Chapter 1164? The Reappearing Life Mentor
Deues goodbye. I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Re,
goodbye! I'm off to explore the world and my girl wants to go to Rome
Caesar make you a believer. Now I never ever did it for a throne.
Do you believe in Caesar? No, I never run for fame
In the audio-visual store, his own singing was heard again, as well as the large poster at the door, as well as the constant exposure of his whereabouts, interviews, news...even financial news. The legend that Huiyan gambled on the Titanic project is even more clichéd... As the big ship is invincible in the world, some media touted it very nasty.
"Okay, let's go, Mike."
Song Ya asked old Mike to drive around the city after school, and just narcissistically watched the Cant Hold Us MV played on the TV wall through the shop window. A large single-person print advertisement for its schoolbag.
Similarly, he also fulfilled the advertising obligation of light sticks according to the requirements of Dow, which he has cooperated with for many years. The ten-year endorsement contract has not yet expired. Last year, he was shot in a coma and caused CNA Insurance to pay Dow a sum of money.
Then 3DFX's new VOODOO2 display chip was launched, and almost all mainstream graphics card manufacturers on the market launched corresponding product lines, which were highly recognized by the DIY market.
VOODOO2 also has a unique Sli technology. The demonstration effect of Quake 2 at the electronic exhibition is beyond the times. Now it is out of stock, and the price increase is hard to find. However, there are still many geek players who buy two. Zhang, take it back and play the game with two cards.
The 2D3D integrated VOODOO RUSH2 chip design is also about to be completed, and it is expected to enter the larger OEM market and turn over from the failure of the first generation.
The stock price of 3DFX is naturally rising every day, and it is about to cross the billion mark.
"Many advertisers have dated my boss."
One happy event after another, "This time there are many high-end European luxury brands, as well as some multinational fast-moving consumer brands..." Hayden called to report, and he had already followed Linda and others to change his tune and called himself the boss up.
"You William Morris will screen for me first, it must be in line with my current status.
But don't be in a hurry to get me an autograph, wait until I win the theme song of the World Cup after the FIFA conference in March. "
Song Ya himself didn't expect the rejuvenation to be so smooth, the fans and the market still love me after all, he thought to himself.
It's a pity that the threshold for these stimuli has already become very high, Song Ya quickly calmed down, and ordered, "The endorsement fee at that time...do you understand?"
"Of course I understand, haha! I will definitely get the best offer!" Hayden happily ended the call.
"Go back to Highland Park?" Old Mike drove the car off the side of the road.
"No? The boss is going to attend the fan meeting tonight and continue filming the MV by the way." Assistant Melissa said.
The MV of the Cup of Life, or should it be called the first version of the MV, is for the release of the bill before the FIFA conference? Get the qualification and provide it to the committees of various countries for evaluation? After the theme song is really determined, it should be shot again with the national football federations and stars A collaborative version? Same for We Are One with Shakira.
The investment in the two MVs is not small, the film crew set off early to shoot around the world, mainly some stadiums, fans and game scenes? Song Taitai is busy? The director did not dare to press too many tasks.
"Denise, thank you for coming back to help."
Tonight's fan meeting is huge? All the little leaders of the Chicago fan organization have been rediscovered? Including old classmate Denise? "And little Emily? Little Beyoncé..."
The Destiny's Child group came to help sing the stage? Their song Worth It is currently at No. 5 on the B chart? Topics, both for them and themselves are very good points.
Song Ya arrived at the scene, and first hugged the black girls in an approachable manner.
"I'm going backstage first." Emily said suddenly, turned around and left.
Destiny's Child became famous very quickly with the first single, but Emily was under a lot of pressure? The public opinion didn't find fault with her singing skills? Instead, they ridiculed and attacked her bloated body, which was completely different from the other four members? More and more mean? What an 'elephant in the room' or something.
"Help me take care of him, Matthew."
Of course Song Ya has heard about it, but this kind of self-care can't help? He asked Beyoncé's father, Matthew Norris.
"no problem."
