Jiang Yan's words caused the audience to start uproar.
However, they were only surprised by the incident of "harming Jiang Yan", rather than by Jiang Yan speaking out in public.
After all, this is the United States, and there are many people who are outspoken. The Chinese way of saving each other's face, persuading each other tactfully, and teaching them earnestly is alien.
So the fans were surprised, the celebrities were waiting silently for the next part, and the reporters immediately pricked up their ears and began to concentrate on capturing the next shocking news.
At this time Jiang Yan continued on the stage:
"I know that as a Chinese, traveling across the ocean to make a living here will indeed encounter many, many difficulties."
"Those tangible and invisible obstacles sometimes really bother me."
"Just like this tour, there is a fact I want to tell you. For some reasons, after today's performance at Staples, I can only choose some leftover open-air venues for the next shows."
After a sentence was finished, people in the audience began to talk.
Those of you who are knowledgeable here will understand clearly what an open-air venue is for side communication. It is a permanent venue for some third-rate artists, and it is naturally inappropriate for someone like Jiang Yan, who has won several Grammy trophies.
It's like winning an Oscar for Best Actor in Hollywood, but the next projects are all low-cost, small-scale productions with little artistic value. This is naturally a humiliation for an actor's career.
As for what the "certain reasons" are, some senior people have probably guessed that they are basically related to the Olympic bid.
However, there are also people who don't understand. In their opinion, what Jiang Yan said is actually a bit hypocritical.
It's not impossible for high-level artists to take on low-level projects like this. As for art, there's no difference. If you really feel that it's not worthy of you, either you refuse, or you use your ability to make a comeback.
So many people who don't know why have some opinions on Jiang Yan's words.
But Jiang Yan said immediately:
"Actually, it doesn't matter to me where I hold the concert. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm actually not the kind of person who cares about these things."
"I don't care about commercial value or cast position. What I care about is that I can sing my works to my fans. Music has no borders. My works can make fans from all over the world enjoy happiness. This is
My greatest joy."
"So it doesn't matter whether it's in the Grand Theater or under the overpass. As long as there is a fan here, I will sing to you, no matter day or night, no matter how windy or rainy it is."
At this point, a group of fans in the audience began to respond with warm cheers.
Even if some journalists and celebrities knew in their hearts that Jiang Yan was talking nonsense, they would definitely give them applause at this time.
Well, in the United States, the culture of admiration for speeches is quite developed.
When the cheers died down, Jiang Yan continued:
"So whether those people want to take away my concert venue or hinder my new album, I don't care!"
After a pause, Jiang Yan put on a look of grievance and continued, "But if you want to slander me and impose a personality on me, that would be disgusting!"
These words also directly confused the people in the audience.
What imposes a personality?
Is there anything else like this?
Without thinking too much, Jiang Yan explained it himself:
"What did they say? They said that Joey can change the weather! They said that as long as I sing "Free as the Wind", strong winds will blow in the sky!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.
After all, we are all normal people, and we will know this is too fake as soon as we hear it.
Jiang Yan also smiled and continued: "You also know how funny this is, right? How outrageous is it to think of such a way to slander me? But it is true! As soon as I got off the plane, someone ran up to me and asked
, he said, Joey, are you a god? Can you really change the weather? My expression at that time was the same as yours."
Jiang Yan sat down and made a "black question mark face" expression.
The audience in the audience also laughed again.
Jiang Yan continued: "Later I bought a newspaper at the newsstand and wanted to see the recent performance of the Lakers. The newsstand owner looked at me, lowered his head again, went back and forth several times, and then asked me, Joey
, can you sing a song to blow those Wall Street guys away?"
"Hahaha~~"
Jiang Yan's vivid description made the audience laugh wildly again.
While everyone saw the humorous Jiang Yan, they also learned that the matter of "singing to make people laugh" had already appeared in the newspapers.
And if it's in the newspaper, there's a lot more to think about behind it.
The reporters present had a deep understanding of this, because they are in this field, so many of them knew the news.
It's just that everyone thought it was a joke at first, and no one would take it seriously.
But now, considering what Jiang Yan said before about "the venue being taken away" and "the album being stumbled", it's no wonder that Jiang Yan wants to say this in public now.
After all, this is really disgusting.
Why don't you come up with a half-truth? This can also confuse the audience. Do you really think everyone is stupid when you come up with something like this?
The only ones who are confused about the situation are probably those domestic fans who have just arrived in the United States.
Because they don't understand.
However, looking at the cheerful faces of tens of thousands of people in this scene, everyone knew that what Jiang Yan said in such a jabbering manner was at least not a bad thing.
As for the ladies who came with Jiang Yan, they already knew that Jiang Yan was going to do this. What is this called? This is called a frontal counterattack.
Naturally, everyone supports this.
And seeing the reaction of tens of thousands of fans now, everyone knows that this hidden danger will probably not be a problem for Jiang Yan in the future.
At this time Jiang Yan on the stage continued:
"I don't know what they think, but if you think about it from another angle, the ability to make the wind blow when you sing is really cool. It makes no sense for Mr. Stan Lee not to write me into "X-Men". With Storm, then
It makes sense to have a storm man, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone laughed again, and after the laughter ended, Jiang Yan said:
"There's a difference between fantasy and reality, so let's get back to the music."
"Didn't those people say that the wind would blow when I sang "Free Like the Wind"? Well, today I will break this rumor and please watch the big screen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, footage from outside the arena appeared on the newly installed big screen at Staples Center.
In the picture, there are many fans waiting outside the arena who did not enter the arena, which indirectly reflects Jiang Yan's popularity.
At the same time, the spectators in the outfield also received the signal and knew that the infield was watching them at this moment, so everyone cheered and waved hello.
Jiang Yan continued: "Have you seen those flagpoles? There's no wind outside right now, so let's take a closer look."
As soon as he finished speaking, the prelude of "Free as the Wind" sounded.
The audience in the infield continued to enjoy the music.
"I am as free as the wind
Just like your tenderness cannot be saved
"
To be honest, Joey's Chinese songs are actually pretty good.
This song "Free Like the Wind" is rock music and has a higher acceptability, so even if you don't understand the lyrics, through Jiang Yan's performance, everyone can feel the emotions conveyed in the song.
As for the big screen?
Do you still need to look at this obvious thing?
So at this time, the big screen is not so much evidence as it is an interactive interface inside and outside the venue.
Looking at the fans who couldn't enter the venue, the audience in the venue felt a lot of pride. After all, we bought the tickets. This experience is completely different.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly noticed that the flags on the flagpoles on the screen began to dance.
