Chinese entertainment, from radio love songs to superstars

Chapter 92: Queue up overnight
"There are twists and turns on the road. One day I want to go home, but it's too late... Thank you, bye!"

When the band and backing singers were pushing the "tail" of the concert to a climax, everyone knew clearly that Anita Mui had left the stage.

This audio-visual feast left a deep impression on mainland audiences.

Perhaps there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people, and the same is true for this extremely dreamy concert. Everyone who watches it will have their own different understanding of the plot.

Some people may like Anita Mui's style, while others may think her hairstyle is exaggerated, but this is her. She is not a tragic and tacky woman, but a queen of change. She is always bold and avant-garde, always at the forefront of the times.

Loyal old fans:
"'Youth in the Past' is a perfect match for Sister Mei and Brother. The collaboration is seamless and it can be called an unbeatable duet!"

"My dream came true. I got to see my idol's concert in my lifetime."

"For more than ten years, this is the queen. This is the queen."

……

Young fans:
"I still have to watch Hong Kong singers in concert. The scene is so gorgeous, the people, the songs and the stage are all in one."

"Shen Lang is indeed the king of surprises. The song "Fang Hua Jue Dai" and the song "Blue Lotus" are both moving and quiet, which makes people linger on the memory."

"There are nine more songs like this. It feels like Lang Ge's new album is going to be a huge hit again."

……

Fellow stars:
"I would call it the best concert since the beginning of the millennium, bar none."

"Is this Shen Lang so amazing? He can even be a guest at Anita Mui's concert."

"Objectively speaking, he is indeed good at writing and singing songs. No, he has several skills."

……

After the concert, the audience's enthusiasm did not diminish, but became even higher, and they talked in groups of three or four.

The biggest surprise, or the biggest surprise, was Shen Lang.

"Youth in the Past" was a good match for Anita Mui and Rosina Maggie Cheung, while "Blue Lotus" shocked the audience as soon as it came out.

"The prelude sounded like Sanskrit, and it was as if I could see the Potala Palace in Tibet."

"The phrase 'Blue Lotus' was like a cry from my soul, and it made me want to quit my job and travel."

"Haha, me too. As I listened to this, I wanted to go somewhere far away and find freedom."

“There are no grandiose words, no great joy or sorrow, no ups and downs. The whole song is like a quiet and peaceful blue lotus, exuding the fragrance of strength and inspiration, and shaking every ordinary soul!”

"There will always be times when the weather is grim, there will always be ideals that are shattered, there will always be light that is swallowed by darkness, there will always be withering that comes quietly, but so what? Nothing can stop the blue lotus from blooming!"

"Okay, okay, stop doing the reading comprehension and go line up to buy the album now, otherwise you might not be able to buy it tomorrow."

……

The title song "Blue Lotus" of the new album "Lang" has attracted everyone's attention and desire to buy.

The voices of doubt and pessimism from the outside world have become smaller.

Why just “some”?
Because the dead duck is still stubborn.

At this time, Shen Lang, Gao Yuanyuan, Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong were having a midnight snack in the hotel.

They were also talking about Shen Lang's new album and new songs.

"Did your song "Blue Lotus" get inspiration from Monk Tang?"

"To be precise, it's the prototype of Tang Monk, Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty." Shen Lang even copied Xu Wei's creative ideas.

In the original time and space, Xu Wei was deeply troubled by depression and was inspired by two masters in Buddhism, Master Xuanzang and Master Hongyi.

They all have a special belief, which is reflected in the song as the "never-fading blue lotus", symbolizing firmness and lasting power.

Through this song, Xu Wei hopes to convey to the audience a positive attitude towards life and encourage people to maintain their faith and move forward courageously when facing difficulties and challenges.

"The ancient Egyptians regarded the blue lotus as a symbol of life very early on. At that time, graceful lotus flowers grew everywhere on large tracts of land on both sides of the Nile River, just like life, which is endless."

Shen Lang opened up his mouth and spoke non-stop, "It's my persistence in life and my ideals. I won't give up. Nothing can stop me from yearning for freedom."

This long and voluminous account of the creation left Gao Yuanyuan, Anita Mui and Zhang Guorong stunned.

Especially with Shen Lang's life experience, the whole song revolves around his confusion in reality, which makes the song more universal and infectious.

Shen Lang's words also made the three of them fall into deep thought.

The next day, September 9st, Yanjing.

The sudden drizzle did not stop the fans' love for Na Ying at all. The signing event originally scheduled to be held at the North Book City main store at 11 a.m. had fans lining up at 4 a.m.

Having come to the capital three times within a year, Na Ying's fans' enthusiasm remains high.

There were even fans from Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province, Liaoning Province and other places who came in groups just to get close to their idols and support them.

During the signing process, Na Ying not only signed autographs for every fan who came to support her, but also sang songs on the spot and interacted with fans.

These fans who followed Na Ying all the way were also very generous. One fan who came from afar bought 20 albums at once.

Most of the other fans waiting for autographs also held several albums each. In just over an hour of signing time, Na Ying's new album "I'm Not an Angel" sold 2000 copies.

After a busy morning, Na Ying got on the car back to the hotel. She was physically and mentally exhausted, but she had an unconcealable smile on her face.

"If I had known earlier, I would have prepared 5000 tickets. The fans are so enthusiastic, it will definitely sell well this time." Na Xing was also smiling.

"By the way, I heard that Shen Lang sang the title song of his new album at Anita Mui's concert yesterday. Was there any newspaper report on it?" Na Ying asked casually.

"Yes, but you don't have to pay attention to it. Those media outlets are always praising his songs. It's not objective at all." Na Xing said angrily.

"I'm quite curious about what song it is. Let's buy a copy when we pass by a music store later." Na Ying said lightly.

She is certainly not afraid when it comes to album sales.

Besides, she was afraid of no one.

And she is very confident now.

After winning the Best Lyricist Award at the Golden Melody Awards, his confidence increased greatly. This time, he personally wrote the lyrics for the first hit song "I'm Not an Angel" and the second hit song "Just Smile It Off" of his new album.

So she was no longer thinking about how to defeat Shen Lang, but how to win the next Golden Melody Awards.

I bought Shen Lang's album just to listen to it and see what new tricks he has come up with this time.

Because from promoting songs on the radio to inviting female singers to sing with her, in her eyes, form is more important than content, and gimmicks are more important than substance.

If a singer wants to develop in the long run, he or she cannot rely on fancy tricks but on real strength!
