Chapter 3140 3142 [You are more greedy than me]

  Compared to fans' disapproval, music critics rated this song quite highly.

  I think Xiang Nan's song is very smooth, no matter the lyrics, rhythm, or even dance steps, it is perfect.

   It's just because the music style changes too fast, so fans can't keep up. But they believe that, with time, they will eventually realize the value of the song.

   Compared with the disapproval of British fans, this song is also very popular in France, Italy, Waves, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden and other countries.

  Especially in the U.S., the song debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard charts in the first week, and even won the No. 1 the following week. This became Xiang Nan's first No. 1 single.

In this way, the lost sales in the UK have all been made up in the US. Not only did they not lose money, but they also made money. Therefore, Rod Start and Xiang Nan did not feel sad because of the decline in popularity in the UK, but because they successfully opened the US market , happy to win the championship.

   "Let's make more dance music in the future." Rhode suggested to Xiang Nan.

   "I don't think you should miss it." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "You know which cloud has rain."

  Dance music is indeed popular, and there is no market for slow lyrical songs, otherwise American country music would not be so popular. Therefore, it is not advisable to go to extremes by favoring one and favoring another. Both hands must be grasped and both hands must be hard.

  Just like Brother Mars, there are high songs such as "uptownfunk" and "24Kmagic", as well as the rap "mirror" with Lee Wayne, and the lyrical slow songs "talktothemoon", "leavethedooropen" and so on.

  As a singer, just like an actor, you have to be brave enough to try different styles and always bring something new to your fans. Otherwise, if you repeat yourself every day, if you don’t bother yourself, your fans will get annoyed.

   "You are more greedy than me." Rhodes laughed.

  Ordinary singers have a style, and it is not bad to be popular, but Xiang Nan still wants to kill him.

   "Greed is the driving force behind human progress." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "That's right." Rhodes laughed.

  …

   Later, in order to make the song "YEAH!!" more popular in the United States, Xiang Nan immediately took his team to the United States to promote it.

  His current team has expanded to five people, including agents, agent assistants, life assistants, media assistants and makeup assistants.

   On the one hand, with his fame and income, he can already support these people without being too ostentatious;

  The big-name stars in the United States are surrounded by crowds. Brokers, private lawyers, nutritionists, makeup artists, stylists, fitness trainers, private doctors...the list goes on and on.

   There are even many people who don’t have serious jobs, and stay with the stars just to eat, drink and have fun. Such people are called "slaves", which means "helpers" in ancient China.

  Beside a star, the number of attendants can even reach as many as a hundred. In comparison, there are only five people around Xiang Nan, and they are all doing things, so they are already very low-key.

   Moreover, Xiang Nan also wanted to lighten Mary's workload so that she would have more time to rest.

  With his current popularity, there are more and more things to deal with. Such as publicity and promotion, performance invitations, commercial shooting, charity events, and even award ceremonies.

  Mary alone is too busy to do it, and she also needs the assistance of other assistants.

  …

  After arriving in the United States, the general publicity process is still similar to that in the UK.

  The only difference is that the land area of ​​the United States is much larger than that of the United Kingdom, even comparable to the size of the whole of Europe, but the population is only half of that of Europe.

   Therefore, if Xiang Nan and the others want to catch up with the schedule, many times, it is too late to drive overnight, and they even have to take a plane, which is naturally much harder.

   On this day, six people came to Chicago, participated in the TV station interview here, and participated in several local performances.

  Because the song "YEAH!!" has a strong rhythm, ambiguous lyrics, and elegant dancing, it is very popular in some entertainment venues. They are also willing to pay a high price to ask Xiang Nan to help them stir up the atmosphere.

  However, this kind of entertainment place is usually full of dragons and snakes. After the performance, when he received the money and left the place, Xiang Nan was keenly aware of something wrong, "Go faster, someone is following you."

   "No way?" Everyone was still confused, even Mary and her manager Roy were surprised.

  Xiang Nan trusted his intuition and quickened his pace.

  The few people had no choice but to follow quickly and got into the nanny car together.

  But just after starting the car, and before they had time to drive out of the parking lot, several people suddenly jumped out and blocked Xiang Nan's car, and they even had guns in their hands.

  When Mary, Roy and the others saw it, they were all stunned.

   This is the first time they have encountered such a thing. Being aimed at with a black muzzle made them think about their last words in an instant.

   "Dude, you are very rich, hand over the money~" One of them pointed a gun at Xiang Nandao.

  Xiang Nan looked at the gun in his hand, knowing that with his ability, it would be effortless to deal with these robbers.

  However, a popular singer subdues five armed robbers with his bare hands. Such bizarre news is too sensational to break out, and it is hard not to cause trouble.

  Xiang Nan pretends to be a star to hide his identity as a super agent, so naturally he can't give away his secrets for a little money now.

  At that moment, he happily took out the money, "50,000 dollars, it's all here, let us go."

   "You're smart~" the man said, then took the money, left with his companions proudly, and soon disappeared.

  Xiang Nan immediately started the car and left here.

  …

   "Oh, I was really scared to death. This is the first time someone pointed a gun at me." Jessica, the makeup assistant, couldn't help sobbing.

   "Me too, I almost peed just now." Assistant manager Vincent also said.

   "I didn't expect Chicago to be so chaotic, no wonder it is called 'Sin City.'" Media assistant Steven also said.

   "Dan, should we hire bodyguards to protect us, no, protect you?" Roy the manager asked.

   "Well, let's get in touch." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said.

  He has just started this promotion, and he has already encountered this kind of thing. Next, they will travel all over the United States, going to more than one hundred cities.

  If there is no bodyguard protection, this kind of thing happens once after every performance, that is to earn 100 million US dollars, and you will not be able to keep a penny.

  He didn't want to expose his martial arts skills, so he had to ask someone to protect him. It doesn't take much, the front and rear teams can deter those robbers.

  After all, those kidnappers are not fools, they only bully those who look easy to bully. If they meet a big guy with a gun, they can run faster than anyone else.
