In the late summer of 1984, two songs and dance films were released in the United States. In the film, as the lights swayed, a group of dance enthusiasts swayed with their hands and danced dance steps like wooden robot movements. It had a very strange name - "breakdance"!

In fact, the history of breakdancing was born as early as 1949. When a black singer from the East Coast of the United States sang his new song on TV, he boldly created a series of dance moves that could be called "strange" at the time based on the rhythm and accompaniment of his songs.

With the development of 20 or 30 years, breakdancing has changed from its original strangeness. After the release of this movie, it has quickly become popular in the streets and alleys of the United States. Countless young men and women sweat freely and danced breakdancing with the explosive dance music.

The exaggerated dance moves and fast-paced music not only make Americans feel the infinite joy of life, but also set off a break-dance craze in China on the other side of the distant ocean.

In July 1987, the movie "Break Dance" was officially released in China. The first coastal areas and Shanghai were screened, which had already set off a break dance craze. Perm a curly hair, wear sportswear, wear a scarf, play a fast-paced music, and dance exaggerated break dance, which has become a fashionable symbol of young people.

Breakdancing enthusiasts wearing strange clothes and exaggerated dances can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.

As the movie was released in Beijing, this wave gradually spread to the north.

Central Conservatory of Music.

Li Yange was still in the corridor and heard the song "The Little Girl Under the Street Light" ringing in the dormitory.

He raised his eyebrows and walked quickly to the door of the dormitory. When he opened the door, he saw Xue Ke standing in the middle, his hands rising and falling, like waves.

Fang Yuanchao and Liu Wen, who were sitting by the bed, looked at Xue Ke's dance moves attentively, and were reluctant to let go of them at all.

"I said, what are you nervous about? The music is so loud, so you are not afraid of being scolded by the dormitory manager."

Li Yange put down his backpack.

"What are you afraid of? School hasn't started yet?"

Xue Ke walked over and turned off the tape recorder, turned back with excitement and asked, "How is it? How is my breakdancing? Does it look like a whirlwind in a movie?"

"You're still like a whirlwind?"

Li Yange glanced at him and said, "Forget it, your limbs are inconsistent and are not suitable for dancing. Just play your bass honestly."

A few days ago, breakdancing was released in Beijing. Li Yange and Cheng Shaojun followed Xue Ke and the others to watch a recently popular movie "Breakingdancing".

This song and dance film about break dance youths quickly attracted the attention of rock youths as soon as it was released. In addition to the novel break dance, foreign girls who show off their figure in yoga clothes are also the main reason why this movie becomes popular quickly.

"That won't work."

As Xue Ke said, he picked up a red ribbon on the table and tied it to his forehead: "I still think about singing and breakdancing when I go to the dance hall tonight!"

Fang Yuanchao agreed with Li Yange's words very much, shook his head and said, "Forget it, Xue Ke, Yange is right. You don't dance well and have no potential to dance."

"Do you think I want to learn? Now everyone is dancing breakdancing. If we don't learn, we will fall behind?"

Xue Kebai turned around and asked, "By the way Yan Ge, how is the album selling now? Are there 300,000 copies?"

"It should be faster, mainly because the production in Guangzhou cannot keep up, otherwise it will be sold a little more."

When talking about the album, Li Yange was a little helpless. He had already greeted Li Qiang before and asked him to reprint it earlier. Who knew that it had delayed it for a few days, so now that the album sales are obviously hot, but it is often out of stock.

"It's almost 300,000 copies? Then we are also popular singers." Xue Ke's eyes lit up. He was very proud of his recent album sales. With his hot albums, no matter where he performed at the dance hall, he could have a lot of fans.

With the release of the movie "Break Dance", the song "The Little Girl Under the Street Light" is also very popular. You can often see young people holding large tape recorders playing this song while playing it.

"What is 300,000 yuan? You will be truly famous only when you sell it for 3 million yuan." Li Yange shook his head.

Xue Ke exclaimed: "Three million copies? Can we have so many albums?"

"Yes, Yan Ge, can you sell three million copies?" Fang Yuanchao and Liu Wen were also stunned. When they said that they were almost 300,000 copies, they were already very surprised. Unexpectedly, Li Yange had such a great ambitions that he actually wanted to sell three million copies.

"You don't think about how big our domestic market is. Now Beijing alone sells 100,000 copies, and Guangzhou also has 200,000 copies. When the new era audio-visual is fully distributed in the south, I guess one million copies will be broken by the end of September. As for three million copies, it is only a matter of time."

Now the sales of albums in Beijing have exceeded 100,000, while the sales in Guangdong are better, almost 200,000.

In addition to working overtime to rush the production, in order to make sales better, the people of the new era also re-promoted the album and the Baojiajie Band.

As long as the whole distribution in the south is full of goods, it is simply a little bit of a matter of spending millions. In addition, the breakdancing craze is now sweeping across the country, and this album contains the divine song "The Little Girl Under the Street Light", which is difficult to sell without making a big deal.

It’s a pity that Times Records is too small and has no publicity channels at all. Now it still has half of the profits for New Times Video. Otherwise, taking advantage of this east wind, I would have made a lot of money.

However, Time Records holds the popular rock band Baojiajie Band, and it is still no problem to expand its distribution channels and grow its scale a little.

The four of them were chatting when suddenly someone pushed open the door. Tian Zhennan ran in anxiously and said, "Good thing, good thing!"

"What's wrong?" Li Yange and others asked in confusion.

Tian Zhennan said excitedly: "Just just now, I met a student from Peking University at the school gate. He said he was from the Peking University Cui Jian fan club and wanted to invite our band to perform at the Peking University Auditorium next week."

Xue Ke was stunned: "Go to Peking University to perform?"

"Yes, it's said that in addition to us, Cui Jian and the others will also go there."

"Then go! I haven't been to Peking University yet. This time I have to take a good look at what Peking University is like." Fang Yuanchao clenched his fists and looked excited. He really didn't expect that he would have the chance to perform at Peking University.

You should know that the highest institution of learning in the country is Peking University and Tsinghua University. Even if Fang Yuandao is a student of the Central Conservatory of Music, he still yearns for this college at Peking University.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly there was a figure outside the door, Guo Yazhi who was returning home during the summer vacation.

"nothing."

After Li Yange said casually, he looked at Guo Yazhi and said, "I said Lao Guo, when did you come back?"

"I just got off the train and came to the school."

Guo Yazhi took out a message from his pocket: "By the way, Yan Ge, this is the package I just brought to you from the doorman, and it was sent from abroad."

“Sent from abroad?”

Li Yange took the small package and looked at the cover. It turned out to be sent by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and the place where the delivery was still in the United States.

He opened it in confusion and saw a video tape inside, accompanied by a letter.

Video tape? It's not a Japanese feature, right...

While Li Yange was still puzzled by the contents of the videotape, he opened the letter and found out that the videotape was actually a videotape released by "The Last Emperor" in the United States.

In mid-June, after "The Last Emperor" was released in the United States, the box office was not particularly ideal, so the videotape was released early.

As soon as Sakamoto went on a business trip to the United States, he bought a volume and kept it as a souvenir. He also sent a volume to Li Yange.
