Now I want to be a good person
Chapter 273
A number of Chinese media sent reporters to follow up Liang Kun in Japan. After learning that the tickets for his two concerts were sold out soon, the local media blew him a wave.
The media are all praising Liang Kun. I haven''t belittled him for a long time. The media are afraid of being beaten in the face and that the audience will not buy it, which will affect the sales of newspapers or the ratings of radio stations.
Now that his album sales have compared Wang Fei, and the audience of the concert has exceeded that of Honghe stadium in Xiangjiang, it can''t be blown too much.
Liang KUNKAI''s concert is at most in such venues. It is unrealistic to perform in various giant egg stadiums in Japan. It''s not that his popularity is not high enough, but that national musical instruments are not suitable for performing in such large venues. There is no precedent at all.
The consistent style of the media is to win and kill, as high as you can. How long you can stay in the cloud depends on the star''s ability. When you fall down, everyone watches the excitement together, and the media has no loss.
As a result, Liang Kun became the most exposed star in China, and no one can compare with him. The sales of the two novels "ghost blows the lamp" have picked up again.
On August 7, manager Gong Wei reported the latest work to Liang Kun.
In the past, it was troublesome for many people to contact Liang Kun. After he had a manager, it was much easier for him to contact Gong Wei first.
Liang Kun pushed away all the work related to advertising.
Many businessmen want to speak for him. Most of them are related to clothes and have a crush on his good figure. Unfortunately, he is still not an international famous brand, and he is not interested in signing a long-term contract.
At present, he has not received advertising endorsement in China. First, he will receive the endorsement of Japanese businesses, and there will be doubts in China. He can consider international brands, but big companies think he is not well-known enough. Even if they find him, they will not give him a high endorsement fee.
Gong Wei didn''t persuade Liang Kun to take over the advertisement. He knew that he was picky in this regard. It was a good habit.
Gong Wei said, "both the China Japan Friendship Song club and the China ROK friendship song club have invited you, which I think you must attend. The domestic conference will be broadcast live, which can increase the popularity."
"I''ll take these activities and help me reply." Liang Kun nodded without considering.
The China Japan Friendship Song Festival was held in 1992, led by the officials of both sides. Every time, many Chinese and Japanese stars participated. The program will be broadcast live to the audiences of China and Japan via satellite.
The China ROK friendship song festival began in 1999. It is a large transnational pop music event jointly launched by CCTV and Korean KBS television. It is held in China and South Korea in turn every year, and it''s Seoul''s turn this year.
Almost all the people who attend this kind of concert are big stars, which is a symbol of status in the eyes of many fans.
Liang Kun will first report the program, and then participate in the review and rehearsal. After returning home, he will soon have to devote himself to his new job.
He will almost certainly participate. Whether he plays musical instruments or sings, the organizers believe that he can attract the audience and improve the ratings. Moreover, he does not have to sing his own song, but can also choose to cover it. There is no rigid requirement in this regard. When Dai Yuqiang attended last year, he sang the opera "no one sleeps tonight", which won warm applause.
Liang Kun not only has to perform on stage, but also can''t screw up. In particular, two 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 bad, he is despised by fans in Japan and South Korea, or he is disgraced by media reports, he won''t want to participate in it again in the future.
On the contrary, if the singer performs well, it is to win glory for China. In the future, cultural activities such as Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and large-scale sports games will give priority to finding these people to perform.
Whether actors or singers want to become top stars, they must have ultra-high exposure. Anyone who refuses such an invitation or even plays big cards simply doesn''t want to mix up.
Liang Kun and others train every day and cooperate more and more tacitly. They know very well that opportunities are for those who are prepared. Since we want to perform, we must strive to do our best and strive for zero mistakes.
On August 16, Liang Kun and others successfully held their first concert in Wudao hall. Not only is Liang Kun extremely popular, but the performance of others is also very eye-catching.
The concert lasted more than two hours. It was just that playing the music was boring. This time they prepared some tricks.
During this period, not only did the host translate, Liang Kun also interacted with the audience in Japanese and said a lot of words. He introduced each of his teammates, who also showed their skills.
Ainiwar performed Sattar, and the Japanese audience felt very fresh and applauded warmly.
Fang Jinlong''s performance of imitating a variety of musical instruments with Pipa won more applause. He listened to Liang Kun''s suggestion and practiced this show method. Pipa can''t replace other instruments. He can only perform a short passage. That''s enough. The audience thinks it''s very interesting and full of gimmicks.
In addition, Fang Jinlong''s solo "ambush on all sides" is also very wonderful.
