New York 1988

Chapter 24
Amid the scolding, on the 3rd, Han Sheng and Michael Jackson flew to New York.

After Kansas City, the second stop of BAD's world tour is New York.

The concert in New York still needs some preparation time, so Han Sheng went home temporarily and took the SAT test on the 5th.

Aunt Dorothy went home with him.

However, there is no such joy as returning home, but the atmosphere at home is somewhat dignified.

It's not that Han Zheng and the others are unaware of Han Sheng's risky plan, but now that there are too many scolding outside, they are inevitably worried about the consequences if they can't make a comeback in the end.

Elizabeth is the only one who is calm, especially after listening to the two singles Han Sheng gave her - "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" and "I Will Always Love You".

"To be honest, no matter how many excuses you make, or how good your rapping and dancing are, the MV for "Dangerous" is really too casual!"

Elizabeth finally couldn't hold back her complaints.

This is the opinion of the family members who know the detailed plan, let alone others.

For example, on the 4th, when he went to school to make final preparations for the SAT test.

When the students who rushed to school early in the morning saw him, they had wonderful expressions and whispered in various ways.

"Look, Vincent is here, he's a big star now?"

"He's so handsome, I knew a guy like him would be a big star!"

"Fart big star, he was scolded miserably!"

"That's right, it's shameless to rub Michael's heat, and then use his concert to sell records, it's really shameless!"

"Yeah, everyone said that his records are terrible, and he is not a big star. I think he will be finished sooner or later!"

"Have you bought his record, have you heard it? It's obvious that he sings very well and dances very well. I think it's better than Michael Jackson's dance, and it's even cooler!"

"Who dances better than Michael Jackson, he is just imitating, that kind of stuff, many fans can do it!"

"That's right, it's really cheating money for someone like him to release records!"

With all kinds of pointing and pointing, there are many negative reviews and few positive reviews, which shows the influence of the media on the public.

However, what Han Sheng saw was that many people knew about his record release.

Therefore, I didn't take the bad reviews to heart at all, but was very happy.

……

After completing preparations for the SAT test on the second day at school, Han Sheng went to NBC in the afternoon to participate in a news interview broadcast at [-] p.m.

There is no "Conan Show" or "Ellen Show" these days, but there are "60 Minutes", "Larry King Live" and "Oprah's Talk Show".It's just that Han Sheng is still a babyartist, so he is not qualified to appear on these famous shows.

Therefore, a short interview during the instant and popular news period is a propaganda method used by many big names nowadays.

The only downside is that you have to spend money.However, this is nothing more than a trifle to Warner, who has not had time to spend money on the early publicity.

The location of the interview is on the stage of Michael Jackson's upcoming concert. It seems that I came to interview Michael Jackson and found him by chance, so I interviewed him by the way.

"Hi, are you Vincent?" Streisa, the hostess with blond hair and blue eyes and big lights, looked like she just recognized her, "Can I ask you a few questions by the way?"

"Of course, it's my pleasure!"

"Well, will you appear at Michael's concert this time?" After Han Sheng nodded in the affirmative answer, "Well, for this, it is said that you are a rascal and tied to Michael. Use this to consume his popularity!"

"This is actually a publicity strategy, like every new singer who comes out will use various publicity methods to advertise to the public. Otherwise, no matter how good the work is, it is easy to be buried."

"And then, that's the idea that our King of Pop, Mr. Michael Jackson, came up with, and I'm just the executor!"

Michael Jackson, who had already agreed in advance, smiled and said, "This guy is the one I signed, and I get the bulk of all his profits, so why not let him take advantage of my popularity.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is really a very good guy, and the quality of his works can't be said, any cheating money is completely slandering! "

I say that because some people are already inciting fans to boycott.

Then, if the fact that Michael Jackson is also a beneficiary is revealed, not only will fans not resist, but they may fall in love with each other.

Of course, as Michael Jackson said, if the work is good, if you just use a bad thing to cheat money, that would be wrong.

"Are you going to use this kind of propaganda all the time?"

"No, we also use the most common radio and other publicity. It's just that as a newcomer, I have very few resources, and then they are all covered up by the overwhelming scolding!"

