Chapter 519: Malibu

"I know you're upset, but you can't take all your anger out on Daniel, in front of so many people!"

The next afternoon, the two showed up at David Geffen's seaside villa in Malibu for a big party, and since last night's AMA awards ceremony, the two have had occasional frictions, with Mariah Carey in the ...... Lost to Whitney Houston in all the awards, in a bad mood, "I Will Always Love You has nothing to complain about losing to Whitney, that song is too well sung and the results are too good......"

Just talked about this matter, and quarreled again, Song Ya said: "The longest number of consecutive weeks on the singles chart, single sales, and movie soundtrack sales...... Wait, wait, that song is still a cover song like your Without You. Your music box album was only released at the end of last year, and there is a time disadvantage......"

"Can you stop nagging?"

She interrupted impatiently, "I'm not jealous of Whitney, I have a good relationship with her, but Daniel promised me at least a heavyweight award before, and the result?" Nothing, I don't think there's anything wrong with me complaining about a few words from him! ”

"But not in front of so many internal executives." Song Ya said, "I told you before. ”

"I know in my heart that no one cares if a female singer loses a few words at an executive, and it's more effective than saying it in private, and Daniel has to recognize the gap between him and Motura."

She shook off the hand holding Song Ya's arm and quickened her pace, "If you can't do it, don't make promises, I also specially prepared an expensive evening dress for the stage to receive the award." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Not going anywhere!"

She stopped in front of a famous painting on the wall, pouted and glanced back at herself, then shook her long hair proudly and turned away.

"Don't talk about that." Song Ya walked over to her side and put her arms around her waist.

"It's you who keep nagging......"

"I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood too." As a man, you must admit your mistakes in the end.

"What did you just talk to Mr. Geffing?" She asked.

"Business ......"

David Geffen was very unhappy with the progress of DTS's release, and he wanted to find Wall Street to enter the market this year, and then go public by the end of '95 at the latest, but he and Spielberg wanted to wait until the second batch of films using DTS surround sound technology, such as Dancing My Life and Interview with Vampires at Night, were released, and the two groups of people did not have a pleasant chat.

But Song Ya's unhappy point is not because of this, he has a lot of cash and he can't find a good project investment for the time being, plus I feel that Mariah Carey is spending more and more money, recently in Hollywood, I can keep hearing people talking about the NASDAQ exchange chairman Madoff's fund project with a very good rate of return, it just so happens that David Geffen and Spielberg have a good relationship with Madoff, so they want to find a way to invest their money in it first, which is better than depositing it in the bank and eating a meager interest. But I didn't expect to be rejected by them with tactful and a little contempt.

"Can you tell me?" Mariah Carey asked.

"Those Jews don't take us to play."

He looked around carefully before he lowered his voice.

Those Jews have their own way of playing, and they don't even want to invest money, I heard that if they want to join Madoff's fund to get high returns, they have to join some country club in Palm Beach and what golf club first, etc., the number of members is fixed, and only one can be supplemented by a newcomer who has been chosen, and it is full of secret society gameplay.

Jews are still in charge of the Federal Reserve, and Chairman Alan Greenspan, the old man who is known as the real leader of the United States behind his back, has just raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points, which has sent global financial markets by shock.

"Hmph, that's not strange." "That group of people never shows it openly, but the reality is that there is an invisible wall," she agrees. ”

"Hmm." Song Ya nodded, and wanted to say something, but she gently poked her in the ribs and stopped in time.

"It's beautiful......

The actor Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow walked over together, also admiring the painting they were staring at, and the two handsome men and women seemed to hook up, and their bodies were very close.

"APLUS, Miss Kelly......"

"Hey, Pete, Miss Paltrow." The four people who got together greeted each other and complimented each other.

"Ivana Chabock is teaching you too, right?" The personable Brad Pitt found a topic to talk about, "I've met girls over there arguing over there. ”

"Girls?" Mariah Kelly became alert.

"Yes, she's professional, what about you? Ivana has never seen you. Song Ya smiled and pulled away from the topic.

