[That’s weird. Could it be that the 10,000 album orders were just my imagination?]
[Shuimu, hurry up and reply to my message!]
Another two days passed.
Music manager: [Shuimu, I think we can arrange an event to stimulate fans to buy albums. What do you think?]]
[Don’t give up just because it’s too tiring. Let me tell you, if you want to be popular in the entertainment industry now, you have to rely on your fans. If you want to keep releasing songs on the Internet without showing your face or meeting your fans, you won’t be able to make a name for yourself.]
[I think we can do an event where I can meet you if I buy more than 5,000 albums. What do you think?]
[Shuimu, if you don’t reply, I’ll take it that you agree.]
News from three days ago.
Music Manager: [Shuimu, how long has it been since you last opened your business and released a new song? Do you want to keep relying on your old capital?!
[You’re still not online! Do you know that you’re about to become a has-been singer? Your album has no sales.] [I’m so angry.]
The news from the day before was:
Music manager: ” I’m really impressed. Now that your other fans have heard about it, they’re all asking me how your meeting with the big fan who bought your 10,000 albums went.]
[But I can’t contact that big fan who bought 10,000 of your albums. Can you try contacting him?]
[Please, he bought so many of your albums. Would it kill you to take the initiative?]
[Shuimu, if you don’t reply to my messages, I’m going to go crazy.]
[You should at least tell me if you want to quit, break the law, go to jail, or get cancer! Shui Mu, I curse you!]
Gu Yun hurriedly read the message sent by the music manager and roughly understood the situation. Then, he replied, [I’ve been a little busy recently, so I haven’t been online.]
His manager replied to his message almost immediately. His tone was very strange.[Yo, the busy man is finally online? Do you still remember that you’re an online singer? Do you still remember that you have a manager?]
[What are you busy with? Are you the CEO of the Gu Corporation? Gu Yun was busy dealing with the affairs of the largest company in the country, so he didn’t have time to play with his phone. You’re just an online singer. What’s there to be busy about?]
Gu Yun looked at this message and felt a little helpless for a moment.
The music manager was right. He was indeed the CEO of the Gu Corporation, but he was not so busy that he had no time to play with his phone.
However, he was not prepared to tell the music manager that he was Gu Yun.
Instead, he replied,[How’s the event you mentioned online going?]
He guessed that he was probably the only one who had the ability and time to buy 10,000 albums.
Moreover, he had bought it to please Hai Tang. If it were Shui Mu’s ordinary fans, five tickets each would be considered as supporting him.
Hai Tang, who bought six hundred albums at once, was already a super loyal fan.
The manager replied,” Come on, when I posted, I still had hope for you. I thought that there would be a few more big orders for the album. In the end, there were almost no fans who could buy 50 copies at a time, let alone 5,000.]
[Currently, there’s only one big fan who bought 10,000 of your albums. He’s no longer a fan. He’s a financial backer. Hurry up and contact your financial backer. Perhaps there’s still hope.]
Gu Yun was silent for a long time. He really could not bear to continue deceiving his manager who had beautiful fantasies about him, so he typed:
[Actually, I bought those 10,000 albums.]
[What?!] The manager’s reply was followed by several exclamation marks.
[Shui Mu, are you crazy? Why did you spend so much money on your album?]
Then, he sent an entire page of exclamation marks, which was enough to show how shocked he was.
Gu Yun sent another message to explain the truth.[The loyal fan who bought
600 albums is my wife.]
The manager was completely silent.
Gu Yun could almost imagine how shocked and crazy he was on the other side of the screen.
There was no other way. Gu Yun really did not want his manager to continue immersing himself in the beautiful fantasy of him becoming a big singer, lest his manager think of ways to organize all kinds of activities for him.
Now it seemed that as a singer, Shui Mu, the only person he needed to see was Hai Tang.
After a long time, the manager replied,”[l didn’t expect everything to be for nothing. Forget it, I don’t want to continue being your manager. Let’s part on good terms..]
