Chapter 19 Business Is Business

Song Ya also lacks sleep these days, and soon followed Eric to snore.

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

"What's wrong?"

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 woken up.

Eric turned around and put his index finger to his mouth, made some speaking gestures, and then threw a piece of colored paper over.

It turned out to be the cassette cover of Little Lowry's first album. The design is nothing special. The protagonist Little Lowry is dressed in a hip-hop style, holding a microphone in one hand and pointing coolly in the other. The title below is the full name of Little Lowry. 'Lowry II'.

Song Ya thought for a while before she understood the hidden meaning of the cover: "What's the matter with the new album without Al?" You must know that the promotional posters in the old Joe's music hall have always been Lori and Al, and Lori is the main one. That's right, but Al can't be ignored, but now...

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

Walking to Eric, there are many new album covers and attached lyrics pages scattered in the corridor outside, and I don’t know who threw them like this.

Picking up a lyric page, Song Ya remembered that there were fifteen songs in the new album, and a total of sixteen songs including her own second-hand store, but there were only thirteen songs on this lyric page. Quietly removed three songs, and these three songs...

He tried to recall for a while, yes, the songs that were removed were the three songs that Al had the strongest sense of presence.

At this time, Carl ran past the door, and after three seconds, Al's shouting stopped abruptly.

"Wow..." Eric followed.

Song Ya hid behind him.

In Old Joe's office, the messy furnishings were scattered all over the floor. Al, with red eyes, was tightly locked by Carl's arms, and his mouth was blocked by Carl's hand, but he still refused to give up and kept twisting his body. Trying to break free, both feet still struggled to reach in the direction of Old Qiao.

Old Joe, Pablo, Little Lowry, Tony and others were all there, and there were still a few clear footprints on Old Joe's pink suit. Little Lowry, who was guarded by Tony behind him, was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Calm down! Al!" Pablo kept persuading him, "This is our decision after careful consideration, which is good for everyone! You also hope that the new album will sell well, right? As long as the new album has results, in fact It's still a good thing for you, but it's just three songs, isn't there you in the other songs..."

After a few minutes, Xu had a deeper understanding of Karl's force value, and Al finally gave up struggling and gradually calmed down.

"Let him go." Pablo waved his hand.

Carl let go of his hand.

"BullSHXT!" Al really calmed down, messing up his clothes, "If I hadn't accidentally seen the samples sent by the factory, you would have released the new album without telling me, don't just say nice things, it's all Liar! Count me blind."

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

"Yeah, yeah..."

Pushing Carl away, Al went out, "I see it through, you rich and powerful NGers are tired of logging in front of us every day, brother, when things come to an end, you will know how to use the white business is business, business is just talking about business..."

"Hey!" Pablo tried to stop him, "Where are you going? The promotion of the new album is about to start!"

"Propaganda without me, stop dreaming!"

Pablo's temper also came up, "Don't play tricks, you idiot! I'm your manager, you have to obey the arrangement!"

"You're fired."

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

"The idiot!" Pablo yelled.

Old Qiao took off his pink suit and sat back behind the boss's desk, "You have to deal with him, and you can't let him go out and talk nonsense at this time."

"How can I do it! It's all because of your bad idea!" Pablo unbuttoned two buttons on the collar of his shirt and circled it a few times, "You!" He snapped his fingers to Tony, "Go Persuade him to come back, if it doesn't work, you have to stabilize him first!"

"What can I do..." Tony muttered, seeing that Pablo was about to get angry again, he had to chase him out.

"Now hip-hop ventriloquist is not bought by listeners. Even if there is no new song from APLUS, I am actually planning to reduce the proportion of Al in the album." Old Joe told the truth, "Lowry's goal is young women. It's pure chaos."

"Ugly has no human rights!"

After hearing 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 promotion of the new album, and even Pablo and Little Lowry need to deliberately downplay him. The influence of this song on the second-hand shop, so, the credits plan to restart!

Unfortunately, things backfired. When he returned home, he saw Al again. He and Tony were playing the game Super Mario in the room.

The two guys refused to stop playing until twelve o'clock at night. Al's mood gradually eased, he talked more and more, and even yelled with Tony.

Song Ya was lying on the bed wanting to cry, but she had just bought the red and white machine and small TV from the second-hand market, and now she regretted it very much.

I can't sleep, I feel like I'm going to be brainwashed by the sound of eating gold coins in the game.

With an income of 4,500 knives, 2,500 was spent on buying a car and other second-hand items, and 500 was given to Aunt Susie, and he deposited the remaining 1,500 knives in the bank. No plan. He also specifically asked about paying taxes. The income from January to April this year will be calculated and paid in the tax season in April next year (thanks to the book friends who like the fire-breathing black dragon for correcting mistakes), so there is no need to worry too much.

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

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

"Hey, Al."

Song Ya decided that he could not let them go any longer, otherwise his career as a master would be in jeopardy. "What are your plans next?" he asked.

"I haven't figured it out yet."

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

"WTF, are you so Buddha-like?" Song Ya thought to herself. But as long as Al doesn't make trouble and doesn't go out and talk nonsense to the media, it's actually in his own interest. After all, during the album promotion period, he is really afraid of such negative news, and the number of songs on Little Lowry's album has decreased, so the percentage of royalties he can share also raised.

"You're a good brother, it's okay, I'll go back and talk to Little Lowry, we're all family." Tony said nervously, "You go back and apologize to Pablo, saying that you were angry during the day... ..."

"Don't you understand?" Elby Tony understands human nature, "I made a fuss during the day, little Lowry 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, and 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 and think about it." He said to Song Ya again: "Al doesn't want to live with Little Lowry anymore. Sleep in my bed for a few days, and I will live with little Lowry."

"What!?"

Song Ya's black question mark, looking at Al, who picked up the handle and continued to "conquer", covered his head with a quilt helplessly.