Matthew Norris rushed to the backstage with his daughter who jumped up and hugged the boss as soon as he saw the boss, and the other three members of the group. Years of hard work finally came to fruition. He is now very obedient to himself.
"Return of the APLUS! Get up!"
Then the fan meeting started smoothly. He started with Cant Hold Us, and the emotions of thousands of fans in the audience were immediately ignited. Song Ya took the time to observe, and the boys and girls who started to fantasize about him seven or eight years ago are now big girls Big guy, younger 'fresh blood' doesn't look like a high proportion.
According to a questionnaire survey conducted by Linda from a consulting company, a large proportion of the new group of middle school girls are fans of Backstreet Boys, and even black girls who were not interested in teenage pop music before could not resist the singing and dancing of five handsome boys. .
'Toot, toot, toot...'
For the next song "Cup of Life", he knew that the film crew would edit this section into the MV by taking materials by the way. During the prelude of the Latin-style trombone, he suddenly used his feet to hook up the vertical microphone stand on the ground, held it neatly in his hand, and then Twist your ass with Latin dance moves on the sidelines.
The handsome action designed by the Latin producer was very effective, and the female fans immediately screamed nympho, and the atmosphere reached a climax again.
"Let us welcome you, Destiny's Child!"
Since his body has not yet recovered to his best condition, he had to rest for a while after dancing this powerful Latin dance, so he introduced the pad singer to come on stage early.
Putting on costumes, the five members of Beyoncé jumped onto the stage briskly like deer, "Come on!" Song Ya clapped hands with them one by one, and introduced them.
"What's the matter? Ms. Kingsley?" Walking into the lounge, Melissa handed him the mobile phone, which was sent by Kingsley's manager.
"I warn you, don't talk to me with this attitude."
The old woman was a little agitated, and she was entangled with her speech very fast. Shirley Lansing was fired by Redstone, and Liang Tang was also involved in a transaction scandal with the former president. In addition, the British tabloids swore a lot of evidence this year. Said that Liangtang is actually gay, and has been married to the Australian big white girl Nicole Kidman for many years. Pakinski's reputation and energy in Hollywood have dropped rapidly, and Song Ya will not be used to it, "What's the matter!? Just say it clearly I don't know why I don't have time... What... What's the matter with Guan Xuelinfen?"
"I don't know! What's going on...um, um..." He listened to the phone and walked to a corner away from Shakira, his face getting more and more gloomy.
"APLUS! And Shakira! Shakira!"
Chatted until it was his and Shakira's turn to take the stage.
"How is Edgar doing?"
The next day, Bronfman Sr., a semi-retired liquor tycoon and chairman of the Global Jewish Congress, asked David Geffen after his golf swing, "I have only one successful child. The other children... I didn't recruit either, just spend a lot of time and drink to keep alive."
"He is very hardworking and smart. Universal is thriving under his management. You should have read last year's financial report, especially Universal Pictures. The data is very beautiful. He has a very good eye for people. Ron Meyer, the former CAA The founders are very hardworking and loyal under him.”
David Geffen complimented, and deliberately interrupted after seeing the doting smile on the old Bronfman's face, "By the way, how is the recovery of the Jewish World War II deposits from the Swiss Bank going?"
The old Bronfman is mainly busy with this matter now, "It's not going well, the Swiss will not give in easily, I think we may not be able to achieve the goal with the strength of our Jews alone, everyone knows that the pursuit is just an excuse. We need to wait for a The opportunity, one thing, made them have to be pressured to put the financial settlement system under the supervision of the United States."
"What……"
"Don't talk about this." Old Bronfman brought the subject back, "I heard some rumors that Barry Diller is trying to control him?"
"People like Barry Diller...you know Mr. Bronfman better than I do. He was already a top player in Hollywood when I was a small player." David Geffen smiled wryly.
"Any other questions? Tell me, David, what can't you say in front of me?" Old Bronfman strode towards the green, "Just communicate like old friends."
"Don't dare... Uh, you know your son, he doesn't like snitches the most."
"Come on, my mouth has been proven for decades and is the strictest. I won't even reveal your words to him."
