As soon as the plane landed, Zheng Qian went to Universal Records non-stop.
After arriving at the place, Wan Feng knew that Zheng Qian had a busy schedule, so he did not say much and immediately introduced the producer and director of the concert to Zheng Qian.
The two parties began to discuss the specific details of the concert rehearsal in the conference room.
This was Zheng Qian's first concert, and the treatment was extremely high. Universal Records spent nearly one million Hong Kong dollars to decorate the concert scene, and the venue was set to be the Hung Hom Coliseum in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's music scene became popular throughout Asia at the end of the last century, and various videos of the Hung Hom Stadium also became popular in various Asian countries.
When mentioning Hung Hom Stadium, many people can immediately think of the stage scene in the stadium.
The Hung Hom Coliseum has a very unique appearance, resembling an inverted pyramid. It is one of the most eye-catching buildings in Hong Kong. Since its opening, hundreds of popular singers have held concerts here.
The entire Hong Kong Coliseum can accommodate 12,500 people. There are no pillars in the venue and the view is wide. It is one of the few large-scale performance venues with the stage in the center and audiences on all four sides.
When the audience is closer to the singers, the stage effect and viewing effect are obviously far superior to other stadiums.
This has also made the Hung Hom Stadium a concert destination that singers yearn for since its opening.
In Hong Kong, if there is no singer who sings in the Hung Hom Stadium, it only means that he is not popular enough.
As for the concert guests, Zheng Qian originally wanted to invite Hua Zai to sit in. After all, it was the first concert in his life, so I was still a little excited and worried. Having a veteran present would make me feel more at ease.
Andy was very happy to hear the news.
However, Zheng Qian still declined. Besides being too busy with work, he still wanted to leave such opportunities to some young people.
Andy knows Zheng Qian's current popularity, and his arrival is just the icing on the cake. Zheng Qian's current popularity does not require Andy to support the show, and the tickets will definitely be sold out.
And Andy himself doesn't need Zheng Qian's current popularity.
You know, in the industry, concert guest spots for popular singers are very valuable.
For example, many singers in the music industry rushed to Hua Tsai's concert. Zheng Qian once sang "Really Love You" live at Hua Tsai's concert.
Because of its subsequent huge influence, the song became an instant hit and once topped the Hong Kong music radio song charts, directly allowing Zheng Qian to gain a firm foothold in the Hong Kong music scene.
Therefore, for many talented young people, this kind of opportunity is a timely help.
Zheng Qian lamented Hua Zai's awakening, and finally decided to follow the example of his predecessors and invited two less famous singers.
One is Hu Liang and the other is Zhang Guoran.
These two were comrades on stage in "Singer".
After the show, Hu Liang was specially recruited into the Comrade Comrades Art Troupe in Beijing. She usually performs at the grassroots level. Due to the different social environment, she rarely meets Zheng Qian again.
Zhang Guoran and Zheng Qian joined the air force together and also participated in "Chinese Idol" together.
It's a pity that it was brushed off halfway.
Now that Zheng Qian has been transferred to the General Administration, he still stays in the Kongzheng Art Troupe, working hard to perform everywhere while looking for opportunities to get ahead.
Recently, due to the National Day, I also went to the grassroots to perform condolences performances with the air force. It was hard work, and for him, a proud man who claims to have returned from Berkeley, he was really unwilling to accept it.
When they received the notice from Universal Music, both Hu Liang and Zhang Guoran were confused. After confirming that it was correct, they were ecstatic, quickly canceled all their schedules, packed their luggage, and flew to Hong Kong.
When I saw Zheng Qian, it was like a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman, and I burst into tears.
With tears in his eyes, Zhang Guoran gave Zheng Qian a big bear hug and shouted excitedly: "Brother Qian, you finally thought of me! Brother, life is so hard!"
Still the same smell!
Zheng Qian patted Zhang Guoran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you have achieved some success in "Chinese Idol", but you haven't signed a contract with Tianhao Shengshi Media?"
"No!"
Zhang Guoran wiped the corner of his eyes and said helplessly: "Originally, we signed an intention contract, and I was very happy at the time, but Tianhao Shengshi knew that I was a cadre of the art troupe like Brother Qian, so there was no news.
, Alas, many contestants have become famous since they came out of "Chinese Idol", but I was lonely in participating. It's so uncomfortable! The gap is too big! Are the cadres of our cultural troupe so discriminated against?"
