Chapter 255 Shura Field

(big chapter)
At Warner Bros. Burbank Video Studio, Luo Ji, Allen, and several Ellen Show employees were discussing the script.

Ding ding, Luo Ji's phone rang suddenly. He looked at a few people apologetically: "Sorry, I'm going to answer the phone."

Allen smiled kindly: "Logic, it's okay, go pick it up."

As the daytime talk show with the highest ratings in the United States second only to "The Oprah Show", with such high ratings, the staff of The Ellen Show feel confident in speaking to the celebrities who come to promote their show.

An employee said: "Logic is a little uncooperative. What the audience wants to know most is whether he wrote "Someone You Loved" and "Let Her Go" for Taylor, but he didn't let this plot appear at all. in our program.”

Another employee echoed: "It's just that every celebrity comes to please us and try his best to cooperate with us, but he makes all kinds of demands."

As the host, Allen was not angry at all: "Logic is different from others. He is no longer a simple star. We still have to give him face."

The employee who just started complaining said angrily: "He has such a bad reputation, and he didn't come to our show to promote his second album."

At this time, an employee tapped his shoulder and motioned for him to look at Logic, who was answering the phone outside the room.

Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav is greeting Logic warmly.However, Logic had no intention of hanging up the phone. He pointed to the cell phone he was talking on.

CEO David Zaslav was not angry and signaled that they would chat for a while.After saying that, he walked into the room.

All the employees of the Ellen Show stood up and said hello: "Hello, boss."

CEO Zaslav nodded: "Is the preparation for Logic's program going well today?"

An employee hurriedly said: "Everything is fine, nothing went wrong."

"That's good." CEO Zaslav said, still a little worried: "If Logic has any requirements, you will try your best to cooperate, you know?"

Allen nodded: "I will."

CEO Zaslav asked: "What topics have been planned for today?"

An employee said: "Today's discussion mainly revolves around Logic's second professional, divorce cases, and personal income last year."

CEO Zaslav asked curiously: "Logic was not very willing to discuss his wealth in the media before. Why has he changed his gender now?"

Allen said: "Maybe because there is nothing to talk about, he is very reluctant to talk about the inspiration for the songs on his second album."

CEO Zaslav spread his hands and said with a smile: "Does this need to be said? People in the United States know that those two songs were written by him to his ex-girlfriend Taylor. However, I originally thought he would have a battle with Taylor. , I didn’t expect it to be written so affectionately.”

"Hahahaha." Everyone laughed happily.

CEO Zaslav exclaimed: "Logic is really a genius. For others, two or three good songs in one album are the best, but every song in his second album can become the title song!"

Allen looked at Luo Ji outside and said, "Indeed, he can always compose beautiful melodies. I really want to open his head to see how he does it."

An employee hurriedly said: "Alan, this sentence can be added to the script."

"Hahaha, indeed." Everyone laughed.

…………

The room was filled with laughter and laughter, but Luo Ji was not in much of a mood. He was a little worried about the divorce agreement news this morning.

At this time, Luo Ji was talking to Braun on the phone: "Have you found out? Who leaked the divorce agreement between me and Robin."

"Not yet!" Braun continued: "However, I have a guess. With your instructions, we have done a good job of keeping secrets here. There are only a few insiders. It is impossible for anyone to dare to leak this against your order." . Most likely it’s people from the court. You know, in capitalist countries, as long as you have money, government departments are like brothels, they can get anything.”

Luo Ji said coldly: "Then can we find out who in the court specifically leaked the information?"

"It's difficult. There are too many people handling divorce documents. These government employees also know the seriousness of the matter. They will not take away the original documents. They only need to secretly take a photo or remember the contents. It is impossible to leave any clues. of."

"Then which court should we sue?" Luo Ji still couldn't swallow his breath.

"This is back to square one. You have to prove that it was leaked by the court. But we have no evidence." Braun said: "Logic, I don't recommend you do that. It's normal for the divorce agreement to be leaked by the court. The top wealthy people often make some noise in the media because of their divorce documents."

Luo Ji said dejectedly: "My relationship with Robin has been changing a lot in the past few days, and suddenly this happened. Even if I help her clarify, I guess many people will look at her strangely."

Braun sighed: "Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Women approach celebrities for money. There are too many cases like this in the United States. When people hear that you paid 4700 million yuan for a three-month marriage, their first impression is Robin must be here for the money. And first impressions are hard to change."

Luo Ji complained: "It's all because Jamie said that he would file the real documents with the court so that there wouldn't be any subsequent problems. We can obviously resolve it privately."

