America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 132 Squirting!

MGM Tower, Charlie Cooper's office.

Eric walked to the door and paused.

"Dad, there is one more thing I want to ask you to do. Facebook will be online in a few days. I want to do celebrity marketing."

"Can you persuade familiar celebrities to help, open an account and try to post an update or something to attract a wave of traffic to the website."

Charlie Cooper did not participate in the meeting with technology a few days ago. As a middle-aged and elderly person in his late 50s, he still does not understand the use of Facebook.

But he still nodded in agreement: "No problem, the people I know well will ask them, but it's just a show. Don't expect them to clock in and post updates like they do at work."

Eric chuckled and said, "Dad, new things have to go through a familiarization process. When these people realize the role of social media in increasing their fame and exposure, they will be more active than clocking in."

"Is Facebook really so magical?" Charlie Cooper couldn't believe it at all.

"Let's wait and see. Anyway, the result will be announced soon. In addition, there will be more investment there. US$10 million won't last long. I want to allocate another amount of money."

"How much do you need?"

"The accounts for the second quarter are coming soon. I plan to transfer 20 million US dollars first, but to be honest, I'm not sure whether this money can last until the end of the year."

Hearing this, my father frowned, sighed and said, "Eric, are these three Internet platforms you are working on really capable?"

Halfway through his words, he waved his hand again: "Forget it, go ahead and do it. Anyway, we have already started. We will see the effect after Facebook goes online."

I know that my father is a little reluctant, mainly because he is facing a bottomless pit with an uncertain future. Who can willingly keep throwing money into it!

Zuckerberg's first round of angel investment back then was only US$500,000. Comparatively, you can see how big Eric was playing.

Back downstairs, outside the office, in Chen Xing's workshop, he was chatting with a woman.

When he saw Eric coming back, he immediately stood up and said, "Ms. Jones, this is my boss, your employer."

Eric looked at each other and said, "Come in and chat."

Chen Xing brought in the coffee he had just brewed, while Eric looked at the woman in front of him.

Dan Jones, a woman in her thirties, works as a private detective.

Some time ago, Eric asked his father if he knew of a better private detective, and his father recommended her.

It is said that he is very famous in the private detective circle and is the top in Los Angeles. He has helped many wealthy people solve problems.

The woman is tall, has a pretty face, and a good figure. It can be seen that she is well maintained.

And judging from the exposed forearms, the muscle lines are very obvious, which is a bit like Judy. She is probably a regular fitness owner.

After all, by virtue of being a woman, she is able to become famous in the private detective circle. The other party definitely has two skills. Force and appearance coexist, and she can use whichever method is needed.

Finding Eric staring at him, Dan Jones smiled: "When every employer sees me, he behaves similarly to you, but when they get what they want, they will change their gaze. Become respected.”

"Sorry ma'am, I was abrupt."

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it. It's inherently more difficult for women in this circle."

"Please take a seat."

Dan Jones pulled up the chair and sat down, lifted his hair and crossed his legs, looking at Eric with a smile: "I know that rich people like you have precious time, so don't waste it, let's start quickly."

Eric nodded slightly, he liked this decisive and resolute way of doing things.

"Okay, let's get straight to the point. Do you know about Michael Jackson's child molestation case?"

"Of course I know. This is a hot topic. I'm afraid no one in the United States doesn't know about it. I remember that you are on Jackson's side. It was reported in the newspaper, right?"

"Ms. Jones, you remember very well that this is what I want you to investigate. Your targets are Gavin Arvizo and his mother Janet Arvizo, mainly the latter."

"I've heard that Janet Arvizo is a repeat offender, so it would be best to get her past criminal record and then just keep an eye on her behavior with her lawyers, and it would be great if you could get evidence like recordings."

Dan Jones narrowed his eyes slightly: "Boss, this is not an easy job. It may not be difficult to get Janet Arvizo's criminal records, but the recording is not."

"I understand. If it was easy, I wouldn't find you. Your fame and strength made me make this choice."

Dan Jones clicked his tongue: "Then you should also know that my fees are not cheap, especially for such a difficult job."

"Make a price."

"This amount, no counteroffer!" Dan Jones stretched out a hand and spread his fingers.

