Chapter 177. 【King Mike】
Invite Mike Jackson to be the leading actor and star in "Dance Floor Fight"!
Yi Feiyang's words directly bombarded the big guy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Let's not talk about whether Mike can act well in this play, just talk about his dancing skills, which is definitely the first-class in the world, if he calls himself the "God of Dance", it is estimated that no one will dare to stand up and doubt.
But the problem is that Mike has never acted since his debut!
Mike's singing career is developed, so that he doesn't care about making any movies at all, and only occasionally has an interest in making a cameo, revealing a small face...... For example, in his previous life, he made a cameo appearance as an alien in "Men in Black...... His main direction is to hold concerts and shoot song MVs. We can see his wonderful performances in many song MVs. For example, there is a clip in which he incarnates as an Egyptian prince in the MV, dancing in front of Cleopatra, and finally turning into a handful of golden sand...... This clip is also borrowed from the Hong Kong comedy film "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qi'er", in which the villain casts a demon spell and uses golden sand to conjure up a woman to assassinate the emperor......
In short, Mike Jackson will not make movies, and legend has it that many large film companies have offered him sky-high prices to film, but he has rejected them all. Now Yi Feiyang is undoubtedly dreaming of this unbelievable suggestion.
"Alas, it looks like Boss Yi wants to defeat the Wachowski brothers and wants to go crazy, look, they're all starting to talk in their dreams, so is Mike so easy to invite?"
"Yes, I heard that last year Fox offered 25 million to invite Mike to shoot a science fiction film about lunar exploration, but he refused."
"Alas, where can a small company like ours invite a moving person? Even if you have please. Where can you afford it? ”
"That's right. It looks like the boss is a little confused. ”
……
There is a lot of discussion. Everyone thought that Yi Feiyang was whimsical.
Yi Feiyang had expected them to have this kind of reaction, but he didn't expect the reaction to be so strong.
Could it be that Mike Jackson is really that hard to please?
Yi Feiyang was a little unconvinced.
So he slapped the table and said: "We have an ancient Chinese saying that there is nothing difficult in the world, but we are afraid of people with hearts, which means that nothing in the world can stump you, it depends on whether you work hard to do it." Right now. I announce the official launch of the "Dance Floor Brawl" project, and I want to invite Mike to be the main character! As long as Mike joins, I believe that the box office of this drama will not beat "Hacker 2", even if it beats "Star Wars", it is possible! ”
yes, how many fans does Mike have around the world? That's definitely a super scary number, 750 million copies in terms of his record sales. There must be no less than 500 million fans, if every fan buys a ticket to enter the show. A ticket costs at least $6, that's ...... 3 billion box office ......
Yi Feiyang only felt that his heart was full of excitement, if the movie came true, if the box office came true, if ...... Don't dare to continue imagining.
At this moment, Yi Feiyang made a categorical decision and made everyone shut up, but closing his voice does not mean that everyone agrees with his approach, and everyone still doesn't believe that Yi Feiyang can really invite Mike, the king of heaven, to act!
……
"Neverland" is located in Santa Barbara County, California, about 170 kilometers northwest of Los Angeles, covering an area of about 2,800 acres.
Michael. Known as the "King of Pop Music", Jackson is the most influential musician in the Western pop music scene after Elvis Presley. Along with Elvis Presley and The Beatles, Jackson is the greatest immortal symbol in pop history, and he pioneered the modern MTV, and he pushed pop music to the top. He was the first artist in music history to sell hundreds of millions of records outside the United States. His magical dance moves have been emulated by countless celebrities.
Today, Mike lives in this luxurious manor called "Dream Hill", which must be a dreamy life in paradise for those who don't know the details, but for Mike, this manor is really not "dreamy", on the contrary, it is very expensive.
In that year, Mike bought the estate for 17 million, and then paid $5 million a year as an expense to buy antiques, ancient paintings, paintings, artworks, etc. as decoration, not for investment, but for huge consumption.
Now, this manor is a headache for Mike Jackson, because the bank and Sony brokerage have started to collect debts again.
Mike, who has always spent money lavishly, never imagined that one day he would worry about money, let alone that the banks and economic companies he has always trusted would be so unsympathetic, so he delayed repaying his debts for more than a month, so he kept calling.
