King of Hollywood

Chapter 68: World II

On 20 January, Bush Jr., officially inaugurated, was an unacceptable fact for some, but an expected result for others.

“So, are you ready to give them one last blow?” In Claude's office, Adrian asks his best friend in a relaxed tone, although he arrived in Los Angeles yesterday, and now he doesn't look too uncomfortable because of jet lag, because he's intertwined with Parka?

An Indian girl, after all, has lived in the United States for a long time, relatively open, but there is still some shyness in the opening, and because of the brief opening of the heart, quite a few of you. Plus Adrian accumulated a lot in London, especially to influence Kayla and deliberately control herself, so rolling up chuáng alone was a little crazy, and at first he planned on how to get the three of them in turn, and then he just figured out how to get Pak Yaka to a higher peak, anyway, they were all on their own plane, afraid to escape to their palms?

Anyway, his spirit is very good now, so he came directly to Claude to inquire about the situation. In fact, Little Bush's inauguration didn't have much to do with him. Claude was responsible from beginning to end. The reason why he came back was mainly to want to know about the concrete progress, you know that delaying the day was a loss.

“Don't worry, dear Ed, little Bush has just taken office, and he needs time to get acquainted with the White House and adjust his hands. If nothing goes wrong, by mid-next month, before the Oscar nomination list is released, we will be able to complete the acquisition,” Claude laughs to comfort him, "the big deal is settled, don't worry about their little move... last quarter's financial statements were pretty good, and if we delay any longer, we will have to spend more money, which is expected, but ultimately uncomfortable.” Adrian stalled.

Claude looked at him a little surprised and laughed: “You know, Ed, you're becoming more and more like the chairman of a group of boards. ”

“What, I didn't do it for the benefit of the group before?” Adrian frowned and asked.

“Of course not, but not like now...” Crowe made a few gestures and smiled and didn't go on.

“Well, at first I didn't really care, there was a deviation, but it was basically still expected, until after I watched this year's TV and movie-related program," Adrian stood up and smiled and watched Claude, "this year AC Media will win a well blown development, and we can take this opportunity to show the rest of the group enough realism to acquire… it's just the first step, after May it will be the second step, and at the end of May it will be the third step, and we will prove with facts that AC Media is the biggest media group in the United States and even the world that deserves it! ”

“What an inspiring prophecy, then I have to work harder, and then - wait to see all this come true.” Claude put his hands crossed on the table and said in a gentle tone.

This is not really a prophecy. Apart from the year-end step to be discussed, that step in May has already begun. Claude, as CEO, will not fail to notice, so just wait until then.

After learning about… from Claude, Adrian then turned his attention to another issue of rushing back, Aveline's new monograph.

“Frankly, Vinny, what hatred do you have with this piano?” In the instrument room of Universal Records, after listening to Adrian sigh, he asks, “You bite your teeth and you look like you can't help but eat it. ”

“If this piano was made of cake, I would have eaten it already, and if you were made of cake, I would have eaten you already!” Ivel, sitting in front of the piano, said with her arms in her arms.

“Well, if you can finish the song very nicely, I'll order a cake about the size of this piano, and a cake about the size of my whole person, so you can have enough.” Adrian said with a smile.

Ivel flipped a white eye and put the cap down and turned around: "Why can't you play with the guitar? Why can't you use my best instrument and always use the piano? ”

“What, the world's most promising little singer can't even handle a piano?” Adrian jokingly asked... Ivel glanced at him very hard and bit the pronunciations "e” and “d" very hard, but his face flashed a little red as soon as he finished speaking.

Adrian couldn't help but turn his eyes and wave, “Okay, no kidding. Sure, it's easy to write this song into a guitar version, but you've sung this song before, and you're even involved in the composition, Vinny. You love this song, right? So, you tell me, is piano accompaniment better or guitar accompaniment better? ”

Ivel opened her mouth a few times and didn't say a word, eventually sighing only depressingly, and then thought of something that looked at him: "Can't you get someone else to play? Like... you? Your piano plays well too... the last time you sang this song was when you played me and it worked great and Eric thought so too. ”

She blinked her eyes and looked like she really wanted it, but Adrian reached out and pressed her head: “Do you think your song MI likes watching you sing on your own in front of the camera, or do you like watching someone else play and you sing silly next to her? Especially after? ”

“But I can play with the guitar and the piano.” The girl is still a little immortal.

