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

Chapter 544: Domestic Artist Income Ranking
Today is not a weekend, both father and mother specially asked for half a day off for the sake of their future son-in-law.

After chatting for another quarter of an hour, Mother He got up and went to the kitchen. She was going to cook dinner herself, while Father He went to the room to attend a conference call.

Li Kai and He Jingyun went to the balcony to chat while watching the scenery.

He Jingyun took the initiative to mention that she had already explained Huacan's situation and where most of her income had gone over the past year to her parents.

Li Kai understood the meaning, since He Jingyun explained it, if he never mentioned it, He's father and mother would inevitably have some ideas. After all, Huacan's market value is [-] million plus, and He Jingyun invested tens of millions, which is not a small amount!

I also remembered yesterday that Mother He had a single chat with him and raised the problem of choosing one or the other, and mentioned it again today, but it was overturned after he explained it, quite a feeling of lifting it high and then letting it go gently.

Obviously, behind this, He Jingyun negotiated with his parents for him, and explaining Hua Can's truth is probably the most important factor that made his parents let go.

Thinking of this, Li Kai took He Jingyun's hand and said with a smile: "You said, when I have dinner later, I propose to my uncle and aunt that I get engaged with you first, what do you think?"

He Jingyun was a little speechless: "Do you think it's appropriate?"

"Do you think it's inappropriate?"

"You are here for the first time today, besides, this was mentioned by the elders."

Li Kai uttered an uh, scratched his head, with a slightly embarrassing expression.

Nowadays, marriage between a man and a woman does not require three matchmakers and six hires as in ancient times, but when it comes to marriage, the parents of both parties should sit together and discuss it. This is the most basic etiquette.

How can there be a son-in-law who makes his parents-in-law agree to marry his daughter the first time he comes to the house?
six o'clock.

A table of dishes is prepared, very rich, the quantity is not as good as yesterday's birthday banquet, but the quality of the dishes is higher, especially a grouper weighing one catty, which is a very rare seafood nowadays.

This represents the importance the He family attaches to his future son-in-law.

Everyone sat down around the table, He's father opened a bottle of high-quality wine, He Jingyun didn't drink it, He's mother and the nanny poured half a glass, a small wine glass with eight cents, and Weng and his son-in-law took care of the rest.

The He family usually eats without talking, but today there is no such rule. They chat while eating, and laughter comes from time to time, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Li Kai proposed: "Uncle, Auntie, I have something to report to you, I hope you can give me some advice."

He's father raised his eyes, and He's mother also looked over.

Li Kai continued: "I, Jing Yun, and a few friends in the circle invested in and opened a music studio called Hua Can."

After introducing Huacan's situation in more detail, he said, "At the beginning, Jingyun signed a contract with Huage Records for two years, and now it has been more than half. Yun told me that Huage Records intends to invest resources to focus on training her and push her to the Asian music scene, and even the international music scene, on the condition that Jingyun renew her contract in advance."

"Jingyun and I have asked many friends in the industry for their opinions on this matter, and most of them think that Jingyun should agree to renew the contract. First, Huage Records is strong and has more resources. If necessary, I already intend to cooperate with Huage Records, if Jingyun renews the contract, the cooperation between the two parties will be easier to reach."

He's father and mother looked at each other. They were not insiders, so they couldn't give professional advice. As parents, the only thing they cared about was their daughter's safety and well-being. Don't get involved in right and wrong.

After all, this is the entertainment industry!

Li Kai seemed to have guessed their thoughts, paused, and said: "Jing Yun is now one of the best female singers in China, and even the top management of Huage Records will respect her wishes very much, and Hua Can and Huage's cooperation was originally aimed at foreign music circles. For Jingyun personally, it is the same whether she stays in Huage or transfers to Huacan. The only difference is that the money Jingyun earns is shared with the company. If that is the case, Huage can share more, and of course invest more resources.”

