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

Chapter 514 Make Rules

The question raised by Li Kai caused a sudden silence in the conference room.

Yu Jiali hesitated a little, and then said: "Singer signed with a record company, especially in the first newcomer's contract, there is no love. Although it will not be listed in black and white in the contract, it is the default rule. How can Yanyin It may be violated, let alone a hypocrite, this is purely fabricated out of thin air and maliciously smeared."

Lin Wei paused for a while, and said, "It's nothing at all."

Seeing that the two people did not seem to have fake expressions, Li Kai nodded, and then told Shen Guanchang: "In that case, a press conference will be held tomorrow morning, and the Four Dog Days Band and Kong Yanyin will come forward to clarify in person. In addition, contact five entertainment companies Report, demanding self-denial like Entertainment did at the time, and a public apology, otherwise, everyone will sue Bo in court."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, some couldn't believe it.

Before Shen Guanchang answered, Yu Jiali said, "No, the singer's performance in person is like adding fuel to the flames. This kind of thing can't be clarified at all, it will only get darker and darker."

Li stared at her: "The singer came forward to clarify himself. This is the most powerful rebuttal. If the matter becomes serious, who would dare to throw black water without evidence?"

Yu Jiali choked.

Lin Wei frowned and said, "Evidence can be forged."

Li Kai was noncommittal: "How can it be faked? Detain it for seven days. The police must have a file. It is impossible to get it at ordinary times. But if there is a lawsuit, this is ironclad evidence. It cannot be conjured out of thin air."

Lin Wei was speechless.

Li Kai looked at Yu Jiali again: "It's even more impossible to fake Kong Yanyin's boyfriend. Just find a man to pretend to be, hehe, when you arrive at the court, you will be betrayed immediately."

Yu Jiali was speechless, and her face was a little ugly.

Kong Yanyin glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and there was a tangle between her brows and eyes, just like her heart.

The four of Xiao He looked at each other, and they could see deep worry in each other's eyes.

Li Kai saw their expressions in his eyes, but pretended not to see them. He tapped the table twice and said seriously: "You are singers under Huacan, and if you want to fabricate negative news to discredit you, even if you spend a few hundred If you file a lawsuit, the company will definitely clear your name."

Speaking of this, the conversation suddenly changed: "But if you lie and things get serious, then you will destroy your own future, and the company will not give you another chance."

He looked at the clock on the wall: "That's all I have to say, you guys continue to discuss, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Seeing Li's back when he got up and left, everyone had different expressions, until a long time after he left, the meeting room was still silent.

Beijing.

A set of three bedrooms.

In the living room, a chandelier was lit.

Shu Zhen, her manager Feng Ling, and assistant Xiao Ai, the three of them sat on the sofa, all looking heavy.

The silence lasted for a long time, Feng Ling let out a long breath and said, "Shu Zhen, we have no choice."

Shu Zhen struggled and said: "But if you take this step, there is no turning back."

Feng Ling gritted her teeth: "I know, but have you ever thought about it, you have to reject Luo Shao, once you lose the bet, not only will you lose 500 million, you will also renew the contract with the company for 5 years, offending Luo Shao, he It will definitely trip you up everywhere."

Xiao Ai said: "Shao Luo really wants to make things difficult for Sister Shu, Vice President Liao probably won't ignore it."

A sneer flashed across the corner of Feng Ling's mouth, she shook her head and said, "Young Master Luo's father is the head of the company, so there's no need to make things difficult, just find an excuse to reduce resources, and Shu Zhen's popularity will slowly decline, or within two or three years. Exhausted."

Xiao Ai opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that she had no words to answer. Indeed, if the general manager deliberately made things difficult for a singer, no one would be able to keep him safe.

"Today, five entertainment newspapers reported negative news about the Four Dog Days Band and Kong Yanyin. Some people have already rushed forward. We are just icing on the cake. If something happens, it will not be our turn to take the blame. Besides, bet on us It is true that we cannot afford to lose, the current situation, even if it is for ourselves, we must do something, even if there is some risk, we have to take it."

Feng Ling's instigation finally made Shu Zhen loose. She took a deep breath, and just as she was about to nod, the cell phone on the coffee table rang.

Shu Zhen picked it up and saw that it was a landline phone number. After hesitating for a while, she still picked it up.

