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

Chapter 94 Not to be missed
The three of them agree that this song will be popular, and Li Kai is not surprised about this. "Suddenly Miss You" is different from some high-quality products that take a sharp edge, and it takes the most orthodox lyrical route of pop music.

In the domestic music scene in the 90s, various genres coexisted, but lyrical songs firmly occupied the dominant position. The six top-notch famous songs were all affectionate lyrical songs.

At the annual awards ceremony, lyrical songs accounted for more than half of the top ten golden songs.

The lyrics of "Suddenly Miss You" are full of affectionate words and sentences, simple but not vulgar, straightforward but not explicit, both men and women can take it all, directly poking tears, even the lyric songs gradually decline until they lose their dominant position Thousands of years ago, he was still able to win the very important HITO Pop Top Ten Golden Melody Awards. Now, it's no wonder it's not popular.

The key is how red it is.

The first title song of an album can only be called a hit if it breaks platinum, and the single only needs to sell 30 to be considered a little hit, break gold to be a hit, break platinum to become a big hit, and generally reach big hits, when the media reports, they will use big hits and big purples , Red through half the sky, popular all over the country, such a vocabulary.

But the real big hit, the definition in the music circle is breaking 150 million copies.

The same is red, the difference is huge!
The audition session is over.

After everyone left, Qiao Li deliberately stayed behind, went to a side door and knocked.

This is the utility room of the audition room. After a while, the door opened, and Ning Lan came out of it. According to the rules, singers are not allowed to participate in the audition meeting, but everything is flexible.

In the past few days, Qiao Li and Ning Lan had communicated several times. Ning Lan was somewhat resistant to the plan of releasing a single to test the waters first, and then releasing an album.

One album after another is made with a lot of money, which is in line with the status of a first-line singer, while testing the waters with singles is exclusive to newcomers.

For a singer of Ning Lan's level, Qiao Li didn't want to force her, so she asked her to listen to Li Kai's single together.

"How do you feel?" Qiao Li poured a glass of warm water and handed it over. In private, Qiao Li would never put on leadership airs, not to mention that Ning Lan entered the circle earlier than her.

Ning Lan said directly: "This song will become popular."

Qiao Li smiled lightly: "Trying the water with a single, the sales volume in the first month exceeds 30, and then the album project will be approved. The album production can be as short as three months, and as long as half a year. The company will increase investment resources and create it according to the expected platinum standard." .”

It is expected that the platinum standard will start with a total cost of 80 yuan, and with Ninglan's level, millions of dollars may also be approved.

Ning Lan understood the meaning, a tangle flashed between her brows and eyes, she silently took a sip of water, and suddenly said: "Sister Li, can you give me a sample?"

The demo was temporarily recorded by the company with a singer, and it's okay to spread it. Qiao Li nodded in agreement, and went to the reflection room to get a demo.

Ning Lan put away the sample, and said with an apologetic expression: "Sister Li, let me think about it and give you an answer on Monday."

Qiao Li nodded: "OK."

Originally, Ning Lan wanted to work out, but she changed her mind temporarily. She went out of the audio-visual room to call her cousin, then left the company directly, and took a taxi to Ye Yimeng Bar.

Still in the room behind the bar, Ning Lan took out a sample from her bag and gestured to Xu Qianqiu: "Listen and give me some advice."

There is a CD player in the room, which is still at the audiophile level, and the sound quality is not far behind that of a professional audio-visual room.

Xu Qianqiu leaned on the back of the chair, dragged his chin with one hand, and after listening to it from beginning to end, he was silent for another minute before he said: "As the title of the album, this song alone is expected to go platinum."

Ning Lan's eyes moved: "What if it's a single?"

"Single." Xu Qianqiu was a little surprised. After thinking about it, he gave a prediction with a large span: "The lower limit is gold, and the upper limit is not capped."

Ning Lan was quite surprised. Xu Qianqiu's evaluation of not being capped is too rare. Even if her album, which is now close to double platinum, was reviewed by Xu Qianqiu before its release, she only gave a platinum start within a year. , 160 capped estimates.

Facts have proved that Xu Qianqiu's judgment is very accurate, and the annual sales volume is more than 130 million.

Xu Qianqiu was born as a musical instrument player and can also write songs, but neither musical instrument nor songwriting is enough to be a celebrity. Back then, he was able to make connections far beyond his status in the mixed circle, and Ye Yimeng Bar enjoys the reputation of being the cradle of singers' debut. Accurate vision goes hand in hand with connoisseurship.

Ning Lan asked again: "How does this song compare to "Short Hair"?"

Xu Qianqiu thought about it: "The quality of the songs is comparable, and the sales volume is hard to say. However, if the two songs are released at the same time, I am more optimistic about this one."

Ning Lan hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "How does it compare to Teacher Liu Chunxi's song?"

This question is a bit acute. Liu Chunxi is a famous songwriter, and his works represent the top stream in the music circle. It is a kind of disrespect to compare a song with the works of a big guy!
Xu Qianqiu glanced at Ning Lan with a little surprise in his eyes, but he still said: "From a professional point of view, Lao Liu's song must be higher than this song, but the emotional expression is a bit reserved. I think, from the market From a perspective, this song may be better."

Ning Lan immediately asked: "So, if I sing this song, it will be popular?"

Xu Qianqiu was stunned, and shook his head: "Not necessarily, this song is suitable for male singers, and it will be greatly discounted if female singers sing it. In the trend of the 80s, male singers sing inspirational songs, and female singers sing sweet songs. Albums are easier to sell. Now the trend It has changed, just the opposite, the more affectionate male singers choose songs, the stronger female singers choose songs, and the easier it is to sell."

He was explaining slowly, but suddenly stopped, as if thinking of something, he looked at Ning Lan and said, "Both "Short Hair" and this song are the works of that Li Kai? Did you play the song sung by Li Kai just now?"

Ning Lan hummed: "But what you are listening to is the demos sung by other singers, he is the original singer."

Xu Qianqiu squinted deeply, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip slowly, and said slowly: "One song can be regarded as a flash of inspiration, two songs are not accidental, and one more song can be pre-determined Coffee, the marketing department of each record company is not a decoration, and those producers are not so slow, I dare say that once his single is released, there will be dozens if not a hundred people who ask him to ask him to sing a song."

After a pause, her thoughts jumped and said: "Before you retired, Su Yaqing was only in the middle of the first line, but now she ranks among the top line and becomes one of the last two. Even the sales volume of the last two albums has surpassed that of Murphy. The reason is that she There are two famous songwriters behind her, especially Luo Yusheng, who only write songs for her, and each song is tailor-made."

"Luo Yusheng's talent has mixed reviews in the circle, but his grasp of the trend can definitely be ranked in the top three. Li Kai and Luo Yusheng are very similar. I mean, do you understand?"

Ning Lan's heart skipped a few beats in disbelief. She just felt that Li Kai's works were not inferior to those in the circle. Unexpectedly, her cousin would compare him with Luo Yusheng. potential.

Looking at Xu Qiuqian with sharp eyes, as the number three female singer in the music industry, how could she not understand the meaning, the song becomes a singer, if you want to make a comeback with the next album, or even return to the peak of your ambition, you must have an excellent lyrics People's full support.

The well-known songwriters in the circle have already belonged to each other, and Li Kai, who is just showing his edge, is like gold half buried in the sand, not to be missed!
