Chapter 40 The Struggle

Seeing Song Ya eating watermelon, Di Lai couldn't help laughing, and he quickly covered his mouth.

"You white man!"

Eric grabbed him by the collar again, "You were the one who made the mistake just now, didn't you!?"

"Hey! Hey!" DeLay quickly explained, "I was afraid you would cause trouble! As long as you met Robert just now, he would immediately call the police and lawyers, and you and APLUS will suffer the most! Believe me, Robert He's an old hand, he's used it against us a lot before, you know, white rock n' roll guys have bad tempers."

"Calm down! Eric." Song Ya also persuaded.

"You shouldn't have eaten that piece of watermelon just now..." Eric sat back angrily.

"Uh..." Song Ya threw the melon rind into the fruit plate in embarrassment, and wiped his hands, "I'll make a phone call first."

He called Michelle first, "Uh...Dr. Michelle, I want to ask, what should I do if I was given a watermelon by a white man?"

Michelle agreed to help without hesitation. After the two chatted, Song Ya put down the phone and thought about it, then called Old Qiao again.

"Yo! My dear APLUS, I love you to death, I love you love you..."

Old Joe was very excited, and he opened his mouth with a bunch of nasty words, "Hey! Where are we ranked now?" He asked the person on the other end, "Haha! Billboard's weekly singles chart is eleventh! The specific sales figures have not yet been released. I heard that SBK ordered a million copies! How come there must be hundreds of thousands of sales in the first week? Did you hear? Saturday Night Live invited me and Little Lowry, and it was Saturday Night on site……"

Song Ya patiently listened to Lao Qiao's bragging rap before telling him about her situation.

"No problem, I'll call my friends in New York, just wait!" Old Joe agreed.

After waiting for ten minutes, Lao Qiao called back, this time his tone became much more serious, "APLUS, did you eliminate all black girls in a sound audition?"

"Uh..." Song Ya secretly yelled badly, "They don't meet my style..."

"Hey! You shouldn't do that, even if it's a show APLUS, even if it's a show for others! I lived through the apartheid era, and the white people at that time knew how to put a few black Indians in the government for show. Now friends in New York have a lot of opinions on you, they think you are not their own, you must know that you are of mixed race, and your skin color is fair, so you should pay more attention..."

"I'm stupid."

Song Ya could only admit his mistake, "I didn't think so much at the time..."

"I don't have much energy in New York, and you know the last time we ran into walls in New York... If we were on the South Side of Chicago, we could kill that white guy. You can use the recording studio of Old Joe Music, anyway, we have always been there Running publicity outside..." Old Qiao was powerless.

Song Ya thanked, Lisa knocked on the door and came in, "Daniel let you go."

When I came to Daniel's office, Robert was there, sitting on the sofa and smoking a cigarette.

"Don't make extra troubles these days, don't make troubles, what did I say!"

Daniel was so angry that he kept pacing in the office, "There are only three of us in this room now, Robert, please apologize! Apologies to APLUS."

"I didn't do anything." Robert pretended to be innocent.

"Don't! Come with me! Talk to me like that!" Daniel yelled at Robert, and he picked up the phone. "Send Delay to come up, he saw everything?"

"Ok, ok, ok, I was impulsive, but the little follower of APLUS also called me a white man." Robert was a little flustered.

Daniel was going crazy, "That's not the same thing! Robert, don't play tricks on me, we both know in our hearts that it's not the same thing at all!"

"Uh... Actually, there is no need to apologize, and I may not accept the apology." Song Ya said calmly: "I have already called the Chicago Equality Organization,

They'll be contacting organizations in New York to inquire about this, and the protest fax should arrive shortly. "

"Wow wow wow wow, the black trick is here! It's not enough to take advantage!" Robert clapped his hands at Song Ya angrily.

"my God!"

Daniel held his head in his hands in pain, and thought for a while, "Robert, you apologize first, then pack up your things, go... go to Manila...there is a shortage of manpower over there."

Robert was impatient, "Hey! I will be bitten to death by mosquitoes!"

"Apologize." Daniel looked at him coldly.

