American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 183 Walking Side by Side (Additional chapter for the Sheep Catcher)

"Ryan, look, this is the articles of association of 13 Management." Taylor's father Scott handed Ryan several documents.

Ryan took a quick look and found that what Taylor said last night was right. Scott is now preparing to rely on his daughter to revitalize his career.

This not only involves the tour, but all businesses directly related to Taylor, including endorsements, various activities, schedules, except for records, are all taken over by her father in one company, including the agency contract.

It can be understood that Taylor is his own boss and has his own studio.

However, the nominal person in charge of this studio is Taylor's father, followed by himself and Taylor.

"From now on, Taylor will be independent of the existing record company system and will no longer be subject to anyone..." Taylor's father painted a grand blueprint for the future.

In a sense, Ryan's acquisition of Big Machine actually secretly fueled the flames, allowing Taylor's father's plan to be realized several years earlier.

Ryan looked up and locked eyes with Tyler.

"Dad, I think... let Ryan handle these things. It's time for you to enjoy yourself. Health is the most important thing." Taylor said with a wry smile.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Scott shook his head immediately.

"The doctor said that my body is like that of a young man in his 20s. It's still a long way for your dad to retire. Ryan is so busy that he doesn't have time to take care of your affairs. It's more convenient for me to take charge. It's also for the good of both of you." Scott continued.

"Ryan is responsible and he has time, so don't worry about it." Taylor said immediately.

"How could I not know whether he has time or not? This matter has been decided." Scott slammed the table and said angrily.

Taylor's mother also spoke up when she saw this: "I have discussed this with your father for a long time. You and Ryan are still young and should not be distracted. Besides, sooner or later, these will all belong to you two."

"This..." Taylor couldn't bear to do that in front of her parents. She looked at Ryan for help.

"Mom and Dad are right. We are indeed very busy." Ryan tried to comfort Taylor.

"Ryan is right." Scott nodded immediately. He is indeed my son.

"But..." Ryan changed the subject: "Mom and Dad are not young anymore, and Taylor will have to shoulder her responsibilities sooner or later, so why not let Taylor stand in front of the stage and become a real leader to take the helm herself. Mom and Dad, and I will all help you."

Ryan looked at Tyler.

"Me?" Taylor was stunned. This was different from what she said yesterday. In her mind, she just needed to write songs and sing. The rest was handled by her parents, then by Big Machine, and then by Ryan. She had never thought about handling those things by herself.

"Taylor is still young, and his touring schedule is so heavy, how can he have time to take care of other things?" Scott frowned slightly.

"The workload is heavy simply because we don't have capable subordinates, or in other words, there is poor management." Ryan pointed out the problem.

He never had to ask about some matters in the nightclub, Sean would help him with it, that's what a manager does.

The reason why this tour was so embarrassing was directly related to Taylor's father.

"So what you're saying is that I'm mismanaging?" Scott looked at Ryan.

"Of course not. You have rich experience and have worked on Wall Street for many years. All of this is a piece of cake for you, but it's not the case for Taylor. Now you two can protect her from the wind and rain, and so can I in the future. But one day, you two will grow old, so pass on your experience to Taylor while you are still in good health." Ryan said with a smile.

Ryan then looked at Taylor: "I know this is a little early for you, but the earlier it is, the more room for error. What do you think?"

Taylor opened her mouth. Her mind was still confused, but she suddenly thought of Ryan's behavior yesterday.

Actually, Ryan is the same age as me, right?

He did it all right, and I…even if I can’t completely match him, I can at least partially match him.

"Just do as Ryan says!" Taylor nodded vigorously.

Why should I always hide behind Ryan? Why can't I walk side by side with him?
Only in this way can we go further with him, right?

When two people get together, isn't the purpose to make each other better?

At this moment, Taylor's mind underwent a transformation, from a girl who grew up in a privileged environment and was loved, to a woman who wanted to stand on her own.

"I decided to take the first step!" Taylor looked at his parents.

Taylor's parents looked at each other.

"My daughter has grown up." Taylor's mother felt inexplicably relieved.

"Dad, what do you think?" Taylor stared at his father again.

"Taylor, you have to know that you will always be my favorite daughter. As long as you want to do it, Dad will help you achieve it!" Scott was also inexplicably moved.

The family of three hugged each other, then turned around together and looked at Ryan eagerly.

