The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 579 Guest performer, is there a new song?
A concert usually lasts for more than an hour.

It's obviously impossible to have a singer perform for a full hour.

Putting aside whether I can physically handle it, my throat alone is completely unable to take it.

So after singing about eight songs, Zhang Chen left the stage.

Who will be the guest performers at this concert?

The audience members present were all speculating.

Back in 00, Zhang Chen invited world-class singers such as Celine Dion, Madonna, and Leslie Cheung to perform.

Zhang Chen's status has now risen even higher; he is now a world-class singer, or rather, the undisputed number one in the music industry.

Zhang Chen basically controls all singers' album releases.

In this situation, it's not an exaggeration to say that every singer in the world has to give Zhang Chen face, right?

Then
Who did Zhang Chen invite to the New York stop?
"I can't wait!"

Everyone present saw Zhang Chen leave the stage, and naturally began to wonder how many surprises would come today.

Without a doubt, the special guest at the concert is definitely one of the most anticipated things tonight.

"What are you waiting for?"

Just as everyone's eyes were fixed on the backstage area, Avril stood up from the band's formation.

"With the four of us here, what are you expecting?" Avril asked, her tone slightly annoyed. "Do you think we're not qualified?"

"Huh?" Many people exclaimed in surprise.

But upon closer reflection, it seems reasonable.

Yes.

Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift are currently the world's top-tier singers.

With these two already here, is it really necessary to invite other singers to join us?

"Ah—Avril!!!"

There were quite a few Avril Lavigne fans at the scene.

Especially the audience from China.

This is also the result of Avril Lavigne's many years of business operations in China.

Her largest fanbase worldwide is not in her home country of Canada.

It is China.

One reason is company-related and Zhang Chen's arrangement; another reason is that the population of Canada is vastly different from that of China.

Finally, it's because although Avril Lavigne's songs are in English, they are surprisingly popular among young people in China.

"While Lyon is resting until the day after tomorrow, let me sing a few songs for everyone first."

Avril nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the fans, who were still incredibly excited, though not as enthusiastic as they were towards Zhang Chen.

Fortunately, I still have influence.

After just one hour, she almost began to doubt whether she was even famous anymore.

“I’m not going to let you request songs like Lyon did. Let’s start with ‘Girlfrend’.”

Needless to say, almost everyone has heard this song.

As for why no other singers were specially arranged to perform as guest singers at the concert...

Avril and the others also asked Zhang Chen about it at the time.

Zhang Chen's answer was simple—there's no need.

Yes, there is no need to arrange for other big-name singers to help out.

Zhang Chen, Avril Lavigne, and Taylor Swift are enough to carry any concert.

Even those few people Zhang Chen invited to his concert seven years ago.

Even now, I wouldn't dare say that he surpasses Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift in terms of fame.

What's more, back then only one person was invited to the event, but now Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift are performing together.

Finally, it is the most important point.

At the time, Zhang Chen was being suppressed by Billboard, so he naturally needed external help to make the matter as big as possible.

There's no need for that now.

After all, inviting other people to help at a concert would mean giving away a favor.

Zhang Chen's personal connections are now more valuable than anything else.

Repaying favors owed to others is now far more troublesome than before.

But Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift are different; they're on the same side.

"Hey! Hey! You! You!

I don't like your girlfriend
"

In the next ten minutes or so, Avril finished her work.

Zhang Chen changed out of her soaked clothes and appeared before everyone with a completely new look.

The concert continued, and Zhang Chen sang for another half hour before going backstage to rest.

This time, Taylor Swift is filling in.

Unsurprisingly, he was welcomed by everyone present.

Can you not welcome me?
Although there were fewer surprises.

But being able to hear the voices of two other world-class divas at Zhang Chen's concert was worth it!

Just the fact that Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift appeared at the concert made everyone feel that the ticket price was worthwhile.

What's more, Zhang Chen, whom they had been waiting for for seven years, sang for them for over an hour.

Just
As the concert drew to a close, a sense of loss began to well up in everyone's hearts.

"Hey, is everyone tired?"

