Chapter Eighty-Eight: Guilt
As he told DeLay, A+ Records' number one priority at the moment is to make Remember The Name, and in early February, DeLay got the new synthesized sound and produced a well-finished backing version.
Over the weekend, A+ Records also welcomed a distinguished guest, Jordan and many NBA players' agents, David Falke.
It was he who took the initiative to contact Hayden, and when Goodman was talking about the contract, Donovan was angry, and when he returned to Los Angeles, he gave a small warning to the top player's agent, telling him not to stretch his hand so long.
David Falck, who looked confused, offended William Morris somehow, and after several inquiries about the relationship, he found out the initiator.
"Hahaha......"
After explaining the misunderstanding, the little Jew was very unconcerned, "If my reputation can make Donovan take the initiative to reduce the price, it will be worth it for so many years in this industry." ”
"We look up to you, and we look up to Jordan, he's the pride of Chicago." Song Ya complimented.
"It's true that the Bulls have a good chance this year."
Speaking of Jordan, David Falck was very proud, "In fact, his annual salary is not worth your annual income." ”
Jordan's annual salary this season is 2.5 million, which is indeed not as high as Song Ya's annual income, if you count the royalties that SBK is about to settle.
"But his business value is much higher than mine."
Jordan signed with Nike, and this year it was rumored that he was negotiating with Coca-Cola and Gatorade, and the advertising revenue completely crushed Song Ya, and now except for some small brands that are not on the table, no big company asks Hayden for a price at all.
"You're still young."
David Falke patted Songya on the shoulder.
Song Ya then sang Remember The Name with Al and DeLay for him with lyrics in a Jordan-paying version of it.
“emmmmm……”
David Falke wouldn't be so giggling when it came to business, he put his hand on his chin and muttered for a while, "Can you remove those FXXK lines from the lyrics?" ”
"It's been minimized David, you know, my rap lyrics have always been clean, Remember The Name is also a positive motivational song, and those few FXXK lines are just tone words."
Song Ya is not going to cut out the swear words in this song, without those few words of FXXK, this song will have a lot less flavor. And the rap lyrics are too clean to be scolded by black DJs, and it can't please young whites, middle-aged and elderly whites don't listen to rap music at all, and it's useless to please them.
"And He's a prick, He's a cock?" David Falke is not a man to be fooled.
"That's just self-irony......"
David Falck shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, Jordan's image is everything to me." ”
"Okay."
Not an unexpected result, Song Ya stretched out his hand, "I understand you David." ”
"There will be a chance to work together again in the future."
"Yes."
Saying goodbye to each other in a friendly atmosphere, Song Ya returned to the studio and shrugged at Dillay and Al, "It's okay, don't be half-hearted, just record our own version." ”
"Yay." DeLay and Al high-fived each other, just as they wanted.
At half past seven in the evening, Big A came over.
"Damn, I forgot that today was Lori's farewell party." Song Ya returned to the recording studio and scolded.
Lowry Jr. sold his lakeside villa in Chicago and today chartered a frequent strip bar to say goodbye to his Chicago friends.
Al naturally didn't go, Song Ya and Delai put on their coats and went out, drove one after the other with Big A, and rushed over there.
"What kind of bullshit saying goodbye is nothing more than finding a reason to party all night, and I'll block some wine for me."
Parking the car in the parking lot outside the bar, Song Yazhen didn't want to go in, and the first time she got drunk after crossing was in this dance bar.
"Don't expect me, as a white man, I'll sleep when I'm drunk, and I'll save a lot of trouble."
DeLay has a strategy in place.
The two got out of the car with a wry smile, converged with Big A and walked to the door, only to find that there was a large group of people outside, and the flashing lights of the police lights.
"Hey, hey, get out of the way, get out of the way, Big A is here! And AAAAAAPLUS! ”
Big A led the younger brother to push through the crowd very socially, "What's the ...... here today" He saw Tony being escorted out of the door by two black police officers.
“WTH! Tony ......" he was alert not to call out Tony's full name, "what's going on!?" He asked at Tony in a loud voice.
