"Sister just came back from Hongkou Gymnasium, hahaha, tell you, not going to Angela's concert will definitely be the biggest loss in your life! You don't know what you missed! Have you ever seen Angela holding a pipa, wearing a black wig and black contact lenses and singing "Laughing at the Red Dust"?! Have you ever seen Angela throwing her sleeves and singing Peking Opera and singing a drunken concubine!
Oops, what a pity that you can even miss such a grand event.
That's right, sister is here to show off, you didn't say 'it's just a concert, there's something to see', sister is here to tell you, it's much more beautiful than you think! Forget it, sister is not here to talk to you people, so as not to say what I am doing. In addition, according to the gossip, Angela will be interviewed by Dragon TV tomorrow or the day after, and those who are willing to go remember to contact me! "
This is a post on the entertainment version of a well-known website. After it was posted, it was quickly submerged. After the concert, similar posts began to occupy the forums of major entertainment websites, some sharing joy, some showing off their power, some discussing talents, some quarreling, etc., as if not doing so is not enough to vent their hearts of excitement.
After all, many foreign stars have come to Shanghai for concerts in the past few years, and they will also say hello in half-baked Chinese. Who can communicate in Chinese and sing all kinds of things like Angela? Chinese songs? What's more, Angela's identity is much higher than those of ordinary stars.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that Angela's popularity in China will rise to an astonishing height. I have to say that the Chinese people’s desire to be recognized is too strong. A little bit of kindness shown by others will immediately be magnified tenfold, and then turned into gratitude. Of course, if you feel betrayed, the hatred will also be magnified tenfold. times.
Well, these have nothing to do with Angela. For her after the concert, returning to the hotel and hugging Natalie to sleep well is what she should do. Although three concerts have been held, and although I was mentally prepared for possible fatigue during the rehearsal, after the official performance, I still have the feeling that I want to be paralyzed on the ground.
In addition to ensuring that all kinds of tricks are perfectly displayed, the mental pressure is also much greater than other concerts. After all, in Angela's heart, concerts in China are different from other concerts, even if she has cut off the past.
"Anyway, the concert has been successfully completed, so let me kiss one now!" Although she was very tired, Angela, who returned to the hotel, still hugged Natalie and started making out. Judging from the live atmosphere, the concert was still very exciting. If she succeeded, she didn't spend so much effort in vain, and it was time to relax after being tired for so long.
But Natalie obviously didn't intend to make Angela too relaxed, and she was put into a petrified state in one sentence: "You are wearing a wig and contact lenses to perform on stage, do you want to stop wearing disguise and go to the street in the future? "
"Well... um..." Angela was stunned for a long time, her face twitched indefinitely for a long time before complaining in frustration: "Why didn't you say it earlier! After rehearsing for so long, you have a chance!"
Natalie's forehead suddenly jumped up, she stared at her for a long time before gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Why did I say it earlier?! I thought you already had an arrangement, you have been rehearsing for so long, didn't you even have this? Have you thought about it?!"
Angela opened her mouth for a long time and couldn't say anything, and finally fell on the bed with a whimper, kicking and kicking in a small temper.
Natalie rolled her eyes, too lazy to comfort her, turned and went to the bathroom. After the sound of rushing water came from inside, Angela, who was crawling on the bed and covering her face, stopped complaining, her eyes suddenly opened and a gleam of light flashed, she suddenly jumped up and rushed into the bathroom like a whirlwind, and then the sound A series of sounds.
"Damn it! Angie! You're here again! Can't you just let me take a good shower!"
"Hee hee, who told you not to lock the bathroom door? Okay, it's not that we haven't washed together."
"Stop...stop! You...you make me...oh...oh...don't be like this..."
"Tsk tsk, don't do this on your mouth, your hands never stop, where are you pinching?"
"Damn... not because... you said... oh... you promised..."
"Of course, of course I promised you, so... we have a whole night..."
Although she was obsessed with making the Shanghai concert extremely special and perfect, Angela made a big mistake for herself, but she quickly put this problem behind her. Anyway, no matter how much you regret it, it’s useless. Besides, you don’t necessarily wear wigs and contact lenses when you dress up on the street. There are still many ways to cover up, but they are more troublesome than wigs and contact lenses. So, it is more practical to linger with Natalie.
The Shanghai concert has the same sensational effect as the Tokyo concert, even more than the Tokyo concert. At least Angela did not wear a kimono to sing Noh or Kyogen in the Tokyo concert. After Dragon TV, which had obtained the exclusive broadcast rights, broadcast some of the footage the next day, those screeching voices died down temporarily. Although they would come out sooner or later, at least they could only disappear strategically for now.
