Chapter 69 Return to Beijing to collect music and create a god-level record!

July 15, 8pm.

After several days of rehearsals, Jiang Xiaofeng held a small "Jiang Xiaofeng 903 id club concert" at the Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai and the commercial radio station 903.

Since it was a ticketed concert, not all of the 3,600 seats were occupied. Only 3,256 fans were seated. However, those who came were all Jiang Xiaofeng’s loyal fans, not the ones who paid for their own money. One ticket cost an average of 240 yuan.

Hong Kong dollar.

For a newcomer to the music scene like Jiang Xiaofeng who has only debuted in Hong Kong for more than a month, he was able to sell 3,256 tickets for his first live ticket sale, so his monetization ability is definitely excellent.

The reason why Chen Jiaying held this live was on the one hand to test Jiang Xiaofeng's ticket selling ability and to hone his on-site ability. On the other hand, it was also to prepare Jiang Xiaofeng for his future appearance at the Hung Hom Stadium.

As we all know, there are many standards for testing a singer's singing skills, but LIVE is the most important and difficult part to measure a singer's level.

LIVE, also known as "La Kuo" in Cantonese, is a live concert. LIVE is different from recording. The singing environment and conditions in the recording studio are first-class. If you don't sing well, you can find problems in time, re-record countless times, and then modify the sound in the later stage.

Match it with the MV and make it into an album, making a song flawless.

But in LIVE, you will face various difficulties and situations: the audience is noisy, forgetting words, breaking the sound, being out of tune, being silent, etc.

When many audiences listen to some singers' concerts, they will feel that there is a huge difference between the person's live performance and the recording. They feel deceived and want to refund their tickets in anger.

After a concert, the singer cannot stop singing and dancing to 20 or 30 songs, and must be steady and good, so LIVE is definitely the best way to show a singer's true level and hard power.

At the previous "Rock Chinese Music Power" concert held at the Hung Hom Stadium, Chen Jiaying had already seen Jiang Xiaofeng's singing on stage. Although there were still many flaws and shortcomings, she was still very impressed by Jiang Xiaofeng's live singing.

Confident.

And Jiang Xiaofeng did not disappoint Chen Jiaying. As soon as the show started, she hugged her guitar and collaborated with the band on a fast rock song - "Living VIVA", which caused the fans at the scene to scream.

"You are so young that you can be as crisp as a wafer when you touch anyone.

Being happy for half a day is like living a million years

Everything can be as refreshing as youth

Happy to be one year older every day

…”

The song "VIVA" has such power that it makes people just want to dance and shout, and all the excitement in their body overflows into the air.

Seeing the charming Jiang Xiaofeng on the stage, mingling with the crazy fans dancing with him, Chen Jiaying, who was sitting in the stands, showed a happy smile.

Liang Rongjun also sighed with emotion: "Fengzi is a born superstar, born for the stage!"

Chen Jiaying smiled and nodded: "Yeah, I didn't expect him to be so good. Not only can he create, but his stage performance is also very cool."

Liang Rongjun took advantage of the situation and said: "Hurry up and let him release another Cantonese record. Let him create his own music. I will just be his producer. I don't care about the rest. Let him express himself freely."

"Now that his momentum is so strong, we must strike while the iron is hot, otherwise it will be easy to delay his development."

Chen Jiaying smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I told him, and he said he wanted to make a Mandarin album. This kid has a big appetite. His eyes are not just on Xiangjiang, but on the entire Chinese music scene."

In this regard, Liang Rongjun has a different view, saying frankly: "I have listened to all of his Mandarin songs, and they are indeed good, but I personally think that none of the Mandarin songs can compare with his Cantonese song "Next Year Today"

compared to."

"He has such a good talent for composing Cantonese songs. If he doesn't write more Cantonese songs while he is still young, it will really be a loss for our Hong Kong music scene."

Facing Liang Rongjun's regret, Chen Jiaying just smiled, nodded, and said nothing more.

At this LaKuo concert, Jiang Xiaofeng not only sang several Cantonese songs from the album "Listening to Maple", but also sang "Blue Lotus", "I Will Have You in My Life", "I Believe" and other Mandarin songs.

.

Originally, Jiang Xiaofeng thought that his singing of Mandarin songs might not resonate with the local Xiangjiang fans. However, in fact, most of the people here tonight are his loyal fans. Not only do they often listen to his Cantonese songs, but even his Mandarin songs are very popular.

familiar.

