Chapter 50

Suddenly, all the other lights in the Hung Hom Sports Centre went out, leaving only a high-wattage white light somewhere in the middle of the stage. The only light in the entire venue was on the stage.

Suddenly, the noisy atmosphere in the gymnasium became quiet. Everyone was talking to each other in twos and threes, but suddenly all the lights went out. Everyone gradually stopped talking and their attention was immediately attracted to the lights on the stage.

"What time is it? Has the concert started yet?"

"Why did the lights suddenly go out? It scared me."

"Stop talking..."

At this moment, with a "clang" sound, the clear sound of the guitar was transmitted to every corner of the venue through the microphone, and a long series of non-stop guitar playing began. The music became more and more passionate, and just when it was about to reach the climax, "dong delongdong", "bang bang bang clang", the sounds of drums and bass also joined in.

At the beginning, several instruments seemed to be competing to see who could hit the loudest and loudest, with one performance after another. The audience seemed to hear the guitars, drums, etc. transformed into martial arts masters fighting each other.

The passionate accompaniment of the musical instruments attracted the attention of the entire audience to the stage, and aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Some people even shouted, "Good."

Just as the voices of the masters slowed down and they were about to leave, a penetrating soprano voice came on the stage. The low hum from her mouth sounded like the hymn of a thousand-year-old siren, so loud and clear that it struck people's hearts.

When the female voice appeared, the audience's attention seemed to be captured by her. A lift slowly rose up where the stage lights were shining, revealing the protagonist of the night, He Qianci.

She was wearing a black and red dress, had big wavy hair, and had makeup on her face. The dress flashed red under the light.

The audience sitting far away saw that the skirt on He Qianci was shining like stars, and those red dots were intertwined to form a pattern. If you looked closely, it looked like several red snakes were wrapped around her body.

At first people were shocked and thought He Qianci was making such a big deal, but when they looked more closely they realized that it was just a snake made of rubies, embellishing the skirt, making the skirt look gorgeous and mysterious.

However, with the changing lights on the stage and the song sung by He Qianci, there was an unusually harmonious feeling.

Ho Chien-chi's highly infectious voice, deep and hoarse but powerful, completely ignited the audience with this rock song. Everyone couldn't help but hum along, even some of the audience who were not fans could sing a few lines.

If someone passed by the Hung Hom Sports Centre at this time, or even a few hundred metres away, they could hear the passionate chorus coming from inside the stadium.

May, the agent who was waiting in the backstage to handle any unexpected problems, listened to the enthusiastic voices of the audience and watched the dazzling and amazing Ho Chien-tzu on the stage. She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled widely, "It's settled."

We have been preparing for this concert for such a long time, and if no major problems suddenly arise, then this concert will be a complete success in the end.

After May heaved a sigh of relief, she turned to the other backstage staff and encouraged them again, "Please pay attention tonight. I will treat you to a midnight snack and give out bonuses after the concert."

"Okay, Miss May."

"Thank you, May."

The other staff members were also very pleased with the lively atmosphere of the concert in the front stage, and they also knew that this was a good start. After listening to Sister May's words, even if she didn't say anything, they would continue to pay close attention to the rest of the concert. Now was not the time to open the champagne at halftime.

＊

In the middle of the concert, influenced by the heated atmosphere around them, Song Shu couldn't help but stand up and sing along with the chorus. After several songs, although she didn't sing along with every song, she felt a little dry in the mouth after a few.

Before Song Shu turned around and asked Chen Zonghao to get a bottle of mineral water from his bag, the man had already opened the lid and handed it to her, as if he was paying attention to her all the time.

Song Shu took it and said "thank you", then tilted her head back and drank it. Jiahui next to her was also sitting on a chair holding a bottle of water, and she did the same thing, tilting her head back and drinking it.

Chen Zonghao, who was standing by, watched the two people moving in unison, one big and one small, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth as he watched the two of them drinking water.

After drinking, Song Shu screwed the lid back on. Seeing that Jiahui had drunk enough, she helped her screw the lid back on. Then she handed the two bottles of mineral water back to Chen Zonghao and put them away. He took them and put them away very naturally. The two did not say a word, but their actions were in perfect harmony.

The atmosphere became even more heated in the second half of the concert. Although Song Shu planned not to make any big moves in the second half and just sit in a chair and listen quietly, she couldn't stop at all because of the wonderful performance of He Qianci and the band on the stage and the enthusiastic dancing of the people around her.

So much so that when she finally walked out of the gymnasium, her head seemed to still be buzzing with the sound of singing and dancing.

But it must be said that Ho Chien-chi's concert went unexpectedly well, leaving her no chance to be distracted or dazed. This is her highest praise for the concert.

Because in her previous life, she had gone to a singer's concert with her best friend. It can only be said that a rooster on the stage might have sung better than him, which caused her to be in a daze throughout the entire concert, instead of jumping up and down like now, with the whole audience jumping along.

Song Shu and Chen Zonghao followed the crowd out. Chen Zonghao held Jiahui in his arms, Song Shu followed him, and Shitou and Awen walked in front.

As she walked out, Song Shu could hear many people praising the party.

