HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 386 [386] One Album, Three Crowns! Conquering the Fortress of the American Music Scene?
The paparazzi waited outside for over an hour before finally getting Qi Yuan to come out.

They immediately rushed over and started snapping photos of Qi Yuan and the other two.

Hathaway's eyes lit up. She took the initiative to ask Qi Yuan out, her goal being to get paparazzi to take photos of her and Qi Yuan together.

The music video for "Perfect" became a huge hit, and she gained a lot of attention.

Recently, producers and film companies have been inviting her to star in movies.

Being the female lead in Qi Yuan's music video already has such great benefits, wouldn't becoming Qi Yuan's rumored girlfriend make her an instant sensation across America?
When asked by paparazzi about the relationship between the three, Hathaway quickly answered.

"Chris and I are very good friends, and his talent was irresistible to me during the filming of the 'Perfect' music video."

The melodies he hummed casually could linger in my mind for a long time, and I became his most loyal listener in America.

He was also a very warm person. I remember that after we finished all the filming that day, he taught me to play the guitar all night.

The reporter felt like his soul was about to fly away.

It turns out that the woman Qi Yuan was photographed spending the night with was the female lead in "Perfect".
Some media outlets and fans had previously speculated that it was her, but the photos were too blurry, and no consensus could be reached.

Now that the real culprit has come out and confirmed it, Hathaway's words alone are enough to earn them a hefty bonus.

Shakira is very smart. She knows that Qi Yuan is aiming for three or four championships with one album, and she is very grateful to Qi Yuan, so she chose to give him a helping hand.

"You're asking me what my relationship with Qi is? He fulfills all my beautiful fantasies about a man. I'm even considering going back to discuss it with my fiancé."

The paparazzi had another blast.

Performance bonuses and rewards have become more generous.

Then they pressed Qi Yuan for answers.

Qi Yuan's tone and style in answering questions remained consistent with before: "Is it really that surprising that one album has three number one hits? I said that I am a top superstar in China, and I will strive to be a top superstar in the United States as well. My goal is to be number one. Maybe I can't do it with one album, but maybe I will with my second or third album in the future."

The paparazzi felt both thrilled and exasperated: "..."

They absolutely adore artists like Qi Yuan.

If their newspaper doesn't sell well tomorrow, they'll all wash their hair upside down.

……

The paparazzi were happy, and so was Qi Yuan.

night.

At a high-end hotel.

"Annie, remember to wear the Catwoman costume, and don't forget the eye patch."

Qi Yuan gave Hathaway a word of advice as she entered the bathroom.

The most beautiful catwoman, how could she not wear her battle armor?

The character Catwoman first appeared in 1940 in the first issue of the Batman comic.

In 1966, Batman was brought to the big screen, and Catwoman followed suit.

Of all the Catwoman portrayals, Hathaway's Catwoman is the most classic and also the one that best aligns with modern aesthetics.

Elegant and noble, possessing both wisdom and beauty, and capable of both good and evil, she is the goddess in the hearts of countless people.

A moment later, Qi Yuan experienced the fierce allure of Hathaway's Catwoman.

More than an hour later, Hathaway, panting heavily, kissed Qi Yuan on the cheek: "Chris, do you think I'm a very scheming woman?"

She approached Qi Yuan with the intention of gaining popularity and attention from the very beginning.

She wants to ride on Qi Yuan's popularity in the United States to become famous all over America, and tomorrow she can achieve her goal.

After getting to know Qi Yuan, she found herself becoming quite infatuated with this Asian man.

Qi Yuan's appearance is similar to that of a young Tom Cruise; he's a pretty boy. Even though Tom Cruise is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, he could still capture the hearts of countless European and American women.

Qi Yuan is taller than Tom Cruise, can play music, is talented, young, has good manners, and is easy to talk to in private, unlike some artists who start to act like divas after they become famous.

Hathaway felt it would be abnormal not to be attracted to a man like that.

Many of the things she said to the paparazzi during the day that praised Qi Yuan were true.

It was precisely because she had a good impression of Qi Yuan that she asked this question.

Qi Yuan patted Hathaway's butt nonchalantly and said, "Who in this industry doesn't want to be famous? If you don't want to be famous, wouldn't it be better to do Broadway?"

He saw through Hathaway's intentions from the beginning, but he didn't care.

He has had numerous rumored relationships with female celebrities in China, so he will definitely treat foreign female celebrities the same way when they go abroad.

Hathaway wanted to ride on his fame, but he was attracted to Hathaway's beauty. There was no scheming involved; it was an equal exchange.

No one is perfect. Sometimes being more authentic, more sincere, and less pretentious can make more people like you.

Qi Yuan spoke in a light and cheerful voice, offering a few words of advice to Hathaway, though it was unclear whether she would heed them.

Her personality is somewhat conflicted, or perhaps she's too bound by the image of a perfect person, always wanting to show everyone her perfect side.

For example, she said in an interview that she lived a simple life, did not pursue brand names, and that having a house to live in and a car to drive was enough, but then it was revealed that she owned a large number of luxury goods.

The most famous Oscar controversy involved her saying that she didn't particularly want to win the award, but in her acceptance speech she kept thanking everyone, and she was so moved that she cried.

She said she didn't care, but what everyone saw was a carefully prepared 'little scheme'.

Once her perfect persona crumbles, she'll attract a lot of criticism.

Later, she made some changes, and her reputation immediately recovered considerably.

……

In the coming days, news about Qi Yuan, Shakira, and Hathaway will sweep across the United States.

[A trans-Pacific love triangle! Unveiling the story of Chris Qi and the two female protagonists]

Witnesses described the atmosphere as ambiguous, with people whispering and laughing for hours, while Shakira's fiancé remained nowhere to be seen!

Warner Music artist Christian Louie has been spotted on a three-way date with Latin pop star Shakira and a Hollywood newcomer!

The surge in popularity quickly paid off, and another week's Billboard chart update arrived.

The number one single was changed to "Perfect", achieving the feat of one album winning three number one spots.

In addition to "See You Again," which just broke into the top ten, and "Viva La Vida" and "Somebody That I Used To Know," which remained in the top ten.

One album had four songs that simultaneously made it into the top ten of the charts.

This time, top stars and superstars such as Eminem, Madonna, Linkin Park, Westlife, Britney Spears, and Michael Jackson have all taken notice of this arrogant artist from Asia.

The American media was in an uproar.

Why did the once-powerful American music scene decline?

A music fanatic from the East has breached the 'impregnable' fortress!

[American music scene, you need to reflect!]

A rising superstar is shining in America's 21st-century Asian music scene!

Qi Yuan and Zhang Hao were stunned when they saw the news headline.

I used to only see articles in China urging Chinese people to reflect on their own experiences, but here in the US I'm seeing articles that make Americans reflect on their own experiences? It's like a small knife pulling a big hole—it's an eye-opener.
