Chapter 590: Damondash's Theory of Urban Popularity

MARIA KELLY IMMEDIATELY CALLED HER BROTHER MORGAN, MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET THE FAMILIES OF BOTH SIDES, AND SENT A PLANE DIRECTLY TO PICK UP THE WELL-KNOWN CHINESE WEDDING DRESS DESIGNER VERA WANG WHO WAS ON VACATION.

A fashion industry leader like Vivi Wang is not something that can be summoned casually, and she uses the name of inviting her to a housewarming party in her new home, so she inevitably has a big party.

"Welcome, NAS brothers."

Both of them called a lot of friends, especially people in the fashion industry, "Hey, Newman. After Songya and NAS bumped fists, they shook hands with Newman, his manager with Mariah Carey, "What about Daniel?" ”

"He's in the back, here."

Let NAS and his henchman in, Song Ya accompanied Newman to stand at the foot of the villa steps and wait, and saw Daniel leading Samantha Cole and his party over from a distance, the girl was holding the arm of Walter, who was divorced behind him, the two put their heads together and chatted very affectionately, and the honest and old-fashioned Walter was amused from time to time laughing.

"Is Walter okay with this?" Song Ya remembered that she auditioned for the dance I was not yet sixteen years old, so it must not be seventeen now, "Daniel doesn't care about his niece?" ”

"You got into the record business one day?" Newman was surprised.

"APLUS, NEWMAN."

When they walked in and shook hands, "Have you gone to see David?" Daniel asked.

"Mimi and I went yesterday, and he was so thin that I couldn't even recognize him."

Song Ya replied. David Cole, who has contracted HIV, is terminally ill and is estimated to have a few months left on his life," said Roberto Claywell. ”

"yes, that's a shame......"

Daniel lamented, "That disease was terrible. ”

"Let's talk about something happy." Newman looked at the topic a little heavy, "You've done a great job this year, Daniel, congratulations." ”

"Thank you." Daniel was also a little proud when he said this, "You really don't know how I survived the first full year. APLUS, I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR AGREEING TO PUT OFF ALL OF OUR BILLING OPERATIONS WITH A+ RECORDS UNTIL NEXT YEAR. ”

"Help each other, and the result will be good."

Song Ya knows that he is fighting fiercely with Motura people inside Sony Columbia Records, and in this case, the performance can surpass last year, which is already very powerful, with his big umbrella, he and his fiancée can save a lot of troubles, and they can help a little.

Everyone chatted a few words and walked into the villa together.

"Daniel! Walter! Welcome! Mariah Carey raised her champagne glass and exclaimed, as she gathered in a circle with Brenda, King Vivi, Patti Label and other women, and were chatting happily.

"Hey, Miss Kelly, Patty......" Daniel said as they went over to say hello.

"I'll show you around this new home!" Mariah Carey volunteered to be a guide.

Celebrities from the music and fashion scene were constantly coming in, as well as neighbors and local politicians, and the party quickly came alive with live bands.

"Gloria, Mr. Estéphine, welcome."

Song Ya saw Shakira in a large group behind the couple behind the couple of Sony Colombian Records, "Delícia, delícia, Assim você me mata......" and sang two apocalyptic songs Ai Se Eu Te Pego to the other party in beautiful evening clothes, "I recently learned a little Portuguese." ”

"It's pretty standard."

The girl was slightly stunned, but squeezed out a polite smile before taking advantage of the lonely mood, turned her head to continue chatting with her friend, passed by, and blocked Song Ya's question that she wanted to care about her next year's album.

"Honey!" Mariah Carey hurried out of the villa, "Galliano is almost here. ”

"Who?"

"John Galliano, famous, rumored to be a designer at Givenchy next year."

"Do you need to wait?"

"Top fashion designers have weird tempers."

