Chapter 34
**I-like-you, what does it mean?**
Is it common for friends to say this kind of thing?
Could it be that he has feelings for her and wants to ask her out?
If it's Harsh Rai, it would be great to date him…
NBC headquarters, SNL Saturday Night Live guest dressing room, Swift is ready, waiting for Harsh Rai to ask her out.
As a result, there is still the second half of Harsh Rai's words
"...like-your-songs, I'm your fan."
Nothing wrong. I was indeed a fan of Swift in my previous life. Although I haven't listened to her first album, I basically started listening to it after "Love Story."
"Wait, wait, you just like my song?" Taylor Swift feels so excited.
"Yes, you are a very talented creator, and I firmly believe that you can become the queen of the music industry."
Harsh Rai's eyes are full of sincerity.
"Thank you, I didn't expect you to listen to my songs too…"
If Harsh had praised her work before, Swift would have been very happy. But after the misunderstanding just now, I don't know why I feel bad.
He has no intention of asking her out...
"What's wrong? It feels like you are not happy."
Harsh wondered, did she see through it? He hadn't listened to her first album, so he was unhappy?
"No, I'm happy that you like my song."
Taylor Swift quickly adjusted her mood and returned to the energetic girl she once was.
"Then I'll write a new song and sing it to you as soon as possible."
"OK..."
The two were chatting when suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Sorry, you two, the recording of the program starts in 5 minutes. I'll take you to the studio."
Taylor Swift took Harsh Rai's arm and walked into the backstage of the SNL studio together. She exchanged a few words with the host and explained some precautions for recording the program.
"Harsh, Taylor, just relax, just treat it like you're here to play, don't be too formal."
"OK"
Harsh knows the tone of SNL, so of course he will be more open-minded.
"Ladies and gentlemen, here's our celebrity guest tonight, Taylor Swift!"
After the recording started, the live jazz band moved away, and the young and beautiful 17-year-old Taylor Swift walked into the venue wearing a sparkling evening dress.
There were about 50 real audiences at the scene, and they burst into warm applause.
Swift briefly introduced herself and interacted with the audience, and then talked about recent popular movies.
"Did you know that the show originally planned to invite Emma Stone as a guest, yes, the Gwen Stacy you are familiar with."
The audience cheered.
"Look, let me just say that Emma is more popular, I was just hired by SNL to make up the numbers, so don't ask me for this next time."
Of course, Swift was obviously joking and livened up the atmosphere.
"To be honest, I like the movie Spider-Man very much. There are many classic scenes in it, such as Spider-Man hanging upside down on a rainy day, and Gwen..."
Halfway through her words, the man in Spider-Man uniform slowly hung upside down from the top of the stage.
It's Harsh Rai!
"I heard someone mention Spider-Man?"
The moment Harsh made his appearance, the audience burst into enthusiastic cheers! The applause was deafening!
"Spider-man! Spider-man! Spider-man!"
More than a month after its release, Spider-Man is still very popular in North America, and fans at the scene are going crazy.
"Hey Harsh, how are you doing?"
"You know, just hanging around..."
"Hanging around" means doing nothing. The word literally means hanging, just like Spider-Man hanging upside down.
The little pun also made the audience smile knowingly, and Swift almost lost her temper.
There are no lines in these; it all relies on the guests to perform on the spot.
"Why are you hanging?"
"The 'Spider-Man' movie is so popular that Sony can't wait to make a sequel at any time. I can only stay in Spider-Man status."
Harsh's little joke made the audience cheer again. Everyone really wanted to see "Spider-Man 2" right away.
Looking at Harsh next to him, he was hanging upside down and making fun, and he was able to impress the audience with his charm.
In the past, I just felt that he was a good listener and a good friend.
Today, I suddenly felt that Harsh Rai is so dazzling. He is the Spider-Man who makes the world crazy. He is a superhero!
In comparison, I am just a country girl. She's just a little girl in music.
Swift actually has a slight sense of inferiority. If Harsh knew what she was feeling, he would never believe it.
The two made jokes on the stage and told jokes for a while, making the audience laugh one after another.
Then according to the tradition of SNL, they performed Spider-Man spoof sketches using funny scenes and funny lines prepared by the program team.
"As you all know, the real Gwen Stacy was too big to come, so the show team asked me to replace Gwen. My appearance fee is cheaper."
Taylor Swift joked at herself,
"I'm not even an actor, I just sing country ballads!"
"So if the performance is not up to par later on, don't blame me. If you do, blame the SNL program team! Yes, trouble them!"
Swift also let go at this time, making the audience laugh.
"Let's get started, reenacting Spider-Man's famous scenes!"
Harsh and Swift used the spoof lines on the teleprompter. After performing a few paragraphs, the audience burst into laughter, and the show was so effective that the SNL director couldn't help but sigh:
"I really hired the right person this time. I didn't expect that a singer like Taylor Swift also has a talent for comedy."
"Harsh is even more surprising. He is so down-to-earth and will definitely gain more fans after the show is broadcast."
"Yes, I can't imagine what heights this Indian person can reach in the future...."
At this time, the SNL host pretended to be a director and was talking about drama with the two stars.
"Okay, guys. Next we have a set of love scenes, which is the most famous handstand kiss in the rain. Are you ready?"
Harsh and Swift looked at each other:
"We're ready, come on."
"Very good, then Spider-Man, could you please hang up again?"
"I'm really fed up. Your contract didn't mention these risky operations. You've been suspended so many times. Remember to add money!"
Harsh pretended to complain in an exaggerated tone.
"Sorry Spider-Man, when 'Spider-Man 2' is released, we will definitely pay double the price for you… Of course, forget about the sequel."
The two sides complained a few words to each other, Harsh was dropped to the ceiling by Wia again, and then slowly lowered.
"Music ready! Lights ready!"
"Action!"
Immediately afterwards, Harsh and Swift recited the lines on the inscription board in a parody tone.
"Peter, why are you hanging upside down? Do you want to surprise me?"
"No, my web launcher is broken and it's stuck and I can't break free."
The two people's performance once again made the audience laugh, and some viewers almost burst out laughing.
"Peter, are you not hurt? The terrorists didn't hurt you, did they?"
"Terrorist? I just jumped downstairs just to buy an ice cream. I flew up too fast and the ice cream was blown away by the wind."
"Oh, Peter, you look so handsome even buying an ice cream, I really love you to death."
"I love you too, Gwen!"
According to the script, the two originally had different perspectives and used exaggerated movements to perform a kiss to create laughter.
But when Swift's red lips came close to Harsh, the temptation that was so close made him make a subconscious move!
Harsh kissed her without hesitation!
In an instant, an electric shock-like feeling emerged in the hearts of the two of them!
Swift's pupils suddenly dilated!
