The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 114 The last stop of the concert begins!
Since its completion in 1983, the Hong Kong Coliseum has hosted countless singers' concerts.

Unlike most venues, the stage here is generally set up to face the audience 360° without blind spots, which can maximize the use of the limited seats in the venue.

Although compared to many stadiums in the world, the Hong Kong Coliseum can only accommodate about 1 spectators, it has a special meaning in the minds of many singers in Hong Kong Island.

Some people will hold their debut concert here, while others will hold their farewell concert here.

It has witnessed the rise of many stars in Hong Kong and even in the world.

On July 7, the last stop of Zhang Chen’s global tour, the Hong Kong Coliseum, officially kicked off.

At around 5 p.m. that day, fans began to enter the venue one after another.

Because Zhang Chen's concert this time was full of tension, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhang Chen deliberately held his last concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, a few days before the opening day of Zhang Guorong's concert.

Many people have speculated about the reasons during this period.

Finally, I found the clue in a tabloid in mid-June:
"Who is more qualified to win the title of 'Best International Artist', Zhang Chen or Zhang Guorong?"

In fact, many people think that the two are on different tracks.

Zhang Chen's influence in the European and American music scene is greater than in Asia and China. The reason is that Zhang Chen's Chinese songs in the first two years of his debut were not widely spread, or in other words, did not cover a wide age group. He himself did not attend some activities and did not film any TV series, which made people feel that he was too far away from the public and lacked influence.

Zhang Guorong already has a considerable influence in Asia, and his film and television works are already well-known in this region. Even in the history of world cinema, it was the movie "Farewell My Concubine" that brought him to the international stage. Even though he is still a long way from becoming an international superstar, he deserves the title of Asian King.

If you really compare them seriously, Zhang Chen can cover a wider and larger fan base.

But what Zhang Chen lacks is a classic work that will be remembered by people all over the world.

This work is not a song in the narrow sense, but a memory about Zhang Chen that everyone will remember forever.

Perhaps tonight's concert will be an unforgettable night.

Hundreds of media from all over the world were present and were ready.

Get ready to get the latest news.

Winnie is a CNN reporter. She came to Hong Kong Island to track the whereabouts of several pop stars.

She received news that many superstars had disappeared from the public eye for a long time. Combined with the commotion Zhang Chen had caused here, she felt that she could dig up big news here.

"Hello sir, where are you from?" Winnie saw a young man on the side of the road who looked obviously not Asian, so she decided to ask him about his information.

"I'm from the United States."

"Didn't you get the tickets for Zhang Chen's concert in North America?" Winnie was curious about how the other party traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to watch a concert.

"No, no, no, I've watched every one of his concerts. This is his last one this year, and it's also the last one I'll watch this year." The young man was very proud.

"Oh, can you share your ticket buying tips? I believe the audience in front of the TV will be happy to listen." Winnie didn't expect that the fan she randomly picked turned out to be a die-hard supporter who followed the show from beginning to end.

"That's easy. I can buy tickets from other people. Money is not a problem!"

"Well, thank you for sharing." Winnie expressed her gratitude, but she could not openly encourage the purchase of scalper tickets.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the start time of the concert was getting closer and closer.

During this period, some cars continued to drive into the security area.

"Isn't that the Bauhinia license plate?" Someone with sharp eyes saw a special car.

"Is this guy here too?"

It’s 6:30, half an hour before the concert officially starts.
Rest area in the Hong Kong Coliseum

“Leon, you dare to do what Michael doesn’t dare to do.”

"Haha, the main thing is that you are willing to come."

Zhang Chen spent a lot of effort to invite the person in front of him, and he had to pay a lot of favors for this, and he didn't know how to repay him in the future.

In fact, he was also surprised that the other party agreed to his invitation and even came early for the rehearsal.

As time got closer, Zhang Chen became unusually nervous.

He has created such a big momentum that if he succeeds, he will become famous overnight and fly high in the sky. If he fails, although he will not fall into the quagmire, it will be enough to deal a heavy blow to his acting career.

He began to check the equipment on his body again and again:
In-ear monitoring, radio is normal, battery power is normal, metronome is working normally
Microphone, channel normal, battery normal
After Zhang Chen once again confirmed that all the audio output routes of the mixing console had been adjusted to the state during rehearsal, the on-site supervisor came to his side.

"Leon, everyone is in position, prepare for the last three minutes."

“5、4、3、2、1，开始！”

7:59, one minute left before the concert officially begins.

The lights in the Hong Kong Coliseum suddenly dimmed, and the noisy sounds in the scene gradually disappeared.

Tick, tick, tick.
The sound of a clock ticking was heard at the scene.

Everyone at the scene listened quietly and counted.

After 60 beeps, the pointer will jump

The accompaniment sounded

Then came a beam of white light shining directly down from the top of the stage.

In the white halo, Zhang Chen, wearing a loose gray windbreaker and a cartoon ponytail on his head, stood in the center of the halo.

“If someone asks me, I will tell them, but no one comes.
"

"Cantonese! It's actually a Cantonese song!"

What surprised the Hong Kong Island fans who occupied most of the venue was that Zhang Chen actually used a Cantonese song that was obviously written specifically for Hong Kong Island fans to open the Hong Kong Island station.

"Ah!~~~Zhang Chen, I love you."

If Zhang Chen’s fans in Hong Kong Island felt regretful that he had never sung a Cantonese song, or felt a little unfamiliar with the stars that other people around them were chasing, then once this song is released today, the fans in Hong Kong Island will be completely captured.

"When I was young, I stood like a minion at my alma mater dance.

"

The original lyrics were "Eighteen", which Zhang Chen obviously couldn't use, so he had to change it.

This time, there is a clear difference in the way Zhang Chen expresses the song.

There are fewer singing techniques and more sense of narration.

A Zhang Chen before he became famous was presented to everyone present.

The audience at the scene also began to wave their glow sticks along with Zhang Chen's singing.

The light above Zhang Chen's head also moved with him, keeping him in the center at all times.

"You think I'm exaggerating, but I'm just afraid.

Will it be noticed if it looks like wood or stone?

Don't forget that someone is crying for you
HA, HA~~~"

As the song progressed, Zhang Chen's voice became more hoarse.

The movements on stage also constantly change, from relaxed, to struggling, to hysteria.

Just like the lyrics of this song, it is exaggerated and pompous, did you notice?

As the last long note sounded, 10 cold fireworks suddenly flashed around the stage and shot directly into the dome of the venue.

"Ah! Lyon, Lyon." What followed was screams and cheers that resounded throughout the audience.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." After adjusting his breath for a while, Zhang Chen greeted the fans at the scene in Cantonese.

　This chapter is really hard to code, here is the last chapter, and it exceeds the word count by a lot

　　I don't know how many people are waiting for this chapter.

　　But this concert cannot be completed in one chapter, how about waiting until tomorrow?
