Chapter 129: Help (Medium)
"Hey, Hannah, what are you looking for from me?" Taylor. Swift picked up the phone and said.
"I'm near Staples Center right now, what's wrong?"
"What? The dancer I asked for can't come tonight? What does that mean? Didn't I apply with them a week ago? Change the song??? nonono~ This is absolutely impossible, this is my matter of principle, I carefully rehearsed these songs, let them solve it themselves!! ”
After saying that, Taylor hung up the phone with some annoyance.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? Tang Qian stopped his movements and asked Taylor.
"The Grammys' working group is so inferior, inferior to !!" Taylor said angrily: "I have already submitted an application with them, I want the Jabbawockeez Dance Company to dance with them, and they agreed to this request, but it was only just now that they told my assistant Hannah that the Jabbawocceez Dance Company was unable to come, didn't it mean to embarrass me??? ”
"So what now?" Tang Qiandao, although he didn't know what this jabbawockeez dance troupe was, he still asked out of concern for his friends.
"What else can I do? Let them figure it out for themselves! I'm Taylor. Swift isn't easy to mess with! Taylor was visibly upset, and the movement of her high nose only added a touch of color to her.
Within minutes, however, Taylor's cell phone rang again.
"How's it going? How are they going to solve it? I'm telling you, Hannah, if there's not a satisfactory answer, then I'm ...... what??? You repeat??? Who do they say help me change to??? Gosh ~ Really? Is it really ABT??? And there's Polina. Semionova ??? Q: Can I change to a beautiful and soothing song? Of course, of course, there is no problem! If it's really ABT Gapollina, then it's okay to change everything! OK! OK! I don't have an opinion, so let's settle it. OK! As soon as Taylor hung up the phone, he immediately waved his little fist and said, "Don, do you know, I'm going to share the stage with Polina, she's ABT's current chief actress!" I went to the dance theater to see her perform, and it was so beautiful and perfect! I really didn't expect it! ”
Let's be honest. Tang Qian didn't know what ABT was at all, and he didn't know this Polina at all. Semionova is a human and a ghost, but seeing Taylor's excited expression, he also smiled and said: "Look, to use a Chinese idiom, this is called Seon lost a horse, I don't know if it's a blessing, congratulations." ”
"If Seon loses his horse, how do you know if it's a blessing? Tang Dynasty. What does this mean? Taylor looked at Tang Qian with a confused expression and asked.
"Well, it probably means that bad things can be a blessing in disguise, but the result is more than expected, well, that's pretty much what it means." Tang Qian thought about it for a while, and could only say a general way.
"Wow~ Chinese idioms are really amazing, but I like it." Taylor finished. said to Tang Qian: "By the way, Tang, due to the temporary change of the backup dance troupe." So I'll have to go over and rehearse privately in advance, so I can't continue to practice with you anymore, I'm sorry. ”
"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, you just go and do your business, you don't need to be sorry on my side." Tang Qian listened. Hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"I've been in this place for 12 hours anyway, enough for you to get to the awards ceremony, but you remember, you have to take a shower after practice, otherwise you'll run over in a sweat. It's going to scare others, you have to remember it~" Taylor took out the hotel's room card, put it on the seat and said, "This is the room card, you can just go in by yourself later." ”
Half an hour later, Taylor left, and Tang Qian was the only one left on the entire basketball court.
However, this does not have a big impact on Tang Qian, because practicing basketball, it is the same whether there is anyone around or not, there is no difference.
After Tang Qian finished all the practice projects, he took the room card and returned to the hotel suite at LEVEL.
After taking a comfortable bath, Tang Qian changed into an outfit, then straightened out his posture and walked out of the room.
At this time, the streets of Los Angeles have fallen at night, and because the location of the Staples Center is not biased, many attractions around it have been lit up. Tang Qian looked at the time, there was still more than an hour before the opening of the Grammys, so he didn't need to be too anxious and in a hurry. Although he has played several games in Staples, he really hasn't visited this neighborhood much. Normally, Tang Qian will take the car back to the Toyota Sports Center to rest after playing the home game, and it is the first time that he is so leisurely as today.
Walk down the L.A.Live near Staples, the South Park area, which has only been repaired in recent years, is 6 blocks in size and makes the L.A.Live very busy, with restaurants, supermarkets, retail stores, movie theaters, bars, nightclubs, and more. However, the place Tang Qian wants to go to is the Grammy Museum, which only opened to the public in 2008. The so-called Grammy Museum, as the name suggests, is a place that tells the history of the Grammy Music Awards Ceremony, and there are very few places like this in China, so Tang Qian feels that he should go over and take a look. This place is very close to the center of Staples, up to 300~400 meters, Tang potential to browse inside, you can quickly rush to the scene, will not miss something.
Maybe tonight is the Grammy Awards, so this Grammy Museum is much more popular than usual.
Tang Qian actually has a general feeling about European and American pop music, and belongs to the kind of person who is neither exclusive nor too enthusiastic. Why? Because as a Chinese, he still likes to listen to Chinese songs more often, and it seems that that is what his appetite is. But since you're at the Grammys, it's always good to visit this part of the culture.
After paying the $15 entrance fee, Tang Qian entered it.
The furnishings inside are very artistic, telling the classics and fragments of the Grammys for more than 50 years, and this place represents the pinnacle of American music and European and American music. Along the way, Tang Qian felt that he, a layman, instantly understood a lot, the layout of the museum was very logical, and after reading the whole thing, people could understand the historical development and historical trend of pop music in the shortest possible time.
