Chicago 1990

Most of the emotional messages are deliberate effects, but Song Yazhen was a little anxious when he posted the last post. When he was in need of deterrence, his biggest single wealth shrank a lot as Netscape’s stock price plummeted. It's really a leak in the house that rains every night.

"Jim! I really can't figure it out! Why are you not willing to give in to AOL (American Online)!? Must charge such an important strategic partner browser license fee, but also must pay the amount of money and head tax strictly according to the number of users! "

In fact, after rumors that some PC makers will be equipped with Microsoft’s Windows97 operating system bundled with free IE next year, Netscape’s stock price was not immediately questioned, and it rose for two days afterwards, but AOL suddenly announced that it will be from the Netscape camp. Betrayed Microsoft and replaced the user access page with the IE browser, which became the key turning point that crushed the confidence of investors.

AOL’s explanation is very simple. It costs money to use your Netscape product, and Microsoft has free ones. Why don’t I change it?

"Aren't you...you talk to people like that now?"

Jim Clark was very upset with his growl.

"Uh, I'm sorry Jim, I recently... I'm not in a good mood recently, you know."

Song Ya second apologized habitually.

"I'm responsible for the company's earnings and stock price. Does AOL provide more than $10 million in revenue every year? If you say it's free, it's free?"

Jim Clark's tone improved a bit and explained: "That's good, we have pushed Microsoft to the corner. If they don't use monopoly methods, there is no chance of comeback. As long as they expose the flaws of unfair competition, they will definitely pay the price. "

"Then what should I do now? AOL's income is gone, and next month's market share data will not look good. Other Internet access providers will follow suit."

That's Microsoft. Not surprisingly, this year Microsoft will rank fifth on the Standard & Poor’s market value list. It will be just a little short of passing the 100 billion mark, nearly double the market value of last year. The top four are General Electric. , Coca-Cola, Exxon Petroleum and Intel.

Song Ya is not as confident as Jim Clark.

"Rest assured, our browser is easier to use and more stable. Users will not stay on the access page that AOL automatically pops up for how long, and finally they have to use Netscape.

Jim Clark comforted, "Microsoft is not only suspected of being a monopoly, but it is also likely to use illegal methods to persuade AOL to buy off. Wait, I will find the evidence and let them completely die!"

"Humph."

Anyway, this guy is afraid that the selling wave will hit the stock price. He must show confidence to the outside world. Who knows the actual situation?Song Ya didn't dare to believe it all, "Then, do we have any short-term measures to recover the stock price recently?"

"There will be. By the way, your post seems to have a good spread effect. It may be better to continue, high-intensity attack, and add a little satire. I compiled one of its president Ballmer, you can remember it." Jim Clark said.

"How about a personal attack like this?"

"You still dare not personally attack?"

"That's different... Forget it, wait a minute, I'll take a pen and paper... You say it."

Song Ya jotted down Jim Clark's original, crappy joke.

In fact, he doesn't really want to post it. It's just a humble minority shareholder of Netscape, who can't make it like Microsoft.

At this time, he jumped out and grabbed the most powerful software giants in pursuit, for fear of not having many enemies.I'm not so reckless.

In any case, let's talk about Oprah first, and the second concert in Lisbon will be tomorrow, and then we will leave for the rice. The threat of assassination has not been lifted!

Motura...

That guy is really hard to deal with, it's not hard to deal with, it's hard to deal with.

Motula is not a public figure like Oprah, and he has not formally been appointed as the president of Sony Columbia Records. When he madly posted to attack him, the reaction of ordinary viewers was'Who is this?''Why always mention him and attack him?''I know that he is racist, but haven't you been rioting many times?And Motura is no longer a role.

not effectively.

How could a mangy dog ​​that hides and pretends to be ruined?Otherwise, you won't get the so-called'permit to kill'!

"Doug?"

During the last rehearsal, I received a call from Doug, the chief of staff of the Party Whip Office, "You don't want to intercede for Oprah too, do you?" Song Ya was half-jokingly probing.

Although the party whip Underwood is a Chicago politician, he made his fortune relatively late. Oprah had already left Chicago when he became a member of the Federal House of Representatives, and there was little overlap between the two sides.

He didn’t have the pressure to run this year, but his responsibilities were heavy. He needed to help the Donkey Party to keep a close eye on the elections of federal representatives in various places. He was very busy. It shouldn’t be necessary, and he didn’t care about participating in himself and Oprah of.