Mariah Carey waited at the door, and soon a car drove into the villa, and the skinny, strange-looking Galliano got out of the car, dressed tastefully indeed, but it was not quite right when his male companion put on him the same black top hat as the exaggerated magician, the hat itself was fine, the point was that there were two rings of flowers around the brim......

"Welcome, John, thank you for coming."

No matter what status a woman is, in front of a fashion designer of this level, most of them have the motivation to have a good relationship with each other, and DIVA is naturally no exception, Mariah Carey quietly poked Song Ya with her elbow to look at the stunned Song Ya.

"I'm sorry, Jumping Pig." Song Ya stretched out her hand.

"Bonjour, but I'm British, so I can speak English." The other party shook hands and smiled, and went to hug Mariah Carey again.

"Uh...... Well, please come in. ”

John Galliano quickly integrated into Mariah Carey's circle of women, and Song Ya watched coldly, feeling that he was a GAY and didn't run, so he put his mind at ease.

Naturally, the fashion industry will bring a lot of men and women from the modeling circle, and soon, a large group of tall models will also come one after another, mostly women, and the party atmosphere will soon be brought into the carnival rhythm by the energetic women.

Song Ya unknowingly drank a lot of alcohol, so she also learned from the previous Rakim and Kane fathers, looking like hip-hop bosses and hosts, half-lying on the sofa to rest, surrounded by many newcomers in the music scene, from time to time guests and models came to say hello and acquaintance, and occasionally signed a name for the neighbor's child or something.

"APLUS, I'LL INTRODUCE YOU."

NAS led a white man in a blue striped shirt and a skateboard cap over, "James Jebia, a well-known buyer in Manhattan. ”

"Hello."

Song Ya chatted with the other party casually, this person's trendy brand store Supreme has just opened, specializing in skateboarding products and clothing, as well as using his personal fashion sense to buy various other brands of clothing and then resell them, so NAS called him a buyer, and he also helped NAS's trendy brand store.

"I'm not limited to skateboarding, young people nowadays don't want to be bound by any style, they can wear whatever they want, how they want to match it, as long as it reflects their unique personality......

Song Ya was listening to James Jebia's opinion, when suddenly someone from behind the sofa leaned over to his ear, "APLUS, is it convenient to talk alone?" ”

When Song Ya heard this black voice, she looked back and saw that it was Damon Dash, who had met twice, Jazzy's little brother who had been anonymously reported to the bureau by herself, and NAS called the most cunning guy in Brooklyn.

“What!? Hey! How did you get in here!? ”

It is impossible for him to invite such a person, Song Ya immediately asked loudly, and by the way, he also sent a signal to the bodyguard.

Two bodyguards rushed over, one grabbed Damon Dash's neck with one arm from behind, and the other dragged him out with his waist hugged.

"APLUS, GIVE IT A CHANCE, LET'S TALK." He begged to be dragged away.

That's when everyone noticed that he was wearing a pair of waiter's pants, which he should have sneaked in through a party service company.

There was a small commotion among the nearby guests, "I thought he was your henchman." Mawota came over to NAS and said, "He's been hanging behind you just now. ”

"We didn't even notice someone ...... behind," the NAS attendant muttered.

This guy is really cunning, "Why don't you hear what he's trying to do with you, APLUS." "His boss, Jazzy, couldn't get out of jail for a while, and he heard that he was involved in the violence inside, and his sentence was increased," NAS said. ”

It's still the normal operation of NGer, many people steal and steal one after another, and they have been sentenced to prison for more than ten years, and there are all kinds of grievances in prison that cannot be avoided, especially for young black people.

"What's wrong? My dear. Mariah Carey also came over and asked.

"It's nothing, there's a waiter who has mixed in, let's talk about it when the party is over." Song Ya comforted her. Suddenly, he saw a blonde waitress standing against the wall opposite with a tray in tow, and it felt a little familiar no matter how he looked at it.

After a few more glances, I remembered that the flight attendant in the original cat and mouse game met Xiao Lizi on the plane and then rolled the sheets......

