Chapter 654: Two Hot Topics
On December 13, Taylor's fifteenth birthday, her eponymous album Taylor? Swift officially lined.
This belongs to Taylor? At Swift's moment, Ryan and the others did not appear on the viewing platform of the Empire State Building, but in the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a grand pie was prepared, which was both a small celebration and her birthday.
Of course, her album style is not short of superstars, and in order to fulfill her original promise, Leonardo? DiCaprio made a gorgeous appearance as a backup dancer.
The ceremony not only gathered a large number of media, but was also broadcast live to the whole United States through Guò Disney TV.
"Why does your face always look bad?"
Walk to the corner of the ballroom, Drew? Barrymore sat next to Ryan and said deliberately, "Is there a problem I need to help you solve?" Or is there anything I need to convey? ”
"Drew!" Ryan made a threatening gesture to wipe her throat, and the other party shrugged his shoulders absently, "You're still so boring, I'll go find Gwynnie." ”
This was one of the most critical moments in Taylor's life, and almost all the people in Ryan's circle arrived, Melanie? Sloan and Scarlett? Johnson, Julis? Stewart and Christine? Stuart, Scott? Mr. and Mrs. Swift, Pie? Kinsley and her new boyfriend, Drew? Barrymore and Gwyneth? Paltrow, Paris? Sister Hilton, James? Mr. and Mrs. Cameron......
Also, as someone who loves Taylor, Nicole will definitely not be absent.
In addition, Charlize, who is not only busy opening a store on Fifth Avenue? When Theron came, Natalie, who was busy preparing for "Life and Death Dilemma", also appeared in the banquet hall.
They were both among the people who had the best relationship with Taylor.
However, the three of them, as in the past, did not communicate at all.
It didn't take anyone on one side or the other, so Ryan simply sat alone in this corner and watched Taylor shine on TV.
Although "Safe&Sound" was recognized by Rolling Stone magazine's famous music critic Jody ? Lawson was rated as the most beautiful ballad, but Taylor included most of the songs including "Ry" and "My Season". Noticeably more popular.
"Hi, Ryan."
"Hi, Gwynnie."
Drew pulling Gwyneth? Paltrow walked back in, and Ryan gestured to the chair across the table. "Just sit down."
"Where's Epple?" Ryan is asking about her and Chris? Martin's daughter, the Miss Apple.
"In the room, it's taken care of by the nanny."
As soon as Gwyneth's words were finished, Drew poked her and teased, "You are now a winner in life, and your husband, daughter, and family are all enviable." ”
"Then when are you going to marry yourself off again?" Gwynnie fought back unceremoniously.
"Didn't think about it." Drew picked up his glass and took a sip, "Now I think it's good to be alone, and no one has to think about it." All your energy can be focused on your career. ”
"That's right, Drew." Ryan suddenly remembered the movie he had given to Flower Pictures, "Ann? How's Lee's progress? ”
"With Hiss? Ledger and Jack? The two Gyllenhaal cowboys went to Montana. ”
Seeing Ryan nod, she said to Gwyneth? Paltrow said, "I heard you signed a long-term contract with Marvel?" ”
"Six contracts were signed."
It's all your own people here. Gwyneth? Paltrow didn't shy away from it, and said directly, "Three "Iron Man", and three more to be determined, if nothing else, it will be the "Avengers" that Ryan said." ”
"Pepper? Potts? Drew put down his glass and asked Ryan, "When is the shooting starting?" ”
"After the New Year." Ryan's gaze snapped back from the three women who had no intersection in the distance. "We're waiting for Jon? Favreau ends his current work. ”
This director impressed Ryan too much, and he also made a cameo appearance in Tony in his previous life? Stark's bodyguard, Harpy.
As for Pepper, Ryan's original choice was Charlize, but unfortunately she only wanted to keep shooting one movie a year in order to focus more on her fashion career, so she had to agree to Gwyneth, who was finalized on the surprise side? Paltrow.
"What about you. Drew. ”
Talking about work, Ryan was much more serious, "I heard that your persuasion work has progressed?" ”
"Sylvester? Stallone promised that if I could convince others, he would take a pay cut to star and become a director. Drew pinched his eyebrows, and seemed to have a headache. Arnold? Schwarzenegger's cameo isn't much of a problem, but others are more troublesome, Bruce? Willis still has a film contract for "Die Hard", Jet? Lee insisted on a salary of $150,000 and did not let go......"
"What do you want to do?" Gwyneth asked curiously.
"Bring together all the veteran action superstars." Ryan clenched his fists and gestured in a free fighting pose, "Shoot a blockbuster action movie." ”
"You two are crazy......"
