Huayu since 1980

Chapter 584 Dream Farm

"Director Wu!"

After seeing Wu Jianye, Lauren Donner immediately went up to meet him, still wearing his crumpled suit, Wu Jianye wondered if he only had this suit!
Wu Jianye chuckled, he didn't expect this Lauren Downer to be so persevering, and said: "You are quite persevering, but I really won't sign with CAA, you have also seen the relationship between me and Phantom Entertainment, even if The agency that I want to sign with America will also consider Hera's agency first!"

Lauren Donner said seriously: "Director Wu, after I went back last night, I thought about your suggestion carefully. I am indeed a newcomer in the brokerage world with little experience, but I figured it out. This is also mine. One advantage, if you are an experienced agent, even if you sign Dao Wu, you will not devote all your thoughts and resources to you, but I am different, as long as you sign with me, you are my only one contracted director, I will use all my resources on you at that time!"

"I have made some progress, but now I have to go out for an appointment, let's talk about the future things later!" After Wu Jianye finished speaking, he was ready to get in the car.

Lauren Donner subconsciously grabbed Wu Jianye's car door, then carefully closed it, and said embarrassingly: "Then I will talk to you about my plan when Director Wu has time! "

Wu Jianye nodded noncommittally, and then said: "Let's talk about the future!" After speaking, he got in the car and left directly.

Looking at the back of Wu Jianye's car leaving, Lauren Donner looked at his watch and knew that the time was almost up, so he immediately ran in one direction.

Chinatown is a gathering place for overseas Chinese. Basically, some big overseas cities will have places like Chinatown, but the consumption here must be much lower when facing the outside.

Lauren Donner got on a bus and came to Chinatown in Los Angeles. When he walked in, he immediately felt different from the outside world. The poor cleanliness of the environment and the chaotic crowd all showed the difference between this place and the outside world. .

In fact, now, Chinatown is not only Chinese, there are also Bangzi people, Vietnamese and other Asians, but there are very few RB people here, because there is a Little Tokyo not far from Chinatown, where people gather The RB people in Los Angeles are more prosperous than Chinatown.

After Lauren Donner got off the car here, he ran to an alley. There is a community kindergarten run by Chinese here. Most of them are prepared by Chinese children here, and the fees are cheaper than those outside.

Lauren Downer's 5-year-old son, Mark Downer, is here.

After talking to the kindergarten teacher, Lauren Donner took MacDonald out of the kindergarten.

They didn't go back to their home, because Lauren Downer no longer had a home in Los Angeles. Before becoming an agent, Lauren Downer was a medical device salesman, but the company's bankruptcy also changed his life. Embarrassed, the wife who once loved him deeply left him. At the same time, he was kicked out by the landlord because he couldn't pay the rent.

Now he can only take five-year-old Macdonald to parks, subway toilets, low-cost apartments and other places to spend the night.

MacDonald took Lauren Donner's hand and asked, "Where are we staying tonight?"

Lauren Donner smiled and said, "Go to the park I went to yesterday, where the benches were more comfortable to sleep on yesterday!"

MacDonald nodded, obviously getting used to this kind of life, and asked, "Then how is the director you went to find today? Did he agree to let you sign him?"

Lauren Donner said: "I will agree!"

"All right!"

But when Donald and his son came to the park, they found that the bench where they slept last night had been taken by a homeless man, and the two father and son looked at each other helplessly.

I had to find another place to live.

At this time, Wu Jianye also came to the outskirts of Los Angeles by car. This is a small town. According to the driver's introduction, the population of this town is only over 1000!

A town with only over 1000 people is naturally impossible to be prosperous or famous, but when someone bought a 2800-acre farm here at the beginning of last year and converted it into a manor, it became famous here!

The name of the manor is Neverland, and the owner of Neverland is Michael Jackson!
After more than a year of construction, Dream Manor is finally completed. It is worthy of the word "Dream", with private sports ground, playground, artificial lake, cinema, and zoo.

An English-style garden dotted with bronze statues of children playing.

A five-acre man-made lake with waterfalls and swan-shaped boats.

Inside the outbuildings are a cinema, dance studio and games room.

There is also a study room with a huge collection of books.The estate also features gazebos, ornate street lights, lawns, flower beds, tree houses and an Indian-style village.

There are Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, bumper cars, trampoline and other facilities in the playground of Menghua Manor.

There is enough play equipment for a state carnival.

A go-kart track, two separate train tracks and two trains, the tracks are big enough to run an old steam train on.

One of the trains is a small train for children that runs on tracks around the main building, and the other is a refreshed steam locomotive that not only has its own track but also its own platform.

Wu Jianye's car drove slowly into the manor, and the butler of Dream Manor was already waiting there in the parking lot.

"Director Wu, hello, Mr. Michael is already waiting for you in the living room!"

Wu Jianye came to the living room with the butler of Neverland, and saw Michael Jackson sitting by the piano in the living room, playing a piece of music, which Wu Jianye was also very familiar with.

One summer's day!

Wu Jianye didn't bother Michael Jackson either, he didn't applaud until he finished playing the song.

Michael Jackson stood up and hugged Wu Jianye: "Wu, welcome to Neverland!"

Michael Jackson had been busy with his BAD world tour before. After returning to Los Angeles, he heard the news that Wu Jianye came to Los Angeles, so he called Wu Jianye last night and invited him to come over.

The friendship between the two began in 85. It was a kind of sympathy, and there were occasional phone calls, especially when Michael Jackson held the BAD world tour concert, he would often call Wu Jianye to invite him to do The guest of my own concert, but because Wu Jianye has been in a very busy state, so it has not been possible.

