"I like this light, yes, it needs more." Michael Jackson in the film was a little excited, tapping the director's shoulder, and pointing the other hand at the monitor. This is the beginning of the "Earth song" they are recording together. The image is in the gap between the alternate rotations of the two planets. The light that has just been blocked is radiating little by little. As we will see later, the greatest glory of this empire rises from the head of its artist. The greatest artist of this empire fell before the empire was revived again.
Let us go back to the beginning of the establishment of the empire, when all kinds of voices gradually converged, admiring the outstanding talents of the city builders. People are paying attention to how he directed his workers to use music as a moat around the city wall, and make it sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm, sometimes spreading, and sometimes gathered together to sing melancholy songs. No one can see clearly. The details are gradually no longer concerned. Go down the steps and arrive at the square that is tiled like a mirror. We can see houses with various spires and domes, pointing to the highest bell tower in turn, countless large and small bells hanging at different heights, and 10,000 bells ringing every evening. This is the most commendable place in the empire. All buildings are arranged in accordance with the rhythm of dance and the beauty of music. They are accurate within the strict limits of the twelve equal temperament. People say that this city is mobile and music. Yes, it's dancing. There is no doubt that he is Michael Jackson's first.
All praises have their reasons and they must belong to them. People need such a person to accept worship. Naturally, the city builder must bear the title of king. He will not have the elements that left the empire even for a second. ——Music, dance, performing arts, and the beauty of nature are more like a gene in his body, which gradually stabilizes the structure of his empire, but this is not enough to maintain the operation of the empire, and even, we feel it later , The control of the empire is not in his hands. Similar empires need a wealthy buyer and patron. Their funds are a kind of support and erosion. Compared with the art of building a city, they want to win. The attention of people outside the empire. Even if it is not the city that the king wants in the end. In this way, we are more concerned about our attention.
We country folks outside the empire have lost patience with the efficiency of city building, at least when I am alone, I can’t help but think about it. People here don’t actually care whether the empire is good or not. We will always move. I don't enter that place, but I want it to make some noise, a big noise, to put it bluntly, I just want to know what the king is doing? Later, when I went out, I would find that such discussions could be heard everywhere in pubs and restaurants outside the empire. There was an impulse of suspicion in the crowd. It turned out that I was not the only one who was gloomy. Until one day, many people didn’t care. Xuan but the long-awaited scandal finally appeared. The jokes about the king were compiled by the most adept drunkards and brokers. People are eager to see that the great does not exist, the sublime is shattered, and everyone is better to be kept at an average level. Self-comfort and ease of identity anxiety. We have a revolutionary enthusiasm for figuring out the so-called truth. There is nothing more pleasant than throwing a king from the throne into the pigpen. Let’s do it now. The fortresser had been glorified, money, and the title of king. He didn’t know whether he was willing to accept it, or he hadn’t thought about this problem at all. Obviously, many people outside this empire who depend on him for food have chosen other ways. The influence of the empire is reflected in the more and more eye-catching of his so-called king. Buyers and patrons used this to implement their ambitious expansion plans. In the fairs outside the empire, insiders exchanged All kinds of news about the king in exchange for rations and a moment of psychological satisfaction. In the absence of too much news, rumors and slander continue to occur every day. After the critics overturned previous thesis on the art of fortification, they still did not forget to conclude that this city builder was a monster and possessed a perverted heart. They regretted that the empire was actually worthless. As for the city builder himself, it was the face of the times. A scar, sympathizes with the decline of genius, and feels happy with peace of mind.
But they all forgot, here in Michael Jackson, this empire exists, and under Michael Jackson's control, the concert becomes a religion. This movie called "This Is It" records the fragments that happened after this. Now we can only see a part of it. However, as an audience, facing this film that naturally reveals when Michael Jackson is not paying attention, I think it may already contain all the aspects required by the architectural empire. If it cannot be called an elegant documentary, it should also become a precious material for the collection and research of all city builders. There are many issues that need to be clarified, such as viewing. Is the glory of seeing as simple as imagined? For example, how should most people face their jobs? What are the basic attitudes and abilities required to become a person in control of the overall situation? How the empire’s bricks, stones, plants and trees were arranged, repaired, and perfected, and finally came to an abrupt end. I wrote the review as a novel because I talked too much about the king in the past, and it was not enough to accurately memorize every word he said, and now I have to think about whether I should follow the direct intuition like him more often. , Follow your own heart, what I am going to talk about next is about the movie "JUST IT". Before that, you'd better not believe in the description of history.
