Chapter 427 Chapter 426, Please raise your hands for me again

Jiang Feng gave deep consideration to the selection of songs for his first solo concert in his life.

There are 18 Chinese songs and 14 English songs.

That’s right, all the songs in the English album “Natural” were arranged to be performed on stage. The reason for this is that the songs in this English album have the highest B-level.

The style of the music is explosive and the song is passionate, making it most suitable for singing at concerts to interact with fans. Even if many of these fans do not understand English, they can still raise their hands and dance to the beat of the music.

In addition, there is another important factor...

Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the emotion of national pride also plays a big role.

The most obvious example is that the English album "Natural" swept the European and American music scene when it was first released. Supported by the rumor that the king of pop Michael Jackson took three years to release this album, the highest weekly sales once reached a terrifying height of 3 million copies.

However, the initial sales of this album in mainland China were very dismal, with the highest weekly sales being only 8 copies. But when mainland fans heard that Jiang Feng was [Feng], sales instantly skyrocketed.

Damn... Jiang Feng's music album has already swept Europe and the United States, so I have to buy one to listen to.

In Beijing and Guangdong Province alone, where the level of education is relatively high, the single-day sales record reached over 2 copies.

Not to mention the music critics who, in order to increase the sales of the paper magazines they work for, have been praising this album without any bottom line.

What does Jiang Feng represent?
Now, Jiang Feng represents "high-end"!
In fact, Jiang Feng didn't like this kind of atmosphere, he even felt disgusted with it, but he had to admit that he benefited from it.

The music album "Natural", which had been experiencing sluggish sales in the European and American music markets, has surpassed 3 million copies in global sales in just three months, thanks to the support of the mainland music market.

Although Jiang Feng's influence has not yet reached the level of an international superstar, he has already opened up a gap with domestic big-name singers.

Apart from anything else, before, the price of Jiang Feng's music works was only 30 to 50. Although he has never written songs for singers other than Wang Fei and Cai Yiling, his price is recognized.

But after Jiang Feng became the king of Asia and released the legendary music album "Natural" with sales exceeding 10 million, the market price of his works doubled.

The direct reason is that Jiang Feng's fame has expanded and has begun to go international.

International, these two words are very valuable in the current entertainment industry.

Although they are all movie stars, the pay of Chen Long, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and Andy Lau varies greatly, and the reason lies in whether or not they have "entered the international market".

Those who have made it into Hollywood may not be able to hire people even though their pay is in US dollars. Those who haven't made it can only take RMB, and the amount is far from enough.

This problem has not changed much in the past, not to mention the current stage, until around 2018. Even in the era of traffic, local young actors are not as expensive as those who return to China...

If we want to truly stand up straight, we have to wait until the national strength improves. Although there are still people who cannot get up after kneeling for too long, more people will no longer blindly follow Europe and the United States.

Before that, all Jiang Feng could do was to take advantage of Europe and the United States, bully those European and American singers, arouse the confidence of fans, and arouse the national pride of ordinary people.

Damn it, what’s so great about a group of foreigners? We Jiang Feng still pinned them to the ground and rubbed them.

“I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me…"

The last song Jiang Feng sang during the four-hour solo concert was "Numb". He chose this song to end the concert because it expresses an attitude. Even if everyone around you is indifferent, you should not care about other people's opinions. Choose the right path, walk bravely, and walk energetically!
After the song was finished, Jiang Feng suddenly stopped and stood in the center of the stage. He bowed to the 8 audience members and then slowly exited the stage on the elevator in the middle of the stage!
Even though everyone was waving their glow sticks and shouting in unison, "Encore, encore", Jiang Feng just smiled and waved at everyone.

A concert and your entire career should be like this, ending at your most glorious moment. The audience will always look forward to your next show and will always remember your splendor, instead of being like Qing Long several years later, who is still playing a hero on the screen even though he is over 70 years old.

In fact, sometimes the audience really wants to vomit after watching it.

.........

The influence of his first solo concert in his life was far greater than Jiang Feng had expected.

the next day, early morning

Last night's concert almost monopolized the headlines of all media entertainment sections. Even second-rate official media newspapers such as "Beijing Morning Post" gave the headlines to Jiang Feng with the title "Jiang Feng, Leading the Rise of Chinese Pop Music."

From an official perspective, this is a very high evaluation. However, although the status of a second-rate newspaper is high, most readers have no intention of looking at the various deep positive meanings behind a concert.

In comparison, they prefer to read substantive news and celebrity gossip.

"Contemporary Music" understood this principle very well. They directly put a live photo of Jiang Feng's concert last night on the cover of the magazine.

This photo was taken from an upward perspective. On the stage, Jiang Feng, wearing only a pair of shorts, was singing passionately. Under the stage stood a tall beauty, waving a fluorescent stick and staring at Jiang Feng on the stage with infatuated eyes!
Then, Contemporary Music gave the photo a title, "This night, Jiang Feng is the brightest star, even the Chinese pop queen Wang Fei can only look up to him."

Leaving aside the casual readers, for Jiang Feng’s fans, this photo simply hit the spot.

Since his debut, many people have said that Jiang Feng relied on gigolos to rise to the top. If he hadn't known how to use his advantages and used his image to attract the attention of the Chinese pop queen Wang Fei, who would know him?
But now what?

Did you grandchildren see this? It was Wang Fei who was madly worshipping our idol, and it was she who insisted on pestering Jiang Feng.

Just based on this cover, this issue of "Contemporary Music" magazine was sold out, and many fans bought this issue of the magazine just for the cover.

Jiang Feng also liked this cover very much. He even wanted to call Contemporary Music Magazine to ask them for this very commemorative photo. He would then enlarge it and frame it in his bedroom so that he could appreciate it whenever he wanted.

However, when Wang Fei knew Jiang Feng's idea, she pounced over, jumped on Jiang Feng's back, and then bit his earlobe with her mouth.

"Tell me, do you still want this photo?"

"Well, no more."

"Hehe, you're smart. If you dare to ask for it, believe it or not, I will bite you to death."

Speaking of the word "bite", Wang Fei seemed to remember something. Suddenly, her face turned red, she spat softly, then left the bedroom and shouted to herself.

"Sixth sister, Sixth sister, have we packed our luggage? If so, let's go to the airport now. Jiang Feng's solo concert in Hong Kong Island will start on December 12st."

"Sister Fei, everything is packed and we're ready to go." Coming out of the east wing, Jiang Ye looked towards the main bedroom and blushed. It's you two who have been so shameless and made such a fuss until now.
