305 The Chinese King Shines in Los Angeles (Part 2)
"Damn it, Cao Xuan!"
In the audience, Yuan Gong, who was scolding happily, was stunned when he saw the familiar figure on the big screen.
He was busy with classes during this time, and in his free time he was trying to find ways to seduce Sandy. He had no interest in the American music scene or entertainment industry, and had no idea that Cao Xuan had come to the United States.
Seeing a familiar artist in a foreign country, Yuan Gong was confused and happy with his shock and excitement, but then he thought about the situation at the scene, and his mood turned to worry.
He had seen what happened to the singer just now. He was scolded very much. He didn't care before, but now that his compatriot came on stage, the double-standard Yuan Gong immediately started to show up to Cao Xuan.
But it was unrealistic for him to stop so many people, so he simply shouted at the top of his lungs to cheer for Cao Xuan.
"Cao Xuan, come on!"
As the second largest city in the United States, Los Angeles, along with New York and San Francisco, are important gathering places for Chinese people.
Therefore, although there were not many Chinese or Chinese people who knew Cao Chuan at the scene, there were more than three digits.
With Cao Xuan's influence in the Chinese world, coupled with the recent popularity in the United States, basically more than 90% of the Chinese people present know him, whether it is out of solidarity with his compatriots or to show off in front of his companions.
Most of the Chinese present chose to defect immediately, and some also shouted like Yuan Gong, "Come on."
In order to cover up the curses, these people shouted at the top of their lungs. Some of them were so close to the stage that Cao Xuan heard them. Cao Xuan gave a thumbs up to the audience and said in Chinese.
"Thanks."
The Chinese people who received the response were even more excited, but Cao Xuan had no time to care about them. He held the microphone with both hands and nodded to the band members.
The band members who had simply gone through the process before were silent, while Cao Xuan sang in a low voice.
"Well, hold the line
you still insist
When every ohem is giving up in, tell
When everyone else has stopped trying and has been drained of hope by frustration
…
in? Will it save us fr our private? Will it?
Will heaven intervene to change the destiny and save us from the sins we have committed?
'Cau color this hou color of fan ands strong
And I have nothing to worry about, because the kingdom I built will stand forever
…”
Although the lyrics of the lyrics were not heavy, they still suppressed the insults and attacks from many fans.
Many fans even stopped booing and silently stared at the Asian young man with his eyes closed and singing in a clear voice through the microphone. From this special opening and the depressing performance of the song's first tone, many people felt a surge of emotions.
.
"That's the pay!
This is the price you have to pay!"
Sure enough, when the singing ended, Cao Xuan suddenly lengthened his singing voice and raised the pitch a little bit, and Avril Lavigne and the guitarist also started to accompany the song.
And these few arias, like shouts and warnings to everyone in front of you, are melodious, powerful, and full of emotional appeal.
Frankly speaking, the three songs in "Chras Tsao" are all particularly difficult to sing in English. Whether they are rock songs or lyrical songs, they rank among the top of his previous songs.
Cao Xuan spent a lot of effort to finish these three songs, which also brought his singing skills to a higher level.
In the past, Cao Xuan sang mostly love songs and inspirational songs, and he didn't dare to break through his comfort zone.
The English song released this time, two hard-hitting rock songs and unique lyricism, as well as the rhythm, pronunciation and singing of English songs, are a big test for Cao Xuan.
But the difficulty is high, which also means high improvement. In addition, he has accumulated a lot before, winning three English songs, breaking through the threshold, and naturally successfully upgraded.
If Cao Xuan's singing skills previously fluctuated from second-rate to first-rate, now, he can basically remain among the first-rate singers.
The sense of music, singing skills, technique, emotional use, etc. have all been improved to varying degrees. The overall evaluation is almost A+.
When the state is achieved, he is a powerful singer second only to the top singers, or even comparable to the top singers.
Even if his condition is mediocre, he can still be regarded as a serious and powerful group.
This is also the reason why Cao Xuan came to the United States. American pop music is popular, and there are many singers, hiding dragons and crouching tigers. They have no real ability, and they are just humiliating themselves.
And now Cao Xuan has achieved great success, not to mention that he has achieved great success, but he can still be considered as a master, even in the United States, where there are many masters, he is ranked high.
So the more difficult the situation, the more excited he becomes.
