The title "King of Pop" is enough to demonstrate Michael Jack's status in the entertainment industry.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if he were just standing there, he could become the center of a media frenzy.
Lin Lixin is in the same situation.
Now, the two have been spotted by paparazzi entering and leaving Hollywood together.
There were even photos of Michael's private car at Gamenova's headquarters.
The two vortexes of traffic collided.
In an instant, both the music and gaming industries were in an uproar.
It hasn't been long since Michael personally endorsed Sonic in an interview.
Before the discussion could even subside, he reappeared, this time with the God of Games.
This scene alone is enough to keep people in the industry talking about it for days and nights without being able to sleep.
And if someone could add fuel to the fire on top of that...
But no one expected that it would be the victim herself who made the move, and with such a major revelation.
Yes, I am indeed discussing collaborating on the development of a game with Mr. Lin.
[As Michael Jack said]
Michael Jack surprisingly accepted the interview invitation and openly revealed the matter.
"Initially, I went to Lin's home to thank him for everything he had done for Neverland Ranch. In Gamenova, I saw the ' Neverland Ranch ' that belonged to the players."
"I suggested that we develop a game with me as the main character, and then..."
As Michael recounted the events in detail, the truth of the whole incident came to light.
Gamenova is developing a brand new video game starring Michael Jack!
This incident quickly dominated the headlines of major media outlets within a single day.
Local gossip newspapers, radio stations, and major television news programs almost all chose to dedicate an extra issue to this matter.
Whoever gets to know this news first will be able to capture as much traffic as possible.
However, before any media outlets could even finish writing their articles, Gamenova's most loyal partner, Electronic Games, had already printed a special edition and sent it to shelves overnight. Accompanying the publication was a Close-Up illustration of Michael himself, dressed in a dark black bodysuit, striking his signature moonwalk in a studio.

Upon seeing this unique cover photo and the words "Exclusive Scoop," reporters from various media outlets, who were still working through the night to finish their articles, immediately felt dizzy and disoriented.
Well, all that effort for nothing. They have inside information.
Regardless of how heated the outside world was about it, Lin Lixin and Michael, who were at the center of the incident, had no interest in paying attention to any of that nonsense.
Even for this interview, Michael only made a special trip because Lin Lixin asked him to handle the publicity.
It's simply because these two days happen to be the busiest time of the year.
Despite not knowing much about game development, Michael himself was responsible for all aspects of the game's action sequences, sound effects, and music design.
He had to meticulously plan when to use which sound, and when to play which song.
Meanwhile, Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic are also working around the clock to process the motion data.
As for Gamenova headquarters, they were also working at full capacity on development. "Charge up by rotating, then unleash a powerful attack [ 45-Degree Lean ], wiping out the entire screen!"
"Let's design this hat-throwing move like a boomerang; the hat will spin back after it flies out, causing a second instance of damage..."
"Why not include the robot from the movie ' Moonwalker '?"
As more and more information is released, the hearts of fans are getting increasingly anxious.
Holy crap, that's inhuman!
They just announced the second generation of Pokémon not long ago, and before we'd even heard anything about it, they've quietly dropped another bombshell.
Isn't this just letting people die?
They endured until the end of March, when the fans, who had gone completely mad, finally got to see the promotional PV for Gamenova.
In the darkness of night, a figure slowly entered the alley under the moonlight.
He quickly straightened his clothes, adjusted his fedora, and then strode briskly to a stop in front of a club with a sign that read "[30s]".
He was wearing a white suit with a blue lining. Although the camera didn't show his face clearly, everyone could still recognize him.
After all, such a classic screen image is probably unique to him throughout history.
Michael Jack, the King of Pop.
This scene is clearly a remake of the opening sequence of last year's musical " King of Crime ".
But the classic Gamenova logo at the beginning already told the audience that this was definitely not that simple.
"Call--"
The club door was pushed open, and amidst the oncoming white mist and bright light, the camera finally focused on his face.
Michael Jack looked up, gently adjusted the brim of his hat, and then walked in without hesitation.
There were quite a few people inside the club.
