Chicago 1990

"APLUS, what made you determined to invest in the big ship? In 1996, this project directed by Cameron was very unpopular, right?"

"Because he is James Cameron."

"Haha! But he told the media that he never talked to you about Titanic."

"Uh……"

Soon, Song Ya appeared on the scene of David Letterman's talk show, facing the other side's little malicious ambush, he grinned, "I trust him, he is one of the greatest film directors in the world. I am. I also like the legend of Titanic very much. I read related documents in the library a long time ago, and watched some movies and documentaries from the early years. When I learned that Director Cameron copied the big ship one by one, I felt like I was all over my body. The blood is boiling... and then I heard that the ship is short of money and the project may be interrupted. There was a voice in my mind saying: Okay! I have money, you must complete it!"

"Did you know that this was actually a love story?"

"do not know."

The two laughed together, "I saw a short sample before investing money." Song Ya replied: "The kind with a piercing lens is very rough, but I still decided to vote."

"Thank you for helping Cameron complete such a great masterpiece."

David Letterman didn't dig any further, pulling back to the topic, "Thank you also for giving me the first show after the comeback."

The two laughed again.

"So, your seven-minute Can'tHoldUs radio version is a new album single?"

"I haven't made a final decision. I tend to compress it to a normal length of four minutes. I'm still making a decision."

"Did you bring us a live performance today?" David Letterman asked.

The audience cheered and clamored.

"No, sorry, no..." Song Ya spread his hands and apologized to the camera and the audience with a wry smile, "You know, David, I have been in a coma for five months. Recovery will be a very long process. Although it will not be long after losing the crutches. , But my doctor still does not recommend me to do strenuous exercises like dancing."

"No need to dance, everyone is looking forward to hearing your Live, right? You haven't sang on the show for a long time."

David Letterman took the microphone off the table and handed it over.

"I'm still sorry, David, I am a perfectionist."

"That's regretful."

"Yes……"

"Let's talk about other things, you were admitted to the University of Chicago Law School, right?"

"Yes, spring school starts at the end of this month."

"Wow……"

The two chatted like old friends they hadn't seen for many years. David Letterman didn't touch any sensitive topics. The effect of the program was naturally a bit dull and boring, and finally ended in his care and condolences for his body.

‘APLUS appeared on the David Letterman talk show last night. This is his first TV interview since he was shot...’

'APLUS is thinner and is no longer as energetic as it was in the past. When he laughs, it is easy to find the faint sadness in his facial expressions. He walks slowly and his manners are a bit restrained. It seems that he has not adapted to the life under the spotlight. . Indeed, speaking of it, he has been away from the camera for a long time. ’

‘APLUS announced a new program and a global tour plan for the second half of the year, but at the same time it also claimed to enter the University of Chicago. There seems to be a contradiction between these things. His new spokesperson said that everything depends on APLUS's physical recovery. APLUS believes that science, his doctors, not himself or business partners have the final decision. ’

The next day, the bragging father, wearing a luxurious plaid suit, a top hat and a fancy pocket square on his chest, told the driver to turn off the radio, take a deep breath, and push the door to get out of the car.

"Do you really have to spend so much money to buy shares here? That's 10 million dollars."

His friend Dave Hall, the producer of Big Fatty, persuaded: "You can actually wait, APLUS has few potential buyers."

"Russell Simmons, they are all about, Dave, I have my own enemy in New York, my own war."

The bragging father looked up at the headquarters of the Inner City Broadcasting Company, with great ambitions, "APLUS says that it is first-come, first-served. I can't take risks without working with them."

After the death of 2PAC, Derry and Snoop Dogg might attract a lot of attention if they stayed on the west coast and engaged in infighting, but they both made Sugonite's back and feared Sugonite's revenge, so they all ran away. The rap circle on the east coast gangsters lost their face and was completely helpless.

APLUS was shot in a coma, and no one in the Midwest was qualified to fill his vacancy. His good brother Biggie was shot to death later, but his new album and bad boy record were the commemorative albums released by Biggie, and he was able to win over Jazzy, NAS and others, finally withstanding the pressure.

