Chicago 1990

Chapter 19

Song Ya also lacked sleep these days, and soon followed Eric to snoring.

I don't know how long it took, sleeping soundly, and suddenly awakened by the fierce quarrel outside, only to hear a series of swear words starting with F.

"what happened?"

He rubbed his eyes and got up. Eric opened the door of the recording studio and was leaning against the door frame to watch the excitement. No wonder he was awakened.

Eric turned his head and put his index finger to his mouth, compared the gesture of individual speech, and then threw a piece of colored paper.

It turned out to be the cassette cover of Little Lori’s first album. The design is not so brilliant. The protagonist Little Lori is dressed up in a hip-hop style, holding a microphone in one hand and pointing straight ahead coolly. The title below is the full name of Lori’s name. 'Lori II'.

Song Ya thought for a while before he understood the implicit meaning of the cover:'The new album has nothing to do with Al'. You must know that the posters in the old Qiao music hall have always been Lowry and Al, with Lowry as the main player. Yes, but Al can't be ignored, but now...

He listened carefully, and sure enough, it was Al who yelled outside.

When I walked to Eric, there were many new album covers and accompanying lyrics pages scattered in the corridor outside. I don't know who had thrown them like this.

Picking up a lyric page, Song Ya remembers that the new album originally had fifteen songs, plus her own second-hand store, a total of sixteen songs, but this lyric page only contains the lyrics of thirteen songs. Quietly removed three songs, and these three songs...

He tried to remember for a while, and yes, the removed songs were exactly the three songs with the strongest presence in Al.

At this moment Carl ran past the door, and three seconds later, Al's cursing stopped abruptly.

"Wow..." Eric followed.

Song Ya hid behind him.

In Old Joe’s office, the messy furnishings were broken all over the floor. The red-eyed Al was tightly locked by Carl’s arms, and his mouth was blocked by Carl’s hands, but he still refused to give up and kept twisting around. Trying to break free, both feet are still struggling to reach for Old Joe.

Old Joe, Pablo, Little Lowry, Tony, and others are all there. There are still a few clear footprints on the old Joe's pink suit. Little Lowry, who is guarded by Tony, has no expression on his face, and doesn't know what he is thinking.

"Calm down! Al!" Pablo kept persuading him, "This is our deliberate decision. It's good for everyone! You also want the new monopoly to sell, right? As long as the new monopoly gets the results, in fact It’s still good for you, but it’s just three songs. You are not in the other songs..."

After a few minutes, Xu Shi had a deeper understanding of Karl's force value, and Al finally gave up the struggle and gradually stopped.

"Let go of him." Pablo waved his hand.

Carl let go.

"BullSHXT!" Al did calm down and tidy up his messy clothes. "If I hadn't seen the samples sent by the factory by accident, you would release them to the new album without telling me. Don't say anything good, it's all Liar! I'm blind."

"Hey! It's not a question of cheating, business is business." Pablo said.

"Yeah, yeah..."

Pushing Carl away, Al walked out, "I can see it through, you rich and powerful Ngers, you are tired of logging in front of us on weekdays, brother, when things come, you will know the business of white people. is business, business is business talking..."

"Hey!" Pablo tried to call him, "Where are you going? The promotion of the new album will begin soon!"

"Promotion without me, don't dream!"

Pablo's temper also came up, "Don't play tricks, you idiot! I'm your agent, you have to follow the arrangements!"

"You have been fired."

Al didn't look back, leaving everyone looking at each other.

"This idiot!" Pablo cursed.

Old Qiao took off the pink suit and sat back at the boss’s desk, "You have to get him done. You can't let him go out and talk nonsense at this time."

"How can I do it! It's all a good thing from your bad idea!" Pablo unbuttoned the two buttons at the collar of his shirt and lapped around in place. "You!" He snapped his fingers to Tony. "Go If you persuade him to come back, if it doesn't work, you have to stabilize him first!"

"What can I do..." Tony murmured, seeing Pablo getting angry again, he had to chase after him.

"Now the hip-hop ventriloquism has not been bought by the audience. Even if there is no new song from APLUS, I am actually going to reduce Al's proportion in the album." Old Joe told the truth, "Lori's goal is young women, Al Na looks like It's pure chaos."

"It looks ugly and has no human rights!"

After listening to this, Song Ya complained in his heart. After this small episode, his life should be back on track. There is nothing about him in the new special promotion, even Pablo and Lori need to deliberately downplay him. The impact of this song on second-hand stores, so the credits program is restarted!

It's a pity that things went counterproductive. When he returned home, he saw Al again. He and Tony were playing games in the room, Super Mario.

The two guys didn't give up until twelve o'clock in the night. Al's mood gradually eased, talking more and more, and yelling with Tony.

Song Ya lay on the bed crying without tears. The red and white camera and the small TV had just been bought from the second-hand market. Now he regrets it very much.

I can't sleep even when I sleep, and I feel like I'm going to be brainwashed by the tink of gold coins in the game.

The income of four thousand five hundred dollars, the purchase of a car and other second-hand items cost two thousand five, which was given to Aunt Susie five hundred, and the remaining fifteen thousand were deposited in the bank by him, in exchange for a cheque book, how to spend it back No plan.He also specifically asked about taxation. The income from January to April of this year will be paid in the tax season of April next year (thanks to the book friends who like the fire-breathing black dragon for correction), so don't worry too much.

I don’t know when the next Apocalypse will come. According to the agent Hayden, the record royalties cannot be expected to be settled in a short time. It is common for a year and a half to delay, especially after the incident of Al, Song Ya has a better understanding of Old Joe and Pablo's morals, and he instructs Hayden to keep an eye on the royalties and don't let them make small moves.This is also closely related to Hayden's own interests. He told Song Ya to rest assured, after all, they are behind the first-class brokerage company in the United States. William Morris is not a vegetarian. This is the benefit of signing a large company.

At two o'clock, the brothers in front of the TV had no intention of giving up.

"Hey, Al."

Song Ya decided not to let them go anymore, otherwise he would worry about learning to dominate his career. "What do you plan to do next?" he asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Al put down the handle, "Continue to work in the restaurant, continue to mix, I don't have a gang background, and I can't do anything about them, just think of it as a star dream."

"WTF, are you so Buddha-like?" Song Ya secretly asked.However, as long as Al doesn’t make trouble or go out and talk nonsense to the media, it’s in his own interest. After all, the album’s promotion period is really afraid of such negative news, and the number of songs on Lori’s album has decreased, and the percentage of royalties he can get. Also increased.

"You're a good brother, it's okay. I'll go back and tell Little Lori that we are all a family." Tony was very nervous. "You go back and apologize to Pablo, saying that during the day there were some angry things... …"

"Don't you understand?" Albitoni understands human nature. "I was like that during the day. Little Lori didn't say a word. Don't you know his attitude? The album changed from the two of us to his alone. He is the biggest beneficiary, business is business, Pablo obviously gave me up."

"Uh..." Tony didn't know what to say, "It's okay, brother, you should take a good rest for two days, think about it." He said to Song Ya again: "Al doesn't want to live with Little Lori, this I'll sleep in my bed for a few days, and I will live with Little Lori."

"What!?"

Song Ya Negro questioned, looking at Al who picked up the handle to continue the "conquest", helplessly covered his head with the quilt.
