I am the fifth king

In the afternoon, He Jin bid farewell to Michael Jackson and went back to the hotel in the United States alone.

He spent about two hours in Michael Jackson's recording studio.

During the period, he chatted with Michael Jackson about some music matters.

In addition, after the two had a good talk, they also agreed to collaborate on a song together after a while.

Well, the song He Jin has come out.

He directly took out the song "House of Earth" that Michael Jackson will release in the future and has a very high evaluation in the music circle.

Michael Jackson was known to have a penchant for socially significant songs of this kind.

Therefore, when He Jin took out this song, he immediately became excited, and told He Jin that if the two of them had no chance to cooperate, then he must sing this song for him.

Well, that is to say, he wants to buy the song.

To this, He Jin did not immediately agree.

There is a saying that brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly.

Although he hit it off with Michael Jackson, and the song itself is also Michael Jackson's.

But this song has great social significance, He Jin still very much hopes that he can sing this song.

So, it's fine to sing for him, but copyright...

Well, He Jin also learned this from Michael Jackson. Even if his own songs are sung by others, he will never let go of the copyright.

After returning from Michael Jackson's side, He Jin immediately entered a busy state from the second day.

Compared with the promotion of Polygram in the UK, the influence of Polygram in the United States is much weaker.

Therefore, in terms of publicity, he has to go into battle in many cases in person.

Of course, this personal battle does not mean asking him to discuss cooperation.

Instead, PolyGram negotiated some TV programs or radio programs, and He Jin himself attended the promotion.

No way, when in the UK, when PolyGram made a statement, the major entertainment newspapers in the UK would give headlines in support.

But in the United States, this kind of treatment is not enough. Polygram is indeed the world's largest record company, but that is on a global scale.

In the United States, there are quite a few record companies competing with him.

Among other things, the old nest of EMI is in the United States.

In addition, although Warner Records is controlled by a small Japanese consortium, his old den is also here.

In Asia and other regions, these companies have been suppressed by Polygram all the year round. Now that they are in their territory, they will not let Polygram bombard them so easily like they did in the UK.

Therefore, most of the propaganda in the United States is offline and He Jin personally attends the radio station for publicity.

As we all know, the United States has another nickname, the Commonwealth.

It is a country composed of many states, and the whole country has a lot of ethnicities, skin colors, and cultural types.

Such a situation has resulted in the cultural hobbies of each region in this country.

Well, of course, they still have the culture of shooting every day.

Because of the different cultures and preferences of each state, this has resulted in a large American radio station, but none of which has completely influenced the United States.

Therefore, when He Jin was promoting, he had to travel to several states in a row.

St. Louis, Missouri.

St. Louis is the largest city in Missouri and the No.20 largest city in the United States. It is famous for its barbecue restaurants and blues music.

Of course, in addition to the above world-famous titles, St. Louis has another saying.

It is one of the most dangerous cities in America.

Yes, it is one of the most dangerous cities.

This is a place that lives up to the everyday style of American shootouts, where hundreds of homicides occur almost every year.

In St. Louis, it is already a tradition to be listed as the most dangerous city in the United States every year.

He Jin remembers that this inheritance even continued to the later generations in 2022. Even in 2017, there were 1 violent crimes per 91.5 people in St. Louis.

The number of reported homicides was 205, and while it wasn't the highest number of any U.S. city, St. Louis did have the highest murder rate in the nation.

Originally, He Jin didn't plan to come here to promote his new album, it was too dangerous.

But his new album leans toward the blues, a style that's so popular in St. Louis.

According to Polygram's plan for him, he only needs to open the door in St. Louis, and then his influence will use the underground blues music lovers in St. Louis, and the band's spread will spread rapidly.

This is simply a multiplier for the announcement of his album.

Therefore, on the [-]th day, He Jin came to this city where gun battles are held every day.

"Will this weather affect our promotional activities!"

On the way to the St. Louis Hotel, He Jin could clearly see lightning and thunder in the gray sky through the car window.

It is going to rain.

He Jin didn't want to stay in this place any longer. On the way from the airport to the hotel, he heard three gunshots in total.

He didn't know if anyone died, but the gunshot made him feel disgusted to be in this kind of place.

Even if he brought a whole bodyguard team of 20 people.

Even these bodyguards have gun licenses, which can provide him with good security.

But he still didn't like being here.

The gun has never had eyes, so he doesn't care if you are the king of heaven or an international superstar.

Therefore, seeing the weather, he was very worried that the weather would affect his plan, causing him to not be able to leave as expected.

"No, we have considered weather factors, and most of our publicity is radio publicity."

Seth Garble, a PolyGram U.S.-based employee sitting in the front seat, explained.

squeak...

"Fack, little bastard, don't run, stop!"

"Stop him, stop him, don't let him run away!"

bang bang bang...

The sound of brakes rubbing on the ground sounded, and the convoys driving in a long line stopped.

In the car, He Jin looked out through the window.

A black boy was holding a black leather bag, got up from the front of the convoy, and ran quickly to the other side of the road.

Behind him, five or six guys who were clearly members of the American Mob were running after him.

One of them was holding a dick in his hand. Seeing the black boy go away, he raised his hand and shot twice.

Unfortunately, his marksmanship may not be very good. The bullet hit the ground and left deep bullet holes, but did not hurt the boy at all.

The black boy gave full play to the advantage of being able to run, and quickly hid in the alley.

Drip~woo~~drip~woo...

In the distance, a siren sounded, and it was the arrival of the police who had frightened the American residents.

Seeing the gangster chasing into the alley and disappearing from sight, He Jin frowned and tightened his clothes.

What the hell, this happened before I even got to the hotel.

It gave him a deeper understanding of the shootout every day.

"It should be that the gangsters were trading in a certain alley next to them, and there was an accident, which doesn't happen often.

In addition, you don't have to worry about security issues, your bodyguards are professionally trained and they are capable of protecting you.

Moreover, the company has the ability to help you solve any problem, even the American gang! "

Seeing He Jin's frown through the rearview mirror, Seth Gable knew that he had concerns about public security, and then explained.

He Jin didn't speak, but nodded.

He has made up his mind that he will never come to this city next time.

The city gave him a really bad impression.

So bad that he had the idea of ​​turning around immediately.
