The next day, all the front-page headlines were about Ye Cang.
As a newcomer, Ye Cang won the Golden Melody Awards and once again created history. Not only that, his achievements also gave a strong impact to the now lifeless Chinese music scene.
Not only gossip media, but even mainstream media published comments and praised Ye Cang openly and secretly.
It seemed that overnight, the name Ye Cang suddenly became a household name.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been in a daze and were too happy to know where to go. Ming Wei was still worried that Ye Cang would suddenly become popular and would not be able to control his emotions. Now that he is in the spotlight, if he says or does something wrong, it would probably be magnified hundreds of times and the rival company would seize the opportunity to blacken him.
But Shen Huai was very calm: "Don't worry, Sister Ming, Ye Cang knows his limits."
Ming Wei looked at Shen Huai with relief: "When you first joined the company, I knew that you had a unique vision and would be successful sooner or later. People in the company, don't take those rumors to heart."
Shen Huai smiled and said nothing.
When Xu Anqi and Bai Weijia left one after another, many people in the company said that he was cursed by newcomers and would leave him as soon as his artists became popular. There were even many people who took the opportunity to snatch resources from him.
Now that Ye Cang has become popular, the story of Shen Huai's sharp eye for talent has spread. Many companies not only want to poach Ye Cang, but also want to poach him.
The senior management of Morning Star is also anxious, and they are trying to find a way to keep him. Fortunately, Ming Wei has always been fair and has a good relationship with Shen Huai, so they thought of letting her be a lobbyist.
Ming Wei said, "You have performed very well in the company in the past few years. The senior management and I have seen it. Now the position of deputy director of the artist management department is still vacant. If you are willing, you can take office tomorrow." As
she spoke, she took out the contract and handed it to Shen Huai.
Before this, Shen Huai was just an ordinary agent, but now he can be said to have risen to the top in one step. The senior management never thought that he would refuse.
However, Shen Huai didn't even look at it, and smiled and said: "Thank you, Sister Ming, but no need, with my qualifications, I am just right for this position."
Ming Wei: "But..."
Shen Huai took out Ye Cang's next overseas promotion plan: "Sister Ming, this is the reason why I came to you today. We have tentatively decided on the following countries..."
Ming Wei sighed, and stopped persuading him, but concentrated on discussing this promotion plan with him.
After Shen Huai left, Ming Wei looked at the contract in her hand and pressed her forehead helplessly.
With Shen Huai's ability, this should have been obtained long ago, but he didn't get it, but he didn't feel disappointed or resentful. Now, this contract has been delivered to him, and he is not surprised at all.
This man's indifference to insults has reached the level of Buddhahood, or his identity is not simple, his vision is far more than that, and he does not even look down on the position of deputy director.
And based on Mingwei's understanding of Shen Huai and her intuition, he is most likely the latter.
-
Shen Huai walked out of Mingwei's office and headed for the elevator.
He was not worried that his refusal would anger the top management, and he also knew that Mingwei was a smart person, she was good at judging the situation, and would definitely take care of him.
While Shen Huai was thinking, several employees next to him greeted him enthusiastically.
"Hello, Brother Shen!"
"Brother Shen, do you want to take the elevator? Which floor do you want to go to? I'll push it for you."
"Brother Shen, I bought some coffee here..."
Half a year ago, Shen Huai was just the most "unlucky" agent in Morning Star Entertainment, known as the "newcomer curse", but in less than half a year, because of Ye Cang's sudden popularity, Shen Huai's ability to "turn stone into gold" immediately spread in the circle.
Shen Huai finally refused and went to the underground garage, but he didn't expect to run into Bai Weijia, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Previously, Cassie and Bai Weijia were suspected of unfair competition and were directly sued by Shen Huai. Bai Weijia's reputation was ruined and he was depressed for two months. His fans also quit. Sometimes when he walked on the street, he would be recognized and scolded. If he hadn't received the company's termination statement, he would not come out.
Compared to the high-spirited look two months ago, Bai Weijia looked very decadent at this moment.
He looked at Shen Huai, stammered a few words, and seemed to want to say something.
However, Shen Huai just nodded faintly, walked around him and went to his car.
Bai Weijia clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of regret.
When he was first accused, he still resented Shen Huai, but he watched Ye Cang steal the limelight in the past two months, and this resentment slowly turned into jealousy, and finally turned into loss.
When all the glitz faded away, he was finally able to see some things clearly.
He was too eager for quick success and forgot his original intention. If he had listened to Shen Huai, practiced seriously, and treated every stage as well as Ye Cang did, would he be the one standing on the podium to receive the awards?
But it's too late to regret now.
-
Bai Weijia's appearance did not touch Shen Huai's heartstrings.
He got in the car and his cell phone rang.
He answered it, and Ye Cang's gloating voice rang over there: "A Huai, I tell you, Fang Jiqing is really going to run naked!"
Shen Huai: "..."
After the Golden Melody Awards, Ye Cang's popularity remained high, and it also affected other people related to him. The most pitiful one among them was Fang Jiqing, because the bet was brought up again.
Originally, the sales of "Rebirth" had already declined, but with the end of the Golden Melody Awards, the sales were boosted again. The distance to the physical double platinum has been getting smaller and smaller, and it is only a matter of time before it is finally achieved.
Fang Jiqing probably knew that the result would not change if he delayed any further, so he simply gritted his teeth and fulfilled the bet.
In order to worry about disturbing the public, Fang Jiqing chose a moonless night and a remote park. Fang Jiqing ran a lap quickly in his underwear.
