American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Invincible...

It was on the way to Jesse and the other girls' hearts that Mike promised them that they would always be his wings, never leaving him.

Although the girls wanted to remain reserved, their circumstances wouldn't allow it.

Despite their repeated defeats, they ultimately failed to make Michael give in.

This man seems to have no limits; he's handsome, speaks well, and most importantly, he's incredibly strong in combat.

As women, what more could Jesse and others possibly ask for?

Finally, after Mike's efforts for most of the day, all the girls, including Jessie, felt completely enlightened, both physically and spiritually.

……

Having proven himself, Mike then spent some more time with Jesse and the others before leaving the room.

When he returned to the lobby on the first floor, many of the people who had come to watch the ceremony had already left.

Only the girls from the dance troupe and a few of Mike's friends remained at the scene.

As the girls from the dance troupe gathered around again, Mike called the housekeeper to arrange accommodations for them.

As a manor, the King's Mansion naturally has an annex, which is now being used as dormitories for the girls in the dance troupe.

Of course, Mike doesn't stop people who live nearby from going back home.

After the chattering, obviously overly excited girls left one by one, the hall finally quieted down.

MJ, who witnessed Michael going up and down the stairs the whole time, quietly came to Michael's side and gave him a thumbs up.

"How's your new album doing lately?" Not wanting to talk about his personal life, Mike picked up a steak and started chatting with MJ while eating.

Now, more than a month after the release of MJ's new album, its performance has been largely finalized.

"It's not bad, but it's still a little short of five-platinum." MJ was clearly in a good mood when talking about the new album.

This album, which contains anti-war and inspirational songs, took MJ about two years to prepare, and he poured a lot of his heart and soul into it.

It also holds a lot of hope.

Unfortunately, his new album first faced competition from the new album by the "Devil Body" group, which squeezed out the market, and then it was hit by a major economic downturn.

However, a pop king is a pop king. Even with many unfavorable factors, his performances are still at a level that ordinary people can only dream of.

Compared to the Devil Body Band's new album, which only sold one million copies in more than two months, MJ's achievement of five platinum copies in just over a month is enough to make him worthy of the title of King of Pop.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that the Devil Body Band's new album "My Heart Will Go On" has seen increasingly strong sales momentum over time.

Its sales performance over the past month or so has actually surpassed that of MJ's new album, and it has the potential to challenge Diamond Records.

During this period, the girls were sent to support MJ's new album, and also had the idea of ​​continuing to promote their own new album.

Chapter 539 Business Empire

How would you describe becoming famous with just one album?

The Devil Body Group's new album "My Heart Will Go On" has been released for almost four months now, which perfectly illustrates this point.

Over the past three years, the three girls of the Devil Body Group have released two successful albums and a well-known Christmas song.

However, their popularity has remained stagnant, stuck in a position where everyone knows their names but there are no other memorable aspects to their brand.

Even their new album this year has the added boost of the movie "Titanic" and the full support of King Entertainment.

The album's initial sales were only barely acceptable, and couldn't compare to the hype surrounding MJ.

It was under these circumstances that, more than a month after the girls' new album was released, it sold out at a speed that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

In less than six months, more than seven million copies were sold, and the momentum continued.

It can be said that the Diamond Records that the three girls of the Devil Body Group never dared to dream of before are now within reach.

This also fully proves that Mike's previous guesses about the downturn in the entertainment industry were wrong.

Although the Great Depression reduced the material life of ordinary people, it could not stop people's pursuit of "art".

Or rather, the terrible environment has further stimulated people's spiritual needs.

In short, the Kings agency, which Mike didn't pay much attention to before, has now become a hot commodity.

The already incredibly popular MJ and the group with their amazing figures will not only become the "calling card" of the King Group in the future, but also the group's "money-printing machine".

Having figured everything out, Mike looked at MJ in front of him and felt even closer to him.

"Five-platinum records don't do justice to your title as the King of Pop..." Mike said, "You know how great the opening was? I'm planning to get King Records to ramp up the promotion for your album. Especially in online sales, there's a lot of potential to be tapped..."

"We will do our best to ensure that your first album after joining King's Group achieves Diamond Record status."

With the widespread use of computers and the internet, the digital age has arrived, and online albums are bound to become a trend.

Mike originally thought that the online market would take several more years to mature.

However, the sudden popularity of the Devil Body Group's new album has served as a reminder to everyone: although the online market is still in its infancy, it has immense potential.

Yes, the new album from the three members of the Devil Body Group has outsold the physical album online in the past month.

You could say that the success of Devil Body Group's new album is the culmination of years of hard work, but you can't deny the help they received from the online market.

Country Girl... Christmas Single... Metropolis... Dream Chaser...

Putting these words together instantly conjures up an inspirational story in one's mind.

This online promotion model is something I can talk to Jesse about later.

Anyway, the internet market is such a big pie, it doesn't matter who gets a piece of it.

“Diamond Records? Online sales?” MJ looked at the young boss in front of him, who seemed even more confident than he was, and suddenly felt a little insecure.

To be honest, MJ was a big star with two diamond-quality records, but he really didn't understand the emerging online market.

This is also the current situation for many companies.

Crabs are delicious, but not everyone has the courage to be the first to try them.

"Don't worry, the success of Devil Body Girls has already proven the potential of the online market. I believe your new album will do just as well online as theirs..." Mike offered encouragement without any hesitation.

Diamond Records is nothing compared to the fact that once the online market matures, there will be even more stars achieving sales in the tens of millions.

