Chapter 76 "ck and White"
Even if you haven''t heard Michael Jackson''s songs or seen his photos, it is absolutely impossible not to have heard his name.
Although WeChat had not yet been born when he passed away, those yellow-haired, red men and dolls who followed the trend could not turn their circle of friends into a mourning hall. Just like mourning the lead singer of Linkin Park, they would express their grief for Michael Jackson''s death as Mushrooms have sprung up from the mud directly to the sky, but as the king of pop music, no matter which media is in the selection of the most influential celebrities in the world, he will not be excluded.
You know, the award-winning record he set was not equaled by Taylor Swift until ten years after his death.
As for when it will break?
Rnd estimated that he would have to wait another thirty years before seeing it.
As for whether his influence will be surpassed byter generations?
This question is like ady from Qingdao answering a reporter’s question ‘Do you think you can surpass Uncle Ge? ''Same.
‘This era won’t stop you from shining, but you can’t cover anyone else’s brilliance either. Because people used to be the creators of the world. At the time of ** movies, people are the filmmakers who created the era. We are just some juniors who move on, and we dare not make mistakes about this. ''
Whether it was a lost childhood, or a fire, or a child molestation incident, or death threats, everything Michael Jackson suffered, lost his reputation, all came back after his death - worth billions, of course. The Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and his own song copyrights finally came to Sony, and just like the dream when they merged back then, Sony/ATV, after all, became thergest music copyrightpany in the world.
Of course, even though Rnd knows everything about Michael Jackson''s life history, it doesn''t mean that he will be as surprised as he was when he saw Francis Copp after hearing the name, because for him, music It''s just a way to let him rx, he listens to music, he likes singers like Taylor Swift, but he loves movies more.
As for why you like Taylor Swift but not MJ?
How many men have you seen who like to build a male ount when they are ying games?
Raising a daughter is much morefortable than feeding a four-legged gold swallowing beast!
Taylor looks beautiful and has a nice voice. Isn’t it a very logical thing to like to listen to her songs?
So, even if Francis and Scorsese clearly stated each other''s identity.
Rnd cursed in his heart just because he was shocked.
After the mood subsided, he returned to normal, and asked the two big brothers about the reason for the incident.
However, in the face of his inquiry, the people at the table who were chatting happily suddenly fell silent, and the crowd, including Joe Pesci and Chris Columbus, all turned their eyes to the awards stage Central, who greeted the lucky ones on stage with a formic smile, didn''t want to get involved in the topic at all.
Compared with them, the big boss who brought up this matter also found that the timing was wrong. They didn''t want to judge other people''s privacy in such a public ce, so Scorsese and Francis, who felt that they picked the wrong topic, looked at each other and directly They reminded Rnd with a very obscure word, and they felt that a precocious child like Rnd should be able to understand.
"vitiligo."
"Let''s put this matter aside for now. When we contact him, we''ll talk to you after confirming it."
Vitiligo?
Vitiligo?
When Rnd heard this word, he realized instantly.
''turn out to be…''
‘Is it still possible to get together...’
Even though the members of the Jewish gang did not say it clearly, Rnd had already guessed which song Michael Jackson wanted to find famous white children to record the MV of—except for the one that talked about racial issues and set a record for the music video ratings. The highest record, bing the music video "ckorWhite" with the most simultaneous viewers in history, what MV is there that must find a famous white kid to record together?
Yes, as a ck man, Michael Jackson also spoke out for racial issues.
However, unlike those ck Lives Matter in the future, and the racial celebrations when Mand was released, Michael Jackson, although a ck man, has been deeply involved in racial issues and has been criticized by public opinion.
As early as thete 1970s and early 1980s, Michael Jackson suffered from vitiligo because of family gic history.
At that time, cosying the idol Chaplin, he made headlines because of the ck and white, light and darkplexion in the photo. In this era of closed news, people who eat melons misbelieve the media''s propaganda and think that he is In deliberate drifting, wanting to abandon the group of people of color, and in this case, every skin graft operation of Michael Jackson, who suffered from the Pepsi burn incident in 1984, will be described by the media as he is fighting for bing a white man. Work hard.
In the face of increasingly bad public opinion, MJ is still determined to do charity.
