Chapter 125: The King of Spoofs

So except for those who are really big names to a certain extent, such as Madonna, the Rolling Stones and other top figures, the average singer has no say in front of the record company.

You don't see Avril Lavigne, who is a smash hit in history, because of the conflict with her own record company's concept of the style positioning of her new album, she has been refrigerated for so many years, which directly led to the popular rock witch disappearing from the music scene.

After Sid told 50Cent's agent to shut up, he turned to 50Cent again and said lightly: "You know, since you were shot, many people have asked me to fire you. ”

50Cent's nervous expression became even more serious when he heard Sid's words, but Sid continued blindly: "Especially since the police report that the killer who is suspected of shooting you was killed by an unknown person. ”

Sid stopped when he said this, and then looked at 50Cent lightly, just when the agent next to him was in a cold sweat, 50Cent was still calm, even if it was calm on the surface, it was enough for Sid to look at him a few points.

Sid couldn't help but smile faintly in his heart, and then he continued: "I know that you grew up on the streets, and the rule on the streets is that the weak eat the strong, and anyone who shows a weak state will be attacked and eaten by other people. ”

"But-" Sid looked sharply at 50Cent, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and show a fierce expression, but Sid was not moved at all and continued: "You are no longer a street person now, if you still want to change your destiny and come from the street to the real stage." ”

"Then give me those street habits, in the future, you can't use a gun, if you want to attack someone, give me a rap to scold-" Sid stared at 50Cent with bright eyes, and his energetic eyes made 50Cent feel a lot of pressure.

The white agent on one side heard the meaning of Sid's words, and he raised his hand tremblingly and slightly, like a schoolboy in a Christian school.

Sid couldn't help but laugh "poof", which also eased the tension on the scene a lot, he looked at 50Cent's agent, and then nodded.

After the agent was allowed to do so, he cautiously said, "Well, if I heard you right, you still want 50 Cent to be your singer, right? Mr. Leon." ”

Sid smiled faintly and said, "Yes, I will indeed keep 50Cent." ”

As soon as Sid said this, several high-ranking officials of Fire Lion Records subconsciously made an "ah" sound, while 50Cent and his agent showed a happy expression.

"Don't be so happy. Sid said, "You're our first rap singer and our first foray into the hip-hop world. So, I decided to give you a second chance. But, 50Centβ€”"

Sid looked at 50Cent with a blank face, "Not everyone has a second chance, I think you understand this truth better than me." ”

Sid's words immediately hit 50Cent's pain point, and he showed a painful expression, his mother was shot and killed while working as a drug dealer on the street, and even several of his friends from his youth died in gang shootouts on the streets of New York at that time.

"Yes, sir, I will remember. 50Cent solemnly assured Sid.

"Good. Sid also nodded solemnly, "Remember your words, 50Cent, you are a man, keep your promise, and everyone will respect you." ”

"Thank you. Although 50Cent was a little surprised, he still solemnly thanked him.

"Then that's all for today, your recorded debut album "Poer of the Dollar", we have decided to release it in March next year, and when the publicity and other matters are concerned, Fire Lion Records will naturally negotiate with you. After a brief explanation, Sid stood up, and everyone in the conference room quickly followed suit.

Sid reached out and looked at 50Cent, "I haven't missed anyone yet, don't let me down, 50Cent." ”

50Cent immediately took Sid's hand and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I won't let you down." ”

"Good. Sid nodded, and then just when everyone thought that today's matter was over, Sid suddenly smiled faintly: "Oh, yes, I almost forgot something." ”

50Cent and everyone looked at Sid with a puzzled expression, and Sid said seemingly nonchalantly, "I still have something to trouble you, 50Cent." ”

"Just say there's anything I can help with. 50Cent didn't know what Sid was talking about, so he immediately agreed.

Sid smiled faintly and said, "Hehe, this is what you said, I want to ......"

The impact of "Saturday Night Live" on American entertainment culture is more profound than most people think. This spoof variety show, which was born from the hands of the previous Hollywood godfather Barry Diller, has a history of 25 years since its birth in 1975.

It is arguably one of the NBC network's most famous programs, and the biggest feature of the program is that it actively combines the hottest topics of the moment and uses spoof sketches to pinpoint current events.

Although the style of the sketch may seem too vulgar at times, it can also be seen as a mirror of pop culture.

At least many times, it has a non-negligible role in the acupuncture of current affairs. For example, in history, when George W. Bush launched the war against Iraq in the name of "mass murder," "Saturday Night Live" spoofed George W. Bush. As for the famous election campaign of Hillary Clinton Vs-CP the Great, it was even more hacked.

And when CP was later exposed to the "Golden Rain Scandal" in Russia, it was "Saturday Night Live" in the program, in which Cos-Putin's actor used a videotape with "Golden Rain" to blackmail the cos-CP actor's spoof, which further expanded the influence of this scandal.

In addition to the characteristics of these shows themselves, another reason why "Saturday Night Live" can have such a big influence is that quite a lot of well-known actors and comedy stars have come out of its stage. For example, Robert Downey Jr., the world-famous "Iron Man", walked out of the stage here.

As for the American comedy stars who have made their fortunes here, there are countless others, such as Tina Fey, the queen of North American comedy, and the popular comedy stars Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Will Ferrell, etc.

But one of the most obvious features of "Saturday Night Live" is the guests, they invite a guest performer and a musical guest in each episode.

And the performers must be the most popular and popular celebrities in the period at that time.

As the name suggests, the performers can join in the sketch performance for a spoof session to show off the spoof side of the stars, while the music guest is responsible for the live singing and dancing performances between the skits. At the same time, the guest performer will also be the host of the current program.
