America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM

Chapter 220 219. Leading the trend

The program schedule for the Year of the Monkey Spring Festival Gala was finalized and announced a few hours before the broadcast, and sparked heated discussions after it was announced.

"Jay Chou, there is actually Jay Chou this year, I want to watch Jay, I want to listen to "Dragon Fist", it will definitely blow up the whole audience!"

"Mok Wenwei and Qi Qin will sing "The Outside World" together. I'm really looking forward to this show. Karen Mok's legs are so amazing and beautiful."

"Ming Ming, help me see who will be in this year's skit and cross talk?"

"Grandpa, don't worry. There are Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin, as well as Guo Da, Guo Donglin and Huang Hong. Anyway, all the familiar faces from the Spring Festival Gala are here this year. By the way, there is also Yan Shunkai. Don't you like this old man very much? .”

"Yan Shunkai has them all, oh, let me tell you, Yan Shunkai is my grandfather's childhood idol and memory. His performance in "The True Story of Ah Q" was so good that he is a national first-class actor. I forgot which year's Spring Festival Gala , he acted in "Zhang San Qi Ren", and I still remember a few lines."

"Okay, why don't you just take a nap first, and I'll call you when the show comes and then get up and watch it."

A middle-aged man took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, put it near his nose and smelled it, then nodded with a smile and drank it tonight.

The old man took a look and asked strangely: "Why are you reluctant to take out this wine? Isn't it your treasure? Aren't you reluctant to drink it?"

The son smiled and said: "Today is different from the past. This year's Spring Festival Gala invited a world superstar, who is my idol. I never expected to see him at the Spring Festival Gala one day. It is a dream come true. I must celebrate."

"Dad, who are you talking about? You are still chasing stars."

A middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen: "Why don't you chase her? Don't think that your parents are just old haters. We were also star chasers when we were young."

"But at that time, chasing stars was not as convenient as it is now. You couldn't fly around, and you couldn't go to concerts. You mainly used tapes and videos."

"Your dad was talking about Michael Jackson. At that time, your dad didn't know where he got the video tape. After watching it, he started to search for Jackson's audio and video materials and imitate others' moonwalking."

"Moonwalk? What is a moonwalk?"

"The dance created by Michael Jackson was so cool to dance. At that time, everyone around me was learning it, but now I can no longer do it. I have gained weight and my belly is too big, so I can't dance anymore."

The son, who is in junior high school, shook his head. Apparently he had no impression of his parents' idols. After all, he was not even ten years old when McQueen was the most popular, so how could he understand this.

Dad twisted his ankle a few times, as if he was looking for the feeling he had back then, but gave up after giving it a try.

"By the way, do you still remember the song you often listened to some time ago? It's called "rolling in the deep", and it was sung by Maikou."

"What! It's him!"

The son's eyes widened in surprise. He had heard this song too many times. Not only did he listen to it on MP3 and online, but it was also played in video stores and barber shops for a while. He couldn't even walk on the street without listening to it.

"The songs are great, but I still think Jay Chou is better as a singer. Just wait and see."

This scene that happened in an ordinary family in Yanjing was also played out in thousands of households across China.

Every era has its idols. It is rare for a star to be able to maintain his influence for ten years.

It is normal for the younger generation, especially the younger generation in non-Western countries, not to know about McNugget. Eric also did not know about it when he was a child.

But after tonight, his name will spread throughout the entire land of China.

In the CCTV studio hall, as the exciting BGM sounded, the black and red lights immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Those who thought of being in the toilet were involuntarily attracted to sit down.

I saw five backup dancers on the left and right wearing black suits, white shirts, red gloves and black hats walking onto the stage.

At the same time, five red ropes suddenly fell from the ceiling, and five more dancers in black suits fell from the sky in various poses.

Just the opening scene immediately shocked the entire audience and those in front of the TV. Their eyes seemed to be firmly attracted by magnets, and they could no longer leave the stage.

Many people suddenly felt that this performance was not just a song and dance, but was fundamentally different from other shows.

More than a dozen backup dancers performed various movements, with their feet swaying, their suits flying, and their ballet postures.

Under the black and red light, the stage looks messy, but it is very beautiful, highlighting the quality of a professional backup dancer.

