New York 2006

Chapter 289 Global Vibration
2009 6 Month 25 Day.

Los Angeles, United States, Burbank Warner Studios!

Two extras from the "Westworld" crew, a man and a woman, were eating lunch and chatting.

The male group spoke about the gossip he heard today: "Have you heard? Today Logic, as the boss, will come to the crew to inspect the filming situation."

Only then did the female cast member react: "I was just asking why the director was so strict today. It turned out to be this reason."

The male costar said, "You're right, I heard people in Hollywood say that Logic is usually very strict."

The female cast member sighed: "Maybe this is why he is so successful!"

"Indeed, after entering June, it feels like the entire world's entertainment media is full of news about Logic."

The male actor then said in an admiring tone: "His album "18" sold 1030 million copies worldwide in just over four months. His movie "The Twilight Saga: New Moon", 2 Within days, the global box office reached an astonishing $20 million. Logic is really successful!"

The female performer then added: "Don't forget, the music festival he held in New York ended a few days ago. According to media reports, 30 people attended this music festival in three days. In just two sessions, This music festival has become a famous cultural icon in New York."

“Are you paying attention to this music festival?”

"Following it, I also watched the video uploaded by the music festival on YouTube."

"Who will show up?"

"There's Logic, Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, Carrie Underwood, Coldplay, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Jay-z, Beyoncé, Republic Day, Maroon [-], Kanye Weiss Special. These are more famous.”

After the female group finished their speech, they paused, thought for a moment and then said: "There seems to be Lily Allen and Adele. The rest are some small singers, I can't remember them clearly."

The male troupe felt that the girl opposite was yearning for this music festival, so he asked, "How much are their tickets?"

The female extra recalled: "It was quite expensive, the lowest one was 60 yuan. There seemed to be even more expensive tickets, so you could meet and shake hands with celebrities."

The male extra looked at the blonde female extra in front of him and smiled what he thought was his best smile: "Perhaps the two of us can go to the New York Music Festival together next year. I'll treat you."

The blonde female co-star frowned inexplicably and thought to herself, I plan to invite the handsome guy I like to go with me next year.

However, the person pursuing him in front of him cannot reject him so bluntly and still hang on.

She used her usual tricks, puffed up her chest, and became arrogant: "Let's talk about it then, there is still a year."

"Okay!" The male actor was a little helpless. He had been chasing this girl for so long and still hadn't made any move. It seemed that he still needed to work harder.

By the way, I haven’t given her a gift for a week. Should I give her a gift?
Just when the male extra was dreaming about chasing the goddess after giving out the gifts, the blonde female extra next to him stabbed him with her hand: "Look, the heroine Evan Rachel and the supporting actor Dalula ·What is Riley going to do outside?"

The male extra looked back and saw these two Hollywood beauties chatting and laughing, and they were almost at the entrance of the studio.

The male cast member was also a little confused. He turned around and said nonchalantly: "I don't know, maybe I went out to buy..."

But before he could finish his words, the blond girl next to him stood up and ran towards the door in one stride.Only then did he notice something unusual. Many people from the crew were also moving towards the door.

He looked back again and saw two luxury cars parked at the door. It turned out that Logic was here and he was being interviewed by a dozen paparazzi.

…………

In front of Warner Studios.

Blake, Fiona and two bodyguards maintained order, while Luo Ji calmly accepted the interview.

"Logic, where do you think the global box office of "The Twilight Saga" will fall?"

Luo Ji said an impossible number: "One billion meters!"

The paparazzi just now said seriously: "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Luo Ji looked serious.

Click, click, click, the group of paparazzi immediately took pictures non-stop.

Another paparazzi said: "Logic, your second album "18" has sold more than 1000 million copies worldwide in more than four months. What do you want to say?"

"Thank you everyone for recognizing me. I will continue to create good music."

Another paparazzi said: "What do you think of the Black Eyed Peas?"

