Chicago 1990

I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Re.

Bye! I'm off to explore the world, and my sister wants to go to Rome!

Now I never ever did it for a throne.

Do you believe in Caesar? No, I don't run for the fame.

The sound store was again singing its own songs, as well as a large poster at the door, and constant exposure of whereabouts, interviews, news ...... and even financial news. The legend of the wise eye betting on the Titanic project is even more clichéd ...... With the big ship invincible to the world, certain media outlets touted very fleshly.

"Okay, let's go, Mike."

After school, Sonia let old Mike drive around the city, just narcissistically enjoying the Cant Hold Us MV playing on the TV wall through the store window, and at the far end of the street stood the new large single print ad that old client JANSPORT had shot for himself, carrying his school bag.

Likewise, he has fulfilled his glow stick advertising obligations as required by Dow, with whom he has worked with for many years, and whose 10-year endorsement contract has yet to expire, and whose CNA insurance paid Dow a fortune last year as a result of his shooting coma.

Then 3DFX's new VOODOO2 display chip went on the market, almost all the mainstream graphics card manufacturers have launched the corresponding product line, and gained a high degree of recognition in the DIY market.

VOODOO2 also has a unique Sli technology, with Thor's Hammer 2 in the electronic exhibition demonstration effect is simply beyond the times, and now has been burst to buy out of stock, price increases are hard to find a card, but there are still a lot of geeks to buy is two, take back the group double card game.

The 2D3D integrated VOODOO RUSH2 chip design is also nearing completion, and is expected to enter the larger OEM market and turn around from the failure of the first generation.

3DFX stock price naturally every day Zhang, and look about to cross the billion mark.

"Many advertisers have asked me to BOSS."

There are many high-end European luxury brands, as well as some multinational FMCG brands ......" Hayden called to report that he had already changed his mind along with Linda and others and called himself Boss.

"The company's products will be sold in the U.S. and Europe. But don't be in a hurry to get it signed to me, wait until I win the World Cup theme song after the FIFA convention in March."

Sonja himself didn't expect to rebound so smoothly, the fans and the market still love me after all, he thought to himself.

Unfortunately, the threshold for these stimuli has long since become very high, Song Ya quickly calmed down and ordered, "The endorsement fee ...... at that time you understand?"

"Of course I understand, haha! I'm sure I'll get the best offer!" Hayden cheerfully ended the call.

"Back to Highland Park?" Old Mike pulled away from the curb.

"No? The boss has to attend a fan meeting tonight and continue shooting the music video on the way," said Melissa, his assistant.

The video for the Cup of Life, or should I call it the first version of the video, was to be released before the FIFA convention? It will be qualified and offered to the national committee members for evaluation. The company will be working with national federations and football stars to produce a new version of its theme song. The same goes for We Are One with Shakira.

In both videos, the film crew went out to the world early to shoot scenes, mainly of stadiums, fans and matches. How busy was Sonia? The director didn't want to overload the project, and most of the footage was taken from the fan club's live performances.

"Denise, thanks for coming back to help."

Tonight's fan club is huge? All the little leaders of the old Chicago fan group are back? Including an old classmate, Denise? "And little Emily? Little Beyonce ha ......"

The group Destiny's Child is here to help with the vocals? Their song Worth It is also currently at #5 on the B-chart? They are also the first group to be invited to the show.

Sonia arrived on the scene and embraced the black girls in an easygoing manner.

"I'm going backstage first." Emily abruptly put it down and turned to leave.

True Girl of Destiny skyrocketed to popularity with her debut single, but Emily was under a lot of pressure? The public didn't so much nitpick her vocals as ridicule her and the other four singers. Instead, they ridiculed her and the other four members for their different, bulky bodies? More and more strange words and mean spirited comments? The 'elephant in the room' and so on.

"Take care of him for me, Matthew."

Of course Sonia had heard, but couldn't help with the need to look after himself? He instructed Beyonce's father, Matthew Norris.

"No problem."