“Okay, I think I can give it a try.” MJ was eventually inspired by Mike’s confidence.

As a pop icon, how could he not want his patents to sell even better?

Next, Mike gave MJ another pep talk. By the time MJ left the King's Building, he was visibly full of fighting spirit.

As evening approached, Chris, Mr. Randy, and others came to say goodbye to Mike.

"Randy, do you have any ideas for your movie?" After seeing everyone else off, Mike kept Mr. Randy behind.

They were both from the small town of Deford, and they had a good relationship before.

Therefore, Mike was more patient with Mr. Randy.

“I have contacted many excellent directors, and they are all willing to cooperate with the King Group…” Mr. Randy replied.

He is now also a member of King's Agency, where he is responsible for film-related business.

He was only one level below Jesse in rank.

“I’m not asking about your professional skills. I’m asking if you have any ideas about making movies yourself,” Mike interrupted Mr. Randy, correcting his question.

The King Group's successful investment in "Titanic" made many directors eager to work with Michael Scofield.

Among them are renowned directors like James Cameron.

Therefore, the King Group has no shortage of partners when it comes to making movies.

Mike asked Mr. Randy because he remembered the man's dream: to make his own movie.

Now that the company has money and resources and lacks nothing, it can support Mr. Randy in realizing his dream.

“I’ve always had the idea of ​​making movies; it’s my lifelong dream,” Mr. Randy said earnestly. “But the longer I’m involved in the film industry, the harder it is for me to make a choice. I don’t even know what kind of movies I want to make…”

The "white moonlight effect" means that the closer you get, the more "timid" you become, and the more you think about it, the more hesitant you become.

“I can give you some advice…” Mike said with a smile: “Influenced by the current environment, people nowadays probably prefer to read more inspirational stories, like Rocky from more than ten years ago.”

Besides Rocky, Mike recalls that other good inspirational films such as Good Will Hunting, The Legend of 1900, Forrest Gump, and The Shawshank Redemption will be made in the following years.

It can be considered a classic created by the times.

Mr. Randy studied under director Cameron, so he shouldn't have much trouble directing himself.

If he wanted, Mike wouldn't mind contributing a good script to him.

“An inspirational film? That’s certainly a good suggestion.” Mr. Randy’s eyes flickered, as if he had an idea.

“I’ll give you a script later. If you’re interested, you can make it into a production.” Mike offered his help.

Making money? No problem.

At the same time, it can help Mr. Randy fulfill his dream, so why not?

Similarly, Mike didn't intend to miss out on the business opportunity presented by these inspirational films; he could have Mr. Randy contact the screenwriters and directors of those films later.

Physical industries, film and television industry, record industry...

In Mike's plan, his business empire will not be limited to one place; diversification is the key.

Mike was even considering bringing Collins' father, Sean Tuohy, to Apple City to develop the business.

Mr. Sean, Collins' father, is the founder of a chain of supermarkets, which is now quite well-known in Texas.

The current environment also presents an opportunity for Mr. Sean. He could easily open his chain of supermarkets in Apple City and secure the location first.

Even if we lose some money, it's okay; we can treat it as expanding the market.

After all, the Great Depression will eventually pass.

With a market, you'll only earn more in the future.

Of course, this is just Mike's initial idea, and it's hard to say whether he can persuade Mr. Sean.

Meanwhile, Mr. Randy, clearly persuaded by Mike, agreed on a date to pick up the script. Only then did the middle-aged man, with a large bald patch on his head, leave the King's Building with excitement.

Chapter 540 When Happiness Knocks on the Door

As December approaches, the weather in Apple City is getting colder and colder, looking like it's about to snow.

Now, more than half a month has passed since the King's Dance Troupe achieved its results.

This once-famous 100-member girl group had members whose looks and figures perfectly matched Mike's aesthetic.

The only pity is that not many of them are highly skilled in dancing and playing musical instruments, so Mike will probably have to wait until next year to see the full 100-person song and dance performance.

Now, most of these girls are gathered in the practice room of the annex building, learning dance and musical instruments from the professional teachers arranged by Jesse.

As for Jesse, she originally planned to personally take charge of the King's Cabaret: partly because it was her area of ​​expertise, and partly because she wanted to keep an eye on Mike to prevent him from acting recklessly.

However, with the continued popularity of the Devil Body Group and MJ's new album, Jesse now has to start planning a second round of promotion for the two new albums.

This second round of promotion will also take the online market into account.

In this situation, Jesse couldn't handle it all by herself, so she had no choice but to send her assistant, Lina, back to Mike's side to keep an eye on things.

……

At this moment, on the top floor of the King's Building, Mike was leisurely leaning back in a recliner, enjoying a tender massage from "little maid" Lina while watching the girls' awkward song and dance performance below.

Among the 100 dancers, the nine girls in front of us are the best in terms of skill level.

However, perhaps because there were too few people and the atmosphere wasn't right, these girls no longer had the same enthusiasm they had when they first came to the building.

They danced in a very rigid and formulaic way, and their expressions were all stiff.

The tension was palpable, as if they were afraid that Mike, their young boss, would be dissatisfied with them.

But the more they acted like that, the less interesting it felt to Mike.

After the song ended, the nine girls, who were still in the adjustment period, stood obediently in a row, waiting for the boss's comments.

"You danced well, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. Keep up the good work!" Mike smiled and gave his evaluation, while gesturing for the girls to leave.

It turns out that being beautiful does have certain advantages.