And after the turmoil, the entire gangster rap circle's eyeballs focused on the East Coast. This is a good thing and a bad thing. The billionaire Russell Simmons of the DefJam department, and the friends of the old subordinates LLCoolJ and LLCoolJ, the real bandit Irv Gaudi formed a new The confrontational forces are currently trying to win over B-GOD, Wudang Gang and other powerful new and old singers.

Bragging father decided to continue to climb up, he must have new media power at a higher level and maintain his hard-won New York rap king status.

"Let's go up." He lifted his chin to the white lawyer and accountant behind him, and walked firmly into the building.

He came to the Inner City Broadcasting Company to record many radio shows and is familiar with the road, but he has never walked into the other party's large conference room.

"Hey, bragging father, Dave."

In his early years, Pierre Sutton, the chairman of the inner city, who didn't think much of him, smiled, "After today, you will be our largest individual shareholder. Are you ready?"

"How about APLUS?"

He put away his scorn, dragged his self-esteem with the people in the inner city, but had to shake hands with the traditional New York media people who were pleased with him.

"He is preparing documents with the lawyer. Please sit down first. It should be soon. We will wait."

Pierre Sutton led the group into the audience.

"All right. Then try this, good Cuban goods." The bragging father asked the little brother to take out the cigar box and divide the cigarettes.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a woman's cough came from her ear. A beautiful white elite woman stood at the door and refused to come in. She kept her hands in front of her nose and fanned her expression to the people in the meeting room. dissatisfied.

"Sorry, Mrs. Flock."

Pierre Sutton pressed the cigar out, "No need to introduce it, you should know all of them."

Bragging father remembers this woman seems to be the wife of the governor of Illinois? He was also the lawyer of APLUS, so he had to put out the cigar, got up and shook hands, "Mrs. Flock, Yo, APLUS."

Song Ya smiled and followed behind Alicia, and greeted the opponent with a fist.

"Sit down."

Song Ya walked to the opposite of the bragging father and the others, and Pierre stumbled in the seat reserved for him by the legs of the stool.

"Be careful." Alicia held his elbow.

"Sorry, my body is not completely healed yet."

Song Ya smiled and helped her pull the chair away before sitting down by herself.

A billionaire in Illinois, even the governor’s wife is willing to be so close. As expected, the gap between himself and him is very big...

Seeing this scene, the bragging father secretly introspected, he must continue to accumulate strength and keep chasing.

"Then let's get started, uh..."

Alicia moved her hair behind her ears in a good mood, and took out the documents from her briefcase, "APLUS transferred 15.6% of the Inner City Broadcasting Company's shares and 12.8% to Seancombe. Mr. Si personally, for a price of 10 million, Mr. Sean Combs also obtained two directors who originally belonged to APLUS... The others were repurchased by the Inner City Broadcasting Company, and APLUS’s Littman Media acquired XXL magazine under the name of Inner City Broadcasting Company. Part of the equity."

The tripartite transaction is not complicated. After completion, Song Ya’s personal shareholding will be reduced to 10%, but he can still retain a little more influence than the share ratio, that is, the two directors. Sloan hopes Litman in his heart. The goal of increasing the influence of the media on XXL magazines has also been achieved.

This price is very favorable, and it also means that after several years of tossing in the inner city, I definitely lost a lot from an investment perspective. But there was no way. After the guys got the investment from Clear Media and joined the other party's advertising alliance, their income seemed to increase, but they still continued to play the political fundraising system, and they were not satisfied with how much money.

I have struggled and tried to change, but it hasn't had any fundamental impact on them, it is still a mess.

Simply leave some influence and don't spend energy playing with them in the future.

"no problem."

After checking the contract, the professionals from Bragging Dad nodded.

"Then sign it." All the preliminary communication has been completed, and Song Adam immediately took a pen to sign.

The bragging father is more solemn here, and the pen nib hangs over the file and hesitates for a while before signing.

