American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 254: Father Eminem, the man behind the scenes
"Will this work?" Kassa looked skeptical after hearing Ryan's plan.

"That depends on how willing you are. I can't help you with the rest. You have to find your own way." Ryan reminded.

After hearing this, Kasha fell into a long silence. After thinking for a long time, her throat moved and she slowly spoke: "Do you know why I changed the S in my name to a dollar sign?"

"I'm listening."

"Because I secretly swore in my heart since that day! I want to focus on money in everything! I don't want to be a tool for others to make money anymore, I want to live for myself." Kassa clenched her fists.

"Very good." Ryan nodded, very satisfied with Kassadin's current condition.

"Do you need me to…" Ryan looked at the empty plate on the table.

"If possible, can I have another one?" Kassa smiled cautiously.

Ryan turned around and raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Give me another portion of each of these and pack them up for this lady, and... pay the bill." Ryan took out his bank card.

He walked out of the restaurant first, put on his baseball cap and mask before leaving. After getting in the car, he drove straight to a five-star hotel in Miami. According to the scheduled time, a heavyweight guest was about to arrive - Eminem.

A hip-pop mogul who won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album three times in a row at the beginning of the new century, a white man who sang rap, the most successful male artist of the 21s, he made rap win an Oscar, a symbol of rebellion, or to be more precise, a symbol of a former rebellion.

"Welcome." Ryan came to visit and greet him as soon as possible.

But there was no one in sight. Ryan looked down and saw a little girl looking up at him.

"Ryan!" The little daughter hugged Ryan's waist without saying a word.

"Hailey, don't scare him." The man in the house came out. It was Eminem.

He was wearing a black T-shirt and pants, a metal necklace, a black crew cut, and a handsome appearance. It is obviously not a compliment to say that he is the most handsome guy in the rap world, especially his current look, which is more stable than his early bad boy image with yellow hair and crew cut, and younger than his later bearded "rapper Lao Deng" look.

"My daughter is on summer vacation, and the performance happened to be in Florida, so I brought her here and treated it as a vacation." He smiled, and his smile gave people a slightly shy feeling.

"Ryan! I like you so much! All the girls in our class like you very much!" The girl was only as tall as Ryan's waist, probably only twelve or thirteen years old. Her expression was extremely excited, and you could see a sticker of Ryan on the back of her hand.

It was the first time for Ryan to face a fan so young, so he could only touch her head. He hugged the little girl for a long time before being pulled away by her father.

In Ryan's memory, Eminem is still the rebellious symbol who sang angry lyrics and had a buzz cut. In the blink of an eye, his daughter has grown up so much. Looking at the smile on his face when he holds his daughter, he looks like a kind old father.

"How do you like the living environment here? You're welcome, just let me know if you have any requests." Ryan played his part as a good host.

"Everything is fine, but my daughter is a little noisy." Eminem held his daughter's hand and led Ryan into the house.

"It's nice here." Eminem smiled.

"Is everything going well in the nursing home?" Ryan asked.

To be precise, it was the Brighton Rehabilitation Center, where he was trying to quit his drug addiction. He almost died of an overdose two years ago, but he was lucky enough to survive.

However, Dre's son was not so lucky and died last year.

Eminem nodded: "I am now free from drug addiction. The doctor said that I am able to return to work and at least I will not forget the stage I am about to take to."

In a previous interview, Eminem admitted that he didn’t even remember recording a certain show and that it had affected his work.

Then he looked at his daughter who was playing nearby and said, "Actually, it was because of her that I decided to enter the nursing home."

Eminem first became famous as a symbol of rebellion, with rap lyrics full of cynical street narratives and underdog stories. But on the other hand, he is also a well-known daughter-slave and once wrote the famous song "Mockingbird" for his daughter.

"Have you decided on the performance repertoire?" Ryan asked again.

Eminem nodded: "The first single from the new album."

This is why he came to the carnival to sing, and he agreed only after Jimmy's strong recommendation.

"Have you contacted Dog Lord?" Eminem asked.

