James was delayed for a long time at the US customs entry inspection.

His Liverpool-style English is really maddening. It sounds like English, but when it speeds up, the British can’t understand it. The US customs staff almost want to ask for an interpreter (if there is one), but Finally let him pass.

just leave...

The other party teased him jokingly: "You are British, why don't you speak English?"

"Did you hear that? Did you hear me? I was accused by an American of not being able to speak English!"

James complained to Lance angrily: "Can Yankees speak English? How ridiculous! They don't even know what football is!"

But Lance didn't have time to discuss English with him.

He rushed anxiously to the luggage carousel immediately to find his beloved Gina.

But after finding it, I found that the bumps and bumps during the transportation had caused a small scar on the surface of "her" body that was barely visible to the naked eye...

Lance stroked her, almost crying on the spot in grief.

Baldwin stuffed him a sandwich casually, and said comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay. Lance, this is life. In everyone's life, there must always be some traces left to prove that they have truly lived. This is also true. A symbol of profound experience."

James couldn't help interrupting: "Wake up, it's not human at all."

Lance glared at him dissatisfied: "Shut up!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say it." James immediately raised his hand to apologize, and at the same time said casually: "You continue to check your precious guitar, I'll go over there to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Theo had long since disappeared.

He ran to find the phone on his own, and couldn't wait to call his girlfriend: "Honey, I'm starting to miss you! Do you miss me? What? No! How can you miss me? I missed you on the plane Eight hundred times..."

At this time, Davis diligently took several luggage porters to check and carry the checked equipment and luggage.

So the only people left to care for them were Bill and three or four tour crew members.

The tour manager was going nuts.

He couldn't see the four people with his eyes. After rubbing his temples, he began to shout hoarsely: "Everyone, don't run around, come to my side! God, Jimmy, come back, come back! What do you want? Go buy it for you, don't go by yourself; Lance, yes, please stand there holding the guitar, please; Baldwin, stop, don't eat, I won't be able to eat dinner in a while; Theo? Where is Theo? Where's Theo? Theo——!!!"

Wait for them to end the chaos again...

The people sent by the United States to pick up the plane also came.

Responsible for their US tour is a company that has cooperated with the British Mixer Records several times, called RHD Music Company.

The company's early main business was jazz and classical music. Not long ago, it was acquired by Warner Music Group. After becoming a subsidiary, it plans to expand the scope of music business and provide music lovers with more diverse music.Therefore, in the past few years, it has gradually set foot in pop music, R&B, rock and other fields. Although it is not the best music company in the United States, it also has its own uniqueness.

But this uniqueness...

At present, the four members of the planetary band are not appreciated at all.

Because the car they sent to pick up the band at the airport was a large bus painted colorfully.

It also has a cursive script written on it in a bright hot pink paint: "A planet is coming!"

"Currently, your band is still relatively unknown to the American people, so our plan is to start promoting it as soon as you get off the plane!" Matt, the head of RHD Music, said so excitedly.

He also pointed to the exaggerated bus and showed off triumphantly: "Look! Isn't it very eye-catching? When we drive out, we can be seen by many people along the way! In this way, we will definitely leave a lasting impression in people's hearts." Make a strong impression."

James and his party: ...

In the end, Lance, who is the spokesperson of the band, sighed reluctantly: "What an amazing idea."

If you are also an Englishman who is also Mensao, you should immediately understand that his words are definitely not meant as a compliment, but full of irony and displeasure.

But in the eyes of Americans, this is the meaning of praise and approval.

So, Matt said happily: "Great! Do you think so too? Let me just say this is a great idea."

Deep down in Lance's heart: ...you idiot who can't understand human language!

But it's done.

Everyone had no choice but to board this pink bus with exaggerated shape and full of Disney princess feeling.

"When the Beatles came to America, they got off the plane in a limousine, right?" Theo muttered indignantly.

"Unfortunately, we are not the Beatles." Baldwin took out another sandwich and said while chewing.

"I'm okay with pink, but this one really looks a little shameless. Aren't we a cool cool rock band?"

