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

Chapter 563 New song debut
The International Music Top [-] List, referred to as the Top [-] List, is the most authoritative list in the international music scene, just like the Billboard, the Golden Melody Chart in the domestic music scene, and the Billboard in the Asian music scene.

To be eligible to compete for the Top 18 list, a singer's album must span at least two continents and be released in more than [-] countries.

Chinese singers have been on the Top 5 list 30 times, all of which are below the 4th place, while Asian singers have been on the Top [-] list for less than [-] times. Before that, they only entered the top [-] [-] times, all of which were island singers.

This time, although Li Kai's work was not sung by singers from the Hua Kingdom or the Asian region, it made him the first Chinese songwriter to be on the Gold List of the Top [-], and he was also the only one other than the island country songwriters. Sub-field songwriter.

It was a bit of a coincidence to call Li Kai a "genius" when he was brought up against Long San and other small Korean lyricists, and it was even hopeless.

There is no way, whether it is historical achievements, or the current influence in Asia and the international music circle, there is no songwriter in Huaguo who can even be compared with Xiao Han, a famous songwriter.

But now, the situation is different. With just one song, it cannot be said that Li Kai has surpassed all Xiaohan's songwriters, but he has actually achieved a dazzling achievement that all Xiaohan's songwriters look up to!
With this dazzling achievement, no one among Xiao Han's songwriters is qualified to look down on Li Kai, even the title of "genius" cannot be denied!

This can be said to be a powerful attack on Xiao Han's music culture, which is trying to implant in Huaguo, and even a heavy blow!
"As Long As You Love Me", former earth, the world's best-selling boy group, known as the "king of the boy group", one of the most popular songs of the Backstreet Boys, the album included broke the diamond sales in the United States.

In the history of the United States, there are only 88 albums that have broken diamond sales, from the first one in the 60s to the last one in 16, spanning more than 50 years, which is equivalent to less than 2 records per year on average.

This shows how high the gold content is.

This time, as Xicheng Boys' debut work, it was released as a single, and it received good feedback from many places in just three days.

After the first broadcast on a music station in a non-fourth country, the number of on-demand music calls on the next day ranked among the top three.

The first batch of supplies in the island country was 20 copies. After 48 hours of sales, more than half of the stores were out of stock.

On the second day after its release in Canada, it reached the top ten of the local music charts.

In the United States, dealers in 11 cities added orders within 72 hours.

Of course, all the good feedback can only be used as a reference. Whether this single is popular or not, and whether it will be a big hit depends on the top [-] ranking and weekly sales data.

The top 10 list is a barometer, which is closely linked to the weekly sales data. The marketing departments of major record companies can even roughly estimate the weekly sales based on the rankings on the top [-] list, and the error usually does not exceed [-]%.

After spending the night in the sky, it was already the next morning when the three of Li Kai returned to China.

When going through the security check, John's overseas phone call came to Qiao Li's mobile phone, and she told Xi Cheng Boy's single on the top [-] gold list with an excited voice, and expressed her strong desire to cooperate with Li Kai again.

Exiting the airport through the VIP passage, the three of Li Kai got into a taxi and drove towards Li Kai's house.

After putting the driver down halfway, Li looked sideways at Qiao Li and said with a smile, "I'm going to see my parents and sister soon, aren't you a little excited and nervous?"

At the beginning, Qiao Li gave Li Kai an affirmative answer to Li Kai's family's proposal after careful consideration during dinner the day before yesterday.

As for the family, Li Kai had communicated with her early in the morning. He called the family in front of Qiao Li, told his father Qiao Li's decision, and gave the phone to Qiao Li, chatting with his parents and sister for a while.

When returning to China right now, the first thing is naturally to go home.

Qiao Li didn't answer, but just gave him a blank look, and squeezed the jade palm. The palm was a little hot and humid, and she was indeed a little nervous, but it was more of longing and anticipation.

After half an hour.

Li Kai rang the doorbell, and it was Li Ran who opened the door. She had seen Qiao Li behind Li Kai, and she called her sister with a smile.

Father Li stood up from the sofa, and Mother Li also came out of the kitchen, looking at Qiao Li with a kind smile on her face, she didn't know what to call her for a while.

"Mom and Dad." Li Kai yelled, stuffed the trolley case to Li Ran, looked back at Qiao Li, and was about to introduce her, but Qiao Li took a breath and bowed to Li's father and mother, her tone Respectfully shouted: "Dad, Mom."

