Chapter 53 Rock Star

Money started falling from the sky.

When the first album sold over a million...

The bank accounts of the four members are finally starting to see money.

The money was poured in one after another, like a trickle that would eventually become an ocean.

Among them, Lance earned the most because he wrote most of the songs.But other people are not dissatisfied with this, because the money in each member's personal account is already a huge sum of money for them, and people must be content.

It's just the rich day...

James stared at the numbers on his account for a full minute.

He has never seen so much money in his life, and it feels very unrealistic for a while, especially... the money that his father, Old John, never came in late and left early, and worked hard in the factory for two years, did not make money at this moment. More: "Damn, is this true?"

"It's all fake, even you are fake."

Lance calmly poured cold water on the side: "There is no such person as James Lemmon in the world. You are just a fictional character in a third-rate novel. The increasing numbers in the bank account are all blinded by the author to prove that the character is living a successful life." Made up indiscriminately to make readers happy."

James gave him a middle finger silently.

Then, he began to plan excitedly to buy something, but he was not short of anything, so he wanted to call home and ask his father and brother if there was anything he wanted.

As for Lance...

He never needed a plan when spending money, he went out directly after changing his clothes, stood alone at the piano store he frequented, and handed over a super long list that had been written in advance.

Under the suspicious gaze of the staff of the piano store, he pretended to be coercive to the extreme, tapped the order with his finger, and said very calmly: "I want all of these!"

Looking at the super long, super long list, the staff of the piano store immediately took a deep breath!

At this moment, even if the man in front of him has black hair, he must be shining golden in people's eyes.

And the difference with their style of painting is that...

After Baldwin and Theo got the money, the first thing they did was to find a house and move out.

"Wait, I thought our cohabitation life was not bad."

James tried to hold back, "We've been living together for a while, haven't we?"

"I'm sorry, but the 'nice' in your mouth should mean that you get up in the early morning every morning, take a shower in the bathroom and blast your high-pitched voice, waking everyone up?" Baldwin asked calmly.

"...Or, it means that you threw unfinished wine bottles all over the living room, and Lance started smashing the TV when he got upset?" Theo also added next to him.

"Uh... isn't it always like this before?" James asked awkwardly.

"But it's not the past, you can't always live in the past, silly Jimmy." Theo replied with a smile.

It makes sense.

Also, apart from the military and prisons, there are probably few perverts who live together all day long in a communal life.

Therefore, although James is unwilling, he can only accept this somewhat uncomfortable reality.

But he still couldn't help but begged them: "I beg you, don't move too far, okay?"

Baldwin and Theo replied perfunctorily: "Try it."

Then, on a Sunday afternoon, they dragged their suitcases and left.

When everyone moved in together, everyone was so poor that they didn't have much.

So, when they left, they didn't take anything with them.

Just in the process of moving...

James stood at the door sadly the whole time, watching them leave as if he had been abandoned, and deliberately sighed in a disgusting tone: "Oh, you just take my heart away!"

Theo nearly fell over laughing,

He put down the suitcase suddenly, ran back in a 50-meter sprint, gave his emotional lead singer a super big hug, and said briskly: "Come on, brother! Trust me, wait for you to find a beautiful girl later, When you want to have a good time every day and don’t want to be surrounded by people, you can’t wait to find a house and move out.”

"So, it has nothing to do with me singing in the bathroom and throwing wine bottles..."

James immediately asked sharply: "Is this the real reason you want to move out?"

Theo winked and returned him a not-so-serious smirk: "Maybe."

Baldwin also came over to hug him at this time, and comforted him with a smile: "Stop making trouble, can't we meet again in the rehearsal room tomorrow?"

That's right.

But James was still upset.

Afterwards, like a child with no one to play with, he vented his dissatisfaction in his diary: [I think we all live together.That way, whenever Lance comes up with an interesting new idea, I can immediately run to knock on the doors one by one and call everyone out!Then, a fast and furious improv, isn't that a good life?Why move away?Okay, now I'm in the mood, but I don't have a drummer or a bass player... Forget it, I can actually sing pretty damn well by myself! ]

Wake up, little fool!

