Chapter 316 Begins
Wang Yongming and Hang Shun are very good friends. They are high school classmates and their common interest is music.
Although the two did not attend the same university, they were in the same city. If they had time, they would go to various music festivals together and enjoy the very enthusiastic and hot atmosphere on the scene.
They are also relatively lucky "fans" and have qualified to attend the "Qingge Music Festival".
"Although I really like Gu Qingge, I have paid to download all the songs she has released since her debut, and I also like to consume on her personal platform, but it turns out that the Golden Autumn Music Festival is more attractive to me, because I think the live performances of Li Jie and Dynasty Band will be more contagious." Wang Yongming said to his good friend Hang Shun.
Hang Shun certainly disagreed. "Old Wang, have you been brainwashed by those online comments about Gu Qingge's live performance being inadequate? Although none of us have been to her live performance, those who have have raved about it. I think we should go to the Qingge Music Festival this time. I really want to see that talented Gu in person."
Wang Yongming let out a scornful smile and couldn't help but tease, "It seems you're more interested in and admire Gu Qingge's appearance than her music. That's why everyone who's seen her live says she's great. After all, everyone's putting on a filter. From a purely musical perspective, how can she compare to the many talented singers at the Golden Autumn Music Festival?"
Hang Shun's face turned red. His spending on Gu Qingge's personal platform was basically buying her peripheral products, such as posters. Collecting Gu Qingge's beautiful pictures was indeed one of his hobbies.
"Whatever you think, I will never miss this Qingge Music Festival. No matter what, I believe in Gu Qingge's performance!" Hang Shun said firmly.
Wang Yongming couldn't help but advise, "You're truly obsessed with sex. You should know that Gu Qingge's Qingge Music Festival can be watched live through her personal platform. There's really no need to go there. Besides, most of the songs she sings are new. Can she guarantee that every one of her new songs will be popular?"
"What's the point of watching the live broadcast through a personal platform? Going to the scene to see her and listen to her singing up close is the most worth looking forward to! How about this, we go to both music festivals. Although the schedule is very tight, for us, it's just a matter of spending a little more money." Hang Shun suggested.
When Wang Yongming saw that his good friend was determined to attend the "Qingge Music Festival" no matter what, he shook his head helplessly, but finally agreed.
In fact, Wang Yongming really doubted whether Gu Qingge's on-stage performance skills were as outstanding as the legend said.
The reason, of course, is that Gu Qingge’s creative ability is too strong. Where can you find a singer with both strong creative ability and top-notch singing skills?
Does her existence make it impossible for other singers to survive?
Wang Yongming and Hang Shun first participated in the "Golden Autumn Music Festival" which had been warmed up for a long time and was very grand.
Sure enough, Li Jie, a new generation female singer with top singing skills, appeared at the "Golden Autumn Music Festival" and contributed a very wonderful stage performance.
She is the biggest highlight of this "Golden Autumn Music Festival". Her singing skills are indeed strong, but her new songs are rather mediocre and failed to leave a deep impression on music fans.
But no matter what, Li Jie's live performance is indeed very strong, and her vocal skills are definitely at the expert level!
This talented singer is very stable on stage, and it is a pleasure for everyone to listen to her singing.
Compared with Li Jie, the stage performance of Dynasty Band was a bit disappointing and had many flaws.
Hang Shun couldn't help but comment, "Is this all Dynasty Band is? How did they win the Best Band award at this year's Golden Melody Awards? This performance is definitely not as good as Queen's."
"It's too early for you to draw such a conclusion. Maybe Queen's stage performance at the next Qingge Music Festival will be worse than Dynasty's!" Wang Yongming said objectively.
"That's impossible. I feel that Dynasty Band doesn't care about this Golden Autumn Music Festival at all. They are really not professional enough. They are obviously a rock band, but the live performance of their songs is far worse than the studio version. They can't even get the audience excited. So what kind of rock is this?" Hang Shun pointed out incisively.
