"Regin, Regin, it's time to eat!"

"Mom, I'm changing clothes in the house, I'll be out right away!" Hearing his mother's shout, Reggin quickly scribbled red potion on his bruised body, then put on his coat, opened the door and walked out.

"Hey, what's going to eat today?" He said with a pretended happy look.

"I smell a red potion!" His nearest sister, who was scooping up a spoonful of mashed potatoes, suddenly turned in his direction, sniffed, and said.

"Regin! You went to fight again? Mom put down the plate and said with a sinking face.

"They called me a wild seed!" Regin's eyes shone with hatred and rage, and he said through gritted teeth.

In this era, valuing the family is still a globally shared value.

Even in the United States, the proportion of white single-parent families is only about 6.0 percent, and the proportion of black single-parent families is about 12 percent, which is twice that of white people. The reason for the emergence of single-parent families is that divorce is only one aspect, and more often it is abandoned by the other party (usually the man). Therefore, children from single-parent families are often ridiculed by outsiders.

That's how the Regin's family is.

As soon as Lei Jin said such words, his mother's eyes immediately turned red, and she couldn't say anything scolding, but wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, trying to make a calm appearance: "Okay, children, let's eat." ”

"I'm sorry, Mom, I promised you no more fights." Seeing his mother so sad, Lei Jin felt very uncomfortable, and apologized in frustration.

"It's nothing, it's all Mom's fault." Mom quickly wiped her tears twice, beckoned him to pass, and then opened his clothes, and saw the bruises and scars on Regin's body, tears streaming down his face.

This is her child, and the wound on the child's body hurts in the mother's heart.

"Mom, don't cry, I'll protect you!" Regin, who was still half the size, helped his mother wipe away her tears and swore an oath.

"Rekin, learn to protect yourself before protecting your mother. Don't fight anymore, okay? The mother took out the family medical kit, dipped a cotton swab in red potion, and carefully smeared her son's wound little by little, and said softly.

"Okay!" Regin, who didn't want to make his mother sad, nodded.

But he didn't think so in his heart, if anyone dared to bully him again, he would definitely use his fists to defend his dignity.

"Come and watch TV, it's your favorite music TV time." To help her son get back on the medicine, the mother turned on the TV at home and switched to the cable TV station.

Cable television is a form of media that spread from the United States.

In the early days, the transmission and reception of TV signals were very poor, and a high antenna receiving device needed to be installed on the roof of the building. Such a device is naturally not available to everyone, usually the owner of the building to install it uniformly, and then distribute it to each family, and charge a small fee to make up for the cost of installing the antenna.

Over time, this becomes an industry.

Some buildings prohibit residents from installing antennas without permission, turning internal wired charging into a fixed income. As this model expanded, it became a cable network of multiple buildings and a street area.

Up to now, although the signal acceptance ability of TV sets is getting stronger and stronger, and there is no need for external antennas to receive signals clearly, the cable TV programs spawned by cable TV networks are more colorful and more entertaining, and have become a more popular source of TV programs than ordinary wireless TV stations.

Lei Jin's family only works for his mother, and the income is not high, so he only applied for a cable channel, and the others are public wireless TV programs.

Compared with comprehensive wireless TV, cable TV is more concentrated and more accepted by viewers who prefer a certain type.

For example, the channel that Lei Jin's family applied for is entertainment-oriented, including talk shows, music, cartoons and other entertainment programs, and it is the favorite channel for the two children in the family. In the evening, the family watches music videos on TV and has a happy dinner, which is the happiest moment for the whole family.

"Hey, it's the Michael band!"

A music video ends, and a second music video clip is shown on the screen, and according to the text, the performer is the Michael Band, lead singer Jackson.

As a result of the ongoing black movement, the status of blacks has improved much compared to before. However, the stage dominated by blacks is still dominated by music and sports, and is still at a disadvantage in other sports. And it is true that the average score of blacks is not as good as that of whites, so tens of millions of blacks regard these two industries as the main direction of employment in the future.

At the same time, the characteristics of black music, such as lightness and strong rhythm, have also conquered the majority of white music fans, so that although black music cannot enter the hall and is recognized by orthodox musicians, it is highly sought after among ordinary Americans, and has gradually become the mainstream.

