HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 407 [407] What a grand appearance! A foreign diva shows up at Qi Yuan's concert!

Many people share the same misconception as Huang Bo.

This includes Qi Yuan's domestic fans, as well as domestic actors, singers, and industry leaders who came to watch the concert.

Seeing that most of the people sitting in the VIP and high-end areas were foreigners, many of the top stars in the industry felt ashamed.

They all release press releases boasting about how amazing they are, and they slap on labels like "Asia's new king and queen of pop" to themselves as if they were free.

When they hold concerts, the audience is all Chinese. When they hold concerts in places like Malaysia, the audience is still all Chinese, with very few real foreigners.

Look at Qi Yuan, translate what a true global superstar is? This is what a global superstar is.

A concert in China can attract 20,000 to 30,000 foreigners who pay high prices for tickets.

Qi Yuan's example clearly shows everyone that the gap between two superstars is greater than the gap between a human and a dog.

……

At 7 o'clock in the evening.

The giant screen suddenly lit up, shooting out a red light. A blurred photo of Qi Yuan and the covers of various albums began to appear, accompanied by rousing opening music. The audience was instantly ignited, and everyone knew that the show was about to begin.

A dozen seconds later, the photos and covers on the screen began to shatter, somewhat similar to the special effects of a planet exploding, creating a strong visual impact.

The countless particles shattered from the explosion reformed to form the name 'Kris Qi'.

Then, all the lights in the venue came on, and at the point where countless beams of light converged, the silhouette of a figure slowly rose in the bright light.

On both sides of the stage, rows of dazzling fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating the entire venue.

The entire stadium instantly became filled with excitement.

"Chris!?"

"I wish to be with you!"

"Kiwon Oppa!"

"I pray! I pray!!"

……

Today, Qi Yuan appeared wearing an incredibly simple white haute couture shirt paired with blue ripped jeans, simple yet stylish.

The intense drumbeats resonated throughout the venue through hundreds of speakers.

This song is "Wavin Flag," written by Qi Yuan as a promotional song for the Olympic bid.

This song has an exciting melody and meaningful lyrics that can inspire people's passion and spirit of unity. It is very suitable for use in sports events and is also very suitable as an opening song.

The fellow singers present were once again filled with envy.

What a privilege! The promotional song for the Olympic bid can be sung over and over again at his own concert. Other singers don't get this treatment.

"Oh~ Oh~ Oh~~~"

Give me freedom, give me fire, give me reason, take me higher.

"See the champions, take the field now, you define us, make us feel proud."

Qi Yuan and his accompaniment sang and danced on stage, quickly arousing the audience's enthusiasm.

Midway through the song, Qi Yuan handed the microphone to the audience, allowing 70,000 spectators to participate in the event.

Seventy thousand people sang in unison: "Oh~ Oh~ Oh!"

The chorus was incredibly powerful; Huang Bo felt like his ears were about to go deaf, but the atmosphere and feeling were truly amazing.

No wonder so many people enjoy watching singers' concerts; the atmosphere at a concert is incomparable to that of a studio album.

After "Wavin Flag" ended, Qi Yuan transformed into a piano prince, playing and singing "When I Was Your Man." The lyrics included, "That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand (I could have spent more time with you while I still had the chance to love you)."

"I should have given you all my hours when I had the chance (to take you to various dance parties)."

"Take you to every party because all you wanted to do was dance (Now you can finally dance, but I'm no longer the one with you)."

This is one of Bruno Mars's hit songs. In terms of sentimentality, it's like a more powerful version of Jay Chou's "Can't Open My Mouth," carrying the word "pain" to the very end.

This song has a really impressive feature: it's basically sung entirely with piano accompaniment, which is equivalent to singing a cappella and puts the singer's skills to the ultimate test.

Singers with poor singing skills wouldn't dare sing this song live, because it could easily turn into a train wreck.

Having debuted for over three years, Qi Yuan's singing skills are almost at their peak, making her a top performer even in the global pop music scene.

He vividly expressed his regret, pain, annoyance, self-blame, and loss of his beloved, and showed off his singing skills in front of 70,000 fans.

Tens of thousands of domestic fans in the audience were unhappy.

Qi Yuan, you've changed.

Is this intentional? Are you afraid we'll steal your lyrics? Knowing we're not good at English, you deliberately sing English songs.

Qi Yuan wanted to say that he treated everyone equally. The song he just sang was very difficult, and there weren't many singers who could perfectly master it. Foreign fans couldn't sing along either.

However, Qi Yuan is very fond of his fans; he sang "Baby" as his third song.

This song is perfect for singing along to. The lyrics "baby, baby, oh" are familiar to most Chinese people who have attended elementary school.

As Qi Yuan had predicted.

When he sang the part about babies, the entire audience waved their glow sticks and sang along in unison.

"Baby baby baby oh!"

"like baby baby baby no!"

The chorus of 70,000 people echoed for kilometers around, almost shaking the stadium to its core.

Singing this song made fans both at home and abroad very happy, and everyone could belt out a few lines.

After singing a few English songs, Qi Yuan catered to the feelings of his domestic fans by singing three popular Chinese songs: "Hua Tian Cuo," "Tong Hua," and "Wei Wei Xie Shi."

After catering to his domestic fans, Qi Yuan switched to English songs, singing "That's What I Like," "Sugar," and "Unstoppable," aiming to reach a wider audience.

In the subsequent performances, songs such as "Dong Feng Po," "Small Town Girl," "See You Again," and "7 Years" bombarded the audience in turn.

Qi Yuan sang and danced for a full hour without even breaking a sweat. Her physical fitness and vocal abilities were the envy of everyone present.

What's even more outrageous is that Qi Yuan has so many great songs. In one hour, not a single song was just filler; they were all masterpieces.

This is terrifying; there are very few singers in the entire Chinese music scene who can do this.

Aside from Qi Yuan, how many people dare to say that a two- or three-hour concert consists entirely of high-quality songs? There are very few.

But shouldn't Qi Yuan, who has been singing for an hour straight, take a break? Three hours straight? Impossible! Qi Yuan isn't Superman.

This time everyone guessed right. Qi Yuan glanced at her watch and thought it was about time to go backstage to change her clothes.

Everyone is eager to see what transition Qi Yuan will use.

"Next, I'll briefly hand over the stage to a mystery guest, and you'll never guess who it is!"

After keeping everyone in suspense, Qi Yuan finally revealed the answer.

"Please welcome our special guest, Latin pop star Shakira."

Hey!
The industry colleagues in the audience were collectively dumbfounded. Qi Yuan has such a big entourage! Did she invite an international diva to be a guest at her concert?

Those 20,000 to 30,000 foreign audience members were absolutely thrilled! Chris's concert was totally worth it! For just a couple hundred dollars, you could see both Chris and Shakira at the same time—it was an incredible deal!