After all, the topic changed: "And if Jingyun insists on transferring to Huacan, the interests of Huage Records will be damaged, and the cooperation between the two companies may also be affected. More importantly, Jingyun's reputation in the circle It will also be damaged, Jingyun was cultivated by Huage, if she becomes famous, she slaps her ass and leaves, she is somewhat ungrateful."

Father He is the vice president of a foreign company. He nodded silently after hearing this. In addition to the legal contract restrictions, there are still default rules in the workplace. Employees who are trained by the company and subordinates who are promoted by the leader, if the conditions are comparable, they will move to other companies. Especially in the same industry.

This is something that has been criticized in the industry.

Li Kai explained the pros and cons so clearly, he had obviously discussed it with his daughter and made a decision.

Reporting to them is more of a kind of respect!
"Every line is like a mountain, so I won't be an outsider to point out an insider. Whatever you think is appropriate, Jing Yun agrees." Father He smiled and added wine to Li Kai's glass.

Mother He also nodded, and conveniently picked up a chicken leg for Li Kai.

The father-in-law served the wine, and the mother-in-law served the dishes. Li Kai was so flattered that he quickly took a chopstick of the best part of the fish and put it in He Jingyun's bowl.

Seeing this, Father He and Mother He smiled even wider, and finally felt that this son-in-law was getting more and more pleasing to the eye.

After the meal, Li Kai chatted with his father and mother for a while, and at about eight o'clock, he got up to say goodbye.

The next day, Li Kai got up early, met He Jingyun at the appointed place, and then went to Li Kai's grandparents' house.

I ate dumplings at noon. In the afternoon, my uncle, aunt, and aunt’s family came, and we got together for dinner and had a reunion dinner.

Another day, Li Kai went to He Jingyun's high school reunion.

The next day, Li Kai and He Jingyun revisited their hometown, went to play basketball in the normal college in the morning, had lunch at the tea restaurant where they used to sing, went shopping with He Jingyun in the afternoon, and had dinner at the private restaurant where they ate several times.

It's rare to have a big vacation. These days, the two of them are like birds flying out of the siege, leisurely and free, while the siege is still the same, busy and colorful.

On Monday and Tuesday, in just two days, the new general manager of Time Records, Qiao Li, swiftly completed the high-level adjustments within the company.

Ji Wenwu stepped down as chairman.

Ren Quanfa, the former general manager, became the chairman of the supervisory board of the company.

Song Sixian, the former first vice president, resigned and was replaced by Zheng Guangming.

The vice president left by Zheng Guangming was taken over by Li Chaosheng.

The two are equivalent to returning to their original positions before Gun Xue invested in Time Records.

The Marketing Director and the Director of the Brokerage Department were transferred to idle positions, and the positions of the Directors were respectively taken by the Deputy Director and a person transferred from Huacan.

The music director Ge Guangqi was demoted to the first deputy director, and he is still in charge of the music department. The position of director is temporarily vacant.

After the high-level adjustments are completed, the adjustments of various departments will begin immediately.

In addition, most of the staff transferred from Rolling Snow Records to Time Records will be transferred back to Rolling Snow Records within a week. Among them, Ji Xiaolan, the assistant to the music director, has been transferred to the marketing department, which makes everyone understand that Ji Xiaolan will continue to stay in the company. go down.

At the same time, the internal high-level positions of Rolling Snow Records have also been adjusted.

The head of the logistics department and the director of the brokerage department switched positions.

The financial director was promoted to vice president, and the first deputy director took over the position of director.

Whether the bet was made at the beginning, the director of the brokerage department and the chief financial officer both voted in favor. Now that the bet is lost, the two have to bear the responsibility. The former has been transferred to a less important department, while the latter has been transferred , no longer in charge of the financial department, a key department second only to the music department.

Mr. Luo's position as the general manager has not been changed, but the authority has been restricted a lot, and there are still a few items that can be directly decided. Now the decision-making power is taken over by the high-level meeting and the board of directors.

