Chapter 220: Accidents Turned Stories

"No alcohol measured?"

"Yes, Boss, not at all, but he buys ...... wine"

"Do you think the bar will admit to selling him alcohol?"

The sheriff's words made the little officer shut his mouth in a huff.

California law requires you to be at least 21 years old to drink alcohol, and violators are punishable by fines, usually a few hundred dollars.

But merchants who sell alcohol to minors are unlucky, not only with much heavier fines, tens of thousands, but also with the possibility of jail time.

The merchant knew that Qin Muchu had bought wine and didn't drink it, so as long as he wasn't stupid, he wouldn't admit to selling wine to him.

The sheriff looked at the little police officer with some unhappiness on his face and patted him on the shoulder:

"Listen, Jon, even if you think he's drunk, it's just a penalty, do you think he'll mind that money? He is a big director of multi-dollar movies. ”

As soon as the conversation turned, the sheriff suddenly laughed and said:

"But the other person you brought back is conclusive, and her identity is not ordinary, she is a popular female singer, the boy is really lucky, and the people who caught her are not ordinary people."

There are a lot of Hollywood stars, and it's normal to meet them on the streets, but it's unusual to arrest them and bring them to the police station.

Speaking of which, the police officer is not sleepy:

"Oh, yes, I've heard her songs, and I'm half a fan, but at the time she had all her makeup spent, and I couldn't recognize it at all."

He paused:

"Boss, do you think she will give it if I go to her and ask for an autograph?"

The sheriff groaned:

"I think she'll not only give you autographs, but she'll also invite you to dinner, and then invite you to her house to fix the light bulb and thank you for getting her into the bureau with your own hands."

……

"Sir, sign your name here and go."

The police handed over a form, Qin Muchu took it, read it, and roughly browsed it, signed his name and handed it back to him.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

The policeman said with a smile, and suddenly squeezed his eyes at Qin Muchu:

"Also, I love your movies, my whole family went to see them, it's great."

The policeman's words were the best news Qin Muchu heard tonight, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Thank you."

"Do you need me to send you a car? It's not easy for us to get a taxi here. The policeman said again.

"Thanks, but no, someone outside picks me up."

……

Walking out of the gate of the police station, Qin Muchu looked back at the brightly lit police station and shook his head.

The two times I went abroad, I had a relationship with the police, which was really unfavorable.

And what kind of Cao Dan's law is it to drink alcohol at the age of 21!

When the Celestial Empire drinks during the New Year's holidays, children of a few years old have adults who dip their chopsticks in some wine and lick them for him!

Qin Muchu complained angrily about the laws of the United States, and Lao Feng had already run over.

"Director Qin, are you okay?" Lao Feng asked.

"It's okay, Uncle Feng, at most I will be fined some money." Xiao Zhang, who ran after him, said.

But then in exchange for a slap from Lao Feng:

"Do you know kid?"

Xiao Zhang covered his head and whispered:

"I know, I know, but I don't know that Director Qin is not 21 years old."

Lao Feng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Muchu:

"Well, it's me who doesn't understand the law here, so I can't blame others. Let's go back and rest. What happened to the others? ”

"It's all back to the hotel......"

The three of them walked to the side of the road and prepared to hire a taxi back to the hotel.

But I don't know if it's too late or the police station is not in the right place, there is not a taxi for half a day.

"Why don't you go back? I remember the road, and it took about twenty minutes to get there. Xiao Zhang proposed.

Qin Muchu was just about to speak, when suddenly a white SUV stopped in front of them.

The car door opened, revealing a face that Qin Muchu hated deeply.

"Hey, I'm ......"

As soon as the blonde and blue-eyed beauty spoke, Qin Muchu had already turned around and walked away expressionlessly.

"Let's go, let's walk back and see if we can get a taxi on the way."

He said to Lao Feng and Xiao Zhang.

The two glanced at the beautiful woman in the RV, and also recognized that this was the woman who was drunk in the bar, glanced at each other, and followed Qin Muchu without saying a word.

