Chapter 1289
Text Chapter 1289: Big Boss Behind the Scenes
"Russell seems to have had an accident. He was caught drinking and driving in Washington. He was drunk and reported himself as a federal congressman to try to accommodate the police. There was a woman in the passenger seat who was suspected of dealing in flesh and blood..."
In March, when Song Ya and Mariah Carey were about to leave for Los Angeles, they received a call from Ms. Sloan, "The local newspaper has revealed it and published a photo of him leaving the police station."
"I told Underwood a long time ago that the money spent on that alcoholic will be in vain sooner or later." Song Ya complained, "Then Russell needs to resign and apologize?"
"Not necessarily. Underwood should take care of him. Now the real estate projects in his constituency are in a critical period." Sloan replied.
"The unlucky former Mr. Party Whip, his teeth would get stuck in cold water."
It's none of my business, Song Ya didn't take it too seriously, "It's a good thing I haven't been in the same frame with that drunkard, please pay attention, don't let the media release photos of me and him together."
"Okay, are you going straight from Los Angeles to France?" Sloan asked.
"Yeah, maybe hide in Europe for a while, and come back after Daly Jr.'s re-election campaign in April haha... am I smart?"
"Little clever, it is rumored that Daly will show his strength to the outside world this time. Bulls and White Sox owner Reinsdorf, Playboy magazine owner Hefner, the head of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and a large number of multinational The leaders of the company will appear on the scene, of course, some Chicago politicians who stand in line, and even the couple of the chief executive may also come.”
Sloan said: "Our governor is already in danger, Kozko is still out on bail, and the businessman he used to balance Daly Jr. has been taken out."
"The strength is still poor..."
"Daly Jr. is nervous this time," Sloan reminded. "I think he's going to care. Peter ... is going to have a hard time getting through and maybe going in the footsteps of some of the former governors of Illinois, which has historically been a tough job. Neither he nor Kozko would stand up to the magnifying glass of law enforcement, and no one in Chicago knows that."
"I remember you always advised me to keep a distance from Jin." Song Ya said with a smile: "It's okay, the relationship between me and Peter is very clear to Daly, and he should be able to understand a little loyalty to each other."
"Honey?"
The ex-wife was already standing by the car and urged, "Put it here." At the same time, the supervising assistants were carrying the luggage. In the past two months, her high-intensity weight loss and dance practice in Chicago have achieved remarkable results. Of course, the gifts are not less profitable. Big bag small bag.
"Here we come." Song Ya agreed.
"It's time to prepare for the post-Peter era," Sloan said.
"Underwood, now it's Peter again, I'm worried that little Daly will be won over by the Global Seagram Group, last year the rich three generations targeted congressmen who are close to me, this year it may be the turn to win over the mayor of Chicago .” Song Ya said.
"There is no need to worry too much about this. As long as Daly Jr. needs black votes in Chicago, he will not be stupid enough to make an enemy of you, and the series of behaviors of Bronfman Jr. last year, including openly admitting at the dinner that he funded Ann Derwood's opponents ... have some fouls."
Sloan reassured: "The politicians will not like him either."
"Um."
Indeed, through Doug during this time, Song Ya has officially formed an Avengers alliance with Underwood, and he finally survived until Underwood took the initiative, which means that Underwood must first make some achievements 'Come on, he's waiting, Underwood didn't reveal too much, but it's obvious that the most important event for the Bronfman family this year is the IPO, and smart people will pick on this weakness.
Underwood is undoubtedly a smart man, but for the time being, he must first find a way to keep Drunk Russell's position as a federal representative and help him get out of the scandal.
"Hmm..."
The ex-wife's private plane arrived in Los Angeles. Before leaving the cabin, she was in a good mood, Bi Bibi obviously narrowed her waist, and then hummed a song to hold her little ex-husband down the boarding ladder.
"Are you really not asking for a front row seat from the Oscar organizing committee?" she asked.
"No, that night belongs to you and Whitney."
She and Whitney Houston will sing the theme song of the Prince of Egypt when you believe at the Oscars. That song was also nominated for the Best Original Song Award. Ci, Song Ya also helped with public relations.
Another good thing is that in the film industry, the theme song of the Titanic, My Heart Is Eternal, has already been harvested during the awards season last year, and in the music circle, because Celine Dion's album containing My Heart Is Eternal came out to compete for awards in this year's awards season, when you believe will be much weaker.
So the conclusion is that when you believe you only have a better chance of winning in the music awards in the film industry.
Due to the poor relationship with the five major record companies, Song Ya's own influence in the awards season is now greater in the film circle than in the music circle.
Of course, the black mainstream Soul Train music award is not included.

This is also the reason why Song Ya came to Los Angeles together. He has to personally supervise the battle behind the scenes, so that he can no longer let his loyal younger brother Jazzy down at the Soul Train Music Awards, and it also involves the deal with Gotti, so as to prevent the Grammy The unexpected happened again.
