The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 174: Thousands of people singing together, the world's king's appearance

May 5, 31:7 p.m. local time in Seoul.

How long does it take to build a stage for a large show?
If it is a concert set up, it may take a few days to a few weeks.

If there are enough workers and they work well together, this time can be compressed to 1 day.

If there are enough workers, they work well together and the stage is set up fast enough, then the Super Bowl in the United States will tell you that this time can be 6 minutes.

South Korea and Japan wanted to allow Zhang Chen to perform for people all over the world at the World Cup and to have top Asian stars perform, and also to ensure that the opening match between France and Senegal could be held smoothly directly after Zhang Chen's performance.

They specially invited the Super Bowl stage construction team from their dad.

A team of several hundred people worked together just to give Zhang Chen a 5-minute performance on stage.

This is how Zhang Chen ranks as the world's top pop star!
In a stadium with a capacity of 10,000 people, after the President of South Korea, the Prime Minister of Japan, and the Chairman of the Football Association finished their speeches.

Dark lights
Everyone began to look forward to the next show, and they knew that Zhang Chen would perform at today's opening ceremony.

The dark scene lasted for five seconds, and the noisy sound on the scene weakened

The darkness lasted for ten seconds, and only sporadic sounds were left at the scene.

When the dark period lasted for fifteen seconds, a beam of top light shone onto the audience seats on the second floor opposite the rostrum.

There was Zhang Chen, who everyone was looking forward to seeing at today's opening ceremony.

At this time, Zhang Chen was wearing a performance suit covered with silver sequins and holding a bright red custom microphone. Under the strong light of the positioning beam lamp, the whole person seemed to be radiating light.

In front of him, there appeared a staircase leading directly to the center of the stadium.

At the end of the stairs, one could vaguely see the shape of a stage.

“Oooooh ~” There was no accompaniment on the scene, only the prelude sung by Zhang Chen.

Many fans at the scene haven't reacted yet.

However, the staff arranged by the organizers in various places began to sing along as they did during the rehearsal:
"wooooooooooh!"

Others at the scene also reacted, and when Zhang Chen sang again:

“Oooooh”

"wooooooooooh!"

The collective chorus of tens of thousands of people begins from now on!
Zhang Chen:

“Give me freedom,

give me fire,

give me reason,

take me higher
"

fan:

“See the champions,

take the field now,

unify us,

make us feel proud
"

There is no accompaniment at all in this section, but the sound of the live chorus is the best accompaniment for Zhang Chen.

After a period of interaction, fierce drum sounds, guitar sounds, and harmonies suddenly filled the entire venue!
With the cold fireworks shooting from all over the stadium to the center of the field, Zhang Chen began today's official singing:
“In the streets
(Take to the streets)”

Zhang Chen began to walk down the stairs.

"Our hands are lifting
(Waving hands)
as we lose our inhibition
(Leave all worries behind)"

When the first verse was finished, Zhang Chen changed his singing style and language:

"Youth is a song
Let us sing together towards the light"

A huge five-star red flag was unfolded at the top of the stands!

Language changes again:

"
(See the world is at our feet)

(Kick the dream to the infinite sky)"

On the other side, a Korean flag is unfolded!
From the beginning of the clearing,

Later, the whole group sang together.
Then the English version of the lyrics suddenly sounded,

Then suddenly switch to the host's Korean language,
“We all say!

(Sing together!)”

Zhang Chen suddenly raised the volume of this line of lyrics, as if to remind all the fans at the scene to be prepared.

When a distinct drum beat sounded, the fans naturally joined in the chorus:

“When I get older,

I will be stronger
"

As the fans sang along, one flag after another of the countries that qualified for this World Cup were unfurled.

When the song entered the second chorus, Zhang Chen switched to Japanese and also unfolded the national flag of another host country.

For the last two lines of the lyrics, Zhang Chen changed his performance style. He pointed to one side of the stadium entrance on the stage and sang the penultimate line in the language of Senegal, the team that would play the opening game of the opening ceremony.

As the song ended, Zhang Chen also shouted:

“Senegal!”

The Senegalese flag also unfolds from the top of the stadium at the top of the oval bend!

The Senegalese players trotted out of the player tunnel under the spotlight.