Braun quickly explained for his friend: "What Jamie said does make sense. Only notarized documents are legally binding. Robin did not make any demands for divorce, but people's hearts are fickle, and they are the most unbearable. As for the test, there may be no problem in one, two or three years, but as time goes by, if Robin changes his mind in the future and makes some unreasonable demands, the outcome will be even worse."

Of course Luo Ji knew what he said was right, but he was a little troubled: "I won't tell you anymore, I'll hang up now."

…………

As British actors, Carey Mulligan and Dalulla Riley have filmed "Pride and Prejudice" and "Doctor Who" together.

Although the two have collaborated twice, their relationship is not that close. They are just strangers who have met twice and have not contacted each other since the filming ended.

But fate is so wonderful.

Carey Mulligan came to Hollywood this year to work hard. By chance, she auditioned and not only became the heroine of Logic's music video, she also got a record contract with an electronic music record.

And Dalula Riley, because she is Musk's girlfriend, she is very familiar with Logic, and she also successfully became an actor in "Westworld" and "Deus Ex Machina".

After she learned that Mulligan came to the United States, she reconnected with him and soon became good friends who talked about everything.

As for the two people having a normal relationship before, but now they have become good friends, it is still because of their sense of belonging.

Although the British and American cultures are similar, there are still some differences. Living in a foreign country will always feel a bit strange. Now that I meet a fellow countryman, the distance between the two has become much closer in an instant.

On Valentine's Day, Musk went to work, leaving Dalula alone in the big house. She felt very bored, so she dialed Mulligan's number.

Dalula lay on the bed and asked, "What are you doing?"

"I just went downstairs to buy a cup of coffee." Mulligan on the other end of the phone took a sip of coffee, frowned and curled his lips: "It's been more than two months, and I'm still not used to it. I prefer drinking tea."

Dalula immediately nodded in agreement and said with British arrogance: "I have never been used to American coffee. I don't understand why American people like this drink so much. It doesn't taste good at all."

"Let's get used to it. They've been drinking this since they were young." Mulligan seemed to be awake and spoke a little weakly.

Dalula suddenly said with a little excitement: "Did you see the news about Logic this morning? He actually paid 4700 million yuan for a marriage of only three months."

"I saw it." Mulligan said a little disappointed.

Dalula heard her friend's mood: "What's wrong with you? You sound a little unhappy."

Mulligan began to complain: "Logic was very attentive to me some time ago and often invited me to dinner and chat. But he has not contacted me even once in the past few days."

"Impossible!" Dalula said in surprise: "Last time the four of us had dinner together, I saw that Logic took great care of you, and he obviously has a crush on you!"

Mulligan said depressedly: "I don't know why he has changed so much."

"Could it be that you were too reserved and didn't respond to his love?"

"He has never confessed to me at all, how should I respond!" Mulligan said with some unconfidence: "Maybe it's my misunderstanding. He may not like me at all, he just cares about ordinary employees."

Dalula also began to doubt her own judgment: "Would you like me to help you ask him to see if he likes you?"

"Don't!" Mulligan quickly refused and said nervously: "I am now an employee under him. If I get a bad answer, I don't know how to face him in the future. Maybe he thinks I He is a self-indulgent person."

Dalula thought for a while: "I can ask him in a joking tone."

"Are you so familiar with him?"

"Um... not bad." Dalula then suggested: "Maybe I can ask Musk to ask for you. The two of them have a very good relationship. They talk about everything. They are very good friends."

Mulligan said with some anticipation: "Is this okay?"

"Of course." Dalula said confidently: "I will give Musk an explanation. Just say what I want to ask, and I will never expose you."

…………

In the afternoon, after recording "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Luo Ji walked out of Warner Studios and was immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters.

"Logic, how do you feel about your second album selling 123 million copies in one day yesterday, breaking the sales record in the United States?"

Luo Ji: “Thank you very much for your recognition!”

"Logic, did you write "Someone You Loved" and "Let Her Go" for Taylor? Do you still miss her?"

Luo Ji: "Next one!"

"Logic, about your ex-wife?"

Luo Ji: "The 4700 million yuan is my child support, and she didn't ask for a penny."

"Logic, is it true that your personal income in 2008 exceeded US$3.6 million just from "The Twilight Saga"?"

Luo Ji: "It's true, the number is very close!"

"Logic, about your relationship?"

……

The interview lasted for more than 20 minutes. After Luo Ji picked some questions that people were concerned about recently and that he was willing to answer, he was escorted by two bodyguards to the Amoeba Record Store on Sunset Boulevard, where he would give a brief interview. Performance, promotion of second special project.

As soon as Luo Ji got in the car, his personal cell phone rang: "Good afternoon, Musk!"

"Good afternoon." Musk said with a smile: "Do you have time tonight? How about you, me, Dalula and Mulligan, the four of us get together?"

