Chapter 1016? Suspicion
"1997! Me! Dr. Dre! Will start my own dynasty! Aftermath Records!"
The ambitious Dre quickly gets drunk and becomes the center of the party, perhaps venting about finally getting out of hiding? He beat his chest with one fist and kept chanting slogans looking forward to a better future.
"Roar! Roar!"
Snoop Dogg, NAS and a group of big bosses surrounded him, also booing happily.
"Dog, NAS..."
Derry choked and hugged the shoulders of the two, "Brother, we will succeed!"
"yeah!"
Snoop Dogg echoed loudly with a distorted face. He didn’t defect with Derry because he was cowardly before. Now that the pressure from Sugnett is gone and the old brothers are reunited, it seems that this knot has been repaired .
"NAS has also learned to hide it from me. It seems that he has been secretly engaged with Derry for a long time."
Through the crack of the door, Song Ya, who was hiding in the room, watched the scene coldly, and said softly, "Newman, the administrator of the NAS, has not leaked anything."
"It's normal. Derry's whereabouts cannot be known by Su Ge Knight. Morally, both NAS and Newman must help keep it secret until the danger is lifted."
Hayden, who had just arrived in New York, replied: "NAS will release a rap group album on Derry's new label next year."
"It's a bad sign anyway." Song Ya felt a little betrayed.
"You will leave Sony Columbia Records next year. As your good friend, NAS also has to find a way out for itself."
Hayden said: "His new group TheFirm will bring Foxy Brown under your banner as the only female singer, which is very beneficial to Foxy Brown's career prospects. It is considered that he and Newman have shown us goodwill."
"Maybe they want to take this opportunity to poach someone from me." Song Ya was suspicious.
"Dre? He didn't dare. He finally escaped from the pressure of Big E and Su Ge Knight for a full ten years. For the first time in his life, he owned his own record company. How could he provoke the King of Chicago for no reason. "
Hayden said with a smile: "TheFirm's combination is similar to the Wudang Gang. Most of the time they fly solo, and get together before and after the release of the specialization to take advantage of the group."
Song Ya frowned and glanced back at him, "You always think about things too optimistically, just like flowers in a greenhouse."
This is not a good word for the agent, and Hayden immediately panicked, "Uh, I just don't think that Dre and NAS are...they are not real gangsters."
"It's terrible for honest people to explode, Hayden."
Song Ya stared at De Rui, who was dancing, "It's fine if he signed another publisher, the record? Doesn't that mean that nothing has changed? Only the squeeze of Su Ge Knight's Death Row record was removed between him and the record." His middlemen...they should have negotiated plans for a new record label before 2PAC died, otherwise they wouldn't have moved so fast."
He said: "Isn't there a saying? Whoever benefits is the suspect. Among the beneficiaries of 2PAC being shot, Death Row Records and Su Ge Knight's collapse, except for Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Records and Records, the rest It was him who committed the crime, and they had a basis for collusion. Derry came to me, which means that he knows very well that I am not the murderer behind the murder of 2PAC, so does it mean that he knows who the real murderer is?"
"Nadry should have killed Suknight, not 2PAC."
Hayden said, "As for him not suspecting you, it's easy to explain. He should know the song that dissed you in 2PAC's posthumous work, but at the same time cleared you of suspicion."
"The results are all the same, and the co-founder of the record, Iovine, is from the Red Hook District of Brooklyn, New York, and is of Italian descent..."
As soon as the suspicion germinated, Song Ya murmured to himself: "Originally 2PAC was his singer, but 2PAC switched because he was grateful for Su Ge Knight's help in getting out of prison. This means that the record was divided by Su Ge Knight Walking away with a lot of money... I heard that the California record industry agrees that Iovine is a grumpy guy,
Possesses what is called 'brutal honesty'. It was Iowen who encouraged 2PAC's mother to snatch the copyright of 2PAC's recordings and posthumous works, and planned to release 2PAC's new best album without Su Ge Knight. "
"Last year, due to the huge negative public perception caused by the war between the east and west coasts, Warner Music was forced to give up 50% of the shares in the record, and the price for Universal to take over was 120 million."
Hayden said: "Under the same extremely unfavorable external environment, Universal is only willing to pay 80 million for half of A+ Records. In addition to the distribution rights of Death Row Records, the record also owns singers such as rock star Marilyn Manson, and Part of the West Coast distribution rights for U2..."
"What do you want to say?" Song Ya asked impatiently.
"I mean, as the founder of the record, Iovine is worth a lot of money. According to Universal's valuation last year, he has at least tens of millions of assets. There is no need to get involved in the vendetta of African-American street singers. Take a step back and say , even if he really participated, then we, as irrelevant personnel, shouldn't go deep into it, spoil his affairs, and make enemies for nothing. After all, next year everyone will live under the same global roof..."
