"I didn't expect that she would do this." Mary said to Xiang Nan.
"Don't be angry, I didn't agree." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "My will is still firm."
Mary smiled, "If I'm not here, will you agree?"
"Of course not. In this life, I only like you." Xiang Nan laughed, "There is no doubt about it."
"Really?" Mary looked into Xiang Nan's eyes and asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's true." Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, let's not talk about it. Now let's talk about it. You have earned so much money, how do you want to spend it?"
"Yes, I made a lot of money." Mary said pleasantly.
I really didn't expect that I could make so much in one night, 20 million US dollars, I really got rich.
"Think about how to spend it." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Why don't you go to a luxury store? Buy some leather bags, leather shoes, clothes, jewelry?"
"I don't want it anymore, I think I'm in good shape." Mary waved her hands when she heard this.
She is not too particular about food and clothing, and she doesn't think those bags, shoes, and jewelry are any good. If she had to choose between a string of diamond necklaces and a string of shells, she would rather choose that string of shells.
"There's no need to save money for me. With so much money, it will take a long time." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"It's better to save first." Mary still waved her hand and said, "There will be more places to spend money in the future."
Xiang Nan nodded, and after exchanging the chips, he returned to the room with Mary.
…
Turning around, Xiang Nan and Mary found the rest of the team.
As expected, they all lost their chips yesterday.
Someone may start making money, but not surprisingly, they lose it back very quickly.
There are even a few people who were not reconciled after losing money, and raised their bets to play again, and lost nearly ten thousand dollars in the end.
"It seems that your luck is really bad." Xiang Nan said, "In this case, don't play for the remaining two days. I don't like you throwing all the money you earn here."
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
"How about you, Dan, did you win or lose yesterday?" Manager Roy asked curiously.
"My luck is not bad, I won some." Xiang Nan nodded.
"How much did you win?" Everyone asked curiously when they heard this.
"Thousands of dollars. I just won two, and it's fine after I've enjoyed it." Xiang Nan explained.
He didn't tell the truth, because wealth should not be revealed. Among the team members, except for Roy, the others are all newcomers. Especially those four bodyguards, who have been with him for less than a week.
Except for Mary, he couldn't trust these people, so naturally he wouldn't tell them the truth.
Otherwise, even if he is not afraid of those people kidnapping and extorting, he is also afraid of causing more troubles and creating more trouble for himself.
"You are really lucky!~" Everyone envied after hearing this.
Especially those who have won money before, they are even more envious and regretful. If only they knew how to accept it when they saw it.
…
Just finished an interview with a local TV station in Las Vegas in the afternoon. When Xiang Nan was about to drive back, he saw his manager Roy looking at him in surprise.
"What's the matter, I made a mistake in my performance just now?" Seeing this, Xiang Nan asked suspiciously.
"Of course not, the performance was very good, but I have some amazing news for you." Roy said quickly.
"What?" Xiang Nan asked suspiciously.
"Mariah Carey asked you to sing, it's a good thing, can you imagine..." Roy couldn't help but smiled happily.
Mariah Carey is one of the three major singers in the United States, a true music superstar. Although Xiang Nan has a few hit singles, he is still not as good as Maria.
He is the queen of the song, he can be regarded as the little heavenly king at most, and he is still at the alternate level. There are countless popular singers before him.
So if Xiang Nan can write a song for Mariah Carey and spread the word, it will be very helpful to increase his popularity.
"If you don't invite a song, the minimum amount is for you to work together, otherwise you won't be considered." Xiang Nan said immediately.
He has a stack of good songs, but he doesn't want to sell any of them. The reason is simple, because selling songs does not make money.
In China, many songwriters earn very little.
The theme song, title song, and interlude of the TV series "Journey to the West" are well-known, and the famous singers who sing it earn a lot of money. But Xu Jingqing, the songwriter, didn't get a penny.
While copyright protection in the United States is good enough, songwriters are still squeezed and bullied. Songwriters were given 0.9 cents for every song produced that was under five minutes long.
That is to say, if you sell 100,000 singles, the songwriter can only get 900 dollars. In comparison, if a single sells 100,000 copies, the singer can earn about 400,000 US dollars, a huge difference of 500 times.
A certain singer earned 69 million US dollars on a world tour, and each show earned more than 1 million US dollars. In comparison, the authors of the songs she sang only received an average of more than one hundred dollars per game, which is ten thousand times worse.
It can be seen that the distribution of interests between singers and songwriters is really very different.
That's why Xiang Nan won't sell the song.
He would rather use it to support singers himself, at least he can make more money by then.
…
"You really thought it over, that's Mariah Carey." Roy said in surprise, he didn't expect Xiang Nan to give up such a good opportunity.
"I'm still Dan Crawford." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "That's what I said."
"Dan, if you think about it again, the opportunity is really rare." Seeing what Xiang Nan said, Roy quickly persuaded him.
Cooperating with Mariah Carey can open up the US market faster. At that time, to become a famous superstar, how much money can't be earned back.
"That's it, don't say any more." Xiang Nan waved his hands.
Mariah Carey either work with him or leave him alone, because he has no shortage of opportunities for fame.
It has only been more than half a year since he debuted at the beginning of the year, and he is already a popular singer. In another year and a half, he believes that he will be able to reach the summit successfully.
So he didn't have a strong motivation to work with Mariah Carey. Just in line with that sentence, the rabbit on the night of the New Year's Eve will celebrate the New Year without it.
It is precisely because of this that Xiang Nan is not used to her.
Seeing that Xiang Nan just disagreed, Roy had no choice but to say nothing more.
After all, he is just a manager, not Xiang Nan's boss, and he has no right to interfere with Xiang Nan's decision.
In European and American countries, managers and artists are in a cooperative relationship. If an artist is not satisfied with his agent, he can be fired at any time, and even change the agent company at any time.
So in foreign countries, agents often have to coax artists. Unlike the mainland, Japanese and Korean brokerage companies, they simply treat artists as slaves.
