Reborn Almighty Life

Looking at the splendid King of Pop Music in front of him, Gu Fei found it hard to imagine that the death of the superstar in two years would bring huge pain to fans around the world!
If it were some artists with bad records, their life and death would not have much to do with Gu Fei. After all, such people would not be of any benefit to society or mankind.
Although the European and American media have relatively negative reports on the King of Pop Music, and various scandals continue, Gu Fei believes in his own judgment. A benevolent person who is passionate about charity and has strong humanitarianism will not be what the media thinks of.
Description of the devil.
Gu Fei is more willing to use his own contacts to understand this controversial king of pop music, and also hopes to avoid some tragedies as much as possible!
While Gu Fei was chatting with Jackson, Jackson's growth experience flashed through his mind. It has to be said that the growth of a superstar is like cheating!
Michael Jackson, the seventh child of the family, made his professional music debut in 1964 as a member of the Jackson Five along with his brothers. In 1968, the band collaborated with a local record company to publish the No. 1 album
The album "Big Boy" was released. In 1969, Jackson's family moved to Los Angeles. Jackson's first single "I Want You Back" topped the charts.
In December 1971, Jackson released his first single "Got to be"
there", marking the beginning of his solo career. In December 1982, the best-selling album "Thriller" in Jackson's music career was released. In September 1987, he launched his first global tour. Through stage and video performances, Jackson popularized
Mechanical dance, moonwalk and other dance techniques. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and 26 American Music Awards in his lifetime. In his solo career, he had 13 US number one singles.
In addition to his acting career, Jackson is concerned about public welfare and charity. He has held many charity activities, visited impoverished areas, visited refugees, and donated money and materials.
In January 1985, Jackson and his friend Lionel Richie composed and performed "We Are The World" in response to the African famine.
", sung by 45 singers led by Michael. This single brought 50 million US dollars in relief to the victims. From "We Are The
World", humanitarian themes began to appear repeatedly in Jackson's works; in March, "Thriller" sold 25 million copies and was included in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "best-selling album of the year".
His handprint is on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
On February 3, 1992, the "Save the World" Foundation was established to help patients suffering from AIDS and juvenile diabetes.
In 2000, the Guinness Book of World Records certified that he has funded 39 charities and donated more than US$300 million to charities in his own name. He is the artist who has made the most donations in his own name.
"If it's convenient for you, if you have the opportunity to come to China during the Yanjing Olympics next year, I will sweep the bed to welcome you!" Gu Fei happily sent a sincere invitation to the king of pop music, and also hoped that the Chinese pop music circle could borrow the opportunity.
This opportunity will enable you to have more contact with the world's popular music circles, and ultimately have greater influence around the world!
"I will definitely go to China to watch the Olympic Games. If possible, I even hope to participate in the Olympic promotion work!" Jackson was very interested in Gu Fei's invitation. He even hoped to be more integrated into Chinese culture and learn more from it.
The power of.
Over the years, although Jackson, who became famous at a young age, has enjoyed the treatment of a superstar, many troubles have followed. The pressure from fans and the media has also made Jackson miserable!
Usually, it is very difficult for Jackson to travel, because the media and fans' pursuit and obstruction often cause many negative effects, but the media will habitually put all the blame on Jackson, leaving him speechless!
This time, it was because Wimbledon was full of superstars and Jackson was not too conspicuous among them that he dared to appear in the stands and then came to the Cayman Hotel to participate in the subsequent championship dinner.
Even so, when he entered the hotel just now, Jackson encountered a large number of fans vying for autographs and photos, which shows his huge influence!
"When Mr. Gu Fei goes to New York to attend the US Open, welcome to my 'Neverland Manor' as a guest!" Facing the friendly Gu Fei, Jackson seemed very happy and specially invited Gu Fei to visit his manor.
In 1987, Jackson spent US$19.5 million to buy a vast 2,700-acre property in Santa Barbara, California. Due to his status, Jackson could not go out at will, so he named the place after his favorite fairy tale "Peter Pan"
"Neverland" (n.d.), imitation
It was built in the form of Disneyland, adding facilities such as a zoo, an amusement park, a train station, a movie theater, and a game hall, and invited sick children and poor people to play here for free on several occasions. There are two isolation rooms in the theater in the manor for those who are currently working.
