Chapter 368: The Job-Hopping Incident That Caused a Sensation in the World (continued)
"White and Black" is a song released by Michael at the end of '91 and is about race. Michael used a song to tell people not to be racist, but to be equal. (I haven't found out when this song was written, there is a discrepancy in the time, don't spray!) οΌ
The song undoubtedly struck a chord in Michael's heart. I talked to Michael about so many inconsequential things, and most of them were music box dance opinions, but I just wanted to find common ground with them.
Michael, whether it was in the past, present, or future, was not dug up by inducement at all. He doesn't care about profit, but about love and righteousness, as well as the pursuit of music and art.
In the end, Michael just casually asked Zhang Yi about his new work, because in his opinion, Zhang Yi's talent in music is still extremely high, but unfortunately he put his energy into movies and other businesses, and music almost gave up.
asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhang Yi to carry it with him. Although Michael is not stupid, he can naturally guess what Zhang Yi's purpose is with this song, but he is not unhappy because of this, but more curious.
I have great curiosity about the song that Zhang Yi wrote that is suitable for me to sing. He suppressed his curiosity, said goodbye to Zhang Yi, and prepared to go back in his car.
In the car, he opened the bag of Nawen, took out the score, and looked at it carefully. And as the eyes widened and widened, the mouth opened and closed.
I firmly believe that all people are equal, and whether you are right or wrong, you cannot change this truth.
But if you care about my girl, it doesn't matter if you're black or white.
I'm tired of such mistakes
I'm tired of this kind of material
I'm tired of these things
"Go back! Go back! β
After reading it, Michael, who couldn't calm down for a long time, said loudly to the driver. There was some urgency in his tone.
"Boss, he's really back." Lin Xiao came in and whispered to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi nodded, revealing a hint of a smile. After Michael left, he didn't leave, still sitting there drinking tea.
"Mr. Jackson, please be seated. Come and try our Chinese tea, I believe you will love it. Zhang Yi smiled. Said.
"You, you didn't go?" Michael came back in a hurry, not expecting that Zhang Yi had not left at all, and was a little surprised to see Zhang Yi sitting there leisurely.
"Naturally, I didn't go. Because I know, you'll be back. Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Why?" Michael was a little shocked and said, "Because of that song? β
"Nope! Because I know what you need, what do you want to do? And that's what Sony can't give you. Zhang Yi said lightly.
"Godzilla" and "Independence Day" are still popular PK, and "Independence Day" is popular and persistent. gradually overwhelmed "Godzilla".
Failure is already doomed, and "Godzilla" has no power to return to the sky.
The contest between the two film companies, Columbia Pictures and Extreme Films, or the contest between Sony and Zhang Yi, once again ended with Zhang Yi and Extreme Pictures Winning. And what Cheng dΓΉ is to win, you need to draw the film before you can see it.
After all, Godzilla is in the North American market. Rejected by American audiences, this is not the case in Europe, the United States and Southeast Asia. Of course, in the Hong Kong film market, Zhang Yi controls the entire theater chain. Then "Godzilla" didn't even have a chance to be released. As for the Japanese market, Sony can't control Japan's theaters, and Japanese filmmakers will naturally not let go of this big-scale production that can make money.
Let alone. Zhang Yi has a large number of fans in Japan, and his popularity is even higher than that of Japan's top stars. As long as the movie is related to Zhang Yi, it means that it will win a high box office in Japan.
The defeat of "Godzilla" has been revealed. Suddenly, there was another piece of news, Zhang Yi met Michael Jackson in Chinatown, and the two talked for a long time, suspected that Michael would leave Sony and jump to Zhang Yi's record company.
As soon as this report came out, it intensified, and Michael Jackson himself was a little dissatisfied with Sony Records. At this time, I was "tempted" by Zhang Yi. Job-hopping doesn't seem impossible.
It was previously rumored that Zhang Yi shifted his energy from movies to the music scene, and Rolling Stone Records developed rapidly, dominating the Southeast Asian record market, and now has marched to Europe and the United States. If Michael Jackson, the world's top pop king, can be poached, it will undoubtedly open the door to the European and American markets.
