"Xiaoqiang, you said uncle would go to the show with you, okay?" After returning home in the evening, Xiang Nan finished washing and was about to go back to the room to rest, but was stopped by Li Wenda.
"What did you say?" Xiang Nan said with wide eyes.
"I said I would sing with you." Li Wenda said confidently, "I can sing pretty well, so just take me with you."
"Uncle, my performances are all arranged by the company, and it doesn't matter what I say." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hands, "Well, I'll help you inquire first to see if the company is hiring. "
"Okay, definitely." Li Wenda nodded.
Xiang Nan smiled.
This guy is really a toad biting a beef bum, and he wants to eat it.
…
In the following days, Xiang Nan returned to the company and met with manager Feng Jie.
"Mr. Feng, I'm going to record a second song." He said, "In this way, my popularity may reach a higher level. Otherwise, conquering the world with just one song will be a bit weak."
Feng Jie nodded.
Usually, a hit song can last two to three years for a singer.
Like Xuri Yanggang, who sang "In Spring", he reaped dividends for more than two years with just one song.
He performed commercially all over the country and made a lot of money.
Xiang Nan's "Someone Like Me" is so popular, it's no worse than "In Spring", and it won't be a problem if it lasts for another two years.
However, it would certainly be better if there were new and good songs.
Because a large part of the audience likes the new and hates the old.
Therefore, even Jay Chou, JJ Lin, Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng, who are regarded as kings, have to release new songs from time to time to maintain their popularity.
Otherwise, the heat will slowly decay.
Moreover, "Someone Like Me" has been released for more than two months, and its popularity has basically reached its peak.
No matter how much we publicize or promote, it will be difficult to achieve better results.
At this time, the best way to increase popularity is to release another good song.
"Then what song do you want to record?" Feng Jie asked curiously.
Xiang Nan then handed over his new song.
Feng Jie took a look and saw that the song was called "In My Singing".
"without any precautions
No worries at all
You just show up like this
in my world
…
You exist within the depths of my mind
In my dreams, in my heart, in my songs”
This song was released in 2012 and became a hit.
After reading it, Feng Jie thought it was pretty good.
"Okay, let's record it," he agreed.
…
Xiang Nan then went to find Huang Weiye.
"Okay, now the Land Rover is on the road, it's time to replace it with a cannon!" Huang Weiye was a little envious when he saw Xiang Nan driving a Land Rover.
"Stop talking nonsense, what's mine is yours." Xiang Nan smiled, "If you want to, you can do it at any time."
When he didn't buy a car before, he always borrowed Huang Weiye's Jeep. True brothers share blessings and hardships together.
"Then it's settled." Huang Weiye rubbed his hands excitedly, "If I want to drive a Land Rover, how many girls will I have to pick up!"
"Hey, that's not right. Don't you have Huang Xinran?" Xiang Nan asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Don't mention it, I sent her to travel to Siam." Huang Weiye waved his hand and said, "Seeing her red nose every day makes my aesthetics almost collapse."
Huang Xinran is indeed not a beautiful woman, her facial features are not too delicate, and she still has some acne on her face, which makes her look even more apologetic.
"When you first met her, you knew she looked like this." Xiang Nan glared at him, "If you didn't like her, why did you pursue her in the first place?"
"That's not because her voice is nice. But I can't just close my eyes and just listen to the voice!" Huang Weiye said helplessly.
"If you behave like this, you will be beaten to death sooner or later." Xiang Nan said bitterly, "I can tell you, Huang Xinran is definitely a good girl. If you break up with her, it will definitely be your biggest loss."
"Okay, stop talking about me, how are you?" Huang Weiye waved his hand, "After you become famous, many girls must like you."
"That's right, every time there is a performance, there are girls taking photos, signing autographs, and collecting a lot of business cards." Xiang Nan nodded.
"That's not bad." When Huang Weiye heard this, he clapped his hands enviously and said, "How about it, are you having sex every night and being the groom every night?"
"What are you thinking? You think I am you." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I'm not as passionate as you. If I want to find a girlfriend, I will definitely have a serious relationship and go straight to get married. What a night Qing, don’t even think about it.”
"Then you are really wasting it." Huang Weiye sighed sadly after hearing this.
…
"Okay, let's get down to business. I'm not here today to talk about picking up girls." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I recently wrote another song. Let's hurry up and record it."
"Okay, you are so productive!" Huang Weiye said in surprise.
"Maybe I should have been in this business." Xiang Nan smiled and then got busy with Huang Weiye.
After three days of recording, "In My Singing" was officially recorded.
Xiang Nan also paid Huang Weiye 30,000 yuan in labor fees.
"This is too high. How can it be worth so much?" Huang Weiye refused firmly.
"Last time I recorded "Someone Like Me", I didn't give you any money, so this time we'll settle it together." Xiang Nan explained, "Just take it and don't make me unhappy."
Huang Weiye is a freelance musician, which sounds like a cool profession, but in fact it doesn't make much money. He and Cao Xiaoqiang are inseparable brothers, and they often have to borrow money from each other.
"I only want 20,000, and I don't want the extra. If you insist, I will fall out." Huang Weiye also said stubbornly.
He knew Xiang Nan wanted to help him, but he couldn't ask for the money. He does need money, but he has to earn it himself and spend it with peace of mind. What kind of man is it if he survives on the charity of his friends?
Xiang Nan nodded and did not insist anymore, understanding Huang Weiye's pride.
To be honest, they both have the same personality, neither of them wants to be pitied or given charity.
"Weiye, I will write a song later, and we two brothers will sing together and become famous together." Xiang Nan then added.
"Okay." Huang Weiye nodded.
…
After Xiang Nan finished recording the song and returned home, his parents pulled him to sit down.
"Xiaoqiang, I asked my old comrade to introduce you to a girlfriend. Wu Xiaoliu, 22 years old, is a teacher by profession. His family is in business, and his family's financial situation is good.
You see, he looks pretty good too. How about it, let’s meet? "Cao Hanzhi said with a smile.
"..." Xiang Nan looked at Wu Xiaoliu's photo and couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, Wu Xiaoliu is actually a good candidate. Simple, cute, passionate and romantic, she is also devoted to Cao Xiaoqiang.
It's a pity that there is a generation gap in thinking between her and Cao Xiaoqiang. One tradition, one openness; one rationality, one romance; one cautiousness, one without taboos...
So although they liked each other, they finally broke up.
Xiang Nan's personality is somewhat similar to Cao Xiaoqiang's. He is also a more traditional and rational person. Faced with Wu Xiaoliu, who pursues romance and is willful and naive, it may be difficult for him to adapt.
"Dad, she is too different in age from me. I'm afraid there will be a generation gap." Xiang Nan said immediately.
"How could you know there would be a generation gap if you didn't have any contact with me?" Li Wenqin immediately babbled after hearing this.
"Yes, teachers are usually very stable, just like your mother. There will never be a generation gap." Cao Hanzhi also quickly advised, "Besides, this is the help of my 40-year-old comrade-in-arms. I introduced you, if you don’t even meet me, how can I explain it to others?"
"Xiaoqiang, let me tell you, don't worry, just go and meet a friend. Just in case it's suitable~" Li Wenqin also continued to persuade.
"OK, OK, I'll see you, I'll see you." Xiang Nan had a headache from their nagging and quickly raised his hands in surrender.
"That's pretty much it." Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi smiled at each other and nodded with satisfaction.
