57th Street, New York, USA.

It's home to Alista Records, and it's where Duan Kun lived in New York for nearly a week.

During this time, he constantly tried to get close to Avril, but he was always splashed with coke, threw garbage, and spat on the other party. On one occasion, he was almost beaten violently.

Avril is only 16 years old and 1.55 meters tall, which is definitely a small point among Westerners who are known for their figure. But this little little bit is like a boy, rebellious and eccentric. made Duan Kun suffer enough.

Duan Kun thought of many ways to win the trust of the other party, but due to preconceived notions, Avril still distrusted Duan Kun. But this distrust seems to have been tempered over time and through his persistent efforts.

Duan Kun knew that what he was missing was just a chance, a chance to prove himself.

This opportunity is not long in coming!

Chen Yuan appeared in Time Magazine and became the cover character of the third issue of Time Magazine in October 2000!

When he first got the news from Ye Yun, Duan Kun couldn't believe it. But then he bought a new issue of Time magazine in a newsstand, and the character on the cover was indeed Chen Yuan!

Duan Kun was excited. Time Magazine is not an ordinary newspaper magazine, it is one of the three major real-time weekly magazines in the United States.

Being based in the United States and focusing on the world has always been a major feature of Time Magazine. It is extremely sensitive to the news, and wherever there is good news, there are Time reporters. Its pen touches every corner of the world.

Perhaps, in terms of the timeliness of information, Time magazine cannot compete with TV news and newspapers that provide general information. But its influence comes mainly from the authority of its message. The authority of information is actually a reflection of the comprehensive strength of a newsweek, at least a comprehensive embodiment of its news gathering ability, analysis and processing ability, and post-production ability.

As a mainstream news weekly, Time Magazine has become a brand publication with international influence with its indisputable news performance. And this brand identity is reflected in its ability to have the advantage that others are not easy to imitate, replace and surpass; It is reflected in its style and content; It's also reflected in its workflow.

This is the most convincing piece of evidence!

Duan Kun is going to find Avril with this issue of Time Magazine. But soon, he calmed down. If you go to the other party in such a panic, you will definitely be blocked by Alysta Records. Perhaps, he would never see Avril at all.

After calming down, Duan Kun quickly thought of a way. It didn't take long. He had an idea.

At noon that day, Avril walked out of the record company as usual, and she used to look left and right, but did not find the hated Chinese. This made Avril feel much better. She hummed the latest melody and walked lightly down the road. It wasn't long before she came to a Chinese-style restaurant.

After entering the store, she skillfully picked up the tray and walked to the serving area. Avril pointed to her favorite shredded pork and steamed pork ribs in Beijing sauce, and said to the chef who served the dishes: "I want this, this." And this! ”

Two dishes, two corner cakes, and a lotus leaf porridge, this is Avril's lunch.

She took the tray and went to the cashier to settle the bill, then chose a window seat and sat down. With a casual glance, she found a magazine on the table, the latest issue of Time Magazine. Time magazine features an Oriental on the cover.

The appearance of this oriental immediately reminded Avril of Duan Kun. She picked up the magazine on the table and took a closer look. found that this person looked similar to Duan Kun. In fact, in her eyes, all Orientals look the same.

Avril looked at the character introduction and was suddenly stunned.

Chen Yuan. This wonder boy from China, with a way of thinking ahead, created the marketing legend of "Nightclub". "Nightclub" earned $370 million at the global box office at a production cost of less than $200,000. This is the box office myth created by this wonder boy.

His second work "Crazy Stone" also has super popularity in China. As of October 15, the domestic box office of "Crazy Stone" has surpassed "Nightclub", which is likely to be a new box office myth.

What you don't know is. This boy, who has just turned 18 years old, has already published a novel called "Sealing Demons". This novel is popular throughout the Chinese-speaking world. According to him, the novel has a word count of 26 million words, and it is a huge work. A lot of people find it unbelievable. Think it's an impossible task. How many characters and stories do you have to write in a novel to pile up 26 million words? You don't have to worry, in fact, the novel is steadily being published at a rate of 240,000 words per volume. As of October, "The Sealed Demon" has been published in its 12th volume, and this is just the beginning.

The amazing Chinese kid is not only good at writing novels and making movies, but he also has an extraordinary talent and talent for music. The songs he wrote such as "Father", "Where Has Time Gone", and "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves" are full of oriental charm and give people a unique enjoyment. It is very popular in the East.

He created a company called Qingyun Entertainment, and in just eight months, the company structure is not perfect, but he is already thinking about expanding! This amazing Oriental boy seems to be a little impatient, and he can't wait to show the mysterious China to the world.

Hey, Amazing Chinese Kid!

This is the end of the character introduction. Avril put down the magazine in her hand and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She remembered that when she first met the Chinese named Duan Kun, he had boasted about these things to her. However, at the time, she thought that the other party was lying. Now it seems that I misunderstood the other party.

Avril shook her head, shaking the thought away. What if there is a misunderstanding? She won't ......

Just as she was thinking, her eyes darkened. Duan Kun's figure appeared in front of her.

