HuaYu97: Starting as a Singer

Chapter 303 [303] "Baby" makes its debut, igniting the entire audience!

This scene is almost like a zombie outbreak.

People with poor mental fortitude might falter in the face of such a grand occasion.

Having hundreds or even thousands of hands waving in front of you is a rather eerie feeling.

Qi Yuan is a natural stage person. He is not afraid and he enjoys the feeling of fans cheering and applauding for him.

Qi Yuan ran towards the stage along the narrow path, which was only a meter wide, while the security personnel following behind were all terrified.

Has Qi Yuan never witnessed the destructive power of crazed fans? Isn't he afraid of being grabbed by a fanatical female fan and then subjected to a series of murderous and forceful kisses?
Fortunately, that scene did not occur. Someone gently tugged at Qi Yuan's coat, but only gently.

Qi Yuan raised her hand and clapped with the fans along the way.

A Japanese female fan touched Qi Yuan's hand and jumped for joy.

It's probably a female fan who works or travels in Taiwan. Qi Yuan only released a single in Japan a few days ago, so it's unlikely that a fan would fly all the way from Japan specifically for her.

Once on stage, Qi Yuan adjusted her sunglasses, took off her red baseball jersey, and instead of tossing it to the audience, handed it to a staff member. She then took a black jacket from the staff member and put it on.

Sunglasses, black baseball jacket, black baseball cap—all the hip-hop elements are there, it's definitely a hip-hop style song.

It's either "Reversing the Earth" or "Heroes of the World," that's what everyone's guessing.

Zhou Jielun thought to herself that Qi Yuan's performance this time was not very good, not as exciting as she had imagined, and even a bit bland.

He thought Qi Yuan could create a big project for everyone.

The next second, when the music started, Zhou Jielun's expression froze; he realized he had made a mistake.

So that's where the big event was hidden.

As someone with perfect pitch, he is very sensitive to the sounds of various musical instruments.

As soon as the bright guitar melody began, he knew it was a new song he had never heard before.

Like Jay Chou, many fans noticed this detail. They may not have perfect pitch, but they are more familiar with Qi Yuan's songs and have listened to each one countless times.

Suddenly playing a song they've never heard before, the intro alone can give them a refreshing experience.

With her ten dance partners in position, Qi Yuan adjusted the microphone and began to sing.

"Oh whoa~~~"

"Whoa~~~"

The opening is a family-inherited, strange-sounding R&B track.

That's right, this song is "Baby" from Qi Yuan's English EP.

"Baby" blends various musical elements such as R&B, hip-hop, and pop dance music. Stylistically, it draws inspiration from the music of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, and is full of youthful energy, making it perfect for an opening performance.

"You know you love me, I know you care."

(You know you love me, I know you care.)
"Just shout whenever, and I'll be there."

(I will appear promptly whenever you call.)
……

Qi Yuan and ten backup dancers performed a graceful dance. Qi Yuan sang as she danced, and as soon as the verse began, screams instantly pierced the sky and swept through the entire Taipei Arena.

It really is a new song, and it's in English, and it's a really good song.

"And I was like, baby, baby, baby, oh!"

(I'm like, baby, baby, baby, oh)
"Like baby, baby, baby, oh!"

(Like baby, baby, baby, oh)

"Like baby, baby, baby, oh!"

(Like baby, baby, baby, oh)

"I thought you'd always be mine, mine"

(I thought you would always belong to me, to me.)

……

The entire audience went wild.

Fan Xiaopang got excited too. Her English wasn't good, and she only vaguely understood many of the song lyrics, but she still knew what the word "baby" meant.

No wonder he's her man, he's so talented, even the English songs he writes are so beautiful.

This song was definitely written for her; she is Qi Yuan's baby.

"I am your baby!"

Fan Xiaopang raised his hands as a megaphone and shouted excitedly.

This was her first time participating in a concert, and she really had a blast.

Fan Xiaopang's actions immediately drew eye rolls from Li Bingbing and Li Xue, the sisters.

Pah! Shameless! Aren't they afraid of being photographed by reporters?

Huang Xiaoming: "..."

How did Fan Xiaopang become Baby?
Huang Xiaoming certainly couldn't possibly know Yang Tianbao now, as Yang Tianbao was only eleven or twelve years old. He just had a vague feeling that something wasn't quite right.

With the end of "Baby", the fans' enthusiasm was ignited.

"This is my second solo English single, 'Baby.' Do you all like it?"

"I pray for you!! I pray for you!!!"

"The best-sounding!!!"

"I love you!"

The screams of the fans were so loud they seemed to lift the roof off.

"As everyone knows, I recently released my first English single, and it's selling alright, though it only sold less than 130 million copies in five days."

When I first wanted to break into the Japanese music scene, many people told me that it was very difficult to succeed there.

Now I don't think it's too difficult. The record company told me that my song "Free Loop" has a chance to break into the top seven on the Oricon chart next week.

The Japanese music scene is just the beginning; soon I will be making my way into the American music scene.

Next, I'd like to present the second song, "The Flower Field Mistake."

Jay Chou, Wang Lihong, and Tao Ze, the three rising stars, all looked at Qi Yuan with longing eyes.

By North!

That's so pretentious. When can they be as pretentious as Qi Yuan?

Qi Yuan's fans are even happier!
From now on, their fanbase has officially shifted from Chinese-language superstars to East Asian superstars, and may even evolve into global superstars in the future. Fans of this kind of idol-training system truly feel incredibly involved.

Some of the record company executives and top executives who came to the concert looked at each other in bewilderment.

Warner Music Taiwan only received the data this afternoon that "Free Loop" had sold 127 million copies. It's impossible for outsiders to know this unless there's a mole among Warner's middle and upper management.

Everyone knew that Qi Yuan's English single sold well, but no one expected it to sell this well!

It hasn't even entered the real European and American markets yet, but it has already sold 127 million copies and ranked in the top seven on the Oricon chart. Doesn't this crush the record set by the Princess in 99?
No wonder Zhou Jianhui hasn't been in Taiwan these past few days. He didn't run away; he went to the US to discuss making money in US dollars with Warner's headquarters.

That damned Zhou Jianhui!

Zhang Hao, who was also sitting below, smiled.

Everyone else thought Qi Yuan was showing off or being pretentious, but he thought Qi Yuan was being very low-key.

He knew that Qi Yuan was being conservative; the prediction from Japan Warner was that it would at least be in the top five, with a chance of breaking into the top three.

According to Qi Yuan, it became one of the top seven, a drop of two places.

He's really too cautious.

While Qi Yuan was talking and chatting with fans on stage, a staff member carefully carried a cool-looking silver guitar onto the stage.

Qi Yuan slung his guitar over his shoulder, and "The Flower Field Mistake" began.

Next, Qi Yuan will use a million-dollar guitar, more skillful singing, and a higher level of stage presence and control to show the audience what a true superstar is.
