Chapter 471 Justins the Poetry Writer

Celebrities and their families are the most difficult interpersonal relationships to deal with. Although the concept of family in the United States is weaker than that in China, it is caused by the development of industrial society. The core of its religious culture also attaches great importance to family, and the mainstream people also prefer family fun. A star who is in harmony, falling out with his family is an absolute deduction for people, especially for money.

Don't look at the gossip media that likes to talk about the grievances of wealthy families and the conflicts between celebrities and their families, but the reason why news becomes news is precisely because it is different from ordinary people's lives and satisfies the voyeurism of certain groups of people towards celebrities.

The parents of child star Macaulay Kim are typical examples of greedy and greedy sons. His father asked his son to stop acting to blackmail Fox Films some time ago, and was denounced by the seven major film companies as a watchdog of hell. The behavior was soon exposed, and the career of this child star, who has been a box office guarantee since he was a kid, was suddenly hit hard. In fact, he is only twelve or thirteen years old this year, and it is not his fault at all, but he will still be unlucky with those wonderful 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 has a good temperament, an opera soprano, and a white Irishman. She was kicked out of the house by her family because she married Mariah Carey's black father despite her family's opposition. Her father was considered good among blacks, had a formal job as an engineer, and had been honest for several years after marriage, but he and her mother still ended up divorced. Back then, her mother, who did not hesitate to break up her family, could only wander in New York with her two children. The opera market had been in a recession for decades, and her job was one and the same. The lonely and helpless single mother brought her two children. New York is tough.

She is not like Aunt Susie, the serious urban slums in her hometown in Chicago, where the government and private charity and welfare organizations gather together, and the residents have long developed a set of living experience that is proficient in relying on various welfares, while hers A good girl from a middle-class family, she has a job and cannot even receive a single mother's allowance. At the most difficult time, she was kicked out by the landlord and sneaked into the laundromat with her siblings to spend the night.

All this didn't improve until she became the female chief of the troupe, and the family moved into a good community and lived a stable middle-class life.

Mariah Carey's brother Morgan is a tall, thin and handsome young man, five years older than her, with European looks and darker skin. He has worked as a male model and played in a band, but unfortunately he has not been very successful. He is partly responsible for Mariah Carey's fame. Back then, he introduced his sister to Brenda Starr, a female singer he knew well, as a backup singer. Mariah Carey was able to be noticed by the record industry in New York, during which she also sponsored her sister.

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

As long as Song Ya wants to please deliberately, she will definitely make the person she is talking to feel comfortable. Morgan chatted about his sister's old embarrassment in a relaxed manner with a cigarette in his hand, and was immediately slapped on the arm by Mariah Carey, "Hey , don't talk about this, okay?"

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

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

"Yeah, she's singing it all the time, and she's singing it when the waitresses are serving tea," Morgan said with a laugh.

"That's why mimi can achieve what she is today, isn't it?" Song Ya complimented.

"The best," she added triumphantly.

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

This is because the mother-in-law has the right eyes. In any culture where the parents of both parties meet, it is a sign of marriage consideration. "Anytime." 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 a small croissant in the bread basket.

"Cough." Immediately coughed severely, not allowed to eat.

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

"

Her mother and brother both laughed.

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

"What's wrong with Brenda?" Song Ya didn't know the nobleman on Mariah Carey Diva Road at all. She only knew that the other party was well-known in New York in the 1980s, and seemed to be singing rhythm and blues.

"She is in a bad situation 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 were poor and Motura was very domineering, and my sister was not allowed to hang out with her former friends."

"Why?" Song Ya asked,

"Who knows, people like Motura can't explain to Mimi." Morgan replied, "We don't dare to ask."

"In this comparison, does she have an affair with Mimi?"

Song Yadai thought about it from Brenda's point of view. The former accompaniment singer has now become a diva, and he has become more and more miserable. The life gap between the singer's popularity and his non-popularity is very large. In this case, it is difficult to ensure psychological balance.

