America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 320 Abel who saves the unfortunate

After spending a pleasant noon in a high-rise apartment in Manhattan.

Abel reappears in Lower Manhattan, at Charlie Brown's Pizza Place.

When he appeared in the store, there was only one table of customers in the store.

There are also other guests who want to come in.

But they were rejected by two rock security guards and guest service staff.

The boss, Charlie Brown, is very helpless. He can't do business if he chases away customers like this.

Fortunately, Charlie Brown rented the store from Abel, and Abel only charged him one dollar a month for rent.
For rent's sake, Charlie Brown put up with it.

In the huge Charlie Brown Pizzeria, only Abel would come, or those famous friends of Abel would come.

Here we have to put up the sign of closing the door and thanking guests.

Like today, after this table of guests came.

Charlie Brown's Pizzeria is no longer open to outsiders.

When Abel appeared, the pizzeria was empty except for the table of guests.

Only at the bar, the two "waiters" stayed with the dazed old guy.

"Hey, old ghost. Good afternoon."

Abel, who had been subdued by the upright Sophie Marceau not long ago, greeted the old guy happily.

Charlie Browne ignored him, turned around and continued to be in a daze.

Abel muttered loudly: "Damn old devil, I'll kick you out next month!"

Seeing that the old man didn't respond, Abel happily walked towards the table of guests.

The only guest at that table also looked up at him.

"good afternoon."

Abel greeted with a smile: "Miss Spears, long time no see."

Looking up at his beautiful teenage star.

It is now popular all over the country in the United States and loved by peers.

Another Britney Spears with crazy middle-aged male fans.

It is also known as Xiao Tiantian to the Chinese people.

"Good afternoon," Britney Spears said in a soft, ethereal voice.

It's completely different from the vigor and sexiness she showed on stage.

"Welcome to DreamWorks Music."

Abel sat down directly in front of her and found a plate of pineapple pizza that was almost eaten in front of her.

Saw Abel's eyes on the pizza.

Britney Spears, who didn't know how to speak, said softly:

"I can't normally eat these things, they're too sweet and high in calories. But now, Mr. Smith, you've saved me from record companies, managers, parents. I think I should taste them. I haven't eaten these in too long High-calorie things. After eating this time, I think they are very delicious, very delicious. I still want to eat, but I am afraid."

Britney Spears started talking to Abel.

Gradually, as if he was talking to himself, he started talking without stopping.

Seeing her like this, Abel felt that there was really something wrong with her spirit.

This girl star who became famous at a young age and is now wildly loved all over the United States is also criticized wildly.

Her spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Abel remembered that in the parallel time and space, she also had accidents after two or three years.

Later, he was really half crazy, so that even his body was restricted.

A very typical example of becoming famous at a young age, falling from heaven to hell after having a spicy chicken parent and a spicy chicken company.

Looking at her delicate face, she looked a little crazy.

Abel thought for a while and said softly, "Britney, have you ever visited your parents?"

Abel's opening interrupted her talking to herself.

Her attention returned to Abel.

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Smith. You seem to have made them a little different?"

"Then, do you think this change is good or bad?"

"Very good," Britney Spears said of this, her spirits visibly improved, "I feel like I can dream in my sleep!"

She looked like this, and couldn't help but reminded Abel of some of the experiences he had read about her.

For example, after Britney became famous, the first thing she did was to go home for Christmas.

She drove to her hometown of Kentwood and handed out $100 to everyone.

Instead of saying "Hi, I'm Britney", she said "Merry Christmas".

She always seems approachable to the audience, but the audience is not equally so.

While becoming a superstar and achieving success.

Britney, too, has come under increasing scrutiny for being both a sweet icon and a sexy leprechaun in lingerie to audiences.

Last year, she and Justin Timberlake broke up and she was attacked by more rumors.

At that time, one of the two people was the hottest pop star, and the other was the lead singer of the hottest pop group. Every move of the golden boy and jade girl made gossip headlines.

In the parallel time and space, the two will not break up until 2002.

After that breakup, she started to look a little crazy.

In this time and space, she and Justin Timberlake had just broken up after being in a spiritual relationship for a few months last year.

The rumor attack came earlier, making her look crazy earlier.

Seeing her state of mind, Abel doubted whether she would be able to do the charity concert in Times Square a week later.

Besides, this kind of crazy woman, no matter how beautiful she is, he can't afford it.

After thinking about it, he asked Edward to come over, "Is Delevingne outside?"

Edward nodded.

"Go let Delevingne in. I think Miss Spears, you should pay more attention to rest."

Britney Spears was silent and looked a little out of her mind. People who didn't know thought she was on drugs.

Delevingne came in.

This agent is now a big hit in CAA.

Not long ago, Michael Jackson and Britney Spears even became his clients.

He has a good relationship with Smith Media, and there are already rumors that Delevingne may become the new CEO of CAA.

