After more than three hours of flight, Cui Zhengyuan and his entourage arrived in Houston, a city in the south-central United States.

Due to the tight schedule, they only have eighteen hours to reserve here before heading off for Miami again. So Chris didn't book a hotel in Houston, but arranged the rest place directly in the backstage of the book signing.

When they leave the airport, head straight to the signing session. There are already a large number of fans waiting there.

The signing was held at the Toyota Center, home of the famous NBA team Houston Rockets.

Because the stadium is sponsored by Toyota, Sony has been granted the right to use it for seven hours by virtue of its relationship with a Japanese company.

Cui Zhengyuan is very satisfied with this arrangement. Although he doesn't know much about basketball, he is still familiar with the Houston Rockets. Who called a Chinese basketball star who played here, the news about it in those years was overwhelming, and it was difficult to think about it.

The only pity is that it is only November 2001, and Yao Ming will not join the Rockets until the summer of 2002. Otherwise, Cui Zhengyuan would have to meet him no matter what.

It's not for the sake of coveting his fame, it's purely out of the idea of meeting idols in person.

Yes, don't look at Cui Zhengyuan's usual bullish and unscrupulous appearance, in fact, he also has people he admires. On the contrary, his idol is not in the field of football that he likes, but basketball star Yao Ming.

Maybe it's because in China in his previous life, Yao Ming's hype outpaced others by a lot. So Cui Zhengyuan admires this basketball superstar very much.

The car drove directly into the backstage of the Toyota Center, and Cui Zhengyuan and the others walked into the lounge without even having time to rest.

Bai Jinyan and the others have already arrived, and they are sorting out the props, just waiting for Cui Zhengyuan to come and start styling.

During this period of time, Yang Meishu and Bai Jinyan followed Caroline and really learned a lot of things.

Yang Mi-sook is a little older. Other than the addition of some experience, there is no other aspect to be seen. Bai Jinyan's ability is improving at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and even a woman like Caroline, who is so arrogant that she can't help but let go of her reserve, occasionally mentions a few words of life.

is young, talented, and has a lively brain, and because of the improvement of strength, Bai Jinyan's personality has also begun to change. The little girl who used to cry when she scolded is now doing things in a hurry. Many aspects have their own unique opinions. Even if it is contrary to people's opinions, they dare to argue with reason.

Vaguely, he began to show the demeanor of a top makeup artist.

I didn't see Cui Zhengyuan coming in leisurely, and the little girl shouted with a straight face: "Standing officer, why did you come?" We've all been waiting for a long time, hurry up and sit down. Time is running out, and there's still a lot of work to be done. ”

Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, and was obediently pressed by the little girl to sit down, allowing her to scribble on his face. This chick decides whether he will be able to see people or not. Don't dare to offend her.

Artists are quite troublesome in applying makeup, even if it is a light makeup like Cui Zhengyuan, it can't be finished without half an hour.

Therefore, while Bai Jinyan is busy. Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep for a while. The after-effects of long-distance flying caused him not to get enough rest. Anyway, after the makeup is over, you still have to do the hairstyle. It takes at least an hour or so. He couldn't move. Wouldn't it be a waste not to sleep?

The environment can really change people's habits. In the past, even if there was only a slight sound, Cui Zhengyuan was sleepy and couldn't fall asleep. As a result, I only worked as an artist for about two months. Even if someone used a knife on his head, he would not be able to sleep with thunder.

Until Bai Jinyan finished her makeup, even her hairstyle was done. Yang Meishu was about to match the costume before waking him up.

Although the time was short, Cui Zhengyuan only felt that he slept unusually sweetly, and even the corners of his mouth were full of saliva.

Carlos also walked in, followed by a person, and after the introduction, I learned that this person was the venue manager of the Toyota Center, who was responsible for the management of the venue.

The fans outside have already entered the venue and are lining up in an orderly manner under the organization of the staff. Everything is already in place, just waiting for Cui Zhengyuan, the main master, to appear.

It was less than ten minutes before the scheduled opening time, so Carlos came over to urge.

Choi Jung-won is still a newcomer, and it is a must to make a good impression on fans. He is not qualified to play a big name, being late, leaving early or something, is a big taboo at this time.

Because it was just a signing meeting, neither Sony nor A.P had arranged a professional MC. Warner Bros. Publishing also did not prepare, so a young man with a lively personality in Choi Jung-won's dance troupe made a temporary cameo.

This guy has a resounding name, Arthur. William.

It's a pity that he is a prince, and he is a dead dancer.

