Chapter 96 with Michael

Michael is popular, and "Beatit" is popular!

His music video was first invested by the company and was broadcast on the cable network. But two days later, the momentum changed to various TV stations and radio stations, and paid for authorization to play videos and singles of the song on their programs.

Almost most of the media participated in the commentary on this song.

And they are all well received!

Serious newspapers and TV programs in society all praised the song's meaning, believing that this song is positive and healthy, and advised teenagers not to always use violence to solve problems. If everyone can accept this persuasion, there will be less violence among teenagers that plague society, which is a blessing for the whole society.

Music people think that the tune of this song has a strong sense of rhythm and has the distinctive characteristics of black music. It is a good song.

Dancers believe that the dance choreographed by Michael is a culmination of the development of street dance in ten years. It summarizes a scattered dance, making the subsequent development of street dance more orderly. Although it cannot be compared with elegant traditional dances such as Latin dance for the time being, it will definitely be loved by more ordinary dance enthusiasts, especially teenagers.

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

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

...

In New York, a 16 or 17-year-old boy, wearing a black portable recorder with a bright silver squid, put down the recording on the street where tourists were crowded with tourists and pressed the play button above.

The song "Beatit" suddenly came out of the speaker.

It is slightly different from the music video. There is no long silent picture here, and it is directly the rhythmic percussion instrument that plays the prelude to the music.

This is the rhythm of preparing for a street performance.

The tourists made an excitement and made a move to await his performance.

Many tourists also turned their attention to the portable recorder, which is easy to carry but has the same effect as a desktop recorder, giving them a sense of illumination.

The boy performed the dance that Michael jumped along with the music.

Naturally, his movements were not as relaxed and generous as Michael, and he was free and comfortable. The moon was walking in a decent manner, but the performance was too strong, but the audience still watched it with relish. A few people who had not seen this music and dance on TV regarded it as a god, and were full of exclamations.

Tourists took out their cameras and took pictures of this scene.

The portable recorder also kept entering their cameras and was recorded by tourists.

The music ended, and the boy stopped the recorder and left with it.

The tourists watching the streets also dispersed. Such improvisations were seen on the streets of New York, and it was not surprising that they felt novel.

The boy walked through a block and then on another street, making the same move.

...

In Manhattan's Brooklyn, a teenager carries a portable recorder, and the volume is loud, dancing intoxicatingly to the music while walking.

...

In the San Francisco street performance center, a street performer performs various street dance moves along with the music music placed next to him. His dance was not learned from Michael, but there were also many onlookers.

...

In the past, street dance required the preparation of huge desktop speakers, amplifier equipment, batteries, or temporary wires from nearby, and the arrangement of speakers was very time-consuming and troublesome.

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

However, during this period, you can often see people carrying a lightweight portable recorder. As long as you are interested, you can have a casual performance anytime and anywhere. When the performance is over, you will immediately leave with the recorder.

The good sound quality, practicality and portability of the portable recorder quickly came into the eyes of everyone.

The first thing I like is those who also like street performances.

Then, under their leadership, street groups, gangsters and young people in various cities fell in love with this kind of recorder.

As this trend gradually spread, people could see four or five teenagers gathered together to play, dancing around a portable recorder, or doing nothing, crossing the railing, making the recorder louder, listening to the song, and occasionally jumping onto a paragraph.

Teenagers often carry portable recorders and show off on the streets, and they will make the recorder louder.

As more and more people choose portable recorders, its dealers have also set up counters in more electrical malls and supermarkets across the United States from two stores in New York and San Francisco. Their prices are from $299 to $999, only one-third or even one-fifth of desktop audio.

Soon, the buyer of portable recorders changed from teenagers to small shop owners and street vendors.

They are trapped in their own shop all day long and are very bored.

Now that they have such inexpensive and good sound quality portable recorders, they have more entertainment during the boring time to watch the store.

When the edited "Beatit" was broadcast as an advertisement, the camera highlighted the portable recorder. Its high and low sound performance and huge volume were recognized and accepted by more and more people, and the sales of portable recorders began to jump.

In Japan and in Europe, advertising campaigns led by "Beatit" have been launched one after another, and markets have been opened one after another.

...

At the entrance of Chinatown, San Francisco in the early morning, at the entrance of the newly opened Sagitar Trading Supermarket, the store door has not yet opened, and there are already long queues outside. At first glance, there are all young people, teenagers, especially boys, and some girls, with black and white skin colors, and there is no difference.

"Hey, brother, is this store selling portable recorders?" Lei Jin got up at four o'clock in the morning and was ranked ninth at this moment - in front of him, there were eight people who came earlier than him!

"Of course! Haven't you read the newspaper? There are only two stores in the United States that sell ST100 exclusively!" Behind him, a tall white boy looked at the huge poster on the glass of the store, his eyes fascinated, and his face was full of impatient excitement.

Because the United States has a huge number of guns, the law stipulates that all shops and office buildings are not allowed to turn off the lights at night to avoid being attacked when the bad guys are hiding. If the shop turns off the lights, the police have the right not to enter the shop to investigate after receiving the alarm, and all losses caused shall be borne by the store themselves.

