It is said that Michael Jackson opened his mouth and asked Yi Feiyang for 30 million for flowers. Yi Feiyang was so "excited" that he spit out a mouthful of coffee, which almost made Mike embarrassed.
Wow, 30 million in one sentence!
You really think I open a bank!
"Yi, what's going on? Is my coffee bitter?" Although he dodged, a few drops still spilled on Mike's face. Mike angrily took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
Yi Feiyang coughed and said: "No, Mike, I'm sorry, yes, I'm sorry! I can agree to both of the above conditions, but this one... I can't!"
"Ah? Why bro?"
"Because... I'm very short of money!" Yi Feiyang said, spreading his hands.
Mike: "..."
Seeing that Mike was "beaten" by himself, Yi Feiyang had to say: "Of course, as long as you are willing to star in this drama, when the box office comes out, I can get it, not to mention 30 million, even 50 million!"
"Oh man, don't talk to me about these useless things! Let me tell you, I am also very short of money now, yes, very short of money! I am so short of money that I am about to resell my collection of oil paintings! Oh God, you will never think that it is
Oh...I, the mighty pop king Michael Jackson, would actually...say such words, but I still said, there is nothing to be ashamed of, Yi, I need money! I need money very much!" Mike looked at it with his eyes.
Yi Feiyang said it very decisively, decisively, and firmly.
Seeing that Mike had lowered his face to talk about money, Yi Feiyang could only helplessly spread his hands. Then he said: "Mike, I'm sorry. I sympathize with your experience and the fact that you are short of money."
I understand...but again, I don't have that much money, and...even if I do, I don't plan to give it to you right away!"
"Huh? Why?" Mike could understand the first half of what he said, but the latter part... He's trying to kill himself, even if he has money, he won't give it to him. Do you really think I'm a third-rate little singer?
Seeing that Mike didn't understand, Yi Feiyang had to explain: "Because when the money comes into your hands, you will spend it all immediately. You won't understand how hard it is to earn this money and how much sweat you put into it... so
, I will only give you your salary after the movie is released and there are box office returns!"
"What. From the beginning to the end, you planned to pay me only after the movie was released?"
"Yes, that's right. But I can give you a part of the deposit first, not too much, only around 3 million!"
"Damn! 3 million is of no use to me at all! It's not enough to pay my subordinates' salaries. Yes, it's ridiculous. Since you don't have that much money, you still dare to invite me to film. I ask you, why do you do that?
?”
"With my sincerity!"
"Sincerity? What is this? In my opinion, it has no value at all!"
"Wrong, my sincerity is not only valuable, but you also accepted it!" Yi Feiyang retorted.
"Oh, really, you should tell me..." Mike remembered the radical words Yi Feiyang said last time, and his anger came up, and he sneered.
Yi Feiyang ignored his sarcasm at all, "Sincerity is the script I wrote for you. The character of Mike is you!"
"What did you say?" Michael Jackson was stunned, and then his face turned red. "I'm not as failed as the guy in your script. Yes, I'm not him, absolutely not!"
Seeing that Mike was about to get mad at Yi Feiyang again, his manager Peter had to stand up again and said, "Mike, please calm down!"
"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? He said I was a loser, didn't you hear that?!" Mike said, pointing to Peter's nose.
Peter's temper also rose, "Look at yourself, Mike, aren't you a failure now?"
"What?" Mike was stunned. He didn't think Peter would say that.
"Mike, I haven't been working with you for a year or two. We are not so much working partners as we are friends! Over the years, I have watched you go from glory to silence, and I have seen all the ups and downs you have experienced.
In my eyes. To be honest, I really want to wake you up, but I'm afraid you can't help but be sad... Mike, times are different now. It's no longer the era you dominated. You must open your eyes and see clearly.
Reality...Yi is right. He is very sincere. I have also read the script. It can be said to be a true portrayal of your experience. As long as you are willing to face reality and act in this drama, then you will challenge yourself and also
I tell everyone that you, Mike, are not afraid of losing, betrayal by relatives and friends, or cold eyes from the world, because you, Mike, can stand up and continue to be the world's pop king!"
Peter's words were so impassioned that, not to mention Mike himself, even Yi Feiyang was moved and thought in his heart, "This is a friend. This is a wake-up call at the critical moment."
Michael Jackson was obviously touched by Peter's words.
