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

Chapter 557
Back in the lounge, John took a call and went to work.

In the elevator, Qiao Li controlled her emotions, and now she was left alone with Li Kai. She turned pale and said, "It's a joke when you think about it like this, isn't it?"

"No, I'm serious"

"As far as you are concerned, now is the most critical moment. If you have super popularity, you should make your singer's rank worthy of the name. Do you understand the principle of being strong in one effort, declining again, and exhausting three times? It is extremely popular in the circle. For a while, they didn’t make persistent efforts when they were popular, and then they hit the top and fell, lost popularity, and there are many examples of never rising again.”

"The pop music world is changing rapidly. If a singer doesn't release an album for a long time, it's easy to be abandoned by fans, especially like you. The two albums add up to only 11 songs, and half a concert is not enough. You haven't experienced the baptism of a tour. The number of truly loyal fans among your fans is very limited."

Qiao Li paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "In addition to your personal development, there is also the company. Time Records has just changed hands. It is a transitional stage of reintegration and unstable people. It is not easy for you to be a shopkeeper Forget it, even my general manager disappeared for a long time, which company in the world operates like this?"

Li Kai listened patiently, and when it came to an end, he said: "Sister, I understand what you said, but I didn't do it on a whim."

Qiao Li didn't answer, but stared at him slightly coldly, waiting for the next sentence.

Li Kai pondered for a moment, then said: "As far as the international music scene is concerned, European and American singers rank higher than Asian singers. From the Asian music scene, island country and Korean singers have higher ratings than Chinese singers. You can tell me about this." Don't deny it."

Without waiting for an answer, he just paused and continued: "There has been a saying in the circle that Huaguo is on the same level as the small Korean island country, and the small Korean island country is on the same level as Europe and the United States. I listened to what you and John talked about in the car before. I deeply feel that it is not unreasonable for European and American singers to be in the leading position.”

"The training of singers here is more professional, and a mature system has been formed, and the operation of record companies is the same."

"It's a rare opportunity to come to the United States this time. I want to receive training. First, I want to improve my vocal skills and dancing skills. Then, and most importantly, I want to find a way that suits me for long-term training in the future."

"And you also use this time to learn more about the operation of the record company here, learn from each other's strengths and make up for its weaknesses. How appropriate is it to apply it to Time Records? You can even use the entire Huacan Group, isn't that good?"

Qiao Li looked thoughtful and fell silent.

Li Kai further said: "Sister, if Huacan Group wants to develop abroad, the Asian music scene is only the first step. Sooner or later, it will enter the international music scene. Regardless of the company's operation or the quality of the singers, it must be in line with international standards."

Qiao Li suddenly said, "How long, how long are you going to train here?"

Li opened his face and thought for a while: "Two months, a tailor-made song, from the creation to the final recording, it's normal for a month before and after, two songs are two months, you just tell John, I grasp it with both hands, to ensure that both are correct. If you are worried about the company, you can remotely control it. For the time being, everything will be as usual. Besides, the doctor said that you must fully recover, and you will be here for at least two months after the operation. Half rest, half office."

Qiao Li frowned slightly, obviously felt that two months was too long, she was silent for a while, and said: "It's okay to say other things, it's not a small amount of money to release a film in the Asian music scene, and the cost is several times that of a domestic release, even if it's a single Qu Shao said it would cost 300 million, such a large amount of money, no one can approve it without me, and you don’t check the recording.”

Li Kai said: "Then postpone it, Tan Guangyue has already released it, and the other places of Time Records, including Sister Ning and Future Girls, have collectively postponed. Anyway, they have just released their albums, and their popularity is at its peak right now. A few commercial performances, try to win a few endorsements, so that I and the company can earn more."

Feeling Li Kai's determination, Qiao Li didn't try to change his will anymore, she was silent for a while, and exhaled: "I have a request, to change to another hotel, the daily room fee is not more than 200 yuan, there is no need to spend It’s a waste of money, if you don’t agree, you can stay by yourself, and I’ll book a flight back home.”

Li opened his mouth and twitched, as if he had a different opinion, but seeing Li's firm eyes, he finally nodded silently.

Eleven o'clock.

