    "Is this the hotel where advertising investors stay?" The five Michael Jackson brothers followed their manager out of the airport, took the vehicle of the local branch of Columbia Records, drove 21 kilometers, and crossed the majestic San Francisco Bridge.  As we drove onto the wide avenue into the city, we unexpectedly turned into a narrow street from the streets with high-rise buildings on both sides.  This is an uphill road, with low buildings on both sides. The highest is only five stories, and most of them are two or three stories.  The buildings are old, some are made of cement, and some are old-fashioned wooden buildings, which look very shabby.  Michael felt like he was back in the black neighborhood, which was just as old and shabby.  It's just that it's not as chaotic as the black area, and there are no gangsters armed with knives and robbing people everywhere.  When he stood in front of a wooden building that looked very old, looking at the signboard with incomprehensible characters outside, he felt like he was in a foreign country.  When he turned around and saw the buildings in the distance from the rooftop, he confirmed that he was still in the United States.  "Yes, this is Chinatown! The company that is looking for you to shoot an advertisement this time has a Chinese boss. He likes to live in places with many Chinese people, so you have no choice but to come here to meet him!" The agent shrugged and said helplessly  .  At this time, Michael was not as popular as he was later. He was just one of many black singers.  Michael started out as a child star. He practiced singing, dancing and other musical basics under the strict guidance of his father who loved music and was good at electric guitar since he was a child. He also performed in a small band to earn extra money.  Therefore, he had a very unhappy childhood. Later, he said in a talk show that his childhood was spent in the recording studio under the guidance of his father.  Maybe it¡¯s because they want their children to succeed, or maybe they want to use their children to make money. In short, the five Michael brothers have received extremely strict training since they were young.  In 1964, when he was only six years old, Michael and his brothers began to appear on the professional stage as the "Michael Five Brothers". With their good singing and dancing skills, they gained recognition and became one of the singers of a budding child star band.  When he was twelve years old, his lead single hit the top of the charts and he became famous ever since.  By the year before last, the five Michael brothers were officially spotted by Columbia Records, signed as its singers, and raised Jackson's status to a higher level. The group was renamed the "Michael Jackson Band".  At this time, he was somewhat famous.  The record company signed him not for charity, but to make money and make more money.  The value of a singer is not only to release a few records and travel around, but also to earn from advertising.  Since the Chinese can afford the money, they will accept it. As for where the boss personally prefers to live, they don¡¯t care.  The hotel was small and dark. They walked up the creaking wooden stairs to the second floor.  Fortunately, the Chinese boss was not waiting for them in a small dark room, but rented the living room on the second floor of the hotel as a reception venue, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.  Although it is not spacious and bright here, everyone can finally sit down.  "Welcome, welcome, I'm Guan Fei!" Guan Fei stepped forward with a smile, stretched out his hand to them, and said in Chinese.  The official language of the Interstellar Republic of China is Mandarin.  Since there is no need to interact with other interstellar countries, besides reading and writing, personal hobbies are one thing, but there are no official requirements for citizens.  For some international scientific and technological materials, it is enough if you can understand the original text, and face-to-face communication is not necessary.  So just like Cantonese, Guan Fei can understand it, but can't speak it.  Yu Dehai acted as a temporary translator and quickly translated these words in English to Michael and his party.  "Are you the investor?" Michael's band manager looked at Guan Fei, then at the surrounding environment, and frowned. He really didn't want to stay in a place like this for a long time.  He reluctantly said: "Then let's get straight to the point, shall we? What are your requirements for this commercial shooting? In addition, regarding the script, can you give us a look in advance?" "Okay!" Guan Fei didn't wait for Yu Dehai to translate.  , and asked Li Qing to take out the script he had prepared and handed it over.  "The script was very simple. It was on the basketball court. Two groups had a conflict while playing basketball. At this time, Michael came here, played music and danced to the music. Under his leadership, others also joined in.  , the fighting ended. The theme is not to fight, but to use music and dance to settle disputes." Guan Fei briefly introduced the script and snapped his fingers at the end, "By the way, I still want to get this plot right.  , I made up a dance, and then Michael just needs to dance it as it is!¡± The agent quickly turned over the script and heard it!Here, he suddenly stopped in astonishment.  The advertising script is indeed very simple, just like the MTV they shot. It has a good meaning. Using music and dance to calm disputes will be a good word for external publicity and sales. Whether it is an advertisement or a music video, it is a good idea.  But He plucked his ears vigorously and tried to ask politely: "Sir, I would like to take the liberty to ask, you just said that you made up a dance for this plot?" "Yes!"  Guan Fei nodded affirmatively.  Without saying a word, the agent immediately stood up and prepared to leave.  Michael is indeed not very popular right now. If the boss pays for it, it doesn¡¯t matter if he is asked to shoot an advertisement. Business is business. As long as the request is reasonable, they will accept it.  But the other party specially choreographed the dance for Michael and asked him to perform accordingly What a joke!  This will destroy Michael!  It is very difficult for a star, whether it is a movie star, a singer or a dancing star, to become famous, but to ruin him, all it takes is one mistake!  A foreigner, or a Chinese who can¡¯t even speak English, comes and says, ¡°I choreographed a dance for Michael Jackson.¡± What¡¯s the rhythm of this?  What a tireless rhythm!  They would rather not make this little money than watch Michael's image in the eyes of fans collapse.  "If I were you, I would watch this dance first before making a decision!" Guan Fei also stood up, but did not step forward to stop him. He just crossed his fingers and placed them on his lower abdomen and said with a smile.  Yu Dehai quickly translated this paragraph.  The agents all walked to the stairs. After thinking about it, they turned around again and grinned reluctantly: "Okay." For the sake of money, just endure it for a few more minutes.  He warned himself that as a person who grew up in a country where money was paramount and surpassed others to become a qualified agent, it was acceptable for him to make certain sacrifices for money.  The five Michael brothers also heard the previous negotiation and sat down curiously.  They don¡¯t know that dance also exists in China, and they are still somewhat interested in this kind of dance technique from a foreign country.  Guan Fei looked at them with the same afro hairstyle, sitting together as if they had five stuffed balls on their heads, and he also laughed a little.  This is their external image, which can also be said to be their performance image. For a child star band, it is most appropriate to attract fans by acting cute.  ¡°But as they get older, this hairstyle becomeswell, weirder.  Michael is one of the many singers who can leave his name in the history of global music, and his achievements can be described as great.  Guan Fei heard his song from the interstellar Internet database, but he didn't have much impression. After all, it was a song hundreds of years ago. It was unique at that time. However, in the history of music development for hundreds of years, this kind of song has become  No longer has much appeal.  But the dance form he created is still popular.  With the help of Yu Dehai, Li Qing hung up the curtain in the reception room, then set up the projector, adjusted the focus, and nodded to Guan Fei.  "Let's start!" Guan Fei ordered.  The curtains in the room have been drawn and the lights have been turned off. There is no other light source except the reflection on the curtain.  The projector buzzed, and a countdown of 7654321 appeared at the beginning of the film.  When the image appeared, music suddenly sounded in the room. It turned out that Yu Dehai was watching the countdown and pressed the play button of the portable recorder in real time.  The agent didn¡¯t look at the curtain for the first time, but at the weird tape recorder.  He just saw Yu Dehai carrying the tape recorder and moving behind the curtain, so he paid more attention.  At this moment, the music sounded, and he unconsciously used his professional judgment to analyze the playback effect of the recorder.     not bad!  As an agent of a record company, he has seen and heard the effects of many high-end speakers. Out of preference, he also bought a home stereo.  It was a big thing one meter high and sixty centimeters wide. With two huge speakers, it took up almost a third of the wall space.  As for the small cassette recorder, he has also seen it, which is needed in field workplaces.  As for the effect, it is extremely poor!  But the music coming from the speakers on both sides of the front of this weird portable recorder in front of me is pretty good.     very nice!  The agent does not consider himself to be a golden ear, but after many years of practical work, he can also distinguish some subtle differences.??.  This recorder is not big, but the volume it produces is not small, and the treble is penetrating, clear and transparent, and the bass is thick and heavy, with a heavy metal effect.  