A few days after the release of Time magazine, the list of films shortlisted for the Oscars was also announced.

Not to everyone's surprise, "Titanic" deservedly was nominated for an Oscar.

If you think about it carefully, it is normal, if "Titanic" cannot be nominated, then this award will lose its gold content and authority!

"Let's stay together for Christmas, the time for the awards ceremony is also out, it's next month." Anderson finished reading the official announcement list of the Oscars for the first time, and said to Shen Feng on the side.

"That's the only way it can be, it's still too torturous to fly back and forth." Shen Feng nodded and agreed to the proposal.

It's mid-December, and with about twenty days to go before the Oscars are awarded, he doesn't want to take three more flights back and forth in twenty days.

It's Christmas just around the corner, so stay and experience the Christmas spirit in New York.

Shen Feng stretched his muscles, and then yawned and walked up to the second floor.

Winter is the most sleepy season, and Shen Feng, who has nothing to do, just wants to stay in a comfortable bed all day.

It's a pity that the idea and vision are good, but God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, how can there be too much leisure time to sink into the current fame.

In the afternoon of the same day, Merlin, the top diva, sent an invitation to Shen Feng, wanting to have afternoon tea with him, and the time was set by Shen Feng himself.

For this invitation, Shen Feng didn't know how to refuse, and he couldn't say that he didn't have time.

"I'm free these days, or should I go to Universal Music Headquarters to look for you?" Shen Feng sent a message to Merlin.

Universal Music is headquartered in California, a considerable distance from New York, and there is even a three-hour time difference between the two places, which used to have to be flown in.

"No, I'm in New York, and you're going to the company's headquarters now, I'm afraid you'll be eaten alive by McCarley!" Merlin's message.

Shen Feng was stunned, he didn't know who this McCarley was, and asked directly:

"Who's McCarley?"

"The company's marketing director, he has always been in charge of Riot Games' song orders, and because of you, he lost this year's music order that should not be lost!"

"Pianist playing under the dragon, that's what some people in the company call you, and it's a little bit mocking of McCarey." Merlin explained carefully.

Hearing Merlin's explanation, Shen Feng suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he touched his nose, which was a little unnatural.

Perhaps the McCarlee director will have to continue to bear this infamy next year, because he has already negotiated with Riot Games, and he will take on the theme song of next year's season.

It's just that this news hasn't been announced on the Riot side yet, and others in the outside world don't know about it yet.

Shen Feng replied: "I see, then I'll come to you tomorrow?" ”

"No problem, my address is..."

Looking at the address sent by Merlin, Shen Feng raised his brows slightly, even if he didn't stay in New York for long, he knew about this place, which showed how famous it was.

A mansion complex near Central Park!

It is one of the most expensive land prices in the world, and a house can cost tens of millions of dollars, and some top apartments have even been sold for hundreds of millions of dollars.

The house here is not only a simple residence, but also has many financial and commercial properties in it.

made an appointment with Merlin, and only then did Shen Feng recall that the school where An Yiyi studied seemed to be in New York.

The Juilliard School of Music is one of the nation's premier art schools.

"It's all here, let's find a time to see her, I don't know how she's doing during this time." Shen Feng sighed lightly, recalling in his mind a series of events that had happened on the Aurora of the Seas last year.

The expression of memory didn't last long on his face, and Shen Feng scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

What's wrong with you, getting old? It seems that I like to remember the past more and more.

...

The next day, because Anderson had an accident, Shen Feng took a taxi to Central Park.

I've heard of it many times before, but when I see the scenery with my own eyes, I still can't stop feeling emotional.

The combination of a park full of natural scenery and surrounded by high-rise buildings makes it feel very harmonious rather than torn.

"Congratulations to the great director, you have been nominated for an Oscar!" Merlin, with her curly blond hair, looked at Shen Feng with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, if it weren't for the theme song you sang, "Titanic" might have failed." Shen Feng also smiled in return.

Of course, this was a joke, and he flattered Merlin in a different way.

