Chapter 390 Play hard to get
"'I have no respect and no gratitude for people like this'."

After repeating the last words left by Mick Jagger in a low voice, Zhao Youzhen showed several shallow grooves between his eyebrows.

"I'm surprised that he would say such a thing in front of you, but from another perspective, if it was him who said such a thing, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

"Because he is a rock legend who is rich enough and doesn't need to make himself richer?" Han Yi asked with a smile.

"Because he is a narcissist who is conceited enough and cannot make himself more conceited."

Zhao Youzhen folded his hands on his chest. Although there was no obvious change in expression on his face, his voice sounded a bit duller than usual.

"Never liked the Stones."

"Me too." Madison Beale on the side agreed, "The Beatles are much greater than them."

"Without a doubt." Barbara Pavin, who was wearing sunglasses to protect herself from the harsh sunlight and with flames on her lips, exuded a different, bright and powerful aura, and her tone was very decisive in line with her current image. "The most overrated rock band ever."

"uh-huh."

"Thank you for protecting me, but..."

"I……"

Others had finished speaking. Xu Yiru could only raise her chin, widen her almond-shaped eyes, nod slightly, and use firm movements and expressions to express her attitude.

No matter how great you are, you are still a bastard.

The Hungarian supermodel can eloquently dictate a feature article on the topic of "Mick Jagger's influence on the modern fashion style of the 1960s", but cannot recite any of the Rolling Stones' classics.

Although this was a subtext that Yuzhen had figured out by herself, it was still very useful to her.

This game exploded.

Zhao Youzhen's softening of attitude made Han Yi's heart, which was hanging in his throat, finally calm down by half. From the early hours of yesterday to this afternoon, this passionate and hesitant young rich man has been living in his most fearful nightmare - several equally beautiful and equally tangled emotional lines converging over Las Vegas, with his most fearful nightmare. Unexpected ways are entangled together, pulled apart at the same time, and violently erupting at the same time.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get home, be good."

Not too heartless.

In fact, the four girls had no ill feelings towards the Rolling Stones and Mick Jagger. In fact, Zhao Youzhen, Xu Yiru and Madison all like the classics handed down from the golden age very much. Although Zhao Youzhen's favorites are Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, which are highly sought after by industry insiders, Xu Yiru is more fond of the lyrical rock of the Eagles and Bee Gees, while Madison Beer is quite dedicated and only The Beatles are regarded as the model, but their playlist also contains numerous golden songs by the Rolling Stones.

"Who's defending you?" Madison rolled her eyes, "I'm just stating the fact that the Beatles are greater than the Rolling Stones... it has nothing to do with you."

"Let's not speak Chinese...otherwise they won't understand."

"Actually, I don't want to say anything bad about him in front of you...hell, I don't even want to tell you about it."

Who made this old guy named Mick Jagger speak rudely to Han Yi?

No matter how corrupt the situation is, no matter how out of control, we have to bite the bullet and keep playing.

But only now did he realize how wrong he was.

Han Yi is not the male protagonist in Qidian's novels, but when faced with a situation where he would easily get offended no matter how he answered, he could only touch his nose and laugh twice.

"It has nothing to do with me." Xu Yiru sniffed, "Everyone has two people with them for breakfast. It would be too blind for me to go over there and ask for trouble."

The above passage is a relatively subtle and literary statement.

It doesn’t matter whether you are from the East Coast or Eastern Europe, a peninsula or a treasure island.

After confirming with the corner of his eye that Xu Yiru's mood had temporarily stabilized, Han Yi took a deep breath, turned back to English, and returned to the topic.

With her lips pursed slightly, she gave an answer that could barely satisfy the other party at a volume that only Xu Yiru could hear. Xiaoru still had a straight face and looked angry, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

Before Han Yi could comfort the four people, he was blocked by Madison.

This irreplaceability is a unique competitiveness that others can never imitate.

Speaking of this, Han Yi glanced across Zhao Youzhen's face and found that the other person's tense expression instantly became much more relaxed. She blinked twice quickly, indicating that she had received the signal released by Han Yi's words.

