Chapter 68 The second in the world

On January 20, Bush Jr. officially announced his inauguration. This is an unacceptable fact for a lot of people, but for another group, it is the expected result.

So, are you ready to hit them the last shot?

In Claude's office, Adrian asked his best friend in a relaxed tone. Although he had arrived in Los Angeles yesterday, he didn't seem to feel too uncomfortable due to the jet lag. Is it because he lingered with Priyanka on the plane?

Although he is an Indian girl, after all, he has lived in the United States for a long time and is relatively open. However, this opening is still a little shy and he is very devoted because of his brief opening, so he is quite attractive.

In addition, Adrian accumulated a lot in London, especially to influence Kayla and deliberately controlled himself, so he was quite crazy when he rolled up the bed sheets. At first, he planned how to get the three of them into bed one by one, but later he only thought about how to make Priyaka reach a higher peak. Anyway, they were all on their planes, and they were still afraid of escaping from their palms?

In short, he is in good spirits now, so he came directly to Cloud to ask about the relevant situation. In fact, Bush's employment has nothing to do with him. Cloud was responsible from beginning to end. The reason why he came back was mainly to know the specific progress. You must know that it would be a loss to delay for a day.

Don't be so anxious, dear Ed, Bush Jr. has just taken office, and he still has to take the time to get familiar with the White House and adjust his efforts.If there is no mistake, we will be able to complete the acquisition by mid-next month at the latest, before the Oscar nomination list is announced.

Claude smiled and comforted him, the overall situation was settled, so don't worry about their little moves.

AT&T Bradband's financial statements last quarter were quite good. If we delayed, we would have to spend more money. Although this is expected, it is uncomfortable in the end.

Adrian spread his hands.

Claude looked at him with a little surprise for a moment, then laughed: Do you know, Ed, you are becoming more and more like the chairman of the board of directors of a group.

What, have I not been petty for the interests of the group before?Adrian asked with a raised eyebrow.

Of course not, but not as it is now... Crow made a few gestures and smiled and didn't say anything more.

Well, I didn't care much at the beginning, there were deviations, but basically all were still expected, until after I watched TV and movie-related plans this year.

Adrian stood up and looked at Claude with a smile. AC Media will win a blowout this year. We can take this opportunity to fully demonstrate our strength to other groups. Acquiring AT&T Bradband is only the first step, after May, and the end of the year is the third step. We will prove with facts that AC Media is the well-deserved largest media group in the United States and even the world!

What an exciting prophecy. Since this is the case, I have to work harder, and then wait and see these come true one by one.Claude put his hands crossed on the table and said in a leisurely tone.

This is actually not a prediction. Apart from the step at the end of the year, it is still up to be discussed. That step in May has begun to appear. As CEO, Claude will not have not noticed it, so just wait for that time to come.

After learning about AT&T Bradband from Cloud, Adrian immediately focused on another issue that was rushing back, Avril's new single.

Frankly speaking, Weiniu, what hatred do you have with this piano?

In the instrument room of Universal Records, Adrian sighed and asked after listening to the performance, "You gritted your teeth and looked like you wanted to eat it."

If this piano were made of cake, I would have eaten it long ago, and if you were made of cake, I would have eaten you long ago!

Avril, sitting in front of the piano, said angrily, holding his arms.

Let's do this. If you can finish the song very wonderfully, I will customize a cake about the same size as this piano and a cake about the same size as me, so that you can eat enough.

Adrian said with a smile.

Avril rolled his eyes, put down the cover and turned around: Why can't he use guitar to accompaniment?Why can't I use my best instrument and have to use a piano?

Why? It is said that it can be used for any instrument. Universal Records' most promising young singer can't even deal with the piano?Adrian asked jokingly.

Uncle ED!Avril immediately glared at him fiercely, and bite the pronunciations of E and D very heavily, but after saying that, a hint of blush flashed across his face.

Adrian couldn't help but roll his eyes and waved his hand: OK, no kidding, indeed, it's easy to write this song into a guitar version, but you've already sang this song before, and you even participated in the arrangement, Weiniu, you like this song very much, right?So, tell me, is the piano accompaniment better or the guitar accompaniment better?

Avril opened his mouth several times without saying anything. Finally, he could only sigh depressedly, and then looked at him with something: Can't you find someone else to play?For example...you?Your piano is also good, Ah, Uncle AD. The last time you sang this song, you played and I sang it. The effect is very good, Eric thinks so too.