Robert buried his head in his hands for a while, "Well, APLUS, I feel sorry for what happened just now..."

"Apologize!"

"..., I'm sorry APLUS, I sincerely apologize to you..."

"Go and pack your things!"

Watching Robert hang his head and go out the door, Daniel stepped forward and patted Song Ya on the shoulder, "That's it... Are you satisfied?" He said, "Don't make extra troubles, we have agreed before."

Song Ya nodded, he remembered what Old Joe said just now, "I want to change the rehearsal to Chicago, where I am alone and alone, you know, Lisa often brings people into the recording studio without my consent , and took me to meet people I shouldn’t have met, as well as Isco before, Robert now, and those pervasive agents in New York.”

He and Daniel seriously communicated about this matter, and Daniel also agreed, saying that SBK will bear all the expenses, as well as the rent of Old Joe's music, "This money can't be saved, otherwise there will be legal disputes in the future..."

Saying goodbye to Daniel, Song Ya returned to the recording studio, "How is it?" Eric asked.

"Robert apologized, go to Manila." Song Ya replied.

"Yeah!" Eric was delighted. "How's the result? Isn't it a good result?" he asked DeLay.

"That's pretty good." Delay smiled wryly, "If it were us white people, we wouldn't even think about it."

The phone in the recording studio rang again, and Song Ya picked it up casually, and Mira's cry came from inside, "That person is still in the hotel lobby, that person hasn't left yet..." She was incoherent, "That manager, in his hand have pictures."

"Calm down, Mira, calm down, and explain what's going on!" Song Ya tried to persuade her, "Eric, call a taxi."

He hurried to the hotel with Eric and Delay, and saw the old white man who had previously blackmailed with photos in the lobby.

"You son of a bitch!" he cursed through gritted teeth, really angry this time.

"Hey! Don't be impulsive..." The old man pointed to the hotel security guard who was looking over, "Let's go over there and have a chat, it won't take you much time."

Song Ya left Eric and Dilai at the door, and followed him to the corner of the lobby.

"I did my homework this time, and I saw you again, haha, BOY..." The old man smiled meanly, "My girl should still have a chance."

"Mira is Daniel's chosen candidate, aren't you afraid of offending him?" Song Ya tried her best to keep calm.

"Of course, Daniel will not change candidates, but what if Mira withdraws voluntarily?"

The old man took out the photo again, "Mila is the heroine of a film that Columbia Pictures invested millions of dollars in the second half of the year. I think Columbia will be very concerned about their new star getting a black boyfriend, right? Do you want a record or a movie? Upstairs Mrs. Jovovich is very difficult to choose... That movie called Return to the Blue Coral Lagoon is a big opportunity. The object of its remake, the heroine is Brooke Shields! Milla has a chance to match Brooke Shields in front of her eyes Who do you think her mother will give up? By the way, I forgot to mention, they may be crying upstairs now."

Song Ya smiled instead, "You admire your perseverance, but I'm also very surprised by your stupidity. You think I won't investigate this before I find a girlfriend? What's there to cherish in a cool movie on the beach? If you put If I were you instead, would you like to watch your girlfriend make that kind of movie? Besides, Brooke Shields was exposed in Biography of Yanwa at the age of thirteen. Wouldn’t it be good for me to learn from her? The photo is ready to be released, I wish Mira’s movie would be pornographic! Even if Mira quits, it’s not your girl’s share! Besides, Michael Jackson was Brooke Shields’ boyfriend? Isn’t he black? Which movie Did the company embarrass Brooke Shields because of this?"

The old man was taken aback by the words, "That's Michael Jackson." He sneered at Song Ya, "You are APLUS."

"FXXXYOU! My 15-year-old second-hand store hit No. 11 on Billboard's weekly singles chart in the first week!"

One sentence made the old man wilt. He buried his head exactly like Robert, and after a few minutes of consideration, he raised his head and said, "One hundred thousand dollars, buy my negatives."

Song Ya took out the check book, tore off one after signing a few pens, and threw it in the other party's face, "I'll give you five thousand yuan to buy a coffin! Eric! Delay!"

He called the two of them over, "Look at him and bring back all the negatives!"