Avril was slightly surprised, and then she guessed that the other party was playing tricks. She picked up Time magazine on the table again, looked through it carefully, and it didn't look like a fake. And she believes that the Chinese in front of her cannot have the ability to fake.

"How dare you appear in front of me? Believe it or not, I'm putting all these meals on your head? Avril said fiercely.

Duan Kun said calmly: "Avril, I came this time to officially say goodbye to you. Can I sit down and say a few words? ”

Avril didn't squeak, and Duan Kun sat down opposite her.

He confessed, "I know you like this Chinese restaurant, so you put these magazines here." You don't have to look, there's the same magazine on every table here. I'm not doing this to persuade you, but to prove myself! ”

Avril squinted at him. Didn't speak.

"I want to prove that I really am not lying and deceiving people," Duan Kun said, pointing to the magazine on the table, "I am working for this person now, he is the pride of us Chinese!" He has great ambitions to build Qingyun Entertainment into the world's No. 1 entertainment company and brand. This is also his purpose for me to discover new stars in the world! ”

"But what does all this have to do with me?" Avril had a calm expression.

Duan Kun smiled faintly and said, "You are the newcomer I have ever seen, who is most likely to become an international superstar!" That's why I'm bent on signing you into the company. But as far as I've learned lately, you Westerners seem to have always looked down on Orientals. Even an ordinary Western record label, in your eyes. It's better than our company with a lot of potential, right? ”

"You're wrong," Avril said, shaking her head, "I don't know anything about the Oriental world, and the music styles are very different. I'm on your side, and it's impossible to get any better development. will only be restrained. Become a Westerner who sings Oriental music......"

Duan Kun smiled faintly, he took out a page of manuscript paper from the briefcase he carried with him and put it on the dining table.

"This is a gift for you before parting," he said. The song "Complicated" written by our company President Chen Yuan personally for you. I'll report your matter to the company later. He asked me all about you, and then based on your life experience and personality, he wrote this song. Hope you enjoy it. ”

After speaking, Duan Kun had no nostalgia. Turned around and walked out of the restaurant. In fact, how much he hoped that the other party would stop him and agree to go with him. But he also knew that it was unrealistic. This song is perhaps the only thing that can move her. In the end, it can be done. can only resign themselves to fate. Duan Kun has already booked today's ticket and will return to China tonight.

Duan Kun left, but Avril had no intention of eating. In the past, she saw the delicious shredded pork in Kyoto sauce, steamed pork ribs and wheat cakes. It's all boring. She picked up the manuscript paper left by Duan Kun, and saw rows of English lyrics neatly arranged on it, and there were simple scores on the lyrics.

……

Chen Yuan appeared in Time magazine and became the cover character. After this news was transmitted back to China, it caused a large shock. The news of the 350 million overseas box office has just been digested and absorbed by 1.3 billion people, and this news has shaken them again. Chen Yuan's deeds have been widely circulated, he has become a domestic figure, and many celebrities in the entertainment industry have become overshadowed in front of him.

This guy, who is called the "magic Chinese boy" by Westerners, is not complacent because of this. On the contrary, he felt a pressure, a pressure from the state and the nation. Chen Yuan clearly knows that he has become China's representative in the world, and his every word and deed and every move in the future will represent the country and the nation.

He hadn't thought about it before. But after some exchanges with Ye Yun, Li Bing and others, he learned that China's figure in front of the world is still very vague. The people of the world will use him to understand China more accurately.

Appearing on the cover of Time magazine not only represents a great increase in his fame, but also a great increase in his responsibility and pressure!

Chen Yuan felt very uncomfortable, and the pressure and responsibility that was suddenly put on him made him almost out of breath. He once jokingly told Su Muying that in the past, he could still mess with flowers and grass, and there were three thousand beauties in the harem, but now he has to take care of his own image. In the future, I can only abide by my duty and be a good person.

Su Muying was naturally happy about this.

Chen Yuan is growing rapidly and becoming a big man day by day. Su Muying was very depressed and anxious in her heart, she desperately wanted to keep up with the pace of the other party and be worthy of the other party. So during this time, she has been working very hard, except for the limited rest time, she is almost in a state of study.

The intense and busy study life every day made her gradually ignore the passage of time. Only after being exhausted every day can she get a little bit of fulfillment and satisfaction, and can she feel that the distance between the two is gradually being narrowed.

Her life is still monotonous and lonely, but it is much better than it was some time ago.

Chen Yuan said that he would find her a few little sisters. I don't know if I've forgotten it. Su Muying occasionally thought of this incident, and couldn't help but slander in her heart. She didn't go to Chen Yuan to ask. She just wants to work quietly and alone!

Finally, Zhang Liangying came.

Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Liangying for the first time. This girl is very different from the Zhang Liangying in his memory. The small round face, pimples, and restrained performance all made him think that Mei Jiu had found the wrong person. But judging from the contours of the other party's face, as well as other information, it should be correct.

After Chen Yuan carefully confirmed Zhang Liangying's identity, he said calmly: "The company intends to train a group of newcomers, and the training cycle is three years. Three years later. Only these newcomers of yours can make their official debut. And before your debut, you can be eliminated at any time because you don't work hard enough. Are you sure you want to join now? ”

Zhang Liangying nodded vigorously, she can be sure, certain, and sure!