"No problem, I can pay an extra 10% deposit, but you still have to investigate one more thing for me."

Dan Jones chuckled and said: "Boss, that's not how business works. If you do more things, you have to pay more for each thing. This is the rule."

"No, it can be said to be two things, but it can also be said to be one thing."

"What do you mean?" Dan Jones asked strangely.

"I said it was investigating Michael Jackson's child molestation case. This is the second case this year, but don't forget that 1993 was the first case. The lawyers and psychiatrists Janet found this time were the same two people from 1993. I want you to also get the evidence that they framed Jackson in 1993."

After thinking for a moment, Dan Jones hesitated: "Will they still retain the evidence from 10 years ago? Are you sure? I can't investigate things that don't exist.

"Ms. Jones, you must know that this is a big case involving a big star. Jackson originally paid a full US$23 million in compensation. Think about how much money this is."

"For such a big thing, let alone 10 years, even 50 years later, the evidence from that year will definitely be retained. After all, no one knows whether it will be used in the future."

"There is also this guy Evan Chandler. He was the biggest beneficiary of the 1993 incident. I found out that he is a dentist whose business license has been revoked and is now living in a miserable state."

Dan Jones shook his head: "It is too difficult to investigate a case that is more than 10 years old. And how can you be sure that Michael Jackson must have been framed? I am not a fan of his, but what if it is true?"

"No, there is no such thing as a contingency, Jackson must have been wronged!"

"Mr. Cooper, why are you so sure?"

Eric looked at the other party carefully and looked at the slightly raised corners of Dan Jones's mouth. He said calmly: "There is no point in arguing about this issue. When the evidence comes out, the truth will naturally come out."

"Well, if you can find evidence of the case from the three of them, I am willing to pay another bonus."

Dan Jones patted the table gently and stood up, stretched out his hand and said: "Deal!"

"Ms. Jones, Jackson's case is about to go to trial. I hope you can complete the investigation as soon as possible."

"Mr. Cooper, the fact that you can find me shows that you believe in my strength. People outside the circle may not know that private detectives do not work alone. I have dozens of people under my command."

After sending Dan Jones away, we can only wait for the news and do our best to accept fate.

After dealing with the company's affairs, he spoke to his father again and told Chen Xing not to disturb him in the past few days if it was not something urgent. Eric went home directly.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the company door, a familiar scene happened again. Now, as long as there is news about MJ, reporters will definitely come to cover him.

Anyway, everyone in the United States now knows that Eric is a die-hard supporter of McQueen. The ruffian Eminem has already disgusted people, so they don't believe that he won't fight back.

Not to mention it was him. As soon as Eminem's new song was released yesterday, Bo Bao was the first to criticize it and mocked him severely.

Twisting his somewhat stiff neck slightly, Eric stood still and looked at the media surrounding him. His grandmother actually had Pravda.

"Mr. Cooper, have you listened to Emmy's new song "Just Lost It"? What do you think of this song?"

"Mr. Cooper, please review "Just Lost It". Everyone wants to know your opinion."

Other reporters wanted to ask questions, but were interrupted by Eric raising his hand.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to ask, I know your intentions, and I have been prepared for the interview."

"You can report everything I say below as it is, and it doesn't matter if you want to expand on it. I won't sue anyone this time."

After hearing his speech, the reporters' eyes lit up. It seemed that this person was going to start firing today.

"Emmy, well let's call him by his real name, Ruffian Eminem, or more appropriately, Mad Dog Eminem."

"Why do I say he is a mad dog? Because obedient dogs are friendly, but mad dogs bite people randomly."

"MJ's case is obviously a false accusation. We should all wait for the court's decision. However, Eminem took the opportunity to hype up this matter and release a new song. His purpose is very clear, which is to use MJ's fame to attract attention and sell more albums."

"But even if the sales of his singles and subsequent albums increase, the credit should still go to MJ. What does it have to do with Eminem?"

"He is nothing more than a mad dog that bites people, and a poor child who always uses his tragic childhood experience as a way to show off and talk about."

"He always talks about how rotten my family of origin is and how bad my mother is to me, so I just want to scold those people!"

