America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 321 319. The most touching performance, Avril Lavigne is here

I've been reading books of old

I read all the old books

The legends and the myths

Those ancient legends and boundless mysteries

Achilles and his gold

Achilles and his spoils

Hercules and his gifts

Hercules and his divine powers

ironman's control

Iron Man takes control

And Batman with his fists

Batman's Iron Fist

And clearly I don't see myself upon that list

And I obviously can't be on the same level as them

On the stage, as the low and gentle background music played, Avril Lavigne played the guitar, and more than 20 kindergarten children swayed together.

One of the little boys and a little girl took the lead in singing with clear voices.

These children were all brought from Wendy's school, and were in the same class as him or in the same class as him.

After Eric assigned the task, everyone had been rehearsing for a week without telling little Wendy.

For children, it doesn’t matter how well they sing or how flawless their pitch is. Just standing there is enough to eclipse the best singers in the world.

This song "Something just like this" was co-created by Coldplay and The Chainsmokers. It goes without saying how famous it is.

Countless people got to know the Chainsmokers through this song, and they even won awards.

The melody of the song is very catchy, especially the intro, which is like spring rain that can nourish the softest field deep in a person's heart.

When Eric first heard it, he thought it was an episode from a superhero movie.

Later I learned the meaning of this song and I really liked it.

As a famous song that has been covered by countless people, "Something just like this" is both a smoker's and has transcended the category of a smoker.

It is a type that emphasizes emotion over technique. As long as it can sing enough to impress people, there is no difference between male or female voices.

Eric took out the song and sang it to Avril Lavigne this time, only slightly changing one word.

Just change Spiderman to ironman, and it still rhymes in the English context without any sense of inconsistency.

After all, "Spider-Man 2" hasn't been drawn yet. I'm spending so much effort to promote it for you!

On the big screen, a close-up shot clearly shows little Wendy clapping her hands happily.

And called out the names of the two children who were singing: "Darren, Kaye!"

Many viewers had aunty smiles on their faces unconsciously. How do you describe that feeling?

It just makes my heart warm and comfortable.

At this time, the first bar was sung and the remaining children opened their mouths at the same time.

Although the condensed sound lacked brightness, it became more powerful, instantly lifting people's hearts.

But she said where'd you wanna go

She said to me where do you want to go

How much you wanna risk

How many more storms do you want to go through?

I'm not looking for somebody with some Superhuman gifts

I'm not asking you to be a super gifted person

Some Superhero Some fairytale bliss

No need to be super invincible or super beautiful

Just something I can turn to

I just want a shoulder to lean on

Somebody I can kiss

someone i can kiss

I want something just like this

That's all I want

doo~~doo~~doo, doo~~doo~~doo

Wow!

CBS, NBC, and Lionheart, three television stations with close ties to MGM, broadcast the entire process live.

Many viewers in front of the TV couldn't help but express admiration.

The song is nice, and more importantly, it makes sense.

As the children hummed softly, Avril Lavigne put down her guitar and picked up the microphone in front of her.

She also deliberately changed into daily clothes today and only put on light makeup.

The moment he opened his mouth, a soft yet powerful voice reached everyone's ears.

I've been reading books of old

I read all the old books

The legends and the myths

Those ancient legends and boundless mysteries

The testaments they told

the old testament they dictated

The moon and its eclipse

full moon and waning moon

And Superman unrolls A suit before he lifts

Before Superman flies, he unfolds his suit

But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

As the song reaches its climax again, Wendy's parents have already walked onto the stage.

Seeing them, the child happily points to the choir in front of him, and Avril winks at him mischievously.

Wendy's father watches all this happily, while her mother keeps wiping tears from her eyes.

They could never have imagined that such a big thing would happen just because they went to see a movie that day.

Tens of thousands of people fulfilled a dream for their children, and this must have been the fastest day since their son was born.

At this time, the performance had reached its final climax, and Avril waved her hand, and a group of children immediately ran over and surrounded Wendy's family in the middle.

