Chapter 611 Recording Short Film

Eskub is now focusing most of his energy on Hollywood. After the Street Boys in 1991 brought him and John Singleton glory, their film careers have been down for three years. Eskub has made a bunch of bad movies. Many of the projects were invested by himself, and John Singleton used the "Justins Who Writes Poetry" to extinguish DIVA Janet Jackson's efforts in the direction of the film.

So the two frustrated people recently joined forces again, trying to return to the successful routine of the boys on the block, and found the white actress Jennifer Connelly, who has not been developing well in recent years, to make a realistic movie: School Clash, which will be released in January next year.

Eskub himself also participated in investment, screenwriting, and starred in a comedy film "Friday", and gave his good brother Gary Gray the opportunity to direct it, which will be released in April next year.

"Are you not interested in music?" Song Ya was a little surprised when he learned that he would not release another album in the near future.

"I want to focus on movies for the past two years."

"And the gangsta rap scene is getting more and more obscure," Eskub said.

He has his own hip-hop label, so he doesn’t have to be exploited by Su Ge Knight like Dre and Snoop Dogg. The albums in 1992 and 1993 can be sold well, and he has made a lot of money. There is no such thing as old-fashioned. The east and west coasts of the United States have friendships with the Lame Gang, Blood Gang, Predators, and GD. "In the past, everyone would only initiate diss when they had grievances or were unhappy with each other's music or lyrics. Now it seems that they don't have any enemies. It's embarrassing to go out. It’s like saying hello to people, the famous and the unfamous have a tacit understanding of Beef, and M-fxxk has a tacit understanding. The DJs are all gossiping, and they can’t wait to see people copy guns and fight each other every day.”

Song Ya knew that he was a smart person, and his observation of the strange phenomena in the bandit rap circle is also very reasonable. No wonder he likes to make small moves to test others, because he has to adjust his relationship with others at any time, otherwise he can't do it like he is now. So it's both right and left.

But in this way, if Song Ya wanted to buy him, he was held back. Originally, he planned to make a price for his new album through the Chicago meeting next year, and release resources for his new album, and to come up with a good song from the second album to cooperate with him. sung.

"Concentrate on movies?"

"Concentrate on movies."

"Uh..." Song Ya thought for a while, "In this way, I can influence the film arrangement of some theaters, and when the movie you invested in yourself is released on Friday next year, I can help..."

"Really? Just cover it?" He was very interested, but he didn't believe it very much. "I've been in Hollywood for many years. Don't believe those theater bosses. They all talk good things. When the movie is released If the box office hits the street, the plenum will turn their faces, and if they say that the film will be withdrawn, the film will be withdrawn."

"Maybe."

Song Ya briefly talked about the equipment cooperation project between DTS and the theater, "Of course, I can't help much. There are about 50 theater bosses who have maintained a relatively close relationship with me after the screening of "Dancing My Life". Personal connections, thirty-five theaters near Asian communities on the east and west coasts, and a dozen near Chicago’s black neighborhoods.”

Eskub looked him up and down a few times, and didn't feel like he was bragging casually, "You just want me to help you clean up?"

"Just show up in a documentary program about Sinaloa. You don't need to clean up anything for me, just retell your worries about the rap circle to the camera." Song Ya said.

"Okay." He thought about it and agreed.

The prepared offer had a problem with him, and it was the same with MC, "APLUS, I am very grateful for your kindness..." He and the old employee Linda walked back slowly while chatting from a distance, "But I've already sold that TV station, sorry."

"What!?"

Song Ya originally planned to pay a premium to buy his TV station, but he didn't expect it to be sold. Linda had a good relationship with the old owner. After learning the news, she exclaimed, "Who did you sell it to?! How much did you sell it for? You won't Have you been lied to again?"

"Not this time, for a good price, Comcast put together a lot of small local California stations.

"

The MC said: "Just after the Compton shooting, the bullets whized past me and it freaked me out so I went to church the next day and that's where I learned they wanted to buy The news from the TV station. I think this is God's generosity to me..."

