Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Robbery
Running down the second week in the south, Song Ya and the client quickly found their position, and his I feel it coming is suitable for the kind of bar that focuses on slow rocking, where men and women stick close together, swinging slightly to this suggestive little love song, getting into the mood, and then ......
Then Song Ya and the store can't control it, anyway, the wine can sell a lot more, a win-win situation.
Song Ya went backstage to get the cash after singing, and left, sometimes he could catch three shows a night, and the remuneration for a single game ranged from 2,000 to 5,000 dollars, he knew why Xiao Luori could buy a car and a house when he came back in two months, and the singer's money was so easy to make.
Occasionally, it is not the merchant who repays the account, but the middleman who matches the transaction, because the cash transaction is all based on oral agreement, some local brokers who only do your hammer business will turn their faces and deny the account afterwards, for example, they get 5,000 knives from the merchant, and then they will only take 2,000 or even 1,000 knives out to send Song Ya.
They are very knowledgeable, and there are some forces in the local area, knowing that your singer is in a hurry, the money is easy to make, and you don't want to take risks, you will definitely not waste time and cost on a local thorn, so you can only admit that you are unlucky and leave. They are also very good at picking targets, Song Ya, a combination of a mixed race with a black follower and an honest white man, do not bully white or bully, if they are replaced by a powerful and impulsive rock band, or a black singer like Little Lowry who has a Mexican descent agent, they will weigh it well.
“FXXX! If I had a gun......"
Coming out of a nightclub in Miami, Al was so angry that he shouted, "Definitely shot that NGer!" ”
The three thousand five that were talked about became one thousand, and Song Ya was not happy in his heart, but he had no intention of entanglement, and looked at the watch, "I said earlier not to mention the gun, we don't bring guns!" He split the money in his hand in two, and threw it to Al and DeLay, "That's it, we have to catch a flight back to Chicago." ”
There are still two events waiting for him in Chicago, one is the New Year's party of the affirmative action group invited by Michelle, and he promised to dedicate a song, and the other is Congressman Underwood's appreciation buffet, the guy has been elected to the federal council, since he calls himself to go, he probably can't escape singing it again.
In addition to the 50,000 dollars he earned, Columbia Records also got him the opportunity to perform at the New Year's Eve party in Atlanta, which was sponsored by the local wealthy Coca-Cola Company, and he was paid 200,000 dollars for singing for four minutes, and the account was split with the performing arts company under Columbia Records.
In the future, when he becomes famous, his worth will have to rise, and Song Ya still has an apocalyptic song 'Remember The Name' in his hand that he hasn't taken out, so he doesn't panic at all.
The three of them tiredly dragged their instrument cases to the side of the road to hail a taxi, when a small van across the street suddenly started, then turned around and flicked its tail beautifully, and the car stopped in front of the three with the screeching sound of tires during the sudden braking.
"Hey! NGer! I just saw the money in your hands, take it out, take it out! ”
The door opened, and two Hispanics in the frame and passenger seat were holding pistols, the muzzles of the black holes pointed straight at the three men.
"Quick! Fast! They nervously looked around, and the streets of Miami were still bustling with traffic in the early hours of the morning, "I'll count to three, and I'll shoot if I don't give it!" One! ”
“FXXX!” Al scolded, "You Mexicans! ”
"Fuck you Mexicans, we're Cubans!"
"Hey! Don't give them any! Give me the money! Fast! Two! The guy in the driver's seat pulled the bolt.
"Give it to them." What else can Song Ya say, continue to admit bad luck.
After all, Al didn't dare to resist under the guns of the Cubans, and he threw the rice knife that had just arrived in his hand.
"White guy yours! Don't play tricks! After the other party got Dille's money, he pointed his gun at Song Ya again, "You! On the neck! ”
“FXXX!” Song Ya had no choice but to untie the big thick gold chain sent by Lao Qiao, he usually didn't wear this thing at all, he only used it when he wanted to pretend to be forced, he had just finished performing in the nightclub and hadn't had time to take it off, and it seemed that he was going to leave him today.
“FXXXYOU! Fast! The other party got the gold chain that Song Ya threw over, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car suddenly turned off.
That's ...... It's a little embarrassing, the guy in the driver's seat frantically turns the key to light the ignition, and the broken car keeps roaring.
“FXXX! Why don't you Cuban scum get out of America! Al scolded.
"We're here, this is a stupid X invited by the government of the United States!" The guy in the passenger seat had nothing to do anyway, hanging his elbow in the window, his gun hanging out of the car, "You captured NGers should get back to Africa." ”
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
“……”
After two or three minutes of fighting, the car finally started and drove away, "Don't let me catch it in the future!" Al yelled at the smoky butt of the car.
The Cuban stuck his head out of the window and gave him a middle finger.
"Really, if I brought a gun." Al scolded and turned around, and saw that Song Ya and Delai were already sitting on the side of the road using the instrument case as a stool, "What are you doing?" ”
"You're not afraid of them shooting." Delay stood up and continued to wave a taxi on the side of the street.
As a white man, he stepped forward, and the probability of the taxi stopping was twice as high as Al's.
"They don't dare." Al stepped forward to pick up the box.
The three of them didn't bother to call the police, not to mention that they couldn't count on solving the case at all, and it wasn't embarrassing enough to spread it.
Arrive at the airport to meet up with Hayden and Columbia Records, and hurry back to Chicago.
"Hmm......"
Finally lying on the soft sofa at home, taking the coffee poured by Emily, Song Ya took a sip comfortably.
In 1990, the words passed in the rush......
Picking up the Rolling Stone magazine left for him on the table, flipping through the part related to him, Philadelphia's well-known DJ and music critic Philby, the one who almost fought with Old Joe before, wrote a signed short review in the magazine.
To be honest, I scoffed when I first heard I feel it coming, and although the electronic music was used in a new way, APLUS sang it so much that I was surprised that the song was 15th in the first week and 11th in the following week on the Billboard charts. But on second thought, maybe the market has been waiting for MJ's new song for too long, and his last album "BAD" was released in '87, so listening to I feel it coming now is also a way to quench your thirst before MJ's new album is released. ’
"This guy can't speak if he's not weird, right?"
Song Ya picked up another North American Billboard chart, and in 1990, the Billboard singles chart number one (non-sales), 'hold on', from SBK's Wilson sisters and Phillips. No. 1 on the Billboard album sales chart, 'Rhythm Nation 1814', from Jenny Jackson.
The second-hand store was ranked 72nd on the singles chart, overshadowed by a large number of singles that did not sell as well as it.
Instead, he was stuck in the top 50 and ranked 50th.
