The following is an excerpt from the just-released book, 'Tell to Win':
Once you’ve got your hero, what gets the emotion moving? What holds us spellbound, begging for more? Michael Jackson taught me in no uncertain terms, the answer is drama.
Back in 1991, Jackson already was a force to be reckoned with. After renewing his contract with Sony for a record-setting $65 million, he released his eighth album, "Dangerous¸" with the singles “Black hoặc White” and “Remember the Time,” both of which dominated the pop charts. As CEO of Sony Pictures, I’d sat in on the studio production of that album and was overwhelmed bởi Michael’s creative intensity and perfectionism.
His ambition knew no bounds. But when Sony’s most important musical asset invited me to his trang chủ in Encino to discuss his plans to get into phim chiếu rạp and television, I was taken aback. Michael had proven he knew everything there was to know about pop music, but phim chiếu rạp were a different animal. He wanted to produce as well as act. That meant telling stories. Could he do it?
I didn’t even have to ask the question. “In both films and music,” Michael said, “you have to know where the drama is and how to present it.” He gave me a long, intense stare and abruptly stood up. “Let me hiển thị you.”
He led me upstairs to the hallway outside his bedroom, where we stopped in front of a huge glass terrarium. “This,” he said, “is Muscles.”
Inside, a massive snake was coiled around a cây branch. His head was tracking something in the opposite corner of the terrarium.
Michael pointed with his finger at the object of Muscles’ obsession. A little white chuột was trying to hide behind a pile of wood shavings.
I đã đưa ý kiến hopefully, “Are they friends?”
“Do they look it?”
“No. The chuột is trembling.”
Michael said, “We have to feed Muscles live mice, otherwise he won’t eat. Dead ones don’t get his attention.”
“So why doesn’t he just go ahead and eat it?”
He said, “Because he enjoys the game. First he uses fear to get the mouse’s attention, then he waits, building tension. Finally, when the chuột is so terrified it can’t move, Muscles will close in.”
That snake had the attention of that mouse, and that chuột had the attention of that snake -- and Michael Jackson had my attention.
“That’s drama,” he said.
“It sure is!” I said. “This story has everything -- stakes, suspense, power, death, good and evil, innocence and danger. I can’t stand it. And I can’t stop watching.”
“Exactly,” he said. “What’s going to happen next? Even if bạn know what it is, bạn don’t know how hoặc when.”
“Maybe the chuột will escape.”
Michael let out one of his high, strange laughs. “Maybe.”
If I’d had the slightest doubt about Jackson’s command as a teller of stories, it evaporated that day. His telling to win profoundly and clearly taught me that nothing grabs our attention faster than the need to know what happens next?
Back at UCLA, I asked Dan Siegel to help me understand from his perspective as a neuroscientist why people are so enthralled bởi drama. Siegel pointed out that emotions don’t occur spontaneously. Nor, as any actor knows, can they be summoned at will. Emotions have to be aroused. “And arousal gets heightened,” Siegel said, “when bạn realize, I don’t know if the mountain lion’s still there; I don’t know if the spaceship is going to get back; I’m not sure he’s going to win the race. bạn have to have tension between expectation and uncertainty. Emotional tension drives bạn to think it might go this way, but it might go that way, and that makes bạn wonder, what will happen next?”
The thêm bạn wonder what will happen next, the thêm bạn pay attention. And the thêm attention bạn pay, the thêm bạn hear, notice, and retain.
One reason I was so helplessly enthralled as I watched Michael Jackson’s chuột and snake was that they were enacting a story of primal desire and dread. Somewhere deep in our DNA, we all have this story lurking because, at some stage of our evolution, if not in our thêm immediate existence, we lived this story. We were the weaker prey that hid trembling inside the cave from the saber-tooth lurking outside.
Of course, most business storytellers don’t need to set dramatic stakes as high as death hoặc survival. But even business stories are told best if they trigger the conflict between dread and desire. Desire is a core human need which in business may translate as landing a job, motivating employees, keeping an account, impressing a boss, successfully launching a product, hoặc securing a brand. The thêm we desire something, the greater our fear of not achieving it. And that emotional tension engages your audience because it makes them feel “what’s in it for them.”

Ok we need to stop and relize about what we're doing here. There is altot of people who will pretend to be a fan. Of a famouse person,just to make friends. But really we don't have to be a fake fan. We should be Những người bạn we both have out likes and dislikes. This is NOT what Michael want us to do is fight. Fighting never ever solve anything so just STOP. Just forgive and forget this ever happend. I just do have to say this DO NOT put any rude các bình luận on other peoples post. We are not healing the world bởi fighing we're ruining it. Michael would be so upset with us if he was talking to us he will make us take a time out.
I tình yêu bạn ALL!
THANKS FOR đọc THIS.

Presley 'didn't turn her back' on Jackson:
Michael Jackson's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley has fought back rumours that she ignored an SOS message from the 'Thriller' singer before his death.
Elvis's daughter was reported to be wracked with guilt over her dismissal of a voicemail from Jackson 2 years cách đây in which he đã đưa ý kiến he was losing control of his life.
A nguồn apparently told us Weekly: [Jackson] đã đưa ý kiến he needed [presley's] help because his life was spinning out of control and begged her to call him But she never did. She kept saying ''I should've done something'' and blames herself.
Presley's spokesperson dismissed the reports as rubbish saying: ''I don't believe this is true''