"You all go out." Pierre Sutton waited until the transaction was completed to dismiss the insignificant people, "Bag father, in accordance with our previous agreement, starting today you will exert your influence in Harlem to help We hold the lease of the Apollo Theater in the New York City Council..."

"No problem." The bragging father nodded, "I know what this theater means to us African-American musicians."

"That's good." At this point, Pierre Sutton can only believe in the bragging father.

The Manhattan Gang was only concerned about those few things. Song Ya silently listened to Pierre and the new shareholders confessing all the things they had troubled him before.

"APLUS, come to my bad boy record tonight? There is a celebration party." The bragging father asked after staring at the lawyer and putting away the contract.

"No, I have something to do right away."

"Hey, don't disappoint."

"Really something." Song Ya got up and went out with Alicia.

"Where are you going?"

"A place that is meaningful to me." Song Ya turned around and blinked at the people in the conference room.

It really made sense, and Old Mike quickly took him and Alicia to the destination.

"Don't get out of the car?"

Alicia found him strange.

"Ok."

He promised, but still sitting in the car, looking up at the black building in front of him for a long time. Some things seemed to have been a long, long time ago. When he first entered this building, he didn't know that the struggle would be so fierce as later. Point.

He even recalled the scene of the shooting day in his mind, the falling snow, the apocalyptic music in his ears, the warning sound of Mavota, the sound of horseshoes, the sound of gunfire...

And the face of Trevor, the mob who has not been caught up to now.

When he revisited the shooting place, he didn't feel much in his heart. He didn't expect that here, in front of the headquarters of Sony Columbia Records, he started to feel a lot of emotion.

He thought of Walt who had picked him up at the time, as well as his ex-wife Mariah Carey, David Cole, and Roberto Cleverville. He thought of the four restaurants they often went to eat after the recording, and what happened later. ...

Of course there is Motura.

"APLUS?" Alicia stepped out of the car door with one foot and urged back.

"coming."

Everything is over, and it is not really necessary to go here in person, but the truly powerful people should be everywhere in the world. The same is true here. Song Ya took a deep breath and pushed the door.

Most of the people who entered and left the building were insiders. Someone soon recognized him, and they knew more or less about his struggle with Motula and Motula's suicidal suicide by swallowing sleeping pills on the day of the inauguration of the leader. Some people expected that he would come to the headquarters of his old club again. People's eyes showed surprise and a little awe. They subconsciously stepped aside, but immediately stopped again, staring tightly at him, wanting to see what he was going to do. Well.

Song Ya didn't look at anyone, and followed Alicia up the stairs.

"Mr. APLUS, Mr. President is waiting for you in the office."

Riclubin's secretary greeted him at the door.

"Ok."

Song Ya shook hands with the other party and walked into the lobby. There is no change here, but after this year, it won’t be the same. The capital behind PolyGram, one of the six largest companies, has just announced a willingness to resell. Currently, the other five largest companies have ideas. Sony Columbia Records, as the current industry leader, naturally has an advantageous position in acquisition.

He took a firm step and was led into the elevator.

The two middle-aged white executives were already in the car, and Song Ya nodded politely with them.

The emotion of the other party was also very surprised at first, but soon revealed a trace of resentment. The muscles of their faces shook involuntarily, and then silently turned their heads to cover them.

Song Ya had a slight impression that these two guys used to be ‘Mothura’s people’.

I have a long memory, it seems that after a lifetime, he didn't say anything, these people hate themselves, but there is no threat to them.

He looked at the poster of Celine Dion’s Big Ship theme song in the car. With the Titanic fire, this is now everywhere on the street and in the video store outside.

'Ding. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com’

When the elevator reached a floor, the two went out, and more people came in. The staff holding the documents were still chatting about each other. When they saw themselves, they shut up and walked in silently and stood up. There has always been silence.

"Arrived."

When reaching the top floor, the person was already in the air, and the secretary continued to lead the way.

"What?" Song Ya habitually walked to Motula's former president's office, but saw the secretary heading in another direction.

"Not here, the president's office has been changed."

"Oh."

Song Ya took a deep look at the closed door, the nameplate at the door was gone, and it seemed that it had not been opened for a long time.