Apart from other things, "Start Me Up" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", how could anyone who likes the rock music of the 1960s not like these two songs?
As for Barbara Pavin, a layperson in the field of music appreciation, she didn't do much research on songs from before she was born. The music she is familiar with is usually those played repeatedly on commercial radio stations, or else it is traditional Hungarian folk songs. For her, the Rolling Stones can be described as "only seeing the person but not hearing the sound."

If he encountered this situation in the game, Han Yi would definitely press Alt+F4 without hesitation, take a sip of cold water to calm down his shock, and then restart the game directly. But unfortunately, this is reality, and it is a reality that he has already reopened once.

Han Yi once naively thought that as long as he did not choose a woman from Sichuan and Chongqing, he could escape the fate of being "bent".

Under the influence of this mentality, when Xu Yiru and Barbara Pavin finished their work and came to him one after another, Zhao Youzhen and Madison Beer also appeared in the booth area after Lil Yachty's performance. , Han Yi's heart was undoubtedly panicked and collapsed. It is self-contradictory, and it is also self-deprecating.

"The more you talk about it, the more exaggerated it becomes."

"You are quite concerned about whether they understand or not, Yi Yi, you are very considerate."

"I think... the reason why he said this was not to disrespect us, nor to close the door to cooperation with us."

"It seems that your symptoms are more serious than Mick Jagger, Yi." Barbara casually wiped her eyebrows with her fingertips and said lightly, "I appreciate your blind confidence."

What signal?
"I originally only wanted to tell you about work matters, but they didn't give us a chance to be alone, so I had no choice but to tell them in front of them."

Therefore, Barbara Pavin really doesn’t know and doesn’t care whether the Rolling Stones are the most over-rated band in the history of rock music.

There is a specialization in the art industry, which is clearly reflected in her.

If it were to be simpler and more straightforward, it could actually be summed up in four words:

"You don't need my protection." Zhao Youzhen snorted and switched to Chinese, "Aren't there already three people here?"

but……

At least he knew he had something to talk about back home.

Paradoxically, he felt that the big one was coming, but he also felt that the big one would not come down on such an occasion.

The one who regards death as home is...

Come early and come late. It’s coming anyway, so it’s better to die quickly.

However, at least so far, the situation is not as bad as Han Yi imagined. Yes, the air pressure around him was indeed quite low. The four girls were following him and confronting each other. Every glance was a sharp thorn piercing the opponent, and every conversation was full of war and gunpowder smoke.

But fortunately, these girls are decent people and have their own identities and images that need to be maintained. Therefore, the explosive scene that Han Yi was most worried about has not yet appeared. Not only that, in the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, the painting style of five people gathering together is quite harmonious.

The electronic music played by Nicky Romero on the stage was extremely exciting, and the decibels completely drowned out all the conversations in the venue. Standing a little further away, others could not hear their conversation at all, and could only see the smiles on everyone's lips.

Under the dazzling lights and the afterglow of the setting sun, no one can judge whether these expressions are true or false.

Therefore, Han Yi, who spent the first 30 minutes smoothly amid anxiety and uneasiness, began to try to actively guide the topic and use iconic figures like Mick Jagger to divert everyone's attention. Yes, that's right, it's not that Han Yi couldn't find a chance to be alone with Zhao Youzhen, so he talked about work in front of the other three girls.

In the world of a Scorpio man, there is no such thing as rashness.

It's all laid out like a maze of calculations and thoughts.

"What you want to say is that he is actually very interested in our proposal." Zhao Youzhen put his index finger to his lips and rubbed it repeatedly.

"Otherwise he would not be able to ask so many questions." Han Yi nodded and responded, "He is a smart man, and he can definitely hear how significant and far-reaching this project will be for the music industry. This will be his Career... no, it should be said that the biggest opportunity in business career is also the last opportunity. "

"So at the end of the conversation, his attitude became inexplicably tough because..."

Zhao Youzhen frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's the only way he's familiar with it."

"The only familiar method?" Madison was a little confused. "What method?"