"Brother NAS." It didn't take much effort to get there, but it was hard for me to talk to him, so I had to ask the NAS to come, "Can you help me get the girl's contact information?" Keep a low profile, don't say I'm going to do it. ”

"Huh?"

NAS first glanced at the back of Mariah Carey, who had just turned around and had not gone far, and then looked at Song Ya with admiration, "You are really good Brother APLUS, no problem, look at me." He gave a heartfelt thumbs up before leading his attendant in a circle to approach the waitress.

He misunderstood, but since the girl was still a waitress, it must have been easy for NAS to ask for a call, and it was still early before the cat-and-mouse game started filming, and he was not in a hurry.

At this time, the person in charge of the party service company came over to apologize in person when he heard the news, Song Ya waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, but he would definitely not use this service in the future, and let the idle people in society mix into the waiter team, this kind of company cannot be trusted by celebrities.

"Pre-wedding party...... Las vegas...... Gigolo...... Carnival ......"

When the party was a little late, many celebrities left one after another, and Song Ya was about to find Mariah Carey to see Daniel off with her, when she saw Brenda dancing loudly and saying something to her, and some words came into her ears, she couldn't help frowning, "What are you talking about so happy?" ”

"Hey Man! The groom-to-be is on the sidelines, it's a secret that belongs to our girls! OK? "Brenda should have drunk a lot too, and directly used the black aunt tone to drive people away.

"Huh?" Song Ya glared at her.

She seemed to remember that it was her boss in front of her, and she pouted and didn't dare to speak.

"What are you talking about? I just heard ......"

Asking his fiancée to hold his arm, he asked on the way to see Daniel off.

"It's just a pre-wedding party, you shouldn't ask, go to your best man Dillay and talk to them about your own." She didn't want to say it either.

It seems that men and women in the United States do have the habit of being taken to the carnival for one night or a few days by their respective friends before marriage, and the show is generally arranged by the friends, so ...... It's going to be crazy.

Song Ya subconsciously raised his head, he didn't wear a hat today, "Can't you cancel this link?" I think it's ...... It's a bad habit, isn't it? ”

"You're really moodless sometimes, darling."

She casually refused, "Hey, Daniel, are you leaving?" "Concentrate on communicating.

Forget it today, Song Ya decided to go back and force her to dispel her thoughts.

"That guy is still waiting for you." At about two or three o'clock in the morning, Old Mac came and reminded, "He won't go." ”

"Who?" Song Yaren was already in a daze on the sofa.

"The one who used the service company to sneak in, I had him thrown out, but he still lingered near the gate of the villa." "He didn't seem to be driving." ”

Song Ya thought about it, at this point in time, in this kind of area, it is difficult to walk without a car, and a black man wandering in a rich area at night may be arrested by the responsible patrol officer at any time, "Forget it, it's okay anyway, I'll listen to what he wants to say." ”

Old Michael brought Damon Dash back, of course, he searched his body beforehand, and Song Ya chose to see him in the new study here, "Tell me, what's the matter with you?" If you want me to help your eldest brother get out of prison, you won't be able to help a dealer. ”

"No, don't worry, APLUS, I thank you so much for giving me this opportunity......"

Damon Dash is very good at talking among black people from the bottom, which Song Ya learned last time, and this time the other party did not use a hip-hop tone, which is even more obvious, and even occasionally pops up a few advanced words, "Actually, to put it simply, I want to be your follower and do things for you." ”

"That's it? I don't need a follower anymore. Song Ya refused.

"The ...... you need," said Damon Dash, "I feel some money on the ground and you don't pick it up, or you don't see it." ”

"Money?"

"Yes, like braggart daddy, a lot of his business, like suits, t-shirts, ......"

"He learns from me." Song Ya interrupted the other party, no singer's clothing business is as big as it is now, "It's just a trendy brand store that is doing well." ”

"I haven't finished talking yet, there are other things, alcohol, you haven't paid attention to it, have you? Hosting parties and small shows? Damon Dash continued.

