American Fortune Life

Dayao, who was on his way to the Francis Foundation event, received a call from Boss, "I was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies."

Dayao opened his mouth exaggeratedly. This news is undoubtedly very shocking and unpredictable. However, thinking of Uncle Mu ’s recent statement, perhaps it is precisely to leave Uncle Mu that the Rockets will be so eager to trade Francis in the traditional Christmas Eve in the West. .

Dayao, who was holding his mobile phone in silence, thought of the summer of 2002. It was Frances himself who won the No. 1 pick and took him to the Houston Rockets.

When he first arrived in Houston, he looked a little bit green, and Francis helped him grow step by step. For Dayao, his transfer was naturally sad. Houston has always been Francis' home, and it's not easy for him.

Seeing his best friend leave again, in addition to sighing, Dayao can only wish Boss Eve good luck.

"Your departure is a loss for the Rockets. But as an nba player, only playing in the field is valuable. I wish you all the best. I hope you will get a chance to play in Memphis and live in the Grizzlies. Good, although it is cruel. Of course for the Grizzlies, this is good news. They finally have an experienced player to lead the team. "

After hanging up the phone, Dayao Yan shook his head with a bitter smile on his face, and the Tianchao sports reporter with the car had learned from the conversation just now that this blast was going on. In addition to being excited, there was also shock.

"Boss is ranked behind a lot of players here, he is very difficult to get a chance to play, and he really wants to play. After Memphis, he looks like he will have a chance to play. This may be a good result."

Seeing that Dayao was a little sad, the reporter hurried to comfort him. Dayao just smiled and said rather helplessly: "nba is like this, this is a business, very cruel, and to be honest, I sometimes think that I become After the veteran ... "

"Oh, you don't need to have this kind of worry. Mr. Smith won't push your cash cow out. In China, everyone knows that you and the team owner are good buddies, non-selling products of the Rockets, and real treasures.

Even the Christmas decorations of the arena are all red from the dynasty, and there are dynasty elements everywhere. Isn't it cheerleaders who are late to perform in cheongsam? "

Hearing the reporter ’s words, Dayao can only sneer, but he is also very proud, because of his reason, the cultural elements of the heavenly dynasty are really popular in Houston, okay, although the management is to make money, and it is very unscrupulous A variety of kneeling tiantian market.

But look at the Toyota Center advertising space almost occupied by the Tianchao advertisers, the team ’s skyrocketing market value, amazing profit figures, and you can understand that management will spare no effort in packaging, so that domestic fans will have a rocket. Home team concept.

Typical American business thinking, as to what ideology and who can make money will pay attention to ...

"Mr. Smith, can I take a picture with you alone?"

At the Armani store in the Commercial Galleries of Houston, Andy nodded with a smile, took the bank card, stood with the little freckled cashier, and closed the window with the help of another clerk. Shadow.

Ivana, standing aside, kept an elegant smile on her face, but for the Bichi who were everywhere to take photos with Andy alone, ignoring her beauty and the identity of Andy's fiancee, she was really a little scratched Crazy.

"Sorry"

With a smile, Andy declined the female clerks who wanted to wait in line to take a photo. She stretched out her arms and smiled, but her eyes became sharper and Ivana walked out of the store.

"Oh, okay, just a photo, can you still be jealous if you can hold and enjoy it all day long?"

"Pooh!"

Ivana gave her man a charming white glance, "I am crazy!"

The two stayed together and continued to experience the Christmas atmosphere in Houston, although under the impact of the financial crisis, American Christmas consumption quietly changed. They have had a "tight day" and are more precise and try their best to reduce their shopping budget.

However, the commercial arcade shopping center where Andy and Ivana visit is still very lively. A 7,8-meter-high Christmas tree stands in the lobby of the center, and every corner is full of festive atmosphere.

Click

Andy and Ivana smiled along the way and rushed to the people who greeted them, and more people took out their mobile phones to take pictures. The more people gathered, the more slowly they faced Andy and Ivana. forward.

Under the tall Christmas tree, a man dressed in Santa costumes, holding a guitar and playing an echo bgm and singing a song, saw the crowd slowly flowing and Andy Smith's familiar face.

Seems to be thinking, one eye turned, turned off bgm music, holding the guitar and started singing and singing "When Christmas Comes to Town"

i’gonasta ... "

"Oh oh"

After hearing the familiar music, Andy shook his head and laughed happily, while Ivana smiled happily, snuggling in Andy's arms, looking at Andy's smiling face obsessively, listening to the people around Exclaimed.

