Script:
THERE ARE SPECIAL PLACES ON THIS EARTH. MEMPHIS TENNESSEE IS ONE OF THOSE PLACES. ITS SAW THE BIRTH OF MORE MUSICAL GENRES THAT ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE PLANET.
ROYAL STUDIOS IS THE MOST SOUGHT AFTER RECORDING MECCA FOR ARTISTS FROM THE 50’S TO TODAY
WILLIE MITCHELL STARTED IT IN 1957 AND WAS THE FIRST PRODUCER TO PUT MUSICAL ICONS INCLUDING AL GREEN AND CHUCK BERRY ON THE MAP
TODAY THE NEXT GENERATION HAS TAKEN OVER AND PRODUCED ARTISTS LIKE JOHN MAYER, SNOPP DOG AND BRUNO MARS
AND TO THIS DAY THE RECORDING STUDIO IS RUN BY THE SAME FAMILY
WILLIE MITCHELL STARTED THE COMPANY AND NOW HIS SON BOO IS THE PRODUCER OF THE ARTISTS AND OONA RUNS THE BUSINESS
AUNTS LORRAINE AND YVONNE HAVE BEEN WITH ROYAL SINCE THE BEGINNING AND TAKE NO SHIT… AND THEY DO ALL THE CATERING
BOO’S SON URIAH IS AN UP AND COMING RAPPER
AND HIS OTHER SON ELIJAH IS A PRODUCER, FOLLOWING HIS DAD’S FOOTSTEPS
AND THE REST OF THE KIDS HAVE TO HELP OUT TOO
BUT LIKE ANY FAMILY, THEY HAVE THEIR PROBLEMS
IN THE 90’S BOO AND HIS BROTHER ARCHIE WERE A SUCCESSFUL MUSIC DUO – KNOWN AS THE M-TEAM
THEY HAD A FALLING OUT… AND THE FAMILY DECIDED TO KICK ARCHIE OUT
EVERYONE IN TOWN KNOWS ARCHIE IS A MUSIC GENIUS AND A FIGHTER… WHO JUST STARTED A NEW COMPANY ACROSS TOWN
HE AND HIS SON ARCHIE JUNIOR ARE TAKING THE REST OF THE FAMILY HEAD ON
NOW ITS MITCHELL VS MITCHELL
WITH THE SUCCESS OF UPTOWN FUNK OONA AND BOO WANT TO TAKE THE BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND NOT JUST RECORD ARTISTS… BUT START SIGNING THEM TO THEIR OWN LABEL
AS A STUDIO YOU GET PAYED TO PRODUCE AND RECORD MUSIC… BUT HAVING YOUR OWN LABEL MEANS MANAGING THE ARTISTS AND MAKING BIG MONEY OFF THE MUSIC ROYALTIES
AND TURNS OUT THAT ARCHIE AND AJ ARE PLAYING THE SAME GAME
WITH THE RECENT SUCCESS MANY OF THE INDUSTRY WANT A PIECE OF THE ROYAL PIE
AS THE ROYAL FAMILY OF MEMPHIS, THEY DONT JUST PRODUCE MUSIC THEY PRODUCE AND HOST MAJOR MUSIC EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD – INCLUDING THE MEMPHIS MUSIC HALL OF FAME
THIS YEAR KEITH RICHARDS AND JUSTIN TIMBERLINE ARE BEING INDUCTED… AND ALONG FOR THE RIDE IS HIS BEST FRIEND JIMMY FALLON
BOO AND OONA ARE PRODUCING THE ENTIRE EVENT… AND THE PRESSURE IS ON
OONA WANTS ARCHIE BACK IN THE FAMILY FOLD. INSTEAD OF COMPETING IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS, THEY SHOULD BE WORKING TOGETHER.
BUT BOO AND ARCHIE HAVE NOT TALKED TO EACH OTHER IN 3 YEARS.
OONA CALLED AJ TO AND THE TWO OF THEM HAVE A PLAN TO GET THE BROTHERS BACK TOGETHER
THEY WANT TO REUNITE THE FAMILY AND TAKE THE BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
