Chapter 210: Queen of Funk

"Hey, Ed, tell me, how do you need my media empire to help you?"

"Interview!" Edward replied immediately.

"Interview?"

"Yes, of course, there are other aspects, but I hope that you can give Hansen an interview as soon as possible so that he can have the opportunity to explain his theory in full."

"Actually, if you've listened to his speech, you'll see that this guy's views are very much in line with yours." Edward added.

"Consistently? He also likes Monroe's nudity? Hefner made a joke.

He especially likes to talk about Monroe, and Monroe is indeed the goddess of the times.

To put it mildly, Hefner must have been jerking off to her posters when he was younger.

Then again, who wouldn't cast a spell on a normal man?

Secondly, it was precisely because of Monroe's large nude insertion that the first issue of "Playboy" directly sold as many as 50,000 copies, laying the foundation for victory in one fell swoop.

Hearing him talk about Monroe, Edward's mind turned, and he also diverted the topic.

"Hugh, do you like Monroe very much?"

"Of course, I want to sleep with her in my dreams!" Hefner looked a little sad, "But neither JFK nor God gave me a chance. Damn, I really shouldn't have donated to the Democrats! ”

"I have an idea, you can refer to it"

"How?" Hefner was curious

"I suggest you buy the cemetery next to Monroe's graveyard now, so that you can sleep with her! And you can sleep forever and ever! ”

Hefner froze, and didn't say a word for several seconds.

"God, Ed you're a genius, you're a genius, that's great, I didn't think of that idea! I knew I wouldn't be auctioning off those relics, because they weren't of much use! ”

"But the cemetery next to her! That's great! That's great! I could sleep next to her forever! ”

"The downside is that you may have to wait a long time...... It's long, long......"

Edward vaguely remembered that the big guy had lived for a long time......

"No, no, no, as long as I buy the cemetery, then I have hope. No, no, no, it's a mess. You're such a wizard that you want to die and don't want to die at the same time! But I still have to say, I really like the idea! Really, love it so much! ”

"Wait a minute"

Hefner moved to the other end of the couch, where there was a small coffee table with two telephones on it.

He picked up the telephone receiver, and the speed of his speech was comparable to rap in excitement, and he didn't know if the assistant on the other end could hear clearly.

Edward only heard the last sentence: "Money is not an issue, but tomorrow I will wake up to make sure that graveyard has my name written on it!" Yes, engrave my name on the tombstone! I'm going to envy those guys to death! ”

After hanging up the phone, he still couldn't suppress his excitement, rubbing his hands and walking around the private room.

Seeing that meaning, I can't wait to lie down in it immediately.

Edward didn't speak, just looked at him with a martini.

It took a while for the guy to come to his senses from his frenzy.

He held out his right hand to Edward,

Edward was stunned for a moment, then immediately stretched out his right hand, and the two sides shook hands tightly.

"Deal!"

"Deal!"

"For the details of the money and how to do it, I will contact you with Carl Wright, a professional trader in our team, who is an expert in this area."

"No problem, I will also send my own investment advisor to connect."

"Also, Carl Wright is very grateful for your sense of justice."

"Huh?" Hefner wondered a little, "He's black too?" ”

"No, he's a gay......"

Hefner was a civil rights activist, but he was not a fame seeker, and he had been leading the way in doing these things.

After being rejected by several media outlets, Hefner made a decision to publish it in Playboy, which caused huge trouble.

Because it's a positive portrayal of homosexuality.

In the fifties, homosexuals were still being sent to insane asylums.

In the face of overwhelming accusations, Hefner did not flinch and directly rebuked in the open media: "I was thinking that if heterosexuality should not be persecuted in the gay world, then in turn we should not discriminate against homosexuals in heterosexual society, and human beings are equal to each other...... In particular, this group makes up 5%-10% of the total number of human beings, so many people, we should accept them as equals, and not treat them as aliens! ”

Who was Hefner?

Probably the most famous heterosexual in the nation!

He chooses three escorts to live with him every month.

Three!

What can these four people do together?

Probably playing mahjong......

He came out in solidarity with homosexuals in this way, and made the people of this group feel grateful to him.

As a result, magazine sales have risen sharply again.

Having said that, Playboy has photos of escort girls with two points in every issue.

But its content is quite elegant, Hefner spends money generously, as long as the content is appropriate, the remuneration is very high.

And the content is quite healthy, covering various fashionable themes such as history, literature, science and technology, economy, etc., as well as avant-garde lifestyles, if you put aside the content related to escort girls.

This is actually a pretty good fashion magazine, with content and opinions, and the opinions are quite right.

As for those LSPs who like to read GHS, Hefner has not forgotten them, and there are magazines such as the attic, which is even more pleasing to the eye.

In short, this guy is a liberal with anti-government overtones, and it can even be said that there are many shadows of idealists.

It is indeed not easy for a man in his forties.

No wonder, Alan Ginsberg is looking for an opportunity to rub against him, sorry for him, or maybe he wants to suck fish.

Moreover, although he is constantly beautiful in his private life, he is unusually clean and does not give people a greasy feeling at all.