This guy's mentality has slipped from one extreme to the other. He talks about God, and he doesn't seem to care about material temptations. If he can persist, maybe Sinaloa has done a good thing?

"Then can you express your feelings in front of the camera?"

That's right, I saved myself a fortune.

"Yes, I will, I will do my part." MC nodded piously, "Linda, I want to learn evangelism recently..."

"Well, I'm very happy with your change." Linda looked at him with relief. MC people are not bad in nature, and it is at least better to devote oneself to religion than to spend time and drink in the past.

After the two were settled, WGN, BET and Chicago Tribune formed a joint documentary film crew, traveled to the three major cities of New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, and got some first-hand information from Song Ya, and quickly made a film. A short recording of about twenty minutes.

"Perhaps the audience has seen the news about the gangster in Chicago not long ago. I mourn like you for the heroic FBI agent who sacrificed his precious life to capture him..."

After the BET nightly news, the image of the host Gordon was transmitted to the screens of millions of households through cable. Violence surrounds them as a group, and this station, in conjunction with WGN TV and Chicago Tribune political reporter Miss Barnes, through this case, this person..."

A close-up photo of Sinaloa appeared on the TV screen, "Sinaloa, or Little Binny." Next to it was a wanted photo from his previous Harlem nightclub shooting, which was his plastic surgery. Previous, protruding incisors protrude from the upper lip.

"And a series of singers around this person, what happened around them, the impact they received, the price they paid, and even their lives..."

In the screen, the mugshots of K-ci, Song Ya, Lowry Jr., Puff Daddy, Su Ge Knight, etc. flashed one by one, "Today, let us try to clarify this incident and the background of the times behind it .Zoe, you have a good personal relationship with APLUS, right? I often see you appear in reports related to him."

Gordon looked sideways at Zoe Barnes next to him.

"Yes, we have worked together for many years."

Zoe Barnes, who was dressed in decent fashion, replied seriously: "This time I got some exclusive text and video materials from him that absolutely did not appear in any media."

"Okay, so where are you going to approach this?" Gordon asked.

"First of all, let's talk about the origin of rap music." With Zoe's words, the screen cuts away from the studio, and the words "music, rap and street violence" appear in the opening title of the short film, followed by a series of early historical images.

"At that time, African-American schools did not have enough funds, and white schools began to cut their budgets, so they could only reduce insignificant teaching aids such as musical instruments. The African-American group who made great achievements in music said goodbye to musical instruments. The ethnic community has no resources, so people have to be self-sufficient, using whatever they can find at hand to make drumbeats instead of beats, and human voices instead of instruments, until they develop a unique form of 'saying' music, RAP."

"He comes from the poor, so he can't get rid of the soil of urban slums. From the 1980s, Schoolly-d first substituted drugs and violence into rap music, forming the prototype of gangsta rap. Gangster rappers sang at the beginning It's the people and things around them, so they can't completely distance themselves from the gangs in the neighborhood, because in those communities, the existence of gangs is as natural as breathing. The singers speak out for their gangs, fight, Then……"

Accompanied by an out-of-text commentary, the short film begins by reviewing the more famous violent incidents in the history of hip-hop music, "Sinaloa appeared, and he raised this violent behavior to a new peak. At least ten people were killed by him. Killed, including an FBI agent."

A close-up of Sinaloa appears in the frame, along with photos of some of the singers affected by the various incidents of violence.

"To figure it all out, I came to the City of Angels, Los Angeles."

Zoe Barnes appeared on the screen holding a microphone, accompanied by NWA's classic gangsta rap music, "Escube, can I talk about your story?" She first popularized the street violence incidents involved in NWA, Then he handed the microphone to Eskub, who was sitting with his legs apart, looking like a big guy.

"I remember here on the west coast, the first guy who brought gangsta rap to us was ICE-T, and I thought it was cool, you know? Because he was singing about what happened around us, which was just happening on the block about..."

Eskub gave a brief introduction to the history of gangster rap on the West Coast, and then repeated his critical remarks about Song Ya.

"So what do you think is the problem?" Zoe Barnes asked.