"Hey, I'm here to apologize."

The girl shouted from behind, but Qin Muchu continued to walk without looking back as if she hadn't heard it.

After a while, the SUV drove again to the level of the three of them, and the girl jumped out of the car, walked quickly in front of Qin Muchu, and stretched out her hand to stop him.

"Hey, I said I'm here to apologize."

The girl still had a slight drunken flush on her face, but she spoke clearly.

The clothes were also changed, and the hood of the dress was no longer worn, and the blonde hair was tied up, revealing a beautiful face.

However, Qin Muchu didn't have any sense of appreciation, and looked at the girl:

"I see."

After saying that, bypass the girls and continue to walk forward.

The girl stood in place and was stunned, and soon moved her long legs and chased after her:

"OK, I know I was rude at the bar just now, sorry, I can make amends, really."

Qin Muchu stopped, looked down at the girl condescendingly, and said with a smile:

"Compensation? Are you referring to money? ”

Although the girl felt that Qin Muchu's eyes were a little strange, she still said:

"Uh...... Yes, how much do you need? ”

Qin Muchu stretched out a finger.

"OK, I'm willing to pay you $10,000 to apologize for my rude and trouble."

As if relieved, the girl took out a stack of checks from her pocket, took out a pen and wrote a string of numbers on it.

"It's yours."

The girl tore off the check and handed it to Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu raised his eyebrows.

Checks are not popular in the mainland of the Celestial Empire, and the most common occurrence is in TV dramas, when the rich evil mother-in-law drives away the poor girl that her son likes, she will throw out a check.

It seems that this is still a little rich woman, and $10,000 is not a decimal number, and she gave it without blinking an eye.

But he didn't take the check, and shook his outstretched finger:

"I'm talking about 100 million."

After saying that, he bypassed the girls.

One hundred million?

The girl stood there and was stunned for a moment.

Who apologized for 100 million compensation?

The lion didn't open his mouth like that.

And Qin Muchu's attitude was obviously not asking for money, just playing her.

"Hmph, careful-eyed man, I'm blind to a good song, don't forget it! Now I have the backbone, and I will regret you when I go back. ”

The girl angrily chopped her feet, tore the check to shreds, threw it away, and turned back to the car.

In the driver's seat of the car sat a man in his thirties, and as soon as he saw the girl in the car, he asked:

"How's it going, have you forgiven me?"

The girl pinched her eyes:

"I don't know."

"Don't know?" The man was surprised.

Understanding is understanding, and no understanding is no understanding, how can there be no such thing as not knowing.

"I wanted to give him money, but he didn't." The girl said with her eyes closed.

"That means I didn't forgive you?"

The man unbuckled his seat belt, turned to look at the girl, and said bitterly:

"Taylor, you have to know that you can't hide the fact that you are underage drinking, although it is not a big deal, but it also has a great impact on your image.

Especially if you're drunk in a bar, and if that guy says something bad to you in front of the media, that's ......"

"That's enough, Bob!"

The girl suddenly shouted impatiently.

The man opened his mouth, and the words stopped.

The girl also realized that her attitude was a little bad, but she was out of love, drunk and crazy and caught at the police station, apologized and was not forgiven.

All these things together made her heart irritable.

"I'm sorry, Bob, I'm not mad at you. It's just that...... Send me back first, okay? I want to take a break, and you decide the follow-up of this matter, and I will do it. The girl closed her eyes in weariness.

The man named Bob didn't say much.

After all, it's just a nineteen-year-old girl, and she's not mature yet.

"OK, sit down, we're off to go."

……

When Qin Muchu returned to the hotel, it was already past twelve o'clock.

It was already past 10 o'clock when he was arrested and taken to the police station, and later he recorded a confession, took an alcohol test, and all kinds of procedures were complicated.

And I walked back to the hotel, and I was unfamiliar with the road and walked a lot of unjust roads.