In less than 5 minutes of the call, Shu Zhen's face changed more than a dozen times, sometimes surprised, sometimes embarrassed, sometimes entangled, and finally gave the other end an affirmative answer, with a touch of determination in her eyes.

After hanging up, she said: "Sister Feng, call Luo Dibei back and tell him clearly, I refuse!"

Feng Ling was stunned: "Shu Zhen."

Shu Zhen cut her off: "Sister Feng, tell the truth, how likely is it that the bet will come back?"

"[-]% to [-]%"

"Is there? The cumulative sales of my album are more than 12 copies worse than the Dog Days band. This week's Billboard, Four Dog Days' songs are on the list, and the first, second, and third hits are also on the top list."

Facing Shu Zhen's calm eyes, Feng Ling fell silent abruptly. After a long moment, she sighed and said, "Now I can only obey the destiny and do my best."

The implication is that the possibility of a comeback is very small, and destiny is, in a sense, a miracle.

"Since that's the case, we shouldn't take any more risks. Besides, Luo Dibei is a wolf, and the danger of dancing with wolves is much greater than being an enemy of wolves."

"what do you mean"

"You call Luo Dibei first, and I'll make a few calls."

Shu Zhen stopped talking nonsense, got up and walked to the room, while walking, she found a number from the communication on the mobile phone, and the moment she took it to the door of the room, she dialed it.

It's almost ten o'clock.

Li Kai came home, took a shower, and was watching TV on the sofa when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that the call was Su Ting's phone number. In order not to disturb his family's rest, he got up and went to the balcony to answer it.

Su Ting sighed slightly: "Brother, they have all confessed honestly. The negative news reported in the entertainment newspaper is true. They didn't tell the truth before. It was their manager's idea, and their manager also admitted it."

Li Kai was not surprised. Before leaving get off work, he discussed it with Qiao Li. At that time, Qiao Li asserted that the negative news about Four Dog Days and Kong Yanyin would not be fabricated out of nothing. For one thing, even entertainment tabloids must pay attention to authenticity. , what's more, 5 entertainment newspaper reports in one day, the content of the reports is roughly the same, and it is not difficult to guess who is behind it. some people.

Li Kai agrees with this.

In fact, Su Ting also knew it well, but she pretended to be confused.

"The scandal has been exposed, and you want the company to help settle it, but you don't confess the matter to the company, making it look like an innocent victim. Hmph, what do they think of the company, babysitter, or take advantage of it?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Li Kai's tone, Su Ting hesitated for a moment, and helped to explain: "They also find it hard to talk about this kind of thing, and they hope to get away with it by chance."

Li shook his head: "If this is the case, I won't be so serious. In my opinion, they are forcing the company to submit."

"First, their album sales are very good. After the full moon, they are likely to hit the top line all at once. If their popularity is damaged, the company will lose a piece of it."

"Secondly, right now is a critical moment for the bet. If their popularity is damaged and subsequent sales plunge, whether Huacan can win the bet will be a question mark."

"It is precisely based on these two points that they believe that the company will definitely clean up for them, and it is unconditional."

Su Ting was silent for a while after hearing this, and said euphemistically: "I also thought about this possibility, so I didn't push too hard before. After all, the most important thing right now is to win the bet."

Li Kai asked back: "Is there any change in the bet?"

Su Ting choked.

Li Kai asked again: "If you think there are still variables, then the acquisition of Sunset Records and Yifei Records, including the company's follow-up income, is it not considered?"

Su Ting was choked again.

There was no sound at the other end, Li opened his mind and flirted with Su Ting's entanglement at the moment, couldn't help but smiled, and said with a light smile: "I didn't mean to criticize you, how can you not take some risks in running a company, you also said, now Great opportunity to buy a bargain, I totally agree."

After finishing speaking, he turned back to the topic: "I just guessed it. In order to ensure that there will be no accidents in the game, you will turn a blind eye to them. Therefore, I specially called a meeting together at night."

"Take care of yourself and force the company to submit. If they succeed in this, how will the company manage it in the future? Now, two days later, there are a lot of first-line brands under the company, each of which is bigger than a big one, and none of them are up to the sky."

"This time I just want to set the rules for them. Don't think that the first-line singers are so great. The company will not let them down, but if they are favored and spoiled, the company will not coax them, just abandon them!"

Su Ting was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said: "Then what should we do now?"

