I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

After a fast-paced and brilliant performance.

Jiang Chen's singing also became extremely emotional, causing the atmosphere on the scene to gradually change from silence to agitation.

"And as we wind on down the road..."

“Our shadows are taller than our soul…”

"There walks a lady we all know..."

"Who shines white light and wants to show..."

"Who shines white light and wants to show..."

“How evrything still turns to gold…”

"And if you listen very hard..."

"The tune will come to you at last..."

"When all are one and one is all yeah..."

“To be a rock and not to roll………”

…………

The guitar played by Jiang Chen himself, and the coordination with Pu Yuexi and others was perfect, without any flaws. The restless music, combined with Jiang Chen's roaring singing, made everyone at the scene look extremely moved, as if they had seen the end of the story!

Tony and Jennifer stopped talking, as if they were afraid that their words would disturb Jiang Chen who was singing and break the perfect mood of the song.

However, their expressions were all excited, as if they had seen their favorite things, but because they liked them too much, they did not dare to touch them for fear of disturbing each other.

Many other audience members behind him had almost the same expression.

Everyone looked very excited, but they were all trying to suppress their excitement. Some people even had tears slowly flowing from their eyes. They looked at Jiang Chen as if they were on a pilgrimage, as if they were looking at a work of art.

Jiang Chen once again demonstrated his superb guitar playing skills and played a piece of exciting music with Pu Yuexi and others.

then……

The music suddenly stopped!

Just when everyone was stunned and thought the performance was over.

Jiang Chen sang the last line of the lyrics slowly and a cappella into the microphone.

"And she's buying a stairway to heaven..."

He spoke almost word by word, as if each word carried a thousand pounds of weight.

Every audience member at the scene and those watching on TV were extremely excited, and more and more people couldn't help crying.

After listening to Jiang Chen's singing, they felt as if they had watched an outstanding stage play, and many people felt that their hearts seemed to have become much purer.

finished singing.

Jiang Chen stood on the stage, with his hands behind his back, looking at everyone, and said softly: "Thank you! Stairway to heaven!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen stepped back a few steps and stood between Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing. Together, they bowed slightly to the tens of thousands of people in the audience, indicating that the performance was over.

The two hosts backstage, Allen and Jenna, finally came to their senses and hurried to the stage.

Allen said excitedly: "This is the rock and roll I want, this is the real rock and roll!"

Alan directly said what he wanted to say most in his heart, which was also what many people wanted to say at this moment.

Jenna smiled and said, "You said the same thing last week!"

Allen immediately said, "Yes, last week's song "We Will Rock You" is also what rock should be like in my mind. But this song "Stairway to Heaven" is also what rock should be like in my mind. They are both the best rock songs I have ever heard!"

"If last week's "We Will Rock You" is what rock and roll in the world looks like, then this "Stairway to Heaven" is what rock and roll in heaven should look like..."

Allen gave Jiang Chen's two rock songs extremely high praise, or it could be said to be the highest praise.

Jenna said loudly: "Yes, this is what I imagine rock music should be like. Many people think that rock music should be manic, filled with eroticism and violence. However, Mr. Jiang Chen from China told us what real rock music is."

"Rock music can be rational, full of positive energy, and full of holiness!"

"I am now his die-hard fan..."

Everyone at the scene was awakened by the two people's voices.

then……

This was followed by extremely warm applause.

Rows of audiences stood up spontaneously and clapped their hands vigorously to vent their excitement at the moment.

Tony stood up and finally said in a trembling voice: "God, this is simply the Bible of Rock! It's definitely worth spending money on the tickets this time... If it's a performance like this, I would spend a million and it would be worth it. It's unbelievable that such a Bible of Rock was created and performed by a Chinese singer... Our singers and music creators are eating shit!"

Tony feels like the music he's been listening to in recent years is crap.

Jennifer nodded and said, "Yes, this is real music! It satisfies all my fantasies about rock music."

Many big-name singers and musicians around were excitedly saying similar things.

"God, I'm so glad to hear such wonderful rock music in my lifetime."

"It's just so beautiful, so beautiful."

"Can you do it again?"

"God, after listening to music like this, everyone else's music is shit."

"It's amazing. That guitar playing is just divine."

"Please upload it quickly, I can't wait to play it on repeat now."

……

Backstage.

Rambo was also standing in the lounge excitedly at this time. He walked back and forth a few steps before saying, "This is the music I want. This is the music I want!"

Rambo spoke several times before he calmed down his excitement.

This was exactly the musical work he had dreamed of, but even he himself could not describe what it looked like in detail. However, it was now perfectly performed by Jiang Chen, satisfying all his beautiful fantasies about rock music.

The assistant also said excitedly: "This song is really great, and his performance is really perfect. I have a feeling that the sales of this song will explode even more."

Rambo immediately said, "I'll ask the company to help me contact musicians who are good at rock music. I want to sing rock songs and original songs, too!"

For a time, Rambo was inspired by many creative impulses and inspirations, and he was eager to compose new songs and try to sing them.

……

Haley and Oldman were also a little excited at this time. They did not expect that Jiang Chen's song would be so perfect that they could not find any flaws. It was foreseeable that it would be a hit, which would make the show even more popular.

of course.

What made the two even more excited was the latest real-time viewership data.

At this time, the number of viewers reached the peak tonight, which was even more explosive than the peak data of last night, reaching a total of 51 million people watching at the same time. This was beyond their expectations. They thought it would be good enough to reach the peak data of last week.

Unexpectedly, there was a breakthrough this week, reaching 51 million.

This is definitely a miraculous number in this era of declining television market.

