Chapter 19 Business is business
Song Ya is also sleepless these days, and soon snores with Eric.
I don't know how long it took, but I was sleeping soundly, and I was suddenly woken up by the sound of a fierce quarrel outside, and I 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 to the studio, and was leaning against the door frame to watch the excitement, no wonder he was woken up.
Eric turned back and put his index finger to his mouth, gestured to speak, and threw over a piece of colored paper.
It turned out to be the cassette cover of Lowry Jr.'s first album, the design is not outstanding, the protagonist Lori Jr. is dressed in hip-hop style, holding a microphone in one hand, and pointing straight ahead in the other hand, and the title below is the full name of Lori Jr.', 'Lowry II'.
Song Ya thought for a while before she understood the implied meaning of this cover: 'The new album has nothing to do with Al', you must know that the promotional posters on the side of the old Joe music foyer have always been Lori and Al, Lori is the main one, but Al can't be ignored, but now ......
He listened carefully, and sure enough, it was Al who was scolding outside.
Walking up to Eric, there were many new album covers and accompanying lyric 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 the new album originally had fifteen songs, plus a total of sixteen songs from his second-hand store, but there were only thirteen song lyrics on this lyric page, which means that three songs were quietly removed by Lao Qiao, and these three songs ......
He struggled to remember for a moment, and yes, the songs that had been removed were the three that had the strongest presence for El.
Karl ran past the door, and three seconds later, Al's yelling stopped abruptly.
"Wow......" Eric followed.
Song Ya hid behind him.
In Old Joe's office, the messy furnishings were shattered, and the red-eyed Al was tightly locked by Carl's arms, and his mouth was blocked by Carl's hands, but he still refused to give up, kept twisting his body and trying to break free, and his feet were still struggling to reach in the direction of Old Joe.
Old Joe, Pablo, Little Lowry, Tony and others are all there, and there are still a few clear footprints on Old Joe's fan suit, and Little Lowry, who was protected by Tony, was expressionless and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Calm down! Al! Pablo kept advising him, "This is our deliberate decision, good for everyone!" You also want the new college to sell big, right? As long as the new results are obtained, it is actually a good thing for you, but it is only three songs, and there are still you in the other songs......"
After a few minutes, Xu had a deeper understanding of Karl's force value, and Al finally gave up the struggle and gradually stopped.
"Let him go." Pablo waved his hand.
Karl let go of his hand.
βBullSHXTοΌβ Al did calm down, tidying up his messy clothes, "If I hadn't happened to see the samples sent by the factory, you would have hidden from me to release the new album, don't talk about good things, it's all liars!" I'm blind. β
"Hey! It's not a question of whether to cheat or not, business is business. Pablo said.
"Yay, yes......"
Pushing Karl away, Al walked out, "I can see through it, you rich and powerful NGers, you are tired of logging in front of us on weekdays, and when the matter comes, you will know that the white man's business is business, and business is business......"
"Hey!" Pablo tried to stop him, "Where are you going?" Soon the promotion of the new album will begin! β
"Propaganda without me, don't dream!"
Pablo's temper also came up, "Don't play tricks, you idiot!" I'm your agent, you have to follow the arrangement! β
"You're fired."
Al didn't look back, leaving everyone looking at each other.
"This idiot!" Pablo scolded.
Old Joe took off his pink suit and sat back at the boss's desk, "You have to get him done, you can't let him go out and talk nonsense at this time." β
"How can I do it! It's all a good thing that you have a bad idea! Pablo unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and circled around the spot a few times, "You! He snapped his fingers at Tony, "Go and persuade him to come back, if you can't do it, you have to stabilize him first!" β
"What can I do......" Tony muttered, seeing that Pablo was about to get angry again, so he had to chase him out.
"Now that the hip-hop ventriloquist is not bought by the audience, even if there are no new songs from APLUS, I am actually ready to reduce the proportion of Al in the album." Old Joe told the truth, "Lowry's target is young women, and Ayr's appearance is just a mess. β
"It's ugly and has no human rights!"
Song Ya complained in his heart when he heard this, after this episode, his life should be back on track, the new album publicity has nothing to do with him, and even Pablo and Little Lowry need to deliberately downplay his influence on the song of second-hand stores, so the credit plan is restarted!
Unfortunately, it backfired, and when he returned home, he saw Al again, and he and Tony were playing a game in their room, Super Mario.
The two guys didn't stop playing until twelve o'clock at night, and Al's mood gradually eased, talking more and more, and shouting with Tony.
Song Ya was lying on the bed and wanted to cry without tears, the red and white machine and the small TV were just bought back from the second-hand market, and now she regrets it very much.
I can't sleep either, and I feel like I'm going to be brainwashed by the dinging sound of eating gold coins in the game.
The income of 4,500 dollars, 2500 yuan to buy a car and other second-hand items, 5500 was given to Aunt Susie, and the remaining 1,500 was deposited in the bank by him in exchange for a checkbook, and there is no plan for how to spend it. He also specifically asked about paying taxes, and the income from January to April this year is calculated until the tax season of April next year (thanks to the book friends who like to breathe fire and the black dragon corrects the error), so there is no need to be too anxious.
I don't know when the next apocalypse will come, according to the agent Hayden, the record royalties cannot be expected to be settled in a short time, and it is common to delay it for a year and a half, especially after the Al incident, Song Ya has a further understanding of the discipline 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, after all, they are behind the first-class brokerage company in the United States, and William Morris is not a vegetarian, this is the benefit of signing a large company.
At two o'clock, the brothers in front of the TV have no intention of stopping.
"Hey, Al."
Song Ya decided that he couldn't let them go anymore, otherwise he would be worried about his great career as a scholar, "What are your plans next?" He asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Al put down the handle, "Continue to work in the restaurant, continue to mix, I don't have a gang background, and I can't do anything with them, so I just have a star dream." β
"WTF, is it so Buddha-like?" Song Ya said secretly in her heart. However, as long as Al doesn't make trouble and doesn't go out to talk nonsense to the media, it is actually in his own interests, after all, he is really afraid of this kind of negative news during the album promotion period, and the number of songs on Lori Jr.'s album has decreased, and the proportion of royalties he can get has also increased.
"You're a good brother, it's okay, I'll go back and tell little Lowry, we're all family." Tony nervous, "You go back and apologize to Pablo for saying that you were angry during the day......"
"Don't you understand?" Albi Tony understands human nature, "I made a fuss like that during the day, and little Lori didn't say a word, don't you know what his attitude is?" The album went from the two of us to his own, he was the biggest beneficiary, business was business, and Pablo obviously gave me up. β
"Uh......" Tony didn't know what to say, "it's okay, bro, you have a good rest for two days first, think about it." He said to Song Ya again: "Al doesn't want to live with little Lowry anymore, just sleep in my bed for the next few days, and I'll go to live with little Lowry." β
βWhatοΌοΌβ
Song Ya black question mark, look at Al who picked up the handle and continued to 'fight', helplessly covered his head with the quilt.
