Chicago 1990

Song Ya can understand Al’s motivation for such an "axis", but I really can’t agree. What’s wrong with being aggrieved? It’s a common social phenomenon to work with people you don’t like, and it’s the same in the United States.Such a large sum of money is in sight. You can earn it without earning others, but it will be cheaper than Pablo those people you hate. I am afraid that the beneficiaries will count the money and laugh at you stupidly. This makes sense. Don't understand?

But he didn't want to persuade him anymore. If he persuaded Al and one day he didn't control the actual use of the gun to sweep people, Tony's brother would still be a follower in front of Little Lori... Oh no, partner.

Safety first.

In the second week, after the stage of taking money and brainless flattery, the DJs of Chicago Radio began to objectively and calmly analyze the second-hand store song. They couldn't comment on the accidental fall, but overall it was still very high.Supermarkets, restaurants, and other stores have successively included this song in the background music playlist, and familiar melody sounded in the students’ Walkman from time to time, especially in second-hand stores large and small. They loved this song to death and opened it directly. Infinite brainwashing cycle mode.

In Illinois alone, the first 7,000 cassettes were sold out in about ten days, and the subsequent 10,000 cassettes have been restocked.

Old Joe and Pablo were very encouraged, and put the next step of publicity directly on the Greater New York area in the Northeast..., the core area of ​​the U.S. recording industry. They plan to travel to New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and Washington in six days. City, directly arched the album of Lori II into the TOP200 bulletin board, which is the top position of the weekly album sales chart.

Song Ya felt that his song was already on the eve of the sky.

However, the reality is cruel.

On Friday night, Tony called and they bumped their heads on the iron plate this time.

At the first stop, they were lost in the endless ocean of media in New York. Two radio interviews and a small-scale performance did not even stir the slight waves.

In Philadelphia, Old Joe was ridiculed in public by the well-known DJ Philby in an interview. Because Philby's words were too harsh, the two sides almost staged a full-fledged action outside the broadcast room.

In Baltimore, when he was performing at the Little Lori nightclub, he was interrupted by an unknown rapper. The young and energetic man agreed to the impromptu battle, but he was dumbfounded within a few rounds.

"on the stage?"

"On the stage, Little Lori was holding the microphone, his mouth was moving, but there was no sound at all. I felt his tears swirling in his eyes, and people were already shaking. I was about to rush up and punch the guy opposite. Get down, Pablo caught me."

From the description of Tony on the phone, Song Ya substituted himself to feel the embarrassment of Lori at the time, emmmm... the goose bumps were about to rise.

More than that, there were also problems within the propaganda team. Old Joe and Pablo broke out violent quarrels several times, and Little Lori was dissatisfied with the lack of physical strength of Old Morgan, which dragged down the progress of the whole group.

"Don't blame them, they are really tired. We have to sleep on the plane. We have to rush to the airport when we get off the plane. We have to turn around and have time to eat and go to the toilet. In this state, everyone is in a bad mood. There’s something wrong with Joe’s publicity strategy. Maybe we shouldn’t go to New York first, and the schedule shouldn’t be too tight... Well... Pablo said." Tony found a reason, "Don’t arrange anything else on Sunday, they I want to have a meeting with you."

"All right..." Song Ya could say anything else, it was all grasshoppers on a boat.

On Sunday, Song Ya called her agent Hayden to come to Lao Qiao Music.

However, the atmosphere of Lao Qiao Music today is a bit wrong. There are two black men standing outside the door, one is very vigilant to observe the surroundings, and the other is responsible for searching Song Ya and Hayden. They searched very carefully, opposite the vehicle at the entrance of the underground nightclub. Also a lot more.

"This job..." After entering the door, Hayden seemed to regret taking over Song Ya as a client.

"It's okay, the gang has to be reasonable." Song Ya can only comfort him.

Old Qiao’s office was full of people. Behind the boss’s desk, a thirty-year-old black guy with a scalp turban and a cigar in his mouth leaned lazily against the back of the chair, "Are you all here? Then? Let's start, you all go out." He waved.