"Alright, enjoy, Funk Queen's performance......" the host on stage elongated his voice.

The atmosphere reached a climax.

Funk is black music, with strong rhythms and variety, suitable for singing and dancing, and with the gradual maturity of electronic music during this period, funk music uses a lot of electronic synthesizers, making the music have a strong excitement and psychedelic color.

Great for mobilizing people's emotions.

It is no wonder that after the emergence of funk music, it immediately swept the whole meter, and the previously popular rock and folk songs were greatly squeezed into the market.

After the rapid development of the sixties and seventies, disco on the basis of funk came into being, which immediately plunged the world into a frenzy.

On the other side of the ocean, the country that has just opened its doors has not been spared.

Edward knew this very well.

And the representative of funk music is Tina Turner, and the queen of funk deserves her name.

When she appeared on stage, the applause was already ringing.

Hefner didn't say much, and writhed along with the music.

This kind of praise with singing and dancing is very physically demanding.

Although Tina Turner is only 30 years old, she is good at it, and after a few songs, she can only take a temporary break.

Soon after, however, she was invited to Hefner's box.

It was also the first time Edward had met this legendary woman in the history of music.

Judging from the skin color, she should not be a purebred black, the skin color is dark brown, and the bridge of the nose does not want to collapse like a black person, although it is not tall, but it looks small and chic, plus this skin color, it looks vaguely oriental.

His lips were black and thick, sexy, his eyes were painted with thick smoky makeup, and his curly hair was dyed pale yellow, which he put down when he was singing, and at the moment he wore braids for convenience and freshness.

As for the figure, not to mention, the perennial dance has made her body shape perfect, with smooth lines and a sense of power, but no abrupt muscle mass.

In addition, the black man was originally a body with long legs and a thin waist.

Such a body should have been molded and sent to a museum for preservation, Edward thought to himself, it was indeed too perfect, and it was beautiful to make people think that this was a work of art.

Tina Turner has a fiery personality, which is actually not a good word.

This means that she always evaluates things that she doesn't like with the letter f, and her figure is as hot as her temper, which is also the public's understanding of him.

But she had a lot of respect for Hefner.

Or a kind of casual, in the box as if returning to your own home, casually leaning on the sofa and pouring beer into your throat.

Edward looked at her with some concern, alcohol has a great impact on her throat, and Tina Turner is really singing and dancing on stage, which is easy to cause her breath to not sing and sing and split her throat, isn't this a terrible drink......

Hefner seemed to see his concern: "Hey, don't be afraid, Tina is a special case, the more she drinks, the more wonderful she will be on stage, if you let her drink Coke, she will definitely not become a funk queen, she will probably have to go to kindergarten to perform for children." ”

“FXXK!” Tina Turner bared her teeth at Hefner very rudely, like a ferocious wildcat.

Hefner just didn't see it: "See, I'm telling the truth, usually only the truth makes others so annoying!" ”

"Introduction, this is Tina Turner, you've already seen her perform! What do you think? ”

"Perfect, it's perfect" Edward's heartfelt admiration, this thing is a racial talent, probably the only one who can fight with the black buddies is Ah San......

"This is Edward Young, a young lawyer with a bright future ahead and a friend of mine......"

"Huh?" Tina Turner raised an eyebrow, "There aren't many people who ask you to introduce you like that!" ”

"Yes, not many people can be friends with you. But I don't like those guys either, but he, don't look young, will shock us one day. ”

"I'm ashamed of what you said!"

Edward politely shook hands with Tina Turner.

The other party didn't bother to stand up, so he leaned on the sofa and stretched out his hand: "Sorry, I'm too tired, there will be the second half in a while, I have to save some strength......"

"It's dedication," Edward didn't care.

Men are tolerant, especially for beautiful women in their early 20s, who are countless times more tolerant than God treats devout believers.

And Tina Turner also took it calmly, after all, she had been treated too much like this, and she was not inferior to Edward.

The three of them sat down, drinking and chatting.

The atmosphere was very lively.

In this era, Hugh Hefner's Playboy Club was an outlier.

There is truly no discrimination.

The club has always been known for its high level of performance.

As long as the actor has the ability, there is no discrimination at all, whether it is black or gay, it can be said that everyone is treated equally on the stage of the Playboy Club.

Absolutely no one will cast a strange eye.

In this sense, Hefner was a leader in the civil rights movement.

Especially the escort girls of its magazines every month, there are all kinds of colors.

This tolerance and generosity, although it makes him heinous in the eyes of those so-called conservative mainstream.

Especially the Southern Democrats — oh no, it's supposed to be Republicans now, who have vowed to kill him more than once, both publicly and privately.

Hefner never took this seriously, and in this respect he trusted his banknotes with the well-established service market of the United States.

He can hire the best bodyguards to keep himself and those around him safe, and sneer at those clowns.

In this way, the fame is greater.

Many associations have asked him to serve as an honorary director or advisor.

After a long time, he has become the image spokesperson of "Playboy", and I really speak for myself.

