Chicago 1990

"APLUS cannot get through. It should be on the plane to Tokyo. Linda also went to Italy."

In a high-end commercial street not far from Bedford Hills, Brenda’s agent and former singer Louis McCall helped Brenda open the door of the record store. “Don’t worry, Sony Columbia Records is only postponing for commercial reasons. After hitting the list, you only need to survive two weeks before you can become popular again."

"You've been popular, and you've been angry, you can understand my feelings right now, right? Louis."

The bell rang at the door, and Brenda walked into the shop as he spoke.

"Uh...I can understand, but what you said is a bit unpleasant."

Louis followed her with a wry smile. Brenda's emotional intelligence has always been a headache for him and his wife Linda. "Be careful when you wait for the rankings."

"rest assured."

"Aren't you accompanying Miss Kelly? Why did you run out alone."

"Huh, that woman has been calling her and APLUS's love nest to buy this and that, I have nothing to do next to me, very boring." After Brenda entered the door and stood in a prominent position in front of the cashier for a while, he observed Most of the customers in this stylishly decorated audio-visual store are teenagers and 20-year-old boys and girls. People coming and going, including the shop assistants, have no reaction to their arrival.

"No one can recognize us." She sighed sadly.

"I should have a higher chance of being recognized if I still have a beard."

Louis touched his bare chin. In order to establish his image as a business elite, he shaved his beard after switching to an artist management company in the mid-1980s. Since then, he has not been recognized on the street, of course, even before that. He still has a beard, and the probability of being recognized is very low. "I have been angry for fifteen years..." he said.

Brenda pestered for a while, "The customers here are all young people..." Not reconciled, she walked around in front of an older clerk again.

"This lady, please let me?" The other party complained, holding a cardboard box in his hand and dancing out the soundtrack of my life.

Brenda pursed her mouth, resisting the emotion of being open on the spot, and pulled out a box of CD from the carton. "The song was sung by APLUS and me, but the cover was him and Amy." Whispered to Louis, Song on the cover Ya and Amy are embracing each other affectionately.

"Otherwise? This is the original soundtrack of the movie, and there is no Elton John on the cover of the original Lion King soundtrack."

Louis pointed to the clerk, "Sony Columbia Records has already started selling, you just have to wait."

"Did you go to see the dance out of my life?"

Brenda turned to the vinyl record area in the back row and overheard the conversations of boys and girls.

"Look, the song is very nice, I like that song SayGoodbye, APLUS sings really well." A girl said, "How about you?"

"UMustBe, Donnie Breston performed very well, and the scene of dancing with the male and female protagonists on the dock is particularly beautiful." Her girlfriend replied.

"Yeah, it made me want to learn to dance a little bit. I asked my mom to call APLUS's agent..."

"What? Your mother knows his agent!?"

"Is it all right? Doesn't your family also live near APLUS and Mariah Carey's manor?"

"Uh, they haven't moved in yet. Wait a while. Maybe my dad can take them to visit them. Will you come together?"

"Yeah……"

"By the way, you haven't said what you want to do with his agent?"

"I want to ask what is the name of the prototype of the Art Institute of Chicago. The script was written by APLUS, and his agent must know it."

"Didn't all the students guess that it is Columbia University Chicago? You are going to study at Columbia University, right?"

"Wrong, I asked, that Columbia College in Chicago has nothing to do with Columbia University here."

"You don't want to go to Chicago to learn to dance, do you? That kind of street dance... Your mother will kill you.

"Anyway, ask first."

"You are crazy..."

"Stop talking about this, where shall we go next?"

"Go to the car before deciding. The driver should be anxious."

"Well, unknowingly, another day has passed... and I want to say I will go to Paris to watch the show this summer.

The conversation between the two faded away, "These rich white children." Louis smiled bitterly. "They were born with a golden spoon in their hands."

"The people living nearby are either rich or expensive." Brenda rummaged for a long time, feeling increasingly irritable. "Clerk!" She called the clerk, "Is there no Brenda record in your house? I danced the female singer in the soundtrack of my life."

"Uh, please wait a moment."

The clerk went to check the computer at the cash register for a long time, "Yes, ma'am, but in the warehouse, do you want it? Only vinyl records."

"Otherwise I ask what it does?"

"Okay, I'll find it for you." The clerk trot to the warehouse.

"Find out all!"

"Ok."

The two took the opportunity to observe in the store for a long time. In fact, not many of the original soundtracks of my life have been bought. Most young people here still like rock music. For example, Nirvana's long-released album Nevermind is still very popular."

"The place of the rich white man can't explain much." Louis explained to her.

"I have kept you waiting." The clerk came out with a few vinyl records and handed them to Brenda. "All you want is here."

"Well, it's still not recognized." Brenda was hit again.

Louis glanced at the young face on the record cover, then looked at the black aunt in front of him, "You try to speak in the voice that sings?"

Brenda shook his head, "Forget it, take me to Brooklyn, I want to visit more stores."

"Ok."

She didn't go to the cashier to pay, she just put the record on the shelf where I was dancing out of my life, and blocked Amy with her profile picture on the album cover. She ignored the clerk who looked sideways and swaggered to follow Louis to leave.

Louis drove, and the two returned to her'base camp', "Brenda!?" As soon as he entered the door, he was recognized by the old black man behind the cash register, "Yo! How long have we not seen each other?"

"It's only three years..." Brenda rolled his eyes and stared at him. The layout here is much simpler and rude. Only records are sold. There is a double-row record rack in the middle of a small store with popular albums and other discs. The films were all packed in a cardboard box, and they were simply sorted by genre, and they wanted to go through them one by one, so most of the customers were thinking about words with their heads down, very attentive, for fear of missing them.

"Do you know him?" Brenda pointed to Louis.

"Sorry?" The old man stared at him for a long time and shook his head blankly.

"How about this?" Louis covered his chin and covered his upper lip with a finger.

"Louis? Louis McCall?" The old man really recognized him. "You kid, I remember that you had a fight with your teammate more than ten years ago and drunk driving and injured someone? Then the world evaporated... now What? What are you doing?"

"Uh……"

The old bottom was exposed, Louis was embarrassed, "Still in the record industry, working as Brenda's agent. I've gotten back to the right!"

"Wow, you have to take this opportunity well and tell you quietly, the kids here love the song Brenda written for you by APLUS, but don't bankrupt yourself again." The old man stuck his head out. Whispered.

"Hey! Can you say something nice?"

Brenda walked into the store, "A+, A+, A+..." and she saw a black guy mumbling and flipping through APLUS's first vinyl record, "A+ is there, it's all." Louis patted his arm.

"Hey! Be careful!"

The other person seemed to be frightened. He turned around and pulled up his T-shirt, revealing the handle of the gun that was attached to the shiny belt of Xiao Pangdun, "No one told you the rules here? Nger in a suit?"

"Uh, sorry, I just want to remind you." Louis quickly raised his hands and pointed to the discount area.

"M-Fxxk." The other party didn't bother anymore, went there and found the A+ album smoothly, and took Zhang Wu out of the original soundtrack of my life, "You collect food stamps, right?"

"Keep your fucking down! Do you want me to go to jail?" The old man scolded him, and the two completed the transaction tacitly between the flashes of lightning.

"How long have you been out of this environment?" Brenda asked Louis.

"After Linda went to help, it's a pity, that kid is much more generous than APLUS." Louis replied.