"Where's my brother?" Tony shouted.
"I'm here!" When Song Ya, who was a little behind, saw Tony, he had already been taken to the police car by the police officers.
"I'm fine, Pablo has hired a lawyer, don't worry about me!"
The two police officers tried to push him into the car, but he yelled at Song Ya with his head exposed.
Song Ya looked at him coldly.
"Don't blame me, I wasn't the first to do it." After he said this, he was finally pushed into the car by the police, the siren sounded, and he whined all the way away.
"Who knows what's going on?" Big A asked the crowd of onlookers.
"It looks like little Lowry got into a fight with someone." Someone replied.
"Little Lowry, and the 'silencer,' was taken away in a car in front."
"Looks like there's something else."
"I don't know, after a while, they took Tony away again."
“APLUS! Is Tony really your brother? ”
"He doesn't look like it, he's much whiter than Tony......"
"Little Lowry's agent is still inside, go ask him."
The crowd was gossiping.
“FXXK!” Song Ya rushed into the bar.
"Hey! Hey! APLUS! Calm down! Big A pulled him from behind.
The bar was in shambles, with many strippers in their coats lining up to take notes with the female police officers.
Song Ya walked into the innermost part where Tony took him last time.
AK was chatting with a white man who looked like a bar owner, and Pablo was talking on his phone with his back to the outside.
"Pablo! What's wrong again!? Song Ya rushed over and yelled at Pablo.
AK stopped him.
"Wait a minute." Pablo covered the bottom of his phone and looked back, "It's okay, it's a skirmish, Tony might be in trouble, I'll fix it." ”
Song Ya was even more angry, "FXXK! What did I tell you last time!? Don't keep getting Tony in trouble! ”
"It's useless for you to quarrel with me now, I'm dealing with it, OK?" Pablo pointed to the phone, glanced at AK again, turned around and continued to call.
AK pushes, Big A and Dillera, the trio take Song Ya to a booth and sit down.
"I should be released on bail early tomorrow morning, and I'll let Tony tell you when the time comes." AK persuaded.
"AK, who did it first?" Song Ya stared at him.
"Little Lowry." AK glanced at the police officer who was taking the notes, and whispered, "Tony really wasn't impulsive today, he told us about your warning to him, and this time it wasn't his fault." ”
"It's not his fault, how did he get taken away? And Pablo also said that he would be in trouble. ”
"It's a bit complicated, the kid who was beaten is also his own person, it's just a simple drunken conflict, he didn't call the police, I don't know which good thing called the police......"
AK didn't answer positively, only said that let Song Ya ask Tony by himself tomorrow, "You go back first, you are also a public figure now, it is not good to be photographed by tabloid reporters here, Pablo has hired the best lawyer, and it will be fine." ”
"Take care of little Lowry." Song Ya dropped a warning, left with Big A, and when he walked to the door, he touched Big A with his arm, "Go and help me inquire about the real situation." ”
"Roger." Big A discussed with the two younger brothers, and separated and blended into the crowd of onlookers outside.
Song Ya sat back in the car and waited, and waited for his exact news half an hour later.
"First there was a fight, and then the officers came, and they found a gun under the couch where Lori Jr. was sitting, and then Tony confessed it to himself, and that's it." Big A said.
"Such a 'little' thing!?"
Song Ya felt that he was about to be, Tony recognized that the gun was his own, in Chicago, where guns are banned, yes, that's right, Chicago has banned guns since the eighties, and it is impossible to get a gun license, and Tony has to bear no small crime.
"Calm down! APLUS……”
Big A is still persuading him, "Tony is Lori Jr.'s follower, this is what he should do, he told me last time, they discussed the lottery to choose people, and took turns to take the blame for Lori Jr...... Tony drew the first one. ”
"And this!?" Song Ya really can't understand this kind of follower culture.
"Or else? They eat little Lowry's and drink little Lowry's ......"
Big A pointed at Delay, "Maybe you should also let Delay and Al draw a lot or something, be prepared." ”
“BULLSHXT! I don't play that! Song Ya scolded.
