Chapter 111 Courage

Qi Wei's second solo album press conference started and ended in excitement.

The few interns at Feitu Records who had been practicing for almost two and a half years also chatted non-stop when they came back.

As if he had participated in some important event, his face was full of pride and he was chatting enthusiastically.

The conversation was all about Qi Wei, with a feeling of unfinished business.

"I really didn't expect the quality of the songs in his new junior high school to be so high. I really, really like it so much that I couldn't help but buy one of his records."

"Do you like his songs or do you think he's handsome?"

"Oh, I didn't know that he is even more handsome in person than in the photo. He is totally my type. If I had known this, I would have become a fan of him a long time ago."

"It's not too late now."

"You said we would have a romantic encounter and leave some unforgettable memories. When he signed his autograph just now, I secretly gave him my photo with my phone number and address on it...

"

"Who gave you the courage?"

"Of course it's him. Didn't you see that he has a song called "Courage" in his new album?"

"Hehe, actually I also stuffed a note and left my phone number."

"I knew you would be like this too. How about we make an agreement. If he calls us, he will notify the other one. I don't mind coming together. What about you?"

"I don't care, then it's settled..."

"It's a deal..."

“…..”

They were not the only ones among the trainee girls to pull tricks like this.

For them, Qi Wei should not be too perfect a target.

He is handsome, talented, and more importantly, rich.

At the press conference of Qi Wei's new project, they learned a very important piece of information.

That is Qi Wei is Zhang Guorong's neighbor.

Where Zhang Guorong lives in Hong Kong, the paparazzi in Hong Kong know very well, they are there every day.

It was mentioned in the newspapers and they knew it.

Although Kadoorie Hill is not the top place to live in Hong Kong, the luxury houses here cost at least several million, and the people who live here are at least rich or noble.

This shows that Qi Wei is rich.

Qi Wei's net worth has indeed been mentioned in the news. His previous two albums were huge hits, and PolyGram gave him a signing bonus in the form of stock purchases, which amounted to at least tens of millions.

This is what they know.

In Hong Kong, a city where money is paramount, you can show off your money.

This is really attractive to girls from middle-class and below backgrounds.

Why do they work so hard as trainees? The ultimate goal is not to make money.

Of course, not all girls in this group like to go to camp.

If she doesn't use these tricks, opportunities will find her.

Just because she is beautiful.

At the press conference, when I personally felt the charm of Qi Wei on the stage, the introverted Xintong unknowingly became his fan.

Although she has always been very thrifty, she did not hesitate to spend her savings this time to buy Qi Wei's new album package.

Qi Wei's new album press conference was followed by a book signing.

Because there were too many people, she waited in line for a long time with Qi Wei's new album package.

Finally the wait came to her.

When she faced her idol face to face, the shy girl was so nervous that her mind went blank. She didn't know what he said to her or how she went through the process of getting the autograph.

After she recovered, she regretted it to death.

Just when she was upset, a beautiful woman who called herself Assistant Qi Wei came to her.

Wearing elegant and decent professional attire, although she is very young, she possesses the shrewdness and ability of a successful person.

Soon the woman told herself the purpose of looking for her.

"My boss has a very good impression of you. He thinks highly of you and wants to sign you to train for your debut."

"Is your boss really Qi Wei?" She was a little unbelievable at the time.

Now I have the business cards of Qi Wei and his beautiful assistant in my hand, and I put aside my companions and quietly called them to confirm.

The authenticity is beyond doubt.

"He really wants to sign me!"

She is still in a state of excitement from the time it was confirmed until now.

Her background was not very good.

Her father passed away not long after she was born and before she was old enough to remember.

Her mother was only eighteen or nineteen years old at the time, and she was still young and did not know how to take care of a child, so she was given to different families to take care of her.

Constantly changing families and schools, her entire childhood was spent in displacement.

She was abused by a foster family and harshly treated by her uncle. Growing up in an environment lacking care also led to her being introverted and withdrawn.

She longs to grow up and escape from this life to be independent on her own.

When she was in middle school, because she had a beautiful angelic face, she was discovered by a talent scout at a party and became a model, and she began to get involved in the entertainment industry.

