Chapter 17: Internet Celebrities

Early in the morning, Andy, who was asleep, was woken up by the sudden and harsh ringing of his mobile phone, and was very depressed and covered his head with a soft pillow, hoping that the damn mobile phone would stop ringing for a while, so that he could continue to sleep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

However, it seems that the other party is unusually persistent, and there is no intention to stop at all, because the family's phone ringing is specially marked, not that the family is so persistent, only the shameless dead fat man of his agent is left.

There was really no way to be noisy, so he picked up his phone and roared loudly: "Damn! It's only what time it is, and you still don't let people sleep! If there is no reasonable reason, I'll fire you!" ”

"STOP, I'D LIKE TO ASK WHY? WHERE ARE YOU NOW? Did you sing at Santa Monica Beach last night? Damn, I was woken up early in the morning by a phone call from a TV reporter and a newspaper reporter, and you asked me what was going on? Boss, can you tell me before you make a fuss, I'm all stunned by the reporter's question!" Carl didn't care about the threat at all, and asked very depressedly.

Andy slapped his head, realizing that last night's incident was known by the media, and secretly smug in his heart, his trick was really useful, and pretended to be dazed and said: "I sang at Santa Monica Beach last night, is there no problem?

"Oh my God, someone took a DV shot and uploaded it to YouTube, and it was quickly recommended on the front page of YouTube, original songs in 13 languages! Oh my God, when did you get so many languages?" Carl really wanted to cry without tears, when he learned what happened from a reporter's phone, he quickly turned on the computer, found the video and watched it, although the light in the video was very dark, but Andy could still be clearly seen, especially the photographer deliberately gave a close-up of the face, which attracted the attention of many people as soon as it was uploaded, relying on the huge group of netizens, Andy was quickly doxxed.

After a night of fermentation, the TV station and the newspaper got the news, because Andy himself could not be contacted, he had to call Carl, his original agent.

"What are you kidding, how can I be so multilingual, I majored in French in college, and I added English and Chinese, only these three languages, that song was originally an English song I wrote, and I thought it was fun to put together a new version in 13 languages, nothing remarkable, except for three languages, the rest were found and learned temporarily. Okay, if a reporter asks, you just say okay, hang up, I'll sleep for a while!"

Andy, of course, won't lie that he knows that language, in addition to English and Chinese are his mother tongues, he took French in college, because he took a leave of absence, he only studied for two years, and he couldn't say that he was proficient, but because of the crossing welfare, there is no problem with reading and writing now. As for the other languages, hello thank you or something, or a little bit, but that is not considered to have mastered all the languages, generous recognition is a wise choice.

In the past, I always looked at the report on what institutions raised or lowered the credit rating of what enterprises, and felt that foreigners were idle and painful, and there was no concept for Chinese people to raise or reduce whether to raise or decrease, however, Americans recognize this, and rely on integrity and credit to restrain and measure, once they lose credit, this basically marks the end.

"Damn!" Carl heard the busy tone on the other end of the phone, and jumped to his feet angrily, he really couldn't figure out what Andy was going to do now, there was a lot of mess, he was busy in the dark, and now there was such a thing, could Andy want to make a record。。。。。? He's not going to have that in mind, is he? Mmmm, it looks like I need to take this seriously.

Carl touched his chin and thought of this possibility, young people who have not yet dreamed, especially such a genius "child", looked through the phone book, dialed out, "Hey, Jack, there is an answer to the matter of that video, here's the thing。。。。。。 ”

Andy, who continued to sleep in, didn't seem to realize that the whole thing began to ferment under the impetus of someone with a heart.

It seems that the impact is far beyond Andy's imagination, he originally thought that this song with a strong K-POP feature would not be liked by Americans, of course, arrogant Americans don't know what K-POP is, but in the video, there is a guitar solo, then Chinese, and finally a large collection of original songs in 13 languages, with a slightly hoarse voice and a handsome face, it makes Americans a little numb when they are put together.

The United States is the world's largest music consumer, and when you can't wait to sing a song with a single lyric, many people will naturally like "IFYOU" with well-written lyrics.

These are still secondary, the key is that Andy was doxxed by netizens, a genius writer, a teenager became famous, although it has been silent for two years, but the new book has been on the market, sales are hot, I heard that there is an excellent novel about to be published, this is of course the news released by the undisciplined Carl United Scholastic Publishing House, there is such a good opportunity to promote, fools do not take advantage of it. Everyone loves talented people, especially a handsome guy.

