The next day, the morning of Christmas Eve, was the signing event for souvenirs of the movie "Love in the Rain".

On Christmas Eve, there is no holiday in Japan, including companies and schools.

Therefore, normally, there will not be too many people to start the souvenir autograph sale of the movie "Love in the Rain" on this day.

However, it turned out that from 5 o'clock this morning, the venue for the autograph sales event, which is located in front of Kinokuniya Bookstore in Shinjuku, was already lined up before the bookstore opened.

After the official opening of the Kii National Book House, the long queue of people came directly to the booth of the signature sales event of "Love in the Rain", waiting for the arrival of the protagonist with peace of mind.

As time went on, the queues grew, so much so that it was very rare to see a street full of queues.

I knew it was a queue, but if I didn't know, I thought it was a parade.

It was also because there were so many people in line that the Metropolitan Police Department temporarily sent many police officers to maintain order, and even police from the nearby police station came to help.

Fortunately, most of the people in line are young people, and most of them are of good quality, so although there are many people, they all line up obediently, and there are no bad incidents such as cutting in line and fighting.

waited until nine o'clock in the morning for Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin, the two heroes and heroines, to quietly come to the scene in a white Toyota TownAce nanny car, commonly known as Toyota Xiaobawang.

It was nothing at first, but when Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin got out of the car, there was immediately a cheer at the scene.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Lin was obviously a little frightened, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

But soon, Cao Zhiqiang suddenly held Zhu Lin's hand, and Zhu Lin quickly recovered.

So, Cao Zhiqiang, who was dressed in a high-end tunic suit, held Zhu Lin, who was dressed in a cheongsam, and the two sides held hands, waving and smiling at the fans in line, while slowly following the passage arranged by the staff and the police in advance, and smoothly entered the signature sales point in the bookstore.

Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin held hands and came to the small round platform temporarily set up at the signing site, and just sat behind the table under the guidance of the staff, and were picking up their pens together, ready to start the official start of signing sales.

Suddenly, a girl in the crowd in front of the queue burst into tears and shouted, "Brother Morinaka, I love you!" ”

This time, the scene was completely out of control, many girls who were still wearing school uniforms and looked like students, but they no longer lined up obediently, but rushed out frantically and rushed directly to Cao Zhiqiang.

Fortunately, the police and the staff at the scene stopped in front of them and blocked the emotional and enthusiastic fans.

But obviously, as more and more young people rush out without permission, the thin police wall may not be able to support it for long.

Seeing this scene, Xu Chun quickly came to Cao Zhiqiang's side, stopped in front of him and frowned: "Boss, the situation is wrong, why don't you go through the back door first." ”

Zhu Lin, who was a little flustered, didn't speak, just looked at Cao Zhiqiang, obviously letting Cao Zhiqiang take the idea.

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, quickly took a wireless microphone from the side, then stood up, crossed the signing table, and came to the center of the small round platform.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang took the microphone and smiled at the crazy crowd below, and then said with a relaxed face: "Quiet, quiet, please be quiet!" Otherwise, I'll have to go first, and you won't be able to get my autographed souvenirs with Ms. Zhu Lin! ”

Not to mention, being messed up by Cao Zhiqiang, the scene really gradually quieted down, and no one hit the police wall anymore.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang's words were more effective than a large number of uniformed policemen and the staff in the bookstore.

Seeing that the situation was temporarily stable, Cao Zhiqiang continued: "First of all, thank you very much for your enthusiasm, but no matter how enthusiastic you are, you must follow the rules.

I know that many people come here early in the morning to queue up, and it is inevitable that they feel a little angry.

This is also something that we have not thought through.

If I knew we were so popular, we should have opened the book shop in advance and provided a batch of maza and drinks in advance, so that you wouldn't have to wait outside for so long.

On this cold day, you have been waiting outside for so long, and everyone is angry.

So here, I apologize to everyone in advance! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to bow to the fans in the audience.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang take the initiative to bow and apologize, Zhu Lin also hurriedly ran over, side by side with Cao Zhiqiang, and also bowed to the fans in the audience to apologize.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a microphone in her hand, and she doesn't know Japanese, so she can't understand what Cao Zhiqiang is saying, so she can only use a smile to maintain her demeanor, and then leave everything to Cao Zhiqiang.