"I'm filming a night interview with a vampire, and that scene is so torturous." Brad Pitt complained, "The filming lasted for half a year, and nothing could be done." ”

"Wow, I'm going to report to David that you're complaining about him."

Gwyneth Paltrow is Spielberg's goddaughter, and David Geffen takes good care of her, "Don't ......," Brad Pitt smiled nervously.

"It's going to be ......"

"Well, what conditions do you have." The two flirted and scolded as if no one was around.

Song Ya and Maria Kelly rolled their eyes at the same time and walked away silently, "These paintings are valuable, aren't they?" She asked.

"Mr. Geffen is a big player in the art investment space." Song Ya replied.

Unlike Hollywood stars who always act as the big boss in the field of art, bigwigs like David Geffen can be regarded as half a trader, they buy paintings, and then cooperate with the legendary stories of Hollywood stars or artists who have owned them on the packaging of auction companies, and then naturally there are books and huge riches, Middle East oil trenches, and upstarts in the technology industry in the United States to take over, I heard that some actors will buy a little pat on the back in order to get a good role. It's a big and lucrative business.

"Let's just see." He was afraid that his impulsive spending girlfriend would go stupidly to take over.

"I can't read it anyway." Fortunately, she has a lack of interest in this field.

David Geffen's party is known for its handsome men and women and indulgence in pleasure, but today's party is very serious, in addition to those young walking hormones, there are also a lot of middle-aged and elderly white people, many of whom are Oscar judges, who are canvassing for Spielberg's movie "Schindler's List", and by the way, he is impressing his own Halloween nightly interview vampire released at the end of the year.

"Is it possible for your film to win an Oscar?" Mariah Carey asked.

"It's impossible to ......," Song Ah smiled, "Maybe the Best Soundtrack or something will hopefully be nominated, but I'm not going to put a lot of effort into it." ”

It is impossible for a commercial film like Dancing My Life to be favored by the old-fashioned Oscar judges, he is self-aware.

The two are in an average mood, as singers, they can't fully integrate into the Hollywood environment, and only passively communicate with some people, such as Madonna's ex-husband, the rumored talented movie star Sean Penn, and his current girlfriend Robin White looks a bit like Underwood's wife Claire, so Song Ya chatted with them politely.

“APLUS……”

In the end, the two chatted with fellow singer Billy Recellus, although the other party sings country music, and the two of them do not interfere with the river water, but in this environment, he is the only one who can have a common language.

"Do you know what the critics say about us? APLUS。 ”

He lived nearby with a handsome face, and he came alone, smiling bitterly and pointing at himself and Song Ya.

"Of course I do."

Song Ya also laughed, the two of them were sick and sympathetic to each other, the first album was a big sell, and then they didn't produce works, and now some music critics call them a single singer, compared to the popular Becky himself, the other party was scolded even worse, and was even called a single singer, saying that he was useless except for the famous song Achy Breaky Heart.

With a common language, the trio cursed the critics and slowly walked towards David Geffen's private beach.

"It's so fucking boring here, I want to go home and be with my daughter right now......"

The temperament of a country singer is incompatible with this kind of party, "Your daughter? How old is it? Mariah Carey asked.

"It's only a year old." He replied.

"Oh, she must be cute." Mariah Carey took off her high heels, carried them in her hands, and walked barefoot on the beach.

"Yes, it's cute, she's my angel." Billy Recellus said with emotion.

“APLUS?” At this time, a woman's voice sounded from behind.

The three of them turned around, it turned out to be Liang Tang's agent Pie Kingsley, an ordinary-looking middle-aged strong woman, there was a very tall woman standing next to her, blonde hair and red lips, very beautiful and aggressive, the sunset was already falling, this woman's skin was still white to shiny, it was Liang Tang's Australian wife Nicole Kidman.

"Hello." Song Ya greeted them.

"Talking alone?" Billkinsley offered to invite.

"Okay." Songya left Mariah Carey behind and walked away along the coastline with the other party.

"I just signed Fergie, you know." Pykinsley said.

"I know."

