Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion

Chapter 202 Nightclub Party

Driving back to Santa Monica, it was already evening, and the setting sun was shining slantingly on the beach. The jetty pier in the distance and the huge Ferris wheel in the park all looked particularly beautiful in the setting sun.

Maybe it’s because the weather is too hot, but when it gets dark, there are still thousands of citizens and tourists scattered around the beach, walking their dogs, playing volleyball, or playing guitar on the beach, drinking and having fun, and enjoying the free sea view.

There is also a bar street on the east coast of Santa Monica Beach, with more than ten bars, dance halls, restaurants, and amusement parks.

In the evening, before the sun sets, the neon lights on the street light up first, the lights are bright, and the flow of people on the street is denser than during the day.

Link drove to a dance club called Venice Shore and stopped.

Walked into the bar, and then took the elevator to the underground dance floor. The moment the elevator opened the door, the huge sound waves and the noisy and chaotic scene were like a heavy punch hitting his head, making him feel a little dazed.

Hundreds or even thousands of people were crowded into a lively dance floor, screaming and twisting to the rhythm of the music.

 The dazzling lights made his eyes uncomfortable.

Link took out his cell phone and made a call, but there was no answer. He searched around the booth area and heard someone shouting, ‘Link, here! ’

Link looked around the corner and saw Carrie Underwood, the country music singer whom he met last time in Nashville, waving to him.

Beside them were Taylor, Miley Cyrus, Kesha, and two men in their thirties.

Just now he left the boxing training ground and saw a message from Taylor on his mobile phone, asking him to come to the bar for a drink. He said there was a happy event, so he hurried over.

 Among these people, he is relatively familiar with Carrie Underwood and has interacted with her on Twitter.

 Miley Cyrus, who we met backstage at the Grammys last time, is also friends with Selena.

Kesha Ke$ha is also a newcomer who debuted this year. Because her stage name "Ke$ha" has a dollar sign in it, she is also called "Qianpo" by her fans.

Kesha debuted in March and released the single "RightRound", which topped the singles chart for six consecutive weeks.

Last week, the second single "TiKToK" was released. The number of downloads in the first week reached 610,000, ranking second on the Billboard singles chart, and it is likely to take the first place from "SeeYouAgain".

 Fortunately, in the third week after its release, "SeeYouAgain" still had more than 2 million downloads on various platforms, and its championship position is relatively stable for the time being.

Of the other two men, he only knew the more handsome John Mayer, who debuted in 1999 and released four albums. The second and fourth albums won the first-week sales champion, and the third album ranked second.

At the Grammy Awards in March, he also won the Best Pop Male Vocalist and the Best Rock Vocalist for his songs "Say" and "Gravity" respectively.

John Mayer has three famous ex-girlfriends. One is Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel in "Friends". The two started dating last year. They announced their breakup at the beginning of the year and are now single.

The next one seems to be Taylor. The two also collaborated on a love song "Half of My Heart".

 The next one is Katy Perry.

There are rumors that Taylor and Katy Perry later fell out, and this person was also the reason.

Of course, with Link here, those things should never happen again.

 “Hi! Kylie, Miley, Kesha!”

Link walked over and gave Kelly a hug, and then said hello to Miley Cyrus and Kesha.

Before Miley's transformation, she was still a very cute little girl. She always grinned and showed a sweet and cute smile. Seeing her smile, it is easy to think of the saying, 'Girls who love to laugh are not lucky. It will be different'.

After the transformation, I let myself go, taking drugs, dancing, posting **** photos, having **** sex, and taking a mature and **** route. However, I still did well in my music career and won many Grammy Awards.

Kesha’s stage name is Kesha, and you don’t need to use “Miss Ma’am” when you call her. This group of musicians doesn’t care about that anyway.

 “Link, why are you here?”

Tyler stood up unsteadily, held his arm and said.

 “How much wine have you drunk?”

Link saw that her cheeks were red and she smelled of alcohol.

 “Two mojitos!”

Tyler waggled his fingers and smiled.

Mojito is a cocktail made with rum as the base liquor, sugar cane juice, lime juice, soda water and mint. It has a refreshing and slightly sweet taste and is suitable for girls to drink. It is also one of Taylor's favorite cocktails. one.

 “The smell of alcohol was so strong, I thought you drank a bottle of vodka.”

Link put his arm around her waist and smiled.

 After Taylor’s introduction, he shook hands with John Mayer and his friend Richard Sheen, and then pulled Taylor to sit down on the empty sofa in the middle.

“You haven’t said why you came? It’s been almost an hour since I sent you the message.”

“I just came out of the boxing gym and Emma is here too. She wants to practice boxing with me.”

Link took the initiative to explain to Taylor to avoid being exposed by the paparazzi, which would make it more difficult to explain.

"Why is she practicing boxing? She is so small, I can knock her down with one hand."

Taylor said, waving his fist.

Link shook his head, took back her fist, looked at Kelly and the others and said, "What were you talking about just now? Please continue and don't be interrupted by me."

 “Link, we’re talking about you.”

 Carrie Underwood laughed and said, "You are so awesome. You released two albums in a row in the first year of your debut, with global sales of more than 5 million copies. You can be said to be the first person in the history of world pop music."

"Yes, Link, and the song "SeeYouAgain" is great. How can you write such a beautiful song? If I can write such a song in my life, I will die."

 Miley Cyrus smiled with her cute teeth.

“Miley, you are only 17 years old and you still have several decades to sing hundreds of songs. It’s too early to say this.”

Link chuckled.

"It's not too early. I know that no matter how old I am, I can't write that kind of song."

Miley shook her head, her hair swaying.

