"Let's talk about the second thing, I think Jive Records, although it's now a TeenPop mainstay, used to be a staple of the East Coast's pretty famous HipPop music. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sid's words made Barry Weiss's mind come alive.

"Yes, we didn't move to TeenPop idols until the mid-90s. But we've had a lot of successful black HipPop singers in the past. Barry Weiss said confidently.

"Then why didn't you do it later?" asked Max Martin.

"The market for HipPop is too small, and the competition is too fierce, and it's hard for us to compete with the big labels and black labels. Barry Weiss explains.

"But now the turning point has arrived. Sid smiled.

"So we needed to build a second label besides JIve, a sub-label of hip-hop, Young-Money Entertainment. Jive used to be a hip-hop musician, and I think there are still a lot of people who prefer hip-hop, and it would be a viable plan to take these people out and form a hip-hop music label. Max Martin said.

Sid and Max Martin sang and harmonized, and decided the matter directly without waiting for Barry Weiss's objection, and Barry Weiss finally had to nod: "That's no problem, the production staff and management team who understand hip-hop music can still be found." But the most important singers, we may have to look for a while. ”

"What is this......" Sid and Max Martin smiled strangely, which immediately made Barry Weiss feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are you already looking for it?" asked Barry Weiss in surprise.

Sid pulled out a few papers and opened them on the table, revealing photos and information of several underground hip-hop singers.

"Curtis Jackson (black), born in Queens, to an unknown father and a mother who was a Pitiao trader, was killed in the Hei gang conflict. He grew up in his grandmother's house, and because of the neighborhood and the environment, he started selling Du at the age of 12 and was arrested by the police. It wasn't until the mid-90s that he began to turn his interest to rap music. Sid read over the first singer's profile.

"Arrest of the Duck and the arrest!?" Barry Weiss recalled that the reason why Jeve Records got out of the hip-hop world back then was because the black hip-hop industry was always inseparable from the Hei gang and the Du-dealers, and these social negative factors.

And in the early 90s, it happened to be the peak of the confrontation between the hip-hop circles on the east and west coasts of the United States, when hip-hop singers on both sides of the strait were violently facing each other, and Qiang bullets intersected.

It seems that the entire hip-hop world will be wiped out by the government at any time because of the turmoil in society, or by the government, or by these hot-blooded hip-hop singers. So a lot of companies have quit the hip-hop world, and Jive Records is just one of them.

"I know that there used to be a lot of chaos among HipPop singers, but after the last East-West Coast confrontation, the development of HipPop has begun to gradually break away from the connection with violence and the Hei gang, and get on the right track. I think it's a good time to step in, and if it's too late, you'll lose the advantage of time. Sid explained.

Most people are a little blinded about Curtis Jackson, but you know his stage name - 50Cent!

"There are also a few great hip-hop producers and black singers in the back, and Kanye West (Kanye) is a producer that I am very optimistic about, and his talent in hip-hop production is no less than Max. Sid's words made Barry Weiss frown, Max Martin's series of blockbuster singles for Backstreet Boys can be said to have established the status of the world's No. 1 boy group of Backstreet Boys, and now he is the hottest talented producer in the music industry, can he compare with him?

"And this Farrell Williams is also an all-rounder who can both produce and sing, and I am also very optimistic. Sid introduced them one by one, and then several people discussed in detail about the upcoming plan.

It was open until the evening, when they finished the meeting.

"TeenPop's Jive Records, HipPop's YoungMoney Entertainment, and BigMachineRecord, which is both pop and rock, we built on this triangle to build on the development of Fire Lion Records. Barry Weiss was struck by Sid and Max's bold and thoughtful planning, their boldness to recruit talent, and their ability to gather detailed intelligence.

"OK, in terms of creation, now we will focus on Britney's new album and the inclusion of talents, and then promote the singers and albums while developing the organization. Sid said, "I'll leave the details to you, Max, and Shirley." ”

After setting the direction, goals and authority, it is time to fully delegate authority, of course, provided that the right talent is selected. Sid has absolute confidence in Max Martin at this point, and Barry Weiss does not have much talent, but according to the specific plan, he is still no problem as a professional manager, and there is also Shirley's review.

