Chapter 116: Suspicious

β€œ1997! I! Dr.Dre! Will start your own dynasty! Aftermath Records! ”

The ambitious Dre soon gets drunk and becomes the centerpiece of the party, perhaps to vent his life in hiding in Tibet? He pounded his chest with one fist and kept chanting slogans for a better future.

"Roar! Roar! ”

Snoop Dogg, NAS and a group of other big black people surrounded him, and they also raised their arms and coaxed him.

"Dog, NAS ......"

Dre choked up and put his arms around the shoulders of the two, "Good brother, we will definitely succeed!" ”

"Yay!"

Snoopy Dog's face twisted and he echoed loudly, he had not defected with Dre because of cowardice, and now that the pressure on Sugnett was gone, the brothers were reunited, and it seemed that this knot had been repaired.

"NAS has learned to hide from me, and it looks like he's been quietly involved with Dre for a long time."

Through the crack in the door, Song Ya, who was hiding in the room, looked at this scene coldly and said softly: "Newman, the manager of NAS, has not leaked any news. ”

"It's normal that Dre's whereabouts can't be known to Sugnet, and it's moral that both NAS and Newman must help keep it secret until the danger is over."

Hayden, who had just arrived in New York, replied, "NAS will release a rap group album next year at Diaverum's new company." ”

"It's a bad sign anyway." Song Ya felt a little betrayed.

"You're leaving Sony Columbia Records next year, and as your friend, NAS has to find a way out for yourself."

"His new group, The Firm, will bring your Foxy Brown as the only female singer, which is good for Foxy Brown's career prospects, and he and Newman are courting us," Hayden said. ”

"Maybe they're trying to poach people from me." Song Ya was suspicious.

"Drew? He didn't dare, he finally escaped from the oppression that lasted for a whole decade before and after Big E and Sugnette, and for the first time in his life, he had his own record company, how could he provoke the king of Chicago for no reason. ”

Hayden said with a smile: "The Firm's combination situation is similar to that of the Wudang Gang, most of the time they fly solo, and they get together before and after the launch of the special to give full play to the advantages of the group. ”

Song Ya frowned and glanced back at him, "You always think too optimistically about things, like flowers in a greenhouse. ”

This is not a good word for the agent, and Hayden immediately became genuinely afraid, "Well, I just don't think Dre and NAS are ...... None of them are real bandits. ”

"It's scary for honest people to suddenly erupt, Hayden."

Song Ya stared at Derui who was dancing forehand, "If he signs another publisher, forget it, Interscope Records?" Doesn't that mean nothing has changed? Only between him and Interscope Records was the middleman who squeezed Sugnette's death row records, and the middleman who squeezed him...... They should have negotiated a plan for the new record label before 2PAC died, otherwise they wouldn't have moved so quickly. ”

He said, "Isn't there a saying?" Whoever gains is the suspect, and among the beneficiaries of the shooting of 2PAC, death row records, and Suguenet's beat, except for the bad boy record of braggart daddy and Interscope records, the rest is him, and they have a basis for collusion. Dre came to me to show that he knew very well that I was not behind the murder of 2PAC, so does it mean that he knew who the real murderer was? ”

"Nadre should have killed Sugnet, not 2PAC."

Hayden said, "As for him not doubting you, it's easy to explain, he should know the song in 2PAC's posthumous work that diss you, but at the same time clears your suspicions." ”

"The results are the same, and the co-founder of Interscope Records, Irwin, is from the Red Hook district of Brooklyn, New York, and is still an Italian......"

As soon as the suspicion sprouted, he couldn't stop, and Song Ya muttered to himself: "Originally, 2PAC was his family's singer, but 2PAC switched to Interscope because he was grateful to Sugnett for helping him get out of prison, which means that Interscope Records was divided by Sugnett with a lot of money...... I've heard that the California record industry agrees that Al Owen is a grumpy guy with what he calls a 'brutal honesty' quality. It was also Ai Owen who instigated 2PAC's mother to snatch the rights to 2PAC's records and posthumous works, and planned to release 2PAC's new selection album without Sugnette. ”

"Last year, due to the great negative perception caused by the war between the East and West Coasts, Warner Records was forced to give up 50% of the shares of Interscope Records, and the price of Universal was 120 million."

Hayden said: "And in the same extremely unfavorable external environment, Universal is only willing to pay 80 million for half of the A+ record. In addition to the distribution rights to Death Row Records, Interscope Records also owns singers such as rock star Marilyn Manson, as well as some West Coast distribution rights for U2......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Song Ya asked impatiently.

"I mean, Irving is worth a lot of money as the founder of Interscope Records, and according to Universal's valuation last year, he has at least tens of millions of assets, and there is no need to get involved in the mess of African American street singers. Taking a step back, even if he is really involved, then we, as irrelevant personnel, should not go deeper, and do bad things for him, and make enemies in vain. After all, next year we will all have to live under the same roof of the world......"