"Beatit! What does that mean? "Regin's songs began to be heard by the group when they were still called the Michael brothers. It is no exaggeration to say that he grew up listening to the songs of the five Michael brothers and loved the band, but he had never heard this song.

It should be their new song.

Music video is very different from traditional music, because of its video expressiveness, from the beginning it is a tool for teenagers to express their depressed emotions, there are few orthodox music videos, basically rock music, and its theme is rebellion and catharsis.

Teenagers, who were also in the rebellious period, fell in love with this form of expression, and it quickly spread and became popular.

Curious about the new song called Bertit, Regin and his sister stopped the spoon in their hands and looked intently.

There is no music at first, and a basketball plaza appears, just like the basketball plazas found in cities across the United States.

On the court, there are two teams of young people playing basketball, black and white. They were all wearing T-shirts with tattoos on their arms. Some wore baseball caps, chewed gum in their mouths, and looked cynical.

This is the hustler that can be found everywhere in every city.

Although it is very unsightly, it is very kind, and every ordinary person can see their own shadow from them.

The two teams had just played for a while when there was a conflict over a ball, and the two sides began to push and shout at each other. There was no sound on TV, but the fierce situation between the two sides was clear at a glance.

At this time, the picture suddenly went black.

"Hey, what's wrong? Is something wrong? Regin, who was seeing the gods, was baffled by this sudden change, and shouted unconsciously.

He was about to get up to see if the TV was malfunctioning, when suddenly a passionate percussion sound came from the TV speaker.

Then, the camera pulls away.

Through the lens farther and farther away, the viewer sees a boxy tape recorder blocking the camera. Above this recorder, there's also this handle. At this moment, the play button of the tape recorder has been pressed, and from the speakers on both sides of the tape recorder, a strong rhythmic heavy metal sound effect is heard.

When the camera zoomed further, Reggin saw Jackson, the lead singer of the Michael band, standing next to him and practicing basic footwork.

The horn-like thump in the opening scene is full of the rhythm of black music, and even though it is the first time I listen to it, Rekin can follow the movements one after the other. His innate sense of musicality naturally blends into it.

After a beat, the rhythm of the music suddenly accelerates, but it is fast and not chaotic.

It is very graceful and smooth, full of jumping, so that the whole person's body and mind are flying and beating, endlessly.

Michael's singing voice was full of passion at the beginning, and the lyrics were extremely enthusiastic, which made Lei Jin's eyebrows flutter, but it made his mother frown.

But then, he used repeated tunes to persuade young people not to be impulsive, impulsiveness could not solve the problem, but it could hurt themselves. When a conflict arises, you can avoid it for a while, there are always other ways to resolve it.

Regin's mother's frown gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on her face.

Unlike his mother, Reggin was stunned, he didn't care what the lyrics were singing, but was so absorbed in Michael's series of difficult dance moves that his mind went blank.

At the beginning, although Michael danced hard and the movements were very difficult, it was still an ordinary street dance.

But soon, all kinds of amazing steps and hip-hop choreography made him stunned.

Hip-hop was not a rare thing in this era.

It was born at the end of the 60s, and after nearly ten years of interpretation and development, it has become a form of performance that is loved by young people of all colors, is an entertainment for the poor, and is a hip-hop culture for literary and artistic young people such as yuppies to show their unique personality.

This is a dance that can be danced by whites, but definitely not as well as blacks who are naturally musical.

And Michael's performance at the moment has shocked all the black viewers who saw this music TV such as Rekin.

In the past, there were many types of hip-hop dance, but they were very scattered.

But at this moment, under Michael's re-choreography, various hip-hop genres are skillfully integrated by him, and through different dance movements, their respective strengths are expressed, the movements are relaxed but not exaggerated, and the rhythm is strong but not irritable, becoming a new form of performance that surpasses the past hip-hop forms.

Especially when he stepped out like a spacewalk, walking in place, Regin's mouth opened wide, and the whole person was stupid. Even his mother, a young mother who was not particularly fond of hip-hop, covered her mouth, unable to believe that people could still make such movements.

