639 [Covenant Battle]
Patti Davis's real name is Patricia Ann Davis Reagan, and Patti Davis is nothing more than her stage name after entering the entertainment industry.
Yes, Patty Davis is not only a rebellious American daughter, but also an entertainer in the entertainment industry. Singing, filming, modeling, she has done everything, after all, her parents used to be actors, and it is normal for her to mix in the entertainment industry.
"Zachary, come back with me, have you thrown in the towel to that person?" Patti Davis deliberately provoked Wang Zijun.
Wang Zijun shrugged his shoulders and said, "After all, today I am the host and guest, if I go in to find trouble again, this is disrespectful to the host." ”
Ron put his hand in the pocket of his jeans, shook his right leg and smiled: "Wang, you are our guest tonight, and you don't have to be responsible to Mr. President inside." ”
"You invited me?" Wang Zijun somewhat understood why President Reagan invited him to accompany him at the state banquet for Prime Minister Yumoto.
Patti Davis said, "We know you're in Los Angeles, but we can't get in touch with you. The White House was going to have a banquet, so I asked Mr. President for help. I didn't expect this old man to send you an invitation at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and this time he did a good job. ”
Wang Zijun can be regarded as having seen the rebellion of the first daughter of the United States, and actually called his father an old man in front of outsiders. But thinking about the fact that this girl wrote a book a few years ago to belittle her parents as useless, it doesn't seem like there's any fuss about calling an old man.
"I wonder what the two of you are looking for me?" Wang Zijun asked.
"It's nothing, I just want to see you." Ron said mysteriously, "We're good friends with Madonna, and we know a lot about you from her. ”
Patti Davis said: "Yes, I didn't expect Madonna, the rock diva who is popular in Europe and the United States, to be popular with you, it's really cool." I want you to help me write a few songs, okay? Also, help me create a look, like Madonna. ”
"You asked Mr. President to invite me here just to ask me to write a few songs for Miss Reagan and make a look?" Wang Zijun asked in surprise, unable to understand the thinking patterns of these two at all.
"Of course it's not just that," Ron said, "your Titanic is amazing, it's amazing, and I want to be a movie magician at ILM." ”
Wang Zijun said: "If you want to be a special effects artist, go directly to Industrial Light & Magic to apply for a job." ”
"I went, but they didn't want me." Ron said regretfully.
Wang Zijun asked, "Then what will you do?" ”
"Well, I can do ballet." Ron Road.
Wang Zijun was sweating wildly, what is this, a guy who can only dance ballet, actually wants to enter Industrial Light and Magic as a special effects artist, and only if he can go in can he have a ghost!
In other words, Ron is not inferior to his sister, his real name is Michael Reagan, and Ron is also his stage name. The guy was expelled from high school, dropped out of Yale University to dance ballet, is now a weekend TV host, and danced in only his underwear in Tom Cruise's famous movie last year.
This pair of sons and daughters of the US president has received no less attention in the United States than Wang Zijun. Of course, everyone is concerned about what their siblings have done out of the ordinary, and the media on the side of the Ming Cook Party are ready to make a fool of President Reagan at any time.
"Uh, Ron, everyone has their own unique talents, and I don't think a movie special effects artist is for you." Wang Zijun said very tactfully.
"But I do want to be a film special effects artist, and that's really cool." Ron said expectantly.
"Mike, give up your damn thoughts. We're talking about asking the king to write me songs! Patti Davis said.
"Hey, Patty, I've also contributed to inviting the king over, how can you cross the river and tear down the bridge." Ron pointed to his sister and said, "If I hadn't threatened to run naked outside the White House that day, how would my father have agreed to invite the king to dinner here?" ”
"No, I came up with the idea of running naked, but you just said it first." Patti Davis argued.
Wang Zijun stood aside and watched the pair of Huobao sisters and brothers quarrel, they were extremely embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say. Lin Qingxia is completely petrified, she never dreamed that the children of the President of the United States would be this virtue, and Audrey Hepburn has been covering her mouth and not speaking.
"Ahem," Wang Zijun coughed, "Can you two stop first, can I say a word?" ”
"Absolutely." The siblings said together.
