The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 577 The Queens Reduced to Background

To be honest, Zhang Chen himself is still a little unaccustomed to some of the ways of thinking about idol worship in the entertainment industry.

Just like now, from his own perspective, he can't understand how idol worship can make him so excited that he faints.

"Be careful. Also, I would like to trouble the medical staff. Please let me know as soon as their condition improves."

Zhang Chen watched with great concern as dozens of people were carried away by medical staff who rushed out from all directions.

He didn't expect that he would "knock out" dozens of people after only one song at the start of the concert.

With a mix of heartache and helplessness, Zhang Chen shook his head, then composed himself and looked at the other audience members who had been watching him eagerly.

What kind of scene is this?
If it weren't for those dozens of audience members who suddenly fainted, perhaps they would have been moved by the look in so many eyes when he finished singing.
Excitement, eagerness, emotion, enthusiasm, and tears welling up in my eyes.
Zhang Chen was speechless for a moment.

From his debut until now, he has never forgotten that he is a singer.

But because he only saw being a singer as a stepping stone into the world, he has always focused more of his energy on other careers.

But from his fans' perspective, he has always been the idol who has brought countless great songs to his fans, inspiring, encouraging, and accompanying them.

Zhang Chen always thought that after earning enough fame and money in his singing career, he would retire behind the scenes and no longer be active in front of the audience.

He had been doing this for the past few years.

Aside from the annual Spring Festival Gala, he releases an album every year, depending on his mood.

The reason is simply to maintain one's public status and power, so as to have more bargaining power in business negotiations.

His superstar status has brought countless benefits to his business ventures.

He also had other considerations and other purposes for this concert.

But it seems.
Zhang Chen didn't know how to describe the feeling of being watched by 100,000 eyes.

Finally, all the thoughts in my mind converged into one sentence:

"Everyone, I'm back."

His response was an even more enthusiastic and unified shout:
"Leon! Leon! Leon!"

Even with a million-dollar sound system capable of covering the entire venue, such shouts cannot reclaim the right to speak from this wave of noise.

Those on stage have the most to say about the revelry at the scene.

"Is this the influence of a boss?"

Yoona stared blankly at the 100,000 people celebrating below the stage, too shocked to know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

"Of course, didn't you see that Taylor and I have been on stage for so long without causing any ripples?"

Avril's voice, filled with pride yet tinged with resentment, came through the headset.

Yoona turned around and saw Avril Lavigne, who was sitting in front of the drum set and turning the drumsticks, raise an eyebrow at her.

"We are far inferior to the boss."

On the other side, Taylor Swift, holding an electric guitar, looked longingly at Zhang Chen, who was not far away with his back to the band, comforting the audience below the stage.

"Yes, we are far behind."

In the corner, Cui Xiuying, who was the keyboardist for the night, looked at Zhang Chen's back with even more admiration.

At the same time, Yoona also sensed a determined look in her friend's eyes.

He had also sensed that same unwavering gaze in the eyes of Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift, who had just been speaking.

She could understand the origin of that look in her eyes.

As a member of LYC who has just gained some fame worldwide, Lim Yoona also has her own ambitions.

Choi Soo-young, who was also her teammate, and Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift, who were far ahead of them, also had their own ambitions.

In this world, every singer dreams of being like that figure in the distance.
He hasn't held a concert in 7 years.

But upon his return, he was still at his peak.

The person who sits atop the throne of world music has never changed.

But today, the person they admired stepped down from the throne to prove to them why he was the king.

This is a conversation between band members.

As one of the most influential singers and actresses in the world today.

Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift have always been the most dazzling presences at any event they've attended.

Although Yoona and Sooyoung are slightly inferior, they will definitely not be unknown this year.

Especially those girl group dances, which showed the world what young and beautiful girls look like.

It can be said that, worldwide, the four girls in Zhang Chen's band today are synonymous with fame.

But today, their fame is overshadowed by Zhang Chen's brilliance, making them relegated to the background.

Did the fans at the concert see them?

I saw it.

Are the fans surprised?

Naturally, he was extremely surprised.

But the fans came today because of Zhang Chen. The fact that Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift were part of Zhang Chen's band made them feel the influence and status of their idols even more.