Then he wrapped himself in a military coat and disappeared in the car with a red face.
Ye Cang watched the video and laughed so hard that he almost fell down. He immediately called Shen Huai to share: "Old Fang is not in good shape. This naked streaking is not interesting at all."
Shen Huai: "..."
He thought that if Fang Jiqing knew about it, he would probably want to beat Ye Cang to death.
Shen Huai: "Don't be so gloating. What if you lose? Are you going to run naked?"
Ye Cang: "I won't lose."
Shen Huai knows that Ye Cang is always confident, but he should change his bad mouth.
"Who knows? If you make a bet with others casually, you will fall into trouble sooner or later."
Ye Cang listened and laughed: "Okay, I won't bet with others in the future, and I won't run naked even if I make a bet... I will only be naked for you to see."
Shen Huai: "..."
Now, he wants to beat Ye Cang to death.
Because there are many countries to be visited during the overseas promotion this time, and there are many things to do, Shen Huai will follow Ye Cang throughout the whole process, so Chu Meibo has to be put aside for the time being.
Fortunately, Chu Meibo has no work recently, she just needs to study hard, and then let Tong Yun remind her to take the art exam.
But even so, Shen Huai still gave serious instructions to Chu Meibo and Tong Yun, and also urged Mr. Chu to make progress. After he sold the company, he decided to go abroad, and most of the procedures had been completed. He would probably leave after the New Year.
Shen Huai breathed a sigh of relief. The biggest trouble on Chu Meibo's side was solved, so he didn't have to worry about him being abroad.
-
With the communication between Morningstar Entertainment and several overseas agencies, the overseas promotion schedule was quickly set.
The first stop was the United States.
Previously, with Nick Garcia's recommendation, "Rebirth" became popular in the United States. After Shen Huai found out, he immediately asked the company's overseas department to work overtime and finally caught up with the distribution.
In fact, Morning Star did not have high hopes at the beginning. After all, it was not that there had not been singers from China who went abroad to promote their music, but most of the buyers were overseas Chinese. As for other foreigners, because they could not speak the language, even if they were popular in China, they would only perform better in Asia at most, and they would almost disappear in Europe and America.
But unexpectedly, Ye Cang's album sold very well in the United States, and even quickly topped the U.S. music sales chart. This is not only difficult for Chinese singers, but also for Asian singers.
Such results were only achieved by Lu Yang 30 years ago.
However, Ye Cang was already famous at that time, and his reputation was not low both at home and abroad, while Ye Cang was just a newcomer. To have such results today, it can only be said that the quality of his music is extremely high.
Therefore, the overseas agency was also very polite to them.
The promotional activities were also very good, and many fans came from all over. Unexpectedly, there were not only Chinese, but also many foreigners.
After the promotion was over, Ye Cang and others were invited by Nick to attend a dinner at his house.
After hearing "Rebirth", Nick was very curious about Ye Cang, and he also expressed his love for Ye Cang on Twitter and looked forward to meeting him.
So this time when Ye Cang's promotion came to the United States, Nick immediately sent an invitation.
The dinner was not particularly formal, but Ye Cang and Shen Huai still dressed more formally and brought gifts according to the local customs.
After entering Nick's house, Nick, who was very tall and tattooed, immediately came up and hugged the two of them warmly. Ye Cang and Shen Huai also kissed Nick's wife.
Ye Cang's English has almost deteriorated because of not using it for many years. Fortunately, Shen Huai's English is good and he is responsible for the translation.
Nick took them to visit his house with a smile, and introduced his collection of records to Ye Cang, from which they talked about music.
Nick got excited and took out his guitar. Both of them are leaders in this field, with similar levels. They communicated directly with music. Even though they didn't speak the same language, they were still chatting happily.
Shen Huai had nothing to do.
Shen Huai didn't care and sat on the sofa reading a magazine.
Nick's wife Amanda happened to come up with food. Seeing this, she felt helpless and shouted, "Nick!"
However, Nick and Ye Cang were chatting happily and ignored her.
Amanda shrugged and said to Shen Huai: "I'm sorry, Nick is like this. If he meets a friend he can chat with, he won't care about other people at all."
Shen Huai smiled: "It doesn't matter."
Amanda: "But he hasn't been like this for a long time. Except for a few old friends in his band, he rarely chats with others so speculatively. Ye is really a boy with great musical talent. If he were American, he would have become an idol of young people all over the United States."
Shen Huai looked at Ye Cang who was concentrating on strumming the strings, and a smile appeared on his lips unconsciously: "Yes, he is indeed very good."
Amanda looked at him and showed a mysterious smile: "I know that the Chinese are a very reserved race, but dear, this is American. "In this country, you can express your love as much as you want, it doesn't matter."
Shen Huai was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Amanda seemed to have misunderstood something, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No, we are not that kind of relationship..."
Amanda had an "I understand, I understand" expression on her face: "I know, Asian countries don't seem to be very friendly to homosexuals, don't worry, we are friends, I won't tell anyone."
Shen Huai: "..."
Amanda clapped her hands at Ye Cang and Nick again: "Okay, dear, we should invite guests to dinner."
Nick: "Hey! Amanda, wait a minute. - Ye, you are wrong, this shouldn't be the case here..."
Ye Cang: "NO! !"
The two of them didn't speak the same language, but it didn't affect their quarrel at all.
Amanda covered her face: "Ah! They have a really good relationship, right?"
Shen Huai watched the two of them quarreling with red faces and thick necks, and it seemed that they were about to fight.
Shen Huai: "..."
