Chapter 109 107《Rolling in the Deep》

Chapter 1g in the deep》

Neverland was originally a farm, covering an area of ​​2,800 acres, larger than the ten T'anmen Square combined.

Michael Jackson bought this place in 1987 and spent a huge amount of money to transform the farm into a resort that integrates amusement parks, sports fields, zoos, movie theaters, etc., and named it Neverland Ranch, named after "Peter Pan" in Neverland.

However, unlike the resort, it is not open to the public and only Michael Jackson's friends and children are welcome.

"Any other time, there would be a lot of kids playing here, from Santa Barbara, from other places, from all over the country."

"Neverland would have been filled with laughter and laughter when the children played here, but that's gone now."

Driving a sightseeing car, MJ took Eric and the three of them around the manor, and he couldn't help but sigh when he talked about it.

"Don't be discouraged. Everything is temporary. I believe it won't be long before Neverland will welcome laughter again."

Maikou smiled: "I hope so."

Gadot actually didn't know MJ and had heard of his songs, but when Gadot grew up, MJ's peak had passed and the market was gradually occupied by latecomers.

But it doesn't matter, wherever Eric stands, she stands.

She said angrily: "Those media are really hateful, especially that Martin Bascher, this guy is a bastard."

Maikou sighed: "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I don't think I will accept interviews or documentaries again in the future. There will always be people with malicious intentions in their hearts, but you can't detect it at all."

After hesitating for a moment, Eric finally reminded him: "McKen, it's not just the media, it's also Gavin Arvizo and his family. According to recent media reports, the whereabouts of this family are very problematic."

"Especially Gavin Arvizo's mom, Janet, she seemed to be plotting famously bad things, things that could be bad for you."

Speaking of the boy's family, Maiqun's expression became obviously bad, but he still managed to say: "It shouldn't be like that. Maybe she just wanted to protect Gavin. I have met their family and they are all very good people."

"But you have to know that not everyone is the same, and good people can turn bad under certain conditions, especially when vital interests are involved."

"Mykko, let me ask you a question, will you continue to support Gavin Arvizo? I heard that you not only paid for his medical expenses, but also improved their family's life, but will you continue to do this? ?”

"I mean until Gavin Arvizo's parents die of old age, would you?"

Although MJ is kind, he is not a fool. Especially after the backstabbing in 1993, he realized how big a piece of fat he was in the eyes of some people, and one bite was worth a sky-high price of 20 million US dollars.

Seeing that MJ's face turned not so good, Eric continued: "Michael, there is something else I want to tell you. According to what I know, Janet Arvizzo has multiple criminal records and she is a habitual offender."

"I'm not saying that people who make mistakes will never change, but when dealing with such people, you must learn to protect yourself."

“Don’t bet on other people’s character with your own kindness!”

Like a bolt from the blue, these words penetrated directly into Michael's heart like a sword.

His face became even more ugly. At this time, the car drove to the zoo. Michael looked at Elizabeth: "Want to go in? I have animals from all over the world here, some of which are rare."

Elizabeth nodded. Even though she had been to many interesting places, the splendor of Neverland still made her feel shocked and novel.

The two happily walked into the zoo, and Eric and Gadot followed.

"Wow, there are actually penguins here!" Elizabeth looked at the group of cute little things in front of her in surprise.

"These are not Antarctic penguins, they are tropical penguins. I brought them from Isabela Island. They are called Galapagos penguins." Maikou explained.

Not to mention Elizabeth, even Gadot was surprised to hear that penguins can still live in the tropics.

"Can I touch these little guys?" Elizabeth asked excitedly.

Maikou waved his hand hurriedly: "That's not okay. Although they are cute, these little guys can bite people. I was once bitten on the hand, and it really hurt."

"What a pity."

After visiting the zoo, a few people came to the amusement park.

Elizabeth pointed to the roller coaster: "It looks so beautiful, much more grand than those outside. Can I ride this?"

Maikou shrugged: "No problem, but for my age, the roller coaster is a bit too exciting. I can't participate in this project."

Eric looked at Mike. Although this man did not look old, he was actually in his forties.

