Chapter 742: The Greater the Expectations, the Greater the Disappointment
Senior Shangguan was now recognized by China as the King of Singers. When his alb.u.ms were released, thousands of people would turn up and his concert venues would always be full. His boss at that time had also become the boss of the largest music company in China.
However, times were different now. What other company or boss would support someone out of sentimentality? Capital was all about seeking profits. People who could not bring benefits had no value whatsoever.
“Since Big Boss Huo signed you and spent a lot of money to create an alb.u.m for you, it means that he thinks highly of you. Big Boss still has very good vision.” Ling Sheng did not know how to comfort her. After all, the numbers were there.
She thought the song was nice, the production level was excellent and in combination with Sister Su Yi’s performance, the song could only be described as a G.o.d-like song. She even scolded the group of blind, deaf and ignorant fools in the Eight Immortals’ group chat every day, thinking that it would definitely become popular.
However, it had already been a week, but the response was still lukewarm. To be honest, even she was beginning to waver, let alone Sister Su Yi, the person involved. The degree of torment in her heart was definitely not something outsiders like them could feel.
“I understand. You don’t have to worry about me. What haven’t I experienced before? This kind of thing can’t knock me down,” Su Yi sighed softly. “I don’t care about myself. I just feel sorry for people like you who have high hopes for me.”
If she was the only one with a stake in this, it would not have mattered. However, the staff who had worked hard day and night in antic.i.p.ation and nervousness, her producer, Big Boss, and her friends had all trusted her so much. In the end, this had happened.
“Sister Su Yi, you’re overthinking.” Ling Sheng was still very optimistic. “Look at the entire music history of China. No one has been sure to become popular overnight. After all, there are very few chosen ones who can become popular in China with just one song and take the music industry by storm for a long time. Most musicians have worked hard to climb up the social ladder. No one can achieve their goal in the shortest time possible.”
To be honest, her current results were not bad. It was just a pa.s.sing grade. The company could recoup their production costs, but they definitely would not earn profits.
As the duo chatted, they reached the venue. Su Yi turned her head around and saw that the huge square was full of fans holding her support banners and waiting in line to enter the venue. Her heart suddenly calmed down. The situation was much better than she had expected.
Actually, one should have lower expectations sometimes. They would be much happier. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Just like how she had thought that very few people would attend the alb.u.m signing event, she felt very happy and warm when she suddenly saw so many people supporting her.
“Look! Look, there are a lot of fans!” Ling Sheng leaned against the window and smiled. “Sister Su Yi, let’s not compare ourselves to those music freaks who have reached the pinnacle of their careers after their debut. If you want to compare, compare yourself to the younger generation of musicians. We’re actually not inferior to them at all.”
Sister Su Yi was simply too anxious. After being silent for so many years, she suddenly signed a contract with the company. The company had given her the best resources and a top-notch production team. She was anxious to prove her value and wanted an alb.u.m to explode in popularity immediately. That was what caused this inner expectation to differ greatly from the actual situation.
The fans started to enter the venue. Ling Sheng also saw her Peanuts standing in a line by themselves with her support banners. There were many people, half of them were guys while the other half were girls
