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

Chapter 521 I'm From China

Seeing his daughter's pear blossoms with rain, and self-pitying, Ji Wenwu couldn't bear it, and the original idea of ​​wanting to scold his daughter has faded a lot.

But scolding is inevitable, what should be said has to be said, he suppressed his love for his daughter, and said calmly: "As far as I know, Wei Haonan has also done a lot of things for you."

After a pause, he said: "Don't say anything else, frame Zhang Linxiao and spread rumors to confuse the public, don't tell me it's not your handwriting."

"At that time, you had already served as an assistant to the music director, and there must have been rumors that you were going to take over as the deputy music director. It is possible that the two girl groups flattered you, but the company's punishment decision is not something you can control, and I am not in it. , even if you pull my flag, it’s useless.”

"If Li Kai hadn't intervened, Zhang Linxiao would have been expelled, and there would be a stain on the file. This is to ruin a person's future. If there is no room for it, there is no Wei Haonan to help you. No, it should be said that Wei Haonan beat him. Under the banner of Luodibei, who will make this decision among the company's top management?"

Framing Zhang Linxiao was Ji Xiaolan's public revenge, which was a semi-public secret in the company, so she couldn't hide it from her father, and her father's analysis made it impossible for her to refute, so she had to lower her eyes and acquiesce.

Ji Wenwu pointed at her: "Yes, don't feel wronged, you and Wei Haonan are just using each other."

Ji Xiaolan couldn't accept her father's conclusion, and suddenly raised her eyes with a look of hatred: "If Wei Haonan didn't take the initiative to find me to get back together, I wouldn't have any contact with him at all."

Ji Wenwu waved his hand: "Shut up, I told you at the beginning that Wei Haonan is not a good person, but you are obsessed with it. It's too late to regret it now."

As he spoke, he stared at his daughter for a while, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he became firm again, and said word by word: "This time I came with the task assigned by the company, Xiaolan, do you want Have a mental preparation, you have to bear the responsibility that should be yours, and I will deal with it impartially, without favoritism."

Hearing her father's cautious tone, and seeing her father's solemn expression, Ji Xiaolan was startled: "Dad"

"Don't ask if you don't know, I just greet you in advance, well, go to bed early."

At the end of the sentence, Ji Wenwu got up and walked to his room, leaving Ji Xiaolan sitting there alone with a dazed expression.

After entering the room, Ji Wenwu closed the door with his backhand, walked to the window, stared at the deep night outside, was in a daze for a while, then took out his mobile phone and made a call.

The other end rang seven or eight times, and then it was connected: "Old Ji, you called so late, what happened?"

Mr. Luo's voice was unambiguous, but it was still obvious that he had just woken up.

Ji Wenwu said lightly: "Mr. Luo, I have something to report to you. Liu Fei from the marketing department resigned last month, and now she has gone to Huacan. The information was provided by Liu Fei."

The other end didn't answer, just hummed.

Ji Wenwu continued: "The backside of this matter may be related to Luodibei. I will find out the situation tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then report it to the company in writing."

The other end was still silent, and after a while, he said: "I see."

Friday.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Li Kai, He Jingyun, and their entourage had breakfast in the restaurant together, checked out, and left the hotel.

Arrived at Beijing Airport at [-]:[-], passed through the security check, and two groups of people waved goodbye.

He Jingyun and others boarded the passenger plane to Jiangshi. He Jingyun has a business performance in Jiangshi tonight.

Li Kai and the others stayed in the VIP waiting room. An hour later, Mo Fei and her accompanying team arrived. The two groups merged into one, and boarded the flight to Xiaohan at five minutes past twelve. international flight.

Asia Baida Pop Music Festival will be held in Huishui City, the second largest city in Xiaohan this year. Passed two days early.

Amidst a roar, the passenger plane took off and rushed into the blue sky. After a few minutes, the plane entered a stable flight.

Li Kai unbuckled his seat belt, adjusted the backrest to the most comfortable position, and waited for the stewardess to push the dining car over, assuming a glass of soda.

Murphy next to him ordered a glass of orange juice, sucked it and looked down at the newspaper. After a while, he turned his head to look at Li Kai and said, "The selection of the most popular programs for the New Year's Eve party in Beijing, you and He Jingyun's chorus audience voted more than 7 Zhang, nearly twice as high as No.9."

