Chapter 293: Surrounded by the paparazzi

Zheng Xudong heard Andrea say that "Fast and Furious" was priced at $50 million worldwide, and thought to himself, "The $50 million is the price they only want because they have smashed this big IP, if this film is on fire, you will bid 500 million people, and people may not be able to sell it! Now 50 million dollars can be done, it's just like picking it for nothing, don't wait any more now?" said to her on the phone on the spot: "Yes, you must take it, you will bargain from 50 million down, and we will earn as much as you want." ”

"Okay, since you insist on buying it, then I'll go and bargain with them, but don't give them too much hope, these vampires would rather let this IP rot in their hands than reduce the price, so even if the price reduction is not too big!"

After chatting a few more words, Zheng Xudong said to Andrea: "I just wrote two new songs and sent them to your mailbox, you and Scott tell me that I will go to the United States this weekend, and ask him to prepare the personnel for filming the MV." ”

"Okay, I'm sure Scott must be happy to hear your news, he has been complaining to me that you are in Huaxia, and some live performances and fan meetings, book signings, etc. cannot be arranged. He and I have negotiated to hand over your two singles to Warner Records for distribution. Soon there will be a lot of money coming in. Zheng Xudong obviously felt that Andrea would be very excited as long as she talked about money, more excited than him.

In the end, Zheng Xudong declined Andrea's offer to buy a ticket for him, and the two sides hung up the phone...

Zheng Xudong hung up Andrea's phone, thinking that no one would call again, but he didn't expect the phone to ring again.

Sure enough, it was Scott who called.

"Adong, the phone is too difficult to call, and the line is always busy!" complained on the phone.

"President Andrea just called me to go to the United States this weekend, and there are a lot of things that I need to deal with personally. ”

"Great, I also want to tell you about this, we have reached an agreement with Warner Records, they are responsible for the release of your two singles, and Warner asked you to have a book signing to increase popularity and sales, I didn't dare to agree, this call is to ask you about it. And just now I saw two new songs that you sent to my email, which are very exciting, and two best-selling singles, I can already predict it. Scott said gushingly on the other end of the phone.

"I happen to have time to go to New York this weekend, you arrange the shooting crew, and strive to finish the filming of these two music videos in two days, by the way, how about finding a female voice to sing the song "ALONE"? ”

"Alas, if you don't say that I really can't open my mouth, after listening to you sing this song, I always feel that something is lacking, but now it is a bit far-fetched to release it with your fame, and there is no problem, of course, my opinion is better to find a female voice with a deep voice to sing. ”

"Just tell me directly if there is something in the future, I can still accept the opinions of others, especially the opinions of professionals like you, Scott, we are a TEAM, do you say yes?" He felt like he had met a good boss.

"Solheim called me just now, you gave me the phone number, she said she wanted to thank me in person, I told her to go to New York on the weekend, if she can come, it means that she has this sincerity, this song should be left to her to sing, I still like her voice, but you don't tell her about my trip to New York. ”

"Okay, I got it. It's up to this girl to grasp this opportunity. Since you're in the U.S., I'll arrange your events, including book signings and fan meetings. ”

"You negotiate with President Andrea, she has a lot of things waiting for me there, you can negotiate the itinerary. I stayed in the U.S. for three to four days at most. Don't arrange a weekend night, I have something else to do. He suddenly remembered that Ivanka's side was scheduled for a weekend night, and this incident must not be forgotten, otherwise he would have suffered the wrath of the domineering president.

Scott said "got it" and hung up the phone.

Finally, there was no call again, Zheng Xudong walked out of the study and returned to the bedroom, and saw Liu Yifei leaning on the head of the bed looking at the company's documents, "It's late, don't rest yet, Yifei, you make me ashamed like this!"

Liu Yifei didn't even look at him, "Go away, you will know how to coax people with sweet words! In the end, I don't need to do it." ”

Zheng Xudong put the document in Liu Yifei's hand on the bedside table, turned off the light, and hugged her petite body, "Sleep, no matter what happens, wait until tomorrow... ”

If this morning's Tencent News let QQ's active netizens know Zheng Xudong, and the noon CCTV news let a group of people who didn't see the Internet know Zheng Xudong, then the evening CCTV news series let almost all Chinese know about this "other people's child." ”

On this night, the downloads of Zheng Xudong's two MV songs exceeded the 40 million mark and are moving towards the 50 million mark. The CEOs of almost all entertainment companies are asking where this person is, and they must recruit this person to their own company, and at any cost!