"Methods of negotiation, ways to get more leverage for yourself."

Barbara took over and explained.

"Do you know Kate Moss?"

"of course I know."

“When she was filming a Calvin Klein commercial with Mark Wahlberg in the late 1990s, her disgust and disdain for Mark was clearly written on her face.”

"Before Boogie Nights or after Boogie Nights?" Madison asked.

"after."

"Shouldn't Mark's position be bigger than hers at that time? Or at least the same size, considering they were filming a fashion advertisement together."

"You're right." Barbara nodded, persuasive, "Then, why would she treat a collaborator who is at least the same level as her, a rising Hollywood star, with a cold face? You have Have you ever thought about this?"

"Because Kate wants to use this method to show her power." Xu Yiru, who listened carefully and thought carefully, answered before Madison, "Kate has no objection to Mark. She just needs to fire fiercely at a target. It was a way to emphasize that on the set of the fashion industry, Kate Moss is always above everyone else.”

"Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Tyra Banks, they are all known for being difficult and they profit from being difficult. They leave a deep impression on each other through the stimulation of negative emotions. , thereby gaining more chips for yourself.”

Barbara looked at Xu Yiru thoughtfully and said slowly.

"It's a strategy that supermodels would use...and I think rock stars would do the same thing."

"I thought it was just some people who were naturally mean and were motivated by money and status." Madison sighed, "It's really hard to believe that someone would use something like being a big name as a weapon... Can it work? I mean Yes, who would fall for this?"

"Too many people are falling for this."

Barbara's playful eyes shifted to Han Yi again.

"When faced with such a difficult big name, most people have only three ways to deal with it."

"First, if you don't want to accompany you, just retreat when the difficulties arise. In this way, the superstars will screen out those who do not have the strength to meet their needs, or those who do not have the patience to meet their needs, making subsequent cooperation more certain. Sex. After all, those who can hold their noses and endure it are the ones with the strongest willingness to cooperate, and they can do whatever they want.”

"Second, they are groveling and trying to flatter themselves. Many people in this world are naturally weak, and they become silent when they meet someone who seems to be strong, or they simply have a filter for celebrities and think that they are difficult to deal with. This group of people, The big names like it because it means they can capture more and bigger profits.”

"Third, suppress your anger and reluctantly cooperate. Generally, people who do this want to show their strength in cooperation and overpower the celebrities. Such people are more popular with big names."

"Why?" Madison asked eagerly.

"Provoking anger is the first step to manipulating someone."

Barbara raised her index finger and spoke word by word.

"I understand."

Maddie suddenly realized it and turned to look at Han Yi.

"So he's trying to manipulate us."

"I rely on..."

Han Yi was stunned and couldn't help but express his emotions in Chinese.

"Everyone, what we are talking about now is Mick Jagger's attitude towards me... towards me!" Han Yi pressed his chest, his tone was extremely aggrieved, "I am the victim!"

"I beg to differ."

Xu Yiru has a sweet smile and a soft voice.

"If you think about it from this perspective, I feel that you deserve all of this."

"Grace..."

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Han Yi turned his attention to Zhao Youzhen, hoping that the calmest and most rational person here could rescue him from the fire pit.

"I think so too." Zhao Youzhen added with a smile, "The man who uses emotions to control the situation is the most hateful."

It’s over.

You thick-browed guy has also rebelled.

Han Yi sighed helplessly.

Women are scary, and women with love rivals are even scarier.

Any seemingly irrelevant topic may become a minefield that is ready to explode.

We must definitely try our best to prevent these four giants from getting together again in the future.

After all, if he does this again, he will probably have to start again.

"The man in front of us is despicable, and the man who was not in front of us is equally despicable."

After giving Han Yi a hard look, Zhao Youzhen became the one to put on the brakes at the last moment, stopping the increasingly fierce criticism of the former and drawing everyone's attention back to Mick Jagger.

"It's clear that Jagger is manipulating your emotions to make you take him more seriously or to annoy him more. Whatever emotion you have, it's to his advantage."

"So, Yi, faced with this hard-to-get drama...what are you going to do?"
