-They ripped us off. The mini-bar was already...
-Stop messing with me, it's the same every time.
You say you don't touch anything,
but the thing ends up empty. -It's not me.
-You're a big liar.
I don't know why I even bother with you. Yeah, Inès?
-Are you with Lalpha?
-I'm going to join her now.
-I need to talk to you.
-Go ahead.
*-I was at the Studios of the Seine with an artist.
And Yamar is recording an album for Butcuss Records.
-Oh yeah? *-Yeah.
Why would Cicheman be into it now?
-I have no idea, myself.
-You're not hiding anything from me, I hope?
-No, don't worry, there's nothing at all.
-A producer and a rapper who hate each other, you see?
Should I be worried?
-I'm checking.
We need to move on the shoot, I'll call you back.
-OK.
-I'm happy, wallah.
-Is it ready? Are you ready for your first clip?
-Honestly, I'm stressed. But I'm hyped.
-Don't even worry, it'll go well.
-Hi guys. Are we going? -Let's go.
-We just arrived, and they're already disrespecting us.
How are you, star,
I hope I'm not bothering you too much -Relax, we got it.
-Hey, I'm not coming up.
-Brahim, come up, please. -No.
-Come up, we won't wait for you.
The seatbelt. -Don't talk to me, I won't wear it.
-Are you a hater?
-Talk to him, don't talk to me.
-Ignore him.
...
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Arrival of Lalpha, I repeat, arrival of Lalpha.
*-OK, received.
-Good luck, guys. -THANK YOU.
-What are you doing?
*-Can you take her to the dressing room, please?
-How's the team? How's Sara? -Yeah.
Peace. Nice to meet you, Lalpha.
-Let me introduce you to the rappers of Guirri Mafia.
This is their neighborhood, here.
-Thanks for having us. I really love what you do.
-Thanks, with pleasure.
-We listened to what you do. It's really good.
-Thanks -Want to do something together?
-Whenever you want, with pleasure.
-We'll handle this. Happy shooting! -Thanks.
-Thanks, see you later.
How are you? -Yeah, I'm good.
-This is Félix Pyat, one of the big neighborhoods in Marseille.
-Is it abandoned here?
-It's a set for a music video, it's a set.
-The neighborhood, is it a set?
-The director's name is Screetch, he's made dozens of big clips
for French and American artists.
-Americans? -Yeah.
You're in good hands.
-All this is for me? -Yeah. Your first clip.
-No way...
That's huge, Sno.
It puts pressure on me.
-Yeah, but it's good pressure.
-Hello. -Hi
-Hi, Sara, how are you? Are you doing well?
I'm Asma, the stage manager. Are you coming with me to makeup?
-Absolutely. -See you soon.
-Miss, where's the control room?
-It's over there. -Are you serious or what?
Haven't you eaten enough at the hotel? -What are you talking about?
-Brahim, it's not just for you.
-Yeah, yeah.
...
-Is that you, Rico?
-Yeah, it's me.
-I'm Salah, Nasser's guy. Are you following us?
-Go ahead.
-Come on, guys, let's go.
Notification
-What's wrong, big guy? -What?
-I don't know, you're stuck. Is there a problem?
-If a girl wants a dick pic... -What?
-A dick pic.
-A dick pic, my man.
-She wants to see your dick?
-What site did you hang out on? Did you leave your credit card info?
-Why do we think I pay?
A girl can't ask me that?
-So who asked you that?
-This is Fatou.
-Sara's friend? -Yes.
-You're onto something, we need to go.
They're not asking you this every day. -That's weird, right?
-Why, bro?
Maybe she’ll send you stuff too,
who knows.
-Oh yeah, you think so?
He laughs.
-We're shooting in 5 minutes. 5 minutes.
-Yeah, Sara.
Come on, let's go.
Sara, all good? Relaxed -Yeah.
-We're filming with a crane. You have space to play.
As soon as we start the playback, remember to play with the camera.
-Hey, Sara.
How's it going, cousin? -El Capo.
-Perfect? -Yeah, perfect.
I love your style.
-That's nice. You also have the look.
-Thanks, it's a dream.
-You're going to shine, don't worry.
-Are we getting set up?
-Let's go, move.
-Are you sure this is the place?
-I saw an email sent to the teams about shooting the music video.
Don't worry, it's all set. Let's go.