Her life changed, but not entirely in the direction she wanted.

She has not grown any taller after puberty, and her figure was not shaped during her childhood. Although she has a beautiful face, her figure is not perfect, so she is not suitable for being a model.

She tried to be a model but didn't achieve very good results, and she didn't want to be that kind of young model.

The talent scout who discovered her also lost confidence in her and sold her management contract to Feitu Records, and she became its trainee.

She practices singing and dancing, and like other girls dreams of becoming famous.

But the dream is too far away for these trainee girls.

Feitu Records is just an ordinary record company in Hong Kong.

Performance has been declining over the years and has always been in the red.

The company does not have many resources.

The only resources are concentrated on a second-generation celebrity named Nicholas Tse.

Nicholas Tse has been praised, and resources have become more concentrated. There are no resources available to them.

They are in the awkward position of being left alone.

But they signed a contract and couldn't walk away easily.

I can only imagine that one day I will suddenly be respected and become famous in one fell swoop.

And Qi Wei has the ability to make them famous, which is also an important reason why they take the initiative towards Qi Wei.

"Don't force yourself to cater to others, show your courage, and you will have a blue sky. You are beautiful to begin with."

When she looked at the message Qi Wei wrote to her on the record, she seemed to remember the smile Qi Wei showed when he signed his autograph for her.

It was like a spring breeze and as warm as the sun, making her heart warm.

"It seems like no one has cared about me so much for a long time..."

She placed Qi Wei's new album on her chest as if she could feel his warmth.

"He's so charming..."

She was at the age where hormones were causing trouble, and she seemed to have thought of something. In her fantasy, a blush appeared on her face, and her legs began to twist.

She breathed a long sigh of relief.

This also gave her courage and determination.

Like a life-saving straw in her life, she must seize this opportunity.

On the same day, Qi Wei Xin Zhuan was also officially released in the mainland.

In a certain villa in Beijing, "Conquer" producers Ding Xiaowen, Nayin and her sister and manager Na Xin gathered together.

The lights in the villa were brightly lit, and everything was clearly illuminated.

But the atmosphere was a little lifeless.

Just like a criminal waiting to be sentenced to death, everyone feels more or less uneasy in their hearts.

They are all pretending to be calm.

There were heavier footsteps in the house.

It was like a hammer hitting their chests, again and again.

The heartbeat is also getting faster and faster.

Vice President Sun from EMI Records finished the call and walked over with a serious look on his face.

"How is the situation over there in Hong Kong City?" Agent Naxinan couldn't bear it and asked first.

Although the premonition is not good, we must ask, maybe a miracle will happen.

Vice President Sun shook his head, sighed, and replied: "His new album launch conference was very successful. The response was stronger than we expected."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone present became embarrassed.

"His records can be sold in Hong Kong, but maybe he won't be able to adapt to the local environment when he returns to the mainland, and it will suffer a setback?" someone said.

But now that the country is in a situation where foreign monks are fond of chanting sutras, you, a mainland singer, can only release records in the mainland and it will be a hit in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but not overseas. How can it be true that if it is a hit in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it will not be a hit in the mainland.

So everyone clearly understood that these were just words of comfort.

Nayoung's new album "Conquer" was released on April 15th.

Qi Wei's new album "Twenty Years Old" was released today on the 18th. The two albums were released very close to each other.

The release of the album is so close, so it feels like a competition.

Qi Wei's new album was originally planned to be released at the end of April or early May.

However, because Qi Wei took over the filming of "Never Close Eyes", the schedule was tight and he wanted to join the cast early, so the plan was advanced.

Although the plan was advanced, the announcement had been made long ago, and Qi Wei was not deliberately targeting him.

Nayoung's new album "Conquer" has a chance to avoid its sharp edges.

But as a senior in the mainland music scene and a mainland pop music diva-level singer, Naying was not convinced.

In addition, the EMI record company behind her had launched a fierce pursuit of the princess before.

It was obvious that the price offered was higher, and it seemed that he was sure to win, but in the end he was cut off by PolyGram.

The reason turned out to be because Qi Wei cooperated with PolyGram. The princess wanted to cooperate with Qi Wei, so she signed a contract with PolyGram.