"Taylor is back."
Facing Drew, who was sitting at the door, he reminded Ryan and the others to stand up and walk over there.
Girls of six feet and ten inches dressed like elves and hugging their friends and family as they entered the banquet hall to receive their blessings.
"Honey, we're so proud of you."
Ryan hugged her gently, "Perfect." ”
This kind of moment should belong to Taylor and her parents, and Ryan Xun stepped aside, watching the girl excitedly hug her father, mother, and brother.
"Allison has grown up."
Nicole's voice came from beside her, and she said with emotion, "She's about to spread her wings and take to the sky." ”
"Isn't that what we've been hoping for?"
Maybe it was just a bad taste at first, but people have feelings, and after more than ten years of getting along, Ryan has long regarded her as a relative.
Taylor over there hugging Austin? Swift suddenly turned around and walked over, first hugged Ryan hard, and then got into Nicole's arms like he did when he was a child, and said loudly, "I love you!" ”
"Honey, we love you too!"
The pie didn't last long, Taylor was obviously a little tired after the album release party, and he was going to embark on a national publicity tour starting tomorrow, and after more than half an hour, everyone dispersed.
In the end, Ryan left Taylor.
"Allison......" Ryan solemnly made a final admonition, "Nicole said, her Boeing plane is for your use for the time being, and Pat will accompany you in the first few stops of the promotion, ask her any questions." ”
"My dear Brother Ryan." Sitting on the sand chair with his hands on his chest, Taylor rolled his eyes, "You're really old, you're getting more verbose than before." ”
"Because you've grown up." Ryan walked over and rubbed her gold, "I won't have a chance to be verbose in the future." ”
"And ......" dissipated the faint feelings, Ryan still said seriously, "You are not allowed to leave the sight of the bodyguard when you go out, I have contacted it, after the record week sales are announced, Time Magazine will have a cover interview, and when I return to Los Angeles, there will be Annie's talk show." ”
"Hmm~" The girl nodded her head vigorously, "I remember!" ”
"Alright, now let's go and rest."
Ryan pulled her out of her chair and walked out of the ballroom together, taking the Guò elevator to the suite on the top floor.
"Go to sleep."
Out of the elevator, Ryan patted her on the back, Taylor hesitated, but said, "I'll go to Scarlett first, she said she was looking for me just now." ”
"Don't make it too late!"
The two girls grew up arguing with each other, and sometimes they were simply lawless to play.
The next day, from Times Square as a starting point, Taylor began the national publicity tour that is essential for every singer's record, and the Disney Group, which dominates the youth market, has invested a lot of media resources in her, and there is always a heavyweight everywhere she goes to help her.
Scarlett? Johnson, Natalie? Portman, Charlize? Theron, Nicole? Kidman, Drew? Barrymore and others appeared at her book signing in different cities, and even at the Los Angeles stop, Ryan personally took the stage to accompany her, although there were a few notes in the middle, but it caused a sensation.
Despite the sour words of some media, Taylor enjoys treatment that has never been seen by a new singer in the history of pop music.
These have also brought about sales of record horrors.
Taylor? Swift became the second-best-selling solo album of all time by a female singer of the week, and was praised and recommended by most music critics, including Rolling Stone magazine, which gave a high rating of four and a half stars, or nine points.
Although album sales dropped to more than 4o copies in the second week, it has to be said that it is a miracle in today's record industry, which is in a sharp decline.
"Vanity Fair", "Time Magazine", "Annie Talk Show", "Good Morning America" and other famous programs, and then all appeared Taylor, this young girl, with a fresh and beautiful image and tactful and smart singing voice, in just a few weeks, swept North America.
Of course, her huge network was also exposed, and it was inevitable that some people began to say, Taylor? Swift became popular quickly because he had a good family......
However, there is one question that cannot be avoided: if Taylor's music is not good enough, can she be so popular with teenagers across the country?
In the second half of 2oo4, two hot topics swept the nation.
One is because of the Iranian events cited in "Argo", and the other is "Taylor? Swift" album popularity.
When she was eight years old, she began to practice the guitar hard, at least four hours a day, often playing until her fingers broke and bleed. At the age of eleven, he began to try his hand at composing, determined to enter the music industry, and sold two songs by the age of thirteen. Before entering Hollywood Records, she had already shown the talent of all her peers when she was training at Warner Records. ”
The music director of Warner Records talked about Taylor in an interview, and his tone was full of regret that such a wonderful singer did not stay at Warner Records in the end.