After Cao Zhiqiang and Zhu Lin both straightened up, Cao Zhiqiang continued to say to everyone: "That's it, in order to apologize, before the official autograph sales event, I'll sing a song to everyone, okay?" ”

As soon as Cao Zhiqiang said this, the fans at the scene shouted loudly: "Okay! ”

This sound is good, it is called a mountain and a tsunami, and even the people in line behind them also followed the call after understanding what happened.

As a result, this "good" sound continued, like the waves of the sea, wave after wave, from the hall of the book house, gradually spread to the street outside.

Finally, the cheers finally stopped, and Cao Zhiqiang asked people to take a guitar, a barstool, and a microphone support stand.

These things are all necessary, because this autograph sale event originally had a singing session.

It's just that this singing session should have been after the signing event, not at the beginning.

In addition, this autograph sale does not last forever.

According to the original plan, the autograph sale event lasted for two hours and ended after two hours.

But looking at the current scene, two hours is obviously not enough.

Not to mention two hours, it is eight hours, and it is estimated that they will not be able to sign this group of queuing fans.

However, it is impossible for Cao Zhiqiang to really sign here for eight hours in a row, and even if he can do it, he is not happy.

Just kidding, if you sign for two hours in a row, you're already tired enough, and if it's eight hours, your wrist won't be wasted.

But so many people came to wait in line, and if they still signed a contract and left after two hours, it would obviously offend people.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang had a temporary idea and decided to simply change the autograph sale event into a small solo concert.

As long as everyone hears enough songs, after a good time, and then turns around and leaves secretly on the grounds that his throat is uncomfortable, it is estimated that there will be no big problem.

To put it simply, it is to make the fans who come here feel that the queue is worth it, so that they will not have much resistance if they leave after two hours under the pretext of being unwell.

Soon, the guitar, barstool, and microphone support stand were all taken to the stage by the staff.

At the same time, multiple sets of speakers that had been prepared in advance indoors and outside the door were also plugged in with wires.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang's personal singing inside the bookstore, whether it is inside the bookstore or outside the bookstore, his singing voice can be heard.

Originally, he sang in advance, which did not conform to the plan and procedure, but looking at the situation at the scene, no one came out to oppose Cao Zhiqiang's proposal.

In this way, when everything was ready, Cao Zhiqiang wrapped up the plugged guitar, then sat on the high stool, and said into the microphone: "Everyone, since everyone came here this time for the movie "Love in the Rain", then the first song I will present to you is the theme song of this movie, "Rain", I hope you can like it." ”

After saying this, Cao Zhiqiang stopped talking nonsense, lowered his head directly, plucked the guitar lightly, and soon played the prelude of "Rain".

I couldn't speak, so I kept looking frozen.

Survives meekly in front of everyone.

As a result, it was so reckless.

Hold you tight on a rainy night.

……

With the singing, the scene was quiet, only Cao Zhiqiang's sexy and magnetic voice and his virtuoso guitar accompaniment were left.

Not only was the interior of the book house quiet, but even on the street outside the book house, everyone gathered around and quietly listened to the singing from the speakers.

So much so that the crowd gathered more and more, and even blocked a section of the street directly.

For this reason, many drivers who were blocked on the road kept honking their horns, and the police had to send out a group of people to maintain order, and even many policemen began to use walkie-talkies to call the main station, demanding that more police forces be mobilized, especially more traffic police.

Obviously, in the current situation, it is not enough to maintain order by relying on them, and more police must be mobilized.

However, Cao Zhiqiang in the bookstore didn't know about the bustle outside, he only knew that the area around the autograph booth was already densely packed with people, but there were many but not chaotic, and there was no crowding of each other.

Everyone quietly gathered around the stage and quietly listened to Cao Zhiqiang's singing.

When Cao Zhiqiang sang halfway, at least more than half of the audience shed tears.

Even some young policemen, both male and female, were mostly red-eyed, and were obviously moved by Cao Zhiqiang's singing.

Well, this situation is obviously beyond Cao Zhiqiang's expectations, or rather, he ignored the power of his live singing.

In this, I have to talk about the difference between live and off-site, as well as Cao Zhiqiang's voice talent and performance skills.

Originally, listening to a concert live is a different feeling than watching TV or listening to records, especially a concert with a large number of people, which is easy to cause emotional contagion and make the audience more emotional.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang's guitar playing skills have reached the pinnacle, and his voice talent is even more extreme in the world, the kind that occurs once in a thousand years.