Because Gotti always thought that the original intention of his transaction was nothing more than to get revenge on Def Jam President Lyle Cohen, who had proposed to merge a+ records. Lyle Cohen agitated to stay in def jam and not follow him to Murder Records singer dmx.
"Dmx, the traitor, don't even want to win an award!" Gotti said publicly in New York, "I treated him so well, I created him, but he betrayed me! He will know who he can't blame! "
These wild words were scoffed at by Lyle Cohen, New York gangster rap circles, and dmx himself. Dmx's new album it's dark and hell is hot sold very well, and the sales volume completely suppressed Jazzy and others in the same niche. The industry predicted that it would probably hit five. Platinum, this is an extremely rare achievement among gangster rappers.
The soul train music award is only awarded to black musicians, the competition pressure is much less, and dmx has no award? It's so funny.
But Gotti was never funny, he knew who was behind the scenes helping him.
Song Ya fulfilled his wild words, the first phase of the transaction ended, and then he would hand over the remaining secret documents of def jam, and Song Ya helped him suppress Puff Daddy in New York to complete the second phase.
Two things that happen to work together, helping jazzy get the award and getting rid of the dmx award, "Hey Quincy, how are you doing?"
The ex-wife is a party animal, and she started calling friends as soon as she moved into the Malibu beach house. The two cooperated tacitly. Not in the past, "Is Rashida going well in Harvard? When will you graduate?"
"snort!"
Quincy Jones, who was mentioned as her favorite daughter, was furious, but there was no way, who said that the caring little padded jacket was already in the shape of the scumbag in front of him? He glanced at Mariah Carey who was laughing arm in arm with Whitney Houston in the distance, and replied angrily, "You don't deserve to mention her."
"Okay? Rashida often talks to me on the phone." Song Ya smiled and deliberately angered him.
Quincy Jones is completely at a loss for the young black light in front of him, especially after witnessing him at a dinner party last year arguing about the Internet bill on the issue of abusing Bronfman, he has no idea of confrontation at all. She rolled her eyes and wanted to walk away, but she couldn't afford to hide.
"Oh, by the way, congratulations on your jive records achieving good results, teenage pop ah? Everyone has lost their eyes on this genre, what can you teach me? Linda also wants to try to support some of these groups."
Song Ya winked at Linda and Hayden, and called the two men over.
"None of my business!"
Quincy Jones replied impatiently.
The corners of Song Ya's mouth curled up, knowing that this old guy's current business is partly in Jive Records, and partly in Warner's Q Records Company. Q Records Company was founded by him. Due to the part-time nature of the production, he undoubtedly invested more energy in Q Records and benefited more.
After the teen pop was launched by jive and became popular, all the young white singers rose up, such as Backstreet Boys, Super Boys, Britney, etc., and the producers were all Max Martin, who could not make much money from it.
So again, just like the reasons for falling out with MJ, falling out with himself, and falling out with Will Smith in the past, the old guy started to have red eyes again, shouting and transforming to promote the teenage pop style, it was his high-level meeting in jive Jive should give him more money and honors that he deserved.
Jive Records is in a critical period of rapid rise, so naturally it will not be used to this unstable factor, so... Quincy Jones has been tossing around because of pink eyes and a big mouth to get nothing.
"Hahaha……"
Song Ya, Linda and the others laughed, "Oh, yes, you know Jazzy? Jazzy!" jazzy.
"Of course." Quincy Jones clinked glasses with Jazzy and others.
"Okay, let's talk first."
Song Ya gave Linda and Hayden a wink, and it was their task to get Quincy Jones done. If it couldn't work, they had to do it themselves.
At worst, let Rashida call to influence Dad and take the forest route, he secretly planned in his heart.
"Boss, the Cold Mountain project may require an additional 10 million production costs."
Yeremov was already waiting with the documents in his arms. He showed photos of costumes, guns, and flags during the Civil War that had been produced, as well as the construction drawings of Ireland, Canada and other places, as well as specific accounts. "The construction period has been delayed."
"emmm..."
Song Ya took a deep breath and checked carefully.
"Hey, aplus."
Damon Dash, who likes to appear suddenly, poked his head at the door again, "Do you have time for a chat?"
"If it's about the wine business again..."
This guy has been complaining since he didn't get the New York dealership, always complaining, Song Ya shook his head, and now he has no time to listen to him.
"No, not this time."
Damon Dash dodged Yeremov who wanted to block the door and walked in, "Hehe, it's for Aaliyah."
"What happened to Aaliyah?"
Aaliyah is currently the most popular young rhythm and blues female singer. She followed r Kelly before she was an adult and is also one of the top artists on jive records.
"Her contract is about to expire, and she wants to leave Jive, get rid of R Kelly." Damon Dash said: "Go to New York."
"That's a matter between their boyfriend and girlfriend." Song Ya raised his eyelids and glanced at the kid, "What does it have to do with you?"
"I want to help, r Kelly is a jerk, what he does in private is disgusting." Damon Dash said: "And I found out that I fell in love with Aaliyah, I wanted to help."