Therefore, the atmosphere of Jiang Xiaofeng's concert has always been very lively, and several songs triggered a chorus at the scene.

Jiang Xiaofeng is very different from Huang Jiaju of Beyond band.

When Ka Kui was alive, he once said bluntly to the audience during a concert: "I hope you don't sing along with me, just listen quietly. I don't want us to be karaoke machines."

Indeed, the audience singing along in the audience will increase the noise, which may make the singers on the stage unable to hear the band and their own voices and go out of tune.

But Jiang Xiaofeng likes to let the audience sing a chorus the most, and even hands the microphone to the singer in the front row. You can see that he interacts with the audience several times.

Jiang Xiaofeng also gave special thanks to his manager Chen Jiaying, the producer of the album "Listening to Maple" Liang Rongjun, and his fellow countryman Wang Fei at this concert.

Although Wang Fei did not come to support her due to work reasons, Jiang Xiaofeng still expressed her gratitude to Wang Fei in front of more than 3,000 fans.

Happy time is always short, and before you knew it, Jiang Xiaofeng's "Jiang Xiaofeng 903 ID Club Expansion Concert" came to the last song.

Since Jiang Xiaofeng opened the concert with the powerful song "Living VIVA", the song that can echo the beginning and end of this song and be equally matched is naturally the hit song that resounds throughout the city - "

"Today Next Year".

In fact, the song that all the fans at the scene wanted to hear the most was the song "Next Year Today" that made Jiang Xiaofeng famous in Hong Kong.

"If this chandelier pours down, or I will no longer exist, even if you don't love me, there is no need to separate..."

When the fans at the scene heard Jiang Xiaofeng's soulful and low-pitched singing of the song "Next Year Today", the audience burst into thunderous applause and screams that shook the sky above the gym, creating an extremely heated atmosphere.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng's singing was not disrupted by the screams of the fans, and he still devoted himself wholeheartedly to the performance of the song "Next Year Today".

"I can meet you in the moment of my life.

Spent all my luck

Only found out today

Breathed the air."

After singing the last line of the song "Today Next Year", Jiang Xiaofeng bowed to the fans and friends in the audience amid cheers and shouts, thanking them for their support and encouragement.

"Encore!"

"Encore!"

"..."

At first, there were only one or two people at the scene shouting the word "encore". Gradually, other people were also mobilized, and more and more people joined the ranks.

In the end, the voices of at least 3,000 people gradually turned into a wave that swept through the entire Elizabeth Stadium.

It is worth mentioning that Encore is a Chinese word, which is the transliteration of "Encore". The noun means a request to sing again.

When the last song is played, everyone will shout "Encore, Encore" together, which means returning to the performance to sing again at the request of the fans after the performance.

Jiang Xiaofeng held his first concert, and so many fans shouted "encore", which showed that everyone was reluctant to leave and wanted to hear him continue singing, which shows the success of this concert.

Faced with the enthusiasm and love of the fans at the scene, Jiang Xiaofeng was also very moved. Without much hesitation, he continued to sing his favorite Mandarin song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" to give back to the loyal fans at the scene.

“This Mandarin song is good, it’s my first time listening to it!”

“It’s so fun to listen to tonight!”

"Fengzi is really such a doting fan!"

“Nothing to say, it’s worth the price of admission!”

"..."

Obviously, Jiang Xiaofeng's encore performance won unanimous praise from the fans at the scene. It was also from this concert that Jiang Xiaofeng gained a group of loyal fans in the Hong Kong music scene.

After the concert, both Chen Jiaying and Liang Rongjun gave Jiang Xiaofeng a thumbs up and praised his performance tonight.

Seeing how happy everyone was, Jiang Xiaofeng also took the opportunity to ask for leave from Chen Jiaying: "Sister Katie, I want to ask for leave from you."

Looking at Jiang Xiaofeng with a smile on his face, Chen Jiaying suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and then she asked with a smile: "Okay, Fengzi, how many days do you want to treat?"

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a while and said, "I want to ask you for a month's leave."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Chen Jiaying's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief: "Take a month? Are you kidding me? Why are you taking such a long vacation? What are you going to do?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said calmly: "I want to go back to Yanjing."