This EMI record was so angry that even Qi Wei felt a little unhappy.

Of course, if Qi Wei is willing to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", they are also willing to "abandon the past grudges", and they also want to cooperate with Qi Wei.

But it's obviously unlikely.

But it would be impossible to change the release date of "Conquer".

The album "Conquer" was specially created for Na Young by EMI at great expense and by inviting many well-known music producers.

The songs in this album are of extremely high quality.

The title song of the album's title track "Conquer" is Na Young's most widely circulated masterpiece.

There are also many excellent songs such as "No matter how painful it is" written based on Naying and Gaofeng's relationship, which is full of gimmicks, as well as "Wake Up from the Dream", "You Are Mine", "What Attitude", "Favorite This Day", etc.

Although the Spring Festival Gala hit "Meet 98" is missing compared to later generations, EMI found well-known musicians to compose another high-quality song for it.

Qi Wei's last album was a hit, which led to the involution of music videos, causing EMI to invest more resources in Na Young's new album.

In fact, the quality of Na Young's new album is even better than that of later albums.

EMI and Nayoung have high hopes for the album "Conquer" and are very ambitious.

This album is expected to enhance and consolidate Naying's status in the Chinese music scene.

Naying was dissatisfied, and EMI was unhappy with Qi Wei, plus they were obsessed with "Conquer".

Naturally, he is not afraid to compete with Qi Wei Xinzhuan,

With two albums being released so close to each other, which one becomes a hit is bound to affect the other's album sales.

They even wanted to teach Qi Wei a lesson.

I don’t know who gave them the courage.

Although they have the advantage of being released first.

On April 6th, Qi Wei's new junior high school song "If This Is Love" premiered.

This love song is paired with a carefully crafted story MV, and like "Fairy Tale", it fully demonstrates the effect of one plus one being far greater than two.

Word of mouth quickly fermented and caused an extremely strong response.

Coupled with powerful publicity resources, this song quickly topped the list of important mainland charts in a very short period of time.

The on-demand rate on radio stations is also high.

But compared to "Fairy Tale", this song is not as catchy.

Although the song is nice, it is not as easy to sing as "Fairy Tale".

Far less phenomenal than "Fairy Tale".

This also gave Nayoung an opportunity to take advantage of "Conquest".

After the release of "Conquer", after EMI invested in publicity and distribution resources regardless of cost, the album's title song "Conquer" reached the top of the Mainland's important song charts on the same day.

In just two days, it started to compete with "If This Is Love" at the top of the list, and it was likely to knock "If This Is Love" down.

The situation also developed in the direction of their fantasies, and finally today they succeeded in replacing "If This Is Love" at the top of the charts.

The record sales of "Conquer" are also very satisfactory, and it looks like it will be a big hit.

This made EMI and Naying very happy, feeling proud and proud of a great victory.

I was so carried away that I almost opened the champagne at halftime.

They seem to have forgotten something.

When Qi Wei promotes his new album and releases the first song, he usually doesn’t use the song that has the highest expectations in the album.

Just like in Qi Wei's first solo album "Nineteen Years Old", the first song "Muma City" was not the most popular song in the album.

It is far less popular than the three songs "Chinese", "Dusk" and "Fairy Tale" in the same album.

The same is true for Qi Wei's new album. The song "If This Is Love" is just an appetizer.

He will save the good things for last.

What he has high hopes for is the title song that will be promoted with the release of Qi Wei's new album.

In Hong Kong, Qi Wei focused on promoting "Break Up with Good Will" and "Thousands of Miles Away" with Zhou Huimin and Zhang Xueyou.

In the mainland, Qi Wei focused on promoting another song.

At this time, a staff member came in and whispered a few words in Vice President Sun's ear.

Vice President Sun picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, and quickly switched to the music channel of CCTV.

The host on the music channel is introducing Qi Wei's new album.

It feels like receiving money, and it's a compliment in a variety of ways.

But it didn’t last long before Qi Wei’s new MV started playing.

The MV for the hit song "Courage" that Qi Wei is promoting in the Mainland.

I've been very busy at work these two days. I'll take a break tomorrow to make up for the update.