Aaliyah is very beautiful, but there is a huge disparity in status between him and Jazzy, is it like a toad wants to eat swan meat? Song Ya smiled when she heard the words, everyone in Kelly's love circle knew it, but who has the right to look down on anyone in this matter? Now is not the time for extra problems, R Kelly is Jive's rhythm and blues king, "R Kelly and I have a good relationship dame, we just played the Jordan Retirement All-Star Game together not long ago, didn't you watch it?"
"I watched it, but r Kelly he..." Damon Dash hesitated to speak.
"This..." Yeremov watched his words and chased away.
"You have to help me aplus, for Aaliyah, forget about the wine." Seeing being pushed out of the door, Damon Dash shouted.
What do you mean, you still remember the grudge, right? "I don't think I owe you anything. Before you met me, you were just a gangster on the streets of Brooklyn." Song Ya replied coldly.
"Ha! Jazzy and I followed you, but got nothing at the Grammys! You offended the top five, and we are also unlucky in awards season!"
Damon Dash seemed to be drinking a little too much, yelling regardless.
"Hehe, I'm here, so I won't." Song Ya waved his hand like chasing a fly, telling Yeremov to lock him out.
The next day, at the Holy Auditorium in Los Angeles, where the Grammys are held, Damon Dash and Jazzy, both dressed up, sat in the front row.
The gold content of this kind of award is not as far away as the Grammy, but they don't want to leave empty-handed during the awards season, only this is left.
Jazzy greeted Irv Gotti not far away, and on the other side of the clear line, dmx, Puff Daddy and others gathered together.
After Biggie's death, Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Records not only hyped up Biggie's short but glorious history and sold posthumous works, but the remaining accomplished singers were Puff Daddy himself and Biggie's widow Faith Evans, whether it was rapping or singing , the abilities of both of them are not up to the first-tier level, and Bad Boys' records are seriously hollowed out. If it weren't for Pladdy's excellent business acumen, he would have lost his position as the number one East Coast hip-hop label.
Those who are capable live, Jazzy and Gotti both have ambitions to kill him, and the relationship between the two parties is getting worse and worse.
Jazzy and the big brother's bragging daddy looked at each other, they turned their faces away at the same time, Gotti sneered at dmx, dmx is also a real gangster on the street, and he came with a big-selling album, whoever is afraid of whom, immediately He gave him a confident look of disdain.
"Aplus didn't come? That guy... I don't think he can do it yet!"
Apart from secretly flirting with Aaliyah who was beside R Kelly, Damon Dash just looked around and didn't see aplus, so he started whining and complaining, "Linda isn't here either..."
"Didn't Aplus personally agree to us? In Malibu." Biggs retorted without thinking so much.
"Hehe, he also agreed to the Grammy." Damon Dash replied.
"Don't talk about this, okay?" the president of Metropolitan Records who led the team warned in a dilemma, and did not dare to reprimand directly.
Jazzy listened silently, his first nomination was shortly after the awards ceremony started, he reached for the award speech in his pocket, pinched the small piece of paper and rubbed it gently, to cover up his emotions of worrying about gains and losses.
"best rap album, nominated for: hard knock life vol 2 from jazzy, it's dark and hell is hot from dmx..."
The award presenter r Kelly began to read out the nominations. Jazzy glanced at dmx and found that the other party was also looking at him. The two did not have a big enmity. In fact, if it wasn't for Gotti's relationship, the two sides had a good friendship before.
"The winner is: Hard Knock Life Vol 2! Congratulations Jazzy!" r Kelly shouted.
The background music played, and Jazzy also dressed in a suit like a big guy, hugged Damon Dash and others, and went to the stage to accept the award.
When he was reading his acceptance speech, he saw Gotti in the audience triumphantly making a throat-cutting gesture to dmx, and dmx was angry and angry, and returned the middle finger.
"Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, nominated for: jazzy, dmx..."
"The winner is: jazzy! Congratulations!"
"Best duo or group rap cooperation award...money ain't a thang! Congratulations to jermaine dupri, and jazzy!"
"Huh!" Jazzy felt completely relaxed, jumped up and hugged his friend Jermaine Dupri, and patted his back to celebrate. In this song, he was just helping his friend sing feat.
"Hahaha!" Gotti also laughed and came over to hug, congratulate, he was overjoyed, and after sitting back, he didn't forget to make a shot gesture to dmx to make up the knife.
It was also the third time to accept the award on stage with Jermaine Dupri. He found that dmx was so angry in the audience that his facial features were distorted, and his eyes were so red that he seemed to eat people...
"This dmx guy will definitely make trouble when he returns to New York." Linda, who was watching the live broadcast at the Malibu beach house, also saw this scene and said worriedly.
"It's none of our business."
Song Ya commented coldly and asked, "Have I fulfilled all my promises?"
"Yes, we did it all. Jazzy won all the nominations, and DMX won zero." Linda replied.
"Well." Song Ya no longer cared about the award, nodded and left in front of the TV.
