Ning Lan would definitely not refuse to help, but now, Ji Wenwu is so serious that he even said the word begging, Ning Lan is afraid of knowing this. It is not easy, so it is more cautious to answer the words.

Ji Wenwu didn't write any ink, he pondered for a while, and then said: "Last weekend, the entertainment magazine had an interview article about Li Kaiqian's rules on the front page. To clarify, the content of the article was not interviewed through the regular process, nor was it provided by the so-called Time Records' unnamed singer, but Ji Xiaolan, assistant music director of Time Records."

"Ji Xiaolan, you joined Rolling Snow after you retired. Before that, you worked in the general office and the marketing department for more than three years. Not long ago, you were transferred to the music department of Time Records. She...is my daughter."

Ning Lan and Li Xia's expressions were flat, obviously already aware of the father-daughter relationship between President Ji and Ji Xiaolan.

Ji Wenwu paused for a moment, then continued: "Entertainment will publicly clarify at the time, because Nisuo, Huage, Daishi, and Huacan pressured Ji Xiaolan to be named, and she and Time Records must be public There is an explanation, and in this explanation, the mediation is generally reached in private first, and then made public."

Hearing this, Li Xia showed a look of surprise, and answered the words bluntly: "Time Records negotiated with Li Kai in private, but the conditions were not agreed upon. Therefore, President Ji wants Ning Lan to come forward to intercede with Li Kai?"

Ji Wenwu nodded: "As long as Li Kai doesn't stare at my daughter, any conditions are fine."

After a pause, he added: "Of course, if I can do it."

Li Xia was a little puzzled: "What do you think if you keep staring at him?"

Ji Wenwu didn't hide anything: "Time Records has already talked to him indirectly through his agent, and his attitude is very firm, to get to the bottom of it, and in his words, he's going to do everything right."

"According to his request, the confession has only two options. One, Xiaolan takes the blame by herself and publicly admits that she framed Li Kai; She is only the executor, and the company will hand over a higher-level person to take the blame."

"The second option is obviously impossible, only the first one, the reason is not important, but Xiaolan will not be able to stay in the circle in the future."

Seeing Li Xia opening her mouth to speak, Ji Wenwu guessed what she was going to say, and gave the answer directly: "The company was going to deal with it coldly before, and we will delay it for a while. Nisuo, Huage, and Daishi also said hello, but yesterday evening At that time, I received a call from Mr. Luo. These three companies and Huacan once again put pressure on Entertainment. The then boss of Entertainment contacted Mr. Luo personally. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, Time Records must hold a press conference to give an explanation, otherwise , Entertainment will hold another press conference at that time to publicly expose some inside stories that have not yet been exposed."

As he spoke, he let out a sigh of relief, and his tone became a bit complicated: "The reason why the three companies put pressure on the entertainment company at the time was only because Li Kai was willing to give me a little face. , but yesterday this week’s two charts recommended new songs. The band Four Dog Days advanced to the seventh round, and Kong Yanyin’s album was the main hit. In this way, Hua Can has a high probability of winning the bet. Make up your mind."

Li Xia smiled wryly after hearing this. No wonder Ji Wenwu rushed to Shenzhen City. It turns out that his daughter will be "sentenced" tomorrow morning. Although he didn't say it clearly, according to Li Xia's judgment, the second choice is likely to be the insider truth. However, it was absolutely impossible to reveal it. At that time, the entertainment was under the pressure of the four companies, and Gunxue was under the pressure of the entertainment. In desperation, they could only be the first choice, and Ji Xiaolan took the blame alone.

The only possibility for Ji Wenwu to protect his daughter is for Li to open his mouth.

She didn't express her opinion, but looked sideways at Ning Lan. She knew in her heart that Li Kai was involved, and Ning Lan could only decide whether to help him or not.

Ji Wenwu almost told the whole story without saying anything else. He also looked at Ning Lan, took a sip from his cup, and waited quietly for an answer.

Ning Lan didn't keep him waiting, she was silent for a while, and said, "Mr. Ji, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter."

Ji Wenwu's hand holding the cup trembled, and the black tea in the cup rippled in circles. He thought that Ning Lan would refuse, but he didn't think so directly.

