Chapter 4 Haunted House? Mike~
We entertained little Pilo for a few days in Hong Kong, and then said goodbye to our friends in the summer.

Let's have a meal~
Everyone gathered together to eat and sang when they were having fun.

Xia Tian sang a song called "Actually I Don't Want to Leave", "Actually I don't want to leave, I actually want to stay, to accompany you every spring, summer, autumn and winter~"

He even added the word "we" in the lyrics. How cunning is that?!

At night, Aying was very clingy and refused to sleep. Xiatian had to coax her, saying that it would come again soon.

And Aying also said a lot of sweet words, which shocked Wang Fei - Jiejie, my Jiejie, are you still the Yingjie I knew? You couldn't say such words before~
It seems that Sister Ying has also grown up, and I can't fall behind~
Well, comparison!
……

On December 12, Xia Tian and little Palo boarded a plane to the United States.

I'll go there in the summer to take care of some of the affairs there and make some advance preparations. I also want to try to find Sister Yun.

In the past two years, she has not returned to the island or Hong Kong, and has been staying in the United States and Japan.

No matter what, we have to meet and talk it out, from beginning to end...

On December 12, the plane landed in Los Angeles.

Although Little Palo's home is in New York, as a local tyrant in the United States, he had found a hotel in advance.

As a result, in the summer, the two of them arrived at this hotel in downtown Los Angeles with their suitcases.

Xia Tian, ​​dragging his suitcase, stopped far away, looked up and observed the hotel building.

Uncomfortable! Very uncomfortable!
Even before entering, Xia Tian felt "sticky and gloomy" all over, as if he was facing a lot of funerary objects that had just been dug out of the soil a few days ago!
This is not right, right?!

Seeing Xia Tian standing there for a long time without moving, Little Pi Luo asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Tian asked, "Wait, Yali, doesn't this hotel look great?"

Little Palo was a little confused so he glanced at the hotel gate: What do you mean it’s not very good?

And the hotel that looks amazing?
Ah~ I understand!

Are you looking for... a girl~
Xia Tian glanced at him sideways: Do you think I look like someone who lacks resources in this area?
Xiao Pai Luo: Who knows what your hobbies are? My friends and classmates in the film and television industry have a wide range of hobbies, but some of them are particularly fond of this one.
Xia Tian shook his head and said, "I think this hotel is not good, very bad. It makes me feel very uncomfortable. Let's just forget it!"

Little Pai Luo looked at the bustling hotel again and said, "This hotel is very famous. I checked and it's said to have a history of 70 years! And the location is great, very convenient to get around..."

Xia Tian muttered, "What I'm afraid of is that it has a long history..."

Soon, Xia Tian spent five dollars and heard some gossip about the Selsey Hotel from a white youth nearby.

After hearing this, little Palo's face turned pale: "What? The Black Dahlia case happened here?!"

He looked back at the hotel building in the distance again and suddenly felt eerie.

Of course, this may be a psychological effect. If he were more sensitive in this regard, he would have discovered it long ago.

Speaking of which, there's usually something wrong with places like this.

Xia Tian has visited many places in Yanjing since he was a child, and he has taken photos of those places that are rumored to be strange.

Some of them do feel a little strange, but not too strong.

It doesn't look like this place at all?

The hospital doesn’t have such a negative test!
This feeling is very strong abroad... maybe it's because of the different national conditions?

Anyway, I can’t live here anymore!
Although there are a lot of people coming and going, generally no problems will occur.

——Those who have problems usually have some problems of their own. According to Xia Tian’s idea, it is either because of a special fate or because of a frivolous horoscope.

But knowing that there is a problem doesn’t mean you can test your luck, right?
Moreover, Xia Tian remembered something.

Many years later, there seemed to be a Lan Keer incident, which also happened in this hotel!
Change, change quickly!
It's a haunted house!

Xia Tian was about to get in a taxi when he suddenly paused: Wait… I have an idea! The Ghost Universe…

……

The two of them changed hotels, and Xia Tian began to organize his ideas about the "Ghost Universe".

And little Palo was organizing the next information - Xia Tian had already discussed with him that the future business regarding literary copyright and film would be handed over to him.

Let old Palo go, he will be replaced by young Palo in the future~
The old is replaced by the new!
As for Little Pai Luo, he is a film and television professional and a half-in-the-circle person. He is very interested in this aspect.

However, after graduation, I only participated in two or three small projects because I didn’t want to be a slave for a big company.

Now that I can handle the copyright of summer and cooperate with film and television companies, I am naturally very happy.

To be honest, because of Xia, their family went from being middle class to being millionaires in the past seven or eight years.

Old Palo has at least thirty or forty people working for him.

It's quite good that the younger Pilo can inherit his father's business and share some of the business that the older Pilo is unable to handle.

Who would want to work like a slave when you can start your own business?
It would be wonderful to be Xia Tian's partner in the United States.
Unfortunately, although little Palo was well prepared and very professional.

