Chapter 80: Conquer the Coliseum and return to Beijing to collect music for the new album!

Because he has already prepared to hold five solo concerts at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong, Jiang Xiaofeng also spent half a month practicing singing and rehearsing before the concert.

Jiang Xiaofeng is holding a concert this time, and Chen Jiaying is also personally attending. She always arrives at the venue very early and sits there all day, paying close attention to every detail.

As for the sales of concert tickets, Chen Jiaying doesn't have to worry at all. As early as the first day of sales, the tickets for Jiang Xiaofeng's five concerts were swept away by his crazy fans.

Compared with the last time when he formed a group with Dou Wei, He Yong, Zhang Chu, Tang Dynasty Band and others to hold a concert in Hung Hom Stadium, Jiang Xiaofeng held a concert in Hung Hom this time, which is of great significance.

Because this was a concert held by Jiang Xiaofeng at the Hung Hom Stadium on his own, not only did he not get a single free ticket, fans who had not bought tickets were crying and clamoring for the organizer to add another concert.

However, due to the schedule of the concert venue, it was impossible to temporarily extend the concert. Chen Jiaying and Jiang Xiaofeng were helpless and could only hold five shows temporarily.

By the way, since the 1980s, singers in the Chinese music scene have reached a consensus that one of the signs that a singer has truly reached the peak of his career is to have a solo singing session at the Hung Hom Stadium.

It can be said that the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong has witnessed the ups and downs of countless top singers over the years.

Alan Tam, Leslie Cheung, Tsui Siu-fung, Anita Mui, and the Four Heavenly Kings, they often hold a few, or twenty or thirty concerts at the Coliseum.

In the 1990s, if you asked "Which star is the most popular?", you didn't need to watch fans arguing, you could just count the number of times the concert was performed in the arena!

The Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong is obviously the hard standard for measuring a singer's comprehensive strength in this era.

If a singer fails to perform at the Hung Hom Stadium, then he (she) cannot be considered a top singer who is popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.

In the same way, if you only hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium in Hong Kong and have not held ticketed concerts for thousands of people in mainland China and Taiwan, you cannot be considered a top singer who is popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places.

In the memory of Jiang Xiaofeng's previous life, there are only four mainland singers who have held concerts at the Hung Hom Stadium, namely Naying in 2001, Daolang in 2012, Zhou Bichang in 2015, and Li Ronghao in 2017.

One can imagine how difficult it is for mainland singers to break into the Hong Kong market and perform at the Hung Hom Stadium.

February 14th is Valentine’s Day in the West.

That night, Jiang Xiaofeng opened the door to the Hung Hom Stadium and became the first mainland singer to hold a concert at the Hung Hom Stadium.

Although the media now likes to position Wang Fei and Jiang Xiaofeng as Hong Kong singers, in Jiang Xiaofeng's heart, he is always a mainland singer, not a local singer in Hong Kong.

"Fengzi!"

"Fengzi!"

"..."

Accompanied by the neat and shocking shouts of tens of thousands of fans, Jiang Xiaofeng, dressed in a long black coat, slowly appeared below the stage, stunning the audience.

Without further ado, Jiang Xiaofeng put on his guitar and opened the concert with a fast-paced and powerful song "Alive Viva", which directly rocked the audience.

Throughout the concert, Jiang Xiaofeng continued to play golden songs, which led to choruses from the audience many times. Since the venue was packed, the atmosphere was even more exciting.

In addition to Chen Jiaying, Liang Rongjun and others, many celebrities also came to the scene, such as Chen Huilin, Wu Yongwei and others.

Wang Fei, Andy Lau, Zhou Huimin and others did not come, mainly because they had to appear as guests in the next few shows and needed to maintain a sense of mystery.

Since there has only been one Cantonese album with only 10 Cantonese songs in total, Jiang Xiaofeng’s first concert at the Hung Hom Stadium not only sang 10 Cantonese songs, but also added "Friends", "Blue Lotus",

"With You in My Life" and more than 10 Mandarin songs.

In addition, Jiang Xiaofeng also sang a Cantonese hit song "Lover" to pay tribute to his favorite Hong Kong Beyond band and the late lead singer Ka Kui.

When the melody of the song "Lover" rang over the Hung Hom Coliseum, the screams and cheers at the scene were about to overthrow the Coliseum.

Obviously, for local Xiangjiang fans, Beyond and Wong Ka Kui are no longer just a band and singer, but symbols and feelings of the golden age of the Xiangjiang music scene.

"Is it fate, love, innocence, or an accident?"

There are tears, guilt, dedication, and patience

It's a person, a wall, the cold winter, hidden in the eyes

I have fantasies day and night, I can’t wait

…”

I don't know why, but every time Jiang Xiaofeng sings the song "Lover", he feels an indescribable sadness and loss.

Happy time is always short. From the first song "Live Viva" to the 30th song "Next Year Today", the entire 2 hours and 30 minutes of singing time seemed to pass by in a flash.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng sang very enthusiastically and enjoyed himself very much, his fans and friends were still unsatisfied and did not hear enough at all.

Even though Jiang Xiaofeng announced that the concert was over and said thank you and goodbye to his fans and friends, the fans were still reluctant to leave and were not willing to leave at all. They even shouted "encore", "encore" crazily.

In fact, her manager Chen Jiaying has already predicted that Jiang Xiaofeng's concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum will definitely have many enthusiastic fans shouting "encore". Therefore, Chen Jiaying has already arranged the time well and left time for Jiang Xiaofeng to sing a song.

.

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng holding the guitar and returning to the stage, many fans at the scene cried T﹏T.

"The last song is really the last song. Many of you may not have heard this song, but it is what I want to say to you. I want to tell you that you are all in our lives.

