Los Angeles.

The airport is crowded with people, people who come to pick up the plane, people who come to take the plane, those who have just gotten off the plane, and those who are ready to go out, all gathered in the airport, and people seem very crowded.

Li Lin just got off the plane, his eyes swept over the crowd of people who received the plane, and finally fixed on the body of a person holding two Chinese name signs of 'Li Lin'.

This is a canary, extremely beautiful, but a work uniform and a strict expression make her beauty greatly reduced.

"I'm Li Lin."

Li Lin's bodyguard opened the way in front, and he walked up to the canary himself and spoke, "Are you a staff member of Universal Records?" ”

"I am." When the canary saw Li Lin, his eyes lit up, "My name is Steele." ”

"On behalf of Universal Music, I would like to welcome Mr. Li Lin to Los Angeles, and the United States welcomes you."

"You know me?"

Li Lin asked curiously? Could it be that he is already very famous in the United States?

"I know a certain amount about every celebrity, especially those who aspire to come to the United States."

Just one sentence broke Li Lin's self-righteousness, but he didn't care.

"Miss Steele, please lead the way!"

"Please."

Li Lin quickly got into Steele's car, and after a few laps around Los Angeles, the car landed outside a villa in the suburbs, and Steele snapped and pushed the car door open.

"This is my home, you live here temporarily during this time, of course, if you dislike it, you can also choose your own hotel, I will inform the company to change places to meet you. But in that case, you may have to wait, after all, the company is busy. ”

Universal Music doesn't just need to deal with American things. There are also certain affairs to be handled by the U.S. headquarters, which also have to deal with other countries including China, South Korea, Japan, and France, and the U.S. headquarters also needs to report some things to Vivendi.

These are troublesome things.

Li Lin made an appointment with someone from Universal Records, and if he wants to change places, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a few days.

"Forget it, here it is!" Li Lin waved his hand, and at the same time was a little curious in his heart, who Steele was. How do you know so much about Universal Music's process?

If it's not a high-level, I'm afraid it can't be so accurate.

But if it's a high-level executive, how can you come here to pick up the airport? Universal Music is a big company.

seemed to be aware of Li Lin's doubts. Steele smiled lightly, "If you work with Universal Music, I'll be your manager." ”

The record does not sign the singer, but the agency under the record does.

Actually, there is no difference between the two. It's just to avoid suspicion.

Universal Music designated Steele as Li Lin's manager. That Steele will definitely be able to do it, provided that Li Lin and Universal Music reach a cooperation.

"It turned out to be a broker." Li Lin nodded when he heard this, and he didn't have any objection to Universal Music's arrangement, in Huaxia, singers are all designated agents, and only a few top singers can avoid it, he has long been used to it.

What's more, in the United States, he is not familiar with life. Even in the past and present lives combined, there are only some hearsay things. The rules of the entire American music scene can be said to be a blind eye.

Of course, when I didn't enter the United States before, I didn't need to pay attention to the rules of the United States, but now that I have entered the United States, the rules of the American music scene are a threshold that cannot be avoided.

With an agent in front of her, at least she can mention it.

"Looks like you're not going to leave." Steele smiled and picked up a series of keys casually, "This is the key to the villa, this is the car key, this is the ...... Remember, I'm bullish on you. ”

What to look forward to?

Money, of course.

The agent has to take a cut, although the commission is not very much, but as long as the star is hot enough, it is okay to buy a villa or something, he has seen Li Lin's information, and the road to rise is simply legendary.

Of course, this has nothing to do with her, and it is not the reason why she is optimistic about Li Lin, the only reason is the widely circulated "Opera 2".

The first time she heard this song, she was deeply attracted, and she packed the ticket with the professionalism of her agent, and the song had at least a 30% chance of being popular.

Why 30%? It's all because the song is good.

In other words, there is only a 30% chance that a good song will become popular.

In the United States, it is impossible to become popular without strong publicity, and it is impossible to have strong propaganda without high-quality songs.

Both account for half of the factor.

But Li Lin is different, Li Lin is a Chinese.

In this society that claims to be fair and free, there is a lot of discrimination against nationality that is not visible on the surface.

The United States discriminates against Europeans, Africans, and Chinese, and ubiquitous nationality discrimination is the first dilemma that foreign singers have to face.

Europeans are okay, at least they have deep ties to the United States, and basically do not encounter discrimination.

But Li Lin is different, he is Chinese, others will directly point to the fork when they see that he is a Chinese singer, as for Africans, it is even worse, of course, if you pretend to be a black American, then it's okay, at least the number of black Americans is large enough to affect American society.