“Well, Vinny, instead of switching instruments here, I'd rather spend some time practicing to make myself more proficient. It's just this song, and it's not always played on the piano.” Adrian finally couldn't stand it and pinched her hand on her face. As usual, Ivel smacked her in the face, but as usual, the girl's god sè hasn't changed at all, and she's obviously used to it.

“That's it, if you don't work hard enough, the time for the new album will be postponed, and if it's released after September, Grammy won't be joining next year.” Adrian Haha smiled and turned away from the instrument room.

Ivel was half-hearted on the stool and eventually had a long, helpless exit, opening the piano cover and practicing again... this is Adrian's new single song for Ivel, no doubt the song is perfect for Ivel's current image in terms of words, and she loves it, plus the song was very popular in previous life, just in time to make a good mattress for her music path, the only problem to solve is that the song is played on the piano.

Although Ivier has a number of instruments, she is best at guitars and can play the piano, but to the point where... it is not possible to practice more. It's definitely more painful to let a girl who loves to play with a guitar for another instrument than to kill her. However, the piano plays a role in… The resonance of that characteristic pure sound quality is irreplaceable in other instruments.

Adrian had heard of the guitar version in his previous life, and frankly, it was not as good as the piano version, so in order for this song to work perfectly, Ivier had to be sacrificed. As for the suggestion that the piano and guitar play together, it's worse than playing a single guitar. Since the piano plays mainly, it should be the piano player who sings, but the deviant is the guitar. This contrast effect will leave a bad impression, so it's better to make people play and sing for themselves.

I hope you understand my pain, Vinny. Adrian said so in his heart. Where is Ivel's advantage? Young, energetic, full of ji, even the decadent smoke makeup can't block her upward momentum, plus the image of a talented woman who can compose lyrics, so there will be so many teenagers like her, can it be later?

She can stay that way until she's 25, the guitar, the light rock, the explosive girl, but after she's 25? The singer has to constantly adjust himself to meet or lead the market. Adrian doesn't like what Ivel does on the latter, let alone slowly shrink the record in the future, so he can only work on the former, so he chose… as Ivel's second single, hopefully this pen will play some role in the future.

I suppose so. Adrian sighed in his heart and moved on. After the launch of "v", Ivier's image began to get closer to what he remembered: long hair, eye-smoke, short sleeve black sè t-shirts and cowboy ku, canvas shoes, a burst of excitement when singing, etc. However, in some respects, little progress has been made. Despite the intimacy of the relationship, Ivier will be willing to say anything to Adrian, and he loves to talk to him and play small games. He can occasionally squeeze her face like a jerk. The girl is always quick to open but not angry, but she can't go any further.

Don't know why, maybe it's the “uncle” question? Adrian couldn't figure it out either, and this kind of suspicion was only encountered by a few women like Kate, Charlize, Sarah, Blanchett, and so on, almost none in two years.

If each is like a pet, you don't have to spend so much energy, but then again, some women lose a xing and lose their charm. Adrian thought so wildly until Britney's voice pulled her back into reality.

“Master!” Britney, sitting in his arms, pouted her mouth because he was distracted.

“Sorry, Bob, there's been a lot going on lately, so I can't help but think of something else.” Adrian whispered, then hugged her and kissed wěn, and the girl quickly softened down.

“We were just talking about the concert, right?” Britney's moist mouth chun, he asked with a smile.

“Yes,” Britney snapped his finger, naughty and teasing with her tongue tip, “I hope you'll attend my concert next month in New Orleans. ”

“This year's World Tour concert?” Adrian frowned.

“Yes, starting in Louisiana, I'm going all over the world!” The girl nodded excitedly and quickly added: “I don't need you to come with a high profile, I just want to sing you, master. ”

Having said that, she made a pathetic appearance of Baba, and all she ever wanted was to make this appearance, Adrian would allow it.