Slightly sorting out the chronological sequence in the logic of the film, the beginning of the film should actually be the day when MJ appeared at the press conference a few months ago.
"I will start touring in the UK. This is my curtain call. That's it." After a standard MJ-style turn, this thin back figure who was ridiculed by the frightened media and questioned by the audience gradually left and returned to his own territory. Wang, we generously gifted him this false name, which is more like an advertisement. After this turn around, the revival plan of the music empire began to vigorously start. Now you have to look forward to the empire you have never seen before. This is not the self-expression of an actor, a genius, or an artist as we are talking about. It is made up of him, his craftsmen, army, and supporters, made up of endless love and fantasy, and made up of the empire. The people aspire to convey all the composition to people outside the empire. Pop music is worthy of being called an empire here. Not because of who his king is, but what his king did. To lead such a huge revival plan, from a vertical perspective, as a designer, executor, manager, and performer, he has integrated every detail in the entire process. From a horizontal perspective, talent and personality charm alone are not enough. At this time, the king is more like an old Spartan warrior who last stood at the hot spring pass, maintaining a persevering posture. The empire of popular music is heading towards the twilight. On the other side, amidst the interference of scandals, slander, and rumors, the empire has become more and more like a joke. And MJ's naive and resolute, humble and sober character is undoubtedly revealed in this process. The valuable thing about this expansion is that it basically follows the principle of objective presentation of recorded images. It requires the recorder's own voice to radiate. There is no doubt that keeping a distance from the genius is the greatest respect for the genius.
In the first step of this plan, the empire is looking for the most competent artists as its subjects. Dancers from different races from all over the world flock here to perform their best on the stage, for fear that they are not outstanding enough, because MJ has already appeared. Below the stage, the real selection began. The dancers who were announced to pass wept with joy and fainted with happiness. They looked at each other and told about their hardships and unspeakable happiness to enter the empire. "Because he is Michael Jackson, I can be on the same stage as Michael Jackson." Do you need to say more? ? Since the empire once had such glory, the artist is willing to fight shoulder to shoulder with the king in its new revival plan.
He always has to achieve the ultimate in everything. I can’t forget that before "They Don't Care About us", when MJ came to the scene, he personally took these newly selected artists to rehearse while choreographing. According to his vision, The dance will be combined with movie stunts to create the effect of an array of one million robotic policemen. Every artist has been carefully selected. They may have made a lot of achievements in their original place, but beside MJ, they watched every movement of MJ incomparably, for fear of missing any details.
When he suddenly stopped and asked to turn his back to the screen, the director asked him how to see the images on the screen to match his actions. After thinking about it, he said, "Let’s feel it with my back." A keen intuition and overall control. Confidence is convincing.
During the shooting of "Thriller", he stared next to the monitor and loudly instructed the actors how to act. "Look up and take a look at the screen. It's great." When boarding the elevator on "beat it", the director asked him If there is any requirement, he said, "Don't be like this, you know, I will only ask for more." Not long before this, he had just suffered a little injury from this device.
In the process of repeatedly running in with the keyboard player, he showed an extraordinary sense of music and auditory memory. For a musician, MJ's prompt description is so accurate, and the requirements are harsh to the degree. Yes, that's it. The semitone you just played "must be half a beat slowly" and "begins to spread like moonlight" while he muttered to himself, using his own subtle body language to explain the trouble." Be gentle like this. "
He also instructs young female guitarists how to perform, and generously gifted her the opportunity to be watched by the world." At this time, the light will only shine on you. You need to pop that at this time. "Treble" he yelled "Ao", it is hard to imagine that the voice is exactly the super high pitch on the guitar position. The familiarity with the pitch and the stage performance made me see the experience and expressiveness, and patiently supported the newcomers. And taking care of him showed me the qualities that a mentor should have. "When you are there, I will stand with you."
