America's Top Player

Chapter 152 Two Sisters
Two days later, the Billboard Music Awards were held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

In the stretched Lincoln, only Ariana was with Leon.

This is in stark contrast to the situation at previous Grammy Awards.

At that time, he was surrounded by the female generals of Apocalypse Music, including Robbie.

Li Ang's mentality has changed drastically since then.

After being a runner-up for many major awards, he played the role of a supporting actor.

His attendance this time was completely in the posture of a new king ascending the throne.

In the Lincoln, the CD was playing "Set Fire to the Rain", another masterpiece from Adele's album "21".

But there's a side to you
But there's a side of you that I never knew

That I never knew, never knew.
I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
Anything you said
They were never true, never true
They'll never come true, never come true

Listening to the lyrics, Li Ang suddenly felt a sense of discomfort.

Frowning, he ordered the driver, "Turn off the damn music."

"Why? I really like this song by Miss Adele." Ariana snuggled in Leon's arms, immersed in sweetness.

She treated herself as the queen.

"I don't like this." Li Ang spread his hands. "It's not that I have any doubts about Adele's music. I hate these whining and sad songs. We just want to spend some time together."

Ariana wasn't at all surprised by the cold response.

The flash lights outside the car window made her dizzy and her cheeks flushed.

“He’s really cool.”

Since this is the first time in four years that this award has been restored, the official has spared no effort to revive the reputation of the Billboard Awards.

This awards ceremony not only invited most of the popular singers, but also invited many Hollywood actors to participate.

This resulted in the short venue aisles being packed with cars.

The Lincoln sedan that Li Ang was riding in was less than 100 meters away from the red carpet, but he was unable to move forward.

"These damn bitches"

"Even if they stood on this tattered blanket for a whole day, not many cameras would be willing to focus on them."

Looking at the third-tier actor standing on the red carpet and reluctant to leave, Li Ang cursed out loud.

"It's understandable that many people are attending an awards ceremony like this for the first time," Ariana reassured.

"It's not what you think." Li Ang sneered. "Those bitches who don't even have any work rely on these red carpet events every year to gain exposure. If there weren't security on site, they might even dare to do X on the red carpet."

"Honey!" Ariana was stunned by Leon's rude remarks.

"For those damn shots, there's nothing these women can't do." Leon looked at Kim Kardashian who was strutting around on the red carpet.

Her rise to fame was controversial, but that's not uncommon in Hollywood.

The glamour and cruelty of Hollywood are several orders of magnitude higher than those of the music industry.

In the music industry, no matter how many producers a person has slept with, there are always financial sponsors behind him.

If you don’t have the ability to create, you don’t have the ability to create. If you can’t sing, you can’t sing.

It's hard to become popular even if you spend money.

But it's different in Hollywood.

Women with good looks and figures can always find a place in Hollywood as long as they dare to give up everything for fame.

Kardashian wore a black tulle dress, and except for the three important points, the rest of her body was exposed.

Compared with the stars present, Kardashian, who is only 1.6 meters tall, can only show her presence in special ways.

For example, the chest and taillights have a strong sense of technology.

"It seems that this woman is quite popular right now." Kardashian's unique outfit attracted half of the cameras, and even Leon had to admire the woman's skills.

She used every resource she could to hype herself up.

Marriage, love, parents.
Anything that can be hyped is the fuel that makes her a star.

Kardashian lingered on the red carpet for more than ten minutes before leaving reluctantly.

The crowd in front suddenly burst into huge cheers.

"Robbie! Robbie!"

Robbie stepped onto the red carpet in a pure white dress.

She smiled and waved to everyone, and with her blonde hair and blue eyes, she looked like an elf queen who had descended to the earth.

The fans and paparazzi who sneaked into the scene were also thrown into a frenzy.

Cameras and cameras were constantly pointing at her, almost putting the camera lens in her face.

Everyone wants to try to figure out one thing: did she and Li Ang break up?
When the reporters saw Robbie walking on the red carpet alone, most of their guesses were confirmed.

Even so, they still rushed to ask sharp questions until Robbie could tell them the answers they wanted in person.

"Miss Robbie, have you really broken up with Mr. Leon?"

"We want to know why! Is it because of Ms. Beyoncé?"

