Chapter 130 130. Crazy Spray!

MGM building, Charlie Cooper's office.

Eric walked to the door and paused.

"Dad, I have something else to ask you for help. Facebook will be online in a few days, and I want to do some celebrity marketing."

"Can you convince a celebrity you know to help you open an account and try to post a dynamic message to attract traffic to the website?"

Charlie Cooper did not attend the meeting with technology a few days ago. As a middle-aged man in his 50s, he still doesn't understand what Facebook is used for.

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

Eric laughed and said, "Dad, new things need a process of familiarity. Once these people realize the role of social media in increasing their fame and exposure, they will be more active than checking in."

"Is Facebook really that magical?" Charlie Cooper couldn't believe it.

"Let's wait and see. Anyway, the results will be known soon. Also, they need to increase their investment. 10 million US dollars won't last long. I want to allocate another sum of money."

"How much do you need?"

"The second quarter's bill is coming soon, so I plan to transfer $20 million first. But to be honest, I'm not sure if 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 created really possible?"

Halfway through his words, he waved his hand again and said, "Forget it, just go ahead and do it. We've already started. Let's see how it works after Facebook goes online."

I know my dad is a little reluctant, mainly because facing a bottomless pit with an uncertain future, who can be willing to keep throwing money into it!

Zuckerberg's first round of angel investment was only $500,000. In comparison, you can see how big the game Eric is playing with is.

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

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

Eric looked at the other person and said, "Come in and talk."

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

Dan Jones, a woman in her thirties, is a private investigator by profession.

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

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

The woman is tall, has a pretty face and a good figure, and it can be seen that she has taken good care of herself.

And judging from her exposed forearms, her muscle lines are very obvious, which is a bit similar to Judy. She is probably also a person who exercises regularly.

After all, she can become famous in the circle of private detectives by relying on her identity as a woman. She must be very capable, with both strength and good looks, and she can use whichever method is needed.

Noticing Eric staring at him, Dan Jones smiled and said, "Every employer behaves the same way as you when they see me, but when they get what they want, they turn that look into respect."

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm being abrupt."

"It's okay. I'm used to it. It's harder for women in this circle."

"Please take a seat."

Dan Jones pulled out a 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 get started."

Eric nodded slightly. He liked this decisive and swift 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 sure everyone in America knows about it. I remember you were on Jackson's side. It was reported in the newspaper, right?"

"Ms. Jones, you remember it very clearly, and this is what I want you to investigate. Your target is Gavin Arvizo and his mother Janet Arvizo, mainly the latter."

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

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

"I understand. If it were easy, I wouldn't have come to you. Your fame and strength made me make this decision."

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

"Name your price."

"No bargaining for this number!" Dan Jones stretched out a hand and spread out his five fingers.

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

Dan Jones laughed and said, "Boss, that's not how you do business. If you do one more thing, you have to pay for one more thing. That's 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 curiously.

"I said we were investigating Michael Jackson's child molestation case. This is the second case this year, but don't forget that 1993 was the first. The lawyer and psychiatrist Janet hired this time are the same two people from 1993. I hope you can also get the evidence they used to frame Jackson in 1993."

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

"Ms. Jones, you have to know that this is a big case involving a big star. Jackson paid a full $23 million. Just imagine how much money that is."

"For something this big, even if 50 years have passed, let alone 10 years, there will definitely be evidence left. After all, no one knows whether it will be useful in the future."

"And there's this guy named Evan Chandler, who was the biggest beneficiary of the 1993 incident. I've made inquiries and found out that he's a dentist whose license was revoked and he's having a miserable life now."

Dan Jones shook his head: "A case that's more than 10 years old is too difficult to investigate, and how can you be sure that Michael Jackson is framed? I'm not his fan, but what if it's true?"

"No, there is no such thing as a chance. Jackson must have been wrongly accused!"

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

Eric looked at the other person carefully, and seeing Dan Jones' slightly raised mouth, he said calmly: "There is no point in arguing about this issue. When the evidence comes out, everything will be clear."

"How about this, if you can find evidence of the case from those three people, I am willing to pay another reward."

Dan Jones slapped the table lightly, stood up, held out his hand and said, "Deal!"

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

"Mr. Cooper, the fact that you came to me shows that you believe in my ability. People outside the industry may not know that private detectives do not work alone. I have dozens of people working for me."

