I Know Everything - Chapter 658
Chapter 658: Ethereal.
“Back to our first meeting.”
“Ah, Ah, Ah… Oh, oh, oh~~~”
“Back to our first meeting.”
Han Dong’er softly sung the last sentence as the instrument sound slowly faded. No one spoke for a while.
It was after a long time that Chen Huan clapped and gave two thumbs up to Han Dong’er who wore headphones.
“I have seen the most ethereal singer and it’s indeed Dong’er!” Chen Huan then said to Xiao Yan nearby, “Director Yan, the effort you put the last year will soon be greatly rewarded!”
Xiao Yan was equally as excited.
He had been making music for more than 20 years and he produced an Emperor like Zhu Shengyu so he obviously could see quality.
He had heard the song ‘Big Fish’ before but even so, hearing it again made him feel that it would linger with him.
To put it simply, he wanted to repeat the song again and again.
Of course, Xiao Yan wasn’t only excited about ‘Big Fish’ but also by the other songs.
All the songs that were given by Chen Huan were songs that put him in a ride of experience.
According to Xiao Yan, they were all divine songs and songs that would have swept the chart once it was released.
The second sentence of Chen Huan hit Xiao Yan even more.
He gave a huge offer to Han Dong’er in order to recruit her.
However, Han Dong’er didn’t release an album or a single so Xiao Yan was under a lot of pressure.
Nobody was blaming Han Dong’er but they were blaming him and Yanhuang Music.
Because Han Dong’er’s voice and singing skills were absolutely great and there was also Teacher Lu Xiaofeng backing her so why haven’t they released an album for her in such a long time?
Let alone releasing an album, there should at least be some concerts, right?
However, Xiao Yan had a distress he couldn’t say out loud.
Han Dong’er was a very stubborn person.
She must love a song before it could get into her album.
But given that she was spoiled by Teacher Lu’s quality, how could they find good songs?
It was even harder to find those that needed to fit her ethereal voice.
He finally found five songs for her after five months of searching.
In the end, it was Teacher Lu who took things in his hands as he gave a total of five songs to the 12 songs album.
Han Dong’er wanted to wait for Chen Huan’s return from the US before recording the last song ‘Big Fish’ so they could only complete it now.
Wasn’t people saying that the power of love was the greatest?
Xiao Yan felt there was something missing after listening to ‘Big Fish’ a few times back then.
However, Han Dong’er sang the official version this time for the first time and it was perfect!
To be perfect on the first try wasn’t easy to do even for those emperors and empresses but Han Dong’er did it.
Wasn’t that because Chen Huan was standing right before her?
Her heart felt tender and warm so she obviously would sing unrestrained and with etherealness.
However, the most important point for Xiao Yan was that the album was completed and was ready to be released.
In his opinion, it would be an insult to Han Dong’er, Lu Xiaofeng, Yanhuang Music and musix in general if this album didn’t sell at least 2 million hard copies.
So far, the best selling album in the past few years was ‘Life’s only Love’.
Grandpa Zhao Changshou relied on his appearance at the Gala to sell 3.5 million hard copies, which was absolutely insane in this era.
The second place was ‘Comeback’ from the Comeback band with 1.6 million sold so far.
According to the trend, it was very likely that they would pass the mark of 2 million.
Xiao Yan didn’t dare compare Han Dong’er with Zhao Changshou.
It wasn’t that she was worse than Zhao Changshou but she just didn’t have the same momentum behind.
But Comeback was a suitable comparison.
Once Han Dong’er sold 2 million hard copies, Han Dong’er would sweep away many awards at the end of the year and it would be natural for her to rise up to become the third Empress.
It would be like Li Bi who was promoted to small empress this January.
Han Dong’er had been a small empress for long so with the album ‘Red Bean’ and ‘Big Fish’ to propel her along with Yanhuang Music PR backing, being an empress wouldn’t be out of reach for her.
Among the three big record companies, only Yanhuang Music didn’t have an empress, how could this be allowed?
So Yanhuang Music had made great effort to produce Han Dong’er’s album and was also preparing to vigorously advertise and play their relation in the next six months so Han Dong’er could ascend to the throne of an Empress.
That was why Chen Huan said Xiao Yan’s effort would be rewarded.
“Speaking of which, this album wouldn’t be as great without you Teacher Lu.” Xiao Yan felt very excited but still very polite, “You’re definitely the best songwriter in the world!”
Xiao Yan truly thought of those words.
He already forgot the previous unpleasant interaction between the two.
Moreover, Chen Huan became an existence far superior to Xiao Yan so he didn’t dare to offend him.
Let alone Xiao Yan, even his boss’ boss, CEO Qi, would respectfully call Chen Huan ‘Teacher Chen’ so what was a mere producer like him?
It was best to befriend a person like that.
It would be good to have a good work relationship with his girlfriend even if they couldn’t be friends.
“So you guys should enter the stage of frantic advertising, right?” Chen Huan asked.
Xiao Yan cautiously said, “Right. This is a decision that Dong’er and I took after the discussion of her being inactive for years so it was time to put in the effort and work! She doesn’t want to relax.”
“But it’s not good to overwork yourself for a long period of time.” Chen Huan put forward his opinion.
“No worries.” Xiao Yan quickly replied, “I already arranged everything. She will at most hope to visit the city every two days and she will only be going to the first and second tier cities, around 20. It’ll be more relaxed when mid-August comes.”
“Good.” Chen Huan nodded.
Han Dong’er had been idle for so long, so she obviously wanted to prove her worth and sing good songs for her fans.
She didn’t care about the rise of Li Bi on the surface but Chen Huan knew deep inside, she wanted to compete a bit.
However, she didn’t have any work so couldn’t compare.
It was time for the people to decide who sang better now that she was releasing an album.
She would continue to try her best if she wasn’t good enough.
Moreover, she had another wish.
To do a real concert.
She hadn’t held a concert since her debut five years ago.
One, the power of Yongren Studio wasn’t enough and two, she didn’t have enough songs.
She now has 3 albums and if she added her few old songs, it would be enough.
Yanhuang Music lacked a great female singer to begin with but with a rising small empress such as Han Dong’er,, they certainly hoped to hold a concert for her so they could increase her influence and thus increase their Yanhuang Music influence via her.
After being done with the album, it was the perfect time to plan for the concert!
