Chapter 223 222. Ba Li Shi Jia

Before the bad things he did were exposed, Justin Timberlake was a super boy who was sought after by thousands of people. In China, he was called Boss Jia.

Because he was a man with a good business sense, he invested in many industries including clothing, golf, and catering, and made a lot of money.

But since the incident was exposed, he immediately became a scumbag who was beaten by everyone and became trash despised by the whole world.

And Britney Spears is not the only woman who has been harmed the most by him. Almost everyone who has dated him has a bad ending.

Janet Jackson only collaborated with him once, and her career plummeted and her popularity hit rock bottom.

The 2004 Super Bowl halftime show specially invited superstar Janet Jackson and popular young actor Justin to collaborate.

But just at the end of the performance, Justin Timberlake suddenly ripped off Jenny's clothes, exposing Jenny's right breast to the camera.

Even though the director hurriedly cut the camera, the footage was still seen by more than 80 million viewers.

You have to know that the Super Bowl is a national event, and the audience includes a large number of minors and children under the age of ten.

Although a breast-exposing scene will not have a bad impact on a person's mental state, the duration of that shot is very short.

But this is still a serious broadcasting accident. Who makes you a public figure? Who makes you a big star? You must bear this responsibility.

After the performance, the NFL, the broadcaster CBS, and the producer MTV all received a large number of complaints.

The FBI launched an investigation into the incident, and some angry viewers directly initiated legal proceedings, demanding huge compensation for mental damages.

As the center of both incidents, Jenny publicly apologized in front of the media, saying that it was an accident and she did not expect her bra to be torn. She had no intention of hyping herself up by exposing herself and did not want to let anyone down.

And Justin Timberlake still carried forward his fine tradition, pretending to be dead and talking about other things.

He did not admit that it was his responsibility. He just said that he was careless at the time, that he was too excited while singing, etc. He used vague words to shirk responsibility.

In an instant, the media and the public all pointed the finger at Janet Jackson. Who asked you to apologize? If you don't apologize, everyone can only regard all the parties involved as the responsible persons. But if no one else apologizes, only you apologize, then you are the responsible person.

Otherwise, you are not the responsible person, so why are you apologizing?

If someone is knocked down by you, and it wasn't you who caused the accident, why are you trying to help him up?

But in a later interview, Jenny said she was forced to apologize because she was about to release a new album.

The management team, record companies and other interested parties all hope that the situation will be settled quickly and are forcing her to apologize and seek forgiveness immediately to avoid affecting the release of her album.

This decision is obviously very wrong and is exactly the same as the 1993 Maikou child molestation case.

At that time, the agency team and the Chandler family reached a settlement agreement. Michael was on tour abroad at the time. After he came back, he found that the matter was done. Everyone around him advised him not to let the lawsuit affect his career, and he could only pay money to settle the matter privately. His eldest sister Toya even stabbed him in the back.

After Jenny apologized, Grammy, MTV and others wanted to ban her, saying that she must take full responsibility and clear herself of all blame.

There are also rumors that after the incident, Justin went to MTV and CBS privately, apologized to the heads of both companies in person, cried bitterly, and won their forgiveness.

But Jenny didn't go, so all the blame was directed at her.

This incident caused Janet Jackson's career to plummet. She was originally known as one of the four great divas along with Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Madonna.

After entering the millennium, the record industry as a whole was sluggish, and the sales of the other three people declined significantly. Only Jenny continued to maintain his advantage, but after this incident, she fell behind instantly.

However, Justin Timberlake was not affected, but his popularity soared instead.

The truth of the Super Bowl incident is no longer verifiable. Was it an accident or intentional? Who designed the bra-tearing segment? Is Jenny absolutely innocent? Is Justin a victim? But Justin apologized to Jenny for the incident more than a decade later. If it had nothing to do with you, why would you apologize? If you are determined that you did nothing wrong, why apologize? Were you also coerced? Even if we make the worst inference, Jenny and Justin planned this incident together.

Should Justin stand up like a man? His cowardly behavior is clearly an attempt to evade responsibility, which shows that he has a corrupt character.

Now that Eric knew about this, he had to prepare for the worst and treat it as if it were going to happen.

It is obviously impossible to persuade Jenny to withdraw from the Super Bowl at this time because the contract has been signed.