Wang Yongming had nothing to say about this. He also felt that the Dynasty Band did not live up to its name. However, this band was very good at creating fan clubs because the band members were all good-looking.
Perhaps they would be more suitable to form a boy band idol group than a band...
However, what neither Wang Yongming nor Hang Shun had expected was that at this "Golden Autumn Music Festival", no one cared about the poor performance of the Dynasty Band, and no one cared about Li Jie's outstanding stage performance. Instead, something she said actually caused a lot of controversy!
"Boys have many dreams, but after turning 18, their dreams become buying a house and a car, so we should give our beloved boys some understanding and tolerance. Boys should boldly continue to pursue their dreams, and girls must be themselves."
Wang Yongming and Hang Shun both heard these words at the time. They didn't think there was anything wrong with them and even thought that the female singer was quite understanding.
But what no one expected was that after these words spread on the Internet, Li Jie was scolded and became a hot topic!
No one cares about what songs she sang or how good her live performance was, because she got punched...
Li Jie herself is also very straightforward. After her remarks caused great controversy, she responded with a message, saying: "If you feel good about talking nonsense, go ahead. But I will not back down, because I have done nothing wrong."
This time she seemed to have disturbed the nest of animals. There were more than 100,000 comments on this Weibo post, and she was also criticized on Douban!
Of course, there are also many men who support her on Hupu.
Unfortunately, the straight men on Hupu are worthy of being called straight men on Hupu. They said that even if Li Jie said this, she would not be able to become the "Hupu Goddess" because her appearance is indeed not good enough.
"If these words were said by Gu Qingge, then there is no doubt that we will protect her no matter what!" This is the real opinion of some straight men on Hupu.
As a result, after this view was transferred to Douban, various "stinky katydids", "enoki mushrooms", and "xdz" were arranged again.
It was considered a heinous crime for men to look at women's faces. Some people even laughed at Li Jie, saying that her words did not please any men and that she was trying to please neither side.
Gu Qingge was also criticized by extreme feminists. The reason for the criticism was that she was too beautiful and dressed in a way that was too pleasing to men. This was not enough, so they had to punch her a few times.
Although these boxing techniques were very disorganized, they did indeed arouse some people's envy, jealousy and hatred towards Gu Qingge, and they gave her more cultivation jades.
Gu Qingge naturally had no time to pay attention to gender issues on Weibo. She had been working hard to prepare for the "Qingge Music Festival".
She doesn't care what kind of performances other singers give at other music festivals; she only cares about her own performance and that of Queen.
Gu Qingge was well prepared and very confident, the reason being of course her master-level vocal skills, which she intended to be really awesome.
While people were still condemning Li Jie on the Internet, Gu Qingge's "Qingge Music Festival" also started as planned.
It was 7:30 in the evening. Wang Yongming and Hang Shun had already arrived and taken their seats.
Almost none of the two thousand lucky "fans" were absent, and other fans who did not come to the scene have already opened the "fan club" platform and are ready to watch the live broadcast of the "Qingge Music Festival".
"This venue and stage design are even more grand than the previous Golden Autumn Music Festival. Gu is truly a talented woman, she strives for perfection in everything!" Hang Shun couldn't help but brag.
This time, Wang Yongming didn't refute the other party. Instead, he nodded and said, "This is more like Gu Qingge's personal concert than a music festival. This kind of small concert is actually more friendly to fans. If they really held a large-scale concert with tens of thousands of people, we wouldn't be able to sit in such a great seat."
Hang Shun and Wang Yongming were sitting very front row, so if Gu Qingge appeared on the stage, they could see her whole body very clearly.
As time went by, when Gu Qingge finally appeared on the stage, the whole place was filled with screams and cheers!
The atmosphere of this concert was created in an instant!
This time, Gu Qingge still wore rock-style clothes, with her long legs wrapped in tight leather pants. Her makeup was very unique, her eye shadow was very charming, and her hairstyle was also very fashionable.
Gu Qingge's dressing style is undoubtedly more attractive to female fans because they really think she is so cool!