Wang Zijun said: "Ron, if you are really interested in the field of special effects artists, I can recommend you to go to Industrial Light & Magic for an internship, as for whether you can become one of the special effects artists, it depends on yourself." As for Patty, do you have a contract with a record label now? ”
"Nope." Patti Davis said.
"Okay, let me think about it." Wang Zijun had a headache and said, with Patty Davis's special identity and good appearance, as long as she sings well, there must be many record companies willing to release records for her. But now Patty Davis is not a well-known singer, so there is only one explanation, that is, her singing skills are really not good.
Patti Davis said, "Wang, why don't I join your Freewill Records, I like the name of this company." ”
Wang Zijun rubbed his forehead and said, "Yes, I'll help you write a few songs, and you go to the record company to find the general manager Ron by yourself, and he will help you run it." ”
Wang Zijun pushed the problem to Ron's side, and let the guy with the same name as the president's son have a headache. As for writing songs, it's a trivial matter for Wang Zijun, just take a few songs out and fool around.
Perhaps, with Patty Davis and his own songs, the record company may still make a profit.
Things are finally happy, Wang Zijun is ready to say goodbye and leave, but Patty Davis and Ron want to pester him to go back. Wang Zijun's head was swollen by these two living treasures, and finally had to follow them back to the state banquet hall.
The dinner party had ended ahead of schedule due to Wang Zijun's previous disturbance, and a dance party was being held at this time to adjust the atmosphere.
When Wang Zijun and the others arrived at the dance hall, all the guests inside were sitting solemnly and enjoying the piano solo seriously.
"Oh my God, it's Master Cliburn, and I've invited him today!" Audrey Hepburn looked at the old man who played the piano and exclaimed.
Wang Zijun also recognized who the person who played the piano was, it was Fan Cliburn, one of the two pianists he invited to play and record the music when he was producing the soundtrack for "The Pianist at Sea".
After Van Cliburn finished playing the song "Papapapa......, the dignitaries and dignitaries present applauded warmly, which shows the great influence of this master in the upper circle of the United States.
It wasn't until Van Cliburn's beautiful music came out that people found out that Wang Zijun, who had caused a storm before, had returned, and he appeared with Mr. President's two living children.
President Reagan covered his forehead and whispered to his wife, Nancy, "Honey, I have a sense of foreboding. ”
Mrs. Nancy saw that her children were also anxious, and replied: "They didn't go to the state banquet hall to eat just now, I thought they wouldn't come today, how could they meet that Chinese director." ”
"Go tell them to stop making jokes." Reagan said as he turned his head to Prime Minister Yomoto with a smile on his face and whispered to him.
Nishikawa Yakumo and Yokota Yuki also saw Wang Zijun, but when they saw Nancy walking towards Wang Zijun, they also suppressed their emotions and still sat there to watch the art performance.
"Hey, Mom, we've brought your guests back." Ron said to Mrs. Nancy in an inviting tone.
Mrs. Nancy said to her son, "Michael, for God's sake, don't make trouble tonight, or I'll tell the guard to fork you out." ”
"Of course I'm not going to mess around." Ron said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Nancy, but I'm back again." Wang Zijun said with a little embarrassment.
"It's nothing, you're a guest at tonight's banquet." Mrs. Nancy said, "Take a seat, and when the show is over, the ball will begin." ”
"Thank you." Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia and Audrey Hepburn to salute Mrs. Nancy, and then bypassed the guests and sat in their seats.
It's good to die, and that seat is not far from Nishikawa Yakumo and Yokota Yuki.
After Van Cliburn finished playing the piano piece, he was also left to enjoy the performances of the others. However, the next singer was obviously too far from Clayborn, and many guests even ran to Van Cliburn to ask for autographs when the performers were singing.
High-ranking officials and celebrities also want to chase stars, but they chase the so-called elegant art.
The art show was soon over, the dance music began in the ball hall, and the guests left their seats to chat or invite their favorite dance partners to dance.
"Zachary, let's go dance too." Patty Davis said.
