43 Jennifer Aniston 3 (2/2)

That is political suicide, considering his position.

More than that, George didn't like to be keep in the dark.

He must be in control all the time.

”I'm sorry, uncle George. I'm heading to a business meeting with my crews right now. Can I drop by in the evening?”

You distance your ear from the phone and allow George to shout to his heart contents. You only smile and wink at the girls in the backseat, especially Jennifer.

This confirms your connection to George Lucas. You even called him in a familial manner, implying the relationship you have is not only business.

Once George calms down, you continue speaking.

”If it is about the song that have been playing all morning on the radio, you don't need to get upset. It is all business. I can give you total control of the creative license and distribution right for the song in exchange for another 1% of the box office. This will let you have some say to people who call, and on the personal level, you also have leverage over them. You did mention that you are interested in the music industry.”

You know this because George Lucas is currently dating Linda Ronstadt, who is a singer and songwriter because she is very talented.

She is also insanely popular.

George is very fond of her. They do go well together.

Perhaps it is time for history to change for the better.

George takes a moment to think. He eventually comes around since it is an offer that grants him many benefits.

However, one wonder hit is not enough for him to step into the music industry.

”Don't worry about that, uncle George. I have composed a dozen more songs. Each one of them is as good if not better than the one being air right now.”

You pause for a moment.

”As for singers, I have a very good eye for such things. Do you believe me that the singer is just a little girl?”

George is beyond shocked. He has heard the song and he could not believe that the voice belongs to a child.

”I don't need to lie to you about this, uncle George. The girl name is Christina Aguilera. She is 10 years old this year. Her voice already surpasses that of even Madonna. She can carry an entire company on her own, especially with a few songs I have in mind for her. She isn't the only one I have my eye on.”

George swallows the lump in his throat.

He couldn't imagine what you are saying is the truth.

However, he knows your personality. You didn't need to lie about these things.

”If this is true. Why are you trying so hard to be a director? You can go very far as a music producer.”

He asks out of curiosity. With your mother as the head of an advertisement company, you could use her to promote your clients and their songs easily.

”Because I love watching movies and I love making them. And who say I can't be a music producer as well as a director? If I have money and connections like you, uncle George, I can be even more than that. I really appreciated the fact that you believe in me. Just believe in me again and I will not let you down.”

George decides he has much to gain.

”Have you sign her up yet?”

”That is for you to decide, uncle George. You can use my company, Delight Records, to sign her up. It is already registered. If you don't want to, you can use your own. I don't mind.”

George chuckles.

”As if I can use my own, you bastard. You force all the radio stations to say that the company behind the song is Delight Records in order to broadcast it. Changing the company right now is impossible.”

You smile as he explains why it is not possible.

The integrity of a label must be maintained regardless of the cost.

”Ah. I didn't think it that far.”

You apologize.

”I thought I should use the song to make my company known publicly. I didn't think it would create so many problems. I'm sorry to be a bother, uncle George. I will drop by your place tonight to apologize in person. Oh, I have someone I want to introduce you to as well.”

Once that is done, you bid farewell to George Lucas.

You then look back at the backseat, eyeing all the three girls, one by one.

Jennifer is the last person you pay attention to.

She is the only person you are interested in amongst the girls.