In 1985, forty-five singers were called toe to the recording studio in Los Angeles to record "One World" co-written with Lionel Rich, and finally raised 60 million US dors in charitable donations for Africa; In 8 years, he became thergest donor of the ''United Negro College Fund''; in 1989, he was awarded the ''Highest Humanitarian Award of ck Radio''; in 1990, he performed at the Sammy Davis Jr. Tribute The proceeds of 250,000 US dors were also donated to the ''United Negro College Fund''...
But even so, people who are used to being guided by the news still gave him the notoriety of ''betraying the race''. Under such circumstances, MJ finally used his own music to resist and created the "ck and White" The song, not only that, in Rnd''s memory, he also invited Macay Culkin, the star of the original "Home Alone" to appear in the MV. The picture of Fei''s father.
Of course, this brisk shot is just a prelude to attacking racial issues.
All the shots in the MV were taken to respond to racial discrimination. Not only that, but in the 11-minute full version of the MV, there are more than four minutes of violent scenes, smashing cars painted with racial slogans , Smash the ss window that says "Long Live the Ku Klux n"...
He danced solo without soundtrack and used exaggerated movements to vent his anger to the world...
Yes, after the simple connection, Rnd already understood why the other party wanted to find him.
In Rnd''s previous life, Michael Jackson imed that he liked the movie "Home Alone" and Macay Culkin very much, and invited him to his Nevend Ranch as a guest for the subsequent MV shooting. Basis for cooperation.
And what about this life?
With Rnd''s intervention, it is naturally impossible for Michael Jackson to directly invite Rnd to cooperate as he did in his previous life.
After all, the song "ck and White" involves very sensitive racial issues. At this time, if he directly invites Rnd over in order to bnce the racial scene in the MV, let alone whether Rnd will agree. It''s the Jewish gang, he can''t exin—
Everyone is friends, you dragged our people into the vortex of controversy without saying hello?
Although you Michael is the king of pop music, we are not so easy to bully!
In this way, bypassing Rnd and directly discussing issues with friends has be the safest choice for MJ at the moment.
He wanted to find a white boy to shoot the MV, because he wanted to find a bnce between different races.
And Rnd is now the most famous, if he is not selected, others will not be able to achieve the effect he wants.
As for whether Rnd will hesitate because of race?
oh…
Not to mention that he has already promised Francis and Scorsese, the music video with the most simultaneous viewers of all time will not let him pass up the opportunity of this appearance...
What''s more, as long as you live in thisnd, race, human rights, fraternity, freedom, these topics that white leftists like to talk about will never be avoided.
Not only that, at the Golden Globe awards ceremony where Rnd is at the moment, there is also a controversial movie "Dances with Wolves". You must know that in the face of the issue of Indians, the racial discrimination of ck people is nothing at all. , The **** massacre hidden under the shy appearance of the Westward Movement is more troublesome than racial discrimination.
After all, before the appearance of "Dances with Wolves", all kinds of western-themed movies were extremely inspirational: either the industrious and capable American people united and developed a prosperous western world; or the heroic Ami The Liga people fought wits and bravely defeated a powerful and evil enemy; the Indians in all major films were portrayed as brutal and ugly viins to set off the image of the tall American heroes, and in the face of this environment, " Dances with Wolves still won the Oscar for Best Picture, so we can get a glimpse of how sensitive issues rted to race are in America.
Although Rnd doesn''t want to touch these **** things, living on thisnd, hiding, will never be able to escape.
Compared with blindly bumping into each other, it is obviously the wisest choice to stand with the Jewish gang.
You know, even though Spielberg in his previous life made his Holocaust Foundation extremelyrge, such as the Jewish Holocaust, the Rwanda Massacre, the Armenian Massacre, the Khmer Rouge Massacre... these events were involved, but he still Can live quite moist.
How to survive in the sensitive cracks and let all public opinion be used by him is what Rnd is interested in.
Of course, the most important thing is that Rnd felt that even if he participated in Michael Jackson''s "ck and White" MV, he would not be the point of attack.
The sky is falling and there is a tall man standing on top of it. The usations and pressure of public opinion will only be aimed at Michael Jackson who wants to prove that he is still a ck man, and Rnd is just a bncing foil for the MV.