Just like when she was in Japan, Angela also accepted the invitation for an exclusive interview. This time the program was an interview with Yang Lan of Dragon TV. Like most interviews, talk about life, career, and a variety of feelings. Of course, since we are talking about Angela's impression of China here, for example:
"What's your impression of Peking Opera?"
"Well... This is an artistic image with Chinese characteristics, which is similar to opera in many aspects. Its English name is literally translated as Beijing Opera, but... Frankly speaking, because of cultural differences, I often don't understand what actors are singing. What - it's not that I don't understand the meaning, it's that I don't understand why it is sung in this way."
"But you showed off a Peking Opera voice at the previous concert, didn't you?"
"Yes, but there are only a few lines. The whole song is actually adapted from Peking Opera, which is different from the real Peking Opera. I think it will be very pleasant to combine some classical things and popular things just right."
"It is said that you spent a lot of time to get this song, is that so?"
"That's right, in Chinese words... Signed a lot of unequal treaties, I like this song, I think it's worth it."
"Among Hollywood stars, you are probably the only one who can speak Chinese so well. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to communicate with others fluently in foreign languages, but you can even understand a lot of common sayings and slang, which must be in the same language. You have to live in the environment. Can you tell us how you did it?"
"Probably because I used to go to Chinatown with my grandmother when I was a child, but it was easy to confuse Cantonese and Mandarin at that time, and my grandmother corrected it many times. Her Chinese is very good, and she is half Chinese."
"Really?!"
"Yes, although my grandmother didn't tell me in detail, I think she was born in China, because she spent some time at Jinling Women's University when she was a child, and she still has a vague impression of Nanjing."
It's no wonder that Yang Lan is so surprised. For a long time, no matter where the media introduced Angela's family, the focus was on her parents and grandfather. As for her grandfather, she would only mention it occasionally. This is of course because the relationship between the Albert family and the British royal family is inextricably linked and worthy of speculation, and the means that Grandpa used in it also contributed.
So about her one-eighth Chinese ancestry, there are so many rumors but never confirmed. And now Angela personally confirmed this on the talk show, one can imagine how much sensation it will cause.
But for Americans, this is not a big deal. Anyway, the signboard of the United States has always been a melting pot of nationalities. Besides, Angela is an American no matter how you look at it, so the most exciting thing is the Chinese, and even this will become the future. When discussing which is more gorgeous, the Shanghai concert or the Tokyo concert, it is a weapon to fight with the Japanese.
Well, these are all things to come later. Although Miss Yang expressed her surprise, she was just right. The topic of chat quickly turned to career. After talking about movies and music, it turned to business. Come.
"I really have no talent, but I was very optimistic about the IT industry at the beginning." Angela still answered this way.
After a few sentences, Yang Lan casually asked her if she had browsed the Chinese website. After Angela gave a positive answer, she suddenly became interested.
"Can you tell us which websites are there?" she asked curiously.
"Many, but most of them are community-based websites," Angela replied, with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "and I have registered an account and posted on many websites."
"Really? Can we take a look?" said Yang Lan, who was interested.
Angela naturally would not disagree, so she demonstrated it on the spot, and deliberately turned over the post that introduced herself in a large community. The result... Because it is a live broadcast, Yang Lan can't interfere with anything, and in the end can only watch Those replying posts embarrassedly said something like "netizens are generally a little impulsive" to cover up the past.
However, although the show was covered up, it caused an uproar on the Internet. At first, almost no one believed that the guy with the ID "Angela Mason" was really the big star on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. Most of the comments were on Spray, a few are quite vicious. Although Dragon TV switched the camera in a timely manner during the broadcast, the post remained there and was not deleted. As a result, the community was once blocked by the influx of visits, and even the page could not be displayed. And the post that was sprayed for more than a dozen pages was sprayed for dozens of pages - of course, the back is all the people who sprayed people in front.
Such a scene directly leads to two consequences. The first is that most of the IDs who have sprayed Angela have never appeared again - but some thick-skinned people are everywhere, and they even sprayed that with "I have sprayed that one." How can you be proud of the women you fools worship, but every time you post, people will quickly occupy the sofa, bench, basement, and watch for hours with peanuts, soda, and melon seeds.
The other is, so the Chinese community forum ID under the name of "Angela Mason" has sprung up like mushrooms, and even spread to several Chinese communities and forums outside China. In the end, Angela had to log in to the community where she had logged in on the show, and posted a post saying that she had not registered with this name in other Chinese forums or communities, except for the places mentioned in the show, and she will also use this name in the future. I will no longer log in to these registered forums and communities, even if they marked and dealt with the ID "Angela Mason" in the first place.