She blinked her eyes with the hopeful light, as if she really wanted it, but Adrian reached out and pressed her head: Do you think your fans like to watch you play and sing on your own in front of the camera, or do you like to watch others play and you sing foolishly next to you?Especially after "wherever yu will g"?

But I can play with the guitar and the piano.The girl was still a little unwilling to give up.

Well, Wei Niu, instead of trying to change the instrument here, it is better to spend time doing more exercises to make yourself more proficient. It’s just this song, and it’s not always played on the piano in the future.

Adrian couldn't help it in the end and reached out to pinch her face.

As usual, Avril was slapped off when he met him, but as usual, the girl's expression 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 postponed. If it is released after September, then you won't want to participate in the Grammy next year.

Adrian laughed and turned around and left the instrument room.

Avril was stunned on the stool for a while, and finally breathed helplessly, opened the piano lid and started practicing again.

"a thus miles", this is the new single Adrian prepared for Avril. There is no doubt that it is very suitable for Avril's current image in terms of lyrics and music, and she also likes it very much. In addition, this song was very popular in her previous life, which just paved a good foundation for her musical journey. The only problem to be solved is that this song is played on piano.

Although Avril knows a lot of instruments, he is best at guitar and piano, but to the level of "a thus miles", it is not possible to do more practice.

It is definitely more uncomfortable to let a girl who loves to play on a guitar and switch to other instruments than killing her. However, the role played by the piano in "a thus miles" is that the unique pure sound resonance of other instruments cannot be replaced by other instruments.

Adrian had heard of the guitar version in his previous life. Frankly speaking, it was not as good as the piano version, so in order to achieve the perfect effect of this song, Avril could only sacrifice.

As for the proposal to play the piano and guitar together, it is worse than playing the guitar alone. Since it is mainly played by piano, it should be the one who plays the piano, but the one who speaks is playing the guitar. This contrast effect will leave a bad impression on people, and 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.

What are the advantages of Avril?

Young, energetic and passionate. Even the decadent smoky makeup cannot block her upward momentum. In addition, the image of a talented woman who can write lyrics and compose music, so there will be so many teenagers who like her. What can I do later?

She can always maintain this image before she was 25 years old, a girl with guitar, light rock, and explosive power, but what about after she was 25 years old?

Singers always have to constantly adjust themselves and change themselves to cater to or lead the market. Adrian is not optimistic about Avril's actions in the latter, not to mention that the record will slowly shrink in the future, so he can only work on the former. So he chose "a thusand miles" as Avril's second single, hoping that this foreshadowing will play some role in the future.

Probably.

Adrian sighed in his heart and then moved to other aspects.

After the release of the MV of "wherever yu will g", Avril's image began to approach the image he remembered, including long hair, flickering eyes, short-sleeved black T-shirt and jeans, canvas shoes, the explosive power that makes people sing and so on.

But there was no progress in some aspects. Although they were very close to each other, Avril would be willing to tell Adrian if he had anything to say, and he also liked to chat with him and play some small games. He could occasionally pinch her face like teasing. The girl always opened it quickly but was not angry, but she couldn't do it if she wanted to step a little longer.

I don’t know why, maybe it’s the Uncle problem?

Adrian couldn't figure it out, and such doubts were only encountered in several women such as Kate, Charlize, Sarah, Blanchett, and they were almost gone in the past two years.

If everyone is like a pet, it doesn’t take so much energy. But then again, some women lose their personality and lose their attractiveness.

Adrian thought so randomly until he was pulled back to reality by Britney's voice.

Owner!Britney, who was sitting in his arms, pouting, looking a little dissatisfied because of his distraction.

Sorry, Bubu, there are a lot of things happening recently, so I can't help but think of other aspects.Adrian said coaxingly, then hugged her and kissed her, and the girl quickly softened.

We were just talking about the concert, right?He asked with a smile as he stroked Britney's wet lips.

Yes.After taking a nibble of his finger, Britney licked the corner of her mouth with her tongue, hoping you can attend my concert in New Orleans next month.

This year's World Tour?Adrian raised his eyebrows.

Yes, starting from Louisiana, I'm going to travel the whole world!

The girl nodded excitedly and quickly added: You don’t need to come over publicly and in a high-profile manner, I just want to see you at the concert, master.

