Chapter 212 The couple’s daily life
Los Angeles, the bright sunshine shines on the clear water, and the water in the swimming pool is warmed by the sun.
Link swam twice in the water in shorts, and returned to the balcony. Taylor was still lying on the yoga mat, but he was not practicing yoga, but writing songs.
It has been nearly a year since the release of the second album "Fearless", and it has reached the end of its announcement period. The next step is to consider the third album.
Taylor started writing songs and poems at the age of ten, and has also won an award from the National Poetry Contest. In recent years, she has accumulated a song list of more than 300 songs, which is a real bonanza.
Originally, the songs in the three majors could be selected from the playlist, but she didn’t want to rest on her laurels. She felt that the songs she wrote now must be better than those in the past, and she wanted to write better songs.
Link was somewhat impressed by her professionalism.
“Link, what should I do if I can’t write?”
Taylor was lying in the sun, wearing yoga pants and white suspenders, fully displaying her tall and **** figure.
Seeing him coming up, Taylor raised his head, frowning his slender eyebrows, with a little irritation on his face.
“Don’t be anxious, take your time, you are a creative master, this little trouble will not be a problem for you.”
Link smiled softly, wiped his hair with a towel, picked up a sports T-shirt and put it on, took off his swimming trunks and put on a pair of looser sports pants.
“Hey, exhibitionist, we’re still here, how can you just strip naked?”
Taylor covered Olivia's eyes with his hands and glared at him angrily. Olivia meowed and yawned.
Link smiled softly, "Sorry, I forgot that Ollie and Merry are here too!"
"snort!"
Taylor sat up cross-legged, hugged Olivia and Meridian and said, "Not only have I been unable to write in the past few days, but I have also been unable to write a song that satisfies me this month."
“Really, it sounds like the problem is serious.”
“It’s very serious. Not only this month, but since we moved in together, I seem to have suddenly run out of inspiration, and the quality of the songs I write is getting worse and worse.”
Link picked his ears with his fingers and looked at her speechlessly.
“So if you can’t write a song, it’s me that’s the problem?”
Tyler blinked at him with blue eyes and nodded seriously.
“I used to feel isolated, lonely, and sad when I lived alone. I would feel sad when it rained. I would be moved to tears even if I read any romance movie or novel.
Since we moved in together, those feelings suddenly disappeared. My perception is becoming dull, and my ability to empathize with the characters in the story is declining. If this continues, I am worried that I will not be able to write a good song in the future. What should I do? what to do? "
ˆ “.”
Link was also puzzled by this question.
The reason why Taylor can become the queen of the music industry is because she is extremely capable of writing and performing songs, and can write some high-level songs.
The reason she was able to write these songs is that she sacrificed many ex-boyfriends and many relationships.
But now the situation has changed. She does not have so many stories and materials to create, so she will naturally encounter difficulties in creation.
Link thought for a while, "How about I write it? I have a few songs that are suitable for you."
“No! I am a singer-songwriter and I must write my own songs. Singers who rely on others to write songs will only become a singing tool in the future. I don’t want to be that kind of person.”
Taylor said seriously.
Link shrugged his shoulders and stopped forcing her.
“Well, why don’t you talk to those seniors who are more powerful in creation and ask them if they have ever encountered this kind of problem and how to solve it. There are so many creative masters in the music industry, I believe there will always be a solution.”
Taylor pursed her lips, glanced at him, and nodded hesitantly.
Link took out a basket of freshly picked strawberries from the refrigerator, sat cross-legged opposite Taylor, ate the strawberries and said, "A few days ago you went on stage to receive the award and the microphone was taken away. Were you angry? Do you want to write this? "
Taylor put her pen to her chin and thought for a while.
"I was a little surprised at the time. I never thought he would dare to do this. Just when I was about to get angry, you came up. When I saw you grabbing the microphone, Kanye was so scared that he didn't dare to move. I thought it was funny. Afterwards, fans They all support me and I don’t seem to be angry when they criticize Kanye.”
Link smiled lightly.
In the original microphone grabbing incident, Taylor stood alone on the podium.
After Kanye said Beyoncé’s “Single Ladise” was the coolest.
There was a burst of boos from the audience, and many audience members stood up and gave thumbs up.
Taylor thought that the audience was here for her and that she should not win the award, so she was quite frightened.
But this time, because she followed her on stage and mobilized fans to support her, Taylor was not affected, which also caused her to be unable to find inspiration from this matter.
Link picked up a strawberry with cream and put it to her mouth.
"Imagine if I didn't go up and you were standing there alone, facing the ridicule of Kanye and the East Coast rappers, would you be very flustered or angry? If you think about this, you might be inspired. "
Tyler ate the strawberry, tilted his head and thought for a while, and scratched his hair angrily.
“Still no inspiration, what should I do?”
