save the bachelors

"What can I do?" Mary asked curiously.

"Come and be my personal assistant." Xiang Nan invited her, "This position has high salary and good benefits. The key is to always be by my side. In this way, I can be with you."

The star assistant's salary is about [-] euros per month, and he is responsible for helping Xiang Nan with his daily schedule, confirming his basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, protecting his personal safety, and so on.

Xiang Nan wasn't popular before, and he was too embarrassed to be too ostentatious, so he only had a manager with him.Even the costumes, make-up, styling and other work are done by myself during the performance.

No matter how he calculates now, he can be regarded as a well-known singer. With a manager and an assistant, it is not considered a ostentation.

Many artists in China are not as famous as him, and they dared to bring more than a dozen assistants shortly after their debut.He only brought two, which is considered low-key.

"What does the assistant do?" Mary asked curiously.

Xiang Nan explained briefly.

In fact, the assistant's work is still very trivial.

Serving tea and water, carrying bags and umbrellas, makeup photography, itinerary arrangement, booking tickets and meals, public opinion supervision, legal consultation, security guards... these things have to be done.

Of course, Xiang Nan will not use Mary as a nanny, but there is still a lot of work to be done.

Upon hearing this, Mary nodded, "It sounds interesting, then I'll try it out."

Xiang Nan smiled.

……

Afterwards, "cry me a river" officially launched its publicity campaign.

Its MV was sent to major TV stations in the UK and even Europe, and its CD was also sent to major well-known radio stations for publicity purposes.

And Xiang Nan also took Mary, and embarked on a new road of publicity with his agent, Sweet McRae.

From London to Edinburgh, from Liverpool to Dublin, from Amsterdam to Paris, from Belgium to Madrid... one stop for promotion, one stop for performance.

No matter how good a new song is, its vitality is limited. We must seize the time to promote it while it is still fresh, so as to obtain the best sales.

Otherwise, even the King of Pop Michael Jackson, once the publicity fails to catch up, the album sales will drop significantly.

Just like in [-], the new album "Invincible" released after he joined Sony Music, due to insufficient publicity, led to a sharp drop in sales compared to expectations.

Therefore, Xiang Nan had to hurry up to catch up with the schedule, which made Mary a little dumbfounded.

She originally thought that being a star was a very comfortable thing. Wherever she went, there were flowers and applause, countless fans, countless fans, countless lights... Thousands of pets gathered in one body, and there is something more beautiful than this Well.

But after she really became a star assistant and started to promote her schedule, she knew what it meant to be "the only way to be a master is to endure hardships and hardships".

Not to mention anything else, just to say that in order to catch up with the schedule, when Xiang Nan had to eat and sleep in the car, there was almost no time for serious rest in a day.

It made her feel that it is not easy to do any line of work.

……

In addition to promoting himself, Xiang Nan also secretly invested 800 million euros to create a public opinion offensive for this single.

He recently found a new opportunity to make a fortune.

That was the Japan-Korea World Cup held in [-].

European betting companies have already set their odds since the pre-World Cup qualifiers.

Traditional strong teams such as France, Germany, Brazil, Spain, and England are all very promising.

However, Xiang Nan knew that there were several big upsets in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

One is that South Korea eliminated Italy [-]-[-]; the other is that Senegal eliminated France; Agentine and Portugal stopped the group stage...

Because of frequent upsets, Xiang Nan really took the lead.

He made frequent bets with a principal of 500 million euros, and finally reaped nearly [-] million euros, which can be said to be a windfall.

Therefore, spending 800 million euros on the marketing of "cry me a river" is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

With such strong publicity, the sales and popularity of this single have naturally increased greatly.

It has successively ascended to the top of the music charts in seven countries including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, and achieved a good result of No.6 on the Billboard charts in the United States.It is estimated that if they work harder, it is possible to enter the top three.

This will also be the best result Xiang Nan has achieved.

……

While promoting the second song, the recording of the third single "Patience" also started.

This new song is the first hit song of Take That, the hottest boy group in England that year, after announcing their comeback in ten years.

In the first week of its release, the song ranked No.4 on the UK Golden Melody Chart, and directly became the champion of the Golden Melody Chart in the second week. It also won the Best Single Award at the Brit Awards for the group.

It can be seen that the quality of this song is really quite good.

Rod Start praised Xiang Nan.

It is not easy for a singer-songwriter to write one or two popular and popular singles in his lifetime.Xiang Nan, on the other hand, wrote one song after another, with inspiration pouring in like a spring, and he couldn't stop at all.

Today, the number of songs he has registered for copyright has exceeded [-].The quality of many songs is comparable to that of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan and Michael Jackson.

It also made Rod State admire Xiang Nan's talent very much, and said excitedly more than once that he really picked up a treasure.

……

Of course, this is also because it has attracted the attention of many major record companies.

Major record companies such as EMI Records in the UK, Bertelsmann Records in Germany, and Universal Music in the United States all offered olive branches to Xiang Nan.

They are willing to pay Xiang Nan a large signing bonus and liquidated damages for him, as long as Xiang Nan is willing to jump to their company.

Xiang Nan couldn't help being moved by this.

The so-called leaning against a big tree is good for enjoying the shade.Many artists, because of the strong support of capital, can become popular despite their lack of strength.

On the contrary, without the support of capital, no matter how powerful an artist is, they may be buried and disappear from the crowd.

Delos Records is a small company. No matter the production or distribution of records, it is not satisfactory, and it is far from the big record companies.

For example, the cost of releasing records, Delos Records is exhausted, and they can afford hundreds of thousands of euros.In comparison, Sony Records spent $500 million to promote Michael Jackson's records.

Even so, Michael Jackson thought that Sony's promotion was not strong enough, had a big fight with it, and almost turned his face.

But having said that, the big customers bully the shop, and the big shop also bullies the customers.

Although those big record companies are rich and powerful, they will have stronger control over singers and higher requirements.

If I cooperate with them, I will be subject to strong constraints, and will basically be reduced to a singing machine, without much freedom to speak of.

Therefore, most famous singers will set up their own label and form a cooperative relationship with the record company, rather than a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
