Chapter 578 The Concert Continues, the Charm of the Songs

What is the status of the song "Rolling In The Deep" in Europe and America?
Zhang Chen's version of this song predates the original by many years, and his vocal abilities were not yet fully developed at that time.

It's not that no professional has pointed out that Zhang Chen was too old at that time to sing the song's core theme of "revenge".

However, Zhang Chen's excellent singing skills at the time well covered up this shortcoming.

But apart from Zhang Chen, no one else dared to cover this song.

This is different from Zhang Chen's other songs; there are really not many singers who dare to take on this challenge.

The song is based in C major, but the range from B3 to D5 places extremely high demands on the singer's vocal control in the high notes, especially the continuous high notes in the chorus, which require both strength and stability.

To accurately convey multiple layers of emotions such as "anger" and "heartbreak" within such difficult singing techniques, as well as the strong contrast between the verses and the chorus, is a challenge.

This requires singers to have extremely delicate emotional control.

Otherwise, Adele wouldn't have been able to dominate the Billboard charts for seven weeks with this song and ultimately win the Billboard Hot 7 number one single of the year.

Under Zhang Chen's interpretation, the song was not overlooked; in fact, it gained a different flavor.

After all, following that special "exchange meeting" at the Temple of Heaven, his song "Dance of the Goddess" had already proven to the world that Zhang Chen was one of the world's top singers in terms of vocal skills.

Why are people willing to spend a lot of money and effort to see Zhang Chen's concert?
Isn't what they've been waiting for—to hear Zhang Chen's classic renditions of his old songs at the concert?

As a singer who never performs on TV shows, listening to Zhang Chen's albums alone is not enough to satisfy them.

Only those who have been to a concert can understand the feeling of a singer leading the entire audience to an immersive experience of a song.

"Everyone, are you ready?"

As soon as the music started, Zhang Chen put the microphone back into the microphone stand.

With both hands free, they raised them high and began to clap rhythmically.

The audience members exchanged glances, their eyes lighting up.

Without needing any prompting, they all started clapping in unison, following Zhang Chen's lead.

How spectacular is the unified applause of 100,000 people?
It was a shock that was hard to describe.

"There's a fire starting in my heart
(A fire ignited in my heart)
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
(Until it reached a fever pitch, it pulled me out of the darkness)
Finally I can see you crystal clear
(I can finally see through you clearly.)

It had a smoky voice, but it was clearer and brighter than a normal smoky voice. The voice began to come out of Zhang Chen's mouth.

The audience members unconsciously began to move rhythmically to the music and Zhang Chen's singing.

Some movements are small, just slight nodding to keep up with the beat.

Some people move with great intensity, standing up and swaying from side to side to the music.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who requested this song, seemed rather calm.

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Chen on the stage.

Zhang Chen, who was on stage, came down from the stage and met Leonardo DiCaprio's gaze.

This scene was precisely captured by the cameras on site.

A person's eyes are filled with vicissitudes and resentment.

One person's eyes were filled with regret and encouragement.

"Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare
(Go ahead and betray me)

See how I leave with every piece of you
(And I'll go and find out your secrets.)

And it's bringing me out the dark
(Bring me out of the darkness)
"

This song is definitely a balm for the soul for those who have experienced the darkest moments in their lives.

The power of "revenge" in Zhang Chen's singing made countless people in the audience clench their fists.

Especially Leonardo DiCaprio, whose anger can be described as clenching his teeth.

However, due to the camera lens, he controlled his facial expressions very well.

But his puffed-out cheeks still revealed his unease.

"Come!"

At Zhang Chen's command, everyone opened their mouths and sang loudly.

