Chapter 642: They all thought I was a liar
In the wee hours of the morning, Song Ya remained busy in the A+ Records office, only to stop and breathe a sigh of relief when she reached for the basket of unprocessed documents and found that it was empty.
He hates to be cheated, so he maintains a high degree of concern for any kind of investment under his umbrella, especially for the familiar record industry, which he can understand and endure to read boring accounting statements and legal documents. What needs to be solved urgently now is that he is full of problems of playing with concepts and new fake technology breakthroughs in the IT industry blind people touching the elephant, although there is the apocalypse, the apocalypse has also made him money, but it is not enough, the 3DFX incident is a good wake-up call, the industry where hot money is pouring into is now rampant with scammers.
"Gulf Stream leaves tomorrow morning, you can still sleep."
Linda yawned and came over to help clean up.
"I go to sleep on the plane to save the time wasted waking up in the morning." Song Ya said.
"You're the most favorite working Nger I've ever met." Linda smiled and helped him put on his coat, "You will be our leader in the future, I have this confidence now." β
"Looks like you don't think very badly of me?" Song Ya quipped.
"It's an honor to work under you." Linda complimented from the bottom of her heart, "That girl who dreamed of Hollywood, Tarraghi, she hasn't woken up yet, what an opportunity she lost." β
"Everyone has their own dreams, Linda, Tarraghi loves to perform, there's nothing wrong with her chasing her dreams, and in a way I admire her for making the decision to leave me."
Remembering that she was going to lend Highland Park to her for two days after she left Chicago, Song Ya asked, "By the way, when did the party she helped Juliana Margaris start?" β
"The time is undecided, in fact...... She lied to you, Juliana didn't expect much to throw a party at your Highland Park home, she just wanted it, and Juliana's distress was just a reason for her to ask you for help. β
Linda had already seen through it, but she never said it, "Taragi is eager to prove his influence through some small means in the story crew of the emergency room, such as being able to easily borrow an APLUS mansion for a party." β
"That's right."
Song Ya smiled, "You know, Linda, I don't hate girls with this kind of scheming, it's too stupid to survive on their own." β
"That's why you chose to marry one of the most successful female singers of our time, right?"
Linda also smiled, "It's hard to find a woman who is of African descent and can live well without relying on yourself at all, for example, you just gave Miss Kelly a Malibu mansion, and she immediately quietly bought a Bahamian island in return." β
βWTFοΌοΌ That ruined woman! Let's go, old Mike, to the airport! I'm going to get to New York as fast as I can. β
Song Ya's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she rushed out of the office at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
New York, Bedford Hills, "We send it this way, it's all cheap for those real estate agents and lawyers, Mimi, I bought a house in Malibu because we both have film projects in Los Angeles and need to live there often, how many days a year can I go to the small island of the Bahamas?" Considering we were all busy......"
Song Ya persuaded his fiancΓ©e bitterly.
Mariah Carey rolled her eyes, "I don't have any secrets from you, do I?" She walked over to the table, with stacks of white invitations on it, and her assistant and the others were busy with it, piling up the 'mountain' of invitations.
As DIVA, there are many more people who rely on her to eat directly than Song Ya, in addition to the assistant and main backing singer Terre Lorenz who she spends her own money to support, there is also a group of about 20 people composed of bucket aunts similar to the size of the TANK group, these people Sony Columbia Records will be responsible for most of the expenses, and a small part will be paid by herself, as well as Sony Columbia Records' makeup artists, hairstylists, stylists, nutritionists, and a team of dancers, agents, lawyers, accountants, bodyguards, etc.
The maids, gardeners, and bodyguards in this mansion were also hired by her, and Song Ya paid for similar expenses for Tribeca's house, Highland Park, Malibu and other properties.
She also had a few bodyguards hired by Song Ya by her side.
Now that the wedding is approaching, these people have all been sent by her to come in handy, and they are also in order.
