Chapter 63: Decadent Eminem
Emnum, born on October 17, 1972, near Kansas, Missouri, USA, moved to Detroit with his mother at the age of 8.
During his childhood, due to his family's poverty, malnutrition led to short stature, and he was often bullied by white children of the same age, which also caused his worldview to become distorted, and his eyes saw the dark side of society.
Although Emnum was white, his best friends were all black, and none of them were white. This also caused him to fall madly in love with black music, rap and rap are his favorites.
It wasn't until 1997 that Emnum was favored by rapper Dr. Dre and embarked on the road of rap music.
If you just look at this story, Emnum is the quintessential 'American Dream' achiever, but things are far from so rosy.
The rap industry has always been a black world, and the rap lyrics are full of violence and obscenity. The dark culture of desecration, xรฌng, and so on. In order to quickly integrate Emnum into the 'black world', Dr. Dre added a lot of 'denigrating' elements to the two albums he made for Emnum, which caused white people to dislike Emnum.
But Emnum has his own very unique personality, and he doesn't want others to dominate his music, so he begins to oppose Dr. Dre's 'control' over him, and begins to follow his own personal expression.
In the following albums, words such as '' began to appear in his lyrics, which also made the black rap world stop being 'friendly' to him.
Emnum begins to be disgusted by both blacks and whites, and to make matters worse, in one of his songs, he portrays his mother as an alcoholic, gambler-addict. Although his mother was exactly like that, his mother took him to court in a fit of rage, and Emnum was left isolated by almost everyone.
In the two years since 2000, Emnum has not released a single record, has been riddled with lawsuits, has a bad life, and his ex-wife has divorced him. The most important person in his life, his daughter, was also sentenced by the judge to his ex-wife.
From then on, Emnum began to fall, and no one remembered him anymore.
These were the messages in Link's head, and when he heard that the white man who fell to the ground was Emnum, he understood why the blacks and whites in front of him were so disgusted with him.
Emnum, who fell to the ground, curled in pain, but there was still no expression on his face, and he struggled to his feet.
"Haha, look at this garbage, you still want to stand up? You only deserve to be a bed bug lying on the ground. โ
A black man came up with a grin and kicked Emnum hard. Emnham's body shook and spat on blood, but he didn't fall.
The whites laughed too, and I don't know who pushed Emnum over, shouting, ", this kid is your man, right?" Put this garbage back into your pants. Crotch, don't put it out again. โ
The blacks grinned too, and kicked Emnum back in a hurry: "White sรจ trash, go back to your garbage heap." โ
The whites and blacks kicked Emnum at each other, as if he didn't think of him as a person at all, but a broken doll that could be stepped on casually.
Even after being mistreated, Emnum remained silent, and Link could even see that his eyes didn't even fluctuate at all, as if his soul had been drained.
Link's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and as Emnum struggled to get up from the ground again, Link couldn't bear it anymore.
"You trash, moths, get out of here." Link walked up angrily, turned his head to look at the few bodyguards who were watching coldly, Link stretched out his hand and pointed at them, and said loudly: "You guys, if you want to lose your job, just continue to stand there." โ
A few bodyguards who were watching the excitement shrugged their shoulders, and when they heard Link's angry tone, they slowly surrounded him.
"Hey, guys, get out of here, don't bother us."
The two groups of whites and blacks walked away whistling while cursing loudly, and from time to time there was laughter, apparently in a good mood.
Emnum stood up without saying a word, and looked up to see a yellow-skinned palm reaching out.
"Need help?" Link's voice came.
Emnum wrapped himself in his clothes and limped away, not saying a word from beginning to end.
Link smiled bitterly and withdrew his palm, but he admired him very much in his heart, and at the same time a sense of regret rose that the other party had suffered such humiliation and abuse, but he didn't say a word, and his eyes didn't change.
At this moment, a black man rushed out of the villa, about fifty years old, with black and white hair, and hurriedly ran towards Emnum.
"Eminem, you stop me." The middle-aged black man was angry and said loudly: "You disappointed me so much, this opportunity is so rare, don't you want to cherish it?" I've convinced Mr. Billy Thornton that he agreed to let you enter the American Idol audition. Do you know what this means? โ
Emnum was still limping, and when he heard the other party's words, his body stopped and roared hoarsely: "Don't worry about my pile of garbage anymore, I don't care about the damn chance, don't follow me." โ
The middle-aged black man was disappointed and stopped to watch Emnum gradually blend into the night.
"Hello, is this Mr. Andrew?"
The middle-aged black man turned his head and saw a smiling Chinese man standing in front of him.
"Hello, I'm Andrey, are you?"
Link smiled slightly, "My name is Link, and it's nice to meet you." โ
"Link?" Andre was stunned for a moment, but immediately became enthusiastic as if he had thought of something: "It turned out to be Mr. Link, I have heard of your name for a long time. โ
Link chatted with the middle-aged man nicknamed Dr Dre for a while, and suddenly said, "Mr. Andre, I just heard you talk about American Idol?" โ
Andre nodded: "American Idol is a talent show from the United Kingdom, and the North American rights have been bought by FOX TV. Mr. Billy Thornton has already agreed to be the producer, so I will bring Eminem over to this drinking party, but I didn't expect it...... Alas. โ
Of course, Link knew exactly what "American Idol" was, but he couldn't help but laugh when he heard that Billy Thornton was going to be the producer.
"Mr. Andre, I have something I want to trouble you."
Link said, took out a pen and paper from his arms, wrote a string of words, and handed it to the other party.
"Please, give this to Eminem, it has my phone number on it, if he wants, the talent show held by CAA, I hope he can join."
Andre was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily: "I have heard of Mr. Link's CAA TV station for a long time, don't worry, I will definitely convince Eminem." โ
The two said goodbye, looking at each other's disappearing figures, and the smile on Link's face became even stronger.
Jessica on the side walked over and asked puzzledly, "You just said that you were going to do a talent show?" Shouldn't "The Walking Dead" be filmed? โ
Link smiled mysteriously: "It's just a sudden thought, anyway, "The Walking Dead" will be filmed for a long time." โ
After sending Jessica home, Link found a hotel to stay in, but he was still thinking about the draft.
Although Link had the idea of doing a draft a long time ago, and he had too many hot talent shows in his head, he never put it on the agenda.
But after having a bad fight with Billy Thornton tonight, Link's stubborn temper came up again, remembering Billy Thornton's humiliation of him at that time, Link didn't want to wait, he just wanted to kill that old right away. The son stepped on his feet, and a few more slaps to him were enough to relieve his hatred.
"American Idol? I'm going to turn you into American shit! โ
Link lay on the bed and sneered, the phrase 'I can't wait for later' could finally come true. Link has been through too many storms and waves, and in a few months, his xรฌng character has become more tenacious, even "Friends" can be thrown into the trash by him, and an "American Idol" will not be taken into his eyes.
Of course, Link naturally understands how popular "American Idol" will be in the future, and it can even be said that "American Idol" is the hottest of those talent shows in his head, but Link still wants to slack it.
Also, now that CAA Media Group has no money, getting Billy Thornton's humiliating revenge back is only one thing, and more importantly, the talent show is simple and profitable, which is naturally his first choice now.