As for male fans, of course, they prefer Gu Qingge’s ancient costumes. Whether it is Hanfu or cheongsam, they like them all, especially the high-slit blue and white porcelain style cheongsam with stockings. They are really fascinated by it!
At this moment, Hang Shun, who saw Gu Qingge for the first time in real life, felt relieved immediately. He exclaimed, "The talented Gu in real life is indeed even more beautiful! This dress and makeup are absolutely stunning!"
Wang Yongming said calmly, "I think that's it. Gu Qingge is most beautiful in ancient costumes. This rock style doesn't really suit her temperament. But she is indeed one of the few female singers who can pull off leather pants. Some short-legged female singers wearing leather pants are simply a disaster! A complete disaster!"
After a pause, Wang Yongming added, "I don't care what she wears. I'm here to listen to her sing. If she doesn't sing well, then no matter how beautiful she is, it's nothing. From the beginning, I've been a fan of her work."
As the two of them were quietly discussing Gu Qingge's appearance, the live broadcast room of the "Fan Club" personal platform also became lively.
"GeGe is so beautiful, lick the screen!"
"Finally my wife showed up."
“It’s such a shame I couldn’t be there!”
"Every time the talented lady Gu broadcasts live, it's so grand and impressive. Awesome, awesome, awesome!"
…
Gu Qingge did not start singing directly, but first interacted with the "fans" at the scene and expressed his gratitude to them.
Gu Qingge said, "I organized this Qingge Music Festival not only to give back to everyone who has supported me, but also to use it as a platform to release my new songs... I actually really enjoy presenting the live stage to everyone, because it allows me to perfectly convey what I want to convey through my songs..."
Gu Qingge has always had good eloquence, otherwise she wouldn't have been invited to so many variety shows. She is also not at all stage fright, and her aura can be said to be particularly strong.
After all, for Gu Qingge, this is just a game. She is very confident when playing any game!
The "fans" at the scene and in the live broadcast room were of course very moved by Gu Qingge's gratitude. Some "fans" have continued to recharge on this platform. They are particularly willing to spend money on her!
After that, Gu Qingge introduced her Queen band members as usual, which naturally caused another round of cheers.
As Queen's performances increase and the band members appear on more and more variety shows, their exposure naturally increases, and some of their members also have a lot of personal fans.
For example, Yuzuna Hanyu from Japan has attracted countless fans thanks to variety shows because she is really relaxed on variety shows.
However, for Yuzuru Yukina, being the keyboardist of Queen is something she will never give up. She wants to be with Gu Qingge forever and perform the anime-style Japanese songs created by Gu Qingge.
Next, the first song she was going to sing, "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", finally appeared on the big screen behind Gu Qingge.
"Gu Qingge's new song! I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Is it possible that all these new songs are written for [Poppy]?"
"If so, please step it up!"
"I'm really envious of [Poppy], I'm also a girl, can Gu Qingge pamper me?"
"I wonder if Gu Qingge can sing the song [Poppy]?"
…
The song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" was performed by a band called "Escape Plan" in the original world, but in this world, it will be performed by the band Queen.
This song is very nice and can give people a sense of upward strength.
As Queen finally started playing, the "fans" at the scene finally perked up and prepared to start enjoying this musical feast!
Gu Qingge was too lazy to pick up the guitar now because she felt that her guitar skills were not good enough, unless she was ready to smash it sometime. Unfortunately, the song she was going to sing today was not suitable for smashing the guitar.
Gu Qingge stood in front of the microphone stand, her expression perfectly controlled. She held the microphone with both hands and sang like this:
"The brightest star in the night sky
Can you hear clearly
The one who looks up
Loneliness and sighs in my heart
Oh, the brightest star in the night sky
Can you remember
Once walked with me
The figure disappeared in the wind
I pray to have a transparent heart
And eyes that shed tears
..."
When Gu Qingge sang "I Pray", Wang Yongming, who had been listening to the song attentively, suddenly lit up his eyes!
This new song is really nice!