We'll mess them up straight away, brothers.
What's this mess?
Did we get screwed or what?
Oh! You, over there, come here, come.
-Me?
-Yeah, you, come.
Don't be afraid.
-Wait for me.
-Who are they? -I don't know.
What's wrong?
-Do you live here? -Yes.
-Wasn't there a shoot?
-Nothing happened. -Are you sure?
Are you lying?
-Nothing happened.
-Was there a music video or not?
-Oh oh!
What are you doing? What are you looking for?
Huh?
-Why do you want to know?
-You're at my place and you're asking me that?
Huh?
-Nothing, bro.
-If there's nothing, take your little sluts
and screw your moms outside.
Come on.
-Let's go, we're out of here.
-What are you doing, now? Why are we leaving?
-Don't start acting nervous.
I'll settle your problem, move.
-Dirty sluts... What did they want?
-He was talking about shooting a music video.
What are they telling me? -Music video shoot?
Come on, play. Play.
Find them, those guys.
*-Mastar, I can't do anything more for you.
Karnage came into my hookah, shot me in the knees.
My guys work for him.
I don't have a penny saved. No wife, no kids.
I spent half my life in the closet and the other on the street.
Driss, you're not a thug, you're an artist.
So give him his money.
...
-If you want, have a coffee.
-Hi, Mastar.
-How are you? -Yeah, great.
So, what do you want to drink?
-Like you, I'll have a coffee -Elisa, a coffee, please.
Sorry about your film.
I saw it and thought it was really good, it's a shame.
-Things happen.
-Yeah...
Well, I understand you want to renew your contract.
-Yeah, an album plus 2 optional.
-Great, we're in.
-Cool. But I’d like to get the full advance
at signing.
-Okay. How much do you want?
-500,000.
He whistles.
-You don't usually work like that.
-Gims either.
He got double to stay with you.
-Gims, we took fewer risks.
You don't have the same audience,
and between your reissues that don't hit the expected numbers
and your movie's soundtrack
not taking off...
You have to adapt.
-What does that mean?
-What I can offer you is 250,000 euros in advance,
but...
in 360.
-What are you talking to me about 360 for, have you lost your mind?
Do you want me to become your little one again?
-You need to give us a part of your rights.
It's the only way to justify such an advance.
-You see
your shitty offices? Your gold records and your awards?
Who brought in the most?
Without me, Jungle, it's nothing!
If you have an office to put
your little shitty ass, it's thanks to me.
You piece of shit...
-Wait, don't take it like that. -Don't take it like that
Without my music, you're nothing. Do you know what you are?
You're just
a son of a bitch in a suit.
Come on, let's get out of here.
-Listen, honestly, I swear, I'm working on a project.
-Oh yeah? What's it about? Come on, tell me.
-What? -No, I...
-Strange...
-Hey, wait.
Are you the camera boss?
-Camera operator, why? I'm in a hurry.
I'm talking, brother. You know the images,
the photos, the crazy stuff like that? -Yes, why?
-I'll give you an example, if I want in my photo
that the object looks huge as hell,
that it appears big. -OK, what's it for?
-For a photo? -What, don't you have an example?
-Wait, 2 seconds. A photo of a fruit,
for example. An eggplant.
Well, it's just an example. -An eggplant?
-Yeah, but it's... No, it's... It's for an album cover.
We want the eggplant to be...
It replaces the tower in the city, it has to look
huge.
-You need to shoot it from a low angle, your eggplant.
If you do that, it will look super impressive.
-Impressive? -Exactly
Sorry, I really have to go.
-But when you say "impressive,"
is it from underneath or from...
-Low angle.
-Wait...
*-AMG63
I drive on their laws
Life is about choices I go straight ahead
When they doubted me
I was the only one believing in myself
They will see me shine
AMG63, I drive on their laws
Life is about choices I go straight ahead
When they doubted me
I was the only one believing in myself
They will see me shine
-He has really good gestures, Alonzo.
*-To arrive, I took my time
My sister, we take the money and split
-That's the second verse.
*-The sun shines if I get hype
I fought my battles solo
Who loves me, follow me Or at worst, unfollow me
Nothing scares me anymore Here, I feel comfortable
You're doing your show
-It's going to look really good. -Yeah.
They're giving everything, there.