Apart from the annual North American Spring Festival Gala and Super Bowl, no other TV programs or TV series have achieved such terrifying ratings in recent years.

You have to know that the total population of North America is only more than 400 million, and more than 50 million people are watching at the same time. Converted into ratings, it is almost a terrifying 12%!
Oldman said with a trembling voice: "God, if he can continue this level of performance next week, I have a feeling the ratings will go up! If they keep going up, I can't imagine what the final number will be. He is simply a miracle."

Haley also said excitedly: "Yes, he is a miracle!"

at this time!

All of Jiang Chen's previous actions became cute in their eyes.

Not coming to the program?
That's a sign of confidence!
Not attending rehearsal?
That is a display of absolute confidence!
Don't accept media hype?
That's a sign of low-key talent.

Oldman then sobered up a little and said, "In that case, he will definitely take away most of the tickets from the audience! The final result may be very different!"

Hailey said indifferently: "As long as everything is true, then there is no need to worry about any result! He won this with his own strength..."

In fact, Haley is looking forward to the final number of votes in the first official competition.

There are 20,000 votes in total, how many can Jiang Chen get?

The applause lasted for several minutes.

Many people stood up and raised their hands to applaud vigorously.

Jiang Chen, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing stood in a row, accepting the applause from everyone.

The hosts Allen and Jenna stood beside Jiang Chen. Seeing that the applause had not stopped yet, Allen said loudly, "If your hands are sore from clapping, you can take a break and let us chat with Jiang Chen."

The audience gradually stopped applauding and wanted to hear what Jiang Chen had to say.

The applause gradually died down.

Allen asked Jiang Chen: "Mr. Jiang Chen, did you also write this song yourself?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Of course!"

This is obviously nonsense.

Everyone at the scene thought so.

If they have heard this song, there is no way they will forget it.

If this song had appeared in the history of European and American rock music, they would never forget it. It would definitely become an enduring classic and would never be forgotten by people.

So, tonight was definitely the first time this song came up.

Jenna smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang Chen, Alan said that your song "We Will Rock You" last week is what rock should be like. This song "Stairway to Heaven" is also what rock should be like. What do you think?"

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your recognition. These two songs are what rock music should be like! But I think Alan might say the same thing next week, and the week after next!"

Jiang Chen's words made Allen, Jenna, and tens of thousands of spectators in the audience very excited.

This shows Jiang Chen's absolute confidence, indicating that his future works will not be worse than these two songs.

All of a sudden, they were full of anticipation and confidence in Jiang Chen's future performances. They really wanted to fast forward to next weekend and watch Jiang Chen's performance again, skipping the other contestants and this period of time.

Alan exclaimed directly: "Wow, really? In fact, I would very much like to say the same thing if you can give me the same feeling!"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I believe you will say the same thing!"

Jenna: “I’ll say it then!”

Tony at the front of the stage also raised his hand and shouted, "And me, I would say the same thing! This is what rock and roll should be like."

Tony's voice, beamed through the front row microphone, lightened the mood and all the audience members were looking forward to it because they would be saying the same thing.

Everyone wants nice things.

This kind of rock work is one of the most beautiful musical works.

No one can refuse it, no one can dislike it.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Thank you!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen wanted to take Pu Yuexi and the others away.

However, Zhanna hurriedly stopped Jiang Chen and said, "Mr. Jiang Chen, other contestants will say something to get the audience to vote for them. What about you? What do you say to get the audience to vote for you?"

Jiang Chen looked at everyone present: "I don't need to canvass for votes. Because I believe that the audience has their own aesthetics and beliefs, and will choose the best works and contestants. Thank you!"

Allen asked: "Mr. Jiang Chen, are you confident that you can get first place this time?"

Jiang Chen: "I'm here to win the championship, thank you!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen waved to everyone present, and walked off the stage with Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing.

Tens of thousands of people at the scene once again gave Jiang Chen and his companions warm applause.

Everyone looked at the backs of Jiang Chen and his companions with some reluctance and a sense of emptiness.

The best has been seen.

The next performance seemed unimportant.

Some audience members even had the urge to leave, wanting the show to end early and leave, so they could download Jiang Chen's music and listen to this new rock bible.

Jenna held the microphone and said loudly: "If you like Jiang Chen's song and his performance, you can vote for him!"

Many audience members stopped clapping, picked up their voting devices and started voting, casting all their votes for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen and his companions walked off the stage, and Han Qing and Yan Ruyu came up to greet them.

Behind them, Haley and Oldman were also standing at the backstage exit to greet Jiang Chen. When they saw Jiang Chen coming down, both of them were smiling.

“What a wonderful performance!”

Hailey praised: "You always surprise us!"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly to Hailey and Oldman: "Thank you, I'll go back and rest first, see you both!"

At this time, the two of them no longer had any complaints about Jiang Chen's departure. They would not have any objections to what Jiang Chen wanted to do. They just hoped that Jiang Chen would be happy.

Hailey immediately said, "Of course. If you need any help or cooperation from our production team, you can contact us at any time! Or you can contact Director Guo from China."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Thank you, I will!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen did not even go to the lounge. He took Pu Yuexi and the other four as well as Han Qing and Yan Ruyu to the exit. A dozen bodyguards immediately came over and surrounded them. They walked towards the parking lot exit together and left the performance venue directly.

Haley and Oldman came out together and watched Jiang Chen leave before turning back.

They don't have high expectations for the next performance.

After Jiang Chen got in the car, he uploaded the pre-recorded studio version of Stairway to Heaven to the European and American music download platform, and then looked at the data of We Will Rock You last week. (End of this chapter)
