Chapter 332: Confessing Your Heart
Chen Chufan has been very busy recently, and his busy feet don't touch the ground.
Although Mrs. Chen helped him decline the requests for interviews from many media outlets, his job was not much easier.
A week after the Lantern Festival, the fan signing meeting held in the capital had thousands of fans come to cheer, which greatly surprised everyone's expectations, and the originally scheduled three-hour signing event was forced to be extended to one day, and Chen Chufan's signature and even his arm could not be raised.
But even so, it still can't meet the requirements of all fans. In the end, there was no choice but for the staff to start counting the information of fans who came that day but failed to get the signed records, and promised to send the autographed records by Chen Chufan by mail within a week, so that they could be regarded as coping with the past.
The next day, Chen Chufan flew out of the capital and went to Pearl City in the south, which was his second stop to promote the new album. The signing ceremony with Pepsi was also scheduled here. Mrs. Chen is asking for Chen Chufan's consent, and after signing a contract with Pepsi, Chen Chufan needs to participate in an interview program on Pearl Satellite TV.
Of course, the new album promotion activities at this stop are not easy, and the fan signing meetings, song clubs, etc., which are the same as those in Beijing, all need to be attended by Chen Chufan in person. This made Chen Chufan not even have time to calm down and plan for his new album. You must know that Chen Chufan deeply feels that his time is precious, and he is determined to announce his retirement from the Chinese music scene after the contract with Universal expires, so he naturally has to hurry up.
So after the fan signing event in Pearl City, Chen Chufan took the initiative to find Mrs. Chen.
"Mrs. Chen, after Pearl City, can we shorten the trip, I feel that it is too late to promote the album every day, I want to calm down and prepare for the new album!"
"Ready for a new album? In such a hurry? Mrs. Chen was a little surprised, she could understand the singer's intention to come up with a new album, but she was as urgent as Chen Chufan. Even the promotion of the album felt like a waste of time, and it was difficult for her to understand.
You must know that for the vast majority of newcomers, the promotional activities arranged by the company and the agent are their favorite, because the number of promotional activities can often be equated with the sales of records and the exposure of the artists themselves.
"Well, time is of the essence! To tell you the truth, my contract with Universal Music expires in November next year, and I plan to launch the music industry when it expires. Chen Chufan said this decision lightly in the face of Mrs. Chen, which was enough to shock everyone.
"Launching the music scene in November next year? You're kidding? Mrs. Chen looked shocked without any surprise. Only with Chen Chufan's musical talent now, and Chen Chufan's popularity among the public, she is confident that Chen Chufan will be her most successful artist, and she even privately predicted that Chen Chufan's status in the music industry in the future will surpass that of the Chinese "God of Songs" Zhang Wenyou, but today she heard from Chen Chufan's mouth that he will retire from the music scene after one year and nine months.
"Yes. Mrs. Chen, I'm not going to hide it from you! Because only then can we agree on many things. Chen Chufan nodded calmly and replied in a sincere tone.
"I hope a message I just received will change your mind. You've got three singles nominated for this year's Grammy Award for Best Single, and you've yourself been nominated for Newcomer of the Year, and even your album "Extraordinary" in Country M has been nominated for Record of the Year. I'm sure you'll get at least one trophy at this year's Grammys, how about that? Are you still planning to quit the music scene? Chen Tai looked at Chen Chufan eagerly.
"Mrs. Chen, in fact, I have already made a decision. This decision will not change very much because of what awards I have won! Chen Chufan's attitude was very resolute.
"So why? Can you give me a reason? Mrs. Chen felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart. I couldn't help but think of the legendary experience of the teenager in front of me. An ordinary student of the history department. suddenly showed extraordinary piano talent, and then went abroad to study, but in country M, he did not do his job properly and began to learn pop music. Even so, he was successful in country M. But after success, he resolutely returned to China and started anew. Now I'm just starting to emerge, but I'm thinking about quitting the music scene again.
A young artist who doesn't play cards according to reason at all, this is also the artist who gives Mrs. Chen the most headache.
"Actually, Mrs. Chen, I think pop music is like that. and so on after the contract expires. I'm going to start a journey into pure music and do pure music performances! Chen Chufan explained.
"Classical?" Mrs. Chen asked suspiciously.
"That's probably what it means, I hope to cooperate with Mrs. Chen when the time comes!" Chen Chufan smiled casually. He continued, "So I'm hoping to release more albums in the only year and a half I have left. Of course, in the last half of the contract, I hope to hold my solo concert as soon as possible. These must have Mrs. Lao Chen. ”
Speaking his thoughts in one breath, Chen Chufan only felt relaxed, he believed in Mrs. Chen's ability, as long as he communicated with Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen would naturally plan a perfect schedule for him.
"Chu Fan, don't you think your schedule is still too tight? You are still young, and a few more years of development in the music industry will only benefit you. As a musician, I wouldn't be surprised if you work until you're 50. You should know that most of the artists on Hong Kong Island are amphibious stars who are developing music, film, and TV at the same time, and their time is not arranged very well? Mrs. Chen still wanted to persuade Chen Chufan and continued to persuade her.
"Speaking from the heart, Mrs. Chen, I never thought of acting in movies and TV! I just want to develop in music, and I think that only by making music wholeheartedly can I go further and make me feel more fulfilling. However, after choosing to devote myself to the music scene, I felt more and more that most of my energy could not be used for music itself, which was a kind of torment for me! Chen Chufan was a little stubborn, but he responded sincerely.
"Hey, okay, then I'll have to replan your career as a singer. Now that you've made up your mind, I don't have much more to say. I'll do my best to arrange it for you! Mrs. Chen sighed helplessly and agreed with Chen Chufan's idea.
Or is that a genius like that, her thoughts are completely different from that of a mortal like her, Chen Tai thought to herself. Then he asked, "You haven't mentioned your idea to anyone else, have you?" ”
"No, I just told you!" Chen Chufan replied.
After listening to Chen Chufan's answer, Mrs. Chen let out a sigh and advised: "Well, remember not to mention this matter to anyone before the contract expires!" ”
"No problem, Mrs. Chen, I listen to you!" (To be continued......)
