    Chapter 367: The Job-hopping Incident That Sensed the World "Godzilla" is actually a pretty good movie.  .But this time it is undoubtedly a tragedy.  In fact, if this film had appeared a few years later, or if it had been produced by another film company, it might not be so tragic.  At a time when Columbia Pictures had just been acquired by the Japanese, which hurt Americans' self-esteem, this film had a Japanese imprint, but was produced by Columbia Pictures. It was difficult not to arouse the resentment of Americans.  Of course, the most important reason is that he met Zhang Yi.  Zhang Yi definitely played a crucial role in bringing Bangzi to Colombia.  Zhang Yi¡¯s sniping in movies is just one aspect.  The most important thing is that Zhang Yi used ** to make Americans who were already unwelcome to the Japanese and the current Columbia Film Company even more unwelcome to them.  In the first week, the main reason why "Godzilla" had such a high box office was that he invested a lot of money in promotion.  But compared with "Reading Day" produced by Jiying Film Company, it is simply miserable.  The investment in "Reading Day" is smaller than that of "Godzilla", and the promotion fee is even more pitiful. However, the box office of such a movie is more than double that of "Godzilla".  If the first week of "Godzilla" was called too horrible to watch, then the second week has simply risen to the level of "too bad to watch"!  "Reading Day" continued to be popular in its second week, once again taking the top spot at the box office with a box office of nearly 100 million U.S. dollars. It also shocked the attention of countless people, including Zhang Yi, who was already in Hong Kong. Hearing this box office, he was stunned.  shock.  However, it¡¯s understandable when you think about the film¡¯s global box office gross of more than 800 million US dollars in its previous life.  This is a blockbuster movie that is directly on par with "Jurassic Park".  North American box office definitely accounts for half of the global box office.  "Godzilla" by Columbia Pictures only took less than 20 million at the box office. The gap almost made Columbia executives vomit blood.     Of course, this is something.  After Zhang Yi attended the premiere of "Reading the Day", he did not return to Hong Kong immediately, but was waiting for news from Bali Diler.  As for media reports, Zhang Yi did not pay attention.  In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before "Yu Li Yue" surpassed "Godzilla".  The time, place, people and people are favorable, and there is no place where "Du Li Yue" does not have an advantage.  If a film like this fails, then no matter it is Zhang Yi or Bali Diller, then stop being in the film and television industry.  The only thing Zhang Yi is not sure about is how successful this film will be.  "He has agreed to meet you. But are you sure you want to poach him? He has equity in Sony Records. And the share is quite large." Balidile said to Zhang Yi.  "What Sony Records can give him, I, Zhang Yi, can give him. But what I, Zhang Yi, can give him, Sony Records can't give him." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Besides, if he turns around to Rolling Stone Records, Rolling Stone Records  It will also open up the situation randomly in Europe and the United States. "In addition to bringing Michael Jackson under his banner, Zhang Yi can't stand some of the things Sony did to Michael Jackson.  However, the most important thing is because Michael turned to Rolling Stone, which will definitely quickly open up in Europe and the United States and other places.  Michael¡¯s influence in the music scene is absolutely unparalleled.  "Whether it can be successful or not depends on whether what you can give and what Sony can't give can impress him, or whether it is what he wants. However, as you said, he has great influence.  If we switch to Rolling Stone Records, it will be of great benefit to the development of Rolling Stone Records around the world," Bali Diller said immediately.  Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Although I'm not very good at words, I believe I can still persuade him." Balidile didn't say anything else.  The place where Zhang Yi met Michael Jackson was quite special, in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Los Angeles.  "Hello, Mr. Jackson. Please take a seat." Zhang Yi said to Michael Jackson with a smile and pointed to the seat opposite.  "Thank you!" Jackson nodded politely, but his eyes glanced at Zhang Yi opposite him from time to time.  Obviously, he is extremely interested in the Chinese opposite him who is eight years younger than him but has already become a sensation in the world.  Zhang Yi is a legend, and there are not a few people who are curious about him.  