America's Top Player

Chapter 124 Queen
Li Ang was silent for a few seconds, lost in thought amidst the smoke.

Currently, the song "We don't talk anymore" is in the production stage.

Robbie has completed the recording, and Max Martin's arrangement and post-production work has also been completed.

Once the MV shooting starts, promotional activities can also be carried out at the same time.

The style of this song is barely in line with Taylor Swift's.

If he is ruthless, there is nothing he can't do, even at the risk of breaking up with Robbie or even breaking up with him.

This isn't the first time he's done something like backstabbing.

But Li Ang rejected this idea in just over ten seconds.

The recording of this song was suspended a month ago to prevent further involvement in the dispute over mastering rights with ROC.

He is unwilling to sing his own songs, let alone the songs prepared for him by ROC.

Everyone in the industry knew about Taylor's "sell-out contract" with Big Machine Records.

The copyrights of the six albums she has released so far are all in the hands of Big Machine Records!
This resulted in him having to pay his boss Scott every time he sang his own songs, and even every time he proposed to terminate the contract, he would be threatened with the copyright of his previous six albums.

A huge fortune that should have belonged to Taylor went into Scott's pocket, while she herself was like a slave tied up in the basement.

This girl would do such a stupid thing, but Leon would never do that.

He curled his lips and said, "I only sing my own original works."

"Really? Then you'd better hurry up and create. Missing this wave of traffic will be a loss for all of us. Everyone knows that you are greedy by nature. This is a huge sum of money and you must not miss it." Lenny gritted his teeth as he said this.

Li Ang's attitude towards contract renewal is vague.

And today's disastrous consequences are entirely caused by JAY-Z.

He followed Beyoncé's advice and did not force the copyright of Li Ang's works into the contract.

At that time, he could never have imagined that a poor boy playing guitar in the subway station could achieve what he has today.

Now that I think about it, my back teeth are probably about to break.

The door to Lenny's office was pushed open, and a mellow and sexy voice was heard.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Listen, you can't do such frivolous things. It's work time now!"

The white tight jumpsuit, dark gold big wavy hair, and 18-carat Lorraine Schwartz wedding ring on her finger announced her wealth to everyone who followed her.

Even more eye-catching than the jewelry was her slender thighs, which were strong and well-defined.

The taillights swing left and right with your steps, just like an American pickup truck.

It's Beyoncé.

Lenny and Leon immediately stopped arguing.

Outside the door, Jorge's big hands were still rubbing the poor black secretary's taillights.

Beyoncé frowned, "Stop it!"

With that, she closed the door and strode into the office.

The 12cm high heels had no effect on her steps.

She casually threw her bag on the sofa and welcomed him with open arms. "Sorry, Li Ang, the recording of the new album has been delayed for some time."

Although Beyoncé and JAY-Z are married, they are not signed to ROC.

Her contract is with Sony Columbia Records.

The reason lies in reasonable resource allocation.

Although the ROC Kingdom has a certain scale, it is not comparable to giants like Sony Columbia.

If ROC signs Beyoncé, it will have no extra resources to promote other singers.

Beyoncé's new album "4" is currently being recorded, and the distinctive numerical name has been speculated by many media to be a rival to Adele's "21".

This unremarkable chubby girl from England not only dominated the Billboard charts, but also started a massacre in the North American record market.

The album "21" has sold more than 200 million copies in less than two months since its release, and this year's annual sales volume is likely to exceed 500 million copies.

Eminem's "Recovery" is almost certain to surpass last year's annual championship.

After Beyoncé arrived, Lenny became noticeably quieter.

His master JAY-Z always lets the queen do whatever she wants, let alone him, a mere worker.

Beyoncé talked about the street beef caused by Leon, her private life, and finally focused the topic on her new album.

However, there was no mention of the topic of inviting songs.

Perhaps it was his pride that was at work, but Li Ang keenly noticed that the Queen wanted to speak several times but swallowed it back.

"You want to buy a house?" Beyoncé's eyes lit up when talking about buying a house.

"It's just a plan. Buying a house in New York is not a small amount of money, you know."

Lenny on the side had a complicated look in his eyes. This kid has only been in the industry for half a year and already has the financial resources to buy a big house in New York?
He has been working in the music industry for nearly 20 years and has served countless big names and celebrities, but he has only managed to afford a 1600-square-foot apartment in Brooklyn Heights.

"Maybe I can give you some advice. No one knows real estate better than me!" Beyoncé excitedly straightened her body, completely ignoring the deep Mariana Trench and almost hitting Li Ang in the face.

But Beyoncé's obsession with real estate is open within the circle.

