There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 533 Chapter [-] Hello
PS: There is only one chapter today, close to [-] words

At this time, the United States is still in 2014, and there are still two hours before the New Year.In a small make-up position in the waiting room, Chen Lan just finished her make-up.And Xuan Ye looked at Han Xiao who was wearing headphones in front of her with a tense little face, thought she was nervous, and hurriedly comforted her: "Han Xiao, don't be nervous, trust yourself."

"Ah, Teacher Ye, what did you say?" Han Xiao asked after seeing Michelle Ye's movements, took off the earphones.

"I asked you if you were a little nervous, would you like to drink some water to relax." Michelle Ye said again.

Han Xiao couldn't help sticking out his tongue: "Teacher, I'm not nervous. I'm just listening to 'Zhang Zhen Tells a Story'. The story just now was a little scary."

"You..." Michelle Ye was a little speechless about her hobby.Han Xiao used to go home by herself at night. In order to train her courage, she found the audio of "Zhang Zhen Telling Stories" to listen to. Later, although her courage grew, she also liked this kind of story.

"Han Xiao, get ready, it's our turn soon." Tang Yuan and Qu Xiaoxiao walked in together and said to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao checked his wireless earphones again, and then followed Tang Yuan to the waiting area of ​​the stage. Linda and Matthew Phillips, the artist manager of Universal Music, were already waiting here. Han Xiao gave a warm hug.

Originally, the organizer ABC TV station only gave Han Xiao eight and a half minutes, the singing time of the two songs, including the prelude and the pause time between the two songs.For Han Xiao, it can only be tight, and there can be no mistakes in the middle, and the accompaniment must be able to connect smoothly.

Qu Xiaoxiao approached ABC Universal Broadcasting Company to communicate, but the ABC staff responsible for contacting was relatively arrogant.In the end, it was Linda who came forward to find Matthew Phillips from Universal Music, and then adjusted the time to the current 10-minute two songs, which would allow nearly a minute more of rich time.

Although the organizers made things difficult for Han Xiao, Matthew Phillips of Universal Records was very enthusiastic and proactive.Although Linda is of Chinese descent, she is of American nationality. She holds 5% of the shares of Wild Fox Investment Company, and she is also a well-known beauty and rich man in the United States. In this country where capital is king, money has a certain status.

Moreover, the current rapid development of global film and television has caused the extreme shrinkage of the music record market.Matthew Phillips worked for Universal Records for 30 years and was once Whitney Houston's manager.It's just that after breaking up with Whitney Houston for some reason in 2001, he never brought any artist, but stayed at Universal Records to do management work.

This time I saw Han Xiao from Huaxia, and he began to look at her with colored eyes like other colleagues. A Chinese singer wants to get his hands on the Grammy just because of a good song?
But after auditioning Han Xiao's singing, he was shocked that this petite and thin girl could make such a penetrating singing voice.He changed his opinion. He wanted to be her manager. This girl had a talent no less than that of Whitney Houston. If she had a good chance, she might become the next world-class queen.

Kelly Clarkson's performance was over, but Han Xiao was stopped by the staff when she was about to go on stage. Kelly, who had finished her performance on the stage, was sending New Year greetings to fans in the audience and blowing kisses.Matthew Phillips couldn't help shouting: "Oh, no! Kelly Clarkson is throwing a fit again."

Seeing that the time had exceeded 2 minutes, Linda hurriedly found the staff at the entrance of the stage to communicate.But Kelly Clarkson ignored the director's request.

Looking at Kelly Clarkson who was still blowing kisses around the stage, Qu Xiaoxiao and Tang Yuan were also anxious.Even the people in the conference room of Yanjing Company were talking about it.Shen Fang frowned, and gave Zhong Lifang some instructions in a low voice, and then Zhong Lifang got up and went to the position of the propaganda department, instructing them on how to guide public opinion.

At this time, Linda, who had failed to communicate with the TV station at the scene, made a decision.She said to Matthew Phillips: "Mr. Phillips, since time is too late, let's adjust the song, please tell the director that we will only sing the second new song, and the song "Dream It Possible" will not be sung temporarily. "

Linda's words brightened Han Xiao's eyes who were a little nervous, and she said to Matthew Phillips: "Mr. Phillips, just follow Linda's suggestion, we only sing the song "Hello"."

"Ms. Han, are you sure you want to sing the second song?" Matthew Phillips reconfirmed to Han Xiao.

"Well, I'm sure." Han Xiao looked at Matthew Phillips and nodded.She believed that the new song given to her by Shen Fang would be a blockbuster. In the face of any conspiracy, strength is the most important thing.

