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

Chapter 590 Taking advantage of the void
Studio.

"...You are not really happy, your smile is just the protective color you wear, you decide not to hate, and you also decide not to love, to lock your soul in an eternal, locked body."

Dog Days sang the second title of their first album, "You Are Not Really Happy".

After half a year, when I heard it again, although there was no difference in general, as professionals, Li Kai and others could still hear the difference in details.

Lead singer Xiao He's breath control is more solid and longer than before, his voice is more free and smooth, and the transition between high and low sounds is also easier.

The singing of popular songs is different from bel canto. The latter emphasizes the standard pronunciation of each sound, while the former is more casual and pays attention to the listening experience of the whole song to the audience.

Therefore, whether he can enter and leave the kingdom of freedom is an important criterion for judging the quality of a pop singer's singing skills.

In layman's terms, it means that the vocal range is covered enough, and the singing skills are well integrated. When singing, the voice is full of emotion, and the voice is full of emotion. The emotion comes out naturally in the voice, without extra deliberate elements.

Xiao He's singing is still not perfect, but it has improved a lot. Before, it was Ye Luzi who relied on talent, but now it is really professionally polished.

The performance of the drummer, guitarist, and bassist, including the chorus, has also reached a new level. In addition to the improvement of skills and proficiency, there is also a little less personal passion and more teamwork.

After half a year of precipitation and training, Four Dog Days has completed the transformation from semi-professional to professional, and the effect is obvious!
Four Dog Days then covered two songs by other singers.

After singing the three songs, the four of Li Kai in the tuning room took off their earphones.

Shen Guanchang basically considered soy sauce, nodded silently, and did not express his opinion.

Ni Houdao commented on it from a professional point of view, with eight points of praise and two points of inadequacy.

Su Ting followed her own heart and gave affirmation. Don't look at the Four Dog Days band, Shen Jing, Liang Qiumo and other popular rookies. Their first albums all achieved good results. Ade and Jiang Yizhou, these two overage singers who are late bloomers, are much worse, and they cannot be compared with Ning Lan.

But now, the Four Dog Days band has made great progress, not to mention reborn, and it is not impossible to say that they have both idols and strength.

Li opened his head and smiled: "It's not bad, let's go straight to the album."

The three of them seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and they responded one after another, and they also smiled at the same time, but the smiles contained a bit of embarrassment and bitterness.

A few words of encouragement to the four of Xiao He, and a general mention of the new album's time points from preparation to recording to release. Li Kai didn't care about the specific arrangements.

Su Ting didn't have anything to do, so she told Li Kai to wait, went back to the office to get her bag, and left the company with Li Kai.

The two walked side by side on the walking path in the park.

Su Ting said worryingly: "Brother, counting the albums of the Dog Days Band, in the next three months, a total of 2 albums and 5 singles will be released in more than 10 countries in the Asian region, and one single will be released in more than 25 countries around the world." I did the math, and the total cost was 5 million yuan. I was worried about cash outflow. Now the group account is only more than 6 million yuan. Even if Huacan Records account is less than 2 million yuan, even if it is lent The total is only about 2 million, and the other record companies have only a few hundred thousand less and more than 5 million, which is only enough to maintain daily expenses."

Huacan Group and its record companies adopt a model of sharing risks and splitting expenses and income between four and six.

Taking Time Records as an example, if the book is negative every month, [-]% will be borne by itself, and [-]% will be subsidized by the group. If the book is profitable, [-]% may be handed over to the group.

The difference between the group's books and Huacan Records' books is because each of the group's record companies has one person to release the film. The total cost of 4 million cannot be paid by several companies, so the group put up [-]% first.

Li Kai said with a half smile but not a smile: "Are you crying poor on purpose, or are you trying to get me to credit without charging the work fee first? The six albums released in May and June should be able to make money, and they still make a lot of money." , Every month after closing the bill, there will be a large amount of cash coming in, can't you afford to spend 6 million in three months?"

Last year, Li Kai wrote songs for Huacan’s singers, which was counted as 30 a song, but now it is counted as 50 a song. Before, except for his own album, he only charged 10 songs for 3 songs, 150 million, which is [-] million for other singers. To write songs, one is unambiguous for one charge.

In the past two months, Li Kaiguang was writing songs, but he put 850 million in cash into his pocket.

Su Ting curled her lips: "I didn't say I couldn't afford it, but I was a little worried."