Because Cao Xuan has confidence in his own strength, even if he cannot conquer the whole audience, he will still get the praise he deserves.
“Rather be the prey
Stop escaping like prey and take the initiative like a hunter..."
Cao Xuan sang loudly, and the insults and boos in the audience had significantly subsided. Many viewers had been brought into the song by Cao Xuan and immersed in the emotion of the song.
Looking at the tens of thousands of spectators who were slowly quieting down in the audience, Cao Xuan opened his arms and suddenly shouted the chorus of "Natural" with a ferocious expression.
“Aan on the edge,
Now you're standing on the edge of a cliff
Fae up 'au color lure're a
Raise your head and face it because of you
Natural
Born this way
…”
Bang, the drummer who had been silent hit the drum set in front of him hard, and the members also fell into a state of frenzy.
Playing her instrument passionately along with the melody, Avril even began to harmonize with Cao Xuan. Her high-pitched female voice brought some unique charm to Cao Xuan's singing.
"A beatione
A heartbeat as strong as a rock
seduced gotta be so old
You have to learn to be cold and hard
To make it in this world
Find your place in this world
Yeah, lure're a natural
You were born this way
…”
Cao Xuan sang more and more violently. He held the microphone in his hand and swayed slightly. His whole face was swollen red and veins were visible on his neck. He screamed desperately.
Especially the last sentence, "You are born like this", even has some slight cracks in the sound.
This broken sound did not affect the quality of the performance, and the mood was even in place, adding a bit of soul.
"Oh oh oh!!!"
The crazy singing, explosive stage, and explosive melody finally made the audience give up thinking.
Everyone at the scene would jump and sway to the melody, stretch their hands towards the stage, and their faces were filled with excitement. The scene that had been bustling all day finally felt like a formal music festival.
The intense feedback from the fans at the scene made Cao Xuan even more excited. He took off the microphone from the stand, walked to the edge of the stage, and interacted with the audience while singing.
Under the fanatical atmosphere of the scene, Cao Xuan sang more steadily and became more explosive, and the audience became more and more excited. Tens of thousands of people at the scene fell into carnival following the melody.
Looking at the stage and the scene, the old white man who organized the event went crazy with joy. He grabbed his subordinates, pulled his neck and shouted.
"Quick, be sure to record these, FXXX, this 100,000 US dollars is really worth it."
The song "Natural" ended and as soon as the melody stopped, before Cao Xuan could say anything, many audience members spontaneously started shouting under the leadership of someone.
"Encore!"
"Encore!"
At first it was only part of the song, but soon it spread throughout the entire venue. There were tens of thousands of people present. I dare not say all of them. At least more than 90% of the audience were looking forward to another song from Cao Xuan.
The momentum was so great that it even attracted the group of singers backstage. Some of them ran out. Seeing this scene, they directly doubted their lives.
“Is this Chinese man possessed by Michael Jackson?”
Cao Xuan didn't care about the singers. In fact, not only did the audience not get enough of it, but Cao Xuan, who was already in full swing, didn't enjoy singing either.
Seeing that no one told him to leave, Cao Xuan simply signaled the band members to start the prelude of "Numb".
"Ahhh!"
Seeing the new melody played, the audience burst into cheers.
The power of music + ambient atmosphere made everyone forget their anger and began to rise and fall with the singing of the Chinese on the stage.
Compared with "Natural", the style of "numb" may not be as violent and explosive, but the power contained in the song is no less powerful.
The passionate melody brought tens of thousands of spectators from one carnival to another.
Many spectators at the scene were completely conquered by Cao Xuan, and the sound of their screams could almost shatter the glass.
Not only the audience was excited, but Cao Xuan himself was also very excited.
Although this scene is not as big as the Temple of Heaven concert, the charm of rock and roll has brought the atmosphere to the extreme. The scene of tens of thousands of people going crazy together is shocking and intoxicating.
Cao Xuan is relatively stable, but the band members who are second only to him in feeling the atmosphere of the scene are not as calm as him.
Including Avril Lavigne, they had never experienced such a glorious moment in front of tens of thousands of people. The fanatical atmosphere at the scene made them all deeply affected and brought tears to their eyes.
After singing "Numb", Avril was in a state of emotion. Cao Xuan, who couldn't resist the infinite charm on the stage, rushed over to hug her and kiss her.
