America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

1ing in the deep》

Neverland was originally a farm, covering an area of ​​2,800 acres, larger than the ten T'anmen Square combined.

Michael Jackson bought this place in 1987 and spent a huge amount of money to transform the farm into a resort that integrates amusement parks, sports fields, zoos, movie theaters, etc., and named it Neverland, named after "Peter Pan" in Neverland.

However, unlike the resort, it is not open to the public and only Michael Jackson's friends and children are welcome.

"At any other time, there would be a lot of kids playing here, from Santa Barbara, from other places, from all over the country."

"Neverland would have been filled with laughter and laughter when the children played here, but that's gone now."

Driving a sightseeing car, MJ took Eric and the three of them around the manor, and he couldn't help but sigh when he talked about it.

"Don't be discouraged. Everything is temporary. I believe it won't be long before Neverland will welcome laughter again."

Maikou smiled: "I hope so."

Gadot actually didn't know MJ and had heard of his songs, but when Gadot grew up, MJ's peak was past and the market was gradually occupied by latecomers.

But it doesn't matter, wherever Eric stands, she stands.

She said angrily: "Those media are really hateful, especially that Martin Bascher, this guy is a bastard."

Maikou sighed: "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I don't think I will accept interviews or documentaries again in the future. There will always be people with malicious intentions in their hearts, but you can't detect it at all."

After hesitating for a moment, Eric finally reminded him: "McKen, it's not just the media, it's also Gavin Arvizo and his family. According to recent media reports, the whereabouts of this family are very problematic."

"Especially Gavin Arvizo's mother, Janet, she seemed to be plotting famously bad things, things that could be bad for you."

Speaking of the boy's family, Maiqun's expression became obviously bad, but he still managed to say: "It shouldn't be like that. Maybe she just wanted to protect Gavin. I have met their family and they are all very good people."

"But you have to know that not everyone is the same, and good people can turn bad under certain conditions, especially when vital interests are involved."

"Mykko, let me ask you a question, will you continue to support Gavin Arvizo? I heard that you not only paid for his medical expenses, but also improved their family's life, but will you continue to do this? ?”

"I mean until Gavin Arvizo's parents die of old age, would you?"

Although MJ is kind, he is not a fool. Especially after the backstabbing in 1993, he realized how big a piece of fat he was in the eyes of some people, and one bite was worth a sky-high price of 20 million US dollars.

Seeing that MJ's face turned not so good, Eric continued: "Michael, there is something else I want to tell you. According to what I know, Janet Arvizo has multiple criminal records and she is a habitual offender."

"I'm not saying that people who make mistakes will never change, but when dealing with such people, you must learn to protect yourself."

“Don’t bet on other people’s character with your own kindness!”

Like a bolt from the blue, these words penetrated directly into Michael's heart like a sword.

His face became even more ugly. At this time, the car drove to the zoo. Michael looked at Elizabeth: "Want to go in? I have animals from all over the world here, some of which are rare."

Elizabeth nodded. Even though she had been to many interesting places, the splendor of Neverland still made her feel shocked and novel.

The two happily walked into the zoo, and Eric and Gadot followed.

"Wow, there are actually penguins here!" Elizabeth looked at the group of cute little things in front of her in surprise.

"These are not Antarctic penguins, they are tropical penguins. I brought them from Isabela Island. They are called Galapagos penguins." Maikou explained.

Not to mention Elizabeth, even Gadot was surprised to hear that penguins can still live in the tropics.

"Can I touch these little guys?" Elizabeth asked excitedly.

Maikou waved his hand hurriedly: "That's not okay. Although they are cute, these little guys can bite people. I was once bitten on the hand, and it really hurt."

"What a pity."

After visiting the zoo, a few people came to the amusement park.

Elizabeth pointed to the roller coaster: "It looks so beautiful, much more elegant than those outside. Can I ride this?"

Maikou shrugged: "No problem, but for my age, the roller coaster is a bit too exciting. I can't participate in this project."

Eric looked at Mike. Although this man did not look old, he was actually in his forties.