Matthew Norris threw his arms around his bouncing daughter and the other three members of the group as soon as he saw his boss and rushed backstage, his years of hard work finally bearing fruit as he wished, and he was now very obedient to himself.

"RETURN OF THE APLUS!

Then the fan meeting started smoothly, and he opened with Cant Hold Us, which immediately ignited the emotions of the thousands of fans in the audience, Song Ya took the time to observe that the teenage boys and girls who started getting hooked on their own stars seven or eight years ago are now big girls and boys, and the younger 'fresh blood' seems to be underrepresented.

According to Linda's questionnaire to a consulting firm, the new crop of high school girls are overwhelmingly fans of the Backstreet Boys, and even black girls who used to be immune to teen pop can't resist the singing and dancing of five handsome boys.

'Doodle, Doodle, Doodle ......'

The next song, "The Cup of Life," which he knew the crew would include in the video, features a Latin trombone intro, a sudden hook of the vertical microphone stand on the floor with his foot, and a dashing grip on his hand, followed by a Latin twirl of the hips.

This handsome move designed by the Latin producer was so effective that the female fans immediately screamed and the atmosphere reached a climax again.

"Let's give a warm welcome to the following, True Virgin of Destiny!"

He had to take a break after this powerful Latin dance because his body wasn't in tip-top shape yet, so he introduced the singers who were on stage early.

The five Beyoncé's who had changed into their costumes jumped on stage as lightly as a deer, "Come, come, come!" Sonia high-fives them one by one and introduces them.

"What is it? Ms. Kinsley?" Walking into the break room, Melissa handed him a cell phone from Charis' agent, Paisley.

"I'm warning you, don't talk to me in that manner."

Shirley Lansing was fired by Raishi Dong, and Liang Tang was caught up in a trade scandal with the former president. "What is it! Say it when it's clear! I don't have time to tell you what ...... what ...... has to do with Cheryl Finn?"

"I don't know! What the hell is going on ...... well, um ......" he paced the corner away from Shakira by listening to the phone, his face growing darker and darker.

"APLUS! and Shakira, Shakira!"

We talked until it was his and Shakira's turn on stage.

"How's Edgar doing?"

The next day, Bronfman Sr, a semi-retired wine mogul and president of the Global Jewish Congress, asked David Geffen after his golf swing, "I've only got one more accomplished child, and I've got no tricks for my other children ...... I'll just spend my time raising them without dying. "

"He's very hard-working and very smart, and Universal is thriving under his management, and you should have seen last year's financial results, especially from Universal Pictures, and the numbers were beautiful. He has a very good eye for people, and Ron Meyer, the former CAA founder, worked very hard and was very loyal under him."

David Geffen complimented, deliberately interrupting when he saw the spoiled smile on old Bronfman's face, "By the way, how's the recovery of the Swiss bank's Jewish WWII deposits going?"

Bronfman Sr. is now mainly occupied with this matter, "It's not going well, the Swiss are not going to go easy, and I think we Jews alone may not be able to achieve our goal, and we all know that recovery is just an excuse. We need to wait for an opportunity, something that will force them to put the financial settlement system under pressure to bring it under the supervision of Rice."

"What ......"

"Not talking about that." Old Bronfman brought the conversation back, "I've heard some rumors that Baridil is trying to control him?"

"Barry Diller kind of guy ...... you know Mr. Bronfman better than I do, he was already a top Hollywood player when I was a small part." David Geffen laughed bitterly.

"Any other questions? Go ahead, David, what can't I say in front of me?" Old Bronfman sauntered toward the green, "Just communicate like old friends."

"Don't dare ...... uh, you know your son, he's the worst kind of snitch."

"Go ahead, my mouth has been proven over the decades to be the tightest, I won't even reveal what you say to him."

"Uh ...... is nothing special, except that I don't think he should have embarrassed APLUS at that meeting the other day. I know APLUS very well, I've known him forever, and that African-American kid from the streets is stubborn, hostile and uncaring... ...I think you've heard about the devastating years he spent at Sony Columbia Records, and now he's broken the ceiling to become a billionaire with a lot of cash."