"Uh... nothing special, but I don't think he should have made APLUS stand down at the meeting that day. I know APLUS very well. He and I are old friends. That African-American kid from the street is stubborn, hostile and defiant. …I think you’ve heard about his destructive years at Sony Columbia Records, and now he’s breaking the ceiling and becoming a billionaire with loads of cash.”
David Geffen said: "Of course APLUS's nature is not bad. In fact, it's best to appease young people with his personality. Just coax him casually. It's too pointless to engage in emotional disputes."
"I understand, oh, I know little Edgar, he has my proud genes in his bones." The old Bronfman hit the ball into the hole, "Thank you David, I will find an opportunity to persuade him."
"Talk about strategy, don't say it's me..."
"certainly."
Old Bronfman made a zip motion over his mouth.
"Here comes Xuelin and Charis, the car is at the door, and Robb and Jon."
A few days later, old Michael opened the study door.
"Hmm..." Song Ya was sitting on the sofa with her head tilted and holding the microphone, "Where's Shakira?"
"Melissa took her shopping."
"OK, let them in."
Although Song Ya wanted to hang up the phone, her former life mentor Daniel Glass said, "Daniel, why did you call? It's been a long time..."
"I got a message that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) has decided to ban MP3 and other websites from advertising in the Grammy Awards and other related activities. Do you know why? APLUS."
Daniel skipped the pleasantries and asked straight to the point.
"I heard Ms. Sloan relay it, but I don't know the details. Oh, and considering that you are now the chair of the copyright dispute committee of the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) ... then the NARAS decision has something to do with combating online piracy, right? "Song Ya quickly judged from the other party's identity.
"You are still so smart, you don't need to waste a word of APLUS."
Daniel praised, but his tone was indifferent, "So you know why?"
"MP3. That website is a domain name preemptively registered by a company after the MP3 format. After finding out that it was profitable, the domain name holder introduced external investment and built a rough music website, but it was quickly used by some users. One of the hardest hit areas for sharing music on the internet."
Song Ya understands the industry situation very well.
"Bingo! What if I say these sites are just the first of the Big Six?" Daniel said again.
"No way?"
Song Ya immediately understood, "This is war, the same thing as our American music website, YAHOO, AOL, WEBCHAT, Infoseek and other large music communities are all doing it, we are much more restrained than MP3 websites, even American music The website and the sharing atmosphere in these similar communities are not the worst..."
"But they don't plan to go public in April." Daniel chuckled.
"I know, I know this news will hit the IPO."
It is not a big deal to be banned from advertising by traditional authoritative music media such as the Grammy Awards, but it was a big loss before the listing, "Thank you Daniel." He took a slight breath and thanked him sincerely, "You have been helping me, never All……"
The news was indeed a bit bad. He thanked him and planned to tell Sloan later.
"Daddy!"
At this time, Xue Linfen and Charis were let in by old Mike, and Robb was still as lively as before, throwing himself on his lap, "Where have you been? Haven't seen me for so long?" He questioned childishly. .
"Hey, Dad is on the phone." Song Ya asked Robb to sit on his lap with guilt, took Jon from Charis with one free hand, and kissed the two sons' little faces affectionately Each kissed, "Come on." He looked at the two girls.
The two top blond beauties are naturally very eye-catching, as soon as they enter the door, it seems that the dimly lit study room is lit up. Xue Linfen has specially dressed, so delicate that it is outrageous, and her eyes are full of affection. Charis stood near the door with a little fear and resistance, her makeup was a little stretched in contrast, her face was still sad, her eyes flickered at herself, and she immediately moved away.
"Don't talk about those useless emotional points. We have already cleared up APLUS. But I can help you delay this news until after the IPO. I am the chairman of the Copyright Dispute Committee. You know that the Internet industry has great energy. The Big Six , especially Universal Music, which is more active, can’t easily cause trouble for the stock prices of websites such as YAHOO, too many investors are staring at it.”
Daniel said.
global……
Song Ya's eyes turned cold, what's going on? No matter how you think about it, it's inexplicable! I said in my heart that I am really not a person with rebellious bones in the back of my head, but if the king wants the minister to die...then I have to fight desperately.