"Give them two choices. They will not take any commercial performances or release records in the next six months. The company will find them a vocal teacher, and make up for their singing skills. If they don't want to, don't force them, find them a new owner, transfer them Pull it."

Hearing what Li Kai said, Rao was surprised that Su Ting had cultivated a calm mind in half a year.

"Brother, this."

Li opened his eyes and said: "Before their managers took the initiative to find you, you can talk to them individually, and I confirmed it again at the meeting just now, and they lied three times before and after. Not too much."

"Besides, asking them to make up for their singing skills is not to delay them, but for their long-term development."

Su Ting was silent again, but this time it didn't take too long, she said yes, and then said: "For crisis public relations, according to Shen Guanchang's suggestion, find a few entertainment newspapers with better relations, and report a few positive articles?"

Li Kai laughed: "You decide."

After chatting for a few more words, Li Kai hung up the phone, stretched his body lazily, and suddenly felt something, a wicked look flashed at the corner of his mouth, he turned around abruptly, raised his hand and collapsed.

Li Ran, who quietly came behind to eavesdrop on his call, was unprepared, and was hit on the forehead, and the pain wrinkled her little face into a ball.

A night market street less than one kilometer away from the park where Huacan Music Studio is located.

The four members of the Dog Days Band and their manager Lin Wei gathered around a table to eat supper.

Lin Wei hung up the phone, his face was a little heavy, he let out a breath, talked about the two choices Su Ting gave on the phone, and then smiled wryly: "This time the company made it clear that we must follow the rules, and we have hit the precipice .”

Bassist Wang Gang immediately frowned and said, "Having no commercial performances for half a year, and not releasing a record, doesn't that mean that we are hidden for half a year? It's too much."

Guitarist Qin Tie said angrily: "The company is asking us to do the surgery and kill the chicken for the monkey to see."

Drummer Xue Chao slapped the table: "If you transfer, you will transfer. With this album, we can be on the top line steadily, and there are many record companies in the circle robbing us."

Hearing this, Qin Tie's anger stagnated: "Old Xue, don't be impulsive, the transfer is inappropriate."

Xue Chao snorted, "Why is it inappropriate? It's not that we're ungrateful. It's that the company deliberately made things difficult for us. If our album wasn't a hit, it wouldn't be certain who would win and lose."

Wang Gang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, we have made great contributions to the company, even if negative news breaks out, the merits and demerits will be equal, so why should we be punished like this?"

After all, he looked at Lin Wei and said, "Brother Lin, help us talk to President Ni tomorrow. If we have to be banned from commercial performances for half a year, then we have no choice but to transfer."

"Bang!" The lead singer Xiao He, who hadn't gnawed, suddenly slapped the table, his eyes cast coldly: "The merits and demerits balance out, where did we get the merit?"

Several people were stunned.

Before they could say anything, Xiao He continued: "Do you really think we are good? If we were good, we wouldn't have been in the underground music circle for three years before making our debut, and would have been discovered by scouts from giants and first-line record companies long ago. "

"This time the album is a big hit, whose credit is it, don't you know in your heart?"

"During the meeting just now, Young Master Zhang deliberately asked whether the negative news was true or not. We lied. Based on this alone, Xuezang us for half a year is not too much, let alone not Xuezang, but a vocal teacher to train us."

"Listen to me. As long as you are Huacan's boss for a day, the Four Dog Days band will not be transferred for a day. If any of you think you are good, you can go solo."

As the lead singer of the Four Dog Days band, Xiao He is the absolute soul. Not only that, he is also the big brother of the four of them. It was Xiao He who initiated the formation of the band in the first place.

When he spoke, everyone fell silent, and there was not much dissatisfaction in their hearts. After all, they also respected Li Kai from the bottom of their hearts. The complaints just now were more of a temporary period. Take commercial performances.

Lin Wei apologized: "I'm to blame for what happened this time. If it wasn't my idea, I would have confessed to the company early in the morning, and this would not have happened."

Xiao He looked at him and waved his hand: "Brother Lin, it's not your fault, you are also thinking about us, to be honest, if you can hide this disgraceful past, you should try to hide it as much as possible, otherwise President Su will talk to me alone I won't deny it, but when we have a meeting at night, if we are less serious, we shouldn't continue to hide it."

After finishing speaking, his eyes were fixed: "In half a year, I will improve my singing skills and strive to improve the sales of my next album. If I can reach the top line, it will be worth more than anything else."