"During the training, you will suffer a lot and suffer a lot. You have to be mentally prepared for this. Chen Yuan emphasized.

"I know," Zhang Liangying raised her head, she didn't dare to look directly into the other party's eyes, she could only look at the bridge of the other party's nose.

Chen Yuan nodded. said: "You go down, your affairs will be arranged by Teacher Huang." If you have any questions or problems, no matter what they are, you can always find Assistant Ye and Assistant Li. They will also help you out as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Liangying nodded, and then walked out of the office after Huang Yunling.

As soon as she went out, Zhang Liangying covered her chest tightly. Her heart was beating violently, as if it could jump out at any moment! It was an experience she had never had before. Just now, she felt a powerful aura from Chen Yuan. That aura is very oppressive. Leave her breathless. I feel a lot better now, but my heart is still pounding.

"Liangying, how's it going?" Zhang's mother, who was waiting outside the door, saw her daughter come out. Hurriedly asked.

Zhang Liangying didn't say anything, she threw herself directly into her mother's arms. She was really excited, both nervous about facing big shots and excited about her dreams coming true. She felt like her life had never been brighter!

In the president's office, Chen Yuan sighed faintly and sat back in his place.

Ye Yun next to her felt very strange, and she asked, "Mr. Chen doesn't seem to be very satisfied with this Zhang Liangying?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled dumbly, he was not dissatisfied, but just a little disappointed. In his memory, the outside world spoke highly of Zhang Liangying. "Dolphin Princess", "Future Chinese Pop Music Singer", "Powerful Singer", "Today's Excellent Singer", "Immeasurable Potential and Future", etc., are all labels attached to her.

But now Zhang Liangying is still a girl who has not fully grown, has not undergone polishing, and has not been packaged. Ordinary and ordinary, no different from most female middle school students. The only difference may be her untapped musical potential. At this point, Chen Yuan believes that the two music producers will do better.

Chen Yuan said to Ye Yun: "Zhang Liangying's potential is there, when she was 14 years old, she won the runner-up in the Chengdu Singing Competition, and sang in the bar for two years. Without potential and level, she would not have been able to do this. I believe that after the company's cultivation and packaging, she will definitely shed that immature shell, and from then on from the ugly duckling to the white swan! ”

"That's what you're looking for new people from the people?" Ye Yun grinned, turned the topic to Chen Yuan's list, and said: "Mei Jiu told me that she went around Hsinchu, Taipei several times, but she didn't find the girl named Wang Xinling. Are you sure there really is such a person? ”

In fact, she wanted to ask where the list came from.

Chen Yuan naturally knew what she meant, and he replied directly: "This list was obtained through secret channels, and there may be omissions in the middle, but it is not a big problem. The above people are all people who have been discovered in recent years and have the potential to become stars. I paid a lot of money to get this list. ”

Is it? Ye Yun will be skeptical. She asked, "I see you prepared a new list, and that was the way you got it?" ”

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "Qingyun Entertainment will develop in all aspects in the future, singers are only part of it, we still need some potential actors." ”

"Who are you going to give this new list to?" Ye Yun asked.

"Just leave it to Duan Kun, he should have returned from New York." Chen Yuan said lightly.

Speak of the devil. As soon as Chen Yuan's words fell, Duan Kun knocked on the office door.

After he got off the plane from Kyoto, he took a taxi and came to the company. Until now, he is still dizzy, and there is no jet lag upside down.

"Things are not going well," Duan Kun explained, "Avril has signed a contract with that record company, and the record company has promised to give her an album." I went a step late. Alas! ”

"Did I give her that 'Complicated'?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Yes," Duan Kun said, "I also showed her the latest issue of Time Magazine." But in the end, looking at what Avril meant, she didn't seem interested in our company. Until now, she hasn't called me either. ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "We have done what should be done, if she really refuses to sign into the company, then there is no way." Looking at your tired appearance, you shouldn't have had time to rest yet, right? Go get some sleep, jet lag is reversed, I have a new task for you! ”

Duan Kun's face flushed, he could feel Chen Yuan's trust in him, but he was really ashamed of this trust. The trip to Canada is over, so there's not much to say.

Duan Kun no longer had any hope for Avril to sign into the company, but Ye Yun saw something unusual on Chen Yuan's face. As soon as Duan Kun left, Ye Yun asked Chen Yuan, "You seem to be confident about this matter?" ”

Chen Yuan was stunned. Ye Yun's heart was as thin as hair, and he could actually see things from his subtle facial expressions. He smiled and said, "As far as I know, this Avril has a rebellious and brave personality, like a boy. The more you think she can't do it, the more likely she is to do it. I'm sure Avril will come! ”

Ye Yun felt very funny, she didn't know where the other party's confidence came from, and she was sure that Avril would definitely come.

PS: Yesterday there were fewer and fewer new subscriptions, and today it dropped to 1500. Very disappointed. Alas, let's just write it like this first! (To be continued.) )
