Chicago 1990

Celebrities and their families are the most difficult kind of interpersonal relationship. Although the concept of family in the United States is weaker than that in China, it is caused by the development of industrial society. Its religious and cultural core itself attaches great importance to family, and mainstream people also prefer family celebrations. Mu's star, falling out with his family is an absolute deduction, especially for money.

Don't look at the gossip media very much like to talk about the grievances of the rich and the celebrities and their family members, but the reason why news becomes news is precisely because of the difference in the lives of ordinary people and the voyeurism of specific groups of people.

Child star Macaulay King’s parents are typical of his son’s insatiable greed. Some time ago, his father asked his son to strike and blackmail Fox Pictures. He was denounced by the seven major film companies as hell’s guard dogs, McCauley King and his parents all sorts of evil Xing was quickly exposed, and the boy star, who had been a box office guarantee since The Little Ghost, was suddenly hit hard. In fact, he is only twelve or three years old this year. It is not his fault at all, but he still has to follow that pair of strange parents.

On the last day of July, Mariah Carey took Song Ya to a restaurant on Long Island to meet her mother and brother.

The mother's temperament is very good, the opera soprano, white Irish descent, because of her family's opposition to marrying Mariah Carey's black father, she was driven out of the house by her family. Her father is considered a good black man. He has a formal engineer job. He has been honest for several years after marriage, but the divorce from her mother is still. At that time, her mother, who did not hesitate to split her family, could only wander in New York with her two children alone. The opera market had been stagnant for decades. There was a single crop of work, and a lonely single mother with her two children. New York has had a hard time.

She is not like Aunt Susie, in the dignified urban slums of her hometown in Chicago, where government and non-governmental charitable welfare organizations gather together. Residents have long developed a set of survival experience proficient in relying on various welfare. A good girl from a middle-class family, she has a job and can't even receive subsidies for single mothers. When she was most difficult, she was driven out by the landlord and sneaked into the laundromat with her brother and sister for the night.

All this did not improve until she became the female chief of the troupe. The family moved into a good community and lived a stable mid-career life.

Mariah Carey’s brother Morgan is a tall, thin and stylish young man, five years older than her, European-style appearance, darker complexion, has been a male model and played in bands, but unfortunately not very successful. Mariah Carey’s fame is part of his credit. He introduced his younger sister to the acquaintance Brenda Starr as a backing vocalist, and Mariah Carey was noticed by the recording industry in New York, during which she also sponsored her sister.

"Do you know? Aplus, she used to work anywhere and would be fired in two weeks."

As long as Song Ya wants to please deliberately, it will definitely make the conversation partner comfortable. Morgan relaxed and chatted about his sister's old embarrassment with a cigarette, and was immediately slapped by Mariah Carey on the arm, "Hey , Don't talk about it, okay?"

"Why?" Song Ya grabbed her blocking hand, "I want to listen."

"Because I can only sing." Mariah Carey replied rushingly.

"Yes, she always sings, and she sings when the waitress in the restaurant serves tea and water." Morgan said with a smile, "I poured coffee on the guests without knowing it."

"That's why mimi can achieve what it is today, right?" Song Ya complimented.

"The best," she added triumphantly.

"Maybe when should we go to Chicago and meet your aunt? aplus." her mother suggested.

This is when the mother-in-law saw her right. In which culture the parents met are a sign of considering marriage, "At any time." Song Ya was a little caught off guard, but she couldn't give the wrong answer at this time.

He glanced at Mariah Carey, who was smiling and reaching for the little croissant in the bread basket.

"Cough." Immediately, he coughed severely and was not allowed to eat.

"I hate it." She groaned and complained to her mother, "He keeps me eating."

Both her mother and brother laughed.

"Can you help Brenda?" Coming out of the restaurant, brother Morgan asked Song Ya after she got in the car.

"What happened to Brenda?" Song Ya never knew the nobleman on Mariah Carey's diva road. He only knew that he was famous in New York in the 1980s, as if he was singing rhythm and blues.

"She has been doing very badly recently. She was terminated by Sony Columbia Records in 1991, and now she only has odd jobs to make ends meet."

Morgan said: "Album sales are very poor, Motula is very domineering, and my sister is not allowed to interact with her former friends."

"Why?" Song Ya asked.

"Who knows, people like Motula can't explain to mimi." Morgan replied, "We dare not ask."

"Now in this contrast, she and mimi have a knot?"

Song Yadai thinks from Brenda's perspective. The former backing singer is now diva, and the more he mixes, the more miserable he is. There is a huge gap between the singer's red and the unpopular life. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to ensure a psychological balance.

