American Fortune Life
Chapter 17: Internet celebrity
In the morning, sleeping Andy was awakened by the abruptly ringing mobile phone ringing. He was very depressed and covered his head with a soft pillow, hoping that the **** cell phone would stop after a while, so that he could continue to sleep.
However, it seems that the other party's abnormal attachment does not mean to stop at all, because the family members' ringtones are specially marked. It is not the family members who are so attached. Only their shameless fat man is left.
There is really no way to be noisy, he picked up the phone and yelled, "Damn! It's only a few times now, and you still don't let people sleep! If there is no reasonable reason, I will fire you! Thanks special."
"STOP! I also want to ask why? Where are you now? Did you sing a song at Santa Monica Beach last night? Damn, I was woken up by a TV reporter and a newspaper reporter on the phone early in the morning, you Also asked me what was going on? Boss, can you tell me before you get things done, I have been asked by reporters! "Carl asked without much attention to the threat.
Andy patted his head, realizing that what was known to the media last night was secretly complacent, and his trick was really useful, pretending to say blankly: "I sang at Santa Monica Beach last night Is this okay? What does this have to do with television? "
"Oh my god, someone took a DV and uploaded it to YouTube, and was quickly recommended on the YouTube homepage. Original songs in 13 languages! Gosh, when do you have so many languages?" Carl really wanted to cry No tears. When he knew what was happening from a reporter's phone, he quickly turned on the computer and found the video to look at it. Although the light in the video was very dim, he could still clearly see Andy, especially the photographer. A close-up of the face was intentionally given. As soon as it was uploaded, it attracted the attention of many people. Relying on a large group of Internet users, Andy was quickly fleshed out.
After one night of fermentation, both the TV station and the newspaper got the news, because Andy himself could not be contacted, so he could only call Karl to find his original agent.
"Just a joke, how could I have so many languages, my college elective is French, plus English and Chinese, only these three languages, that song was originally an English song I wrote, thinking It ’s fun to piece together a new version in 13 languages, nothing great, except for the three languages, the rest are temporarily found out to learn now. Well, if a reporter asks, you can just say so, hang up, I I have to sleep! "
Of course, Andy would not lie that he can speak such a language. In addition to English and Chinese as mother tongues, French is an elective in the university. Because he was suspended from school, he only studied for two years. There is nothing wrong with writing. As for the other languages, thank you. It ’s still a little bit more, but that does n’t mean you have mastered all the languages, and generous recognition is the wise choice.
American society sees the issue of integrity more important than anything. Without integrity, it is almost impossible to do so in the United States. In the past, I always watched reports about which organizations have improved or decreased what corporate credit rating. It is not a concept for Huaxia people who do not reduce it. However, Americans recognize this and rely on integrity and credit to restrict and measure it. Once the credit is lost, this basically marks the end.
"Damn!" Carl heard the busy tone coming from the phone and jumped angrily. He really couldn't figure out what Andy was going to do. There were a lot of messy things. Now comes another such thing, does Andy come up with a record? and many more. . . . . Isn't he really planning this? Hmm, it seems I need to take this matter seriously.
Carl touched his chin and thought of this possibility. Young people who have not dreamed, especially such a genius "child", looked at the phone book and dialed out, "Hi Jack, there is an answer to that video thing. It's like this ...
Andy, who continued to sleep, didn't seem to realize that the whole thing began to continue to be fermented by the people.
It seems that the impact is far beyond Andy's imagination. He originally thought that this song with strong K-POP characteristics would not be liked by Americans. Of course, the arrogant Americans did not know K-POP. What a ghost, but in the video, guitar solo first, then Chinese, and finally a large collection of original songs in 13 languages, with a husky voice, a handsome face, and the concentration of Americans makes the Americans feel a bit numb.
The United States is the country that consumes the most music in the world. If you want to sing a song with a single lyrics, many people will like "IFYOU" with good lyrics.
These are all secondary. The key is that Andy has been fleshed out by netizens. Genius writers and teenagers have become famous. Although they have been silent for two years, new books have been listed and their sales are hot. I heard that there is another excellent novel about to be published. This is of course. It was the news released by the unscrupulous Karl Union School Music Publishing House. With such a good opportunity to publicize, the fool would not use it. Everyone likes talented people, especially a handsome handsome guy.
Did n’t Bieber, who was popular all over the world in the past, come out of YouTube like this.