"It can't be Taylor Swift! Did you know they were sitting in a car eating hot dogs in private?"

"Someone photographed Mr. Leon entering and leaving Taylor's Beverly Hills mansion. What do you think about this?"

"Mr. Li Ang produced 'Bang Bang' and it topped the Billboard charts. Why didn't you participate in this work?"

Robbie chose to ignore all the sharp questions raised by reporters.

But he always kept a smile on his face and quickly entered the venue accompanied by his assistant and agent Maggie.

Li Ang stretched his neck to watch all this, with a relieved smile on his face.

It seems that Robbie has not been affected by herself, she has become a mature artist.

When Ariana saw this, she pouted out of jealousy.

At tonight's awards ceremony, she and Robbie are actually competitors.

"Senorita" was nominated for Best Radio Song.

She's competing against Robbie's "Faded" and Mars' "Just The Way You Are" for Best Radio Song.

"It's our turn." Li Ang straightened his collar. "Don't be nervous. Just ignore those annoying paparazzi."

"Yeah." Ariana held Leon's arm tightly.

The two shocked the whole audience as soon as they appeared.

Originally many cameras were focused on the "Fast and Furious" team led by super action star Vin Diesel, but now they were instantly plundered.

Li Ang may not be as famous as Vin Diesel, but he is far ahead in terms of popularity.

He has always been at the center of the storm in the entertainment industry.

"Wow!" The reporters collectively exclaimed as they watched Leon and Ariana being so close.

They originally thought that Leon's cheating partner was Beyoncé or Taylor Swift.
Now it seems that the pattern is still too small.

"Mr. Leon, can you tell me about you and Miss Robbie?"

"Is Ariana your new girlfriend? Is this official?"

At first, Li Ang didn't intend to answer these questions until a bold reporter asked: "How many people have you cheated with?"

Li Ang walked up to the reporter.

Almost face to face, he whispered word by word, "I cheated on your mother, why don't you ask that bitch?"

His signature "street coconut-style answering method" made the reporters even more excited, and Li Ang became the undisputed focus among the stars on the red carpet.

Until Puff Daddy and his gang showed up in the car behind.

Diddy got out of the car with Lil Wayne and Pitbull, holding the arm of rap star Nicki Minaj.

Adding fuel to the heat on the red carpet.

Reporters hurriedly called out to him, "Didi! Li Ang is right in front of you. What do you want to say to him?"

Just when everyone thought Didi wouldn't answer this question in front of the camera, he took off his sunglasses and looked Li Ang in the eye.

He said meaningfully: "I wish him good morning, good afternoon and good night."

The reporters whispered to each other and speculated on the intention of these words.

But Li Ang understood instantly.

This sentence is a classic line from Jim Carrey's movie "The Truman Show".

It also has the first half of the sentence - "If I never see you again."

After the red carpet session, the two walked into the MGM Hotel venue.

"Hi~Bro, I'm here!"

"What a coincidence! The organizer arranged for us to sit together!"

As soon as he entered the venue, Li Ang saw a short figure waving at him not far away.

It's Mars.

"This troublesome gambler." Li Ang saw the other person's swollen cheeks and dark circles under his eyes at a glance.

God knows how long it has been since this guy had a good sleep.

For gamblers, they cannot feel the passage of time at the card table.

All the casinos in Las Vegas add oxygen to the air to keep gamblers energetic at all times.

Until you lose every last penny in your pocket.

Leon and Ariana sat down in the second row, and Mars came over with an excited look on his face.

"Damn Bro~ What the hell have you been up to these days?" Mars asked, "You're not hanging out with this chick in the hotel all the time!"

Ariana's face flushed red, and she swallowed what she wanted to say.

Seeing this, Li Ang warned, "Watch your tone! Damn it! Don't you know Ariana?"

It is obvious that Mars's passion for gambling has caused his memory to decline.

His mind was full of royal flush, and it took him 20 seconds to remember that Ariana was the original singer of "Senorita".

"Hey Bro~ I have to say you missed a gold mine." Mars sighed, "Jordan has left Las Vegas."

"How much money did you win from him?" Li Ang rolled his eyes.

With Mars's terrible poker skills and poor playing style, it is hard to imagine that he can get the value of Jordan at the poker table.

Jordan is not only an outstanding basketball player, but also a rare shrewd businessman among black people.