"Wendy, now you are a superhero, you must be brave!"

"I will, Missy!"

"Brother, I'll wait for you at school, I have a super cool toy to play with you." A black child said.

"What toy is it?"

"I can't tell you now. You have to wait until you get better. Well, it's actually my new Transformers. I have a whole set!"

"Wendy, this is for you. I made it myself over the weekend." A little girl took out a small box of cookies from her pocket.

"I've tasted it. It's sweet and delicious. My grandma also said it was great."

On the big screen, a group of four or five-year-old children said the most touching blessings in the most innocent tone.

This scene moved countless people, and they felt their hearts were hit hard.

Although their noisy voices disrupted the singing, Avril's singing was mixed with a lot of noise.

But who would mind?

These children's voices not only do not make the song unpleasant, but are the sublimation of the song. You will never find a more real and moving scene than here.

It is conceivable that even if Avril releases a studio version in the future, even if she uses the best equipment and the most powerful techniques, she will never be able to surpass this version.

In the end, this dream-fulfilling journey ended in excitement and touching.

MGM did not deliberately show its presence. Eric himself did not show up, and even did not send a representative.

Because he did not want to destroy the harmonious atmosphere on the scene, saying a few words in this situation would simply add a smell of money to this perfect journey.

Not only will it not have a good effect, but it will also attract some people's disgust.

People will say, "So you are not doing it for the children, but to promote the movie," "There are no good capitalists," "Children are tools to be used," and so on.

This is why he found a charity organization at the beginning.

After the event is over, there will definitely be a lot of media interviewing Wendy's family, and the other party will know what to say.

In addition, Iron Man, Captain America and other superheroes also showed up once, especially the physical version of the Iron Man suit made by the prop master, which will definitely attract the attention of a large number of young people and young men.

In Beverly Hills, Eric hugged Elizabeth and watched the live broadcast throughout the whole process.

"That's great. We did a great thing. Look at the state of little Wendy. He looks really happy."

"Helping others makes you happy. When you help others, you will feel happy. That's it."

"Is that why you like to participate in charity events?"

Eric laughed, and several women shook their heads.

"Elizabeth, charity events are for others to see. If possible, I don't want to participate anyway."

"That's right, and you don't even know where the money you donated is used."

"Will the financial information be made public?"

"Do you believe it is made public?"

"Uh"

Gadot painted the nail polish on Theron's toes: "I received another invitation, this Wednesday, held in Seattle."

"Then just show up, eat and drink, don't donate money." Elizabeth suggested.

Eric pinched her cheeks: "That won't do. You still have to donate the money, unless you are shameless like Ruby Lin."

"Ruby Lin, who is she?"

"A very weird female star who attends charity events every year but never donates money. After being exposed, her reputation plummeted and she became a clown that everyone laughed at."

"No one wants to be friends with her, and no one wants to film with her again."

"Wow! Is it that serious? Fortunately, no charity event has come to me yet."

"By the way, look at little Wendy and the others. They are so cute. I also want a baby. Otherwise, we won't use protective measures in the future."

Eric almost sprained his waist because of Elizabeth's sudden turn.

Among his women, only she must take precautions when doing it with him, even if Ross said that the small umbrella has only a 97% success rate, but it must be worn.

If Elizabeth's belly gets bigger, the sky will really fall.

"Baby, you can't have such thoughts now, it's too early for you."

"I asked you to play Juno, not to really become Juno. Juno is not cool at all, okay?"

Ashley, Mary, Nicole, Theron and Gadot also advised that even if they couldn't get pregnant, you couldn't get pregnant either.

If you get pregnant, the bastard next to you will have to go to jail for a few years.

If he goes to jail, what will we do? What about this huge business empire? That's all our assets.

"Okay, okay, I just said it casually, just a joke, why did you take it seriously?"

"I'm not a child who doesn't know anything, I know the severity very well."

"It's better to do so!"