Look, even four divas can only play supporting roles in a band in front of their idols.

This is the status of their idols!

All the fans present felt honored, and their admiration and worship for Zhang Chen reached new heights.

Among the dozens of people who fainted from excitement just now, a few of them fainted because they thought of this point.

In fact, besides the four band members, there were also backup dancers on stage.

Their presence becomes even less noticeable.

They had completed their mission and returned backstage.

But even backstage, they still carefully hid at the entrance, secretly watching the concert.

"Is this the influence of a boss?"

The same words, but the tone was almost a murmur.

Fan Bingbing stared blankly at the fans below the stage who had been going crazy for more than ten minutes, her hands gripping the hem of her skirt tightly.

Beside her were Li Bingbing, Shu Chang, and others, all staring blankly at the performance.

Yes, Morning Light Entertainment did give them this opportunity.

Most Chinese celebrities can only enter the venue by competing with other fans for tickets, but they can more directly feel the soaring passion on stage.

These individuals wield considerable influence in the Chinese entertainment industry.

While I wouldn't say he's a household name, calling him a national star wouldn't be an exaggeration.

But on this stage today, they only deserve to be called "backup dancers".

There were no other names or introductions.

A song lasts a few minutes; after the performance, you return to the backstage area.

No one noticed that they had been there.

Because everyone's attention was on the person in the center of the stage.

"Tsk, we were hoping to boost our fame by using the boss's platform," Li Bingbing couldn't help but click his tongue. "But it looks like we've made a fool of ourselves."

"No wonder Sister Lan didn't recommend we come." Shu Chang pouted, looking at the stage with a hint of resentment. "Now I finally know why Qianqian didn't come. She probably knew it all along."

"Alright, what can we do? He's our boss, so what if he's a clown?" Fan Bingbing shrugged and turned to walk backstage without a care in the world. "Don't forget how many people in this world would beg for an opportunity like this."

"Hehe, I was just saying." Shu Chang chuckled and quickly caught up with Fan Bingbing. "I'll go to the scene later and show off to my classmates. I wonder if they took any pictures of me."

"I also asked Baoqiang to take pictures for me."

"We're thinking the same thing! I also asked someone to take pictures of me, but he didn't get a good spot, so I don't know if he'll be able to capture me on stage."

"Are you guys stupid? Sister Lan will definitely help us take the photos. Just ask her for them."

"Yes~"

Zhang Chen naturally had no idea what was happening behind the scenes.

But through the band's internal earpiece, he could hear Avril and the other three talking.

He did not react to this.

However, the conversation among the four people served as a reminder to him.

For a singer, the band is definitely among the people they absolutely cannot offend, and even have to please, during a concert. Otherwise, you never know what kind of trouble the band might cause you.

Although he didn't need to worry about that, since he had brought in several people to act as tools, he naturally couldn't completely ignore the contributions of the four of them.

So after calming the audience, Zhang Chen turned slightly, smiled, and pointed to the back.

"Well then, we'll need to trouble the band members today as well."

"First up is today's guitarist, Taylor Swift!"

Upon hearing Zhang Chen's words, Taylor Swift hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly to the audience.

"what--"

Unsurprisingly, this was met with enthusiastic cheers.

However, unlike the excitement Taylor Swift has experienced at her previous concerts, this time the cheers felt more like a welcome and a sign of pride.
However, hearing the deafening cheers from the crowd, Taylor Swift breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems I do have some fame.

She had been standing on the stage for so long, yet she hadn't caused any ripples in the audience, which made her wonder if she had become irrelevant on the spot.

This scene has given her a bit of confidence.

"And today's drum teacher, Avril Lavigne!"

Unlike Taylor Swift's slightly reserved greeting, Avril Lavigne stood up naturally and greeted everyone.

"Hello everyone."

The microphone in front of the band can also be switched to all channels.

Therefore, her greeting was clearly heard by everyone present.

"what--"

It was a roaring, thunderous shout.

However, unlike Taylor Swift, he has a lot more whistling.

This is related to Taylor Swift's fan base.