"What if I say Yes?" Doug asked rhetorically.

"You...you hypocritical politicians! A bunch of rubbish! I was innocent, and you want me to swallow it!? I don't have any guarantees for my life, so I have to wear body armor when I go out! Fxxk!"

Song Ya yelled. Underwood was more annoying than Gore if he didn't help. "Don't even think about getting a penny from me in the future! Tell your host..."

"Hey! Don't worry, APLUS."

Doug quickly stopped him from continuing to scold him, "Patiently listen to me and finish OK? Of course, I'm only responsible for spreading the word..."

On the second day, Song Ya waved her hands with emotion and sang AiSeEuTePego with all the Lisbon fans. The last global tour in 1996 ended successfully and smoothly.

"Hey, thank you, your hard work."

"Are you leaving? Oh yes, you are a native of Europe, but you will come to the party at night?"

"Don't run too far, there is a party in the evening, come all."

"Thank you, thank you, your hard work..."

When he stepped off the stage, he hugged everyone on the tour team, thanked them, and invited them to the party. There were no major accidents in the 13 large-scale concerts, and there were no internal gossips leaking. It was very satisfying. .

Surrounded by the tour team, shook hands with the hands stretched out from all directions. The creator, staff, dancers, musicians, singers, and bodyguards all came to socialize. He was in a good mood. Those who asked for autographed photos were not Refused, all satisfied.

"APLUS, the video is available, let's watch it together!"

Anshuzi high-level yelled from the periphery.

"immediately!"

He promised it loudly, and the people around consciously made a path and put him back to the lounge.

There are also a lot of people inside. In addition to the final finishing work, Fergie, Halle, Ms. Sloan, Jimmy, and others, as well as Anshutz and Sony Columbia Records.

After fighting for a while, Motula basically didn’t play his old tactics on A+ records, such as taking off the shelves, deliberately not playing charts, suppressing announcements, and delaying payment. It should be to minimize the impact. At the same time, it will not cause too much trouble for Sony.

This makes the singers of A+ Records stable at present, waiting for the appointment at the beginning of next year to change to a new company.

But this also shows that Ms. Sloan’s concerns are likely to be close to the truth. Motura really wants to kill himself and help Sony Columbia record his own commemorative album, otherwise there is no need to be so patient.

For the time being, Newman, who is still his own manager, also came. He was standing on the'last guard' and brought a video cassette.

"after……"

Song Ya embraced him warmly, "Take care of Mimi for me..."

Daniel is gone, and he has to leave soon. Newman’s life in the company will not be easy in the future. Fortunately, in addition to the executive salary, he also has half of Mariah Carey’s managerial income. He is also the administrator of NAS.

"rest assured."

Newman smiled and said: "Have you seen her interview with Chinese media?"

"of course."

The ex-wife is still very kind, and twice publicly claimed that she is not a person who abuses women so much, once in the book, and once yesterday. When interviewed by Wanwan Media, she once again expressed her support for herself.

In fact, her current situation is not very good. The hidden danger of Motula's return has been there. Her media exposure during the pregnancy in October was not good, and then she left the United States.Recently, Donnie Breston and her lyrical pop rhythm and blues single Un-BreakMyHeart, which has a similar route, became very popular once it hit the charts. Music media and music critics have given praises, thinking that Donnie has grown into a strong candidate for DIVA people.

The title of DIVA is not a Chinese cabbage. Some people will go down if they say something. She is also under great pressure.

Song Ya recently read a short-lived autobiography of a rock singer in the 1970s, which mentioned an experience from the singer's own perspective and felt very much the same.

It is that the singer himself often does not know whether he is actually popular or not, how popular he is.

The autobiography author’s band became famous very quickly. In the 1970s, the publicity of the rankings was mainly based on rushing to the field and performing on a tour to complete the promotion.When they released their first special, they started from a small place and traveled all the way through all the cities of all sizes. In a year, it was obvious that there were more audiences to watch the concert, and the fans became more and more crazy. They began to find various ways to post them. , Income naturally also skyrocketed.

As a result, the five band members became more and more proud, indulged, spent money like water, and signed the contract for the whole meter tour while the iron was hot.