Wang Zijun glanced at the jeans and shirt on her body, and said in surprise: "You are wearing a dance?" ”
"Questions?" Patti Davis said.
"I already have a dance partner." Wang Zijun smiled apologetically, took Lin Qingxia's hand and walked into the dance floor.
Patti Davis rolled his eyes, and Ron sneered beside him: "Sister, your charm is still too bad...... As he said that, Patti Davis glared at his brother fiercely, and Ron was so frightened that he hurriedly said to Audrey Hepburn, "Ms. Hepburn, can I have the honor to dance with you?" ”
"Of course." Audrey Hepburn looked at Ron, who was also wearing jeans, and agreed to the invitation with a smile.
Several of their actions were seen by Nishikawa Yakumo and Yokota Yuki, and Yokota said to Nishikawa Yakumo: "That woman is the daughter of President Reagan, and it seems that she has just been rejected by the Shina people. ”
"Isn't that right?" Nishikawa Yakumo was conceited and handsome, reached out and touched his waxed sideburns, and walked towards Patty Davis with a very charming smile, "Beautiful young lady, who is so ruthless that you stay here alone." ”
"What's the matter?" Patti Davis glanced at Nishikawa Yakumo, she didn't have any ill feelings towards her, but she didn't have a good impression either.
"She can't let her waste beautiful dance music, can I invite you to dance with it? Charming lady. "Nishikawa Yakumo Road.
"I'm sorry, I'm tired." Patti Davis didn't care about Nishikawa Yakumo's face, and directly refused.
"Well, well, you take your time." The smile on Nishikawa Yakumo's face froze, and he left rather depressed, and when he looked at Wang Zijun on the dance floor, his eyes were about to burst into flames. Just now, it was Patty Davis who invited Wang Zijun to dance and was refused, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to hook up with the president's daughter, but the other party directly ignored him.
Am I not as good as a person who is a person? The more Nishikawa Yakumo thought about it, the more angry he became.
"Didn't work out?" Yokota Yuki asked Nishikawa Yakumo who came back.
"The rumor is really good, Mr. President has an idiot daughter." Nishikawa Yakumo whispered.
Yokota Yuki pointed to the other side of the dance floor and said, "Nishikawa, aren't you proficient in piano?" Maybe you should go over there and talk to Master Cliburn about music. ”
Nishikawa Yakumo took a look, but saw that Van Cliburn, an old man, was surrounded by several Americans, talking and laughing.
"Not a bad idea." After Nishikawa Yakumo finished speaking, he walked towards Van Cliburn.
"Hello, Master Fan, I am your admirer Nishikawa Yakumo, from the beautiful Zomoto." Nishikawa Yakumo bowed to Van Clair.
"Hello, friend from Zoben." Van Cliburn Road.
Xichuan Yakumo was put in Chinese mainland in the later generations, and he was an amateur eighth-level piano level, but he was a rare piano master among politicians, and he always regarded himself very highly. At this time, as soon as he seized the opportunity, he consulted with Van Cliburn, but humbly asked a lot of professional questions about pediatrics that were very small in Cliburn's opinion.
Lin Qingxia was held in Wang Zijun's arms and danced together, and from time to time a reporter took a photo of them, she enjoyed this atmosphere very much, and the more she danced, the more smoothly she danced, her dancing skills actually rose a few levels out of thin air.
After dancing to the song, Wang Zijun let go of Lin Qingxia and said, "I'm going to visit Master Cliburn." ”
When recording the soundtrack of "The Pianist at Sea", Wang Zijun had several encounters with Van Cliburn. In addition, it is possible to find someone to record a song in the future, and since we met tonight, I naturally have to go over to say hello, which is a matter of etiquette.
Nishikawa Yakumo was chatting happily with Van Clyburn, he was a lively person, and after a few words at the beginning, he realized that he was not at all expected, and even a few American guests were more proficient in the piano than him. So the guy turned the conversation to the traditional music of the book, chatting about various traditional instruments and music theory, which really attracted Van Cliburn and those American music lovers.