Song Ya knows that the woman in front of her is a top agent in Hollywood, one of CAA's top brands, and not only an agent, she also owns a PMK public relations company, which is running very well, so you must not simply look at her from the perspective of relying on Hollywood's top actor Liangtang to mix well in Hollywood.

"Although I'm not her main manager, I would say that her situation at A+ Records is now in a very awkward state."

Pykinsley's style seems to be very aggressive, straight to the point, "Her ex-agent didn't realize that after breaking up with you in that way, she would never be able to accept the songs you wrote anymore, right?" Otherwise, her personality will collapse, unless you get back together with her. ”

"That's what you think?" Song Ya did not answer positively.

"Yes, that's true."

She said, "Maybe you should let go, it's good for both of you." ”

"Is there a company willing to pay her liquidated damages?" Song Ya asked.

"That's a lot of numbers...... she shook her head, "for the sake of your old relationship, maybe it's better for both of you to negotiate a good price." ”

"Hah!"

Song Ya smiled, "That's how you talk about business?" Do you want me to give up my first white female hip-hop singer who became popular? I don't think anything is 'all good'. ”

"APLUS, I KNOW YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT BUSINESS, BUT IT'S STILL THAT PROBLEM, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE SONGS FOR PHIGIE ANYMORE, AND IF THE QUALITY OF HER SECOND ALBUM SUFFERS A BIG DECLINE, IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU, ISN'T IT? You might as well make a profit and walk away at the right time, just like the business you did with Dow. She replied.

"I've got some nice creators for her." Song Ya shook his head.

She shook her head as well, "Miss Phigi doesn't trust those hip-hop newcomers from Los Angeles. ”

"She doesn't have the right to question my arrangement." Song Ya felt a little like the duck and said, "Even if you become her agent." ”

"You'll get an offer."

"Unless that price is the same as the penalty figure."

"COME ON APLUS, ARE YOU SERIOUS?" She was full of momentum, "I thought you were a sensible young man who could handle business sensibly. ”

“WTF……”

Song Ya didn't bother to talk to this woman, "Who do you think you are?" I'm not too serious, but you'd better pray not to see me serious......"

"OK, your first impression on me is very strong APLUS."

She gave up the entanglement and turned her head back, "You'll get an offer." Nicole ...... It's time for us to go. ”

"I'm sorry." Nicole Kidman was chatting with Mariah Carey and Billy Recellus when Confession of Sin left after Billingsley.

"What a stunner." Billy Rysellus sighed at Nicole Kidman's back.

"How were you talking?" Songya and Mariah Kelly asked each other at the same time.

The two of them pouted at the same time, revealing unhappy expressions.

"Haha!"

Billy Recellus smiled at the tacit scene, "Well, I guess I should go too, sorry for the light bulb that I had been doing for so long." ”

The two of them smiled and looked at his back as he left, "I'm sorry, I was in a bad mood yesterday." Mariah Carey apologized in a rare way.

"It's okay, it's all trivial, and I have to apologize for my attitude."

Song Ya hugged her, and the two found a quiet place to sit down, buried their feet in the beach, snuggled together, and silently enjoyed the sunset.

I never came to the beach, or stood by the ocean

I never sat by the shore, under the sun with my feet in the sand

But you brought me here and I'm happy that you did

'Cause now I'm as free as birds catching the wind

She suddenly acted like a child, grabbed the sand and threw it on Song Ya's body, "hahaha......" and laughed.

"Damn." Song Ya's childlike innocence was also stirred up, and he grabbed a handful and was about to fight back.

She quickly got up and fled, and the two chased each other on the beach, fighting and fighting.

I always thought I would sink, so I never swam

I never went boatin', don't get how they are floatin'

And sometimes I get so scared of what I can't understand

"Be careful, be safe." Song Ya saw that she was about to run into the waves, and hurriedly shouted.

She stopped, turned around, and spread her hands, her golden curls fluttering in the sunset, unusually beautiful.

The two hugged each other affectionately, pulling out a long shadow on the beach.

But here I am, next to you

The sky's more blue in Malibu

Next to you in Malibu

Next to you
