A month later, Jiang Ye's album, which had been shelved for five years, was finally officially released.
On the day of the release, Xiao He received a letter from Duoduo.
She and her parents have fled to live in another small city. Fearing of being recognized, Xue Ruxin has been hiding and it will take at least a few years before she dares to reappear.
After arriving at the new place, Duoduo met a few good friends, all of whom were fans of Xia Zhibei and Xia Zhinan.
At the end of the letter, Duoduo wrote in crooked handwriting:
[Sister, when I grow up, can I come to you and become a singer? ]
Xiao He replied to her: [Of course.]
Then he put some twins' peripherals in the package, and also stuffed a copy of Jiang Ye's new album inside, and sent them together, asking Duoduo to pass them on to Xue Ruxin.
After five years, I hope she can now calm down and listen to Jiang Ye's songs.
The day after the package was sent out, the rankings of major music charts were released.
Xiao He waited in front of the computer and pressed the mouse to refresh at exactly twelve o'clock.
The page flashes and quickly refreshes to a new screen.
There are four lists on the homepage: best-selling list, popular song list, well-received list and new song list. Looking around, all you see are the three words "Jiang Zaizhou".
His appearance interrupted Song Feiguang's previous winning streak that lasted for several months.
In the top ten rankings, only Song Feiguang's figure can still be seen, and the others are far behind.
It vividly illustrates what it means for one's own family to fight against one's own family.
What does the return of the king mean?
What is the Jiang Zaizhou effect?
Before releasing the album, the company was a little worried that most of Jiang Zaizhou's fans were from five years ago. Now they are getting older, most of them have started families and careers, and they may not be able to reach out to them anymore.
As soon as the album was released, fans said:
When I was still in school, I was very hesitant to support my favorite singers and had to search on QQ.
Now that I’m working and making money, I can buy as much as I want!
This first wave of revenge consumption directly doubled Jiang Ye's album sales compared to expectations.
Blue Star Entertainment is in a panic.
The music scene has been quiet for five years, and sales are usually sold by the piece. Although Jiang Ye’s uniqueness has been taken into consideration this time, and Song Feiguang has been used for reference and comparison, I was still shocked when I saw the sales volume.
People in the sales department expressed that they were not used to it.
I just finished processing a batch of orders and refreshed the backend, and more popped up.
The first batch of albums were quickly sold out. Faced with the increasing number of orders, the company had no choice but to urgently start production of the second batch.
I was happy but also panicked, worried that there would be a wave of returns after production.
The official account of Blue Star Entertainment specifically issued a statement:
[The second batch of albums is already in production and will be shipped as soon as they are completed. Please be rational and consider carefully before placing an order. Do not make impulse purchases!]
As soon as the statement was issued, it immediately triggered a rebellious mentality.
[Leave me alone!]
[Is the album finished? Has it shipped? Is the next one in the works? Instead of posting on Weibo, I should be working overtime at the factory to get it shipped quickly!]
[That’s Jiang Zaizhou! Jiang Zaizhou! How can I be rational?]
Contemporary netizens are a bit rebellious.
When the sales department saw this reply, they were speechless.
And after taking a closer look at the orders, I found that everyone was indeed very rational and did not buy large quantities. However, because Jiang Zaizhou has a large number of fans, even if each person bought one, the cumulative number would reach an astonishing number.
As the number of albums increases, Jiang Ye's number of fans continues to double.
A week after its release, he appeared on the live talk show The Saturday Show.
This was his first time participating in a variety show in five years. Xiao He specially helped him choose a program with a relaxed environment and an experienced host so that he would not be too nervous.
The live broadcast was scheduled for prime time on Saturday night. Because of Jiang Ye's arrival, the ratings, which had already reached their peak, rose a little more.
Before it even started, the live broadcast room was already packed with people.
The host, Sister Chen, came specially.
"This live broadcast room was set up specifically for today's interview. Due to the tight schedule, everything might not be complete. Jiang Zaizhou, if you need anything, please feel free to ask. You're welcome."
Jiang Ye was putting on the microphone. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Can you prepare a sofa and a blanket for me?"
"Your sofa and blanket are ready. When the live broadcast starts, we can each sit on one."
Sister Chen said this with a smile, then pointed to the stage being prepared nearby.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ye said, "It's not for me, it's for my agent. The air conditioner is a little low today. This live broadcast will be three or four hours long, so she can rest nearby."
Hearing this, Sister Chen was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Jiang Zaizhou to be so considerate.
"Okay, I'll let them arrange it."
Jiang Ye thanked him and added, "Please prepare some coffee and snacks. I'm afraid she'll get bored. My show is actually quite dull."
Hearing this, Sister Chen frowned, feeling a little strange.
