Save the Bachelor of Heaven

   "What way?" 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 4,000 euros per month. He is responsible for helping Xiang Nan with his daily schedule, confirming basic necessities of life, ensuring 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.

  Now, no matter how he counts, he is still a well-known singer, and bringing an agent and an assistant is not considered a show.

  Many domestic artists 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 gave a brief explanation.

   In fact, the work of the assistant is still very trivial.

  Serving tea and water, carrying bags and opening 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.

  Mary nodded when she heard it, "It sounds interesting, then I'll try it."

  Xiang Nan smiled.

  …

  Subsequently, "crymeariver" officially started 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 manager Sweet McCree.

  From London to Edinburgh, from Liverpool to Dublin, from Amsterdam to Paris, from Belgium to Madrid...promoting and performing at one stop.

   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 2001, the new album "Invincible" released after he joined Sony Music, due to insufficient publicity, led to a sharp drop in sales compared to expectations.

  So 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 loves gathered in one body, there is nothing more beautiful than this .

  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 become 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, Xiang Nan has to deal with eating and sleeping in the car, and there is almost no time for serious rest in a day.

   She had to feel that it was not easy to do any line of work.

  …

  In addition to promoting himself, Xiang Nan also secretly invested 8 million euros to create a public opinion offensive for this single.

  He recently found a new opportunity to make money.

   That was the Japan-Korea World Cup held in 2002.

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

  Traditional strong teams like 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 2-1; 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 bet frequently with a principal of 5 million euros, and finally reaped nearly 200 million euros, which can be said to be a windfall.

   Because of this, spending eight million euros in marketing for "Crymeariver" is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

  Under such strong publicity, the sales and popularity of this single will naturally increase greatly.

   It successively climbed to the top of the music charts in seven countries including the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, and ranked sixth 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 Xiang Nan's best result.

  …

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

   This new song is the first hit song after the most popular boy group in England, takethat, announced their comeback after a lapse of ten years.

   This song won the fourth place in the UK Golden Melody Chart in the first week of its release, and directly became the champion of the Golden Melody Chart in the second week, and also won the Brit Award for Best Single Award for the group.

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

  Rod Stat 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.

  Now, the number of songs he has registered for copyright has exceeded 500. 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 Stat 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.

  Large 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 switch to their company.

   Xiang Nan couldn't help being moved by this.

  The so-called leaning against a big tree can enjoy 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 dead, and it can only afford hundreds of thousands of euros. In comparison, Sony Records spent $25 million to promote Michael Jackson's records.

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

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

  Most of the singers who become famous for this will set up their own label and form a cooperative relationship with the record company, rather than a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
