Chapter 596 597 [Return to Xihong City] (Updated for book friend Zhu Haochen 2018)
April 2, the national tour of "To Youth" officially begins.
The first stop of Xiang Nan’s concert will be at the Yanjing Workers’ Gymnasium.
?This gymnasium was built in 1961 and can accommodate a total of 15,000 spectators. It is one of the famous performance venues in Yanjing.
??When the Wham Band came to China to perform, it was held here. In addition, in 1986, the Let the World Be Full of Love concert was also held here.
The stage was set up two days ago, and Xiang Nan even rehearsed it specially.
At seven o''clock in the evening, the concert officially started.
The first song "The One I Was", as soon as the guitar sounded, the audience started to get excited.
"Nothing can stop you from your yearning for freedom..." Xiang Nan just started to sing, and the audience started singing along. The stage and the audience sang together, and the atmosphere at the scene can be said to be excellent.
"Well, you paid money to listen to me sing." After singing, Xiang Nan reminded with a smile, "But you sang backwards. This is karaoke. You spent hundreds of yuan to sit here. , I will have to buy throat medicine later. I feel sorry for you."
Hearing what he said, the audience laughed.
In fact, the charm of a concert is not to listen to what the singer sings. No matter how good you sing at a concert, it''s not as clear as listening to records at home. When people watch a concert, the most important thing is interaction.
The so-called folk art that is familiar with opera and is never tired of listening to it. When listening to opera, just listen to something you are familiar with and can sing. The actors on the stage sing, and the people off the stage hum. This is what makes it interesting.
The same goes for listening to concerts. The more familiar the song, the more interesting it is to listen to. It''s best if the whole audience sings loudly, then the atmosphere will be the best.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan''s songs are widely sung.
"Once upon a time", "Your Answer", "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves", "Longing", "With You in My Life", "Born Like a Summer Flower"... one classic song after another, the choruses of the huge gymnasium were heard one after another. , there is almost no quiet time.
…
The Najie, Wang Fei, Pu Shu, Ye Xun, Gao Xiaosong, Song Bing and others sitting in the audience couldn''t help but be a little shocked when they saw such a scene.
They have held a lot of concerts and listened to a lot of them. But such a hot scene is really rare. In their impression, only those singers who have been famous for many years and have always been popular can have such a scene when they hold concerts.
?For example, Michael Jackson, Alan Tam, Xu Xiaofeng, Leslie Cheung, Deng Lijun, Feng Feifei, etc. And Xiang Nanke has only made his debut three years ago, and he has such momentum. It must be said that it is both strength and luck.
Not to mention Xiang Nan’s ability, his lyrics and music composition are truly unmatched. Since his debut, he has written more than a hundred songs, and his output is really amazing.
Fortunately, in the late 1990s and early 21st century, there were singers in the mainland music scene, but there were no idols.
Of course there are handsome guys, like Mao Wan, Jiang Tao, Cai Guoqing, Xie Xiaodong, etc. are all handsome. But they don''t follow the idol route, and the publicity and hype are not in place. They mostly appear at parties.
As for singers such as Young Beauty and Chu Qi Chu Tong, although they are preparing to take the idol route, they are not strong enough. In terms of popularity, it is not as good as party singers like Mao Huan and Jiang Tao.
So Xiang Nan has both strength and hype, so he suddenly filled the gap and became everyone''s favorite idol, monopolizing the market in one fell swoop.
That’s why there are so many fans supporting the concert, and the atmosphere at the venue is so good.
…
After the first performance was a complete success, Xiang Nan performed the second and third performances one after another. Everywhere he went, the seats were packed and the show was extremely popular.
Hateful that performers from all over the world want to slap themselves in the face. If I had known it was so popular, I should have booked more shows. This way you can make a lot more money. Unlike now, it''s really annoying to watch a lot of money disappear from your hands.
Song Bing, the owner of Maimiao Records, is equally upset.
??He helped Xiang Nan hold a concert this time, but he never expected it to be so popular, so when discussing cooperation with the performer, he kept a very low profile and did not dare to ask for a high price. The fee for each concert is only 550,000, which is really low.
You know, a popular singer like Xiang Nan can get an appearance fee of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan just by singing two songs at a store. It’s not unusual for a concert to cost a million to sing twenty or thirty songs.?????Now he regrets that he had less. If I had known it was so popular, I should have asked for 1 million or 1.2 million per game. By then, Maimiao Records will be able to earn millions more.
So, it is difficult to buy regret medicine if you have money.
However, it is not too late to make amends.
?Now, Song Bing is starting to think about Xiang Nan''s second nationwide tour.
…
The last stop of Xiang Nan’s tour was set in Xihong City.
This is also the first time Xiang Nan has returned here after two years.
Before this, he never went home even during the Chinese New Year.
Coming back again, he first went back to school to visit the teacher and principal.
“Principal, Teacher Wang, long time no see~” he said with a smile.
“Yes, welcome back to your alma mater, classmate Yuan Hua. I knew you would be successful.” The principal smiled.
“I have the same idea as the principal, and we have similar views on heroes. Classmate Yuan Hua, I was also sure that you would succeed. Now it is indeed the case.” Teacher Wang also said with a smile.
"Yes, what I am today is inseparable from the nurturing of my alma mater and the hard work of the principal and teachers." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I donated these two hundred thousand to the school to replace desks and chairs. "
“Oh, thank you, thank you.” When the principal saw it, his eyes lit up and he quickly took it.
?Teacher Wang was so greedy when he saw it.
“In addition, here are ten tickets, which I managed to keep. Principal, you are welcome to bring the teachers here for guidance.” Xiang Nan smiled again.
"Oh, it''s not easy to buy these tickets. They were sold out on the first day they were released. I heard that scalpers sold the tickets for four to five hundred." The principal said happily, "Don''t worry, student Yuan Hua, I will definitely bring you the tickets when the time comes." The teachers cheered.”
"By the way, Teacher Wang, I haven''t been back for two years, and I haven''t attended any gatherings of my classmates. I wonder how my classmates are doing?" Xiang Nan asked again with concern.
"We have more than thirty classmates, and now you are the most promising." Teacher Wang said with a smile, "Other outstanding ones, like Zhang Yang, are now running a business with his father, selling furniture and home appliances, and the business is booming; Meng Te is also I didn’t take the exam, and now I’m running a karaoke bar; I didn’t take the exam in Dachun, and now I’m selling vegetables in the market with my mother…”
He introduced them one by one.
Xiang Nan nodded and asked casually, "Teacher Wang, how is Charlotte doing now?"
“Charlotte?! It’s that idiot, he’s still in jail now, has he been released?!” Teacher Wang said nonchalantly, “Hey, I thought this kid had no future.”
“What about Ma Dongmei?” Xiang Nan asked again.
"That''s not clear. She was a sports student back then, but she didn''t go to the admissions school. I don''t know what she is doing now. I haven''t heard from her for a long time." Teacher Wang shook his head.
Xiang Nan nodded.
Having the opportunity, he would like to find Xia Luo and Ma Dongmei.
Come here, after all, we are classmates. What''s more, time has passed and the previous conflicts have basically passed.
Secondly, in the movie, although Charlotte stole Qiu Ya, he didn''t do everything right. Later, he still gave Yuan Hua money and made him the editor-in-chief of the magazine.
?From this point alone, he should give Charlotte a hand.
