Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"Thank you for saying that." Xiang Nan smiled, "I'm glad you like it."

"Of course, who wouldn't love that?" Mariah Carey laughed.

After some business compliments, the promotion officially began.

Mariah Carey is a diva after all, and Xiang Nan has really gained a lot of knowledge by working with her on promotions.

For example, he used to take a bus and go from stop to stop to promote. And Mariah Carey directly rented a private jet and flew wherever she wanted, just like taking a taxi.

When Xiang Nan was promoting "YEAH!!", she had to go to one TV station after another, while Mariah Carey went directly to the TV network.

The five major television networks in the United States, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and CW, cover almost 99% of the viewing population in the United States. Programs on the five major TV networks will basically cover all Chinese people.

Moreover, Xiang Nan had to ask someone to get on many high-profile programs before, but now he can get them all with just one phone call. Of course, this may be because he is also famous, so the TV station is willing to give him face.

All in all, Xiang Nan admitted that he took advantage of Maria a lot when promoting in the United States. After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. After all, Maria has been in the industry for more than ten years, and in terms of personal connections, she is not even the slightest bit better than Xiang Nan.

And Mariah Carey is also very grateful to Xiang Nan.

She was already on the verge of passing away, and she was only one step away from falling into the abyss, never to recover.

But this song "We Belong Together" brought her popularity back. Not counting the sales of the "Uptown Funk" album, the sales of her own singles exceeded 3 million.

Such achievements are no longer simple.

…

Thanks to large-scale publicity, the sales of "uptown funk" have remained high. Two months after its release, daily sales still remain at more than 50,000 copies.

Industry estimates indicate that the final sales volume of this album may reach more than 30 million copies.

This kind of achievement can be said to be unparalleled when the sales of physical records have been shrinking.

With this album, Xiang Nan has completely established his status as a king in the American music scene.

Even since then, he has become a number one figure in the world music scene.

After becoming famous, Xiang Nan also received many benefits.

For example, advertising endorsements were previously limited to European brands, but now there are advertisers from the United States, Japan, Australia and other places who want to cooperate.

And the endorsement fees are also very high. Previous endorsement fees were around hundreds of thousands of euros, with the highest being only a million euros. But now the endorsement fees have increased tenfold, ranging from millions to tens of millions of dollars.

Another example is performance invitations. In the past, the maximum price per performance was US$100,000, but now the price per performance is at least US$1 million. There are already performance companies who want to cooperate with Xiang Nan on a global tour. It is expected to hold 45 concerts and pay Xiang Nan US$1.5 million for each concert.

Another example is film and television invitations. Before, he had to make guest appearances in film and television series, and it depended on the faces of producers and directors, so he had to rely on connections and favors to get the opportunity.

Now he is being handed numerous film and television offers, all hoping that he will play a guest role in order to take advantage of his high popularity.

…

In February 2003, the Grammy Awards were held.

Xiang Nan released four songs in the United States last year, and three of them were shortlisted for this award ceremony.

They are "you are beautiful", "cry me river" and "YEAH!!", which were nominated for single of the year, best R\u0026B song, and best male pop vocal awards respectively.

Being shortlisted for so many awards just one year after his debut also made the music industry have high hopes for Xiang Nan.

The media, in particular, reported on him repeatedly, making him one of the most reported singers in February.

On the day of the award ceremony, Xiang Nan invited Mary to walk on the red carpet with him.

After his manager Roy found out, he tried to persuade her sincerely, "Dan, you have just become famous and you have so many female fans. If you officially announce your girlfriend now, what will you make them think? You can't hurt their hearts like this."

"I believe that rational fans still account for the majority. Besides, I win based on my talent, not my popularity as a single." Xiang Nan refused.

It was a great honor to attend the Grammy Awards together, and he wanted to share it with Mary.

"You will have many chances to be nominated for the Grammy Awards in the future, so why rush?" Roy advised, "It's not too late to walk on the red carpet with her in two years' time, after your popularity has been consolidated. "

"The reason why I work so hard to become famous is that after I become famous, I hope to live an upright life with the woman I love. But now you tell me that I can't take her out?" Xiang Nan asked angrily.

If he likes to hide and be sneaky, he doesn't need to take the star route. Just hide with Mary. Anyway, with his ability, as long as he deliberately hides, the CIA will never be able to find him.

He wanted to live an upright life with Mary, so he embarked on the road to stardom.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Xiang Nan, Roy turned to persuade Mary, "It's not easy for Dan to be as popular as he is now. You and I both know how hard he has been this year.

I hope you don't walk on the red carpet with him, otherwise, it will definitely have a very bad impact, and our months of hard work may be in vain. "

Mary finally accepted Roy's advice.

She didn't want to affect Xiang Nan's career and cause him to lose his fans.

"We will have a lot of opportunities in the future, I believe in you." She said to Xiang Nan.

Seeing what he said, Xiang Nan had no choice but to nod.

…

Later, Xiang Nan walked the red carpet with Mariah Carey.

The two of them are now being wildly matched by media around the world because of their collaboration on "We Belong Together".

Therefore, walking on the red carpet together will definitely create a buzz. At that time, it might stimulate a new wave of sales.

Mariah Carey seemed very excited to walk the red carpet with Xiang Nan, and specially chose a Saint Laurent haute couture dress for this purpose.

The dress was quite cool. From the collar down, you could almost see your belly button. Xiang Nan had to exercise restraint when walking next to her, otherwise he might make a fool of himself on the spot.

"Does this look good on me?" Mariah Carey asked provocatively.

"It's very beautiful and suits you very well." Xiang Nan nodded and said politely.

"I'll tell you a secret, I'm not wearing anything underneath." Mariah Carey leaned into his ear and said.

"Fuck~" Xiang Nan was startled, and couldn't help but be surprised by her boldness.

"I have booked a hotel. After the award ceremony, let's go back together." Maria whispered again.

"I'm sorry, I have other things to do." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan flatly refused.

He came to the Grammys to receive the award, not to date her.

"You are really a good man." Maria couldn't help but sigh after hearing his choice, "Why can't I meet such a good man?"

Xiang Nan had a serious face and pretended not to hear.

Their intimate interaction on the red carpet also attracted the attention of countless photographers, who all focused on them and pressed their shutters.