This is true, so it also caused a burst of laughter.

"Well, Michael keeps saying that you have great singing skills and a variety of styles, and you have recorded a lot of other great songs in other styles. I am curious, why did you choose "dangerous" instead of others?"

"This is still a means of publicity. At that time, we thought it was similar to Michael's style, which was a kind of tribute, but we didn't expect the big guy to call the tribute a shameless imitation."

Michael Jackson also said at the side at this time: "When a newcomer releases a new record, how to choose the means of publicity has always been a difficult choice and a very painful thing.

How to let everyone know and remember that this is the most important thing at once, and then, we thought that rubbing my popularity would be better to achieve this effect, so we chose this! "

All doubts were resolved at once.

At least, except for the identity of Chinese descent, other shameless imitations and so on are no longer tenable.

Then, there is a demonstration of kung fu.

The blonde Streisa looked at the props on the stage, pretending to be surprised: "Vincent, will your performance be different this time?"

"The song is the same, but with a part of kung fu show!"

The kung fu demonstration he mentioned is mainly a Wing Chun routine, a sparring with Luo Zhigang and others, an action similar to flying over a wall, flying two or three meters high, and continuously kicking and hitting targets in the air.

The routine is not an ordinary routine, but eight wooden dummy stakes are placed, and the body walks through them flexibly and quickly, and at the same time, various swift and fierce blows are made with both hands - watching the silver snake-like walking and the bursting Even Michael Jackson, who has watched it several times, is still amazed by the bombardment, not to mention the reporters and cameras of NBC.

And sparring is also more real and brutal than ordinary routines, at least in the eyes of laymen.

But when he flew two or three meters into the air, and his body continuously bombarded the small sandbags in the air as if flying, the big guy was dumbfounded again.

"I fucking feel he can fly, really, not to mention jumping so high, his body is still so light!"

"Only I think he has a good figure. I saw his abs, and I wanted to go up and bite him... Falk, his face is more handsome. I think after this show is broadcast, many girls and daughters-in-law They will all lick the screen!"

"He is indeed super photogenic. Although some people are handsome, they are miserable on camera, but he shines even more. This is simply a guy who was born to eat this bowl of rice!"

……

After the interview was over, Warner's publicists, Michael Jackson and Han Sheng's agent, Dorothy, had to go to NBC to confirm the content of the post-interview edit and broadcast, and strive to achieve the best results.

This is also normal operation.

At seven o'clock, Han Sheng's family and Dorothy watched TV together. When Dorothy came back, she said that the editing effect was excellent.

At [-]:[-], it was finally their turn.

As Dorothy said, although it seems to be interviewing Michael Jackson, the camera is more on Han Sheng, and the shots are very good and very photogenic.

Even Julia praised, "Honey, you are really photogenic!"

"That's not true. When editing, the women on the TV station were all drooling like crazy," Dorothy joked with a smile.

The kung fu demonstration that followed was even more excellent, showing the agility, swiftness, and bursting of kung fu to the fullest, just like watching a movie. Even Han Zheng asked after seeing his flying posture in the air: "Where is this?" Did you use any props?"

"No," Dorothy said first, and looked at Han Sheng with admiration: "I think Vincent will definitely be more powerful and famous than Bruce Lee in the future!"

Dorothy's praise was not because of her own cubs.

She really felt that way.

Then, around nine o'clock, people from Warner called excitedly and yelled over there: "In the two hours after the show was broadcast, many record chain stores called us to ask for goods, saying to buy them. The number of people at Vincent Records has suddenly increased, and many of their stores have sold out...!"

It can be seen from this that NBC's "interview" that lasted for three minutes and 30 seconds answered the hype and showed more of Han Sheng's excellence, how effective it was.

Even Victoria called, "Congratulations kid, my grandfather told me we did a good job!"

By this time, Han Zheng and Julia were finally relieved a lot.

……

Amid the joy, Jennifer Aniston called.

"Big star, haven't you come to see me since you came back for so long?"

"Sorry, I've been super busy these two days...!"

"Then can you come out now?"

"Of course, where are you?"
