Chicago 1990

In mid-April, after Song Ya finished dubbing and supervising editing and other work, he was ready to set off to return to Chicago, and school started.

During the period, he also asked Peter Flock’s wife, Lockhart to come to Los Angeles with Gardner’s lawyer Alicia and A+ Audio President Dilei to officially start the C round financing plan with other shareholders of DTS. This should be It was the last round of financing before DTS went public, so they recruited investment funds under Nasdaq Stock Exchange Chairman Madoff, investment bank Goldman Sachs, and some venture capital institutions such as Greenwood Capital to list on Nasdaq. Make preparations.

Goldman Sachs’s only black executive, Smith Yilai, met with Song Ya. Since the business has not officially started, the two did not talk much. Song Ya demonstrated to him the original soundtrack of My Life Recorded with DTS technology. Part of the time Smith was fooling him into putting money into Goldman Sachs fund projects.

Song Ya certainly did not do it. Smith supported the Donkey Party, but his impression was very similar to that of BET boss Johnson who supported the Elephant Party. Maybe the black people in the United States can become a billionaire without relying on the style and style. No white people were trustworthy at the time.Besides, people on Wall Street are not trustworthy, especially Goldman Sachs.

He was willing to take this opportunity to hook up with the Jew of Madoff. He heard that Spielberg had made a lot of money in it. Unfortunately, the other party did not show up at all. The fund managers under him pushed and dragged them, and they were not happy to send money in the past. , Only take out fund projects with low annualized income to deal with.He had no choice but to seriously plan to find opportunities to get into organizations like the Palm Beach Country Club in the future. Spielberg and David Geffen were already in it. Even if they don't invest, it's good to expand their contacts.

"Aren't you participating in fine cutting?"

Old Larry, who learned that he was leaving, called and he was excluded from the final editing process by Universal.

"If you don't participate, you can even earn some points in the world." Song Ya said.

"integral?"

"Uh, get some impression points."

Song Ya now doesn’t want to challenge the power of the distribution company, nor does it want to make trouble with the world because of this kind of thing. It depends on them to perform my life’s fixed files, filming, and publicity. "Anyway, I watched the nearly finished version. , You have done it perfectly. Universal will not cut it randomly, and it will not do them any good."

"There are several shots of social and ethnic issues." Old Larry said worriedly.

These two parts are more content than the original version of My Life. Because the protagonist has changed from white to black, there is nothing to add. Hollywood affirmative activists headed by Spike Lee will definitely not say good things. They are close to black areas. Cinemas are the basic box office of this movie. Even if it fails to be accepted by white audiences, it is at least expected to win the box office of the black group like the neighborhood boys. In fact, there are quite a few. The neighborhood boys' box office is nearly 60 million.

"Not many, don't worry about Larry, we have come to this point, we should put our energy into considering the box office." Song Ya advised him.

There are not many, except for the one or two that came out of the mouth when the protagonist talked with the two male brothers. When the protagonist sent the protagonist home, he was looked at by neighbors with unfriendly eyes at the door of the high-end residence in the white community. After a few glances, the degree of this "black" has been very light, and even beautified.

In reality, those neighbors might have already called the police. Police stations in high-end white neighborhoods are out quickly. When police officers see strange blacks, they usually come forward and interrogate them. When they find any stubbornness, they will immediately take them to the bureau for trial.Some white communities in the United States now have their own private police or volunteer police. Some local police with insufficient budget subcontract their jurisdictions to private companies or self-organized patrols by community residents. Those guys treat blacks more rudely.

Of course, there is a clear distinction between American communities, and most of the blacks running there for no reason are not doing good deeds.

"I can't do much at the box office. I don't have box office appeal. Other actors are also newcomers. It's up to you.

"I know, of course I will do my best."

Song Ya calmed the fearful old man and hung up.

"I feel that if the box office loses, old Larry will lie in the ICU." He got on the private plane and smiled at Mariah Carey next to him.

Mariah Carey did not hear him speaking, and was focusing on the guest list for the engagement ceremony with the female assistant.

In the new school season, Song Ya enrolled in three courses. A week after re-entering the campus, Mariah Carey ran back to New York with an excuse. She said she was watching the progress of Bedford Manor construction, but Song Ya It feels like she is simply staying in Chicago and being bored to avoid the exercise task.

On the 25th, Song Ya brought a large number of singers such as Al, Dion Wilson, Common, and William Adams under A+ Records, as well as a large number of performers such as Big A, Marvota, Tony, and Silencer. Bodyguard, mighty also went to New York to participate in the first hip-hop music awards organized by TheSourec magazine.

Preliminary preparations were very sufficient. The group of them was arranged in the far left-hand area of ​​the theater, which happened to be far away from the bragging father and their right-hand side. The Jewish boss of TheSourec magazine also arranged two groups of people to enter the venue. aisle.

They and the West Coast group headed by Death Row Records are also separated by Huang Yuan and other southern rappers. NAS and the people will also help take care of them, so it should be foolproof.

"Oh my God, it's like the five mafia clans are holding a national convention."

Fergie also came to meet at the scene. She and her fellow Paikinsley were protected by Song Ya in the middle of their own people. Pai Kingsley vomited: "This is the most chaotic awards show I have ever seen."