"Don't talk that nonsense, dear, let's get down to business, I've been worrying about the wedding all along......" She was still dressed at home and pressed her hand on a stack of invitations, "This is the guest my assistant can invite by calling." β
Then press the other stack, "These people are invited by Linda." β
"I'll call these personally."
"It's up to you to call it yourself."
"We're talking on the phone together."
"These people were invited in person when you met."
"I've personally invited this bunch in person."
"This part of the two of us invited ...... in person"
"You are responsible for reconfirming whether you will be there for this part, leave these to me, and we will ...... these together."
Song Yadu almost fainted, "Is it so troublesome?" Mimiγ β
"What do you say? I don't want even the slightest bit of chaos in my big wedding. She casually grabbed a landline on the table, "Hurry up and get to work!" Right away! β
"Okay, okay......"
The two of them began to talk on the phone, "Mr. Underwood, at the end of this month...... Yes, my wedding, you're convenient, okay, no problem, then I'll have the assistant and Doug communicate the seat? That's fine, I'll ask Linda to call your wife directly. β
Song Ya hung up the phone, and the assembly line generally wrote down the results of the personal communication quickly, handed the note to Linda, and she would take care of the rest.
"Hey, Michelle, you and ...... Yes, at the end of the month, the 27th, haha, it was the same day as the Oscars. I? No, I didn't make the cut, didn't want to go, huh...... You're coming, aren't you? Ok ......"
It's getting busy in the dark, "APLUS, someone from Marvel Studios has found this place. β
"I'm sorry, Mimi, I'm going to meet a guest." He threw away the microphone and took the opportunity to be lazy.
"Hello, APLUS, I heard that you are working on a project with Hollywood Pictures, and the director has already been decided, is it Ridley Scott?"
Marvel Studios has a strong lineup led by President Scott Sals this time, "Invest more than 20 million? β
"It's all spreading?" Song Ya only knew that the storyboard script was nearing completion, and Hollywood Studios might officially release the news of the upcoming casting.
"yes, and I heard you're planning to invest in another African-American film?" Scott Sals laughed, "Then why not invest in the Black Panther, an African-American hero, or a Blade Warrior?" Both roles are perfect for you, and you can star in them entirely. β
It turned out that the other party's purpose was this, and he continuously invested in a pure white, a film project starring almost a pure white lineup, in order to calm the gossip of the black group, Song Ya was ready to shoot a small production film with absolute black elements, with an investment of less than a hundred dollars, and now it is still in the stage of looking for a script, but it immediately attracted people from Marvel.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
Song Ya casually signed the document handed over by Linda, and happily ridiculed the other party, "Do you think my money is really so easy to cheat?" You can't even fool around with LL Cool J and still want to try it on me? β
"WE DON'T MEAN THAT AT ALL, MR. APLUS."
Marvel Studios is not its parent company, Marvel Entertainment, and its influence within the company is far less than that of the comic department, Scott Sals hurriedly defended, "We really feel that you are the most suitable person to play Black Panther or Blade, we really like your debut in my life, your acting skills are perfect." β
This time, even Linda next to her smiled.
"Come on, I don't need your compliments against your will. Don't think I don't know where you are now, your parent company's stock price is taking a big dive, your boss Perelman is under federal investigation, and you can't protect yourself, your way of giving a superhero limited edition card to each comic book, so that readers have to buy at least five comic books of the same issue if they want to collect a complete set of cards, is no longer bought by the market, Major League Baseball is on strike, and your affiliate's star card business is also in a cold winter. β
Song Ya is now angry with this kind of guy who regards himself as a Kaizi, and ruthlessly punctures the other party's external strength, "You guys are almost finished now, don't want to cheat money from me as the last straw, and I don't read comics." β
Scott Sals and the others were squeezed into ashes, and Song Ya laughed at their backs.
"Don't be lazy! Keep up the work! Mariah Kelly appeared behind him.