Xiao Zhang's head was slapped a few times by Lao Feng because of this.

With so many things happening in one day, Qin Muchu only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and after walking to the bathroom to take a bath, he was just about to go back to his room to sleep when the doorbell rang.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Muchu looked at Xiao Zhang standing at the door, he was still holding a DV machine in his hand.

"Director Qin, didn't I record when you sang in the bar? Would you like to take a look? Xiao Zhang said.

"Tomorrow, I'm too tired today." Qin Muchu said.

Watching a fart video on a big night, it's not like that.

"Oh, then my girlfriend wants to see it, can I show it to my girlfriend?" See you in a small picture.

"You're showing your girlfriend my footage now?" Qin Muchu's eyes were a little strange.

You kid, you don't have any Japanese love.

Seeing Qin Muchu's strange eyes, Xiao Zhang suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly explained:

"It's noon and not night in the country, it's okay."

OK, my bad, forgot about jet lag.

Qin Muchu waved his hand and yawned.

"It doesn't matter, you can handle it."

Xiao Zhang immediately smiled:

"Okay, Director Qin, then don't disturb your rest, I'll go first."

……

Back in the room, Zhang opened his laptop, pulled out the memory card from the DV machine, and transferred the video to the computer.

My girlfriend is in a hurry, and he has to send the video over now.

Looking at the progress bar moving forward little by little, thinking of his girlfriend's promise, Xiao Zhang can already imagine the wonderful life after returning to China.

Suddenly, a pop-up pop-up popped up on the screen where the video was being transferred.

It's YouTube's recommended interface, and he has nothing to do in the United States during this time, so he brushes YouTube videos to pass the time.

I was just about to fork off the interface, and suddenly I saw a popular recommended video above, and stopped clicking the mouse.

"Whoever has heard this song, please tell me the name of the song!"

A video, the scene on the cover is somewhat familiar.

Click on the video, the picture is very pasty, not much better than mosaic, and it seems to be a little far away when shooting, and the sound quality is not good, a lot of noise.

But when the song sounded, Xiao Zhang, as one of the parties at the video shooting scene, immediately recognized it.

"Isn't this horse pedaling Director Qin singing in a bar?"

Xiao Zhang's eyes widened.

The video has a high number of views, more than two hours after it was posted, and it has already had hundreds of thousands of views and countless comments.

"Good music, very relaxing."

"I like his humming very much, so happy, and I ask for the name of the song."

"Where is this? I want the contact information of the little brother.,Soft girl.。 ”

"Upstairs is dead perverted, and in the last black silk video, he also asked people about the black silk they wanted to wear."

"The pixels are touching, did you shoot it with your phone? There is no HD uncensored version. ”

Seeing this comment, Xiao Zhang's eyes lit up.

HD uncensored,I have it.。

But......

posted his video without Director Qin's consent, Director Qin won't be angry, right?

But he said whatever I could do......

That......

Ten minutes later, Xiao Zhang looked at the edited title:

"A high-definition uncensored blockbuster where hundreds of thousands of people kneel and beg for their names, it's coming!"

Nodding in satisfaction, confirm the upload.

OK!

Broken sleep.

Wait, did you forget something?

……

At the same time, in another hotel in Hollywood, more than a dozen people were in the room, some around the computer, some with the phone.

"Boss, only a few media outlets have been suppressed, and they only promise not to publish it before 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, if there are other media outlets, they will also release it."

A woman walks in from outside the room and reports to the man standing next to the computer.

"I see."

Bob didn't look back, staring intently at the computer.

The woman secretly stood on tiptoe to glance at the computer screen, instantly retracted her gaze, and rolled her eyes vaguely.

"A high-definition uncensored blockbuster where hundreds of thousands of people kneel and beg for their names, it's coming!"

"Phew, old color critic, when are you still watching the film." The woman complained in her heart.

