Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Concert
Leslie Cheung has been looking forward to his solo concert for eight years, and finally officially opened on August 2.
On the evening of August 2, many Leslie fans arrived at the Hongqi Stadium with excitement. In order to catch a glimpse of the idol king's demeanor on the stage, they began to enter at around 7:45. Despite the large number of people entering, the order was surprisingly good.
Originally, in the promotional poster, it was claimed that the tickets for the ten concerts had been sold out in the morning. However, some fans still try their luck at the box office to buy tickets, and luckily they get their wish, as there are still a small number of low-denomination tickets on sale. Fans who were lucky enough to buy tickets were immediately overjoyed and cried.
Seeing this situation, Lu Yan and the others didn't feel strange. People who chase stars are often unusually crazy. Especially a charming boy like Leslie Cheung.
Judging from the situation of the fire storm at the scene, it is enough to know the influence of Leslie Cheung in the music scene today. After becoming popular, it was the peak of his career.
As invited guests, Lu Yan, Chow Yun-fat and Dillon all secretly entered the Hongqi Gymnasium. And like many guests, they did not officially reply that Leslie Cheung would be present in person. This kind of behavior is very common in the Hong Kong music scene, and the singer who holds the concert naturally gives the ticket to the other party.
"Yan Zai, these fans are really crazy, they have a fight with Aaron." Chow Yun-fat, who was sitting in the guest seat, had to sigh, and all this could be seen by the screams around him from time to time. You must know that the concert at this time has not started at all!
Lu Yan naturally smiled and nodded, and soon Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam will enter the period of Tan and Zhang's hegemony. During this period, other male singers didn't have the strength to rise at all. Any music award is completely 'divided' by these two kings.
Lu Yan and others in the guest seat were naturally recognized by some fans around them. As a result, there was a lot of movement. However, the light in the Hongqi Gymnasium at this moment is not sufficient, and no one else except the surrounding fans does not know about Lu Yan's arrival.
Amid the sound of whistles and noises, the music finally began at 8:12. In other words, the audience applauded warmly, and the tune of "Love for You" came out, followed by Leslie Cheung's singing. But there is still no sign of him, where did he come from?
It turns out that the design of this stage, a small stage in the middle can be raised and lowered at will, and Leslie Cheung, who is wearing a green suit and checkered pants, slowly rises and appears here.
After singing a short piece of "Love for You", it was exchanged for a strong rhythm of "The First Time". He also sang familiar songs such as "Silently Upstream", "I Do", and "Monica". His performance, of course, received an enthusiastic response from the audience.
Chow Yun-fat and they are up, but Lu Yan is a real fan of Leslie Cheung. The surrounding fans shouted frantically and sang along, and Lu Yan, who was also introduced, began to shout.
At this time, Lu Yan really didn't have the domineering spirit when he was in charge of the guide tube. On the contrary, he is more like a young man chasing stars, bursting with youthful passion.
"It turns out that Yan Zai also has such a side......" Dillon looked at Lu Yan, who was a little crazy, and laughed.
"This is a young man! Looks like I'm old! Chow Yun-fat followed and said with emotion.
After Leslie Cheung sang several songs in a row, he had to have a cold talk with the audience as usual, and at this moment, there was a cheer from the audience "Liang Zai Rong, we support you".
Leslie Cheung may have been moved for a moment after hearing this, his eyes flashed with tears, and tears of excitement flowed, and Li Xiaotian, who had always cared about Leslie Cheung, handed him a handkerchief to the boy. And Leslie Cheung said to Li Xiaotian: "I finally waited for this day!" ”
"If Rong Shao doesn't invite me in the future, I will have to ask for tickets, it's too exciting." Lu Yan, who was relieved, looked at the stage and said to himself.
After some emotion, Leslie Cheung pulled Li Xiaotian as a guest and sang "Blue Melancholy" with him. Maybe Leslie Cheung was too excited, and he used the stage as a track and field track. pulled the old Li Xiaotian and trotted up. Singing while running made Li Xiaotian almost breathless.
As soon as the song ended, Li Xiaotian returned to his seat as conductor. At this time, the music played the tune of "Lost Love", and after Leslie Cheung sang the first bar, Anita Mui appeared. In exchange for the audience's warm applause and whistles, Leslie Cheung returned backstage to change his shirt.
"I knew that Aunt Mei would definitely come to praise Rong Shaochang, and the two of them had a good relationship."
Anita Mui's appearance once again pushed the concert to a **. Leslie Cheung, who was dressed in a white suit and black straight-striped pants, appeared again and sang "Fate" with Anita Mui. After singing this song, Anita Mui left immediately.
However, Anita Mui's aura is not so small, "Brother An" (after the singer sang all the concert songs and left the stage, he returned to the stage to sing a few songs at the request of fans for a curtain call. Most fans shout encore transliterated as encore! The voices were endless, and Anita Mui had no choice but to appear again. When the guests also have "Brother An", it can be seen that Anita Mui has a lot of fans and sisters. Anita Mui appeared again and sang "Like Water". Conducted by Li Xiaotian and accompanied by Leslie Cheung's piano, everyone has seen a lot of Leslie Cheung's singing and dancing, have you ever seen him playing the piano?