"Maybe? But Mimi doesn't know much about these ways of the world, and Motura took care of her social circle before. As far as I am concerned, I really want to repay Brenda. After all, I was the one who introduced Mimi to follow her..." Morgan said.

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

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

"No, my record company is very small, and I can't afford to support idlers. It's just an audition." Song Ya hurriedly vaccinated, dancing the soundtrack of my life is too important to me, and I can't say too much about it. .

"Honey..." Maria poked her head out of the back seat of her new Lincoln limousine, "Hurry up, the movie is about to begin."

The two planned to sneak together after dinner to see a movie starring Janet Jackson and 2pac, Justins, who wrote poetry.

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

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

This car is nearly ten meters long, and all the windows are so that the outside cannot see the inside, and the small window is lowered to form a very private space.

"I just had dinner..." Before Song Ya finished speaking, she had already rushed forward.

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

She planned dreamily as the pair walked into a local movie theater with minimal make-up.

"No problem." Song Ya, who had just received the record income settlement, was very confident.

The two walked into the already reserved screening room, the old Mike and other bodyguards guarding the aisle, Linda and her female assistant sat in the last row, and the two sat snuggled up in the best middle position.

At the beginning of the movie, Song Ya, who had already entered Hollywood, concentrated on watching it.

Director John Singleton continued the style of his debut block boy. The 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 block boy. , making the film much more realistic.

The soundtrack of the film is also very good. In addition to Janet Jackson's own songs, she also gathered black singers such as tlc, babyface, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wanda, and rookies such as Usher. The original soundtrack has been released. Released on Epic Records under Sony Columbia Records, Janet Jackson's songs were not included on the soundtrack because she was signed to EMI-owned Virgin Records.

The movie itself is also distributed by Columbia Pictures, and it seems that her brother MJ helped a lot in it.

But...that's it, this movie can't be compared with the boys on the block in any other respects, it is essentially a romance movie to set off Janet Jackson's personal, the plot is average, and the acting is also. 2pac and other black actors are quite satisfactory. Janet 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 views, which makes the rhythm and expressiveness of the film even greater. question.

There is no spark between 2pac and Jenny. According to 2pac's complaint, the relationship between the two parties in reality has also been frozen because of this movie. Heard that the character was supposed to ask Eskuber, but he turned it down, that cunning guy.

"This movie isn't going to be a hit, is it?"

Mariah Carey asked near the end of the movie. The competitive psychology between diva and diva is very heavy, especially after Whitney Houston got a triple harvest of box office, word of mouth and records with a bodyguard.

"probably not."

Song Ya is still a little confident in her own judgment. There is a reason why Hollywood likes to criticize movies starring singers. Due to the strong status of singers and the large amount of money in pursuit of amphibious success, singers will have too much say in film production. High, this movie makes a lot of those mistakes.

The plots and close-ups of singers are unnecessary and compress the enjoyment of the story, and the performances of singers are usually mediocre. In addition, they are always in the situation of being brainlessly praised and maintained by people around them and fans. Singers are often particularly prone to fall into self Intoxicated, unable to objectively view the criticism and ridicule from the outside world, and turned to despair.

And the more angry you are, the hot Hollywood media will like to stimulate you. If you don't handle it well, you will fall into a negative cycle and hit your own popularity. Madonna's early films exemplify this cycle, becoming regulars at the Razzies.

These are all minefields that I have to avoid, Song Ya secretly reflected, he must not repeat the same mistakes in my life in "Dancing Out of Me".

His answer made Mariah Carey secretly happy, "When will I shoot my script." She asked.

"Uh, let's polish the script first." Song Ya rubbed her nose perfunctorily.

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

"Yeah?"

Song Ya took the phone, "Aplus?" A man's voice came from the phone.

"I am."

"A woman who is under surveillance by the FBI has requested to speak to you, and your conversation will be recorded," the man said.
