America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM.

Chapter 321 319. The most touching performance, Avril is here

I've been reading books of old
I read old books

The legends and the myths
Those ancient legends and boundless mysteries
Achilles and his gold
Achilles and his spoils
Hercules and his gifts
Hercules and His Divine Powers
Ironman's control
Iron Man in control
And Batman with his fists
Batman's Iron Fist
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
I obviously can't be compared with them.
On the stage, as the low and soft background music sounded, Avril played the guitar and more than 20 kindergarten children swayed together.

One of the little boys and one little girl took the lead and sang in clear voices.

These children were all brought from Wendy's school and were in the same class or the same class as him.

After Eric assigned the task, everyone had been rehearsing for a week without telling Wendy.

For children, it is not necessary to sing very well or have perfect pitch. Just standing there is enough to make the best singers in the world pale in comparison.

This song "Something just like this" was co-written by Coldplay and The Chainsmokers, and it goes without saying how famous it is.

Countless people got to know the Chainsmokers through this song, and they have won numerous awards.

The melody of the song is very catchy, especially the prelude, which is like spring rain that can nourish the softest part of one's heart.

When Eric first heard it, he thought it was an interlude from a superhero movie.

After I understood the meaning of this song, I loved it very much.

As a famous song covered by countless people, "Something just like this" is both a song of the chain-smoker and has transcended the scope of the chain-smoker.

This is the type of singer who values ​​emotion over technique. As long as the singing is moving enough, it doesn't matter whether the voice is male or female.

This time, Eric sang the song for Avril, only slightly changing one word.

Just change Spiderman to Ironman, and it still rhymes in the English context and there is no sense of incongruity.

After all, Spider-Man 2 hasn't been released yet. I've spent so much effort on promoting it for you, right?
On the big screen, a close-up shot clearly shows little Wendy clapping her hands happily.

And called out the names of the two children who were singing: "Darren, Kaye!"

Many viewers couldn't help but smile. How can you describe that feeling?

I just feel warm and comfortable in my heart.

At this point, the first measure was finished and the remaining children opened their mouths at the same time.

Although the cohesive sounds lack brightness, they become more powerful and instantly lift people's hearts.

But she said where'd you wanna go
She said to me where do you want to go?
How much you wanna risk
How many more storms do you want to go through?

I'm not looking for somebody with some Superhuman gifts
I'm not asking you to be a super talented person.

Some Superhero Some fairytale bliss
No need to be super invincible, no need to be super beautiful

Just something I can turn to
I just want a shoulder to lean on
Somebody I can kiss
Someone I can kiss

I want something just like this
That's all I want
doo～～doo～～doo, doo～～doo～～doo
Wow!

CBS, NBC and Lionheart Network, three TV stations with close relations with MGM, broadcast the entire process live.

Many viewers in front of the TV couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The song is nice to listen to, and more importantly, it is meaningful.

As the children sang softly, Avril put down her guitar and picked up the microphone in front of her.

She also deliberately changed into everyday clothes today and only put on light makeup.

The moment he opened his mouth, his soft yet powerful voice reached everyone's ears.

I've been reading books of old
I read old books

The legends and the myths
Those ancient legends and boundless mysteries
The tests they told
The Old Testament They Orally Told

The moon and its eclipse
Full Moon, New Moon
And Superman unrolls A suit before he lifts
Superman unfolds his robe before flying
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
But I'm not the one who can wear it

As the song reached its climax again, little Wendy's parents walked onto the stage.

Seeing them, the child happily pointed at the choir in front of him, and Avril winked at him mischievously.

Wendy's father watched all this happily, while her mother had tears in her eyes, which she kept wiping with her hands.

They could never have imagined that something so big would happen just because they went to see a movie that day.

Tens of thousands of people are fulfilling their dreams for their children. This must be the fastest day since my son was born.

At this time, the performance had reached its final climax. Avril waved her hand, and a group of children immediately ran over and surrounded Wendy's family.

"Wendy, now you are a superhero, you must be brave!"

