"

Ronald didn't know how much face Michael Jackson could give him, and he didn't say enough. It's different now than when Ronald filmed the "Captain Io" short film for him a few years ago.

MJ's current record sales have broken the record of any singer's single record in history. Now in the music world, MJ is in a state of getting everything he wants. As the new album is about to be released, he can take more than an hour to watch it.

The movie was made for the sake of old friends.

"Oh, really? I rarely deal with musicians. I wish us good luck." Bannon mumbled and sat in the back seat without speaking.

"Ronald, please sit down. Have you brought all the copies?"

MJ’s manager Dario, with a bald head, came out to personally greet Ronald and Bannon.

"It's all on the cart." Ronald pointed to Bannon pushing a cart behind him, which contained a set of rough-cut copies of "Love Is Not For Sale."

"Where is MJ?" Arriving at the screening room, Ronald looked at the empty hall, with only a few backing dancers sitting sparsely in the back.

"He is very busy now, and there are many things he needs to confirm for the new album. Colombia has high hopes for the new album. He will come over after he finishes talking."

"Okay." Ronald sat down, and Bannon personally moved the copy into the screening room at the back.

The three of them waited in the private screening room for more than two hours. Bannon had already drank three large cups of Americano coffee, and Ronald began to play with his legs out of boredom.

"Tonight looks like it's going to be a long night." Bannon looked at Ronald with less respect than before. In front of America's biggest pop star, everyone was almost the same and had to wait. Looking at this posture, maybe

Ronald doesn't have much reputation to sell to MJ.

"Ronald, you're here, have you watched the MV of my new song?"

More than half an hour later, a slender and gentle male voice finally appeared in the screening hall.

Dario rushed forward and led MJ the way.

"Very good, very good. Who directed it? The image style is very good." Ronald stepped forward and hugged MJ.

"John Landis, he works for me now." Michael Jackson said with a smile.

Ronald was stunned. He hadn't heard this name for a long time. The director who caused an accident and beheaded actor Vic Morrow paid a huge amount of compensation to Morrow's family and two other Asian children.

His skills are actually very good, and now MJ is getting a bargain by asking him to direct the MV.

"Let's get started." After MJ sat down, he gave orders gently as usual.

Ronald looked at Bannon, who immediately ran to the screening room and started showing the movie himself.

The one-hour and twenty-minute movie quickly came to an end because there was no authorization for the song. At the end, Amanda Peterson and Patrick Dempsey were riding on the lawnmower, thinking about driving away, and kissed passionately together.

, no soundtrack.

“Can’t Buy Me Love…”

A very typical black male voice began to sing the song "Love Is Not For Sale" by the Beatles. The scene added harmony to the end of the movie.

Ronald looked at Michael Jackson singing softly in the darkness. There were actually tears in his eyes. He could see clearly under the reflection of the screen.

"Can't Buy Me Love...", the dancers and harmony group behind them also started singing along with MJ's acapella and started to join in.

"Oh oh..." After MJ finished singing, subtitles began to appear on the screen.

Ronald knew that things would go well, "You sang so well, I think it's even more moving than the original song."

"Oh, Ronald, you excited me." MJ calmed down and said calmly.

"Did you know? When I was a child, I was in the Jackson 5 choir with my father and several brothers, performing on TV and in live performances across the country. Every time I went to bed at night, my eldest brother would bring some beautiful girls back.

.

I was very inconspicuous at that time, and I always wanted to have such an innocent love as in the movie, without any other love mixed with it.

Love should not be a commodity." MJ sat in the dark and said to himself in a very soft voice.

"Pa..." The light in the hall was turned on.

"So, you agree?" Ronald looked at MJ under the bright light, sitting there in black clothes.

Ronald wanted to strike while the iron was hot and get the authorization done.

"Of course, of course, you are the best, Ronald. Your movies always make me feel moved and passionate."

"You are a talented artist, and it is amazing to be able to move you. But I am not the director of this movie."

"Hey, I know, you don't want to name yourself. Movies are like songs. From the paw prints, you can tell that the tiger has been there. The eyes of the heroine are full of hope. It must be your handiwork, right?

?”

"Well...that's it." Ronald thought to himself, he saved Amanda Peterson from Tom Mount's tiger's jaws, so her eyes can maintain this light.

"Mr. Jackson, Mr. Dario, do you agree to license the Beatles' song to us for this movie? I don't know what the price will be? We hope that it will be used as the opening and closing interludes, and as the name of the movie...

"

Bannon came up again, he was more anxious than Ronald.

"Dario, what is the minimum transfer fee for the song copyright I bought?" MJ asked the manager Dario.

"Minimum? According to the requirements of the union, the minimum is fifteen thousand US dollars for the film insert and another fifteen thousand US dollars for the title. But that is usually for a fledgling singer..."

"That's it, Ronald is my friend, he made me feel the original passion and innocence tonight..." MJ said and finalized.

…

"Are you satisfied? This is the lowest price."

Back in the limousine, Ronald handed the signed authorization agreement to Bannon.

Bannon took it carefully and then looked at Ronald several times.

"This person is unfathomable. MJ originally asked for 1 million for the song copyright, but he sold it to us for 15,000, with the naming rights for the movie."

Ronald glanced at Bannon's expression and knew that the other party had misunderstood that his relationship with MJ had reached the point where he could freely give away song copyrights.

In fact, Ronald didn't know why MJ was so moved by this ordinary teen romantic comedy. Could it be that he also had trouble picking up girls when he was a kid?

That said, it's quite possible. The star of the Jackson 5 chorus at that time was his eldest brother Jackie.

"Your extra production costs should be put to good use. You can use it to buy some film critics for marketing, or place more ads on MTV. The results will be good."

Ronald knew that Bannon's psychological price was almost one-third of the asking price. He had prepared 200,000 to 300,000 US dollars to purchase the song copyright. Unexpectedly, even one-tenth of it was not used.

"I will personally fly back to New York and take Donna to visit the New York Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley,...and other investment banks. And all large-scale securities firms on Wall Street, all of which have had large projects in the past two years.

The broker..." Bannon changed the subject and said a completely unrelated matter.

"When working on Wall Street, connections are also very important. Donna may not be suitable for the working environment there, but with my introduction, you still need to get to know those important people.

After that, I will personally send her to Renaissance Investment Company of Professor Simons on Long Island. The Roy Lin Columbia Fund he manages mainly makes fund investments for some Ivy League universities.

Donna can intern wherever she wants, and I will ensure that she uses her professional abilities to find a job as a research assistant at the Roy Lin Columbia Foundation."

"I don't know what to say other than thank you." Ronald could only say thank you. Donna is one of his closest relatives.