Luo Dibei was transferred back to Rolling Snow Records in a desperate manner, and he was still the deputy director of the marketing department in the past. Compared with the chairman of Time Records, who is at the same level as the director of the department, he is downgraded, but compared to the one who should bear the greatest responsibility for losing the bet The initiator of this relegation penalty seems too light.

There is obviously his father's factor behind this.

And the biggest responsibility for losing the bet fell on Su Yaqing.

The company signed a package contract of 1 performances a year for her, with a total price of 5 million, which is equivalent to an average of 10 per performance.

This price is even lower than that of popular first-line singers.

Considering the packaging, it is at most equivalent to the first-tier mid-upstream level.

Michelle replaced the solo spot at Xiaonian Magic City Gala.

It was originally scheduled to be a movie theme song in the first half of the year, and it will be released as a single in 8 countries in the Asian region, replaced by Shu Zhen.

All of the above, everyone shows that the No. [-] female singer under Rolling Snow Records will be marginalized, and the lack of exposure of [-] commercial performances, with an average of two high-intensity performances per week, is tantamount to killing chickens and picking eggs.

It was foreseeable that after a year, her popularity would drop drastically, and it would be nice if she could still have a first-line standard by then.

And the resources she vacated were divided among Shu Zhen, Tao Liang, and Mi Xue, who became vested interests.

From this, it is not difficult to see that big-name singers with unlimited fame are also very vulnerable in front of capital. The company can lift you up and throw you to the ground.

On Wednesday, two days later than the original scheduled release time, Tan Guangyue's single "Heart Too Soft" debuted on Hong Kong Island. In the next five days, it will be released in four countries.

Also on this day, Huacan Records announced that Ning Lan and Future Girls will release a single after the year, which will be released in 5 countries in Asia at the same time.

Becca Records also announced that the combination of Nie Lanxin and Tidal will release a single in the future, as the theme song of the film and television drama, and will be released simultaneously with the film's release in 9 countries in the Asian region!

On Thursday, a piece of news came from the Asian music scene, which caused a lot of exclamation in the circle.

Murphy's single "Another Paradise" was released in 10 Asian countries, and it was listed at No.11 on the Billboard for 19 days.

As usual, this ranking will increase until it reaches its peak between the 20th day of release and the full moon.

It is very likely to become the first Chinese singer to be in the top ten of the Billboard in the past five years.

On Friday, Zhou Xing Entertainment reported on the front page of the headline that "Youth in Progress", a small Korean idol drama, became popular not only in Hong Kong Island and Taiwan, but also in the mainland. As of yesterday, the ratings of Kyoto TV surpassed 5. The ratings of Modu TV Station exceeded 6, and the ratings of Shenzhen TV Station exceeded 5.5.

Compared with some high-rated period dramas, such ratings are not outstanding, but as far as idol dramas are concerned, it is definitely an astonishing achievement.

Idol dramas are different from romance films, which only gradually appeared after the 90s. Although the ratings are increasing every year, they are still not considered mainstream. Before, the average ratings in first-tier cities were only around 2, and rarely exceeded 3.

The headline on the front page of the Huanxing Entertainment newspaper announced last year's domestic artist income ranking.

In the past, actors accounted for more than [-]% of the top ten, and singers accounted for [-]-[-]%.

Last year, it was the first time that actors and singers were evenly divided.

Xu Qiaoling ranked tenth with an annual income of 1365 million.

Released a default four-and-a-half-platinum album within one year, a round of 15 summer tours, 76 commercial performances, and 3 endorsements.

With her own diligence and hard work, Xu Qiaoling has achieved the miracle of transforming from an ugly duckling into a white swan, living up to the title of inspirational queen!

Ning Lan's annual income is 1732 million, ranking seventh.