James asked unhappily: "Can we take a taxi instead of this one?"

"That's too rude, it will offend people!"

Bill said in a helpless voice: "Jimmy, you can't make trouble as soon as you come to the United States! I beg you, don't talk."

James had no choice but to say nothing more.

But he retorted unwillingly: "Why do you always think that I will make trouble? My temper is obviously very good."

Bill: "Yes, yes, you are right."

On the other end, Matt, the person in charge, didn't feel everyone's resistance at all.

Outside the car, he waved his arms enthusiastically and greeted everyone desperately: "Let's leave later, let's take a group photo first! Hey, British brothers, don't rush to get in the car, you can wait until you get to the hotel and then rest. Aren’t you excited when you just arrived in America? Come on, come on, come on down, don’t be shy. Let’s take a photo together in front of this beautiful car! Come on, come on, come on!”

[This is the first day!This is the first day!This is the first day! ]

All the members of the planetary band were muttering silently in their hearts, while resisting the urge to turn around and leave.

Then, they got off the bus again, stood in front of the pink bus, and took the first group photo after arriving in the United States with a blank expression.

Lance's scheming ghost shrewdly hid behind everyone, only showing half of his face; but James was pushed to the front by everyone because he was the lead singer.

Because he was really not good at controlling facial expressions, he was photographed in an unhappy photo of pouting and losing his temper.

'Big fucking ugly' in his words.

But this photo was the most widely circulated later, and it became another strong evidence of his "bad temper".

So far, the unlucky journey is not over.

Before officially going to the hotel to rest, the four members of the band will also go to the welcome reception specially organized by RHD Music Company

Although it is said that the welcome reception is often a sign that the other party attaches importance to it.

But James and the others probably really don't want this kind of attention...

"Welcome, welcome! I have been looking forward to you for a long time, and you are finally here!"

At the reception in the evening, a man in a suit and leather shoes who looked very handsome, but he didn’t know him, came over and said to them excitedly: “I love you and your band so much, your songs are so powerful Oh boy. When you are free later, no, you must, you must sign me! I swear, this time I will get the signatures of everyone in your Plant band."

Plant band?

Planet (Planet) band?

Everyone froze for a few seconds before reacting.

Immediately afterwards, everyone started roaring in their hearts: Where is E?Where did the E of the grass mud horse go?Have you eaten it?

"Do you like the plant band? Then, which song do you like?" James couldn't help asking again.

The man didn't notice anything wrong, and continued to happily say: "Yes, it's you! Well, do you like that song? It's too difficult to choose, every song is very good. However, I like your new song the most... …Sorry, I was too busy listening to the song, I didn’t remember the title of the song too much, but the one about the shining little star. It’s great, it’s really great, it’s unforgettable in my ears, and it reverberates in my mind from time to time!”

"Oh~~! I know which song you're talking about." James drawled.

Then, he began to babble deliberately: "Is it TwinkleTwinkleLittleStar?"

"Yes, yes! This is the song!"

The man followed the trend, with a look of love: "I'm your loyal fan! Absolutely!"

hehe!Give your mother a head!

Why don't you say your favorite lead singer is called Mozart?

James completely lost interest in the conversation.

In fact, this time, even Lance, who was always good at dealing with people, didn't say much.

Because, under the seemingly enthusiastic surface, no one really wants to talk, and this welcome reception is just a formality.

They are the protagonists, but they are only nominal protagonists.

Drummer Baldwin later summed up bloodily: "We don't need to speak, and they don't need to communicate with us. The so-called welcome reception is a business event, or an exhibition. And we are a group of people who just The exhibits that are newly bought and of good quality may be something like a musical instrument. Apart from Lance’s fetish, would anyone care about what the musical instrument thinks? Is anyone willing to communicate with the musical instrument? No , Of course not! So, our role is to stand there, take a photo with them, add the signature they want, take it back for them to show off, and just prove that there is such a thing.”

"Yes, actually, I'm quite happy to satisfy them."

James added positively on the side: "So, when I signed the autograph, I signed them all - the Plant (Plant) band. You say, I have a fucking good temper!?"
