Michael. Jackson recorded a set of albums for Alien Tales. One of the songs related to "E.T. the Extraterrestrial" is called "There's a You in the Dark".

He happily said on the phone: "This song is written by Alain and Marilyn. Bergman composed the music and lyrics, teachers, do you know them, they are the songwriters of the Oscar-winning song "The Road We Walked". ”

Wang Xiaohu scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of their names. ”

"That's a shame." Michael. Jackson didn't dwell on this issue, but continued: "I watched this movie 50 times, I watched it from theater to theater, and every time I was moved to tears, teacher, you can't think about how I like it, it's just amazing!" ”

Wang Xiaohu laughed dumbly, he really didn't expect Jackson to be calm like this, from the phone he learned that Jackson wanted to contact Spielberg through himself, hold a large concert in the Hollywood amphitheater, on the one hand, sing an episode about "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", on the other hand, to help the film sprint higher box office records.

"Michael, you have a good idea! Thank you for the suggestion, I will be in touch with Spielberg in the near future and ask him to reach out to you to facilitate this, I think he will be more than happy! ”

Wang Xiaohu gave Jackson a very satisfactory answer, and the two chatted a few more words on the phone, and through communication, Wang Xiaohu also knew that Jackson was currently preparing a new album "Trembling", and he was currently busy.

"Michael, your time is coming, come on buddy!" Wang Xiaohu sincerely blessed on the phone.

There is no doubt that ever since Wang Xiaohu heard the name "Trembling", he knew that an important watershed in Jackson's creative process was coming.

Created by Jackson himself, the album "Beatit" and "Billiejean" changed the face of pop music and is now an integral part of the pop music lexicon.

After Wang Xiaohu hung up the phone, he immediately contacted Winterdur and entrusted this matter to Lao Wen to handle it all, but Lao Wen said on the phone: "Boss, ET is like a powerful money-making machine!" Some people have started to criticize our company, saying that Concord is going around scouring their wallets. ”

"Really?" Wang Xiaohu suddenly remembered an important thing: "Is there a sales situation of related peripheral products signed with Hasbro like "Star Wars" or "Mythology", I am not just talking about doll toys. ”

"No, I didn't!" Winterdur said apologetically: "If that's the case, "ET will lose the opportunity to compete for the Oscars, because the last time "Myth" passed by the Oscars, in addition to Warner's trouble, many judges thought that "Myth" had too many by-products, accusing us of using a film's resources more than it should be!" ”

"Old Wen, if you think that those judges gave the little golden man to "ET" because of your softness, you are very wrong!"

Wang Xiaohu doesn't care about the so-called accusations, Spielberg in his memory only has two films that won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture, namely "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List", and he, like Lucas, is a science fiction film director who is despised by the academy.

At the same time, he also knew that even if he said it, Winter Dürth and Spielberg would not believe it, after all, these sounded a bit unbelievable, so after the persuasion failed, Wang Xiaohu took out his own shelf as the boss: "Old Wen, you sue Steven, if he can't win the best director or best picture in the Oscars this time, he must obediently shoot according to my requirements in the future!" ”

"Boss, I think I understand you." Winterdur also heard that the boss's tone was a little displeased, but he was still glad that Wang Xiaohu was able to be gracious.

Winterdur knows very well that the Oscars are worthless in the eyes of the boss, and the glittering little golden man definitely doesn't have dollars to make people look cheerful, but the old Wen feels that the boss just pays attention to the box office and ignores the awards, which is a bit extreme.

"There is another thing about "Shaolin Temple", Mr. Corkrian called again to ask about the release time in North America, because the big move you made in Yuben has exploded in the American karate industry, and now many people are waiting for this movie."

"Tell them to wait another month, at least to give 'ET' more time to be released." Wang Xiaohu said after thinking about it.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xiaohu began to rub his temples, with the growth of Lucas and Spielberg in recent years, they have accumulated a considerable foundation and strength in Hollywood, from Lao Wen's words, he can detect that Spielberg is bent on making films that impress the Oscars.

