America's Top Player

Chapter 30 Internet Celebrity Assistant

Facing this seemingly dissolute young man, Beyoncé was stunned at first, then showed a surprised expression as if she had thought of something.

"Are you the street-smoking coconut biscuit in Brownsville?"

"I bought your record, and I listened to the song 'Take Me to Church' over and over again."

"Both your singing and the MV shooting are very good!"

Li Ang felt a little caught off guard by receiving such high praise from the queen, knowing that this woman is Beyoncé, the true goddess.

Whether it is "Listen", "Single Ladies" or "Halo", any of her works is a Grammy history-level work.

As for that explicit MV, let’s not even mention it. If it was any more excessive, it would have directly reached R18.

There is no lofty artistic pursuit at all. It's just T-ray's bad taste in putting his love for buttocks into the MV. How can he get the praise of the queen for this?
But when you think about the fact that Beyoncé has a perfect butt that is praised by the whole American people and she is not shy about showing it to the audience, it is not surprising to Li Ang.

"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Beyoncé. As you can see, I am currently discussing a contract with Mr. JAY-Z."

While speaking, Li Ang glanced at JAY-Z intentionally or unintentionally, as if to imply that he has the support of the queen.

"That's fantastic! Roc is lucky to have signed you. Welcome to the Kingdom!"

The two of them were chatting happily, almost ignoring the presence of their boss JAY-Z. Phil watched as the other's face gradually turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat due to nervousness.

After the conversation, Beyoncé left a very good impression on Li Ang. Although this woman is the top queen of the music scene today, and even the top 1 in the eyes of many people.

But she gives people a very friendly feeling, not at all as aggressive as her appearance.

Beyoncé in real life is just like Beyoncé on stage, showing vitality and affinity.

"Ahem. Honey, Leon and I still have some things to discuss." Looking at the overly enthusiastic Beyoncé, JAY-Z finally couldn't help coughing twice.

"Really? Then I won't bother you anymore." Beyoncé pulled the chain from the jaguar's collar, leaving only a swaying figure behind. "Dear, please take good care of this pretty boy. I have a feeling he'll do great things in the future."

"Don't worry, I will, Honey."

After Beyoncé left, Li Ang was still immersed in the scene of chatting and laughing with the queen.

Something that could only appear in dreams more than a month ago happened miraculously.

dong dong——

Jay-Z knocked on the table to attract Li Ang's attention and said in a deep voice, "Since my wife thinks so highly of you, I can make some minor changes to the contract."

"I have a flight to Chicago in three hours, so you better make a decision quickly."

Li Ang nodded in agreement.

With JAY-Z's wealth, there's really no need for him to argue with Leon over such a small profit. Now this guy is just a nobody whose record sales are less than six figures.

The new contract mainly adds one point, that is, as long as Li Ang's first album sales exceed 50,000 copies in the first week of its release, he can get 30% of the sales share.

This sounds difficult, and it is not easy at all.

Every year, tens of thousands of new people emerge in the music scene, but only a few can ultimately achieve this result.

But as long as you do it, it means you have reached the level of a second-tier star.

After JAY-Z left, Leon, led by his assistant, visited the recording studio, dressing room and dance studio of Roc Records.
Even the wealthy Roc has its own large indoor studio, which is no less equipped than Hollywood studios in terms of equipment and staffing.

This studio was purpose-built solely for filming music videos lasting no more than three to five minutes. Even Phil, who had worked at a major company like Epic Records, couldn't help but marvel at the extravagant setup: "No wonder Roc can make even established giants like Sony and Columbia nervous."

He touched the buttons on the mixing console gently, as if he were treating his lover.

There are six fully-equipped recording studios like this at the Roc Records headquarters, which can barely meet the recording needs of the large number of singers here.

In the following week, Li Ang not only performed in bars in major cities in the east to make money, but also participated in the vocal training arranged for him by the company.

The schedule seems to be no different from before signing the contract, but it is obviously much tighter.

This pressure often makes him feel overwhelmed, and he is often in a hurry and even wears the wrong performance costumes.

While performing at a gay bar in Queens, he even wore a T-shirt he bought at a street stall.

In addition to the graffiti of a person raising the middle finger, there is also a line of letters printed below the middle finger - fxxk off danm gay (get away from me, gay).

This oversight resulted in him being buried under hundreds of bras thrown from the audience.

In America, where political correctness is paramount, if something like this happens at a large music festival, it would basically be the death sentence for a singer's career.

"Perhaps I should remind you that it's time to find an assistant. There are many things you can't handle alone."

Phil was talking without any concern. His desire for money had been suppressed for too long, and he had been working hard to get performances for Li Ang during this period.

"assistant?"

"That's right. You have so many things to deal with every day that you need someone to give you a little help in life." Phil said with a wicked smile: "I know a considerate and gentle girl in Manhattan Beach. She is even more docile than a pet dog. I think she would be a good choice."

Another streetwalker?
just forget it.

Leon immediately rejected Phil's half-joking proposal. He didn't want his new house to be contaminated by some strange virus from the black area.

At the same time, he also seriously considered hiring an assistant. Although his status is not very high now, he still has a lot of announcements to attend to.

Just think of it as spending a few thousand dollars a month to hire a maid, which is quite cost-effective.

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind.

"Bonnie?"

Ever since Leon moved to Brooklyn Heights, Bonnie still couldn't bear to let go of this thigh easily.

In her heart, this was a treasure she had picked up from a park bench, just like the child she had raised who had finally succeeded and could not be given away to others.

In fact, she did benefit from Li Ang's popularity. The scene of her electric hip dance in the MV was played on the big screen by the owner of the strip club, so her tips also increased.

In addition, she is now a YouTube celebrity with more than 7000 followers, and her business of selling second-hand underwear has also made her a lot of money.

After careful consideration, Leon decided to give the job to Bonnie.

Although this girl is a bit thick-skinned and has no work experience in this area.

But the most important thing about being a personal assistant is that this person must be trustworthy enough!
Otherwise, one day, a cup of coffee might cost you your life.

Although Bonnie's lifestyle cannot be described as a "good girl" in the traditional sense, at least she has a good heart.
