Chapter 1149 Like a Stone Sinking into the Sea
"No one enters the entertainment industry to do charity work. Take you for example. You have an outstanding appearance, not inferior to those male stars, and a clear and unique voice, with talent. But your concert tickets, priced at only $888, took six months to almost sell out. Although you have fans, you can't convert them into your greatest benefit." Heather analyzed calmly and objectively.
Caspian's face showed a hint of an emotionless smile. "In your eyes, are fans merely a source of profit?"
"Then, do you like those obsessive fans just now?"
"These obsessive fans are different from those who support my music and appreciate my talent."
"Caspian, you know fans are your friends, but they are also the supporters behind you getting top resources. Without them, you wouldn't even be able to hold this concert now."
"I know." He sneered, "I am well aware of my current situation."
At a party two years ago, a businessman touched his thigh, and he was immediately unhappy. Although he knew these businessmen didn't care about gender, Caspian didn't expect to encounter it himself.
He was disgusted and refused on the spot.
The businessman said, "An unknown artist shouldn't think about resisting."
Since then, Caspian's career plummeted.
He used to have some commercial performances and appearances, but later even those disappeared.
He didn't have a single event for six months. He wrote countless songs, but there was no response when he sent them out.
Even if he thought the song was good enough, without promotion and marketing, it wouldn't trend. When the big shots in the music industry summarized country music songs, they would overlook him.
Caspian experienced being shelved as he couldn't even pay the rent.
In the end, he had to sell his songs to get a few thousand dollars for living expenses. It was his original work, but a newcomer sang it and became famous overnight, gaining countless fans.
This newcomer was the rising singer of the entertainment industry, Tyrell Baldwin. The song that made Tyrell explode in popularity was Caspian's original song "Blizzard Time".
Tyrell now had countless fans and topped the Forbes Celebrity List last year.
Recalling these, Caspian clenched his fists. He was also a proud person. He often wondered why he was so excellent in every way but didn't become popular.
"Actually, to be honest," Caspian smiled self-deprecatingly, his thin lips curving, his eyes trembling slightly. "Today's concert, in reality, only had five or six thousand people. You see them filled because fans placed light boards there to create the illusion that someone is sitting there."
Caspian stood on the stage and could see clearly the last few rows were almost empty, only blue light boards flashing.
He also knew that his popularity had declined in recent years, and country music singers were niche, with not many people listening to him sing country music. But he could sing not only country music but also pop songs. However, the released works received no response.
