Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 131 Grammy Awards (single update today, dizziness and pain due to influenza A)
"The Devil Wears Prada," a film that was off-the-wall and not very big, was quickly completed within two weeks.

Tang De was also freed from his duties on the crew and got enough rest time.

At the same time, it was time for the Grammys to be held.

The awards ceremony is scheduled for February 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York, USA.

As the director of several popular single MVs, Tang De naturally received the invitation, but he was not too interested in the Grammy Awards because there was only one award related to him.

Best short form MTV of the year.

For him, winning this award is far inferior to MTV's Best Director of the Year, and he is not lacking in such awards now. In comparison, he is more concerned about whether Avril can win something at the Grammys.

On the 23rd, Tom drove Tang De to the Grammy Awards ceremony.

As soon as he entered the infield, before he could see the environment clearly, his eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of hands.

At the same time, a familiar girl's voice came from behind: "Guess who I am?"

Tang De raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his finger and guessed: "I guess you are Shirley."

"Who, who is Shirley?" Putting down his hands, Tang De turned his head, and what came into view was Avril Lavigne's classic smoky makeup and her narrowed eyes.

"Shirley? I don't know who Shirley is, hahaha." Tang De laughed.

Avril knew that she had been deceived by Tang De, and put her hands on her chest: "If you let me know that there are other bitches around you, I will definitely hit her face with a guitar."

Tang De shrugged, thinking that was a bit much, and said at the same time: "I'm just teasing you, your behavior is really funny."

"That's good." Avril came over and whispered: "Do you miss me?"

"Of course, I have never felt that time has passed so long. Are you still going back to New York this time?"

"Well..." Avril hesitated for a moment, her expression a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Tang De took two glasses of wine from the waiter and handed one to Avril.

"This year's tour schedule is also intensive. I can only stay in New York for a few days, and I will start writing a new album after the tour is over."

"It's okay, it will take a long time anyway." Tang De comforted the unhappy girl, and then the two of them came to the seats and sat down.

Avril was also very interested in his recent experiences. Tang De specially told her stories about Tokyo. Her eyes lit up when she heard about the gangsters, and asked Tang De whether they were covered with tattoos like in the movie.

After getting a positive answer, she nodded: "That's cool. I'll go to Tokyo if I have the chance."

While the two were chatting happily, other musicians passing by also came over to say hello.

It's just that this time it's different from MTV. Everyone basically knows Tang De and pays more attention to him than Avril Lavigne. After all, one is a competitor and the other is a MV director.

Everyone hopes to become familiar with each other, and they don't know when they can collaborate again.

So with greetings from each musician, the Grammy Awards ceremony officially began.

However, this time the Grammys were destined to disappoint Avril. Although she was nominated for Best Single of the Year, the award was awarded to 23-year-old Norah Jones.

In addition to the best single of the year, her album "Go Away" also won eight awards including best record of the year, best album of the year, and best new artist of the year, including five individual awards and three album awards. Become the biggest winner of this year's Grammy.

"I just can't believe this is true. I just want to say that I'm so honored to be so lucky to be recognized by you all in a time when the world has become very strange, and I can't thank you enough!"

Afterwards, Norah Jones, dressed in a black evening gown, came on stage and sang "Fly Away", which received warm applause from the audience.

Tang De took advantage of the break in the performance to look at Avril's little face and found that although she was a little disappointed, her face was still full of smiles. It seemed that she was not defeated by the failure of the award.

After the award for Best Female Rock Vocalist was announced, the winner, Cher Crow, took the stage and expressed a strong anti-war voice during her performance, which once again aroused a warm response from the audience.

But Tang De smiled playfully, because he knew that just one month later, the United States launched the famous Iraq War.

It is really ironic that a peaceful country that claims to be anti-war often brings war to other countries.

It's a pity that Tang De is not an arms dealer, otherwise he would definitely make a lot of money this time.

However, this visit to the Grammys was not without success. After the MTV award for the best short form of the year was given, all the eyes of the audience were focused on Tang De.

That's right, Tang De once again won the grand prize for his MV for Avril Lavigne.

Standing on the stage, he took the Grammy trophy, thought for a moment, leaned in front of the microphone and said with a smile: "I hope some people won't be too sad tonight..."

"Hahahaha!" Everyone who watched the MTV awards ceremony laughed. Unexpectedly, Tang De actually said the same words as before at the Grammys, completing a response.

Avril looked at Tang De on the stage, her eyes shining under the light.

After the Grammy Awards ceremony, Avril, wearing sunglasses, got into Tang De's car and was taken home by him.

