Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

Jed was not a hard-core MJ fan in his previous life, but his cousin was a die-hard MJ fan. Even when MJ was "pointed out by thousands of people", his not-so-spoken cousin still frowned. Baba defended mj.Jed once bought tickets to a London concert for his cousin as a congratulatory gift for his graduation.Of course, the concert didn't take place as planned, because God couldn't wait to see it more than humans.Because of his cousin, Jed has more or less read some reports about MJ, some praise, some belittle, and of course there are many neutral reports.A psychology magazine once believed that MJ actually suffered from serious mental illness. The pressure from the secular world and his childhood misfortune made him refuse to grow up.Especially after the first child abuse case, Jed retreated to Neverland, the only pure land on earth that belonged to him, and his mental illness became more and more serious.It's a pity that the people around mj didn't know or pretended not to know, and the friends who wanted to care about him were deliberately isolated by the people around him.After the second child abuse case, MJ even lost his last pure land...Jed didn't think that MJ was the kind of person who would choose to commit suicide, but the farewell concert did exhaust all his mental energy, and some An irresponsible quack push, and finally the only king of pop on the planet died in the days approaching his 51st birthday.From Jed's point of view, maybe mj does have some mental illnesses that ordinary people don't have, but which genius artist doesn't have some eccentricities?To put it bluntly, how can the lives of geniuses be understood by ordinary people?However, Jed also believes that MJ's excessive self-closing and aggravated psychological pressure is indeed the reason for his drug abuse in the later stage. Jed thinks that the first thing to save MJ is to make him not have so much pressure.In order to choose a gift suitable for MJ, Jed went to the warehouse of Warner Bros. Pictures to dig out the Batman armor used in the filming of "Batman".Jed knew that MJ loved the "Superman" and "Batman" comics very much, and he once had a dispute with his good friend Macaulay King over who was better between "Superman" and "Batman". MJ is a supporter of Batman, and Jed thinks this gift should please him.

After preparing the gifts, Jed drove his own Cadillac to the "Dream Ranch" north of Rose Olivis in Santa Barbara County.After getting off the highway and passing through the canyon trail full of oak trees, MJ's incomparable "Dreamland" is in front of you.At this time, "Fantasy Manor" was in its heyday, and a professional team of 150 people took care of this so-called most luxurious private manor in the United States.Before Jed got close to Neverland, he could vaguely hear the music of the circus in the manor.I have read some reports in my previous life that Neverland Manor is a real fairy tale world, and the whole manor seems to be the most dreamy children's paradise on this planet.Everything you can imagine in a children's playground is here. MJ even built two children's railways just to show everyone around his estate.The most interesting thing is that MJ also set up the Neverland Fire Brigade at home. This fire brigade was really dispatched for the neighbors of Neverland Manor.Therefore, Neverland is a unique world, a paradise belonging to the children in MJ's heart who will never grow up.At the gate of the manor, after the guard verified Jed's invitation letter, he let him go.Jed drove to the train station of Neverland, and then saw MJ waiting for him in the shade of the train station.Many people laughed at MJ for wrapping himself tightly when he went out, mocking him for bleaching his skin, but who knew that he suffered from vitiligo and lupus erythematosus?He was tightly wrapped and "very pretentious" hiding under the big black umbrella because ultraviolet rays would make his disease worse, and he had to choose this way of travel.Seeing Jed's arrival, MJ felt a little at a loss.This reminded Jed of the children he knew when he was a child, and when he invited his friends to his home to play for the first time, he would be at a loss like MJ.

"Welcome to my home, Mr. Sherman." MJ greeted first, "Let's take the train to my home together!"

"Thank you very much for Mr. Jackson's invitation. I specially brought a gift. I hope you will like it." Jed asked MJ's assistant to assemble the Batman armor at the back of the car and sent it to MJ.Obviously, MJ liked this gift very much, and asked the assistant to carefully send it to his room.

MJ has spent a lot of effort on his manor, so MJ is extra confident and proud when introducing the scenery of the manor.After the little train drove for half an hour, the two finally arrived at MJ's residence - in front of a building full of Danish mythology. Mj invited Jade to discuss things in his study, and to Jed's surprise, Mj's study was also full of fairy tale style.All kinds of bright colors and fairy tale books, this is not like an ordinary study room.