Among them was Michael Jackson.  He even knew that Zhang Yi not only made extraordinary achievements in movies, but also in music.  He is the holder of Southeast Asia's record.  Although he no longer plays music.  But he still left a legend in the music world.  ¡°Moreover, Michael Jackson also listened to the songs written by Zhang Yi and got a lot of inspiration.  ??Curious about Zhang Yi, admired Zhang Yi and other emotions, these are the reasons why Michael accepted Zhang Yi's invitation.  "I don'tI don¡¯t know if Mr. Michael is good at Chinese food, so I took the liberty of inviting you here. Please don¡¯t mind.  "Zhang Yi smiled and said. "Chinese food is very good.  "Michael Jackson said with a smile. "Then I don't have to worry.  Zhang Yi smiled, then glanced at Lin Xiao behind him, and then said to Michael, "Although this is the United States, it is in Chinatown. Mr. Jackson just followed the locals, and we talked while eating."  " Michael looked at Zhang Yi, didn't say anything, and just nodded. He naturally knew that Zhang Yi invited him, and it wouldn't be as simple as a meal. There must be something else. "Has Mr. Jackson been to China?  I'm referring to mainland China.  "Zhang Yi asked casually. "No, I have watched the movie "The Myth" directed by Mr. Zhang. I am very yearning for the Great Wall in it and want to step up to see it.  "Michael said. The tone revealed in his words was not polite, but really outgoing. "That would be a pity.  Three years ago, Mr. Jackson held a world tour concert, but it was not held in mainland China. It was undoubtedly a pity.  After all, it is the most populous country in the world.  "Zhang Yi shook his head and said. "It's a bit regretful.  I also really want to go to China to hold a concert, but unfortunately it can't happen.  "Michael shook his head and said. "If Mr. Jackson wants, I can definitely help.  "Zhang Yi smiled and said. "Mr. Zhang invited me here this time. Isn't he just inviting me to hold a concert in China?  "Michael looked at Zhang Yi and said immediately. "No.  When I invite you this time, I invite you to come to my record company.  What Sony Records can give you, I, Zhang Yi, can also give you.  What I, Sony Records, cannot give you, I, Zhang Yi, can also give you.  "Zhang Yi still smiled and said. "What Mr. Zhang said Sony Records can't give me is to hold a concert in China?  "Michael said. His tone couldn't tell if he was a little unhappy. "Of course not.  What I can give you is of course respect for you and respect for your music.  At the same time, I can also give you absolute **.  Never force you to do something you don't want to do.  Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Mr. Jackson, why don't you think about it seriously?"  " "How about you try our Chinese food?  "When the food came, Zhang Yi picked up his chopsticks and said to Michael, "Although this food is Chinese food, it is not authentic.  It's not that the chef's skills here are bad, or that the condiments of the dishes here are wrong, but that the place where we eat is wrong.  Although this is Chinatown, it is not China after all.  To eat authentic Chinese food, you have to go to China.  Especially this roast duck.  " Michael's fingers are very joint and he is smart. It didn't take him long to learn chopsticks, but he was not as smooth as Zhang Yi. But for a foreigner who is used to using knives and forks, his ability to learn and adapt is still amazing.  During the meal, Zhang Yi and Michael talked from time to time, but most of those conversations were about Chinese food, or some Chinese humanities, and they even occasionally talked about their views on music and dance.  In the end, he never mentioned the job change again. But after dinner, when he was about to leave, Michael suddenly said: "I heard that Mr. Zhang also writes songs, and many of his songs are widely circulated.  I have also listened to many of Mr. Zhang's songs, especially the two English songs in the second album, and I like them very much.  Unfortunately, after that album, Mr. Zhang has not released any more records, and I have never listened to Mr. Zhang's new works.  "    "hehe.  I sang two new songs on the recent Rolling Stones tour.  However, those are all Chinese songs, and Mr. Jackson probably won¡¯t like them either.  I have a new English song here, which is very suitable for Mr. Jackson to sing.  Zhang Yi smiled, then took a document handed over by Lin Xiao and handed it to Jackson, saying, "Mr. Jackson, you can take it back and have a look. As for the matter I just mentioned to you, I hope you will consider it carefully."  " Michael took the document handed over by Zhang Yi and did not immediately take out the music score inside. Instead, he nodded to Zhang Yi.
