Chapter 519 Malibu

"I know you're upset, but you can't take it out on Daniel, in front of so many people!"

The next afternoon, the two showed up at David Geffen's beach house in Malibu for a big party. Since the AMA awards ceremony last night, the two have had occasional friction. Mariah Carey I lost to Whitney Houston in all... All awards, I was in a bad mood, "There is nothing to complain about losing to Whitney, that song was sung too well, and the results were too good..."

Just talked about this matter, and quarreled again, Song Ya said: "The longest consecutive number of weeks on the single chart, single sales, movie soundtrack sales... Wait, wait, that song is still related to your WithoutYou Same, it’s a cover song. Your music box album was only released at the end of last year, so there’s also a time disadvantage…”

"Can you stop nagging?"

She interrupted impatiently, "I'm not jealous of Whitney. I have a good relationship with her. It's just that Daniel promised me at least one heavyweight award. The result? Nothing, I don't think I'm complaining." What's wrong with his words!"

"But don't be in front of so many internal executives." Song Ya said, "I told you before."

"I know in my heart that no one will care if the female singer loses her temper with the executives, and it is more effective than saying it in private. Daniel must realize the gap between him and Motura."

She shook off the hand holding Song Ya's arm and quickened her pace, "If you can't do it, don't make random promises. I also specially prepared an expensive evening dress for the stage to accept the award."

"Where are you going?"

"Not going anywhere!"

She stopped in front of a famous painting on the wall, pouted her mouth and looked back at herself, then swung her long hair arrogantly and turned her head away.

"Let's not talk about that." Song Ya walked to her side and put her arms around her waist.

"It's you who have been nagging..."

"Sorry, I'm also in a bad mood." As a man, he must admit his mistake in the end.

"What were you talking to Mr. Geffen about?" she asked.

"A business matter..."

David Geffen is very dissatisfied with the listing progress of DTS. He wants to find Wall Street to enter the market this year, and then go public by the end of 1995 at the latest, but he and Spielberg want to wait for DTS and Interview with the Vampire to use DTS After the release of the second batch of films with surround sound technology, the two groups of people chatted unhappily.

But Song Ya’s displeasure is not because of this. He has a lot of cash and he can’t find a good project investment for the time being. In addition, he feels that Mariah Carey is spending more and more money. Recently, in Hollywood, I can’t stop hearing people talking about Madoff, chairman of the Nasdaq Exchange, has a fund project with a very good rate of return. It happens that David Geffen and Spielberg have a good relationship with Madoff, so they want to find a way to invest their money first. It's better than saving in the bank to earn meager interest, but I didn't expect to be rejected by them with tactful and slight contempt.

"Can you tell me?" Mariah Carey asked.

"Those Jews don't take us to play."

He looked around carefully, and then said in a low voice.

Those Jewish people have their own way of playing. They don’t even invest money whenever they want. I heard that if you want to join the fund owned by Madoff to get high returns, you have to join some Palm Beach country club or golf club, etc. , the number of members is fixed and dead, and only after one of them can be supplemented by newcomers who have been selected, a full-fledged secret society gameplay.

The Jewish people are still in charge of the Federal Reserve. Chairman Alan Greenspan, the old man who is called the real leader of the United States behind his back, just suddenly raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, which immediately shocked the global financial market.

"Hmph, it's not surprising." She agreed, "That group of people never show it publicly, but the reality is that there is an invisible wall."

"Yeah." Song Ya nodded, and wanted to say something, but she gently stabbed her in the ribs and stopped in time.

"It's beautiful..."

Actors Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow walked over together, also admiring the painting they were staring at,

The two handsome men and beautiful women seemed to hook up, and their bodies were very close.

"APLUS, Miss Kelly..."

"Hey, Pete, Miss Paltrow." The four people who got together greeted each other and complimented each other.

"Ivana Chubbock is teaching you too, isn't she?" the dashing Brad Pitt chatted up. "I've seen girls over there arguing about you."

"Girls?" Mariah Carey sounded alarmed.