*-Camo pants Fuck the lace thong
No halftime I took my time
No one judges me In the pigeon pose
Friends, real or fake I don't know who they are
*-AMG63
I drive on their laws
Life is about choices
I go straight ahead
-Cut!
That was awesome. Are we doing shoulder camera?
-Go ahead. -Let's go.
-Sno, I'll be back, quick.
-Go ahead.
Can you put it back on me? Thanks.
-Are you okay? Is there a problem?
-Guys are looking for us, they want to cause trouble.
-How do you know that?
-We trapped them.
-What?
-For the big clips, we pretend we're shooting somewhere else.
It avoids trouble.
-Do you know who they are? -No.
A guy sent me a photo, I'll show you.
Send your phone.
-You see, that guy,
the big one, he's working
with a competing label that hates us. We can't let him in.
No one should know they're after us, especially not Lalpha.
-OK. It's good, don't worry. -Thanks.
-Here.
-Hey, Sara.
-So, how did it go?
-Are you sleeping now?
You're still
hiding behind him. Did we come here for you to do that?
-It'll be fine, it was the first take.
-No, this music video is your chance of a lifetime.
That's how people will discover your face.
It's a track with Alonzo, not just by Alonzo.
You're still hiding behind him. Stand your ground.
Bring out your best look,
your best attitude, when it's your moment,
push him aside and go for the camera.
Stand your ground.
-Don't worry, Sno, you'll see.
-Why don't you ask Apash Music?
-Never in a million years. Karnage would go threaten them.
They've had enough trouble because of me.
And the other record labels Silver or Concord?
-No, they'll never pay the advance.
To gather the money, I need to buy some time.
I need to work on my album safely.
-How do you plan to do that?
-There's only one guy who can protect me.
*-They will see me shine
They will see me shine
*-To get there, I took my time
My sister, we take the money and go
I went up to the top of the cliff
The sun is shining here, I'm having a blast
I fought my battles
alone
Who loves me, follow me. At worst, unfollow me
Nothing scares me anymore. Here, I feel comfortable
Don't think you're putting on a show
Enjoy my flow
I'm heading straight ahead. Too much hatred in the rearview
Khaki camouflage. Fuck the lace thong
I want to shine in the sky
-Salah says the filming is in this city.
Ah, those sons of bitches...
They have been warned.
Move forward, we're screwed.
-But damn it!
*-My sister, I am...
-On theme. *-I'm a real panther
It's Lalpha
Raise your glass in the air. Let's cause chaos
*-AMG63
I ride on their laws
Life is about choices. I go straight ahead
-We arrive like this.
*-When they doubted me, I was the only one who believed
They will see me shine
AMG63 I drive on their laws
Life is about choices I go straight ahead
When they doubted me I was the only one believing
-He did a good job in the studio.
*-They will see me shine
They will see me shine
He hums.
-Cut! Well done everyone, that was the last scene of Lalpha.
-Well done, Sara!
-I need you.
I don't know why, Yamar is on our tail.
-Here, in Marseille?
-You need to bring Lalpha to Paris.
-Yeah, yeah!
Well done, you understood everything. That's exactly right, well done.
-Thanks. And thanks for your advice.
-Well done. -Did you enjoy it?
-Yeah, totally. -Sara, I'm going back to Paris
Shall we go together?
-That's much better.
We'll go back
late and you can see your son.
-OK, that works for me.
-OK? Come on, let's go.
Well done.
-Take care of yourself. -Thanks.
-Are you OK
to bring the rushes to Paris?
-Yeah.
-I'll take them, it's safer.
Considering how much the clip cost.
-Did they tell you?
-I'll go tomorrow to bring them to the record label.
-OK.
Sit down and I'll be there -OK, thanks.
-How did it go?
-Honestly, great, nothing to say. -Yeah?
I don't even ask you. -Don't even talk to me, you
-So, the photo shoot with Fatou?
-I don't know, she annoyed me.
-Annoyed? You don't dare to send her a message, yeah.
-Not at all, it's just that she's weird.
-For once, you have a girl who is into you, and you're sleeping.
-I don't know.
-Come on, come on.
-Get out of there.
Bunch of sons of bitches!
Get out of the car!
Move forward!
-Move your ass.
-It's okay, it's okay.
-Move, come on, move.
-Advance, on the ground.
-Move.
-Come on!
-Where are the clip images?
-In the car.