I have already called on the phone, but calling in person, given Qiao Li's experience, it is inevitable that she will be a little cautious.

"Hey, girl, this will be your home from now on, and we will be one family." Li's mother stepped forward to hold Qiao Li's hand, happy and excited, and Li's father nodded repeatedly.

"I'll take a shower first." Li Kai was most afraid of the sensational scene, so he went upstairs in a hurry.

When he came down from upstairs after taking a shower, only Father Li was left sitting on the sofa in the living room. Li opened his eyes to see his mother in the kitchen, came to sit next to his father, and said casually, "Where are they?"

Father Li raised his chin toward the stairs: "Xiao Ran took Lili to the room to take a bath."

Hearing the address "Lily", Li Kai was not used to it, so he touched his nose with a dry smile.

Father Li picked up the teacup and took a sip of water: "I heard that you are going to release a record at the same time as Xiao Han's most popular singer?"

Li was stunned. Since his debut for more than a year, the media has reported on him constantly. He knows that his family must be concerned about him, but he never takes the initiative to bring it up. Today, why did Dad suddenly gossip?
Seeing his surprised expression, Father Li smiled: "Last week, Xue Bing, Guanchang, and Guanchang's girlfriend came to play at home, and they chatted during dinner, saying that the music scene in our country is about to become a small Korean singer. The world is over, whether it is a complete fall or a desperate comeback depends on the duel between you and Xiao Han, that heavenly king."

Li Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is too exaggerated, it's not that serious."

Father Li put away his smile, and he was not serious, but his tone was very serious: "I don't understand things about the entertainment industry, but there is one thing, where we Chinese don't allow foreigners to make decisions. You are a Chinese singer, and you have a duty to do it." , The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the gains and losses of interests are the second, so we must go all out."

Li's father is not an angry youth, but he was a young man with a strong patriotic feeling when he was young.

Facing his father's earnest eyes, Li Kai was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

For lunch, Li's mother cooked a table of home-cooked dishes. During the meal, the atmosphere was happy and harmonious, but it was a little more enthusiastic among relatives and friends, and a little less casual as a family.

This cannot be forced. Qiao Li came here for the first time today as a recognition of the family. After a few days to officially move in and live together, she will gradually integrate into the family atmosphere.

After the meal, Li Kai and Qiao Li went out, they came and went in a hurry, it was not that Li Kai used his house as a hotel, but something really happened.

The release date of his album has to be scheduled, and the publicity plan has to be finalized. The relevant personnel of the company are waiting.

The two stopped a taxi and went directly to Time Records.

Today is the first day of May, and it has already entered the May Day holiday. Most of the singers either have commercial performances or are going to the May Day parties in various places tonight. The music department seems to be empty.

Li Kai came all the way to his lounge, while Qiao Li went back to the office, and then found relevant people for a meeting.

On the desk in the lounge, there were three stacks of thick newspapers. Li Kai poured himself a glass of water, took a few of them, flipped through them briefly, and took a few more
As time passed, he showed a helpless and funny expression on his face, shaking his head from time to time. These are entertainment newspapers, and each one is related to him, which was obviously sorted out by Zhang Linxiao.

There were 21 copies yesterday, 17 the day before yesterday, and 20 the day before yesterday. These are all large and medium-sized entertainment newspapers, and they are all on the front page, or the sub-pages are full of space.

It can be said that it is really overwhelming. When it broke out that four days later, they would fight for a husband. The unspoken rules, the negative news of two men and one woman first in the bar and then in the hotel, was much less intensive.

The relevant content naturally revolves around his game with Xiao Han, the songwriter and singer.

There are commentary articles written by music critics, and interview reports. Domestic big and small singers have emerged one after another, and big and medium lyricists have appeared one after another. They all support him, even at the expense of self-deprecation.

This made him deeply feel that this time, the Huaguo music circle put all their eggs in one basket on him, and truly regarded him as the last line of defense.

The pressure must be there, and it is still heavy, but there is no timidity, but a long-lost fighting spirit, and the blood in the body is faintly warming up.

Before he knew it, he had flipped through a stack of newspapers, more than a hundred. He drank water, pinched the acupoints between his eyebrows a few times, and was about to reach out to another stack of newspapers when there was a knock on the door.

Then, the door of the room was pushed open, and Qiao Li and Zhang Linxiao walked in one after the other.