"Okay, what are you going to eat?" Steele went into the kitchen and brought out the remaining milk, ham, and burgers from the fridge.

"This is for you, but I don't know if it's dark to your taste? Also need to warm it up? My microwave can be hot. ”

"No need." Li Lin glanced at the food, completely uninterested, "Do you have any ingredients here?" We do it ourselves. ”

"No, but I can buy it."

Steele smiled, "Do you want to make Chinese food?" Count me in, I've been to China before, and I like the food there, but the Chinese food in Chinatown is not authentic, the taste is light, and I don't feel it at all. ”

"It's normal."

Li Lin smiled faintly, "Not everyone likes spicy food. ”

"If you want to eat, you can go to a restaurant that specializes in spicy dishes, and don't deny the whole Chinatown food just because of one restaurant."

"Like preaching, are you all such old-fashioned in life?" Steele pursed his lips, very unconvinced by Li Lin's words, "As for what you said, why haven't I tasted it, it's not authentic." ”

She just messed around.

Li Lin sat on the sofa, his skin was very hard, and he had a hard feeling, "First of all, our craftsmanship is not much better than that of the restaurant owner." ”

Regardless of the ingredients, in fact, the restaurant owner is much stronger than them, at least they are professional cookers, but unfortunately, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, if you use junk ingredients to cook, it will definitely not be delicious.

In his previous life, Li Lin heard a friend boast about how good his father's skills were, Li Lin deliberately went to eat it, but it didn't feel good, and it was not as good as his mother's cooking.

But when he went to a friend's house, he felt really good.

Are the two very different flavors a substitution? No, it's just that the material has changed.

Can gutter oil taste the same as lard?

He doesn't know if gutter oil is popular in the United States, but he knows that the bosses are all the same, they are profit-seeking creatures, and if there are no strict institutional constraints, the boss will dare to add any material to this creature.

Even if there is a strict system, there is no guarantee that the boss's heart is not black, otherwise, how can American fat people be so frequent?

The famous "Super Burger King" faithfully recorded the origin of the American fat man.

Directed by Morgan. Spurlock took the lead by example, eating only McDonald's food for 30 days, and as a result, he went from a height of 6 feet 2, a weight of 185 pounds, and a body that was almost as healthy as a professional athlete to a body with sore knees due to the sudden weight gain.

In this documentary, three doctors faithfully record Morgan. Changes in Spurlock.

After eating McDonald's for 5 days straight, he weighed 195 pounds and had mild nausea, and after 12 days, his weight rose to 203 pounds and his physique began to decline. After 18 days, the weight was pushed back to 202 pounds, but the blood cholesterol rose from 168 to 225. Liver function begins to deteriorate, and doctors suspect that fatty liver is beginning to develop.

On the 21st day, he had too much urea in the physical examination, he had difficulty breathing when he got up in the morning, and his liver function was strict and exceeded. Doctors should stop practicing yàn, otherwise it will be fatal to health.

For 29 days, it was very difficult to go up the stairs.

In 30 days, the weight rose to 210 pounds, gaining 25 pounds. Cholesterol rose by 65 points to 233. Body fat content increased from 11% to 18%. The doctor confirmed that if he continued this diet, he would soon cause coronary heart disease and cirrhosis.

American fast food is no less dangerous to the human body than gutter oil, and even stricter than gutter oil.

At least if you eat food fried in gutter oil every day, it won't become like that in just 30 days, but if you eat McDonald's every day, after 30 days, your physical state will definitely collapse like recorded in "Super Burger King".

Even the famous McDonald's is like this, can you expect other restaurant owners not to be black-hearted? No kidding, it's better to expect the sow to climb a tree.

"Eat first, eat first, then talk." Steele flicked the key in his hand, "By the way, lend me your bodyguard." ”

"Why?"

"You're going to be staying here for the next few days." Steele smiled and said: "You buy enough ingredients at one time and come back, and you have to go out next time, don't you know that the gas cost has been rising recently?" ”

"You're so confident in me?" Li Lin raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid that the food I make doesn't meet your appetite?" In that case, I won't return the ingredients. ”

"I'll give it to you."

"It's fine." Steele waved his hand, "I'll make money from you sooner or later anyway, just think of it as an upfront investment for you." ”

Li Lin was speechless when he heard this.

Half an hour later, Steele came back with Li Lin's bodyguards, along with a large number of ingredients.

"It's time to eat."

"Luo Feng, you go." (To be continued......)
