Jackson believes this is the result of a lack of publicity. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Sony said that spending $250,000 on marketing is enough. Jackson himself should review. In addition to holding a promotional concert in New York. Just leave it alone. I don't even go to TV for interviews. Sensitive topics are not allowed to be raised. Offended the media. James continued to explain the whole thing to the woods.
"Michael-Jackson is a controversial star!" Lin Mu said with emotion. If Michael Jackson had been just an ordinary entertainer, he would never have been treated so unfairly. He is not only an extremely successful artist. And it has a lot of power in the American music industry! He owns half of the Beatles' songs, the most valuable legacy of white music. He owns the rights to many of Elvis Presley's songs. It has the copyright of countless songs of many famous singers. Because he owns 50% of the copyright of all songs of the world's second largest music company, Sony. Other words. Sony earns money for each line of songs. Half of it will be given to Michael Jackson!
Michael Jackson is married to the daughter of Elvis Presley, the king of white rock 'n' roll. This is hated by the white world and racism in the United States. In simple terms. He transcended the boundaries of music, and there were many things that were thought to be done only by white artists. He sings about world harmony and world peace but is made fun of. But white musicians rightfully do. Lin Mu really admired Jackson's contributions to racial equality, and there was also negative press about the star
"You're referring to his skin color?" James obviously misunderstood what Lin Mu meant, "I can assure you that Jackson has never done the so-called bleaching of skin surgery, in fact, there is no technology for bleaching skin in the world!" The change in his complexion was due to 'vitiligo', which he had as early as the 70s, and his natural state of skin was very uneven, and he had to use heavy makeup to cover it up. Jackson's porcelain-white complexion loses all of its melanin and is a typical symptom of severe white wind. Skin that lacks melanin can be seriously damaged after only fifteen minutes in the sun, so Jackson opened an umbrella as soon as he went out. But the American media demonized him! â
"Xylon, I think you've always been in favor of racial equality!" James took the newspaper in his hand and read it eloquently: "I'm tired of being manipulated. This oppression is real! They are lies, and the history books are full of lies. You have to know that all the pop music, from jazz to rock to hiphopp and then to dance music, is created by black people! But this has been forced into the corner of the history books! You've never seen a black man on its cover, you've only seen Elvis Presley, you've only seen the Rolling Stones, but who are the real pioneers? Since I broke the record record, I broke the record of Elvis, I broke the record of the Beatles, and then what? They call me a deformed person, same. xă Love, ****** freak of a child! They say that I bleached my skin and did everything I could to discredit me, these are all conspiracies! When I looked at myself as I stood in front of the mirror, I knew, I was black! These are the exact words of Michael Jackson in the newspaper, and I think he is a great, sympathetic singer! â
"You know I'm not the kind of person who listens to the wind and rain, but Michael Jackson is very different from other singers, and his entanglement with Sony over copyright issues, the constant negative press, and his own status in the music industry will put a lot of pressure on the companies he works with, are you sure FL is ready now?" As a control of the big picture, the forest needs to think about more problems than James.
"This is a great opportunity, Michael Jackson's joining is a good boost to the image of the entire FL company, and one Madonna is not enough to support the entire FL exhibition in the United States!" It can be seen that James is really interested in Michael Jackson.
"What kind of contract are you going to give him?" Lin Mu himself actually likes Michael Jackson very much, and he always has an unspeakable regret in his heart for this singer who died young. Maybe recruiting Michael Jackson under FL may be able to change the fate of the legendary singer.
A signing fee of 10,000 and a promise to make a new album within three years! James confidently stated his plan.
"If possible, try to find some new singers and form a reasonable talent pool, we can't rely on Madonna and Michael Jackson forever!" Lin Mu finally agreed to James's plan, and he allocated $300,000 from the head office to FL, hoping that FL would also get the rights to Michael Jackson's classic songs, which would be of great help to the company's next development.
