Chapter 31: The Life You Want
Arriving in New York in the early morning of March 7, Daisy came to pick up the airport, and the two broke through the many barriers of reporters before returning to her apartment. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xu Canhao slept on the sofa bed until noon, and after waking up, he was pulled by Daisy to reluctantly return to the company to discuss the plan for the second album, and also to be on some interview shows, advertising invitations and other itineraries. However, Xu Canhao has been thinking a lot about it for a while, and his mood is also very complicated, so he didn't immediately agree to release the second series. He still decided to seize the time to study more, he didn't want to rely on plagiarism forever to make songs, and he didn't dare to fill in the lyrics for many songs, and his level was limited, for fear that the difference in the lyrics would be too big and cause people to question. Xu Canhao also wants to learn the knowledge of movies very much, as a senior fan in his last life, what he wants to do most is to write and act by himself, he is adapting some of the previous classic scripts, just wait for the time to come, he will get involved in the film and television industry. Daisy had no choice but to follow his own wishes, who called him the boss, not his artist. Xu Canhao saw that she was in a bad mood, so he gave her an idea, asked her to find a good singer Miaozi, and gave the names and approximate addresses of the two girls. Rihanna, Caribbean... After flipping through the map, I remembered that it was an island country called Barbados; Avril Lavigne, Ontario, Canada. Xu Canhao persuaded Daisy to give her a long vacation and go to these two girls by the way, since the album was released, Daisy has been busy with this and that. Xu Canhao hopes that she can relax and think carefully about the company's development direction and plan, the company's operation cannot only rely on him, an outsider, non-local star support, but also solve the problem of production channels. didn't tell her how she knew about these two girls, just made Daisy believe in herself, if she really couldn't find it, she would spend some money on the draft, Xu Canhao suggested her. In the end, I didn't forget to tease her, a twenty-nine-year-old girl, and she didn't find someone to marry her, and Daisy, who was thinking, could only give him two big eyes weakly.
On March 9, Xu Canhao held his first press conference, and it was also the first time he was personally exposed to the lens of mass media. He answered some questions about albums, talked about his profile, explained his future development direction, and explained that he would focus on his studies for a while in the future, but he would not give up on releasing albums. Felix, who has always been mysterious, finally made a real appearance, and recently, his album has passed the 10 million mark (8.5 million copies have been officially stopped, restricted from being released in the United States, protecting the rights and interests of local stars, that is, after the end of the cooperation with BMG), becoming the youngest diamond record winner in history, although there is no official certification (it costs a lot of money to certify), but this is an indisputable fact. Xu Canhao's songs account for four of the top ten on the billboard in the United States, and three of them take turns to reach the top, namely "Yourais", "I'myours", and "Breathless". And Canada and the United Kingdom and other European countries have a majority on the list, but unfortunately they didn't get one place, and they can only blame "Myheartwillgoon" for being too rebellious. Such a gifted child with outstanding achievements has naturally received the unanimous attention of all the media, not only the American media, but also the media of many other countries, and the hotel banquet hall of more than 300 square meters has been packed. Xu Canhao reluctantly wore sunglasses the whole time, otherwise his eyes would definitely be blind. After the meeting, she was interviewed exclusively by Miss Jenny Oh, a reporter from Chosun Ilbo in the United States, and promised to make a special video at the school.
Stayed in New York for another three days, went to meet JZ, and was blackmailed for a lavish dinner. Then, Simpson, whose home has now been transformed into a company, has seven or eight website staff and supporting equipment, and purchased three large servers, which alone cost two-thirds of the original $1 million. The video-sharing site, called "eyes", has only just been put together, and the staff is nervously designing the pages and writing the rules. Simpson introduced a group of people to Xu Canhao, and Xu Canhao didn't remember them all, but he was his own staff anyway, so he let everyone rest for a day and invited everyone to a big meal. During the banquet, Xu Canhao shared many ideas on the design of the website and the future trend of the Internet, and put forward many requirements and suggestions to them. At first, these people just regarded him as a star and a boss, and between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, coupled with funny jokes, everyone slowly changed their minds. A friend and a creative genius with a unique vision, this is what they see as Albert, the boss of their eyes company.
After finishing his work in New York, Xu Canhao finally returned to the relaxed and beautiful campus. The first thing I did was to visit Professor Flett, only to be told that the professor had gone to Germany to give an academic lecture and would not be back until next month. Xu Canhao could only turn back to the dormitory and was tortured by a group of people. He himself doesn't know how many signatures he has signed, how many photos of disobedience he took by this group of perverts, and he was forced to participate in the back-to-school dance by everyone at night, in fact, just to help this group of bad friends pick up girls. At the dance, there is no doubt that he has become a shining superstar, and he is pushed to the stage to sing, and he is infected by the atmosphere, and the more he sings, the more energetic he sings. As a result, the whole ball turned into a concert on the Yale campus, and even the surrounding schools and many local residents heard about it, which forced the school to intervene and send people to maintain order, and finally even the police were dispatched. This is the craziest time Xu Canhao came to school, and he also performed a new song "It'smyLife" excitedly, and showed off a guitar with Yang Chen, which exploded the atmosphere of the scene in one fell swoop, and even some young policemen jumped up and down with the crowd.