Although the same name is not the same fate, Arthur is optimistic by nature, is the pistachio in the team, and can regulate everyone's emotions very well. So this time the staff was streamlined, and Cui Zhengyuan still brought him with him, just to have a laugh to relieve fatigue along the way.

Unexpectedly, this decision could still work wonders.

When I was waiting backstage, I heard this young man fanning the atmosphere of the scene with a passionate voice. "Well, ladies and gentlemen, the exciting time has arrived. Our superstar, Superstar, handsome, and talented, Lance, is ready to meet everyone. I wonder if you're ready? ”

He was greeted by enthusiastic cheers from the fans in the audience, and some people couldn't wait to shout a request for Choi Jung-won to come out immediately.

Facing the enthusiastic shouts, Cui Zhengyuan walked out of the curtain quickly, came to Arthur's side, and praised him: "Boy, you did a good job." I sincerely advise you to change careers, and maybe in the near future our audience will be able to witness the birth of another Oprah. ”

Arthur's brain was indeed very bright, and he immediately picked up the conversation. "So, Lance, are you going to invest in me?"

"Uh, huh, that ......" Choi Jung-won pretended to be stunned for a moment, then turned the fans below and waved his hand vigorously. Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to have you here. ”

His obvious turn of motion seemed to be nothing more than a compliment to what he had just said. This made Arthur very "hurt", and he wanted to cry without tears on the side: "Lance, in front of so many fans, it is immoral for you to do this." ”

The fans in the audience happily watched the two perform a sitcom, and then coaxed Arthur: "You can go down, we don't need you anymore." ”

Arthur ran off the stage in a gloomy manner, and Choi Jung-won looked at his back and thought. This kid has a good talent, look at it for a while, if it really can, it's not that he can't train him to be an MC.

Now that Cui Zhengyuan is left alone on the stage, fans have discovered that he looks much cleaner in front of him than on TV.

That's right, it's clean. Unlike other artists' dazzling decorations and alternative exaggerated makeup, Cui Zhengyuan's dress is very simple.

Because it was already winter, he wore a beige jumper, tight sweatpants on the bottom, and a pair of Adidas white sneakers on his feet. The face is light makeup, and if you don't look closely, you think it's no makeup.

The hair is pure black and stands up at the roots, as dense as a tropical rainforest.

Just looking at the appearance, it is said that the boy next door on the street is more than a fashion star.

Maybe it's his alternative appearance, which is even more attractive, and the shouts of the fans in the audience are getting louder and louder one after another. The cacophony almost toppled the roof of the hall.

Cui Zhengyuan looked at it, although there are many black-haired and yellow-skinned Asians among the fans present today, European and American races still account for most of the proportion.

This shows that he still has a certain influence in Europe and the United States, unlike those international superstars. When I arrived in that country, I was surrounded by fans and seemed to be very popular. But if you look closely, apart from those compatriots and Asians in your own country, there are very few real European and American fans.

And of the almost 500 people present today, there are only a dozen men, and the rest are women. This shows that "Twilight" is worthy of being an idol novel, and it is far more attractive to women than men.

In addition, Cui Zhengyuan himself is a male artist, and there must be more female fans accordingly.

This situation was expected by him, and the fanaticism of female fans far exceeded that of men, and the consumption level was more than dozens of times that of male fans. These people are the goal of making money, and since they are here, the purpose of this publicity has been achieved.

Seeing that it was almost over, Cui Zhengyuan announced the official start of the signing meeting.

He himself sat behind his desk, and the staff helped him prepare the appropriate supplies. Then fans lined up and began to step forward one by one, using the books they had purchased to get autographs.

The first person was a little white girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with large eyes inlaid with royal blue eyes, which looked as deep as a lake. Holding the book in front of his chest with both hands, he walked to the desk with a blush of excitement on his face. didn't say a word, just looked at Cui Zhengyuan so directly.

Cui Zhengyuan has seen a lot of this kind of little girl, and she is generally the type with a more sullen personality. It seems that Wenwen is weak on the surface, but in fact, he loves fantasy the most in his head. And this kind of person is also the main consumer of all kinds of romance works, because of various reasons, he can't get true love in reality, so he satisfies his hopes in various words.

Of course, no matter what he thought in his heart, he couldn't see anything unusual on the surface. With a kind smile, he asked, "Beautiful girl, is there anything I can do for you?" ”

Perhaps it was Cui Zhengyuan's gentle tone that encouraged the little girl, who put the book on the table and said in a cheerful tone: "Hello Lance, my name is Lisa, Lisa. Mariel. Tomorrow is my sixteenth birthday, can you write a message of blessing on it? (To be continued......)
