Michael is on fire, "Beatit" is on fire!

His music videos were initially funded by the company and broadcast on cable networks. But two days later, the momentum changed to various TV stations and radio stations, which paid for permission to broadcast videos and singles of the song in their programs.

Almost half of the media participated in the review of the song.

And it's all praise!

Serious newspapers and television programs praised the song's intentions, saying that the song was positive and healthy, and persuaded teenagers not to always use violence to solve problems. If everyone can accept this persuasion, there will be less violence among young people who plague society, which is a blessing for the whole society.

Musicians thought the tune of the song was rhythmic, had the distinctive characteristics of black music, and was a good song.

Dancers believe that this dance choreographed by Michael is the culmination of ten years of hip-hop development, and a comprehensive summary of a scattered development of dance, making the subsequent development of hip-hop more orderly. Although it cannot be compared with elegant traditional dances such as Latin dance for the time being, it will surely be loved by more ordinary dance lovers, especially teenagers.

Music fans, fans, and dance fans don't have so many rational summaries, they only have one word: shock!

On TV, Michael's moon walk is played over and over again, and his elegant posture reminds people all the time that another great dancer was born!

……

In New York, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with a black portable tape recorder with bright silver welt was on the street crowded with tourists, put down the recording, and pressed the play button on it.

The song "Beatit" burst out of the horns.

Slightly different from the music video, there is no long silent picture here, and the rhythmic percussion instruments play the prelude to the song.

It's the rhythm of preparing for a street show.

Tourists excitedly moved out of the way of a circle and waited for his performance.

Many tourists also set their eyes on the portable tape recorder, which is easy to carry and has the same effect as a desktop tape recorder, which makes them feel bright.

The boy followed the music and performed the dance that Michael had danced.

His movements are naturally not as relaxed and generous as Michael's, and he walks decently on the moon, but the performance is too strong, but the audience still watches it with relish. The few people who have not seen this music and dance on TV are even more regarded as celestials, and they continue to exclaim.

Tourists pulled out their cameras and filmed the scene.

The portable tape recorder also kept entering their footage and was recorded by the tourists.

The music stopped, and the boy stopped the tape recorder and walked away with it.

The crowd of onlookers on the streets also dispersed, and it was not surprising that such impromptu performances were seen on the streets of New York.

The boy walked through one block and another street, doing the same.

……

In Brooklyn, Manhattan, a teenager carries a portable tape recorder and dances to the music as he walks around.

……

In San Francisco's street performance hub, a street artist performs a variety of hip-hop moves to the tunes of a portable tape recorder placed next to it. He didn't learn his dance from Michael, but he was also well attended.

……

In the past, hip-hop dance required preparing huge desktop speakers, power amplifier equipment, batteries or temporary wires from nearby, and arranging speakers, which was very time-consuming and troublesome.

It can be said that engaging in street performances also requires financial support.

However, during this time, it is common to see people carrying a lightweight portable tape recorder, as long as the mood comes, you can have a casual performance anytime, anywhere. When the performance was over, he immediately left with the tape recorder.

The good sound quality of the portable tape recorder, as well as its practicality and portability, quickly came into the public eye.

The first to love it are those who also love street performances.

Subsequently, under their leadership, street groups, gangsters, and youth groups in various cities fell in love with this tape recorder.

As the trend spreads, you can see four or five teenagers playing together, dancing around a portable tape recorder, or doing nothing, straddle the railing, turn the tape recorder loud, listen to a song, and occasionally dance a paragraph.

There are also teenagers who carry portable tape recorders and swagger through the streets, and they will turn the volume of the tape recorder very loud.

When more and more people choose portable tape recorders, its distributors have also set up counters in more electrical shopping malls and supermarkets in the United States from the first two stores in New York and San Francisco, and its price is $299 to $999, which is only one-third or even one-fifth of desktop audio.

Soon, the people who bought portable tape recorders changed from teenagers to small shop owners and street vendors.

They are stuck in their own small shop all day long, and they are very bored.

Now with this kind of inexpensive, good sound quality portable tape recorder, they have more entertainment in the boring time of visiting the store.

When the edited "Beatit" was broadcast as an advertisement, the camera became more prominent, and its high-pitched and high-pitched expressiveness and huge volume were recognized and accepted by more and more people, and the sales of portable tape recorders began to grow by leaps and bounds.

In Japan and Europe, advertising campaigns for "Beatit" have been launched, and one market after another has been opened.

……

In the early morning at the entrance of San Francisco's Chinatown, at the entrance of the newly opened Suteng Trade Supermarket, the store door has not yet opened, and there is already a long queue outside. At a glance, all of them are young people and teenagers, especially boys, and there are also some girls, and their skin colors are black and white, and there is no difference.

"Hey, man, is this the store selling portable tape recorders?" Rekin got up at four o'clock in the morning, and was in ninth place at the moment—eight men before him!

"Of course! Didn't you read the newspaper, there are only two stores in the United States that exclusively sell the sT100! Behind him, a tall white boy stared at the huge poster on the glass of the store's door, his eyes mesmerized and his face full of impatient excitement.

Due to the huge number of guns in the United States, the law stipulates that all shops and office buildings are not allowed to turn off their lights at night, so as not to be attacked by the police when the bad guys are hiding during the period. If the store lights are turned off, then the police have the right not to enter the store after receiving the report, and all losses caused by this shall be borne by the store.