On her birthday, Christmas and other important days every year, Jay-Z would prepare luxury cars and mansions as gifts in advance to make the queen happy.

She owns valuable mansions in luxury areas such as Bel Air and Malibu in Los Angeles.

He also owns luxury apartments in well-known wealthy areas such as New York's Upper East Side and Tribeca.

On her 29th birthday last year, JAY-Z spent $2200 million to buy her a 12.5-acre private island in Florida.

Maybe this is JAY-Z's way of making amends for his guilt over cheating on him with Rihanna.

Beyoncé then asked: "I mean, do you want to come see my house? I've been through so many pitfalls when it comes to buying a house~"

Li Ang was about to say something when the other party stood up and grabbed his hand.

Beyoncé's eye-catching vintage sports car is parked downstairs at ROC.

This 1959 Rolls-Royce "Silver Cloud II" is her favorite means of transportation.

boom--

Beyoncé drives a style as wild as her figure.

"That DISS you and 50 Cent did was amazing." The two chatted non-stop on the way to Tribeca.

"I was just passively fighting back." Li Ang said, spreading his hands.

Since Beyoncé took the initiative to bring up this topic, he has nothing to worry about.

The entire entertainment industry knows that Beyoncé and her husband have a very good relationship with P. Diddy.

JAY-Z and Diddy have been together since the 90s, and they were so close that they would often sleep in the same hotel room and discuss music all night long.

Not only did Beyoncé publicly celebrate Diddy's birthday, she also often attended Diddy's crazy parties with JAY-Z.

Diddy also once publicly stated that he was jealous of JAY-Z because he married the most perfect woman in the world.

Li Ang even suspected at one point that a tricycle relationship had developed between the three of them.

Since Diddy sees no difference between men and women, the scene must have been quite chaotic.

"Haha~ I can tell you what's going on with Diddy right now." Beyoncé laughed heartily. "He's pissed off. He doesn't even want to party anymore. He wants to kill you and 50 Cent."

"But I've already warned him not to attack you. Just treat this as a joke. Diddy always likes to joke around."

joke?

Li Ang's eyes were complicated.

Didi has done so many dirty things that stabbing people in the back is a basic operation for him.

"I don't think this joke is funny," Li Ang said bluntly.

Brooklyn Heights is not far from Tribeca, just across the Brooklyn Bridge and adjacent to Wall Street.

The location here is excellent, and the office building of the wealthy Goldman Sachs Group is located at the southwest end of Tribeca.

To the south is the financial district, and Wall Street is within walking distance, so this place has become a favorite of financial tycoons besides the Upper East Side.

Beyoncé's mansion is a top-floor duplex apartment with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an interior area of over 6 square feet. It is a typical American-style flat with open air access on all sides.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Ang was fascinated by the scene before him.

There is nothing fancy or complicated about the decor here. Although Americans are the conjugated father and son of the British, they do not like the retro and sophisticated British style.

The overall decoration style is more Nordic, focusing on transparency and simplicity.

What really caught Li Ang's eye was the artwork here. The walls were covered with famous paintings that JAY-Z bought from auctions around the world.

Some of these works are worth as much as the apartment itself.

Beyoncé took off her high heels and walked barefoot on the carpet in front, saying, "You can walk around freely without feeling restricted."

The 16 golden Grammy trumpets won by Beyoncé are neatly stacked in the most conspicuous position in the living room.

Compared with it, Li Ang's small trumpet is obviously dwarfed.

"Some time ago, I specially customized a larger trophy display cabinet. I was afraid that there would be too many trophies and it wouldn't be able to fit them all in the future~" Beyoncé said with a proud expression on her face.

But Leon's eyes were not on the trophies. On the wall leading to the second floor was a huge photo.

Beyoncé was almost naked, covering her chest and triangle area with her hands.

Her expression is blurred, and the strong contrast of light and shadow effects clearly shows every inch of her muscle contours.

Li Ang quipped, “I think this is the best work here.”

Hearing this, Beyoncé rarely showed a shy expression and poured Li Ang a cup of coffee.

The two sat down facing each other.

"How about Tribeca? I own a lot of real estate in New York, but I still like living here. It's so convenient to buy everything." Beyoncé took a sip of coffee and continued, "You said you like Chinese food. Not far east from here is East Grand City, which has the best Chinese food in New York."

Every word Beyoncé said was trying to induce Leon to buy a property in Tribeca.

There is nothing to say about the convenience of life and the location and facilities here, but there is only one point worth discussing -

It's too expensive here.