"What do you think? You asked Mulligan and I to accompany you couple on Valentine's Day."

Musk said with a smile: "Hey, I'm creating an opportunity for you! When we got together last time, I saw that you liked Mulligan, didn't you?"

"What the hell! How did you know that I like her?"

Musk said: "Then you were so attentive to her before."

Of course, the real purpose cannot be said.Luo Ji made an excuse and said, "I think it's not easy for a little girl to come to the United States to work hard by herself. If I take care of her a little, it's just too courteous! What's more, she is a singer under my banner."

"Do you really not like it at all?"

"Everyone likes beautiful women, but it's not the kind of love you understand?" Luo Ji then complained, "I'm busy here, so I won't tell you."

"Don't hang up yet!" Musk got down to business: "Next month I will submit Tesla's loan application to the U.S. Department of Energy, and I will need your help then."

Obtaining low-interest loans from the government to maintain Tesla's operations was Luo Ji's original plan when he fully acquired Tesla.After becoming the second largest shareholder, he handed over this strategy to Musk, and it didn't seem to be going very smoothly.

Luo Ji complained, "I've introduced the new Minister of Energy, Steven Chu, to you, and you still can't figure it out?"

"Things are not that simple. There are too many links that need to be opened." Musk continued: "This government is the Democratic Party, but most of my relationships are with the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party knows too few people."

Musk became very close to the Republican Party during the Bush administration because of SpaceX.

But as an emperor and a minister, President Barack will naturally kick out the Republicans and replace them with Democrats after taking office.NASA Administrator Griffin, who worked closely with Musk, was also replaced.

Luo Ji thought for a moment: "Okay, I will send you the phone number of my political adviser Jen Psaki later, and you can just contact her then."

"Thank you, Logic."

"It's all for the company. Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'll go and inform her first."

…………

"Are you at my house now?" Luo Ji asked in surprise, "Didn't I send you a message asking you not to come over? I'm too busy today and may not be able to go back. I have to live near the company."

"I want to give you a surprise! Just wait a moment." Psaki quietly walked aside, avoiding Sami and Fiona: "Your mother seems to be aware of the relationship between the two of us. She has been Ask me about my love life.”

Luo Ji complained: "Can you not notice it? You came to me on Valentine's Day, anyone can see the relationship between you and me."

Psaki said directly: "Then when do you plan to tell her about our relationship?"

Luo Ji said gently: "Dear, can we keep it private? I don't want others to talk about us."

"Are you afraid that she won't accept me?"

Luo Ji hesitated for a moment: "A little bit. The age gap between us is too big. She may not be able to accept it, but I like you."

This was the first time in Psaki's life that she heard such straightforward playboy remarks. She was stunned for a while before she realized: "What do you mean? We will be lovers from now on?"

"That was not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

Luo Ji said bluntly: "Shouldn't we just maintain this relationship?"

Psaki was silent for a while and said with some disappointment: "I originally wanted to give you a surprise on Valentine's Day, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Maybe we shouldn't have broken the work relationship in the first place."

"My dear, don't say that." Luo Ji then said, "I'll have someone pick you up later, and we'll chat in person tonight. But I don't think I'll be able to see you until very late."

…………

At Los Angeles Burbank Airport, Taylor and his assistant just got off the plane.The female assistant started to complain: "There are two young and beautiful flight attendants on Logic's private plane."

Taylor said with a straight face: "That's his private jet, it has nothing to do with us!"

Blake drove over at this time: "Hi, Taylor here."

After Taylor got in the car, he asked, "You came to pick me up. Where are the Logic people?"

"He has a busy schedule today. He has to record "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and go to Amoeba Record Store to promote his second album. He also has to promote on the radio station in the evening."

"Yeah." Taylor nodded.

Blake glanced at Taylor in the rearview mirror: "I'll arrange for you to go to the hotel to rest first. The MV shooting won't start until tomorrow."

"Row."

The three of them arrived at the hotel soon. Blake arranged for Taylor to check in and planned to leave.

Taylor asked: "Where are you going now?"

"I'm going to Logic. He should be at the record store now." Blake asked, "Do you need me to take the message for you?"

"Help me..." Taylor hesitated: "Uh, forget it. I'll ask him in person tomorrow."

"Okay." Blake walked out of the door.

…………

At ten o'clock in the evening, the bodyguard was driving and Luo Ji was sitting in the car. He threw his cell phone aside angrily.

Blake, his best friend sitting next to him, said, "What's wrong?"

Luo Ji said depressedly: "Kristen just had a fight with me. She was so confused! Fortunately, I gave her a Valentine's Day gift."

Blake consoled her, "Women are like this. They suddenly get angry for inexplicable reasons."

