792 [Farewell Concert 1]
On June 28, 1991, Wang Zijun's private gymnasium, Taipei Xinyi Sports Institute, was officially completed and put into use.
Because the shape of the stadium resembles the Tokyo Arena built two years ago, Wang Zijun's Taipei Xinyi Arena was nicknamed Taipei Arena and Wang's Arena by some media before it was completed.
As the name suggests, Wang Zijun's Xinyi Gymnasium was built in Xinyi District. Unlike the location of the Taipei Arena in parallel space, the Wang's Arena is located next to the Wang's [***] Building, which is where the future Grand Hyatt Taipei is located.
Wang Zijun bought this piece of land ten years ago, and when filming "Holy War", Wang Zijun took out NT$4 billion, which took nearly two years to build. There is no business district here, and it was only last year that it was separated from Songshan District and divided into Xinyi District, and under the deliberate development of the authorities, after ten years, the land alone will be enough for many people to eat for several lifetimes.
The entire stadium is divided into the main hall and the auxiliary hall with five floors up and two underground floors, and has 26,000 seats, which is 11,000 more than the small arena in the parallel space. In addition to concerts, the stadium also hosts a variety of sports competitions, including ice skating competitions, as the stadium is equipped with an all-court icing system.
In addition, there are cafes, parking lots, and shopping streets in the gymnasium, and some of the gymnasium areas are open to the public, providing a variety of entertainment and sports services.
"Crackling, crackling......"
When Wang Zijun went down with scissors, in the sound of 10,000 firecrackers, the red cloth fell on the wall of the stadium, revealing the five big characters of Xinyi Gymnasium, and Wang's Arena officially began to operate.
At the ribbon-cutting scene, the spotlights flashed, and the visitors flocked into the gymnasium. And some of the businesses in the stadium that have already settled in have started business at the same time.

The newspapers began to report overwhelmingly, but in the end they all focused on Wang Zijun's farewell concert.
Whether it is an actor, a singer, or a director, it is a very hard thing, and many artists have begun to retire after ten years of perseverance. Wang Zijun has all three, and also writes, makes games, draws comics, and starts a company, which has been insisted on for 20 years, and many newspapers have called Wang Zijun an alien and a superman.
Now, Wang Zijun is finally retiring.
A person who is less than 40 years old retires, and while regretting nostalgia, there are many people who feel that this is normal.
All over the world, all of Wang Zijun's previous works, comics, film tapes, and records have been moved to the counter again. Under a series of nostalgic and commemorative publicity, it is selling at an astonishing rate.
In July, it's eagerly awaited.
20 years ago, a teenager sang his "Childhood" into the public eye, and 20 years later, he stood in his private gym, singing those familiar songs to say goodbye.
Before Wang Zijun's farewell concert began, various commemorative articles had appeared in various newspapers and magazines, and Wang Zijun's various fan groups held their own commemorative activities.
The last two TV scripts created by Wang Zijun have been filmed, and the Hong Kong nostalgic drama "Difficult Brothers" and the Taiwanese urban comedy "A Fairy Wife" have been broadcast successively, which immediately caused a ratings frenzy. Several heroes and heroines in the two TV series have become popular, and their values are rolling up.
And the "Heroes" on "Gongxin Daily" is also about to be serialized, and countless martial arts fans have seen crying, laughing and scolding. The three protagonists of Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu" have been breathtaking, and the four protagonists of "Heroes" were called a stroke of genius by his friend Gu Long, and the ups and downs of the plot are emotional, but the more tragic they are, countless readers even sent a letter to "Gongxin Daily" to ask Wang Zijun to revise the tragic plot.
Nintendo launched the game "The King of Fighters" in May, and the signature of the game's chief planner was Wang Zijun. This version of "The King of Fighters" has a similar plot to "KOF", but there are two more teams of pure Chinese combinations. The members of one of the teams are Tang Long and Jack? Chen and Cheng Fangtian, the prototypes are Bruce Lee, Cheng Long and Sammo Hung, and the other team is the Three Heroines of the East, and the prototypes are naturally Li Zhi, Yang Ziqiong and Ira? Claudia three.
As soon as "The King of Fighters" was launched on the market, it immediately detonated the enthusiasm of game lovers. Especially in the book, because the background of the story is also in the book, some people who were dissatisfied with Wang Zijun because of his filming of "Holy War" are now highly respectful of Wang Zijun. Whether it is Asia, Europe or the United States, there has been a wave of King of Fighters fever, and if a video game city or game hall does not have "The King of Fighters", it is embarrassed to open for business.
