Since he decided to sell his songs as soon as possible, Harrison Clark didn’t waste any more time and began to plan seriously.

However, since he didn’t have a company, all he could do was communicate with buyers as an individual. He couldn’t shamelessly promote that he had written six new songs to sell in just two or three weeks.

He thought about it and realized it would be best to connect with more artists first, then pretend to admire their vocal abilities and try to write songs for them to see if it would work.

In this way, everything would seem logical and not at all abrupt.

Alternatively, if he received invitations to write songs for someone else, he would be able to present the songs naturally and reasonably.

However, it was strange that even though Carrie Thomas’s “Boring” had been popular for some days, he hadn’t received a single call to write songs.

After giving it some thought, Harrison identified the problem.

Carrie Thomas was a new singer who was terrible at networking and didn’t have many connections in the industry.

Since people couldn’t get in touch with Carrie, they naturally couldn’t find Harrison, the “creator” behind her.

As for himself, he had made some connections with Avril Green and Jenny Hart.

However, Jenny had just bought one of his songs and had not started producing and promoting it, so others did not know about it.

No one could possibly link him with Avril Green.

So perhaps many people already wanted to buy his songs, but they had no way to contact him.

Ultimately, it was because his social network was too shallow in the entertainment industry, and he had exchanged too few business cards with people.

In addition, people only knew his name but didn’t know how to find him. He also didn’t have a well-known base in Oxfordshire.

The combination of these factors resulted in people not knowing about him.

Following other’s examples, Harrison added an email address to his Twitter profile.

As a result, his inbox was filled with over 200 emails in just one day.

He only skimmed through about twenty or so e-mails and was already overwhelmed.

These people had unrealistic expectations.

“Hello Mr. Clark, I’m a singer with big dreams, and I admire your songs. Can you write one for me? I’ll pay you after I become famous.”

“Mr. Clark, I’m an artistic genius. If you let me sing your song, it will definitely become famous all over the country.”

“I don’t have any money right now, can I buy a song on credit?”

“Mr. Clark, will you sell a song for 50,000?”

Harrison couldn’t help but laugh.

You people are more dreamy than I am.

The problem was severe.

With his energy and professional abilities, he had no way to select suitable buyers from the massive pile of emails.

Besides, even if some singers with a certain reputation in the industry contacted him, he wouldn’t know because he didn’t have the experience to recognize them.

He couldn’t possibly verify everyone personally, it was impossible.

In the short term, this strategy wouldn’t work. Harrison believed that he needed to wait for the right opportunity to meet and talk with valuable people. Life is precious, so why waste it?

Two days later, Harrison received an appropriate opportunity.

He received a phone call from Bella Ross.

It turned out that Avril Green’s birthday was coming up and she was planning to host a lively birthday party and invited him to attend.

Harrison was a bit puzzled, “Bella, isn’t a birthday party a very private event? Should I really attend?”

What he really meant was that he didn’t have much contact with Avril and they weren’t really good friends, so even though the party was held in Oxfordshire, it felt a bit awkward for him to attend.Bella Ross chuckled, “Not too many private ones. How many private times do celebrities have? Avril Green has also invited many friends inside and outside the circle. It’s a party and a networking event.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Do you remember Leah Clark?”

Harrison Clark nodded, “Of course, I remember.”

Carrie Thomas wasn’t the first one to buy his song, it was Leah Clark, who initially offered 200,000 but didn’t close the deal in the end.

Bella Ross said: “Leah Clark regretted missing the chance to buy ‘Boring’, so she specifically asked me before coming over if you’d be there, and she’d like to negotiate with you in person about your song.”

Harrison secretly rejoiced while acting calm, “Thank you, Bella, for recommending me. We can discuss it in person later. I personally hope to work with Leah Clark.”

“Alright, see you at Homey Rose 52 The Avenue of Sun at 5 pm tomorrow evening.”

“Ah? Homey Rose? I know that house—isn’t it closed most of the time?”

Harrison was puzzled.

The Avenue of Sun, as a famous commercial pedestrian street in Oxfordshire, is very lively. It is said that the rent for the shops here is extremely expensive. In addition to the local and foreign tourists, a small shop with less than ten square meters can have a monthly rent as high as 30,000 to 40,000.

Homey Rose 52 is located in the middle of The Avenue of Sun. The large vermillion door has an antique touch and plenty of charm. Judging from the length of its wall, the building covers nearly half an acre, but it hardly ever opens, making it a mystery with many rumors floating around.

Some say it’s a historical and cultural heritage and will be opened as a scenic spot after renovation.

Others say it belonged to a wealthy family that fled to overseas during the Republic of China era without returning to live there.

And some believe it’s the “palace” of a central government official, empty most of the time, and only occupied for a few days when the official visits his hometown.

Over the years, this place has become somewhat of a tourist attraction in Oxfordshire, and many local and out-of-town tourists have taken group photos in front of Homey Rose.

“Oh, that’s Avril’s private residence. But she thinks the house is too empty and lacking atmosphere, so she doesn’t like living there. It’s perfect for a party, though.”

Harrison Clark:”…”

He couldn’t deny it, he was quite jealous.

“Oh, I almost forgot to mention, Avril would like your help inviting Carrie Thomas. She’s very interested in getting to know this up-and-coming singer.” Harrison became intrigued, “Oh? What does Lucia think of Carrie’s performance of ‘Boring’?”

Bella Ross said: “She thinks Carrie is indeed more suitable for ‘Boring than herself, and given time, Carrie will become a major talent. Anyway, she has high hopes for Carrie.”

Harrison couldn’t help but admire Lucia’s sharp instincts.

But he felt like Bella’s invitation might not be as simple as it seemed.

Everyone knows that Carrie hasn’t signed a management contract yet.

Since Avril admires Carrie so much, Bella likely has other plans in mind.

No one would think Carrie plans to work independently her entire life. They believe she’ll sign with a company sooner or later.

Perhaps Avril Green, both an artist and a boss, wants to bring Carrie under her wing.

With this thought, Harrison couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Is Boring planning to have Boring sign under their command?

Although he found the idea absurd, Harrison promised: “Alright, I’ll let her know.”

After hanging up the phone, he tentatively called Carrie Thomas, who was currently recording her song at Beiduo Music Academy.

To his surprise, Carrie immediately agreed, paused the recording session, and booked a flight back for tomorrow.

“Didn’t you dislike socializing?”

“But the best recording equipment in Oxfordshire, besides those studios partly owned by Eric Mitchell, is in Avril’s studio!”

“Fine… okay.”

She’s quite a pragmatist!