"Perhaps? But mimi doesn't understand these people's sophistication. The social circle was organized by Motula before. As far as I am concerned, I want to repay Brenda. After all, I introduced mimi to follow her..." Morgan said.

Song Ya had a good impression of this brother, "Well, let me try, you let Brenda go to Chicago, and my a record is auditioning for a female rhythm and blues singer."

"Okay, I will take her to thank you aplus." Morgan was very happy.

"Don't, my record company is very small and can't afford idlers. It's just an audition." Song Ya quickly took the shot and danced the soundtrack of my life. It was too important for me to talk about favors on this matter. .

"My dear..." Maria poked her head out of the back seat of her new Lincoln stretch car. "Hurry up, the movie is about to begin."

The two plan to secretly go to watch the movie starring Jenny Jackson and 2pac, Justin, who wrote poems, after dinner.

"I understand, don't worry." Morgan patted his arm. "Go ahead."

Song Ya got into the car and just closed the door, she had already put down the small window communicating with the cab.

This car is nearly ten meters long, and all the windows are invisible from the outside. Putting down that small window will form a very private space.

"Just eaten..." Before Song Ya had finished speaking, she rushed forward.

"We must have our own private viewing room in our new house in the future."

When the two people with simple makeup walked into a local movie theater, she planned forwardly.

"No problem." Song Ya, who just got the record revenue settlement, was very confident.

The two walked into the auditorium, which had already been reserved. Old Mike was guarding the aisle with other bodyguards. Linda and her assistant were sitting in the last row, and the two cuddled up in the best middle position.

At the beginning of the movie, Song Ya, who had already reached Hollywood, watched it intently.

Director John Singleton continued his style in his debut in the neighborhood boy, and his portrayal of the black neighborhood is in place. The movie starring diva must have a sufficient budget, which makes it easy for him to bypass the set flaws in the neighborhood boy. , Making the film more realistic.

The soundtrack of the movie is also very good. In addition to Janet Jackson’s own songs, she has also collected tlc, babyface, Snoop Dogg, Steve Wanda and many other black singers as well as rookies such as Arthur Boy. The soundtrack has been released. Sony Columbia Records’ epic record was released. Because Janet Jackson was signed to EMI’s Viking Records, her songs were not included in the soundtrack.

The movie itself was also released by Columbia Pictures. It seems that her brother MJ helped a lot in it.

But... That's it. This movie can't be compared with the Street Boys in any other respects. It is essentially a personal love film set off by Janet Jackson, with a general plot and performance. 2pac and other black actors are quite satisfactory. Jenny Jackson occupies too many scenes and close-ups. In order to avoid the shortcomings of her relatively large face, those close-ups are mostly side shots or distant shots, which makes the rhythm and expressiveness of the film more powerful. problem.

There was no spark between 2pac and Jenny. According to 2pac's complaint, the relationship between the two parties in reality was also stiffened by this movie. I heard that this character wanted to find Escobe, but he refused, that cunning fellow.

"This movie won't sell well, right?"

Mariah Carey asked when the movie was about to end. The competition between diva and diva is very serious, especially after Whitney Houston got the box office, word-of-mouth and record harvest with a bodyguard.

"probably not."

Song Ya is still a little confident in her own judgment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hollywood likes to criticize the movies starring singers for a reason. Due to the strong position of the singer and the big money-spending in pursuit of amphibious success, the singer will be in the movie. The right to speak is too high during production, and this movie has committed many such problems.

The plots and close-ups of the singer are unnecessary and compress the appreciation of the story, and the performance of the singer is usually mediocre. In addition, the singer is always in a situation where the people around him and the fans are brainless to praise and maintain, the singer is often particularly easy to fall into self Intoxicated, unable to objectively look at the criticism and ridicule of the outside world, and turned into annoyance.

And the more anxious you become, the Hollywood media who are chasing hot spots will like to stimulate you, and if you don't handle it well, you will fall into a negative cycle and hit your own popularity. Madonna's early films are an excellent example of this cycle, and have become a frequent guest of the Golden Raspberry Awards.

These are minefields that I want to avoid, Song Ya secretly reflected, he must not repeat the same mistakes in my life.

His answer made Mariah Carey secretly pleased, "When will I shoot my script?" she asked.

"Uh, polish the script first." Song Ya rubbed his nose and perfunctorily.

After the two returned to Tribeca's home, "aplus." Linda quietly called him to the study and closed the door, "Your phone seems to be Miss Milla Jovovich."

"is it?"

Song Ya took the phone, "aplus?" A man's voice came out on the phone.

"I'm."

"A lady who is under fbi monitoring requests to talk to you, and your conversation will be recorded." The person said.
