(Seeing that someone is caring about this book, I feel very relieved, at least my persistence is worth it, I can't upload chapters without the Internet in my hometown, this time it's also uploaded in an Internet café, I can only humility if I don't think about it, and I can only have a chance next time I can only return to my place of work, and finally I wish you all a happy new year)
On the second day of the party, many people called and asked for a rebroadcast of the party, because they also wanted to watch the show of dancing in the wind and rain, and for the audience's request, Hu-Nan Satellite TV was naturally happy to see it, and the rebroadcast began at noon that day, and the ratings were quite impressive. Not only that, but in order to tap the last trace of potential, the time slots for singing and dancing in the wind and rain were stripped and integrated into other programs to increase the watchability of the program.
But some people are not satisfied, and an Internet influencer took advantage of the advantages of technology to cut out a separate video of the wind and rain dancing, and spread it on the Internet, and the seven-minute video reached millions of views in 24 hours, adding countless fans to the wind and rain.
In a small town in Los Angeles, USA, at about 8 o'clock in the morning, the cold weather made the temperature drop to a few degrees below zero, and there was a thick layer of snow on the road surface, trees, and roofs.
In a luxurious wooden villa on the side of the road, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy woke up the alarm bell, reluctantly left his warm bed, got up and put on thick clothes, making him even more bloated when he was already a little obese.
Reaching out and combing a handful of yellowed curls on the top of his head, he found his favorite "a beautiful laptop" at the head of the bed, turned on the computer, and very skillfully entered the major websites to hang out. After shopping for a while, I didn't seem to find what I wanted to see, my brows furrowed, my fingers rummaged on the keyboard, and after a few seconds, I entered the website displayed in pure Chinese characters, and it was another toss.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, a dance video made him unable to take his eyes off, click the play button, and the extremely dynamic music accompaniment came out, and an oriental man wearing a U.S. Army combat uniform appeared in the video, and then the man in the picture began to dance a dazzling dance, and the curly-haired boy covered his mouth, surprised, this scene is too familiar, it is the dance of the king of American music, Mike, the man in the video dances no worse than Mike, and even ......, he didn't dare to think about it, and the video was played after a few minutes, The boy felt that he hadn't enjoyed watching it yet, so he downloaded the video to his computer and saved it to watch it when he had time.
The boy who did all this thought about it and posted the video on the local network for more people to share.
Martin is a tabloid reporter who likes to watch videos on the Internet for many years, a habit he has developed over the years, chatting to pass the time, and looking for news worth reporting.
Well, a dance video caught his attention, clicked on it, and the energetic music and infectious dancing made Martin as excited as if he had discovered a new world, "Oh my God, what did I see?" Ha, don't worry about tomorrow's news, the editor-in-chief will definitely give me a bonus, praise God."
That evening, a newspaper caught the attention of Los Angeles citizens, with a striking headline hanging high at the top, very conspicuous. "Space Step Shocked the Eastern Country", next to a photo of dancing on the stage in the wind and rain, occupies most of the page, and the topic is reported in detail below.
"Recently, there was a dance video circulating on the Internet, and the content was very exciting, and yes, it was very good. If you don't know about Space Walk, he must not be an American, of course I'm not talking about Mike Jackson, the dancer is from a mysterious oriental country, a yellow-skinned Chinese-Chinese, mr Feng. You read that right, although he is imitating Mike, his dance steps are very distinctive, and his hot-blooded style is not at all like what a Chinese-Chinese person should have, and I think his dance is different from other Orientals, in line with the positive image of the United States as healthy, energetic, and strong. Anyone who has seen it will love it, I swear in God's name, maybe our dear Mike has met someone......"
The tabloid newspaper that published the news is not very well-known in the United States, but it has a good influence in Los Angeles.
The next day, the citizens of Los Angeles took to the streets and soon discovered the message. The life of Americans is inseparable from music, from the rich officials to the ordinary office workers, and the love for music is not different because of the difference in status.
The eye-catching headlines in the newspapers, coupled with the association with the pop king Mike Jackson, naturally piqued a great deal of interest among them.
After reading the newspaper report, many people searched for the dance video of Wind and Rain on the Internet, and immediately liked it after seeing it, and at the same time, the name of Wind and Rain entered their memory.
In the morning, in a small town in the southern United States, Lauren, a fat man in his forties, opened the door of the grocery store, and a short time later, a group of teenage children crowded into the small store.
"Uncle Lauren, do you have a good dance video today?" The boy with the skateboard asked Lauren.