It may replace Michael Ovitz, because the latter will leave CAA and go to Smith Media for development.

Only Delevingne himself knows that all this is true.

And everything that happened to me was because I was very clever and took refuge in Abel.

So face the things that Abel confessed, or the people and things related to Abel.

The senior partner of caa has always attached great importance to it.

When he came in, he took people with him, and asked them to send Britney Spears to rest first, she needed a rest too much right now.

Since she became famous in 1998, it has been almost three years.

She has almost never slept for more than five hours, and her body can still bear it because she is young.

The spirit is really dying.

Sitting in Britney Spears' place, Abel asked Delevingne how Spears was doing.

"With your help, Ms. Spears escaped the shameful and endless oppression of Sony and JIVE."

Draven is now especially talking:

"I've seen the best psychiatrist. Miss Spears has a mild dual personality, severe anxiety attacks, and mild transient amnesia. Physically fine, mentally very unstable."

Abel nodded, no wonder he looked a little crazy.

But in this state, she can still burst out with that kind of great vitality on the stage.

Showing her special sexiness and sweetness, I don't even know that she is praising her for her dedication and hard work.

It's better to say that her split personality is exaggerated.

"Then how are you going to arrange her?" Abel asked casually.

Delevingne carefully looked at the boss, complaining incessantly.

How do I know.

You are here from Sony.

Britney Spears, was able to jump ship from Sony's JIVE Music label to DreamWorks Music.

It was Abel who had David Jones operate it.

David's approach sounds simple.

One is the parents who made Britney very active, and the parents became well-behaved and obedient.Now both of them are on the farm beyond the Sunny Mountains, temporarily working as farm laborers.

The other side is negotiating with Sony.In the end, it cost $800 million to buy out the remaining months of Britney Spears' contract with Sony.

Then use the influence of the Spears couple on her to get her into DreamWorks Music.

The specific process is like this.

But how dirty and dark the details involved are, only David and Mrs. Spears know.

Draven didn't know any of this.

He was only responsible for dealing with the affairs after Britney Spears came here.

At that moment, Delevingne had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Let Miss Spears take care of her body first?"

"That's not okay." Abel said directly:

"I spent so much money to get her in. It's not about doing good deeds because of her pity. It's about her in her normal state, a cash cow."

"How about this."

Abel ordered: "You need to take care of your body and mind, but you can't stop the performances you should have. She needs to make money for Dreamworks Music. But we will not follow the normal singer process like the Neon people."

Draven breathed a sigh of relief, there are specific orders to execute, which is much better than letting him do it himself.

"Understood." Delevingne said quickly.

"By the way, why hasn't MJ come yet?" Abel asked.

There is more than one Britney Spears who Abel invited to come here today.

There is also a Michael Jackson.

After giving Ikana's father enough benefits.

The old man tried very hard to persuade Michael Jackson.

Maybe he also saw the power of Smith Media, and the fact that Sony had been beaten in front of Abel many times.

Coupled with Ted Lerner's friendship, MJ finally agreed to Abel's conditions at the time.

Willing to join DreamWorks Music, the premise is that Abel can block the dispute with Sony for him.

Abel agreed.

This is also a superstar with serious mental and physical problems.

Just like Britney, she is one of the hottest superstars right now.

DreamWorks Music without superstar support just needs the two of them.

Even if there are some problems, Abel can only get these two superstars in first.

After all, if a superstar is healthy and healthy, then Sony and Universal will keep a close eye on him.

"I have already notified Mike Jackson." Delevingne said quickly:
"He also said he would come. I don't know why, but he hasn't come yet."

Draven now admires Abel very much.Because Abe actually made music for DreamWorks, which brought in Michael Jackson and Britney Spears.

These two are Sony's not-for-sale treasures, and Abel was able to snatch them.

In the United States, only Abel can do it.

This is a bit like the full-level tuba in the game, running to the 30-level area to bully people.

People who hold drinking parties in the white house all day, go to bully Sonny, don't be too simple.

Who knows that Sony is different from those Han Guo consortiums.

Up to now, it still maintains the autonomy of Neon people, and only about one-third of the shares are owned by Americans.

Unlike those Hanguo companies that are all American companies with Hanpi.

Then in the United States, naturally there will not be so many people speaking for it.

At this time, Edward whispered a few words in Abel's ear.

Abel nodded, "Then let them in."

It turned out that Michael Jackson had arrived.

Jackson was so late not because MJ was playing big.

It was this guy who went to 40 Wall Street and called Ikana's dad over.
It is estimated that it is the first time to face Abel, even the emperor of pop music is a little nervous.

With good friend Ted Lerner in the middle as a buffer, it was a different situation.

Soon the door of Charlie Brown's Pizza was pushed open, and Ted Lerner's signature hearty laughter came first.

"Hahaha~ I've eaten at this restaurant, it's very good. I didn't expect you to like it too, Abel!"