David Geffen said, "Of course APLUS is not a bad person, in fact, it's best to reassure young people of his personality, just to coax them a little bit.

"I understand, alas, I know little Edgar, he has my proud genes in his bones." Bronfman Sr. put the ball in the hole, "Thank you David, I'll find a way to talk him down."

"Be a little strategic, and don't say it's me ......"

"Sure."

The old Bronfman made a zipping motion over his mouth.

"Sherilyn and Charis are here, and the car is at the door, along with Robb and Jon."

After a few more days, Old Mike pulled open the study door.

"Well ......" Sonia was sitting on the couch with her head tilted between the microphones, "Where's Shakira?"

"Melissa dragged her out shopping."

"OK, let them in."

Although Sonja wanted to hang up the phone, his own former life coach Daniel Glass on the other end, "Daniel, why are you calling ha, it's been a long time ......"

"I got a message that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) in the Midlands has decided to ban MP3. and other websites from advertising at the Grammy Awards and other events involved, and you know what because? aplus."

Daniel skipped the pleasantries and got right to the point.

"I heard it relayed by Ms. Sloan, but I'm not sure of the details, oh by the way, considering you are now the chairman of the copyright dispute committee for the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America, Mi.) ...... then the NARAS decision has something to do with fighting online piracy, correct?" Sonia quickly judged from the other side's identity.

"You're still so smart, you don't need to waste one more word APLUS."

Daniel praised, but the tone was indifferent, "So you know why."

"MP3. That website was a domain name grabbed by a company after the MP3 format was discovered to be profitable, and then the domain holder introduced external investment to make a rough music portal website, but it was soon exploited by some users and is one of the hardest hit areas for music sharing on the Internet."

Sonja is well aware of the industry situation.

"What if I say that these sites are just the first of six to be cracked down? Daniel said again.

"No way, right?"

Sonia immediately understood, "This is war, and the same thing that we are doing on Amerika Music, YAHOO and AOL, WEBCHAT, Infoseek and other large music communities are also doing it, we are much more restrained than those MP3 sites, and even Amerika Music and sharing culture in these similar communities is not the most serious ......".

"But they don't plan to go public in April." Daniel chuckled.

"I know, I know the news will hit the IPO."

Being banned from advertising in the Grammys and other traditional music media is not a big deal, but it's a big deal in the run-up to the IPO, "Thank you Daniel." He took a small breath and genuinely thanked me, "You've always helped me, never ......"

The news was indeed a bit bad, and he thanked his lips, intending to then relay it to Sloan.

"Daddy!"

Then Seraphine and Charisse were let in by old Mike, and Robb was as lively as ever, jumping on his lap, "Where have you been? Haven't come to see me in so long?" He questioned childishly.

"Good boy oh, Daddy's on the phone." Sonja guiltily allowed Robb to crawl into his lap and sit, and with his free hand he took Jon from Charis and kissed each of his sons on the cheek. He looked over at the girls.

The two top blondes were naturally eye-catching, as if the dimly lit study had brightened up as soon as they walked through the door, and Seraphine, who had been specially groomed and exquisitely groomed, had an affectionate gaze. Charisse, on the other hand, stood a little fearful and resistant against the door, her makeup a little crotchety in contrast, and a sad look on her face, her eyes flickeringly looking at herself, and then immediately moving away.

"Don't pull those useless emotional distractions, we've already cleared APLUS. but I can help you delay this news until after the IPO, I'm the chairman of the Copyright Dispute Committee, you know the Internet industry has a lot of energy, the big six, especially the more aggressive Universal Music can not easily create trouble for the stock price of sites like YAHOO, too many investors are watching. "

Daniel said.

Global ......

Sonja's eyes are cold, what's going on? How can I think of it, somehow! I'm not the kind of person who has a rebellious bone in the back of his head, but if the king wants his subjects to die ...... then I'll have to take my chances.

