First of all, I would like to thank Fenghuaxueyue for the reward that night

Edison came to Los Angeles not just for tourism and leisure, but with the tasks assigned to him by the organization.
Although this guy has signed an endorsement contract, and even his underwear is provided by the manufacturer, he has never participated in any catwalk shows, and has never even filmed a serious commercial, only a few promotional posters.
Therefore, the merchants he endorsed have always been very dissatisfied, but he was playing games at the time and really didn't have time. He couldn't be allowed to give up his identity as the team coach, which would reduce his influence and commercial value.
"Patience! Suffering! Their ambitions burn in the spring! Paul trembles at their push! Poor Edison busies himself in their expectations! In the end, all Edison will be destroyed! In the shadow of their wings, the magic turns to ashes
!”
It seems a bit much. To put it simply, after these guys endured it for half a year, they saw that Edison was having a rest period and finally exploded. Martin can now answer 8 calls a day, all urging Edison to attend their product exhibitions.
But Edison was not an easy person to deal with. He didn't want to have to rush around to catch up on work during his rare vacation, so he directly said, "I will stay in Los Angeles through July. If you have plans, you can arrange them."
Although various manufacturers hated Edison, they had no choice but to do what he said. Fortunately, Los Angeles is a metropolis. It is the center of world culture and is famous for its fashion.
is the capital of China, so it is more reliable to hold a new product launch conference here.
So Edison's schedule this month is full, and he has to attend a business event every three to five. This does not include invitations to some private or high-end parties. For example, the famous rich and beautiful Hilton invited him to attend her private party.
party. Of course, because Rachel was by his side, Edison did not agree directly, but quietly communicated through text messages.
But among all these activities, the one that concerns Edison the most is tonight's concert - Hill's wife Tamia will perform a solo concert at the famous Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and Edison will be a special guest.
Unlike ordinary concerts, Tamia's performance was not organized by her team, but was actively invited by Disney Concert Hall.
The Disney Concert Hall was built by the internationally renowned Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Frankgehry. It took 16 years to complete from the inside to the outside. From preparations in 1987 to its opening on October 23, 2003, the cost exceeded 50 million.
US dollars, it can accommodate about 3,000 people. The reason why Disney built it was not simply to use it as a commercial performance venue, but to promote music culture, hoping that it would become a place for music exchange and a high-end theater. Therefore
Different from ordinary commercial theaters, Disney Concert Hall cannot be rented to you if you have money. They will very rigorously invite suitable performers to let American music fans know their music.
As a three-time Grammy nominee and a Canadian, Tamia has enough influence in North America and Canada, and because her new album will be released in the summer, she was able to receive invitations to perform.
The title song was specially written by Edison for "The Devil Wears Prada". He will sing it with Tamia as the finale of the show.
Like Hill, Tamia is very humble. Although she is in the fame and fortune fair of Hollywood, she rarely has conflicts with other people and is very popular. So she holds solo concerts, like Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, and Jenny
Black singers such as Jackson will come to support, and non-black female singers such as Mariah Kelly and Britney will also come to show their support. After all, in Hollywood, if you have nothing to do, you have to go out to catwalk to maintain your exposure...
In addition to various singers, Hill, as an athlete, has also invited many sports celebrities, such as the Williams sisters and Tiger Woods. The most surprising one is Shaquille O'Neal, who returned to Los Angeles.
With the kind invitation, I also took the time to attend.
As the most important pre-release promotional event for "The Devil Wears Prada", all the main cast members including Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, etc. were present to cooperate with the promotion.
There were also some other Los Angeles celebrities who came to the venue to enjoy music, to catwalk, or to meet certain people. In short, no matter what their purpose was, they came to the venue. Through many opportunities and coincidences, a magical bureau was formed, and they arrived at the venue that night.
There were as many as 50 prominent people, and the organizers responded quickly. Index pulled up a red carpet at the main entrance to welcome these celebrities.
The Los Angeles media who heard the news reacted shockingly and quickly arranged all kinds of cameras on both sides of the red carpet. When Edison arrived, they were shocked and thought, "I have never heard of such a ceremony before."
Rachel, on the other hand, knew the characteristics of the city of Los Angeles very well, so she was just surprised, and then calmly took Edison's arm and walked onto the red carpet. Although Edison had more contact with the media,
It was his first time to walk on the red carpet in front of many people. He was inevitably a little nervous, his body was very stiff, and he didn't know when to stop at the right time to let people take photos. But fortunately, he had Rachel to help him, and he walked in smoothly in the end.
into the concert hall.
"I find it easy to watch people on TV, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring and troublesome." Edison wiped his sweat after entering the concert hall, and then began to complain to Rachel.
