Chapter 272 [Friendship Song Party, International Stars]

Several Chinese media sent reporters to follow Liang Kun in Japan. After learning that his tickets for two concerts were sold out quickly, media from all over the country blew him up.

The media all praise Liang Kun and haven't belittled him for a long time. The media is afraid of being slapped in the face, and is also afraid that the audience will not buy it, which will affect the sales of newspapers or the ratings of the radio station.

Since his album sales have surpassed Wang Fei and the number of audiences at the concert has exceeded that of the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium, it cannot be overkill.

Liang Kun held concerts at most in such venues, and performing in various dome stadiums in Japan is unrealistic. It is not that he is not very popular enough, but that ethnic instruments are not suitable for performing in such large venues, and there is no precedent at all.

The media's usual style is to praise the more you can. The higher you can praise the more you can. How long you can stay in the cloud depends on the ability of the stars. Everyone will fall down and watch the fun together, and the media will lose no losses.

As a result, Liang Kun became the most exposed star in China, and no one can compare with him. The sales of the two books "Ghost Blows Out the Light" brought by him have rebounded again.

On August 7, manager Gong Wei asked Liang Kun to report the latest work situation.

In the past, many people wanted to contact Liang Kun, but after he had a manager, it was much easier to deal with. You can contact Gong Wei first.

Liang Kun rejected all the work related to advertising after listening to it.

There are quite a few merchants who want to find him to endorse, most of which are related to clothing, and they like his good figure. Unfortunately, they are still not an international brand, and he is not interested in signing a long-term contract.

He has not yet taken over advertising endorsements in China. As soon as he first accepts endorsements from Japanese merchants, there will definitely be doubts in China. He can consider international brands, but big-name companies think that they are not well-known enough, and even if they find them, they will not give high endorsement fees.

Gong Wei did not advise Liang Kun to take on the commercial, knowing that he is picky in this regard, which is a good habit.

Gong Wei said: "The Sino-Japanese Friendship Song Festival and the Sino-Korea Friendship Song Festival have both sent invitations to you. I think you must participate in this. The live broadcast will be conducted in China, which can increase your popularity."

"I'll accept these activities, please help me reply." Liang Kun nodded without considering it.

The China-Japan Friendship Song Conference was held in 1992 and was led by both officials. Every time, many Chinese and Japanese stars participated. The program will be broadcast live to Chinese and Japanese audiences through satellites.

The China-Korea Friendly Song Festival started in 1999, and was jointly launched by CCTV and South Korea KBS TV. It is held in China and South Korea once a turn every year, and it is the turn to be held in Seoul this year.

Almost all those who participate in this kind of singing party are big-name stars, which are considered by many fans to be a symbol of status.

Liang Kun must first report to the program, then participate in the review and rehearsal. After returning to China, he will soon have to devote himself to his new work.

He will almost certainly participate. Whether he plays instruments or sings, the organizers believe that he can attract audiences and increase ratings. Moreover, he does not have to sing his own songs, but can choose to cover them. There are no rigid requirements in this regard. When Dai Yuqiang participated last year, he sang the opera "No one fell asleep tonight", which received warm applause.

Liang Kun not only has to perform on stage, but also can't perform. In particular, two of them were held abroad, one in Tokyo and one in Seoul.

To a certain extent, he represents the face of the country. If his performance is poor, he is underestimated by Japanese and Korean fans, or is reported to be a false reputation by the media, he will not think about participating again in the future.

On the contrary, if the singer performs well, it is to bring glory to China. In the future, cultural activities such as the Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, and large-scale sports meet will definitely give priority to finding these people to perform.

Whether an actor or a singer, if you want to become a top star, you must have a very high exposure rate. If anyone refuses such an invitation or even plays a big shot, he simply doesn't want to make a fuss.

Liang Kun and others trained every day and cooperated more and more tacitly. They knew very well that opportunities were for those who were prepared. Since they wanted to perform, they had to work hard to do their best and strive for zero mistakes.

On August 16, Liang Kun and others successfully held their first concert at the Wudang Hall. Not only was Liang Kun very popular, but the performance of others was also eye-catching.

The concert lasted for more than two hours, but it was just a mere music that was boring. This time they prepared some tricks.

During this period, not only did the host perform translator, but Liang Kun also interacted with the audience in Japanese and said a lot. He introduced every teammate, and his teammates also showed off his skills.

Ainivar performed Satar, and the Japanese audience felt it was very fresh and applauded enthusiastically.

Fang Jinlong used the pipa to imitate the performance of multiple instruments to get more applause. He listened to Liang Kun's suggestion and practiced this kind of show method. The pipa could not replace other instruments, so he could only perform a short section. This was enough, and the audience found it very interesting and full of gimmicks.

In addition, Fang Jinlong's solo "The Ambush" is also very exciting.