Michael: For Sony Records, it's a money-making machine, a money printing machine. Nature won't let go. However, this matter is not something that he can solve without letting go.
It didn't take long for it to be confirmed that Michael Jackson was about to jump ship to Zhang Yi's Rolling Stone Records. And the top management of Rolling Stone Records has now rushed to the United States to further negotiate with Michael.
On the issue of the details of the consultation, Zhang Yi naturally did not need to come forward. And after he said that he moved Michael, he retired and went back to Hong Kong, preparing to travel to the mainland with Zhou Huimin after the Chinese New Year.
Zhang Yi hated being blocked at the airport, so when he returned to Hong Kong this time, as usual, he only informed his full-time driver in Hong Kong, Shi Xia, who was his former bodyguard.
came back very low-key, and now that Michael has jumped ship and the Rolling Stone is rumored, no one would have thought that Zhang Yi would return to Hong Kong at this time.
However, there are no impermeable walls in the world. The news of Zhang Yi's return to Hong Kong still spread. This time, the first to flock to the country was not media reporters and tabloid paparazzi, but Huang Zhan, Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin and others.
"Ah Yi, is it true that the rumors are outside?" Huang Zhan was the first to speak. And the others also looked at it expectantly.
"What's going on out there?" Zhang Yi was a little puzzled, after all, there were too many things outside, and he didn't know what Huang Zhan was talking about.
"What else could there be, Michael Jackson jumping ship to Rolling Stones." Huang Zhan glanced at Zhang Yi and said.
"There's such a thing." Zhang Yi nodded, looked at Huang Zhan with some confusion, and said, "The Duan brothers didn't tell you?" β
"Said! I guess the two of them didn't know what to do before they went to the United States! Huang Zhan said fiercely. Then he looked at Zhang Yi and asked with some uncertainty, "Is there really such a thing." Is he really coming to Rolling Stone? β
"What am I lying to you for? I have negotiated this matter, let the Duan family brothers go over, but it is just a matter of talking about the details. Zhang Yi glanced at Huang Zhan, then looked at Zhang Guorong and the others who came with him, and said with a smile, "Why are you so excited one by one, aren't you afraid that as soon as he enters the Rolling Stone, he will share a lot of your resources?" β
"Hehe, Mr. Zhang. There are some things that we still have to do in the East. Michael. As soon as Jackson enters the Rolling Stones, not only will he not rob us of our resources, but he will also bring us more resources. Because at that time, Rolling Stone Records was no longer facing the record market in Southeast Asia, but the whole world. Besides, he is the idol of us people. We've been looking forward to sharing the stage with him for a long time. I just didn't expect that one day, there would be such an opportunity. Zhang Guorong said with a smile. And Tan Yonglin and the others also nodded violently on the side.
"There will be a chance to be on the same stage. When the details are negotiated, the company will prepare several concerts for him, including the mainland! Then you will also enter the road. Zhang Yi said with a smile.
"Continental!" Huang Zhan looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise, and then asked, "Will the mainland side agree?" This Rolling Stone Records tour has not been approved in the mainland. β
"When I go to the mainland in the future, I will talk to the central leaders of the Ministry of Culture of the mainland. If it doesn't work, it has to work. This is what I promised Michael, and I can't break my promise. Reform and opening up, emancipate the mind. These words are not slogans. Zhang Yi smiled, then looked at Huang Zhan, and continued, "When the Duan brothers come back from the United States, you tell them that Rolling Stone Records can actually develop to the mainland." β
Michael. The dust settled on Jackson's jump to Rolling Stone Records, but it was accompanied by "Godzilla" under the sniping of "Independence Day", which ended in a miserable box office and word-of-mouth, and it is said that even the cost was not recovered. Sony tycoon Akio Morita was furious, and countless people in Colombia and Sony Records lost their jobs, and he himself went to the hospital in a fit of rage. (To be continued......)