Link smiled softly, looked at Kelly and said: "Good music is not about sales, but about quality. My album has a lot of hype. If there is no hype, the sales will not be that much, so don't worship me too much."

 “You are too modest, as if someone releases an album without promoting it.”

 Carrie Underwood held the wine glass and smiled heartily.

Link saw her smile and realized that country music singers were different from pop rock music singers.

Their appearance is cleaner, they have a kind of artistic youth temperament, and they are easier to get along with. The country music circle also often produces "artistic goddesses", such as Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and Taylor. It counts as half.

Most female singers in the pop rock scene follow Madonna's example, first pure and then sexy, taking the visual kei route. "Kelly, please stop praising him. Now the newspapers are full of news praising him. I don't even want to read the newspapers."

Tyler leaned on Link's shoulder, waved and said.

“You two are equally awesome, your album will definitely set a new record this year.”

 “Kelly, don’t say it yet!”

Taylor interrupted Carrie Underwood's words, looked at Link and raised his chin slightly proudly and said, "Link, do you think 2 million copies of your album sold in the United States is a lot? You know my "Fearless" How many were sold?”

Link smiled softly. He could probably guess it, but he pretended not to know and asked:

 “How many?”

 “Tell you, 3 million copies! It’s the first album to break 3 million copies in the United States this year.”

 Taylor curled up the corners of his lips proudly.

 “Wow, that’s awesome, my dear, you are a hundred times better than me.”

"of course!"

Tyler covered his mouth and laughed.

“Hey, is it really okay for you and your wife to compliment each other here?”

 Carrie Underwood teased.

"Feel sorry!"

Link picked up a can of light beer and said, "Guys! How about we drink to Taylor's album sales exceeding 3 million copies?"

"cheers!"

Miley picked up her cocktail glass and shouted.

Kesha Qian, John Mayer, and Charlie Sheen also raised their glasses.

　　When he was chatting with Kelly and Miley just now, Qian PoKesha stared at him blankly, as if she was studying him.

John Mayer also looked at him, and sometimes Taylor, with a vague smile on his face. He wore a watch in his left and right hands. After putting down the wine glass, he would take off a watch and rub it in his hand, like String beads on the plate.

"Kesha! You were the loudest when Link didn't come. Why didn't you say a word when Link came?" Miley asked Kesha, pulling at her side.

Kesha glanced at Link and shrugged: "I'm a fan of Link, and I'm nervous when I see the idol in person."

"Really? Your and Link's music styles are different. How come you like his songs? I don't like his songs." Taylor hugged Kesha and laughed.

Kesha shook her head, "I also like Link's songs, but I am his boxing fan. I think he is very powerful, and I really want to be like him."

“Link, I am also a boxing fan of yours. It turns out that I don’t watch boxing matches. Since I learned that you are a boxer, I also started to watch boxing programs.” Carrie Underwood laughed.

"me too!"

Miley nodded repeatedly.

Link smiled softly and said: "Thank you everyone for coming, and I'll invite you to watch the boxing match next time. Kesha, I heard that you wrote the lyrics and music of "TiKToK". It's really awesome. Let's work together someday."

"OK!"

Qianpo Kesha nodded while holding the wine glass.

Link thought that she was unhappy working with the record company she was currently signed to.

Her first single "Right Round" topped the charts in the United States for six consecutive weeks, but there was no signature on the record, nor a cent of her share. The news said that at the beginning of the year, she was listening to her songs being played in supermarkets. , but can’t even afford a potato in the supermarket.

 Because of this, she changed the S in her name to $.

Link has plans to poach people, but Kesha is currently on the rise in her career, so it would be too difficult to poach her.

 “Link, do you like watches?”

John Mayer put down his wine glass and played with his watch.

 “Yes, there are two pieces.”

He has two luxury watches, one is a Patek Philippe given by Taylor on Valentine's Day, and the other is a Vacheron Constantin given by Eva Card on New Year's Eve. They want him to use it to decorate the appearance and not to be looked at as too poor. Both prices are over 500,000 US dollars.

 It’s just that he usually exercises and is used to wearing sports watches. The two watches are kept in the box and are only used as accessories during public events.

“Link, which brand of watch do you prefer?”

John Mayer leaned forward and pretended to have a serious chat with him about watches. Judging from the gold Rolex watch on his hand, he was a fan of Rolex.

 “Stop!”

Miley waved her hand and cut between the two of them, shouting, "Don't you think it's boring to talk about watches here?"

 “Yes, let the boys talk and we go dance.”

Taylor stood up unsteadily and pulled Kelly to dance.

 “Let\'sgo! Let’s dance!”

 Miley and Kesha stood up.

Link saw that there were too many people on the dance floor, like a water tank full of fish, a mixture of good and bad.

 He ​​was worried that Taylor was being taken advantage of, so he said hello to John Mayer and followed him to the dance floor.

 Taylor drank a few glasses of wine and was in a very excited mood. He followed the DJ music rhythm, swaying his hair, twisting his tall and **** figure and perky buttocks. From time to time, he got into his arms to tease him and kiss him.

Link just twisted in a very gentle manner, with a deadpan expression, like Vincent in "Pulp Fiction".

After dancing, several girls laughed at him, saying that he couldn't let go, as if he was performing a one-man show in a crowd.

Link does not deny this. He is not a nightclub guy, nor does he like to join in the fun.

 On the dance floor, being able to squirm to the music is already a big improvement.

When several people returned to the booth, John Mayer and his friends were not at their seats. It was unclear whether they went to dance or left early.

Link and Taylor chatted with a few people in the booth for a while about the gossip in the entertainment industry, and left the bar together when it was almost eight o'clock.