We can only take precautions in advance, otherwise if something unexpected happens, "The Voice of China" will definitely be criticized and we will be defeated before the competition even starts.

The second week box office for "Saw 2" is out, with a 53% drop in North America, slightly more, closing at $25 million.

The film has been released in some overseas countries and has grossed 21 million US dollars. The global box office is about to exceed 100 million US dollars.

The box office success naturally boosted MGM's stock price, which rose by another 2.23% to around US$11.6 billion, which is very close to the previous 20th Century Fox.

As long as it produces one more hit or a few profitable works, it will definitely surpass Fox.

As for its competitor, Dead Silence, it has been swept into the trash.

Like "Saw 2", "Dead Silence" has also begun to be released overseas, but unfortunately, the overseas box office is as bad as in North America.

Any movie has certain limitations, just like martial arts movies cannot go beyond Asia, European and American horror movies are generally only popular in Europe and the United States, while Japanese, Korean and Thai horror movies are spread in Asia.

So American audiences do not recognize "Dead Silence", and the same is true in Europe and South America. The cultural similarities lead to the same starting point for examining a movie, and everyone thinks it is bad.

Judging from the current overseas box office trends, it would be lucky for "Dead Silence" to earn more than 10 million. Analysts predict that it will be difficult for this film to break 40 million US dollars at the global box office. Lionsgate is bound to lose money and can only pin its hopes on the DVD market.

At the same time, YouTube's development momentum is very encouraging. After the peak, it still attracts tens of thousands of registered users every day.

The influence of the Shoulder Shake Dance continues to spread. Not only is it being performed in Europe and the United States, but many imitators have also appeared in Asia.

In the words of Howard Hughes, it was like a whirlwind that could not be stopped.

The funny music short film "ppap" shot by Maikou was also officially launched on the market a few days ago.

As expected, interesting videos are still interesting even after more than ten years, and "PPAP" quickly went viral.

Since only the first half of the song was captured, it is very easy to imitate and is far less difficult than the shoulder shaking dance. Imitation videos appeared on YouTube as soon as it was released.

With his exaggerated movements and charming expressions, coupled with simple and catchy lyrics, the Japanese-American named Yamanaka suddenly became popular.

Some clubs, bars and talk shows have invited him to perform, but unfortunately the copyright of the song belongs to YouTube, not to him personally, so he has no right to sing it.

For this purpose, Yamanaka specifically submitted an application to YouTube, and the company did not make things difficult for him and chose to authorize him.

He splits the profits from any PPAP-related activities 80% to 20%, with YouTube taking 80% and Yamanaka taking 20%.

Don't think it's too little, 20% is enough for you to eat and drink. After all, you are just an unknown performer.

You didn't participate in the creation, you didn't participate in the recording, and you didn't participate in the promotion. What else do you want as a worker?

Even without you in the mountains, there would still be Nara and Akimichi. Getting 20% ​​is already a gift and favor from God. Thank you on your knees.

Beverly Hills, Nicole's home.

"Jenny, just as I expected, your cooking skills are really great, not inferior to those Michelin chefs at all."

As Eric ate ​​his food, he praised one of his future mothers-in-law.

Chefs like to be praised for their cooking skills, and Jenny happily cut another steak for Eric.

"Eric, it's such a pleasure to communicate with you. Nicole's father rarely praises me. He only eats. After eating, he sits on the sofa and watches TV, or goes to the study to read."

"This is normal, Jenny. Anthony has enjoyed your good craftsmanship for decades. He is used to it. I think he must have praised you often when he was young."

Nicole agreed, "Yes, I remember when I was a teenager, my father often praised you for being beautiful."

"Hehe! He has become stupid from reading so much. He studies psychology all day and applies his research results to other people. He should study my psychology more."

"Eric, I heard from Nicole that your parents have maintained a good relationship for decades."

Eric nodded slightly. "Yes, they rarely quarreled, at least in my memory. My parents got married when they were around 30 years old. At that time, they were mature and knew what they wanted."

"So after they found each other, they have been living happily ever after. Of course, both of them have good personalities and tempers, which is also the main reason."

Jenny looked relieved: "It's not easy to see a couple like this in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Your parents are lucky to be in love, and they are even luckier to have such an outstanding son like you."