In terms of sound quality, it is still slightly inferior to desktop speakers, but the difference is not big.  ¡°If it weren¡¯t for a professional like him, most people wouldn¡¯t be able to tell the difference between the two if they closed their eyes.  What¡¯s more, it¡¯s convenient!  The handle above clearly illustrates the characteristics of this recorder, which can be carried around.  If he wants to listen to it in the living room, he can bring it to the living room. If he wants to listen to a song before going to bed, he can also easily bring it to the bedroom. It's so convenient!  With this thing, what else do you need a cassette recorder?  Compared with this recorder, which is not too big, the cassette recorder is just a waste of ears, it is just noise!  The manager didn¡¯t look at the curtain at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the music with great interest.  After listening for two minutes, he suddenly woke up.  He has never heard this song before!  From the style of music to the interpretation techniques, it is obviously black music at first glance. It is brisk, rhythmic, and the sound of metal explosions is deafening. It has a strong sense of presence.  But he could swear that there was no such song on the market!  This is a new song!  He jumped up from his seat in excitement, forgetting where he was at the moment, and rushed to the tape recorder. Based on the impression he just saw, he turned off the tape playback.  The powerful singing suddenly stopped.  "Hey, buddy, what are you doing?" The five Michael brothers were watching the dynamic dance on the curtain. They were so excited that they all stood up and danced to the music and the images on the curtain.  .  The song suddenly stopped, and there was only video but no music. This feeling suddenly woke them up from their intoxication, and they shouted angrily at their manager.  Yu Dehai is very good at observing words and emotions. When he saw the agent's actions, he just smiled proudly and did not move.  Li Qing didn't understand this. When he saw that the man was rude to the commander just now and now he was blatantly destroying the demonstration atmosphere created by the commander, his anger welled up and he wanted to rush up and teach him a lesson.  Guan Fei grabbed him, smiled and nuzzled at the agent, telling him to calm down and just calm down and take a look.  The broker ignored the subtle changes in the outside world and directly opened the tape warehouse and took out the tape.  The flickering projection light made it difficult for him to see the subtle text on the tape label.     Snapped!  After Brother Michael became angry, he also realized something was wrong.  Looking at his actions again, I suddenly understood and quickly helped to turn on the light.  With the bright light, the agent finally saw the handwritten text on the label, but before he could scream in surprise, he suddenly became depressed - there were several pictures on it that he couldn't understand. If he hadn't  You guessed it wrong, this is Chinese!  "This song" He raised his head, faced Guan Fei's teasing smile, and asked eagerly.  "I wrote this too! It was just prepared to go with this dance." Guan Fei said calmly and calmly, not ashamed of plagiarism.  ¡°It¡¯s your Michael Jackson song anyway, so it¡¯s only natural that I give it back to you.  Of course, because I kindly returned your song to you, so you shoot an advertisement for me and help me promote the portable recorder. This seems to be OK "Sell it to us!" The manager will do anything.  There was no time to think, and he immediately made the decision.  "Yes, but" Guan Fei hesitated and did not agree immediately.  The agent also woke up from the huge surprise at this time.  He turned to look at the five Michael brothers with joy in their eyes, and gave a hint of doubt.  "A very good dance! This is an authentic black street dance, but it has more elements than our common street dances. Even the robot dances we are used to seeing, there are many interpretations here, very good dances, I swear,  It will definitely be red!" Michael Jackson said excitedly with his face flushed and gesticulating with his hands and feet.  He is now in a semi-red state, which is the critical moment when he needs to move to the next level.  And this dance and this song can definitely take him to a higher level and become a famous star in the United States.  He loved this advertising shoot so much.  If the other party does not invite him first, if he finds someone else, he will miss the biggest opportunity in his life!  The agent no longer had any doubts.  He knows how to dance, but not much. He is definitely not as good as Michael.Brother, they are the experts in this field.  Since they said yes, there is absolutely no problem.  The next step is his job!  He stood up, with a flattering smile, and stretched out his hand to the tall Chinese: "Mr. Guan, I hope our cooperation this time will be pleasant! If you are free, we would also like to invite you to Washington.  , let¡¯s take a trip to the Columbia Records headquarters. I believe we will have more and greater cooperation opportunities in the future!¡±