This is something that any director must face, after all, after the box office has a pursuit, they urgently need to be recognized by the authority, as if they can't prove their level without taking a little golden man back.

Wang Xiaohu, who was a man of two lifetimes, thought the same way at first, but after the dark box work of "Mythology" to bid for the Olympics, he lost more and more interest in the Oscars.

It is obviously a very difficult task to develop the Hong Kong Film Awards into an Oscar with a wider influence around the world, but Wang Xiaohu feels that he should be able to accomplish this in his lifetime.

In any case, if he didn't let Spielberg try it, he probably wouldn't give up, after all, now that "ET" is well received by the outside world, the image of "Parker" has a mysterious and significant significance to thousands of people.

The Hollywood Reporter believes that the film is relevant to almost everyone, and even cites two examples.

For example, there is a scene of a forest in the film, and environmentalists use this film as an excuse to call on everyone to protect the rosewood, out of anger at the deforesters.

An American pastor who sees the film as a metaphor for salvation and even the power of restoring love found 33 similarities between the story of "e.t" and the story of Christ. These include Parker's miraculous rejuvenating finger and Michelangelo's biblical frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, which bears a striking resemblance to the story of God's life and Adam's life.

A report in Time magazine said that a professional critic predicted that the film would earn $350 million.

Wang Xiaohu still agrees with the professional critic's prediction, after all, his prediction is not much different from Wang Xiaohu's memory.

"Just toss these guys, wait until next year when Steven will regret it!" Wang Xiaohu pouted, but soon felt that it was a pity to give up the development of the "et" surrounding situation, and after thinking about it, he picked up the phone and called Jabbar

Abdul-Jabbar was surprised when he picked up the phone, because he was receiving a special guest at his home at the moment, Bruce Lee.

"Hi, Tiger." Abdul-Jabbar's voice trembled a little, "No, it's nothing, I was exercising in the yard just now, and I hurriedly ran over after hearing the phone ringing, hehe, I'm still the same, yes, yes, it's a pity that you're not interested in basketball, otherwise I'll give you a ticket to the scene to feel the atmosphere"

The two chatted about their parents on the phone, and when Abdul-Jabbar hung up the phone, his face became quite embarrassed.

He spread his hands and said to Bruce Lee, "Bruce, I feel like Tiger has fallen into the eyes of money, you know what he asked me to do?" ”

Bruce Lee raised his eyebrows with interest: "I still think he doubted my identity, it seems that I am still a little too nervous, what did he let you do?" ”

"Hey, listen, this is definitely a bad idea for me, he actually asked me to contact some second-rate, third-rate or even non-mainstream toy dealers in the United States to make a batch of breeding products about "ET", you haven't seen "ET" yet, you definitely can't imagine that that ugly guy will become everyone's favorite."

Abdul-Jabbar gestured with his hand to the appearance of "Parker" and said with a wry smile, "What should I do?" ”

Bruce Lee also couldn't cry or laugh, sighed and said: "Man, I feel that he pays good attention to this, you will retire one day, it is better to do some small business or something now, to this kind of completely infringing thing is not necessarily up to you personally, you can find a trustworthy person to read the power to complete, he is an expert in this regard, of course, I mean making money." ”

"Who's going to do it?" Abdul-Jabbar patted his forehead and said, "It's a shame." ”

Bruce Lee shrugged: "Or, I'll try it?" ”

Jabbar's eyes widened and he said with a strange expression, "Are you serious?" ”

"Of course, I'm already a non-existent guy anyway, so it's better to take the opportunity to do some other business for Xiaohu, and by the way, I can investigate the mafia." Bruce Lee said as a matter of course: "By the way, I also saved original funds for hosting MMA events in the future." ”

Abdul-Jabbar didn't dare to accept it for a while, he rolled his eyes in panic and said, "Bruce, you surprised me, you are changing more and more difficult to figure out now, you must know that these things are something you refused to do before." ”

"So what? People always change, and for me, that death has given me a new lease of life. Bruce Lee said with emotion: "In the past, Xiaohu worked hard for me, and now I should do something for him." ”