There was no choice, Ryan could only stand up, and the four of them hugged each other.

"Ryan, I have to say thank you. Without you, I don't know when Taylor would have taken this step!" Taylor's father held Ryan's hand.

·
"Is this all right?" Taylor signed a legal document related to 13 Management. Of course, he still seemed to have not changed his weird pen-holding posture.

"From now on, 13Management is your company." Taylor's father nodded. "No, it's Ryan and I's company." Taylor shook his head.

Although they are a family and don't say two things, if Ryan really needs to use the money earned by the company, Taylor will not refuse to give it to him, and on the surface, Taylor also divides the money very carefully.

"Although we are not legally married yet, this is already considered marital property, and Ryan has been investing it, so it is reasonable for him to take the lion's share," Taylor said.

In addition to being the nominal vice president, Ryan also owns half of the shares in 13Management. The initial investment has become the company's debt, and the money must be repaid to Ryan.

As for the president, it is naturally Taylor.

·
After dealing with all this, Ryan told Taylor some things and asked her to keep an eye on the final stage of the stage laying. He himself had to fly to Jonesboro to supervise the stage construction for the second concert.

"No one will cover you this time. You have to bear the consequences yourself," Ryan reminded.

Taylor nodded, then said a little unsurely: "Can I call you if I encounter any problems?"

"Of course, but don't bother me with trivial questions."

"You're so stingy. I'm obviously making money for you." Taylor told the truth.

The two of them had discussed it last night, but they were afraid that her parents would not agree, so what happened today happened.

"What's yours is mine, and what's mine is yours, so don't be so careful." Ryan said with a smile.

"Give me a kiss." Taylor closed his eyes.

Ryan kissed her, and the two of them kissed passionately at the construction site, with many staff members around.

"Call me when you get there," Taylor said reluctantly.

"We'll meet in a few days." Ryan touched her head.

"After the big screen, sound and lighting tests are completed, ask the people in these links to come over as soon as possible." Ryan gave his final instructions.

"Got it." Taylor waved at Ryan.

·
After Ryan left, Taylor turned around and found that many workers were looking at him.

"Ahem, continue working." Taylor cleared his throat. He was still a little shy in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

She imitated Ryan and confirmed once again the progress of several links. She stayed on the scene for a while and then asked the band members and dancers to conduct the final rehearsal on the stage that had just been set up.

"Liz, you're a bit ahead of the times when it comes to harmony."

"And you, Grant, you are the accompaniment player on the electric guitar, not the lead player. So be more restrained and use less coloratura."

"Paul, if I heard you correctly, you played several notes wrong. Did you not get enough rest last night?"

Taylor was extra serious and pointed out the band members' problems.

"If there are any problems with the performance, be careful or I will deduct your salary!" Taylor pointed at the grinning Grant with a serious expression.

Seeing that Taylor was serious this time, several band members looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Do it again!" Taylor turned around and rehearsed for the second round.

·
A few days later, at 7:30 in the evening, in the ladies' dressing room.

Taylor, who was wearing the school's military band uniform, had just put on her own makeup and also did makeup for the dancers herself.

Due to cost considerations, the stylist and makeup artist only completed the final makeup. After that, the performers were responsible for their own makeup and styling for each tour, including Taylor.

"Almost done." Taylor nodded and walked out of the dressing room. The backstage was a bit chaotic at the moment.

She gathered together the band and dancers who were ready.

"It's already this late, I hope you all can let go of the pressure and enjoy the next two hours." Taylor held out her hand, and everyone put their hands on hers. In fact, she herself was a little nervous because Ryan was not around.

"Come on 1.2.3!" everyone shouted in unison.

"By the way, go to the dressing room..." Taylor thought of something and instructed the people around him.

After a while, the other party brought back a box of blue paint.

Taylor dipped her right hand in paint and drew a "13" on the back of her left hand. She regarded it as her amulet.

At this moment, the amulet 13 and the ring on the ring finger complement each other.

"The actors and band are in place! Taylor, get ready to go on stage!" The voice of the staff came through the headset.

With the familiar live accompaniment of "You You Belong With Me", Taylor stood on the hydraulic lift and slowly rose...

What Taylor saw was a crowded stadium with countless people holding glow sticks in their hands!
Tonight's attendance rate - 100%
