This performance conquered the world and boosted the sales of "Thriller"! The second is "smooth criminal", one of MJ's masterpieces. Wearing a white suit and a white fedora hat, Jackson led a group of gangsters and prostitutes dressed in 1930s style to sing and dance. This song was shot very gorgeously in the song MV of Michael Jackson's BAD album. In the MV, there is also Mj's own 45-degree lean forward. This song was very popular in MJ's bad part tour, dangerous tour and history tour. Especially the 45-degree forward lean is simply unbelievable. In addition, in order to display the 45-degree tilt on stage just like in the MV, MJ developed possibly the most complex dance shoes in the world, allowing millions of live audiences to witness this difficult step at the concert. and incredible performances. MJ also applied for a patent in the United States for this invention. Finally, the song was included in Michael Jackson's final concert. In the movie This is it, you can see that Michael modified the live performance and equipped it with a top-notch stage. The blood-spraying effect can only be seen on the screen. It’s really a pity to appreciate it. It also shows that Smooth Criminal is one of MJ's more successful works. There were distracting stage lights, special shoes, the 45-degree lean that Mike performed in the Smooth Criminal video, and the 45-degree lean stunt he performed in concert. As early as 1993, Mike applied for patent numbers (US5255452) for both inventions. The patent title is "The Illusion of Escape from Gravity." The original "MOONWALK" movie featured the actor leaning forward using a rope tied around the actor's waist. Of course, the rope is processed later in the MV and the audience cannot see it. The forward angle of the actor's body depends on the mechanical control of the ceiling. At that time, you can even see a forward 45-degree rotation in the MV. Later, this method became unrealistic in concerts. Because a rope tied around the waist is simply impossible to set up and take down during a live performance. Secondly, the ropes installed in advance restricted the dance movements of the actors' arms and bodies. Mike thought of another method - the performance in the concert required the tacit cooperation of all links to complete. First, you need dazzling stage lights, smoke generators, and lasers. When Mike needs to perform a stunt, MJ and the backup dancers will approach the "special area" of the stage. Usually the lights in this area will be very dim at this time. The "gangster" played by the staff will immediately appear and perform for a few seconds with explosives in hand. Distract the audience's attention and give MJ time to prepare. When MJ is ready, the "special area" will light up. Mike leaned forward 45 degrees in one go! ! The key detail lies in MJ's special pair of shoes. As you can see from the picture, the heels of the shoes are mechanically connected to the stage, which can firmly fix the supporting points of the body. Technical details: The concert method overcomes the shortcomings of the rope system and allows the concert to proceed continuously. This achieves the visual effect of the body's center of gravity exceeding the support point. At the same time, the stage's "grabbing hook" system can be accurately retracted and retracted at the right time through the control of precision instruments to achieve the purpose of not being discovered. Special reminder: Even so, it would not be possible without the hard training, careful rehearsal and running-in of Mike and the actors. Inseparable from strong back muscles and body balance control! It should be just these two songs, with pictures, thank you!