"He refused. He was bothered by the strict policy of the bad rooms and said he would never go to the Carnival in his lifetime." Ryan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Haha, I guess he didn't want to make you look bad, so he just didn't come." Eminem laughed.

Snoop Dogg and Eminem are brothers from the same school. Snoop Dogg is Dre's favorite student, and all of Eminem's albums were produced by Dre.

As for Dre's title as the West Coast superstar, at least half of it was earned by Eminem.

"Is Dre okay?"

"Not at all. He hasn't gotten over the grief of losing his son yet, and I heard that his relationship with Jimmy hasn't been very good recently because of you." Eminem pointed at Ryan.

"I?"

"Yes, your fiancée's headphones are selling very well, which has greatly reduced Jimmy's dependence on Dray. Jimmy has postponed the launch of the new model."

"What about you? You should have headphones too, right?" Ryan asked tentatively.

Eminem was previously in a sanatorium for drug rehabilitation, and now he's back in the public eye. Considering his fame and his relationship with Dre, it's likely that he'll release corresponding headphones.

"Me? I'm not interested in this kind of money-making stuff." Am shook his head. It was a bit disrespectful to say this in front of Ryan.

"You have too much money in you, Ryan, you should focus on music," Eminem reminded.

"You are an experienced person, so you know that sometimes you will feel pressure when you encounter a bottleneck in your creation. This is how I relieve stress."

"Money will brainwash you and you will become a slave to money." Eminem shook his head. His ideas were completely different from Ryan's.

"In a sense, each of us is a slave, but what we can choose is that we can change the world while creating money. Electronic music is the sound of the next era."

"You are totally wrong. Electronic music is undoubtedly a fake music. The sound is no longer pure, but is modified by various effects and carefully compiled illusions. The lyrics lack core and seem to be flamboyant but are actually cowardly." Eminem touched his head and when he said this, his tone was ups and downs, just like he was singing rap. It is completely understandable that he seems cynical.

"It's tiring to live hard. People nowadays may not want to think about the core at all. They just want to relax, pure relaxation."

"I hope you are right." Am chuckled twice.

Ryan then started asking about his new song.

"In addition to the new album "Relapse" released just last month, there will be another album at the beginning of next year. When I was in the sanatorium, I created a lot of works. This time I have enough ammunition for my comeback. There are a few songs that I am considering cooperating with some big-name female singers. This is Jimmy's idea. He said that this will help increase album sales. Guess what he said to me?" "Let you cooperate with Lady Gaga?"

"Yes, I rejected it at that time. That... thing was like an alien creature." Am shook his head and complained.

Ryan also doesn't understand Lady Gaga's increasingly weird looks now.

"Who are you considering working with?" Ryan asked.

"You don't want to recommend that little girl, do you?" Am reacted.

"She's suitable for singing the chorus, just like in the old "Stan". Ryan stopped pretending.

Eminem's rap and Taylor's singing, this combination will definitely detonate the music market and bring a super single.

Even if it doesn't become popular, at least it's not sung by Rihanna or Lady Gaga, and that's enough.

"We can talk about the profit sharing. I can also adjust the order of your performance at the carnival to a better position, and I can also play your singles in the nightclub." Ryan continuously put forward the conditions for cooperation.

"Dad, do you want to cooperate with Ryan?" Little Haley, who was playing nearby, heard something and immediately came closer.

Seeing Ryan so enthusiastic and his daughter coming over, Eminem scratched his head and was a little flustered. He didn't know how to refuse. After thinking for a while, he said, "Thank you, but I think that song still needs a louder and higher voice. Taylor's voice... doesn't have the power. Do you understand? I prefer to work with a black female singer. Of course, it's not that we won't have the opportunity to work together in the future, but the premise is that the song has to be suitable."

"Call me anytime you need me."

"I promise you." Am nodded.

When leaving, Ryan waved to Eminem's daughter. Eminem's daughter was very cute with big eyes, like a little angel.

"Will I ever see you again?" When little Haley saw Ryan was about to leave, she immediately pouted and was about to cry.

"Of course, you can see me anytime you want." Ryan laughed and subconsciously thought of the pregnant Ivanka.