"Of course, I found a good video, boys, you will definitely like it", Lauren looked at this group of children, her eyes were full of kindness, just like looking at her own children, knowing that they like to dance street dance, and often collect some popular dance videos for them to learn.
"Uncle Lauren, hurry up, I can't wait," said the little boy holding the soccer ball excitedly.
Lauren turned on the LCD TV hanging on the wall, and flipped through the computer next to him, the TV came out of the energetic music, the picture turned, an oriental man appeared on the screen, and began to dance with the rhythm of the music, giving people a strong shock.
"Oh, it's Mike's dance"
"What a strange man, is he from the East?"
"Yay, what a great jump"
"Shut up, Derrank, you're making a noise to me"
"mgood, really good, magical oriental, magical man, I'm starting to like him, ha, more energetic than Mike"
More than a dozen children were talking and their bodies were twisting to the rhythm, their eyes never taking off the TV screen, paying attention to every movement of the man in the video.
In the room of a seaside apartment building, several young men and women in their twenties sat around the sofa, each holding a marijuana in their hands and spitting out the fog, looking like they were on the clouds. Perhaps stimulated by marijuana, shaking their heads one by one, they couldn't stop, one of the young people stood up in a daze, opened a laptop next to him, pulled out a video and chose to play it. Dynamic music sounded in the room, and the picture clearly showed a man dancing, the energetic music and dazzling dance, so that several young men and women could no longer sit still, got up from the sofa, and twisted their bodies desperately in the small space in the center of the room.
After the seven-minute video landed in the United States, it spread like a contagious virus at an alarming rate, and in less than a week, many Americans knew that there was a dance video from the mysterious East.
Of course, knowing is not the same as liking, some Americans who have watched the video feel unacceptable to a foreigner imitating Mike Jackson's dance, thinking that this is plagiarism and immorality, and some people even suggested that the political axe delete it, so that the high-ranking officials of the political axe can't cry and laugh, just a dance video, as for it?
There was a heated discussion on the Internet, and the news-chasing media reacted quickly, and the Christian Science Monitor, one of the major newspapers in the United States, was the first to speak:
"Mike Jackson, the pride of our Negroes, whose dance has appeared in the ancient and mysterious land of the East, represents that the light of our Lord has shone on every land of the earth. Mr Feng, a nice lad, must admit that he is very talented in dancing, yes, the space step, the crotch dance, the zombie dance are all very good, although he has been imitating dear Mike, but we can't deny his strength, the strong are always respectable. If he comes to the United States, I believe he will know how hospitable we blacks are, may God bless him, Amen"
As soon as the newspaper came out, it immediately attracted attention from many sides, and it was the usual style of this newspaper to have sharp words and clear positions, and it did not hide its dissatisfaction with the white world.
The biggest difference between the "Christian Science Monitor" is that it has a lofty status and astonishing influence among black Americans, and the authorities have always taken a blind eye to this disobedient newspaper, and in order not to cause a new round of racial conflicts, as long as they do not make too much trouble, they will not care.
The words in the newspaper were kind to the wind and rain, and many blacks began to notice the existence of this man, and knew that in the far East there was a man who danced very well.
The Christian Science Monitor was so popular that the rest of the newspapers couldn't sit still and published their own stories.
A dance video from the East landed in the United States, and in less than a week, it caused a strong reaction on the Internet, and many Americans were fascinated by it, not a joke, yes, today is not April Fool's Day, this is very certain. It's hard to believe that in that country except for kung fu, in dance, there are people who can compare with us in the United States, MR Feng, an excellent oriental boy, dances very well, completely to the taste of us Americans, and the screaming voice is the best proof of this, although I am very reluctant to admit that he has surpassed Mike Jackson in some aspects of dance. ----Washington post
Pop King Mike Jackson, who had just attended a gathering of friends, rode home in his Lincoln RV, drove to the gate of his private estate, and was spotted by a large group of media reporters rushing out on both sides.
Mike in the car was very surprised, he had an agreement with the media before, he couldn't affect his normal life, let alone see him at home, otherwise he would refuse to be interviewed in the future, wouldn't these media plan to talk about credibility?
One of the bodyguards next to him looked at Mike, "Boss, do you need me to get them away?" Mike shook his head, "Let's see what they have to say."
Mike Jackson got out of the RV under the escort of several bodyguards, and he was greeted with one question after another.
"Mike, have you seen the dance video that has been circulating on the Internet recently?"
"Mike, do you know this person?"
"Mike, there are rumors that MR Wind's dance is better than yours, what do you think?"