Just as Nishikawa Yakumo was talking about traditional music, he suddenly heard a damn voice say, "Hello Mr. Cliburn, it's nice to meet again." ”
"Oh, it's Mr. Wang, your "Yesterday Reappears" is great." Van Cliburn said.
"Where, where, it's just a fluke." Wang Zijun secretly screamed ashamed, this "Reappearance of Yesterday" is an old song, for some reason no one has sung it yet, and it just happened to be cheaper for him.
"Oh, Mr. Wang can also compose?" Xichuan Yakumo only knows that Wang Zijun is a director and writer, and he really doesn't know that Wang Zijun is a singer, after all, compared to Wang Zijun's movies and cartoons, his reputation as a singer is not very big. As for Clayburn's appreciation of Wang Zijun, it was also considered polite by Nishikawa Yakumo.
"Write two pop songs once in a while." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
"Is it that kind of vulgar pop song, that kind of thing can also be called music?" Nishikawa Yakumo smiled disdainfully, he was born in a political family, and he was trained as an elite since he was a child, so he naturally couldn't look down on the pop songs that Ikai Xiaomin liked.
As soon as this remark came out, it was actually approved by several guests around. Wang Zijun then thought that not everyone is off the line like the Patti sisters and brothers, these people in front of them are all social "elites", and they all like classical music such as piano music, so naturally they don't look down on modern pop music.
Wang Zijun asked rhetorically: "Then may I ask Mr. Nishikawa, what kind of music can be called elegant?" ”
Nishikawa Yakumo said: "Naturally, it is classical music that can stand the influence of time, such as the piano music played by Master Cliburn just now. How many people will remember the pop music that is now sought after by young people in another twenty years? Piano music is different, and the works of such sages as Beethoven and Chopin are still talked about. ”
"Oh, so Mr. Nishikawa is very good at elegant pianos?" Wang Zijun said with a smile.
"I can't say it's good, it's just a hobby." Nishikawa Yakumo said modestly, but his expression was proud.
Wang Zijun said: "Why don't you have Mr. Xichuan play a song for everyone?" ”
Nishikawa Yakumo thought that Wang Zijun didn't have anything to do on the piano, and sincerely wanted him to make a fool of himself, and said: "In front of Master Cliburn, how dare I get an axe." Mr. Wang even praised Master Cliburn just now, so why don't you play it? ”
Wang Zijun excused himself and said: "I don't have much research on piano, two years ago I filmed "The Pianist at Sea", and I still found Master Cliburn to record the soundtrack, and I just performed it myself. ”
When Nishikawa Yakumo heard this, his heart became more determined, and he said: "Why should Mr. Wang be modest, you are a world-famous artist, how can you be too humble?" ”
Wang Zijun said: "Otherwise, let's play a song and let Master Cliburn taste and guide?" This is a great opportunity. ”
"Are you challenging me?" Nishikawa Yakumo heard what Wang Zijun meant.
"You can understand it that way, too." Wang Zijun said, "Why don't we make another bet?" ”
"What kind of bet?" Nishikawa Yakumo asked.
Wang Zijun said with a smile: "The person who loses, when he sees the other party in the future, will automatically retreat." ”
Seeing Wang Zijun's confident smile, Xichuan Yakumo was a little hesitant in his heart, after all, he was a cautious person and would not bet with others easily.
Yokota Yuki walked over and leaned into Nishikawa Yakumo's ear and said, "I once read a report that this Wang Zijun only played the piano once at the premiere of "The Pianist at Sea", and the music critic's evaluation was very average. ”
Nishikawa Yakumo asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Yes, I happened to be in the United States at the time, and the report said that Wang Zijun's piano performance was simply ugly." Yokota Yumichi.
Nishikawa Yakumo suddenly smiled and said to Wang Zijun, "I accept your challenge. ”
"Please." Wang Zijun said.
"Next, I would like to invite Nishikawa Yakumo from the Embassy to bring you a beautiful piano performance......
The gambling contract between Wang Zijun and Nishikawa Yakumo soon spread, President Reagan and Mrs. Nancy both had a headache, and Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone also looked unhappy. Those of them who are hosts, hosts and guests, no matter who wins or loses today, it is not a pleasant thing.
