Chapter 580: Take Control of Yourself

3DFX was a sensation at the show, and Jimmy said that when he arrived in California, there were already people and institutions who wanted to participate in the pre-investment process, and some people even sent a check directly to their business address in San Jose, offering to cash in before talking about specific venture capital contracts.

"What do you think?" Song Ya asked, "Will they accept my investment?" How much does it cost to get more shares? ”

"Uh...... I don't understand what graphics acceleration card ......"

Jimmy asked, "Can you get a couple of experts to go with me to San Jose?" ”

"Let's find Delay." 3DFX has a lot of potential, and Song Ya doesn't want to ask other friends in the industry for help, "Let him send someone to you." ”

Hang up, "APLUS! APLUS! APLUS! The urging of the tsunami outside caught his ears, and when the busy makeup artist and stylist around him had finished it, he left the backstage and returned to the center of the stage.

The cheers were deafening, and a few die-hard fans in the front row hugged their heads and broke down and cried on the spot, "I love you!" The girls screamed loudly and waved the glow sticks in their hands desperately.

He cooperated with Dow in a small concert in Los Angeles, which is one of the endorsement tasks, the scale is not much larger than the fans in the past, but the form is a lot more formal, and it is also his first concert to sell tickets, the average price is only 20 dollars, and the ticket also comes with five light sticks, nearly 5,000 tickets were sold out within a few days of sale, Dow sponsored MTV, ready to jointly record the concert live direct program.

It was also his first concert, and the decision to do it with Dow and Sony Columbia Records was made in a hurry, and in order not to make the scene too monotonous, the acting company hired dancers who had worked with me in my life to help dance with them, and they also danced what I had already practiced in my life.

"LA friends! I love you! ”

Dressed in a long-sleeved T-shirt and jeans, he dropped his hat off the stage and coolly held the standing microphone, "Beautiful girls! ”

There was already a sea of glow sticks in the audience, people continued to scream, and a girl riding on her boyfriend's shoulder grabbed her hat and was so excited that she almost fainted on the spot.

“You're way too beautiful girl……”

When the accompaniment sounded, he began to sing, this time choosing the A+ first album and dancing out of the eight songs that are not too difficult and popular in the soundtrack of my life, in the middle Al will help with the scene, and be responsible for the help part of the hip-hop song.

"The last song, Be What You want to Be, welcomes the kids ......"

Be What You want to Be and Gang B won two consecutive weeks, and in the third week he was challenged by Boyz II man's I'll Make Love To You from Champion singles regular, and his main goal now is to keep the top spot in Week 3.

Chicago Boys' Choir enters the stage, "Doctor, actor, lawyer or a singer......"

Thousands of viewers relaxed as catchy inspirational songs flowed, and glow sticks in their hands were played with the effect of Mexican waves, forming a gentle sea of colored light under the night sky of Los Angeles.

"Thank you! Thank you guys! ”

At the end of the song, he stared at the stage, couldn't help but be a little touched, and bowed deeply.

"Encore, encore! APLUS! APLUS! ”

Back backstage, the audience still refused to leave, shouting in unison.

"Let's go out and sing again."

The acting manager, Le Hehe, came over and begged: "Your fans are very, APLUS, and your typhoon is also very likable." ”

"yes, maybe you can have two more shows in Chicago and Detroit at the end of the year." Dow's entourage also laughed: "The workers will like it." ”

"Sing what? Say Goodbye? Song Ya asked.

"Don't ......," Linda thought for a moment, "why don't you dance the dance that you did at the end of my life?" ”

"Okay, I'll talk to the dancers."

Song Ya walked to the large dressing room where the dancers were resting, "Hey, everyone, let's add another song?" ”

With the strong accompaniment of Bout It, Song Ya and the dancers rushed back to the stage, and he prepared a new hat to wear handsomely on his head during the dance.

The whole concert reached its climax.

"I'm tired."

The audience dispersed, and there was a mess under the open-air stage, countless glow sticks were discarded on the ground at will, as well as other paper cups and other sundries, Song Ya dragged a chair and sat on the stage like this, watching the staff clean up.

"Rest well, brother."

Al came over and patted him on the shoulder, "Maybe it's not far from you going on a world tour." ”

"Yes, I didn't expect the effect to be so good this time, I didn't make any deliberate preparations, and they only started to prepare temporarily after the decision to suspend school."

Song Ya replied lazily, sweating from the hot dance just now, blowing a cool breeze here by the way.

Al sat casually on the floor next to him, "Remember the days we used to have?" I slept on your bunk, but a few years ago. ”

Song Ya also smiled, "You're always playing games, so I can't even sleep well." ”

"Hey, guys."

At this time, Taraghi appeared under the stage, "You are late to APLUS. She looked up and blamed.

"Oh......" Song Ya remembered, and originally wanted to say that after the concert, she dressed up and let her take her to the black community movie theater to watch a dance that was still being screened for a long time, and by the way, to observe the reaction of ordinary audiences.

"Hey, Taraghi, do you have to stay in Los Angeles to develop?" Al asked her, "Did you get a new role?" ”

"No ......"

Taragi smiled bitterly, "Everyone else got it, but I didn't, I'm in an acting class......"