It was another year of running around. When the tour ended, they felt that the audience was still there, the fans were still enthusiastic, and the girls were still posting like crazy, but they just stopped being popular, and suddenly they stopped being popular.The announcements from TV and radio stations are gone. Even if there are, they are invitations from small radio stations. The newspapers and magazines hadn’t talked about them for a long time. The advertisers disappeared. So did the paparazzi. The commercial performance fees were discounted and then discounted...

Only from the perspective of God can you clearly see the curve from their popularity to the gradual dying. From the discovery of new rock stars in the media to the tabloid publication of their out-of-order behavior during the tour, it didn’t take long. The song gradually disappeared from the public eye, and new bands of the same kind emerged. Slowly, although their tour box office was good, their songs were no longer played in shopping malls and bars, and their faces were no longer seen in the media. .

And these, to them, seemed to be just a moment after the tour ended, and then the second major failed, the team's internal conflicts were disbanded, and they disappeared completely.

A few years later, no one would recognize them on the road. Everything before that was like an unreal dream.

They have struggled, and they have tried their best to create heat, but in exchange they are ridiculed by the tabloids' unwillingness to be lonely, and then continue to be forgotten.

Although the five band members were still able to get some royalty income, the scenery in those two years was like a dark cloud in life. Among them, some were sucked and perished, and some could not accept the reality of suicide, except for this autobiography. Author, others have failed to maintain a stable life.

And what about yourself?Chicago's black singers, suspected murders of 2PAC, rape, violent men, marital infidelity men, insulting women, treason, gay rumors, etc., etc., all concentrated this year.

Song Ya actually doesn't know the whole picture of his perception among the public. Maybe after the tour, he is no longer popular, right?

'Boom!'

The sound of champagne opening interrupted his thoughts, "Go home! Go home!" Fergie was happily shouting, holding a large champagne bottle.

"Cheers!"

Everyone toasted to celebrate, Song Ya took a sip of wine, and sat down in front of the dressing table, Hallie snuggled over, "Aren't we going to be popular?" asked as if she had guessed what she was thinking.

"Don't scare yourself."

Song Ya knows that she has been in a low mood recently, and her darling must have lost her share, and offended Oprah again. If the Blade Warrior fails at the box office next year because of her decline in popularity, she... will not be young.

The black pearl who babbled and babbled on weekdays is now like a sick beauty who always complains.

He put his arms around her shoulders and encouraged, with little effect, "Let's watch TV."

The Anschutz people stuffed the video tape brought by Newman into the machine, which was from WGN Chicago.

"Oprah! We love you!"

Aunt Susie and Connie appeared in the screen. The two were surrounded by Oprah with a bright smile and shouted happily. Connie even took Oprah’s arm like an idol and jumped happily. .

"Connie, you... don't you?" No one here does not know the contradiction between himself and Oprah, Fergie said in surprise.

'Oprah Winfrey returned to Chicago today to attend a charity event organized by the Susie Foundation dedicated to helping the black poor in South City...'

Said the reporter's voiceover.

At this time, everyone noticed the cheque held by the three black women with buckets.

'She announced that she would donate 10 million to the Susie Foundation, and Susie happens to be APLUS's relative and aunt.'

"In Chicago, the life of the black community..."

Oprah stood on the stage, behind Susie and Connie, there were also Gordon, Pastor William, and some black elites in Chicago South City.

"I really appreciate Susie's charitable actions supporting the poor and the church over the years..."

Her speech level is top-notch, her voice is strong, and the typhoon is stable.

"Also, I want to apologize to Susie, the Nancheng African American group, and APLUS for my mistakes in the show. Because of my misbelief, I accidentally used a friend's comments on APLUS in the show. I’m sorry for that, Sorry."

Oprah's words were mixed in a long donation speech, and soon the conversation turned around and talked about grand issues, but it was enough.

It was so quiet in the lounge that needles could be heard.

"Shxt!"

Halle broke the silence, and she suddenly came alive, "APLUS! How did your M-Fxxk do it!?" She slapped Song Ya's arm vigorously, and her voice changed back to what it was before.

"I said I didn't say anything like that." Song Ya shrugged pretendingly under the gaze of everyone in the room.

WGN is a local station in Chicago, and Portugal can’t receive it, so I asked Newman to bring the video tape over, but there is no place...

"thanks, thanks……"

Oprah walked off the podium in applause, looked back at the ten million check that had been handed to Susie, her nose was sore, her heart ached, and she quickly avoided others and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

She really cried this time.