"I will, Missy!"

"Brother, I'll be waiting for you at school. I have a super cool toy for you to play with." said a black kid.

"What toy is that?"

"I can't tell you now. I have to wait until you recover. Well, actually, it's the new Transformers I bought. I have a complete set!"

"Wendy, this is for you. I made it myself over the weekend." A little girl took out a small box of cookies from her pocket.

"I've tried it, it's sweet and delicious, and my grandmother also said it's very well made."

On the big screen, a group of four or five-year-old children said the most touching blessings in the most innocent tone.

This scene moved countless people, and they felt as if their hearts were hit hard.

Although their noisy voices disrupted the singing, Avril's singing was mixed with a lot of noise.

But who would mind?
These children's voices not only do not make the song unpleasant to listen to, but on the contrary they elevate the song. You will never find a more real and moving scene than here.

It is conceivable that even if Avril releases a studio version in the future, even with the best equipment and the most powerful techniques, she will never be able to surpass this version.

Finally, this dream-fulfilling journey ended in excitement and touching atmosphere.

MGM did not deliberately show its presence. Eric himself did not show up, and did not even send a representative.

Because he didn't want to destroy the harmonious atmosphere on the scene, if he went up to say a few words in this situation, it would simply add a smell of money to this perfect journey.

Not only will it not produce any good results, but it will also arouse the disgust of some people.

People would say, "So you're not doing this for the children, you're doing it to promote the movie," "There are no good capitalists," "Children are just tools to be used," and so on.

This is also the reason why he looked for a charity organization in the beginning.

After the event is over, there will definitely be a large number of media outlets interviewing Wendy's family, and they will know what to say.

In addition, superheroes such as Iron Man and Captain America also made a big appearance, especially the physical version of the Iron Man suit made by the prop master, which will definitely attract the attention of a large number of young people and young men.

In Beverly Hills, Eric hugged Elizabeth and watched the entire live broadcast.

"That's great. We've done a great thing. Look at the state of little Wendy. He looks really happy."

"Helping others brings joy. When you help others, you feel happy. That's it."

"Is that why you like to participate in charity events?"

Eric chuckled, and several women shook their heads.

"Elizabeth, charity events are for others to see. If possible, I don't want to participate anyway."

"That's right, and you don't even know where the money you donated is used."

“Won’t the financial information be made public?”

"Do you believe it's public?"

"Uh"

Gadot painted Theron's toes with nail polish: "I've received another invitation, this Wednesday, in Seattle." "Then just show up, eat and drink, don't donate money," Elizabeth suggested.

Eric pinched her cheek and said, "That won't do. The money still needs to be donated, unless you are shameless like Ruby Lin."

"Ruby Lin, who is she?"

"A very strange female star who participated in charity events every year but never donated money. After being exposed, her reputation plummeted and she became a clown that everyone laughed at."

"No one wants to be friends with her, and no one wants to film with her anymore."

"Wow! Is it that serious? Fortunately, no charity event has come to me yet."

"By the way, look at little Wendy and the others, they are so cute. I want a baby too. Otherwise, we shouldn't use protection measures in the future."

Eric almost sprained his back because of Elizabeth's sudden turn of events.

Among all the women he has, only she does he have to take precautions when having sex with her, even though Ross said that the small umbrella has only a 97% success rate, but she still has to be worn.

If Elizabeth's belly gets bigger, the sky will really fall.

"Baby, you can't have such thoughts now. It's too early for you."

"I asked you to play Juno, not to really become Juno. Juno is not cool at all, okay?"

Ashley, Mary, Nicole, Theron and Gadot also advised that even if they couldn't get pregnant, the little ancestor couldn't get pregnant either.

If you get pregnant, the bastard next to you will never be able to get out without spending several years in jail.

If he goes in, what will we do? What will happen to this huge business empire? Those are all our assets.

"Okay, okay, I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously?"

"I'm not a child who doesn't know anything. I know the severity of the situation very well."

"It better be so!"