“We could have had it all——

(We could have had it all)
[Harmony]: You're gonna wish you never had met me
(You'd definitely wish you'd never met me)
Rolling in the deep——

(Falling into the abyss)
[Harmony]: Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep
(Tears are about to fall, plunging into the abyss)

You had my heart inside of your hand——

(You hold my heart in your hands)

[Harmony]: You're gonna wish you never had met me
(You'd definitely wish you'd never met me)
And you played it, to the beat
(And yet you toy with it, with every throbbing of your heart)

[Harmony]: Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep
(Tears are about to fall, plunging into the abyss)

Zhang Chen's powerful vocals, along with the collective sing-along of 100,000 people in the audience, imbued the verses with an indomitable spirit.

The gentle, soothing harmonies, like whispering in your ear, deliver a comforting message of "understanding your inner pain" that penetrates to the deepest recesses of everyone's heart.

As the song progressed, everyone sang louder and louder.

Unlike "Try Everything," this shouting is a release of the unbearable past self.

No one dares to say they haven't failed.

If the opening song "Try Everything" inspired everyone to work hard...

So this song, "Rolling In The Deep," tells everyone about the motivation to work hard.

Those who slandered you, hurt you, defamed you, and suppressed you have indeed plunged you into an "abyss," but what should you do?
Be brave enough to face your past self.

Zhang Chen's carefree singing voice told everyone in the audience that it was all in the past.

Look at Zhang Chen's smiling face.

He sang about "falling into the abyss," but he expressed a carefree attitude of "losing me is your loss."

A song lasting just over three minutes gave everyone in the audience the exhilarating feeling of falling into an abyss and then climbing back up.

Everyone now feels full of energy.

After this incident, several more people were carried off the scene by medical personnel.

Another person got so excited that they fainted.

"Phew—how does it feel?"

Zhang Chen seemed to be asking everyone present, or perhaps he was asking the person who requested the song.

But no matter who was asked, everyone nodded excitedly.

Cool!
This is how it felt after everyone sang along.

Even Leonardo DiCaprio, who has seen it all, had to admit that listening to Zhang Chen's concert live, being able to listen to and feel the power of the songs up close, was a soul-stirring experience.

Zhang Chen was also very satisfied with the results on site.

"I never thought that after so many years without holding a concert, people would still remember how to sing my songs."

"Hahaha--"

Zhang Chen was met with a burst of teasing laughter from the audience.

That's a joke. In this world, there are only places without internet access or regions with underdeveloped culture and entertainment.

In any region that has been exposed to modern information and is willing to embrace music culture, Zhang Chen's songs are definitely a must-listen.

“I just randomly selected Leonardo.” Zhang Chen gestured with one hand to shield the audience and looked down at them. “I’m curious how many unexpected people are here today.”

Not only Zhang Chen was curious, but the other audience members were also curious.

Everyone was craning their necks to look at the people around them.

They also hope to sit next to a superstar.

They were too far away to reach the person on the stage.

If I had someone like that by my side, and could get their autograph, that would be a great deal.

However, Zhang Chen only glanced at it briefly and didn't look for it carefully.

"Forget it, whoever comes today is here to listen to music, so let's not waste our time on this."

However, despite saying that, he knew that there were quite a few "big names" present.

Judging from the information leaked online, quite a few people he didn't expect came to the scene.

At least a hundred public figures who did not receive his invitation arrived at the event through their own means, hiding among the vast crowd of 100,000 people.

There might be a world-class celebrity in some corner. But for Zhang Chen, since they're here, he won't treat them any differently.

After all, he still has a basic understanding of his own influence.

The qualitative change resulting from his leading position across multiple fields such as entertainment, finance, and technology means that those at higher levels understand Zhang Chen's true worth.

"Speaking of which, when I held my first concert, Avril Lavigne came up and suddenly sang a song for me, which really startled me."

Zhang Chen reminisced about the concert at that time.

At the same time, he didn't forget to turn around and glance at Avril, who was sitting upright in front of the drum set.

Avril smiled back.

She also felt that fate was a wonderful thing.

She didn't think too much about it at the time.

Back then, she greatly admired Zhang Chen.

That song, "Girlfrend," was actually written specifically for Zhang Chen.

