Chapter 616 617【Goodbye Charlotte】
With the popularity of "The Son of Man", 2003 came quietly.
During the awards season at the end of the year, Xiang Nan basically didn't go because he was too busy.
The unspoken rule of the award ceremony is that those who are present will get prizes, and those who are not present will not get prizes.
So although Xiang Nan has been shortlisted for many awards and is very capable of winning awards, but because he is engaged in a concert tour, he really can't get out of his family, so in terms of awards, he is not as big as last year.
It's just that even if there are no awards, just watching the concert, people who are full of pitfalls, can know that Xiang Nan is the real uncrowned king.
…
For Youth Asia Tour, which will last until March of next year, has traveled all over Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
This is basically the first time in the mainland music scene.
The mainland singers before this, fire to fire, red to red, but they were all confined to the mainland, and few people could go out.
Like Dou Wei, He Yong, and Zhang Chu, they held a concert at the Xiangjiang Red Pavilion back then, which is enough to be talked about for a lifetime.
Ke Xiangnan didn’t just hold concerts at the Coliseum, Taipei’s Little Arena, Malaysia’s Resorts World Genting, Singapore’s National Stadium… he left his footprints everywhere.
This is the real way to go out, and it has officially established Xiangnan's status as the number one person in the mainland music scene.
…
The major domestic media, newspapers, magazines, TV, and the Internet, also reported on this grand event, attracting the attention of countless people and admiring it.
"We also have singers at the king level in the mainland~"
"How can those heavenly kings compare with Yuan Hua? They all just sing songs written by others, and Yuan Hua wrote them all by himself."
"Being a star can do this, it really is worth living in this life."
Everyone talked a lot, and they were all envious of Xiang Nan's scenery.
The news that broke out later made them even more jealous.
It turns out that some media broke out Xiang Nan’s remuneration for this tour, and the average remuneration for each concert is 1 million RMB. Xiang Nan has held as many as one hundred games, which is 100 million yuan.
Even if taxes are deducted, Xiang Nan's net profit is still 50 to 60 million.
This figure was definitely an astronomical figure for ordinary people at that time.
"My god, is it so profitable to be a celebrity?"
"Another concert, and he'll be a billionaire."
"A concert tour costs 100 million yuan, which is more than half a year's output value of our factory."
Everyone was dumbfounded again, salivating.
…
In March, Xiang Nan finished his tour and returned to the mainland.
However, he did not return to Yanjing for the time being, but went to Xihong City first.
Because he received the news, in a few days, Charlotte will be released from prison.
…
The Second Prison of Xihong City is located in the outskirts of the city.
Surrounded by farmland, covered with thick snow, it looks quite desolate.
The wind is howling and the air-conditioning is heavy. In this cold day, the mice don't come out to look for food.
One was a dilapidated Jinbei car. It had been overturned several times.
The other one is a brand new Rolls-Royce, which is luxurious, elegant and dignified, like a lion crouching there, although it does not move, it is still not to be underestimated.
The value of the two cars differs by tens of thousands of miles, but now they are both parked at the gate of the prison, which makes the prison guards on duty feel a little strange.
…
At ten o'clock, the prison gate burst open.
A man came out with a bag in a daze.
A prison leader followed behind him, and told him, "Charlotte, you are still young. After you get out, you must work hard, reform yourself, and start a new life. Don't come back again."
"Thank you, Warden." Charlotte bowed respectfully.
He spent five years in prison and finally came out today.
At this time, the door of the Jinbei car creaked open, and two tightly wrapped people rushed out, hugging Charlotte.
"Mom, Dongmei~" Seeing the two of them, Charlotte couldn't help crying.
"Charlotte, don't cry, come out, everything will be fine." Charlotte's mother comforted.
"Yes, Charlotte, get in the car quickly, you should wear thin clothes, don't get cold." Ma Dongmei also urged quickly.
Charlotte nodded and was about to get in the car and leave.
At this moment, when the window of the Rolls-Royce was opened, a person poked his head out and shouted, "Charlotte, Dongmei~"
Charlotte and Ma Dongmei were taken aback when they saw this person, "Yuan Hua?!"
"Charlotte, let's chat in the car." Xiang Nan nodded.
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, then got into Xiang Nan's car.
…
"Charlotte, long time no see~" Xiang Nan sighed.
After Charlotte got in the car, she looked around the car, then took another look at Xiang Nan, curled her lips and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few years. I heard that you are doing well now. You have another concert and filming again. TV dramas, and now they are making movies... No wonder they can afford to drive a Rolls-Royce."
"Yes." Xiang Nan nodded.
This Rolls Royce is a gift he bought for himself. This Asian tour has held 100 shows, which made him exhausted for nearly five months. This car is a reward for yourself.
"I only heard about you when I took the exam in June." Xiang Nan said again, "Sorry, I didn't help you either."
"Forget it, I'm already very grateful that you didn't hurt me." Charlotte pouted.
"Charlotte, don't think of me as an enemy, I never thought of harming you." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Think about it, I just didn't let you write songs from beginning to end.
But there are a lot of ways you can make money besides writing songs. Opening Internet cafes, speculating in houses, buying stocks... none of them can make money. Why do you have to think so badly about yourself? "
"Okay, don't talk cheap to me." Charlotte waved her hand and said, "What do you really want? You don't think I've been miserable enough, and you want to come here to tease me?"
"Charlotte, you think too highly of yourself. With my current status, capital and connections, should I still find satisfaction in you?" Xiang Nan said speechlessly, then handed him a box, "There is one million RMB in this box, not too much, but definitely not too little.
Whether you use it to start a business or buy a house, I believe it is enough for you to start. It can be regarded as a little compensation from me. "
"Why, if you give me this one million, you think you don't owe me? You feel at ease, don't you?" Charlotte said coldly after hearing this.
"Charlotte, please understand that from the beginning to the end, I don't feel that I owe you anything." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if you are willing to degenerate, if you don't seek to make progress, or if you go to jail , You did it yourself, and it has nothing to do with me.
The reason why I gave you this million is just to repay your favor. If you want it, you can give it back to me. Since then, I have no contact with you. "
"Wang Badan doesn't want it~" Charlotte thought about it carefully, and grabbed the box.
Xiang Nan nodded, "Use this money well, I hope you and Ma Dongmei are happy!"