When Li Ang heard that Beyoncé's property was worth more than 2500 million US dollars, he shuddered and almost dropped his cup.

He still has $1200 million in his account, and even if he buys a house half the size of this one, he'll have to spend it all.

Beyoncé fluttered her eyelashes and continued, "If you lived here, we could see each other every day and have a drink anytime in the evening."

This sounds very tempting.

But Li Ang didn't dare to cross the line easily.

If this really happens, the person below will have a great time, but it is hard to say whether the head above can be saved.

He was immersed in this fantasy when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

It was a message from Taylor Swift, [How dare you reject me?]

"It's not a rejection, I just don't have any inspiration at the moment." Li Ang replied.

[Don't make excuses! Scott told me everything. You've been acting so hesitant. Of course, I don't care at all. There are so many male singers who want to work with me.]

Taylor's words revealed that she was in a bad mood.

Li Ang could only try to appease her, "Now is not the right time. When have you ever seen me sing a song written by someone else? This whole "gunman" thing is disgusting to me."

He said this on the surface, but his inner subtext was: It's because you, a silly girl, never think before doing anything that you've been led around by the nose like a money-printing machine!
Taylor quickly responded: "Right time? What does that mean? Honestly, I don't give a damn."

This stupid woman!
Li Ang's finger stopped on the screen, not knowing what to type, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to explain.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange touch coming from under his body.

Through the glass mirror of the tea table, he saw Beyoncé's feet trying to reach out to him.

The toes move up and down, which is very provocative.

This situation was not unfamiliar to him; Robbie always liked to do this when he was drunk.

Unlike Robbie, Beyoncé's feet are obviously bigger, but black people's skin is more delicate and smooth like a mirror.

Beyoncé is not black in the pure sense. Her genes are too mixed, with both Latin American and European styles.

"Who were you texting with just now, Robbie?" Beyoncé held her chin with a squinting look in her eyes.

"no."

"So you were talking to another girl?" Beyoncé said. "I understand. You've achieved so much in such a short time, and a lot of women are looking at you."

"But...you can't be distracted when talking to me!"

The aura Beyoncé exudes at this moment is completely different from that on stage.

Her aura on stage is equally strong, but it is more of a strong affinity.

Now, she acts like the Mean Girl (harsh) in some dangerous game.

The more silent Li Ang was, the bolder Beyoncé's actions became.

"I think we should do something."

"For example?" Li Ang pretended to be confused and swallowed a mouthful of coffee.

"Something special, like what my husband and that bitch Rihanna are doing here."

As she spoke, Beyoncé lifted the hem of her skirt.

The plump and slender thighs are fully revealed.

Long-term dance training has made her body exude a powerful beauty that is different from other girls.

Li Ang felt his throat getting slightly hot, and his rationality began to waver.

It is not a good idea to have friction with my sister-in-law in this situation.

Although the two of them knew it tacitly, there was no impenetrable wall in the entertainment industry, a broken house.

Otherwise, Beyoncé would have no way of knowing that JAY-Z cheated on Rihanna.

At this moment of deep affection, the phone rang.

It's Phil.

Li Ang played with Beyoncé's calf while swiping the screen to answer the call.

"Why aren't you in the office?" Phil asked hurriedly.

"Do I need to report to you where I'm going?" Li Ang responded.

"Haha, look at how awful you treat me. You're going to regret it~" Phil's laughter became increasingly shrill. "Aren't you worried about losing the best agent in the world?"

"Are you going to tell me what it is or not? I'm very busy and in a hurry." Li Ang frowned.

"I have a huge surprise for you!"

“What a surprise!”

"Adidas endorsement contract, I believe you are familiar with this brand~" Phil's voice was high-pitched, and his tail was almost raised to the sky.

The name of this brand is probably no stranger to the poor people in the third world of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

It has been fighting with Nike, the most famous sports brand in the world, for half a century.

A well-deserved world-class brand.

"You did a good job." Li Ang praised.

If it weren't for Phil's extraordinary work ability, he would have kicked Old Deng out three times.

"I'm in the office, come on, kid~" Phil said, "Do you know how much this contract is worth if it goes through?"

"Let's talk about this later. I'll be there now." Li Ang hung up the phone.

Phil's call gave him an excuse to slip away and avoid doing anything irrational.

"Something urgent has to happen. I think I have to go, Ms. Beyoncé." Li Ang pushed Beyoncé's legs aside and said, "Thank you for the coffee. I hope we can have it again next time."

He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "taste".

Beyoncé did not try to persuade him to stay. She crossed her legs and watched him leave with her beautiful eyes.

“You can come and taste it anytime.”
