Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Summer Blown by the Wind
The summer of 2005 has come to an end with a lot of things that will still be impressive even years later. For example www.biquge.info the vigorous star-making movement that began in Huxiang Province and gradually spread its influence to the whole country, completely opened the prelude to the era of national entertainment in China, and changed the pattern of the Chinese entertainment industry in the future. Whether you admit it or not, this summer, "Super Girl" is indeed the hottest topic. Li Yuchun, Zhou Bichang, Zhang Liangying and other names quickly entered the public's field of vision with the launch of this phenomenal talent show, and were well-known and hotly discussed.
But for Li Mingcheng, who is on the other side of the world at the moment, everything that happened in his motherland is too far away, and as the return date approaches, he is now busy discussing with the company the work arrangements after returning to China.
Big Machine Records is not a charitable organization, Scott spent a lot of money to sign Li Mingcheng not to make him an idler, now Taylor's personal debut production progress has passed halfway, and the release date of the first single has also been set, and now the company's focus has gradually shifted to Li Mingcheng's solo album production.
However, Li Mingcheng's visa is about to expire, his days to stay in the United States are numbered, and high school is about to start, so it is impossible for Li Mingcheng to give up his studies, which is a condition that has been negotiated before signing the contract.
Therefore, after discussion, the two sides reached a consensus, and the work arrangements for Li Mingcheng after returning to China are as follows: First, after returning to China, Li Mingcheng needs to continue to release cover videos on Youtube to consolidate his popularity, expand his influence, and build momentum for the release of the new album. Second, in addition to the four songs that have been confirmed to be included in the new album, such as "I'mYours", "JustTheWayYouAre", "Baby", and "WhatMakesYouBeautiful", Li Mingcheng will also hand over at least 10 songs for the company to choose by 2006, and the number of songs in the album is estimated to be 12-14. Third, during the 2005 National Day and 2006 winter vacations, Li Mingcheng will go to the United States again to participate in the recording of songs, and the album is initially scheduled to be officially released in the summer of 2006.
Time flies.
When the negotiations with the company were completed, the day of Li Mingcheng's return to China also came as scheduled.
August 23, 2005, Nashville International Airport.
Seeing his aunt's family who came to see him off leaving the airport hall, Li Mingcheng stood in front of the ticket gate, still without any intention of entering.
He looked at the crowded gates of the airport hall, expecting to see the familiar figure of a girl in the crowd in the next second, just as they had met for the first time, and saw each other from thousands of pedestrians.
Yesterday he left her a message on MSN, informing her that he was going back to China today, but he didn't hear from her until he left today.
Airport radio began to broadcast a broadcast of Li Mingcheng's flight, reminding passengers of the check-in deadline.
Li Mingcheng sighed and withdrew his gaze.
It looks like she's not coming.
"Are you waiting for someone?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Li Mingcheng turned his head in surprise and looked at the girl who came out of nowhere, "You...... What are you doing here? ”
"What's that look on your face? It seems that you don't want me to come, so I'll go. Taylor said and walked away.
"Hey, don't go, I was wrong!" Li Mingcheng hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Taylor stopped, turned his head and glared at Li Mingcheng. "Let it go!"
"Don't let it go!"
"Will you let it go?"
"I won't let it go! Let it go and you're gone. ”
“…… Okay, I'm not leaving, you can let it go, right? Taylor said, turning to look at him.
"Then, I won't let it go!" Li Mingcheng looked up at her slightly, "We haven't seen each other for so many days, you tell the truth, do you hate me?" ”
"I ...... Where do you see that I hate you? ”
"Then why are you avoiding me all the time?"
"How can I hide from you?"
"You still said that you didn't hide from me, you met in the company, and you ignored me when I greeted you. I went to the studio to find you, and you didn't talk to me. You didn't reply to messages you on MSN, you didn't hide from me? Li Mingcheng was a little angry when he said that.
He really couldn't figure out what Taylor thought, if she didn't like herself, then why she kissed herself that day, but to say that she liked herself, then why she didn't even talk to herself since that day.
"Are you angry?" Taylor laughed "poof".
“……”
"Leo, do you know that you look cute when you're angry?" The girl squinted.
“…… Don't change the subject! Li Mingcheng was annoyed and angry.
"Okay, then you go on, what do you want to say?" Taylor put away his smile and looked at Li Mingcheng with wide eyes.
"I ......," Li Mingcheng was speechless. He found that as long as he faced her, his brain was very easy to short-circuit, and he couldn't even speak.
"What are you? Say it. Taylor raised an eyebrow.
"I ...... I won't say anything, I'll go. Li Mingcheng said and let go of her hand and walked to the ticket gate.
"Stop!" Just a few steps away, Taylor's coquettish shout rang out behind him.