So many things, and you asked the agent for them?
Isn't this considerate?
Usually, it is the agents who serve the artists wholeheartedly and are considerate. This is the first time I see their positions swapped.
Who is Jiang Ye’s agent?
What a good life.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw Jiang Ye's eyes light up and he waved towards the door.
"Xiao He, I'm here!"
Everyone turned around and saw a tall young woman with a ponytail walking in.
Sister Chen recognized her at a glance.
There are many agents in the entertainment industry, and among them, Xiao He's name is the most famous, and almost everyone knows him.
She walked straight up to Jiang Ye.
"I just discussed the program flow with the director, and everything is fine. Are you ready?"
Jiang Ye nodded.
"And the microphone isn't on properly, so it can't be installed."
As he spoke, he showed the receiver in his hand. This part was supposed to be worn on the waist to receive microphone signals, but it was not convenient for one person to wear it.
When Sister Chen heard this, she was about to call for help, but she saw Xiao He had already taken the receiver and helped him tidy up the microphone wire, buried it in his shirt, and extended it to the back of his waist.
Then he stepped forward, put his arms around his waist, and snapped the receiver on.
Xiao He's movements were very skillful, and the whole process took only a few seconds.
Agents often help artists with things, not to mention wearing microphones, you can often see them even taking off clothes.
Originally, Sister Chen didn't think it was a big deal and was about to discuss the topic of the interview with Jiang Ye. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Ye standing stiffly in the same place, with his chin raised nervously so that Xiao He could put his hand around his waist.
If you look closely, you can see two faint blushes on her face.
Sister Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Isn't that right?
Will artists blush in front of their agents?
As soon as this question popped up in his mind, Xiao He had already helped Jiang Ye put on the microphone.
"Okay."
After saying that, he took two steps back to create some distance.
Jiang Ye smiled at her.
"Thanks."
After saying that, he turned to look at the host, as if he had just noticed her existence.
"Sister Chen, what's going on?"
Sister Chen snapped back to her senses and quickly asked, "I want to ask if Jiang Zaizhou has any taboos or topics he shouldn't discuss? Let's make some preparations and try to avoid them during the interview later."
Jiang Ye first turned to look at Xiao He, then shook his head.
"No."
Upon hearing this, Sister Chen was immediately delighted.
Many celebrities have taboo topics that they cannot mention, which sometimes seriously limit the excitement of the show. Jiang Ye has returned after five years of retirement, and now the outside world wants to ask him countless questions.
Earlier, the program team had collected tens of thousands of questions from netizens. Jiang Ye had no reservations, which meant that they could ask whatever they wanted later.
For example, one of the questions that netizens are most concerned about is:
"Does Jiang Zaizhou have someone he likes?"
There were two comfortable lazy sofas in the live broadcast room. Jiang Ye was sitting on one side. When he heard this question, he became visibly nervous.
This question has been asked since Jiang Ye’s first show after his debut, and his fans have already memorized it.
As soon as the question came up, everyone started discussing it.
[Jiang Zaizhou has been single since his debut. His heart is only focused on singing, nothing else matters.]
[Hilarious! Every celebrity under Xiao He is a widow, who doesn't know that? They're busy training and running every day, so dating? Impossible!]
[Lonely and widowed——Lonely and widowed——]
[Even if there is, he can't tell me, right? Besides, he just came back.]
…
The barrage was full of discussion.
The host, Sister Chen, looked at Jiang Ye in front of her, but had different thoughts in her mind.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the scene where Xiao He helped Jiang Ye put on the microphone. She subconsciously looked outside and saw Xiao He sitting on the sofa drinking hot tea with a plate full of fruits in front of him. He looked out of place with the staff around him.
If I'm not mistaken, the fruits in there were all cut by Jiang Ye before the show started.
With such care, she can no longer tell who is the agent.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiang Ye nodded slightly.
"Yes, I have someone I like."
These words were like a bombshell dropped into the water. Everyone present cried out in surprise, and even Xiao He looked up in surprise.
The anchor room exploded directly, with layers of crazy barrages, so crowded that even the screen could not be seen.
The host instantly became interested and hurriedly asked, "Is it love between a man and a woman? Not family or friendship?"
"No, I have a crush on her."
This answer made everyone hold their breath again and prick up their ears, not wanting to miss a single word.
"Does the other party know?"
Jiang Ye glanced hurriedly outside the camera, a little shyly, and then shook his head.
"I don't know."
This small action was captured by the audience and they became excited instantly.
[Who was Jiang Zaizhou looking at just now? Was it someone he likes? Could she be here too?!]
[Turn the camera over here right now! Let me see who it is!]