Nico said with some concern: "When you have sex in the future, I must be by your side to check, just in case."

However, her plan was immediately exposed. Theron crossed her arms and teased: "I think you want it. Eric can't give it to Elizabeth, and you are by your side, so you can give it all to you, cunning!"

"No way! I'm just doing it for everyone's good."

Ling .

Ashley took the phone and said, "It's Avril calling. It seems she wants to thank you."

Eric coughed a few times when he found that the girls were looking at him with scrutiny: "What are you doing? Why are you looking at me like that? Speakerphone, I'll turn on the speakerphone for you to listen."

"Hi, Ivy, it's me."

"Of course I know it's you. Why didn't you come to the event?"

"It's not appropriate. I don't want to make this event utilitarian."

"Okay, where are you?"

"I'm at home."

"It's noon. Let's have lunch together, at that hamburger restaurant again."

Cough!

"Huh? Did I disturb you?" Avril asked when Mary suddenly coughed.

"No, what do you think about the last time we talked about it?"

"I have an idea, so I need to talk to you in person. Of course, if it's not convenient for you, we can talk about it another day."

"OK, then wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Ashley pretended to sniff: "I seem to smell the smell of adultery."

"Last time in that store, which means this is not the first time." Charlize Theron walked up to Eric and looked down at him.

Shrugging helplessly, Eric rolled his eyes: "How can you look at me like this? You just heard it, we need to talk about business."

"Hehe! Who knows if this is a secret code you agreed on?" Nicole sneered.

"That's right, otherwise why would you give her such a beautiful song to sing, there are many singers in the art world." Gadot also raised a question.

"You have a problem, kid!" Mary also stood up.

Eric wanted to cry but had no tears. I wanted to do it, but I haven't done it yet. Is it the same as preventing thieves?

He looked at Elizabeth, and the little girl nodded: "No matter what happens, I believe you."

"See, this is the attitude a wife should maintain towards her husband. You all need to reflect on yourselves."

"If we don't trust each other, how can we live together for a long time?"

"Come on, baby, I'll take you with me and let these women know that I will never do anything to let you down."

Avril was a little surprised to see the two of them appear together.

"Elizabeth is playing at my house, and she's hungry."

"Hello, Avril, I like your songs."

"Haha. I like your performance too. Order your food quickly, or I can recommend the most delicious food to you."

The food was served quickly, and the three of them ate and talked.

"What do you want to talk to me about that?"

Avril pulled out the half-eaten chicken leg: "Of course it's money, that's the most critical issue."

"Money? What money?"

"Liquidated damages, didn't you say that if I change jobs, Meiyi will pay the liquidated damages."

Woo. O.

Eric hurriedly drank a sip of Coke to clear his choked throat.

"Avril, are you really preparing?"

"Yeah! Now that you have made a decision, don't delay. I have always been like this. Do you think I'm kidding?"

"Well, I thought it was, but now I know it's not."

Little Elizabeth widened her eyes: "Avril, you want to work at Meiyi? Do you want to sign a contract with Meiyi?"

"Yes, Eric promised me that I can enjoy the best resources at Meiyi, and he will also create a hit single for me, which I think is good."

"I have checked the liquidated damages, which is about 25 million US dollars. Anyway, I can't afford it personally."

After saying that, she looked at Eric, and the meaning was very clear, it's your turn to express your opinion, boss.

"Wait for me a few minutes."

Eric walked to a secluded place, called Michael, and told him the current situation.

If it was another record company, Michael would still hesitate, after all, poaching people like this would be equivalent to breaking the industry rules, but Avril is from Sony.

Let's do it!

Poaching people from Sony is so cool.

Everyone knows the grievances between the two sides. If you have the ability, come to my house and poach them.

And with the copyright in hand, Sony can't do anything to Meiyi, and they have to swallow their anger.

Back to the seat, in Avril's expectant eyes, Eric opened his arms: "Welcome to Meiyi Records!"