"Hahahaha, that's really my pleasure." Merlin brushed the hair next to his ears, and with the sunglasses he wore on his face, he had a heroic taste.

She is wearing a relatively simple dress today, a beige long trench coat with a brown scarf, jeans and high-top sneakers on her feet, and she can't see that she is a top diva who is famous in the world.

In order to avoid unnecessary gossip, Merlin did not plan to meet Shen Feng at the coffee shop outside, but invited him to his house in New York.

Under the leadership of Merlin, Shen Feng followed into this commercial residence with dozens of floors high.

The design of the elevator shaft is very interesting, it is a two-way layer of glass, and from the inside you can see the view of Central Park outside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.

As the elevator went up, Shen Feng looked at Central Park below, this was the first time he had looked at this park from such a perspective, because of the snow, it was like a dreamlike fairy tale scene.

"Black tea or coffee?" When he arrived at home, Merlin looked at Shen Feng with a smile on his face like a professional barista.

"Black tea is fine." Shen Feng replied casually.

After a lot of effort, Merlin took the brewed Earl Grey black tea and some refreshments and put it in front of Shen Feng.

"What do you think of New York?"

"Well, it's a lot better than I expected, there was no expected shooting." Shen Feng picked up a cup of tea and said with a relaxed face.

"Poof! Are you implying that our country is not safe or is it an exaggerated plot of the Hollywood movie? Merlin heard the meaning of Shen Feng's words, and couldn't help laughing.

In this regard, Shen Feng did not make it clear, but just took a few sips of piping hot black tea.

The next moment, Merlin changed his words and said expectantly: "At the end of this month, after Christmas, I will have a concert." ”

As soon as the words fell, Merlin kept observing Shen Feng's expression, wanting to know how he would react.

It's a pity that Shen Feng's expression hasn't changed at all, and he replied in a calm tone: "That's good, I wish you a great sale of concert tickets." ”

"So, I'd like to invite you to be my guest at the concert, how about it?" Merlin's eyes lit up, and he was very much looking forward to Shen Feng's answer.

In fact, Shen Feng didn't expect that Merlin would invite herself to perform at her concert.

"Huh? Why? What your fans are asking for? Shen Feng expressed doubts about this, and the overlap between himself and Merlin's fans should not be high.

Even they are competitors in a sense, after all, they belong to different companies.

The only intersection between the two is probably that he gave her the theme song of the movie "My Heart is Eternal", and Shen Feng couldn't think of the purpose of the other party's invitation to him.

"No, the concert that the company arranged for me recently has always wanted me to be able to collaborate with the Jonas band, but I don't like this family rock band!" Merlin smiled bitterly.

The Jonas band, which is more famous in North America, is probably the only family-based rock band in the world.

Once on the Aurora of the Seas, An Yiyi seems to have listened to their performances.

"So you're going to invite me as a special guest to refuse to be associated with them?" Shen Feng asked tentatively.

"That's right!"

Serve as a shield? Shen Fengcai didn't have this interest, so he immediately said, "Why me?" Although I know that I have a bit of weight, there should be a lot of big-name stars you know! ”

At this, Merlin immediately became embarrassed.

"Of course I know some other big names, but either they are signed with Sony or they are with my company."

"The former is a competitor, so it's not easy to appear at my concert, and the latter is not easy for them to come because of the company's arrangement..."

Shen Feng suddenly understood, and after thinking about it, it was really more appropriate for him to be this shield.

"And you're going to ask the miracle pianist for help?" Shen Feng laughed, and there was still a little satisfaction in his heart.

"Yes, how? Do you agree? Merlin nodded repeatedly.

Of course, it was not easy to agree, Shen Feng put down the teacup, raised his head slightly, and said: "Can you take the liberty of asking, why do you dislike the band of the Jonas family?" ”

As soon as Shen Feng said this, Merlin suddenly made a sad face: "Because the lead singer of their band has been pursuing me openly and secretly, I am not interested in this eldest son in their family. ”

"The company is also interested in marketing in this area, and I have clearly reacted several times, but the company's attitude is a bit ambiguous."