"Go out, go out with mom first, be good." Xue Linfen misunderstood his eyes and took Robb and Jon out of the house.
"How?" Daniel asked without waiting for a response.
"Uh...uh..."
After Xue Linfen came back, she suddenly pushed Charis, and the unsuspecting South African diamond staggered and fell into her arms, "Uh, I'm still in shock, Daniel."
Charis didn't speak, but the tall girl cuddled up to her fate like a small animal, and then Xue Linfen struggled for a few seconds, her eyes glistening with tears, and she walked slowly towards her, she never deliberately twisted The moving waist also swayed like catkins, and sat down on the other side with a variety of styles.
Although Pai Kingsley reported that Xue Linfen was threatening Charis in advance, and knew that the two would come together, but Song Ya never expected that Xue Linfen, who was never willing to participate in multiplayer games, would...
"Let me come back to you, please? I beg you, I will do APLUS for you in anything."
Xue Linfen put her hands on her shoulders, and whispered in his ear in an extremely humble and flattering manner, then gently kissed his cheek, chin, and neckline, and continued down.
It's terrible, Song Ya glanced at Charis, she was also shocked by Xue Linfen's performance at this time, she stared at the other party with wide eyes, "No, don't..." She murmured softly, as if she couldn't bear to watch to this scene.
"APLUS?" Daniel's voice came from the receiver.
"Oh, since business is business, I think what do you want in return from me?" Song Ya instantly woke up from the state of almost falling, regained control of her body, and pushed Xue Linfen away.
"Woo..."
Xuelin Fen suddenly collapsed and threw herself on the armrest of the sofa, crying.
"It's not convenient to talk on the phone." Daniel replied.
"You..." Song Ya gave Charis a wink, and asked her to persuade Xue Linfen first, and got up and sat behind the desk with the landline, "Of course, Daniel. Then you plan to..."
"An appointment time, place?"
"Okay, you decide."
"I need a middleman here, and you'd better make some preparations as well. I think everyone can be careful with each other so that you can rest assured."
"Actually, there is no need... Daniel, I am very grateful to you. Really, I can't forget what you taught me eight years ago. I still remember every word." Song Ya said sincerely.
"Come on, I just remember that day when you left my house, that last disdainful sneer in the car, APLUS, you refused to leave me with even the last bit of hypocrisy," Daniel said.
"I was too young and hot back then, and I apologize to you Daniel."
"Forget it, don't mention this."
"I'm glad we can continue to work together, really, let's do it like we did in Def Jam!"
"Well, hung up?"
"Okay, goodbye Daniel."
Song Ya put down the microphone, looked at Xue Linfen, who was still crying, and Charis, who patted her on the back lightly, hesitated to speak, and didn't know how to persuade her.
He sighed, hung up the phone to Sloan and explained the situation briefly, and managed his emotions slowly before walking over.
"I……"
Charis looked up, pitifully.
"I know, needless to say."
Song Ya stepped aside to get out of the way, "You can leave Charis, I'm sorry for making you run."
As if being pardoned, Charis stood up and took a few steps towards the door, seeming to feel that this was not good again, "Thank you, APLUS." She said softly.
"No, do you still remember the time when you hid in the acting classroom and eavesdropped on what I said to Amy?" Song Ya asked.
"I remember." Charis bit her lip and recalled: "You asked Amy to fight for every role, every opportunity, to force, to design, to frame... to pay a hundred and twenty points for success, Use everything to the extreme, give up those innocence and purity, and grow up... I remember every word, and it pointed out the direction for my life."
"Well, you are more suitable for Hollywood Charis than Amy. You really achieved what you are today by yourself. You gave up the role I gave you and played the devil's advocate. I..."
In the past few years, my heart has been closed for a long time. Song Ya was a little uncomfortable with the truth for a while, and rubbed her temples with her index finger, "How should I put it, the more I know about Hollywood, the more I feel that I am not a bad person, except for being a little playful." , What do you think? I guess you have a deep understanding of Hollywood in the past two years, right?"