Although it was early in the morning, the shops on the whole street were not open, but all the shops and the commercial buildings on both sides were still brightly lit.

In order to save electricity, some stores have turned off some of the lights, but the outside parts are just as bright as day. Even inside, there is a small amount of lighting to allow outsiders to see the layout of the store and the various products on display at a glance.

The teenager was looking at a Michael Jackson poster on the glass door, which took up half of the huge picture of the glass door, Michael was about life-size, carrying a portable tape recorder and watching the movements dance to the music.

The photo captures him at the critical moment of the dance, with his fluttering hair, sweat, passionate movements and expressions, full of movement.

At the top of the poster, there is a huge line of English: sT100, dynamic and always with you!

This is the portable tape recorder that Michael Jackson quickly became popular at the same time, and he quickly became recognized and sought after by people. These American teenagers don't know that the number of sT is the pinyin abbreviation of handheld, but they don't need to know so much, they just need to understand that sT100 is a portable tape recorder, model code 100, it is enough.

At the end of March, the weather was not very cold, but the temperature difference between morning and evening was still relatively large, and these teenagers ran to line up with excitement, but after waiting for several hours, they still felt cold hands and feet, and had to put their hands around their chests and stomp their feet quickly to increase blood circulation throughout their bodies.

Their desire is the innermost end of the glass store, in the small commodity city, densely placed portable tape recorders.

In the advertisement shot by Michael, the code name used is sT100, but from the glass door just now, another product list, they see that this is only the standard model.

In addition to the sT100, there's also the sT110, a small and compact model that's two-thirds the size of the standard model, making it ideal for bedside and listening to music before bed. Of course, the power of this compact model is also less than that of the standard type, which makes it a bit difficult to play on streets with a lot of ambient noise.

The sT120, on the other hand, is an enhanced version of the standard model, with dual dominant axes that automatically switch between playback tracks. After listening to one side, you can automatically change the direction of the head and play the track on the other side without removing the tape.

In addition to the above three, there is also a luxury type.

This is much more expensive than the first three, and the average teenager will definitely not be able to afford it if they do not have parental support.

This luxury sT140 adopts a high-end matte design, the panel and buttons look high-end, solemn and elegant, even if it is not used as a recording and playback equipment, it is fully qualified to be placed in the living room, as a high-end furnishings.

According to the list, the components used in the luxury model are better, and the components used in professional-grade audio are used. The audio circuit has also been specially designed, and the noise reduction index and music resolution are much higher than the standard model, which is comparable to the mid-range desktop audio!

The price of 799 is far from being comparable to the standard type, even if it is an ordinary family, if you want to buy such a luxury model, I am afraid you have to raise a lot of money to be able to pay for it.

Only those white-collar middle-class people can easily afford to pay without frowning.

Regin's hands were in his pockets, clutching the three hundred dollars he had saved from his part-time job, his palms covered with sweat.

That's his income for the entire winter break, and he was going to buy basketballs and skateboards, but now, he's aiming for an sT100, just like Michael's one!

At half past eight in the morning, the door of the store had not yet opened, and the crowd in line had already seen the clerks inside through the glass door. The clerks, who had entered through the staff aisle at the back door, were buttoning up their overalls and walking around the store with a smile and a smile on their faces, putting some of the items back in order.

The pressure from behind Rekin suddenly increased.

Because the poster says that during the first day of sales, the first 20 customers can enjoy a 20% discount!

Only in this way can Lei Jin not want his mother to ask for help, but use the money he earns from his part-time job to afford an sT100!

That's why he got up at four o'clock in the morning and ran to line up.

The people behind were shoving, and some were trying to mess up the line in order to fish in troubled waters and squeeze to the front. Inside the store, the clerks turned a blind eye to this scene, and they had no reason to come out to sort out the line, anyway, they only needed to give preferential treatment to the first twenty customers.

"Hold the waist of the person in front of you, and don't let those little ruffians mess up the team!" Someone in the line shouted.

At the same time, a pair of hands came from behind him and clamped them tightly around his waist. The ranks behind were even more turbulent, and the screams of boys and girls were constantly heard.

Rekin hurriedly stuffed the money in his pocket into the inner pocket of his chest, and also tightened the waist of the person in front of him.

The human chain stopped the thugs who tried to mess up the team, and only to hear constant scolding was heard, but the team finally settled down.

At nine o'clock, the door finally opened.

The crowd, which had been queuing for hours, poured in with a hula. At this moment, the orderly team just now was completely chaotic, everyone was desperately running inside, and the people in the back pulled the people in front of them, trying to pull them behind, and the crowd was crowded.

Lei Jin stuffed his head, ran forward quickly, jumped over the head of a slippery teenager, and ran to the counter in one breath, so he took out the sweaty banknotes, handed them to the salesman, and shouted with all his might: "Come on an sT100!" ”

Just behind him, the slippery teenager was crying, cursing loudly at the man who had pushed him down, shouting in despair: "That's my place!" I would have been at the front! It should be my discount, mine! ”

Rekin paid no attention to anything, his eyes only staring anxiously at the salesperson's every move.

When the salesperson handed him the carton containing the sT100, he hugged it so tightly that he didn't want to let go at all.

The corners of his mouth were grinning, and a smile was so bright.

This is my sT100!

I bought it, I had the same portable tape recorder as Michael, and I could listen to music, sing, and dance with him.

It's mine, mine, and no one can snatch it away!