Suddenly, the music suddenly jumped up a tune, and all the backup dancers fell down.

The backing dancer in the middle of the stage was flashing with countless fireworks. After he fell, the buttons of the same black suit and white shirt were revealed. The difference was that he was not wearing red gloves.

Mykko told Eric that after he understood the significance of the Spring Festival to the Chinese people, he originally wanted to wear a red jacket and sing a happy song.

However, after communicating with CCTV, CCTV still suggested that he wear a black suit and white shirt because this outfit is so classic.

Apart from him, no other singer can wear the inner scent.

After accepting CCTV's suggestion, McQueen chose to recreate the classic performance at the MTV Awards on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

On the stage, a close-up shot instantly focused on Maikou, and the exciting background music fell, replaced by quiet humming and crisp finger snaps.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

Accompanied by the snaps of fingers, the music of the masterpiece "dangerous" played, and Maikou twisted his body slightly, shaking his head slightly while walking forward slowly.

"The way she came into the place I knew right then and there."

"I noticed the steps she took when she walked in."

"There was something different about this girl."

"This girl is different."

"The way she moved her hair her face her lines."

"Her pace, her hair, her face, her elegant lines."

"Divinity in motion As she stalked the room."

"Every move she made when she stepped in seemed to have some kind of magical power."

A few murmurs, the sound may not seem loud, but it can be clearly conveyed to the ears of every audience.

Without understanding the lyrics, you can already clearly feel the mysterious and dangerous feeling.

boom!

Maikou's hand slowly rose and fell suddenly. The moment his hand touched his body, suddenly a violent drum beat sounded in the background, which was a perfect hit.

At the same time, the backup dancers in black suits who fell around seemed to be activated, and they stood up from the ground gracefully and stood behind Maibutu.

Although they are all big men with a height of 1.8 meters, when they dance, they are as soft and gliding as water snakes, full of freedom and naturalness.

"The girl is so dangerous, take away my money and throw away my time."

"This girl is really dangerous. Take my money and waste my time."

"You can call me honey, but you're no damn good for me."

"You can call me baby, but you're not going to do me any good."

"She came at me in sections with the eyes of desire."

"She walked up to me on the block, her eyes burning with desire."

"I feel trapped into her web of sin a touch a kiss a whisper of love."

"I fell into the sinful web she weaved with one caress, one passionate kiss, and one tender whisper."

The low singing continues, mechanical dance, jazz dance, lock dance, break dance, tap dance

Countless dance types have been integrated into this piece by Maikou. His posture is extremely graceful, and every dance step falls exactly on the same drum beat, which is like adding the finishing touch to the song.

For ordinary singing and dancing singers, music and dance steps are two separate systems, and it is rare to be able to be completely in tune.

What's more, the movements must be graceful, which is even more difficult.

Maikou's dance is integrated with the music. When the music reaches its climax, the dance steps must reach its climax.

When the dance steps reach a climax, the music must also reach a climax. The dance steps are equal to the rhythm.

When the music comes, you will feel it, and when you feel it, the dance steps will come!

In the audience at this moment, Jay Chou, Xie Xiaodong, Qi Qin, Karen Mok, Adu...

All professional singers, no matter what field they sing in, whether they are ethnic, popular or bel canto.

Everyone was staring at the man on the stage, watching him calmly and confidently draw out each dance step and make each action.

In the past, there was a chain of contempt in the music field. Classical despised jazz, jazz despised rock, rock despised folk, folk despised pop, and pop despised rap.

In a few more years, rap will despise shouting Mai, and shouting Mai will despise Pang Mailang.

But this moment no longer exists. No one feels noble anymore, and no one feels that their singing is superior to others.

Because that person on the stage has conquered the whole audience. In the past, they only heard his name but never saw him, so they had a sense of superiority in their hearts, but today they were all impressed.

Karen Mok looked at Qi Qin next to her: "Fortunately we took the stage before Michael Jackson, otherwise no one would have watched."

Qi Qinshen nodded in agreement. Although he was not a singer or dancer, even if he only listened to the songs, he was extremely accurate.

What's more, Maiqun was still dancing, and his breath showed no signs of confusion at all. Considering his age of over forty years old, it was simply unreasonable.