But after three days of talks with the film company, it finally fell through.

The other party is really not a human being!
Want all the rights to "Groundhog Day" and only pay $8?

I can go to hell!
Xia Tian is a famous American bestselling author, and this is all he did? He's crazy!
This independent film company doesn't seem to be looking to make a movie; they just had a crush on the book and wanted to stockpile the copyright. And fifty years after his death?! Fuck you!
I might as well take the photos myself!

"Forget it. It's not your fault if the deal fails this time. The other party has no sincerity at all and is taking advantage of us." Xia Tian had to comfort little Pai Luo, who had a bad start and lost his first deal.

"Cheer up, be more energetic, don't lose face... If you can't keep me here, I'll find another place to stay~"

Originally, selling the copyright was only a small part of my purpose for coming this time. Since that didn't work out, I'll do something else. Don't make this a wasted trip!
Xia Tian first called Sister Yun's house here, but no one answered.

I flew to New York with little Palo again and went to look at the house where I lived eight years ago, but no one was there.

It looks like no one has lived here for more than half a month, and no one has even swept the snow at the door.

In a letter a few years ago, Xia Tian learned that Sister Yun later bought the house where the two of them lived - it was rented at that time, and later she lived here most of the time when she was in the United States.

Since she is not in the United States... maybe this is fate!

Xiatian didn’t think too much about it, cheered up and called his friends.

First it was John Lone, then Michael Jackson...

These are the only acquaintances I have in the United States.

I knew Mike before, but we'd been exchanging more letters since then. He'd been helping me promote my novels quite a bit.

Otherwise, I would still be a niche best-selling author, but now I can remove the word niche.

This year, summer ranked 28th on the list of best-selling novels in the United States.

It is not easy for a writer who writes horror and suspense themes to make it onto this list. The only horror and suspense writer who ranks ahead of Summer is Stephen King!
This is also the reason why some people began to want to hoard Xia Tian’s copyright. The accumulation of the past few years, plus his appearance on the list this year, has made many people notice him.

The work on the list this year is "The Witch", a religious-themed work I wrote in Hong Kong!
You know what, when it was first launched, it was a hot topic of discussion.

Even some churches have named and told believers not to watch it.
For Puritans, this novel goes straight to the "underlying code".

But Americans nowadays are so rebellious. The more you forbid them to watch, the more curious they will be and they will have to see it.

After watching it, I couldn't help but get chills, and then excitedly discussed it with my friends.

The book topped the sales charts of the month within half a month of being on the market, and remained at the top for six consecutive weeks!

……

Compared to Sister Yun’s inability to meet, Zunlong and Mike arrived very quickly.

That afternoon, Xia Tian saw Zun Long and Mike in a hotel.

They arrived faster than Xia Tian, ​​but because they were both called by Xia Tian, ​​they had an awkward chat for a long time.

Michael is undoubtedly an international superstar, while Brother John Lone is a little-known Broadway actor and a third-tier Hollywood actor.

However, the two of them did manage to chat with each other, and the first topic they talked about was summer.

Secondly, both of them had terrible childhoods, but their personalities are quite compatible.

Not to mention John Lone, he didn't know who his parents were since he was a child. He was adopted and sent to a theater to learn Peking Opera. He suffered a lot.

Although Michael has a father and a mother, he even has seven or eight brothers and sisters.

But his father had already made a plan for them to debut since they were young. Basically, they started learning musical instruments and singing at a certain age, practiced for a certain number of hours every day, and then performed on the streets.

If you slack off at all, he will beat and scold you. A true wolf dad!

The brothers and sisters didn't have much affection for their father, but rather fear. Just one look from him would make them nervous for a long time.

However, unlike other children with the same experience, Michael showed amazing musical talent and later became successful!

In 72, 14-year-old Michael released his own single.

He is also the youngest artist in American history to have a number one single.

In the decades that followed, he seemed to be possessed, and his career in music and art became smoother and smoother.

In 82, his album "Thrill" topped the US music charts for 37 consecutive weeks, setting a record of 1.11 million copies sold. It also became the originator of the modern music video!
Before this, singers in music videos usually just sang and danced, but Michael Jackson not only sang and danced in this MV, but also created a unique plot.

After singing a song, the audience felt like they had watched a short film, so he is also known as the inventor of contemporary MV.

——MV is the abbreviation of Music Video, which is what we usually call music video.

Didn’t you participate in the “Let the World Be Filled with Love” Hundred Stars Concert organized by China before in the summer?

The reason for the event was because the island watched a group of European and American stars hold a concert called "One World, One Family" during the World Peace Year to raise funds for starving children in Africa, called "Let the World Be Filled with Love"...

It is said that Michael wrote the song "We Are the World" in two and a half hours.

Many heavyweight artists entered the recording studio and spent an entire night recording this highest-grossing single in the history of recording art.

Subsequently, more than 6000 million US dollars in record revenue was sent directly to the disaster areas in Africa.

Mike, this guy can do it!