After a few drinks, Tina Turner took her leave, and the second half of her show was about to begin.

"Ed, what do you think?" Hefner asked

"How's that?"

"Tina," Hefner winked at him.

"Tina? Of course, she's nice, very pretty, and has a great figure. ”

"Do you want to?" Hefner pouted Nunu on stage, and at this moment Tina Turner changed into a performance costume, hot pants with stockings, and a cute suspender on her upper body, which didn't seem to have a bra yet, and she walked tremblingly, as if she would jump out of her neckline at any moment.

Edward swallowed and shook his head, "No kidding. She's a big star. A real star. ”

"Hey! Hey! I've heard you're very confident in court, what's that nickname...... Oh, 'Edward of Cross-Examination', from the judge to the prosecutor, they can't escape your cross-examination and lose. Why are you so unconfident in the girls? ”

Seeing that Edward was silent, Hefner looked distressed: "Damn, be confident, a girl like Tina is actually very simple, I can see from her eyes that she is very interesting to you." ”

"Really?" Edward asked

"Of course, who can sleep with more girls than me?" Hefner pouted, looking haughty.

"That's right," Edward pondered, and found that this was indeed the case.

"So, go ahead, lad. Isn't it nice to have a nice and smart Tina who won't trouble you, so wouldn't it be nice to have a good memory in Chicago? ”

"Can I do it?" Edward was still a bit of a void.

"Of course."

Hefner patted him on the shoulder, "I've got some more business, Miss Mondy from Paramount made me an appointment tonight." ”

This person Edward knows that the new female star seems to be quite provocative.

"That's the business thing." Hefner walked to the door: "As for how to expand the propaganda so that more people know about Hansen's theory and stir up more people's emotions, I am an expert on this. You wait, I'll let my men contact you, and when the time comes, you just do what we ask, and make sure the results are outstanding." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!"

"Bye-bye" Hefner said goodbye to him.

"Oh yes," he tossed over with him, and Edward caught it.

It's another rabbit head key.

"Here's the key to my suite here, you can go and stay tonight, but I hope it's two people, or more, and not you sleeping alone, right?" There has never been a single overnight stay in that room, so please don't break the tradition. ”

"Okay...... Edward smiled bitterly, but in his heart, he felt that going it alone would be the right choice.

After a while, Tina Turner's performance for the day ended, and to the applause of the audience, she quietly came to the private room.

“? What about Hugh? She asked

"There is something to do in business, go back first!" He wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the truth.

"Yes...... Who knows what this guy was doing? Tina Turner was not polite and sat down directly beside Edward.

Pick up a can of beer and continue pouring.

"Ah...... It's so comfortable," she put her booted leg on the coffee table, "I'm tired!" ”

"But the performance was fantastic, really."

"Really? Do you like it? Tina Turner asked, looking like she was really asking about acting, but in fact Edward always felt that there was something in the words.

"Of course, I like it so much, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it!" Smile this look at each other, this is also the truth.

The praise is truly extraordinary, and it is at the highest level in this era.

In particular, the incomparable appeal of the scene is incomparable to that of television broadcasts or videotapes.

Tina Turner is full of wild charm on stage, bringing out the most primitive emotions with every move, smile and smile, and conveying them to the audience intact.

This is where the real strength of the funk queen lies, and ordinary female artists can't do this at all.

As long as she is on stage, she is the stage itself.

"You white people always like people to talk around the bend."

"That's when I'm ashamed in front of you, you're the best big star, and I'm just a student right now."

"The person Hugh likes is not that simple."

"So, what do you think?"

“?!!” Edward was stunned, what is this brainless thing to say?

“??? What do you think? He asked

Tina Turner looked at his expression, frowned and confirmed for a long time, finally realizing that this was not a fake, but really not clear.

I couldn't help but laugh so hard that I couldn't stand up straight.

Edward was a little embarrassed, he should know what the other party meant.

But now it seems a little late to answer!

"Well, ask again? Do you want to? ”

"Of course!" Opportunities have always only favored preparers, and when he was in military training, he didn't answer so hard when the instructor named him.

"Let's go, where are you, or where am I?"

"Right here, third floor," Edward figured out the key.

The other party had already stood up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her.

Tina Turner's waist was slender, but muscular and full of energy, and she didn't do anything else, just leaned on Edward.

The two of them left the clubhouse half-snuggled.

Take the elevator upstairs.

Just on his back with Linda.

Linda's eyes were full of reluctance, but she didn't say anything.

She knew that her status was not at all on the same level as the women around Edward.

Not to mention the figure and looks.

Edward smiled at Linda, a slight apology, and the two walked into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, they hugged each other.

The funk queen was also wild offstage, and both of them were a little out of breath after three or two clicks.

After entering the suite, Edward didn't care about anything else, and pressed her shoulders with both hands, and pushed her directly against the wall.

In this position, she seemed to have some difficulty breathing, and her chest rose and fell violently.

Edward didn't speak, and went to pull his clothes.

"Wait, wait, let me go take a shower first, I was sweating a lot just now......"

"Okay, let's just join us......"