Andy nodded at the savvy singer with a smile and raised his thumb.

At this time, the Santa Claus, playing the guitar, leaned slightly to the side, raised a toe, made a difficult invitation, gave up the position of the microphone, and invited Andy to sing.

Andy shook his head with a smile, but with the cheers and cheers from the people around him, and warm applause, Andy smirked rather helplessly, while Ivana, who couldn't stop smiling, was He patted his bear mouth, followed by coaxing and encouraging him, and let Andy shake his head while walking forward to give him a high-five.

Standing in front of the microphone, I began to sing, and more and more people gathered around, even the people on the second floor held their mobile phones to point out their heads to shoot this rare live concert.

Throughout the center, Andy's magnetic and ethereal singing echoed, and the surrounding people and Ivana surrounded by bodyguards quietly listened.

At the end of the singing, Andy slumped slightly, in a warm applause, and Anke's shout, smiled and said, "merrytmas!"

"Encore!"

"Encore!"

"Encore!"

The more and more neat "sing again" shouted, and made Andy helplessly grin, spreading his hands at Ivana, what do you think?

"Encore! Encore!"

Ivana also giggled, clapping her hands and shouting, so that the people around laughed and joined the shouting.

"Ok, ok everyone be quiet!"

After the audience was quiet, Andy looked around for a week, the surrounding water was leaking, gathered hundreds of people, and a cell phone upstairs aimed at him.

"2008 is just a few days away. There have been too many misfortunes in the past year. I hope that all of this will keep away from everyone in 2008.

An unreleased new song for everyone, Orion Constellation, best wishes to Christmas bestwishesontyseason ... "

"Papa"

The applause and whistle came one after another. In cheers, Andy took over the guitar from Santa Claus, the creator of the incident, and after Andy put it on his back, the scene became quiet during the tuning interval.

Standing in front of the microphone, Andy closed his eyes, quickly passed the Chinese-English version of the Chinese version in his head, and plucked the strings.

"Do you remember? How did the night come.

Say nothing, as if from the sky, as tender as a fingertip.

Did you get it, looking forward to life.

The sound of the tide in the dream.

How did they slip through their fingers, like the wind blowing in the wilderness ... "

The singing is fresh and soft. There are no grand announcements and no black criticisms. Some are just peace from martyrdom, and light and gentle talk. In addition, the echo from the open space, there is an ethereal feeling. Involuntarily closed my eyes and listened quietly.

"The world is talking in the fog

Come on and disappear

Never seen this maze

All the wrong way

Those who die, stay in the night sky

Light up for you

Sometimes you ride the wind, sometimes you sink

Sometimes there is a rainbow at midnight

Sometimes you sing songs, sometimes you are silent

Sometimes you look at the sky ... "

Andy sang this song live, and the lyrics were only sung once. Most of the time, he played the melody of his song with his humming and guitar. The beautiful melody made him immersed in it. Patting the resonance box, clean, simple, and even naive ...

Ivana and many others are infected by the beautiful singing and melody, the kind of regret in life, the kind that please believe that the world is really happy. It seems that Andy is singing to everyone, regret does not represent tragedy, because we can still find that feeling of heartbeat in expectation, and always look forward to it.

Maybe good music can always touch the soul. Many people who are intoxicated in the melody present unconsciously have tears on their cheeks.

"okokokok……"

Andy's humming slowly disappeared, the melody stopped, and the scene was silent. Andy slowly opened his eyes and saw the different expressions of everyone, music has no borders!

"Thank you, merrytmas!"

Hum

"Papa"

There were thunderous applause at the scene. Many people shouted Andy's name loudly. Many fans were already in tears and wanted to rush up, shocking Andy's bodyguards. Six bodyguards Hurrying to guard Ivana to the side, the other four came forward and blocked Andy.

A casual act, a perfect performance, but the end was a little daunting.

Facing the swarming crowd, Andy clenched her face with the expression of a small fan girl, and, under the **** of the bodyguards and the mall security, left the Houston Commercial Corridor Shopping Center, but unfortunately interrupted the shopping trip.

However, Ivana was not uncomfortable about it, but instead leaned on Andy sweetly in the car, and let Andy continue to hum to her.
