Clyde is one such person, and he may be the producer God sent D.
I would say that Clyde is also such a man with a mid-life crisis, of course you could say he has a slightly better job than D, but that's just a little odd job, and he even has to rely on his wife for it Paying the rent every month to support himself is enough to make a man lose his self-esteem. He tells D that he has not given up on his dreams and it is time to make their dreams come true. So they had Sharby, a poor student to be their mixer, and they had a humble, no-frills recording studio in D's house, with walls full of discarded wine bottle holders for Soundproofing, they use the rudimentary tools to accomplish their dreams.
Of course, it wasn't easy at the beginning. D had never been in a real recording studio. He was eager to express his life in rap, even ignoring the public's ability to accept it. Fortunately, there was a more professional Clay. De is guiding him. They used to reminisce about the good times they had rap together in middle school, and they also got into trouble because of disagreements, you know the friendships of the guys, they had their way of expressing it.
A pimp living at the bottom of society wants to realize his dream of being a rap star, and you can imagine that they will have a lot of things that annoy them. Poor mics, poor wine bottle holders may block the whistle of cars passing by, but they can't block the blaring neighbors, no less money, Clyde's family crisis , his wife yelled at him: "No woman wants her husband to be in and out of a neighborhood full of prostitutes..." "I want to get a dime out of a dime, but now I don't even have a penny. Didn't get..." When you hear complaints like this you might think that they're just a bunch of hot-headed rap lovers who don't have the energy or the money to follow through.
At this time, the big-bellied prostitute, Xia, brought a gift, a lamp that changed colors, I don't know what it was called, "When they were interviewing Skinny on TV, I saw his There was one of these in the studio, so I bought you one too." At this moment, this gift from the stratum prostitute brings them not only encouragement, it also represents Xia's ideal, in the old days, her job was to take care of D's children at home and wait for the birth of children, almost She is sleepy every day, like a walking dead, but since D's studio was established, she has also been busy, so to speak, she is living like a person, that's how I understand it. And under Sharby's plan, she finally joined the working group, took on the task of recording the harmony for D, and became a part of it. She didn't know what she was doing was really great until she heard their After mixing, she could hardly believe that was her own voice.
The time D realized that Nora could no longer simply be considered an employee was when they desperately needed a professional recording microphone. He didn't have $250 to buy a professional mic, and the boss wouldn't give in on the price. When D saw his seductive eyes on Nora, he decided to sacrifice Nora to get that mic. But the behavior of this simple-minded prostitute in his eyes surprised him after she finished. She told D that she would never do such a thing again, and he could not treat her as a cash machine. Let me tell you, this seems to be saying that everyone should have their own dreams. Prostitutes are no exception. At this time, D, Clyde, and Sharby's dreams also became Nora and Xia's dreams. Clyde's wife delivered sandwiches, expressing her desire to reconcile with her husband and support her husband's work.
When everything was perfect, they finally made the demo tape they wanted, and they could sell it for money. At this time, there was only one thing left to worry about, which was to let the radio broadcast it smoothly. , D naively thought that Skinny would help him, just because they were from the same neighborhood, and he was a huge fan himself, he thought he would let the radio play his demo tape if he flattered him. Of course, everyone likes sweet words, and Skinny's performance also made D think that he will help him, so he brought the sample to him. It was a sample that condensed the efforts of more than one person. He counted on it to complete everyone. He didn't expect to be ripped apart by Skinny and thrown into a dirty urinal. He thought that the one who was drinking with him intimately, told him that everyone should have dreams, and talk intimately about the big rapper. Celebrities would do him a little favor, and he'd seen it soaking in shit like that, and he even thought about touring with Skinny. . .
As a result, he hit Skinny's nose crookedly and sent himself to prison. Everyone's dreams seemed to be shattered all at once.
D was in jail until Clyde told him that Xia, the woman who loved him gave him a beautiful daughter, and he didn't know that Nora was running around to get his demo on the radio, and finally this The girl made it, his "Shouting Trick" was finally played, and it hit No. 1 on the charts, putting Skinny under his feet. And all he has to do now is to talk to the producer about the future schedule. . .
When the prison guards recognized him as the D-JAY who sang "Shouting Tricks", he realized that he had finally succeeded, and he also had his own fans, and when the prison guards recorded their own Take the tape to D, and when he made the request he made to Skinny at that time, he took the sample tape and said with great sincerity: "Everyone should have their own dreams".
The last thing I want to tell you is that the movie is far more moving than my dry narrative.
