New York 2006

Chapter 101 Avril Lavigne

"Does anyone know a plot like this? When a girl was about to be hit by a car, a pale boy, who might have superpowers or some kind of supernatural power, suddenly appeared in front of the girl and blocked the collision with his bare hands. Car. This plot may come from a certain book, or a certain comic, or a certain video game, I don’t remember clearly.”

"If anyone knows the source, please tell me."

Three hours ago, Luo Ji used a relatively popular Reddit account to post a message on the forum asking for help. Now he has received various replies.

"I don't know. There are many plots like this. Superman, Batman, etc. all have plots like this."

"Yes, this kind of plot is very cliché, and there are many of it in superhero comics."

"There are a lot of them in video games, where you can catch a speeding car with your bare hands."

Luo Ji thought for a while and then added: "I remember that it happened in the parking lot of the high school campus. The sky was still relatively dark. After the boy blocked the car, a dent appeared on the car. The boy then disappeared, followed by the surrounding classmates. Everyone came up to care about the girl.”

After writing the post on his laptop, Luo Ji closed the computer and walked out of the study to the living room.

I found Taylor wearing a white dress and had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's go. The car is ready."

"Ok."

Taylor stepped forward in disgust and straightened Luo Ji's neck: "Look, you can't even wear a tie."

"Isn't this because of you?" Luo Ji said with a smile.

Taylor tidied it up and looked at it, then said with a happy smile: "Okay, it's very handsome, let's go."

The two took a car to the Chinese Theater on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which is very famous in Hollywood.

The architectural style is a combination of Chinese and Western, and it is adjacent to the Dolby Theater.Various movie premieres and the Oscars are held here.The theater square has the handprints and footprints of the world's best filmmakers.It is a famous tourist attraction in Hollywood.

Today's premiere of "[-]" will be held here. When Luo Ji took Taylor out of the car, all the media at the scene gathered around.

"Logic, Taylor, what do you two think about the Los Angeles County Superior Court judge's decision to cancel Britney's continued payment of her ex-husband's divorce attorney fees and grant Britney temporary custody of the children?"

Taylor held Luo Ji's arm intimately and told the media: "I am very happy that Britney can win. I am very happy. She is a role model for us women. The public should not treat her like that before. She is very strong. , she is the idol of our generation, and now she has been treated fairly, and I am really happy for her."

"Taylor, would you mind if Logic went to help Britney?"

Taylor smiled and said, "I don't mind at all. I'm glad that I met a man who is willing to lend a helping hand to his friends in times of crisis. This quality is very good, and Logic has done a very good job."

"Logic, what do you think about Britney?"

Luo Ji smiled and said, "I'm really happy for her too. I hope she will get better and better."

Britney's public opinion has completely reversed during this period. The media that used to scold her for being so cruel now treats her so well.Countless media outlets began to take action, hyping up Britney's motherhood, postpartum depression, being deprived of the right to see her children, and paying for the divorce lawyer fees of her scumbag ex-husband.

A Los Angeles County judge also overturned the unfair decision against Britney due to pressure from public opinion.She's doing very well now.

A reporter said: "Logic, I haven't heard from you in this period of time. What are you doing recently?"

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Today I'm here to attend the premiere of "The [-]". Please ask questions about it."

"So, Logic, what do you think of the movie?"

Luo Ji said: "This is the famous Battle of Hot Spring Pass. This battle itself is legendary, epic and tragic. Now it has been adapted into a movie by director Zack Snyder. His directing skills are top-notch, completely It’s worth seeing.”

Western orthodoxy lies in Rome, and most of Rome’s philosophical ideas, systems, and literature were inherited from ancient Greece.

The Battle of Thermopylae is a famous battle that took place in ancient Greece.This battle determined whether ancient Greece would be destroyed by Persia, the feud of the West.Therefore, this battle has extremely high historical and military significance in Western history. This battle determined the historical trend of the Western world to some extent.

"Tyler, what do you think?"

"Logic and I agree that this battle will determine the direction of Western civilization..."

After the two were interviewed, they walked into the theater.The director of the crew and a group of actors stood at the door to greet them.

Luo Ji smiled and greeted them, chatted for a while, and then led the heroine Lena Headey to their seats.When they arrived at the place, Luo Ji discovered that director Francis was sitting nearby.

Lena Headey stepped forward and said: "Hello, Director Francis. Director Zack Snyder asked me to thank you for inviting so many people to support me today."

"Tell him you're welcome."

Lena Headey said: "If it's okay, I'll leave first. Where else do you need me?"

"Okay. Go and do your work!"

Lena Headey looked at a few people with a smile: "Logic, Taylor, Keanu, Billy, then I'll leave first."

"bye."

After Lena Headey left, Francis walked up to the two of them with a smile and said.

"Come on, Logic, let me introduce Taylor to you. This is Keanu Reeves, and this is Billy Joel, the lead singer of Green Day..."

Francis made a round of introductions, and except for Keanu Reeves, most of the others were from the music industry.Keanu Reeves greeted warmly: "Hello Logic, your music is great!"