"Huh? How can these two backs be a little familiar? Tang Qian walked and suddenly saw a pair of familiar figures.
He was thinking about it. Suddenly I realized that something was wrong.
Someone, someone is following them???
Tang Qian's overall ability to see things is more advantageous than ordinary people because of his height, no, "condescendingly" took a look, and immediately found an abnormality.
There are about four or five people who are stalking. And these people, without exception, have always kept a "safe distance" from the target, so Tang Qian judged that these people should be premeditated "veterans".
What to do? Sit?
Of course not!
Not to mention that he may know them, even if he doesn't know each other, Tang Qian has the obligation to go over and remind them.
However, due to the large number of people in the museum tonight, before Tang Qian walked over, the two people held each other's arms and walked towards the door of the museum.
Oops. If you go out, you'll be in trouble.
Tang Qian swept around with his height, and sure enough, the "tailgators" also disappeared into the museum.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please give way, please give way." Tang Qian couldn't care about so much, forcibly squeezed through the crowd, and then quickly followed.
As soon as I went out, I found that the pair had reached the corner of the block. I'm about to disappear from my sight.
Damn it.
He kicked his feet, and chased after him at speed.
It's a pity that it's still a step too late. By the time Tang Qian arrived, their figures had disappeared.
It's gone? What to do?
Just when Tang Qian was anxiously looking forward to it, a small exclamation on the left hand side attracted Tang Qian's attention. Tang Qian turned his head to see that there was a rich bush area. And the branches and leaves grew very luxuriantly, Tang Qian thought about it for a while, then turned around and squeezed in.
Whew~
After passing through this bush, there was an abandoned building in front of him, and Tang Qian swept it. It looks like a chapel from a movie in the eighties and nineties of the last century. I have to say that this is the "insufficiency" of the megacity of Los Angeles, because the development speed of the city is too fast, so many old places, many old neighborhoods, have not had time to renovate, and after a long time, they have gradually been abandoned. This problem is evident in major cities in the United States.
In fact, if Tang Qian is familiar with American history, he will know that this place was once "cleansed" by the Los Angeles race riots in 92, and it was seriously destroyed at that time, and no one has come out to repair it, so over time, this place has become more and more broken, and the crowd has gradually moved away, becoming another "deserted area" in the greater Los Angeles area. And this kind of place, where whites and pure yellows are generally invisible, and most of the area is "encroached territory" by blacks and Mexicans. What's more, this kind of "wasteland" is favored by many gangsters, so the degree of risk is further increased.
Sadly, there are countless such "territories" throughout the greater Los Angeles area, and they are all one of the "umbrellas" under which gangsters are rampant.
The so-called "City of Angels" is half light and half dark, which is what it means.
"Ah, you, what are you going to do? And you...... Aren't you a beggar...... How ......" suddenly came from the chapel, clearly mixed with panic and panic.
"Hey, hey, two beauties, do you think I look like a beggar?" A male voice rang out at the same time.
"You...... You're a liar??? A female voice spoke.
"Liar??? Hahahaha~ I said two sizes. Sister, you underestimate us too much, we are not here to deceive you today, but to kidnap you! Another male voice laughed.
"Kidnapping, kidnapping??? To you, to you, this is all the money we have on us, to you, now...... Now we can go??? ”
"Let's go??? Hahahaha!! Hey, Kukas, did you hear me? This chick actually said to leave? It's so funny! ”
"You, what are you laughing at? This, this is really all the money we have, and we definitely didn't lie to you. Hearing the other party's unbridled laughter, the female voice became even more nervous.
"Hey, chick, are you an idiot for me? Do you think that we N.B.N. spent so much effort to trick you into coming here just for a few thousand dollars??? ”
"So, what do you want? Isn't kidnapping and kidnapping all about money? ”
“Bingo! You're right, but ......" the male voice took a turn and said, "Not for this little money." ”
"But, but we're still students, and our sisters don't have much money!" The female voice almost burst into tears.
"Oh~yes, yes, you don't have any money, but ...... Your father and mother have, I'm right, Sophia Jr. Sister ~ Sistin Small. Sister~" The male voice said greedily and terrifyingly.
PS: The second update that was late, Xiao Zi was really sleepy last night, and I finished writing it in the morning, I hope you don't blame it, this weekend, you can continue to write, haha~~~
10,000 words are still almost, Xiaozi will finish 10,000 words and then calculate today's chapter, and will not fool the past ~~~
By the way, in fact, there are a lot of beggars on the streets of the United States, and they are not as literary as everyone thinks. In fact, the American empire is the same, professional beggars, which are very popular, and there is even a special "beggar college" in New York, how about it, domineering enough, right? I remember some time ago in the face. There is also a particularly hot video of a man crashing into a liar's anger in the book, probably about Oklahoma, USA, a middle-aged man found that he had given alms to a "female beggar" yesterday, and actually drove a brand new Fiat car, the saddest thing is that the "female beggar" drove a car better than the car he drove, the middle-aged man suddenly couldn't bear it, stopped the car and was furious, this scene was filmed and put in the face. book, causing a sensation. So, in fact, the American empire is the same as us, both good and bad, and not everything is good, everything is excellent. (To be continued.) )