No one can always be by your side, but also on call!

This is the reality, only compromise.

Fortunately, Lance has no plans to move.

But this guy has other plans.

He directly asked Abel for help, bought this apartment that was originally only a temporary rental, and opened up the room where Baldwin and Theo used to live without any hesitation and ruthlessness, planning to build a small home recording studio.

To be honest, his consumption awareness is very advanced, and the speed of spending money is definitely much faster than the speed of making money. In terms of finance, he often adds new accounts as soon as the previous accounts are cleared.

Therefore, James was surprised by his series of operations. Before he could react, he found that the real owner of the house had changed rapidly.

So, he had to start worrying about another question: "You...don't want to kick me out, do you? Or, I have to pay you rent?"

Langston laughed suddenly, and his blue eyes were bright for a moment.

Then, he came over, put his arm around the shoulder of his blond lead singer, lowered his head gently and promised: "You can live as long as you want, without rent."

James shrank his shoulders, broke away from his arms uncomfortably, and muttered, "Should I say thank you to you? It always feels a little strange."

But for him, who has a somewhat nostalgic personality, he doesn't need to move to another place, and his best friend still lives in another room in the same house, which is very satisfying.

In return, he gave Lance a lot of things one after another, including some expensive cufflinks, ties, and various guitar strings. One of the very thin guitar strings is still He went to several places to buy it.

They lived a relatively quiet time, and, because of their relative day and night, their relationship became closer.Especially the instant hit in music can always shorten the spiritual distance between two people.

Lance probably felt the same way.

Otherwise, he would never tolerate a person running around his house like a psychopath, and he would also fill the refrigerator and the corner of the living room with beer, cider and other drinks.

Once during rehearsal, Theo even found out in surprise: "Jimmy, is this shirt of yours the same brand as Lance's?"

"Oh, it's his one. Didn't you notice that I'm obviously a little too big?" James replied carelessly, fiddling with the microphone, "I think it looks good, so I borrowed it from him."

Theo and Baldwin couldn't help but looked at each other, both feeling incredible.

When did Lance become so talkative?Usually, he is so particular about being so particular that he is driving people to death, but now he pampers this guy so much?

However, they didn't think too much about it.

Because next, they will go out to perform again.

It started with Lance getting a phone call from Lawrence.

The senior blues guitarist whom he met on a national tour asked politely, "Can I help you?"

Lance has always had absolutely nothing to say to his friends.

So, he immediately replied: "Your words, no problem."

At this time, Abel was preparing for their summer tour.He wanted to start the tour immediately after the band's new song came out this time, so as to promote the new record.This time, there is no need to rub against that kind of joint tour team at all, and the Planetary Band can be the leader alone.

Therefore, the band currently has no important schedule.

When Lance said [entrusted by Lawrence, he was going to be an opening guest for a rock band called 'Urchin'], Abel agreed without thinking.

How about this trip?

What an eye opener!

There is nothing to say about the itinerary on the road, but when we arrived at the performance, we happened to meet the Urchin Band who was rehearsing.

When he saw them rehearsing, James was very surprised.

Because... let's put it this way!

The Planets were a four-piece band, while the Brats were a one-piece band.

Ablett, the lead singer with wavy hair and tight leather pants, seems to regard all the members of his band as his hired staff, that is to say, except for the lead singer himself, whether it is the drummer or the bass player , keyboard player...even guitarist, every member can be fired and then replaced at will.

Therefore, he kept directing everyone to cooperate with him at the rehearsal site.Moreover, he would never allow the voice of the guitarist or bassist to overwhelm him. If the drummer was a little slower, or the rhythm of the drum was not in line with his intentions, he would be mercilessly abused and insulted by him on the spot. There are outsiders watching around.

Everyone in the Planetary Band is not quite used to this situation.

James also murmured in private: "Isn't this a bit too much? Why doesn't he form a band, why doesn't he sing solo?"

But Ablitt's attitude towards him was quite enthusiastic at the beginning.

Maybe it's because both of them are the lead singers?

"Hey Jimmy, what do you usually do with them?"

That day, Ablit handed over a cigarette and asked with a casual smile.