"Tang, why is your house so small?" Avril felt a little strange as soon as she entered the house.

Because Tang De's home is not consistent with his identity at all, it stands to reason that a great MV director like Tang De and the boss of many companies should live in a villa.

But Tang De bought a high-rise apartment. Although the decoration was exquisite and the floor was high enough, the area was indeed not as good as that of a villa or a detached house.

Even the place where Carmela and her two brothers live is bigger than here. But Tang De seemed to enjoy it. He took out a bottle of Krug champagne from the refrigerator and explained: "I don't usually live here. The reason why I bought this place is because I like the scenery outside. Don't you think it's dreamy?" ?"

Avril stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bright lights outside the window, and agreed: "It's really great."

"Yeah, as for the area." Tang De handed Avril a glass of champagne full of dense bubbles: "I actually don't like empty houses."

"You are so weird." Avril took a sip of champagne: "I have met many people, and they all wish that the house would be bigger and better, like a manor."

"I pay more attention to safety and privacy." Tang De laughed and clinked glasses with her: "Are you sad? You didn't win the award."

"It's okay." Avril shook her head: "It's just a bit regretful. I thought I would at least win the best newcomer."

"Indeed, but you don't have to worry about the judges. Have you seen the MV I shot?"

"I saw it! It's so cool!" Avril immediately became excited when talking about this: "It's so cool to kill, kill, kill, but his singing voice is really bad."

"Hahaha, I think so too. It's a pity that guy went to hell."

"Why not go to heaven?" Avril wondered.

"Because God is not a black man."

Avril was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, laughing so hard that she fell back and forth.

"Come on, cheers!"

"cheers!"

After three rounds of drinking, Avril's face was flushed and her mood completely relaxed, and she began to complain about the group of people she hated the most.

"Those bitches will expose their white thighs and breasts every time they shoot a music video, and they will still tremble, as if this will make the song liked by more people."

"The same goes for those bitches in school. Every time they dance, they will deliberately push their breasts up!"

"They also mocked me for being as flat as an egg in a pan, even though I drink milk and eat papaya every day."

"So are you envious?" Tang De said cheerfully.

"Yeah... you are right, I am indeed a little envious." Avril put her hand on her chest and gestured: "But don't you think this is also a kind of beauty? Doesn't it have to be heavy to be beautiful?"

"Of course it's beautiful. I will defend your airport to the death."

"? Airport?" Avril came over and strangled Tang De's neck with her hands: "Are you saying I'm fair? Then I'll let you feel what an airport is."

After feeling the elasticity of youth for a while, Tang De apologized decisively: "I'm sorry, it seems that my choice of words is not accurate. This is not an airport, but a hill."

Avril held Tang De's tie upward, making the two look at each other.

"So, sir, do you want to climb a mountain?"

"of course."

The ambiguous battle was about to break out. The two people discussed the method of climbing the hill for a long time, and then explored the mysteries of the universe.

Avril is different from other women, full of wildness, like an unconquerable wild horse, carrying Tang De and leaving footprints in various places in the room.

It wasn't until the night was driven away by the sunshine that Tang De finally fell asleep holding Avril in his arms.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang De was awakened by a sucking sound. He frowned and looked at the hot sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window. After listening to the source of the sound, he opened his quilt and took a look inside.

"Baby, are you practicing the syllables? The rhythm is so strong."

Avril's voice came from inside the quilt: "That's right, your flute is too difficult to play. You haven't made any sound for so long."

Tang De raised the corners of his mouth: "Then it seems you still need to practice some more."

After speaking, he straightened his waist, causing Avril to angrily slap his thigh with her hand.

The two of them didn't leave the room completely until noon on the third day. For the past two days, they relied on pizza and chicken wings bought by Tom for meals, which also made the silent guy look at Tang De with suspicion.

Even after sending Avril away, Tom would still look at Tang De from time to time, and the teasing meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

"Tom, do you have a girlfriend?" Tang De was shocked and asked.

"Yes...but not as crazy as you." Tom told the truth. He had never seen anyone as energetic as Tang De.

You must know that the safety supplies purchased in the past few days are enough for an average person to use for half a month.

But even so, he saw that Tang De's face did not look weak. If it were others, their waists and knees would have been weak and their faces would have turned pale.

"Are you crazy?" Tang De shrugged: "It's a bit true, but I finally made this girl beg for mercy. You can have a good rest in the next period of time, there are a lot of things to be busy with."

As soon as he said this, his cell phone rang.