"It's so high." Li opened his eyes and lit up. It was not surprising that he won the most popular show, but it was a bit unexpected to get nearly 8 votes.

You must know that in Huaguo in this world right now, the usage rate of the Internet is very limited, and the voting at the gala is all through voice calls, and a voice call costs 2 yuan.

He remembered that the most popular program at the 3th Beijing Gala this year only had more than [-] votes, and it was Guo Yifu's solo.

This time, it was more than doubled.

"Your popularity is not weak, and He Jingyun is one of the most popular female singers in China. The song is a new song. It is normal that the votes are higher."

Murphy's expression was calm, as if it was a matter of course, and he didn't know whether he looked up to Li Kai or her vision.

"No.2 is a bit of a surprise, with more than 4 votes, guess who it is?"

"Zhao Chuanxiong?"

"B5."

Li Kai couldn't help being stunned for a moment, B5 is Xiao Han's boy group, and the on-site response last night was good, but Li Kai's feeling was still a bit worse than Zhao Chuanxiong's.

And with more than 4 votes, this result is quite outstanding.

"Zhao Chuanxiong is third, with just over 3 votes, a quarter short of B3."

Mo Fei looked at Li's expression, and shook his head slightly: "Actually, it's not a surprise. Although the idol drama "Youth in Progress" has only been aired in the Mainland for two weeks, its ratings are not as good as popular police and gangster movies, and costume movies. , but as far as idol dramas are concerned, they are already one of the best, and the audiences of idol dramas are all young people, which is the most fanatical age group for star chasing. Among the more than 4 votes, there should be many votes from one person. "

Li Kai digested for a moment, then nodded.

Mo Fei turned over a page of the newspaper, glanced at it, and frowned suddenly: "Last night in the Hong Kong Island Real Me Show New Year's Eve special, the future girl lost to Xtreme God, which is really surprising, Xtreme Shenlai is Xiaohan's popular boy group, but in terms of singer ratings, they can at most be counted as a first-tier mid-range group, which is equivalent to the tide group in China."

In the waiting room just now, Li Jian had already known it from the report of Entertainment Tiantian, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he heard that the ultimate god is only in the middle of the first line in Xiao Han, and he couldn't help being surprised.

Future Girl is a diva, at least twice as popular as a first-line combination like Tidal.

Is the gap between the domestic music scene and the Xiaohan music scene so big?

"Extreme God is also an idol group?"

Murphy nodded, then shook his head: "Xtreme God comes from four boys who have also appeared in idol dramas, but they are not pure idols like B5. Their singing skills can be regarded as powerful, their dancing foundation is very solid, and their masterpieces are all songs and fast songs. Song, even in the Asian music scene, is a very stylish boy group."

After that, as if thinking of something, he said again: "I heard a news that Huilijing and Xiaohan's second-ranked entertainment company have reached a cooperation. Next year, no, this year, the entertainment company may have many idol dramas, love films, as well as singers will be introduced to the domestic market."

Li Kai narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

After a flight of more than three hours, the plane landed at Xiaohan's Huishui Airport.

Since it was an international flight, the security check was more cumbersome. Li Kai and his party came out of the airport at sunset, including the time difference, it was past 5:[-] local time.

Two commercial vehicles waited at the appointed place, picked up a group of people, and drove for half an hour to a five-star hotel.

The room was booked early in the morning. Li Kai, Qiao Li, and Zhang Linxiao lived in a three-person suite, Mo Fei, Huo Shufen, and Tian Cheng lived in a three-person suite, and four security guards, one translator and one yuan plus five people lived in two double suites.

Everyone went back to the room to clean up a little, and then came to the restaurant for dinner.

After dinner, Murphy suggested going to a bar, and Li Kai also had the same intention. Bars are often the most intuitive way to feel the pop music atmosphere of a country.

The two hit it off immediately, and the others naturally had no objections.

The two commercial vehicles drove directly to Jiangshan Road, which is a famous bar street in the center of Huishui. The group got off the car and walked for seven to eight minutes, and entered the famous JG bar.

JG Bar is the No. [-] entertainment company of Xiaohan, under ikuqi Entertainment, the interior decoration is fashionable and luxurious, and there is an artistic atmosphere everywhere.