Zheng Qian comforted him: "Just get used to it."
When Zhang Guoran heard this, he wanted to cry again.
Later, Hu Liang also stepped forward, excitedly wanting to hold Zheng Qian's hand and say something.
But when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
When he arrived, he was told that his mission this time was to be a guest at Zheng Qian's concert, and it was also at the Hung Hom Coliseum in Hong Kong. Hu Liang thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to be true.
She didn't consider the influence that being a guest at Zheng Qian's concert would bring to her.
Just thinking about being able to perform on such a big stage makes me feel so excited that it's hard to describe.
Without Zheng Qian's invitation, it would have been almost impossible for her to stand on the center stage of the Hung Hom Stadium.
She is nearly forty years old, average-looking, and still married. Because she is a grassland herdsman born and raised in the western plateau, Hu Liang is born with very strong lung capacity and a loud high-pitched voice. However, because she cannot bear poverty and hunger, she wants to pursue a better career.
He wanted to live a good life, so he came all the way to Beijing and became a drifter from Beijing.
I have been struggling in the underground music scene for many years. During the worst period, I slept under an overpass with my chest pressed against my back due to hunger, but I never flinched and looked back, gritting my teeth and moving forward.
Finally, hard work pays off.
Being able to get a good name in "Singer" and being specially recruited to join the comrades art troupe is Hu Liang's most satisfactory result. At least her food and clothing have been taken care of, and she can also provide subsidies for her family.
During this period of time, Hu Liang worked hard and accepted all the acting assignments. She couldn't take any time off at all.
In order to get high subsidies and let his family live a better life, his energy was often severely exhausted. Once, just after a performance on the stage, he fainted to the ground due to the hot weather and mental and physical fatigue.
Of course, after the initial busyness, she also had time to relax.
At this moment, she would always pay inexplicable attention to the development of her former comrade Zheng Qian.
This is truly a proud man!
With a voice and singing talent that others envy, as well as strong creative ability, it seems that everything is so natural to achieve today's achievements.
Today's Zheng Qian is no longer what he used to be, and he is also very different from himself.
Seeing his high-spirited appearance on TV, Hu Liang was very envious.
I originally thought that this former comrade would never remember me again.
But he never expected that he would be invited to be a guest at his first concert...
this……
Confused!
Seeing the tears in Hu Liang's eyes, Zheng Qian smiled and picked up the tissue and handed it over: "Sister Liang, don't cry!"
Only then did Hu Liang realize that her eyes were full of tears.
She wiped it off casually with her hands, and then shook hands with Zheng Qian vigorously like a man: "Zheng Qian, thank you! Thank you!"
Zheng Qian smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Guoran also calmed down at this time, put away his playful look, and also solemnly thanked Zheng Qian.
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter, saying nothing.
In the next two days, Zheng Qian began to rehearse the concert project as planned.
Hu Liang and Zhang Guoran also began to take out their respective masterpieces and start practicing. Their attitudes were as serious as soldiers heading to the battlefield. In Zhang Guoran's words, they just couldn't embarrass Brother Qian.
In two hours, Zheng Qian has to sing twenty songs, which is extremely demanding on physical strength and will also strain his voice.
Therefore, during rehearsals, Zheng Qian tried his best to protect his voice and strictly prohibited spicy food, tobacco and alcohol. In the days before the concert, he also began to exercise in an orderly manner to maintain a pretty good body.
It is worth mentioning that among the songs to be performed at the concert, in addition to Zheng Qian's previous masterpieces, there are also two new songs that will be exposed. This is also a huge attraction and attracts the audience's desire to buy tickets.
At the same time, the concert pre-sale situation is becoming increasingly clear.
There are more than 12,000 tickets for the whole event, and most of them have been pre-sold.
Ticket prices are generally between 480 Hong Kong dollars and 680 Hong Kong dollars. The first-class tickets at the front cost 980 Hong Kong dollars. They are priced but not available. They are usually speculated by scalpers and the prices are increased to thousands or even tens of thousands.
Being able to achieve such results during pre-sale, which is better than some Hong Kong singers who have been popular for many years, has proved Zheng Qian's popularity in Hong Kong.
Universal Music Group rented the stadium for a week.
Therefore, after the rehearsal officially begins, Zheng Qian and others, including the backup dancers and the harmony team, need to try their best to master the stage environment within a week.