"Go out, go out with mommy first, good boy." Sherin Finn misunderstood his look and took the initiative to take Robb and Jon out.

"What do you say?" Daniel didn't wait for a response and followed up with.

"Uh ...... uh ......"

Sherin Finn came back and pushed Suddenly Charisse, and the unsuspecting South African beauty diamond stumbled and fell into her arms, "Uh, I'm still in shock. Daniel."

Charis did not say anything, but the tall girl was now like a small animal, resigned to snuggle along, and then Cheryl Lynn Finn expression struggled for a few seconds, eyes glistening with tears, also walked towards him, usually never deliberately twisted waist is also like a willow fluttering, amorous in the other side of the seat.

Although Patrick Kingsley had told Cheryl in advance that Cheryl was threatening Charisse, and knew that the two would come together, but Sonja did not expect that Cheryl, who usually refused to participate in multiplayer games, would ......

"Will you let me come back to you? I beg you, I'll do anything for you APLUS."

Sherinphine put her hand on her shoulder, incredibly humble and pleasing in his ear, and then gently kissed his cheek, chin, collar, and continued on.

Really, Sonia looked at Charis, who was also shocked by what Sherinphine was doing at this point, and her eyes went wide at the other, "No, don't ......" she murmured softly, as if she couldn't bear to see this.

"APLUS?" came Daniel's voice from the earpiece.

"Oh, and since business is business, I assume you expect something from me in return?" Sonia instantly sobered up from her almost fallen state, regained control of her body, and pushed Sherin Finn away.

"Ooh ......"

Sherin Finn broke down in an emotional howl on the arm of the couch.

"Not on the phone," Daniel replied.

"You ......" Sonia gave Charis a wink and told her to talk Sheridan Finn down first, and got up with the landline and sat behind the desk, "Sure, Daniel. So you're going to ......"

"Schedule a time and place?"

"Okay, you decide."

"I need a middleman on my side, you'd better also make some preparations, I think we all be careful of each other to feel at ease."

"Actually no ...... Daniel, I thank you very much, really, I can't forget eight years ago you taught me, every word I still remember." Sonia said sincerely.

"Come on, all I remember is that last scornful sneer in the car when you left my house that day, APLUS, you wouldn't even leave me the last bit of false decency then." Daniel said.

"I was too young and feisty at the time, and I apologize Daniel."

"Never mind, forget about it."

"I'm glad we can continue working together, really, let's kill again like we did that time at Def Jam!"

"Well, hang on, huh?"

"Okay, bye Daniel."

Sonja put down the microphone and looked over to Cheryl Finn, who was still crying, and Charis, who was gently patting her on the back, not knowing how to talk her out of it.

He sighed and hung up the phone for Sloan to briefly explain the situation and do some slow emotional management along the way before walking over.

"I ......"

Charis looked up over at me, pitifully.

"I know, don't say anything."

Sonja sidestepped to make way, "You can go Charis, sorry to make you run."

Charis, amused, stood up and took a few steps toward the door, as if she didn't feel good about it again, "Thank you, APLUS," she said softly.

"No, remember that time you used to hide in the acting classroom and listen in on what I said to Amy?" Sonia asked.

"I remember." Charis bit her lip and recalled, "You asked Amy to fight for every role, every opportunity to rip off and set up and frame ...... to give a hundred and twenty percent for success, to do everything, to give up the innocence and the purity, to grow up... ...I remember every word of it, it gave me direction in my life."

"Well, you fit Hollywood Charis better than Amy, you really reached where you are today on your own, giving up the role I gave you to play the devil's advocate, I ......"

The more I learn about Hollywood, the more I feel I'm not a bad person, except for being a bit of a playboy, don't you think? I'm guessing you've had a deep experience with Hollywood in the past two years, too?"

"Of course, you're very nice ...... really nice ......" replied Charis, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Well, that's good enough, I'm glad you see me that way."

