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

After opening the door, Zhang Songnian was stunned when he saw Li Xingruo lying on the sofa in the hall.

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

Li Xingruo looked at Zhang Songnian speechlessly and complained: "Why don't you make a sound when you open the door? You're just like a thief."

"..."

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

"Did something happen again?" Zhang Songnian asked with some uncertainty.

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

Yes, you can't ask about this.

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

Sure enough, being a star is really tiring.

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

Li Xingruo's phone vibrated and he picked up the call while looking at the caller.

After the call was connected, Zhang Lan's anxious voice came from the microphone of the mobile phone: "Xingruo, where have you been? 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 a commercial performance, you will be fined a lot of money.”

After hearing this, Li Xingruo said in a neutral tone: "Turn them all away, Sister Lan. I want to be alone for a while. As for the money, I'll fine you."

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

After doing all this, Li Xingruo 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, Li Xingruo has been faced with a steady stream of business performances and announcements.

Xinghuo seems to want to use this method to make Li Xingruo give in, either renewing the contract or working part-time for one year.

Naturally, it was impossible for Li Xingruo to agree to sign this long-term contract, which was similar to a prostitution contract.

Li Xingruo has been traveling between cities these past few days. It can be said that he is exhausted physically and mentally. He can only use his time to catch up on sleep.

If Li Xing is not a submissive person, if things go on like this the next time he doesn't say whether his body can bear it, his spirit will definitely not be able to bear it.

So if Li Xingruo comes back, she will have to rest for a while first.

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

The reason why Xinghuo dares to squeeze artists like this is simply because most of the artists in the company were discovered by Xinghuo himself in the private sector and basically have no background.

But I have a background, and it’s quite big.

Li Zhengrong is a big director in the industry. Even a company like Xingcan, which is at the same level as Jin Yu, has to give him face, let alone a small company like Xinghuo.

But back then, I had sworn to my father that I would not use his reputation as a false pretense.

If I really did this, Xinghuo's matter could be solved, but how would I face my parents?

If Li Xing was a shameless person and really did this, he would probably not be able to raise his head in front of his parents for half his life.

Li Xingruo shook his head and rejected the idea again.

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

If he can hit the position of a first-line singer, even if Xinghuo doesn't want to, the company can't act rashly.

The company's values ​​and operating system determine that it is difficult for Spark to have a superstar.

In all the years since the company Xinghuo was established, there has never been a first-tier singer, and the biggest one is only a second-tier star.

Any artist with some potential will find ways to get out of the fire pit of Spark after becoming famous.

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

Either continue to sign a contract with the company, or be exploited by the company for a year and a half when leaving 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 my debut. Although both albums have achieved platinum sales, the third album has consumed a lot of fans' expectations and its popularity has dropped a lot.

Even second-tier singers are still far behind first-tier singers, let alone where I am now.

Unless I can have an album worthy of triple platinum status.

What is the concept of a triple platinum album? It means that a song can achieve more than 500 million plays within a month on the new song chart.

This is somewhat difficult for Li Xingruo now.

Platinum records were defined in the 1980s and 1990s when the record era was emerging.

In that era, listening to music was still dominated by CDs and cassettes.

A record with sales of 25,000 is considered gold, 50,000 is considered platinum, 100,000 is considered double platinum, 150,000 is considered triple platinum, and so on.

But since the rise of the Internet, the way of listening to music has changed from CDs to MP3s, mobile phones, computers, etc. The definition of platinum records has also been adjusted accordingly.

In the Internet age, if a song is played more than 30 million times in a month on the new song chart, it is considered a gold record.

80 million plays can be called a platinum album.

A double platinum record requires more than 200 million views to be considered a double platinum record.

The standard for triple platinum is a bit higher, requiring 500 million views.

Although now everyone has more channels to listen to music and it’s faster.

However, compared with the definition of record honors, the standards are not the same, and the difficulty can be said to have only increased.

If Li Xing has never seen songs with triple platinum albums, then there are few, really very few.

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

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

Of course, it is unlikely that a company like Spark will be able to produce a triple platinum hit.

This means that you need to find songs by yourself, but if you are alone in the entertainment industry, where can you find those excellent songwriters to write lyrics and compose music for you?

He knew his father quite well, but if he really asked his father for help, it would be better to use his name to showdown with Xinghuo Entertainment.

Zhang Songnian walked up to Li Xingruo, glanced at Li Xingruo curiously, and then turned his hand into a palm and waved it in front of Li Xingruo a few times.

Then Li Xingruo said "yeah" and was startled.

Subconsciously, he leaned behind the sofa. After regaining consciousness, Li Xingruo glared at Zhang Songnian.