Song Ya, who has become more and more experienced in life, can recognize the hidden meaning of the various flower headscarves in Nancheng, which is the same as the dead'ET', with the swash of'Hell Bobcat' on it, indicating that the name of the gang belongs to hell The short-tailed cat, and the six-pointed star pattern on the turban represents its submission to the larger gang GD, and then GD leads a gang alliance FN, Folk.FN is currently hostile to another gang alliance, PN, People.

People walked for more than a half in an instant, "Tony, you go out too." Pablo drove Tony out, who was still standing there.

"Is this white guy?" The big guy pointed to Hayden.

Song Ya replied: "He is my agent."

"Is it his own?" the boss asked.

"Uh..." Song Ya couldn't answer, so Pablo made a relief, "Hayden, go out too."

"Okay, okay." Hayden didn't dare to breathe, and quickly walked out.

There were only six people left in the room: Big Brother, Song Ya, Old Joe, Pablo, Little Lori and Old Morgan.

"Let's get started. I don't know anything about the record industry. I'm just a shareholder and a mediator." It turns out that this gangster from Hell's Bobcat is a shareholder of Old Qiao Music, and may also be the backer of the gang of people present.

"I ask for a substitution!"

Little Lori fired the first shot and pointed clearly at Old Morgan, "Because of you, our schedule has been delayed for a whole day! You have repeatedly made mistakes on stage."

"What can I do, I'm so old."

Old Morgan obviously didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to make money. He retorted: "I'm too tired. It's fine to get through this period. It's impossible to always do high-intensity publicity."

"You are tired of your mother, you are peeing too much! You hold the bottle and blow it as soon as you get on the plane, you old drunkard!" Little Lori unceremoniously pierced the other's lies.

"Hey! Hey! Be respectful, kid, you haven't been born when I became popular! I won't be crying on stage!" Old Morgan's counterattack was sharp and vicious.

"M-FXXX! You damn old guy!" Little Lori, who was trampled on the sore spot, was furious, and he rushed up like a spring and rushed on Old Morgan.

"Hey! Hey!" Old Joe and Pablo quickly separated them.

Old Morgan didn't dare to irritate the other person any more, and looked at Old Joe pitifully.

Old Joe eased his cheeks for him, "Morgan, you can't drink that much anymore..."

"I, my fault, I swear this kind of thing won't happen again" Old Morgan softened down the ladder.

"Pablo, aren't you their agent? What do you think?" The boss looked at Pablo, "Do you accept Old Morgan's guarantee?"

"Old Morgan watched us grow up. I won't let him suffer." Pablo shrugged. "But he can't keep up with the intensity of the album's promotion period. You can find a saxophone player to replace it first, and then take the scene. Let him come on during the show."

"Pablo you..." Old Morgan swallowed the dirty words again.

"Old Morgan, do you agree to do this?" the boss asked.

Old Morgan nodded aggrievedly.

"And then? What else?" The boss continued to control the field.

The next step is the conflict between Old Joe and Pablo. Pablo calmly said: "This time we messed up the publicity in the Greater New York area. I don’t think we can do this anymore. Some companies in the Big Six have contacted me and they are willing Help with the release, this is a win-win situation."

"Win-win? Haha..." Old Qiao sneered, "They have to share 30% of them when they enter the market. That's all our money. I haven't settled with you the account of secretly negotiating transactions with them behind your back! "

"Don't be naive, Joe." Pablo said, "Don't you understand? What happened in New York this week is the meeting gift given to us by the Sixth National Congress. Otherwise, Phil in Philadelphia has paid us the money. Risking your reputation for breaking the rules and regulations? No power behind instructs him to never dare to do it! Small-scale distribution, no problem, national distribution, we can't do it without the Big Six, don't be short-sighted!"

"Wait, wait." The boss was a little confused, "Pablo, which six gangs do you mean by the six?"

"Uh..." Pablo was taken aback and explained: "It's not a gang, but six major record companies. They are Warner, Universal, Sony Columbia, Polygram, EMI and BMG (Bertelsmann Music)."
