Chapter 654 Two hot topics

On December 13, on Taylor's 15th birthday, her album of the same name, "Taylor Swift", was officially released.

This is the moment when Taylor Swift. Ryan and others did not appear on the viewing platform of the Empire State Building, but prepared a grand party in the banquet hall of the Waldorf Assistant Hotel. This was both a small celebration party and her birthday party.

Of course, her album debut is not short of superstars. In order to fulfill her original promise, Leonardo DiCaprio made a gorgeous debut as a dancer.

This launch ceremony not only gathered a large number of media, but also broadcast live across the United States through Disney TV.

"Why are your face not good-looking?"

Walking to the corner of the banquet hall, Drew Barrymore sat next to Ryan and said deliberately, "Are there any problems that I need to solve for you? Or do I need to convey anything?"

"Drew!" Ryan made a threatening move to her, and the other party shrugged indifferently, "You are still so boring, I'll go find Gwyne."

This is one of the most critical moments in Taylor's life. Almost all the people who belong to Ryan's circle have arrived, Melanie Sloan and Scarlett Johnson, Julius Stewart and Kristen Stewart, Scott Swift, Pi Kingsley and her new boyfriend, Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow, Paris Hilton sisters, James Cameron and his wife...

Also, as someone who loves Taylor, Nicole will definitely not be absent.

In addition, not only Charlize Theron, who was busy opening a store on Fifth Avenue, came, but also Natalie, who was busy preparing for "The Dilemma of Life and Death", appeared in the banquet hall.

They are all one of the best people with Taylor.

However, the three of them had no communication as before.

It was not appropriate to stand on either side, so Ryan simply sat alone in this corner, watching Taylor shining on TV.

Although "safe&sound" was praised as the most beautiful folk song by Jody Rosen, a famous music critic of "Rolling Stone", most of Taylor's songs, including "ry" and "My Season", are obviously more popular.

"Hi, Ryan."

"Hi, Gwyne."

Drew pulled Gwyneth Paltrow and walked back, Ryan pointed at them at the chair opposite the table. "Sit as you like."

"Where is Elpur?" Ryan asked about her and Chris Martin's daughter, the Miss Apple.

"In the room, I'm taken care of by a nanny."

As soon as Gwyneth finished speaking, Drew stabbed her and teased, "You are the winner of life now, your husband, daughter, and family are all enviable."

"Then when will you marry yourself?" Gwyne fought back without hesitation.

"I haven't thought about it." Drew picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Now I think it's good to be alone, and no one needs to think about it. All my energy can be put into my career."

"By the way, Drew." Ryan suddenly remembered the movie he handed over to Flower Pictures, "How is An? Lee's progress?"

"Take Heath Ledger and Jack Gyllenhaal to Montana."

After seeing Ryan nodding, she said to Gwyneth Paltrow again, "I heard you signed a long-term contract with Jingqi?"

"Six contracts signed."

They are all their own people here. Gwyneth Paltrow didn't shy away from anything and said directly, "There are three "Iron Man" and three more to be decided. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be the "Avengers" that Ryan said."

"Peper Potts?" Drew put down his glass and asked Ryan, "When will the filming start?"

"After the New Year." Ryan's eyes were taken back from three women who had no intersection in the distance. "We are waiting for Jon Favreau to finish his current work."

This director impressed Ryan so deeply. He also played the guest role of Tony Stark's bodyguard, Hapi.

As for Little Pepper, Ryan's original candidate was Charlize. Unfortunately, she only wanted to keep shooting a movie every year so that she could focus more on her fashion career, so she had to agree to the surprise finalization of Gwyneth Paltrow.

"Where are you, Drew."

When talking about work, Ryan became much more serious, "I heard that your persuasion work has progressed?"

"Sylvester Stallone promised that if I could convince others, he would play the role of a salary cut and serve as director." Drew pinched his eyebrows, as if he had a headache. "Arnold Schwarzenegger's cameo is not a big problem, but others are more troublesome. Bruce Willis also has a film contract for "Die Hard", and Jeter Lee insists on a $15 million salary and will not let go..."

"What do you want to do?" Gwyneth asked curiously.

"Get all the old action superstars together." Ryan clenched his fist and gestured in a free fighting position, "shoot a super action blockbuster."

"You two are so crazy..."

"Taylor is back."