Everyone stopped what they were doing because of the unexpected visitor.
The men were all dressed in dark long suits and felt hats, just as the sign at the entrance suggested.
This place resembles a bar scene from 1930s Chicago. Michael's white suit stands out starkly against the backdrop of uniform black.
They were clearly in a crisis, trapped in enemy territory.
However, he showed no fear whatsoever, simply flicking his suit jacket to reveal one of his trouser pockets.
This posture makes him look like a cowboy preparing to draw his gun and fire.
However, he simply pulled a coin from his pocket.
Then, he tossed it up with his hand.
The coin soared high through the air above the venue and landed in the jukebox in the corner.
"Aww!"
As the powerful drumbeats and Michael Jack's signature shouts rang out simultaneously, the camera suddenly shifted to a 45-degree overhead view.
It wasn't until then that everyone suddenly came to their senses.
I'm so excited! Here are some actual gameplay screenshots!
Although it's a top-down perspective, the level of detail in the visuals is incredibly impressive. The white suit and fedora are perfectly recreated in the game. Both the scene textures and the textures of the protagonist and enemies are highly accurate.
Although the pixelated look still persists due to limitations in hardware, Gamenova has found a solution that had been tested before, effectively addressing this issue.
That is... smoothness!
With its ultra-fast-paced action design just like Metal Slug, every move Michael and his enemies make is so smooth it feels like they're performing themselves.
Especially Michael himself, with his silky moonwalk, that turn while adjusting his hat...
Aside from the slightly low resolution, it's practically a photo of the person in the picture.
For a moment, it even gave one the Mew feeling that "Gamenova simply lowered the resolution of the recorded footage."
Accompanied by the already strong drumbeats of " Smooth Criminal," Michael continuously performed dazzling dance moves.
And those enemies were actually knocked to the ground one by one by this action, as if the action really had some kind of magic that truly defeated them.
However, as the music progressed, the situation began to become increasingly critical.
The enemy had clearly received the signal and began sending reinforcements to the scene.
With the number of people growing to an unmanageable level, Michael seemed to realize that things couldn't continue like this.
So he suddenly pushed off with both feet and lightly leaped onto a piano that was placed there.
The iconic toe-standing posture.
The note falling on the piano did not disrupt the beautiful singing; instead, it created a perfect accent.
Then, he suddenly pointed to the sky.
Suddenly, all the enemies present stood up straight, and then, surprisingly, they started dancing along with him.
Suddenly, his former enemies became his personal backup dancers.
After completing a full dance sequence, he gently adjusted the brim of his hat, straightening it which had been slightly disheveled by the movements.
Immediately afterwards...
Michael, along with all the enemies present, tilted forward in perfect unison.
Lean forward at a 45-degree angle!
As Michael spun around once more in a flash, striking a heavy note on the piano, all the enemies present suddenly froze, knocked to the ground.
Michael Jack's Moonwalk

Ask all gamers in the world, no, not just gamers.
Anyone in the world, including MJ's fans, would probably find it hard to contain their excitement after watching this promotional PV.
For players, this is a fast-paced, top-down action game unlike any other.
For MJ fans, this is a video game that MJ himself participated in developing, and they absolutely must try it out!
According to official information, this work is not just about licensing the character's appearance to Gamenova.
This is a genuine video game developed entirely with MJ's involvement. It's also a groundbreaking work that has never been done before, and may never be repeated!
Regardless of the reasoning, anyone who can resist playing this probably has quit drugs.
After the initial shock and silence came a grand explosion.
It was a nationwide frenzy that swept the country in an instant.
Within minutes, Silicon Oasis, which had been acquired by Gamenova, was inundated with phone calls.
This time it's even more popular than ever before.
Because the callers included not only distributors from various regions.
This time, the owners of various arcades didn't even bother contacting distributors; they called Silicon Oasis headquarters directly.
However, if that's all there is to it, then it's barely manageable.
But this time it's different...
"Don't tell me this isn't a console game. A $1,000 deposit? Who do you think you are? I'm buying one to put in my house!"
Who says arcade games can't be played at home?