Even Dre and JAY-Z can't compare to him.

"Lost a million dollars," Mars sighed, but still had a smiling expression on his face.

Li Ang asked doubtfully, "Are you so happy even though you lost money?"

"You don't understand, Bro! This is called investing!" Mars said. "I deliberately lost the million dollars, just as a ticket to enter Jordan's circle of poker friends!"

"I'll get this money back tenfold from him later. Don't you think I'm a genius?"

Li Ang was speechless for a moment and could only respond with "ah, yes, yes, yes".

Guests entered the venue one after another, and 70% of the seats were already occupied.

During this period, Li Ang also met many acquaintances.

Directors James Wan and David Fincher were also invited by the organizers and came over to say hello to him.

After a while, Li Ang noticed out of the corner of his eye a tall and beautiful figure approaching him.

Hollywood's new goddess Amber Heard is approaching him.

She was also accompanied by a man with deep and melancholic eyes, Johnny Depp, who achieved superstar status with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

"WTF are these two really together?" Li Ang muttered in confusion.

According to online gossip, Heard and Depp fell in love during the filming of "The Rum Diary".

The relationship between the two is very ambiguous.

The first time Leon paid attention to this news was from "Saint" Robinson.

The other party firmly believed that "The Rum Diary", as a romantic art film with a budget of up to 4500 million US dollars, was a complete money laundering movie.

"Long time no see, Mr. Leon~" Amber's face was filled with a warm smile.

With the blessing of a green dress, it is equally attractive as Robbie's elf look.

"You look so radiant today," Li Ang responded as he stood up.

This is the umpteenth wave of female stars who have courted him today.

Everyone knows that Leon Smith's work is a golden ticket to the top of the Billboard charts.

Out of respect for Hilde's beauty, Leon chose to stand up.

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Johnny Depp"

"Does this even need an introduction?" Leon interrupted. "I think everyone in the world knows Captain Jack."

Depp's mouth curled up after hearing all the flattery, and he stretched out his right hand.

According to the media, Li Ang is like a criminal who accidentally entered the entertainment industry.

Or the most vicious kind of thugs.

In Depp's opinion, the other party doesn't seem that scary given the current situation.

"Nice to meet you, young genius." The two shook hands.

Amber ignored Ariana and whispered in Li Ang's ear, "Do you think my voice is suitable for being a singer?"

"Of course, for beautiful people, their voices are usually as attractive as their looks." Leon saw through the other person's thoughts and responded casually.

Amber smiled sweetly, puffed out her chest and rubbed it against Li Ang's arm, "I look forward to our cooperation."

"cough."

Depp covered his mouth with his fist and coughed awkwardly. He smiled and greeted Leon, then quickly dragged Heard away.

Li Ang's reputation in relationships was as notorious as his street reputation.

Li Ang was overwhelmed by the waves of young celebrities who wanted to establish a relationship with him.

Kardashian naturally would not miss this opportunity.

She approached Li Ang in a tulle dress, swinging her hips vigorously to attract his attention.

During the greetings, Li Ang's attention was never on Kardashian.

She was followed by two pretty little girls.

She has a tall and well-proportioned figure.

She is far ahead of Kardashian in both appearance and figure.

Because the makeup on her face is very mature, you can't tell her age at all.

Ariana recognized them at a glance. They were the two youngest sisters of the Kardashian family.

Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.

Although she is still young, she has already become famous with the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and frequently appears on the covers of major fashion magazines.

Now she is a well-known model and internet celebrity.

Through Leon's eyes, Kardashian easily saw through Leon's thoughts.

She waved at her two sisters, "Haven't you always admired Mr. Li Ang? He's right in front of us now. Would you like to come over and say hello?"

The two sisters couldn't suppress their inner excitement, and there were ripples in their eyes.

For young girls who are still in their rebellious period, the charm of an idol singer like Li Ang, who symbolizes the "rebellious spirit", is irresistible.

Seeing that her sisters were still a little timid, Kardashian frowned and said sternly, "I have told you many times, don't be a coward in any situation."

"Remember you are Kardashian women."

Hearing this, Kendall and Kylie finally plucked up the courage to step forward.

Staring at Li Ang, he whispered, "Mr. Li Ang, can you give us your contact information?"
