Chapter 127: The First Chinese to Set Foot Here
At night, Gu Biao was dressed in a light dress, holding Xiao Sui, who was wearing a bare-shouldered flowing dress, getting out of the air-conditioned taxi, and then diving into the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center.
It's the busiest part of Upper Manhattan, the heart of New York's fashion arts.
Ma Feng and the three of them only wore shirts, took the subway in advance, and waited on the side of the road. After seeing Gu Biao, he hurried up to meet him and checked the tickets together.
In fact, the Metropolitan Opera is only 3 subway stops away from Gu's hotel and only 5 stops away from Columbia University.
But Xiao Sui had to pay attention to his image and put on a suit in summer clothes, so he could only take a taxi. Otherwise, just a few hundred meters in and out of the station can make people sweat profusely.
It's July.
"You see, Fengzi they wear long-sleeved shirts and ties, and they don't enter the same way. Gu Biao pursed his lips and expressed his dissatisfaction with his wife's appearance association.
Xiao Sui sneered: "We are different! They are $50 backcourt tickets, and we are $200 front-row tickets! We can't lose the face of the Chinese." ”
However, the facts soon proved that Xiao Sui's worries were unnecessary.
Because after entering the venue, all you see are Asian faces, and almost no white people come to listen to the song.
The venue with a full seat of 3,900 people will also sit the audience in the early 3,000s, vacating two percent of the seats. After all, this is not the first time at Lincoln Center, and there are not so many die-hard fans.
Of the 24 seats in the first row of the middle grandstand area, 5 were vacated and no one bought. Gu Biao observed a little, and only found four or five visitors like Wanwan or Xiangjiang, and the rest were all people who came to New York to play.
As for visitors from other continents, they should not exist.
Because there is no network for Baidu celebrities, Gu Biao didn't know why Teresa Teng appeared in the United States before he came, and he couldn't answer his girlfriend's questions.
However, I have to admit that the small traders in New York are very business-minded, and just outside Lincoln Center, there are newsstands that temporarily sell those gossip magazines, which should be recognized by the star chasers. At that time, Xiao Sui was sharp-eyed, regardless of the price of five dollars a piece, he bought it and took a look.
The printing quality of the album is still very good, and it is all high-definition waxed coated paper color printing.
Before waiting for the singing to start, Xiao Sui read it and shared it with her husband:
"It turns out that Teresa Teng withdrew from the music scene last year, it's been almost a year and a half, and we don't know - in January last year, China and the United States officially established diplomatic relations. Many countries that have followed the trend of the United States have once rumored that they may no longer accept the passport words of 'Planting Flowers M Country' in the future.
Teresa Teng was afraid of using a passport with the word 'Wanwan', so she got a fake Indonesian passport so that she could disguise herself as an overseas Chinese in Nanyang if necessary - as soon as it was done, she was discovered when she returned to the book. As a punishment, the foreign affairs department forbade her from issuing all visas to Japan for performing arts and commercial activities for five years.
So she's been unemployed ever since. She was embarrassed, so she went to USC in Los Angeles and enrolled in a two-year refresher course to study abroad to avoid the limelight. She was invited to tour New York two months ago, and will return to Los Angeles at the end of this month to prepare for the start of classes at USC. ”
Xiao Sui, like all girls, is still very interested in chasing stars, but she doesn't feel that she is chattering, so she has to relay the gossip she just saw to her husband.
Gu Biao listened to the secret thought: It seems that Teresa Teng still has a sense of belonging to China and does not want to be called a Wanwan person. It's a pity that her sense of belonging is a MIN country, not a republic.
Having said that, in the 80s, until the time of the regular country, the identity of the Wanwan people was originally the mainstream of the MIN country, and almost no one thought that they were Wanwan people. If someone says what their nationality is, they will be deeply ashamed.
"Later generations of Teresa Teng seem to have become Wanwan's propaganda machine, the 'Queen of Treasure Island Songs', what would happen if she was poached to the mainland, or at least Xiangjiang?
Well, it seems that you can't be impatient, the group of academic musicians in the capital are not easy to pass in the first place, and it seems that there was a later writing of "How to Identify H-Color Songs" in history. It's just that I don't know if it's because the other side first called her the queen of the treasure island song, and here she wrote the negative example of "How to Identify H Color Songs" by name, or if I originally wanted to write it like this.
I heard that after Teresa Teng went to make a comeback and was confused, she was still inclined to accept the mainland's solicitation, but she was stopped by the threat from Wanwan...... Hey, Lao Tzu is here to listen to the concert, why do you think so much, I'm too worried about the country and the people. ”
Gu Biao thought about it, he felt funny, how could he add drama to himself.
He will only be a businessman, a businessman.
In fact, Gu Biao didn't know: CCTV on the mainland, with the relaxation of the situation, later invited Teresa Teng to participate in the 88 Spring Festival Gala, and asked her to sing on stage with Li Gu, trying to use it as an offensive on the propaganda front at that time.
