America: Child stars start with The Shining

The stage lights suddenly dimmed, leaving only a pure white spotlight that fell straight down from above, enveloping Michael Jackson completely.

Suddenly, the beat started!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

MJ leaned slightly forward, his toes lightly touching the ground, his shoulders swaying to the rhythm, looking at the crowd below, and sang loudly:

"Lovely is The Feeling Now! Fever, Temperatures Rising Now..."

The moment the first sentence was uttered, the crowd erupted in screams that nearly lifted the ceiling.

Just then, Charles and Jack walked onto the stage with a group of backup dancers. For some reason, he felt that one of them looked familiar, but the lights were dim and he couldn't see clearly.

Just as he was about to move closer, Jack suddenly shoved him from behind and said:

"Hey! Hurry up, kid!"

Charles stumbled and was pushed directly into the circle of light, which then shone directly on his face.

Immediately, many people noticed the child and turned their gazes towards him. Some even recognized him and shouted:

"Hey, isn't that the kid who's been rumored to be dating Jodie Foster?"

Charles's expression changed, and he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath:

"Shit, these guys are just staring at this gossip..."

Just then, he noticed that MJ suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

MJ didn't stop dancing; he simply raised an eyebrow and waved at him.

Before Charles could react, Jack had already rushed to the center of the stage and boldly started breakingdance, the most popular dance at the time, in front of the audience.

This thing originated in a neighborhood in New York and was very popular among local young people. At the height of its popularity, Jack was just following the trend.

He quickly started dancing to the beat, pushed off with both hands, and flipped to the side, his heels sliding half a circle along the ground.

A burst of cheers erupted from the audience, and many people began to show their support.

Wow!!!

Fuck, how did this guy steal the spotlight?

Charles gave a wry smile, while Jack was clearly ignited by the atmosphere and became more and more excited as he jumped around. He even deliberately blew a kiss to the audience, which caused a burst of laughter from below.

Charles twitched the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and strode forward.

When MJ saw him walking over, he reached out and grabbed his wrist, giving him an encouraging smile.

In that instant, Charles clearly felt the natural stage presence emanating from the other person, and his heart began to beat faster involuntarily. He also began to sway his body to the rhythm of the drumbeats.

Although he couldn't dance, as a child, he had a very easy grasp of rhythm and movement.

He could even sing a few lines of the lyrics from time to time.

A scene where MJ bends back and sings the chorus along with the music:

"Don't Stop Till You Get Enough!!!"

"Keep On With The Force Don't Stop!!!"

Suddenly, MJ handed the microphone to Charles, who then belted out a high note. Since he hadn't gone through puberty yet, this was a piece of cake for him, and he felt no pressure at all.

MJ's eyes visibly lit up, and he smiled and praised him:

"Yeah! You sang well!"

After saying that, he suddenly took a step forward, raised the microphone slightly, and became completely immersed in the music.

The rhythm exploded again, and the lights flashed in sync with the drumbeats!

Jack was already completely hyped up, jumping around on stage like a crazy man out of control.

Fortunately, his character from The Shining is not yet widely known, otherwise it would definitely scare away a lot of people.

At that moment, Drew, standing below the stage, was completely stunned.

She had just crossed her arms, looking like she was ready to laugh at him, because she didn't think that little brat Charles could adapt to such a lively stage atmosphere.

But now, she had straightened up without her noticing, her fingers unconsciously clenched, her teeth clenched, and her eyes were filled with resentment.

Fuck, why is this guy always so popular?

Whether it's at a movie audition or... on MJ's stage, Fuck!

After giving the stage one last look, Drew immediately turned and left angrily, his steps hurried and heavy.

She originally came here to relax, but now things have gotten even worse.

Charles, of course, was oblivious to the commotion below the stage, completely absorbed in MJ's singing.

Just then, he felt someone pat him on the back.

A female backup dancer moved closer to him and couldn't help but laugh as she said:

"Hey kid, you have a real talent for being a singer."

Charles turned his head, and the moment his gaze fell on the other person's face, he was slightly taken aback.

He suddenly recognized the other person; it was the one who had seemed somewhat familiar when he first came on stage, and memories began to flood back.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"WTF!? Madonna!"

The future pop diva was currently wearing a black, form-fitting dance costume, with her blonde curly hair loosely and messily draped over her shoulders, making her appear sharp and flamboyant.

Xia Dun was immediately agitated.

He already knew that at this time, Madonna was still working odd jobs in New York, performing as a backup dancer and struggling to support her musical dreams with meager earnings.

I never expected to run into you here!

He was just about to say something more when, in the next second, the music changed, and Madonna turned back to the ranks of her backup dancers, putting some distance between herself and Charles.

Charles wasn't in a hurry. Since they had run into each other at this club, it meant there was an opportunity for further contact.

Unlike MJ, who had already signed with a record company, Madonna was penniless at the time, and Charles was confident he could seduce her.

......

Charles pushed open the bathroom door, finally enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet.

The atmosphere on stage just now was absolutely insane, with wave after wave of sound that made everyone's eardrums tingle.

Just as one of MJ's songs ended, he took advantage of the break to quietly slip out and find a quiet place to calm down.

It's all Jack's fault for urging him to go on stage. After all that fuss, he's exhausted. It's late at night, and he's starting to feel sleepy.

Charles turned on the tap and splashed some cold water on his face to perk himself up.

suddenly.

A strange noise came from outside the bathroom window.

It sounded like...gunshots!?

Charles's heart tightened suddenly, and he instinctively pressed himself against the corner of the wall, holding his breath and listening carefully for a while.

Fuck, it's fucking nearby!

boom!

The next second, a stray bullet suddenly shot in through the window, whistling past Ciel's scalp!

The glass shattered instantly, shards flying everywhere!

Charles felt his heart skip a beat, his ears ring, and cold sweat poured down his back.

At this moment, the entire club was still immersed in a restless atmosphere, and no one noticed the commotion outside.
