Chapter 106 104 Good People Should Not Be Pointed at with Guns, Innocence After Death

Chapter 106 Good people should not be pointed at with guns, and innocence after death is not innocence

Double Star Entertainment.

Touching Ao Mei's little head, Eric coaxed in a somewhat apologetic voice: "Sorry, little Elizabeth, there is still no role suitable for you."

Seeing that the other party was a little disappointed, Eric pinched her nose: "But although there is no role now, there will definitely be one next year. There will be many teenage roles in that movie. I can give you the heavier role."

"Really?" Ao Mei widened her eyes and asked with some surprise.

"Of course it's true, I never lie to fans."

Sending Elizabeth away, Mary Olsen asked: "Eric, do you really have a role?"

"Of course, is it fun to lie to children?"

The movie Eric was talking about was naturally "The Hunger Games", which was originally a work for teenagers, and it couldn't be easier to squeeze Ao Mei into it.

He crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa: "But Elizabeth's height is almost catching up with you two. She developed early. Except for this baby face, she doesn't look like a child."

"Are you saying we are short?" Ashley said dissatisfiedly.

Eric shook his finger: "Of course not. I never comment on women's height, weight and age easily. In my eyes, you are all beautiful girls."

"Slippery man." Mary stuck out her tongue.

"You should be glad that you have a handsome face." Ashley snorted coldly.

After chatting for a while, the two sisters began to report the recent company performance.

Since the last time, Double Star Entertainment has begun to implement the bundling sales strategy. Not long ago, MGM produced a short film that combined the classic cartoon character Pink Panther with the cartoon characters of the two sisters.

The short film is not long, less than 6 minutes, but after its release, it has received a lot of praise for its interesting story. The linkage method has always been loved by the public.

"Eric, although this method has only been implemented for less than 20 days, the effect is really good. According to the data we have obtained, the turnover of Double Star Entertainment has increased by 33% compared with last month."

"If it is compared with a full month, this number should reach more than 50%. Among them, the best-selling is undoubtedly the joint series with Pink Panther. This IP has driven more than 25%."

"We estimate that this number will increase next month, and the growth trend should continue for at least three months. The peripherals of "The Walking Dead" are currently being produced and will probably be online this week."

Looking at the numbers in the report, Eric is still quite satisfied, which proves the correctness of his decision.

"Ashley, how many production lines does the company have now?"

"6, actually originally 4, but recently 2 production lines have been restored. If the sales data continues to grow like this, it will need to continue to increase within a few months. This depends on the situation.

"How many new workers have been recruited?"

"120 people, 60 people for each production line. This is the best number based on experience. Whether it is more or less, it will lead to reduced efficiency. "

Eric nodded, looking at the two little girls in front of him who were not yet 18 years old, but he knew that he could not underestimate them.

Although the Olsen sisters have a poor eye for film selection and their acting skills are average, their business level has at least been trained over the years.

How many people can do better than them before the age of 18?

Let alone the whole United States, even if it is relaxed to the whole world, there will not be too many.

According to Eric's idea, now we must rely on Double Star Entertainment to gradually establish MGM's own sales network.

When the time is right, the commodity processing link will naturally be moved to China to enjoy the demographic dividend there.

In this era, the wages of Chinese workers are The level gap is too big. Of course, it is still big after 20 years, but it is even more exaggerated now.

According to the data released in 2002, the average monthly salary of an employee in the United States is about 2,400 US dollars.

The average monthly salary of workers in Yanjing is about 2,000 RMB, and the exchange rate difference between the two is nearly 10 times.

The cost of hiring 120 people in the United States is enough to hire 1,200 people in China. More importantly, there is not much difference in the level of workers on both sides. Why do you think those big companies and factories like to settle in China?

In the elevator, the Olsen sisters sent Eric out.

"Eric, didn't you say last time that you would invite me to the MGM studio to play? What time?" Little Elizabeth asked.

Eric rubbed his palms. He was so busy every day, how could he remember such a small thing.

