happy with heart

I'm not a fan of MJ. Therefore, when I heard the news of MJ's passing, in addition to being unbelievable and regrettable, there was not much sadness. But when I saw the poster of THIS IS IT inadvertently at the Hunan Grand Theater that day, I knew that I would definitely walk into the theater to see this man who once dominated the music hall. Although this film, which should be called a concert tidbit in the true sense, does not have any kind of plot. But who would have thought that it would make such a big ripple in my heart?

In our jargon, MJ is a real old man. And most of the songs he is about to perform in the concert are classic songs that grew up with countless post-80s (of course, I still don’t hear much), a singing that was previously called money-making to get rid of financial debts Yes, it is nothing more than familiarity, and if you handle it properly, you will be able to win applause and screams in one stop. I have also imagined some scenes of some singers before their concerts many times. In my understanding, in this, the singer's job is nothing more than improving the proficiency of songs and dance steps, running in with the dance partners, well, and also the costume styling and the stage. For other work, I take it for granted that there are special personnel in his team who are responsible for this. Maybe I am too extreme, but I think it should be very difficult to have such a person who even personally selects his own concert backup dancer from hundreds of dancers, or very few people will guard next to a monitor, Come to understand every possible effect of the video of your own concert, and even ask again and again for the emotion of a faint melody that is almost overshadowed by the singing and rhythm. Whenever these details appear, I really feel that he is the king, the king who decides everything on this stage, and he knows exactly how he needs to feel and is responsible for his every note. Not like many singers who don't know what they want at the concert, just a manipulated marionette. And seeing MJ like this, I can really feel the joy of his immersion in music, and the incomparable pursuit of what he loves. Perhaps it is this kind of excellence that makes MJ an unsurpassable MJ, and the singer A, B, C, and D is destined to be A, B, C, and D.

Well, I admit that I have to involve myself again with this argument. I can feel MJ immersing himself in the music and finding the kind of joy he wants to feel because I've experienced that kind of joy too. When my own show appears in the way I envisioned, or when my own show appears as a work, not just an industrial product, every frame of the picture excites me. I will grind and edit frame by frame to make those special effects and details that appear in my mind, and I will also design one way after another in the manuscript for the picture to let the picture speak. The joy of that kind of creation is really hard to express in words. But now, I am about to leave such a stage. Is it because I am not working hard enough, or am I lacking in talent?

Well, stop being hypocritical for yourself and keep talking about THIS IS IT. It should be said that when I heard that MJ passed away for so-and-so reasons, the imagined MJ should have been an old man, trembling. A man, then, what else can one ask for? But the MJ in the film is very energetic but it really exceeded my expectations. Not to mention why the light-footed MJ suddenly resigned, the so-called "life is fickle", the so-called "life is fickle", I am surprised at why MJ is so successful. Over the years, perhaps it was the ordinary life that made me no longer have superhuman fantasies about myself, so I avoided thinking that a successful person, or business, or acting and other aspects, could never be the time of his life. enough to reach the top. There must be the accumulation of the previous generation, plus the accumulation of his life. But seeing MJ's figure in the image with my own eyes, I really realized that I was deceiving myself. If you can't do it yourself, you can't do it. If you don't look for the reasons in reality, let yourself avoid the comfort of contentment after the excuse. If you don't have the courage to stick to your dreams, could it be that this is the "talent" created by advanced education? Why I say this, of course, is also related to other emotions. Recently, I feel more and more that some people I come into contact with, those with college degrees, all hope to find a good job and are proud of being a senior worker. Little do they know that the bosses they have fought so far are not as good as them in terms of education. Could it be that the lowly educated are forced to succeed because they have nowhere to go? I don't know, but at least it proves that people are able to persevere in the face of difficulties and forge ahead for a goal, while others like me resign and leave if they are not satisfied. The times make heroes, or the phrase barely comes close to it.

Third, on the second day of watching this film, I suddenly heard the news of Chen Lin's suicide. There are numerous rumors about the reasons for his suicide. But through these rumors, I saw such a message. The stars who were very popular at the time, but now some people have to keep warm under the offensive of newcomers, recall the glorious moments of the year in wine glasses, and turn to bars and second-tier cities to start performing for a living. Some people can see it, but some people have been hard to let go, and some people say that such an opportunity will affect Chen Lin's mood more or less. This again makes me doubt my previous point of view. Like MJ, is it better to leave when he is still in his glory days, or is it better to stick to it and leave alone when no one cares about it? If so, is persistence a good or bad thing? Things in this world are always incomprehensible. Some people persist and succeed, while others persist and commit suicide.

In this prelude to which I should be glad to be liberated, the appearance of this film created ripples in my heart. Tangled, tangled. The final objective conclusion: If this concert is held, it must be a wonderful concert, not only because of MJ's innovative ideas, but more importantly, this is a performance he made with his heart.