John brought the five older boys into the common room.

All white, all blond, all handsome.

Through John's introduction, Li Kai learned that these five big boys were selected from hundreds of thousands of trainees last year. After signing with Universal Star Records through Western Star Media, they joined together and became a group. The English name is translated as : Xicheng boy.

After nearly a year of intensive training, the singing skills of the five people have all reached the company's standards, and they are qualified to release films.

According to the practice in the European and American music circles, a newcomer's first release is usually a single. Once it enters the international top [-] list, or the sales volume reaches the company's standard for a full month, they will be eligible to release their next album.

Of course, there are no exceptions. Some newcomers that the company is optimistic about can get the treatment of the first album. If the album has at least two hit songs, the total cost is much higher than that of a single.

West Into Boys is about to release a single.

After face-to-face communication, Li Kai listened to a few demo songs sung by the five boys, and then finalized the general song and the follow-up recording schedule.

After lunch, after one o'clock in the afternoon, John brought a black female singer named Ruth to Li Kai.

It's not pretty, but it's pretty decent. It's also a newcomer, also selected from last year's trainees, but after signing the contract, it only trained for half a year. In terms of vocal music, it has reached the standard and has obtained the qualification to release a single.

Li Kai communicated with her, and then listened to her singing demo, wide vocal range, and explosive high notes, which really surprised Li Kai.

After deciding on the song delivery and the follow-up recording schedule, Qiao Li communicated with John for a while. John readily agreed to Li Kai's idea of ​​participating in the accompanying training. Paying is equivalent to asking for a private teacher, and Li Kai has no objection to this.

A day later, Li Kai started training. Every day from 5:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, he had a total of [-] classes, each one hour class, including one bel canto, one pop singing, two dances, and one section shape.

Two weeks later, Li Kai came up with a song tailored for Xicheng Boys.

In one week, it took five and a half days to complete the recording of the song, and successfully passed the company's review.

According to the schedule, it is scheduled to be released in January!

After another two weeks, Li Kai came up with a song tailored for Ruth.
China.

At the New Year's Gala in various places, singer Xiao Han made a big splash, winning the most popular shows in Shanghai and Shenzhen. Although he lost to He Jingyun in the capital and came in second, the number of votes he got was more than last year Most Popular Program.

The next day, relevant reports appeared on the front pages of major entertainment newspapers, exclaiming that Xiao Han's singer had entered Huaguo like a tide.

Before it could be further fermented, it was robbed of the heat by the peak duel between the two-day king VS two-day-later in the Spring Festival Gala.

The song "Father" sung by Liu Mingliang and Guo Yifu won a record 127 million telephone votes, becoming the most popular program with the highest number of votes in the history of the Spring Festival Gala.

Ning Lan and Mo Fei's song "Meet Nine Eight" also received 89 telephone votes, surpassing the most popular show in last year's Spring Festival Gala.

The re-broadcasting of the TV show in various places, as well as the competing reports on the front pages of major entertainment newspapers, became the only hot spot for a while.

This enthusiasm lasted for a few days, and then gradually receded with the evening parties during the Spring Festival and the release of a Xiaohan idol drama, and returned to Xiaohan singer again.

During the Spring Festival, the four male and female groups from Xiaohan appeared frequently as if they were rushing to the stage. The least number of appearances was twice, and the most B5 group, counting the New Year’s Eve, they appeared as many as 4 times, and won in one fell swoop. Downloaded 4 most popular programs.

B5 became popular in China.

And the Xiao Han idol drama that was released has been promoted for a month before, and the treasure girl girl group 6 girls starred. On the first day of broadcast, it scored breaking 4 ratings in both Shenzhen City and Shanghai.

Compared with the previous popular "Youth in Progress", it is even better.

Movie reviews appeared on major entertainment newspapers and magazines, and various stills and photos of Treasure Girl were posted. The super high exposure made the youthful and lovely image of the 6 girls stand out time and time again. It is difficult to accurately quantify the popularity, but it is expected to rise rapidly!
With the passage of time, the popularity of Xiaohan's singers has been rising. At the Lantern Festival after the Spring Festival Gala, the queen of the Asian music scene, Li Zhizhi from Xiaohan parachuted into the Beijing Lantern Festival Gala. With her brilliant typhoon, solid singing skills, and iconic Yute Mai brought a brand-new audition experience to the audience and the audience in front of the TV, and surpassed the two front-line performers on the same stage in one fell swoop, and won the most popular program of the party.

