面具背後的故事 ( 來源:www.michaeljackson.com http://0rz.tw/eGhMq ) THE WORLD UNITES ON NEW MICHAEL JACKSON VIDEO "BEHIND THE MASK" This spring, the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music gave everyone around the world the opportunity to be a part of Michael Jackson's video legacy with The Behind the Mask Project. This groundbreaking, global online casting call prompted people in all corners of the planet who love Michael Jackson's music to shoot, upload and submit their own unique performances for inclusion in the video; the project elicited an unprecedented response from 103 countries in the world. The director Dennis Liu comments, "This has been the most exciting and fun project I think I've ever been involved in. It's been such a privilege, and was incredibly moving to see so many people from all over the world join as one, their creative voices, dance and musical talents bound together by Michael Jackson's spirit and incomparable artistry. We received submissions from the Sahara Desert to Venice Beach, from mountaintops to suburban backyards, with some shots featuring well over one hundred people apiece. All who participated delivered brilliantly." After submissions poured in from all over the globe they were carefully edited down by the director to the best 1600 submissions (including 50 kids and 36 animals). Technology journalist Natali Morris comments, "Michael Jackson was crowdsourcing his videos before crowdsourcing even existed. This project is a perfect way to honor his connection with his fans." The song "Behind the Mask" is a critic and fan favorite from MICHAEL - the unique collection of songs featuring Michael's performances completed posthumously and released in December by the Michael Jackson Estate and Sony Music. MICHAEL was the #1 global album upon its release in December and has shipped over 3 million units worldwide making it one of the biggest albums of 2010. The album's success continues to underscore Michael's importance as a global icon and superstar, transcending cultures and languages. 全球粉絲齊聚面具背後 今年春季，MJ遺產管理委員和Sony讓全世界粉絲有機會成為 "Behind the Mask" MV中 的一份子。這個破天荒的全球線上選角活動召喚了世界每個角落所有歌迷拍攝和上傳他 們自己獨一無二的表演，成為MV的一部分。這項計畫引起全世界103個國家空前熱烈的 響應。 導演Dennis Liu評論說："這是我所參與過最令人興奮和有趣的計畫。我很榮幸，也非 常感動可以看到全世界這麼多人合而為一，他們極富創造力的歌聲、舞蹈和音樂才華， 透過MJ的精神和無與倫比的藝術成就結合在一起。我們收到從撒哈拉沙漠到威尼斯海灘 ，從山頂到郊外的各種片段，其中有些片段超過100人聚集在一起。所有的參與者都表現 出色。" 來自全世界的視頻大量上傳後，導演從中挑選了最佳的1600個片段（包括50個孩子和 36隻動物）。科技新聞記者Natali Morris評論："MJ一直都以集體創作的方式製作他的 錄影帶，這是屬於他的創舉。這個計畫是一個榮耀他與粉絲之間聯繫的完美管道。" Behind the Mask是"Michael"專輯中廣受樂評和歌迷喜愛的單曲。此專輯在2010年12 月發行之時榮登全球銷售冠軍，並出貨300萬張，成為2010年銷售量最高的專輯之一。 此專輯的成功繼續突顯出了MJ身為跨越文化和語言的全球巨星的重要性。 --