"Yes, she's very professional, how about you? I've never seen you at Ivana's." Song Ya changed the topic with a smile.

"I was filming Interview with the Vampire, and that scene was too tortured." Brad Pitt complained, "The filming period lasted for half a year, and I couldn't do anything."

"Wow, I'm going to report to David that you're complaining about him."

Gwyneth Paltrow is Spielberg's goddaughter, and David Geffen also takes good care of her, "Don't..." Brad Pitt smiled nervously.

"I'm going to..."

"Okay, what are your conditions?" The two flirted flirtatiously.

Song Ya and Mariah Carey rolled their eyes at the same time, and walked away silently, "These paintings are very valuable, aren't they?" she asked.

"Mr. Geffen is a big player in the field of art investment." Song Ya replied.

Unlike Hollywood stars who are always taken advantage of in the field of art, bigwigs like David Geffen can be regarded as half-manipulators. They buy paintings and match them with the Hollywood stars or artists who have owned them on the packaging of the auction company. The legendary story, and then there will naturally be the next family to take over, such as the richest man in the book, the oil mogul in the Middle East, and the upstart in the US technology industry. I heard that some actors will also buy some flattery in order to get a good role. It's a big, lucrative business.

"Let's just take a look." He was afraid that his impulsive and consuming girlfriend would foolishly take over the offer.

"I don't understand anyway." Fortunately, she lacks interest in this field.

David Geffen's party is famous for its handsome men, beautiful women and indulgence, but today's party is very serious. In addition to those young walking hormones, there are also many middle-aged and elderly white people, many of whom are Oscar judges. He is helping Spielberg The movie "Schindler's List" canvassed votes, and by the way, gave myself impression points for Interview with the Vampire, which was released on Halloween at the end of the year.

"Does your movie have an Oscar chance?" Mariah Carey asked.

"Impossible..." Song Ya smiled, "Maybe there is hope of being nominated for the best soundtrack or something, but I don't plan to put a lot of effort into it."

It is impossible for a commercial film like Dancing My Life to be favored by the staid Oscar judges. He is self-aware.

The two were in a normal mood. As singers, they couldn't fully integrate into the Hollywood environment. They only passively interacted with some people, such as Madonna's ex-husband, the rumored talented movie star Sean Penn, and his current girlfriend Robin White. It's a bit like Underwood's wife Claire, so Song Ya chatted with them politely.

"APLUS..."

In the end, the two chatted with Billy Ray Cyrus, who is also a singer. Although the other party sang country music, and the two of them did not interfere with each other, but in this environment, it is possible to have a common language. That's him.

"Do you know what those music critics say about us? APLUS."

With a handsome face, he lived nearby and came alone, pointing at himself and Song Ya with a wry smile.

"of course I know."

Song Ya also laughed. In this regard, the two are in the same boat. Their first album sold well, but they didn’t produce any works. Now some music critics call them two singers. Even worse, he was even called a single singer, saying that he was nothing but the famous song AchyBreakyHeart.

With a common language, the three of them yelled at those music critics and walked slowly to David Geffen's private beach.

"It's fucking boring here, I just want to go home right now and be with my daughter..."

The temperament of a country singer is incompatible with this kind of party. "Your daughter? How old is it?" Mariah Carey asked.

"Only one year old." He replied.

"Oh, she must be very cute." Mariah Carey took off her high heels, held them in her hand, and walked barefoot on the beach.

"Yes, very cute, she is my angel." Billy Ray Cyrus said emotionally.

"APLUS?" At this time, a woman's voice sounded from behind.

The three of them turned around, and it turned out to be Pai Kingsley, the agent of Liang Tang, a middle-aged strong woman with an ordinary appearance, standing beside her was a very tall woman with blond hair and red lips, very beautiful and aggressive, the setting sun was already setting , this woman's skin is still white to shiny, it is the Australian wife Nicole Kidman of Liang Tang.

"Hello." Song Ya greeted them.

"Let's chat alone?" Pai Kingsley offered to invite.