Suddenly, Bob turned his head and asked the woman:

"Has the man's identity been found?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood which man Bob was talking about:

"I just went to the police station where Taylor was arrested, and at first they were reluctant to disclose information, and then I stuffed some money into the sheriff, and the sheriff was greedy......"

"Say the result, I'll reimburse you for how much you spent." Bob interrupted impatiently.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the woman immediately took out a piece of paper from her handbag and handed it to Bob.

"Qin Muchu, a native of the Celestial Empire, is a director who came to participate in the Oscars. The movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which was popular recently, was filmed by him, and today ...... Just yesterday I won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. ”

Bob listened to the woman's introduction while browsing through Qin Muchu's information in his hand.

β€œwhat? Twenty years old? Won the Berlin Golden Bear at the age of twenty? Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person? Bob looked incredulous.

The woman nodded:

"Yes, 20 years old, that's why he was taken to the police station."

She was also surprised when she learned Qin Muchu's information from the sheriff's mouth, and she confirmed it many times before believing it.

Bob smashed his mouth and looked at the computer again, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, ......"

There was a humming sound from the computer, but it wasn't like that.

It's pretty good.

The woman slowly stepped aside to see the video playing on the computer.

An Oriental boy sits in front of an electronic piano and sings.

The cheerful melody seems to have a kind of magic to dispel troubles, which makes people feel relieved.

But who lacks virtue gives this kind of name to the singing video!?

"What do you think?"

"Huh?"

The woman looked at Bob puzzled.

"How's this song?" Bob asked.

"It's good, is it a new song? Whose? Taylor's album this year is still early, so it shouldn't be affected......"

"It's the boy in the video."

The woman stopped talking and frowned:

"Newcomer? It's just a male singer, so it shouldn't have much impact on Taylor......"

"He is Qin Muchu, the director of the Celestial Dynasty you checked."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The woman was dumbfounded, looking at Bob's eyes as if to say, "You're kidding me."

"Isn't he a director? Why do you still sing? ”

Bob didn't answer, because he also wanted to know.

Isn't that a bad job?

"Taylor said that the reason she was drunk was to ask the boy the name of the song and ......"

Bob didn't go any further, and the woman understood.

This song does have a certain comforting effect on people who have fallen out of love.

"Boss, what do we do now? He is a great director, and if he says something bad for Taylor in front of the media, the impact will be even greater. The woman said.

"I know, I know, and I'm most worried about whether there will be a video of Taylor singing live at the time, and whether there will be a video of Taylor going drunk."

Bob patted his head with a headache.

Taylor Swift, who debuted in 2006, won the "Five Platinum" record with the album of the same name as soon as he debuted, and "One Platinum" is one million sales.

And she is also a singer-songwriter, and the lyrics and songs are all written by herself, which is even more amazing.

A proper future music superstar.

It must not be stained on the image of some small things, giving people the impression of being an alcoholic or a drunken maniac.

Is there any way to counteract the effects of this incident?

Bob touched his chin and looked at the video on the computer, thinking about it.

I couldn't help but smile.

In that case, it might even turn out to be a good thing......

……

"Ding-dong, ding-dong."

In his sleep, Qin Muchu vaguely heard the doorbell, but he thought it was a dream, so he ignored it.

But the doorbell kept ringing.

Qin Muchu could only reluctantly get up and open the door.

"Who?"

The door opened, and a man and a woman stood in the doorway.

The male Qin Muchu didn't know him, but the female Qin Muchu was very impressed.

"Hi, I'm ......"

"Smack!"

The door closed, and the bangs on Taylor's forehead were blown by the wind brought up by the door, and the smile stiffened on his face before it had time to fade.

"Made, you don't let me go in your dreams, this American boy can't stay for a day." Qin Muchu scolded.

Suddenly, there was a loud and violent sound at the door, this time it was not the doorbell, someone was hammering the door.

Qin Muchu woke up suddenly.

Not a dream!

When I walked to the door, I saw an angry girl's face through the cat's eye, and she was pounding the door with her fist raised, and the man next to her couldn't hold it.