"I don't know whether Eminem's experiences are true or false. After all, they are all his words from beginning to end."

"But if what he said is true, and I mean if, then shouldn't Eminem understand MJ more?"

"The whole world knows that MJ had an unfortunate childhood, living in poverty and being homeless. Michael's boxer father often beat and scolded the child, and even hit Michael on the head with an electric iron."

"And what does Maikou do? The world kisses me with pain, but I respond with songs!"

"Does Eminem know how many charitable organizations Michael has established? Does Eminem know how much money he has donated to children's charity?"

"Does Eminem know that he is the ambassador of the United Nations? Does Eminem know that he is the only singer Eminem nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?"

"Eminem doesn't know anything, he's just an immature, troubled teenager who paints himself as a victim of misery."

"Apart from writing songs and swearing at people, and wielding a chainsaw to teach children bad things, has he really done anything useful for the children? As far as I know, he has never donated even a dime."

"One is a mad dog who can only talk and sensationalize, and the other is a real giant who silently endured donations of more than 300 million US dollars. The public should know who is right and who is wrong."

Eric's barrage of scoldings can be said to have brought the reporters on the scene to intracranial climax, and the news was about to come.

Of course Bo Bao also scolded, but his words were far less intense than Eric's, and his words were relatively restrained. He did not directly call Eminem a mad dog.

But some people still find it unsatisfactory. A reporter from Pravda asked again: "Mr. Cooper, Emmy is a rapper, and diss culture is a way of rap. Many people think that Eminem's method is not inappropriate, but I just expressed my opinion.”

Eric glared at the other person: "Really? Do you think this is just expressing opinions? Do you think diss culture can be used as an excuse?"

"Then let's go back to the roots and say that rap belongs to hip-hop culture. Am I right?"

The reporters present nodded.

"So what is the spirit of hip-hop culture? It is authenticity, courage, spontaneity, freedom and ease, uncompromising, and being yourself!"

"If you only look at these, Eminem seems to fit the bill, but don't forget that this is only part of the core of hip-hop spirit. The other part advocates respect, love and peace. Don't you know the word respect?"

"Eminem took half of the core and packaged it for himself to make himself look like a rapper. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to use it as a cover so he could hide behind to vent his emotions and insult others."

"Such a person doesn't deserve to be a rapper at all. I even wonder if he is racist. Go back to his underground!"

After speaking, Eric motioned for reporters to get out of the way. This time no one blocked him. When he walked to the car door, Eric suddenly turned back and said.

"I'll say one more thing, and you can use it as a title."

"The longer I stay in contact with people, the more I like dogs. Dogs are always dogs, and sometimes people are really not people!"

The car went all the way back to Beverly Hills, and Eric changed his clothes. He told his mother to just bring him meals on time every day. Then he went up to the second floor and locked the door behind Joshua's strange eyes, then shut himself in the room.

Turn on the computer, create a new script document, and enter the drama title "House of Cards".

If you want to start this project in a short time, you must do it yourself and write a detailed script yourself, so as to minimize the preparation and shooting time.

He had read the original novel House of Cards a long time ago. He read it in Chinese before traveling through time, and read it in English after traveling through time.

He has carefully studied the TV series directed by David Fincher and watched it several times. He even watched the British version of "House of Cards" when he had nothing to do.

After comparison, I found that maybe the times are different and the tastes of the audience are also different.

The male protagonist in the British drama is more reserved and calm, and he is also older.

The male protagonists of American dramas are more domineering and sinister, and tend to be younger in age.

Although both works are political thrillers, they certainly cannot be viewed as real events. They must have added a lot of dramatic conflicts and artistic processing.

In this regard, British dramas are probably limited by their length and age, especially the endings are rushed, while American dramas are relatively better.

Finally, there is the hero's unique way of breaking the fourth wall to communicate with the audience. Britain and the United States have the same origin in this aspect. Eric also feels that this is indeed a major feature and should be retained.

After brewing for a while, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and then tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard.

"Come on!"

Thanks to Lao Ma for the 500-coin reward.

Thanks to Chen Lingyi for the 5,000-coin reward.

Thank you two bosses.