Eric really couldn't understand how a man in his forties could maintain his childlike innocence. Maybe some people were just that pure.

Looking at him, Eric felt a bit like the old naughty boy in Legend of the Condor Heroes, but he was not as noisy as the old naughty boy. He was more responsible.

In the end, Eric was pulled onto the roller coaster by Elizabeth. Gadot said that he had a psychological shadow on this thing and that after riding it once before, he never wanted to try it again.

The two sat in the front row, safety gear locked.

Suddenly, Eric felt his hand being grabbed and looked at Omei.

Little Elizabeth took a deep breath: "This way we won't be nervous!"

"Are you afraid?"

"Kind of."

"Then you are still playing?" Eric was speechless.

"I want to try it."

The roller coaster started slowly, and after quietly looking at Eric's face, Elizabeth felt a burst of joy in her heart: "Only in this way can I hold your hand!"

ah

The screams of the two men echoed throughout Neverland.

After a day of crazy play, the four of them felt a little tired, and even little Elizabeth had no energy.

At the dining table, Michael brought a soup basin with steaming beef stew in it.

He said a little shyly: "My cooking skills are average. If it doesn't taste good, I will eat other foods. Those were cooked by Ovid. He is a professional chef."

The three of them smiled. The food prepared by Michael Jackson himself was more than just delicious.

Eric had seen photos of McQueen cooking for the Beatles on the Internet before, but he never thought that this day would happen to him.

Picking up a piece of beef and putting it into his mouth, the aroma immediately spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

After playing for a day, everyone was hungry. More importantly, this kind of play brought the four people closer to each other instantly, so Gadot and little Elizabeth didn't have any ladylike scruples and just opened their mouths to eat.

Seeing the three of them eating happily, Maiqun also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Neverland had not had guests for several months, and at this moment he no longer felt alone.

After dinner, the four of them were sitting or lying on the floor. Videos of MJ's previous concerts were playing on the TV.

Mike came over with drinks to share with everyone, and Elizabeth suddenly asked: "McKnow, why don't you release an album?"

"My last album was released in 2001. You may not know that it takes a long time to make an album.

"It often takes more than two years. I am indeed preparing for the next album, but it will be a long time before it is released."

Elizabeth was a little surprised: "It actually took two years! My sister also makes records. I feel that their production process is very easy and very fast."

Eric patted Omei's little head: "Your sister's records are specially designed for children and teenagers. They are completely different from the difficulty level of Maikou."

"McKen's albums have sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide. It would be a miracle if Ashley and Mary's records could sell 10 million copies."

Seeing Omei puffing up her cheeks, MJ consoled her and said, "I like children's songs very much. Elizabeth, next time you come here, can you bring me one of your sister's records?"

"Of course!" Elizabeth agreed while glaring at Eric.

Eric spread his hands: "Okay, I said something wrong, but Maikou, it does take a long time to release an album, but why not release a single? A single should be simpler."

Maikou shook his head slightly: "You can't think of it this way. Although the production time for a single is shorter, the requirements are higher. One or two title songs in an album are enough, but a single must generally be the title song, so if If there are no good songs, it’s better not to release them!”

"That's right, I have a song here, you can listen to it."

"You can also write songs?" MJ looked at Eric in surprise.

"No, I haven't studied music theory, I just hum to myself."

"It doesn't matter. Many songs start with humming. Just sing one."

When it comes to music, Maiqun becomes visibly excited.

"Sing one, sing one, I haven't heard you sing yet, Eric."

Gadot and Elizabeth also cheered.

Snapped!

Maikou snapped his fingers: "Xidi, turn on the device."

A black aunt came next door, pressed a button on the wall, turned on the home theater, and then brought Eric a microphone.

After coughing a few times, Eric hummed a few more times to find out the feeling, which made Elizabeth giggle non-stop.

Although he was not a singer before time travel and had little research on English songs, he still knew a few songs that were popular in the industry and became famous all over the world because he often sang karaoke with female actors.

Today's song was specially selected by Eric for MJ, Adele's representative song - "rolling in the deep".