It's no exaggeration to say that it was a live confession.

But over the years, Zhang Chen's attitude has made Avril see things more clearly.

At least she felt she had no chance.

However, this can also be considered a precious memory.

Back then, I was fearless, but I met a young Chinese man who was suppressed by Billboard during his first concert.

Now, having become a key member of Zhang Chen's team, she did not miss Zhang Chen's concert seven years later.

"Oh--"

The audience began to scream, and many people even whistled.

This made Avril blush deeply.

Everyone has a dark past.

She was indeed bold back then.

"I sang an English song just now, but I am Chinese, so I don't know if you've ever heard me sing in Chinese?"

If a singer like Jay Chou were to ask this question...

While Jay Chou has released several songs that have become global hits, it's possible that many fans who have listened to his English songs have actually heard his Chinese songs.

But since the person asking the question was Zhang Chen, the answers from the audience were very consistent.

“Yes!!!”

"Of course!"

"I heard it!"

Various languages converged to the same answer.

"Oh? Which song do you listen to the most?"

This time, everyone had a variety of answers.

"Proud Youth!"

"&￥……%……%"

""snails"!"

"The Blue Bird!"

Half-baked Chinese, mixed with pronunciations that no one could understand, and many more song titles with standard pronunciations echoed throughout the concert venue.

"This is difficult, as no one has a unified answer."

Zhang Chen pretended to be in a difficult position, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

There is nothing more joyful than having the whole world listen to all of your songs.

Even though Zhang Chen already owns a multinational company and holds a top position in the world.

But he couldn't help being happy to see so many fans who love his music.

Of course, there is a setlist for the concert.

But for him, it was simply following procedure.

He prefers to sing songs that the audience likes, according to their preferences.

Although the purpose of this concert was not only the concert itself, he also had the intention of "exploiting" the fans.

But when he actually stands on the stage, he is still moved by everyone in the audience.

The emotions shown to him by so many enthusiastic fans are something he cannot and does not want to ignore.

"How about singing 'Time Boils the Rain'? I think the lyrics of this song really reflect my current mood."

"it is good--"

Avril and the other three quickly got into the swing of things.

Unlike the two passionate English songs we just listened to.

This time the melody is much more beautiful.

"Wind blows and rain turns into flowers"
Time can't catch up with the white horse

The Dreams in Your Youthful Palm
"

This time there was no synchronized clapping or keeping time.

But everyone unconsciously raised their glow sticks.

At first, only a few people swayed to the rhythm of the music.

But as the song progressed, more and more people joined in.

We promised we wouldn't separate.
We'll always be together.

Those who came to the event today can all be considered Zhang Chen's die-hard fans.

While people might not be the most familiar with this song from one of Zhang Chen's most recent albums, they certainly have a strong memory of it.

Of the 100,000 people, at least half can hum a few lines.

Tens of thousands of people were able to sing the entire song along with Zhang Chen.

This song is like a clear spring, bringing a touch of coolness to the otherwise restless concert.

That sense of "agreement" reminded everyone of the days when they often teased Zhang Chen online for being "lazy".

In recent years, countless Zhang Chen's fans have flocked to Zhang Chen's social media platforms to urge him to hold a concert whenever they see which singer has held a concert, where, when, and how many times.

After so many years of urging, isn't today's concert also a kind of "promise"?

"How about another song, 'Finally Waiting for You'?"

After finishing his song, Zhang Chen realized that today might be a special day.

Since it's a promise, perhaps this song can better express the feelings in the hearts of the fans?

"it is good--"

One hundred thousand people, regardless of age, occupation, or social status, seemed to transform into kindergarten children at this moment.

They were willing to agree to whatever Zhang Chen said.

".
Finally you are here

Thankfully, I didn't give up.
Happiness is hard-won
"

For the 100,000 people present, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear their idols sing for them live.

This is a kind of "happiness" that is hard to come by.

Although this song is about love.