I had to obediently continue to sit in front of the telephone.
But after a while, someone came again, this time from Anschutz Entertainment.
They are a very strong performing arts agency, and they also have a large layout in the sports industry, because they own some shares of many super stadiums, and they have a unique advantage in organizing large-scale concerts.
This time it's a serious matter, Song Ya plans to sign her tour to test the waters at the end of the year at their house, and abandon the acting company commonly used by Sony Columbia Records.
The details of the cooperation between the two parties have been negotiated through William Morris, and this time it is officially signed.
"Although I haven't heard of your second specialty, we are very confident in you, and this cooperation can also prove our sincerity." After the exchange of documents was signed, Anschutz's man held out his hand, "Happy cooperation." β
"It's a pleasure to work with."
According to this contract, Song Ya will first open a small unplugged concert on MTV in November, singing about five or six songs without any sound fixing, and then open four short-term concert tours with a scale of 10,000 people in December, and the concert sponsors have been negotiated with Dow Light Sticks, as well as their own A+ clothing, and the follow-up sponsors will be followed by Sony Columbia Records and Anschutz.
If the response is good enough and all parties are satisfied with the cooperation, they will immediately discuss the cooperation in '96, and then Mariah Carey's larger 96 tour and its own concert business will also be contracted to each other.
"Oh, yes." The manager who came to sign seemed to remember something, and suddenly started another topic, "Are you interested in investing in the sports industry?" Buy a team or something. β
"Buy a team?" Song Ya didn't think about this at all now, "This is usually a big toy that successful rich people only buy when they want to enjoy life, right?" β
"No, new team, new field."
Anschutz's man said: "We are the leading company in the United States Football League, you know APLUS, last year's ticket sales for the World Cup in the United States were good, we have taken advantage of the opportunity to invest and integrate some teams, and we have begun to dominate the operation of this new sports league, Chicago, as one of the three major cities in the United States, has not joined a football club now, so, are you interested?" Become a member of our big league. β
"Hahaha! Do people in the United States watch football? β
Song Ya and Linda laughed again, "Did you hear any rumors, they all came to me today to cheat money?" You think I'm a liar!? Well? β
"No, the people of the United States actually don't hate football that much, as evidenced by last year's World Cup." Anschutz's people explained, "The growing Latino population in the United States, and the new immigrants in Europe are very fond of it, and both parts of the population are not interested in sports like rugby. β
"World Cup tickets sell well just because the people of the United States like to join in the fun, but the league? With all due respect, I don't think there will be any good end, whether it's football, baseball, basketball, ice hockey, there are many years of deep mass base in the United States, you don't let your child play football, the boy who joins the school football team will be considered a sissy, you won't donate to the football team of your alma mater after you have a successful career, no one collects commemorative cards of local football stars, and there is no football atmosphere in the community, why do you think that everyone will suddenly like and support this sport? β
Song Ya smiled and teased, "Could it be that the results we achieved last year by relying on the advantage of the host made you swell." β
"Everything has to start from scratch, doesn't it? What long-established league wasn't in a difficult situation when it was first created? β
Anschutz's people are much more skilled than Marvel's people, "Mr. APLUS, think about it, more than a hundred years later, when you mention the local Chicago football team, everyone will say, oh, the founder is APLUS, the most popular hip-hop singer in the nineties of the twentieth century." β
"Again, my money isn't so ......"
Halfway through Song Ya's refusal, the apocalypse came to her mind, or the magic of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night football movie, and the two middle school teams were running to the field to the cheers of the entire stadium......
Apocalypse has revealed, will football really become popular in the United States in the future? Possibly! After all, it is the number one sport in the world......
He hesitated.
"Does what I mean by making sense?" Anschutz's people watched the words and struck while the iron was hot.
"I'll think about it." Song Ya didn't say anything this time, "Your team in Chicago is already preparing?" β
"Yes, the name is tentatively Chicago Fire."
