Chapter One: Family. The protagonist, Song Ya, travels to his aunt's home in 1990s Chicago. Alexander Song's parents have passed away, and his aunt is a single parent with five children. Life sounds difficult.

Chapter 2, APLUS. The protagonist, originally an average student, crosses over and gets a perfect score on his math test. He's publicly praised by his teacher and given this nickname by his classmates. Being too good is also a mistake. Meanwhile, his cousin, a gang member, invites him to play street basketball.

Chapter 3: Credits. High school's credit system is very strict, not just academic credits, but also art and physical education. The protagonist has a chance to enter the advanced math class, but he loses his trumpet spot in the school orchestra. His cousin has also been cut from the football team.

Chapter 4, Little Lowry. The three protagonists are there to play basketball with Little Lowry, a rising rapper whom the protagonist's cousin wants to curry favor with. Therefore, the protagonist, who is also smaller in stature, needs to play along, and he does so well. However, when the teams rotate, Little Lowry gets into a fight.

Chapter 5: Impossible to Work. The protagonist's cousin pulled out a gun to quell the conflict. Although the opponent left, the atmosphere of the game was completely distorted. Finally, the game was over, and as they parted ways, Lowry's favor was boosted. The protagonist learned from his cousin the saying among black people, "One man's success brings prosperity to the whole family."

Chapter 6, Music Video. Little Lori is finally about to start filming his music video, and the four siblings head out together. They arrive at a dance studio repurposed from a nightclub and see their cousin's friends finally becoming Lori's bodyguards. Two of his ex-girlfriends have returned.

Chapter 7, Apocalypse. The shoot was almost over when the protagonist returned to the dance floor. But when it came time to tip, he still got $20, a small fortune. As he passed a thrift store, a classic rap song suddenly came to mind. American plagiarism skills, apocalypse.

Chapter 8, GOODMAN. The protagonist asks his aunt for around $100, shocking his family into thinking he's made it to the finals. After receiving the money, he goes to Chicago's Chinatown to consult a lawyer about copyright issues, as he's already written the song.

Chapter 9, Consultation. The content of the protagonist's consultation is all related to music copyright, including signing contracts, joining music associations, finding agents, paying taxes, etc. It is very detailed and not just a simple list.

Chapter 10: Rap. The protagonist returns to school and praises his music teacher to the skies, finally receiving his key. He records the song on a tape recorder for a long time, finally matching it to the sheet music. However, when he reveals the fact that he wrote the song to his cousin, everyone is shocked. But at least his cousin is a little convinced.

【Brief Comment】

About the Author

Qi Kexiu, a level 5 author, is the author of "The Road to Becoming the Leader of a Cultivation Sect" and "Chicago 1990", one book on cultivation and the other on entertainment.

What kind of trick is this to pull off?
summary of the story
The story mainly tells the story of the protagonist Song Ya who travels to Chicago in 1990. From a black man who can be said to be in the slums, he slowly embarks on the path of music, enters the entertainment industry, and becomes a media tycoon.

At first, his life focus was just to complete his school credits, get into college, and get out of the slums.

However, his cousin was cut from the team and had no hope of going to college, so he set his sights on a young star who was about to release an album and prepared to become the latter's henchman.

After recording a music video, the protagonist passed by a second-hand store and suddenly a classic rap song from his previous life flashed in his mind.

Being extremely cautious, he first got money from his aunt, and then found a lawyer to register his songs.

When he went to the recording studio to record, he had a flash of inspiration and persuaded the boss of the music company to personally participate in the recording of the song.

This is crucial and determines his successful entry into the industry.

The road of life will become smoother after that!
Character characteristics
The protagonist is not a gifted time traveler and has not awakened any special powers for a long time.

I got an A+ in math only because the questions were easy. When I encountered calculus in the advanced class, I was still dumbfounded.

He has no special talents in music. He was originally a trumpet player in the school orchestra. After traveling through time, he could only lift weights.

He wasn't good at anything. Although he'd copied a classic rap song, he had no talent for it. He could only be a composer.

Style characteristics
Readers praised the book for its strong American drama style and authentic flavor!
At first I didn’t feel anything because I rarely watch American entertainment.

But I have actually watched American TV series.

"Dracula," "Game of Thrones," and "Westworld" are all blockbusters.

I haven't really read any books about modern spoken language or art and entertainment, so I don't really understand the colloquial language in the book.

But from a layman's perspective, the protagonist's aunt gives people a very real feeling. It seems that this is how the black people in the South Side of Chicago live. The gangs and guns that may appear at any time seem to be the same situation.

Simply put, this book has a strong sense of reality and immersion.

This is a classic case in the entertainment industry, and the author's selection is very accurate, and the portrayal of specific characters is also very star-like.

All in all, it is a very good entertaining novel.

【to sum up】

Writing is not easy, so cherish every moment!

I’m Cang Yiwei, and I’m here to promote “Cang’s Ramblings”!
Welcome to the paradise of book reviews.

【Cang's Ramblings】

First of all, thanks for nothing.

Secondly, the reason I recommend this book is mainly because I saw it in a single chapter by a great writer a long time ago.

I can’t remember which great writer recommended it, but the reason he recommended it was that the book was very cool.

Because I am watching the authentic version, I don’t know if it has been censored. The content looks quite normal and there are not many asterisks.

If you have seen an earlier version, please leave a message and tell me the truth.

To be honest, I seldom read entertainment articles.

Because your circle is too chaotic.

I just want to cultivate in peace.

So everyone who knows me knows that I rarely promote urban literature, and my focus is on suspense and light novels.

The suspense category hurt me before, and one of my chapters was banned and could never be released.

So, recently I will focus on light novels, and also promote some other more childish categories.

This depends entirely on your mood, so don't panic.

I took a quick look at the top 100 light novels by monthly votes, and there are about 30 books worth recommending.

The main reason is that there are too many fan fictions, and it’s easy to become numb after reading too many of them!

So what is my book promotion plan?
That means no plan!
Freshness and mystery are the main features of this book!
In addition, I plan to find some time to review myself, and I hope you can give me some constructive opinions~
Please stop me!