-Go ahead.
-You better not move or you're dead.
-Take out your phones.
-Your phones.
-Come on, quick! Put them in the truck.
Stand up.
-Move forward, I tell you, move forward.
-Come on. Move, move.
-Get in.
Take the truck, let's get out of here.
-What's going on?
-Yamar wants to sabotage the clip.
-Seriously? -Do you know these people?
-It's him. -Shut up!
-Let's go.
-Where are they taking us?
-I don't know.
-Do you know Marseille?
-They're going to
roast us all. -Shut up!
-They'll roast you first. -Shut up!
And you too.
...
-We stopped here.
Why is there no more noise?
We're going to get smoked.
They're going to smoke us.
They're going to smoke us -Shut up.
...
-Wait, I'll take her.
-Why are you putting on makeup? -Why are you doing your hair?
-I like it. -Me too, I like it.
-But it's pointless.
-Oh yes, it is.
-Hi! My son...
I missed you so much!
Was he well-behaved? -No. Of course he was.
I'll give you a kiss.
I have my train, I’ll leave you. -Thanks.
-Hi, how are you? -Hi.
-Sno, come in.
-Yeah.
-I'm so happy to see you again.
Guess who I saw.
-I don't know. -Alonzo.
-Are you serious? -Yes.
-We shot the clip. -Was it good?
-Honestly, it was great.
I was a little impressed. There was a big camera
placed on something at least 10 meters high.
Do you want to drink something?
A tea, a coffee? -A coffee, I’d like that.
-Okay. -Want to come see?
Liam, are you okay? -Yes.
-Do you want to see the photos with Alonzo?
-Yes.
-We were in Marseille. Do you know where that is?
-Yes.
-Do your friends like Alonzo? -Yes.
-What grade are you in?
-CM1.
-Is it going well? -Yes.
-Is she good, that one? -Yeah.
-How are we going to explain this to Sara?
She’s going to want to stop everything, for sure.
The whole industry will know it’s our fault.
We messed up an Alonzo clip worth 40,000 euros.
No one will want to work with us anymore, for sure.
-It’s you, too. You should have shut it down, Yamar.
-Shut it down?
Shut it down, Brahim? You're the one who’s going to shut it down.
Stop that.
It’s Cicheman behind all this.
-What, Cicheman? -He signed Yamar.
He’s the one who told him to come after us.
A car is approaching.
...
Door
-Hi, friends.
I told you well
not to get into this business without me, you sons of bitches.
What’s wrong, Brahim?
Aren’t you happy to see me?
-Yes, but...
But normally, you’re dead, right?
Sélim, bring me the cockroach.
-Come on, relax.
-Give me that.
Give me that.
Look at this.
What I found for you.
-Clément told me he found you
with a knife in your stomach.
-That's true.
That good old Sergio
came to get me and took me to the hospital.
I was bleeding out like a dog.
I was unconscious. -Sergio thought
that Clément stabbed you -He wanted to settle the scores
without me, then it was too late.
He had disappeared.
-Yamar must have taken him out.
-But I don't understand.
Why didn't you come back to the neighborhood?
-Are you doing it on purpose?
I got hit hard.
I was down to 20 kilos.
They could have faxed me.
I went down south to my cousin's to recover.
-How did you find us?
-One of my guys showed me a photo of Yamar.
I did a little investigation.
I understood he wanted to mess with your clip.
-Did you f*** his mother?
-No, he was already gone.
But I was able to talk
with his new friends.
-What new friends?
-Why is Yamar on your coast?
-Clément, he killed him.
-You guys have nothing to do with this go fast story.
-Brahim talked too much in the neighborhood.
So, Yamar didn't like that. He’s working
with our former producer, Cicheman.
He wants to f***
Apash Music - Cicheman...
And your rapper, who you just signed,
they have nothing against her?
-No, why?
-The guys with Yamar,
they work for a guy who knows her very well.
And he's a hothead.
-Hot how?
-He's very dangerous.
I’ll have to watch myself because of your bullshit.
But it's okay,
I’ll come back to Paris, you'll owe me for this.
-Were they after Lalpha?
-I don't know.
But your rapper,
she has a very bad reputation in Marseille.
What’s certain,
is that she hasn't said everything.
-Are you sure?
-I have no choice.
...
-Mr. Mastar.
-Mr. Rohff.