"The King of Pop in the world is truly worthy of his reputation. I suddenly feel very regretful."

"What do you regret?"

"I regret that I didn't fly to see Jackson's concert. He was at his true peak at that time. I also regret that I didn't ask for autographs and photos during the rehearsal. I might not have the chance after the show."

Jay Chou raised the corner of his mouth, came over to show off and said, "I'm coming, signed on the clothes, out of print!"

As singing and dancing singers, Lin Yilun and Xie Xiaodong understand the difficulties better. The more they understand, the more they admire them.

"He has a kingly aura about him. How did he train these backup dancers and why are they so uniform?"

Lin Yilun kept shaking his head, thinking about his stage effect, he was reduced to ashes instantly.

The Spice Girls and the Cuties are already looking at the little stars who are fans of the girls.

Singers such as Han Lei, Tian Zhen, Song Zuying, etc. were also in admiration.

At the same time, everyone felt sorry for the singer who was performing behind Michael Jackson.

The contrast is too strong and it is destined to be tragic.

"dangerous, the girl is so dangerous!"

"Danger, this girl is very dangerous!"

"Take away my money, throw away my time."

"Take my money and waste my time."

"You can call me honey, but you're no damn good for me."

"You can call me baby, but you'll do me no good."

"dangerous, the girl is so dangerous!"

"Danger, this girl is very dangerous!"

"I have to pray to god cause, I know how lust can blind."

"I just pray to God because I know how greed can blind people's minds."

"It's a passion in my soul."

"There is an urge hidden in my soul."

"but you're no damn lover friend of mine."

"But you are by no means my lover, let alone my friend."

Singing and dancing, Maikou is like a king, leading his guards on tour.

One moment it is a movement that cannot be distinguished without paying attention, and the next moment it is a twist with clear priorities and prominent corners.

The brim of the hat is pulled down, and the clasped feet are like butterflies in flowers, moving back and forth, left and right at an extremely fast speed.

This kind of dance step puts a heavy burden on the ankles, and most people are definitely not as natural and flexible as him.

"His rhythm has changed again, what a great adjustment ability."

"Not only is it powerful, fast and slow, moving and still, oblique and straight, violent and soft, all elements quickly move towards their opposites in his performance, and then quickly return to themselves."

"This dance is so pleasing to the eye. Is this the king who conquered the world?"

"Tingfeng, compared with Jackson, we are still far behind."

"It's nothing. I don't plan to sing anymore and focus on acting. Edison, you are an amphibious singer, so study hard."

"Fu Cheng, can you tell how many dance styles Jackson's dance steps incorporate?"

Aaron Kwok shook his head: "You need to watch the replays, his coverage is too broad."

"Husband, I feel like I have suddenly become a fan of Maikou. He sings so beautifully and dances even more handsomely!"

"Better than me?" Wang Feng asked.

"Well, much better." Ge Huijie nodded.

"Old Cui, this song obviously incorporates rock elements."

Cui Jian hummed: "Michael Jackson is a top music master. I have listened to his songs. "Beat It" and "Give In To Me" combine rock and roll very well. It's amazing!"

The singers and the audience inside the venue were shocked by the performance, and so were those outside the venue.

From the moment the program was announced, singers all over China were paying attention and staying in front of the TV, ready to appreciate the capabilities of the world's pop king.

But now they saw it, from the moment they saw it, they couldn't say anything except admiration.

Click!

Click!

Amidst the sounds of glass breaking, every time Maikou waved his hand, the backup dancer lying on the ground suddenly raised his upper body.

The extremely accurate stuck points make the movements full of power and impact.

At this point, the performance has lasted for more than 5 minutes.

You must know that the Spring Festival Gala's program arrangement is very tight. If one program is too long, other programs will have to be reduced.

Generally speaking, if singers are singing in a group, they can give them more time.

But in the case of a solo performance, let alone 5 minutes, 3 minutes is already very tolerant.

But after watching this show, I believe everyone will shut up.

No one complains that Maikou takes up a lot of time. I just hope he takes up more time. Free world-class performances, an unparalleled audio-visual feast, and more bicycles.

Ouch!

With a signature scream, all the backup dancers fell down.

Only the king is left standing on the stage!