Eric really couldn't understand how a man in his forties could maintain his childlike innocence. Maybe some people were just that pure.

Looking at him, Eric felt a bit like the old naughty boy in Legend of the Condor Heroes, but he was not as noisy as the old naughty boy. He was more responsible.

In the end, Eric was pulled onto the roller coaster by Elizabeth. Gadot said that he had a psychological shadow on this thing and that he never wanted to try it again after riding it once before.

The two sat in the front row, safety gear locked.

Suddenly, Eric felt his hand being grabbed and looked at Omei.

Little Elizabeth took a deep breath: "This way we won't be nervous!"

"Are you afraid?"

"Kind of."

"Then you are still playing?" Eric was speechless.

"I want to try it."

The roller coaster started slowly, and after quietly looking at Eric's face, Elizabeth felt a burst of joy in her heart: "Only in this way can I hold your hand!"

ah

The screams of the two men echoed throughout Neverland.

After a day of crazy play, the four of them felt a little tired, and even little Elizabeth had no energy.

At the dining table, Michael brought a soup basin with steaming beef stew in it.

He said a little shyly: "My cooking skills are average. If it doesn't taste good, I will eat other foods. Those were cooked by Ovid. He is a professional chef."

The three of them smiled. The food prepared by Michael Jackson himself was more than just delicious.

Eric had seen photos of McQueen cooking for the Beatles on the Internet before, but he never thought that this day would happen to him.

Picking up a piece of beef and putting it in his mouth, the aroma immediately spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

After playing for a day, everyone was hungry. More importantly, this kind of play brought the four people closer to each other instantly, so Gadot and little Elizabeth didn't have any ladylike scruples and just opened their mouths to eat.

Seeing the three of them eating happily, Maiqun also smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Neverland had not had guests for several months, and at this moment he no longer felt alone.

After dinner, the four of them were sitting or lying on the floor. Videos of MJ's previous concerts were playing on the TV.

Mike came over with drinks and distributed them to everyone. Elizabeth suddenly asked: "McKnow, why don't you release an album?"

"My last album was released in 2001. You may not know that it takes a long time to make an album.

"It often takes more than two years. I am indeed preparing for the next album, but it will be a long time before it is released."

Elizabeth was a little surprised: "It actually took two years! My sister also produces records. I feel that their production process is very easy and very fast."

Eric patted Omei's little head: "Your sister's records are specially designed for children and teenagers. They are completely different from the difficulty level of Maikou."

"McKen's albums have sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide. It would be a miracle if Ashley and Mary's records could sell 10 million copies."

Seeing Omei puffing up her cheeks, MJ consoled her and said, "I like children's songs very much. Elizabeth, next time you come here, can you bring me one of your sister's records?"

"Of course!" Elizabeth agreed while glaring at Eric.

Eric spread his hands: "Okay, I said something wrong, but Maikou, it does take a long time to release an album, but why not release a single? A single should be simpler."

Maikou shook his head slightly: "You can't think of it this way. Although the production time for a single is shorter, the requirements are higher. One or two title songs in an album are enough, but a single must generally be the title song, so if If you don’t have good songs, it’s better not to release them!”

"That's right, I have a song here, you can listen to it."

"You can also write songs?" MJ looked at Eric in surprise.

"No, I haven't studied music theory, I just hum to myself."

"It doesn't matter. Many songs start with humming. Just sing one."

When it comes to music, Maiqun becomes visibly excited.

"Sing one, sing one, I haven't heard you sing yet, Eric."

Gadot and Elizabeth also cheered.

Snapped!

Maikou snapped his fingers: "Xidi, turn on the device."

A black aunt came next door, pressed a button on the wall, turned on the home theater, and then brought Eric a microphone.

After coughing a few times, Eric hummed a few more times to find out the feeling, which made Elizabeth giggle non-stop.

Although he was not a singer before time travel and had little research on English songs, he still knew a few songs that were popular in the industry and became famous all over the world because he often sang karaoke with female actors.

Today's song was specially selected by Eric for MJ, Adele's representative song - "rolling in the deep".