Hayden persuaded: "Let Suge Knight deal with it himself, APLUS."
Song Ya thought about it, and finally didn't struggle anymore, and closed the door, "Let's talk about business, Hayden, I heard that your new home in Beverly Hills is next door to Amy Adams?"
"hey-hey……"
Hayden smiled embarrassedly, "It's not as expensive as Amy's. The location is a bit worse, and it's also smaller. There are discounts for the real estate agent who sell two sets together."
"Is the decoration ready?" Song Ya asked.
"The original owner's home decoration is very good. I don't have the money to rebuild it. I have to pay back the mortgage... I just repaired it." Hayden replied.
"Well, that's it. I plan to give Halle a house. It's urgent, but if it's much worse than Amy, I'm a little sorry."
Song Ya hinted while sitting in front of the computer and typing.
"Uh, okay, I... I'll look for it when I get back to Los Angeles..." Hayden actually guessed it, but he still had a glimmer of hope.
"Don't M-fxxk pretend to be stupid! Calculate the money, and I'll write the check."
Song Ya didn't give it a chance.
"My wife will kill me..." Hayden begged, following behind him.
"No matter how disappointing you William Morris are, I want to kill you."
Rolling his eyes at him, Song Ya vented his dissatisfaction, "I still have to wear a body armor when I go out!"
"We got Wesley Snipes, and Shailene Fern's ex-boyfriend of the photographer, etc..."
Hayden retorted: "Have you noticed recently that the attacks on you by various media and those who broke your black material before have almost disappeared? That is because we are doing a lot of work in silence, and forcing Oprah to bow... ..."
"Isn't it because the polling day of the general election is approaching!?"
Song Ya yelled at him, "Don't play tricks on me, Hayden! Ms. Sloan told me that the media that smeared me before are actively reducing my exposure. They are now replaced by newsletters, occasionally broadcasting things related to me. All kinds of lawsuits. Quan Music sued the American music website, Ellie’s rape case, A+CN’s case of discrimination against white job applicants, Tony beat up Connie’s ex-boyfriend and was suspected of car robbery, and so on. I won’t let it go. Most of the traditional media can’t find positive news about me, and if this continues... No, I’m already starting to lose my temper. You guys can’t do as much as Sloan alone!”
"We are indeed putting in one hundred and twenty cents of APLUS." Hayden begged again: "Donovan is running around inside Paramount."
"Where's Motura's black material?"
"Yes, yes, we have collected a lot, most of which are his entanglements with various women over the years, including marriages and divorces."
"My gosh! That's no use to a whole record exec!"
Song Ya was almost helpless, "His relationship with the mafia, or tax evasion, murder, or even some seemingly stupid actions are more effective than sleeping women."
"He is a senior executive in the recording industry. He is usually very careful, and his professional experience is considered innocent. Recently, he has lived in reclusive life...Although he has many contacts with Italians in the entertainment industry, the so-called connection with the Mafia is only a rumor at present, and it is difficult to get Hard evidence."
Hayden could only keep explaining, "Please trust us William Morris, as long as he does it, we will definitely find out."
"A little problem."
Old Mike pushed open the door and tilted his head as a signal.
It just so happens that I don't know what to talk about with William Morris, "Give me your workload report, schedule, how many people are busy with my work during this period, and what have you done? I want to check!" Song Ya also Not wanting to say unnecessary threats to terminate the contract, he followed Old Mike to the monitoring room after leaving a sentence.
"It's normal for them to carry guns."
In the surveillance footage, in the parking lot downstairs in Tribeca, there are a few attendants brought by Dre and NAS, smoking and chatting beside the car. One guy's shirt back hem is not done properly, revealing the black gun on the back waist The handle, which looks like a gun handle, cannot be captured clearly by the surveillance camera, and the guy keeps moving.
"As long as the ones that come up are clean, but these people are not." Old Mike said.
"I shouldn't fucking throw this party."
Song Ya was full of suspicion, "Just wait until they leave with the boss, don't put it up. By the way, Mike..."
He said: "I'm planning to fly to Los Angeles before going to Florida. Amy's new movie is about to start painting, on the 30th."
"You want to be at the premiere?" Old Mike asked.
"No, I'll just...give Amy and Harry a big house, and it feels weird not to be there..."
Surprise, it's a pity that I can't see Amy and Halle's surprise with my own eyes, "Is it possible? This is not a confirmed itinerary, right?"
"No public appearances." Old Mike confirmed.
"No public appearance." Song Ya nodded, "I'll just stay in Beverly Hills and not go anywhere."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Old Mike couldn't refuse his watery hopeful eyes and agreed.