He did say yes after a few seconds of reflection: "Well, since it's my pet's request, there's no reason not to. ”

“Thank you, my lord, I'm so happy.” Britney jumped up in cheer, hugging Adrian and kissing his cheek, and in front of him she was always easy to satisfy.

Adrian shook her head with a smile and kissed her for a moment before she split up and said another thing: “Now that we've talked about the World Tour concert, there's something I should also tell you about your future arrangements. ”

He paused and looked at the teenage girl for a moment, and there was no other god in her eyes but to wait, a “I listen to you” look.

“After the World Tour, I'm going to arrange for you to go to college, Stanford, UCLA, or South Carolina, and it's still up to you.” Adrian continued.

Unexpectedly, Britney, who obeyed him, made a reluctant god, sè: "Why should I go to college? Am I going to give up my current career? ”

“Of course not, my little pet.” Adrian smiled and lifted her chin, and reactions like Britney's were justified. No red singer would do anything unrelated to his career when he was in the middle of the day, not to mention the fact that the little pet had placed his emotions entirely on Adrian, more in love with the feeling of being surrounded by flowers and applause than the average singer.

“You know, Boob, teenagers like and worship idols are impeccable, as long as they empathize with their appetite, but their parents and family are impeccable, and they prefer that their children like and worship idols of sufficiently high quality. For example, the image needs to be healthy, there can't be too much negative news, there can't be too much abusive lu and cheating - that's why I'm opposed to defining a xing route in the third album. It's not that you don't need to change, but if you do, you need to change slowly, too quickly, you will easily lose some of the song mi, and if no new song mi is added, your popularity will decline. And slowly the transition gives them a process of adaptation, and they always have to grow up, and when you completely lu out the xing side, they still hunt around you, so to speak, you know?” Adrian asked very seriously.

Britney glanced at him, shaking her head first, but nodded again immediately.

“I - I understand part of it, although some of it is mime paste, but I do understand part of it!” She explained hastily.

“Well, in addition to that, they want their kids to have a higher degree in idols,” Adrian continued, “let's just say, Bob, do you know how many of the stars like Hollywood have a college degree? Less than five percent! So if you go to college, first of all, it gives the public the impression that, at the time of red, you still remember to enrich yourself, which can make your image better; secondly, it can give those young songs a cushioning time until they or their parents can accept that you've become more xing; and finally, you can take the time to think of ways to improve yourself, like how scholars can speak better, or learn how to write lyrics —— remember what I said? You have a certain talent, as a singer, how can you not try to write your own lyrics? ”

He stared at her, his fingers constantly scratching over her sliding face: “And there's only one problem to solve, how to keep the popularity of the day while you go to college, which is a difficult thing for others, but it's really a small dish for me. It's not that you don't give a shit about your career, some of the necessary shows and endorsement events are still there, some of the necessary concerts and public service events are still there, two fine singles are produced every year, lu faces in the media from time to time, etc. Sure, you can't keep all the popularity, but it's definitely not going to be a problem to keep the status quo, believe me? ”

As just now, Britney looked at him halfway and asked a question that had nothing to do with what it said: "Which one do you prefer, my lord? Am I still... going to college to study for me? ”

Adrian smiled and held her face in front of herself: "It doesn't matter, as long as you stay close to me, as long as you're still my little pet, I'll like you. I planned this all just to make you more sè, Boob, and you should be more sè, which is my reward to you. ”

Britney's mouth curled up and seemed to like the word "reward," she nodded: “Then go to college. ”

When she paused, she suddenly mumbled again: "But in this way, it would be even more difficult for me to win the award at Grammy. ”

Adrian couldn't help but laugh. She thought it was obscure, but he wouldn't know what she was thinking?

“Don't worry, Bob, your album sales are going to exceed 40 million, and Grammy's going to have to give an award this year anyway," he laughed, “maybe he can't catch up with Christine, but at least he's getting closer. ”

So far, thanks to the development of the East Asian market, Britney's third album has reached an infinite 40 million worldwide sales volume and has surpassed Madonna to become the world's second-largest record singer, surpassing Shania by far? Don is also very likely. So popular, Grammy would have to give at least a consolation prize if she was biased.

“Is that all?” Britney asked in a disappointing tone, blushing not to be torn apart.
