Chapter 22 Week 3
"Have you seen the godfather?" Old Joe suddenly asked.
The boss slowly took a puff on his cigar, "Who hasn't seen it."
"I haven't watched it, my family is poor." Song Ya just remembered that he hasn't seen even a movie after time travel, and he can't remember what he watched in his previous life. Of course he didn't say this.
Old Qiao said slowly: "Whoever proposes peace is a traitor..."
"You doubt me? Haha!" Pablo laughed, "A big company has contacted me privately, but what can this prove? This is business, not fighting, and the Italian Things are out of date."
"Pablo, you say I'm naive, but I want to say that you haven't figured it out yet." Old Qiao stared at him and said, "Contact the company you asked for cooperation, and the big company you said gave us a gift , must be the same gang! Just like Godfather Ribasini assassinated Sonny!"
"FXXX!"
Pablo shouted loudly, "Why are you clinging to these old brains!? I can guess but I don't care! They are willing to spend so much effort to play tricks, doesn't it mean that they are very optimistic about Little Lowry and this album? Which one? Can black people who sing and rap deserve their attention? Business is business, and it’s obviously a win-win situation. I don’t understand why you’re hesitating! Thirty percent is the market price in the industry. Maybe we don’t give them thirty percent? Only if you can reach 100,000 sales, if you give it, you can sell hundreds of thousands, millions, which option makes more money, don’t you know how to count?”
"Emmm..." The boss raised his hand, "Let me ask, which company made it?"
"Warner." Pablo looked at the boss in surprise, "You don't want revenge, do you? I advise you not to..."
"The Warner Bros. who made the movie?" the boss asked again.
"Yes, they belong to the same company."
"Forget it... I can't afford to offend you. Drug dealers can't compete with big capitalists." The boss put down his hands and turned his gaze to Song Ya, "Hey, you are APLUS, right? What do you think about this matter, please give me some advice."
"What can I say?" Song Ya was shocked, "I'm a high school student!"
"What's wrong with high school students, I killed them all in high school... Forget about it, didn't you have a perfect score in math? You must have a better brain than us. You can say whatever you want, and I will do everything."
"Uh……"
Song Ya looked at Old Joe and then at Pablo. Both of them stared at him with piercing eyes. Emotionally, he supported Old Joe, but he felt that Pablo's approach was more beneficial to him, and Brother Tony was still there. What about "employment" around Little Lowry...
According to his understanding, Pablo and Old Joe had great differences. After a trip to the Greater New York area last week, Pablo changed his mind and began to try to introduce major record companies to assist in the release of albums. The strength and ability to package singers are unmatched by Old Joe's music. The records will sell more and faster, and the future of Little Lowry will go wider and wider.
But Old Qiao is much more conservative. He is still the same way of national tour announcements and radio sales charts. He lost control of everything, and he was very disgusted with the practice of big companies making trouble behind their backs and trying to pretend to be a good person to enter the market and divide the meat.
"I have no objection..." Song Ya still decided that one more thing is worse than one less thing.
"I'm here, you don't have to worry, you can say whatever you want." The boss encouraged him.
Song Ya thought for a while, "I think what they said makes sense."
'boom! ’ The boss suddenly slapped the table hard, which startled Song Ya.
Fortunately, instead of getting angry at himself, the boss closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Everyone quietly waited for the verdict later.
"never mind!"
Three minutes later, the boss opened his eyes, got up, put on his hat, and went out, "FXXX! Do whatever you want, I don't care, I can't understand what you are talking about! You can play,
I do not care! "
"Hey! There's your money in here!" Pablo yelled at his back.
"My mother never planned to make money by selling records!" The boss didn't even look back.
With a gust of wind, the people outside followed him and evacuated completely.
"so……"
Old Qiao was happy, and sat back behind the boss's desk, "Everything is business as usual?" He looked at Pablo proudly, and if the big boss didn't intervene, he still has the final say on this company.
Pablo was silent for a while, "For the time being, it will be business as usual, but I will not give up." He left behind a sentence and led little Lowry to leave in a hurry.
