Chapter 68 Second in the World

On January 20, Bush Jr. officially announced his inauguration. For many people, this is an unacceptable fact, but for others, this is the expected result. (_ 彩 & 虹 & 文 & 学) M

"So, are you ready to make a final blow to them?" In Claude's office, Adrian asked his dead party with a light tone, although he arrived in Los Angeles yesterday, but he is watching now Didn't get up too much because of the jet lag because of lingering with Park Jaka on the plane?

Although it is an Indian girl, after all, living in the United States for a long time, it is relatively open, but there is still some shyness in this opening, and it is very tempting because the palpitations are briefly opened, so it is quite tempting. In addition, Adrian has accumulated a lot in London, especially to influence Kayla and deliberately control himself, so it is quite crazy to roll up the sheets. At first, he also planned how to get the three of them to go to bed one after the other. Just thinking about how to make Park Jaka climb to a higher peak, anyway, they are all on their planes, and they are afraid of escaping their palms?

In short, his spirit is very good, so he came directly to Claude to inquire about the relevant situation. In fact, the inauguration of Bush Jr. had nothing to do with him. Claude was in charge from beginning to end. The reason why he hurried back I still want to know the specific progress, we must know that it is a loss for one day.

"Don't worry so much, dear Ed. Bush Jr. has just taken office, and he still needs to spend time familiarizing himself with the White House and adjusting his staff. If nothing goes wrong, no later than mid-month, before the Oscar nomination list is announced, we will Can complete the acquisition, "Claude smiled and comforted him." The big picture is set, don't worry about their little moves. "

"At & adband's financial statements for the last quarter were quite good. If we delay further, we will have to spend more. Although this is expected, it will make people uncomfortable after all." Adrian spread his hands.

Claude looked at him for a moment in surprise, then laughed: "You know, Ed, you're more and more like the chairman of the board of a group."

"Why, didn't I care about the interests of the group before?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.

"Of course not, but not like it is now ..." Crowe made a few gestures, and didn't say any more with a smile.

"Well, I didn't really care about it at first. There was a deviation but it was basically expected. Until I watched this year's TV and movie related plans," Adrian stood up and looked at Crowe with a smile. Germany, "This year, the media will win a blowout development. We can take this opportunity to fully demonstrate the strength of other groups. The acquisition of at & adband is only the first step. After May, it will be the second step, and the end of the year will be the third. Steps, we will use facts to prove that the media is well-deserved the largest media group in the United States and the world! "

"It's an exciting prediction. In that case, I have to work harder, and then-wait to see these come true one by one." Claude put his hands on the table and said in a leisurely tone.

In fact, this is not a prediction. Except for the step at the end of the year, which has yet to be discussed, the May step has already begun to take shape. Claude will not fail to notice, so just wait for that time to come.

After learning from Claude about at & adband, Adrian immediately focused on another issue that came back, Avril's new single.

"Frankly, Niuniu, what hate do you have with this piano?" Adrien asked after sighing in the instrument room of Universal Records. "You grit your teeth and look anxious." it."

"If this piano is made of cake, I must have eaten it already. If you made it of cake, I must have eaten you already!" Ai Weier, sitting in front of the piano, huffed her arms and said arrogantly. .

"So, if you can finish the song very beautifully, I will make a cake about the size of this piano and a cake about the size of my whole person, so you can eat enough." Adrian smiled. Said.

Avril rolled her eyes, lowered the piano cover and turned around: "Why not use a guitar accompaniment? Why not use my best instrument and use a piano?"

"Why, what kind of instrument can be used? Universal's most promising young singer can't even handle the piano?" Adrian asked jokingly.

"Leed!" Avril glanced at him fiercely, and bit the pronunciation of "e" and "d" very heavily, but her face flashed a hint of crimson.

Adrian could not help but rolled his eyes and waved his hand: "Okay, no kidding, indeed, it is easy to write this song as a guitar version, but you have already sung this song before, you Even participated in the arrangement, Wei Niu, you like this song very much, right? Then, tell me, is it better to accompany the piano or guitar?

