Save the Bachelor of Heaven

In July, Xiang Nan's third single went on sale, and Mary accompanied him on his journey again.

"A new song is released every two months, and each promotion lasts for at least one and a half months." She told Xiang Nan, "In this way, wouldn't it mean that we are busy every month, twelve months a year?"

"Now that my career is on the rise, I will definitely be busier." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, if the sales of this single are good, the company will consider releasing an entire album.

At that point, all I have to do is focus on promoting the album. After the promotion is completed, it is estimated that there will be a month's holiday. Until then, you can relax. "

After hearing what he said, Mary nodded.

She is not lazy, but she is not suitable for a nine-to-five job. She still prefers a casual and free life.

The job of a celebrity assistant is much more tiring than that of a nine-to-five office worker.

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

At first, it felt fresh to her. But after two months, she no longer thought so.

"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 feel tired for you." Mary waved her hand and smiled.

"You're 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 have spoken highly of this song, saying that Xiang Nan has 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" ranked third on the UK Hot Songs Chart in the first week of its release, and successfully reached the top spot the following week.

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

Although the media received good reviews, the response from the audience was not as popular as "you are beautiful" and "cry me a river". It only ranked 20th 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, so he quickly invested more funds and stepped up publicity.

In addition, an investigation company was invited to find out what was going on.

…

While Xiang Nan was promoting the third single, Conklin was also secretly executed by Ward Abbott.

Firstly, it was because of his incompetence and failure to catch the spy in time that he was forced to shut down the Treadstone Project; secondly, Conklin had some information about him, so Albert could not let him continue to exist and simply killed him. That’s it, it’s all over.

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

Unlike the Treadstone Project, which was only responsible for assassinations, it only targeted 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 US Department of Defense and officially began implementation.

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

Because the CIA is like the Dongchang during the Ming Dynasty, the purpose of their existence is to cause trouble.

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

So Xiang Nan still doesn't dare to be too arrogant, and will 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, sales in the United States were still not very good, and sales ultimately did not exceed 1.5 million. In comparison, "You Are Beautiful" sold 2 million in North America, and "Cry Me a River" sold 2.2 million 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 realized it.

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 dance music with a strong rhythm can cheer up their emotions, stimulate the atmosphere of the team, and move their bodies. However, lyrical songs with a slow rhythm are only suitable for one person to enjoy slowly, so their popularity and popularity are 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 many songs with beautiful melodies, but in terms of popularity, who can compare with Phoenix Legend? As soon as the square dance lady's horn sounds, no matter how big of a star the star is, she has 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 2004. 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 Award for "Best Male Vocalist Video" and "Best Dance Video".

This is a song that leans towards rhythm and blues, with a great beat and smooth melody. It can be said that both artistic and commercial aspects have reached a very high level.

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

Xiang Nan also hopes that he can replicate his success.

…

Rhodes also expressed support for his choice.

Xiang Nan's first three songs are all ballads, so it's time to do 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.

Xiang Nan has been debuting for nearly half a year, so he can make some changes and let fans try different tastes.

If it doesn't fit, you can change it 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 heavy, the singer may be abandoned by the company directly.

Subsequently, the recording of the single "YEAH!!" officially began.