In the third week, everything went on as usual. They went to Miami and Atlanta in the southeast corner of the United States to run publicity, while Song Ya continued her career as a schoolmaster.
However, nothing is set in stone.
Compared with a month ago, the song of the second-hand store has brought about drastic changes in the relationship between all stakeholders. Al is out, Old Joe and Pablo are almost broken, Pablo and Al, and old Morgan, Little Lowry and Al, old Morgan and even Song Ya herself, the old friendship is beyond recognition, and the rest is only business.
Trouble at school came as the music video from the last shoot began to air on local Chicago TV stations and some of the big video stores.
Connie became famous in school for her provocative dancing in the MV. Connie is Song Ya's older sister, and Song Ya's nickname is APLUS. On the lyrics page attached to Little Lowry's album card, under the song title of the second-hand store is written Clearly, words: Lowry II and APLUS, music: APLUS.
There are few people studying seriously in this school, and these gossips are more exciting than the other. Everyone quickly sorted out the logic chain, and then Song Ya can only bid farewell to the "Little Transparent" character from now on.
"Hi, APLUS..." Girls began to greet him and wink at him...
'Boom'!
While walking halfway, someone suddenly bumped me from behind. I subconsciously thought it was some boy who likes to bully, but when I looked back, it turned out to be the goddess of the football cheerleading team. After attracting his attention, the other party began to scratch his head and pose. Almost broke, "APLUS, is it?" The goddess bit her plump lips lightly, "What do you think of my voice condition?"
"Uh... not bad." Song Yaxin said that you were holding your throat and speaking, who knows the condition of your voice!
"Oh hehehe..." The goddess smiled triumphantly, "Then when will you take me to the record company to audition? I... can."
"Audit? I don't have that ability, goodbye!" Song Ya couldn't stand it anymore, and fled in despair.
'Boom'!
He was bumped again, this time by a boy, the main defensive lineman of the rugby team, almost the strongest person in the school, "Stop harassing my goddess, stay away from her! Weak chicken who plays music!" He His eyes were as big as copper bells, and he uttered threats viciously.
"She's the one who harassed me! Brother..." Song Ya rubbed her aching shoulder, wanting to cry.
"How dare you slander my goddess!"
The other party was furious, and raised his fist as big as a sand bowl, "Forget it, forget it, he is Tony's younger brother." The teammate next to him stopped him.
"For Tony's sake this time, let me catch you trying to hit my goddess next time. You're the best!"
Relying on Tony's old friendship to avoid a beating, Song Ya slipped into the classroom.
A group of girls in the class got together and giggled.
"?"
Song Ya returned to her seat, and there was a cassette box on the desk. When she opened it, there was a note in it, which said 'I MISS YOU', signed by the name of an ugly girl in the class, under the note... ok , hid a condom.
"Class!" The class bell rang and the teacher came in.
Song Ya hurriedly put the things into the book.
"Ye!" Accompanied by an excited celebration, the ugly girl climbed onto the desk and jumped, "He accepted it! He accepted it!"
"I rely on you, don't get me wrong, big sister!" Song Ya was so frightened that she raised her hand and threw the box back.
Ka... The box hit the ugly girl, bounced to the ground, split open, and a condom rolled out...
"Turn the book to forty pages. The content of this lesson is very important, and that is the Civil War..." The teacher in the class seemed to have seen nothing, and began to lecture.
The ugly girl let out a shocking and shrill cry, 'Boom boom boom...' Dragging her tank-like body, she ran out of the classroom crying.
The other girls roared with laughter and the boys started banging on the table and booing.
"When you talk about the Civil War, you must mention slavery..."
"This school is terrible!" Song Ya lamented in her heart.
"Hey! Hayden!" After class, he ran to the payphone, "What is my expected income? OK...do you know anything about transferring schools? Don't care about public or private...what? Okay, let's meet and say .”
After school, he hurried to the school gate and dived into Hayden's Dodger Dynasty.
"Hello, APLUS, right?" Unexpectedly, there was a white man sitting in the back seat of the car.
"Hello, you are..." Song Ya was a little surprised, and shook hands with the other party.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm Daniel Glass, vice president of EMI's SBK Records."