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

In order to save electricity, some stores turn off some of the lights in the store, but the outside part is as bright as daytime. Even inside, there are a small amount of lights for lighting, so that outsiders can see the layout of the store and the various products displayed at a glance.

What the boy looked at was a Michael Jackson poster posted on the glass door. In a huge photo of half of the glass door, Michael was almost the same as a life-sized one. He was carrying a tape recorder and watching his movements danced with the music.

The photo captured him at the critical moment of dancing, his fluttering hair, sweat, passionate movements and expressions, full of dynamic feeling.

At the top of the poster is a huge line of English: ST100, you will be with you at all times!

This is the portable recorder that Michael Jackson quickly became popular and was quickly recognized and sought after by people. These American teenagers didn't know that the number of ST is the pinyin abbreviation of portable, but they didn't need to know that much. As long as they understand, ST100 is a portable recorder, the model code 100 is enough.

The weather was not very cold at the end of March, but the temperature difference between morning and evening was still relatively large. These teenagers came to queue up with excitement, but after waiting for a few hours, they still felt cold in their hands and feet. They had to put their hands and chests on their chests and quickly stomped their feet to increase blood circulation throughout their bodies.

Their desire is the innermost part of the glass shop, the small commodity city, which is densely packed with portable recorders.

The code-named ST100 in the advertisement taken by Michael, but from the glass door just now and on another product list, they saw that this was just a standard model.

In addition to the ST100, there is also the ST110. This is a small and compact model, which is only two-thirds of the size of the standard model. It is very suitable to be placed on the head of the bed and listen to music before going to bed. Of course, this compact model has a smaller power than the standard model. If you want to play on the streets with a lot of environmental noise, you will feel a little overwhelmed.

Another ST120 is a standard enhanced model with a dual dominant shaft that can automatically convert the playback track. After listening to one side, you can automatically convert the head direction without taking out the tape and play the sound track on the other side.

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

This is much more expensive than the first three types. Ordinary teenagers will definitely not be able to afford it without their parents' support.

This luxury ST140 adopts a high-end matte design, the panels and buttons all look high-end and elegant, solemn and elegant. Even if it is not a recording and playback device, it is fully qualified to be placed in the living room as a high-end furnishing.

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

The price of 799 is far from comparable to the standard type. Even for ordinary families, if they want to buy such a luxurious type, they will probably have to raise some money to pay it out.

Only those white-collar middle-class people can easily afford the money without frowning.

Lei Jin held his hand in his pocket, holding the three hundred dollars he saved from working, his palms were covered in sweat.

This is his income from the entire winter vacation. He originally planned to buy basketball and skateboards, but now, his goal is a ST100, just like the one in Michael's hand!

At 8:30 in the morning, the store door was not open yet, and the crowd in line had already seen the clerks in groups of three or three through the glass door. The clerks entered through the employee passage at the back door. They were buttoning the buttons of their work clothes, patrolling the store with a chat and laughing, and re-arranged some goods.

The pressure from behind Lei Jin suddenly increased.

Because the poster says that during the first day of sales, the top 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 working to afford a ST100!

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

The people behind were pushing and some tried to mess up the team so that they could catch up with troubled waters and squeeze into the front. In the store, the clerks ignored this scene and had no reason to come out to organize the team. Anyway, they only needed to give preferential treatment to the top twenty guests.

"Hold the waist of the people in front of you and don't let those little gangsters mess up the team!" someone shouted in the team.

At the same time, Lei Jin held a pair of hands behind him and hugged them tightly around his waist. The team behind him became even more turbulent, and screams from boys and girls kept coming.

Lei Jin quickly stuffed the money in his pocket into the inner bag of his chest, and tightened the waist of the man in front of him.

The human chain stopped the gangsters who tried to mess up the team. Only people heard people scolding each other, but the team finally settled down.

At nine o'clock, the store door finally opened.

The crowd that had been lined up for several hours rushed in. At this moment, the orderly team just now was completely in chaos, and everyone was running desperately. The people behind pulled the people in front, trying to pull them behind, and the crowd squeezed into a ball.

Lei Jin kept his head down and ran forward quickly, jumped over a slippery boy's head, ran to the counter in one breath, without even having time to take a breath, so he took out the sweaty banknotes and handed them to the salesperson, shouting with all his strength: "Come ST100!"

Just behind him, the slippery boy was crying, cursing loudly at the person who pushed him down, shouting in despair: "That's my place! I was in the front! It should be my discount, mine!"

Lei Jin ignored everything and stared at the salesperson's every move with anxiety.

When the salesperson handed the ST100 cardboard box to his hand, he hugged it, holding it so tightly that he didn't want to let go.

The corners of his mouth were grinning, and he smiled so brightly.

This is my ST100!

I bought it, I owned the same laptop recorder as Michael, and I could listen to music, sing, and dance with him.
Chapter completed!