Li Kai was just joking, and knew that as the vice president of the group, it was right for Su Ting to be cautious in thinking about victory before defeat. She pondered for a while, and said with a jump in her mind: "You said, is it true that Xiao Han's singer entered the Chinese music scene?" Did it succeed, or did it fail?"

Su Ting was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Of course it was successful, but the most extreme situation did not occur, such as when the lyrical slow song genre became the absolute mainstream, but it is an indisputable fact that the Korean wave has become one of the mainstream, Xin Danyuan It is the best proof that Qingchun Bixiu and Qingchun Bixiu both entered the top 20 in weekly sales when 18 people released the film in the same week and [-] people released the film in the next week."

There was a hint of approval in Li Kai's eyes. Being able to see this layer shows that Su Ting has both the depth of vision and enough objectivity and reason.

You know, many people in the circle are now saying that the popularity of the small Hallyu has dropped sharply, and it will soon become a short-lived past tense.

It's all a form of self-deception, or emotion superseding reason.

In fact, Little Hallyu has already had its own fan base, and has occupied a place in the Huaguo music scene, which can be regarded as a firm foothold. However, due to the resistance of Li Kai and Huacan's singers, this place has not reached half of the country. Let alone domination of the world.

He said: "I was just inspired by the little Hallyu and imitated it."

These words were a bit abrupt, Su Ting couldn't help but startled, unable to digest her understanding, Li Kai explained what he was going to explain before, but because Su Ting and the other three did not object, he omitted the explanation: "The success of the Little Korean Wave lies in Three points, first, pop music rose earlier in Xiaohan than in China, and has a deeper foundation, and the singer training and operation system is more mature. The first half of the year has become a blank period. If it was a situation like last March where the gods were fighting, it would not be so easy for the little Hallyu to become invincible. It quickly became a trend.”

After talking about this, I turned to Huacan: "Huacan doesn't have the first item, but the second and third items can be used for reference. I mentioned Xiao Han's two kings and queens, as well as a group of front-line ones. The album has already been released, and I will not quit the new album in the short term. Next, there will be a gap in the Asian music scene. In addition, my Huacan singer has just released 6 albums in a row in China, and they are selling well. The momentum is booming , At this time, it is all about going all out to compete in the Asian music scene."

After a pause, the five words were emphasized again: "Time is waiting for me!"

This time, the time is not waiting for us, which is different from what I said before.

Previously, the focus was on the age of Huacan's singers, but this time the focus is on the timing of the release.

Su Ting's brain started to work, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and she said in her mouth: "Come in while I'm empty, let's go all out."

Pausing for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he said deeply: "Time is not waiting for me!"

Li Kai smiled: "Don't worry about it now."

Su Ting glanced at him: "How can you not worry about investing 5 million yuan, but you can't run a company without taking risks. This time the risk is worth taking."

After all, she seemed to think of something, she hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother, if Kong Yanyin has not transferred, like the Four Dog Days band, she will train steadily for six months, do you also have the intention to push her to enter the Asian music scene?" , or even release an album directly?"

Li Kai didn't hide anything, and murmured: "Kong Yanyin's voice condition is quite similar to Shu Zhen's, those few songs were originally prepared for her."

In the previous world, the debut of the Feier band was the pinnacle's first album. It was not only popular in China, but also in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.

Originally, he wanted to try to copy it through Kong Yanyin, but unfortunately
Su Ting sighed softly: "No wonder you said it was a pity."

Li Kai nodded without commenting.

on Monday.

Last week's sales table came out on time.

First, Li Kai, 274271.

Second, Red Heart Band, 272982.

Third, Shu Zhen, 263291.

Fourth, Dong Chengliang, 201637.

Fifth, cool strikes, 141243.

Sixth, popular girl group, 129182.

Seventh, Yang Fan, 107563.

Eighth, Gong Lifeng, 103183.

Ninth, Jenny Lin, 97261.

Tenth, Lu Haifeng, 84673.

This is the 8th week in a row that Li Kai has topped the list. The previous record of topping the weekly sales chart was 6 weeks held by Metal Bird, which was broken by Li Kai last week and set again this week.

The Chixin Band replaced Shu Zhen and reached the second place. The third week of the album's release, it reached the peak in the regular peak sales week.

According to the news from the distributor, this long-lost Cantonese classic has reproduced the sales of He Jingyun's first album in Hong Kong Island, Baodao, and Guangzhou. Incomplete statistics show the cumulative sales in these three places since its release. , approaching or even breaking through the 30 mark.

