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

Chapter 506 Popular trends in the sub-regional music scene
Ji Xiaolan didn't take it seriously: "Dad, what on earth have I done that is so outrageous and unacceptable? If you want to curse me like this, if Rolling Snow wins the bet, I can be the first deputy director of the music department of Time Records. If I lose, I will Roll back Snow Records, continue to stay in the marketing department, I will contribute to my own future, is it wrong?"

"Yes, I'm using your relationship without your prior consent, but those second generations in the circle, who are not relying on the elders to do illegal activities, they are all doing well, and they will die if they touch me live"

Seeing his daughter's appearance of protesting with reason and ignorance of repentance, Ji Wenwu's face darkened, and he interrupted: "Being used by others, you walked step by step to the edge of the cliff without knowing it, you are really hopeless."

Ji Xiaolan also lowered her face, gnashed her teeth and said, "In the final analysis, you are prejudiced against Haonan."

"Yes, I have a prejudice against him. This kid is not a good guy. Luo Dibei behind him is even more insidious. You are used by them. You make mistakes again and again, but you are still confused and don't even listen to me. Well, I have no choice but to take this step.”

Ji Wenwu's eyes froze, and his tone became cold: "I just want you to see clearly that when you lose your support and are in trouble, if the behavior of some people can't make you sober, it is really hopeless. "

After hearing this, Ji Xiaolan's expression became a little complicated, but she still shook her head stubbornly: "No, there are many snobbish people, but not everyone is, Dad, I don't understand why you have such a deep prejudice against Haonan , Anyway, I am sure of one thing, I believe in his character."

After all, he shook his hand and left.

After watching his daughter's angry back leave the room, Ji Wenwu looked away and shook his head slowly.

Back in her room, Ji Xiaolan sat on the edge of the bed, hugged a pillow, and remained silent.

The expression on his face changed, sometimes angry, sometimes tangled, sometimes wronged, sometimes sad.
After a while, she thumped the pillow a few times and sighed inexplicably. At this moment, the phone rang.

As soon as she saw the call, she picked it up, and Wei Haonan's urgent voice came from the other end: "Xiaolan, how are you?"

"How about what?
"Have you talked to your dad? What did your dad say?"

"What are you talking about, my dad is still angry with me."

As soon as Wei Haonan came up, he asked her if the matter was done, which made Ji Xiaolan very uncomfortable, and frowned slightly.

"Hey, where is the overnight feud between father and daughter? Your father is in a bad mood. You have to understand him and don't confront him."

Wei Haonan comforted him, and then said: "Xiaolan, the situation is very bad now, it's already Friday, a dog-day band, Kong Yanyin's negative news has not been published in the newspapers, let's drag it on."

Ji Xiaolan was a little annoyed: "I've tried my best. You can see that I called people from five media outlets that day. In the past two days, I have contacted people from four or five media outlets. They all agreed well, but If you don’t do anything, you’re just a snob who plays with the wind.”

Wei Haonan hurriedly said: "The biggest hope now can only be your father, he has such a wide network of contacts, even if he is temporarily dismissed by the company, it is impossible for everyone to be a snob, not to mention, there must be a lot of people who owe him money." In favor of others, in the past, your father was in an important position in the company, and it was inconvenient to do things that violated the regulations, but now he has no such scruples. As long as you win the bet in the end, not only you can succeed Qiao Li, but also become the first vice president of the music department of Time Records. Director, your father can also make a smooth comeback."

After a pause, he added: "This is what Young Master Luo asked me to bring to you."

Ji Xiaolan didn't answer, and there was an unspeakable complex look in her eyes. It wasn't Wei Haonan's instigation that moved her, but her father's words came to mind.

"Wei Haonan is not a good guy. Luodibei behind him is even more insidious. You have been used by them. You made mistakes again and again. You walked to the edge of the cliff step by step, but you didn't know it."

Shaking her head, Ji Xiaolan put aside her thoughts, and breathed out, "Haonan, my dad will definitely not agree, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about it."

Wei Haonan was silent.

Ji Xiaolan said again: "My father is angry with me, and my mother has gone to grandma's house again. I don't want to stay at home. I will go back to Shenzhen City tomorrow. When I book a plane ticket and tell you the time, you will pick me up."

Wei Haonan said vaguely, "I'm busy on weekends, so I may not have time."

What else did Ji Xiaolan say, Wei Haonan said: "There is a call coming in, I will hang up first."

At the end of the conversation, there was no sound from the other end, and after a while, there was a beeping busy tone.