"I like their music very much! Their music is very nice and groundbreaking." Luo Ji said sincerely: "If I have the opportunity, I would also like to exchange my music experiences with them."

Since Luo Ji's second album "18" was released in February this year, his second album has been in a dominant position in the past four months.

Discussions about music in the media, magazines, newspapers, radio, television, and the Internet were basically inseparable from Luo Ji. It was not until June that the Black Eyed Peas emerged.

With their two futuristic and innovative electronic singles, "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling", they ended Luo Ji's dominance of the European and American music circles.

Luo Ji didn't mind at all that they ended his rule, but was very happy.

Because Tianqi didn't lie to him, the electronic music style was indeed the trend of the future.

Luo Ji finally no longer had to fight alone.

Now, it's not just Lady Gaga and electronic records that are pushing this genre, but also the Black Eyed Peas.

Luo Ji is not afraid of others taking a piece of this music style. From the popularity of electronic music, his electronic music records are the biggest beneficiary.

Everyone makes a big cake together, and then he takes the biggest piece.

The paparazzi in front of him smiled and said, "Logic, do you need me to inform the Black Eyed Peas?"

Luo Ji smiled and said, "Of course! You tell them that we like their electronic music very much."

At this moment, the director and several actors from the "Westworld" crew came over.

Luo Ji then said to the many paparazzi: "I am here today mainly to visit the crew of "Westworld". Can you all cooperate with me and interview the crew?"

"Ok!"

"Logic, we will work with you."

"We'll give you this face." The paparazzi said in unison.

…………

The crew interview begins!
Luo Ji put his left hand around Evan Rachel's waist, and his right hand around the waist of Musk's girlfriend, Talulah Riley.Surrounded by two beauties, Luo Ji let reporters take photos with a smile on his face.

Click, click, click!Click, click, click!
A paparazzi said, "Logic, this is a great photo. I'll put it on the news about your visit to the Westworld cast today."

Luo Ji took back his hand and politely said to the paparazzi who had just spoken, "Thank you."

The paparazzi suddenly raised his nose and said, "Logic, you have been single for six months since your divorce. Have you found a new girlfriend? If so, who is she?"

"I'm single for now and don't have a girlfriend." After Luo Ji finished speaking, he said to the paparazzi: "You can continue interviewing the crew members. I'm leaving first."

After Luo Ji finished speaking, he ignored the paparazzi, hugged Rachel and Tallulah, and walked toward the studio.

…………

Inside Warner Studios.

Luo Ji, led by the producer of "Westworld", shook hands with the crew one by one.

Although this group of people sent by HBO were Hollywood employees, when they saw Luo Ji, they were still no different from ordinary people, their faces full of admiration for Luo Ji.

Luo Ji tried his best to take care of everyone, shaking hands with them one by one and saying hello.It's like a leadership inspection.

Luo Ji looked at the female cast member in front of him with doubtful eyes. She was quite pretty with her flowing blond hair.

But why are you holding my hand? Do you want to sleep with me?
But Luo Ji wasn't familiar with her and didn't know her details, so he pretended not to notice, ignored the female extra, and continued shaking hands with the next person as if nothing had happened.

There were only over 100 people in the crew, and the handshakes ended quickly.

Luo Ji came to the studio, and what caught his eye was a futuristic house separated by glass.

In one of the houses, there is the equipment used to make humanoid robots in the "Apocalypse" sequence.A white mannequin is controlled by a metal ring, surrounded by some sophisticated metal instruments.

The technical consultant walked up to Luo Ji and explained: "Logic, we followed your idea and contacted companies related to 3D printing. They provided us with this machine. Of course, we redesigned the appearance of the machine to make it It’s more futuristic and sci-fi.”

Luo Ji asked curiously: "Can this machine really 3D print items?"

The technical consultant explained: "It can indeed print some simple items, such as plastic toys."

"Then you can demonstrate it for me."

"Okay, but it might take a while."

"Then let's take the simplest model."

