Chapter 17: Dunk and dunk
Previously, Yang Liu's "General Breaking Array" and "Water Tune Song Head". "Sea of Clouds" has been launched, and after the company's vigorous publicity, the market has responded well, and the single sales exceeded 300,000 in the first week. Some experts commented that these two songs are the closest to the original classical style of songs, and the so-called Chinese style is fundamentally different, the soundtrack is completely using Chinese national instruments, and the Hokkien dialect is sung closer to the language style of the Tang and Song dynasties, making the singing sound full of ancient rhyme. It can be imagined that in the palatial palace, the emperor is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the throne, and the hundreds of officials below are crowned and broadly belted, divided into two columns, and they are divided into two columns while drinking, celebrating the great defeat of the Turkic iron cavalry by the front-line soldiers. The celebration was enthusiastic, everyone drank and drank heartily, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded, and some palace maids came up and danced in an exotic style. One of the beautiful fairies, dressed in a neon feather coat with long sleeves fluttering, sang "The General's Breaking Formation" to the accompaniment.
The gentle and loud singing voice stood out among the high-minded speeches of the ministers, and attracted the attention of everyone, including His Majesty the Emperor. The heroism and tragedy in the song resonated with everyone, and even a general snatched the ceremonial sword of the palace guard, and the followers sang and danced.
At the end of the song, the general dropped his long sword and saluted to His Majesty the Emperor: "Holy Lord, please forgive Weichen for the sin of wandering the corpse." This song reminded Weichen of following His Majesty to the south and the north in the war, and he would win every battle. It is difficult to restrain the pride of the chest, and the only way to sing and dance is to congratulate His Majesty and the front-line soldiers! ”
An entertainment magazine disclosed that the director of the upcoming "Legend of the Heroes of the Late Sui Dynasty" said that he hoped to use "The General's Breaking Array" as the theme song of the movie.
A second-tier singer even imitated Yang Liu's "Water Tune Song Head Cloud Sea" and reinterpreted Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head Bright Moon", although he can't sing Yang Liu's heroism, but for ordinary people, it is undoubtedly successful, and the sales of singles are up to whom.
Now the entertainment company is making a lot of money, just waiting for Yang Liu's works to continue and come back from vacation to record a new album.
After a week of study and life, Yang Liu gradually adapted to the rhythm of the school, and her oral and listening skills have improved significantly, and there is basically no communication barrier. Like China, American English is full of colloquialisms and slang that you can't learn in textbooks. If you don't understand these colloquialisms and slang, it's hard to integrate into the local society. Yang Liu has done a good job in this regard, who let her have an intelligence bonus. Sometimes although the other party's words are not very comprehensible, Yang Liu can feel the other party's qi, can grasp the key points in the words, and can deal with it well.
As for the progress of the course, as a top student, Yang Liu has no pressure to deal with, and almost all the homework teacher's evaluations are A, which makes his classmates feel very stressed. They couldn't imagine how Yang Liu's Chinese classmates could withstand such pressure, or if they were all academic tyrants.
A week later, Hathaway got a custom-made robe from Yang Liu, couldn't wait to put it on, and then walked around the school to show off, attracting countless onlookers. Hathaway's head shape was taken care of by Yang Liu herself, and it was a double bun like Lu Ya'er, which was strongly requested by Hathaway. Because Hathaway's hair was slightly curled, it took a long time for Willow to dress up.
"Hey, Hathaway, you're so beautiful today, a lot like Chun-Li in Street Fighter, are you cosplaying?" Hathaway's best friend, Lilith, asked. Of course, this Lilith is Smith's daughter.
"Okay, okay, everyone says I'm like Chun-Li. Can you please mention Chun-Li again? Don't you think my clothes look good? It's worth a thousand dollars! Hathaway replied distressed and happy.
"This dress is really beautiful, let me guess, this must be Liu's outstanding work. Dear Liu, you should have sued me sooner that you were able to get these clothes. I think my mom will be crazy with joy when she hears about it. She was bothered by a party among friends because her dress was outdated. Lilith complained.
"I'm sorry, I should have thought of that. But I have some pictures here that you can take back and show to Mrs. Smith, she has a lot of options. Lilith, do you prefer to use email or Bluetooth? Yang Liu replied with a smile. This time, she made a lot of preparations, let Lu Ya'er order various types of clothes in the fairy city, and asked her senior sisters as models. Those tsundere female cultivators didn't know that they had been secretly photographed before they knew it.
Then, in an instant, these pictures of willow spread through the school at a geometric speed, and there is a tendency to spread to the surrounding area.