"Who are you going to deal with?" James asked with a puzzled expression as he took the cigarette.

"Of course it's to make everyone in your band obedient! Those idiots who think they know two instruments, are pretentious, and always try to steal our limelight." Ablit said.

James' expression immediately became a little strange.

Then he put the cigarette in his mouth and drank it first, and then, thinking, he replied slowly: "Uh... I usually tell jokes to the unhappy guitarist until he makes him happy; occasionally help us The drummer is moving the equipment, and moving the drum kit around is hard work; as for the bass player, we often bicker with each other and make some pranks or something."

The smile on Ablit's face slowly disappeared.

He looked at James in silence for a while, and then said: "You are completely different from what was written in the newspaper."

James smiled nonchalantly, and asked casually, "Oh, how do you usually write about me in the newspapers?"

Ablit frowned and replied: "The newspapers said you were a hooligan, a domineering devil or something. I thought we would have a lot of common language."

"That disappoints you."

James calmly denied it, and put on a very well-behaved posture: "Obviously, it's all fake news. I'm not that I don't have a super good temper."

Ablit immediately showed a very disappointed expression.

He stared at James bitterly: "You are not rock and roll at all! You are really an embarrassment to our lead singer."

James smiled again, but still didn't answer.

But he continued to think in his heart: "Come on! A band like you is a leader, and you don't have any shit like friends. Don't represent our lead singer. I also think you are ashamed."

But the more you ignore this guy, the more energetic this guy is.

He spit and accused: "Listen, you are not a rock star at all like this! Rock stars don't give up!"

James really didn't want to argue with him.

He still said modestly: "That's not it, I'm actually not very rock and roll all the time."

Ablit looked down on people more and more.

He continued to ramble on a bunch of nonsense, and the general meaning of it may be "You are too weak, you are so weak, you are actually being bullied by the rubbish members of the band, the lead singer should be the most amazing, look how much I am How awesome!You don't deserve to be a rock star'.

- You don't deserve to be a rock star!

This guy's language is quite boring and his vocabulary is simple, and he said this sentence over and over three or four times.

James had already bowed his head and smoked in boredom, and kept silent the whole time.

Under normal circumstances, he is really not as irritable as the newspapers said, and he is not a particularly troublesome person. He doesn't care about this kind of verbal dispute at all: Doesn't it depend on the strength of the lead singer?Bullying all the band members to death is considered powerful?Let's do it!If you are awesome, you can be awesome, I can quietly watch you pretend to be awesome.

Probably because of the lack of speculation and half a sentence...

Ablit didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he turned around and left.

Afterwards, when we ran into each other a few times in the background, he always put his eyes on his forehead, as if he looked down on them.

Pretty annoying.

But everyone in the Planetary Band didn't care at all.

Who is this idiot?Oh, I don't know.

Everyone just came to help, and left after the performance, regardless of other business.

However, the day of the show came.

When James and the others were only half singing on stage...

Mr. Ablit, the lead singer who thought he was awesome, actually came on stage ahead of schedule.

While dancing, he waved his hands arrogantly and disdainfully towards the Planetary Band, probably meaning to ask them to step down, or to cooperate with him and serve as a background board.

James only found out later, because they sang so well and acted so well at the beginning, they kind of stole the limelight.

Therefore, this person wanted to go up and interrupt their performance and regain control of the stage.

Thinking about it, I'm so sorry!

The Planetary Band has always gone all out for performances, but it never occurred to them to take care of weaklings.

But how?

It's really not good for the opening band to always steal the limelight. They have been educated by the kangaroos before. If we can say this in advance, everyone will definitely restrain themselves appropriately.

But since you didn't say it in advance, you ran over halfway, and somehow wanted to interrupt other people's performance?

James got angry from the heart.

What did you say before?

We are actually good people and never thought of taking the initiative to make trouble, but there are always people who want to make trouble with us.

James, who claims to have a super good temper, continued to sing calmly, walked behind the idiot with a smile, and kicked him off the stage: "It's not your fucking turn yet!"

Fuck, it's finally cool!

As you wish!

Are you happy, Ablit?

At this moment, I am a cool rock star again^_^! !