Countless times have emphasized the importance of love. Even when the sound engineer hurt his eardrums, he did not furious like a normal king, but said roundly, "If the mixing is too serious, my ears will feel like being fisted all the time." Just like poking in, to love, all because of love, you know, so I can’t use my real hearing"
"MJ, do you feel something is wrong? What kind of mix do you need? You can just say that there is a problem. "
Look, we have to love each other, it will be like a fist stuck in." He stretched his fist into his ear, like a child who was wronged after being misunderstood by an adult,
"MJ, how do you want the sound? direct proposed "
he hesitated for a long time, say it is a little aggrieved smile and a tear, then" I just want you to sound a little small tune, "
you will not always be able to meet such empathy and care for the feelings of others As an artist, he chooses his own attitude towards others and feels embarrassed for his slightly special requirements.
I can’t ignore his age. He and a group of people twenty years younger than him are doing their best in rehearsal, rolling on the floor like a burning flame, even in the audience formed by the on-site staff, he will do his best. Slightly relaxed during singing. Shameful apology "I'm sorry, I want to save a little voice, I have a lot behind me, I want to save a little bit"
"But, MJ, you can't help it anymore" The staff in the audience urged him , All raised their hands on top of their heads and applauded.
"This... don't do that, I want to save a little voice, you don't have to save" he pointed to the female singer next to him who sang with him, stammering and said embarrassingly, "but I want to save, I will sing later, I will save a little "
he humming a tune to dance to freely play the keyboard, the tension followed him to pick out the keyboard division," want me to write it down? you just hum "look! Without this documentary, I can't imagine that the King composes the music in this way, not even using pencils, let alone any college textbooks. In the rehearsal with the harmony actors, he also hummed a little blues melody at will. Two people come and go, relying on feeling and experience to find notes in the harmony frame. No notation or recording is required. You can move the music that has just been matched to the official performance as it is.
Every rehearsal is like the last time in a lifetime. Don’t miss singing, dancing, stage installations, effects, fireworks, flames, elevators, LCD screens, Don’t miss the costumes, don’t miss the guitarist, bass, drums and music director, don’t miss the 3D production, don’t miss the movie presentation, don’t miss the props, don’t miss the title, don’t miss the audience. Front, don’t let the sound, don’t let the harmony, don’t let the rap actor, don’t let the code butt to prompt the next action, don’t let it go, should it be a little bit to the right or left on the stage, don’t let the light up The exact time of the whole body, no opportunity to communicate with the staff, and all consideration of the audience, even if people outside the empire think that popular music is just a commercial manipulation, they will not miss the quality and self-cultivation. People outside the empire are still talking about scandals and slanders that have never been seen before, but they do not let go of love, fantasy, and innate simplicity.
If you really follow his journey again, your tears will surely flow to your throat, let me finish the last chapter of the history of this musical empire. This is more like a fable. After the death of the king, we are among the empires. Country people from outside flocked to the gate of the city. One day, one of the brave people pushed the gate first and found that they were already free to go in and out. The patrons and buyers of the empire welcomed everyone, and they began to commemorate it. The king's various activities, the actors who imitated the king became popular, and some of them had even completely transformed their appearances into the appearance of the king. We countrymen outside of the empire suddenly opened up their minds and poured in from the city gates. Between the high and low steps of the empire and the large and small domes, we chanted the name of the king, all All of them became the king’s clerks and supporters overnight. Then, some people slowly began to question whether the threshold of the empire had been lowered. Some people began to check the history of other people, revealing the bottom of the counterfeiters and those who had just changed. Begin to show off their qualifications in supporting the king. Some people are writing their own history related to the king. Outside the empire and within the empire, everyone has become a kind of person, and will no longer tolerate any disrespectful words and attacks on the king. It's as if we have always respected him so much.
But he is dead. This is the only thing I can be sure of in a person's empire history. He hasn't slept much in recent years, but died in an unaccompanied bed.