Didn't Bieber, who was popular all over the world in his previous life, come out of YouTube like this?

The YouTube video quickly reached tens of millions of views, it was reported on TV, Andy's photos appeared in various newspapers, and the paparazzi began to put Andy on the target list. He's really popular now, many TV shows have sent him invitations, and Carl, as a former agent, is almost annoyed by phone calls.

Andy frowned, tugging at the curtains in his hand, watching seven or eight paparazzi outside the villa are using high-powered cameras against his house, a few days ago because he didn't pay attention, he was photographed by the paparazzi swimming in the pool with only a pair of swimming trunks, and the next day he appeared on the cover of gossip magazines.

After the photo was published, even Li Wanqing called to ridicule her son's good figure, which made him cry and laugh.

"Damn, these bitches raised paparazzi!" Andy sat down on the sofa in the living room in a huff, he regretted it a little, no one would have thought that things would develop to this point, he is now completely famous and has become a new Internet celebrity.

Pick up the phone and call Carl, "Is there a way to make the paparazzi disappear?" asked Andy angrily.

"Haha, how is that possible, the paparazzi won't let you go!" Carl's gloating tone was really annoying.

"Damn, if it weren't for you and the publishing house taking the opportunity to promote, I wouldn't be so embarrassed!" Andy hated it, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"COMEON, MEN, WHO HAS TO LIVE WITH MONEY? "DARK FAIRY TALES" HAS ALREADY SOLD MORE THAN 1 MILLION, CONGRATULATIONS, ANDY, YOU'RE A BEST-SELLING AUTHOR NOW, AND YOU'RE ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST, WHAT A HAPPY THING. Carl lay comfortably in the boss's chair, with his feet on the desk, a cigar in his mouth, and reported the publicity effect to Andy, blocking his complaints, as if he was worried that Andy would get into some trouble again, and then comforted: " Hi Andy, you're a celebrity now, and you have more than 1 million followers on your blog, so you have to adapt to this life, not fight it, those paparazzi want you to do things, they don't care about how talented you are, what kind of novels you write, they just want your flesh photos, drunk and embarrassed, with those women, what kind of bars and nightclubs you go into. ”

Andy listened silently, he used to be a melon-eating audience, and he also liked all kinds of gossip about celebrities, and Bieber, who died later, was hacked by the paparazzi, he didn't want to live like that.

"Is there a way to let the heat go down, I can't go out now, even Liu Yan has to follow the paparazzi when she goes out to buy vegetables, I'm really going crazy!"

"I'm sorry, there's no way. Not only will the heat not go down, but tomorrow it will be even hotter! I just received the news that NBC is going to blow the news that you are the founder of "America's Got Talent". When Carl heard the NBC notice, he was also speechless, everyone is a smart person, no one will let go of the opportunity for hype, ratings are money, everyone loves American knives, although there was a verbal agreement when signing at that time, ignoring the identity of Andy's founder, but now Andy is on fire like this, it is a bit too much to stop the BBC publicity, after all, Andy also has advertising shares, and Carl has nothing to say.

"Damn! how could they do this, they promised me not to reveal the details of the contract, fuck, a bunch of bichi!" Andy was really angry, his face became very ugly, and he cursed angrily.

"Don't get excited, they won't reveal the details, let alone the specific amount of the copyright purchase, they just want to take advantage of your current popularity to promote, and they also want you to appear on the stage of the talent show as a guest performer。。。。。 ”

"Dream! Andy interrupted Carl's words viciously, to be honest, Andy is a little panicked now, because things are completely unexpected by him, everything originally planned is under control, this unexpected sense of powerlessness makes him lose his mind, and the welfare and superiority brought by the crossing have kept him in the perspective of God, seeing that everyone will have a sense of superiority, even if he was a dick in his previous life, and predicting the future has given him a strong and blind self-confidence.

originally wanted to make a fortune in a muffled voice at the beginning, hide behind the scenes to lay out his career, and come to the fore when everything came out, but now, because he is pretending to be showy, he is completely exposed to the spotlight, and there are paparazzi to follow him at any time, and this frustration hits him hard.

His anger is not all because he is famous, his privacy is exposed, if he doesn't want to be famous, why would he do so many things, he is more angry with himself, because he overestimates his ability to control the development of things, which hurts him very much, and it is also the deep reason for his anger.