"This matter is not aimed at Ji Xiaolan personally, but at Rolling Snow Records. It is because of the bet that we have to get to the bottom of it. If I help to speak, it is equivalent to standing on Rolling Snow's side."

Ji Wenwu looked at Shang Ning Lan with firm eyes in apology, which gave him a sense of familiarity, and the soft words that came to his mouth silently swallowed back into his stomach.

Four years ago, Ning Lan decided to retire. When he talked to Ning Lan, Ning Lan had this look.

He couldn't make her change back then, and I'm afraid he couldn't make her change now.

You can't be begging in a humble way, no matter how anxious Ji Wenwu is about his daughter, it's more than that!
The atmosphere became cold.

"President Ji, I'm sorry." After a moment of silence, Ning Lan apologized and took a sip of tea.

Ji Wenwu knew that this was not an order to evict guests, but he ended the topic unilaterally. With a bitter expression on his face, he quickly put it away, lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, his eyes fixed, as if he had made a certain decision.

My daughter must be protected. It is impossible to ask Ning Lan to help me out, but there is still hope
"Li Xia, Xiang Ninglan and I have a chat alone."

Hearing this request, Li Xia was startled, and couldn't help but look at Ning Lan, who nodded slightly.

Li Xia didn't say much, she nodded, got up and left.

Only Ji Wenwu and Ning Lan were left in the private room.

Ji Wenwu breathed a sigh of relief, and said suddenly: "I want to make a deal with you, as long as I can keep Xiaolan, I will vindicate you for what happened back then."

Ning Lanfang's heart trembled, she looked stunned and disbelieving.

Looking at her expression, Ji Wenwu was not surprised. He took out a pack of cigarettes, took one, lit it, took a puff, and said, "I always thought that Mr. Luo didn't offer higher conditions to keep you. It was a choice between you, Su Yaqing, and Shu Zhen, and I didn't realize until recently that there was something else hidden back then."

After a pause, he took a puff of tobacco: "The situation of my daughter now is not the same as yours at the beginning, but there are quite similarities. Do you know who made the bet between Gunxue and Huacan this time?"

Ning Lan had the answer in her heart, but she shook her head silently.

Ji Wenwu smiled, with a bit of sarcasm in his smile: "Needless to say, Huacan's side is Luodibei, and in order to facilitate the bet, he somehow persuaded Xiaolan. In the midst of ambiguity, the one who was about to abstain from voting was Xiaolan who persisted and even turned against me, so I voted for it, and the result of the high-level meeting was 7 to 6."

"As for the current matter, the negative news about Li Kaiqing's rules was created by Xiaolan under the behest of Luo Dibei, but Xiaolan is required to take the blame alone. I can't accept it, and I can't bear it, but I can't change it. , because that's Xiaolan's one-sided statement, I believe in my daughter, but others won't believe it, even if they believe it, it's useless, empty words are useless."

All that needs to be said has been said, Ji Wenwu is not a person who talks too much nonsense, he took another puff of cigarette, and extinguished the remaining half: "How about this deal?"

This time, Ning Lan didn't refuse again, she met his gaze and said, "If your daughter doesn't take it, someone has to take it, Luo Dibei?"

Ji Wenwu shook his head: "There is no evidence, it's impossible, even if Entertainment exposed all the inside stories at the time, it still wouldn't touch Luodibei."

Ning Lan was silent, with a sneering arc on the corner of her mouth, she wasn't mocking anyone, but after a while, she stopped, and nodded lightly: "I can try, but I can't guarantee it, so don't show up. I'll call you with the result."

Ji Wenwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said good-bye, and reminded: "This matter cannot be delayed."

Ning Lan hummed: "Before ten o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, then I'll wait for your call."

In the evening, Li Kai received a call from Ning Lan, asking him to have dinner with him, but his uncle came to Shenzhen City in the afternoon, so he must accompany him, so he declined.

Ning Lan had no choice but to talk to Li Kai about the matter on the phone.

Since what was said on the phone was relatively simple and the matter involved was relatively complicated, it was impossible for Li Kai to agree hastily, but he did not refuse, so he chose a compromise method and postponed the limited time by one day.