"By the way, you'll have to keep this a secret from me!" Merlin put his index finger to his mouth and carefully shushed.

"You're really sad to be a diva, why don't you have the right to speak?" Shen Feng said sympathetically.

Being forced by the company to fire CP is indeed a relatively inferior behavior.

He has also seen some of this method in domestic companies, but most of them are relatively small celebrities who will stir up scandals like this, after all, both parties need heat, and they generally agree with each other.

This is the first time he has seen a diva like Merlin, who is already a top-level diva encountering this situation.

"Alas, not long after her debut, she did receive a little favor from the Jonas family, so I said..."Merlin hesitated to tell her about her relationship with this rock band.

It turned out to be a drama of coercion, and it seems that you can see this kind of bloody thing anywhere.

didn't rush to answer Merlin, Shen Feng thought carefully.

From Merlin's point of view, he is indeed the most suitable candidate to top the Jonas Rock Band, and he has nothing to do with Sony Music and Universal Music, and he also has this weight and strength.

When the time comes, it's actually okay to go up and play a few piano songs, just to pass the time before the Oscars.

However, Shen Feng also took into account another aspect, that is, An Yiyi!

Speaking of rock bands, Shen Feng inevitably thought of this girl, who also has a fanatical pursuit of rock and roll.

Or... Let the killer band also make a appearance in New York?

Considering this, Shen Feng spoke: "I can promise you, but I may also bring a rock band to your concert at that time, doesn't it matter?" ”

A rock band in love?

Now it was Merlin's turn to be stunned, she only knew Shen Feng's songs, piano, and movies, and she really didn't know that Shen Feng had his own rock band.

"You also have... Rock bands? Merlin asked, stunned.

"Not my rock band, to be exact, I just used to be in this band."

"Of course, it's not sure if they're willing to come over yet, so I'll just tell you first." Shen Feng said seriously.

Merlin pursed his lips, and immediately thought of Shen Feng's talent, and immediately made a decision.

"No problem, happy cooperation!" Merlin stretched out his slender palm to Shen Feng.

"Happy working together!" Shen Feng also smiled and shook Merlin's hand.

In a harmonious atmosphere, Shen Feng turned his head to look out the window at the snowy scene, which happened to see the frozen lake in Central Park.

I don't know what An Yiyi is doing at this time, so I can just take this opportunity to contact her.

If An Yiyi is not interested in this, then he will have to play a few piano pieces by himself.

...

On the other side of New York, the Juilliard School of Music.

Approaching the Christmas holiday, An Yiyi's studies are also a lot easier at this time, and she is not as busy as usual.

It's rare to be idle, but An Yiyi's mind is not at all restless.

Shen Feng is also coming to New York!

She knew about this matter a few days ago, although she was far away from the other side of the world, but she had been paying attention to the news related to Shen Feng.

It wasn't until the release of Time magazine a few days ago that she was sure that Shen Feng had really arrived in New York.

Not only that, but the Oscar was also nominated for his film!

It's just that... Until now, Shen Feng hasn't contacted himself, have you forgotten it?

Thinking of this possibility, An Yiyi, who was sitting at the table, darkened her eyes slightly.

During her time at the Juilliard Conservatory, An Yiyi worked very hard, and even her classmates and teachers were very surprised, and it was rare to see students who worked so hard.

It has been discussed that this girl who has been exchanged from the East may have a rather ambitious goal.

But in reality, that goal is just a back.

"It's Christmas soon, will you go back to China?" A roommate who was putting on makeup asked casually.

Without waiting for An Yiyi to answer, she continued to speak: "If you don't return to China, you can come to my house to spend Christmas together!" ”

However, An Yiyi didn't pay attention to her greeting, because at this time her whole mind was focused on a message on her mobile phone.

"Yiyi, how are you doing, I'm also in New York during this time, and I just happened to be free, let's have a meal together?"