Fire Lion's music department doesn't have to worry about him anymore for the time being.

――――――――――――――――――――

The premiere of "Born to Be a Pair" was held in an ordinary AMC theater on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, after all, as a low-budget film with an investment of no more than $15 million. Disney didn't take it too seriously, but even so, they arranged for the film in more than 2,200 theaters across the United States in the first week.

It can also be seen from here that Disney, a first-class film company, has the same right to speak as small and medium-sized companies. Fire Lion can now contact more than 100 theaters for "Little Sunshine Beauty" at the end of the year, and this is still based on the box office results of "Ghost Shadow" and the recent amazing performance of Fire Lion TV.

In short, because of Disney's public relations on the red carpet today, there are still some entertainment reporters, but the scene can only be regarded as nothing but not lost, compared to the star-studded and fan-like fans at the premiere of "The Peerless Tribulation" in the first half of the month, it is definitely far behind.

Whether it is Dennis Quaid who starred in the lead role, or Nancy Meyers who is directing for the first time, they can only be regarded as ordinary characters with familiar faces in Hollywood. Although the reporters greeted the actors and directors with smiles for Disney's hospitality, they were not too interested.

Natasha Richardson, who played the mother, caused a commotion when she appeared on the red carpet with her husband Liam Neeson. After all, Liam Neeson, as a veteran action star and the leading actor of next year's super blockbuster "Star Wars Prequel", is definitely an eye-catching star.

"Hey, Liam, look over here!"

"Hey Liam, how was it like filming Star Wars?"

"Liam, can you tell us a little bit about Star Wars?"

Well, on the red carpet of Disney films, I asked about Fox's movie, which made the Disney staff at the scene a little unswerving.

"I'm accompanying my wife to see the movie she starred in, I'm sorry, it's not about me today, I'm not the protagonist. And Liam Neeson just shrugged his shoulders and said that he would not talk about Star Wars today.

Liam Neeson and Natasha Richardson walked to the entrance of the cinema together after a photo shoot on the red carpet and saw the director Nancy Meyers and his wife and the other protagonist, Dennis Quaid.

"Nancy Dennis, why are you standing here?" asked Natasha Richardson, curiously.

"Lindsay hasn't come yet. Nancy Meyers said with some concern.

"Could it be that what happened to her parents again?" said Natasha Richardson.

"Probably not, today is the premiere, how can they not drop the chain at this time. Dennis Quaid said.

"By the way, is Charles here today?" asked Natasha Richardson.

"I don't know, he has already sent someone to bring flowers, but he didn't say whether anyone will come or not. Speaking of this work partner, Nancy Meyers also shrugged helplessly.

Originally, it stands to reason that Mr. Charles, who served as the producer of "A Natural Couple", would definitely be there, but he was poached by Sid halfway and became the head of Fire Lion TV, and now Fire Lion TV has shaken the entire North American TV circle because of "Who Can Be a Millionaire".

This made Mr. Charles's identity rise all of a sudden, as one of the top executives of the Fire Lion Group, it was impossible for him to go to the premiere of another company. And Disney has already sent a new candidate to replace the producer of Mr. Charles.

"Lindsey is what you said, the little girl who has a particularly good relationship with the prodigy Sid in the crew?" Liam Neeson, who had not spoken all this time, asked his wife.

"Yes, Lindsay's kid is cute, you'll love it when you see it later. Natasha Richardson smiled and nodded.

"Well, do you think she's going to show up with Sid Leon?" Liam Neeson said jokingly.

Several people looked at each other and immediately laughed together, "Haha, Liam, your joke is really exaggerated." ”

"I've heard of Sid Leon and never attends any parties or events. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Lindsay held each other nervously and kept looking out the car window, Sid gently touched her red hair, "Nervous?"

"Well, sort of. Lindsay nodded, her lips trembling slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm here, everything is fine. Sid said with a smile.

Lindsay squeezed out a smile and nodded.

At this time, Limo (limousine) came to a stop, and there was a loud noise outside, and Lindsay looked at Sid nervously, and Sid gave her an encouraging smile.

Lindsay then nodded, opened the door and jumped in.