Ai Weier opened her mouth several times without saying a word, and finally sighed melancholy, then thought of something and looked at him: "Can't you find someone else to play? For example ... you? Your piano also It ’s good to play, lead. The last time you sang this song, you played me and it worked very well. Eric thinks so too. ”

She blinked with hope and seemed to really hope so, but Adrian reached out and pressed her head: "Do you think your fans like to watch you sing in front of the camera, or do you like to watch it? People play and you sing silly beside you? Especially after ""? "

"But I can play with the guitar and piano." The girl was still a little bit impatient.

"Well, Wei Niu, instead of thinking about changing instruments here, it's better to take time to practice more to make yourself more proficient, but this song is not the only thing you will play on the piano in the future." , Reached out and squeezed on her face. As usual, I was knocked out by Ai Weier's slap, but as usual, the girl's look did not change at all, and she was obviously used to it.

"That's it. If you don't work hard, the time for the new album will be delayed. If it is released after September, then Grammy next year will not want to participate." Adrian Haha smiled and turned away. Up the instrument room.

Avril froze for a long while on the stool, and finally became helpless. She opened the piano cover and practiced again.

"Les", this is Adrian's new single for Avril. There is no doubt that the song is very suitable for Avril's current image, and she also likes it, plus this song was very popular in previous lives. She can make a good preparation for her music. The only problem to be solved is that the song is played on the piano.

Although Avril Lavigne also has a lot of instruments, the best thing is the guitar and the piano can play, but to play to the level of "les", it is not enough to do less practice. Let the girl who is accustomed to playing guitar change to another instrument, which is definitely more uncomfortable than killing her. However, the role of the piano in "les", the unique resonance of pure sound quality is other instruments Irreplaceable.

Adrian has heard of the guitar version in the past, and frankly, it is not as good as the piano version, so in order to achieve the perfect effect of this song, Avril can only be sacrificed. As for the proposal to play the piano and guitar together, it is worse than playing the guitar alone. Since the piano is mainly used, then it should be sung by those who play the piano, but the ones who play the guitar are more open. This contrast effect Will leave a bad impression, it is better to let people play and sing alone.

I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts, Wei Niu. Adrian said in his heart. Where is Avril's advantage? Young, energetic, and passionate, even the decadent smoky makeup can not block her upward momentum, coupled with the image of talented girls who can also write and compose songs, so there will be so many teenagers like her, can you?

She can maintain this image until the age of 25, guitar, light rock, and explosive girl, but after 25? Singers always have to adjust themselves to cater or lead the market. Adrian does not like Ai Weier's actions on the latter, not to mention that the record will gradually shrink in the future, so he can only work on the former, so he chose " "les" as Avril's second single, I hope this foreshadowing will play some role in the future.

It should be. Adrian sighed in his heart and then moved on to something else. After the launch of "v, Avril's image began to approach that image in his memory, with long hair, smoked eyes, short-sleeved black t-shirts, jeans, canvas shoes, explosive explosiveness when singing and so on. But in some respects, there has been no progress. Although the relationship is very close, Avril will be willing to say anything to Adrian. He also likes chatting with him and doing some small games. He occasionally teases her face. , The girl always opens quickly but is not angry, but it is always impossible to go a little further.

I don't know why, maybe it is the question of "le"? Adrian was also unclear. Such doubts had only been encountered by a few women, such as Kate, Charlize, Sarah, Blanchett, etc., and they had almost disappeared in the past two years.

If each is like a pet, then you don't need to consume so much energy, but then again, some women will lose their attractive charm if they lose their personality. Adrian thought so wildly that he was pulled back to reality by Britney's voice.

"Master!" Britney, who was sitting in his arms, grumbled, looking a little dissatisfied because of his distraction.

"Sorry, Boob, there have been a lot of recent events, so I can't help thinking of other things." Adrian coaxed and kissed her, and the girl quickly softened.

"We were talking about the concert just now, right?" Stroking Britney's wet lips, he asked with a smile.

"Yes," after a bite of his finger, Britney licked the corner of her mouth playfully and teasingly, "I hope you can participate in my concert in New Orleans next month."

"This year's world tour?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, starting in Louisiana, I have to travel the whole world!" The girl nodded excitedly, and then quickly added: "I don't need you to come here publicly and high-profile, I just want to see you at the concert, the host."

Having said that, she made a pitiful appearance. What has been asked for so long, as long as this appearance is made, Adrian will allow it.

Sure enough, after thinking for a few seconds, he agreed: "Well, since it is the request of my little pet, there is no reason not to agree."