Two classic songs from beyond band "The Sea and the Sky" and "Cold Rainy Night" also appeared at the concert. They did not just perform, but sang, and the lead singer was Liang Kun.

Huang Guanzhong and Huang Jiaqiang did not become the lead singers because of the discussion. First, Liang Kun is more famous than them and can attract audiences more. Second, Liang Kun's voice is not a little bit better than them.

It’s not impossible for them to sing these two songs, but there are risks. If the guests help sing and the audience responds enthusiastically, it would be awkward if the audience responds normally or even has a bad situation.

Liang Kun sang and the reaction was very enthusiastic. He sang "The Sea and the Sky" in the first half, and the second half, "The Distant Dream", which is the Japanese version of this song.

"Dream of Distant" was first included in the double-star single ep released by beyond June 25, 1993 (the day after Huang Jiaju fell unexpectedly).

The first "Dream of Distant" is divided into two versions: the single-sided barcode version and the double-sided barcode version. The difference between these two versions is the difference in barcode, and the other details are the same. It is said that before the single was released, an invitation card for a Japanese summer concert beyond the Japanese was randomly stuck in the box.

What Japanese fans who bought this invitation card unexpectedly, although they won the prize, this inconspicuous small card will never be cashed out.

Now, tens of thousands of Japanese fans cheered and cheered for beyond, and tears flashed from the corners of their eyes. They were looking forward to this moment for a long time and were nine years late.

In any case, Japanese fans will remember a Hong Kong band called beyond. They admit that their songs are good and they are satisfied.

The first recital was very successful. In addition to the unique folk music performance, Liang Kun's singing was the biggest highlight. Many Japanese media praised Liang Kun's good voice and believed that he should release the song album as soon as possible, and try out the single ep first.

When Chinese media reported this incident, it also evoked memories of many beyond fans. If the concert beyond is held next year, there will definitely be many people willing to support it.

The performance of folk music performers has also received praise from the media. In China, folk music has shown signs of revival, and more people want to learn national instruments. The key is that some parents think that their children may make a fortune by learning this.

A magazine specially wrote a long article to introduce these people. Many people want to know how they became teammates with Liang Kun. From teachers from ordinary music colleges to nationally renowned, the stories of several people are also quite inspiring, or they are very lucky.

Compared with the "Women's Twelve Music Square", these people have stronger personal abilities. The women's team was just established in 2001. They are a group of young people with good image but their instrumental standards are definitely worse than those of famous performers.

Liang Kun caused the butterfly effect, and the future of the Women's Twelve Music House is a bit embarrassing. Don't think they have been on CCTV Spring Festival Gala, if they really participated in the Chinese National Music Competition where Liang Kun won the championship, they would not be able to reach the finals. This is also the reason why many famous performers look down on them and raise many questions.

Liang Kun and others were the first to rise in Japan, and the road to the Women's Twelve Lefang will become more difficult to walk in the future. When they come to Japan for performances, they will become a team that follows the trend, rather than a team that sets the precedent.

There weren’t many music fans paying attention to them before, and their popularity has not yet risen. If you want to become popular in Japan, you have to come up with new attractive things.

The second recital was even more exciting because Ayumi Hamasaki was the guest.

When she appeared, some fans were so excited that they screamed, and they all felt that they had made a lot of money. Ayumi Hamasaki sang two songs together and sang "independent" solo by herself. This is the main song in her ep "h" and also promoted herself.

The concert venues were full, and Liang Kun had completely gained a foothold in the Japanese music scene and had become an international star.

His popularity completely overshadowed the young star Jay Chou in Wanwan.

In mid-July, Chou Jielun released his new album "Octodes Space". On the first day of its release, its sales accounted for more than 70% of the sales of Taipei Records. That is to say, for every 10 CDs sold by the Records Store on that day, more than 7 were Chou Jielun's "Octodes Space" album. Such sales speed is a rare record in the Wanwan music scene in recent years.

But even so, in July, the Chinese media were still reporting on Liang Kun’s incident and just mentioned Chou Jielun’s performance casually. When there were mainland stars to praise, the media was too lazy to pay attention to Wanwan stars.

After the celebration banquet, Liang Kun bid farewell to Ayumi Hamasaki and it was time to return to China.

He had to report after a few days of rest in Yanjing, and he didn't have much time to attend classes, so he would definitely have to participate in other activities. In September, Yanjing will hold the first Sino-Japanese friendly song meeting.

Before Liang Kun left, Tokyo TV invited him to do a program and conduct an exclusive interview, and the host asked about his future plans.

"My plan will not change. I will first graduate successfully from Yanda University, and then I will focus all my energy on developing my career. Next, I will take time to write a series and release a Chinese album."

The host asked: "I heard you want to write a song for Ayumi Hamasaki. When will we see a new single?"

"Actually, I have written two songs and will see them soon. It's time to be before the China-Japan Song Festival."