Just as Ji Wenwu judged, when the seventh round of new song recommendations on the two charts was announced yesterday, Qiao Li followed Li Kai's wishes and contacted three more companies to force them to make a decision.

As expected, the three companies were no longer negative, and chose to put pressure on the entertainment industry again.

In this way, the three companies are completely biased towards Huacan, and the goal has been achieved. As for when to cash in, sooner or later, it is not so important.

After hanging up the phone, Li Kai called Qiao Li and explained the relevant matters.

on Monday.

At ten o'clock in the morning, last week's sales report was released.

First, Dog Days Band, 289181.

Second, Ning Lan, 270198.

Third, Su Yaqing, 261821.

Fourth, Liang Qiumo, 241198.

Fifth, Shu Zhen, 235832.

Sixth, Kong Yanyin, 232918.

Seventh, silence, 210191.

Eighth, Jianghua, 162181.

Ninth, Zhou Ziming, 156911.

Tenth, Jiang Yizhou, 150191.

After being held by Ning Lan for 4 weeks at the top of the list, it finally changed hands.

Dog Days Band, a pure new rock band, has achieved an astonishing sales of nearly 29 in such a fierce competitive environment.

A black horse with a whole body was born out of nowhere.

Ning Lan retreated to the second place, down more than 27% from the previous week, and the sales volume in the early [-]s was still impressive.

Although Su Yaqing failed to clear the customs in the two new song recommendations last week, she still won the sales of more than 26 copies, ranking third.

First of all, relying on the strong popularity of Tianhou, it also shows that the album composed of ten titles is indeed of high quality overall.

Liang Qiumo ranked fourth. In the fourth week of the album's release, the four-day piracy protection period expired in three days. The sales volume of nearly 25 was [-]% lower than that of the previous week, which is considered a normal range.

Shu Zhen, who is ranked fifth, has sold more than 23 copies even though the new song recommendations on the two charts also failed to clear any of the charts, which should be considered remarkable.

It is not only a manifestation of the top-tier popularity, but also shows that the overall quality of the album is also called ten songs.

Kong Yanyin also sold over 23 copies, less than 3 copies than Shu Zhen, ranking sixth. For a third-tier singer, this result is amazing enough.

Another batch of dark horses were born, and the whole body was so black that it was not much worse than the Four Dog Days band.

Don't look at the first and the sixth, the actual sales volume is only 5 copies, a difference of about 15%.

Shen Jing ranked seventh. Like Liang Qiumo, the fourth week of the album's release, the four-day piracy protection period, three days out of the piracy protection period, as predicted by Li Kai, in an overcrowded competitive environment, a strong rise The momentum has weakened.

The sales volume of 21 copies dropped by more than 4 copies from the previous week, which was a drop of more than [-]%, which is considered normal, but the hope of counterattacking Tan Guangyue's sales volume at the full moon has almost come to naught.

Jianghua, who ranked eighth, ninth, and tenth, in the regular peak week of sales, all dropped a bit compared to the previous week, which further reflected the crowded and fierce competition environment.

Ranked 10th to 7th, with sales of more than 5 copies, ranked 4th, dropped to more than 22 copies, ranked 3th, jumped again, became just over 27 copies, ranked 3th, dropped to more than [-] copies , ranked [-], fell to more than [-], ranked [-], fell below [-]!
The entire sales table is still extremely polarized.

However, the huge amount of money was spent, and high-quality albums fell out. The bottom line of the top ten finalists was once again raised, breaking 15 copies. The total sales of the top ten not only broke double platinum in one fell swoop, but also approached two and a half platinum.

Two records that are milestones for the domestic music scene were born.

Two monuments were erected.

This is a great sell sheet!

time record.

At the high-level meeting, after the sales list was circulated, it fell into a dark cloud of silence and depression.

After the results of the two new song recommendations came out last week, many people in the circle realized that the bet between Gunxue and Huacan would enter a climax.

And this sales volume was fulfilled as scheduled.

If before, the balance of betting was only in favor of Hua Can, then now, it was seriously tilting in Hua Can's direction.

"There is still hope." In the silence, Song Sixian let out a long breath, and his deep voice was full of unwillingness and resistance.
