Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 166 Success
"no!"

Huang Ze answered very decisively.

You have to be resolute!

This is his huge gold mine, he can't ruin his reputation just after his debut.

Besides, nothing really happened between him and Mariah Carey. His last name is not Song, and he is not called "Little Black Song Ya".

How can I admit something that didn't happen?

"Then why did you write a song for her?" a reporter continued to ask.

"Because she is a signed singer of my record company, and I also think she is a very talented female singer, that's all, please don't make blind assumptions, I have a wife, thank you!"

After clarifying everyone's wild thoughts, Huang Ze shifted the topic to today's protagonist, Mariah Carey.

"Believe me, Maria is really talented."

"I've never seen a female singer under the age of 20 with such amazing talent."

"As for whether what I said is true or not, you will understand after listening to her songs!"

Huang Ze has answered similar questions at almost every book signing this week, and his mouth is almost covered with calluses from answering so many questions.

Fortunately, such efforts are rewarded.

Driven by his own autograph sessions, his initial sales were quite good. Compared to many new singers, it was a great start.

After the fans bought the song and listened to it, they immediately felt that it was a really good song.

It may not be very beautiful or a classic, but it is inexplicably suitable for the current festive atmosphere.

After one person listened to it, a family fell in love with the song and then recommended it to other families.

As the word spread, more people listened to it, and the song quickly appeared on the Billboard charts.

Directly fifty-sixth!

Although not in the top fifty.

But Mariah Carey is a newcomer!

Even Mariah Carey, who was always very confident in herself, was shocked by this result and shook Huang Ze's arm, "Boss, am I on the billboard now?"

"It's No. 56 in the first week. Will it be in the top ten next week? In the top three the week after that, and top the list in the fourth week?"

"I think this is difficult!" Huang Ze came up with a tactical drink of water, "You are a newcomer, and it will take time for this song to spread."

"But this song is very suitable for Christmas. It is very likely that this song will be on the Billboard every Christmas to increase its presence."

"It's on the billboard every year."

"Maybe this song will become a must-listen Christmas song."

“Just like the national anthem.”

"Well, maybe it will top the Billboard charts in ten or twenty years." Huang Ze said.

"That's too long!" Mariah Carey shook her head and raised a finger, "I hope I can get a No. 1 single next year!"

"Oh, one is too few."

"two!"

"By the way, boss, how many number one singles did your first album have?"

"Three."

"Then I don't ask for too much, three is fine." Mariah Carey smiled, "I'll try not to exceed you, boss."

"Hehe..." Huang Ze smiled and couldn't say anything.

You can't say the other person is daydreaming.

Because in her previous life, this girl had four number one singles with her first album, and she wrote many of her own songs.

This is truly capable of achieving this.

Even though the trajectory of this life has changed because of reaching the starry sea, Huang Ze only gives respect out of respect for the number one band second only to the Beatles.

"Maria, I believe you can do it!"

"I don't have any more songs suitable for you to sing in my head for the time being. You can also write some songs for your first album. As long as they pass the company's review, you can sing your own songs."

"Oh huh?" Mariah Carey glanced at Huang Ze in surprise. "When I say this, my mother usually says I'm talking in my sleep."

"You actually really believe that I can win three titles with my first album?"

“I don’t even believe in myself.”

"Why not?" Huang Ze spread his hands. "Maria, there is an old saying in my hometown: success depends on human effort. I am a yellow-skinned person, and foreigners can achieve three championships in their first major, so why can't you?"

“Have some faith in yourself!”

Huang Ze habitually patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Of course, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just calmly prepare the songs needed for the album."

"Yes!" Mariah Carey nodded heavily, "Even if it's just for your trust, I will try my best."

"Jerry, I'm so lucky to have a boss like you."

"I am lucky to have met a singer like you who can make money for the company."

"Hahaha!" The two looked at each other and laughed out loud in unison.

At the end of the week, Huang Ze's mission was completed. Mariah Carey stayed in the United States to continue promoting "Christmas Can Kill You", while Huang Ze returned to Hong Kong Island.

After getting off the plane, I went to Xinghai Records first.

The employees of the record company already knew that the company's new artist had appeared on the billboard, so when they saw Huang Ze coming back, they all cheered.

"Boss Huang is awesome!"

"Awesome! (Siguoyi)" Zhou Huimin, Sakai Izumi, and Yang Yuying, who did not have classes, could not help but sigh with emotion, and at the same time, they were full of expectations for their future.

You don’t need to be very awesome, as long as you can get into the Billboard like Mariah Carey, that’s a success!
Even if we don’t sell too many products in the U.S., we can still export them and sell them domestically!
With the title of an international singer, he has been flooded with endorsement offers in his own country.

Of course, it would be great if we could achieve better results.

Believe he can do it.

The three of them stared at Huang Ze in unison.

"Okay, everyone, stop praising me." Huang Ze pressed his palm down, not boasting or taking all the credit. "It's Maria's singing that's good, and it's also everyone's hard work."

"It's my treat tonight, a company dinner!"

Accompanied by another cheer, Huang Ze gave Chen Xing a look and walked into the office with him.

"Mr. Huang, what place do you think "All I Want for Christmas" will get in the end?" Chen Xing couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Whether it's the film industry or the record industry.

Being able to penetrate the European and American markets is something that Hong Kong companies should be slightly proud of.

Not to mention the huge profits, just the sense of satisfaction made him feel ecstatic.

Even if the singer is an American, white.

But once there is a first, there will be a second. This time it’s an American, but who knows what will happen next time.

When he thought about the possibility of creating an international singer in the future and his own status in the Hong Kong record industry would rise, he felt more and more that following Huang Ze might be the best decision he had made since he started his career.

The smile he showed towards Huang Ze became even brighter.

"Set a small goal, to get into the top ten!" Huang Ze paused and changed his words, "Well, it's a bit too crazy to say a small goal, let's set a medium goal."