Children who are undergoing chemotherapy and have low immunity watch movies to prevent them from getting bacterial infections.
He once entertained people who participated in expensive fundraisers, as well as local students and sick children at Neverland Ranch. It is precisely because of these actions that some media reports on Jackson were biased negatively, thinking that he had a habit of '**'.
Some people also think that he is serving some dignitaries.
"It's a deal!" Naturally, Gu Fei would not refuse Jackson's invitation. He also wanted to get to know the King of Pop in depth.
You know, this superstar's influence around the world is even wider than Pele, Maradona and Jordan. His fan base spans several eras, and his words and deeds will affect many people!
In 1987, Jackson released his seventh solo album "Bad". This album occupied the top spot on the US music charts for six weeks and produced 7 best-selling works, 5 of which were championship songs, with sales of up to 22 million; in September,
Jackson began his first global tour, visiting 15 countries on four continents and performing 123 performances, attracting audiences
4.5 million people; in October of the same year, Jackson held a concert in Japan and took advantage of his free time to go to China for vacation. He visited Hong Kong as a tourist, visited Shaw Brothers Studios and Wireless Video Studio, took photos with TVB artists, and later visited
He went to Zhongshan, Guangdong, took photos with local villagers, and spent eight hours in total. This was also his only trip to mainland China in his life.
The short experience in China gave Jackson a deep and good impression of China, which was also the fundamental reason why he did not have much resistance to Gu Fei's invitation.
Over the years, through certain books and historical classics, Jackson has developed a strong interest in Chinese culture, and has also been exposed to the views of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and found that this may be an important force to solve his inner restlessness.
Originally, Jackson didn't have much thought about getting in touch with these Chinese cultures, but when Gu Fei appeared in front of people all over the world like a comet, even Jackson was very interested in the genius Gu Fei!
Although he only met Gu Fei on TV and in newspapers, Jackson could clearly feel that Gu Fei had a temperament that was completely different from that of European and American superstars. It was peaceful, elegant and contained infinite power!
If possible, Jackson also hopes that he can be like Gu Fei, who can calmly face the troubles in the world!
Gu Fei and Jackson were chatting happily in a corner of the banquet hall. The young people around them looked at Gu Fei with admiration. Even Jordan and others would cast their eyes towards this corner from time to time.
Perhaps because of his aura or personality, Michael Jackson does not seem to be an approachable person to the outside world. Although he generously donates large amounts of money and materials to various charitable foundations, he is not so approachable in private.
In the eyes of many people, Jackson is a high-ranking king who rarely interacts with ordinary people.
Gu Fei, who met Jackson for the first time, was actually able to talk and laugh with Jackson. This undoubtedly surprised many people. Many people even thought that Gu Fei was really amazing!
For this reason alone, people have raised Gu Fei's affinity to a higher level. It is not for nothing that this superstar has such a huge influence despite his short debut.
…………
Michael Jackson suffers from severe vitiligo and familial hereditary lupus erythematosus. The former caused most of his skin to lose melanin. The condition over the years has caused his skin to turn white, and he must use a lot of foundation when making up.
When Gu Fei communicated face to face with the King of Pop Music, Gu Fei clearly saw severe skin lesions under the foundation, which may be one of the fundamental reasons for the King's untimely death in the future.
The autopsy report provided by the FBI after his death also clearly mentioned that he suffered from vitiligo, with a large number of white spots and some black skin visible on his body. The latter made it difficult to repair his injuries several times, and he had to undergo several surgeries to repair his injuries.
Repair and corrective treatment.
According to media reports, Jackson used white skin transplant surgery to make himself look "white" because he hated his black heritage. This also made Jackson extremely controversial around the world!
In fact, in Gu Fei's view, the so-called controversy is purely caused by huge wealth. Western financial groups cannot see a self-made black man with a wealth of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars, and they are even less willing to see a black man speaking from a black standpoint.
Black people with huge influence all over the world!
Don't look at Jordan, Tyson, Tiger Woods and many NBA stars. They are all black and have extensive influence and huge wealth around the world. However, their influence is only limited to the sports world and cannot reach a cultural level.
Give more impact to others around the world.