"Okay, let's sing this one, let's show them what their real strength is." Matthew Phillips hurriedly found the director to change the repertoire.At this time, Kelly Clarkson had already stepped off the stage. When passing by Han Xiao, her eyes tilted 45 degrees and she snorted coldly.If it wasn't for the fear of being caught by the cameras that might exist around her, she would have wanted to take the opportunity to push Han Xiao.

Although Han Xiao disdains her actions, he has no way to fight back in terms of words or actions. He can only wait until the stage to compete.

Kelly Clarkson arrives in the staging area to be greeted with a hug from Meghan Trainor.The two of them belong to the same music company, and there is no conflict of interest for the time being. Kelly Clarkson deliberately wastes Han Xiao's time. Apart from the connivance of the TV station, it is more for the company's new little girl.

When Han Xiao came to the stage, the flashing fluorescent sticks in the audience stopped waving, and the audience of more than [-] people were wondering who the singer was and why there was an Asian singer on the stage.After a short period of astonishment, everyone began to communicate freely, because every New Year's Eve there are many foreign singers on stage, even if they don't know each other, they can still cheer when the next one appears.Only some overseas Chinese students cheered excitedly when they saw Han Xiao appearing on the big screen.

Without too many movements, Han Xiao just stood quietly in the center of the stage, holding the microphone stand and quietly waiting for the moment when the music started.The music sounded, and an extremely soothing piano prelude seemed so soft on this New Year's Eve carnival night.

"Hello, it''s me (how are you, it's me)
I was wondering if after all these years you''d like to meet
(I wonder if you still love life after all this time,)
To go over everything
(All kinds of things that I have long forgotten)
......"

When the first sentence "Hello, it''s me" appeared, it seemed to press the pause button for this carnival New Year's Eve. This ethereal voice with a hint of hoarseness made this extremely noisy Universal Times Square The scene was instantly quiet.The extremely deep penetrating power makes this "Hello" seem to be a greeting in everyone's ears, as if someone is saying hello to you softly.Everyone looked at the stage and the big screen in unison.They couldn't believe that this contagious voice came from this short Asian girl.

Matthew Phillips said to Linda: "Every time I hear Ms. Han sing this song, I feel a little throbbing, her talent is so good, the treble part can be compared with Rihanna. If your company can sign Ms. Han's management contract to Universal Music, I will definitely make her the first world-class Chinese queen."

Although Linda was a little complacent, she still looked calm: "Mr. Phillips, I can't answer you for the time being. Han Xiao is a relative of Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen personally asked her about her development. And even this Mr. Shen also wrote the song specially for her, so we can’t make a decision about Han Xiao’s follow-up development.” There was a slight pause: “Our Mr. Shen will arrive in Los Angeles before the Grammy Awards, and he will hold a meeting For a party, you can apply directly to him. He has high hopes for Han Xiao, and for Han Xiao's development, he should agree to you."

Although Linda didn't say it clearly, Matthew Phillips has heard the inner meaning. If Universal Music can help Han Xiao win the Grammy's "Best Newcomer Award", Shen Fang should agree to hand over Han Xiao's management contract to Take care of yourself.

Matthew Phillips secretly made a decision that he must seize this opportunity in the last few years of his career. It seems that Han Xiao's biggest competitor for the Grammy this time is Megan Trina, so he You can make some articles about Kelly Clarkson's deliberate time-consuming just now, and Matthew Phillips's idea is not just the "Best Newcomer Award".

"...

Hello from the other side
(A hello from another country)
I must''ve called a thousand times to tell you
(I prepared thousands of times just to tell you personally)
I''m sorry, for everything that I''ve done
(I'm so sorry for what I did)
But when I call you you never seem to be home
(But even if I call you like this again, the feeling of home has long since disappeared)
......"

Qin Mohan had heard Han Xiao sing this song in the recording studio. At that time, she quietly hid in the recording studio alone, crying silently listening to this song.She once wanted to ask Shen Fang why she wrote such a song, but she still held back.

Although it is understood literally that this is a love song, it is the love song of my ex who wrote the song.But Qin Mohan still thinks that this is written by Shen Fang to himself ten years ago, to the self who was confused because of his parents breaking up, and the self who was lonely because of the separation of his family.

Liang Hui also just attended CCTV's New Year's Eve party last night, but she came to the company early this morning to record New Year greetings.Now when I hear Han Xiao's singing, I can't help but be amazed by her talent: "Han Xiao's singing skills have improved again, her voice is so penetrating now, and the hello she just said made my spine shudder. Ma. It's as if someone whispered 'hello' in my ear."

Liang Hui's statement was recognized by many people in the company, and the public relations personnel of the Propaganda Department also began to criticize in the comment area.In fact, there is no need to control comments at all. Most of the replies in the bullet screen on the Internet are that the ears are infected.