After all, she is portrayed as a "rebellious teenager," and many of her fans like Avril Lavigne's rebellious spirit.

Next, Zhang Chen also introduced Lin Yoona and Choi Sooyoung.

However, these two only began to gain international recognition this year, and their fame is far behind that of Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift.

But the cheers they received were no less than those for the former.

The two exchanged a glance, knowing exactly what was behind the cheers.

It wasn't because of their fame, but more because of their boss.

The audience below were only cheering because the two of them were accompanying Zhang Chen.

After the band finished their introduction, the audience was either tired from shouting or had grown out of the excitement they felt at the beginning of the show.

The scene has become relatively quiet.

Zhang Chen looked at the scene with satisfaction, the atmosphere now under control, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If these people keep shouting for half an hour, the concert will have to be delayed.

He doesn't mind working overtime; what he's afraid of is something going wrong if it gets too late.

New York nights are not as quiet as they seem.

"Alright, shall we continue?" Zhang Chen returned to the center of the stage, but his gaze remained fixed on the audience. "What would you like to hear?"

Can I request songs?

Everyone stood up excitedly again.

"Suger!"

"Baby!"

"Stronger!"

One hundred thousand people, one hundred thousand mouths, chanting different songs.

The songs they shouted were all of Zhang Chen's most classic ones.

Hearing so many answers from the audience, Zhang Chen was at a loss for words.

"How about we randomly pick an audience member to request a song?"

This made the audience even more enthusiastic.

Everyone frantically raised their hands, hoping to get Zhang Chen's attention on stage.

They did everything in their power to achieve this.

Some of them called him "husband".

There is standing high jump.

Some were waving flags wildly.

Some people lift their children above their heads.

Zhang Chen noticed all of this, but who gets "drawn" in this kind of interaction depends entirely on the mood of the on-site director.

Countless faces flashed across the big screen.

Finally, it stopped on a person wearing a hat and sunglasses.

Through the large screen, everyone present could clearly sense that the man had paused for a moment.

While everyone was envious, some couldn't help but be curious.

Why are you covering yourself up so tightly so late at night?
However, the man then took off his sunglasses and gave everyone the answer.

"Leonardo?!"

"WTF?!"

"Why is he here too?!"

That's right, after taking off his sunglasses, what was revealed was that handsome face that drives countless European and American women crazy.

However, compared to his youthful appearance in "Titanic," he is now dressed simply in ordinary clothes without any makeup.

However, his full beard did add to his mature appearance.

"Leon?" Zhang Chen was also somewhat surprised.

He remembered that he didn't seem to have given him concert tickets.

In other words, Leonardo DiCaprio bought his own ticket to enter the venue.

Look at this position, it's still in the front row of Section A, near the stage.

It's unclear whether Leonardo DiCaprio snatched it himself or bought it from someone else at a high price.

At that moment, the staff on site quickly handed him a microphone.

"Haha, hello everyone!"

Leonardo DiCaprio waved awkwardly to Zhang Chen on stage, then greeted the camera, as if to say hello to everyone in the audience.

"Leonardo, you should have told me earlier if you wanted to see my concert. I could have had someone send you a ticket." Zhang Chen laughed heartily, showing no embarrassment at not being able to send Leonardo DiCaprio a ticket.

But Zhang Chen never skimped on the polite words that needed to be said.

However, Leonardo DiCaprio clearly doesn't think so.

"This is something you admitted yourself, Lyon, for the next concert."

"No problem!" Zhang Chen agreed readily, after all, it was just a concert ticket.

But he was curious about something else: "So Leonardo listens to my songs too?"

"Leon, do you have no idea how popular your songs are?" Leonardo DiCaprio looked at Zhang Chen on stage speechlessly. "Even though I'm an actor, I still enjoy listening to music. When it comes to music, how can the world ignore you?"

"So which song is your favorite?"

Not only Zhang Chen was curious, but everyone in the room was curious.

"Which one is my favorite?" Leonardo pondered for a moment before answering, "Maybe it's 'Rolling in the Deep'?"

"This one?" Zhang Chen looked thoughtfully at Leonardo DiCaprio in the audience.

"Then this song will be sung for you."