"In the last half year of Wang Zijun's retirement, a song record, two TV scripts, a martial arts, a game planner, and I heard that two movies written by Wang Zijun are being filmed at the same time...... It was like a big explosion before the star fell, scattering an incomparably bright and dazzling light in an instant. Wang Zijun also seemed to want to unleash all his talents before retiring...... Wang Zijun's last film, "Holy War," failed to meet expectations at the box office, and Wong's film company lost $12 million in investment. Although this movie has not yet been released in some regions, it seems that "Holy War" will most likely not return to its original capital. Some people say that it was the filming of "Holy War" that made Wang Zijun want to retire, because he found that his talent had dried up, so he retired early...... Now, those who have this saying can shut up. Wang Zijun's works in the past six months or so not only do not show any signs of Jiang Lang's talents, but seem to be full of talent and thinking about a price reduction sale. If you are someone else, you can come up with one of his works in a year, and you can become famous and show your face, but Wang Zijun took it all out like Doraemon in his pocket, God knows how he did it?
Other singers want to retire, and before leaving, they are all ten years of record selection. But Wang Zijun's twenty-year record selection can't be done, because those songs are known as classics, and it's a pity to leave any of them...... With these alone, he deserves to be the 'Jun Ye'. β
ββExcerpt from the commemorative feature "20 Years of Jun Ye" by Next Magazine
β¦β¦β¦β¦ In front of the Wang's Arena Stadium, the people queuing up to buy tickets formed a winding and rugged long line, and the people in front of the queue were all in positions where they stayed up late with benches and quilts. This is cheaper than the restaurants and shops that opened in the stadium, and the sales have increased hundredfold.
Even if one person is limited to 3 concert tickets, nearly 30,000 tickets are still sold out quickly, and there are even some fans who flew over from Europe and the United States.
"Taipei Arena, VIP tickets for Jun Ye's farewell concert, starting at 10,000 yuan! There are only three, and the one with the highest price wins! β
"There are also two tickets for the upper grandstand area, 800 each, love it or not!"
"1200 is still expensive? It depends on your students to sell you 1200, and others will ask for at least 1500. What the? It's not 1200 yuan, then you watch a fart concert! β
ββ¦β¦β
Outside the arena of the Little Dome, scalpers are very arrogant and peddled, and those fans who didn't buy tickets are so angry that a few of them will report a warning to the scalpers.
Du Kebang hurriedly came with his wife and son, he was the president of Wang Zijun's Taipei Singers Association. Back then, he and his wife Yuan Ying were die-hard fans of Wang Zijun, and now their sons are 15 years old, and the couple is nearly half a hundred years old.
Taiwan's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, the manufacturing and processing industry is extremely prosperous, and Duke Bang is now also a large factory owner, and he went to the mainland to open two factories last year.
The family is now anxiously wandering outside the stadium because they have not bought tickets for the concert. Suddenly, he heard a scalper selling ghost soldier tickets shouting, and Duke Bang immediately beckoned to a ticket seller: "VIP tickets, I want all three VIP tickets!" β
"Well, man, I want it first." A middle-aged man with a big back and a suit and leather shoes looked like a boss took out a large sum of money.
"I'll give you all in one case!" Duke Bond also began to pay for it.
"I'll give you 15,000!" The big back boss said without showing weakness.
Duke Bang was bound to win, and sneered: "Twenty thousand!" β
"Thirty thousand!" Big Back smiled.
"Fifty thousand!" Duke Bond quoted the high price directly.
The bidding of the two middle-aged fans of Wang Zijun immediately attracted the attention of the people around them. When he heard that a scalper ticket was sold for 50,000 tickets, not only the onlookers, but even the ticket seller himself was stunned.
Da Beitou was thinking about whether to increase the price, when suddenly a shout came from the crowd: "The strip is here!" β
The scalper who sold VIP tickets was taken aback, turned his head and saw the police rushing towards him, so frightened that he ran away.
Du Kebang hurriedly chased after him, stuffed tens of thousands of NT$ in his hand into the ticket seller's hand, pulled the ticket seller's sleeve and said, "Give me the ticket quickly!" Otherwise, catch you and send it to the police! β
The ticket dealer didn't have time to count the money, so he quickly stuffed the concert tickets into Duke Bon's hand, and the two of them ran away separately, as if they had just finished a drug deal.
A few minutes later, the family converged in the car, and Duke Bang panted and said, "Bought it, bought it!" VIP tickets for Jun Ye's farewell concert ......"
As he spoke, this big boss, who was almost 50 years old, actually had moist eyes and looked like he was about to cry.
Du Kebang's son Xiao Du said speechlessly: "Dad, is there any mistake, you are crazier than me in chasing stars." β
Duke Bond said, "What do you kid know? If it weren't for Jun Ye's song, your mother and I wouldn't know each other. I don't know your mother, and you kid doesn't know where you are. β
