Chapter 159 Singer

After training ended in the afternoon, Link drove to the Rooftop music bar on Third Avenue in Manhattan.

The last time he met Director Darren, he made an appointment here. Later he found that the environment here was good and the transportation was convenient. He had been here four or five times and it was considered a relatively familiar place.

But today Ivaca also chose this place to meet, which surprised him a little, and he felt that the other party might be staring at him.

When we arrived on the second floor, there were not many people. Only five of the sixteen booths had guests. Link glanced at the aisle and saw Ivaca.

She was sitting on the reading shelf in the corner, wearing a moon-white dress, revealing her slender white arms, and her long golden brown hair was **** at the back.

There are not many jewelry on her body, just an exquisite diamond-encrusted watch, and a thin platinum necklace hanging from her swan neck.

Her location was originally relatively remote and the light was dimmer, but when she sat there, the light seemed to suddenly brighten up, glowing with a white mist.

When Link passed by, Ivaca was flipping through a magazine, and there was a young man wearing designer clothes standing next to her. Ivaca lowered her head and said something, but the man walked away with a sad face and slumped shoulders.

“Eva, what did you just say to him?”

Link sat down opposite and smiled.

Ivaca glanced at him, straightened her graceful waist, folded her calves on her knees, and said calmly: "I told him that my boyfriend is here."

“So I acted as a shield again?”

"you are not willing?"

“Of course not, it’s my pleasure.”

Link smiled softly, called the waiter, and ordered a cup of scented tea.

“This is a bar, why don’t you order a drink?”

Ivaca asked gracefully as she swung her wine glass.

“I’m only 20, not the legal age to drink.”

Link shrugged his shoulders. The legal drinking age in the United States was 21, which was still a little short of him. Of course, if he wanted to drink, no one would catch him. This was just an excuse for him not to touch alcohol.

Ivaca's lips moved, but she quickly regained her composure. She flipped through the magazine and said, "The news said that you sang a new song at a country music festival and showed your love to Taylor Swift in a high-profile way. It's quite romantic."

“Yes, I learned it from movies.”

Link said with a slightly proud smile.

“Huh, I told you last time not to perform the songs in the album casually in public before the album is released, but you didn’t do it.”

Ivaca stared at him with her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her aura became sharper.

Link laughed dryly. He sang the song "Allofme" at the music festival last time. Afterwards, the media took the opportunity to hype up his and Taylor's love, saying that the two were the most well-matched couple in the entertainment industry.

That song has also experienced a huge increase in exposure and has been sought after by many people. It is considered the most classic love song in recent years.

 Many fans left messages on his Twitter, asking him to release the studio version as soon as possible. Everyone wants to hear it as soon as possible.

It’s just that this is a song from the third album, and it hasn’t been released yet.

“Eva, it was my fault, I promise I won’t do it again next time.”

Link said while holding the tea cup.

Ivaca shook her head and glanced at her watch: "Graeme and I have discussed that since this song has been released, the third album should be put on the schedule earlier. The second album will be released in June, and the third album will be released in January next year. Do you have any opinion?"

“No problem, I will listen to your arrangements regarding work matters.”

Link nodded and smiled.

—

On the first floor of Rooftop Music Bar, a tall girl with heavy makeup came in from outside carrying a guitar.

Bartender Lili saw her and immediately approached her and said, "Lana, Link is here, at the corner of the second floor."

The girl with heavy makeup glanced upstairs and immediately cheered up, but shrugged her shoulders the next second and said, "Forget it. I sang several times and failed to attract his attention. He must not have taken a liking to it." I."

“Lana, don’t give up, you sing so beautifully, why don’t you try again?”

Lily encouraged.

She was friends with Lana and knew that Lana wanted to become a professional singer.

By chance, she saw Link sitting at a bar, so she gave Lana some advice, sang to Link, and tried to find a way to impress him.

Link is not only a singer, but also has a music company. If he can be impressed, he will have the opportunity to become a singer.