In the first half of the year, relying on a default record share of 7 gold, there were only a few commercial performances, but the income was only a few million. However, the transfer to Huacan in July became a turning point. First, he signed an advertising endorsement with DS, and then more than 10 A concert guest, and then a 22-show winter tour, at the same time released a default quasi-five and a half platinum album, which became the most popular in China, followed by two endorsements, and refreshed the singer endorsement twice fee records.

In half a year, the income surpassed other super-line ones for a whole year, and the popularity No.1 in the domestic music scene is terrifying!
Liu Ming's annual income is 2192 million, ranking fifth.

The first king, synonymous with hard work, and the darling of advertisers, besides being a singer, he also played the leading role in a film.

Excellent talent plus acquired hard work, it is reasonable to achieve fruitful results.

He Jingyun's annual income is 2308 million, ranking fourth.

Last year, the only singer who released two albums with more than 13 gold by default, 5 shows were sold out in one round of tour, and 43 more shows were also sold out. 5 advertising endorsements.

As early as the end of the summer tour last year, there were voices in the circle that He Jingyun's money-absorbing power surpassed Liu Mingliang's, and now it has finally turned into reality.

But He Jingyun is not the highest paid singer, and she is nearly 2 million less than the highest earner.

Li Kai ranks first with an annual income of 4226 million, which is nearly 500 million higher than that of Li Long, the king of film and television martial arts for two consecutive years.

Last year, Li Kai only released a quasi-5-gold album. There were only 18 commercial performances, and he did not start a tour. There were as many as 2 concert guests and [-] endorsements.

Adding all these together, it will not reach tens of millions.

And more than [-]% of his income comes from his works.

My own album is 5 gold by default, 4 points, He Jingyun's album is 4 gold by default, 4 points, Ning Lan's album is 6 gold by default, 9 points, Xu Qiaoling's album is four and a half platinum by default , [-] points, Tan Guangyue's album defaults to triple platinum, [-] points, He Jingyun's album defaults to [-] gold, [-] points
In addition, write songs for Huacan's singers, and write 30 songs for Jiang Shanlan, a subsidiary of Shuteng Records, at a price of 2 yuan per song, one million.

On Saturday, Li Kai met He Jingyun after lunch, took a taxi to Nanshi Railway Station, and boarded the train bound for Shenzhen.

Tomorrow is a big day for Li Kai's house, move to a new house!

After the train started, He Jingyun was sitting by the window, the sunlight from outside poured in, reflecting on her smooth and jade-like cheeks, as if she had been smeared with a layer of beeswax, the beauty was a bit unreal.

Li opened his head and tilted his head, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery, while He Jingyun was holding the Huanxing Entertainment News that was released yesterday, her eyes flickering.

"Domestic artists have the highest income, and they still cry poor all day long." He Jingyun murmured, her wonderful eyes met Li Kai's at close range.

Li Kai groaned: "Who is crying poor all day long?"

He Jingyun blinked: "The one who ranked first in domestic artist income last year."

"How much income?"

"More than 4 million. Well, 4226 million to be precise."

"Come on, with an income of more than 4 million yuan, you are still crying poor, who is shameless?"

Li Kai uttered a foul language and reached for the newspaper, but He Jingyun avoided it, and said lightly: "You also said that this person is shameless, but the problem is that this person always pretends to be a good character, but in fact he is cheating money." Cheating."

Li opened his eyes and said indignantly: "So you are a hypocrite with a good face, a hypocrite is more disgusting than a villain, who is it?"

"you guess."

"Li Long, that's impossible. Li Long has been rumored to be scandalous, but I've even heard of the reputation of donating money. Hmm, Xi Ruifa?"

"He's sixth."

"Ge Song?"

"There is no one in the top ten."

"Who is that?"

Li Kai rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "I don't usually watch movies, but I only know a few super big names. Could it be a new popular niche?"

"It's not a movie star. He has the same name and surname as you. He is also called Li Kai, and he also sings." He Jingyun stuffed the newspaper into Li Kai's hand and said.
