New York 2006

Chapter 233 Taylor is 19 years old
At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 2008, 12, Luo Ji and several classmates came out of the examination room and walked in the corridor of the teaching building, chatting animatedly.

A white male classmate who I am familiar with asked: "Logic, how was your test today?"

Luo Ji had a smile on his face, but he still said modestly, "It's just so so."

"What score do you think I can get?"

"At least ninety percent."

The white male classmate next to him suddenly shut up and stopped saying a word.

Another classmate hurriedly answered: "Logic, are you free tonight? There is a party at the New York University Film School. Let's go relax together after the exam. There are many beauties."

"I still have something to do, so I won't go. You guys have fun." Luo Ji said with a smile.

"Okay." The classmate opposite said helplessly.

Several people walked outside, and a strong cold wind hit them, and the snow in the sky danced with the strong wind.

Luo Ji was instantly chilled by the sudden change in temperature, and the good mood he had just finished the exam suddenly disappeared.

He wrapped his black down jacket tightly and walked towards the school parking lot with his head lowered.

…………

Blake was sitting in the car listening to music with the heater on when he saw Luo Ji running over from a distance.He quickly got out of the car, opened one side of the car door and said loudly: "Logic, come quickly, it's really too cold here."

Luo Ji quickly got into the car: "I'm so cold."

Blake walked to the other side and hurriedly got into the car, handing a towel to Luo Ji: "Hurry and wipe off the snow, don't catch a cold."

"it is good."

Luo Ji quickly wiped it with a towel. In just a moment, his body was covered with snowflakes, and his hair and eyebrows were all covered with: "What the hell is the weather this year? Why does it snow so early?"

"I don't know. In previous years, they only bloom at the end of the month." Blake turned back to look at Luo Ji in the back seat: "Where are you going today?"

"go home."

Blake started the car and said with a wicked smile: "Aren't you going to Max or Robin's today?"

"not going."

"Is your body unable to bear it?"

"I can't bear it anymore?" Luo Ji said angrily, "I just miss Sammy and the others."

"I don't believe it?" Blake continued with a smirk.

Jingle bell, jingle bell.Luo Ji's cell phone rang.

Luo Ji looked at Blake in the rearview mirror and said speechlessly, "Believe it or not, I'm too lazy to break up with you."

After Luo Ji finished speaking, he took out his cell phone and saw that it was Robin calling, so he picked up the phone.

"How are Diana and Ares today?"

"They've been working hard all day, so you should have a good rest tonight."

"Well, I won't go there tonight. I'll go home to see Sammy and the others tonight."

"Bye, mua."

…………

The car stopped in front of his house and Luo Ji got out of the car. The biting cold wind had disappeared, but the snowflakes from the sky were still slowly falling.

Luo Ji's mood improved a lot. He reached out his hand to catch the white snowflakes and held them in front of his eyes to look at them.

Unfortunately, the human body's temperature is too high, and the snowflakes melt and disappear in an instant.

"This brief crystal clear moment." Luo Ji murmured to himself.

"What are you thinking about? Come in quickly, it's so cold outside." Sammy opened the door and shouted to him.

"Here we come, Mom." Luo Ji smiled and walked in.

Entering the room, Luo Ji looked at Sami in surprise: "Hey, when did Robin come here?"

"She just came, didn't she tell you? She said you just talked on the phone."

Luo Ji said vaguely, "Maybe I forgot. Where is the child?"

"Upstairs, the nanny is taking care of her." Mother Sammy said and walked to the kitchen.

Robin obviously didn't mention that she was coming when he called just now. Could it be that she was here to check the situation?
Fortunately, I didn't go anywhere else today.

Robin came over with a towel, and she stepped forward with a smile: "Here, let me wipe the snow for you."

"Okay." Luo Ji smiled unnaturally at her: "Why are you here?"

"Of course I miss you." Robin smiled sweetly.While wiping the snow off his head, he continued: "Hurry up and take a bath later to avoid catching a cold."

"Yeah." Luo Ji nodded.

Since Robin had two children, her femininity has become stronger and stronger. Compared with her previous image of a manly woman, her whole person has become much gentler in an instant, and she has lost so much edge.

Robin helped him clean up and patted his shoulder: "Okay, go take a shower quickly."

"Ah."

Robin then looked at him with tenderness on his face, smiled and said, "Do you want me to go with you?" "Uh, no, no need."

…………

In Nashville, Tennessee, a hotel ballroom not far from Big Machine Records was booked, and all Big Machine employees and many of Taylor Swift's friends gathered together.