If Cao Xuan hadn't been able to hide quickly, the news that Cao Xuan was tongue-kissed by an American girl would have made headlines back home tomorrow.
"Oh oh oh!"
The audience in the audience cheered enthusiastically. In fact, they understood Avril Lavigne's feelings very well and had no other ideas.
Instead, he was moved by Cao Xuan's grace on the stage and couldn't help but want to do something to vent his admiration. Hugging, kissing, and even kneeling down were all a way of release.
Cao Xuan didn't take it seriously, rubbed Avril's head, took her guitar, and started playing and singing "Luring're Beautiful" by himself.
This lyrical song no longer drove the audience crazy, but the audience who had been conquered before no longer had any oppositional emotions, but quietly enjoyed Cao Xuan's singing.
After singing the three songs of "Chris Tsao", Cao Xuan planned to leave the stage, but he couldn't resist the appeal of all the audience, so another group of "500 Mysteries" that he had "adapted" came.
This song is very famous in the United States. I can’t say that everyone can sing it, but they can always hum a few lines.
Although Cao Xuan's adapted version is slightly different from the original song, the style of the song is still roughly the same. Under the leadership of Cao Xuan, a chorus of ten thousand people came to the scene.
At the end of "500 Mysteries", Cao Xuan bowed and left the stage. The audience was unable to save him and gave him warm and long-lasting applause.
Backstage, a band from Houston was waiting. Seeing Cao Xuan and others coming over, the white lead singer, who had always been cold-faced, came over and took the initiative to shake hands with Cao Xuan.
"You saved this music festival and changed my impression of the Chinese people. Chris Cao, I will remember you."
Looking at the middle-school white guy, Cao Xuan didn't say anything to him, but shook hands with him in a friendly gesture.
"come on!"
"Thanks."
The lead singer came on stage to express his thanks, and the other members of the band followed suit. Each of them smiled at Cao Xuan or took the initiative to say hello.
When Cao Xuan came backstage, all the singers gave him a standing ovation and cheers.
The black singer who came on stage to remind him even whistled and rushed over to hug him.
"Incredible performance, my Chinese brother, amazing."
The old white man also came over to express his gratitude. Thanks to Cao Xuan's wonderful performance, this music festival was barely a success. Maybe next year we can make another wave of money.
Looking at the smiling old white man, Cao Xuan felt more and more that his $100,000 was short.
………
From being ostracized at the beginning, to being watched by everyone in Versailles, Cao Xuan has now become a real C-position backstage, with many singers taking the initiative to come and talk to him.
Cao Xuan dealt with it for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he was about to leave. As soon as he entered the parking lot and was about to get in the car, he heard someone calling him.
Turning around, Avril was chasing after her with a guitar bag on her back, and asked breathlessly.
"You haven't left me your phone number yet."
Cao Xuan took a business card and handed it to her. Avril put it away solemnly and asked expectantly.
"Can I hang out with you? I know a nice cafe."
In the United States, separate invitations between men and women are almost equivalent to dating.
Cao Xuan probably understood what Avril meant, but the girl was too young and most likely came here to fall in love, so it would be easy to get rid of her. He didn't want to offend her.
"I have a lot of activities coming up and I will probably leave the United States next month."
This was regarded as a polite refusal. Avril couldn't hide her disappointment. Cao Xuan couldn't help but rub her head. This girl is short and can rub her head with just a raise of her hand, which is very convenient.
"The mountains are high and the roads are long. If we are destined to meet again next time, we will meet again."
Cao Xuan got in the car and left. When the car left the parking lot, Zhu Jiang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reminded him. Cao Xuan opened the window, stuck his head out and looked back.
Avril shouted to him: "Cao, you must remember me, my name is Avril Lavigne."
"I'll remember it!"
Cao Xuan replied, waved his hand, turned around and sat in the car, and said with emotion to Zhu Jiang and the others: "Let's make a bet, I think this girl will become famous in the future."
Zhu Jiang looked at the smaller and smaller figure in the rearview mirror and replied calmly: "I don't know if he will be popular or not, but I think he is only 18 years old and a person must have a bottom line."
Cao Xuan: "..."
Who are you talking about? He, Cao Daguan, has done nothing!