"Perhaps Mr. Jackson also knows my reason for coming. I would like to invite Mr. Jackson to join my New Century Record Company." Jed said straight to the point, "Mr. Jackson will have his own label after joining, and we will basically not interfere with your creation. But we still need to check which album can be released. Of course, if you think that the album we released cannot cover all your music, you can also release your digital single or album through our online channels."

"Internet channel?" MJ looked at Jed with some doubts.

Jed actually knows that many of MJ's creations are too avant-garde and radical, and it is actually very tricky for record companies to use them to release physical records.But if you want to sell digital audio sources like itunes in the future, there is still a lot to do.And if MJ can be persuaded to come to Google Play to release digital singles, then the attraction of Google Play will be even greater in the future.In order to convince MJ, Jade also brought a concept design related to Google Play to MJ to share. After mj saw the model of the gplayer concept machine brought by jed, he was particularly interested.He was surprised: "It's a very interesting thing."

After talking a lot about the concept of the future music community, Jed has already seen that MJ is tempted. In fact, it's not just Sony Music that MJ is worried about. It is estimated that he is wary of the entire record industry.The brand-new distribution method provided by Jed gave him a glimpse of the future. MJ has never been a conservative person. Since he created the music video era, he has always been interested in music innovation.He asked: "It sounds like I have a lot of benefits, but I don't believe that there are unreasonable benefits for me in the world. I want to know, what can you get from me?"

"Fame." Jed said bluntly, "If a channel wants to become a mainstream channel, it must have a king-level person to join, and you are my best choice. And more importantly, the United TV in your hand The music library of a music publishing house."

It wouldn't be a surprise to mj that jed wanted his library, it would be weird if jed said he wasn't interested. "I want to know how to divide?"

"Pricing is determined by individuals, but we do not allow arbitrary price changes. But if there is a need for promotion, we will allow it." Jed said, "Whether you are free or charged, we only charge [-]% of the actual price paid by the user. "

MJ was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Mr. Sherman, are you ready to fight against the entire recording industry?"

"Who said we have to fight against the entire record industry?" Jed laughed, "I own two major music companies, Media Asia Music Group in Asia has integrated the entire Chinese music market, and we have a good distribution channels; Sherman Music Entertainment in the United States has also completed the acquisition of Japan's Polly Canon and Abex. At the same time, we also have Warner Music Group as a partner, Mr. Jackson, you have never been alone!"

"Mr. Sherman, my ATV Music Press and I would love to be on your record label!"

When Jed held MJ's slightly thin hand, he sighed: "Maybe I should arrange for you to go on vacation to a small island in the Pacific Ocean. I just rented a small South Pacific island from the Federated States of Micronesia." The island, where the scenery is very beautiful and sunny. The beach, coral sea and hot springs all make me linger, and I also arranged a Chinese food master and a Chinese medicine doctor there, I think you can go there to relax. "

"My new album..." Jackson is actually a workaholic. Although he released very few albums later, he created a lot of songs.It can be said that, apart from being enthusiastic about public welfare, Jackson devoted all his energy to his favorite music career.It's just that Sony Music has let him down time and time again, and it's made him more stressed.

"No, temporarily put down your work and take your closest friends to my island to rest for a month." Jed said without refusal, "Ms. Taylor has said many times that she wants to go to my private island the most." Sunbathing on the beach. Mr. Jackson, how about spending some time with your friends?"

In fact, Jackson also knew that another purpose of Jed's persuasion to leave him was that once the news that he switched to his family was exposed, the entertainment media on the entire planet would go crazy. Mj thought for a few minutes before agreeing.He only signed a few important documents with Jed, and the rest will be left to the legal teams of both parties.

The day before the Oscar nominations were announced, mj's agent announced, "Mj has officially joined the Sherman Music Entertainment Group, and he will take out all the equity of United Television Music Publishing and Sherman with his record and performance contract for the next ten years. Man Music Entertainment Group to form Michael Jackson Music Company."

When Sony was angrily looking for MJ, MJ was enjoying a rare sunny vacation on a small island in the South Pacific with Taylor and other friends.And Jade expressed the hope that if Sony had any contractual problems, they could approach Sherman Music Entertainment Group through a lawyer instead of harassing MJ.