Beyond''s two classic songs "wide sea and sky" and "cold and rainy night" also appeared at the concert. They are not just playing, but singing. The lead singer is Liang Kun.
Huang Guanzhong and Huang Jiaqiang didn''t do the lead singer because of their discussion. First, Liang Kun is more famous than them and can attract the audience. Second, Liang Kun''s voice is better than them, not a little.
It''s not that they can''t sing these two songs, but it''s risky. It''s ok if the audience responds warmly. If the audience responds generally or even coldly, it''s embarrassing.
Liang Kun sang and the response was very enthusiastic. The first half of his song is "sea and sky", and the second half is "distant dream", which is the Japanese version of the song.
"A distant dream" was first included in the double main single EP released by beyond on June 25, 1993 (the day after Huang Jiaju accidentally fell).
The first release of "distant dream" is divided into two editions: single-sided bar code edition and double-sided bar code edition. The difference between the two versions is the difference in bar code, and other details are the same. It is said that before the release of this single, an invitation card for beyond Japan summer concert was randomly placed in the box.
The Japanese fans who bought this invitation card unexpectedly, although they won the prize, this humble little card will never be cashed.
Today, tens of thousands of Japanese fans cheered for beyond''s songs, and tears flashed from the corners of their eyes. They''ve been looking forward to this moment for a long time. They''re nine years late.
In any case, Japanese fans will remember a Xiangjiang band called beyond and admit that their songs are good. They feel satisfied.
The first concert 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 thought that he should release his song album as soon as possible, and try water with his single EP first.
When the Chinese media reported this incident, it also recalled the memories of many beyond fans. If beyond holds a concert next year, many people are definitely willing to support it.
The performance of folk musicians has also been highly praised by the media. In China, folk music has shown signs of revival, and more people want to learn national musical instruments. The key is that some parents feel that their children can make a fortune by learning this.
A magazine specially wrote a long article introducing these people. Many people want to know how they became teammates with Liang Kun. From teachers in ordinary Conservatory of music to well-known in the country, their stories are also very inspirational, or they are lucky.
Compared with the "women''s twelve music workshops", these people have stronger personal ability. The women''s team was just established in 2001. It is a group of young people with good image, but the level of musical instruments must be worse than that of famous performers.
Liang Kun caused the butterfly effect, and the women''s twelve music square was a little embarrassed in the future. Although they have been on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, if they really participate in the Chinese folk music competition won by Liang Kun, they can''t reach the final finals. This is also the reason why many famous performers despise them and raise many questions.
Liang Kun and others took the lead in rising in Japan, and the road of women''s twelve music square will become more difficult in the future. When they come back to Japan to perform, they will become a follow-up team, not a pioneer team.
Before that, not many music fans paid attention to them, and their popularity has not yet risen. If you want to be popular in Japan, you have to come up with attractive new things.
The second concert was more wonderful because Hamasaki was a guest.
When she appeared, some fans were so excited that they screamed and felt that they made a lot of money. Hamasaki Bu and Liang Kun sang two songs and sang independent by themselves. This is the main song in her EP "H" and also publicized herself.
The concert was full. Liang Kun has completely gained a foothold in the Japanese music world and has become an international star.
He completely overshadowed the young star Jay Chou.
In mid July, Zhou Jielun released his new album "octave space". On the first day of its release, its sales accounted for more than 70% of the sales of Taipei record store. That is to say, for every 10 CDs sold by the record store that day, more than 7 are Jay Chou''s "octave space" album. This sales speed is a rare record in the Bay Music World in recent years.
But even so, in July, the Chinese media were still reporting on Liang Kun, and only casually mentioned Jay Chou''s performance. When there are mainland stars to hold, the media are too lazy to pay attention to bay stars.
After the celebration banquet, Liang Kun said goodbye to Hamasaki and it was time to return to China.
After a few days'' rest in Yanjing, he had to report, and he didn''t have much time for class. He must participate in other activities. In September, Yanjing will hold the first Sino Japanese Friendship Song Festival.
Before Liang Kun left, Tokyo TV invited him to do a program and conduct an interview. The host asked about his future plans.
"My plan will not change. I will graduate from Yanda first, and then I will focus all my energy on developing my career. Next, I will take time to write a series of novels and produce a Chinese album."
The host asked, "I heard you''re going to write a song for Hamasaki. When can we see a new single?"
"In fact, I have written two songs and will see them soon. It''s the fastest before the China Japan song festival."
On the morning of the 20th, Liang Kun went to the airport. Before boarding, he found that eight orange tasks had been completed at one breath