"It's so annoying." Luo Ji complained, and then said, "Robin, has Max's Valentine's Day gift been delivered?"

"It's here! It was delivered around six o'clock in the afternoon."

"That's good."

Valentine's Day is such a special holiday for lovers. In order to prevent the Shura field from appearing, Luo Ji just excused himself from work and only gave gifts to no one.

The day was supposed to go smoothly, but unexpectedly, his ex-wife scolded him, Kristen had a big fight with him, Max was a little emotional, and Psaki had further ideas.

Luo Ji rubbed his hair irritably, looked at Blake and said, "You must have a lot of girlfriends. How do you stay so calm? Now three girlfriends and an ex-wife have made me so miserable."

"Hey, that's being emotionless!" Blake then said, "As long as you don't care, it won't be so painful."

"Are you just having fun?"

Blake said without hesitation: "Of course, what else could you do? Do you still plan to keep them by your side for the rest of your life?"

Luo Ji looked out the window and said, "I have indeed had this thought, but they are independent women with their own ideas. I dare not tell them about each other's existence. Why can't they be like NPCs in the game? According to Where are my ideas?"

"Hahaha, your idea is really interesting." Blake patted Luo Ji's shoulder and said, "It seems that you are not a scumbag enough. I still say the same thing, don't be emotional, otherwise every woman will fuck you. It’s extremely painful.”

…………

On the sofa in the living room of the Burbank Hilton Hotel, Luo Ji and Psaki, who had not seen each other for more than ten days, became entangled in each other in an instant.

After the tenderness, Luo Ji put his arms around Psaki and sat on the sofa watching TV programs aimlessly, his eyes dull and lost in the sage's time.

Psaki said, "Honey, what are you thinking about?"

"Some things at the company." Luo Ji responded: "Do you like the Cartier necklace I gave you?"

"Of course I like it." Psaki rubbed the necklace around her neck with her hand, looking like she couldn't put it down.

Sure enough, women all like gifts, and they are expensive gifts, and this elite woman in front of me is no exception.The little emotion she felt during the phone call a few hours ago had long since disappeared, and now she was leaning on Luo Ji's shoulder with a smile on her face.

"As long as you like it, I specially picked this for you today." Luo Ji said, "Actually, I also prepared a gift for you in New York, but I didn't expect you to come to Los Angeles."

Psaki said: "I miss you and want to give you a surprise. I didn't mean to prepare two gifts for you."

Luo Ji said with an air of grandeur: "It's okay. When you return to New York, I will send someone to deliver that gift to you. It's only 10,000+ meters, which is nothing to me."

Psaki smiled: "Then do you like my gift?"

"Of course I do. This is the best gift I have ever received. Your body is my favorite. Hehe." After Luo Ji finished speaking, he rubbed her back and kissed her on the face.

Psaki responded. She smiled and said, "How about I stay with you these days? I'm free anyway."

"Of course!" Luo Ji said calmly: "But, is there no problem if the company leaves you? There are still Tesla matters that need you to run."

Psaki complained: "It's so annoying. I didn't expect there would be so much trouble in opening a lobbying company."

Luo Ji said casually: "If you don't want to do this, just shut it down. I'll take care of you."

"Forget it, that's all I'll say. Otherwise, it will be a shame for my more than ten years of hard work." Psaki said casually: "I don't want to be a housewife yet."

Luo Ji did not answer directly, but smiled and said, "It's up to you."

Psaki then said: "Then I will stay with you for two more days before going back!"

"All right!"

Psaki's expression was casual, but she was very nervous inside. She tentatively said: "Then I will go to your house to accompany you. It's too boring for me to stay alone in the hotel. I can also talk to Fiona at home to relieve my boredom."

Luo Ji felt horrified when he thought about the possible Shura field. His mind became more and more efficient the more he used it, and now he was telling lies so easily that no one could refute them.

He didn't panic at all and said expressionlessly: "I won't be going home for the next few days. I will be busy shooting the MV and have a lot of things to do. I will stay in a hotel near the studio."

"Okay." Psaki said helplessly.

Luo Ji looked at Psaki who suddenly stood up: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see the night view of Los Angeles."

Psaki came to the window with a blanket wrapped around her body. The lights in Los Angeles were bright at night, and it looked like a modern city, very beautiful.

But such beautiful scenery did not make her feel happy, and she felt a little disappointed at this time. Logic seems unwilling to introduce her to his family or make their relationship public.

Logic is so good, he has achieved so much at such a young age, and he is surrounded by all kinds of women, full of temptations.She was a little unsure who she would be in the end.

Moreover, she is already 30 years old, and her family is urging her to get married every day.Looking at the night view of Los Angeles, Psaki fell into confusion about the future.