However, when he looked down and saw the other party's somewhat resentful and expectant eyes, Eric was embarrassed to say no. He had just said a few hours ago that he would not lie to fans.

"Elizabeth, when do you want to go? Just decide the time. "

"Then let's do it today. I don't need to go to school today, okay?" Elizabeth said loudly.

Ashley patted her on the back: "Eric has something to do. When Mary and I start shooting our movie, I'll take you there. You can play as long as you want."

"Will he be there?" Ao Mei looked at Eric.

"Of course he will be there. Eric is the director. How can the movie be shot without him?" Mary said.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

As they were talking, they had already passed through the lobby on the first floor, and the receptionist opened the door.

Eric was about to say "don't send me off" when suddenly a group of reporters came out from nowhere and ran towards them.

"Fuck, they're hiding in the bushes again. This scene seems familiar!"

The memory of being hidden last time began to attack him. Eric subconsciously thought that he was secretly photographed again when he was hanging out with a girl. He turned around and wanted to return to the company.

But unexpectedly, these reporters were not coming for him. Instead, they surrounded the Olsen sisters in the center and started asking questions.

"Ashley, what do you think of Michael Jackson's case?"

"Mary, Fox TV broadcast "The Real World of Michael Jackson" last night. Did you watch it? Tell us what you think of his child molestation case."

"Mary, you have all been invited to Neverland. Have you been violated by Michael Jackson?"

"Ashley, do the Olsen sisters keep in touch with Michael Jackson? What kind of person do you think he is?"

The questions asked by all of them made Eric understand the intention of these gossip media. It turned out that they wanted to hype Michael Jackson's child molestation case.

This happened in February this year, when Eric had just finished cheating Hasbro in the stock market and was busy filming "Transformers".

When he came out of the Nevada desert, he heard about this, but the climax of the incident had already passed.

The cause of the incident can be traced back to 2000, when a boy named Gavin Arvizo was diagnosed with cancer, which led to the removal of his spleen and one kidney.

After being notified by the hospital that his death was approaching, Gavin Arvizo expressed his last wish, hoping to see Michael Jackson.

So with the help of charity businessman Jamie Masada, the family successfully contacted Michael Jackson.

As we all know, Michael Jackson has been committed to protecting and helping children because of his bad childhood. He likes to bring joy to other children.

So after he spent a huge amount of money to buy and build the Dream Manor, he invited children to visit the manor for a long time. When the children were happy, he also felt happy.

Therefore, after learning about Gavin Arvizo's situation, Michael took the initiative to contact the other party, paid for his medical expenses, and assigned him a blood supply team.

This kind of financial support, which was enough to bring down a family, lasted for three years.

With Michael's help, Gavin Arvizo's condition improved significantly, and after he was able to move normally, Michael invited him to Neverland.

Gavin Arvizo visited Neverland eight times in total, and met Michael accompanied by his parents twice. The remaining six times Michael was not at the manor, and the children were free to play.

If things ended here, it would be a very beautiful and kind story, but reality often plays out like a farmer and a snake.

In February this year, British journalist Martin Basher hoped to shoot a documentary about him on the condition of "matching Michael with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to organize a charity event to help AIDS children in Africa", and Michael naturally agreed very happily.

During the filming process, Gavin Arvizo and his family were also invited to appear on camera.

But after the documentary was broadcast, Michael discovered that Martin Basher did not report the truth at all, but portrayed himself as a pedophile through editing and guidance, a pedophile who wanted to have something with Gavin Arvizo.

This kind of thing has happened before, that was in 1 Chandler's bastard used his 13-year-old son Jody Chandler to blackmail Michael.

In the end, in order not to delay his career at its peak, Michael's company, agent, team, etc. persuaded him to settle out of court, for which he paid $22 million.

Now that Martin Basher has framed him with the same crime, Michael is naturally very angry and wants to sue him, and he also took out counterattack measures.

After 1993, he assigned himself a private photographer, who also recorded the interview process.