Ted Lerner walked in first, followed by MJ who looked a bit feminine.

"I'm one of the owners of this store."

After all, he was Ikana's father, and he kept it as a trump card that he might use in the future.

Facing Ted Lerner, Abel maintained some respect.

In Ted Lerner's view, it was because of Ikana.

Otherwise, in Abel's current status.

Ted Lerner felt that if it were him, he would not be as gentle as Abel.

“No wonder the pizza here tastes so good.”

Ted Lerner had already walked in front of Abel. He glanced at Delevingne who stood up, and began to introduce MJ to Abel.

"Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, and most importantly he is my best friend!"

"This is Abe Smith. Michael, you obviously know him. He's also your future boss."

In Ted Lerner's atmospheric introduction, Abel didn't stand up, he sat and stretched out his hand with a smile:

"Hello, Michael. I like your music very much. Welcome to DreamWorks Music."

MJ immediately shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your liking, Mr. Smith. I am also very happy to join DreamWorks Music!"

"Sit down." Abel smiled and pointed to Delevingne, "I'm used to chatting while eating."

Delevingne quickly moved out of the way to give Ted Lerner and MJ his place, and he walked up to Abel and stood beside him.

But after glancing at Edward, the future CEO of CAA sneered, thought it over, and walked to the side to stand.

Ted Lerner sat down across from Abel with MJ.

Sway freely on the stage, the emperor of pop music, the famous MJ.

Facing Abel at this moment, he seemed a little reserved.

This is normal. After all, Michael Jackson at this time has already experienced the horror of capital.

Just being Sony Music, which is subject to many restrictions in the United States, has left the global superstar in a bind.

And the one sitting in front of him is an existence that can make Sony embarrassed.

After experiencing the horror of capital, MJ has a deep understanding of the power of this young man who looks like a Hollywood superstar.

After the two sat down, Abel didn't know what to say first.

Abe actually didn't like listening to MJ's music much.Because he didn't listen to music very much in his previous life.

Britney Spears looks very beautiful anyway, that kind of pure, sweet and sexy unique temperament is in her normal situation.

Abel was particularly moved.

What about MJ?
Sorry, Abel helped him, partly because of the sympathy brought from his previous life.

The other part is the same as helping Britney Spears.

That is, DreamWorks Music needs superstars to join in, so as to complement Abel's territory in the field of media music.

For Abel who has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is worth his effort.

There is no doubt that Michael Jackson is very important in this area.

So when he opened his mouth, it was a topic that made MJ a little embarrassed——

"By the way, I heard from Ted that Michael, your previous financial situation was a bit bad. Are you dealing with it now? Do you still need help?"

One of the reasons why MJ was so embarrassed by Sony before was that he borrowed tens of millions of dollars from Sony.

Later things were exposed, and everyone involved knew that MJ was in a debt crisis.

This has caused great harm to the personal image of the Pop Emperor.

Abel signed MJ to DreamWorks Music.

One of the conditions is to help MJ repay the money owed to Sony first.

Because MJ has already paid back part of the money, which is 500 million US dollars.

Of course the money will not be given in vain.

Subsequent deductions will be made as MJ's remuneration, share, and salary at DreamWorks Music.

After all the money is earned and returned to DreamWorks Music, MJ can get the money here.

Although the topic of Abel made MJ feel embarrassed.

But Abel's identity and status are here, and it did allow MJ to get rid of Sony's entanglement.

Michael Jackson was grateful to him, so he replied in a low voice, "It's settled. Thank you very much, Mr. Smith."

"And me." Ted Lerner said dissatisfiedly:
"Without my matchmaking. Michael, you're still in a lawsuit with Sony right now!"

"Thank you too. My friend, thank you very much for helping me all the time. Thank you, Ted." MJ said to Ted Lerner gently.

Ted Lerner nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

Abel could see that the relationship between the two was really good, he said with a smile:
"That's fine. Then, Michael, your task is to adjust your body and prepare for music at the same time. The concert in a week's time will depend on your performance."

"No problem!" MJ agreed very simply.

The scene in front of me is exactly what Abel told Bloomberg

The reason he can get Britney Spears and Michael Jackson.

The reason is because these two are now signed singers of DreamWorks Music.

It will not be a matter of one sentence to let these two superstars play at that time.

As for other singers, it is also very simple.

Tomorrow, DreamWorks Music will make a list and deliberately leak it to the media.

At that time, we will talk about this list, which is the list of singers that DreamWorks Music wants to invite to participate in the charity performance in Times Square.

If you don't show up at the concert.
These are the singers who refused DreamWorks Music's invitation to contribute and pray for the poor victims of [-]/[-].

Fill up all the words of moral kidnapping.

When the time comes, singers from other music giants will come if they promise to come.

If you don't want to come, then don't blame Dreamworks Music and Smith Media for making trouble.