"As expected of He Qianci, her singing skills are amazing. She was really amazing tonight."

"Yes, tonight is truly a feast for both the eyes and ears. Not only are the songs great, but the stage layout for each song is also very good. He Qianci's stage costumes for each song are so pretty, and they match her songs and the stage very well."

"Don't mention it. Although reporters say He Qianci is ugly, her stage costume this time is more beautiful than the costumes she prepared for her previous concerts."

…

Song Shu listened to the voices around her and felt relieved and happy when she heard that they approved of He Qianci's stage costumes this time. This showed that her costume design this time not only satisfied her partners, but also the audience.

＊

It was more crowded when leaving the stadium than when entering. After all, some spectators may have arrived early and some late when entering, and everyone staggered their paths. But when leaving, everyone went out at the same time, so the passage was more crowded than when entering.

Chen Zonghao walked for a while and turned around to look at Song Shu. He didn't know when she had fallen behind him by a few steps and was separated from him by a few people.

Chen Zonghao stood aside waiting for her. Seeing her walking out with the crowd in a daze, he grabbed her wrist as she passed by him and said, "Hold me and follow me. Don't get lost again."

Song Shu did not struggle when he held her hand. She just lowered her head and found that she was squeezed a few steps behind. She originally wanted to go out and meet him again, but she didn't expect that this man would stop and wait for her.

Song Shu glanced at the crowds and nodded, "Okay." She took a few steps towards him and walked next to him, their shoulders touching. He held her hand so that she wouldn't be squeezed out again.

Following the flow of people, Song Shu and the other two walked for several minutes before they finally got out. As soon as they got outside, Song Shu breathed a breath of fresh air.

Awen and the others had already come out and were waiting for them at the door. When they saw them come out, it was already past ten o'clock, so everyone said goodbye to each other and left without saying anything.

＊

After the audience left the stage one after another, He Qianci took a long break backstage before she came to her senses. After all, she sang and danced throughout the entire concert, and her stage performance was very professional and she would never let people down. You can imagine how much physical energy she consumed.

She collapsed on the sofa. She no longer looked like the dazzling star on the stage just now. Now she was panting and looked exhausted like a dog.

But she had a happy and satisfied look on her face. Tonight's concert ended successfully. The enthusiastic response from the audience showed how successful it was.

May was also very happy. She put her hands together and prayed to the heaven and earth, "Amitābha, the concert has finally ended successfully. Thank God and earth..."

He Qianci put her hands on the sofa and found Sister May's expression a little funny. "Sister May, is it that serious? You might as well thank me instead of the heavens and the earth. I am so tired."

Sister May sat on another chair and nodded seriously. "As for this, it was the first large-scale event held at the Hong Kong Sports Center since its completion. People from all over Hong Kong were watching, so we were very nervous. Fortunately, it ended successfully, otherwise I don't know how the paparazzi would scold you in the newspapers tomorrow."

He Qianci shrugged and said, "It would be strange if those paparazzi didn't scold me."

She is immune to it and doesn't care anymore. What she is afraid of is that one day there will be no paparazzi scolding her. That would mean she is out of date. Thinking of this, she even looks forward to those paparazzi scolding her.

He Qianci thought that the concert tonight could be held successfully, and Designer Song also helped a lot, so she looked up and said to Sister May: "Please prepare a gift for me to thank Miss Song. She helped a lot."

Sister May nodded and said, "Yes, I need to thank you."

＊

The next day at noon, Song Shu received a gift from He Qianci's assistant, a branded bag.

The assistant who came to deliver the gift was also very happy. When Song Shu refused, she couldn't help but say to her, "Designer Song, you must accept this bag. Sister Qianci said that it must be delivered to you. And we staff members will also receive generous bonuses, thanks to the success of last night's concert, so Designer Song, don't refuse it."

Song Shu also read the newspaper this morning, and many newspapers reported on last night's concert.

Most newspapers were quite objective in their comments on last night's concert. After all, no one who watched the concert last night could say anything like it was unpleasant or ugly.

The newspaper headlines were full of praise, such as "Ho Chien-tzu sets new record for Hong Kong concerts!"

"Ho Chien-chi's singing skills are stunning in Hong Kong!"

"Hung Hom Concert: A Feast for Hearing and Visuals".

…

However, some entertainment newspapers criticized Ho Chien-chi's concerts for being overwhelming and polluting people's ears.

However, these reports did not cause much stir, and other Hong Kong people were tired of seeing them. On the contrary, after the concert that day, Ho Chien-chi's album sales increased even more, prompting people who were not her fans to buy her album. It can be said that she is the most popular singer in Hong Kong recently.

The clothes with rock elements that Ho Chien-chi wore at the concert were also imitated by many people, and for a while, clothes with rock elements suddenly became popular on the streets of Hong Kong.

This was something Song Shu had not expected. She had not imagined that the stage costumes she designed for He Qianci would be so popular. This shows that the cultural promotion brought by singing and dancing should not be underestimated.

Taking advantage of this small trend, Song Shu and Ms. Du also let the clothing factory produce this kind of clothing.