Ji Xiaolan stared at the words "Call ended" on the screen of the mobile phone, dazed.
The night passed.

Saturday, early morning.

The night at the window receded, and a warm and lazy morning glow came in through the gap in the curtains.

"Ah!" Li Kai, who was still asleep, sneezed due to a tickle on his nose, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw a beautiful and flawless cheek. On the cheek, bright eyes were smiling, revealing A hint of cunning.

"Okay, you are getting more and more courageous, how dare you tease your husband, it seems that he treats you like this." After being teased, Li Kaixiang pretended to be vicious, and stretched out his hands under the quilt to start making trouble.

"Hehehe"

He Jingyun retreated steadily and let out a burst of coquettish laughter. Just as Li Kai was about to attack further, the cell phone on the bedside table rang.

He Jingyun took the opportunity to escape, took the phone backhand, and picked it up.

"Sister Fang is already in the restaurant, get up quickly, have breakfast, and go to the company, the song needs to be reviewed by President Qi." After saying a few words, He Jingyun hung up the phone, then sat up, grabbed the bathrobe wrapped around the body.

"What's there to review, can it still be shot?" Li Kai curled his lips. Since the work was written by Li Kai, no one in the circle can deny it, even the top management of Giant Records.

"Huage is not Huacan. There is a complete set of internal rules, even if it is just a process, it must be followed."

Hearing what He Jingyun said, Li Kai was unhappy: "What do you mean Huage is not Huacan? It seems that Huacan is not as good as Huage."

"It's not as good as it is. Hua Ge is one of the five giants. Hua Can is only a studio that has been established for half a year. Compared with Hua Ge, it is at best an upstart."

For the last three words, He Jingyun bit the accent. Seeing Li's darkened face, she quickly lifted the quilt, got out of bed and quickly fled into the bathroom.

"Dong dong dong."

Li Kai walked over unhurriedly, knocked on the door of the bathroom, and said to the inside: "Jingyun, time is running out, let's wash together."

There was no answer inside, and the answer was the sound of splashing water.

Li laughed and shook his head, and did not continue to fight. Last night, the two of them tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time. The lights were turned off during the whole process, and the bright red of the white towel made him understand that He Jingyun is very conservative in that respect. Therefore, Don't push yourself too hard, take your time.
After He Jingyun finished washing, Li Kai also washed briefly, and then the two left the room and came to the restaurant on the ground floor.

Fang Qiong, Xue Bing, and Hu Jia were already there. The five of them had breakfast around a dining table, went outside the main building, and boarded a commercial vehicle waiting there.

Arriving at Huage Records after nine o'clock, Li Kai handed over the prepared score to Fang Qiong, Fang Qiong took it to the director for review, and replaced it with other people's works. For a heavyweight cultural performance like the New Year's Eve Gala of Beijing TV Station, and only In the next week, it will be extremely difficult to pass.

But this is Li Kai's work, just as He Jingyun said, that is to go through a process, and it will naturally pass smoothly in the end.

After eleven o'clock, after a brief lunch in the cafeteria, He Jingyun and her group were about to leave. Tonight, He Jingyun had a commercial performance in Baodao, and she booked a ticket for 1:[-].

Get together in a hurry, but also parting.

He Jingyun's little hand smoothed Li Kai's collar: "After the award ceremony of the two rankings, there is still more than a week before the Spring Festival. I have already asked the company for leave to go home."

Li opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Do you want to take me?"

He Jingyun blinked: "Are you free?"

Li Kai shrugged: "If you take me with you, I will tell my agent later that after the award ceremony of the two charts and until the Spring Festival, I will not accept commercial performances."

There was a trace of laughter at the corner of He Jingyun's mouth, and she nodded lightly: "Okay."

Watching He Jingyun and others get into the commercial vehicle, the commercial vehicle started slowly, then accelerated, and disappeared at the crossroads ahead after a turn. Li Kai then looked away, turned to look at Xue Bing, and patted the latter on the shoulder: "How is it?" , it’s a worthwhile trip.”

Xue Bing was a little puzzled: "Why is this trip worthwhile?"

Li opened a smile: "Looking at the flirtatious eyes between you and Hu Jia, you are reunited again, right?"

The corners of Xue Bing's eyes twitched: "What is reunion after a broken mirror, your wording is inappropriate. There was only a little twists and turns between me and her, and it has been smoothed out now."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and checked the time: "I have to go. I have an appointment with Sunset Records at [-]:[-] pm. The people from the company have already arrived. I'm going to meet them. What do you say?"