"Okay." Song Ya left Mariah Carey and walked a little further along the coastline with her.

"I just signed Fergie, you know that," Pakinsley said.

"I know."

Song Ya knew that the woman in front of her was a top agent in Hollywood, one of CAA's top names, and not only an agent, she also owned a PMK public relations company, which was doing very well, so she must not rely on the top Hollywood actor to be beautiful Tang has been doing well in Hollywood, and it is easy to see her from this angle.

"While I'm not her manager, I would say that her situation with A+ Records has now entered into a very awkward state."

Pai Kingsley seems to act in a very strong manner, straight to the point, "Her former manager didn't realize at all that after breaking up with you in that way, she would never accept the songs you wrote, right? Otherwise, her The character design will collapse, unless you get back together with her."

"Is that how you see it?" Song Ya didn't answer directly.

"Yes, it is true."

"Maybe you should let it go, it's better for both of you," she said.

"Is there a company willing to pay her liquidated damages?" Song Ya asked.

"That number is too high..." She shook her head, "For the sake of your old friendship, maybe it would be good for both of you to negotiate a suitable price."

"ha!"

Song Ya smiled, "Is this how you talk about business? Want me to give up the first white female hip-hop singer I have become popular? I don't think it's 'all good'."

"APLUS, I know you're good at business, but that's the problem. You can't write songs for Fergie anymore. If the quality of her second album suffers a big decline, it's not good for you, isn't it? It’s time to take a profit and leave, just like the deal you did with Dow,” she replied.

"I arranged some good creators for her." Song Ya shook her head.

She also shook her head, "Miss Fergie doesn't trust those newcomers from Los Angeles."

"She has no right to question my arrangement." Song Ya felt a little bit like talking to a duck, "Even if you become her manager."

"You'll get an offer."

"Unless that price is consistent with the liquidated damages."

"Come on, APLUS, are you serious?" She was full of momentum, "I thought you were a young man who could deal with business rationally."

"WTF..."

Song Ya was too lazy to chat with this woman, "Who do you think you are? I'm not too serious, but you'd better pray that you don't see me serious..."

"OK, the first impression you left on me is APLUS."

She gave up the entanglement, turned her head and walked back, "You will receive an offer. Nicole...we should go."

"Sorry." Nicole Kidman, who was chatting with Mariah Carey and Billy Ray Cyrus, pleaded guilty and left behind Pakinsley.

"What a stunner." Billy Ray Cyrus sighed to Nicole Kidman's back.

"How are you talking?" Song Ya and Mariah Carey asked each other at the same time.

The two curled their lips at the same time, showing unhappy expressions.

"Ha ha!"

Billy Ray Cyrus smiled when he saw this tacit understanding, "Well, I think I should go too, sorry, I just worked on the light bulb for so long."

The two smiled and watched his leaving back, "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood yesterday." Mariah Carey apologized first.

"It's okay, it's a trivial matter, and I also want to apologize for my attitude."

Song Ya hugged her, and the two found a quiet place to sit down, buried their feet in the sand, cuddled together, silently side by side, admiring the sunset.

Inever to the beach, orstood by the ocean

Ineversatbytheshore,underthesunwithmyfeetinthesand

But you brought me here and I'm happy that you did

'Cause now I'mas free as birds hunting the wind

She suddenly played tricks like a child, grabbed the sand and threw the sand on Song Ya's body, "Hahaha..." and laughed.

"Damn it." Song Ya's childlike innocence was also provoked, and she was about to fight back when she grabbed it.

She quickly got up and fled, and the two chased each other on the beach, fighting and fighting.

I always thought I would sink, so Ineverswam

Inever went boatin', don't get how they refloatin'

And I get so scared of what I can't understand

"Be careful and safe." Song Ya saw that she was about to run into the waves, and shouted quickly.

She stopped, turned around, opened her hands, her golden curly hair fluttered in the setting sun, she was extraordinarily beautiful.

The two embraced affectionately, drawing a long shadow on the beach.