After saying that, she looked pretty and had always had any requirements for her to do this, Adrian would allow her.

Sure enough, he thought for a few seconds and agreed: Well, since it was my pet’s request, there was no reason not to agree.

Thank you, my master, I am so happy.Britney immediately jumped up cheering, holding Adrian and constantly kissing his cheeks, she was always easy to satisfy in front of him.

Adrian shook his head with a laugh, and then made out with her for a moment before he separated, and then said another thing: Since he talked about the world tour, there is one thing I should tell you about your future arrangements.

He paused and stared at the girl for a moment. There was no other look in her eyes except waiting, and she looked like I listened to you.

After the world tour, I will arrange for you to study in college, Stanford, UCLA or USC, and you can choose.Adrian continued.

Unexpectedly, Britney, who obeyed his words, showed a reluctant look: Why do I want to go to college to study?Do I want to give up my current career?

Of course not, my little pet.

Adrian smiled and raised her chin. Britney's reaction was reasonable. No popular singer would do things that were unrelated to her career when she was at her peak. What's more, the little pet had completely placed his feelings on Adrian, and he was more obsessed with the feeling of being surrounded by flowers and applause than ordinary singers.

You should know that Bubu, teenagers like and worship idols, and they are not picky as long as they resonate with their appetites. However, their parents and families are very picky, and they hope that the idols they like and worship are of high quality.For example, the image should be healthy, there should be no too much negative news, and it should not be too exposed or show off. This is why I oppose the determination to go on the sexy route on the third album.It’s not that there is no need to change, but if you change, you have to take your time. If you change too quickly, you will easily lose some fans. If there are no new fans to add in, your popularity will drop.And the slow transformation gives them a process of adaptation, and they always have to grow up. When you completely reveal your sexy side, they will still pursue you. So, do you understand?

Adrian asked very seriously.

Britney looked at him blankly, shook her head first, but nodded immediately.

I understood part of it, although I was a little confused, but I did understand part of it!She said hurriedly.

Well, in addition to that, they hope that their children like idols have higher education.

Adrian continued, let's put it this way, Boub, do you know how many stars like Hollywood have college degrees?Less than five percent!So if you go to college to study, first of all, this can give the public an impression. When you are popular, you still don’t forget to enrich yourself, which can make your image better; secondly, you can give you a buffering time for growth until they or their parents can accept that you become more sexy; finally, you can take time to find ways to improve yourself, such as how scholars can speak better, or learn how to write lyrics and compositions, do you still remember what I said?You have a certain talent. As a singer, how can you not try to write lyrics and compose music by yourself?

He stared at her, his fingers constantly slashing around her smooth face: There is only one problem to solve. How to maintain your current popularity during the period when you go to college to study is a difficult thing for others, but it is indeed a piece of cake for me.Letting you study further is not ignoring your career at all. You still have to attend some necessary programs and endorsements, and you still have to hold some necessary concerts and charity activities. You can produce two exquisite singles every year, and show your face in the media from time to time, etc.Of course, you will definitely not be able to maintain all your popularity, but there will definitely be no problem in maintaining your current status. Do you believe me?

Like just now, Britney stared at him for a while, and then asked a question that had nothing to do with the above: Which me do you prefer, master?Now I am still...I have studied in college?

Adrian laughed and held her face in front of him: It doesn't matter, as long as you stay by my side obediently, as long as you are still my little pet, I will like you.All this I planned is just to make you better, Bubu, you should be better, this is my reward for you.

Britney's mouth then curled up, as if she liked the word reward, she nodded: Then go to college to study.

After pausing, she suddenly pouted again: But in this way, it would be even more difficult for me to win the Grammy.

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

Don't worry, Bubu, your album sales are about to exceed 40 million. For such results, the Grammy will have to give you an award this year.

He laughed, maybe he couldn't catch up with Christine, but at least he had a short distance.

So far, because the East Asian market has been developed, Britney's third album has sold an unlimited sales of nearly 40 million worldwide, surpassing Madonna to become the second highest-selling female singer in the world. Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that she will surpass the number one Shania Don.

Such a hot sale and so popular, no matter how prejudiced the Grammy is, he must at least give him a consolation prize.

Is that just it?Britney blushed in a disappointed tone, not caring about being exposed.

OK, Bubu, this world is not perfect, you can't get everything, that's it.Adrian said, pinching her face.