There is a uniquely shaped bar in the center of the hall, with dense crystal strips on it, reflecting a colorful matt light, giving people a dreamy feeling.

Surrounding the bar counter, there are dozens of scattered tables, and a circle around the outside, there are dozens of booths, and there are private rooms on the second floor.

In front, there is a huge dance floor, and in front, a stage with a height of three meters. On the stage, there are all kinds of musical instruments.

The whole is like a small theater.

Li Kai and others came earlier, and there were not many guests in the lobby. They asked for a large booth in the front, and everyone sat in a circle, and ordered snacks, drinks, and drinks at a minimum consumption of [-] RMB.

Murphy ordered two extra bottles of expensive wine.

"Xiao Han's bars, no matter how big or small, have singers singing there every night, and not just one or two. Most of Xiao Han's professional singers have the experience of singing in bars. Even after their debut, they will also be arranged by the company. I perform in various bars, such as JG, they often invite second-tier singers, and today is the first day of the new year, so there may not be any first-tier singers on stage."

Huo Shufen took a sip from her wine glass, turned her eyes to the stage, and said casually.

Due to work reasons, she was sent to Xiao Han by the company for half a year, so she is more familiar with the situation here.

Zhang Linxiao said in surprise: "A second-tier singer comes to the bar to perform, it's too cheap."

In China, more than [-]% of the singers in bars are underground music circles. Even if there are professional singers, they are newcomers who have just debuted, or third-tier singers who have not received a few commercial performances a year.

Firstly, due to the restriction of the record company, just like Time Records, its singers are not allowed to accept private jobs.

Come on, the cost of resident singing in bars is relatively low. Usually, you sing a few songs a night, and the tipping is not counted. At night, no matter how rich you are, you won't demean yourself like this.

Huo Shufen looked at her: "Did you think that Xiao Han was from Huaguo? A second-tier singer's commercial performance standard is tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands. He can take a dozen or twenty performances a year at least."

"Xiaohan's total population is less than 5 million, which is only a tenth of that of Huaguo, but the absolute number of professional singers is no less than that of Huaguo. The main source of income for some professional singers is through going out every night."

Zhang Linxiao blinked: "Then, how much can a second-tier singer earn by singing in a bar overnight?"

Huo Shufen pondered for a while, then raised a slap: "A few years ago, it was around 50. It may have risen a bit now, but it won't go anywhere."

Seeing Zhang Linxiao's tongue-smacking expression, Huo Shufen was not surprised at all, and smiled: "Little Korean Won."

In this world, Huaguo currency is 1:150 to small South Korean won.

Zhang Linxiao's expression froze, he quickly calculated silently, and said in surprise: "It's only more than 3000, so little."

Huo Shufen nodded: "The company will take half of it. In addition, many Xiaohan singers are in the form of groups. It is not uncommon to have a group of seven or eight people. Of course, if it is a group, the company will take less money and the singing fee will be higher. Some, anyway, if a second-tier singer sings three songs, it will be around 1500 in his own pocket, and usually the annual income of a second-tier singer will not exceed 30."

Zhang Linxiao couldn't believe it when he tsk-tsk.

Qiao Li should have known it earlier, reached out and patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "In the 80s, the domestic music scene has not yet risen, and the singers on Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island are also like this, unless they are popular enough to hold concerts and accept commercials , other professional singers earn hard money, unlike now, a second-tier singer in China, as long as he works hard, even if he has passed away, he can earn a minimum of 50 yuan a year."

Zhang Linxiao took a sip of the foreign wine mixed with water, and nodded silently, which still seemed a bit unacceptable.

As time went by, more and more guests came to the bar, and at 8:[-], the stage was illuminated by dancing lights.

A man walked onto the stage. He looked in his early 20s, with a long-sleeved T-shirt on his upper body, a pair of jeans on his lower body, and medium hair.

Although there are various playing instruments on the stage, he still carries a guitar, which is not surprising, many singers are used to using their own instruments.

He sat on a bench, plucked the curve of the guitar, tried the sound test, then brought the microphone close to his own mouth, and introduced himself: "My name is Lu Linfeng, and I'm from Huaguo."

He spoke little Korean, but both Huo Shuzhen and Qiao Li could understand it. Hearing the name Lu Linfeng, the two of them showed surprise at the same time, and looked towards the stage.