YouTube videos quickly reached tens of millions of views, and TV reports also reported that Andy's photos appeared in various newspapers. Paparazzi began to include Andy on the target list. He is really hot now, many TV shows have invited him, and Karl, as a former agent, is almost annoying by phone.
Andy frowned, dragging the curtains in his hand, watching seven or eight paparazzi outside the villa facing his house with a high-power camera. The other day, because he didn't notice, he only wore a pair of swimming trunks and was swimming in the pool. Then, on the cover of the gossip magazine the next day, his strong body, perfect muscle lines and the expansive capital outlined by the swimming trunks immediately attracted the rot girls, and the licking screen party quickly captured his blog. There are many messages to give him monkeys, and the sales of the magazine are even more hot, which has even more enthusiasm for paparazzi.
After the photo appeared, even Li Wanqing called to tease his son's body, which made him cried and laughed.
"Damn it, paupers raised by these bitches!" Andy sat angrily on the sofa in the living room, and he regretted it a bit. No one could have imagined that this would happen. He is now completely famous and new. Jin Net Red.
Picking up the phone and calling Carl, "Is there a way to make the paparazzi disappear?" Andy asked angrily.
"Haha, how could that be, paparazzi won't let you go!" Carl's gloating tone was really annoying.
"Damn, I wouldn't be so embarrassed if it wasn't for you and the publishing house to take the opportunity to publicize!" Andy hated his teeth itchingly, but there was no way to take this dead fat man again.
"COMEON, MEN, who can't live with money?" Dark Fairy "has exceeded 1 million sales. Congratulations, Andy, you are now a best-selling author and also entered the New York Times bestseller list. What a delightful thing. "Carl was lying comfortably on the boss's chair, his feet on the desk, holding his cigar in his mouth, reporting the propaganda effect to Andy, and blocking his complaining, it seemed to be worried Andy got in trouble again, then comforted: "Hey, Andy, you are now a celebrity, and your blog has more than 1 million fans, so you have to adapt to this life, not to fight against those paparazzi I want you to do things, they don't care about how talented you are, what kind of novels you write, they just want your photos of the meat, the style of the drink, and the kind of bars and clubs with those women. "
Andy listened silently. Before, he was also a mellow audience, and he also liked all kinds of gossip of celebrities. Later, Bieber, who died in the later years, was hacked by paparazzi. Do not want to live like that.
"Is there any way to keep the heat down, I can't go out now, even Liu Yan has to follow the paparazzi when I go out to buy food, I am really crazy!"
"Sorry, there is no way. Not only the heat will not drop, but it will be even more hot tomorrow! I have just received news that NBC will blast out that you are the founder of" American Talent Show "." Carl heard NBC When it was notified, it was also speechless. Everyone was a smart person. No one would miss the chance of speculation. The ratings are money. Everyone loves them. Although there was an oral agreement when signing the contract, the founder of Andy Ignored his identity, but now that Andy is in such a state, it will be a bit unreasonable to stop the BBC promotion. After all, Andy also has an advertising share, and Karl has nothing to say.
"Damn! How can they do this, they promised me not to disclose the details of the contract, alas, a group of bitches!" Andy was really angry, his face became very ugly, and angrily cursed.
"Don't be excited, they will not disclose the details, nor the specific amount of the copyright purchase. They just want to borrow your current enthusiasm for publicity. They also hope that you can appear on the stage of the talent show as a guest of performance. ...
"Dream! A group of bitches." Andy interrupted Carl's words fiercely, and to be honest, Andy was a little panicked now, because everything was beyond his expectation, everything that was originally planned was under control This unexpected sense of powerlessness made him lose his mind. The welfare and superiority brought by crossing kept him in the perspective of God. Seeing that everyone would have a superior sense of superiority, even if his past life was a silk thread, predicting the future would make him powerful. And blind self-confidence.
Originally I wanted to make a lot of money in the beginning stage, hide behind the scenes and carry out the business layout, and wait for everything to come to the front when it was out, but now, because of the pretense, I was completely exposed to the magnesium light, and paparazzi followed at any time. This frustration hurt him a lot.
His anger is not all because of being famous and privacy being exposed. If he doesn't want to be famous, why should he do so many things, he is more angry with himself because he overestimates his ability to master the development of things This made him very hurt, and it was also the underlying reason for his anger.
