“I always cannot believe that life can be this governing,” me.

“Who says it is not,” Indira.

Me and Indira were at a big event hosted by Kwat, a friend I have not been seeing for long.

Who is that person? I think you should have known.

The lights were shining and I can see all indie artists’ eyes. How loyal they are for their dream, to become a true artist? You can tell.

On that day, I just believe that I could see 50 Cents, so I purchased the ticket. It is very weird because the only way you can get close to the stage is not by purchasing the expensive ticket, but to arrive early.

“Why I don’t feel it no more?” Me.

“You grew old,” Indira.

Yes, when I see a celebrity now, I try not to think that much but to feel I can feel the rush.

When 50 Cents was walking in and waving to the crowd, I applause and screaming along with the crowd while Indira looking at me with weird eye. She hinted that I am pretending another person again.

“Sush~” I went to the bathroom, and then to the bar. I brought back us two glasses of Whiskey on rocks and hers is with lemon.

She put the lemon between her lips and taste the juice a bit, then shot it all.

“Ueh——” while I was taking one sip at the time and holding the whiskey under my tongue a bit before swallow it.

“Ok, let’s make some calculation. First, everyone needs to pay $45 dollars to get in and there were 300 participants. So the total input they can have is $13,500 but the venue at least cost $ 8,000 for a day giving the space and not really, plus the equipment and labor, at least $20,000. At least the booths can give split, but I do not believe. Oh yeah, only me do not buy food here.”

“It can be a break-even thing,” Indira.

Indira and I were so quietly enjoy our mini-concert while listening to the lectures given by the musician.

“I think if I can, I will write for 50 Cents’s script,” Me.

“And then doing what?” Indira with a bit tipsy attitude hinted something else.

“I will write something like. We are not at that era no more, and timing is very important. What is more important, is that I am here to help each of you to achieve the dream you want. The UnitedMaster is a gate for you to enter the field and the next thing to do is, gambling,” I started laughing and then the guy sitting before me looked back hinted I was being too loud.

“Or we can do this. We find someone, build someone and then buy all the fake streams and then leave all the real comments. That person cannot know, and our target audience cannot know. So who should we pick?” and then she was looking at me.

I pinned the guy who just looked at me and hinted I was rude. “Hi sir, we are Radiance Label, and we are here to explore new artist. The hip-pop type which our label is lacking. There is totally no out of pocket from you but with a bit competition and process. If you are interested, let me know,” I handed the guy a card.

His name is Boshi.

“Why him, it is so an outdated pick,” Indira complained while having a second shot, my leftover Whiskey.

Indira and I were crossing each other’s arm. We do not usually hold hands.

Yes, when you picked the bona fide pray, the rest needs to be non-bona fide.

I went to Matar the second day, “hey dude, there is a new project of the company. I know you DJ rapping a bit. Which role you wanna play? The audio engineer? or the competitor-participant?”

Matar, “I don’t care your shit!”

“Well, let me know if you change your mind boo,” and then I followed him a loving emoji.

And then I called another old friend to ask if he is interested. I got rejected as well.

“Maybe go to school,” I called indira and requested to have a seminar at Music College, Mumbai.

I flew to Mumbai and was able to have a seminar. The slogan is, “Come to America”.

Of course, ESL has to meet at least 8 and there must be publication requirement. Screening process is more fun. But why they were not the target?

15 of them, all look American.

The name of camp thereafter started. June 01, 2020.

Boshi came on the first day as well with the 15 music elites from Mumbai and all of them pretending American. That is part of the contract.

Of course, the morning lesson is public speaking. In front of the camera, you presenting yourself.

Before close of the day, Gym with instructors.

After 6 pm, beautiful $ 500 cash handed to each.

20-day program, $10,000 to their pocket, if Boshi can make it.

How much Boshi was getting? ZERO.