Having taken over Taylor Swift's "shift," Zhang Chen, who had just finished resting backstage, returned to the front of the stage and noticed that the atmosphere was slightly different.

He observed that many people's expressions no longer reflected the initial excitement and enthusiasm.

"Did Avril and Taylor disappoint you?"

Zhang Chen looked curiously at the two people in the band's direction and asked, "What did you do to my dear fans?"

He heard from backstage that the atmosphere at the event was pretty good.

What's happening here?
What happened during the ten-odd minutes he was away?
When Zhang Chen asked Avril a slightly teasing question, she simply shrugged and indicated that she didn't know either.

Taylor Swift opened her mouth, then seemed to remember something and said a few words in the team's voice chat.

This channel is only accessible to the four members of the band and singer Zhang Chen.

Avril Lavigne's eyes lit up when she heard Taylor Swift's words.

Both Yoona and Sooyoung, who were already panting, stared intently at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen ignored the group of people whose eyes were shining, and instead turned around to face the audience thoughtfully.

What I saw were pairs of eyes that wanted to speak but dared not.

"I think I know what you guys are thinking." Zhang Chen smiled. "Are you wondering why there aren't any new songs tonight?"

Zhang Chen had barely finished speaking when he received a warm response.

"Yes, yes!"

"Lyon, is there a new song tonight?"

"Writing a new song shouldn't be too difficult for Lyon, right?"

If it were any other singer, they certainly wouldn't have such a wish.

But for Zhang Chen, the "hit song maker," their wish is not excessive at all.

Who can blame Zhang Chen for never disappointing anyone when it comes to his creative work since his debut?

Whether it's movies or his main job as a singer, he has never disappointed anyone.

"New song! New song! New song!"

Countless people started to jeer.

At first, they thought it was a pipe dream, but they also felt there might be some surprises.

From the moment they bought their tickets, they were actually hoping that Zhang Chen would sing a new song at the concert.

If so, then this one song alone would absolutely be worth their ticket price.

Zhang Chen's new song premiere, especially his live performance, is definitely worth the price.

"What a pity." Facing the expectations of so many people, Zhang Chen shrugged and said, "I really didn't prepare in advance."

"what?"

"Huh?!" Everyone was stunned.

How can it be?

Zhang Chen first gained fame for his identity as a "creative genius".

How could you not take advantage of this identity when you're holding a concert?
If a new song is premiered at the concert, it will definitely elevate the atmosphere of the concert to another level.

"Brother Chen really doesn't have any new songs prepared?"

After listening and studying all night, Jay Chou asked curiously in the VIP box.

This private room is very large, and can easily accommodate more than twenty people.

The people here are all Zhang Chen's friends or close associates in the music industry.

Among them are Chinese singers such as Jay Chou, Wang Fei, Zhang Rongguo, and Liu Huan.

Of course, there are also a few leading figures from Morning Light Music in the music scene.

For example, Zhang Shaohan, Zhang Liangying, and Yao Beina are among them.

Although the three are young, it's really hard to say who is stronger or weaker in terms of reputation in the Chinese music scene right now.

As for other guests such as actors, directors, bosses, and customers, they will naturally be provided with other private rooms to watch the show.

"I haven't heard the boss mention it."

"I do not have either."

"I also."

Jay Chou was speechless after receiving three very simple answers.

Is it really not true?

However, he quickly realized what was happening, turned his head and looked towards the center of the private room, calling out, "Sister Yifei."

After a pause, feeling a little awkward about the form of address, Jay Chou continued, "Brother Chen, do you have a new song in mind?"

His shout drew everyone's attention to Liu Yifei at the front of the room.

They were just chatting about this in private.

Liu Yifei turned her head and first gave Zhou Jielun a look that said, "You know what's good for you."

Because during their casual chat in the private room, she had a good discussion with Jay Chou about the issue of "generation".

Liu Yifei debuted earlier than Jay Chou!

After savoring the feeling of being a senior for a moment, Liu Yifei pouted and said, "No."

"Really?"

Those who received the answer were inevitably somewhat disappointed.

Their thoughts were the same as all the viewers.

They are singers, that's true, but they approached Zhang Chen with a learning attitude.