Well, these are just things to talk about later, although such an incident happened in the middle, but with the surprise appearance of preparations, everything was back on track. This was an out-and-out surprise. Angela never imagined that these people from Dragon TV would find the students from the music college who listened to her playing the guitar and singing "White Fox" by the West Lake ten years ago, although there were only three , four and Angela didn't recognize any of them, but it was enough to surprise her.
"Although I didn't agree to take pictures with them at the beginning, the tourists around me took a lot of pictures. Those were the ones that circulated on the Chinese Internet last year. It just so happened that a staff member of Dragon TV was one of those college students, so I agreed to it. After the show, I secretly invited a few people," Angela said to Natalie after returning to the hotel after the interview, "I couldn't help thinking, if you were there then, it would be perfect."
"Why?" Natalie raised her eyebrows, "Because I was there ten years ago? Maybe you should ask them to visit the embankment of West Lake."
"Okay, Nat, I just feel a little bit, time flies so fast, it's been ten years in the blink of an eye." Angela stretched her waist in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and turned to look at the people on the sofa. Natalie, she took a few steps over and hugged Natalie, sat on the sofa, and hugged Lou Lou tightly in her arms.
Natalie didn't struggle, instead she wrapped her arms around Angela's neck and stared at those emerald green eyes.
"Everything seems to have happened yesterday," Angela stroked her smooth face, "I still remember... at that time because... because... and didn't care about your feelings... "
"Are you trying to apologize for what happened ten years ago?" Natalie chuckled.
Angela pouted: "I'm not kidding, Nat, I'm just thinking... If you weren't there then... What would I be like now... "
Natalie pursed her lips, put her head on Angela's shoulder and sighed softly: "I still remember how crazy and beautiful you were at that time, you grabbed me like a drowning person grabbing At the last straw... I can't refuse your request, any request, like the kiss in the police station bathroom, which is probably... doomed..."
The two didn't speak anymore, hugging each other and feeling each other's warm body, and after a long while, Angela said softly again: "I love you, Nat."
"I love you too, Angie," Natalie replied in the same voice.
The broadcast of the talk show has undoubtedly made Angela's popularity in China even higher. In the next few days, various discussions denounced the media, the Internet, the streets and alleys, and various schools. Dragon TV even launched a special program "Angela and China", which introduced the various connections between Angela and China in detail, and the ratings skyrocketed a lot.
The most interesting thing is that some celebrities in the cultural world have also linked themselves to Angela in various ways - such as hype or fair criticism - the word hype is no longer for the Chinese. strangeness.
Of course, no amount of criticism will involve Rabe Diaries, because Angela is American and not just a star or director, and these people are very realistic in this regard.
Moreover, many Chinese advertisers also came to visit and wanted to invite her to advertise as an image spokesperson. Although they all knew from the peers on the Pacific side whether Angela would agree to fully look at her mood, they still kept going. send invitation. In their opinion, Miss Angel loves Chinese culture so much, so it is possible for Aiwu and Wu to accept the invitation, even if the probability is very small, if she agrees, it will make a lot of money.
It's a pity that the miracle did not happen. Angela doesn't even care about those advertisers in the United States. How can they care about this side? Except for the Barbie dolls and Chanel angel perfumes launched in her image and name, the products she endorses are only apples. of the I-series products. Even so, Angela still wants to give up the image spokesperson of the I series. If she is not Apple's major shareholder and Jobs's repeated persuasion, I am afraid she would have quit. Isn't it just 20 to 30 million dollars in endorsement fees, and it's not as good as Google earning more than a dollar in the stock market.
Although Angela doesn't care about these things, she finds it very troublesome. Originally, after each concert, she would have a good time with her lover for a few days, but because of these things, she can only stay in the hotel and can't go anywhere.
"It's okay, just have you by your side." Natalie comforted her.
But before leaving Shanghai, Angela finally seized the opportunity to slip out of being surrounded by Chinese Fans, and then ran to Hangzhou with Natalie to revisit the old place.
It was a relatively pleasant time to revisit the old place this time, although Angela could see that Natalie wanted to ask her a few times what made her so desperate, but she didn't speak up in the end. But when Angela tentatively asked, Natalie, who understood, just smiled and didn't answer.
Angela was puzzled, but she didn't think much about it. It was over and she was cut off, so let these become a mystery.
The ending of Revisiting the Old Land was neither very good nor bad. When she was about to leave West Lake, Angela was unfortunately recognized. Naturally, being watched and being chased was inevitable, and what was even worse was that there happened to be several entertainment reporters nearby who didn’t know who they were interviewing. Fortunately, there are also 7 or 8 fans of Angela's China Support Association. These young men and women formed a circle outside the bodyguards to block the reporters who heard the news, so that Angela has been sent. Just get in the car. In the face of this group of lovely people, Angela did not stingy with her smiling face.
