颤栗40周年纪录片（2023）

Right? The kick.
当我们看到一个黑人踮起脚尖
To see a Black man standing on his toes,
我们看到了这个画面 但却没有意识到
seeing that and not being conscious of it
这会影响到未来每一代 黑种人 黄种人 白种人
has made generations of Black, brown, white,
无论是什么肤色的孩子们都会觉得一切皆有可能
whatever color kids feel like anything was possible.
它的影响力比我们想象和认知的都要大
It's bigger than I think we, uh, think and acknowledge.
迈克表演完后
After Mike finished,
制片人不得不拿起麦克风说
the producer had to get on the microphone and say,
女士们 先生们 拜托 拜托
"Ladies and gentlemen, please, please,
请不要四处走动 马上回到座位
gather yourselves and take your seats.
我们还有更多节目等着呢
We have more show to tape.
还会有更多的表演
There's much more show coming."
人们花了一分钟缓过神来 男人们重新整理好领带
And it took a minute for people to get their ties back together
而女人们重新戴上假发
and the women to put their wigs back on.
好吧 我有一个问题要问你
Okay, I have one question for you.
当时是哪位不幸的艺术家接替了他上场呢
Who was the unfortunate artist who had to come on
那我不记得了
I don't remember.
我认为那是他从组合脱颖而出的重要时刻
I think that was the moment that he had his breakout moment from the... from the group.
那首歌♥《比利·简》
That song, "Billie Jean,"
以及那个晚上 他的表演方式
and the way he performed it on that night
设立了巨星该有的标准
set the standard of what it was to be a megastar.
演出结束后的第二天 弗雷德·阿斯泰尔打电♥话♥到我家
The next day after the show, Fred Astaire called my house.
他说 "我昨晚看了你的演出
He said, "I saw the show last night.
我录了下来 今天早上我看了两遍
I taped it. I watched it twice this morning."
他说 "你太了不起了
And he said, "You were incredible.
你真是个出色的舞者 你简直把他们甩了一条街"
You're a hell of a mover, and you really put them on their ASS," he said.
我说 "天哪 谢谢你
And I said, "God, thank you.
你这么说 真是太好了
It's so wonderful for you to say that,
因为我觉得你是最棒的"
'cause I think you're the best."
能得到像他这么厉害的人的肯定 也是我的收获
And that was my r-reward, 'cause I think he's brilliant.
对于古典舞者来说
To a classical dancer,
你要注意你的线条 以及衔接的动作
it's about your line, it's about the shapes that you're-you're making.
迈克尔就是这么做的
And Michael does that.
对我来说 这与科班出身的舞者非常相似
That, to me, is very similar to a trained dancer,
尽管他没有接受过专业训练
even though he wasn't trained.
他会是理想的芭蕾舞演员
He would've been the ideal ballet dancer.
他身体的比例很好
The proportions of his body.
他身材匀称 修长 而且就像...
He was lean, uh, and long, um, and just had, like,
就像他天生就会自然的舞动
a natural instinct when he moved.
但是... 但是对动作的把控又如此到位
But there... but there was such precision and clarity.
他是个完美主义者
He was a perfectionist,
而这就是舞者的特质
and that's what dancers are.
你知道如果你没有对此充满激♥情♥和热爱 那你就不愿意付出心血
You know, you don't commit that type of time and sacrifice your body, the injury, all of those things,
去磨练你的身体啊 忍♥受痛苦 等等
if you don't have the passion for it and the love for it.
这些都解释了 迈克尔
And all of that sums up Michael
为什么能成为一个舞者 表演者 艺术家
as a dancer, as a performer, as an artist.
迈克尔·杰克逊并没有在短片里发明新舞步
Michael Jackson didn't invent dancing on film,
但他有着独特的融合
but his particular synthesis
一方面来自于是尼古拉斯兄弟
of the Nicholas Brothers on one hand
鲍伯·佛西 阿斯泰尔 震感舞 锁舞 月球漫步
and Bob Fosse, Astaire, popping, locking, moonwalking
从来没有人像他那样 把这些元素加在一起
No one had ever put those elements together before like that.
你可以看到他通过MV来诠释 比如
You can see it all the way through from
《比利·简》《避开》和《颤栗》
"Billie Jean" and "Beat It" and "Thriller,"
甚至他们都影响到了其他艺人
all the way through to all of these other artists.
比如MC Hammer的《你不能碰这个》
Look at MC Hammer, "U Can't Touch This."
还有亚瑟小子和贾斯汀·汀布莱克
Then you go forward to, like, Usher and Justin Timberlake.
再一直到现在的贾斯汀·比伯
And then you go farther forward to Justin Bieber,
豆荚猫 火星哥
Doja Cat, Bruno Mars.
迈克尔一直在被效仿
Michael is emulated.
如果你看BTS 你就能感受到
If you look at BTS, you can see it.
我完全迷上了BTS
I'm all in with BTS.
我喜欢那些家伙
I love those guys.
他们每个动作都充满了迈克尔·杰克逊的影子
Every move they do is all Michael Jackson.
迈克尔创造了这一切
Michael created that.
