Chen Lang was surprised when he accidentally saw the person sitting in the room, and then looked carefully for a long time and found that he didn't recognize the wrong person, and his heart was as calm as if he had set off a stormy wave.

"What's wrong Lang Lang, hurry up and come in and prepare for tonight's singing." After Chen Shufen walked into the lounge, she saw Chen Lang standing at the door with a blank face looking at something, and she was a little puzzled, but now it is most important to be prepared, so she opened her mouth and urged.

Chen Lang was awakened by Chen Shufen's words, and walked into the lounge a little blankly. Chen Shufen saw that Chen Lang's face was a little excited and seemed to be a little regretful, and felt very strange, "Lang Lang, what's wrong with you, is there anything to worry about?" ”

"No, it's just that the guy next door to us is a singer I like very much, so I'm a little excited." Chen Lang knew that his performance was a little abnormal, so he quickly took a few deep breaths to calm down his fluctuating mood.

"Oh, so far I've only heard that you like the singer Xu Guanjie, but I didn't expect that there is another favorite singer, which superstar?" Chen Shufen was also very curious when she heard that it was Chen Lang's favorite singer, because Chen Lang was talented and also arrogant, and the singer who could make Chen Lang like would definitely not be an ordinary person.

"Michael Jackson." Chen Lang said word by word.

"Michael Jackson?" Chen Shufen is somewhat familiar with this name, but she does not seem to be a world-class superstar singer.

"Maybe he's just a little famous now, and he's not a world-class singer, but I like his style and dance very much." Chen Lang also chased Michael Jackson for a while in his previous life, and knew that Michael was not yet popular, but on November 30 this year, Michael will release the most successful album in the history of world music "Thriller" ("Thriller").

Originally titled Starlight, the album was released on November 30, 1982, and was intended to be dedicated to Michael's mother.

In post-production, dissatisfied with the song's remix, the perfectionist Michael risked being sued by his owner for breach of contract to re-record the entire album, and the result was an unprecedented success for "Thriller".

Over the next year, it dominated the U.S. album charts for 37 weeks, with seven of the nine albums released as singles and seven of them reaching the top 10, the highest at the time.

The seven songs are: TheGirlIsMine, Billie Jean, BeatIt, WannaBeStartin'Somethin', HumanNature, P.Y.T. (PrettyYoungThing), and Thriller.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America, the album had sold 54 million copies in the United States in 1983; Overseas, it has undeniably climbed the charts and topped the charts in many countries: 3.6 million copies were sold in the UK alone.

In Japan, he stayed in the rankings for 65 weeks in a row, and even became the champion in South Africa; In the former Soviet Union, the state media at the time was naturally outraged by Jackson's music, but its smuggling cassette was spread everywhere and was collected by music lovers, "His music is the voice of the times." A former Soviet high school student commented at the time.

The album also shined at the always demanding Grammy Awards, taking home 7 (12 nominations) in one fell swoop, plus the "Best Children's Recording" award for "E.T. Storybook", Jackson took home a total of 8 awards at the Grammys, setting a record for a single year's awards!

"Thriller" also made a splash at other major awards ceremonies that year, winning more than 140 trophies around the world, making it a rare commercial and artistic win-win in music history.

As an outstanding musical work, "Trembling" also has a deeper historical significance. According to statistics, 80% of Americans in the 80s listened to this album. Within two years of its release, the album was the most important event in the United States, and its influence swept not only the music scene, but also dance, fashion and television.

For many people in their 20s or 30s, "Thriller" was the driving force behind their introduction to American pop culture. As Time magazine put it, it was it that really brought black music back to the mainstream.

At the World Music Awards in November 2006, Guinness Editor-in-Chief Craig appeared at the venue and announced that "Thriller" was the first album in record history to exceed 100 million yuan, with sales of 104 million, which was recorded in the new Guinness Book of World Records (2007).

In 2008, Thriller was listed as a National Treasure in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress, along with 24 other recordings, and is considered one of the most "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" works in the history of American sound recording.

