Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 36 Youth Never Comes Back

In Lin Yuan's eyes, Taylor Swift is a very generous and kind person.

She has achieved great success and has gained both fame and fortune, but she has never been stingy in sharing the benefits with those around her.

Taylor's 2023 world tour generated more than $22 billion in ticket revenue from North America alone, not including $10 billion in streaming revenue, and drove more than $50 billion in consumption.

She is the undisputed top superstar of this era.

After the concert, she also gave a one-time bonus of $5500 million to all the behind-the-scenes staff.

Even the transport drivers who temporarily helped out received a bonus of $10 each.

Taylor's move to give each person a bonus of $10 shocked the transportation company bosses.

He said that in the past each driver would receive a maximum of $5,000 to $10,000, but Taylor suddenly gave out a bonus of more than ten times that.

Such a generous Taylor is definitely not comparable to those stingy bosses.

Taylor herself is a good boss, perhaps because she was badly screwed by her boss when she was an employee.

She had a dream of becoming a musician since she was a child. In order to help her realize her dream, her family moved to Nashville, the capital of country music.

This should be the reason why Lin Yuan met her on this train.

In Nashville, she was approached by a record label under Sony Music, but the label told Taylor to wait another four years before releasing her album.

Unable to bear the wait, she signed a contract with a company called Big Machine Records and quickly made her official debut.

She is a newcomer in the music industry, and Big Machine Records is also a newly established small company.

Originally, this should have been a beautiful story. The two parties worked hand in hand, blazing a trail from scratch and jointly creating a business legend.

However, Big Machine Records betrayed Taylor at the peak of her career.

The company used the master record copyright, which is also the mechanical reproduction license, to stab Taylor in the back.

This caused her great pain for a time.

Fortunately, Taylor is so talented that although the master copyrights of those albums belong to the company, the original songs were all composed by her, and she owns the original copyright of the lyrics and music.

She can re-record these albums based on the copyright of the lyrics and music, bypassing the company's restrictions.

Although she finally managed to turn things around, this period of lows also greatly affected her musical career.

Without these troubles, Taylor should have been able to reach higher positions and create more musical miracles.

In his previous life, as a fan, Lin Yuan was very angry that such a beautiful, kind, and talented female singer like Taylor was harmed by capital using dirty means.

So even if there was no system requirement, Lin Yuan wanted to help Taylor, not to mention that doing so would have many benefits.

"Taylor, let's change the subject. You like music, especially country music, right?" Lin Yuan thought for a moment and spoke.

"How do you know?" Taylor's eyes were a little alert.

"I've seen some of your performances before." To be more convincing, Lin Yuan continued, "For example, your concert before the Philadelphia 76ers game. You were great! You have great musical talent!"

"Really? Do you really think so?" The happiest thing for little Taylor is to be recognized for his musical talent.

"Of course, I guess you need some help now so that you can start your musical journey as soon as possible." Lin Yuan smiled and led her into his trap step by step.

"Yeah, my dad took me to visit record companies everywhere, but they always turned me down."

"Why not set up a record company? A record company that belongs to you and serves you." Lin Yuan further tempted.

"Where's that kind of money coming from? Even the smallest record company would need at least $50, and that doesn't even include the cost of subsequent albums." Taylor shook his head in annoyance. "How about I pay for it? I'm very optimistic about you and want to invest in your future." Lin Yuan's true intentions were exposed.

"I appreciate your appreciation, but I need to discuss this with my parents." Taylor is truly a precocious child, his calmness and composure are truly impressive.

"This is my cell phone number. I'll make a detailed plan later and discuss it in detail." After writing down his number, Lin Yuan continued:

"Although you and I are optimistic about you, you don't have the ability to debut yet. You need to receive complete basic music training."

"You're right, I still have a lot to learn." Taylor nodded.

"Don't be impatient. The faster you run, the more you need to be careful about your footing. I have plenty of patience. We can take it one step at a time."

Lin Yuan doesn't want to force things. Although he wants to help Taylor Swift soar to success as soon as possible, the necessary growth stage cannot be skipped.

Otherwise, she is destined not to go far in the future.

All Lin Yuan could do was to use his own funds to help her clear the obstacles on her way forward.

Of course, all this help is not in vain. He will set up a record company with Taylor.

With his holdings in this company, he can get unimaginable returns.

After finishing the conversation with Taylor, Lin Yuan quietly returned to his seat and gently crawled into the blanket.

He reached out his hand again, put it around Liu Yufei's waist, hugged her tightly, and then fell asleep peacefully.

There are no more dreams this night.

……

……

The next morning at eight o'clock, their sightseeing train arrived in Nashville.

In this beautiful country music capital, the two enjoyed a wonderful musical feast brought by singers from all over the world.

There are various forms of music performances at the festival, not just limited to country music, but also including blues, rock, jazz and other music.

Besides music, Nashville is also full of other cultural performances: street art, acrobatics, cabaret, stand-up comedy...

In the warm sunshine of early winter, Lin Yuan held the girl's soft little hand and walked through the streets and alleys.

Everything seems to be covered with a layer of dreamy soft light, the moving music, the girl's silver bell-like voice, and the bustling streets, all come together to form the beauty of youth.

People in their youth often don’t know how to cherish and think that everything will stay the same forever.

Only after many years, when youth has faded, will we pick up this time in the corner of our memories and sigh:
There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

Lin Yuan tried his best to experience the beauty of this day and wrote the memories solemnly in his heart. This is the most basic respect for youth for a reborn person.

Lin Yuan and Liu Yufei had a great time throughout the whole day.

It was not until nightfall that they boarded a flight to New York.

If she didn't go home soon, she would be discovered by her mother when she checked on her.

Only after sending Liu Yufei back home did Lin Yuan return to his own residence.

As soon as he opened the door, the system displayed golden text in front of him:
[Complete a date with any girl again. Host performance rating: S!]

[Host obtains skill reward: Boxing (Master Level)]