The song continued, and Zhang Chen finished the last line in French. At the same time, he called out the name of the defending champion as he had just done:
"France!"

The French flag was also unfurled downwards directly across from the Senegalese flag.

At the same time, the French team also appeared in the eyes of all the fans on the scene from the player tunnel at the other end.

"Oh my god, did Zhang Chen adapt this song into a mixed version of multiple languages?"

"And this performance is so-so-so-so shocking!"

"Especially when the flags of the two teams in the last opening match were unfurled and the teams came out, I got goosebumps!"

Chinese fans watched the two live commentators on TV talking about their feelings after watching Zhang Chen's performance.

"There was also the unaccompanied chorus, and the Chinese flag that happened to appear behind Zhang Chen in the camera. I would like to call this World Cup opening ceremony the best performance in history!"

The Chinese audience watching the live broadcast felt very proud as they listened to the reports in front of their TVs and the feelings of the two commentators.

Look, this is our country's superstar!
What is Pai Noodles?

What is aura?

What does it mean to control the situation?

The Zhang Chen who just stood in front of billions of people around the world is him!

He is our Chinese!

Where do Chinese netizens gather to eat melons now?

Their first choice is the "Morning Light Music" message board.

At the opening ceremony of the World Cup, as soon as Zhang Chen finished singing, Morning Light Music released a version of "World Cup Opening Ceremony Multilingual Version of "Wavin' Flag"."

Many of Zhang Chen's fans also flocked to this song to leave comments:

@希望美满: Zhang Chen really makes us Chinese proud. The performance, the control of the stage, and the performance are amazing!

@Reading too fast is because of lack of patience: I finally know where the world pop king ranks!

@薰勿空: I always thought that Zhang Chen’s performances in China were just so-so, but it turns out that his live performances can be so explosive?

@兜里格郎: I'm a newbie, where can I buy tickets for Zhang Chen's concert? @臀红过猴脸: I mean, I couldn't buy tickets for the concerts in the past two years. Who can watch these few shows?
@青提橙子: You are right! At that time, there were foreigners who came to China to grab our concert tickets! After watching his live broadcast today, I realized how much I lost.

@夜柒荒: Did you see the custom microphone in Zhang Chen’s hand? I helped make it!

@0: Was it me who noticed the beautiful girls standing behind Zhang Chen when the camera flashed by?
@古月唯歌LBJ: What? There’s a girl standing behind Zhang Chen?

@白月光小鱼儿℃: What? Zhang Chen is standing behind the girl?

@My mom didn’t hit me for three days: What? Zhang Chen likes girls?

In addition to netizens who enjoyed discussing the shock that the opening ceremony brought to them, celebrities were somewhat envious of the girls who got to dance with Zhang Chen.

Although the footage captured on TV may not even add up to 30 seconds.

But this is the biggest sporting event in the world. More than 20 billion people around the world watched the opening ceremony, which means 20 billion people know the people on the stage.

If it were any singer who has already debuted, then these few seconds of footage would be a performance experience that they could brag about for the rest of their lives.

"Aaaaah, bro! You're so handsome!"

After the performance, Zhang Chen returned to his own private room in the stadium. What greeted him was Liu Yifei's exciting sonic bombardment and her body flying towards him.

After Zhang Chen opened the door, before he could react, he was pressed down by Liu Yifei's flying body.

I weighed the thing in my hand and it seemed like the little girl had lost some weight?

It was a little difficult to breathe because the little girl hugged my face so tightly.

"Xixi, come down quickly! Your brother just finished a performance and is very tired."

While Zhang Chen was still thinking about how to deal with the koala on his body, Liu Xiaoli helped him out.

Today is the opening day of the World Cup, and she was pestered by her daughter to come and watch Zhang Chen's performance.

To be honest, she herself started out as a stage dancer.

So she could best appreciate how perfect Zhang Chen's performance on the stage just now was.

"Xixi, get down quickly! If you don't, your brother will be suffocated to death!"

Liu Yifei seemed not to hear what her mother said. Zhang Chen could only cry for help in a muffled voice with his mouth covered by Liu Yifei's chest.

Liu Yifei also heard Zhang Chen's breathless voice and realized what she had done.

Perhaps it was because of the heat in her chest, she felt her whole body was hot, and her face turned red involuntarily.

