Chapter 51: The Queen of Pop
"Boss, water. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sid's assistant saw Sid's face covered with sweat, and immediately handed over a bottle of Evian mineral water.
"Oh, thanks. Sid put down the microphone and grunted a bottle of Evian in one gulp, "Whew-" before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he found that his assistant was looking at him with an excited expression of chasing stars, and Sid couldn't help but pouted the corners of his mouth helplessly: "Have you seen enough, I'm not a Victoria's Secret model." ”
"Ahh The assistant shook his head repeatedly.
At this time, there was a commotion in the distance backstage, and Sid's eyelids jumped, and he immediately jumped up, "Let's go!"
After saying that, Sid strode out of the special backstage of the singing through another passage. In order to keep Sid's identity secret, Sid surrounded the backstage under the guise of a mysterious singing star, and after clearing everyone, Sid and his assistant were left behind.
Just a few steps after Sid and Sid walked out, several middle-aged British people with excited faces ran towards this side, and as soon as they saw Sid, they asked impatiently: "Boss, Boss, where is the singer just now!?"
The assistant behind Sid immediately looked confused, isn't this going to be caught.
Sid curled the corners of his mouth as usual, and then his expression changed, and he said with pity on his face, "Oops, you're late, he's just gone." ”
"What! gone?" exclaimed, led by the general manager of Viking Records' RB branch, with a look of pity.
"Yes, just left. Sid nodded calmly, and the assistant behind him looked at Sid in surprise, his own boss is really deep. This ability to lie to the face is getting more and more slippery.
"Did you just hear that song, Boss!" asked the general manager of the RB division excitedly.
"Well, when he sings, I'm on the side. Sid nodded.
"Then," the director of the RB branch looked at Sid's confident smile and suddenly reacted and patted his head, "Boss, this can't be the new singer of Fire Lion Records." ”
Then, the little assistant behind Sid was dumbfounded, watching the director of RB make up the whole plan in his own mind. "Boss, you're so wise. borrowed Miss Spears's concert and deliberately played a mysterious singer's drama to build momentum for future publicity. Boss, you're amazing. ”
Sid twitched the corners of his mouth speechlessly, who said that ordinary people's imagination is insufficient?
With such a strong brain replenishment ability, the head of the branch of Viking Records, why don't you transfer to Fire Lion Pictures? Uncle, I am very optimistic about you, do you want to come and make a movie with me?
"Yes, yes, that's pretty much the plan. Sid could only nod speechlessly, admitting to the end.
At the end, the director of the RB also curiously chased after him: "Then what is the name of this singer? If a reporter asks, what will we say?"
"Yes. Sid raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said, "K, his stage name is K." ”

Britney's album promotion at RB was a success, whether it was a grand all-Asia press conference or a special concert at the Dome Stadium. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as bursting with popularity and sweeping all the way.
After a week-long RB trip, Britney Spears moved to Europe to officially launch the global campaign for her second album "Love Confession Again Oops ...-I-Did-It-Again".
Coupled with the North American tour in March at the beginning of the previous year, Britney's local publicity meetings were also successfully launched.

"Wait!" Sid interrupted Barry Weiss (CEO of Fire Lion Records) on the video call, "Superboy?
"Historically", this boy group that belongs to the same RCA record as Christina and has a little "hatred" with Sid. Originally, in the late 90s, he fell out with RCA Records because of a contract dispute, and was later recruited by Jive Records because of a relationship between a big Justin and Britney Spears.
But now that Jive Records has become a sub-label of Fire Lion Records, and Superboy has disappeared with it, Sid doesn't care anymore, and now he hears about them again?
"Uh, yes. Superboy. Barry Weiss nodded, turned to the other person and said a few words, then turned back to Sid and said, "Here's the thing, after they won a tough lawsuit with RCA Records at the end of last year, Warner Bros. Records approached them earlier this year and signed them. ”
"Warner Music!" Sid curled the corners of his mouth noncommittally, since they are all together, then don't blame the ruthlessness, hum!