Then Li Mingcheng stood very spinelessly.
"What?"
Taylor slowly walked over with his hands on his chest and walked around to the front of Li Mingcheng, looking at him condescendingly.
Li Mingcheng was stared at by her foxy eyes, and suddenly felt a little weak, and subconsciously wanted to avoid her gaze.
"What do you want to do?" Li Mingcheng was a little flustered.
"What do I want to do? I want to ask you! Taylor suddenly exploded, "You're embarrassed to lose your temper at me?!" I'm avoiding you? Won't you take the initiative to ask me out? Tell me for yourself, for so long, when did you take the initiative? It's me every time! Can you figure it out? You're a boy, I'm a girl, alas, I'm also shy, and I also have self-esteem, okay?! ”
She didn't say that it was nothing, but as soon as she said it, Li Mingcheng suddenly felt that she seemed to be really a little excessive.
So Li Mingcheng stretched out his hand to pull her, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
"Who wants to hear you say this!" Taylor shook off Li Mingcheng's hand vigorously.
Li Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and instantly reacted to what she wanted to hear most at this moment.
Holding her hand again, Li Mingcheng looked at those agate-like eyes and said solemnly: "Be my girlfriend!" ”
Taylor finally stopped struggling and let Li Mingcheng hold her hand.
"You speak, if you don't speak, I'll take you by default?"
"Five, four, three, two, one!"
"Okay, it's been five seconds, have you thought about it? If you don't deny it, I'll say yes! ”
"You want to be beautiful!" Taylor gave him a blank look, "Why didn't I find you so shameless before?!" ”
"What, you want to go back?" Li Mingcheng grinned, "I'll tell you, it's late!" ”
Taylor stopped talking, and secretly pulled the hand that was held by Li Mingcheng hard, and after a few struggles, he found that this time Li Mingcheng grabbed it very tightly and couldn't pull it out, so he stared at him with wide eyes.
However, Li Mingcheng was unmoved, but looked at her in a grand manner, and his fiery gaze seemed to melt her.
Taylor quickly turned red and quickly turned his head to avoid Li Mingcheng's gaze.
Li Mingcheng looked at her sideways face, the permed wavy curls hung down from her ears and temples, revealing a sun-like texture under the lights of the airport hall, and her gradually dyed neck could be seen through the cracks in the hair, and the lines were beautiful like a noble swan.
This is the first time Li Mingcheng has seen her show such a little woman posture, and there is a fatal allure that can be picked by others.
So I had the urge to become a werewolf on a moonlit night.
"Look at what, look!" Taylor said fiercely to Li Mingcheng who was getting closer and closer.
"Look at you." Li Mingcheng said with a smile.
Then Taylor's face turned even redder.
She turned her head again and whispered, "Okay, I'm afraid of you." Get in there, or you won't be able to catch the plane. ”
It's hard, it's not soft.
Li Mingcheng secretly smiled, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said "um" softly, deciding to let her go first this time. If she continues to flirt, it will not be good to give herself an anti-guest according to her temperament.
Letting go of her hand, Li Mingcheng nodded and said, "Well, then I'll go." ”
"Wait." She had only taken a few steps and shouted behind her again.
"What's wrong again?" Li Mingcheng turned around again.
Taylor took a small step forward in his puzzled gaze, leaned in gently, his lips imprinted on his forehead, and then the red lips moved to his ear, exhaling like an orchid, "Don't think too much, this is not a promise to you, now is the inspection period, next time we meet, see how you perform!" ”
After speaking, she quickly straightened up, took a big step back, and waved her hand at him gently, simply and neatly: "Remember to call me when you get there." ”
Li Mingcheng consciously touched the place where her forehead was "sneak attacked" by her, and he had the illusion of being molested, but he didn't expect to be counterattacked by this girl in the end.
Still, big sister. Can you say hello before you move your mouth next time? It's easy for you to have a heart attack, don't you understand?
"You wait, the next time we meet, I'll be back!" Li Mingcheng touched his forehead and swore authentically.
Taylor was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
…………
The plane began to accelerate on the runway, and Li Mingcheng looked at the airport building that was gradually moving away in his sight through the small square window, as if looking at the city he was about to leave.
For the thousands of citizens who have been living here for two months, Li Mingcheng is just a passerby, and perhaps only a dozen or so employees who work in the big machine will remember this Chinese-American teenager and imagine what kind of turmoil he will stir up in the world's most developed country when he returns to the United States next time.
When he came, the sun was blazing in Yuanzhou, and when he left, Nashville was gloomy.
This flight connects the pearl of the crisp autumn air and the ancient country that stands in the East.
As the skyliner with its blue fuselage climbed into the sky, a drizzle began to fall in the gloomy Nashville sky.
