Su Ennan's "Find a Word to Replace" has sold 500,000 copies in just over forty days since its release.

The four songs purchased from Liang Liang all topped the charts in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

These four songs from Green Island dominated the top of the singles charts almost from the second week after their release.

"Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses" even surpassed "Find a Word to Replace" and held the top spot for three consecutive weeks.

The title track "Find a Word to Replace" was ranked number one in its second week on the charts, but was later overtaken by "Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Roses".

Although the champion is gone, "Find a Word to Replace" remains firmly in second place.

"Thousand Paper Cranes" and "I Want You to Hear My Heart" also ranked fifth and eighth on the Green Island Pop Song Chart, respectively.

As for album sales, it firmly holds the top spot, surpassing albums from a host of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

On the Hong Kong music charts, this album continues to perform strongly in the Mandarin music charts, with "Find a Word to Replace" having held the number one spot for four consecutive weeks.

This album propelled Su Ennan to fame in Hong Kong and Taiwan, where his popularity surpassed that of mainland China.

Su Ennan arrived at the room where the Blue Shark band was staying around six o'clock.

"Bro! A few big names in Hong Kong want to buy the Cantonese versions of your songs. What do you think we should do?"

When Liang Liang sold songs, he only sold the Mandarin version, regardless of who bought the song; the other versions remained with him.

Xianggang is no longer the place it was in the 1980s when you could just grab any good song and sing it. Both record companies and singers have started to be aware of copyright, so Liang Liang naturally wants to hold onto these copyrights, with the goal of making a profit.

However, the copyright he sold to Su Ennan included half of the Cantonese version's copyright. He has the right to handle these songs in Hong Kong, and can make the decision himself if the price is right.

"Brother Nan! You can decide for yourself what you think is acceptable."

"How can that be? You're the original creator, so of course you have to agree."

Su Ennan wasn't stupid at all. He saw that the song Liang Liang sold to Shi Zhang didn't have a Cantonese adaptation. If Shi Zhang wanted to sing the Cantonese version of "I Can't Forget You," he would have to buy the copyright again.

So when Liang Liang sold him the copyrights to those four songs, the fact that he offered to give him half of the Cantonese copyrights was a huge favor.

Given this personal favor, he certainly couldn't make the decision to sell the Cantonese versions of these songs arbitrarily; this shows mutual respect.

"I'll take you to a party later, and we might talk about this issue there, so be prepared."

"There's one more thing. Our Blue Shark band wants to release an album. Do you know if you can find us a publisher in Hong Kong?"

Su Ennan thought for a moment: "To release an album in Xianggang, you need to have a record company. Otherwise, you can only release it by private means. Without a company to promote it, it won't be able to affect album sales."

Su Ennan is right. How can you sell your album without promotion?

If you can't pay it back, you'll end up losing money.

However, Liang Liang, the company that signed the contract, doesn't have that idea yet; it's a bit too early.

"Let's talk about this later, there's no rush."

Suennan led them to a place that resembled a music salon.

This music salon wasn't large; there were about twenty or thirty people present.

These people are all from the Hong Kong music scene, and Liang Liang knows only a few of them.

For example, Liang Qingyao and Shi Zhang, who had accompanied Su Ennan to Lianwan.

The most famous person here is none other than Liu Dehua, who is now signed with Yidong Entertainment.

The problem is that Liang Liang knows other people, but they don't know him.

Although Su Ennan introduced Blue Shark to everyone here, apart from Shi Zhang being very enthusiastic towards them, the others only maintained polite contact with them, at most saying that Liang Liang's four songs were well done.

At this time, people from Hong Kong still had a huge psychological advantage over mainlanders. Even if your product was very good, it was already quite difficult to get a "okay" rating from them. Getting them to say "good" was even harder, and getting them to say "very good" or "best" was practically impossible.

Even if Su Ennan's hit song "Find a Word to Replace" could elevate her to the ranks of first-rate singers, she would still be considered second-rate or even below-average in the eyes of Hong Kong people.

For example, when Su Ennan introduced the Blue Shark band to a balding man wearing a large diamond ring and carrying a mobile phone, he received this kind of evaluation.

“Xiao Su! It’s wise of you to come to Xianggang to develop your career. The mainland simply doesn’t have the environment and conditions that Xianggang has. The mainland is still singing those brainwashing political songs. People who listen to these songs all the time will eventually become idiots. It’s not as free as Xianggang.”

Liang Liang felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart as soon as she heard that.

Hong Kong freedom? He just chuckled.

This bald man can certainly fool Su Ennan and the others with these words, but wouldn't it be a joke to fool Liang Liang, who was reborn from more than twenty years in the future?

Does Western culture and systems mean people don't deceive others?

This was only two or three years after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The West had not yet incorporated the word "democracy" into its own vocabulary, and could only use "freedom" to deceive people.

Where is the freedom of you Hong Kong people?

"Manager Yang! You're right!" Su Ennan was very respectful to the bald man.

“Come to our King Entertainment if you have the chance. Yidong is a small company with no future. If you come to King Entertainment, even if we can’t make you a top-tier company, making you a second-tier company is definitely not a problem.”

Liang Liang sneered inwardly.

This is the character of people from Hong Kong. In the eyes of this bald man, a singer whose album has sold ten platinum records is not even considered second-rate!

It's hard to say whether Su Ennan's album will sell over a million copies by the time it's taken off the shelves, but reaching seven or eight hundred thousand is definitely not a problem.

This only represents the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets. If we include the mainland market, sales exceeding one million units is not a problem at all. If we also include piracy, sales of tens of millions are not a problem either.

This isn't even second-rate?

The King of England? His surname is Yang?

"Mr. Yang! I'm currently under contract with Yidong, so it's probably not possible for me to work with them anytime soon. I'll definitely cooperate with Yingwang if the opportunity arises in the future. However, I have a friend's band from mainland China that doesn't have a record company yet. I wonder if Mr. Yang would be interested? It's them, the Blue Shark Band!"

King Ying has a lot of influence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. It would be a good thing if Blue Shark could sign with King Ying. So Su Ennan is going to introduce the Blue Shark band to King Ying.

The bald man surnamed Yang merely glanced at Liang Liang and the others, then turned away with a sneer to greet them.

Just as Su Ennan was about to say something, Liang Liang pulled him back.

The King of England was probably the Eagle King in his previous life. He had no interest in this company, whose very name reeked of being a troublemaker.

This company has a very bad reputation and its exploitation of artists is extremely ruthless.

He wants to have the greatest autonomy and freedom even if he signs with a company in the future. If he doesn't have that right, he'd rather not sign or become his own boss in the future.