Flowers - "Those Flowers", given to you, I hope you like it, and I hope you can remember tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fans at the scene were already so excited that they were going crazy. They were crying and shouting, and the screams and cheers were getting louder and louder.

Jiang Xiaofeng, standing on the stage, still calmly strummed the strings and sang his personal favorite song - "Those Flowers" for more than 10,000 fans in the audience.

"That laugh reminds me of

my flowers

in every corner of my life

Open it quietly for me

I thought I would forever

stay by her side

Today we have left

In the vast sea of ​​people

Are they all old?

where are they

…”

Cantata, another big chorus.

Although the song "Those Flowers" is the second Mandarin song in the compilation album "Campus Folk Songs 1" released by Dadi Records, Jiang Xiaofeng was surprised and pleasantly surprised that almost all local fans at the scene could sing this song.

.

After singing the song "Those Flowers", Jiang Xiaofeng's first solo concert at Hung Hom Stadium was finally officially concluded.

"Fengzi! We will always support you!"

"Fengzi, we love you!"

"..."

Listening to the fans' confessions and shouts, Jiang Xiaofeng did not hesitate or say anything more. He just waved to them with his back turned, and then slowly walked down the lift and left the concert site through the passage under the stage.

Backstage.

Facing such a successful first solo concert, manager Chen Jiaying had already returned to the backstage with her staff, waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng to come back to celebrate.

The next night.

It was still the Hung Hom Stadium, and the venue was still full. Jiang Xiaofeng once again used one hot song after another to push the atmosphere to the high court.

However, the most exciting and exciting moment of the night was when Queen Huang Fei appeared handsomely on the lift platform and sang the classic hit "Human World". The fans at the scene almost went crazy. They never thought that Wang Fei

He unexpectedly appeared at Jiang Xiaofeng's concert.

Moreover, Wang Fei was aloof and taciturn. She didn't say a word during the whole process, and she didn't even move her position much. After singing the classic Cantonese duet song "Love in the Storm" with Jiang Xiaofeng, she got off the lift platform.

Although Jiang Xiaofeng's third concert was not as sensational as the last one when Queen Wang Fei suddenly appeared, Zhou Huimin's singing at Jiang Xiaofeng's concert also made the atmosphere hot for a while.

Especially when Jiang Xiaofeng and Zhou Huimin were holding hands and singing the chorus on the stage, the fans at the scene almost fainted from anger, shouting "no, no" hysterically, wishing they could stab Zhou Huimin on the spot.

Fortunately, Jiang Xiaofeng only signed the contract with Zhou Huimin, which prevented the fans from going completely crazy.

As for Jiang Xiaofeng’s fourth concert, Jiang Xiaofeng even invited Andy Lau, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to bring an extraordinary surprise to his fans and friends. The two sang the song "Forgetting Love Water" due to each other in the air.

It became a classic scene in this concert.

Jiang Xiaofeng's fifth solo concert at the Hung Hom Stadium was also the last concert, and it can be called the most classic concert in the entire series.

Because at this concert, when Jiang Xiaofeng finished his speech at the concert, the melody of the theme song of the movie "A Better Tomorrow" rang out.

The melody of the theme song of "A Better Tomorrow" will be familiar to fans of Hong Kong movies.

But just such a melody directly pushed the atmosphere of the battlefield to the highest level, because they had roughly expected that it was probably Hong Kong's superstar Leslie Cheung.

Sure enough, when Jiang Xiaofeng and all the fans in the audience were shocked, the "Emperor Superstar" Leslie Cheung, who had not performed in public for six years, appeared at Jiang Xiaofeng's concert with a classic golden song "Love of the Year".

"The gentle laughter is bringing me warmth

You inject me with strong electricity of happiness

Say it softly, the long road is about to go

Finally arrived at a bright and sunny day

Jumping for joy

Like a red sun giving out money

…”

Seeing Leslie Cheung singing the song "Love of the Year" and suddenly appearing at Jiang Xiaofeng's concert, not only the fans at the scene were moved and excited, but even Jiang Xiaofeng felt dreamy and incredible.

Listening to Leslie Cheung singing the song "Love of the Past" in front of him, Jiang Xiaofeng really felt like traveling through time and space, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

"Leslie!"

"Leslie!"

"..."

Although Leslie Cheung has retired from the music scene for 6 years, the moment he appeared at the Hung Hom Stadium, he was still as starry and charming as before. Fans in the audience were shouting his English name crazily.

Leslie Cheung agreed to be Jiang Xiaofeng's concert guest this time, partly because of Chen Jiaying's generous invitation, partly because he admired Jiang Xiaofeng, the new king of the music scene, and also to prepare for his return to the music scene.

Kill three birds with one stone.

At this concert, Jiang Xiaofeng also fulfilled his childhood dream. He and his idol Leslie Cheung sang the classic Cantonese song "Silence is Golden" at the Hong Kong Coliseum concert, which became the most classic scene of the entire concert.

.

After the fifth concert at the Hung Hom Stadium, Jiang Xiaofeng's concert was also announced to have ended successfully.

The five consecutive Hung Hom Stadium concerts were not only full and the atmosphere was hot, capturing the hearts of thousands of girls, but also made Jiang Xiaofeng famous and wealthy, further establishing his status as a superstar in the Hong Kong music scene.

After these five concerts, Jiang Xiaofeng did not return to Yanjing immediately. Instead, he spent the Spring Festival in Xiangjiang accompanied by his manager Chen Jiaying and others.

Jiang Xiaofeng stayed in Xiangjiang until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year before bidding farewell to Chen Jiaying and preparing to return to Yanjing.

Different from the last time she asked for leave under the pretext of "collecting songs", this time, Chen Jiaying was much more relieved about Jiang Xiaofeng and gave him a month-long vacation so that he could create hard in Yanjing and prepare for the new album.
