In July, Xiang Nan’s third single was released, and Mary accompanied him on the journey again.

   "A new song is released every two months, and each promotion is at least one and a half months." She told Xiang Nan, "In this way, isn't it twelve months a year, and every month is busy?"

   "Now is the rising period of the career, and it must be busy." Xiang Nan nodded, "However, if the sales of this single are also good, the company will consider releasing the entire album.

   When the time comes, just focus on promoting the album. After the promotion is over, it is estimated that there will be a one-month holiday. At that time, you can take a good rest. "

  Hearing what he said, Mary nodded.

  She is not lazy, but she is not suitable for working from nine to five. She still prefers a free life.

  The work of a star assistant is even more tiring than that of a nine-to-five office worker.

  Almost 24 hours a day on standby, during the publicity period, there is almost no rest time, eating and sleeping have to be resolved on the road.

  At the beginning, she still felt fresh. But after two months, she didn't think so anymore.

"Don't worry, big-name singers won't release an album for two or three years. We're just a little tired now. After two years of fame and stability, we won't be so tired. At that time, we can just lie down at home and make money." Xiang Nan looked at her words and saw the fatigue in her eyes, and quickly said, "If you feel bored, why don't you take a break?"

   "No, I'm not tired, I'm tired for you." Mary waved her hand and smiled.

   "You are so kind." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

  …

  After the release of the third single "patience", it was well received as usual.

  Major music critics and radio DJs spoke highly of this song, thinking that Xiang Nan had made another breakthrough in singing, melody, and lyrics.

   And the fans didn't think too much about it, as long as it sounds good, they are very supportive. Therefore, in the first week of its release, "patience" took the third place in the UK Golden Melody Chart, and reached the top in the next week.

  In addition, in France, Germany, Italy, Poland and many other countries, it has also achieved very good sales. In the United States, however, the song unexpectedly received a cold reception.

  Although media reviews were good, the audience's response was not as popular as "youarebeautiful" and "crymeariver", and it only ranked 20th on the US Billboard singles chart.

  Although such results are passable for newcomers, after all, Xiang Nan's first two songs were too good, so it seems a little insufficient.

   Xiang Nan was also a little puzzled by this situation, and quickly invested more funds to increase the intensity of publicity.

   In addition, an investigation company was invited to find out what happened.

  …

   Just as Xiang Nan was promoting his third single, Conklin was secretly executed by Ward Albert.

Firstly, it was because he was ineffective and failed to catch the secret stealer in time, which caused him to be forced to shut down the stumbling block project; secondly, Conklin had some clues about him, so Albert could not let him continue to exist, so he simply killed him Yes, it's over.

  After Conklin died, Albert immediately came up with the Black Heather Project, which was more cruel, cold-blooded, darker, and more comprehensive than the Stumbling Block Project.

  Different from the stumbling block project, which is only responsible for assassination, and only for foreigners.

  The Black Heather Project targets a much more comprehensive target and performs a much wider range of tasks. Even the Americans are included in the list of monitoring, stealing, tracking and assassination.

  Subsequently, Albert's Black Heather Project was officially approved by the CIA and the U.S. Department of Defense, and officially launched.

  Xiang Nan still doesn't know that the Black Heather Project has started, but he knows that the CIA will not learn how to behave. Even if the Stumbling Block Project is shut down, they will definitely come up with a new plan.

  Because the CIA is like the Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty, the purpose of their existence is to make things happen.

   Even if there is no goal, they will create a goal, which is the value of their existence. Otherwise, how could Congress allocate tens of billions of dollars to them every year.

  So Xiang Nan still doesn't dare to be too arrogant, and will continue to fight the CIA.

  …

  Through Xiang Nan’s vigorous promotion, "patience" has achieved good sales in Europe, Australia and other places, and even sold hundreds of thousands of copies in Japan in Asia.

   But the sales in the United States are still not very good, and the sales did not exceed 1.5 million in the end. In comparison, "youarebeautiful" sold 2 million in North America, and "Crymeariver" sold 2.2 million in North America.

  Sales dropped so much, Xiang Nan was a little surprised.

   Then, he saw the report made by the investigation company, and finally realized it.

  It turns out that American audiences still prefer dance music with exciting rhythms compared to lyrical songs with slow rhythms. Because of the party culture in the United States, young people play together, drink, dance, and chat.

  A hard-hitting dance song that lifts their spirits, sparks the party mood, and moves their bodies. But lyrical songs with a slow rhythm are only suitable for one person to appreciate slowly, so their popularity and popularity will be affected.

  Xiang Nan suddenly realized after reading this report.

   Just like the Chinese music scene, there are many singers with good singing skills and songs with beautiful melodies, but in terms of popularity, who can compare with Phoenix Legend? When the square dance aunt's horn blared, even the most famous celebrities had to give way.

  For the fourth single, Xiang Nan chose the dance song "YEAH!".

This song is a dance song released by Usher in 2004. After it was released, it reached the top of the Billboard charts in the United States and stayed at the top for twelve weeks. It also won the Billboard year-end list champion.

   In addition, this song also helped Usher win the Best Rap Collaboration Award, the MTV Music Video Awards for "Best Male Singer Video" and "Best Dance Video".

   This is a rhythm and blues song with a brilliant beat and smooth melody. It can be said that the artistry and commerciality have reached a very high level.

   With this song, Usher successfully created a music trend called "CRUNK" and became king in one fell swoop.

  Xiang Nan also hopes that he can replicate his success.

  …

   Rhodes also expressed support for his choice.

  Xiang Nan's first three songs are all lyrical songs, it's time for something different.

   You know, the tastes of fans are very tricky.

  They both hate that singers remain unchanged, but they also hate that singers change too fast and lose their characteristics.

   Xiang Nan has been debuting for nearly half a year, so he can change it a bit and let fans try different tastes.

  If it is not suitable, it can be changed in time.

  The significance of a singer releasing a single instead of an album lies in this.

  If a single is released, even if the fans are not satisfied, the singer can change in time.

   But the production cost of an album is much higher than that of a single. If the compensation is too miserable, the singer may be given up by the company directly.

  Subsequently, the recording of the single "YEAH!!" officially started.
