Chapter 61: Tail Closure and Refrigeration

"Who the hell attacked 50Cent?" the middle-aged aunt asked with a frown. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I don't know, but 50Cent used to be an overseller, and after so many years on the streets of New York, there must be a lot of enemies, and the police don't know what's going on now. Another broker who specializes in 50Cent's brokerage work shook his head and said.

"That's why I didn't agree to broker these black rap people from the beginning. As the second largest shareholder in Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company after Ali (Emmanuel), the middle-aged aunt looked at Ali (Emmanuel) very unhappily and said.

Ali (Emmanuel) twisted his brow and turned his head to look over, this damn bitch, from the first day he joined the company, he wanted to squeeze out his position, Ali (Emmanuel) deliberately surprised and said to her: "I really didn't know you were still a racist!?"

"Shut up, Ali, I'm not in the mood to play tricks on you. This middle-aged aunt named Barbara is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she shook off Ali's (Emmanuel) excuse, and continued to ask persecutively: "Then what are you going to do?" Ali (Emmanuel), your golden boy Golden-Boy can't help you this time. ”

At this moment, the 50Cent agent's mobile phone rang, and he immediately picked it up: "Hello, yes, it's me." Well, well, what's going on now?"

It seems that the call is also from New York, and after answering it for a long time, the agent of 50Cent turned off the phone, and then found that the whole conference room was staring at him.

"What the hell is going on TM!" Ali (Emmanuel) asked.

"Well, Boss, the assistant at the hospital called, and they said 50Cent had been shot nine times, and the New York police had a press conference to say that the attacker was probably a killer in Lower New York. ”

"What!?" Barbara shouted in dismay, and then she immediately glared at Ali (Emmanuel): "We must fire this guy, and better fire all the guys with a criminal history!"

Ali (Emmanuel) scratched his forehead with a headache, and then looked at Barbara: "Do you want me to fire our company's biggest customer, the singer under the Fire Lion, without saying hello at all?"

"Then go call, go to contacts, do what you have to do, damn it. Barbara said in a row.

――――――――――――――――――――

"No, I don't think it's a big deal. Sid's voice sounded calm and flat, which made the mood of everyone on the other side of the phone, in the Fire Lion Record conference room, immediately sink to the bottom.

"That, Boss. Barry Weiss, CEO of Fire Lion Records, hesitated, but said cautiously: "You know, that 50Cent was shot by someone suspected of being a killer, right?"

"Huh. Sid couldn't help but laugh, "Of course, I know. ”

"It's not just a shooting, Boss. Barry Weiss said cautiously, "Although we also knew that many of these black Rapers started as traffickers, this assassination shooting was really bad. And I suspect that the media of those media groups will certainly not let go of this weakness of ours. ”

"It would be quite a bad thing to discredit the image of Fire Lion Records, or even the image of Miss Spears. Barry Weiss's words made sense, and even Sid had to bow his head slightly.

"And what's your opinion now?" Sid's question relieved the crowd on the Fire Lion Record across the phone from the amplifier.

"We think the best way to do this is to fire 50Cent, and then publish the corresponding news in the big media and big newspapers, such as the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, to clarify the matter and minimize the negative impact. "Barry Weiss's approach is really a good way to cut off the tail of the gecko, and it can also eliminate the negative effects from the beginning.

But, "How is 50Cent doing now?" Sid asked suddenly.

"50Cent?" Barry Weiss was stunned for a moment, then looked at the head of Young-Money Entertainment, who was specifically in charge of the matter.

The other party immediately spoke, "That's right, Boss." Although the operation has been successful, the doctor said that 50Cent's physical condition is not optimistic, and it will take at least two or three months to get out of bed, and if it is to fully recover, it will take half a year. ”

"When was the first 50Cent album originally released?" Sid shifted the subject in another direction, but Barry Weiss vaguely understood what Sid meant.

"It's September of this year. Said the head of Young-Money Entertainment.

"Then freeze 50Cent. Sid's words allowed Barry Weiss to prove his suspicions.

"Frozen?" asked the head of Young-Money Entertainment in surprise.

"Not bad, freeze 50Cent and his debut album. Sid nodded and said, "Since it will take him half a year to recover, let's freeze it for half a year first, and the method is the same as what I just said." We took the initiative to clarify in the New York Times, affirming that everything we do is based on a police investigation. ”

"Now, 50Cent is the victim, so no matter what method those guys want to use to hype, we will solve it with cold treatment. Also, if the police really launch an investigation or prosecution against 50Cent, then of course we will not be involved, and if the situation really deteriorates to that point, we will fire him. ”

"But as long as the police and the prosecution don't initiate a lawsuit, then we'll wait until the matter cools down before using 50Cent. When a year or two has passed, no one will be interested in this matter, and even if those media groups want to make trouble, they will not be able to make any waves. Sid's words surprised everyone at Fire Lion Records.

"Shall we still use him?" asked the head of Young-Money Entertainment in surprise.

"Of course, after all, 50Cent is our first rap singer, and if we fire him directly before we release a record, it will not be good for the future development of Fire Lion Records. As long as the situation is not to the last step, we keep going. ”

"Also, when 50Cent's injury is healed, let him come and see me, I want to see this guy. Sid's explanation is also reasonable, although it is not as simple as the way of the Fire Lion Records, but it is indeed the safest way, even if those media groups want to take the opportunity to crack down on the Fire Lion, there will not be too good a chance.

So the next day's Los Angeles Times and later the New York Times entertainment section, Fire Lion Records preemptively made an announcement that before the police investigation was over, the singer of the New York shooting 50Cent would be refrigerated, and his debut album would be postponed indefinitely. We will be closely monitoring the progress and results of the investigation by the New York Police and will announce the follow-up arrangements for 50Cent to the general audience.

Although later, some tabloids and gossip media exposed this suspected shooting case, and with the help of certain figures, they wanted to pull it on Fire Lion Records and even the Fire Lion Group, but the authoritative effect of the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times is still very effective.

This seemingly serious accident, with the full planning behind the Fire Lion Records, seemed to be an understatement and slowly calmed down.