Jenny's words were not just a casual compliment. The chaos in the entertainment industry is well known, and the chaos in Hollywood is even more world-famous.

A representative figure among them is Elizabeth Taylor. Although this aunt is Michael's good friend, her emotional life is also extremely messy.

When many people talk about the most unprofitable movies, they immediately think of Cleopatra, which started filming in 1960 and cost around 44 million U.S. dollars, which is roughly equivalent to around 500 million U.S. dollars today after factoring in inflation.

The final box office was around 20 million US dollars, which was even worse than the loss of "Windtalkers". "Captain Marvel 2" is no match for it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

One of the main reasons why the movie lost so much money was that it was boycotted because Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were having an affair, and they were both married at the time.

As soon as the news was exposed, it became a global hot search. Even the Vatican criticized their lifestyle. The two of them were spurned and the movie was in trouble.

But this affair was just a minor incident for Elizabeth Taylor. She went through eight marriages in her life and it was just a joke.

Many of these cases were of married women who cheated on their husbands and became mistresses to steal their men.

The brand "Balishijia" appeared too late, otherwise she should have been invited to endorse it.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are also classic cheating couples. Madonna and her husbands, and Kim Kardashian really treat it as a game.

In this world of fame and fortune, growing old together is almost a pipe dream. Not many people can maintain a happy marriage for decades like Eric's parents.

However, Eric has 100% trust in his mother, a devout Christian, but he is skeptical about his father, thinking that he must have had an affair.

For example, he always felt that the relationship between his father and Susan was unusual, but the old man handled it very well and did not find any clues.

Both the hosts and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. Jenny was amused by Eric so much that she couldn't stop smiling. She happily went to clean up the mess.

"Smooth talker, Eric Cooper, I don't know how many women you have deceived with your clever words."

Nicole poked a finger at Eric, but he bit her and then picked her up by the waist.

"Oh wait, don't do that, my mom can see it."

"Just let her see it. She knows everything."

"She knows nothing about you. She only knows that I have a crush on you, but she doesn't know that we have been secretly doing it for a year."

Hearing this, Eric suddenly felt dazed. It had already been a year. Without realizing it, they had been together for a year. Time passed so quickly.

He carried Nicole to the bathroom: "You can't see it from here."

"No! Do you think everyone else is stupid? When mom saw the two of us disappear together, she knew that we must have done something wrong."

"Baby, I've been missing you so much in China these days. You have to help me."

"I don't believe you. There's no one to watch over you there. You don't know how much fun you're having. Take your hands away and don't touch me."

Hmm. Nicole was caught, and the two kissed passionately, and her resistance began to weaken.

The land had not been irrigated for several days, and Nicole soon began to breathe heavily.

The villa is warm, so I’m not wearing thick clothes.

Eric pushed it up, and the off-white sweater was rolled up.

The color of this underwear is so sexy! "Wait, I really can't do that, dear, it's too embarrassing!"

"oops!"

"Eric, you bastard"

"Pfft. What's wrong with me?"

"Come in quickly, we must make this a quick decision!"

"Yes, sir!"

When Eric left, he said goodbye to Jenny, who was smiling, and did not notice anything unusual on her face.

After he left, Jenny immediately glared at Nicole and said, "Girls, you seem to have forgotten your feelings. And even in your own home, you are too bold. You should at least consider my presence."

"Sorry, mom." Nicole turned her head away embarrassedly.

"And the situation seems to be different from what you said. This is not as simple as a good impression. What is the relationship between you two? Tell me the truth!"

After Nicole finished her explanation, Jenny sighed and said, "Daughter, you have chosen a difficult path."

"I know."

"Actually, I don't quite understand. Do you think there will really be a result between you two?"

“I don’t know, but I hope so.”

"Hey! Nicole, is Eric really good to you? Except for his sweet words."

“He gave me 1% of the shares.”

"What?"

"On the eve of MGM's IPO, he gave me 1% of the shares, which is now worth more than 100 million."

Jenny took a step back: “Okay, just pretend I didn’t say anything. I wish you happiness.”

"Hehe. Don't be like that, Mom. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Jenny pondered for a moment: “There’s only one step I can think of.”

"Hurry up and tell me!"

"child."