Qiao Li asked directly: "The master tape will be sent to the factory tomorrow. The first batch of 5 copies can be dubbed in 50 days, and it can be delivered to stores around the world in two days. The film will be released on Monday, May 5. How about it?"

Li Kai had no objection, and nodded.

Qiao Li handed over a piece of paper: "The warm-up promotion starts today. Tonight is the May 4st party of Shenzhen TV Station. Tomorrow night, there will be an interview with Shanghai TV Station. The night after tomorrow, there will be a live program on Jiangshi TV Station. On the evening of the 5th, there will be a talk show at Beijing TV Station." On the night of the 6th, a variety show with the second highest ratings on Hong Kong Island, on the night of the 7th, a variety show with the third highest ratings on the Taiwan Island, and on the afternoon of the 8th, a live broadcast on Guangzhou Music Station, On the evening of the 9th, the judges of a singing competition in Nanshi will return to Shenzhen on the morning of the [-]th, and the album launch will be held in the afternoon."

Li opened his eyes, and listened to her talk about the 8-day pre-heating publicity plan. Every day is full, and there is no one day. It is still the first line. The TV stations in the provincial capital cities live broadcast interviews at night, as well as variety shows with top ratings on Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island. A look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"This is just a pre-heating publicity, how much does it cost?"

The first week of the album’s release was promoted, and live interviews were broadcast on TV stations in the four major first-tier cities. They were called the Four Grand Slams in the circle. In the past, that was the treatment only for the super-first-line. Yes, it's only enough for a luxurious three-piece suit.

But now, his album is just a warm-up promotion, and it has almost doubled the four Grand Slams.

Is this too exaggerated?
That's all for the pre-heating promotion, so what if one or two rounds of promotion after the film is released?

Qiao Li replied: "The total promotional cost is 200 million, and the pre-heating publicity investment is 80. If there is any shortage, the 6 record companies including Nisso, Wagner, and Daishi will make up for it equally."

Li opened up and stayed for a moment before saying, "The live broadcast doesn't mean it's just going to be on the show, it needs to be reserved in advance, and you've already called back to arrange it?"

Qiao Li shook her head slowly: "Now the entire Huaguo music circle puts you first, and the three live interviews are from Nisuo, Huage, and Daishirang."

Li Kai didn't know what to say, a bitter smile melted on his face, he sighed inexplicably, nodded and said: "Okay."

Qiao Li said: "Which song is going to be sung on May [-]st night of Shenzhen TV station, I have to report it immediately."

Li Kai pondered for a while, and then said: "Since the pre-heating promotion has started, let's debut a new song, not the first one."

Seeing Qiao Li's hesitation, Li Kai guessed what she was thinking, and said firmly: "The first song on the new album must bring a little freshness to the fans, so that they can look forward to it even more. You have to have confidence in me."

Qiao Li was silent for a while, then smiled slightly: "That's right."

Then he ordered Zhang Linxiao to notify the marketing department to contact the TV station.

Shenzhen TV Station, May Day Gala.

There are a total of 9 singing programs, one bel canto, one folk song, and the other seven are popular songs.

According to the original arrangement, the singers of the 7 popular songs are, under Shuteng Records, Jiang Shanlan, under Huacan Records, Ade, under Time Records, Cool Come, under Becca Records, Nie Lanxin, Hui Laijing Records push, PINKS, new male singer under Huage, Ma Hanchu, and Daishi Records, Xu Qiaoling.

Now, the top six singers remain unchanged, and Xu Qiaoling is replaced by Li Kai.

In this way, under Time Records, there are two singers on the stage. According to the default rules, this is not allowed. It has only appeared once before. It was because a singer temporarily sprained his foot, so Shuteng Records One of its singers is on top.

This time, the TV station obviously made an exception.

And the reason why Li Kai didn't replace Cool Invasion under the same company is that Xu Qiaoling is a top singer, replacing her, and singing on stage is the prime time of the show with the highest ratings. Although Li Kai is not super first-line, but The popularity is not worse than the first-line, and being on the same stage with Xu Qiaoling will become the king of kings, which should be avoided as much as possible in the three gala shows other than the Spring Festival Gala.

The party started at 05:30, and Li Kai arrived at 06:30. He ate some food in the lounge, then went to the dressing room to get his hair done, put on light makeup, and changed into a performance costume. At [-]:[-], he arrived waiting area.
