Chapter 43 New Album Debut (Edited Version)
"I saw Xiaoshu. Our baby Xiaoshu has lost weight and seems to have grown a little taller..."
"The baby's hair has been cut short, so neat and handsome~"
"Xiao Shu was really trying to comfort us. We all had tears in our eyes. It was so touching."
"He's really gentle. I'll always keep the tissue Xiaoshu handed me..."
Shu Ming was also hugging his knees, silently reading the fans' feedback.
Guan Xianyi laughed at him: "Why, are you going to drop gold beans again?"
Shu Ming got into the car, closed the window, and tears suddenly fell, which scared Guan Xianyi.
Fortunately, his tears came and went quickly, and disappeared in a moment.
This is not the first time that Guan Xianyi has led such young artists, but there are not many who are so sincere and emotional.
Maybe everyone has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and is no longer surprised by the enthusiasm of fans. Even if they are touched, they will forget it after a while.
It’s so fresh, no wonder fans like to follow newcomers!
Sincerity for sincerity, she also hopes that Shu Ming's sincerity can last a little longer, and a little longer.
It takes more than an hour to drive from the airport to the city.
In the room, Shu Ming met his future team members for the first time——
Publicity agent: Tang Mi Shuang, assistant: Cheng Zi.
Guan Xianyi helped him identify the person: "Mi Shuang, I'm mainly responsible for your promotional materials... That sounds a bit vague, so let me put it this way, did you see the Weibo post I posted yesterday?"
She was referring to the set of photos of Shu Ming playing tennis.
“If Mi Shuang had been with you at that time, she would have been in charge of the filming.
However, she was responsible for the editing and copywriting of yesterday's set of pictures."
"The one next to her is Orange. Orange can drive, her license is B1C6D. In other words, she can drive most cars on the market. She can also put on makeup, do her hair, and speak English, French, and Japanese, haha."
Guan Xianyi clapped his hands and laughed, "She can even tell fortunes!"
"We're old partners, don't worry, we're all trustworthy. And, Xiao Shu, you don't have a dedicated executive agent, so I'll handle that part of the work. This is the style of our team."
Guan Xianyi thought for two seconds and said, "Sister He started out as a 'nanny-style agent'. Most agents in our company, if they don't have many artists, will stay with the crew throughout the entire process. This is our specialty."
Four people get together, have a simple meal, and get to know each other.
Because it was a private gathering and it was winter, when a few people got together, they decided to just have something hot.
Let’s eat hot pot!
Winter is the time to eat hot pot——
The boiling red pot, the drink with cool water droplets, and the heat that makes you feel happy.
The next day.
Shu Ming posted photos of the dinner on his social media.
In the photo, four glass cups collide with each other above the steaming hot pot.
And the caption: "A new starting point."
**
I heard that Shu Ming returned to the capital!
Jiang Yingtian has no work recently, and has come to ask me out several times, wanting to treat him to a meal.
It has been four months since I last saw Shu Ming after parting with "Selection 1".
He called, but no one answered the first few times. Finally, someone answered.
Shu Ming, who had just finished his vocal music lesson, put down his sippy cup and whispered, "But I still have class—"
Shu Mingzhen was not lying, he really wanted to go to class.
In addition, Zhuang Zheng was also taken to class after landing at the Capital Airport.
As for why he didn't bring his aunt over, Shu Ming had his own considerations.
My aunt doesn't speak Mandarin very well, she can only understand and speak some simple words.
What's more, there are people she is familiar with, wheat fields she cares about, and chickens and ducks in the village.
And the capital? This city is a huge steel and concrete prison where neighbors don't know each other and never see each other.
What's more, the security system of the apartment arranged for him by the company is extremely strict, making it very difficult to enter and exit.
There are many artists nearby, and everyone just passes by each other quickly after meeting each other. There are no parks nearby - do we want my aunt to be trapped in the house day after day without anyone to talk to?
If anything changed, Shu Ming only did one thing.
He paid for a construction team to renovate and rebuild the houses in the village.
With air conditioning, life will really be much more comfortable.
Let’s get back to Jiang Yingtian.
In addition to Jiang Yingtian, Shao Geng, Bai Mu and Chen Gangsheng would sometimes send him messages.
But it was obvious that Shu Ming's replies were becoming more and more hurried, and the time intervals between replies were getting longer and longer.
Xiao Shu is really busy, this is everyone's unanimous conclusion.
At the beginning, I had the leisure to complain with everyone during breaks, but later I could only reply word by word. Then, after that, I could only send voice messages with panting sounds, taking time out from the busy schedule.
But Shu Ming's voice sounded so happy and cheerful.
Jiang Yingtian often listened to the voice messages he sent over and over again, listening to the little pride in his voice, the occasional little frustration, and the optimism and confidence that ran through it all.
As you listen, the corners of your mouth will unconsciously curl up.
Xiao Shu replied late at night: "I finished recording another song today. After it is released, I will send you the physical album~"
There were hurried footsteps: "I'll reply to you later, I have to go to the dialogue class soon, I'm going to be late, help me!"
He also dragged out his voice and complained softly, "I'm so tired, but I can take half a day off tomorrow, so I want to sleep in... Sister Xianyi said she wants me to participate in a program in a few weeks to promote my new song..."
Jiang Yingtian felt like a greedy peeping Tom, picking up information about Shu Ming's recent situation from his fragmentary words.
So I was also infected and tasted a bit of happiness.