"Even if you go back to Yanjing, it won't take you a month. Why are you going back? Are you going back to accompany your girlfriend?"

Chen Jiaying also knew that Jiang Xiaofeng had a girlfriend.

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded: "Almost, but not entirely."

Before Chen Jiaying could get angry, Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly changed the subject: "Sister Katie, I feel like I can't find inspiration in Xiangjiang. I want to go back to Yanjing to collect inspiration."

"Sister Katie, you may not know that when I was in Yanjing, I was often very inspired. The Cantonese song "Next Year Today" was written by me when I was in Yanjing."

"Actually, most of my original songs were written in Yanjing. I want to see if I can write more good songs when I go back this time."

Chen Jiaying can understand that creators need inspiration, but taking a month off to find inspiration is really too long and will affect his subsequent work arrangements.

However, seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng's words were sincere and did not look like lies, Chen Jiaying also hoped that he could write more good songs when he went back this time.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Jiaying finally said: "Fengzi, one month is definitely not enough. I'll give you half a month. After half a month, I want to see you and appear in front of me. Otherwise, I will deduct your money!"

"

Jiang Xiaofeng was secretly happy, but pretended to be reluctant and sighed: "Okay, half a month is just half a month. I know Sister Katie, I will be back on time."

However, what Chen Jiaying didn't know was that Jiang Xiaofeng didn't want to ask for a month's leave at first, because he also felt that a one-month vacation was too outrageous, but if he directly asked Chen Jiaying for half a month's leave, then she might not

Yes, that's why Jiang Xiaofeng deliberately told her that he wanted to take a month's leave. Sure enough, Chen Jiaying did not agree to one month, but was willing to let him take half a month's leave.

By the way, Jiang Xiaofeng learned this trick from Mr. Lu Xun.

As we all know, Mr. Lu Xun had a "window theory". He said that Chinese people like to make compromises. If you think the room is too dark and you need to open a window, no one will allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come.

Reconciled and willing to open the window.

With the permission of her agent Chen Jiaying, Jiang Xiaofeng set off back to the mainland three days later.

That night.

Yanjing, Houzhai Hutong.

Jiang Xiaofeng saw Taohong, whom he had not seen for a long time, and hugged her tightly.

At this time, the Chinese opera was on summer vacation, and Taohong, who was idle and bored, missed Jiang Xiaofeng more and more intensely. She had been looking forward to Jiang Xiaofeng day and night, and she finally wanted Jiang Xiaofeng back.

And Jiang Xiaofeng's longing for Taohong was also growing day by day. After seeing Taohong this time, he barely got her out of bed for a whole night.

It's almost dawn.

Jiang Xiaofeng lay on the bed tiredly, ready to have a good sleep.

Taohong snuggled into Jiang Xiaofeng's arms and asked softly: "How many days will it take you to come back this time?"

Jiang Xiaofeng closed his eyes and replied feebly: "Half a month, fifteen days."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Taohong asked in surprise: "Why did it take so long this time?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said seriously: "I told Sister Jiaying that I miss you so much. I want to spend more time to come back to accompany you. I must come back, otherwise I will quit!"

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's seriousness, Taohong was moved and worried at the same time, and asked, "Isn't it right? Did you really tell her that? She wasn't angry with you, was she?"

Jiang Xiaofeng said solemnly, "I am definitely angry when I am angry, but I don't care. I usually work so hard, can't she give me a few more days off and let me come back to accompany you?"

Although Taohong also missed Jiang Xiaofeng very much, she was still relatively rational. She felt that Jiang Xiaofeng's career was more important, so she persuaded him: "It doesn't matter. As long as you can come back, I will be very happy. It will be fine for a few days."

Jiang Xiaofeng's thoughts are actually similar to Taohong's, but he also believes that people should not only know how to work, but also know how to enjoy life and taste life. In Jiang Xiaofeng's view, life is far more important than singing.

As they talked like this, Jiang Xiaofeng felt sleepy coming over him, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting more and more fiercely, so he hugged Taohong in his arms and slowly fell asleep.

Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing for half a month this time. In addition to having a tryst with Taohong and reminiscing with friends such as Lao Lang, he also wanted to take a good rest.

Of course, when Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Yanjing this time, he did not forget his mission. Although he did not need to rely on collecting music to find so-called inspiration, he was secretly determined to create a god-level Mandarin album that could shock the entire Chinese music scene.