整个韩流风潮
The entire K-pop wave,
他们在舞台服装 音乐MV和舞台艺术 全方面向迈克尔学习过
they've all studied Michael in terms of stage clothes, video clothes and stagecraft.
BTS有个很棒的MV
There's a great video if you watch BTS.
有很多迈克尔·杰克逊的元素
There's a lot of Michael Jackson.
你可以从他们的舞蹈中看出来
You see it in their dancing.
所以 在整个K-pop风潮
So, the entire K-pop movement,
他们都是这个浪潮的一份子
they're students of the game.
再比如说一些千禧一代的嘻哈艺术家
You can look at a number of millennial hip-hop artists--
Polo G就是其中之一
Polo G being one of them--
23 24岁 来自芝加哥
23, 24 years old, from Chicago,
他对迈克尔·杰克逊非常着迷
yet he's very much in trance with Michael Jackson
他在他的音乐中使用迈克尔·杰克逊的音乐 还有形象
and he uses Michael Jackson music and imagery in some of his music.
那天晚上 我只是四处兜风
It was just a night I was riding around,
我坐在我的车里 我只是在听着
I was riding in my car, and I was just listening
迈克尔·杰克逊的采访
to Michael Jackson interviews.
我没在听音乐
I wasn't listening to music.
我只是在听他的采访
I was just listening to his interviews.
然后我突然产生了一个想法
And I just came up with this idea, like,
我想 也许我应该做首歌♥还有曲子
maybe I should do, uh, this song and this instrumental
让所有人都摸不着头脑
and just really mess everybody head up
因为我知道 他们不会指望一个年轻艺术家做出这种作品
'cause I know they wouldn't be expecting that from a young artist.
因为我记得我奶奶有张和这一模一样的专辑
'Cause I remember my grandma had this same exact album.
还有我姨妈 也就是我奶奶的女儿
My auntie, who was her daughter,
她是迈克尔·杰克逊的忠实粉丝
she was a big Michael Jackson fan,
所以她总是让我们听MJ的歌♥
so she always had us listening to him.
所以我记得她有这张专辑
So I remember her having this one exactly.
这真挺疯狂的
It's pretty wild.
这说明 迈克尔创造的形象有多么强大
It says how powerful the imagery that Michael created was.
在《颤栗》中
On Thriller,
他在不断变化 你知道吗
his life was evolving, you know,
他的声音处理方式也不同了
and his vocal approach was different.
有普通歌♥手 也有风格派歌♥手
There's vocalists, and there's stylists.
风格派必胜
Style wins.
因为 当你听这种歌♥手唱歌♥
When you can hear a person sing
你能在最初的几个小节中 就认出他是谁
and recognize them fr-from the first couple bars,
你能掌握 一些特别的点
you know you got something special.
他们有一种独特的音调
They have a special tone,
独特的嗓音 还有独特的表达方式
a special voice, a special delivery.
现在 迈克尔拥有所有这些
Now, Michael had all of that.
就像他 热爱跳舞和热爱表演一样
In just the way he loved to dance and he loved to perform
他把所有 他擅长的旋律
he turned all of that melody that he was so great with
转化为了有节奏的旋律
into percussive melody.
他就是这么做的 他会唱鼓的部分
Well, that's what he did. He would sing drum parts.
他还会唱贝斯线
He would sing bass lines.
他会… 全都是凭借他的节奏感完成
He would, uh... all with his rhythmic inflections.
我们称之为 "人形架子鼓"
We call it "drums in your mouth."
他会Beatbox 他是一个出色的Beatboxer
He would beatbox. He was an amazing beatboxer.
但他会在Beatbox的基础上加入旋律并唱歌♥
But beatbox with melody and sing, you know,
不仅仅是Beatbox
not just beatboxing.
他会将旋律与之融合
He would, you know, integrate melody with it.
你可以在《避开》上听出来这一点
And you can hear it on "Beat It," you know,
就是他对付每一处音节的方式
just the way he would attack each syllable.
我想起 他所有的旋律和歌♥曲
I think of all of his melodies and his songs,
它们都是非常有节奏感的
and they're completely percussive.
我的意思是 它们的节奏非常引人入胜
I mean, they're incredibly rhythmically hooky,
你知道 所有那些歌♥曲 所有他创作的歌♥曲
and, you know, all those songs, and the songs that he wrote
都有这些非常激进的断奏节奏
have these very aggressive staccato rhythms.
就像《比利·简》和《想要挑起事端》
I feel like "Billie Jean" and "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin',"
它们真的很短促而有力
they're really short and stabby.
它们总是 就像… 有一点点 就像
They're always, like... there's a tiny bit of, like,
在他唱歌♥和创作的方式中有一丝丝愤怒和蔑视
anger and, like, contempt in the way that he's singing and writing.
最伟大的灵魂歌♥手 并不害怕感受音乐
The greatest soul singers are not afraid to feel the music,
跟随着音乐的指引去创作
Just do what the music tells them to do.
所有那些新一代的歌♥手 所有那些正在录制和即兴创作的萌新歌♥手
For all the new cats, all the new-school cats that are going on record and ad-libbing,
他们就像...
and they say, like...
不好意思 迈克尔早就玩过这些了
I'm sorry, Michael did that first.
不信 给你瞧瞧