Nicole was still a little worried and said, "Next time you have sex, I have to be there to watch over you, just in case."

However, her plan was immediately exposed. Charlize Theron crossed her arms and teased, "I think you want it. Eric can't give it to Elizabeth, and you are right next to me, so I can give it to you. You are so cunning!"

"No way! I'm just doing this for everyone's good."

bell.
Ashley took the phone over: "It's Avril calling. It looks like she wants to thank you."

Eric coughed a few times when he found that the girls were looking at him scrutinizingly. "What are you doing? Why are you all looking at me like that? Hands-free, can't I turn on the hands-free mode and let you listen?"

"Hi, Ivy, it's me."

"Of course I know it's you. Why didn't you come to the event?"

"It's not appropriate. I don't want this activity to become utilitarian."

"Okay, so where are you?"

"I am home."

"It's noon. Let's have a meal together, at the same hamburger shop."

cough!
"Huh? Did I disturb you?" Avril asked when she heard Mary suddenly cough.

"No, what do you think about what we talked about last time?"

"I have an idea, so I need to talk to you in person. Of course, if it's not convenient for you, we can talk another day."

"OK, then wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Ashley pretended to sniff: "I seem to smell the scent of adultery."

"That store last time, which means this isn't the first time." Theron walked up to Eric and looked down at him.

Eric shrugged helplessly and rolled his eyes: "How can you look at me like that? You just heard it, right? We need to talk about business."

"Hehe! Who knows if this is the secret code you guys agreed on?" Nicole sneered.

"That's right. Otherwise, why would you give her such a beautiful song? There are many singers in the American Arts Institute." Gadot also raised the question.

"You have a problem, kid!" Mary also stood up.

Eric was in tears. I really wanted to do it, but I haven't done it yet. Is it the same as guarding against thieves?

He looked at Elizabeth, and the little girl nodded: "No matter what happens, I believe in you."

"See? This is the attitude a wife should have towards her husband. You all need to reflect on yourselves."

"How can we live together for a long time if we don't trust each other?"

"Come on, baby. I'll take you with me and let these women know that I will never do anything to let you down."

Avril was a little surprised to see the two of them appear together.

"Elizabeth is playing at my house, and she's hungry."

"Hello, Avril, I like your songs."

"Haha. I like your performance too. Order your food quickly, or I can recommend you the most delicious one."

The food was served quickly and the three of them ate and chatted.

"What do you want to tell me about that?"

Avril pulled out the half-eaten chicken drumstick and said, "Of course it's money. That's the most important issue."

"Money? What money?"

"Breach of contract fee? Didn't you say that if I change jobs, Meiyi will pay the breach of contract fee?"

Woo.Ou.
Eric quickly took a sip of Coke to clear the blockage in his throat.

"Ivy, are you really preparing?"

"Yeah! Now that you've made the decision, don't delay. This has always been my style. Do you think I'm kidding?"

"Well, I thought it was, but now I know it's not."

Little Elizabeth's eyes widened: "Avril, you want to work at Meiyi? You want to sign a contract with Meiyi?"

"Yes, Eric promised me that I can enjoy the best resources when I come to Meiyi, and he will also create a hit song for me. I think it's great."

"I have checked the liquidated damages, and it is about 2500 million US dollars. I personally cannot afford it anyway."

After saying that, she looked at Eric, and her meaning was very clear: Boss, it's your turn to express your opinion.

"Give me a few minutes."

Eric went to a secluded place, called Michael and told him about the current situation.

If it were any other record company, Michael would still be hesitant, after all, poaching people like this would be tantamount to breaking industry rules, but Avril is a Sony employee.

It's done!

It’s so cool to poach people from Sony.

Everyone knows the grudges between the two sides. If you have the guts, come to my house and dig it out.

Moreover, with the copyright in hand, Sony couldn't do anything to Meiyi, and had to swallow the anger even if it vomited blood.

Returning to his seat, Eric opened his arms in front of Avril's expectant eyes: "Welcome to Meiyi Records!"