In addition, these black superstars have black skin, but in their bones they are refined and self-interested white elites. This is not harmful to the white-dominated European and American societies. On the contrary, they will be confirmed by the European and American media because of their skin color.
The existence of the 'American Dream' also proves that lighthouses are real.
If it were Gu Fei in his previous life, he would never be able to understand such a twists and turns and bizarre inside story. Only by standing at a certain height, having access to more internal information, and having more independent thinking can he come up with such a conclusion.
in conclusion.
In the 1980s, MJ bought the copyright of the bankrupt ATV (APPLE Records). Mijac Music Copyright Company was founded by Michael Jackson himself. In addition to owning the copyright of all the songs in his solo career, it also owns the copyrights of "Elvis Presley",
Aretha Franklin, "The Beatles" and other song copyrights. In 1995, he merged ATV and Sony Music's publishing library to create a joint venture Sony/ATV
The music publishing company owns the song copyrights of many artists. In the following years, both parties continued to invest in acquiring more music libraries. However, there were numerous twists and turns and bloody events surrounding the copyright of these works. In 2002, the two parties fell out, until
Jackson, who was angry that Sony wanted to take away half of the song copyrights, began to encounter various legal troubles. He began to believe that some people were going to attack him because he owned the music library. He denounced racists at fan gatherings.
A black man owns the rights to a white man's song.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Jackson used this music library as a mortgage for a loan of US$200 million to maintain his expenses and make other investments. However, due to huge expenses and failed investments, Jackson was deeply in debt, and the mortgage debt for the song copyright also changed hands with many companies.
Banks and investment firms, debt and interest are spiraling higher, Jack
However, Sony's cash flow was stretched. During these years of borrowing money, Sony continued to acquire other music libraries. Since he was also a joint venturer with half of the shares, he was forced to continue to invest the same amount as Sony.
He needed a lot of money to keep his shares unchanged, which also added a heavy financial burden to him.
Jackson owed $500 million in debt when he died, but it was all paid off shortly after, because he earned a total of $1.1 billion during his career ($1.9 billion when accounting for inflation).
His pre-tax income has exceeded US$1 billion, and his total wealth after including the amount earned after his death has exceeded US$2 billion. If inflation is included, this amount will rise to nearly US$3 billion.
Surrounding the dispute over Jackson's wealth during his lifetime and after his death, it is not difficult to see that Sony and the consortium behind him adopted a desperate strategy to kill Jackson. Ironically, after Jackson, who was heavily in debt during his lifetime, died, all the debt disappeared like a bubble.
end!
After Jackson's sudden death in 2009, Wall Street, which was affected by the financial crisis, was also interested in his assets. Many investment companies frequently contacted his family and began to consider purchasing 50% of the shares of Sony ATV Music Publishing Company, an asset owned by Jackson.
.
On March 15, 2016, Sony Music announced that it had signed a legally binding memorandum of understanding with the Jackson Estate to acquire all of Jackson’s equity interests in Sony/ATV Music.
To reassure his fans, they also emphasized that the deal would not affect other music assets owned by Jackson, including his own master recordings, music videos and Mijac Music Company, which owns his own songs and his favorite
copyright of some of the works of singers and creators).
In addition, the Jackson Estate continues to retain its stake in EMI Music Publishing Company valued at $200 million. Regardless of Sony's final valuation, Jackson's shrewd investment in acquiring ATV in 1985 will provide a
He and the estate brought in a total of $1.31 billion. Since then, whatever love-hate relationship there was with Sony/ATV has come to an end.
Now Gu Fei and Jackson have had their first contact, and Gu Fei has already thought of various measures to use Jackson and Sony and other consortiums to compete head-on in the future. After all, the cultural war will be an important battlefield in the future!
China's economy continues to develop rapidly, but the influence of Chinese culture in the world is not strong. In the future, if the Chinese Empire wants to become the world's number one power, it must defeat the United States in the cultural field before it can be called a real power.
In July 1944, representatives of major Western countries established the "Bretton Woods System" at the United Nations International Monetary and Financial Conference. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade served as a supplement to the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, together with various agreements adopted by the Bretton Woods Conference.
