"This damn hype!" Kalman stayed in his office, put down what he was doing, and looked at the long list of sales numbers that followed the website "lovetobelovedbyyou", covered his head with his hands, and cursed without grace. Of course, he'd heard the song before, and more than once. Of course, his preconceived notions made him think that this song was not very good, and the results it has achieved now are nothing more than damn hype.

But whether it's hype or not, it's an indisputable fact that "LoveToBeLovedbyYou" succeeded. In just half a day, the sales of this song have approached 2 million from 1.8 million times, which makes Kalman feel a lot of pressure. Of course, it's all because of the name of the hateful person that follows the song below.

Chen Chufan, Kalman silently muttered this name in his heart, which made him resentful. Although the company's top management did not explicitly say why the activities of "Future Idol" were suspended, he knew very well what was going on.

The company went out with a campaign held by the Berke College of Music, selected 10 singles, and then released a record, and if the final result was far from comparable to the sales of the single "LoveToBeLovedbyYou", it would be a huge blow to the company's reputation. You must know that this song "lovetobelovedbyyou" was also composed and sung by students at Berke College of Music.

At that time, the hotter the propaganda on his side, the more laughing stock it will be. People will say that at the event held by Universal Music, the real potential idols were abandoned, and the singles that were not popular were selected. Universal Music can't afford to lose that man.

He had already heard that the subordinates who went with him to the Berke College of Music to judge this event last time had been called by the company's senior management to talk one after another, but he, the principal, had not been found. It made him feel bad, and a lot of pressure, so of course he wasn't in a good mood.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what Chen Chufan said to himself before leaving: "I will use music to make you regret it!" In his mind, Chen Chufan's extremely indifferent face when he said this sentence even appeared, which made him angry for no reason, he slammed his fist on his desk, and yelled viciously into the air: "I will never regret it!" Stinky boy who walked shit luck! ”

"Click!" At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open, and a secretary beat a woman who was standing sideways at the door, looking at Kalman who was venting hysterically with some trepidation.

"Didn't I tell you to knock on the door before you enter the office? Damn it! What about your politeness! Kalman yelled angrily at the female secretary who suddenly opened the office door. His white face was flushed with rage, and he looked terrifying.

Especially Kalman's image at this time is also a little unbearable, his usually meticulous hair is rubbed messily, his tie is also unbuttoned, and the buttons of his shirt are unbuttoned twice, revealing a few rubs of black chest hair on his chest, with a red look on his face at this time, he is simply the image of a drunkard who has drunk too much. If it weren't for the fact that there was no smell of alcohol in the office. A female secretary must think that her boss is drunk in the office.

"I've knocked on the door, Mr. Kallman. It's just that you haven't responded, and Mr. Faith has just called you to go to his office, and I'm afraid it's been too long. It will upset Mr. Feith! The female secretary was frightened by Kalman's appearance at this time, and said in a low voice.

"Mr. Faith looking for me? Get out of here, and I'll be back to him right away!" Hearing Feith's name, Kalman's anger immediately vanished.

Merka. Fez. Since 98, he has served as the vice president of media for Universal Music in Europe and the United States, and is the real power figure of Universal Music in Europe and the United States. It's just that Merka talked to him, which made Kalman relax a lot. Because very few people in the company know about his relationship with Merka. Feith had a good personal relationship. The two used to be neighbors, and at that time, Merka. Faith also often asked him for a drink or two.

So when the secretary left, Kalman quickly began to pack himself. No matter how good the relationship is, the image in the company must still be paid attention to, and Kalman is not willing to show people the way he is now.

After straightening his hair, buttoning his shirt, tightening his tie, and taking three deep breaths, Kalman was back to being a personable gentleman. After squeezing a smile into the mirror, and feeling almost satisfied, Kalman stood up and walked out of his office.

