Chapter 76 Airborne

After receiving the news that the Billboard singles list might be in the top 50 in the first week, Song Ya temporarily changed the itinerary. On the evening of the 27th, he took people and Old Joe to fly directly to Los Angeles. Detroit asked Big A and Tony to help run, Xiao Luo Rui had an affair with the daughter of a famous music circle in Detroit, and Tony followed behind, which is considered a bit of a connection now.

Everything is for the No. 29 ranking.

"Old Joe, you've lost weight..."

"Ah? Is that so? I've been too tired recently." After boarding the plane, Old Qiao sat in a daze on his seat, listless.

Song Ya thought of the figures of the four aunts, and felt sorry for the old Qiao in front of him for a second.

Old Qiao was very preoccupied, but he didn't take the initiative to say anything. After getting on the plane, he quickly squinted and fell asleep in Los Angeles.

As soon as she checked into the hotel in Compton, Los Angeles, Song Ya hung up on Halle Berry.

After the MV aired, Harley called to thank her. According to her, the number of invitations increased dramatically, and she was struggling with her manager. Of course, she didn't forget to tell Song Ya that she would "entertain" him well when she came to Los Angeles.

"Thank you APLUS!"

Halle on the other end of the phone was very excited, "I accepted Spike Lee's invitation to star in the movie 'Jungle Fever' that he wrote, directed and acted in! I'm ready to join the team, yes! It's a supporting role. Oh my god, it's just this short In just two days, I feel like the whole world has changed, thank you for giving me the opportunity, where is the hotel? I will go there right away."

Spike Lee is one of the rare black directors in Hollywood, and he is on the rise. Last year, he was nominated for an Oscar for an original screenplay and a Cannes Palme d'Or nomination.

Song Ya congratulated a few words, half an hour later, Harley called again, this time she became a little hesitant, "My manager wants to meet you, is it convenient?"

"CAA?"

"yes."

It seems that CAA is aware that his agency contract is coming soon, and it is a good thing for him to have someone competing with William Morris, but he has not had time to think carefully about the pros and cons, and he knows that Halle's agent is a small role, "maybe not Convenient, my agent lives next door, and we have a busy schedule in Los Angeles."

"Okay, I'll go alone." Harry hung up the phone.

After a while, someone knocked on the door of the guest room.

He went to open it, and Old Joe came in in his pajamas.

"I thought and thought, you still don't want to see 'Big E' tomorrow, just let me greet him for the promotion of the single." Old Qiao sat on the sofa in the room with a very serious expression.

"why?"

Song Ya was a little confused, so didn't she come in vain? This old Joe, did he regret it, and didn't want to have a relationship with N.W.A?

"It's like this, 79 years..." Old Joe said a piece of history.

In 1979, Williams, the founder of the Cripple Gang to which N.W.A belonged, entered a motel in Los Angeles to rob, shot and killed the Chinese-American hotel owner couple and wounded their daughter.

Because of this case and several other bloody cases, Williams was arrested in 1981 and sentenced to death.

"Although the Cripple Gang is actually split, and Williams has already had a prototype of the Cripple Gang before, in general, they all recognize Williams as the founder. So..."

Old Qiao said slowly: "Although it happened ten years ago, as far as I know, the Chinese group in Los Angeles is still seeking to have Williams executed as soon as possible. Because of your blood, you must Be extra careful, maybe most of the young people on both sides don't know about this past, but as long as this topic is related to you, I was thinking about it in the room just now, and you are completely unable to deal with it perfectly. Neutrality will be rejected by both sides Looking down on you, being biased towards Chinese is morally correct, but it will lose the black market and attract hatred from the lame gang. If you favor blacks, Chinese will look down on you, let alone please black people.”

"Is that so?"

Song Ya sat on the head of the bed, "The Cripple Gang is the largest black gang in Mimi, right?" he murmured.

"That doesn't matter, it's just that there are too many people. The Cripple Gang has already been split into pieces, and they killed each other even more fiercely." Old Qiao said.

"Thank you, Old Qiao." Song Ya's thanks came from the heart.

"So you remember, in the future, cooperation with members of the Lame Gang must be done through an intermediary." Old Qiao warned.

After seeing off Old Qiao, Song Ya sat blankly in the room, thinking for a long time, and he didn't get out of this heavy topic until Halle knocked on the door outside.

"Aren't you busy?" At ten o'clock in the morning, Harry put on his clothes and was about to leave.

"I just don't want to see your agent."

Song Ya dismissed her perfunctorily and called Song Asheng, "Do you know about the motel murders in Los Angeles in 1979?"

"Yes, I want to donate a sum of money to Chinese groups that urge the execution of the death penalty as soon as possible, in your name..."

Although he didn't leave any memories of his previous life, Song Ya still knew that he was from Huaguo anyway, so after thinking about it, there was nothing to worry about which side to stand on.

I don’t know how Lao Qiao communicated. The big ‘E’ was pretty sloppy. On the 28th, when Song Ya left Los Angeles, there were already many DJs here who started pushing I feel it coming, but the momentum was higher than that of New York and Places like Chicago are much smaller.

Song Ya didn't intend to give money to 'Big E' to work harder. That guy and the team's Cooper's money were blackmailed, and his reputation in this regard was really bad.

Let Old Joe go back to Chicago on his own, and he changed his itinerary again, going to another big city on the west coast, San Francisco, a city with a large number of Chinese.

This time he took the initiative to let Columbia Records contact a Chinese radio station, and the whole interview was in Chinese, and he also showed a few bad Cantonese sentences during the interview.

"You also have investments in Silicon Valley?"

The average economic strength of Chinese Americans is much higher than that of blacks, and so is their enthusiasm for investment. After the interview, he and the people on the radio naturally chatted about Silicon Valley, which is very close to San Francisco.

Song Ya reported several stocks she bought.

"Wang An Computer..." Several radio staff laughed.

"What's wrong?"

The other party smiled but did not answer.

Song Ya knew that this was not optimistic, but the other party did not make it clear because of the cautious character of more Chinese than less, and hurriedly directed Song Asheng to contact the stock broker to clear all the shares of Wang An Computer.

"It's a loss to sell now, it's better to cover the position..." Song Asheng suggested.

"I love your mother!"

Forcing Song Asheng to sell his stocks, he hastily ended his trip to the west coast and headed to the south of the United States.

On the 29th, on the Billboard Singles Chart, I Feel It Coming dropped to No. 15 with less than 100,000 sales, right after Mariah Carey's Love Takes Time.

Billboard Magazine also included a bio and a short review.

Alexander Song, whose stage name is APLUS, is of Chinese and African descent. He rose rapidly in Chicago in 1990 and is known for his brilliant talent and varied music styles.

The second-hand store of rap songs, which he composed and co-wrote the lyrics with Lowry II, currently has triple platinum sales. Then he wrote the equal rights song "To De Klerk", which was sung by Milla Jovovich. This single created double platinum sales in North America, and the overseas sales momentum is also very gratifying.

At the end of the year, after signing with Columbia Records, his debut single I feel it coming, which included lyrics, music and singing, dropped to No. 15 in the first week of release. This single is an innovative style combining retro vocals and electronic music. It is well received by music critics and radio DJs. Currently, the on-demand rate of all major radio stations in the whole meter is high, and it has great stamina.
