HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 145 [145] A scumbag in the music industry, he starts a song and gets tens of thousands of people singing.

A concert with 50,000 people was truly breathtaking; the front and left/right sides were packed with people.

People shouted in unison, and the echo could be heard a second or two later.

This was Qi Yuan's first time standing on a stage with such a large audience, but he always enjoyed being on stage.

He wasn't nervous at all; he really enjoyed the feeling of tens of thousands of people waving back when he waved. It was so exhilarating!

"From the waves that have crossed five thousand miles, still on the old city walls, all the yellow faded from history gathers into the sunset and dyes me."

Qi Yuan sang and played the guitar, and the energetic song set the stage on fire.

This song would be perfect for opening a concert in mainland China.

More than half of the 50,000 people who came to the event today were young people and students.

When we're young, we're all a bit immature and think we're the best, the most important person in the world.

Everyone felt that they were sure to accomplish something extraordinary.

"Five thousand years have finally come, it's my turn to take the stage," this line expresses the sentiments of the people.

When they sang the chorus, Qi Yuan imitated Zhou Jielun later, taking the microphone off the stand and handing it to the audience, shouting loudly: "Big monk!"

The response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic.

"The yellow race came to earth, holding high their new chests; the yellow race walked the road, and the world knew we were different. The more turbulent the times, the braver we became; the world's changes demanded our courage; with an open heart, we roamed the four corners of the earth; after five thousand years, it was finally my turn to take the stage..."

The different timbres of the voices intertwine to create a massive wave of sound, making the singing truly spectacular!

As soon as the chorus started, the audience got excited. The audience's singing was so loud that it almost drowned out Qi Yuan's singing.

Qi Yuan then sang songs such as "Starry Sky", "You'll Be With Me All My Life", "Because of Love, So I Love", and "Jiangnan".

The audience sang along throughout the entire performance. Although most of the people present had never studied singing, the effect of all their voices blending together was truly stunning. This is the charm of a large-scale chorus, and also the charm of a concert.

Li Bingbing, Li Xue, Fan Xiaopang, Huang Xiaoming, Yan Danchen, Gao Yuanyuan, and Zhang Tong, who were sitting in different seats in the front row, all felt like they were going deaf.

Qi Yuan sang ten songs on stage and then started to lie down. He was singing "Dong Feng Po".

"A lonely candle of parting sorrow stands by the window, I pretend you haven't left behind the door, revisiting the old place, the full moon only makes me feel more lonely, the candlelight that is awake in the middle of the night cannot bear to blame me."

After starting, Qi Yuan handed the microphone to tens of thousands of audience members, and then didn't sing another single lyric.

This opened the eyes of Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and others. Could it really be done like this?

People pay money to see your concert, and you just start it and then let them sing for you?

And tens of thousands of fans had no objections; they sang with great joy.

Qi Yuan wasn't just slacking off the whole time; after having tens of thousands of audience members sing a few songs for him, he started giving it his all again.

He sang R&B songs such as "Small Town Girl," and to avoid fans singing along, he improvised key changes and vocal variations.

This time, the fans were dumbfounded. Qi Yuan really went to great lengths to prevent them from singing along. His version was completely different from the studio version. How were they supposed to sing along?
R&B singers are often known for their improvisational style, emphasizing emotional expression and free improvisation.

Live key changes are a major characteristic of R&B singers.

Many R&B singers can easily recover from forgetting the lyrics or singing a line or two wrong during a live performance.

Qi Yuan's masterful singing skills are enough to support him in performing various tricks and stunts, bringing a different listening experience to the same song.

"Woo~"

Li Xue looked at Qi Yuan, who was improvising on stage, with eyes full of admiration.

Li Bingbing also found Qi Yuan incredibly charming on stage; no wonder her younger sister liked him so much. Let alone her sister, she herself would also...

No, she already told Li Xue that she didn't like Qi Yuan's type, and she would never compete with her sister for a man. So no matter how charming Qi Yuan is, he has to become zero-charm in her eyes.

She glanced at Li Xue, who was cheering for Qi Yuan, and coughed twice to keep calm.

After the concert, various media outlets followed up with reports.

[The King of Pop is actually a 'scumbag'; fans paid 80 yuan to see his concert, and he made them sing for 40 yuan.]

What's the big deal? It's nothing. Qi Yuan at least earned 40 yuan for singing.

Later, Wu Baicai went too far. Audiences paid 580 yuan to see his concert, but he only sang for 80 yuan, making the audience pay 500 yuan.

[Qi Yuan breaks the record for the largest concert attendance by a mainland Chinese singer with a attendance of 50,000 people]

[Nayoung's record of 40,000 attendees at her Shenyang concert has been broken by Qi Yuan]

[Tens of thousands of people sang together, moving countless fans]

[A beacon of light for the mainland music scene! A beacon of hope for mainland pop music!]

The mainland media and ordinary people started to celebrate, and even people in the music industry felt pretty good!

Finally, a mainland singer has held a concert on their home turf that rivals those of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

The overwhelming success of Qi Yuan's Beijing concert was even reported by newspapers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

alpha.

Having just come out of the recording studio, Chou Chieh-lun looked at the newspaper with some longing: "Ah-Yuan is really awesome. A concert for 50,000 people, that scene must be spectacular."

One day, he will also hold a concert for 50,000 people, just like Qi Yuan.

Compared to Qi Yuan's 50,000-seat concert in Beijing, the Taipei Arena in Taiwan and the Hong Kong Coliseum in Hong Kong seem less exciting.

Because the venue is too small, the maximum number of people who can attend a single event is already over 10,000.

If you want 20,000 people to attend a show, you'll have to sell standing-room-only tickets.

Making fans spend hundreds of dollars to stand for hours—how disgusting is that? Few singers would do something that would damage their reputation; they'd rather hold multiple concerts in the same location.

Riding on the success of Qi Yuan's first concert in mainland China, Warner Music took the opportunity to promote Dai Pei Ni's new album.

[Pop king Chi Yuan's fellow labelmate, Dai Pei Ni, will release a new album in January next year]

This news quickly spread throughout Taiwan.

Qi Yuan is too popular. Dai Peini became a minor celebrity this year with "You Exist in My Song". She already had a certain level of popularity. The combination of these two things has made her debut album even more noteworthy.

Alpha followed Warner's lead by releasing news of Jay Chou's debut album.

[Jay Chou, the Taiwanese musical prodigy who composed the hit song "Dong Feng Po," will be releasing his debut solo album "Jay" in January next year. Stay tuned!]

Some Taiwanese media outlets even used headlines like "Qi Yuan's junior sister vs. Qi Yuan's composer".

Taiwanese fans were surprised that even though Qi Yuan was no longer in Taiwan, his legend still existed in the Taiwanese music scene.

Warner and Alfa Music tacitly labeled Dai Pei-ni and Jay Chou with the tagline "Qi Yuan".

Undeniably, the results were fantastic.

Everyone is curious about who is more talented, Qi Yuan's junior sister or Qi Yuan's composer.

Amidst the discussions among fans, Jay Chou and Penny Tai's popularity in Taiwan began to rise.