Merka. Feith's office is on the eleventh floor of the company building, which is home to the top executives of Universal Music in Europe and the United States, and is also the place that Kalman yearns for infinitely. He had hoped to prove himself with the event "Future Idol" at the Berk College of Music and get himself to this floor, but now it seems that there is little hope, which makes him stand on Merka. There was a trance in front of Feith's office.

Moments later, however, Kalman came to his senses and knocked on the office door.

"Please come in!" Merka. Feith's voice came from inside the office to Kalman's ears, and there was no joy or anger to be heard. This made Kalman nervous again. He believed in Merka. Faith knew that it was him outside the door, as evidenced by the fact that when he asked the secretary at the door, the lovely beauty let him in without passing on it.

You know, when you usually know that it is Kalman who comes to find you, Merka's voice will always be a little enthusiastic.

"Good afternoon, Merka, how are you doing?" Kalman tried to make his voice seem calm and enthusiastic. He didn't even call Mr. Firth in the company, as usual, but by his first name. In this way, he wanted to evoke friendship between the two.

"I've not had a good time lately, Kalman you should know the pressure on the company right now, I just spoke to Kessel in marketing before you came. The company's record sales last week were even 9 percentage points lower than EMI Records and 13 percentage points lower than Warner's, which is unimaginable! "Merka. Faith said with a sigh.

Kalman didn't speak, he knew the man in front of him, he never said anything meaningless at work, and the next sentence he would get to the point. And that's exactly what happened.

"Kalman, you've missed an opportunity, an opportunity that will take you a step further and at the same time get the company out of its current predicament, how can you let me say hello?" Merka. Feith's expression changed to seriousness.

"Merka: I'm sure you've studied the song as well, well, I'll admit it's a good single, but he's not necessarily good enough to be as good as he is now. I have to say that the Z kid was lucky, but the success of this song is based on a movie, which makes its success serendipitous and even difficult to replicate" Kalman began to justify the conclusions he had recently come up with with biased thinking.

There was a look of disappointment in Merka's eyes, and he directly interrupted Kalman's speech: "Okay, Kalman. Is it useful to say these now? We are not a review agency, but a profit-oriented company, whether a single is good or not you and I don't matter, but the market has the final say. You need to admit your mistakes. Because of your pride and prejudice, let an excellent work pass by us! Originally, the event of "Future Idol" was likely to be an instant hit with this single, but now it has become a joke! Someone has to be held accountable for this! ”

"What do you mean?" Hear Merka. Cashman's words made Kalman nervous. He's been with Universal Music for decades, and he's used to life now. It would be nice if he could go further, but he couldn't accept losing everything he was having.

"You know what? Given your humble behaviour this time, many on the board of directors feel that you are no longer suitable for your current position. I know you, Kalman. But you shouldn't bring your biases into your work. This kid once signed up for an event with this song, but you disqualified him from the contest with nothing, and you even said something very unfriendly. Your stubbornness and prejudice have hurt you! Kalman. "Merka. Faith spread his hands and made a regrettable gesture.

"So what does it mean to be in a company? Are you going to fire me? Kalman's voice was unnaturally high.

"Yes, that's what most of the directors mean, and your behavior annoys them!" Merka. Faith nodded,

"It's not fair! I've been serving the company for over twenty years, and now it's unfair to kick me out for just such a small mistake! Merka! "Heard from Merka. Faith said the bad news that couldn't be bad, and Kalman finally couldn't keep his composure, and said excitedly and loudly.

"Alright, Kalman. Hear me out! "Merka. Faith frowned, although he could understand Kalman's mood at this time, he still felt a trace of dissatisfaction with Kalman's attitude. "You're an old friend of mine, so of course I'd like to give you a chance. But it's up to you to seize this opportunity! ”

"What a chance!" As if he had grasped a life-saving straw, Kalman looked gratefully at Merka, who was sitting at his desk and groaning. Fez.

At this time, how much he hoped that his friend Merka would give him a chance to satisfy him and allow him to complete self-redemption, so his eyes were full of hope, and now his demands were not so high. He didn't even think that he could go further, he just wanted to be able to keep what he had now. (To be continued......)
