Chapter 126 Big Mouth

"I heard that Eddie Murphy's new movie has a total investment of more than 40 million dollars, and it uses an all-black crew." Song Ya responded.

"He was just doing it for business. If he doesn't invite black people to participate, he will pass away."

Spike Lee was very disdainful: "I hate that kind of gag clown performance. A good movie should focus on social issues."

"I bought the most expensive package ticket to Madison Square Garden in 1988 and sat on the sidelines. At that time, my income was not a fraction of Nicholson's, but I bought it anyway. I just want to go as much as I can. Let the world take a good look, black people can not only play on the court, but also have money to watch it off the court. In Hollywood, I also want to prove that black people can not only play clowns or whatever, but also direct and win awards, and get all over the world affim……"

"Playing and singing, black people did it very well hundreds of years ago. The old jazz stars who are now promoted to the sky used to be nothing more than for white people to listen to the sound when they are drinking, and they have nothing to do with those black waiters and servants. The essential difference. The situation is better now, but that’s all there is to it. Many singers pay back all the money they earn to white people within a few years. What about investing in Hollywood? Mc Hammer lost all the tens of millions he earned last year In California, and then? Yes, Hollywood is blowing him like crazy, but what is that for? It's nothing more than trying to get him to spend more money in it. I bet he's going to be bankrupt in a few years, and Hollywood people will turn around and mock and ridicule him like crazy, and incidentally add to the stereotype that black people can't keep their wealth."

"Boy, keep your feet on the ground and watch your wallet. This is the advice of a senior."

Spike Lee is a frequent guest on news and political commentary programs. He is very talkative, has a very fast response, and is not forgiving. Although he is only in his thirties, he seems to have no intention of discussing something deep with a sixteen-year-old singer. As for the problem of hierarchy, Song Ya invited him to dinner because she wanted to know more about Hollywood, but unexpectedly she was educated a lot.

"I've been taught, thank you, Spike." What else could Song Ya say, "When is your movie released? I will watch it as soon as possible."

"Although this man speaks the truth, he is too self-important, as if he is the only one with a clear mind among all the black people in Hollywood..."

The next day, everyone was resting at the a+ record, and Song Ya complained to Hayden.

"He is indeed the most successful black director in history, especially in terms of film awards. He has won Oscar nominations and Cannes Palme d'Or nominations. Many white directors will never be able to achieve this achievement in their lifetime. This year's film Very likely to win an award at Cannes."

Hayden said with a smile: "Europeans like this kind of film that reflects the dark side of other countries' society, and this is indeed a viable path. First participate in the film festival to win awards, and then use the momentum to sell tickets.

His movies may not be enjoyable, but he never lost money. "

That's true, Song Ya has lost interest in Spike Lee. This kind of movie can make money, but not big money, and as a small investor, he can't get big money.

"Then what should I do now? The money in my hand has to go somewhere."

After the song remember the name became popular, in addition to the 2 million earned by a+ Records from various authorizations and commercial soundtracks last time, Sony Columbia's i feel it ing single million sales share will soon be settled.

"What are your plans?" Hayden looked at Song Ya's office, "Do you need to change a place? Isn't this place too small?"

"It's indeed a bit small, but it's still usable, em...the recording studio equipment can be upgraded again, but that's only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. After all, it has already been upgraded last time, using the First Bank of New Jersey. That one million loan will do.”

Before completing the first album contract with Sony Columbia, Song Ya does not plan to move, and the big a is very important to him now, and the company can easily maintain the relationship here.

"What about the house you live in? It's time for you to buy a big house." Hayden said, "You can even get one in Chicago and New York, at least it should be worthy of your coffee position. The last time you met with Mrs. Jovovich Do you remember the conversation?"

"By the way, what did she say about me later?" Song Ya remembered that Hayden was also there outside the dance classroom that day, and then they left with Mrs. Jovovich.

"The stereotype of black celebrities in society is that after becoming famous, they will spend money recklessly. Although investing in real estate is also a manifestation of spending money recklessly, it is still a very safe investment method. Owning real estate will make the outside world think about your economic strength. Be more confident, with Mrs. Jovovich’s knowledge, if you didn’t buy a house, it means you can’t afford it. If you can’t afford it, it means you are wasting money. If you are wasting money, then you are definitely not worthy of Mira. A perfect chain of logic." Hayden laughed.

"She still has the nerve to think that I'm wasting money?" Song Ya curled her lips, "His couple are the ones who are spending money indiscriminately. All the money Mira made before was lost by them. By the way, you and William Morris Have you reported the affair between Mrs. Jovovich and Mira's agent?"

"No."

Hayden smiled wryly, "A broker's ability to deal with a client's family is often considered a skill, and the company's top management won't use any tricks! Isn't it a bonus for him to report it?"

"Uh... alright."

Song Ya thought about it, and it was indeed time to buy a big house. After the recording of the trumpet song, he had already prepared five songs for the first album, and the first capital was a strong single. Generally, b-list singers would enter it casually. Throw in five more mediocre songs in a similar style, and that album is already done. The place where Aunt Susie and the others live is still rented, and it is indeed not worthy of their coffee place, besides, there are safety issues.

"If you buy it in Chicago, it will be at least the kind of villa in Little Lowry. After you buy it, you have to hire someone to look after it. I have to think carefully. In New York... I asked you to ask about the house in Tribeca. ?” Song Ya asked him, although you can’t believe everything sung by rappers, but you can’t believe it, it’s always right to investigate first.

"The location over there is good, very close to Chinatown, Wall Street, and the World Trade Center, but the houses are all old-fashioned apartments, places where white-collar and even blue-collar workers like to rent, and the security is average. It's okay to invest there, and it's not recommended to live there. Why not buy the Upper West Side? Little Lowry also bought there, and it is estimated that Mrs. Jovovich will also choose to buy a house there. Wouldn’t it be better for you to live closer to Mira in the future?”

"Little Lori..." What's the good of living close to Mira, Song Ya's family knows about her family affairs, so she had to use little Lori as a cover, "I get a headache when I hear his name now."

Soon he really had a headache, and the New York media interviewed Spike Lee, who had just returned to New York.

"Of course, I still think the Knicks still have a chance."

"Although I support the Knicks, I don't hate Jordan, he is a great player..."

"Well, after watching the game, I got together with my local friends, aplus, have you heard of him? A popular singer recently, he is from Chicago."

"How should I put it, that kid is a boring person. I thought we would have a common language in art, but he ended up talking about money all night."

"fxxk!" Song Ya turned off the TV angrily, "This big mouth!"
