Devil's Music

The day of the performance.

The concert time was 6 pm, but Norman, who had met Abraham beforehand and tasted the grilled shrimp in JJ's Manhattan, cut the skin off the shrimp he had just baked.

“Haha, it's been a while since I've been here, so I'll let you have some. The shrimp here is delicious. ”

Abraham took the crispy grilled shrimp that Norman gave him and built an elongated smile, which made him lose his mind.

“Is that good? You said you got a lot of compliments from the company because of Kay's interview. ”

Abraham bared his teeth, smiling, and began to pick shrimp.

“Of course, it's an interview no one has won. To be honest, Kay was a musician who had a meeting in front of a lot of reporters, but never had a solo interview like I did. Even if it was a short time, the editor would want to rip his mouth out if he won an interview alone and even gave him my card. Haha.”

“Haha, Herald News is a big company without that. What are you wearing? ”

“Every single one of these made Herald News today, sir. ”

“Yes, it's true. Those who cannot concentrate on the present cannot create the future. Here, try this too. The watermelon is delicious too. ”

“Yes, sir, haha, I love your taste! ”

Whether he liked the look of Abraham laughing foolishly, Norman continued to eat with an elongated smile. Abraham was taking out his phone while eating and searching for news on the internet in real time.

“Oh, sir. Have you seen this news? ”

“What news? ”

Abraham reached out his cell phone and showed me the crystal.

“A man named Hand Mover. You must be a genius. View PPV Sales Repository We closed last night at 12: 00, and now we're sending our customers a PPV number via MMS text, and yesterday it was 93 million! This is more than the entire population of Kay's country! ”

Norman nods as if it were natural.

“Isn't it worth it? Keira is a musician at the top of the Billboard, and it's the last performance of the legendary Diva Leontine Price, and she sings in the lyrics of the newly emerging genius Kiska Miochi, and it's just that Cay, who's called an angel, gets a lot of attention in his time because of the Nepal incident. Oh, and the other thing is that 100 percent of the sales of PPV goes to Africa to help with hunger, plus a very cheap price. ”

Abraham pushed his phone forward and said in an excited tone.

“But, sir, 93 million dollars! 93 million dollars! With Korean money, Kay's country, it's over a trillion won. What kind of musician moves more than a trillion in a single performance? It's a one-year national budget based on a country that doesn't live quite as well. ”

Norman smiles bloody.

“It's already proven that Cay's money moves because of the Nepalese incident. Maybe it's more because he lives like it's about money. If there was a movement to make money, it wouldn't be this hot of a reaction. ”

Abraham clapped his hands as if that were the case.

“That's what I'm talking about! If Kay raised his percentage on the Nepalese fund-raiser, he would have taken hundreds of billions, even if he had taken a certain percentage of the show. How can a man not be so greedy for money? If you already have a lot of money and you're not greedy anymore, I get it, but Kay doesn't. Right?"

Norman wipes the oil off his fingers with a towel.

“Yes, they said they got five percent of the proceeds from Nepal, but I heard they donated an extra four percent, except for one percent of the proceeds. ”

Abraham opened his mouth and was unable to speak for a moment.

“4% more for · · · · · ·? Where did you find this? ”

Norman rolls a towel over to one side and says,

“My friend is one of the board members of Unicef. Kay came to me personally, gave me the money, asked me to keep it a secret. He was so moved, he was so drowsy, he said he'd donate and come to the show as soon as he heard the news. Unfortunately, my donation was a little under the radar, so I didn't get an invitation to see the performance in action. ”

Abraham folds his arms over the table and says, turning the food upside down with a fork.

“I've always wondered, how many invitations do you have to donate to see a performance? Are you going to be invited to all the big rejections? ”

Norman shakes his head and wipes his mouth.