Drew, who was sitting at the door, reminded him, and Ryan and others stood up and walked over there.

The girl in six feet and ten inches dressed in gorgeous clothes, as dazzling as an elves. After entering the banquet hall, she hugged her relatives and friends one by one and accepted their blessings.

"Dear, we are proud of you."

Ryan hugged her gently, "The perfect starting lineup."

This moment should belong to Taylor and her parents. Ryan quickly made it aside and watched the girl excitedly hug her father, mother and younger brother.

"Alison has grown up."

Nicole's voice came from beside her, and she said with emotion, "She is about to spread her wings and fly into the sky."

“Isn’t this something we’ve been looking forward to?”

Perhaps it only originated from evil things at first, but people have feelings. After more than ten years of getting along, Ryan has long regarded her as a relative.

After hugging Austin Swift over there, Taylor suddenly turned around and walked over, first hugged Ryan hard, then as if he was a child, he got into Nicole's arms and said loudly, "I love you!"

"Dear, we love you too!"

The party didn't last long, and Taylor was obviously a little tired after the album conference. In addition, he would embark on a national publicity journey tomorrow. After more than half an hour, everyone dispersed.

Finally, Ryan leaves Taylor behind.

"Alison..." Ryan made his final advice solemnly, "Nicole said that her Boeing plane is temporarily for you. Pat will accompany you in the first few stops of the promotion. If you have any questions, ask her more."

"My dear brother Ryan." Sitting on the sofa chair with his hands on his chest, Taylor rolled his eyes, "You are really old, you have become more verbose than before."

"Because you're already grown up." Ryan walked over and rubbed her blonde hair, "I won't have a chance to talk anymore."

"And..." Relieving his faint feelings, Ryan said seriously, "Don't leave the bodyguard's sight when going out. I'll contact you. After the first week of the record sales will be announced, Time magazine will have an exclusive cover interview. When you return to Los Angeles, there will be Anne's talk show."

"Yeah~" the girl pointed her head hard, "I remember!"

"Okay, go and have a rest now."

Ryan pulled her out of the chair, walked out of the banquet hall together, and passed the special elevator to the suite on the top floor.

"Go to bed."

After leaving the elevator, Ryan patted her on the back. Taylor hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go to Scarlett first. She just said she had something to do with me."

"Don't make a fuss until too late!"

The two girls grew up quarrels and sometimes they were lawless when they played.

The next day, from Times Square as the starting point, Taylor began a nationwide publicity journey that is indispensable for every singer to release records. Disney Group, which dominates the youth market, invested a lot of media resources in her, and every time she went to, a heavyweight would always appear to help her.

Scarlett Johnson, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore and others appeared at her signing meetings in different cities. Even at the Los Angeles stop, Ryan personally took the stage to accompany her. Although there were several noises in the middle, it caused a sensation.

Although some media say sour words, the treatment Taylor enjoys is something new singers have never appeared in the history of pop music.

These also brought about the sales of record horrors.

"Taylor Swift" became the second highest-selling solo album in the first week of female singers in history, and was praised and recommended by most music review agencies. Among them, "Rolling Stone" magazine gave a high rating of four and a half stars, or nine points.

Although album sales dropped to more than 400,000 copies in the second week, today when the record industry is falling rapidly, it has to be said that this is a miracle.

Taylor was then seen on famous shows such as "Vanity Fair", "Time", "Anne Talk Show", and "Good Morning America". This young girl swept North America in just a few weeks with her fresh and beautiful image and agile singing voice.

Of course, her huge network of relationships was also exposed, and some people inevitably began to say that Taylor Swift became popular quickly because of a good family...

However, there is one question that cannot be avoided. If Taylor's music is not outstanding enough, can she be so popular among teenagers across the United States?

In the second half of 2004, two hot topics swept the whole of the United States.

One is the Iran incident caused by "Argo", and the other is the popularity of the album "Taylor Swift".

"At the age of eight, she started practicing guitar hard, for at least four hours a day, often playing her fingers with her skin and bleeding. She started trying to compose at the age of eleven, determined to enter the music industry, and sold two songs at the age of thirteen. Before she joined the Hollywood record company, when she was training at Warner Records, she had actually shown her talents that exceeded all her peers."

The music director of Warner Records talked about Taylor in an interview, with a tone of regret. Such an outstanding singer did not stay on Warner Records in the end.