"It's nothing more than relying on popularity to bring goods."

Song Ya dismissed, the East and West Coast hip-hop singers have been dissing each other for more than half a year, and the braggart dad did rely on that incident to attract a lot of attention, and his tailor-made debut album for Biggie, Ready To Die, also sold very well, and Biggie was also called a figure on the East Coast who could stand shoulder to shoulder with 2PAC in the New York music media.

But when it comes to making money, the braggart dad can't see his own taillights yet.

"No, I think you're a lot more popular than braggart daddy or Biggie, why don't you pick up all this money? No one thinks they're too rich, right? ”

Damon Dash asked, "Do you know what's popular in the city?" APLUS。 ”

“City Pop? The style of music that is popular over there in the book.,It's been a long time.。 Song Ya replied.

"Yes, the city, the pop, the city leads the pop, the city life during the economic boom is the soil that creates that kind of music, and what about the current rice city? When it comes to night, it's our old black world, so we, no, black superstars like you can naturally lead the trend of people's nighttime consumption, can't we? ”

"It's interesting, go on."

Song Ya remembered that Rick Rubin had said a similar theory to himself before, no matter how poor a black person is, he is still a city person, and the things in the city must be fashionable......

"What do people consume at night? Nightclubs, bars, and parties like yours here. You started the Fluorescent Nights, but I thought you'd continue to tap into the potential of that, but I didn't expect you to do something else, and of course your other business is very successful. Damon Dash said.

"I don't want to get involved in the ......nightclub and bar business," Song Ya shook her head.

"You've forgotten a consumer product."

"Wine?"

"Yes, in New York alone, how much do people drink each night? It's a gold mine APLUS......"

"The cost of winemaking is high, the cycle is long, and it is basically the world of large multinational companies, and it is even more difficult to do high-end, and the French have a very good set."

"There are many varieties of alcohol, just because people like to drink fresh, especially cocktails, so the base wine market for cocktails has not been eaten clean by big brands, especially vodka, the cost is not high, the consumption is large, many good brands are concentrated in Eastern Europe and Maozi, and now it is very cheap."

"I'm going to bring vodka?"

"Yes, that's right, that's what it means, you'll make money with APLUS. Even more than just bringing goods, you can work with vodka companies to make a diffusion product, exclusive to your brand. ”

Damon Dash said: "While not necessarily as successful as your clothing and chemical factory business, why not pick up the money right in front of you?" I wanted to wait for Jazzy to go into this business when he became popular, but now that he's in, and since I wasn't in New York at the time, the sentence was the lightest, and they suspected that I had betrayed the place where I hid things......"

Song Ya smiled but did not speak.

"How? Is this idea worth taking me in? Damon Dash asked.

"Maybe, but I'll have to talk to a professional about it, old Mike, and send a car to take him back." Song Ya took out a small roll of banknotes from the drawer and threw it to the other party.

"Isn't that giving me my money?" Damon Dash asked, holding a few hundred knives.

"You don't have to doubt my credibility, but now your words haven't been verified, so ...... That's all for the time being, so let's save some flowers. ”

Song Ya sent him away, and after a little thought, he called Song Asheng, "Old Song, is Chinese vodka domestical?" Not producing? What about wine and champagne? It's rare, isn't it? No, no, you can't drink it here in the country of liquor......"

After chatting and talking, the next day he asked some professionals, picked the historic Changyu Distillery there, and sent Song Asheng to make a trip, planning to negotiate a joint venture with the other party first, and then find a way to buy a vodka distillery in the east of Maozi, and then open a secondary brand for the rice market, specializing in vodka, wine and champagne.

The name, he remembered that when the Apocalypse London Bridge Song Grey Goose was called, the lyrics mentioned that there was a kind of wine called Grey Goose, but he looked around and found that there was no such brand on the market at all, and now it can be used.
