Chapter 72 Partying
Old Qiao seems to be busy making albums for the four aunts, and he hasn't shown up for a long time, but he promised to accompany Song Ya to Los Angeles when Song Ya finishes the promotion around Chicago, and establish contact with N.W.A's "Big E".
Speaking of Lao Qiao, Song Ya also thought of a funny thing. Little Lowry's album was repackaged and released by SBK on December 1st. In the first two weeks, the unknowing Quanmi people contributed about half a million sales, and then whether it was Professionals and casual listeners alike were abuzz, feeling cheated by SBK and Lowry Jr., agreeing that apart from 'Secondhand Store', the rest of the album was worthless. In order not to give the other party a chance to make money on stage, Little Lowry, who had already been at odds with Old Joe, never performed second-hand stores in publicity and commercial performances. Now it’s no longer possible. Many businesses and nightclubs say that they don’t sing second-hand stores. Don't come, so he and Pablo had no choice but to come back and beg Old Joe, and they still don't know how the two sides talked.
On the 20th, Song Ya stayed in a five-star suite at the Hilton Hotel, and all relevant personnel also arrived.
"The money for small and medium DJs..."
At the impromptu meeting, the person in charge of Columbia singles promotion said: "The company can't approve it, the cash is in and out, and there is no receipt."
"It doesn't matter, I will pay the money personally, and you can just pretend that there is no such thing."
Song Ya said: "Big A suggested that I hold a party and invite these DJs and people from the Chicago music circle to gather together. The time is too tight, and it is too late to meet one by one before the official release on the 26th."
"It's no problem. There are regular companies in Chicago that provide agency party services. We can pay the money." The other party kept remembering in his notebook, "But don't make trouble, you were rumored to be negative before your debut. That’s not okay, especially for drugs, you signed a penalty clause with us, remember?”
"I'll pay attention."
Song Ya agreed to come down, and said to Al who was standing behind: "Call Big A, and ask him to mention it when calling someone, I am a'clean' party."
"Do you need a 'shuttle bus'?"
Al picked up the phone and asked, "If the room is full of men that day, you won't be able to hold your head up in Chicago."
Song Ya recalled the scene when she saw the shuttle bus for the first time at Little Lowry's house. There must be a lot of money for appearances of more than 20 girls with such faces and figures. He looked at the person in charge of the propaganda, who shook his head and said that he would not pay the money.
"It doesn't cost money." Al smiled.
"No need to spend money? Bai..." Song Ya was shocked.
Al explained. It turns out that black starlets holding parties are different from the extravagant parties of superstars in the film and television music industry. Simply put, they have no money and no money. DJs, tuners, and musicians from all walks of life will use their own relationship trees to attract girls who want to enter the industry around them, and use the excuse of participating in celebrity parties to find opportunities to lure them to participate, plus some purely wanting The unrestrained girls who go to parties to have fun and some "flesh and skin" who want to "collect stamps", all girls will receive a note with the time and place. At that time, celebrities only need to pay a little money for renting a bus, go to the designated place, and they will be able to pick up a bus of girls who are not low in quality, completely free, and can play very well.
"Big A is an expert, and he'll take care of everything," Al said.
"What a talent!"
Song Ya sighed, "Okay, let him help." He told Hayden: "You help me fix the bus."
Hayden gave a thumbs up.
On the 22nd, Song Ya came to a single-family villa rented by the service company. The weather in Chicago is cold, and many rich people will leave here to go to the south for vacation in winter. The vacated villa is temporarily rented out to hold such activities. earn a fortune.
Although there is a swimming pool, don't even think about playing in this kind of weather. Just fill it with water and light it up to look good.
Professional companies are different, with bartending counters, waiters, wine glasses, disposable drink cups and tableware, and hot and cold food.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Song Ya took Hayden and the others into the villa. Seeing this scene, she suddenly remembered that she had laughed at Little Lowry for spending money lavishly. She didn't expect that she would follow in the footsteps now.
"Please sign after confirming all the items in the room. If it is damaged, you will be compensated at the price." The staff of the service company handed over several pages with a price list full of various furniture and decorations.
Song Ya simply walked around the villa according to the form, and felt that there was no problem, so she signed her name.
The bedding in several bedrooms has been replaced by plain cheap goods brought in by the service companies, it seems that they know the style of stars.
After a while, the 'Muffler' came over in Little Lowry's Chevrolet convertible, and there was another girl in Tony's arms in the back seat, and he punched Song Ya in the chest, "My dear brother, what So, the feeling of being a star is much better than being locked in a room to write lyrics and compose music?"
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." Song Ya smiled bitterly.
"Stop pretending, let's get to know each other." Tony introduced his new girlfriend to Song Ya, "This is APLUS, my brother." went in.
"Wait for them to finish..." Song Ya hurriedly called the people from the service company.
"Don't worry, we have brought a lot of bed sheets." The staff of the service company showed a standard professional smile, "You don't have to worry about this, we are professional."
At four o'clock, Delay and Al also arrived in the F150, and the waiters moved all kinds of alcohol purchased from the trailer into the bar.
Then guests arrived one after another. Big A’s younger brother led Song Ya to get to know them one by one. They were all low-level DJs and musicians in Chicago. The notice was too late for the party and they hadn’t released a song yet. Song Ya's reputation is not big enough, so I can't invite any big names.
Not all of them were men, many of them came here with one or even two girls in their arms.
The star dream is the same as the American dream, there is never a shortage of people who are flying moths to the flame.
Although it hasn't officially started yet, as long as there is wine, the party animals will soon be socializing and lively.
It was almost five o'clock, and a slender woman got out of the taxi. She held the address slip in her hand and checked it with the number plate at the entrance of the villa.
"Harry! Stop looking, this is it!"
Song Ya saw her and immediately called her in loudly.
"Aren't you cold?" He noticed that in addition to the leather jacket, the woman was wearing a skirt of a light evening dress with silk stockings, holding her in her arms like an ice cube.
"I'm used to wearing it like this." Harry kissed him face to face, "I'll go directly to Los Angeles from here tomorrow."
She still rejected Song Ya's suggestion to let him switch to William Morris. In Hollywood, CAA has a strong momentum and is rubbing William Morris. It is a normal choice for her to still have expectations for CAA.
"I wish you success in Hollywood. On the 26th, our MV will appear on MTV. If you ask your agent to record it, it will be the best resume." Song Ya led her into the warm villa.
She handed the leather jacket to the waiter who stepped forward, revealing the sexy and decent evening dress inside, and immediately overwhelmed the crowd, comparing all the vulgar fans brought by those musicians, "Thank you You." She thanked again, "Why did you ask me to come in such a hurry?"
"You are the hostess here today." Song Ya nodded at the tip of his nose, "Help me block the girls who will come later."
"no problem."
Harley put her arms around his arms and immediately entered the role, "So...as the hostess, where is the master bedroom?" She leaned on Song Ya.
Song Ya felt her mouth was a little dry, looked around for a while, then raised her chin to gesture to Al, and after receiving Al's wretched smile, she led her into the master bedroom on the second floor.
At six o'clock, the 'shuttle bus' slowly drove into the villa.
Big A was the first to jump out, clapping his hands and shouting, "Everybody!"