After the meeting with Eminem, Ryan happened to meet a black female singer in the hotel lobby.

The girl with a donkey face, dark skin and fluffy curly hair is none other than Leona Lewis, whose previous collaboration was unilaterally blocked by UMG.

Ryan asked Simon to contact Adele before, but Adele directly refused. Simon proposed a compromise to Ryan, letting Leona go on stage instead of her.

Ryan, an adult lyrical singer, didn't have much choice, so he agreed. After all, the music festival is just a stage, and there are certainly fewer restrictions than direct cooperation, so Leona was able to come to Florida unimpeded.

Leona didn't look too excited to see Ryan again.

Ryan also knew a little about the inside story. Leona's popularity began to decline rapidly in 09. She was still very popular last year, but none of her songs this year were popular. She had to pay the price for a series of mistakes in song selection.

Taylor was still under pressure, so Ryan naturally had no energy to help her. Besides, Leona was owned by Sony and had nothing to do with him.

After a brief greeting, Ryan was about to leave, but Leona suddenly said, "Ryan, I want to talk to you. Do you have time now?"

"Probably only fifteen minutes." Ryan looked at the Patek Philippe on his wrist, which was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"That's enough. Where shall we go to talk?" Leona pointed to a semi-open cafe in the lobby.

What Leona talked about was not a big deal, she just hoped that when she went on stage, Ryan could also be with her and perform the songs they had collaborated on before.

"I think that would be better, what do you think?"

"I don't have any objection, but... you know, UMG doesn't want me to work with female singers under Sony now." Ryan used Universal Music as a shield.

Leona sighed, looking really anxious.

"Let's talk later." Ryan said a few more words of comfort and then left, leaving Leona alone.

"Guess who I just met? Eminem. I've met almost all these popular stars in the past few days." Ryan saw Taylor enter the office and immediately shook his head and sighed. Ryan would personally greet big stars like Eminem, and it never hurts to meet and get to know them.

The festival was about to start rehearsals, and Taylor returned at the last minute.

"We just happened to meet at the airport. There are a large number of paparazzi waiting outside the airport now." Taylor recalled the situation with a terrified expression.

Florida in early summer is star-studded because of the Bad Room Carnival, and with stars, there are naturally paparazzi.

"The car I was in took a long time to get to the nightclub." Taylor laughed.

Ryan nodded and then talked about another thing: "I found the mastermind behind the leak. At least I found one person."

A few days ago, a tabloid made up a story about himself and Taylor, and it was very vivid. The newspaper said that Taylor had a big fight with himself because of the order of performances, forcing the two of them to show their love again at the Teen Choice Awards ceremony.

"Who is it?" Taylor asked immediately.

"Beyoncé's agent, I told him about the fight between you and me before. I was just saying it casually to bargain with him, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously." Ryan said.

The news in the tabloids is a complete replica of what Ryan said at the time. Ryan only said this to Beyonce's agent, who is also her father.

"You gave her the finale spot, and even I didn't get this spot, but she actually repays you with hatred! How shameless." Taylor frowned immediately.

"So what should we do now? You've already promised her. If you change her finale position now, I'm afraid she won't be happy." Taylor tried to analyze.

"It may not be her direct instruction, it may also be her father's decision. But no matter who it is, it has crossed the line, so she must be taught a lesson!" Ryan's face was stern.

"Although we can't change her appearance time now, we can change the performance process!" Ryan suddenly said.

"I know what you want to do." Taylor immediately realized something: "She will be very surprised then."

Then Taylor and Ryan chatted casually.

"I just met Eminem. I originally wanted you to work with him, but the song wasn't suitable. I also met his daughter. The little girl is very cute. Taylor, how about..." Ryan looked at Taylor: "Let's have a child too."

"Didn't you say you didn't want a child before? Why did you change your mind now?" Taylor raised the corner of his mouth, remembering that he had mentioned this to Ryan before.

"Yes, I changed my mind." Ryan smiled.

"Forget it, let's wait until we're officially married before talking about children." Taylor shook her head. This time she didn't want to have a baby: "Like you said before, we're all very busy now."