Indeed, the whole theater is very small. Groups of fierce old blacks keep coming in, crowded, and many singers have a lot of grudges with each other. Before the beginning, there were a few small-scale pushes, some of them followed. He had to come in, but found that there was no seat, so he stood everywhere.The whole hall exudes a strong smell of body and perfume.

Rapper, who has the task of performing and awarding awards, brought enough DJs, helpers, and attendants to arrange the show. Some of the unruly guys ran from the backstage to the exit of the stage aisle to watch the excitement and found that they could be seen by all the audience in the audience He didn't go away, and complacently gestured hip-hop gestures to the people below.

"This is the world of rap circles."

Song Ya himself was not much better, and the people he brought with him were not allocated enough seats. Fortunately, next to the wall of the theater, the silencer and Mavota were standing in a row against the wall.Of course, he couldn't follow the complaint in front of Pakingsley, so he had to pretend to say something.

"I heard that someone came in with a gun." The big A who was sent to explore the road was very excited to socialize with the various Rappers, and came back to gossip.

"WTF?" Song Ya felt even worse.

"Sure, there isn't even a metal detector at the entrance." said the old Mike, who was personally protecting him. He patted his waist. "It's easy."

He also brought the gun in...

Song Ya couldn’t help but rejoice that she didn’t bring Mariah Carey. “When Fergie and I receive the award, we should pay more attention to the people on death row records and bad boy records.” He asked his subordinates, if there were no prizes, he would do it. I plan to leave early, but now I have no choice but to bite the bullet. In hip-hop circles, there must be no cowardly characters.

"Understand." Everyone agreed.

"Big E didn't come, neither did Sugonite, and Mary Blige..." Big A continued to report.

"Really? That's great." Song Ya was worried about revenge, Sugnet went mad, and Mary Blake was talking nonsense about K-Ci's death. It would be great if the three of them weren't there. I used to say hello to Derui and NAS."

"It should be no problem." Big A led a group of people before calling and hugging him to protect him, got up and walked to the middle of the theater.

"Look! GD's APLUS..."

"This is a ruthless character, and he made a lot of money, 100 million, from the whites."

"Of course, wait! Is this someone who is going to provoke Harlem?"

"Is this guy really not afraid of bragging Dad going crazy? He killed K-Ci!"

"It's not him. Little Lori sent someone to do it."

"It's all the same, they are all GD, 24K real bandits, look at those followers..."

"Maybe his follower M-Fxxk is richer than me. Just now in the parking lot, I saw that the big A was driving a Ferrari."

This kind of big battle is also quite capable of bluffing people, coupled with the blessing of urban legends, when passing by the seats of some guests, people's whispers passed into his ears.

A look of gangsters didn't look at those people, "Hey, Derry, why, haven't Sugnett and Snoop Dogg come?" He hugged and fisted Derry.

"Snoop Dogg has a case and can't come, Sugnat has something." Dre looked more nervous than him, and looked around vigilantly.

"2PAC didn't come because of the case?"

"He is in the backstage, and he will perform on stage later." Derry said.

The two chatted for a while, Song Ya went to say hello to NAS, Rakim, and Dad Kane was also there, but the momentum has fallen too much than before. Song Ya missed the old friendship and went to chat with him for a while, by the way I observed the place where Dad Bragging and their Harlem singers sat. Dad Bragging was still like a big boss. Sitting in the first row, he was talking angrily to his subordinates. He didn’t know if it was intentional or accidental. Make eye contact by yourself.

"Maybe you should get Fergie out of this environment."

After coming back, Pai Kingsley said in his ear again.

"I thought that matter was resolved." Song Ya responded unhappily, "My hip-hop music made her popular and made money."

"I said this for her benefit," Pakinsley said.

"Come on, Pat, I've seen some Hollywood routines. When shooting a movie, a casting director specifically confronted me. Guess what he did for? This is the way he makes a bigger contribution to the crew. Power, I think you are the same now. Don’t talk about topics that I don’t like. This kind of trick is useless to me."

Song Ya poked her ruthlessly, "What's your real purpose? Hollywood superstar agents generally don't come to such occasions rashly, and personally venture into danger just to talk to me about impossible things."

"Well, I can be the youngest African-American billionaire. These words made me respect you APLUS."

Perkinsley smiled and said: "Are you interested in switching to CAA? IMHO, your second major may not be able to sell well. I see you are also preparing to transfer your career to Hollywood. In Hollywood, I am better than Donovan. And your unknown little role main agent is too powerful."

Song Ya guessed that, "I will consider CAA and you for the next brokerage contract. However, before my contract with William Morris expires, you are not allowed to use Fergie to bother me. Otherwise, I will let her fire her. You, who do you think she will listen to."

"OK, I understand."

Perkinsley looked back at Fergie, who was as well-behaved as a bunny in this environment, and lowered her head to concentrate on chatting with the assistant, "Can you send some people to escort me out? Here... it makes me a little bit overwhelmed." Angry, uh, I am not discriminating against anything."

"To understanding."

Song Ya asks Tony and Silencer to send her out early.
