It was already noon the next day when Wu Haochen staggered out of the embrace of the Hilton sisters. He didn't check on the release of the album last night. After arriving at the hotel, he immersed himself in the two sisters 'world.
Therefore, the moment he got up and turned on his phone, he was shocked by the messages and notifications that kept popping up. F * ck, could it be that the matter with the Hilton sisters was exposed?
He quickly checked his phone. There were missed calls from his mother, Catherine, Arthur, the CEO of US Corporation, Beyoncé, and even more unknown numbers. There were at least 70 to 80 calls.
Wu Haochen dialed his mother's number first with a confused look. After all, it was his mother's birthday today. Perhaps his mother was looking for him.
After the call went through, Wu Haochen was about to ask when his mother's firecracker-like roar sounded from the phone.
"Where the hell did you go? Come back quickly. Damn it, the Americans have gone crazy because of you, do you know that? Your dad and I don't even dare to go out now. There are reporters outside the neighborhood saying that they want to interview you. Sh * t, how would I know where you went? Come back quickly. I'm about to die from being annoyed by these people."
Wu Haochen only found out after his mother's complaints that his album had become popular. Arthur and US had also released his personal information irresponsibly. Although they didn't have his address in New York, the reporters with noses sharper than dogs could easily find out about his family situation.
Listening to his mother's story over the phone, Wu Haochen's forehead broke out in cold sweat, but the excitement in his heart was beyond words.
"Catherine, you stay at home with Dad first. It's not convenient for me to go back. I'll call Arthur first to ask about the situation. I'll contact you later."
After hanging up on Catherine, Wu Haochen immediately called Arthur. He was the only one who knew the truth about the album's sales.
"Arthur, good morning…"
"F* ck, early my ass. Hurry back to the company. Your album 'Baby' exploded, did you know that? "Oh God, I swear I've never seen so many lunatics in my life. Come back quickly. I'm still helping you deal with some things." Wu Haochen didn't say a word before he was interrupted by Arthur.
Looking back at the two perfect bodies still sleeping on the bed, Wu Haochen woke them up and told them about the situation. Then, he left the hotel and returned to US company.
When Wu Haochen walked into the entertainment company, he realized that the people around him were looking at him as if they were looking at a ghost. Many young girls 'eyes were shining with a burning light. How should he put it? It was a little like a lion seeing a deer…When did he become so popular? He was not that handsome, right?
He was a little narcissistic, but before Wu Haochen could enjoy himself for a minute, a black shadow rushed out and stopped in front of Wu Haochen. Without saying a word, the two of them rushed into the company's president's office at a fast speed.
Then, the company's CEO, sales manager, public relations manager, and his own album production team were all squeezed in this small office. Everyone had a very serious expression on their faces. The CEO of US company, Mr. Carl, was staring at him with a sad face, as if he had a deep hatred for him.
" I say, everyone, what's going on? From Arthur's tone, his album shouldn't have failed. Why do you all have such expressions?"
"Stephen, do you know? 3.2 million! 3.2 million, what kind of concept is that? Should I laugh?"
Carl put on a sour face and said something that confused Wu Haochen. However, Wu Haochen knew that it was probably related to his album.
" 3.2 million? Are you talking about the sales of my album? Isn't that a huge success? Haha, are you guys still not satisfied with more than 3 million? I just found out. Hehe, shouldn't we celebrate?" Wu Haochen was quite excited. Although he knew that the album would not fail, he was still ecstatic when he heard this number. After all, this was the result of one night and one morning. Looking at the world, such sales could be described as incredible. Were these people still not satisfied?
" Yes, it was indeed a success. As of 11 am, we received a total of 3.2 million orders for the album, and this number is still increasing. If we continue to develop it properly, you might even be recorded in history as the highest-selling teenage male singer in the history of American billboard. Our audio sales and the music video on Youtube have also exploded."
"Yeah, then why did you…"
" The problem is, as of this morning, the printing factory has only printed less than a million copies of the album. The owners of the various retail stores are driving them crazy. In today's Internet age, it's already very good for most songs to be downloaded from the source. No one expected the sales of physical albums to be so terrifying, so…"
Well, Wu Haochen was also shocked. He had indeed forgotten about this at the beginning. In 2008, the internet was already fully developed. The way singers earned money was no longer by relying on albums. Instead, they used good songs to make a name for themselves and let their fans know them. In layman's terms, they became famous.
As long as you became famous, there would be all kinds of advertisements, endorsements, and invitations to perform. These were the things that celebrities really earned money from. For record companies in 2008, no one cared about the physical sales of albums. Even Michael Jackson's album sales were based on his super popularity and accumulated over time.
How could there be someone like Wu Haochen, a newcomer who conquered the entire United States in one night? To be exact, he conquered most of the women in the United States between the ages of 14 and 40. According to an emergency survey, 70% of the album buyers belonged to this group.
This abnormal situation caught the people of US completely unprepared, including President Carl. Although he had called the printing factory when the album had just exploded yesterday, it was too late. The one million yuan was produced overnight.
" Then what do you plan to do? After all, the fans are so passionate. We can't just say that we don't have any more albums, right?" Wu Haochen naturally hoped that the more money the better, so he asked immediately after understanding the situation.
" Of course." President Carl raised his eyebrows." Although the income from an album is nothing to most singers, that's because they don't sell much. However, when your album is sold in the millions or even tens of millions, it's still a huge amount of income."
" How about this, Stephen?" Karl glanced at Wu Haochen and continued," Here's what we've discussed. You'll be the one to step forward, and we'll set up a Twitter account for you, which is equivalent to your official blog. You'll go and explain the situation to your fans. Tell them that we'll meet everyone's requirements within a month and ask them to wait patiently."
" That's not a problem, but will those people buy it?" Wu Haochen asked doubtfully.
" Haha, Stephen, you're underestimating yourself. If you show up in Times Square now, you'll definitely be torn apart by those crazy women," Arthur teased Wu Haochen, which showed how influential Wu Haochen was.