As for rehearsals, we strive to be as perfect as possible.
After all, no matter how mature the artist is, every rehearsal cannot be perfect. In this case, we can only minimize the mistakes.
Two days before the concert started, Universal Music Group brought two more news.
The first news is that the pre-sale of concert tickets has ended and all tickets have been sold out. There is no need to worry about not being able to get your money back.
The second news is that because the scalper market is too hot and fans have made demands, Universal Music Group plans to continue to hold three solo concerts for Zheng Qian, namely a concert in Bangkok, Thailand, a concert in Shenzhen, China, and a concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
These three concerts must be completed before November.
Originally, Universal Music wanted Zheng Qian to continue holding two concerts at the Hung Hom Stadium, but considering Zheng Qian's physical strength and voice, they gave up.
Among them, Ren Xin played a very important role.
When she learned that the organizer wanted to force Zheng Qian to hold two concerts in a row, Ren Xin was like an angry little lion and went straight to Wan Feng. Her usually gentle face was full of anger, and she argued so hard that she almost slapped the table.
This made Wan Feng very tired, and he himself did not know the situation.
After asking for instructions, I found out that this was just a rough idea that the bosses mentioned casually in the conference room and would not be implemented.
As for whether this is the specific situation, it can only be decided by the beholder and the wise.
But there are some things that a monk can't escape from in a temple.
Although he has avoided the pressure of holding two concerts in a row, Zheng Qian will continue to hold concerts in Bangkok, Shenzhen and Kuala Lumpur in mid-to-late October.
However, although it would feel very tiring, Zheng Qian did not refuse.
Because the appearance fees for each concert are extremely high from Universal Music. The appearance fees for a concert are as high as 3 million, which is comparable to Andy Lau.
And this is just the appearance fee.
In addition, Zheng Qian also participates in the sales of peripheral items, such as posters with Zheng Qian's face, cheer sticks, T-shirts, etc. Zheng Qian can take away 20% of the copyright profit, which is also a big deal.
number.
According to data provided by Universal Music, Zheng Qian can earn nearly 20 million yuan in income from these four concerts.
Of course, this is an ideal situation, and all four concerts must be sold out.
Throughout October, Zheng Qian's schedule was full. While Zheng Qian felt fulfilled, he was also a little tired.
Fortunately, the overseas signing event for the album "I Am the Champion" has been cancelled, and will only be held in Hong Kong and the Mainland. Otherwise, Zheng Qian would definitely be exhausted physically and mentally. Even a tough guy, under such high-intensity work,
It’s too much to bear.
Soon, a week passed.
After the last rehearsal of the Hung Hom concert, at 6:30 pm on October 8, the audience began to line up to check in and check in.
The entire periphery of the stadium was covered with portraits of Zheng Qian, and many people took photos here. Among the audience, Hong Kong fans accounted for about 75%, mainland fans accounted for 25%, and the remaining 5% came from Southeast Asian countries.
At this moment, at the front of the slowly moving team, there was a sudden burst of noise.
"What happened?"
"That's Zhang Xueyou! I actually saw Zhang Xueyou!"
"You read that right? Zhang Xueyou also came to Zheng Qian's concert?"
"That's right, that's absolutely right. Damn, brother, help me get in line. I'll go explore the road ahead!"
At the front of the queue, Cheung Suet-you, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, who is known as the God of Songs, lowered the brim of his hat and took his ticket from the ticket inspector with some annoyance, "I told you not to talk, not to talk, what are you doing?"
,well……"
The ticket inspector's hands were shaking with excitement. She said tremblingly: "Brother Xue You, I didn't say it. I really didn't say it. It was the group of people behind you who saw you showing your face..."
Zhang Xueyou thought about it carefully and it was true. Seeing the crowd suddenly gathering behind him, he quickly said hello to the ticket inspector and pulled his friend into the venue quickly.
The friend smiled and said: "I told you that I know Wan Feng very well. You can enter from the backstage without a ticket. You have to buy the ticket honestly and check it. Now it's okay. It will be big news tomorrow.
Singing god Zhang Xueyou sneaked into Zheng Qian's concert, Zhang Xueyou turned out to be Zheng Qian's fan..."
"Is it embarrassing to be Zheng Qian's fan?"
Zhang Xueyou walked in a hurry. When he heard this, he raised his head and flicked the ticket in his hand: "And you must support the genuine version."