"It's not that exaggerated." As she said that, she naturally let go of the hands that were holding Zhang Chen's head, and also loosened the two legs that were wrapped around Zhang Chen's waist.

"The president of South Korea and the prime minister of Japan will meet me later, and I have to go meet them."

"Ah? Is this such a high standard?"

Liu Yifei was a little dumbfounded. She had never thought that a singer could be received by the highest leader of a country.

"You're not surprised. I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes. You guys watch the game first. I'll come watch the game with you guys after I meet them."

"Then come back soon, don't forget that we both placed a bet on this game!"

30 minutes later, Zhang Chen arrived at the largest box in the stadium.

It is called a reception, which is actually a meeting in an official setting.

As the most popular person today and the person who contributed the most to the opening ceremony, Zhang Chen accepted the thanks from the two hosts and also accepted a gift from their country.

Surrounded by many reporters at the scene, Zhang Chen also took a group photo with them. I believe this photo will also become the front-page headlines of news media around the world tomorrow.

During this process, Zhang Chen always maintained a professional smile and chatted with several leaders in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"How come France hasn't scored a goal after playing for so long?"

In Zhang Chen's box, Zhang Chen, who had already returned, was eating potato chips and looking at the somewhat crazy Liu Yifei comfortably.

"Do you have a dollar? I'm ready to collect money. Look, I even brought a piggy bank with me."

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he took out a piggy bank from somewhere.

This piggy bank is the one that appeared in front of Liu Yifei last time.

"Don't talk too much. There's still a lot of time left. I don't believe the defending champions can lose to a team I've never even heard of."

"Sissi, do you know what the odds are for the French team?"

"1 to 1.1, what's wrong?"

"Do you know what the odds are for Senegal in this match?"

"1 to 16."

"That's right, I bought Senegal, and you can watch my money increase sixteenfold."

Zhang Chen took out a receipt he won from betting on Senegal.

He asked Xiao Xue to buy this secretly, for a total of $10.

He did think about buying more, but was afraid that others would use ulterior motives.

Don’t think that all sports betting is completely free of shady dealings. Although he is not sure whether there is a World Cup, it does not stop him from being cautious.

Besides, he is now past the stage of making money from the World Cup.

He could indeed take out 100 million to gamble, but no one would dare to take it.

Even if it is 1000 million US dollars, there is not sure which bookmaker would dare to take it.

Even if they accepted the bet, Zhang Chen's win would be $1.6 million, and the bookmaker would probably just run away with the money.

Since you can't make a lot of money from the World Cup, you can only buy a little bit and have some fun by pissing off little girls. This is Zhang Chen's greatest source of happiness during this World Cup.

"If the French team wins, after deducting the principal, I can only get 1000 yuan?"

Liu Yifei was a little dumbfounded. She had to beg her mother for the money to buy the ball.

It’s not that she has no money, but all her money is now turned into stocks in her stock account.

According to Zhang Chen, it would be best to hold these stocks for a few more years.

She is not old enough now, and cannot use these stocks as collateral.

In other words, Liu Yifei is very poor now!

"That won't happen."

Zhang Chen's words were like a ray of sunshine shining into Liu Yifei's eyes.

She blinked her bright eyes and asked, "Brother, how much more did you buy for me?"

In her opinion, since Zhang Chen said so, he must have rounded the amount up for her just like he did last time when he bought stocks.

Then this time I bought the football ball, maybe I was buying it to help her get the money together.

Maybe 10? Or maybe even higher, 100 million?
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei was so happy that she almost flew up. How much pocket money would that be?

"I mean, you won't even get a thousand bucks because France is going to lose! You'll even owe me one."

Zhang Chen shook his head, ruthlessly shattering Liu Yifei's dream.

Bet on the French team to win in 02?

That is not a pure boy who brings wealth.

"You're talking nonsense. How could the defending champion lose to a team from a small country?"

"When I come back with the winnings, you'll know you were wrong."

"Just wait and see, I won't admit defeat!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit defeat, as long as the French team loses."

What is the final outcome?

The sound of two coins colliding in Zhang Chen's piggy bank was the end of the incident.

　The picture is hard to describe
　　I would also like to thank all the book friends for their friendly guest appearances!
　　Finally, please give me some recommendation and monthly votes!