This girl is so crazy if she doesn't drink, her feelings are not drunk, but she is mentally ill?

Suddenly, the girl seemed to notice that Qin Muchu was looking through the cat's eye, and her face leaned on the cat's eye:

"Open the door! Don't hide! ”

"Get out, I'm going to call the police."

Qin Muchu is not stupid, naturally it is impossible to open the door, and it is not illegal to kill people with mental illness.

The girl wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the man behind her, and the man smiled and said:

"Sir, it's all a misunderstanding, we came this time to apologize, and secondly, we have something very important to discuss with you, can you open the door and let us go in?"

……

On the sofa, the three of them sat opposite each other.

"You want to buy my songs?"

Qin Muchu frowned and looked at the girl opposite.

"It's co-creation."

Taylor corrected,

"Your song should be incomplete, some melodies are missing, and the tune could be richer, like the chorus......"

"OK, OK, die to Pu, die to Pu."

Seeing that this girl wanted to popularize music knowledge for herself, Qin Muchu hurriedly interrupted:

"It doesn't matter if you want to buy it or co-create it, I say no. If there's nothing else, then I won't send it. ”

As he spoke, he picked up his glass.

Although foreigners don't understand the allusion of serving tea to guests, they can also feel Qin Muchu's attitude.

Taylor wanted to say something, but was preemptively opened by agent Bob:

"Don't be in a hurry, sir, I know Taylor made a very bad impression on you last night, but there is a reason for all this.

A 19-year-old child fell out of love and made some rude acts after drinking to kill his sorrows, please understand. ”

Nineteen? A year younger than me?

Qin Muchu glanced at Taylor opposite in surprise.

Foreign girls mature relatively early, and it is difficult to judge age.

Just now, his agent also introduced him to Taylor's situation, which is a very popular original singer in the United States at the moment.

Isn't this the American version of Zhou Jiaolun?

Qin Muchu was thinking about it, but Bob thought that this was the meaning of refusal, gritted his teeth, and could only hold the old man out:

"Taylor is at an important stage in her career and we don't want any negative press to have a bad impact on her.

Your song is now very popular online, with nearly a million views.

She went for a drink because she was out of love, and then after hearing your song, she lost control of her emotions.

We want to work with you to create this song, make a music video for everything that happened, and release it ......"

Qin Muchu understood that he wanted to turn the accident into a story.

It's a bad thing to fall out of love and get drunk and play drunk, breaking the law.

But if you fall out of love, get drunk and go crazy, and write a nice song, that's a good thing.

Just like Li Bai also loves to drink, he wrote famous stories through the ages when he was drunk, but no one scolded him for being a dead drunkard, but praised him for his talent, which has become a good story that has been praised for thousands of years.

The idea is good, but it has something to do with me.

Qin Muchu stood up:

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in this, I don't know music myself, you two, I'll have something to do in a while."

"You don't understand music?"

Taylor looked at the man in front of him, his teeth creaked, and a pair of long legs were eager to aim between his legs.

How did you write this song without knowing music?

"Sir, we have a lot of sincerity, really."

Bob stood up, a little anxious.

This method is the best way he can think of to solve this matter, not only to eliminate the bad influence, but also to increase his fame through this wave of popularity.

"Sincerity? What sincerity? ”

Qin Muchu pursed his lips.

A singer, who is still an American singer, has nothing to do with him, what sincerity can he give.

"Money! We are willing to pay the highest price in the industry! Bob said immediately.

He was unwilling to give up any chance to convince Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu shook his head.

A good song can make a singer a lot of money, but it is very cheap to create a good song and sell it to a singer.

For example, "Blue and White Porcelain", if it was written by so-and-so, it was sold to Zhou Jiaolun, and it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

What can you do with this money?

"One million, we are willing to give one million!" Bob shouted.

"Sorry, I've never touched money, I don't have a ...... for money How much? Qin Muchu's words changed.

"A million!"

"Dollars?"

"Of course!"