Sonia reached out and squeezed her cheek, "Go away and live the life you love, don't be tied down by scum again."

Charis puffed out her cheeks and broke into a smile, "Yeah. So I ...... go?"

"Don't dawdle, you know I'm not very strong-willed." Sonia made a stage gesture of 'please'.

Charis gratefully volunteered to come over and cup his face for a kiss, then turned back to Sherinfen and ran out of the study.

"Ugh!"

Sonja watched the back of the South African beauty diamond depart and closed the door slightly forlornly, "Cheryline ...... Cheryline." He sat next to Sherin Finn and sobbed in a stacked voice, "You're imagining Charis as too stupid ......"

"Sorry sorry sorry!"

Sherrenfine immediately returned and hugged his neck, apologizing wildly, "I can't live without you, I love you, I can't live without you APLUS, I know I'm not smart but I don't want to lose you. I know I'm getting old ......"

"You're not old ......"

She's still bubblingly beautiful, and besides, even the governor's wife herself ...... eh? Where do you want to go, Song Ya hugged straight into the bosom arch, sideburns scattered tears like rain, "but how should I get along with you in the future ...... Sherin Sherin, something that happened will never be forgotten."

"I will do anything for you, I love you, you can get along with me however you want, I just ask you to stop being so cruel and cold ......"

I know I'm not as smart as Charis, I can't help it ...... I can't forget the time I spent with you before, I can't forget that you took care of me when I was in the most difficult and helpless situation, and sent me my favorite little beggar, and we talked about the cold mountain poem inside.... ...if a gentleman's heart is like mine, he still gets in it. Even though I know you're a womanizer, but I'm in it, I don't want to come out, I like to be taken care of by you, I also like to be sought after and complimented in Hollywood, I admit that I'm not a woman who deliberately presents herself as so bland, poetic and indifferent in front of you, I just want to stay by your side, I like to be a producer, I like to be in control of a whole crew, to be admired by everyone and backstabbing jealousy! Feels like I'm particularly particularly fond of ......"

Maybe it was because she felt like she was missing out on this opportunity, maybe it was because she was really sinking completely, she said everything from the bottom of her heart, speaking faster and faster, "Forgive me APLUS, please, please, we have two kids, so cute ...... Don't do this to me like this, I promise I won't make the same mistakes I did last year, I ...... I don't know how to say this, but I really didn't mean to ...... Goodman and the others lied to me ...... I was so scared, your brother Tony and Connie threatened to throw me out of here again, they yelled at me, they threw their fists at me, they smashed things, I was so angry ...... I called my relatives ......".

"APLUS? honey?" She said, "What's wrong with you?" and found Sonja's face twisted with a shaking hand in front of her eyes as if she was in pain. Should I call a doctor?"

"No," Sonia pushed her hand away from her face.

Sonja pushed her hand away from her face, but it caused a misunderstanding in the already very sensitive Sherilyn, who cried again on the sofa, ".......

"For the last time, Cheryl, you are not allowed to make up your own mind about anything, even if you think it's for the best."

"Well! I'll never ...... again."

Sonja didn't care about her anymore and walked over to the phone scratching his head, "Yeremov, I remember ...... last year's best-selling novel was called 'Cold Mountain'?"

"Yes, just won the Sukhoi Sukhoi Prize for debut novel at the Academy of Arts and Letters, the American Booksellers Association's Book of the Year Award, the year before, last year it was only in the top ten," Yelemov replied.

"Find a way to get the film adaptation rights to it?" Sonia asked.

Sherin Finn immediately stopped crying, staring at it with agitation.

"It's a Southern-style novel about the Civil War, is it not ...... appropriate for us to cast it?" Yeremov asked hesitantly, "And there are a lot of war scenes depicted, so it can't be cheap to adapt it ......."

"It doesn't matter, if you get the right to adapt it, just make a project for Serafin to start work as soon as possible." Sonja looked directly into her eyes, and ordered to Yeremov on the phone, "She likes cold mountain poetry."