Link didn’t have a good idea, but as Taylor’s boyfriend, he couldn’t ignore it when he saw her in trouble.
At his suggestion, the two went to the Aviation Cinema on 14th Street in Santa Monica to watch a newly released love movie "500 Days with Summer."
It is about a dedicated man who, after being abandoned by his girlfriend, begins to recall and reflect on the 500 days they spent together.
This movie is the most popular love movie in recent times, and its box office performance is also very impressive.
Released in early August, the North American box office accumulated in the first month reached 52.37 million U.S. dollars, while the film cost was only 7.5 million U.S. dollars.
The attendance rate was higher than that of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" released at the same time.
Taylor watched the movie with a blank expression, saying that the male protagonist looked like a child and was not suitable to be a boyfriend.
Link and Taylor went to the Los Angeles Music Center and listened to a solo concert by blind singer Andrea Bocelli, learning singing techniques from the master. Afterwards, the two chatted with each other for a while backstage. “Don’t be anxious, inspiration comes unexpectedly, and it’s useless to rush.”
On the way back, Link persuaded.
Taylor leaned on his seat, eating cherry ice cream and said: "I wasn't that anxious originally. You thought I was anxious. One moment you took me to a movie, and the next moment you went to a concert. It seemed like you could go to those places. It’s like finding inspiration.”
Link smiled lightly, "So I'm just worrying about it?"
"As long as you know."
Tyler took the spoon, scooped up a scoop of ice cream and put it to his mouth.
Link opened his mouth and ate it. The cold and sweet taste relieved the heat on his lips.
Jingle Bell!
The cell phone in the handbag rang several times. Taylor took it out and saw that it was Selena's phone.
“Selena, Link is driving, is something wrong?”
Tyler turned on his phone and asked for voiceover.
“Taylor, the new Billboard singles chart is out, have you paid attention to it?”
Selena’s voice on the microphone is lively, with some joy and excitement.
“Not today, please tell us where “LetItGo” ranks on the singles chart?”
“Haha, you guys guess first? Guess quickly, Link also wants to guess.”
Selena said.
“I guess No. 99.”
Link said with a smile.
"Hmph! No! It's too far off, Taylor, Link is too stupid, you have to guess."
Selena said angrily.
Taylor smiled slightly and said, "You sang that song very well and the lyrics are also very good. I guess it should be in the top twenty."
“Haha, it’s No. 18. My first single landed at No. 18 on the singles chart in the first week after it was released. I’m really amazing.”
Selena said excitedly.
Link and Taylor both couldn't help laughing.
“Selena, congratulations. Your first single entered the Billboard singles chart at No. 18 before you turned 18. It’s really great.”
Taylor praised.
"Haha, it's not that great. Miley is. She has many singles that have entered the top 20 of the singles chart. There is also that Canadian guy Justin Bieber, who is only fifteen years old and released a single last month. Entered the top thirty.”
Selena said slightly modestly.
“Yes, knowing how to be humble means that you still have room for improvement.”
“Hmm, if you had an older brother whose albums topped the sales charts for many weeks and whose singles topped the charts for many weeks, you would also be humble.”
Selena whispered softly.
“So it’s my fault again?”
Link said with a smile.
“Again?” Selina asked confused.
Taylor interjected from the side: "Selena, will "SeeYouAgain" continue to top the singles chart this week?"
"Yes, the weekly sales of "SeeYouAgain" are 817,000 copies, which is twice as much as the second place Kesha's "TikTok" and more than 10 times more than our subsequent singles. It's too exaggerated. This song will probably dominate the charts. One year.”
"No, "SeeYouAgain" has an obvious downward trend. Based on this week's sales, it can probably last two or three weeks. Come on, you all have a chance."
Mainly because there were too many top players in the European and American music scene in 2009.
Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Adele, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, as well as the older generation Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Avril Lavigne, Amy Winehouse, etc. Wait, the gods fight.
No matter whose song it is, it is very difficult to dominate the charts in the past two years.
Link asked Selena again if the release date of her first album had been confirmed to prevent her from colliding with Lana.
Selena said that the plan is to wait until the second promotional single is released at the end of October before it will be officially released globally.
Selena’s album contains two songs that Link wrote for her. After her album is released, Link will also receive some writer’s share.
“By the way, how are your test scores this year? On Christmas Day, we said that you have to get B+ or above in all exams before I write a song for you. The song has been given to you in advance. Why haven’t I seen the score card yet?”
“Ah? What did you say? Please speak louder. The signal here is not good. Let’s talk another day.”
Hunting!
Selena hurriedly hung up the phone.
“Haha, you are so disappointing. Why are you asking for test scores at this time?”
Taylor patted him on the shoulder.
Link shook his head and was about to put away his phone when his phone rang again, showing Iwaka.
Tyler blinked, slid his finger over the phone, and put it to his ear.
Link felt a little numb.
