Wilson was considered an experienced music agent in the industry. Although he was capable and experienced, his vision and luck were average. None of the singers he signed with were able to make a name for themselves in the American music industry.
The only one who was more capable and had some achievements was a cowboy singer from his hometown, Texas. He was discovered by Wilson during a country music competition. His singing skills were unquestionable, but the cowboy was a little addicted to alcohol and had a bad temper. Once, Wilson arranged for him to appear on a TV show. However, the guy casually said something that exposed his racist tendencies. He was strongly boycotted, and naturally, his future was ruined.
Therefore, Wilson could only say that he had been doing well all these years. In comparison, a female agent who joined the company in the same year as him had been promoted to a gold medal manager after making a singer popular. Why would she need to live in a commoner's apartment like him?
Wilson was eager to discover a newcomer with potential and turn him into a superstar in the music industry. He wanted to prove that he was not an unlucky music agent!
"This is the person I want!" Wilson looked at Yang Yi on the computer screen and felt a surge of impulse.
After bidding farewell to Miller, Wilson returned to his apartment. He did not even bother to take off his clothes. He pulled on his tie and turned on his computer excitedly and nervously. Through some of his agent resources, he looked up Yang Yi's name.
"No … No … He's not even registered with the American Singers Guild! This guy is really a complete newcomer! "Wilson looked at the results of his investigation excitedly.
Yang Yi had not signed with any music or management company in the United States. Wilson felt that he had a chance!
He was an Asian singer who could compose beautiful English songs. The cumulative views of his singing videos had already exceeded 100 million views. Furthermore, this person had a certain degree of popularity among the Chinese community. He had also written a wonderful script like "Prison Break." With all these factors combined, if he still did not become popular, Wilson felt that he would no longer be able to survive in this industry!
However, there was a problem. How could Wilson find this singer?
"I have to go to China and find Yang before the other agents find him. But China is so big. Where can I find him?" Wilson pondered.
"By the way, I think Leo's ex-girlfriend is an international student from China. Maybe she can help!" Wilson thought of one of his cousins.
Wilson did not know that after Yang Yi became famous, many record companies in the US approached him. There were even some international tycoons who wanted to sign him to develop in the US. But the result was obvious. Yang Yi rejected all of them!
However, Wilson didn't have time to think too much about it. Regardless of whether others were rejected or not, he had to give it a try no matter what. He had to seize this precious opportunity!
…
Four days later, at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, Wilson, who had flown halfway around the world, arrived in China.
His cousin's ex-girlfriend generously helped him. Not only did she help him find the contact address of Yang Yi's studio, but she also helped him describe his route plan after arriving in Shanghai in both English and Chinese.
Therefore, although it was difficult for Wilson, he still showed up at the entrance of Phoebe Studio a day later. After a long explanation with the receptionist, Mo Xiaojuan received him.
Mo Xiaojuan had also lived in the US for a period of time. Her spoken English made Wilson feel close to her. He told Mo Xiaojuan his intention, "I rushed over from the US because I want to talk to Yang face to face. If he goes to the US to develop his career, he will definitely become a very popular star!"
Wilson even handed Mo Xiaojuan his business card. The name of the management company listed on it was very famous. However, what disappointed him was that Mo Xiaojuan wasn't very surprised.
"Maybe they still don't know the strength of Treasure Management Company!" Wilson thought to himself.
He tried his best to describe the top ten management companies in the US to Mo Xiaojuan. At the same time, he also bragged about his own abilities and achievements. There were indeed a lot of exaggerations!
Even so, Mo Xiaojuan was still unmoved. She had even received people who were bigger than Wilson on behalf of Yang Yi. Although it was not necessarily about music, people from Woolf TV Station, the great director Wu Yian, and others were more important than Wilson.
"If you want to meet Yang Yi, I'm sorry to disappoint you! He is not in Jiangcheng now. He went to Shanghai early this morning to record a program, "Mo Xiaojuan said to Wilson.
Mo Xiaojuan was not lying to Wilson. Yang Yi had indeed gone to Shanghai to record a program. The special program of the Extreme Challenge, the charity concert, would officially start tomorrow night. Yang Yi, as Dan Hongkui's guest composer and actor, would also be performing on stage. Moreover, according to the arrangement, he would have a solo song.
However, to Wilson, this was a piece of news that made him feel helpless and disappointed.
It was not easy for him to find his way to Jiangcheng from Shanghai. In the end, Yang Yi had gone to Shanghai!
This was simply fate making a fool out of him!
"How about this? It was not easy for you to come all the way here from the US. If you are willing, I can bring you to Shanghai to watch Yang Yi's performance. After that, I will arrange a meeting for both of you, okay? "Mo Xiaojuan said.
"Alright! Thank you very much! "Wilson felt as if he had been saved from a hopeless situation. He grabbed this opportunity excitedly.
…
When Wilson arrived in Shanghai, he could not meet Yang Yi as Yang Yi was still rehearsing.
However, Yang Yi knew about Wilson's situation. Mo Xiaojuan was also contacting some acquaintances in the US to help investigate Wilson's background.
Wilson, who was kept in the dark, waited until the concert started. He then watched the show with great interest.
Although he could not understand the Chinese songs on the stage and the host's Chinese dialogue at all, Wilson still found it interesting. This concert was not serious singing, and there were all kinds of pranks on the "singers" in between.
Finally, it was Yang Yi's turn. Wilson recognized the man on the stage that he had been thinking about day and night!
Yang Yi's appearance was extraordinary. The audience below the stage gave him a round of applause and cheers. However, Wilson preferred Yang Yi's calm attitude.
Yang Yi was not as passionate as other singer-songwriters. Even when he was dancing with Dan Hongkui and the choreographers, his aura did not fluctuate at all!
Of course, Wilson still could not understand the song that Yang Yi was singing. Of course, Wilson did not know that there were not many people who could understand the lyrics of the song that he and Dan Hongkui were singing. Wilson could only admire Yang Yi's stage performance and his singing skills that could be appreciated under any lyrics!
"He sang very well!" Wilson exclaimed in his heart. "This temperament is simply the seed of a superstar!"
After a series of pranks on Dan Hongkui, Yang Yi began his performance.
Under Wilson's surprised gaze, Yang Yi played the violin. The gentle melody began to flow in the hearts of the audience like a trickle.
It was a Chinese song!
However, this time, Wilson could not help but ask Mo Xiaojuan, who was next to him, "What song is this?"
"When You're Old." Mo Xiaojuan translated the song title in English and told Wilson, "It's also a song that Yang Yi composed."
A good song was to be listened to, and Wilson did not want to interrupt others' enjoyment of the song again.
However, Wilson had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"He should sing an English song. I'm Yours is very good!"
"He actually knows how to play the violin, and he plays it very well!" Wilson did not know how to play the violin, but he knew how to appreciate it!
"Yang Yi can definitely become a superstar that will make people crazy! I can already imagine him performing at the New Year's Eve concert in the metropolis' Times Square. It will definitely be spectacular! "
Wilson looked at Yang Yi and fantasized in his heart.
However, he did not know that Yang Yi was not an ordinary singer. He was the toughest bone in the world!