Seeing off Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung said that he also had a very good friend. In addition to cooperating with him on stage, he has also co-produced movies, and he is Chen Baiqiang. Just when the audience thought that Chen Baiqiang would be a guest, they didn't want to just Leslie Cheung singing Chen Baiqiang's "Applause". And this song is also the only song that Leslie Cheung does not belong to himself except for singing the songs of the guests, which shows how much he attaches importance to Chen Baiqiang.
In fact, the news about the breakup of the relationship between Leslie Cheung and Chen Baiqiang has been reported, and Lu Yan has seen it several times. For this kind of thing, he just laughs. He doesn't know what Leslie Cheung and Chen Baiqiang are, but he hopes that these two talented singers can be good friends forever.
After singing "Applause", Leslie Cheung sang the strong rhythm of Cai Fenghua's famous song "Love is Not a Game". Just when this melody sounded, Lu Yan and the others suddenly stood up not far away. I saw Cai Fenghua rushing onto the stage with flowers in his hand, which really shocked the fans at the scene.
Cai Fenghua rushed to the stage, hugged Leslie Cheung and said excitedly: "I have never heard someone choose to sing their own songs in other people's concerts, this is the first time, I am very moved, so I want to give you a kiss." ”
He said that the audience was in an uproar, but unfortunately Cai Fenghua did not take official action. may be a hero, a hero, Cai Fenghua sang Leslie Cheung's "Love Cross" for everyone, and after singing, he left the stage in a hurry, and even left the gymnasium.
Just when Lu Yan felt that the concert was about to end, suddenly a headlight hit them. The dazzling white light suddenly made Lu Yan, Chow Yun-fat and Dillon cover their eyes very consciously.
"It's Chow Yun-fat...... Dillon, wow! Even Lu Yan is here......"
"They weren't far from us, and I didn't even notice !!"
Suddenly, the fans screamed.
The craze of "True Colors of Heroes" has not diminished in the slightest. At this time, seeing 'Brother Hao' and 'Brother Xiaoma' again, how can fans still keep their composure.
The guest seat was not far from the stage, and Leslie Cheung looked at Lu Yan and the others for a while. The voice rang out through the microphone at the scene: "In so many years, I have gone from obscurity to today. I've had hardships and setbacks. Of course, I also tasted the joy of success. I want to thank a lot of people, people who have allowed me to grow, people who have always supported me. I can't repay you, I can only repay you with better music and better dance steps. ”
As soon as Leslie Cheung's words fell, a huge cheer sounded again. When the cheers stopped, Leslie Cheung continued to speak: "This year, I made a movie. A significant movie, "The True Colors of Heroes"! Making movies has always been a career that I really enjoy. And filming "The True Color of Heroes" taught me a lot. Thank you, Brother Long, thank you, Brother Fa...... Thanks to Yan Zai! Thank you and the following song for you. The lyrics and music were composed by Yan Zai, and the theme song of "The True Color of Heroes" - "The Love of the Year". ”
"Laughing softly, sending me warmth......"
The familiar melody sounded, and Dillon and Chow Yun-fat seemed to have returned to the time of filming. The audience at the scene seemed to have entered the world of "The True Color of Heroes".
Lu Yan looked at the heroic Leslie Cheung on the stage with a smile, and sighed in his heart.
Leslie Cheung chose "Love of the Year" as the ending song of this concert. When the melody slowly became lighter, Leslie Cheung then walked onto the small stage and slowly descended and disappeared, waving goodbye to the audience from time to time.
But the fans were obviously not ready to let Leslie Cheung go like this, and the sound of "Brother An" sounded again. In exchange for a T-shirt and jeans, Leslie Cheung walked out of the stage again, and he chose "Breaking into a New Field" with a swinging taste. followed by singing his favorite "The Wind Continues to Blow", and this song was also the most devoted and emotional performance he performed all night, and brought the audience's emotions to the top.
returned three times in a row, and Leslie Cheung's first concert finally came to an end.
It is worth mentioning that the design of the stage is movable and refreshing. The main color of the stage is black, and the stage is filled with small light bulbs, which looks sparkling and noble. The stage is also made of marble flooring, which has a sense of falling into the capital. Coupled with the exquisite lighting, it matches the atmosphere of the song very well, and it is admirable.
Leslie Cheung's performance tonight made people feel that he was prepared, and in the two-hour concert, there was no out-of-tune or lack of gas. In addition, his singing skills have gradually matured, which makes his fans fascinated by it. According to Lu Yan, the first night of Leslie Cheung's first solo concert was really audio-visual entertainment. It's a pity that Leslie Cheung only sang for more than two hours, which makes people feel unfinished.
However, for Lu Yan, the feeling of unfinished business can be completely ignored. As long as he wants, Leslie Cheung is very happy to arrange him to be a guest at every concert.
Although the concert is over, it does not mean that the fans are willing to leave. Although out of the Hung Hom Stadium, everyone stayed outside in the hope of getting close to their idols.
In the end, Lu Yan and others spent a lot of time with Leslie Cheung, and finally 'escaped' from the Hung Hom Stadium.
"Yan Zai, Brother Fa, Brother Long, thank you for coming! Let's go for a late-night snack together. "Leslie Cheung was obviously excited just after his first concert, and he must have been singing for so long without mental fatigue.
In addition to the four of them, Li Xiaotian and Anita Mui are also there. After Leslie Cheung introduced everyone to each other, he took everyone to a restaurant he liked very much for supper.
As for Lu Yan, he came to this concert with a purpose. As long as Leslie Cheung agrees, then the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story" will immediately enter the schedule.