"Of course, you're nice...really nice..." Charis replied, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Well, that's enough, I'm glad you see me that way."
Song Ya reached out and pinched her face, "Let's go, live the life you like, don't be tied up by scumbags anymore."
Charis burst into tears and laughed, "Well. Then I... leave?"
"Stop dawdling, you know my willpower is not very strong." Song Ya made a stage gesture of 'please'.
Charis gratefully took the initiative to hold his face and kissed him, then looked back at Xue Linfen, and ran out of the study.
"well!"
Song Ya looked at the back of the South African diamond leaving, and closed the door with a little melancholy, "Xuelin...Xuelin." He sat next to Xuelinfen, and sighed, "You imagined Charis too much. Stupid..."
"sorry Sorry sorry!"
Xue Linfen immediately turned around and put her arms around his neck, apologizing frantically, "I can't live without you, I love you, I can't live without you APLUS, I know I'm not smart but I don't want to lose you. I know I'm old... ..."
"you are young……"
She's still effervescently beautiful, and besides, even the Governor's wife herself is... eh? Where was she thinking, Song Ya hugged Xue Linfen, who was arching her arms straight into her arms, her temples were scattered and tears were pouring down like rain, "But how should I get along with you in the future... Xuelin Xuelin, if something happens, I will never get along with you." will be forgotten."
"I am willing to do anything for you, I love you, you can get along with me however you want, I just ask you not to be so cruel and cold..."
Xue Linfen begged: "I know I'm not as smart as Charis, I can't help it... I can't forget the time I spent with you before, and I can't forget that you took care of me when I was in the most difficult and helpless time, and sent my favorite Beggar, let’s talk about the Hanshan Poetry in it together...If the king’s heart is like mine, I still get it. Even if I know you are very hardworking, but I am in it, I don’t want to come out, I like the life of being taken care of by you, I also like being chased and complimented in Hollywood, I admit that I am not such a bland, poetic, indifferent woman who is deliberately presented in front of you, I just stay by your side, I like it I like being a producer , I really, really like the feeling of being in control of a whole crew, being envied by everyone and secretly jealous..."
Maybe it was because she thought that if she missed this time, she would never have another chance, or maybe she was really sinking completely. She said everything she wanted to say, and the speed of her words became faster and faster, "Forgive me APLUS, please, please, we Got two kids, so cute...don't do this to me now, I promise I won't make the mistake of last year, I... I don't know how to put it, but I really didn't mean it.. Goodman they lied Killed me... I was so scared, your brothers Tony and Connie threatened to throw me out of here again, they called me, shook their fists at me, threw things, I was so angry... I called my relatives..."
"APLUS? Honey?" As she spoke, she found that Song Ya covered her eyes with her trembling hands, her face twisted as if she was enduring some pain, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to call a doctor?"
"Need not."
Song Ya pushed her hand away from touching her face, but this action caused Xue Linfen, who was already very sensitive, to misunderstand, "Woo..." She cried again and fell down on the sofa.
"For the last time, Xuelin, you will not be allowed to make any decisions on your own in the future, even if you think it is out of good intentions."
"Well! I'll never again..."
Song Ya didn't care about her anymore, scratched her head and walked over to pick up the phone, "Eremov, I remember... last year's best-selling novel was called 'Cold Mountain'?"
"Yes, I just won the Sue Kaufman Award for my debut novel from the Academy of Arts and Letters and the Book of the Year Award from the American Booksellers Association. The year before last, it was only ranked in the top ten last year." Yeremov replied.
"Find a way to get the film adaptation rights?" Song Ya asked.
Xue Linfen stopped crying immediately, her eyes widened in a jerk.
"It's a southern-style novel about the Civil War. Is it...not suitable for us to shoot?" Yeremov asked. "And there are many descriptions of war scenes. Adapting it... can't be cheap."
"It doesn't matter. Once you get the right to adapt, set up the project as soon as possible and let Xue Linfen start work." Song Ya looked her straight in the eyes and ordered Yeremov on the phone, "She likes Hanshan poems."