Therefore, the pinnacle of guitar performance, coupled with the golden voice that comes once in a thousand years, and the already tactful lyrics of "Rain", so many factors combined, a subtle chemical reaction was produced, causing the audience to be affected by Cao Zhiqiang's singing, and naturally fell into a strange atmosphere.

As the saying goes, singing is a form of expressing emotions.

If the song is upbeat, the listener will be upbeat too.

If the song is sad, the listener will be sad too.

However, the specific aspects of expression vary from person to person.

A great singer can do his best to convey the emotions and thoughts he wants to express to the audience, so that the audience can listen to the song and feel emotional, unconsciously infected by the singing, and stimulate their own relevant memories and feelings.

It's clear that "Rain" is a song with a touch of melancholy.

If you sing by another person, the effect may not be obvious, but let Cao Zhiqiang sing live, and the power will be great.

As a result, at least half of the audience was infected and burst into tears.

And the number of tears will increase over time and emotional contagion, unless you are born without music cells and are naturally insensitive to songs and music.

But then again, the kind of people who are born without music cells and are naturally insensitive to singing and music will not come to line up.

After all, so many people came to line up, and it was obvious that they were not simply rushing to the hero and heroine of the movie "Love in the Rain", but most of them were rushing to Cao Zhiqiang, that is, the popular singer "Forest Green Spring", who has suddenly risen recently.

When Cao Zhiqiang used "Forest Green Spring" as his waistcoat and created one song after another in Japan, he quickly became popular all over Japan.

According to the normal situation, a popular singer like Cao Zhiqiang, who has suddenly risen, should make persistent efforts, take advantage of this hot momentum to hold a concert, and make money hard.

In fact, many institutions, including Warner Pioneer itself, do hope to take advantage of the explosive momentum to arrange a concert for Cao Zhiqiang.

It can be said that as long as Cao Zhiqiang agrees to hold a concert, Warner Pioneer will immediately arrange for the Nippon Budokan to be the venue for the concert.

You know, Nippon Budokan is a holy place for Japanese singers to sing, and being able to hold a solo concert here is a symbol of strength in itself.

The first solo concert was held at Nippon Budokan, at least in the entire Japanese music scene, it is still one of the few.

In other words, with Cao Zhiqiang's current popularity in Japan, as long as he is willing to hold concerts, he can choose all the venues, and he doesn't have to worry about it, all the costs and procedures are covered by Warner Pioneer.

Even the Red and White Song Club proposed whether to give Cao Zhiqiang a special quota, but later due to various factors, it was not granted.

Anyway, Cao Zhiqiang is now the most popular singer in the Japanese music scene, and there is no one.

Many people are looking forward to Cao Zhiqiang's concert, but unfortunately Cao Zhiqiang just won't open it.

Not only does he not hold concerts, but Cao Zhiqiang does not even attend TV programs or even radio programs, and he basically does not show up, which is very low-key and mysterious.

In fact, before the release of the movie "Love in the Rain", many people only heard his voice and didn't know him about the person "Qingquan in the Forest", because when Cao Zhiqiang sang, he never officially appeared as a singer.

Even if Cao Zhiqiang personally starred in a lot of MTVs during the period, there was no clear explanation in those MTVs, and the actor in them was Morinaka Qingquan.

In fact, in the MTV pictures filmed by Cao Zhiqiang before, the male protagonist column used the real name of Cao Zhiqiang, just like in the movie "Love in the Rain", the male protagonist also used the real name of Cao Zhiqiang.

In this way, many people will not associate Cao Zhiqiang with Morinaka Qingquan at all.

It was when the movie "Love in the Rain" was officially released in Japan, in order to promote the movie, Cao Zhiqiang agreed that the theater party would use Senzhong Qingquan as a gimmick to promote Cao Zhiqiang.

With such publicity, everyone suddenly knew that the handsome guy Cao Zhiqiang, who played the male lead in MTV before, turned out to be the mysterious genius singer Morinaka Qingquan, and "Love in the Rain" is also so popular because the male protagonist is Morinaka Qingquan.

Now, Cao Zhiqiang, who has never held a concert, actually sang live in the autograph sales event, which is not exciting enough?

It is also due to the fact that the publicity time is too short and the publicity efforts are not enough.

Otherwise, it won't block a section of the street, I'm afraid the whole street will be blocked by fans.

Cao Sang's charm is so terrifying!

It's just that he himself has never been self-aware.

But after today, I'm afraid Cao Zhiqiang will have to look at his personal influence from the beginning.

Too unaware of one's own charm, but also a kind of ignorance and fearlessness.
