Chapter 92 Accidental, Inevitable?
The bet with Lu Bin was witnessed by everyone, and Qiao Li did not stop it, but it was completely settled.

There are less than three weeks until September 9.

In Li Kai's contract, the initial fee of 20 yuan for a test single is double that of ordinary newcomers. Therefore, there is an extra half a week of pre-release promotion, plus a week of factory-made records. Say, by this weekend at the latest, the single has to be recorded.

After the meal, Ni Houdao went to arrange the recording, Su Ting followed, and Li Kai went back to the office area, had a cup of tea and an entertainment newspaper, rested for half an hour, and then wandered to the deputy director's office.

After the female secretary notified, she got up and said, "You are too impulsive."

Li Kai smiled: "You mean gambling?"

The female secretary didn't answer directly, but said: "The single is a bet against the album. The quality of the single is the same as the number one hit of the album. The sales volume in the first three weeks will increase by more than [-]% of the album. Go in."

With that said, he opened the door to the office.

This is the second time that Li Kai came to Qiao Li's office. The first time was a conversation in the sofa area. This time, a desk was separated, and the female secretary poured Li Kai a glass of warm water, and walked out lightly.

"What do you want from me?" Qiao Li asked while looking down at a document.

"I want to allocate 3 yuan for my next album to Tan Guangyue, so that his single can be played once on several music stations that are easy to get results during the golden week of November."

Qiao Li suddenly raised her head, and a flash of extreme astonishment flashed in her eyes. He thought that Li Kai would come to her, and also thought about possible topics, but he never expected that Li Kai would make such a request.

Record sales determine the level and future of a singer, and the record fee involves the singer's fundamental interests. Even if she is not interested in a certain singer under her hand, she will never reduce this part unless she completely tears her face.

She has been in the industry for six years, and she has heard of such things as voluntary selling, but she has never encountered it.

Li Kai met her eyes and said calmly: "I bet against Lu Bin. If I win, I can get 30 more. If I share 3, I will treat it as a profit and give it to my friends. If I lose, I will get 30 fee and 27." There's not much of a difference."

This statement is correct. The gap of 3 yuan does not play a decisive role. Qiao Li can even make up for it with a flick of a pen, but Li Kai's indifferent attitude makes her a little dissatisfied. the future seriously.

She suppressed her emotions, and said coldly: "This is not something you just let go."

Li Kai nodded: "It's indeed a bit of an exception, so I came to Mr. Qiao to discuss it with you. The extra 3 or less 3 will have little impact on my next album, but it is very important to Tan Guangyue."

He and Tan Guangyue have known each other for a short time, and the friendship has not been deep enough for him to pay for it out of his own pocket, or come up with a song, but because Tan Guangyue unconditionally supported him at the meeting, as far as he could, and had little influence on himself, Can or should help.

Qiao Li became quiet, and Li Kai knew that she was thinking, so she remained silent. At this time, the phone on the desk rang, and Qiao Li answered it. After listening to the report on the other end, she pondered for a while and said, "Don't hang up, wait a minute." .”

Afterwards, she covered the mouth of the speaker with her hands, and looked at Li Kai: "Today's meeting aimed at Lao Ni and Su Ting was just a feint. The real purpose of Lu Bin and Ning Lan's managers is to win record resources, so don't worry about it." It’s a grudge, everyone is trying to survive in the circle.”

"I see."

Li Kai agreed too readily, but Qiao Li was a little worried, and added: "I don't comment on whether you and Lu Bin are wise to bet, but I agree with what you said. For singers, record sales are the most important thing." It’s the truth, everything else is fiction.”

Li opened his head.

Qiao Li didn't say any more, and said to the phone: "Let Ning Lan come in."

After a while, the door of the office was pushed open, and the female secretary brought Ning Lan in. Seeing Li Kai, Ning Lan's eyes flashed with surprise, she smiled and called Mr. Qiao, and then nodded to Li Kai. Sit down at your desk.

After the secretary went out, Qiao Li said directly, "Ning Lan, you came to see me for the next album, right?"

A hit!

Ning Lan has been in the company for more than half a year, and she is quite familiar with Qiao Li's style. This is a woman who doesn't like to play tricks, and she is not embarrassed, she nodded slightly: "I used up a big favor when I got a song from Teacher Liu. , I hope that the project for the next album can be established as soon as possible, and the recording will be completed within two months, and it will be released before the end of the year."

Qiao Li thought for a while and said, "I have the title song, but I still need to collect other songs, release demos, and finally record them. Isn't two months too urgent?"

Ning Lan's eyes were firm: "The interval between two albums is three months, which is not uncommon in the industry."

Qiao Li was a little helpless, smile lines overflowed from the corners of her mouth, and her thoughts jumped: "What about the total cost? Millions will definitely not be approved."

Building in a million is not exactly 100 million, but synonymous with the highest specifications in the first line. With millions as the benchmark, it is considered normal to fluctuate within 30.00%.

For such a record with a huge investment, the record company's expectation, platinum within this year is just the beginning.

After Ning Lan's comeback, her first album was sold out. It is obviously impossible to maintain the same salary. The company has company rules, and the company is not just Ning Lan's big name.

Ning Lan was mentally prepared, pondered for a moment, and exhaled: "80, not less than 80."

"I will try my best to try it for you, and I will give you an answer within three days."

If the album fee is above the first-tier standard, it needs to be signed and approved by the general manager. Qiao Li felt that it was a bit difficult, but she didn't deny it.

After chatting for a few more words, Ning Lan got up to leave. As soon as she went out, Qiao Li asked bluntly: "In your judgment, Ning Lan's new album is not doing well. Is it accidental or inevitable?"

Li stared blankly, then pointed to himself: "Mr. Qiao, I haven't even released a record, how do you ask me to judge?"

Qiao Li was noncommittal: "Have you heard the songs in Ning Lan's new album?"

Li Jing hummed. The company has an audio-visual room that is open 24 hours. He has been in the company for almost half a month, and he spends two or three hours every day. He has listened to at least two songs of every singer's record in the company.

Qiao Li tapped on the table with a lush finger, accompanied by a rhythmic aggressive sound, she said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand the market, you are a songwriter, just judge from the perspective of your good song appreciation, and then give some points." Opinion, if I find it inspiring, I can consider making an exception for your request."

After all, I added another sentence: "You don't need a newcomer to comment on the taboos of the seniors in the circle. This is not in public, you are just giving me opinions, and the final decision is up to me. After going out of this door, I will pretend that you didn't say anything." Pass."