Elegant, chic.

This is the common sentiment of all those who have watched this music video when they see this one.

It's beautiful, it's handsome, it's cool!

At this moment, Michael is not the lead singer of a band, but like a prince, a dancing prince, in his own world, indulge in dancing!

In the picture, there are fewer and fewer people fighting.

When Michael's other brothers joined in, the others couldn't help but jump along, and the line of dancers grew larger and larger.

Michael jumped out of the square and danced in the streets.

In the alleys, thugs with wooden sticks, dyed blonde hair, and ear and nose piercings joined in, and hundreds of people, led by Michael, danced.

When the song enters the last few bars of repetition, the dance moves also enter the most **.

Michael's movements can no longer be described as smooth, but superb, exciting, every movement is stimulating people's nerves, making people quickly secrete adrenaline and accelerate blood flow.

When the music finally ends, Michael stops dancing, and the scene shifts back to the basketball square where the conflict took place.

Michael walked up to the tape recorder, pressed the stop button, and then picked up the tape recorder and slowly left.

The camera is still focused on the square, and the dancers are scattered in all directions.

The two teams that had just been in a group may have danced together to enhance each other's goodwill, and everyone let go of the initial contradictions, laughed and clapped their hands with each other, and then merged together and played basketball amicably.

The picture gradually darkens.

End of video.

Rekin looked at another video that appeared on the TV, but he felt stunned, as if all the spirit and spirit of his body had been released in the passion just now.

What a wonderful dance move.

This is a kind of sublimation, a summary of the development of hip-hop dance in the past decade, which not only integrates various genres, but also creates a new way of performing such as space walking.

If he was only a favorite singer among many black singers before, but at this moment, in Regin's heart, he has risen to the level of greatness!

……

Cable TV, music TV channels.

Usually at this time, when music TV is broadcast, there will always be viewers calling to express their feelings about a certain music video they have seen, asking where to buy the video and when the single will come out, and the phone is always ringing.

This is also the time when the record company is the happiest.

For record labels and singers, cable networks are advertising windows, barometers to test audience reactions.

Michael waited anxiously at the audience interaction.

I don't know why, the single has ended, but there have been no calls coming in for a long time, and the few calls are also about the music video before, and none of them are aimed at Michael and Bertit!

The staff of the TV station were also puzzled.

It shouldn't be!

Although this music TV was able to be broadcast, it was Columbia Records that paid for it. But they had all seen it and were so impressed by the song, especially Michael's choreography skills, that several of the staff members even became Michael's fans immediately.

It stands to reason that even if the audience is a little smaller, there won't be one?

"Michael, don't be sad, this is just the beginning, and everyone hasn't gotten used to it yet. The company thinks this is a good song, even if it is not successful this time, the company will continue to push it, radio, television, a few more times, it must be ......" The manager sent by the company was also a little disappointed, but he still patted Michael on the shoulder and encouraged.

Several of his brothers also stepped forward to give their brother a warm hug, comforting him and expressing how much they liked the song.

"It's okay, new songs are always going to be difficult at first...... "Michael was impressed.

Tick bell bell!

Amid everyone's comforting voices, the phone suddenly rang.

A staff member who specializes in answering the phone reaches for the phone. But before she could touch the phone, all the hotlines suddenly rang, and the sound shook the audience.

The first phone was picked up, and before the TV station staff could say a word, the other party's excited voice had already come from the microphone: "Oh my God! I've never seen such an exciting dance, it's so exciting, it's so exciting, it's still not settled, my heart is pounding, I can't press ...... at all."

On the phone, the other side doesn't need to communicate at all, just talk.

The same is true for other calls.

There are a total of 12 extensions in the hotline switchboard, and all the calls convey one meaning: exciting, blood-boiling songs and dances.

The American people are a passionate group that is frank, unrestrained, and always straightforward in expressing their ideas.

At this moment, the performance is especially outstanding.

Michael was overjoyed, listening to the jumble, high-pitched voice in the microphone, and although no one inside had asked how the single would sell, he already knew that he had made it!