When this real video was released, public opinion reversed a bit, and Gavin Arvizo's family also said that Jackson was a good person, not a pedophile.

In this case, if Michael and Gavin Arvizo always stand together, things will definitely gradually change for the better.

But people's minds cannot be guessed. This family, like Evan Chandler's family, eventually chose to compromise with money.

Their whereabouts began to become strange. They no longer spoke for Michael, but instead began to contact child protection organizations and legal agencies.

The media also photographed Gavin Arvizo's mother Janet, who went to the office of the lawyer and psychologist who helped Evan Chandler frame Michael. Her purpose is not difficult to guess.

On April 24, which was yesterday.

Fox TV broadcast a more complete interview record provided by Michael, and the incident that was originally slightly quiet naturally detonated the public and the media again.

The Olsen sisters were also guests of honor at the Dream Manor, and now they are also celebrities, big and small, so they were greeted by the media.

Facing this group of blood-sucking leeches, Ashley and Mary could only keep silent. They had to be cautious in dealing with this matter. If they were caught with a language loophole by accident, countless big hats would be put on their heads the next day.

But the media obviously refused to let the two sisters go, and continued to ask questions, and most of the questions were obviously biased.

Rumors, scandals and gossip are always the favorite of the masses, no matter what era or country.

"Michael Jackson is innocent!"

In the chaos, a deep roar came out of Eric's mouth, but it could be clearly heard by everyone present.

As if a shark smelled blood, the reporters suddenly looked at him collectively.

"Eric Cooper."

A paparazzi shouted, as if he had just noticed who was standing next to him.

"There's a big fish!"

Realizing Eric's identity, the paparazzi immediately turned their guns and pointed the microphones at Eric.

"Mr. Cooper, can you repeat what you just said?"

A paparazzi asked, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.

Ashley and Mary hurriedly pulled Eric's clothes from behind, signaling him not to comment.

But as an MJ fan in his previous life, Eric knew the whole story very well, and MJ couldn't be treated like this!

Good people shouldn't be pointed at with guns, and innocence after death is not innocence.

He pushed the Olsen sisters, signaling them to stay away, and called the cameraman from Double Star Entertainment to ensure that he could keep a complete video of his speech.

Eric then said in a resounding voice: "I believe Michael Jackson is innocent, not only this time, but also the accusation in 1993."

"Michael is so kind that his kindness is exploited again and again, just like the farmer and the snake in Aesop's Fables."

"The vicious snake not only enjoyed the warmth given by the farmer, but also wanted to kill the farmer and even take his property after enjoying it."

"Some people are venomous snakes, and some media act as the fangs of the snakes!"

Huh!

The paparazzi at the scene suddenly groaned and inhaled in dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Cooper, why are you so sure that Michael Jackson is innocent? Do you have any evidence?"

Looking at the other party's nameplate, it is a reporter from the Independent.

"I have no evidence to prove Michael's innocence, so do you have evidence to prove that he committed a crime?"

The reporter sneered: "I don't have any evidence either, but everyone is watching the documentary and what happened in 1993, and the United States is a country with freedom of speech. Journalists are responsible for letting the public know the truth. I am just exercising my power."

"Is the power of journalists to mislead? You have the right to report but not mislead. Do you think you can make decisions on behalf of the law? Mr. Reporter!"

Staring at him, the other party's tone weakened: "No one can replace the law, I just..."

"Yes, no one can replace the law, but whether it was in 1993 or today, the law has not found Michael guilty."

"If you use such words again, I must doubt your professionalism and whether the Independent is still a newspaper that stands on the perspective of fairness and justice."

"Please tell me, does the Independent still represent fairness and justice as it did in the past?"

Frightened by Eric's aggressive momentum, the reporter was speechless. There was no way to answer this question. Suddenly, he seemed to have forgotten that he was the one holding the microphone.

Behind Eric, the three Olsen sisters showed strange eyes.

"This guy is pretty good."