It's crazy today.,Everyone clicked on a work "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and the vast majority of people looked at it with curiosity, "What kind of work is they said to be amazing!", but when they finished reading the first three chapters, they found that this work was poisonous and couldn't be put down at all. After ten chapters, there is a paid chapter, and everyone has begun to pay for subscriptions, and overnight, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" received a monthly pass that is the sum of the monthly passes received by the four works such as the second, third, fourth, and fifth, and everyone has a comment for this novel - this is a phenomenal novel. All fiction should avoid its edge at this time.

Starting from noon today, the homepage of Sina.com pushed a "huge" message with a big red headline - international superstar Zheng Xudong opened a real-name authentication Weibo in our company, and then the subtitle below reads "Attached is a private photo that has never been made public". The news headline is simply to grab more people's attention, Zheng Xudong can only smile when he sees it!

On this day, there is a legend circulating on the university campus in the capital, "The big star Zheng Xudong will study at the Chinese University outside the capital this year." "Everyone is discussing a question, why did a champion of liberal arts not go to Peking University but went to Beijing University of Foreign Studies, is Peking University incompetent or Beijing University of Foreign Studies used some unsightly and despicable means, there must be something shady, for a while, Zheng Xudong studied at Beijing University of Foreign Studies.

August 1, 2010 is not only our loveliest person - the People's Liberation Army's holiday, but also on this day in Xichang Satellite Launch Center with the "Long March 3A" carrier rocket, successfully sent the fifth Beidou navigation satellite into the space predetermined transfer orbit, this is an inclined geosynchronous orbit satellite, is China's third Beidou navigation system networking satellite launched this year.

Also on this day, the Dutch forces in Afghanistan handed over the defense of Uruzgan province to American and Australian forces. The Netherlands began the official withdrawal of its troops from Afghanistan. The Netherlands became the first country to fully withdraw its troops since the outbreak of the war in Afghanistan.

There were so many major events on this day, but people still remember one person, and that is Zheng Xudong.

On a new day, the sun rose as usual, Zheng Xudong studied all night in his sleep, Xiao Ai didn't know why he was arranged to learn the languages of various ethnic minorities yesterday, starting with Manchu, then Mongolian, Huibu (Uyghur). Is it to let him travel all over the great rivers and mountains of the motherland?

He and Liu Yifei had just finished washing up and wanted to go out for exercise, when they saw Tang Luoyong standing at the door, "Boss, there are many reporters outside the gate." ”

Zheng Xudong saw through the monitor in the monitoring room that sure enough, some men and women were waiting on the street outside the door with "long guns and short cannons", in an orderly manner, no one spoke, and they all stared at the door from time to time, and some people even put a small table and a few small stools on the sidewalk, on which were soy milk, fritters and other breakfasts, and several people sat around the table, staring at the gate of Yan's garden while eating. Most people can abide by public order, but there are still a very small number of paparazzi who climbed the big tree across the road in Yan's Garden, squatting on the tree and looking in. Fortunately, there is a row of tall camphor trees planted on the inside of the Yan family garden against the wall, and it is not easy to peek inside. Moreover, the villa is very far away from the wall, and the camera cannot take pictures of the inside of the villa through the dense foliage.

Zheng Xudong said angrily when he saw this: "I'm the second Olympics! Why did so many paparazzi suddenly appear at the door overnight!

Liu Yifei said with a smile: "Forget it, slowly you will get used to it, celebrities are in the spotlight of life, so that people can take a microscope and carefully look at the slightest trace of you." I'm used to it, I thought I could be quiet for a few days when I moved here, but I didn't expect that the quiet life had ended early. ”

"Alas! This may be the trouble of becoming famous! Brother Tang, please go to the door and buy some breakfast! Yifei and I can run two laps in the courtyard. Zheng Xudong said helplessly.

"Okay, boss!" Tang Luoyong was just about to leave, and after seeing the monitor, he said to Zheng Xudong: "Boss, look, there are a lot of people at the door again, and they are still holding banners, occupying the road, and walking in the direction of our gate." ”

Zheng Xudong looked at it from the monitor, isn't it? There were no less than 200 people in this group, most of them girls in their twenties, and almost every one or several of them were holding a banner in their hands. They came across the road. Just now, those reporters (paparazzi) also knew to give way to the road for people to go to work, but these girls completely ignored these and stood in the middle of the road, blocking the road of Yuyuan Road, the two-way second-row road in the urban area.

At this time, Liu Yifei "giggled" and laughed. "What are you laughing at? I didn't see that our house was blocked!" Zheng Xudong said.

"Look at the words on their banners. Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Zheng Xudong just looked at the crowd, how could he care about looking at the banners, then he listened to Liu Yifei say this and took a closer look at the banners, and after reading it, he was scared of him. . .
