Chapter 31403142【You are greedier than me】
Compared to fans’ disapproval, music critics spoke highly of this song.
I think Xiang Nan’s song is very polished, and the lyrics, rhythm, and even dance steps are all perfect.
It’s just because the music style changes so fast that fans can’t keep up. But they believe that as time goes by, they will eventually realize the value of the song.
?Compared to the disapproval of British fans, this song is also very popular in France, Italy, Bolan, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and other countries.
?Especially in the United States, this song debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts in the first week it was released, and even topped the charts the following week. This became Xiang Nan’s first No. 1 single.
In this way, the sales lost in the UK were all made up in the United States, not only without losing money but also making a profit. Therefore, neither Rodstadt nor Xiang Nan was sad because of the decline in popularity in the UK. Instead, they successfully opened the US market. , happy to win the championship.
“Let’s do more dance music from now on.” Rhodes suggested to Xiang Nan.
"I don''t think you should miss it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You know which cloud has rain."
?Dance music is indeed popular, and the market for slow and lyrical songs is not completely unavailable. Otherwise, American country music would not be so popular. Therefore, we should not go to extremes by favoring one over another. We must grasp it with both hands and be strong with both hands.
?Just like Brother Martian, there are high-energy songs such as "uptownfunk" and "24Kmagic", as well as the rap "mirror" in collaboration with Lee Wayne, as well as the slow and lyrical songs "talktothemoon", "leavethedooropen", etc.
?As a singer, just like an actor, you must be brave enough to try different styles and always bring freshness to your fans. Otherwise, if you repeat yourself every day, if you don’t get annoyed, your fans will get annoyed.
“You are more greedy than me.” Rhodes smiled.
Ordinary singers follow one style and it would be great if they become popular, but Xiang Nan actually wanted to kill him.
“Greed is the driving force behind human progress.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
“That’s right.” Rhodes smiled.
…
Subsequently, in order to make the song "YEAH!!" more popular in the United States, Xiang Nan immediately took his team to the United States for promotion.
?His current team has expanded to five people, including an agent, an agent assistant, a life assistant, a media assistant and a makeup assistant.
On the one hand, with his fame and income, he can already support these people without being too ostentatious; on the other hand, when he goes to the United States for the first time, he has to build up some momentum.
?The big-name celebrities in the United States are surrounded by people who cheer and support them. Agents, personal lawyers, nutritionists, makeup artists, stylists, fitness coaches, personal doctors...the list goes on and on.
There are even many people who do not have serious jobs and stay with celebrities just for eating, drinking and having fun. Such people are called "followers", which in ancient China were "helpers".
A star has as many as a hundred followers. In comparison, there are only five people around Xiang Nan, and they are all working people, so they are already very low-key.
Furthermore, Xiang Nan also wanted to reduce Mary''s work so that she could have more rest time.
With his current popularity, he has more and more things to deal with. Such as publicity and promotion, performance invitations, advertising shoots, charity events, and even award ceremonies.
?Mary alone is already too busy and needs the help of other assistants.
…
After arriving in the United States, the overall publicity process was similar to that in the UK.
The only difference is that the United States has a much larger land area than the United Kingdom, even the size of the entire Europe, but its population is only half that of Europe.
Therefore, if Xiang Nan and others have to rush for a trip, many times they can’t even drive overnight, and they even have to fly. Naturally, the hard work is much harder. On this day, six people came to Chicago, participated in a TV interview here, and participated in several local performances.
Because the song "YEAH!!" has a strong rhythm, ambiguous lyrics and graceful dancing, it is very popular in some entertainment venues. They are also willing to pay a high price to invite Xiang Nan to help them heat up the atmosphere.
?However, this kind of entertainment venues usually have a mixture of dragons and snakes. After the performance, when he received the money and left the venue, Xiang Nan was keenly aware of something wrong, "Go faster, someone is following you."
“No way?” Everyone was still confused, even Mary and her agent Roy were surprised.
Xiang Nan, however, trusted his intuition and quickened his pace.
?The others had no choice but to follow quickly and get into the nanny car together.
?But as soon as it started, before it could even drive out of the parking lot, several people suddenly jumped out and stood in front of Xiang Nan''s car, and they even had guns in their hands.
When Mary, Roy and others saw it, they were all frightened and froze.
?This is the first time they have encountered this kind of thing. Being targeted with a black gun made them think of their last words in an instant.
“Brother, you are very rich, hand over the money~” One of them pointed a gun at Xiang Nandao.
Xiang Nan looked at the gun in his hand and knew that with his ability, it would be effortless to deal with these robbers.
??However, the bizarre news of a popular singer subduing five armed robbers with his bare hands would be too sensational to avoid causing trouble.
? Xiang Nan pretends to be a star to hide his identity as a super agent. Now naturally, he can''t give away his identity for a small amount of money.
At that moment, he quickly took out the money and said, "Fifty thousand US dollars are all here. Let us leave."
“You’re wise~” the man said, then took the money, left with his companions proudly, and soon disappeared.
Xiang Nan immediately started the car and left here.
…
“Oh, I was really scared to death. It was the first time someone pointed a gun at me.” Jessica, the makeup assistant, couldn’t help sobbing.
“Me too, I almost peed just now.” Agent Vincent also said.
“I didn’t expect Chicago to be so chaotic. No wonder it’s called ‘Sin City.’” Media Assistant Steven also said.
“Dan, should we hire a team of bodyguards to protect us, no, to protect you?” Agent Roy asked.
“Well, let’s get in touch.” Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.
He has just started this promotion, and he has already encountered this kind of thing. Next, they will travel across the United States, to more than a hundred cities.
??If there is no bodyguard protection and this happens after every performance, it will make 100 million US dollars and not be able to keep a penny.
He didn’t want to reveal that he knew martial arts, so he had no choice but to ask someone to protect him. It doesn''t take much, just two teams of people at the front and back can deter the robbers.
After all, the kidnappers are not fools. They only bully those who look easy to bully. If they really encounter a big guy holding a gun, they will run faster than anyone else.