"Ok!"

The technical consultant walked to the console and explained while operating: "Currently, the material stored in the machine is plastic, and the printed items are also plastic items."

Luo Ji looked at the 3D model of Apple on the computer: "Are we printing plastic apples now?" "Yes." The technical consultant explained: "Every item has its corresponding 3D digital model. Apple It is a relatively simple one, and we can also print some more sophisticated toys, such as Barbie dolls.”

The technical advisor finished speaking and then pressed the OK button.The console next to it started to move at this time, and the whole machine was like knitting a sweater, swinging back and forth to draw out the details.

Luo Ji watched with great interest, but frowned as he looked at it. Some of the printed details were too rough. He said, "This technology seems to be far from the technology imagined in our drama." Very far."

"Yes." The technical consultant said, "I have asked experts and they said that the technology in the play is not possible within 20 years."

"How much is this machine?"

"3 meters knife."

“I feel it’s difficult to use it commercially.”

"Yes, this technology is now mainly used in the industrial field." The technical consultant continued: "It is worth mentioning that the patent for this 3D printing process will expire this year. Perhaps 3D printing will usher in a wave of big waves. develop."

"Yeah." Luo Ji nodded.

Luo Ji looked at it for a while and then lost interest: "You can contact me after the printing is finished. I'll go visit other places first."

"Ok."

At this moment, Evan Rachel and Musk's girlfriend Dalula came over after the interview.

These two beauties are really eye-catching, especially Rachel. She is wearing the costume in the play today, with a shy smile on her face, and she has the temperament of a classic good girl.

Rachel stepped forward affectionately and gave Luo Ji a big hug, then said in a coquettish tone, "It's been a few months and you didn't even know you came to see me."

"Uh..." There was nothing wrong with the two of them. Luo Ji was a little confused by her intimacy, and then he changed the subject: "How was the filming during this period? Is everything going well?"

Rachel said: "Everything is fine, the people sent by HBO are very professional."

Luo Ji then looked at Dalula: "How do you feel about being on the set? Are you getting used to it?"

"all good."

Luo Ji chatted with them for another 2 minutes before he felt something was wrong.

Now that the crew was almost in action, preparing for filming, Luo Ji only had the producer following him. Why were these two actors so idle?

Luo Ji then asked, "What time will the filming start in the afternoon?"

Rachel looked at her watch: "Aqi, I've lost track of time when I'm with you. I'll be on camera later."

Luo Ji immediately showed the face of a capitalist and asked with a serious face, "Then aren't you going to prepare?"

"Go right away." Rachel then looked at Luo Ji expectantly: "Are you free today? Maybe we can get together."

Dalula also said: "You haven't seen Musk for a long time, right? The four of us can get together tonight."

Luo Ji said, "Forget it, I can't do it these two days. I'll invite you when I hold a party later."

"Okay." Rachel said with some regret.

"Bye then, I'm going to visit other places, you guys go ahead and get busy!"

Of course Luo Ji didn't come to the set today to hook up with girls, his focus was on inspection.He wanted to see if the production team provided by HBO was perfunctory about the show.

Luo Ji's main focus is on the scenery and special effects. These details can show the skill of a team.

He is very satisfied with the sci-fi feel of the interior, the western style of the park is also well done, and the photography has a cinematic quality, but he is not satisfied with the CG special effects.

It seems that due to the relationship between the times and technology, it was difficult to achieve some of the details in the "Apocalypse" sequence.

This can only be said. Restoring the Apocalypse video clips is much more difficult than restoring the music.

At the end of the inspection, Luo Ji finally approached the director of the show and asked, "What do you think of the Westworld theme song I created?"

"Excellent!" The director looked at Luo Ji with admiration: "Logic, you are a real genius! Everyone loves this song."

Luo Ji said with a serious face, "I know, everyone says so."

The director was a little stunned by Luo Ji's pretentious words and was at a loss.

