Chapter 10 Rare
Although Ali doubted that Michael Eisner would hold such a grudge, Sid knew very well that compared to the other big group leaders. Michael Eisner is probably one of the most "small-bellied" ones.
This can be seen from the fact that after he did not hesitate to kick out the meritorious Katzenberg, Disney's ABC television network has always banned the purchase of films from DreamWorks during his administration, and Michael Eisner is definitely synonymous with dirty retribution.
"Then today's incident, could it be Esner......" Sid immediately thought of another possibility.
"Noβ" Ali jumped up at once, and it was no good thing to provoke the malice of a media mogul like Michael Eisner for no reason.
"What? are you scared?" Sid rolled his eyes and looked at Ali.
"Who, who said I'm scared!" Ali couldn't help but pat his chest.
"Alright, stop pretending, your legs are starting to tremble. Sid said, glancing down.
"Who said my legs are swinging!" Ali hurriedly followed and looked at his legs, only to see him standing on the ground with his legs well, "You cheat me again!" Ali immediately cried out with a sad face.
"Who made your own heart empty. Sid then smiled and patted Ali on the shoulder, "Don't be so nervous, Ali. Although I don't know why Eisner is worried about us, but his life is not so good now, he has enemies all over the world in the circle, and when the time comes, someone will naturally deal with him without us doing anything. β
It's been 02 years now, and Michael Eisner, the former godfather of Disney, is already a grasshopper and a little devil's tail after the fall - it can't grow!
If he really did it, then Sid could rest assured.

When this unexpected "stirrup" was suppressed by Sid and others, it became another Hollywood urban legend. After releasing all three singles in North America and Europe, Sid's first studio album, Hold Handshake, was finally released.
Although Sid's title song "Hold My Hands" sung publicly before, it had the highest popularity at the beginning.
However, the three popular singles "It's going to Be Me", "Bye Bye Bye", and "This I Promise You" that were released at the end came from behind, causing the biggest heated discussion.
Along with the album, there are also music videos for each major single, and unlike the usual album with only four or five music videos, Sid's "Hold Handshake" has a full seven music videos.
Of course, only good enough songs can really satisfy listeners, and quality is always the only measure, not quantity.
So on the first day of the release of "Hold Handshake", Fire Lion Records held its breath, although in the eyes of the music industry, this so-called album is more of a ticket work for Sid.
After all, who would believe that a director can be a part-time singer, the most exaggerated situation in Hollywood, that is, like Will Smith and Lindsay, actors and singers.
So on the day of the album's release, there were long queues at the door of major physical record stores in North America, and people couldn't help but wonder if it was at the door of the movie theater in the summer file.
Such a rare grand occasion even attracted interviews from TV media and reporters.
"Hello everyone, this is the main street in Brooklyn, New York, and I believe you can see this long line. An NBC reporter, smiling in front of the camera, said to the audience, "Do you know they're queuing up to buy something? β
Then, the reporter stopped the two young women, "Hello, may I ask why you are here?"
"Buy a CD. One of the long-haired girls replied.
"Yes, we're here to buy a new album. Her companion said impatiently.
"Oh, whose album is it that you can't wait to see. The reporter asked curiously.
"It's Sid Leon!" said the long-haired girl quickly, "we've been waiting for an album for a long time. β
"Sid, we love you!" the red-haired companion suddenly shouted into the camera, her shouting immediately eliciting a chorus of cheers from the front and back of the group.
The reporter couldn't help but smile and asked, "So, are you two fans of Sid Leon?"
"Yes. The two girls nodded in unison.
Then the reporter interviewed several middle-aged men and women who were lined up at the back of the line, "Hello, are you also here to buy Sid Leon's album?"
"Yes, we do. A middle-aged uncle at the head nodded.
"May I ask you why you want to listen to Sid's album?" the reporter asked curiously, because he found that in today's team, in addition to young people, there are also many middle-aged fans.
"I watched the charity concert on TV last October last year, and I was ...... to the song Sid sang at the time."
βγHold My Handsγγ One of his female companions reminded.
"yes, Hold My Hands, I was very impressed with this song, and I heard that Sid has several really good spiritual songs on this album, so I wanted to hear about Sid's album. The middle-aged uncle replied.
"Oh, I see. Thank you. After thanking the reporter, he turned back to the audience in front of the television and said, "This is not the only line in New York today in front of the record store, there are the same long lines in Queens and Manhattan." It's hard to imagine that this was the grand release of Sid's first album. β
In addition to New York, the same situation is also playing out in large and medium-sized cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston.
With the popularity of pirated MP3s on the Internet in recent years, it has become more and more difficult to see. Therefore, this grand occasion of Sid's first album naturally attracted the attention of the music circle.
Whether it's a media like "Rolling Stone" magazine, or a long-established pop star, some people are excited and expectant, and some people have bad intentions, but no matter what, most people can't help but pay attention to this matter.
And the most interesting question is, what is the first week of the "Hold Handshake" album?
"I'll you-" When various media got the sales figures of "Hold Handshake" released by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), everyone couldn't help but subconsciously scolded Niang!
1,879,955 sheets!
This number immediately scared everyone's glasses off.
Why?
Let's take a look at the list of all previous records of first-week sales, and in fourth place is Britney's second album "Oops... I Did It Again", with a score of 1.31 million in the first week, also became the first place among all female singers.