For him, taking over this job is, more importantly, taking advantage of the poprity of the pop music king.
After all, no matter how popr "Home Alone" is, it can''tpare with MJ''s fan base.
And once he shows in the MV, then...
Forget it, he''d better just go for the heat.
In case I have my own fans in the future, I will follow the example of the trainee fans and jump out and tell everyone that MJ''s singing and dancing are taught by myself.
Then this fun can be a big hit.
It''s better not to have such a thing as a ck top and ten fans, otherwise, just diss is enough for him to drink a pot.
Thinking of this, the ident when I heard Michael Jackson’s name, the caution when I guessed the MV project, and the regret when I thought of racial issues (too quickly agree to Francis), all these misceneous emotions disappeared.
Although he really wanted to continue chatting with those big shots, since the other side kept silent, Rnd couldn''t force it out of his brain.
After remembering the matter of MJ in his heart, Rnd followed suit and turned his attention back to the awarding tform.
Since he does not have the ability of photographic memory, it is impossible for Rnd to know whether there will be any upsets at this year''s awards ceremony. Because of this, when they stop discussing and sit down, each award will be of great importance to everyone. For Rnd, it was a brand new experience. After all, he had never participated in such high-level activities in his previous life.
And once they concentrate on cooperating with the organizer to perform, the sense of substitution of watching the ceremony on the spot will suddenly be different. American jokes, teasing jokes, singing on the spot, toasting and celebrating, these things, Rnd...
Still really not interested.
For a guy like him who can only watch "Screaming Laughter" to have fun, the dirty jokes in "Bankrupt Girls" can win his sympathy.
As for others?
Then I can only respond with an awkward smile...
After sitting down one night, Rnd really dozed off there.
As expected, all the awards have nothing to do with them, and all the apuse is dedicated to others.
Under such circumstances, Rnd felt like a support trooper invited by the organizer—the kind that didn’t require money.
Since he didn''t even have a sense of participation, he naturally wouldn''t have a good impression of this award.
What''s more, the surprise that Rnd got (MJ''s MV project) was also given by his own people. In this way, after the awards dinner, he only said hello to his own people, and then climbed to the Get out of the car, go home dizzy and rest.
As for the follow-up interview?
Interview with you jerk!
Want to get a ''loser''s parting speech'' out of his mouth?
Whether it’s cool or not, let’s stay there!
Don’t you know that if a child stays upte for a long time and does not rest on time, it is easy to stagnate in development?
Sisters Olsen are typical of them!
The whole family can be tall, but the two of them who stayed up all night filming for a long time became short.
Since there are lessons learned from the past, Rnd naturally does not want to be a second-ss disabled person who is about 1.6 meters tall.
And when he got home, the lights next door had all gone out.
Looking at the familiar porch, Rnd yawned, got into the house, and rolled into bed.
Maybe he knew that Rnd was too tired yesterday, but it was more like wishing him to sleep a little longer.
When Rnd woke up naturally from sleep, he picked up the bedside rm clock with a p, and stared at the electronic time on it to observe carefully. The unusually clear 01:30PM made him jump out of bed directly.
"Hold the grass!"
"It''s over, it''s over, it''s over!"
"This is the rhythm of seeing my own brain!"
"James said before that we will meet at Sony Studios on the 20th. It''s already afternoon now. Didn''t he have to skin me?!"
Note: ① "ck Or White" is a song attacking racial issues. Since there are MJ venting scenes in the MV, there are two versions, one is the normal version, the song ends and the MV ends, and the other is the ck Panther version, which contains four minute a cappe solo. ②In reality, Macay Culkin was invited by Michael Jackson to visit Nevend Ranch after the explosion of "Home Alone". The rtionship between the two is very good. Not only that, Macay is MJ''s daughter Pa Liz''s godfather, after Paris attempted suicide in 13 years, basically belonged to Macay to take care of her, and the media often took photos of them together. ③I said before that Spielberg has a Holocaust Foundation, which specializes in collecting various massacre materials in human history. However, ording to the currently published information (as of 15 years ago), the entire foundation does not involve the massacre of Indians The problem.