When James was leaving, Lin Mu specifically asked about Lin Chiling's current situation.
"What, you said that the person in charge of the Taiwan branch did not report this to you?" Lin Mu didn't expect to get such an unexpected answer in the end.
"Yes, I asked for news of the child before, but the girl you mentioned didn't come to them!" James told Lin Mu with certainty that Lin Chiling had not come to the person in charge of Taiwan's FL company.
"Could it be something wrong?" Lin Chen felt that things seemed to be beyond his expectations, and Lin Chiling hadn't called him during this time, could it be that something happened halfway? After James left, Lin Mu immediately contacted the museum where Lin Chiling worked in Quebec, but he received the reply that Lin Chiling had resigned more than a month ago. The art museum staff told him that Lin Chiling might have returned to China.
"Why didn't she go to Taiwan's FL Records, could it be that her parents didn't agree?" Lin Mu felt a trace of loss in his heart, he was now beginning to miss the time of the trip on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, although it was only a short week, but it left Lin Mu with unforgettable memories, and unconsciously, a kind of melancholy of longing began to spread quietly in his heart.
"Do you like her?" This thought suddenly popped up, Lin Mu shook his head, he tried to tell himself that there was only a good feeling between the two, not love.
The success of "Detective Plane Head: Hong Kong Raiders" strengthened the idea of a sequel to Paramount, in fact, at the press conference before the release of the film, Lin Mu had already come up with the idea of making "Detective Plane Head" into a series of films, and he had a good idea. He is going to shoot the story in mainland China this time, it is still a comedy-themed movie, and this time it will no longer be Cheng Long who will partner with Jim Carrey, but the two young actors Shao Wen and Shi Xiaolong.
According to Lin Mu's idea, the third part will continue the plot of the previous one, Jim Carrey successfully helped Jackie Chan solve the drug smuggling case in Hong Kong, but in the formation of traveling to the mainland with his girlfriend (played by Zhang Manyu), he was inexplicably involved in a case of theft and sale of Shaolin cultural relics, and then met the Shaolin monk played by Shao Wen and Shi Xiaolong, which led to a series of ironic stories. At the same time, Lin Mu wants to take this opportunity to show the American audience some of the beautiful scenery of mainland China, such as the Great Wall, Yellow Mountain, Shaolin Temple and other scenic spots, which will appear one by one with the footsteps of Jim Carrey China/Guoxing.
His idea was good, but in the process of concrete implementation, it encountered considerable difficulties. Almost none of the members of the X-TTMD Screenwriting Studio have ever been to China, and most of them are ignorant of the scenes depicted by Lin Mu, and some even don't know about these places at all. In order to solve this problem, Lin Mu collected a large number of video materials about these scenic spots from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then selected representative ones for them to watch, so as to solve the problem of script background writing.
This question also reminded Lin Mu that the members of the X-TMD screenwriting studio did not understand the Chinese/Chinese characters, and they also did not understand Hao Shaowen and Shi Xiaolong, and Lin Mu was very worried that they would write the film as a children's film in the shaping of the characters, so Lin Mu specially found Hao Shaowen and Shi Xiaolong's most representative works "Whirlwind Kid" and "New Oolong Courtyard", so that the members of the studio watched it repeatedly, and these two Chinese/Chinese "little monks" brought a lot of laughter to the screenwriting studio. The members of the X-TMD screenwriting studio also formed a group and became familiar with the comedy style of Hao Shaowen and Shi Xiaolong, which allowed them to start thinking about a specific plot.
After the script was completed, Lin Mu himself was satisfied, but the script was confronted by director Tom Sadiak and star Jim Carrey, and the two found Lin Mu together.
"Mr. Xylon, I've never had your screenwriting skills, and I admit that the script is very well written, but I think it's more like a children's movie!" Tom Shadiak was very straightforward in his office in the woods.
"That's what Jim Carrey thinks the same way?" Lin Mu's eyes were fixed on Jim Carrey, who had not spoken.