In the next few days, major entertainment newspapers gave Li Zhizhi a large-scale report. Li Zhihui himself also appeared on the live talk shows of TV stations such as Magic City, Shenzhen City, and Guangzhou City, and gathered super high exposure for a while.

At this time, B5 and Treasure Girl announced that they will release a new album. In the past, Korean singers released albums all over Asia, including Huaguo, but mainly Hong Kong Island and Taiwan. It was released in Huaguo, which indicates that Singer Xiaohan officially entered the record market with the largest population in the world.

In February last year, Liu Mingliang and Li Kai released films at the same time. On the first day, the king VS rookie king. There is another battle of gods in the middle and upper reaches of the first line.

And this year, Liu Mingliang's expected release around the Spring Festival has not been targeted. Nisuo announced before the Spring Festival that Liu Mingliang's new album will be released in all of Asia, and the release time is around the end of April.

Murphy, He Jingyun, and other popular superstars have all released new albums in the past six months, so there is no release plan for the first half of this year.

In addition, Time Records announced immediately after the Spring Festival that the release of Li Kai's album will be postponed.

It can be said that B5 and Treasure Girl chose this period of time to release the film, avoiding a head-on collision with the most popular singer in Huaguo, which is the best time!
Of course, the competition will still be fierce. In the second half of last year, the trend of the domestic music scene changed. Many first-line singers had plans to release films, but because of the duel in two days, following the bet between Hua Can and Gun Xue, there were Avoiding the edge, I chose to delay the release of the film.

After the Spring Festival, it is the time for them to postpone.

In the second week after the Spring Festival, Zhao Yongkang and Wang Yanfen’s new albums were released one after another. In the third week, Liu Huiying’s new album was released. In this week, B5’s new album was also released. In these two weeks, the albums were released. There is one first-tier, three second-tier
In the fourth week, on the sales list, Zhao Yongkang ranked first with more than 22 copies, and Liu Huiying ranked second with 15 copies. The results of these two people are not surprising, but B5 ranked first with 13 copies. Sales ranked third, but it is surprising.

You know, this is B5's first week of sales, and the album has only been on the market for 4 days.

The major entertainment media did not hesitate to push the flames, collectively praised B5, and gave bold predictions. The most exaggerated even compared B5's album with Ning Lan's latest album in the same period, saying that there is little difference, which implies It goes without saying.

And this week's two new song recommendations, B5's album was the first hit, which overwhelmed Liu Huiying's album hit, and cleared the two charts in advance.

When the sales list was released next week, B5 leaped to the top of the list, with a sales volume of more than 26 copies, which was more than 19 copies more than the second place Zhao Yongkang with sales of more than 7 copies.

Everyone in the circle exclaimed, the media is blown away!
Zhao Yongkang is the quasi-celestial king, and he was suppressed by B5. From this, it can be inferred that B5's popularity in China has reached the top line, and even climbed to the top line.

In fact, such an inference is not objective, there is a clear standard for the level of singers, but the media ignores it, and they just give it a lot of praise, and even compare the popularity of B5 with Li Kai, Guo Yifu, and Liu Mingliang.

It gives people the feeling that B5 is already so popular.

At this time, the girl group from Xiao Han, Treasure Girl released the video, and Zhao Chuanxiong, the king of heaven, released the video on the same day, both on Tuesdays, 6 days in the first week.

A week later, when the sales chart was released, Treasure Girl leapt to second place, selling more than 21 copies, while Zhao Chuanxiong only had more than 13 copies, which was a gap of 8 copies.

The No. 5 is still B28, and its sales have reached a step higher, reaching more than [-] copies.

The two male and female groups from Xiao Han released their films nationwide for the first time, occupying the top two positions on the weekly sales list. For a while, they were extremely popular.

A number of entertainment newspapers reported on it, calling out that the domestic music scene is about to change.
