I ran back to Beijing from Guangzhou, and for the premiere of MJ's documentary "this is it", I was going to sing "to michael" at the previous ceremony. The ceremony was very chaotic and strange, and Liu Yiwei presided over it - I guess you can't even spell Michael's English, and Wu Hongfei, this woman went up and said: I have no feelings for him, many boys have them, but I don't, I think everyone Anyone can die, and he will die too... Liu Yiwei corrected her and said, "Did you mean to say that he will die, but each of us will die... In an instant, I felt very wanting to die!" !

The atmosphere was so boring that we almost forgot what we were doing. Finally, finally, it was time for me to sing. I was very quiet in my own heart, okay.

The subsequent films are difficult to describe in words - I try to describe my feelings: First of all, for a long time, people (even me) thought that MJ was a symbol of the past, he had not produced a good work for many years, There was no scene that shocked the world. Even if everyone didn't completely forget it, they were downplaying the brand he had given to pop music. But after watching this documentary, which is almost entirely edited from the final rehearsal video, everyone will clearly feel: MJ will always be the king of pop music, and his control of music, stage, and performance is unprecedented. Yes, he is still on top of the world.

Musically, I have to say, this is a textbook that has served me for many years, and is exactly what I need most at my level, not just processing, controlling, but also how to influence, outline, and perform at the level of everything of. Not only is he a creative implementer, but also the source of magic that inspires all collaborators. I will slowly understand this kind of inspiration.

michael is the purest person, he said: the artist wants to give people music and let people escape from life. These words are too powerful. An artist, who is not pure and does not place himself under perfection, how to convince others of the beauty of your music world, and how do you describe to others an ideal country that is far from reality? Actors, storytellers, first of all, you have to believe what you say, you better be what you say. Therefore, focus on your own performance, focus on complete self-improvement, and perfect every detail, otherwise, you are not worthy of being an artist. I already knew it in my heart, but once again, michael, made me realize the urgency of self-cultivation and mission more clearly and strongly.

When michael finished singing "i 'll be there", he said very naturally: Marlon, Randy...Joseph and Catherine, God bless you. This is a rehearsal, but his expression is spontaneous and spontaneous. Blessings, prayers, fill the whole rehearsal process, love music, love everyone who cooperates, and be grateful for everything God has given every day. ...

When watching a movie, I cried a few times, sometimes because of the music itself, and sometimes when I saw an unparalleled splendor, and I thought that this person disappeared forever after this certain video—the heart is eager Pain. This was originally his carefully planned curtain call, but later generations had to edit these rehearsal images as the final record, but this incomplete record is beyond excellence.

I remember that in 1988, I borrowed the videotape of "moon walker" from my classmates. The quality of the tapes that were transcribed many times was extremely rough. There were no subtitles, and I didn't have a video recorder at home. The picture is almost indistinguishable... In the middle of the night, when my parents fell asleep, I got up barefoot and practiced space dance steps in the house. Today, I am sitting in the movie theater, watching MJ's swan song. In my mind, sometimes his life flashes, and sometimes my own growth process flashes, mixed feelings, and tears. MJ, thank you for everything you have given me, I will never slack off in music, faith and life.

When I went out after the movie, Radio Beijing blocked me first, so I was the most embarrassed. After a few words, I burst into tears and had to wait for a long time. Later interviews with other media went well.

I'm going to fly back to Shenzhen tomorrow morning to perform, but I can't sleep tonight. My body and mind are undergoing new changes, and I can clearly feel it.

    There are two impressions: MJ's rigorous rehearsal attitude; the level of MJ's rehearsal stage is so high. Finally sigh: what a gorgeous concert this should have been!

    Singing, shouting and applauding with everyone in the movie theater, I guess it’s only for this one person in a lifetime

This Is It quotes

  • Michael Jackson: With the love, L.O.V.E.

  • Michael Bearden: We need *you* to do the sound check; cause, there can't nobody hear what you need to hear. Some people might not want to have that bass.

    Michael Jackson: I want it the way I wrote it, I mean like the audience hears it. So, whatever the records doing, that's how I want it.

    Michael Bearden: Yeah, that's what - that's what its going to sound like. We got to get closer to what you want. And if you want to get a little more booty on something, something else, you know what I mean. You know what I'm sayin'?

    Michael Jackson: [laughs] A little more booty. That's funny.