“No, I heard that the person who has given me a lot of help in doing good so far is the top priority. For example, Warren Buff is continuing to make donations to the foundation of his friend Bill's wife, but he didn't make 10 cents, but was invited. Again, remember what happened last year? Someone left a large bag of money at Little Flower Children on Livingston Street. ”

“Ah! I remember. It was discovered by CCTV that a woman over the age of 90 left her lifetime savings behind. ”

“Yeah, she was invited, too. He says he's uncomfortable with his behavior, but he wants to borrow his grandson's power and come in a wheelchair. ”

“Right, but what about people who don't have records like that? It's a thousand seats, but not all seats are filled with people like that. ”

“Yes, the rest were invited in the order of donations. If the latter proceeded, some might say swearing, but no one swearing because of electrons. It's not a social obligation for rich people to make donations. Why should he donate the money he made? But they were doing it, and giving them the opportunity didn't bother the public either. I also know that new invitees have come in with donations and have a lot of room for such activities in the future. ”

“Oh, so lightning people don't suddenly get invited to pay a lot of money? ”

“That's what I know. She used her head well. ”

“Is that the work of the hand mover, too? ”

“I don't think so. It seemed to be the decision that Kay made before joining the show, and it seemed to be his will. ”

“Hmm · · Right. ”

Norman turns his head to check the clock on the wall and gets up from his seat.

“Time flies as we speak. I'm gonna stop at the concert. Where do you see it? ”

Abraham scratches his cheek with a pitiful look.

“Haha, I wasn't invited, so I should just look at my laptop outside. Instead, I bought over $400 headphones this time to listen to the music of the show properly! Haha”

Norman gets up, picks up the check and shakes it.

“Yes, poor Abraham. I'll do the math for you. Haha, then enjoy the show. ”

After Norman finished his calculations, he walked out on his own to fold into the Juliad Opera House. Many people were looking forward to seeing Julius as the show was approaching. When Norman arrived in front of Julius, looking at the bright faces of people, he saw many reporters filming and interviewing the audience entering the opera house. A journalist sees Norman in a dark coat, dressed in a polite suit, quickly shakes his hand at the cameraman, then runs over and gives out the microphone.

“Norman Lebrecht! Hi, I'm Danny Smalling with Channel 5 in the UK. Nice to see you in the United States. ”

Norman waves his hand and stops walking when he hears it's a famous channel in England.

“Channel 5? The British are here. ”

Danny nods his hand around the area and smiles.

“It's not just Britain. There are reporters from Korea, China, Japan and South-East Asia, and on the other side are journalists from France, Italy and Germany. There's some Mexican reporters coming. Most of the world's most famous news channel reporters are here. It's a show that's becoming so popular. ”

Norman nods as someone gently strokes his back. Surprised Norman looks back and sees a Hispanic man with a black-haired perm head smiling.

“Oops!! Carlos! Long time no see. ”

The journalist, who was watching Norman shake his hand loudly, mutters in astonishment.

“Car.. Carlos Montana · ·”

Carlos smiles and puts his hands on his waist.

“It's Kay's show. Of course I should come. You haven't forgotten, have you? that Kay's first tour was with me. Haha”

Norman smiles and accepts.

“Haha, right? Lollapalooza? Unfortunately, I didn't see that performance. Oh, you got an invitation? ”

“Yes, Kay sent me a ticket. Thanks to this, I've been stuck in Mexico for a long time. Haha”

“Haha, you did. Where are your seats?”

“Kay told me Norman was coming and asked me to sit next to you. Look, R 58. It's R 59, right? ”

“Oh, I see. I'm even more thrilled to hear you and Carlos perform together. Haha.”

One side of Danny interrupts, holding up the microphone and making a fuss.

“President Herald Winston!! ”

With Danny's eyes turned around like a broken neck, Herald Winston waves his hand down from the president's car. When Danny saw that all the reporters in one place had been pushed to Herald about the people he was interviewing, he nodded in desperation.

“Go ahead, Danny. that's going to be more of a talk than we are. ”

Danny smiled and said with a sorry expression.

“Ah! Go, thank you. And I'm sorry, sir. ”

“Haha, no. Go ahead. ”

The two elderly men who were looking at Danny's hastily running back walked leisurely down the road to the Opera House after the walls made by journalists had disappeared. Carlos, who showed the security guards his invitation in front of the Opera House, finds a seat at the door of the closed house ahead of him. It's still a little early, so Carlos quickly finds a seat in the uninhabited audience and gestures at Norman.

“Here we are, this way. ”

After Norman sat down with a smile, he suddenly opened his eyes to a stage covered with curtains.

“Haha, that must be Keisha Miochi. ”

“Yes? Uh, where? Where?”

In Carlos' eyes, he sticks his head out between the curtains and looks at people with a playful look.