"Where do you live now?" Song Ya asked her.

"I rented a small apartment, in the city." Taragi pouted, "Are you going to sit down?" I can have a party there and call your dancers and backing singers. ”

"Shall we go play?" Al became interested, "How about I call someone?" APLUS。 ”

"You're also responsible for buying food and drink, I don't have any money." Taraghi said.

"No problem......"

As soon as I said let's go, I heard that there was a party, and the dancers and backing singers immediately drove to the scene lively.

"When did you live separately from Amy?" Al and the dancers went to buy wine and food, Song Ya and Linda followed her into the door first, it was just a small one-bedroom apartment, and the neighbors were all people who worked hard in Hollywood like her, the surrounding environment was not bad, and the living conditions were already better than most low-level young people in Hollywood.

Song Ya asked casually, picked up a bunch of newspapers and magazines at her bedside and read them, all of them were film reviews or gossip about dancing out of my life, and many of the news on the inside pages had been cut out, which should be Taragi's old habit of collecting news briefings about herself.

"She's much more earning than me now, and I heard Hayden say that she has a lot of film contracts now, as well as NOKIA's endorsement contract, some print ads are also talking, and she rents a nice little single-family house in an upscale community......"

Taragi replied: "And I still need to keep running auditions to find opportunities, it is no longer convenient to live with her, and our living environment and level are starting to widen." ”

"What about Terrence Howard? Didn't he help you? Linda asked.

"He helped me with a few auditions, but ......"

Taragi shrugged, "My acting credentials are nowhere near as good as his, and often he passes and I get brushed off in the first two rounds. ”

'APLUS's acting skills are not good, everyone can see this, but it is not difficult for the actor to play himself in life, as far as this movie is concerned, his performance is not bad, and he interprets the temperament of the male protagonist street boy very well, and there is a unique taste of simplicity......

'With a production cost of 10 million and a global box office of 100 million, APLUS used a youth song and dance film to achieve this achievement, a dance film...... Not many people were optimistic about Dancing My Life before it was released, but APLUS did it. I don't know why, but he always does things well, music, movies, and maybe his studies and investment. ’

Film critics are stingy about dancing out of my life that is still in theaters, but in reality the reaction within Hollywood is completely opposite to that of film critics, and many studios are starting to look for young and beautiful men and women who want to dance well and preferably have a good voice. ’

Song Ya casually flipped through those media reports, and unexpectedly basically made positive comments, and joked to Taraghi, "This is not like you, shouldn't you collect newspapers and magazines that scold me?" ”

"I don't scold you much." Taraghi rolled his eyes, "It's too late to tout the winners here. ”

"What are you going to do?" Linda asked her, "I don't mind if you come back and continue to be an assistant at APLUS, A+ records are very busy, and there are William Adams and their first album and Common's second album to be released in the second half of the year." ”

"I love acting, and I want to work hard."

Taraghi refused, "What do you say about the sequel to my life?" She inquired about the news she was most concerned about.

"Uh......" Song Ya hesitated, shook her head and said: "I don't plan to continue to participate, and it's not certain whether to continue to use Amy, Universal wants to lower the age of the male and female protagonists of the sequel to better cater to the target audience......"

"The big change?" Taraghi sighed in disappointment, "Then I'm out of play, right?" ”

Song Ya acquiesced, "Maybe I can arrange a role like a sister for you, Universal needs the characters in the sequel to have some connection with the previous one, so as to facilitate the continuity of the story." ”

"Don't, forget it, don't tear up the big company for me, I know you have paid a lot for the characters of Amy and me in the first part, what you should do and what you shouldn't do......" Taragi still refused.

"Okay." Song Ya didn't insist, even if she was given a role, it would not be possible to have as many scenes as the first part, which would not help her career much.

"Didn't you get a single role?" Linda asked.

"I got one and played a supporting role in the story of the emergency room of Amperin Entertainment's TV drama project." Taraghi replied.

"That's not bad." Linda comforted her, "That kind of TV series often changes the script according to the audience's response after each episode is broadcast, and there are often outstanding supporting roles that are turned into main roles." ”

"Edited?" Song Ya really doesn't know much about the practices in the TV drama industry.

"Yes, the filming cycle of TV dramas is long, and actors often change jobs halfway, so in order not to affect the main plot, screenwriters often write an important character to death, or add some fresh blood to please the audience." Linda said.

"Hey! What about music? We need music! At this time, Al, who had bought wine, brought people in, and the small two rooms quickly became lively.

The party culture of the United States has no requirements for the venue, even if the room is crowded, you can still dance and chat with a paper cup filled with wine, and have a lot of fun.

"Boss, do you need me to help you relieve your fatigue?"

In the second half of the night, some people had already left, and Song Ya had also drunk a lot of wine, and was lying on Taraghi's small bed pretending to sleep, and she quietly got into her arms.

"No, thank you, Taragi, no." He laughed.

"I'm a little confused about whether you're a lust or a hypocrisy, you're a little pervert, or a little pervert who has such a strong desire to control women......" Taragi grumbled with some frustration.

"Actually, there is no conflict, those who have a deep desire to control others and relax their requirements are hypocritical, but I am not, I do like to control others, but I can control myself even more." Song Ya replied.
