Chapter 18 Difficulties
Zhang Songnian took a deep breath, emboldened himself, gently opened the door, and tiptoed into the room.

After opening the door, Zhang Songnian saw Li Xingruo lying on the sofa in the hall, a little dazed.

It's only been a few days, why is she back again?

Li Xingruo looked at Zhang Songnian quite speechlessly, and complained: "No matter how you open the door, there is no sound, just like a thief."

"..."

Zhang Songnian didn't dare to say that he thought his family had been burglarized, so he could only change the subject vaguely and ask, "Why are you back again?"

"Could it be that something happened again?" Zhang Songnian asked with some uncertainty.

Li Xingruo didn't answer, glanced at Zhang Songnian and said, "I'm hungry, let's cook."

Well, you can't ask about this.

Zhang Songnian immediately understood that Li Xingruo was in trouble again.

Sure enough, being a star is really tiring.

Zhang Songnian spread his hands helplessly, and then went straight into the kitchen.

Li Xingruo's cell phone vibrated, watching the caller pick up the phone casually.

After the call was connected, Zhang Lan's anxious voice came from the phone's microphone: "Xingruo, where have you gone? Even if you don't plan to renew your contract with the company, you can't hide. You still have several announcements and If you don’t go to commercial performances, you will be fined a lot of money.”

After Li Xingruo finished listening, he said in a neutral tone: "Push it all away, Sister Lan, I want to be alone for a while, and as for the money, I will be fined if I get fined."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Lan to continue, Li Xingruo directly hung up the phone and turned on the airplane mode of the phone.

After doing all this, Li Xingruo directly threw the phone aside and looked out the window in silence.

Since clarifying his attitude with Zeng Yongkang a few days ago, Li Xingruo can clearly feel the change in the company's attitude towards him.

In the past few days, what Li Xingruo faced was a steady stream of commercial performances and announcements.

Xinghuo seems to want to use this method to make Li Xingruo succumb, either to renew his contract or to work for a year.

It is naturally impossible for Li Xingruo to agree to sign this long-term contract, which is similar to a prostitution contract.

In the past few days, Li Xingruo has been traveling between various cities, it can be said that he is physically and mentally exhausted, and the time spent driving can only be used to catch up on sleep.

If Li Xing hadn't been a submissive person, if things went on like this, the next time he didn't say whether his body could bear it, his spirit would definitely not be able to bear it.

So if Li Xing came back, she had to rest for a while.

In fact, Xinghuo's problem is not unsolvable in Li Xingruo's view.

Xinghuo dared to squeeze artists like this because most of the artists in the company were excavated by Xinghuo himself in the folk, basically without any background.

But I have a background, and it is still very big.

Li Zhengrong is a big director in the industry, even a company like Xingcan who is at the same level as Jinyu has to sell him face, let alone a small company like Xinghuo.

But at the beginning, I swore to my father that I wouldn't use his reputation to pretend to be a tiger.

If I really did this, Xinghuo's matter can be resolved, but how should I face my parents.

If Li Xing was a shameless person, if he really did this, he might not be able to hold his head up in front of his parents for half of his life.

Li Xingruo shook his head and rejected this idea again.

At present, it seems that the only way to get myself out of this predicament is to raise my popularity to a higher level.

If I can hit the position of a first-line singer, even if Xinghuo is reluctant, the company can't act rashly.

The company's values ​​and operating system make it difficult for Xinghuo to have superstars.

The company Xinghuo has been established for so many years, and there has never been a first-line singer, and the biggest name is only a second-tier star.

But any artist with some potential will try to get rid of the fire pit of Xinghuo after becoming famous.

Most of the time, Xinghuo doesn't care too much, because when signing the contract, it is doomed that the artist will always suffer in the end no matter what.

Either continue to sign with the company, or be severely exploited by the company for a year and a half when you leave the company.

But the current situation is that it is a bit reluctant to say that I am a quasi-second-tier singer.

It has been more than a year since I debuted. Although both albums have sold platinum, the third album consumed the expectations of many fans, and its popularity has dropped a lot.

Even the second-tier singers are still far from the first-tier singers, let alone the current self.

Unless I can have an album comparable to triple platinum.

What is the concept of a triple-platinum level album? It means that the song can achieve more than 5 million plays on the new song list within a month.

This is somewhat difficult for Li Xingruo at present.

Platinum was defined at the dawn of the eight-90s record era.

That will be listening to music or CD, the era of cassette tapes.

Sales volume of 2.5 is considered a gold record, 5 is considered a platinum record, 10 is considered a double platinum record, 15 is considered a triple platinum record, and so on.

But since the rise of the Internet, the way of listening to music has changed from CD to MP3, mobile phones, computers, etc.The definition of a platinum record has also been adjusted accordingly.

In the Internet age, if the number of plays on the new song list exceeds 3000 million within a month, it is considered a gold record.

8000 million plays can be called a platinum record.

A double-platinum record needs more than [-] million plays to be considered a double-platinum record.

The standard for Triple Platinum is a bit higher, requiring [-] million views.

Although now everyone has more channels for listening to music, and it is faster.

However, compared with the definition of record honor, the standard is not the same, and the difficulty can only be said to increase.

If Li Xing hadn't seen songs on triple platinum albums, there were very few, really very few.

Generally speaking, only singers at the level of heavenly kings and queens can have a chance to hit this honor, and it also depends on the public acceptance of that album.

Li Xingruo frowned, if he wanted to release a new album now, it would be impossible to count on the company's resources.

Of course, a company like Xinghuo is unlikely to be able to come up with a triple-platinum hit.

Then this means that I need to find songs by myself, but I am only in the entertainment circle, so where can I find those excellent songwriters to write lyrics and compose for me.

My father knew quite a lot, but if I really went to ask my father for help, it would be better to use his name to have a showdown with Xinghuo Entertainment.

Zhang Songnian walked up to Li Xingruo, looked at Li Xingruo curiously, then turned his hands into palms and waved them in front of Li Xingruo a few times.

Then Li Xingruo let out a "ah" and was startled.

Subconsciously leaning back on the sofa, Li Xingruo glared at Zhang Songnian after recovering.

"What are you doing?!"
