Recording a song with someone who has OCD is definitely not a good thing, and Britney was experiencing that firsthand.
"Please, I can't find that kind of sad and conflicted emotion you're talking about!" After being rejected again, Britney directly snapped at Kayce.
Kayce thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I don't want to be with you anymore, Britney."
"How dare you! You're definitely trying to find Anne again, I'll fight you!" Britney immediately flared up.
"That's the feeling! Do you feel it, Britney?" Kayce hugged Britney while stroking her hair.
"You jerk, I don't want to talk to you!" Britney slapped Kayce's hand away, showing she was very angry.
"Exactly, that feeling of not wanting to talk! Come on, let's record it again right away!" Kayce quickly called the sound engineer.
...
In short, once Britney found her feeling, the progress was incredibly fast, and by the afternoon, they had basically finished everything.
"Excellent, Kayce, you're a genius! Combined with the MV you gave me earlier, it's perfect. Don't worry, I guarantee the single will be a huge hit!"
Chapman was already ecstatic at this point. After being 'ghosted' for years, he finally saw results, and he was completely satisfied!
The MV for this song was filmed by Kayce, Anne, and Britney at UCLA a while ago, with most of the scenes shot in Los Angeles.
Anne's filming was good, and the editing was also great! The general content was about a handsome guy and a beautiful girl having relationship troubles and bickering, with neither wanting to be the first to apologize...
"The rest of the work is up to you. Just go to the Thunder and finalize the contract. If it's a 3+1 contract, I have no problem."
Kayce, while comforting the pouting Britney, was also discussing the contract with his agent.
"Don't worry, I'll bring professionals with me. Presti already has the contract ready," Chapman replied seriously.
Kayce patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he trusted him to handle things.
Even at dinner, Britney was still pouting. Kayce, helpless, had to use his 'pie in the sky' trick again.
"Really? You're so thoughtful. Order me another steak, I'm hungry." Britney immediately brightened up after getting her 'pie'.
Kayce couldn't help but sigh, Britney is always so easy to coax!
Because he was participating in this year's Las Vegas Summer League, Kayce had to report to Oklahoma City in early July. The contract had also been finalized, a 3+1 model as expected, with a team option in the final year.
The salary was 4.05 million in the first year, followed by 4.3 million and 4.6 million in the next two years. The take-home pay was just over half. Kayce also hired a personal training team.
One nutritionist and two trainers would cost Kayce 800,000 US dollars, which made him a little heartbroken. However, an excellent training team could better develop his body, and relying solely on his own training was too slow.
The functional drinks provided by the Dream Space required continuous training to gradually show effects. Currently, Kayce had only unlocked B-grade functional drinks, and he was not satisfied with this efficiency.
Moreover, 800,000 US dollars was considered a friendly price. Chapman's friend was indeed reliable, and this training team perfectly suited his needs.
On July 2nd, Kayce arrived in Oklahoma City and went straight to the house Chapman had found for him. However, when he got there, Kayce was a bit bewildered; the house was too big, and living alone in it felt eerie.
Kayce briefly browsed the house: 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a home theater, an outdoor swimming pool, and a small golf course, about 20 kilometers from the downtown arena.
"It's a bit wasteful. Even if I promised Britney to let her move in, it would still feel empty with just two people." Kayce opened the refrigerator and saw that groceries and everything else had already been bought.
Seeing the third-generation Dodge Challenger, which had just been released this year, in the garage, Kayce was completely helpless. Chapman had clearly found out all his little hobbies.
"Is this the power of money? Chapman must have made a fortune from Taylor, what a shrewd guy!"
In the afternoon, Kayce drove to the Oklahoma City Thunder's Ford Center. Today was for signing the contract and also to tour his future home arena.
"Kayce, welcome to the Thunder family. Coach Brooks has been urging me to get you here earlier," Presti said with a smile.
"I'm very grateful to the Thunder for drafting me. I believe this will be a wonderful experience, and I'm already looking forward to the new season, it's so exciting!"
Kayce initiated the commercial flattery mode.
"Haha, I believe our performance will greatly improve in the new season. Let's sign the contract first, and then I'll show you around our home arena. Believe me, the fans here are very enthusiastic!"
Presti was in a good mood. He thought the Grizzlies would pick Kayce, but he successfully executed his plan in the end.
This made him almost burst with joy, and China was already starting to pay attention to Kayce. Perhaps the team would become the second Houston Rockets.
Kayce briefly looked at the contract, confirmed it was the one Chapman had shown him, and directly signed his name. The team staff immediately recorded the moment and updated the photo on the team's official website.
News about Kayce gradually increased in China across the ocean, and the interview with Zhang Weiping completely went viral.
Although everyone felt Kayce was bragging, they still held a glimmer of hope. After all, he was a compatriot. It was a happy thing to see a fellow countryman play in the NBA, and there would be a China Derby again.
The day after signing the contract, Kayce reported to the team. Coach Brooks had been eagerly awaiting his arrival and had sent him several text messages.
"Good morning, Coach. Thank you for your concern, I'm ready," Kayce said, thanking Coach Brooks.
"Don't be shy, Kayce. Relax in the team. We're going to Las Vegas in a few days, just maintain your physical condition these days!"
Coach Brooks was already eager to transform Kayce. He wanted Kayce to play point guard directly to prevent the team from playing haphazardly again.
"Let me also tell you, there should be 22 teams in the Summer League this year, mostly rookies and G-League players. Be careful on the court, don't push too hard, and absolutely don't get injured."
When Kayce heard this, he knew that the Head Coach probably just wanted him to make an appearance. After all, as a third overall pick, he had to show his face. He was, after all, a ticket-selling hot topic.
"Don't worry, Coach, I guarantee my body will be in peak condition before the official season starts."
Coach Brooks chuckled, "Alright, Kayce, I believe you. Come on, I'll introduce you to Coach Ben."
"I wonder if I can unlock achievement badges in the Dream Space during the Summer League. I'm really looking forward to the trip to Las Vegas!"
Kayce thought silently, as achievement badges could quickly increase his strength.