On the one hand, we celebrate Taylor's second album "Let Go and Love", which sold 12 million copies worldwide before December. On the other hand, today is Taylor's 780th birthday, so we just celebrate together.

The recently popular electronic dance music was playing in the banquet hall, and a dozen young people were gathering in the middle to dance to the music.

Liz Ross, who was already in her 50s, stood nearby and looked happily at Taylor, who was swaying her hair crazily to the music on the dance floor, and couldn't help but smile.

This year's global explosion of singers is due to her. In Taylor's entire album, except for three songs, Liz Ross participated in all other songs.

"Hi, Mom." Caitlin Rose smiled and walked up to her side holding a glass of brandy.

Liz Ross glared at her daughter: "Drink less."

"Know it."

Caitlin Rose quickly changed the subject. She looked at Taylor on the dance floor and said with envy: "I heard that Taylor might win the global record sales championship this year?"

Liz Ross nodded: "If nothing else happens, it should be her."

“How high will the sales volume be in the end?”

"Christmas is coming soon, and her album sales should see a surge. We predict that her albums this year should fall around 900 million."

Liz Ross was surprised and said: "So many?"

"Well, her album is selling very well." Liz Ross changed the topic and asked with a worried face: "By the way, how is your music in Logic? He didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

"No, he's very nice to me."

Caitlin Rose pointed to Austin Swift who was dancing with two girls on the dance floor: "Didn't you see that he had a good time on the set of "Twilight"? Logic is not like that people."

"That's good, then you can stay with his electronic music label. His electronic music strategy is very successful. Lady Gaga has become more popular than Taylor recently."

Caitlin Rose curled her lips and said sourly: "Lady Gaga is just lucky. Her success is all due to her exaggerated styling and hype, as well as the songs Logic wrote for her."

Liz Ross glared at her daughter: "Don't say that about your colleagues."

"She's not in the same record company as me."

"Huh?!" Liz Ross continued to stare at her daughter.

Caitlin Ross said impatiently: "I know, I know."

"How many sales did your album have?"

Caitlin Ross said with some distress: "The performance is not very good. It is estimated that it will reach 250 million by the end of the year."

"Isn't this good?!" Liz Ross continued: "Don't you know, very few new singers can achieve this result."

"I, of course I know."

Caitlin Rose took a sip of wine and continued gloomily: "It's just that when I think of Taylor and Lady Gaga, my results are nothing compared to them."

As an old man in the music industry, Liz Ross enlightened her daughter: "After all, there are only a few singers who can reach the top, one or two at most a year. The majority are those who have not succeeded. You must not be fooled by their achievements. Misleading. Compared to others, you are already very successful."

"I know."

Caitlin Ross then took her mother's arm and shook her: "Mom, can you also write a few songs for me? You have such achievements in writing songs for Taylor, and I want it too."

"Isn't it a good idea to combine your electronic music with country music? Why change it? Maybe you can create a style."

As someone who has experienced it, Liz Ross continued to advise: "Taylor's kind of "storyteller" country songs are only suitable for her. If you want to imitate her, it will only blur your style. I advise you not to have this idea."

"Really?" Caitlin Ross said uncertainly.

"Of course, I am your mother, can I still lie to you?"

Liz Ross continued: "Your debut album performed well, just stick to your own style. Logic is a genius, and now the performance of electronic music is getting better and better. He has created a new path for you, and you will definitely Don’t try to change.”

"I want to try your style!" Catherine Luo Ji continued.

Liz Ross paused for a moment and said solemnly: "In the music industry, only by creating new music styles will the success rate be high. If you try to imitate Taylor, you will only fail. If you think about Logic's electronic music label, the singers have a terrifying success rate of No matter how high it is, you will know whether I am right or not."

"Okay." Caitlin Ross said helplessly.

Liz Ross taught her daughter a lesson: "Don't be half-hearted. Why do you want to learn when you see others are good? What suits you is the best. I insist on you..."

Caitlin Ross was so annoyed by her mother that when she saw Taylor walking out of the dance floor when she was tired from dancing, she immediately walked up with a smile: "Hi, Taylor, happy birthday."

"Wow ah ah." Taylor immediately walked up excitedly when he saw her and gave her a big hug: "Catherine, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Catherine showed a big smile: "Congratulations, you got seven Grammy nominations."

"It's just so so." Taylor smiled shyly: "It's all because of everyone's love for me. How are you lately?"

"Very good, everything is fine."

Taylor pulled Catherine with a smile on his face: "Let's go, let me introduce some friends to you?"

"Who is there?"

"Just some people in the music industry and some of my friends." Taylor continued to introduce: "Abigail, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez..."