"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you." Luo Ji said seriously: "HBO is a very good team. It is worthy of being the top team in the world. I am very satisfied with today's visit."

The director's praise for Luo Ji was also very useful: "Thank you for your recognition, Logic."

Luo Ji patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Do a good job. When it's over, I'll hold a party for you to celebrate!"

…………

Ten p.m.

Home in Burbank, LA!

Luo Ji, Braun and Fiona were sitting at home watching entertainment programs on TV.

"June 2009 belongs to Logic!"

The host followed up with Rainbow Fart, playing about Luo Ji's albums, Luo Ji's movies, Luo Ji's business empire, and his various magical operations.

This made Luo Ji, who had always been very thick-skinned, a little embarrassed. He laughed and said, "These sycophants!"

Braun ignored Luo Ji's remarks and said excitedly: "Logic, now you have truly become a global superstar."

Fiona immediately retorted: "Didn't he think so before?"

"It's different!"

Braun then said: "Logic has only released one album and made one movie before. No one is sure whether his subsequent works will continue to be popular. Now you don't have to worry, his second album and The second movie was even more successful than before. Logic is now a well-deserved global superstar!"

Luo Ji asked curiously: "Then what do you think my status is now in terms of fame?"

Braun thought for a moment and said: "Probably the same as Britney in 2003. This is the most suitable comparison. Anyway, you have become famous all over the world this time, and you have become one of the top celebrities in the world. ”

Luo Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Yeah, not bad. I do feel that I have become much more popular around the world recently, and I am very popular wherever I go."

Braun smiled and said: "Have you noticed that the trend list of various search engines around the world, such as Baidu and Google, the search volume for you has more than doubled during this period. Among singers, you are the most popular one. Even as an actor, you’re in the top ten.”

Luo Ji smiled heartily: "Haha. Of course I noticed it! I am very concerned about these data. I remember that the female singer Gaga is the most popular, right?"

"Yeah," Braun said with a smile.

Fiona suddenly said: "How does Logic compare with those old superstars? For example, Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Jackson."

Braun thought for a while: "There is no comparison here. They are celebrities that have been baptized by time. If Logic wants to reach this status, he must grow popular. This does not happen overnight."

The three of them continued chatting, and Fiona's cell phone suddenly rang, and she took it out and looked at it.

Luo Ji and Braun didn't pay attention and continued chatting.

While chatting, Luo Ji suddenly noticed Fiona looking at the two of them in disbelief, so he asked her, "What's wrong?"

Fiona said blankly: "I just received a message saying that Michael Jackson is dead."

Luo Ji laughed: "How is that possible? It's fake news. Didn't we go see him rehearse last week? He is obviously fine and full of energy."

Braun didn't believe it either and echoed: "This is fake news! He is only 50 years old."

Fiona looked serious: "He also sent me a photo! There was a person being carried to the ambulance on a stretcher. I don't know if it was Jackson."

Braun reached out for Fiona’s phone: “Show me.”

Fiona immediately handed it over.

Suddenly, Luo Ji's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw a text message from his best friend Blake. It read: "Michael Jackson seems to be dead. This is a news link."

This seemed to be the news website of the Los Angeles Times. Luo Ji immediately clicked on the link, but the page crashed.

Braun finished looking at the photos on Fiona's phone: "A photo can't explain much."

Luo Ji said, "It seems to be true. Blake sent me a link to the Los Angeles Times, but the website crashed. Search online to see if there is any relevant news."

After Luo Ji finished speaking, he directly opened Google to search for Michael Jackson, but it showed that it could not be searched.

Luo Ji immediately thought of a situation. In order to prevent DDos attacks, these search engines will restrict searches for a term if there is a lot of data in a short period of time.

Braun spoke up: "Twitter is down!"

Fiona also spoke: "AOL, Twitter also collapsed!"

"The TMZ website also crashed." Luo Ji looked at the two of them seriously: "It seems true. Something might have happened to Michael Jackson!"