"Thank you, my master. I'm so happy." Britney immediately jumped up and cheered, holding Adrian and kissing him on the cheek. In front of him, she was always easy to meet.

Adrian shook his head with a smile, shook his head, and separated with her for a while, and then said another thing: "Since talking about the world tour, then I should tell you something, about you later s arrangement."

He paused and stared at the girl for a moment. There was no look in her eyes but waiting, a look of "I listen to you all".

"After the world tour, I will arrange for you to go to college for further studies, Stanford, LA, or University of Southern California, it is still your choice." Adrian continued.

Unexpectedly, Britney, obedient to him, showed an unwilling look: "Why should I go to college for further studies? Should I give up my current career?"

"Of course not, my little pet." Adrian lifted her chin with a smile, and Britney's response was reasonable, and any popular singer would not do and work in the midst of the day. Irrelevant matters, not to mention that Little Pets has completely pinned their feelings on Adrian, and the singer is more obsessed with the feeling of being surrounded by flowers and applause than ordinary singers.

"You have to know, boob, teenagers like and worship idols are not fussy, as long as they have an appetite for them to resonate with them, but their parents and family are very picky. They want their children to like and worship idols. The quality is high enough. For example, the image must be healthy, there must not be too much negative news, and it must not be too exposed and coquettish. This is why I oppose the determination of a **** line in the third album. It is not a change, but a change If you go slowly, it will be too easy to lose some fans. If no new fans are added, your popularity will decline. And the slow transition gives them a process of adaptation, and they always grow up When you show your **** side completely, they will still be looking for you. So, do you understand? "Adrian asked very seriously.

Britney looked at him dumbfounded, shaking her head first, but nodding again.

"I understand a part, although a little confused, but I do understand a part!" She explained quickly.

"Well, besides that, they want their children's favorite idols to have a higher education," Adrian continued. "Say it, Boob, you know that among stars like Hollywood, there are How many have a college degree? Less than 5 percent! So if you go to university, first of all, this can give the public an impression. When you are popular, you still have to remember to enrich yourself, which can make your image become Better; Secondly, you can give your young fans a buffer time to grow up until they or their parents can accept that you become more sexy; Finally, you can take the time to find ways to improve yourself, such as how scholars speak better , Or learn how to write words and composes-remember what I said? You have a certain talent, as a singer, how can you not try to write words and compose yourself? "

He gazed at her, and his fingers continued to swipe across her smooth face: "And there is only one problem to be solved. How to keep the current popularity while you go to college to study, it is difficult for others. It ’s a piece of cake for me. It ’s not a matter of letting you go to study. Some necessary programs and endorsement activities are still to be attended. Some necessary concerts and public welfare activities are still to be held. They are produced twice a year. First exquisite single, from time to time in the media and so on. Of course, it is certainly impossible to keep everyone's popularity, but there is absolutely no problem in maintaining the current status, do you believe me? "

As before, Britney glanced at him for a while, and then asked a question that had nothing to do with the above: "Which one do you prefer, my master? Now I still ... have studied in college I?"

Adrian laughed and held her face in front of her eyes: "It doesn't matter, as long as you stay with me obediently, as long as you are still my little pet, I like you. I planned all this just for the sake of To make you better, Boob, you should be better. This is my reward. "

Britney's mouth turned up immediately, and she seemed to like the word "reward". She nodded: "Then go to college to study ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Pause, she suddenly pursed again Let's: "But then, it will be even more difficult for me to win an award at Grammy. "

Adrian could not help laughing, she thought it was vague, but would he not know what she was thinking?

"Don't worry, Boob, your album sales are going to exceed 40 million. Grammy will have to give an award this year anyway," he laughed, "maybe he can't catch up with Christine, But at least the distance has been reduced. "

So far, because the East Asian market has been developed, Britney's third album has sold nearly 40 million in the world. It has surpassed Madonna to become the second highest female singer in the world. From the current situation, See, more than the first Xenia? Down is also very likely. Such a hot sale is so popular that Grammy has to give at least a consolation prize even if it is prejudiced.

"Is that so?" Britney asked in disappointment, turning aside her blush.

"Well, Boob, this world isn't perfect. You can't get everything, that's it." Adrian said, holding her face.
