save the bachelors

In July, Xiang Nan's third single was released, and Mary accompanied him on the journey again.
"A new song is released every two months, and each promotion is at least one and a half months." She told Xiang Nan, "In this way, isn't it twelve months a year, and every month is busy?"

"Now is the rising period of the career, so it must be busy." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, if the sales of this single are also good, the company will consider releasing the whole album.

At that time, you only need to concentrate on promoting this album.After the promotion is over, it is estimated that there will be a one-month holiday.At that time, you can take a good rest. "

Hearing what he said, Mary nodded.

She is not lazy, but she is not suitable for working from nine to five, she still prefers a free life.

And the job of a celebrity assistant is even more tiring than that of a nine-to-five office worker.

I am on call almost 24 hours a day. During the publicity period, there is almost no rest time. I have to eat and sleep on the road.

At the beginning, she still felt fresh.But after two months, she didn't think so anymore.

"Don't worry, big-name singers won't release an album for two or three years. We are just a little tired now. After two years when our fame is stable, we won't be so tired. By then, we can just lie at home and make money." Xiang Nan looked at her words and saw the fatigue in her eyes, and quickly said, "If you feel bored, why don't you take a break?"

"No, I'm not tired, I'm tired for you." Mary waved her hand and smiled.

"You are so kind." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

……

After the third single "patience" was released, it was generally well received.

Major music critics and radio DJs all spoke highly of this song, and believed that Xiang Nan had made another breakthrough in singing, melody, and lyrics.

Fans don’t think too much about it. As long as it sounds good, they are very supportive.Therefore, "patience" achieved a good position at No. 3 on the UK Hot Songs Chart in the first week of its release, and successfully topped the list the following week.

In addition, it has also achieved very good sales in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and other countries.In the United States, however, the song unexpectedly received a cold reception.

Although the media's evaluation was not bad, the audience's reaction was not as popular as "you are beautiful" and "cry me a river", and it only ranked No. 20 on the US Billboard singles chart.

Although such results are acceptable for newcomers, after all, Xiang Nan's first two songs performed very well, so they appear to be somewhat lacking.

Xiang Nan was also a little puzzled by this situation, and quickly invested more funds to increase the intensity of publicity.

In addition, an investigation company was invited to investigate and see what was going on.

……

Just as Xiang Nan was promoting his third single, Conklin was also secretly executed by Ward Albert.

Firstly, it was because he was ineffective and failed to catch the secret stealer in time, which caused him to be forced to shut down the stumbling block project; secondly, Conklin had some clues about him, so Albert could not let him continue to exist, so he simply killed him Yes, it's over.

After Conklin's death, Albert immediately came up with the Black Heather Project, which was more cruel, cold-blooded, darker, and more comprehensive than the Stumbling Block Project.

Unlike the stumbling block project, which is only responsible for assassination, and only for foreigners.

The targets of the Black Heather Project are much more comprehensive, and the scope of tasks it performs is much wider. Even Americans are involved in monitoring, stealing, tracking and assassination.

Subsequently, Albert's Black Heather Project was officially approved by the CIA and the U.S. Department of Defense, and officially launched.

Xiang Nan still doesn't know that the Black Heather Project has started, but he knows that the CIA will not learn to behave. Even if the Stumbling Block Project is shut down, they will definitely come up with a new plan.

Because the CIA is like the Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty, the purpose of their existence is to make things happen.

Even if there is no goal, they will create a goal, which is the value of their existence.Otherwise, how could Congress allocate tens of billions of dollars to them every year.

So Xiang Nan still didn't dare to be too arrogant, and would continue to fight the CIA.

……

After Xiang Nan's hard promotion, "patience" has achieved good sales in Europe, Australia and other places, and even sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Japan, Asia.

However, the sales in the United States are still not very good, and the sales volume did not exceed 150 million in the end.In comparison, "you are beautiful" sold 200 million copies in North America, and "cry me a river" sold 220 million copies in North America.

Xiang Nan was a little surprised that sales dropped so much.

Then, he saw the report made by the investigation company, and finally suddenly realized.

It turns out that American listeners still prefer dance music with exciting rhythms to lyrical songs with soothing rhythms.Because the party culture in the United States is that young people play together, drink, dance, and chat.

A hard-hitting dance track that lifts their spirits, sparks the party mood, and moves their bodies.But lyrical songs with a slow rhythm are only suitable for one person to appreciate slowly, so their popularity and popularity will be affected.

After Xiang Nan saw this report, he suddenly realized.

Just like the Chinese music scene, there are many singers with good singing skills and songs with beautiful melodies, but in terms of popularity, who can compare to Legend of Phoenix?When the square dance aunt's horn blared, even the most famous celebrities had to give way.

Therefore, for the fourth single, Xiang Nan chose the dance song "YEAH!".

This song is a dance song released by Usher in [-]. After its release, it topped the US Billboard chart and stayed at the top for twelve weeks. It also topped the Billboard year-end chart. champion.

In addition, this song also helped Usher win the Best Rap Collaboration Award, the MTV Music Video Awards "Best Male Singer Video" and "Best Dance Video" two awards.

This is a rhythm-and-blues song with a brilliant beat and smooth melody.It can be said that the artistry and commerciality have reached a very high level.

With this song, Usher successfully created a music trend called "CRUNK" and became king in one fell swoop.

Xiang Nan also hopes that he can replicate his success.

……

For his choice, Rhodes also expressed support.

Xiang Nan's first three songs are all lyrical songs, it's time for something different.

You know, fans have very finicky tastes.

They hate that singers remain the same, but they also hate that singers change too quickly and lose their characteristics.

And Xiang Nan has been debuting for nearly half a year, so he can change it a bit and let fans try different tastes.

If it is not suitable, it can be changed in time.

This is the point of a singer releasing a single instead of an album.

If a single is released, even if the fans are not satisfied, the singer can change it in time.

But the production cost of an album is much higher than that of a single.If the compensation is too miserable, the singer may be given up by the company directly.

Afterwards, the recording of the single "YEAH!!" officially started.