After a moment, "I understand, Peter, you don't need to say any more..." Mike looked at Yi Feiyang again, "Please forgive me for being rude to you just now. In fact, I was just saving my damn face... God
, I know how stupid I am. You are wholeheartedly trying to help me regain my glory through movies, but I still don’t know what to do. I’m sorry, my friend. I have decided to take over the filming of this drama. Yes, I want everyone to watch it.
Here, I, Mike, stand up again!"
At that moment, in the eyes of Yi Feiyang and his agent Peter, the Michael Jackson in front of him was definitely a different person!
…
October 25, 1999.
Fantasy Film Company announced that the filming of the new film "Dance Floor" directed by Yi Feiyang has officially begun.
The cast is as follows:
Starring: Michael Jackson, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, and Paris Hilton, The Masked Dancers, etc.
If the Wachowski brothers, who worked with Yi Feiyang, started filming "The Matrix 2" before, it caused a sensation throughout Hollywood, then now that Yi Feiyang has started filming "Dance Floor", the sensation caused by the Wachowskis is definitely not
Brother Xiao. The reason is---King of Heaven Mike is the starring role!
Everyone knows that King Mike has never made movies. He is also the king of the music industry and has always focused on the music industry. He has never been involved in the film career. Only occasionally you can see him show off his talents in song music videos.
So when Mike announced that he was going to star in the show "On the Dance Floor", it immediately caused a huge sensation in Hollywood!
Yes, the whole Hollywood was in a sensation, and everyone was stunned by Mike's incredible move.
"Mike is going to make a musical!"
"Mike's in a movie!"
"Wow, Mike is going to act!"
…
In short, the entire film industry and the entire North American music scene were shocked by this incident.
As Yi Feiyang's rivals, the Wachowski brothers were also shocked. What shocked them was not that Yi Feiyang invited Mike to film, but that the film Yi Feiyang shot was too unconventional.
Singing and dancing?!
Is there any mistake? You are pitting us against such an outdated movie and pretending that we are vegetarians? You are so disrespectful of us!
The Wachowski brothers were angry at Yi Feiyang's disdain for him. Bullshit, bullshit, don't think that just one Mike can defeat us. Our brothers are Hollywood geniuses and are invincible. We, "Hackers 2", will definitely be able to win!
Many media outlets have expressed different opinions on this film war and talent battle that has not yet officially begun but is already filled with smoke.
A review article in the American "Hollywood Times" pointed out: "Although China Yi relied on Mike's secret weapon to trigger a riot in the entire Hollywood, everyone is waiting to see what kind of musicals he can shoot. But I think China Yi's
The move is very impressive. Yes, it is not easy to invite Mike. What’s more, China Yi’s dancing skills in the show are even more amazing, allowing people to see different dances. So I believe that this song and dance
The film will definitely be a blockbuster, and maybe it can create new history."
"As for the Wachowski brothers, their biggest advantage is that "The Matrix 2" is a sequel. The previous episode has helped them accumulate countless science fiction fans. This time they will get twice the result with half the effort when shooting a new movie! What's more, they started filming
The time was earlier than that of China Yi, and the publicity was sufficient. It can be said that they came prepared. In comparison, China Yi's actions were a bit hasty, but fortunately the "Dance Floor Battle" talent show made up for this. So in my opinion
It seems that the future PK competition will definitely be a thrilling battle between dragons and tigers."
Regarding the above comment article, another American entertainment media, "Star Times", gave a different view.
"It is true that China Yi invited the pop king Michael Jackson, but we must also see that Mike is only good at singing and dancing. As for his acting skills... haha, we have only seen him singing and dancing in the MV, and his acting skills are really not complimentable...
...In contrast, Keanu Willis, the protagonist of "Hackers 2", is a well-known actor in Hollywood. Since his appearance in "Speed", he has been labeled as an actor, although his label is occasionally used
His handsome appearance hides it. Therefore, in our opinion, China Yi is just pulling a tiger skin to make a banner this time, but whether this banner can really be fluttered in the wind is open to question. Yes, we do not doubt his
Director ability, but this time he shot a musical, and the leading actor is Michael Jackson, who has no acting experience at all. You can imagine the difficulty! God, please bless this bold guy, although we estimate that he will lose
Very miserable!"
…
It has to be said that the various media's evaluations of Yi Feiyang's new film are well-founded, especially casting Mike, who has never acted before, as the lead. This is not only a bold attempt, but also a Russian roulette-style gamble, or die.