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

Finally I can see you crystal clear

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I leave with every piece of you

Don't underestimate the things that I will do

There's a fire starting in my heart

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

We could have had it all

Rolling in the Deep

Your had my heart Inside of your hand

And you played it To the beat

When singing, you may be shy at the first sentence, and you will still be shy at the second sentence, but you will definitely let go more and more when you sing the tenth sentence.

Even if it is just a cappella, without accompaniment, Eric's mind has already echoed Adele's voice.

It was not until the climax that he suddenly realized that this body had no talent for singing at all. He could not reach the high notes at all, and could only sing with his neck stiff.

"Hahahaha"

Gadot and Elizabeth couldn't help laughing. They had never seen Eric so funny and embarrassed. Even the black lady next to him slapped her thighs and laughed.

Eric spread his hands, meaning that you can see that I am at this level.

But unlike the others, MJ's eyes were shining, looking at Eric as if he was looking at a treasure.

"Don't stop, keep going Eric, keep going, don't worry about your singing skills, just keep singing."

He stood up from the floor, snapping his fingers and twisting his body slightly.

Encouraged by Michael, Eric also twisted his body and opened his mouth to continue singing.

Baby I have no story to be told

But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn

Think of me in the depths of your despair

Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind you of us

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all

The scars of your love they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

We could have had it all

Rolling in the Deep

You had my heart inside of your hand

And you played it

To the beat

But you played it

You played it

You played it

You played it to the beat

As the last note fell, Eric looked at Michael. As for Gadot and Elizabeth.

Well, they were still laughing.

"Michael, what do you think of this song?"

Michael seemed to be still immersed in the melody. After listening to Eric singing it once, he could already hum part of the melody.

After a long time, Michael's face showed an increasingly hot smile.

"Eric, is this song really something you hummed when you were free?"

Eric nodded shamelessly.

"Oh my god! You are simply a genius. Although your singing skills are very poor, it does not affect the excellence of the music and lyrics."

"Rolling in the deep" has a very new era atmosphere in terms of style and tune."

"If the arrangement is completed and a suitable singer is chosen to sing it, I am sure it will top the Billboard chart!"

"Billboard, are you sure?"

"Very sure, I have seen too many singers and listened to too many songs, I am sure that some songs are destined to be a big hit as long as they appear."

Eric nodded. He didn't know whether "Rolling in the deep" had ever topped the Billboard chart, but it was popular all over the world, so it should be okay.

Take out a piece of paper from his pocket, Eric grabbed Michael's hand and put it in his palm: "Then I'll give this song to you."

The scene was stunned. MJ looked at the paper full of lyrics, and there were all kinds of crooked lines on it.

He understood that Eric, as an outsider, was marking the pitch.

"No, no, no, I can't have it. This song is too valuable. It shouldn't be given as a gift."

"Eric, you should find a professional team to complete this song. Trust me, there will be many people willing to pay a high price for it."

As he spoke, MJ stuffed the paper back again.

Eric looked at him with a smile: "Maiko, are you worried about something? Because it's the first time we've met, so you don't think it's good to accept a gift?"

"But I feel that even though it's the first time we've met, we get along very well, and you take it very seriously, but in my opinion it's just a tune that I hum."

"Compared to friendship, what's a song?"

But Maikou still kept shaking his head: "Eric, you are not from the music industry. You don't understand the meaning of a good song to a singer. It is worth millions of dollars. This is too expensive and I can't accept it." !”

"A few million dollars? Gadot, how much was the investment in "Transformers"?"

"$500 million."

Eric shrugged: "McKen, I think it's a piece of paper, so it's just a piece of paper. If you don't want it, just burn it."

"I have a lot of work to do and no time to care about a song. Do you want it to sink into darkness forever?"

There was a tangled look on MJ's face. As the King of Pop, his love for music runs deep into his bones.

If you don't listen, you will burn.

The problem is that he has already heard it, and the song keeps whispering in his mind like a curse. He will be heartbroken if such an excellent song is buried.

Seeing his expression, Eric grabbed the other man's hand again.

"Maikou, I believe it will truly shine in your hands!"