After seeing Dan Jones off, all we can do now is wait for news, do our best and leave the rest to fate.

After dealing with some company matters, Eric talked to his father and told Chen Xing not to disturb him these days unless it was an urgent matter. He went home directly.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the company gate, the familiar scene was played out again. Now, whenever there is news about MJ, there will definitely be reporters stalking him.

Anyway, everyone in America knows that Eric is a die-hard supporter of Michael Jordan. Eminem has already disgusted people first, so I don’t believe that he won’t fight back.

Not to mention him, as soon as Eminem’s new song was released yesterday, Chuan Bao was the first one to jump out to criticize and harshly ridicule the other party.

Eric twisted his stiff neck slightly, then stood still and looked at the media surrounding him. Damn, there was Pravda again.

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

"Mr. Cooper, please comment on "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 have to ask anymore. I know what you mean, and I've been ready for the interview."

"You can report everything I say below as it is, and you can also expand it if you want. I will not sue anyone this time."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After hearing his speech, the reporters present's eyes lit up, it seemed that this guy was going to open fire today.

"Emmie Am, well let's just call him by his real name, Ruffian Am, or the more appropriate name, Mad Dog Am."

"Why do I say he is a mad dog? Because an obedient dog is friendly, but a mad dog will bite people indiscriminately."

"MJ's case was clearly a false accusation, and we should all wait for the court's verdict, but Eminem took the opportunity to hype it up 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 his singles and future album sales increase, the credit should be MJ's. What does it have to do with Eminem?"

"He is nothing but a mad dog that bites people randomly, and a poor kid who always shows off and talks about his miserable childhood experiences."

"He always talks about how bad my family background is and how bad my mom treats 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 one-sided statements from beginning to end."

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

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

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

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

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

"Eminem knows nothing, he is just an immature troubled teenager who paints himself as a victim of suffering."

"Besides writing songs about cursing people and wielding a chainsaw to teach kids bad things, has he ever really done anything useful for the kids? As far as I know, he has never donated a dime."

"One is a mad dog who can only talk big and attract attention, and the other is a true giant who silently endured and donated more than $300 million. The public should know who is right and who is wrong."

Eric's rapid-fire scolding gave the reporters on the scene a brain orgasm, and the news came out.

Of course Chuan Bao also cursed, but his words were not as intense as Eric's, and his choice of words was relatively restrained. He did not directly call Eminem a mad dog.

But some people still felt unsatisfied. The reporter from Pravda asked again: "Mr. Cooper, Eminem is a rapper. Diss culture is a form of rap. Many people think that there is nothing wrong with Eminem's way. He is just expressing his own views."

Eric glared at him. "Really? You think this is just expressing an opinion? You think diss culture can be used as an excuse?"

"Then let's go back to the origin. Rap ​​belongs to hip-hop culture. Am I right?"

The reporters present nodded one after another.

"So what is the spirit of hip-hop culture? It is authenticity, courage, spontaneity, freedom, 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 the hip-hop spirit. The other part advocates respect, love and peace. Don't you even know the word respect?"

"Eminem took half of his inner core and packaged himself to look like a rapper. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to use it as a cover to vent his emotions and insult others."

"A person like this is not worthy of being a rapper. I even doubt whether he is racist. Go back to his roots!"

After saying that, Eric motioned to the reporters to move aside. This time no one surrounded him. When he walked to the car door, Eric suddenly turned around and said.

“I’ll say one more thing, you can use it as a headline.”

"The longer I interact with people, the more I like dogs. Dogs are always dogs, but people are not people at times!"

The car drove all the way back to Beverly Hills, Eric changed his clothes, told his mother to bring him meals on time every day, and then went upstairs to lock the door and locked himself in the room under Joshua's strange eyes.

I opened the computer, created a new script document, and entered the title of the play "House of Cards".

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

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

He has carefully studied and watched the TV series directed by David Fincher several times, and even watched the British version of "House of Cards" in his spare time.

After comparison, I found that it might be because the times are different and the audience’s tastes are also different.

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

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

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 time period, especially the hasty handling of the endings, while American dramas are relatively better.

Finally, there is the protagonist’s unique way of breaking the fourth wall to communicate with the audience. Britain and the United States are in the same vein in this regard. Eric also thinks that this is indeed a major feature and should be retained.

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

"Key here!"

Thanks to Lao Ma for the reward of 500 coins.

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

Thank you both bosses.