Li opened his hands and waved: "I won't be with you, I'm going to Nisuo Records, your side is over, call and contact."

Xue Bing responded.

Then, the two each stopped a taxi and went their separate ways.

After half an hour.

The taxi stopped at the bottom of a commercial building. Li Kai paid and got out of the car. He looked up 45 degrees and saw the top of the 33rd floor. Under the sunlight, a huge golden LOGO was shining brightly.

This is Li Kai's first visit to Nisso Records headquarters.

Li Kai walked into the office building, took the elevator to the 15th floor, and called Mo Fei's manager, Huo Shufen.

Not long after, Huo Shufen and Murphy's assistant Tian Cheng came out together, greeted Li Kai warmly, and then led Li Kai to Murphy's lounge.

"I'm sorry, there was an impromptu high-level meeting today, and Murphy went to attend the meeting."

Huo Shufen made tea for Li Kai, Tian Cheng brought a fruit plate, and then sat down to chat with Li Kai.

"Sister Huo, I don't know much about the fashion trends in the Asian music scene, please tell me."

The purpose of Mofeiyo's song is to be sung at the Asia Baida Pop Music Festival, and it will be released as a single in [-] Asian countries. It is necessary to understand the pop genre of the Asian music scene.

Although Li Kai has made up for it recently, after all, the time is too short, and the information he has is relatively limited, and it may not be very accurate.

Huo Shufen nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "The bulletin board is the most authoritative in the Asian music scene, just like the two domestic charts, it is the weather vane of the fashion trend."

"In terms of categories, rock, dance, R&B, and lyrical slow songs are the mainstream."

"This year's Billboard ranked No. 13, No. 7, and No. 4 songs are all rock, and they have been on the top of the list for [-] weeks, [-] weeks, and [-] weeks respectively."

"Ranking second and tenth are dance songs, respectively topping the list for 11 weeks and 3 weeks."

"R&B ranks third for 8 consecutive weeks."

"Ranked eighth, and ninth for lyrical slow songs, both for 3 consecutive weeks."

"In addition, there are quite a few niche genres, as well as saliva songs with relatively novel lyrics, which have also achieved outstanding results on the bulletin boards. Oh yes, there are also inspirational songs. Although the number is not many, there are two It also lasted for 3 consecutive weeks.”

"This is a division of major categories, but in fact, many songs are not a single genre, but a fusion of genres, such as rock with jazz and R&B with blues."

Huo Shufen paused for a moment, then continued: "Apart from the style of the song, in terms of the language of the lyrics, English, Korean, and Korean are the top three, and among the top ten songs on the Billboard, only one is in a language other than these three. "

"Of course, the ranking of songs depends on the language. It is not the most important thing. In fact, Mandarin and Cantonese have a wider audience in the whole Asian region than Island Mandarin and Korean. The key lies in the song and the personal charm of the singer."

"The biggest difference between the Asian music scene and the domestic music scene is that for many years, various genres have been competing, and more emphasis has been placed on packaging and personalization for singers."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Tian Cheng and said, "Bring those two CDs."

Tian Cheng responded, got up and walked to a cabinet, and took out a CD player and two CDs.

"This CD is the top [-] songs on the billboard this year. This CD is the title of the album released by the three kings, two queens, two men's groups and one girl group this year. You can listen to it."

Huo Shufen said that you can listen to it, but did not immediately hand over the CD player and CD record to Li Kai, thinking for a while, and said: "Murphy was a rock singer before his debut, and even formed a band. After his debut, he sang lyrical slow songs , and later tried two other styles of music, but they were not too successful. Her own wish was to return to rock and roll, but the music director, including his producer, did not agree."

Without further ado, there was a look of questioning in his eyes.

Li Kai understood that this was asking for his opinion, he thought for a while, and said: "With Murphy's vocal temperament, it is not suitable for heavy metal rock, you can try light rock, or pop rock, just like the band Four Dog Days style of."

After hearing this, Huo Shufen's expression was a bit indescribable. After a moment of silence, she said tactfully: "There is a lot of controversy about the Four Dog Days band in the circle. Many people define rock bands, but many people define pop bands."

Li opened his eyes and smiled, not arguing about this, just like the previous life on Earth, whether Mayday is a rock band or not, there is a lot of debate in the circle, and there is no clear result for more than ten or twenty years, but this is not important, pop music, There is no 20% genre boundary, the important thing is that the public accepts it and fans like it.
