Chapter 46 - New Album (2/2)
After September, the record market was usually bleak, and near the Golden Melody Award, the singers who try to win the award will take advantage of this time period to boost up sales, making this period more chaotic.
If Ye Cang tried to win Best Newcomer, it would be okay to publish an album at this time, but with his strength, he could definitely win the Best Songs Award, which made the release time a bit problematic.
However, Ye Cang didn’t care. “Now that we are finished, there’s no need for delay. As for awards, I don’t care. I don’t need those things to prove myself anyway.”
“I think so too,” Yan Xiangming said seriously. “And I think the quality of this album is very good. In fact, even if it’s only one month, the sales volume can also be achieved.”
Yan Xiangming’s vision was very good. Shen Huai said, “Since this is the case, the publicity activity should be done early!”
Ye Cang was not interested in publicity, but Shen Huai, as an agent can’t ignore it.
However, Ye Cang’s album originally had the gimmick of “Million New Singers.” Besides, it was not long ago that he won the championship of “Star of Tomorrow”. Fans wouldn’t forget him so quickly. If they applied for a promotion fee from the company, there should not be a problem.
Generally speaking, when two singers of the same company compete for the Golden Melody Award at the same time, the company will not agree. It would disperse resources, and it was likely that it will not benefit any side and no one will win the prize in the end.
However, with Ye Cang choosing to release an album at this time, they assumed that Ye Cang wanted to compete for the Best Newcomer Award, so there was no conflict, and if both of them won awards, it also would be a good thing for the company.
As a result, the company readily approved the publicity fees, and asked the publicity department to assist in the promotion.
Only Ming Wei looked at Shen Huai’s lips curved in a light smile. Somehow, when she remembered that he used 1% of the advertising profit to replace Ye Cang’s song copyright, she suddenly felt that this matter may not be so simple.
However, Ming Wei was the only one who was so keen. Everyone else thought the same, that Ye Cang was going to compete for the Best Newcomer Award.
Although Cassie knew about it, she didn’t pay attention to it. She even thought that Ye Cang was a little silly. Since it’s good to produce a single in order to compete for the best newcomer award, why rush to produce a full album? It was pointless.
Shen Huai did not pay attention to other people’s ideas, but for the album promotion, he went to Li Luan’s company for cooperation.
When Li Zihang found out about it, he immediately called Ye Cang. “Do you really plan to release an album in September?”
Ye Cang: “Mm-hmm.”
Li Zihang was a little depressed, but soon after he was full of fighting spirit. “Although I lost to you in the finals, this time I will not!”
Ye Cang smiled. “Would you like to make a bet?”
Hearing this sentence, Shen Huai turned his head and looked reproachfully at Ye Cang. After teasing Fang Zhiqing, he still had no intention to spare Li Zihang.
Ye Cang touched his nose, and also felt that he was a little unkind, so he was about to change this topic.
Li Zihang asked, “What are you betting on? The Best Newcomer? I’m not stupid.”
Ye Cang heard a strong disdain for himself in his words, and he suddenly changed his mind and squinted. “Make it more exciting. I don’t care.”
“The Best Song?” Li Zihang asked.
Ye Cang: “Well.”
Li Zihang: “…”
After a long time, a sneer came from Li Zihang. “Ha ha ha.” It was clear that he thought he was whimsical.
Ye Cang: “What are you laughing at? If I dare to say it, then I am going to win the Best Song Award this year.”
This time, Li Zihang’s silence lasted longer.
Ye Cang almost thought that he had hung up the phone, when Li Zihang replied quietly, “Then I’m even more reluctant to gamble with you.”
Ye Cang was surprised. Unexpectedly, Li Zihang was so rational. He asked curiously, “Why?”
Li Zihang: “Refusing gambling is the rule of my family.”
Ye Cang: “…”
Of course, he couldn’t imagine that the only reason Li Zihang refused him was because of his grandfather. He could not estimate how much harm his poison did to this family.
Ye Cang hung up the phone with some regret.
Sure enough, the fools in the world were relatively rare.
On the other hand, Fang Zhiqing, who was making an album for the diva Ye Hazel, sneezed heavily.