In his previous life, Chen Lang had specially Baidu a lot of information about Michael Jackson, and his understanding was quite comprehensive, but because of this, Chen Lang felt a little strange.

Because "Thriller", an album that has never been done before, has two very classic songs, which can be called the absolute masterpieces of Michael Jackson's music career.

One is "beatit", which Chen Lang likes very much, and the other is "Billiejean", these two songs, together with "wearetheworld" and "Song of the Earth", can be regarded as Michael Jackson's peak representative works.

Of course, the iconic "Space Step" can be said to be the label of Michael Jackson's life, but now "Billiejean" has been "created" by Chen Lang in advance, and the Space Step is also the first time that Chen Lang shows to everyone.

Both of these factors were indispensable to the success of Thriller, so Chen Lang regretted that this epic album would not have achieved the same success as in his previous life.

"Well, even if you like the singer, but now that you're competitors, get ready and sing your billiejean." Chen Shufen said solemnly.

After all, this single is not only important to Chen Lang, but also to Huaxing Records, no matter what the result is, at least you have to do your best to fight for it.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best." Chen Lang took a deep breath again, shook off all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and adjusted his mentality, so as not to make mistakes on the stage.

After waiting in the lounge for half an hour, Chen Lang received a notice from the staff to prepare to perform on stage, Chen Lang had already put on his performance costume, and when he came out of the lounge, he couldn't help but look next door, but he didn't expect Michael Jackson to come out, and the two are now face to face.

At this time, Michael Jackson is not as white-skinned as later generations, he still has black skin, looking at the world pop king who is still a little green, Chen Lang stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Lang Lang, and I am a singer!" ”

Michael Jackson also just received a notice from the staff that his performance was about to start, but as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a young man coming out next door who seemed to be a singer, and he was even more surprised to say hello to himself.

Michael Jackson shook Chen Lang's hand in some surprise and said, "Hello, I'm Michael Jackson, and I'm also a singer." ”

"It looks like we're all going to be ready to perform on stage, how about we go over together?" Chen Lang suggested.

"Then let's go together." Although Michael Jackson didn't know Chen Lang, his new friends were nothing, so he shrugged and said.

The two walked side by side towards the stage, leaving the two agents looking at each other, and then reacted and quickly followed.

"Michael, are you here to promote your latest album too?" Chen Lang asked enthusiastically.

"It's not an album, it's just a single." Michael Jackson said.

"I'm also here to promote my single, it's called 'billiejean', and I love your 'Don'tStop' TilYouGetEnough." Chen Lang said.

Actually, Chen Lang didn't like this song too much, but this song helped Michael Jackson win Best R&B Male Singer at the 1979 Grammys.

"I didn't expect you to like this song too." Sure enough, Michael was very happy to hear that Chen Lang liked his proud work.

"Yes, in fact, I have watched your performance and found that you are very good at dancing, especially all kinds of street dance, and I also like street dance very much, especially the mechanical dance and space step." Chen Lang looked at Michael and said meaningfully.

"You also like hip-hop, COOL, mechanical dance, I like it very much, but what kind of dance is Space Step? Is it also a type of hip-hop? Michael's eyes lit up when he heard hip-hop, and it seemed that hip-hop had scratched Michael's itch.

"I like hip-hop very much, so I've been collecting hip-hop types and movements from all over the world, but I found that the popularity of hip-hop in the world is very low, so I will figure out hip-hop by myself, mechanical dance you should know, and space step is my own name, in fact, it is a variety of sliding steps." Chen Lang said.

"Sliding steps? Is that so? Michael is obviously very keen on hip-hop and directly made a backward sliding step, but the movement is not very natural, the completion is not perfect, and it is slightly stiff.

Chen Lang knew that Michael's first space walk was in 1983, and he may not have fully mastered this unique skill by now.

Chen Lang didn't speak, and directly began to perform the three basic dance steps of the space step: back sliding, side sliding and sliding in place. Michael's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "My God, this is the Space Walk, it's amazing." ”