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

Finally I can see you crystal clear

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I leave with every piece of you

Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

We could have had it all

Rolling in the Deep

Your had my heart Inside of your hand

And you played it To the beat

When it comes to singing, you may be shy on the first line and still shy on the second line, but by the time you sing the tenth line, you will be more and more open-minded.

Even though it was just singing a cappella without accompaniment, Adele's voice was already echoing in Eric's mind.

It wasn't until the climax came that he suddenly realized that this body had no singing talent at all. It couldn't hit the high notes at all, so he could only sing with difficulty while holding his neck.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Gadot and Elizabeth couldn't help laughing. They had never seen Eric look so funny and embarrassed. Even the black aunt next to him patted his thigh and laughed.

Eric spread his hands, meaning that this is my level.

But what was different from others was that MJ's eyes were already shining brightly, and he was looking at Eric as if he were looking at a treasure.

"Don't stop, keep on Eric, keep on, don't worry about the singing, just keep on singing."

As he spoke, he stood up from the floor, snapping his fingers and twisting his body slightly.

Encouraged by Maikou, Eric also twisted his body, opened his mouth and continued singing.

Baby I have no story to be told

But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn

Think of me in the depths of your despair

Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind you of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

We could have had it all

Rolling in the Deep

Your had my heart inside of your hand

And you played it

To the beat

But you played it

You played it

You played it

You played it to the beat

As the last note fell, Eric looked at McQueen, as for Gadot and Elizabeth.

Well, the two of them were still laughing.

"Mykko, what do you think of this song?"

Michael seemed to still be immersed in the melody. After only listening to Eric sing it once, he was able to hum a part of the melody softly.

After a while, an increasingly fiery smile appeared on Maikou's face.

"Eric, is it really you who sang this song in your spare time?"

Eric nodded shamelessly.

"Oh my god! You are simply a genius. Although your singing skills are poor, it does not affect the excellence of the music and lyrics."

""Rolling in the deep" has a very new era feel in terms of style and tone."

"If the arrangement is completed and a suitable singer is chosen to sing it, I'm pretty sure it will top the Billboard charts!"

"Bulletin Board, are you sure?"

“I’m pretty sure, I’ve seen so many artists and listened to so many songs, I’m pretty sure some songs are destined to be huge just by being out there.”

Eric nodded. He didn't know if "Rolling in the deep" had ever topped the Billboard charts, but it was popular all over the world, so it was no problem.

Taking out a piece of paper from his pocket, Eric grabbed Maikou's hand and put it in his palm: "Then I will give you this song."

The scene was suddenly stunned. MJ looked at the piece of paper filled with lyrics, and there were all kinds of crooked lines on it.

He understood that Eric, as a layman, was marking the pitch.

"No, no, no, I can't have it. This song is too precious. It shouldn't be given as a gift."

"Eric, you should find a professional team to complete this song. Trust me, there will be many people willing to pay a high price for it."

As he spoke, MJ stuffed the paper back again.

Eric looked at him with a smile: "Maiko, are you worried about something? Because it's the first time we've met, so you don't think it's good to accept a gift?"

"But I feel that even though it's the first time we've met, we get along very well, and you take it very seriously, but in my opinion it's just a tune that I hum."

"Compared to friendship, what's a song?"

But Maikou still kept shaking his head: "Eric, you are not from the music industry. You don't understand the meaning of a good song to a singer. It is worth millions of dollars. This is too precious and I can't accept it." !”

"A few million dollars? Gadot, how much was the investment in "Transformers"?"

"$500 million."

Eric shrugged: "McKen, I think it's a piece of paper, so it's just a piece of paper. If you don't want it, just burn it."

"I have a lot of work to do and no time to care about a song. Do you want it to sink into darkness forever?"

There was a tangled look on MJ's face. As the King of Pop, his love for music runs deep into his bones.

If you don't listen, you will burn.

The problem is that he has already heard it, and the song keeps whispering in his mind like a curse. He will be heartbroken if such an excellent song is buried.

Seeing his expression, Eric grabbed the other man's hand again.

"Maikou, I believe it will truly shine in your hands!"
