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

Chapter 85

"Wouldn't it be one of the Four Heavenly Kings two days later?"

"Almost, you and I know each other, Queen Zhuntian, Ning Lan."

Ning Lan, among the eight singers under Qiao Li other than him, Li Kai is the only one who has never met face to face.

No, there was still a once-in-a-lifetime relationship, that is, in the elevator on the first day of work, Ning Lan was wearing a mask and did not see her true face.

This is because Li Kai saw the middle-aged woman reprimanding Su Ting in the cafeteria, and learned from the female secretary that the middle-aged woman was Ning Lan's agent, so he deduced it.

During this period of time, Ning Lan basically went outside to promote her new album. Even if she entered the company, she was like an invisible person.

"Guangyue, I have always wondered why sister Ning was the Queen of Heaven before she retired? Not Queen of Heaven, or Little Queen of Heaven." Li Kai didn't like to inquire about other people's privacy, but he was very curious about the title of Queen of Heaven in her previous life on Earth. The music scene in China, no matter domestic or international, has never given the crown to any female singer.

Tan Guangyue looked at him with strange eyes: "You are also a singer in the circle after all, and you don't even know this?"

Li Kai found an excuse: "I was a sports fan in junior high school, and I only started listening to pop songs in high school."

Tan Guangyue snorted, and said that Ning Lan's life was not good, and then said: "When she was popular, it was the time when Hong Kong Island and the Mainland respected each other and fought against each other. Wang Jingfang from Hong Kong Island and Mo Fei from the Mainland, these two Women's album sales are at least 150 million, which is half a grade lower than Ning Lan's, but half a grade higher than other first-line female singers."

"The title of Zhun Tianhou was given to her by Rolling Snow Records, one of the five giants of her employer at that time. It is higher than those few little queens, but lower than the two big queens."

"Actually, it's a helpless move to settle for the next best thing. If she insists on becoming the queen, it's not impossible, but she will be sprayed by the huge fan base of the two queens. They are singled out by gods. Why are you a weak fairy joining in the fun? , If the three of them really want to fight, whether it is album sales or annual awards, Ning Lan must be the one who is suppressed. Die-hard fans are a minority after all, and it is difficult not to lose them if they are repeatedly frustrated."

"But it's a bit out of character for her to be named together with those little queens. The music scene back then was not like it is today. As long as there is a record that is close to platinum sales, you can be called a little queen."

"Anyway, as soon as the title of Zhuntian Empress came out, Ning Lan's fans would not decrease but increase. If she didn't retire, after Wang Jingfang married and retired, she would definitely be the top one. Now the music world will not be the second queen, but the third queen. And after she retired, the title of Empress Zhuntian seemed to be sealed, and no other female singer has ever been on top."

After hearing this, Li Kai understood, but his understanding was slightly different from Tan Guangyue's. Back then, Ning Lan's helpless move was correct, but it was also a smart move when she called the Empress Zhuntian.

The helplessness is that they are indeed weaker than the two queens. If they insist on respecting each other, that would be a challenge, just like in the 80s on earth, when Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Zhang fought against each other, just like the four kings of the 90s. At that time, any other singer wanted to squeeze in Competition will definitely cause strong rejection from these fan groups, leading to a decline in popularity.

Fans can like N singers, but they also like them to different degrees, but there is one thing in common, the No. 1 in their hearts cannot be violated.

The reason why I say smart is that it is the quasi-word for Queen of Heaven, which means showing weakness. It is human nature to sympathize with the weak, especially for women. In this way, it will make your fan base more stable and absorb Some of the fans after two days, let themselves become the No2 existence in their hearts, and after two days from prosperity to decline, then is the opportunity to replace them.

Of course, from another perspective, Ning Lan is not the kind of woman with a strong personality. Otherwise, with her status as the number three female singer in the past, even Gun Xue, one of the five giants, would not be able to force her to wear such a weak personality. title.

The scale of Meng Yiye is average, and the decoration is average. From Li Kai's point of view, it is just an ordinary medium-sized bar. The only difference from the bars in Nanshi is that it has a stronger artistic atmosphere.

The murals on the wall are all abstract. The stage here has performances starting at eight o’clock. At the beginning, it’s not singing, but playing musical instruments, playing the saxophone, playing the accordion, etc. According to Tan Guangyue, from nine o’clock, there will be performances. It's the turn of the singers to sing, there are seven or eight singers in one night, and it doesn't end until three o'clock in the morning.

The two found an inconspicuous table and sat down. First, they ordered a dozen small bottles of beer and a few snacks. They felt that they were not enjoying themselves too much, so Li Kai asked him to remove a bottle of foreign wine.

After mixing the wine, Li Kai was fine, but Tan Guangyue couldn't stand it anymore, her face was as red as blood, and her speech turned into a big tongue.

"Brother, my fucking life is bad, I have lost my words. When I released the single, everyone from the top to the bottom of the department was optimistic. I will definitely sell better than Asu. I think so too. Yes, but in the end, I ran into the dark horse of "Short Hair", and a dark horse trampled a lot of people to death."

"Brother, do you know that your song "Short Hair" has made Xu Qiaoling popular, but how many singers recommended new songs on the two charts of "Short Hair" to advance to the sixth and seventh rounds of the week because of your "Short Hair"? Not to mention much, the sales of more than a dozen album singles released in the same week were at least [-]% lower than the estimated sales."

"My single was originally expected to break through the 10 pass line in a single month, and the minimum sales were 8. Now, it has been less than 6 in three and a half weeks, and the sales in the first month are definitely less than 7. The pass line is hanging."

"I can't eat or sleep these days. If this continues, I suspect that I will become crazy."

"Brother Zhang, don't get me wrong, I don't blame you, I blame my own bad luck, drink, drink."

Li Kai was also speechless, it would be bad luck if he opened his mouth and kept his mouth shut, so how could he answer it?forget it, drink
The two drank two more glasses, Tan Guangyue hiccupped, stood up and wandered to the bathroom, Li Jian saw that he was okay, so he didn't follow.

This trip lasted 10 minutes, Li Kai was a little worried, and was about to find him, when Tan Guangyue wandered back again.

"I thought you fell asleep right there."

"No way, let the water line up outside the door."

Tan Guangyue threw a few peanuts into her mouth, chewed and said suddenly, "I'm so glad I saw Ning Lan."

Li Kai was amused: "What is it like, it's not like you don't know her."

Tan Guangyue tapped her head: "That woman is wearing a pair of sunglasses. I look at her figure, but I'm not 100% sure. Leave her alone and continue drinking."

The two drank two glasses again. Li Kai felt a little drained. He got up and went to the bathroom. When passing through the crowd, his eyes flicked inadvertently, and suddenly his eyes froze, and he paused on the small booth in the corner.