Even veterans like Liu Huan and Leslie Cheung, who have been in the music industry for many years, share this idea.

There's no other reason than that Zhang Chen's new songs always inspire them.

Especially singer-songwriters like Jay Chou.

Although there are many rumors that Jay Chou's musical style is similar to Zhang Chen's, he doesn't want to deny it.

Jay Chou knows that many of his creations after his debut have indeed drawn inspiration from Zhang Chen's style.

But will we not hear Brother Chen's new song today?
Jay Chou couldn't help but turn his attention back to the stage with some regret.

"However," Liu Yifei snorted softly, her back to everyone, as the private room fell silent again, "this guy will definitely not let go of this opportunity to show off... you know."

"What are you pretending for?" Liu Huan, a middle-aged man, couldn't understand.

Liu Yifei blushed, somewhat embarrassed to say the word, and simply smiled and said, "Just wait and see, there should be some unexpected developments."

The initial disappointment of the group was rekindled by Liu Yifei's words, which rekindled their hope.

Coincidentally, right after they finished their conversation, a new situation arose on stage.

Then, a staff member from backstage brought up a music synthesizer.

Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but be amazed.

Could it be?

"Created on the spot?" Jay Chou exclaimed.

Liu Huan laughed out loud: "Just as he would do."

"It's still the Zhang Chen we know." The princess covered her mouth and chuckled.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes: "I knew it! How could he possibly let go of an opportunity like this?"

Although he said that, the smile on his lips was more intense than anyone else's.

Because his name is Zhang Chen.

Haven't other singers thought of using this method to create a stunning experience for everyone?
Is it that they don't want to?

They simply don't have the ability!
There are many singers in the world who can compose music live, like Jay Chou, whom she just asked.

But composing music, writing lyrics, synthesizing in a short time, and performing directly.

We also need to maintain the quality of the songs.

Then in this world, only Zhang Chen can do it.

This confidence stems from the countless times Zhang Chen has written songs for her over the years.

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Chen on the stage with a bright and excited expression.

It has to be said, a man who gets serious is really handsome.

Especially men who can do things that no one else can.

Liu Yifei leaned forward as if to get a closer look.

The others couldn't sit still either. Jay Chou had already left his seat and pressed his face against the glass of the box, his eyes fixed on Zhang Chen, who had already started operating the equipment on stage.

Others, disregarding their own reserve, rushed to occupy other spots on the glass.

In an instant, the entire private box, facing the stage through the glass, was surrounded by people.

Liu Yifei originally wanted to remain calm, but seeing so many people surrounding her and blocking her view made her realize that...

Enraged, she stood up on her sofa and looked down at the stage through the gaps above everyone's heads.

After the commotion in the singer's box subsided, Zhang Chen on stage had already input several tracks of various instruments.

Without any hesitation, he immediately pressed the play button.

The first thing that appears is a simple drum set.

Avril Lavigne, from the band's formation, pouted helplessly.

However, she didn't care that Zhang Chen had abandoned her as the band's drummer; instead, she listened attentively to the melody.

The other three members of the band did the same thing.

If they are like this, one can only imagine how the audience at the scene felt.

They already guessed what Zhang Chen was going to do when he was operating the system.

Surprise!

accident!

Stunned!

Incredible!

Countless emotions intertwined in everyone's hearts.

But even more so, there was an even stronger sense of anticipation than before the concert.

Only a few minutes have passed?

Is there ten minutes?
In that little time, an average singer couldn't even finish practicing a melody, right?
In that short time, Zhang Chen had already completed the melodies for all the instruments and uploaded them to the audio tracks.

The melody is fine; after all, the more experienced a singer is, the better they can put together a catchy melody on the spot.

But what about the songs?

Where are the lyrics?
Did you already have it in mind during the ten minutes you were typing the melody?

Or should you sing while thinking?

But regardless of which one, ...
That's insane!

It's not that they don't trust Zhang Chen.

What's truly astonishing is the way Zhang Chen writes songs, and the astonishing speed at which he does so; it's hard to believe that he actually finished a song in such a short time.

Therefore, for the first time today, countless people have begun to have doubts.

"Hey"