Because this is an English song, most of the Chinese netizens who watched the live broadcast were admiring Han Xiao's singing skills. At this time, countless live audiences in Times Square in New York were immersed in the lyrics of this song.

Many people ask themselves in this song, ask their ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend, whether they have said to him (her):
"Hello, I don't know if you still love life after so long."

"I don't know if you feel sorry for your past."

This is like a farewell, a farewell to all the good, bad, happy, and sad in the past; it is also like a confession, telling how I spent the days without the other party.

After one song was sung, it ended 2 minutes earlier than the time given by the organizer.There was not enough time to sing the song "Dream It Possible". Han Xiao bowed slightly to the audience, turned and left, becoming the only singer who only sang one song tonight.

The audience in the audience saw Han Xiao exiting the stage, as if awakened from the lingering rhyme of the song. They didn't know who took the lead, and called "Encore", and then countless people followed in "Encore".

The sound of "encore" from the audience stunned Megan Trina, who couldn't wait to go on stage after watching Han Xiao step down. She looked at her manager in embarrassment, and the manager didn't know what to do. In response, I had no choice but to signal her to sing according to the established song.

The music started, and she, who was also a newcomer, sang "All About That Bass" according to her own rhythm, but the cheerful music sounded too harsh and too loud to the countless audiences who were still reminiscing about the song just now.There were boos all over the place for a while, and Megan Trina, who had just debuted not long ago, made a big mistake in the boos and went out of tune.

"Han Xiao, you did a great job." Linda gave Han Xiao a big hug who had just stepped down, and Han Xiao smiled embarrassedly.

Qu Xiaoxiao said from the side: "Your performance is very good, we have already made an announcement about the fact that you only sang one song, and we also asked ABC TV to give us a reasonable explanation, we can't be ignorant I will suffer this loss."

Matthew Phillips, who had made up his mind, also said: "Miss Han, don't worry, Universal Music will not just ignore this matter, ABC TV must give us an explanation."

"Thank you, Mr. Phillips." Han Xiao first thanked Matthew Phillips, and then gave a big hug to Xuan Ye who had been standing by the side and looked at him lovingly: "Thank you, thank you, Teacher Ye .”

Megan Trina also only performed two songs and ended up hastily. Her manager looked at her artist with a livid face.Although he is only a 10% gentleman, but as a senior manager of Sony Records, he knows that his artist has failed today. If there is no good way to clean up her bottom, she may be finished.They are not worried about the Wild Fox Company from China. What he is worried about is Universal Records. With Han Xiao's strength just shown, Universal Records will definitely stand out for her and try to get her a management contract in the United States and even the world.

After the countdown to the New Year's Eve, the gorgeous crystal ball fell on Times Square, representing the arrival of the new year, and the time has officially entered 2015.

After the New Year's Eve ceremony, all singers participating in the live broadcast will be invited to a celebration reception held by ABC TV.Although somewhat reluctant, Linda and Matthew Phillips took Han Xiao to participate.Kelly Clarkson and Megan Trina were brought back to the company by their managers. This matter requires Sony to come forward for public relations, otherwise the two artists teaming up to suppress other artists will affect the image too much.

The manager in charge of the live broadcast of ABC TV station took the initiative to find Linda to apologize. He was also amazed by Han Xiao's song. If he had known that Han Xiao had such strength, he would never have allowed Kelly Clarkson to stay on stage for so long .

Yes, ABC TV put all the responsibility on Kelly Clarkson, directly stating that Kelly Clarkson ignored their request and caused the live broadcast accident by delaying herself on stage. ABC will evaluate the whole incident Sony's Epic Records (Epic Records) issued a notice of the impact of the incident.

Linda has been in the American entertainment industry for several years, and her ex-girlfriend is still a well-known Hollywood movie star, so she is very clear about the operation here.Now is not the time to hold ABC TV station accountable. She had already received instructions when she was on the phone with Shen Fang in China. Now is the time to jointly suppress Megan Trina with ABC TV station and Universal Records. Meishang Han Xiao's biggest competitor.

Sometimes people have to learn to compromise. After reaching a consensus with ABC, the three companies shook hands to form an alliance. Linda also led Han Xiao to contact various people in the music industry who attended the reception.

Of course, there are also people who are not in the entertainment industry but often come into this circle, such as this blond Mr. Trump.

"Miss Lin, happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Trump. Our boss also told me that if I meet you, I must say Happy New Year to you for him."

"Thank you Mr. Shen for your concern, but after he returned to China, he seemed to have forgotten our friends from the United States."

Linda couldn't help but slander Trump's words. What I said just now was just polite. My boss and you just met once. How can I specifically ask me to greet you.

Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still expressed his respect to this New York rich man who had participated in the US presidential election many times: "I will definitely convey your greetings."