Shu Zhen fell to the third place. Since the piracy protection period was released at the weekend of the previous week, but the sales volume counterattacked and broke the 30 mark, it peaked and fell last week, with a drop of only more than [-]%, which can be said to be extremely rare.

After 31 days of listing, the cumulative sales volume was 125 million copies, equivalent to more than 121 million copies for a full month, reaching the default standard of 2 gold, which is less than [-] copies away from the default of [-] gold.

As a result, the suspense of whether it was successfully sealed was postponed for one month.

According to the rules in the circle, when it comes to the change of the singer's level, if the sales volume of the full month is marked with a certain word, then it will be judged by the sales volume of the next month, with [-]% and [-]% of the sales volume in the first month as the two dividing lines.

In other words, Shu Zhen's next month's sales were 73% higher than the first month's sales, [-] copies, which was considered as reaching the standard of [-] gold by default, that is, success after being sealed.

If it is lower than [-]% and higher than [-]%, it is still counted as the default quasi-[-] gold, and then judged by the sales volume of the next month.

If it is less than [-]%, it means that the post-sealing has failed.

Taking Shu Zhen's album weekly sales trend, the sales volume in the fifth week of release was actually comparable to the second week of the sixth round of all-inclusive two-chart new song recommendation, and the follow-up potential far exceeded the conventional upper limit.

It can be said that after the next month's seal, it is already very safe, but it is just dragging the tail and waiting for an extra month.

The seventh active queen in the domestic music scene is about to be born!

Counting the five heavenly kings, 12 super-first-line players stand side by side. This is an unprecedented event, and it may also be unprecedented.

Dong Chengliang came to the fourth, the second week of the album release, in the recommendation of new songs on the two charts last week, the first hit "The Moon's Trouble" achieved double clearance, while the second hit "Little Sun" was a five-round, A six round.

In general, the performance is considered good, but in the fierce competition of three records breaking 25 and too many records in the same period, it will break 20, which is not very impressive.

Cool Strike dropped to fifth, the fifth week of the album's release, the full moon sales were close to platinum, reaching the default triple platinum, the singer's rating is still first-tier, but it can be counted as a first-tier top stream.

Ranked five to ten, apart from Gong Lifeng and Yang Fan, the three of them have released their albums for two to three weeks, and their results are quite satisfactory. Lu Haifeng, who is at the bottom of the list, is a new male singer under Huage. He released his album last Thursday, with more than 8 copies in four days The sales volume is remarkable.

Generally speaking, the Huacan storm is still strong, and depending on the trend, it will last for a week or two before weakening.

Shu Zhen waited by the fax machine of the marketing department at [-]:[-], and immediately saw her own results on the sales list faxed by the Music Association, and she cried with joy.

Manager Feng Ling and assistant Lu Lu were also overjoyed.

Although it failed to meet the standard, the full moon defaulted to 120 gold and was directly sealed, but Zhou Yue won more than [-] million sales. With the strong stamina that anyone with a discerning eye can see, it is almost a foregone conclusion after one month with the next month's sales.

The long-cherished wish to hit the top line for many years is already close at hand and within reach!

Huage Records, Liu Huiying approached the music director.

Becca Records, Zhao Yongkang approached the boss.

Rolling Snow Records, Zhou Ziming approached Vice President Liao.

On behalf of Shi Records, Qu Yang approached Mr. Dai.

This kind of phenomenon is not uncommon in major record companies. These years, old singers who are close to or over [-] years old, above the middle reaches of the first line, and whose popularity has declined, all use Shu Zhen as an example to formally request transformation from the company.

At the same time, many new singers and popular rookies are worried. In the same week as Shu Zhen, the next week, there are a total of 54 singers released this week, and more than two-thirds of them are new generation singers.

Under the collective siege, a large area was laid down, but it still failed to prevent the transformed Shu Zhen from being crowned empress.

Iron-like role models have been erected, and a large number of record companies have turned to the resources of the new generation of singers. It is inevitable to deflect more or less in the opposite direction.

The impact of Shu Zhen's successful transformation finally appeared after the full moon of Shu Zhen's album.

Just when some people in the circle were happy and some were worried, and there was a lot of turmoil, Li Kai followed his parents, took his younger sister and boarded the train bound for Nanshi together.