Hayden advised, "Just let Sugnette have a headache herself, APLUS." ”

Song Ya thought about it, and finally didn't bother anymore, and closed the door, "Let's get down to business, Hayden, I heard that your new home in Beverly Hills is next door to Amy Adams?" ”

"Hey......

Hayden laughed embarrassedly, "It's not as expensive as Amy's, the location is a little worse, and it's smaller, and there are discounts for the two sets of real estate agents who are traded together." ”

"Is it renovated?" Song Ya asked.

"The original owner's home decoration is very good, and I don't have the money to renew it, so I have to repay the mortgage...... Briefly repaired. Hayden replied.

"Well, that's right, I'm going to give Hallie a house, I'm in a hurry, but if it's much worse than Amy, I'm a little bit reluctant to go."

Song Ya hinted while sitting in front of the computer and typing.

"Uh, okay, I...... I'll look for ...... when I go back to Los Angeles," Hayden actually guessed, but there was a glimmer of hope.

"Don't M-fxxk play stupid! Count the money, I'll write the check. ”

Song Ya didn't give it a chance.

"My wife is going to kill me......" Hayden cried after his ass.

"No matter how disappointing you William Morris are, I want to kill you."

Rolling her eyes at him, Song Ya vented her dissatisfaction, "I still have to wear body armor when I go out!" ”

"We got Wesley Snepples, and Xue Linfen's photographer ex-boyfriend, and so on......"

Hayden retorted: "Have you noticed recently that the attacks on you by various media and the people who broke your black material before have almost disappeared? That's us doing a lot of work in silence and forcing Oprah to bow her head......"

"Isn't it because the polling day of the general election is approaching!?"

Song Ya yelled at him, "Don't play tricks with me, Hayden!" Ms. Sloan told me that the media outlets that had previously smeared me were actively reducing my exposure, and that they were now switching to newsletters that occasionally broadcast various lawsuits involving me. All Music sues America Music Network, Ellie's rape case, A+CN's discrimination against white job applicants, Tony's assault on Connie's ex-boyfriend and alleged car robbery, and so on, and they will not let go of any small developments. Most of the traditional media can't find any positive news about me at all, and if it goes on like this...... No, I'm starting to get out of the way. You don't do as much as Sloane alone! ”

"We're really working hard at APLUS." Hayden pleaded again: "Donovan is running inside Paramount. ”

"Where's the black material of Motula?"

"Yes, we have collected a lot, most of which are his entanglements with women from all walks of life over the years, both during marriage and after divorce."

"OMG! That's a fart for a record executive! ”

Song Yadu was almost helpless, "His relationship with the mafia, or tax evasion, murder, and even some stupid-looking actions are more effective than sleeping with women." ”

"He's a veteran record executive, he's usually very careful, his career experience is clean, and recently he's living in seclusion...... Although there are many Italians in the entertainment industry, the so-called involvement with the mafia is only rumors at present, and it is difficult to obtain conclusive evidence. ”

Hayden could only keep explaining, "Please trust us William Morris, as long as he does it, we will definitely find out." ”

"It's a little bit of a problem."

Old Mike pushed the door open and tilted his head in motion.

It just so happened that it wasn't clear to William Morris, "Give me your workload report during this time, the itinerary, how many people are busy with my business, what are you doing, I want to check!" Song Ya didn't want to say some unnecessary threats to terminate the contract, so she dropped her sentence and followed Old Mike to the monitoring room.

"It's normal for them to carry guns."

In the surveillance footage, there are a few Dere and NAS attendants in the parking lot downstairs of Tribeca, smoking and chatting next to the car, and there is a guy who has a black gun handle on his back waist, which looks like a gun handle, and the surveillance camera can't shoot clearly, and the guy keeps moving.

"As long as the ones that come up are clean, but these people don't." Old Mike said.

"I shouldn't have this party."

Song Ya was suspicious, "Just wait for them to leave with the boss and don't let them go." That's right, Mike ......"

"I'm going to fly to Los Angeles before I go to Florida, and Amy's new movie is about to open, the 30th," he said. ”

"You want to attend the premiere?" Old Mike asked.

"No, I'll ...... It always feels weird to give Amy and Hallie such a big house, and people are not there......"

It's a shame not to be able to see Amy and Hallie's surprise with your own eyes, "Is that okay?" It's not a definite itinerary, is it? ”

"No public appearances." Old Mike confirmed.

"No public appearances." Song Ya nodded, "I'll stay in Beverly Hills, and I'll not go anywhere." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Old Mike couldn't refuse his watery look of hope and agreed.
