CHAPTER XXIV

"One-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, yes, first the arms, then from the top down. Consultants from Anne Fletcher's dance studio, beating the beat, showed Britney their choreographed moves.

"First use your hands to pick up the S-shape, then shake your waist, and finally go all the way to your feet. Britney watched and practiced at the same time, and the movements that were not difficult were mastered after a few practice.

Then she rushed to the lounge area behind the camera, where Sid was talking with the director of the commercial, or rather, with Sid.

As the saying goes, a commercial film director who doesn't think about a film director is not a good director.

Today, the director who came to shoot a Pepsi commercial for Britney is naturally no exception. So when he saw Sid appear with Britney, he immediately fidgeted with excitement.

And when Britney went to change her clothes and practice dancing with the choreographer, he was very enthusiastic about talking to Sid.

Seeing Britney come back, Sid smiled and took out the towel, "Tired, come, rest for a while." ”

"Not tired. Britney Spears smiled and shook her head, and then she took the towel handed by Sid and wiped the sweat beads, while Sid looked at the director of the commercial without a trace.

He reacted immediately, "I'll go to the bathroom." With that, he called out to his assistant to leave quickly.

"Sidshid, what do you think of my clothes?" Britney, dressed in a blue, white and red tracksuit, was recording a football-themed commercial today.

The tracksuit, which is beautifully colored and just right to outline Britney's figure, is, of course, "pretty, very pretty." Sid smiled and nodded.

"Hee-hee, thank you. Britney laughed happily at Sid's praise, then took Sid's arm and sat down.

Britney and Sid are here today, just to shoot Pepsi's eight consecutive TV commercials, after all, they have already received $80 million in salaries, and it is impossible to do it with just a few photo posters.

And after a busy month of events in January, Britney Spears finally took a break from the crowd, which was just in time to shoot a Pepsi commercial.

————————————————————

Just as Britney Spears began filming a Pepsi commercial, another long-lost rookie singer from Fire Lion Records finally released her first album.

"Yo yo——, are you all in a hurry? Our album recommendation today is that it's okay to get nine shots in the body50Cent!!" a black DJ in a wide T-shirt and a thick gold necklace around his neck, sitting in the radio studio, he excitedly said into the microphone.

Yes, 50Cent's debut album "Poer Of A Dollar", which has been recuperating for more than half a year, is finally officially released. And as an important step in publicity, it is certainly essential to go to black radio stations for propaganda DJing.

"Yo, 50Cent, why don't you introduce your debut album? With that, the DJ boy turned the topic to 50Cent, who was sitting opposite.

"OK, man. 50Cent lifted the hip-hop hat on his head and said into the microphone, "Hey, N's, I'm back! ”

Such a statement full of personality immediately caused several hosts in the recording studio to laugh. To be honest, the current hip-hop industry still continues a bit, the street gangster atmosphere of the 8 and 90s.

Therefore, a flamboyant and uninhibited speech like 50Cent will arouse the interest and liking of rap lovers, which is the same reason that rebellious children love rock and roll.

Coupled with the fact that 50Cent was shot 9 times last year and did not die, it added a bit of legend to him, and among a group of Rap lovers, it can be regarded as a typical example of the album not being sold and becoming famous first.

This has contributed to the promotion of Fire Lion Records.

After greeting each other, the DJ played the title song of the same name, "Poer Of A Dollar", and in the rhythmic soundtrack, the 50Cent hard and rhythmic rap sounded.

His first album, which was not originally released in history, was also a bestseller as soon as it was released.

"The results of 'Poer Of A Dollar' are in!" said the distribution manager of Fire Lion Records, rushing into CEO Barry Weiss's office with the latest sales figures.

"How's it going?" Barry Weiss looked up as soon as he heard the results.

50Cent, as the first debut singer of YoungMoney, a sub-label specializing in the rap hip-hop market, can be said to have a great impact on Sid's plans for Fire Lion Records next, so Barry Weiss can't help but be nervous.

"510,000 copies in the first week!" Barry Weiss's words made Barry Weiss stand up.

"510,000!"

Barry Weiss secretly clenched his fists, this first week result is definitely not bad for the rap record industry at this time, not to mention that this is the first album of 50Cent.

"Good!" Barry Weiss nodded immediately, "Then go on a national radio tour with 50Cent, as planned, and promote it at skate shops, record store chains, and physical stores of Viking Records, and don't forget the MTV advertising and publicity." ”

"No problem, MTV has already been contacted. The distribution manager nodded, and then he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I didn't expect MTV to really agree to cooperate with us." ”

"Oh, it's no wonder, after all, our boss has the best cards. Barry Weiss shrugged.

In previous years, Sid had not allowed Britney to appear at MTV's most important awards, the VMA Music Awards, both because the Fire Lion himself had a similar AMA All-American Music Award, and because of the prevention of the black history of VMA Black Britney.

As a result, MTV TV has always had little support for the artists under Fire Lion Records, but with Britney's successive explosions, and Linkin Park, the first rock band of Big Machine Records, was born last year.

This makes MTV, which pursues profits, unable to ignore the artists under Fire Lion Records after all. Sid also instructed Barry Weiss to contact MTV, and the Fire Lion agreed to let its singers and artists other than Britney Spears appear on the VMA.

In contrast, MTV also opened its music programs to promote the artists of the Fire Lion, as well as the music videos of the singers and artists who added the Fire Lion Records when the music videos were played.

Linkin Park, which began its global tour this year, is the first band under Fire Lion Records to be promoted through MTV TV, and 50Cent is the first Fire Lion solo singer to appear on MTV's movie stage.

Although, Britney still did not appear on MTV TV for the time being, which made the other party very regretful. But Viacom's side (MTV's parent group) still sees this as a sign of the Fire Lion's gradual opening up, and is completely unaware that this is nothing more than Sid's hypocrisy of delaying time before the advent of the Internet propaganda era.