, collectively known as the "Bretton Woods System", that is, a multilateral economic system with foreign exchange liberalization, capital liberalization and trade liberalization as its main contents, forming the core content of the capitalist group.
Through this financial system and the rapidly expanding military strength of the United States after World War II, the "American Dream" has become an important driving force for the United States to remain at the top of the world with the help of American cultural export.
Because the impression of the "American Dream" is deeply rooted in people's hearts, high-end talents from all over the world are flowing to the United States, which also makes the United States reap the talent dividends from all over the world. This is why the biggest beneficiary of the third industrial revolution is the United States!
In Japan, before the Second World War, due to the advocacy of Harold Palmer, a well-known British foreign language educator, English teaching in Japan had always been based on British English. After the war, the influence of the United States quickly changed this situation.
English has gradually become the mainstream of English teaching and use in Japan.
Some countries that originally only taught British English, such as Brazil, Chile, Turkey, Indonesia, and Algeria, have now switched to teaching American English. It is worth noting that in recent years, other Commonwealth countries, such as Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, and South Africa
, India, Singapore, Malaysia, etc. have set off the "American English learning craze".
The former Prime Minister of Singapore *** recently believed that teaching students American English will be the general trend. As a cultural export method of the United States, American English’s influence and spread involve every corner of the world. And British English is becoming like the place where it was born.
——The sun sets like the British Empire.
In addition to language, movies have also become an important part of the American dream. Americans first regarded movies as a form of artistic expression during the silent film era. Since then, movies have become an important part of the American dream for millions of people around the world.
The best entertainment provided by people. Since the silent film era, movie actors have been international celebrities. The American elements presented in Hollywood movies that are popular around the world have given teenagers around the world a better understanding of the United States.
Much yearning.
If you look carefully at American movies, you will find that many movies are actually linked to heroes and superhumanism. We like Thor's handsomeness, Spider-Man's cuteness, and the unforgettable Iron Man...
Just think about it, when you see such heroic colors in it, will you be yearning for it? After all, everyone has imagined that they are a superhero and can save the world. This coincides with American movies.
, which makes people feel a so-called admiration for American culture.
The rapid development of economy and technology has provided prerequisites for the globalization of cultural industries and has also allowed cultural homogenization to sweep the world.
This homogenization and standardization of global culture is dominated by American values and lifestyles, driven by free market interests based on consumerism, and is also under the conditions of large-scale production in the American entertainment and cultural industry.
It has penetrated into every corner of the earth. It has had a huge impact on the culture of various countries, crushing cultural diversity like a steamroller.
Whether it is advertisements, cartoons or magazines, the free and comfortable American lifestyle has a certain allure to people all over the world. The American media connects the American lifestyle with the daily lives of ordinary people in many countries around the world. It
Its further development may affect and restrict the international behavior of these countries and even the world order.
In later generations, Gu Fei witnessed the comprehensive suppression of Chinese youth by American culture, and also witnessed the tragedy of Chinese culture starting to fight back, and realized that such things cannot wait until it is urgent.
Gu Fei joined the professional tennis world just to find a suitable entry point. Gu Fei's method was very good. He achieved a breakthrough with the help of a solo project such as tennis, and also made "Universal Investment" step by step internationalization.
Later, the acquisition of Manchester United was also a useful attempt by Gu Fei to strengthen China's soft power. From the current point of view, the combination of tennis and football is still excellent for improving Gu Fei's personal influence!
Now, with the help of this championship dinner, Gu Fei has begun to establish good relationships with superstars such as Jackson and Jordan who have huge influence in the United States and even the world, which will also help Chinese culture begin to promote the world.
People present did not realize that Gu Fei, who was walking around the banquet hall with champagne in his hand, had such a grand goal in mind.
In people's eyes, Gu Fei is the focus of the entire banquet hall. No matter who he is with, he can find a suitable common topic and chat happily!
Mr. Ma Jinbei, the Chinese Empire's special envoy to the Kingdom of Britain, looked at Gu Fei's ability to deal with everyone and felt that Gu Fei was a natural diplomat! If Gu Fei serves as the Chinese Empire's special envoy to the United Nations, I am afraid that the Chinese Empire's influence around the world
There will be more friends!
However, Ma Jinbei also knew that it would be a waste for Gu Fei to just be a special envoy!