(That year, Chang Jingguo died, and Wanwan's morale plummeted, and by the way, he wantonly encircled influential Wanwan media people.) So far, Chang Jingguo is the most prestigious leader in Wanwan, much more popular than his father. Chang Kaishen will be splashed with paint now, but Chang Jingguo will not. )
It's just that the mainland can only come up with a chance to come to power, but the music copyright situation is very bad, and there is no plan to make a lasting living in the future. Once he came, the copyright interests on the Wanwan side would definitely be blocked, so Deng finally backed down.
However, these have nothing to do with Gu Biao for the time being.
……
"Thank you for your support, and today I bring you a new song that I just wrote. Thank you for being with me through the toughest of times. ”
As a mournful song without fireworks sounded on the stage, Gu Biao's thoughts were pulled back.
The concert has already begun, so concentrate on the song.
"I haven't forgotten that you forgot me, you even said the wrong name...... You said you would come to see me for two days, and you would wait for more than a year, and you didn't have me in your heart at all......"
Of course, Gu Biao is quite familiar with Teresa Teng's songs, and he has basically heard everything recommended by Zhou Jielun.
However, he had never seen a real person. Now at first glance, I am still in a trance.
This is 27-year-old Teresa Teng.
After witnessing it with his own eyes and feeling it up close, a real peace spread out and infected Gu Ao's heart. It's a very different feeling from listening to cloud music.
Because, the close confirmation of the scene can truly appreciate what it means to be "sad but not sad"-
Whether it is this song "What Do You Say" just written before coming to New York, or the old-fashioned "When Will Jun Come Again" sung by Zhou Xuan during the Republic of China. Although they are all "singers/dancers", depicting the story of being disagreed, when they sang from Teresa Teng's voice, there was no resentment at all.
Mourning is mourning, but people mourn their own and don't stab other people's villains.
Maybe this is the meaning of listening to the scene, very subtle and refreshing.
Later generations who have watched the video of Teresa Teng's concert know that she is very easy-going. Especially when singing these songs, I will often walk down and shake hands with the first-class guests in the first row.
Gu Biao could hear it, but he didn't think much about it.
After Deng Lijun held three or four, she walked up to Gu Biao, her expression first smiled slightly, and her subconscious flashed with a slight surprise.
The man in front of him was too young, and at the same time, he was the only one in the first class seat with a young female companion - the others were either men who came to listen alone, or they were already old, and old husbands and wives in their forties and fifties didn't mind.
Xiao Sui's existence made Teresa Teng hesitate, afraid that her handshake interaction would hurt people's feelings.
However, Xiao Sui's heart was bright, and he saw it at once.
She took the initiative to shake it generously first, to show that she was also a true fan, and she was not coerced by her husband to listen to it.
Deng Lijun also let go, and after interacting with Xiao Sui for a few seconds, she shook hands with Gu Biao and bowed her head to greet her.
In the other hand-held microphone, he was singing "The Moon Represents My Heart"
"You ask me how much I love you~ How much I love you~ My love is unswerving~ My love remains the same~ The moon represents my heart......"
And then it passed, and nothing happened.
That is, a high-end opera house with 3,000 people, and a small venue like the New York Metropolis, can be so interactive. If it's a stadium with tens of thousands of people, even for first-class guests, it's a little more reserved.
"Why don't you dare to look at it? Xiao Sui gently poked Gu Ao's waist and eyes.
"Listen quietly. How dare you not look at it. "Gu Biao is not in the trap.
"Do you think you're prettier than me?"
"How can it be, it's not a generation, we are post-60s, she is post-50s, ten years older than me. Gu Biao said softly and solemnly, not wanting to show more desire to survive at all.
He's always been so straight, what do you have to say. And in good conscience, Gu Biao's personal aesthetic style doesn't like girls with round faces.
"I thought I spent $400 and sat in the front row, so why should I find a chance to get into the microphone and sing a word or two. Xiao Sui sighed.
……
One song after another, with a short intermission and interaction in between, for a total of 3 hours, the concert finally came to an end.
Gu Biao can still listen to the philosophy very well, but the other friends don't have this kind of concentration at all, and they don't know how to get out of the Metropolitan Opera House in the end.
"Brother Gu, did Miss Deng shake hands with you just now? It turns out that the difference in treatment in the first row is here. I knew that I would have to sit in the first row for $200 myself, which was the first in the world to sing a Chinese song at Lincoln Center, which was so commemorative. ”
After leaving, standing at the gate of Lincoln Center, Ma Feng was still resentful there. His 17-year-old young heart obviously hasn't realized his future life, so much so that he sighs for not being able to shake hands with the beautiful singer and sister.
Gu Biao patted Ma Feng's shoulder: "Fengzi, follow me, there will be opportunities in the future." It's a big deal to buy your own tickets in Los Angeles and go see it again. ”
"Hmph, if you are as gentlemanly as Brother Gu and have no distractions, I will allow you to hold it! Look at your obscene expression just now. "It turned out that Wen Ying was jealous and pinched Ma Feng fiercely.
Ma Feng bared his teeth in pain: "Hey, hey, hey, why are you like this, you have to learn from Sister Xuesui's virtuous and virtuous virtues, and when Brother Gu shook hands with someone, she also helped resolve the embarrassment!"