Jim Carrey nodded, he also felt that Lin Mu's script was a bit of a child's play, two children under the age of 7 played with him, and one of the children had to make difficult martial arts moves, which he thought was a bit unbelievable.
Lin Mu was prepared for these questions of the two, and he didn't explain too much, but took Tom Sadiak and Jim Carrey to the company's screening room, where Lin Mu invited the two of them to watch a movie. In this movie, it is "New Oolong Courtyard" starring Hao Shaowen and Shi Xiaolong Shao Wen's bald head, funny style wearing sunglasses and Shi Xiaolong's martial arts, the "chemical reaction" produced by Yizhuang and One Harmony deeply attracted the attention of Tom Shadiak and Jim Carrey.
"It's amazing!" Walking out of the screening room, Tom Sadiak was still sighing at the film he had just seen, "Mr. Xylon, I really can't imagine that these two children can perform so well!" â
"How about the two little partners of Jim Carrey Jue?" Hao Shaowen and Shi Xiaolong have already approved Lin Mu through the director's approval, or listen to Jim Carrey's opinion.
"It's a natural treasure. The combination of the cute little fat man and the kung fu little monk is a perfect match! Jim Carrey shrugged humorously. I officially announce that I have become a fan of these two little stars! â
"But you two have to be fully prepared to do this two little guys perfectly on stage. But it was not easy to achieve such an effect, and their cooperation was not as simple as the two of them imagined! Lin Mu reminded.
"Mr. Xylon has seen these two children. Are they naughty? Tom Sadiak couldn't help but ask. Beside him, Dijin Carrey also looked curious.
"I haven't seen these two kids. But a lot of information was collected about them. The little fat man of the two was younger. The adults who worked with him had to take the trouble to grasp the characteristics of his place. In order to ensure that the shooting goes smoothly. He loves to lose his temper. If your temper comes up during filming. Say you don't shoot if you don't shoot: drowsiness is coming. Don't shoot; Hungry. Don't shoot
ă Don't shoot. In short, as long as you are in a bad mood. If you don't shoot, you won't shoot. Cause + field. He lost his temper. Everyone didn't have a problem with him. It's not like he's playing tricks on purpose. It's a child's normal emotional response. So. Whether it's the director. Recording engineer or journalist. I pay attention to his 'mood'. He's in a good mood. The work progressed naturally and smoothly. Lin Mu told Tom Shadiak some of the information he had.
"This kid was discovered because he shot a juice commercial when he was 3 years old, and his acting talent was discovered. His commercial film playing the little monk was very popular in Taiwan, because he often played his cards out of order, and he had a bit of Mr. Jim Carrey's nonsensical comedy style, and his performance was humorous and witty. â
"Am I going to be the babysitter for this child?" Tom Sadiak asked helplessly.
"It's not true, his parents have a nanny hired for him to take care of him on set, but he is a child after all, you can't be too tight on the pace of filming, and the filming progress may be slow!" Lin Mu puts reality in front of Tom Sadiak.
"And what about the kid who knows kung fu?" Tom Sadiak tried to ask, "He's just as naughty?" â
On the contrary, he is a very obedient and sensible child, and since the age of five, he has been able to bathe himself and cook his own daily life. And his personality is sensitive, more sentimental, and he is very good at reading the faces of adults. The voice is also soft-spoken, a little shy. has a very serious attitude towards practice and filming, has high self-requirements, and is very able to endure hardships, and is a standard good actor! Lin Mu explained.
"This child has been smart and clever since he was a child, loves kung fu, and when he was two years old, he worshiped Shi Yongxin, the host of the Shaolin Temple, as a teacher, Shaolin Temple is the birthplace of Chinese and Chinese kung fu, he has learned kung fu there since he was a child, and his acting skills are very solid!" For this reason, Lin Mu also specially explained to the two what the Shaolin Temple was all about. (To be continued.) )