"Damn bastards, have they forgotten how I helped them before?" Mike shouted as he stood on the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs stood his personal lawyer, Pani, who loosened his tie and said, "Those guys are vampires, you should have known this for a long time, as long as you don't pay back the money for a day, they will chase after you for a day, and then ruin your reputation and make you embarrassed in public......"
"I don't need to listen to that, I'm ashamed enough, yes, it's shameful!"
"Actually, there's a solution, like I said last time, if you're willing to be a little flexible......" Parney said euphemistically.
"Why, do you want me to sell these precious paintings cheaply? Damn, I'm going to die, and I'm not going to throw anything here! Mike yelled, pointing to the paintings hanging on the walls.
Pani sighed, "Mike, as your personal lawyer, I still have to give you a word of advice, you are not the same person you used to be, you have to face reality, yes, you have to face reality!" ”
What does that mean? Is that saying I'm not popular enough? It's out of the stream anymore? Mike just felt a panic in his chest.
"What do I say, you know best in your heart, okay, I see that you are in a bad mood and need someone to calm down." Parney turned to leave.
He didn't take two steps before Mike suddenly said, "Pani......"
"What?" Parney turned to look at Mike.
Mike, who was still thunderous just now, suddenly looked at him like a child at this time, "What you just said...... Is it all true? ”
Parney nodded, not saying anything.
Mike bit his lip, "Maybe, I'm really not so red...... If I remember correctly, I'm already three months in arrears of your salary. ”
Pani was slightly stunned, but nodded.
"Take whatever you like here, damn it, sell these treasures, it's better to give them to you as a salary!" Mike muttered to himself.
Pani smiled slightly, looked at the very naïve Mike, shook his head, to be honest, he really didn't know how such a naïve man became the king of pop, and he dominated the music industry for so long, in him, you can't see any scheming that a star should have.
"No, dear Mike, to be honest, the gift you gave me on my birthday last time was enough to pay my salary for a year!"
"Oh, really?" Mike smiled happily, "Anyway, I still owe you three months' salary, but...... Now I don't really have that much cash, so ...... Later, dear Pani, trust me, I will make it up to you! ”
Parney smiled and turned to leave.
Mike sat on the stairs alone feeling a little tired, looking at the big hall, luxurious and magnificent, but he didn't feel a little happiness.
What is happiness?
Mike asked himself.
Chasing fame and money?
No, I have all of these, but are I happy?
No, not happy!
Like now, who would know that Gui, who is the king of American pop, has a headache because of debt.
Yes, he is the king of heaven, but the king of heaven also needs to pay off debts, he shouldn't be so poor, but in fact, he is really not a "big man", but a "big loser"!
Damn, when did your life go from a rich superstar to a debtor?!
First of all, is this dream manor? Is it wrong to say that he has spent so much effort and money on this manor? Like Pani just said, should I throw the damn decorations out of the house one by one and sell them?
No, you can't do that yourself! If I do, I'll be caught by these nasty journalists, just in time to orchestrate how I am in debt and can't make ends meet...... Think about it, what an insult that is.
Secondly, you may really have no business acumen, and you only lose money and make no money in business!
He announced that he would form a joint venture with the Prince of Arabia to form a multimedia entertainment group, Kingdom Entertainment, which would span hotels, amusement parks, movies, cartoons, records, publishing, travel, and a variety of home entertainment products. He also constantly emphasizes the family value level of this joint venture plan, and will never advocate depravity and immorality.
But as a result, the company always loses money, and the two hundred and five Arab princes, like himself, are mentally retarded in doing business, so that they keep throwing money and burning money, and the result is that they are losing more and more money, so that they finally can't support themselves...... The prince has oil, and the oil field can be injected with oil in a day, and the banknotes will fly in a big way, what do you have? Only dancing and singing......
In the end, you should complain about those damn lawsuits that are purely slandering themselves!
In response to the 1993 lawsuit, he hired two expensive lawyers to help deal with it, and each of them paid nearly one million dollars in legal fees, not including honorariums for witnesses, private investigators, etc. That's a lot of money for someone with a fortune of $350 million, not to mention that he still has $200 million in debt at that time, and oh my God, I was really going to kill myself during that time!
The thought of this gives Mike a headache. (To be continued......)