The silly kid who couldn't even use the hotel door lock when he first met Jiang Yingtian, gradually grew up to be the focus of everyone's attention and the one that everyone cared about.
However, although Shu Ming was busy, his classes were not in vain!
His transformation can be seen from the WeChat voice messages:
Shu Ming's Mandarin has not only become standard, but it is also very penetrating and can be heard clearly even in noisy environments.
This shows that his delivery skills have greatly improved!
Jiang Yingtian felt melancholy, but also happy for Shu Ming.
When he hung up the phone, he had never been so aware.
They were really drifting further and further apart.
**
For all Shu Ming fans, 26 years is a real new beginning.
Shu Ming not only signed a new agency, but also has been very active since the beginning of the year——
It's like a hamster entering a granary, I'm so happy that I almost fainted!
After all the hardship comes happiness! The clouds will eventually clear and the moon will appear!
"Is it online at 12 o'clock tonight?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Hold on tight, wait for the new song from baby Shu."
"Just wait patiently, our Xiao Shu's voice is always online, looking forward to her new works."
Fans don’t know whether Shu Ming is nervous or not, but they are very nervous anyway.
Be on high alert and try your best to achieve sales.
Don’t forget, most of them are show fans. In terms of fighting ability, who can they be afraid of?
Just when everyone was working in full swing.
But the official revealed a very clear attitude to the fan club:
Xiao Shu said that he hopes everyone will not spend too much money to boost sales.
As if that wasn't enough, the next day Shu Ming wrote a very long letter by hand.
"I know everyone is worried about me and wants to see that I'm doing well.
But my concern for you is the same as your concern for me."
Shu Ming returned home from the airport feeling cold and exhausted.
I was so sleepy that I could hardly open my eyes. My eyelashes covered my eyes, then lifted them up again, and I was still writing the letter word by word under the warm yellow light.
Shu Ming wrote: "I hope everyone truly enjoys this album. Leave the promotion to me. If the performance isn't good, it will definitely be my fault."
He added: "It's so rare to write to you all. I don't want to talk too much about the album, nor do I want to talk about so many cold numbers. How have you all been recently? Are you still happy?"
Later, Tang Mishuang captured part of the footage of him writing a letter with his head down and posted it on social media.
Fans really want to say: Shu Ming, just as you love us, we also truly love you.
So everyone frantically rehearsed the purchasing and data collection process over and over again, and planned the promotion process after the song was released, hoping to give Shu Ming a little surprise.
Maybe he can't achieve the same status as the top idols. After all, Shu Ming's absence has been too long, and there will inevitably be fans who leave.
Or maybe they are not numerous enough and their power is weak.
I really want everyone to see that our Shu Ming is not bad either.
Our Xiao Shu is also a child who is loved by others.

February 4th 0:00
Shu Ming’s new album "Courage and Cowardice" is online and released for the first time on the entire network.
On the night of its release, the album sales exceeded 8 million and climbed to fifth place on the hot list!
To be honest, this is not an unprecedented achievement, but it is still impressive.
More importantly - this is the result of everyone's hard work.
Guan Xianyi was at the airport, also staring at his grades on his computer without blinking.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this.
A smile finally broke out on her slightly tired face. "No matter what, we've proven our strength and commercial value to the investors. It's a good start, isn't it?"
"Come on, it's our turn to work now."
February 5th.
As Shu Ming said in his letter: "Leave the publicity to me."
So, Shu Ming, who just released the first new album in his life.
He secretly appeared on the popular music variety show "The Voice of China" as a flying guest to promote his new song.
The moment of standing on the stage and holding the microphone tightly.
It’s like dreaming back to that hot summer last year.
"That's great! Not only are there new songs to listen to, but there are also new stages to watch~"
"Who is the happiest person in the world? It's me!!"
"I haven't heard Xiaoshu perform live in a long time. She's still so steady, and her transitions are so beautiful!"
"The new look is so cool. It's the first time I see little Shu wearing a suit. He looks like an adult~"
Of course, Shu fans spread the news and tried their best to forward it.
Spare no effort to promote Shu Ming's new song to the world——
Just after everyone finished watching the performance with satisfaction, they fell asleep holding their phones.
The next day, I opened my eyes.
Wait, why are all the video platforms filled with cover bloggers covering Shu Ming’s new song?
Has it even become the top 1 on the challenge list?
Wait, why are all the songs by our Xiao Shu at the top of the charts on several music platforms?
The title song is even climbing up the new song rising chart one by one.
Refresh once and you will see your ranking move up one step!
This kind of excitement and thrill is more exciting than airborne!
The fans are all counting——
"Fifth, fifth, can I dream of a new song topping the charts today?"
"Top three!"
Amidst everyone's anxiety, before midnight the next day—
"Report!!! We've reached the summit! We've reached the summit!"
"Report!!! Xiaoshu gained 100,000 followers in one day!"
The good news came one after another, almost overwhelming everyone!
I really want to pinch my thigh to see if I am living in a dream?
Wait, that's not right.
Some people gradually came out of their excitement and began to figure out that something was wrong.
Why are people praising Shu fans online for their strong fighting power?
Their fans do have a certain fighting power, they do collect data, and they do increase sales.
But if you ask yourself, they really can't do it, let the whole network listen to Shu Ming's new song at the same time.
They don't have such strong energy yet, and there aren't that many of them.
No—then where did this result come from?!
The fan group was silent for a moment, everyone looked at each other and blinked.
It seems, approximately, perhaps, is it...
Were they led away by Xiao Shu again?
