Chicago 1990

Chapter 76

After receiving the news that it might be airborne in the top 50 of the Billboard Singles Chart in the first week, Song Ya temporarily changed his itinerary. On the evening of the 27th, he took people and Joe to fly directly to Los Angeles. Detroit asked Big A and Tony to help run, Xiao Luo Rui had an affair with a daughter of a famous music industry in Detroit, and Tony is still a bit of a way to follow.

Everything is for the ranking on the twenty-ninth list.

"Old Joe, you have lost weight..."

"Ah? Really? I'm too tired these days." After getting on the plane, Old Joe sat in a daze, lethargic.

Thinking of the figures of the four aunts, Song Ya felt sorry for the old Qiao in front of him for a second.

Old Joe was worried, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything. He squinted quickly after getting on the plane and fell asleep to Los Angeles.

As soon as she checked into the hotel in Compton, Los Angeles, Song Ya hung up Halle Berry.

After the MV was broadcast, Halle specifically called to thank her. According to what she said, various invitations had skyrocketed, and she was struggling to weigh with her agent.Of course, she didn't forget to tell Song Ya that coming to Los Angeles would treat him well.

"Thank you APLUS!"

Hallie on the other end of the phone was very excited, "I accepted Spike Lee’s invitation to star in the movie "Jungle Fever" he wrote, directed and acted! I'm ready to join the group, yes! He is a supporting role. Oh my god, that's it. In just two days, I feel that the whole world has changed. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Where is the hotel? I will pass."

Spike Lee is a rare black director in Hollywood. He is on the rise. Last year he was nominated for an Oscar for original screenplay and Cannes Palme d’Or.

Song Ya congratulated him. Half an hour later, Hallie called again. This time she became a little hesitant, "Is it convenient for my agent to see you?"

"CAA?"

"Yes."

It seems that CAA has noticed that his agent appointment is coming soon. It’s good for him to compete with William Morris, but now he has no time to understand the pros and cons, and he knows that Halle’s agent is a small role. Convenient, my agent lives next door, and our trip in Los Angeles is very fast."

"Well, I'll go by myself." Hallie hung up the phone.

After a while, someone knocked on the door outside the room.

He went to open it, and Old Joe walked in in his pajamas.

"I thought and thought, you still don't go to see'Big E'tomorrow. I will help you greet him for the singles promotion." Old Joe sat on the sofa in the room with a serious expression.

"why?"

Song Ya was a little confused, didn't he come for nothing?This old Joe, is it regrettable that he doesn't want to have a relationship with NWA?

"That's it, 79 years..." Old Joe said a piece of history.

In 1979, Williams, the founder of the lame gang belonging to the NWA, entered a Los Angeles motel and shot and killed the Chinese-American owner and his wife of the hotel and wounded their daughter.

Because of this case and several other murders, Williams was arrested in 1981 and sentenced to death.

"Although the crippled gang is in fact split, Williams has had the embryonic form of the crippled gang before, but in general, they all recognize Williams as the founder. So..."

Old Qiao said slowly: "Although it was ten years ago, as far as I know, the Chinese community in Los Angeles is still seeking to get Williams executed as soon as possible. Because of your blood, you have to deal with the lame. Be extra careful. Maybe most of the young people on both sides don’t know about this past, but as long as this topic has something to do with you, I just thought about it in the room. You can’t deal with it perfectly. Neutrality will be affected by both sides. To look down upon and to favor the Chinese is morally correct, but it will lose the black market, and it will attract the hatred of the lame. If you are biased towards blacks, the Chinese will look down on you and cannot please blacks."

"Is that so?"

Song Ya sat down on the bedside, "The Cripple Gang is the largest black gang in the country, right?" He murmured.

"That doesn't matter, there are too many people. The lame gang has split into pieces a long time ago, and they kill more among themselves." Old Joe said.

"Thank you, old Joe." Song Ya's thanks came from the heart.

"So you remember, the future cooperation with the lame must go through the middleman." Old Joe warned.

Sending away Old Joe, Song Ya sat in the room and thought for a long time. He didn't get out of this heavy topic until Hallie knocked on the door outside.

"Aren't you busy?" At ten o'clock in the morning, Halle put on her clothes and was about to leave.

"I just don't want to see your agent."

Song Ya perfunctorily left her and dialed Song Asheng's number, "Do you know about the Los Angeles motel murder in 1979?"

"Yes, I want to donate a sum of money to Chinese groups that urge the execution of the death penalty as soon as possible, in your name..."

Although he didn't leave any memories of his previous life, Song Ya knew he was a Chinese, so if he wanted to understand, there was nothing to entangle with.

I don’t know how Old Qiao communicated. Big'E' was pretty sloppy. On the 28th, when Song Ya left Los Angeles, many DJs started to push I feel it coming, but the momentum was better than that of New York. Places like Chicago are much smaller.

Song Ya didn't give money to let'Big E'put more effort into it. That guy and the team's Cooper had black money, and his reputation in this area was really bad.

Let Joe go back to Chicago on his own. He changed his itinerary again to another big city on the West Coast, San Francisco, a city with many Chinese descent.

This time he took the initiative to contact Columbia Records to contact a Chinese-American radio station for the entire Chinese interview, during which he also showed two bad Cantonese sentences.

"Do you also have investments in Silicon Valley?"

The average economic strength of the Chinese is much higher than that of blacks, and so is the investment enthusiasm. After the interview, he and the people on the radio naturally chatted about Silicon Valley, which is very close to San Francisco.

Song Ya reported several stocks he bought.

"Wang An Computer..." Several radio staff laughed.

"what happened?"

The other party laughed without answering.

Song Ya knew that this was not optimistic. It was just that the other party hadn't stated clearly because of the cautious disposition that more Chinese is worse than less, so he hurriedly directed Song Asheng to contact the stock broker and clear Wang An Computer's stock.

"Now selling is a loss, it is better to cover the position..." Song Asheng suggested.

"I'll make up your mother!"

Forcing Song Asheng to sell his stock, he hurriedly ended his trip to the west coast and rushed to the south of the United States.

On the 29th, on the Billboard Singles Chart, I feel it coming dropped to No. 15 with less than 100,000 sales, just after Mariah Carey’s Love Takes Time.

The bulletin board magazine also attached a resume and short comment.

Alexander Song, whose stage name is APLUS, has Chinese and African ancestry. He sprang up in Chicago in 1990 and is known for his talent and changeable style.

The second-hand shop for rap songs composed by him and co-wrote the lyrics with Lori II, currently has triple platinum sales.Later, he composed an equal rights song to De Klerk, which was sung by Milla Jovovich. This single created double platinum sales in North America, and its overseas sales momentum was also very gratifying.

At the end of the year, after signing with Columbia Records, his debut single, I feel it coming, which took over lyrics, music and singing, dropped to No. 15 in the first week of its release. This single is an innovative style combining retro singing and electronic music. It has been well received by music critics and radio DJs. At present, the on-demand rate of major radio stations in the whole rice is still high, and the stamina is full.