After this night, Xu Canhao was really famous in the school, not only attracting tens of thousands of people from several colleges in the entire school to gather, but also causing a large traffic jam in the town, and trampling incidents continued, but fortunately there were no serious injuries. The dean found Xu Canhao and reprimanded him lightly, asked for a signed CD and let him go, which made Xu Canhao confused. The most exaggerated thing is that from that day on, male and female fans in front of Xu Canhao's small building will come to pay their respects to him every day, or ask for autographs, hugs or something. The mailbox was filled with letters, love letters, threatening letters, begging for sex (both men and women), and the lawn outside was henceforth livelier than the college's central garden, where many students chose to come during their breaks. Xu Canhao will not take a stand most of the time as long as he is free, holding a guitar with Yang Chen, and his twin brothers singing and dancing with him, going there to entertain the public. This is what he wants to enjoy life, in addition to studying and attending classes every day, he spends more time making friends and sharing music, and sometimes he is invited to the drama school to make a cameo. New Haven's local TV station did an interview with him at school, and Xu Canhao had an opera flash mob with his friends from the drama school under the camera, which was the first time that this act was brought to the world. At that time, the song "Youraise" and "It'smyLife" were mixed, two songs with very different styles, which made this group of young people playing opera chorus interpret a different flavor, and the whole performance deeply shocked the surrounding onlookers. The news footage of that issue was rented and broadcast by many TV stations across the United States, which made Xu Canhao out of the limelight again.
The song "It'smyLife" Xu Canhao was one of his favorite songs before, and he never lost the original voice in his head, and he always thought that he was not as strong as Bonjovi. So, he looked up their company address online and gave the song to the veteran band for free. He didn't know how surprised he was when the song got into the hands of Jon (the lead singer of the band). Jon is working on a new song with the band members, and the tune is surprisingly similar when the two scores are compared, which makes them very curious about this talented teenager they have never met, and they have a strong interest in him, or a sense of confidant. Xu Canhao's contact information was found through the company, and both sides expressed their good feelings for each other (so ambiguous, the wording), and a conversation lasted for an hour and a half, so that several people who had never met became friends in music, and made an appointment to have the opportunity to be on the same stage together next time, and exchanged a lot of musical information between them, so that the members of Bonjovi really realized that age is not a problem, and innate talent is God's greatest gift.
New York is still bustling in July, and this is a good time to see fashionable beauties. Compared to the high heat outside, the temperature of the four levels of the eye studio is maintained at about 22 degrees Celsius all year round. Xu Canhao spent almost every day of his two-month vacation here, and only occasionally went back to the company to show up, or went to JZ's company to have fun. JZ asked him to sing, but Xu Canhao resigned. Explain that he doesn't know much about his rap music, and that he's been busy lately, but the kid was compromised by a three-minute neck lock from JZ and promised to write a good song. Xu Canhao stayed in the studio to eat and live with the staff, and worked together for nearly a month, and finally completed the construction of the video station and began official operation. Because of his involvement, EYES has almost become a mature product, taking out the membership system, search engines, advertising pages, private communities of registrants, etc., and also opening up the video category. Moreover, he also hopes to rent a library from film companies in the future, buy some film rights, and put some classic movies on the website. He also told them to strive to make a chat room for some Internet celebrities in the future to directly perform in front of the public online and do live broadcasts. However, there is no set time, this is not something that can be done overnight, and in the future, we will have to face a series of problems such as the increase of servers, the establishment of a formal company, the increase of staff, developers, etc., and the soft object of the website needs to be continuously improved over time.
At the beginning of September, Xu Canhao returned to school, and the first thing he did was to borrow the photography equipment of the Film and Television Academy, find Yang Chen to accompany him, and without the assistance of other professional recording equipment, he recorded several lyrical songs of his album that were widely circulated and durable, and also covered many songs, such as: Britney, "babyonemoretime", which is becoming popular all over the world this year; Celine Dion's MyheartWillgoon; Mike's "Beatit", Jazz Version, "Bad" and many more. He also borrowed equipment from the college music room to perform a beatbox and posted the videos on Eyes (a username he registered under his real name). After three or four days, there are still very few login users, and the click rate is not more than 100, except for his own video, there are only three or two kittens. Xu Canhao hurriedly telegraphed to Simpson to quickly recruit computer network talents, build the portal as soon as possible, and pay attention to the security of the website and do a good job of fire prevention and theft. I also want to get in touch with Google and ask for cooperation. Xu Canhao didn't say much, but he tired the people who ran errands below, and he handed over his album income during this period, song copyright income, etc., to Simpson. This former uncle of the little staff, for a while, was eager to learn the body technique, just the above is not enough, he also has to rent a space for office, interview and assess himself, and began to complain to Xu Canhao about this and that, Xu Canhao felt a big headache every time he received a call from him.
