After taking down a queen-level figure like Madonna, Li Changsheng aimed at another king of heaven, Michael Jackson! To deal with Michael Jackson, of course, you can't use the means to deal with Madonna. Taking advantage of the fact that Michael Jackson is not particularly popular now, he asked the record company he controlled to buy the equity of Michael Jackson's company, and even bought Michael Jackson, and then his gold medal producer Jones. Of course, the best way is to let him stay in the original company and let him continue on the original path. Because any excessive intervention may destroy his road to king! Li Changsheng's investment this time is really a huge profit! He bought 50% of the company's equity for only 10 million US dollars! 707 In the future, Michael Jackson will earn billions of dollars for him, equivalent to tens of billions in our currency! What a high rate of return! In the 1980s, Jackson mainly released two solo albums, namely "Thriller" and "Awesome".
In the era without digital music, the profits of physical records were very high. The former sold about 40 million copies in the 1980s, and the latter also had 20 million copies. Plus the singles and music videos attached to these two records , as well as the sales of his solo albums and the Jackson Five before the 1980s, it can be confirmed that "Jackson's global sales of solo albums throughout the 1980s exceeded 100 million copies. In addition, Jackson acquired the copyright of about 260 songs of The Beatles in 1985, which brought him another huge fortune. As long as these songs are ordered on the radio, the copyright owner can obtain corresponding income. In addition, Jackson conducted two tours in the 1980s: the "Victory" tour with his brothers, and his first global tour: the "Awesome" tour. In the 1990s, Jackson released three solo albums: "Dangerous", "History" and "Blood Splattered Dance Floor". Their global sales in the 1990s were 26 million, 36 million, and 5 million respectively. Among them, "History" is a double-album album, and if calculated as a set, it is 18 million. Including his previously released albums, music videos and singles, it is estimated that Jackson's global record sales in the 1990s were approximately 110 million. There are two solo tours around the world, namely the "Dangerous" and "History" tours. The funny thing (agbf) is that Jackson was going to buy Marvel in the early 2000s. It has to be said that this is a very insightful investment. The current commercial value of Marvel has exceeded 100 billion US dollars, which is already obvious to all. However, this deal has actually failed in the end, but Jackson himself was misled by his staff , I believe that the company has been under his income. When the truth of all this came to light, Jackson couldn't help being furious in front of Casio, and "wept fainted in the toilet". Interestingly, in that time and space, Michael Jackson, the king of pop music, still earned billion pounds (approximately 13 billion yuan) in the 11 years after his death, and the money is still growing, and his ability to absorb money is unparalleled . After Michael's sudden death in 2009, he left nearly 400 million pounds in debt (about billion yuan). However, Michael’s estate executors have fully exploited his business value and turned losses into profits wisely, which includes income from music copyrights, image royalties, commercial cooperation with other companies, etc., and received 4230 in 2017 alone million pounds (about 370 million yuan). Li Changsheng deliberately asked Michael Jackson to sign a 20-year contract with liquidated damages as high as 1 billion US dollars. Of course, the proportion of Michael Jackson's share is also high, higher than other record companies! There are all kinds of irrationality in it. Michael Jackson was unwilling to sign at first, but after he met Li Changsheng, he respected Li Changsheng like a god and willingly worked for Li Changsheng! Li Changsheng didn't interfere with everything about Michael Jackson, just let him display his talents to the fullest. .