"Community, white people are letting the African-American community go, they don't care about the poverty, drugs and violence here, and the children live in this environment since they were young..." He made a long speech.

Then in New York, Zoe also visited the NAS, and his answers were basically the same.

"I didn't interview the rappers in Chicago because they are the protagonists in this report." Zoe then said to the camera: "So where does everything start..."

It was Little Lowry's turn to appear on the stage. Along with the music from the second-hand store, video records of him when he first became famous began to appear on the screen, as well as the pictures of him entering and leaving the police station in Tony's case, "in the small record company that broke away from Chicago. , thrown into the arms of industry moguls in New York, Lowry Jr. still maintains the behavior pattern in his old home on the South Side of Chicago, and he is angry with anyone who dares to challenge him, because he firmly believes that the gangster rapper should be that way."

Lowry Jr. stood by as the silencer beat up Puff Daddy on the streets of New York.

"His war with New York singers begins..."

Zoe said.

"Little Lowry hoho..." NAS came back for an interview again, "He was very popular at that time, and he didn't take everything seriously. He came from Chicago and claimed to have strong gang support behind him. The singers in New York were all in private Asking each other, 'Hey! What the hell is that crazy Chicago guy up to?'”

Then Zoe went through a series of shooting incidents that Little Lowry and Puff Daddy suffered, showing the gradual escalation of violence on both sides, "APLUS, what do you think of Little Lowry?" Song Ya, who was sinking comfortably on the sofa, debut.

"Well, he's my cousin's good brother, so I'm... fifteen?" He looked up with a look of reminiscence, "" Then one day, I said to myself 'Hey, Alexander, what are you doing? Don't you want to be a singer too? Just like little Lowry! '"

"He took care of you." Zooey interjected.

"Yes, he took good care of me at that time. You know, all the street boys in Nancheng take care of each other."

Song Ya said: "I worked as a servant with him for a period of time, in fact, I just did chores, and then wrote about second-hand shops..."

"Then how did you..."

"We went to New York one after another, but I didn't want to limit the music to rap. We also had different views on the identity of singers. I wanted to set an example for young people, while he was obsessed with people's admiration and street fame... "

"Your relationship with the gang?"

"It would be hypocritical to say that there is nothing, but who can escape the children who grew up there?"

"So you all know Sinaloa? He also has your lyrics tattooed on him, right?"

"I know there is such a person, but..." Song Ya's smile faded away, she shook her head and didn't make a specific positive statement, but fell into sad contemplation.

The scene cuts to the door of Compton Radio, "Singers are always hooked up with a gang, and the teenagers in the gang will also regard singers as idols, and they think it's cool to help idols clear the way. "

Then she interviewed the MC, and was fed a lot of chicken soup about God.

Zoe said: "Sinaloa was responsible for the Harlem nightclub shooting, the Compton radio station shooting, and he killed a family of key witnesses in the Lowry Jr. trafficking case, including two young children. ..."

The picture shows the innocent and lovely photos of AK's two children.

"Sinaloa is getting out of control..." Zoe said. "A local gang member was arrested and said: They think this guy has gone completely crazy."

The screen cuts to the surveillance video at the gate of the park that night, "This gangster who is only 18 years old with bloody hands suddenly appeared outside the idol's lively party. He wanted to go in, but was refused."

The camera zooms in, and Sinaloa can be vaguely seen gesticulating angrily, "The rejection of the idol made him furious, so he embarked on a killing journey."

The video faithfully recorded the whole process of Sinaloa returning to the car, and then the car drove away, so that the rumors of VIBE magazine were self-defeating.

"If you had allowed him to enter your party, maybe nothing would have happened later, and the FBI agent..." After reminiscing about the life of the agent who killed Sinaloa, Zuo Yi asked Song Ya again.

"Hey, there were hundreds of guests in my room at that time." Song Ya waved her hands helplessly and smiled.

Then the screen cut back to the studio, "A very exciting documentary, Zoe, what do you think is behind all this..."

Gordon began to discuss with Zoe the deep-seated social issues behind the incident.