Xu Canhao stayed in the dormitory for two days and had a headache for these things, the things in his head were entangled with the matter of writing songs for JZ, he was easily angry when he was irritable, and he just wanted to find something to vent at this moment. He went downstairs to get some water to drink, and he and Deven were the only ones left in the dormitory, and Devon's rotten house was always lying on that public computer and messing around. Xu Canhao looked at Carlsberg, who was full of refrigerators, sighed helplessly, took out two bottles, walked behind Divin, and handed him one. Seeing that he was quickly operating the mouse and keyboard without looking back, and was editing some movie clips, Xu Canhao stared at the monitor curiously, and suddenly saw the movie clip of "Prison in the Sky" as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly snatched Divin's mouse and paused the playback file.
"Hey, what's wrong with you, boy?!" Di Wen looked at Xu Canhao with a serious face with some anger.
"Airplanes... Jail... Knock knock, knock knock, what's it? Xu Canhao frowned and looked at the screen trying to recall the music fragments in his mind, Di Wen saw that he was not good at talking again, knowing that he was inspired, and the people in the house were used to it.
"Ahh 50cent! Eminem! The title of the song... Song title..."Xu Canhao squatted down and stood up again with his head in his hands, looking extremely distressed, still struggling with the fragments in his memories.
“whorunit… who…! youdon’tknow! Haha..."Xu Canhao jumped up excitedly and hugged Diwen, kissed him twice on the face, and ran back to the room.
Devin shrugged his shoulders and said to himself, "No wonder my mother said that people who engage in art are crazy, am I?" Am I not? whocare?! yeah!!” As he spoke, he recited rap.
Xu Canhao locked himself in his room and diligently drew tadpoles on the manuscript paper, even writing which passage was played with what instrument. The tune was done quickly, and it was the lyrics that gave him a headache. JZ is now starting to transform, and the previous lyrics of this song are inevitably conflicting, but this song with such a strong rhythm is difficult to express the strength of the song without the violence of the gang. After struggling for a while, I finally chose to write half of it first, and then discuss it with JZ later. As soon as the matter of the song was settled, he felt as if the whole world was quiet, and his head was better. He thought of how to promote the video website, Campus Network! Yes, he doesn't need to build a dating community now, but he can help him promote it through the club, spend a little money to advertise among young people, or do it himself. You can also go outside and organize a few more events, flash mobs, yes, this is it! The more Xu Canhao thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately started to act. He found friends from the opera house, and people from the dance club, and then he found some enthusiasts who played musical instruments, and after organizing them together and telling them what they thought, most of them were willing to participate in these kinds of activities. Xu Canhao returned to the dormitory to think about the performance material, picked a lot of songs, and finally finalized Mike's classic tracks, "thriller" and "beatit", the dance music of both songs is very toxic and representative, and it is easy to incite people. After getting this done, Xu Canhao found the twins, these two are avid fans of Mike, and Mike's dance is also excellent. asked the two of them to choreograph and guide them, and the two excitedly agreed, pushing Xu Canhao to run to the college auditorium.
Because of the large number of people, it took a group of people two weeks to rehearse the song "Thriller", and if most of them didn't have a background in dancing, it would have taken even longer. On this weekend, Xu Canhao appeared in the shopping plaza in New Haven wearing sunglasses, greeting the pre-arranged actors around him from time to time, walking around aimlessly, seeing that the crowd was gathering more and more, and quietly signaling that everyone could start. The actors of the academy immediately swarmed around Xu Canhao, and the unknown crowd around them quickly approached here one by one, asking each other who was coming. Over time, the square has become full of students, residents, and curious tourists. Suddenly, the circle surrounded by the actors spread out in a panic, revealing Xu Canhao, who had become a zombie inside, only to see him open his arms and look at the sky and let out a silent roar, which frightened the surrounding people in shock. The huge amplifier in the square, which had been negotiated with the mall in advance, sounded the prelude to "Thriller", and Xu Canhao began to stagger forward, shaking his shoulders with the rhythm, and at this time, many young talents reflected, and broke out screams and whistles. When the song sounded, people walked to the field one after another to dance with Xu Canhao, and slowly arranged all the actors on the stage, but there were still sporadic personnel involved, until the number reached nearly two hundred. At the end of the song, the music came to an abrupt end, the actors dispersed as if nothing had happened, and Xu Canhao also quietly sneaked out of the crowd under the cover of several people, and the whole performance was as if it had never happened, only applause and shouts remained, constantly rippling over the square.