Jiang Ye's gaze lasted only a fraction of a second. Not only the audience, but even the staff on the scene didn't know who he was looking at.
But the host saw it.
Sister Chen swore that she had observed clearly just now that the person Jiang Ye was looking at was Xiao He!
His agent!
Upon discovering this, Sister Chen became suddenly excited, her heart pounding, and she wanted to tell everyone about this discovery, but she held back.
"I hope that one day you can marry the person you love."
Xiao He sat outside the field, eating the fruit Jiang Ye had cut for him, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Ye actually has someone he likes?
Who is it?
Who else could be the woman around him besides me?
Not only does he record albums every day, he also has to do physical training. How does he have time for a relationship?
Xiao He frowned, feeling a little depressed. He was about to observe Jiang Ye's situation carefully, but when he looked up, he saw the host, Sister Hong, looking at him with an unusually passionate gaze.
On that day, before the live broadcast ended, the entry about Jiang Ye's secret crush became a hot search.
Everyone was shocked.
One reason is that Jiang Ye has just returned and is now at the peak of his career. Other artists are hiding their love affairs, but Jiang Ye doesn't.
Seeing how happy he is just because he has a crush on someone, what will happen if they really get together in the future?
Then shouldn’t it be announced to the world?
Secondly, everyone is curious, who is this person who makes Jiang Ye's heart beat?
[Jiang Zaizhou is so good, what woman is worthy of him? I'm so jealous.]
Whenever Jiang Zaizhou mentions that woman, he becomes so happy that his face turns red. Did this woman save the Milky Way in her past life?
[Who is this person? I want to know her name within three minutes!]
[Could it be a female celebrity I worked with before?]
…
The whole internet was buzzing with discussion, with everyone speculating on who Jiang Ye's secret crush was.
From singers to actors, assistants, models, staff... In just a few days, almost everything that could be guessed was guessed.
Even five years ago, when Jiang Ye had not yet retired from the entertainment industry, he participated in an event and smiled at a clothing store owner. Netizens thought it was very likely.
Xiao He was also guessing.
It's just that she met Jiang Ye too late and didn't know much about what happened to him five years ago, so she could only learn about it through the accounts of netizens.
But after looking around, I found that netizens had even guessed the company's cleaning lady, and no one mentioned her name.
This is unscientific.
Xiao He was unwilling to give up, so he quietly registered a small account and asked:
[Why is no one talking about Xiao He?]
I just asked and immediately received a lot of replies.
[Emm, she is Jiang Zaizhou's agent, and we've worked together many times before, but for some reason, I don't think there's much hope.]
[Jiang Zaizhou and Xiao He? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]
[Sorry, I can't imagine that scene. Let's continue discussing Jiang Zaizhou and the cleaning lady. I heard that Jiang Zaizhou even helped the cleaning lady sweep the floor. This couple feels much better than Xiao He!]
Xiao He: ...
My mood was actually a bit complicated, and an inexplicable desire to win was aroused.
After thinking about it, Xiao He felt that such speculation was not in line with his usual style.
She has always been straightforward. Wouldn't it be better to just ask Jiang Ye who it is?
Thinking about it, she sent a message to Jiang Ye directly:
【Come to the company to discuss important matters, come quickly! 】
Jiang Ye has known Xiao He for such a long time. No matter what happened, she was always calm and composed. This was the first time she sounded so anxious.
He was at home and rushed over immediately.
As soon as he entered the office, Xiao He didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.
"Who do you like?"
Jiang Ye thought Xiao He was looking for him to discuss the album. After all, since signing the contract, Xiao He has always been conscientious in fulfilling his duties as an agent. Almost every time he looks for him, it is to discuss work, and he has an air of righteousness about him.
When he was asked this question as soon as he came in today, he was stunned and stood there in a daze.
Xiao He: "It was the question the host asked you on The Saturday Show, and now everyone is discussing it online."
Jiang Ye became even more panicked.
He looked at Xiao He in front of him, felt his face getting hot, and his heart beating rapidly.
"Now?"
Xiao He stood up and walked over, his tone very much like a villain trying to trick the kind-hearted protagonist.
"If you tell me in advance, what if reporters take some photos and ask me about them, and I don't know anything, I won't know what to do."
"If that day really comes, you won't be unaware of it..." Jiang Ye said in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
Xiao He took a few steps closer, an anxious look unconsciously showing on his face. Seeing that Jiang Ye's whole face was red, he frowned and grabbed his clothes.
"Aren't you already together?"
"No! Not yet!"
Jiang Ye quickly shook his head, looking at Xiao He who was so close to him, and the scene of their last kiss emerged in his mind again.
They've already kissed, why doesn't Xiao He know about it?
He gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to confess. When he looked up, he saw Xiao He staring at him. He suddenly panicked, tripped over his left foot, stumbled, and fell forward uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Xiao He acted quickly and directly picked up Jiang Ye and turned him to the side, pressing him down on the sofa.
Body to body, eyes to eyes.
At this moment, the office door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Regarding the question of "Who does Jiang Zaizhou like?", not only netizens are curious, but even the people within Blue Star Entertainment Company are discussing it privately.
The general manager sat in front of the computer, scratching his head.
Five years ago, Jiang Zaizhou retired from the entertainment industry, changed his name to Jiang Ye and stayed in the company working as an editor. His life was pitifully monotonous.
Because I would be recognized if I went out, I usually only go between the company and home.
But looking at the entire company, the number of people who interact with Jiang Ye can be counted on one hand.
Although the general manager doesn't often look for Jiang Ye, he has always been paying attention to his life, but he really can't think of who he could like.
After three days of hard thinking without any results, he decided to go to Xiao He to ask.
As Jiang Ye's agent, Xiao He should have some inside information. I will remind Xiao He when the time comes that an artist's love affair is a big deal and one must be prepared in advance and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
As he was thinking, he pushed open the door of Xiao He's office.
"Xiao He, do you know..."
He had just said half of his words when he was shocked by the appearance of the two people on the sofa. His voice stopped abruptly and his eyes almost popped out.
The gold medal agent of Blue Star Entertainment was currently pressing the pillar of the music industry onto the sofa with a ferocious expression, as if he was about to do something indecent in broad daylight.
The general manager had been to Xiao He's office several times, and every time he encountered some strange things, but those were far less shocking than the scene before him.
He felt as if a storm was roaring through his mind, destroying everything in its path, leaving only a blank.
After being stiff for two seconds, he hesitated and asked, "Did I come at the wrong time?"
The original intention was to interrupt the two of them.
After all, this is a company, and the sun is high outside. Anyone with some sense would not do such a thing.
But Xiao He had no idea.
"yes."
She said.
President:"……"
I can't fix it anymore.
Then, Xiao He seemed a little annoyed that he had interrupted her good time, and said, "Please close the door from the outside. If there's anything else, I'll come to the top floor office to find you after I'm done."
Finished...
The general manager was so embarrassed by these two that he felt embarrassed.
"Actually, there's nothing to do. You guys are busy, you guys are busy..."
After saying that, he quickly closed the office door and stood at the door for a while. His hazy thoughts slowly began to come together. Then he began to sigh and slowly left, holding on to the wall.
Although it had only been ten seconds, he felt like he had aged ten years in an instant.
The two most unlikely people in the company are actually together!
At this moment in the office, Jiang Ye's face was almost flushed.
It's natural to feel embarrassed when facing someone you like, but I didn't expect to be caught by the general manager.
After the other party left, he was about to get up, but he didn't expect Xiao He to stop him.
Xiao He easily pressed him onto the sofa.
She is a little unhappy now.
Very unhappy.
Ever since I knew that Jiang Ye had someone he liked, it felt like the rice I had worked so hard to store was eaten by rats; just as I had gathered all the supplies and arrived at the gate of the base, I was robbed on the way; just as my supernatural powers were about to be upgraded, I suddenly found that they disappeared.
She felt uncomfortable, staring at Jiang Ye, whose face was already blushing, and carefully capturing the subtle feeling in her heart.
This feeling was very novel, Xiao He had never experienced it before. She could only temporarily blame it on Jiang Ye hiding a little secret from her, which was why she felt unhappy.
So he urged even more: "You haven't told me yet, who is the person you like?"
Hearing this, Jiang Ye's struggling stopped instantly.
He felt his heart beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out at any second, and the vibration made his eardrums rumble.
When he wrote songs in the past, he had to write love songs, and the materials for his creations were all collected from the Internet.
"Deer Runs Around"
Blushing face and ears
"My heart swells and feels like it's being held tightly by a hand. The pain is so sweet and sour."
These feelings seemed unreal and incomprehensible to him at the time.
But at this moment, he felt it was so real.
His heart was now held by Xiao He, and his emotions fluctuated with his every move.
Feeling this sweet and sour taste, Jiang Ye's breathing slowly calmed down. Instead, he held Xiao He's hand and said, "What if I say that person is you?"
Xiao He was startled.
Looking closely, she met Jiang Ye's eyes that were almost overflowing with love, and saw her own reflection in them.
Is she the one Jiang Ye likes?
A strange feeling spread in Xiao He's heart, some surprise, some disbelief, lingering in a complex way that made it difficult to understand.
When Jiang Ye confessed on the show before, she never thought it would be her, because...
"But you're just a paper man." She looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but say.