"Actually, it's not that troublesome. It may be your first time encountering it, so you are not used to it. If you participate more in the future, you will find that this thing is actually very simple, as easy as a free throw." After Rachel contacted Edison,
I also started to talk about some basketball examples.
"Free throws are not easy. Several people in our team have made free throws..." When he mentioned basketball, Edison started talking non-stop again.
After entering the venue, Edison did not sit in the VIP box, but sat in the middle of the first row. On his left was Rachel and on the right was Anne Hathaway. There was no doubt that this was a special arrangement by the crew.
Under the publicity of some people intentionally or unintentionally, the conflict between Edison and Rachel had already spread. For a time, the news that "the rumored girlfriend Anne Hathaway officially changed her relationship" spread like crazy. But as Edison's
As soon as the apology ceremony was spread on YouTube, it was considered to suppress the further development of the matter. Later, the closeness between Rachel and Edison seemed to prove that the two people had a harmonious relationship, so rumors began to spread that these were just publicity and hype.
That's all.
But as the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Many things in this world cannot be hidden.
Soon someone confirmed from the crew at the time that the two people really had a conflict, and the fact that Edison held such an apology ceremony in the first place showed that there was a problem between the two of you, so everything became confusing again.
The emotional entanglement between Edison, Rachel, and Anne Hathaway has become a repertoire in the tabloids in recent times. If there is no need to write about it, it will be published to make people feel cold.
Lionsgate just wanted to find some gimmicks to promote the film, so after Edison agreed, they lined up the three people together to give the outside world room for imagination.
When Edison sat here, he instantly regretted his hasty decision. Although there were beautiful women on both sides, it was actually suffering.
He kept talking to the two beauties, and then patted him from time to time. From the outside, it seemed that the relationship between the three of them was very harmonious, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years. But Edison knew that every time Rachel slapped him, it was a real slap.
Ah, and I pinch him every now and then. I can only endure it and can't show it...
But soon Edison discovered that things were getting more and more wrong. After the two of them had a fight, they began to look for various opportunities to lean on him. In this situation, no normal man could calm down.
But fortunately today, Edison met a noble man who helped him free himself.
"Hi, Paul. I didn't expect to see you here." Suddenly a huge palm patted Edison's shoulder, and Edison almost fell to the ground. He looked back.
I think many of these readers should have attended concerts. Usually, the stage lights are turned off before the main show begins, so the hall is relatively dark.
Edison looked back and saw that there was nothing in the dark mass, and he was suddenly shocked. "Could it be that I just met a ghost? Could it be that God has discovered that I traveled through time and plans to accept me."
Just when Edison was suspicious, he was tapped on the shoulder again. This time Edison quickly turned his head and saw that it was indeed a hand. Then he looked along the direction of the arm and saw that it was Shaquille O'Neal. It was too dark just now.
, he was so big that he blended in with the background, and Edison didn't notice it.
"Hello, Shaquille, why are you back in Los Angeles?" Edison calmed his frightened little heart, and then greeted O'Neal.
"Can't I come back? I've been here for 7 or 8 years."
"Too."
"By the way, Paul. It was not honorable for you to win in the playoffs. You used all kinds of dirty tricks on me while I was not completely recovered from my injury. In the end, the referee favored you. We lost very unfairly.
.”
"Ah, this question..." So the two of them started talking. When Rachel and Hathaway saw that the actor's attention had been attracted by the supporting actor, it was pointless for them to make money, so they called it quits.
.
After a while, the stage flickered on and off, and Tamia's performance finally began.
After more than 2 hours of performance, the concert finally came to an end, and Edison also went backstage under the guidance of the staff to prepare for the final chorus of the day.
The lights dimmed again, the curtain behind the stage was suddenly lit up, and the shot of Anne Hathaway in a black dress looking back eagerly was shown in front of everyone, beautiful and stunning.
At this time, the sounds of electronic music and whistles came from the speakers, and then Edison's falsetto reached the ears of the audience.
"ars,if_it_feels_right
Shoot for the stars if it makes you feel good
y_heart,if_you_feel_like
Then take my heart, if you want to do that
e_away
Take me away
_okay
You make everything go smoothly”
The music has a very strong rhythm, and is passionate and unrestrained. It also has a hint of ethereal soul music, which makes people want to dance with the singing. Originally, the first half of the song was too floating and without roots, but when Tamia was strong and vigorous,
When her voice was added, her delicate processing instantly stabilized the main theme, making the song come to you from the horizon.
Many people in the audience are professional singers. When they heard it, they knew that this was a rare and good work. However, so far, they had only heard the sound but not seen it. A scene from a certain movie was still being shown on the big screen.
Finally, when the two sang together, Edison and Tamia appeared on the stage under the guidance of the lights.
Seeing Edison dancing, everyone in the audience looked at each other, and two words popped up in their minds, "Genius!"