"Thank you, I haven't congratulated Michael on the success of your concert tour!" Wu Jianye congratulated.

BAD全球巡回演唱会从1987年9月12日就开始了，结束于1989年1月27日。

The performance venues include the United States, Europe, RB and Australia, a total of 15 countries, 440 million fans attended the venue, and the total revenue reached 1.25 million US dollars.

This was Michael Jackson's first and most successful tour.

Michael Jackson said dissatisfiedly: "Speaking of this matter, Wu, you still owe me a guest!"

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "There will be opportunities in the future!"

The two were sitting in the living room. Michael Jackson asked his servants to prepare dinner, and then said: "Wu, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in the piano. I heard "one summer's day" which has become popular in Europe and the United States two days ago. It is also your masterpiece. , I like this song very much!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I'm just doing it on a whim!"

The two chatted for a while, and the dinner at Neverland was ready. Wu Jianye and Michael Jackson came to the table.

"Wu, I heard you're in some trouble in Hollywood this time!" Michael Jackson asked.

Wu Jianye smiled: "It's not a trouble, it's just a small problem, it's easy to solve!"

Michael Jackson nodded. Seeing what Wu Jianye said, he didn't ask further. Since Wu Jianye said so, he believed that Wu Jianye could complete it.

This is different from the trust of Yan Wen, Zhou Tao, Zhao Lei and others. They understand Wu Jianye's ability and personal feelings in the process of getting along with Wu Jianye, and trust Wu Jianye unconditionally.

But Michael Jackson believed that Wu Jianye was the same type of person as himself, and he could hit him without any difficulty!
"I really don't understand why you are so passionate about movies. In my opinion, you are more talented in music!" Michael Jackson said.

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "I really think that my talent in movies is better, and I also like movies more. A movie is a world. Don't you feel the feeling of creating the world and controlling the world?" Is it great?"

Michael Jackson pondered for a moment, then laughed: "That's true, but the resistance of the film is also greater. I listened to the album you created for your girlfriend in Hong Kong before, and it's very good!"

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Michael Jackson to know Zhou Huimin's album: "I didn't expect you to pay attention to Xiangjiang's music!"

"What I pay attention to is not Xiangjiang's music, but your music." Then Michael Jackson said with a smile: "Whenever we have time, the two of us must cooperate!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "I also hope to have such an opportunity!"

Being able to cooperate with Michael Jackson, Wu Jianye is naturally very willing. As one of the few singers in the history of the world music scene that Wu Jianye can appreciate, Michael Jackson is undoubtedly the most shining star among them.

Otherwise, Wu Jianye would not be friends with Michael Jackson.

It's just that now Wu Jianye really can't think of any songs that are too suitable for Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson brought Wu Jianye to his music room excitedly, and said, "Let's play first, and maybe some casual songs will come out!"

Wu Jianye came to Michael Jackson's music room, only to find that it is much better than the music room he made in Yanjing and Xiangjiang. It's not that the equipment here is better than Wu Jianye's cash, mainly because of the equipment. The collocation and the decoration of the music room give people a feeling of wandering in the ocean of music and the temperature of music.

Unlike Wu Jianye's music room, he set up a music room purely for his own fun, and he was busy every year hitting the back of his head, so he didn't stay in the music room for a long time, so Wu Jianye's The music room has more of a chill feel to it.

Michael Jackson smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Wu Jianye gave a thumbs up, sat in front of the drum set, and beat the drums, which made Michael Jackson shake his head again and again.

"Wu, I really don't know how you create music, you are really good at playing musical instruments"

Wu Jianye said with a sneer: "I am purely for my own entertainment!"

As for his level of playing musical instruments, Wu Jianye knows his own affairs, at best he can only be regarded as good at playing, but compared with top musicians like Michael Jackson, he must be several levels behind!

Michael Jackson picked up a guitar, put it on his body, and said with a smile: "When I was making the "BAD" album before, Quincy Jones once told me that I should add some hip-hop elements to my songs, but which one At that time, I thought that rap music had no lasting vitality, so I rejected his proposal. In the past few years, I have been looking for more cutting-edge music, and gradually discovered that rap music actually has his characteristics!"

Speaking of which, Michael Jackson plucked the strings, and a brisk rhythm came out.

After listening to it for a while, Wu Jianye felt that the melody was familiar, a bit like the prelude to Michael Jackson's classic song "black or white" in 93.

But it always feels a little different from the melody I'm familiar with.

Wu Jianye also played the drums along with Michael Jackson's melody.

The eyes of Michael Jackson who was playing the guitar brightened. Wu Jianye actually didn't know that the song "black or white" had actually been circulated in various versions at the earliest time, when Michael Jackson produced the album "BAD".

It's just that Michael Jackson has never found the version he likes, and now it's only when he was talking about rap music with Wu Jianye that he remembered this song and played it easily.

What he didn't expect was that Wu Jianye could match him perfectly. At the same time, he could also feel that the drum music played by Wu Jianye was more impressive than the version he played.

The two of them slowly changed from the ensemble to Michael Jackson who stopped his performance and listened carefully to Wu Jianye's beating. At this time, he was even more sure that his idea was correct. Any previous version is different, and Michael Jackson can be sure that this version is more perfect than any previous version.

Wu Jianye was also immersed in his own memory at this time, and the drumbeat of "black or white" was played little by little.

"Haha, it's great, Wu, I knew your talent in music." After Wu Jianye finished playing the drums, Michael Jackson couldn't help it anymore, and said excitedly: "Wu, this song can sell! give to me?"