"Hathaway, Lilith, you have to help me think of a way, these clothes are all handmade, each one takes a lot of energy from the master tailors, and the output will definitely not satisfy so many people. Five pieces, I only sell five pieces a week at most, and they can't do any more. Yang Liu said in a slightly complaining tone.
Hathaway, the daughter of a businessman, quickly gave a reasonable solution: "It's simple, you can leave the agency of the clothing to us, and we will set up a small company to sell your clothing, so that you don't have to think about these troublesome things anymore." ”
As the daughter of a lawyer, Lilith gave a professional addition from a legal point of view: "My dear, if I were you, I would first have to register a brand. Then there is also the issue of tariffs. I noticed that your garment was mailed from China and should not have been taxed at customs. Of course, it's your gift to Hathaway. However, future clothing will have to pay customs duties as goods. ”
"Okay, I'll fix these problems. Perhaps, it would have been better for me to find some skilled overseas Chinese tailors in the United States to make these garments. Yang Liu replied with a frown. Speaking of which, the greatest value of these clothes is reflected in the design concept, after all, they are original ancient products. As for processing and manufacturing, there is no problem at all in the United States.
"If you can't find a suitable processing plant for a while, I think my father can help." Hathaway is worthy of being the daughter of a businessman, and her ability to grasp business opportunities is no worse than that of his father.
"Okay, but then I'll be your father's designer, so what's the price?" Yang Liu asked.
"No, no, no, dear, my father is just your processor, he only does OEM and receives a fair pay. Without your genius design, my father's zuò garments would not have been sold. Hathaway hurriedly explained.
Lilith volunteered: "I can guarantee this, there will be no loopholes in the law." I can even do a lot of things as your consultant, such as registering brands, such as providing professional advice for you to sign contracts. I can do even more if you need to. ”
"Well, Lilith, now that you're my advisor, your salary will be twenty dollars a week. But before that, you have to open a stock trading account for me on Wall Street. ”
Things were sorted out in the midst of a few girls' gossip.
Willow usually spends her spare time in the library. She promised to accompany Lu Ya'er to read 10,000 books, and she had to be physically walking. In addition, Yang Liu also played basketball or softball with a few good friends. Whenever willow appears on the sports field, it will cause a lot of onlookers. Yang Liu is not only physically agile and fast, but also not inferior to other classmates in strength, you must know that some American girls are tall and large, and they are standard ocean horses.
Whenever Yang Liu appeared on the basketball court, many classmates were looking forward to her dunk. The last time I bet that Steve lost his beloved game console, he was always teased by his friends. For the sake of his own face, Steve spared no effort to praise Yang Liu's jumping ability, claiming that Yang Liu could dunk because she would be known for her legendary Chinese light skills.
It's a pity that Yang Liu not only has strong jumping ability, but also shoots accurately, she can gain an advantage in the women's game without dunking at all, so no one has ever seen Yang Liu's heroic dunk. This annoyed Steve so much that he kept howling from the sidelines: "Willow, dunk, willow, dunk!" ”
At the end of the shout, all the students shouted in unison with Steve. Yang Liu originally wanted to keep a low profile, but was aroused by this uniform voice. At this time, when his teammates passed the ball, Yang Liu took the ball and shook it past one of the opposing players, rushed into the penalty area and jumped, flew a long distance to dunk the basketball into the basket, and made a crisp sound. Unlike other athletes, Yang Liu did not hang himself on the basket when he dunked, but threw the ball into the basket when he was still a few centimeters away from the basket, and he was not afraid that the basketball would not be thrown into it. This is known as the Agile Aura bonus.
Generally speaking, students in elite schools in the United States are much more reserved than students in ordinary schools, and the small grades are like little adults. But Yang Liu's dunk was so shocking that the onlookers screamed involuntarily, so the little Zhengtai led by Tiff also exclaimed, cheering one after another.
Since learning that Yang Liu is a Chinese kung fu master, Angela has automatically become Yang Liu's brainless fan. Contrary to her usual reserved and shy appearance, when Yang Liu put the basketball pants into the basket and landed easily, Angela was the first to scream and rush into the court and give Yang Liu a big hug.
"Great, dear Liu, I knew you were the best. You're so cool that I would be hopelessly in love with you if you were a boy. Angela expressed her adoration incoherently.
"Thank you, Angela." The Willow Award simply expressed gratitude.
As the captain of the basketball team and the leader of the heckling, Steve had to say, "Hey, man, your dunk is really awesome." I mean...... I mean, you can play as our secret weapon next time. Yes, that's it, there's no rule that girls can't compete in men's basketball. Of course I have to ask the coach...... I think the guys at Gold Coast have a look, guys, right? ”