"Hello, I also really like your movie "Constantine"."

Keanu Reeves' most famous movie must be The Matrix, but "Constantine" was directed by Francis, so it's perfectly normal to talk about this movie on this occasion.

"The main reason is that Director Francis shot it well." Keanu said.

Francis pretended to be angry and said: "I won't be proud even if you flatter me like this."

"Hahaha."

The few of them chatted for a while, mainly about some of the big projects currently underway in Hollywood, and Francis spoke.

"In recent years, with the "Spider-Man" series of movies, "Fantastic Four" and "X-Men" series of movies, they have achieved great success without relying on superstars to drive the box office. Hollywood has recently set off a craze in adapting superhero movies. Paira Monte is preparing to adapt "The Hulk," Warner is preparing to adapt "Batman," and even Marvel, which draws comics, is also preparing to adapt "Iron Man."

Keanu Reeves said: "Yes, there have been more and more adapted movies in recent years, but fewer and fewer original movies."

Taylor said: "The most successful film adaptations in recent years are the "Lord of the Rings" series and the "Harry Potter" series. My favorite movie is Harry Potter."

Francis smiled and said: "Yes, there are some other successful movie adaptations, the "Bourne" series adapted from novels, the "Mission: Impossible" series adapted from TV series, the "Men in Black" series adapted from comics, and game adaptations The Resident Evil series. These are all very good.”

Luo Ji nodded thoughtfully. It looked like the series of movies was very promising. As long as the first step was successful, and the quality would be above the passing mark, it would definitely make money.

"Hello, Director Francis, am I late?"

Luo Ji looked up and saw that it was Avril Lavigne. She had also been invited by Francis to come to support him.Francis spoke.

"It's not too late. Why are you here alone today? Where is your husband Derek?"

Avril frowned and said with a smile: "He has something to do, so I'm the only one here today."

Luo Ji wanted to laugh when he saw Avril with smoky make-up. After holding it for a while, he finally couldn't help it anymore. He quickly put his hand on his mouth and pretended to cough.

Francis asked with concern: "Logic, are you okay?"

Luo Ji tried his best to cover up: "Ahem, cough, cough, it's okay. I'm fine."

Francis said: "Then let me introduce you, this is Avril, I believe you all know her. She came to Los Angeles during this period to shoot the MV for "Girlfriend", and she found my company, so I just invited her to participate in this event. Premiere.”

"Hello, Avril Lavigne." Taylor walked up to Avril Lavigne and greeted her warmly, and soon they started chatting together.

Avril Lavigne released the single "Girlfriend" last week, which went straight to No. 6 on the Billboard.This was nothing at first, but Luo Ji accidentally heard that in addition to English, she had also released remixed versions of this song in seven different languages.Including the Chinese version.

Luo Ji became interested at that time and listened to the Chinese version. After listening to it, his first reaction was, this is not a prank, the Chinese version can be described as spicy.

It was not until Luo Ji later confirmed again and again that it was indeed a Chinese remixed version sung by her herself. From then on.In her mind, Avril Lavigne is a rebellious girl with androgynous style, smoky makeup and singing punk rock, and she will never go back to that.From then on, she became a comedian in Luo Ji's eyes.

Taylor said: "Avril, your "Girlfriend" is great, the melody is very nice."

Avril Lavigne said: "Hahaha, thank you, Taylor, I didn't expect you to like my songs. You know you are a girl who sings country songs. I thought you wouldn't like my songs."

"Hahaha, how could it be? You are my idol. When I was a child..."

Avril Lavigne herself is very beautiful, with the delicacy of a French beauty, and her appearance is very in line with Eastern and Western aesthetics.

She is such a beautiful girl. She wears neutral clothes and big smoky makeup. With her background as a punk rock singer, she creates a cool image on stage, giving the public the impression of a "bad" girl who is always dragging her feet. image.

Although her image is designed like this, in reality Avril Lavigne is very low-key, doesn't mess around, and is very polite to others.

Therefore, she has gained a large number of fans who are good boys and good girls from middle-class background.Taylor also liked her as a child.Her "bad" girl image is also very popular in the social environment of East Asia.This influence caters to the rebellious psychology of teenagers.

Taylor said: "Feili, come here and let me introduce you to her. This is Avril."

Avril stretched out her hand enthusiastically: "Hello, Logic, I like your music very much. It has a sense of maturity that transcends age, and the melody is also very good."

Luo Ji said seriously: "Hello, Avril, I also like your "Girlfriend" very much, especially the Chinese remixed version, it's very nice."

"really?"

"Of course." Luo Ji said seriously, "If you sing in an environment with Chinese people in the future, you will definitely be warmly welcomed."

Avril nodded seriously: "Okay, I will. Thank you for your advice, Logic."

"You're welcome," Luo Ji said, suppressing a smirk.

Avril Lavigne said: "By the way, I heard that you will hold a concert in Los Angeles in a while?"

"Yes."

"Then remember to save some concert tickets for me. My sister likes you very much."

Luo Ji smiled and said, "OK!"
