[Entertainment + System + Michael Jackson (MJ) + feel-good power fantasy + showbiz]
Lu Zuofei transmigrates and becomes a loan-shark debtor and love-struck simp at the Beijing Conservatory of Music.
From the start, he’s saddled with 300,000 yuan in debt, scrimping and saving to buy luxury goods for the campus belle.
“Is this guy seriously an idiot?”
To pay off his debt, he puts on the red leather jacket gifted by the System and takes the stage for the auditions of “Singer for All.”
In a Chinese pop scene that favors gentle love songs, the judges dismiss him as a clown who’s just trying to attract attention.
Academic authority: “This trashy, punk-looking crap is supposed to be music? If it becomes popular, I’ll write my name backward!”
Golden boy Tang Yu, whose victory is already assured: “I’d pay a million for a single lyric. What can a genius like me possibly have to fear from you?”
Tens of millions of online viewers: “What the hell is that outfit? So uncool!”
Until
The intro to “Thriller” plays, and the zombie dance leaves the whole crowd stunned! “Beat It” blasts out pounding bass, its hard-hitting rhythm tearing apart their fake refinement! The moonwalk in “Billie Jean” glides across the stage, proving elegance never goes out of style! In “Smooth Criminal,” the white suit tilts at a gravity-defying 45 degrees, conquering the pull of the earth! “Black or White” is performed, livestreamed simultaneously to 500 million people across 27 countries on Blue Star! “Dangerous” brings a fresh take on the Jackson shuffle, its groove setting the midnight dance floor ablaze…
That night, the whole internet was shaken.
You say my clothes are outrageous? Then I’ll start a whole new trend!
You say I’m all over the place? Then I’ll define the new standard of popular style!
MJ is a god. I hope his works don't have too many scenes of him showing off and getting humiliated. Competition is fine, but please, no plots involving framing or malicious competition. That's so pretentious. The way MJ stood still at his concert while the audience screamed was the result of years of hard work to become a world superstar. You've achieved that in just a few songs? Are the audience members all possessed?
Hurry up and go to the international stage, stop singing in this lousy school.
Ah, so satisfying! This is MJ, an insurmountable mountain that all entertainment novels and literature can never cross in their entire lives.
Dear author, I personally feel there could be more detail and foreshadowing. For example, Jam's stage performance was indeed caused by the immense popularity Michael Jackson had built up over a long period, leading to his fainting from excitement. However, if it's for the sake of the novel's pacing and plot, then it's fine. [Please update more frequently!][Please update more frequently!][Please update more frequently!] Finally, please keep writing! 😠
It's not badly written. There are women in it, but most of them seem to be normal people. They don't have deep relationships and are just normal acquaintances. They're just there to complement MJ's talent. It's worth a look.
It feels good. This is the only book in the entire Tomato series that's about Michael. Keep it up!
Well written, and one of the few articles about Michael Jackson. Keep it up! [I highly recommend it!]
Aside from the most brain-boiling old-fashioned and embarrassingly pretentious elements, it's quite interesting.
Of the three iconic songs, the most important part to write about is actually MJ's dance; that's truly the core.
Author, did you know that even the Analects of Confucius is telling you to update more frequently? "At thirty, one stands firm": means you need to update thirty chapters to establish yourself in the online novel world. "At forty, one is no longer perplexed": means updating forty chapters daily to continuously gain readers' gratitude and praise, and no longer be confused about the meaning of…