"Okay, let's try again." The girl with heavy makeup hesitated, nodded, and carried the guitar to the second floor. She immediately saw Link sitting in the corner.

Wearing a baseball shirt with a stand-up collar, he has short black hair, blue eyes, and an angular profile that seems to have been carefully carved by a sculpture artist, making it delicate and three-dimensional.

His face has no acne marks, no scars, not even a single freckle. It is as clean and refreshing as the sky in Hawaii.

His raised sword eyebrows are dark and thick, symbolizing his strong and masculine character, while the slightly raised corners of his lips appear gentle and sensual.

The first time Lana saw him in person, she was amazed by his face. She felt that this kind of person didn't need any talent and could charm a large number of girls with just his face.

But he is also an Olympic champion, a world boxing champion, a popular singer, and a youth idol.

Lana told Lily privately that people like Link were born to be envied and jealous.

In order to attract his attention, every time she heard Link coming to the bar, she would put on beautiful makeup, dress up carefully, and come to the bar to sing.

She sang here three or four times without Link even looking over. This made her very discouraged and felt that she was doing useless work. She also complained that Link had bad ears and didn't know how to appreciate music.

She also saw the girl opposite Link. She had blond hair and big breasts. She also raised her swan neck when speaking. She had a good temperament and seemed to be Iwaka.

Evaka is a socialite who often appears in magazines and TV, so she naturally knows her.

In addition, Ivaka is also the co-founder of Link Music.

Are the two of you dating or talking about work?

Lana glanced at the two of them, showed a wicked smile, sat in front of the microphone with her guitar in her arms, and sang "You Belong with Me" from Taylor's second album.

“What do you think of her singing?”

Ivaka stopped speaking and pointed in the direction of the stage.

Hearing someone singing Taylor's song, Link turned his head and saw that it was the female singer with heavy makeup.

He heard the other party sing several times in the bar.

Singing is good, with a hoarse and lazy voice, similar to the psychedelic music and decadent Trip-Hop style of the United States in the 1960s, like a professionally trained singer.

It’s just that in the bars and nightclubs of Los Angeles and New York, there are too many such singers, and there are also many who are no worse than professional singers.

However, the music industry has limited resources and fierce competition. Without strong singing ability, creative ability, or outstanding appearance, it is difficult to gain a foothold in the music industry.

For example, Taylor’s singing ability and appearance are above level A, and her creative ability is S;

 Link’s appearance is S-level, his singing ability is A-, and his creative ability will remain S-level in the next twenty years. Celebrities bring their own traffic and capital.

These are the two capitals for them to gain a foothold in the music world.

The **** the stage has average appearance, unknown creative ability, and A-level singing ability. She can only be considered a potential singer. She can be signed or not.

“Not bad, but her voice is a bit dull and not suitable for Taylor’s upbeat songs.”

Link suddenly remembered that Ivaca had said last time that he had spotted two good singers and asked him to go and see them together.

“She is one of the two singers you like?”

“Yes, I have seen the videos she posted on YouTube and I think she has certain nurturing value.”

“Then talk to her, I believe in your vision.”

Link nodded. Originally, he had a little intention of signing a contract with the other party. Now Ivaca also has this idea and can try signing it.

He called the waiter, took out a business card and handed it to the girl who was singing.

After Lana finished singing, she was about to leave the stage with her guitar on her back. A waiter came over and gave her her business card and pointed to Link's seat.

Lana glanced at the two of them, and her heart suddenly jumped.

She had met several talent scouts before and signed a record contract in 2005. Unfortunately, the market response was mediocre and the record company gave up on it.

Last year, she released her first solo EP "KillKill" at her own expense, which didn't make much of a splash.

But she didn’t want to give up, so she posted singing videos on YouTube, hoping to attract the attention of record companies and become a signed singer. However, she experienced several setbacks and did not have much confidence in signing a contract.

Link and Iwaka are both here now, and they also sent a business card.

Are you optimistic about yourself and want to sign a contract with yourself?

Lana walked in the direction of the two of them with an anxious mood.
