Chapter 242: Angry Han Zhou and the End of Rock
Is this Han Zhou's nth time coming to Los Angeles?
Anyway, it feels very familiar.
Han Zhou didn't feel anything about this concert.
The Chinese fans in Los Angeles are going crazy!
It’s finally here, I’ve been waiting for so many years!
The last time Chen Feng held a concert in Los Angeles was more than ten years ago.
Zhang Ceyong is a little closer, and seven or eight years have passed.
Lin Xiaoxing has never been to Los Angeles for a concert.
Chinese fans all over California were very excited. When everyone calculated, there was just enough space for everyone in the 80,000-seat stadium.
However, when they were waiting to buy the tickets, the situation was completely different from what they had imagined.
The web page started to freeze the first second the tickets were released.
The seventh minute card ends.
Then, no tickets.
The reason is that, on many music forums in the United States, it is rumored that this is Han Zhou's first concert in the United States, and also An Lan's first appearance in the United States after her sudden fame.
How popular is "Hello"? Since the official version of this song was released, it has been ranked first on the Billboard for nine consecutive weeks.
A whole quarter.
Currently, the song is ranked third on the Billboard chart.
In the United States, a song this popular has actually made her a queen.
It’s just that this queen doesn’t come to the United States, so it’s almost like she doesn’t perform on weekdays.
Not to mention anything else, just to join in the fun, many people can't control their hands.
As early as three months ago, many people started working multiple odd jobs to raise money to prepare for the ticket rush.
As for Han Zhou's fans, they were even more organized and planned in their efforts to grab tickets.
Chinese fans have a question.
That is, they usually don’t use the American ticket-grabbing websites.
Wuliuba’s own ticketing system currently does not have an English version, so the concert’s ticketing partner is actually the original online ticketing partner .
American fans are very familiar with this website, but local Chinese fans have hardly used it at all, probably only using it when watching "Nezha".
How to grab?
In the end, the Chinese Music Forum originally expected 30,000 people to express their intention to grab tickets, and about 80,000 people were expected to grab tickets. However, only 7,000 of the 30,000 people who expressed their intention were able to grab tickets.
"What the hell?"
"Turtle is a little angry?!"
“Is it so hard to get tickets, now?”
"Why are these damn Americans joining in the fun?"
The die is cast.
Han Zhou had not paid any attention to this matter in the past few months. He learned the result from Chen Feng when he arrived at the hotel.
Chen Feng: "My fans' representatives protested, saying that they couldn't buy any tickets. All the tickets were snatched up by your and An Lan's fans."
Han Zhou shrugged: "I didn't steal this."
Chen Feng: "How about holding another one?"
Han Zhou: "I'm really not free, I asked for leave!"
Chen Feng: "That can't be helped."
Then he turned to look at his assistant and said, "You took the photo, send it to the fan club. I can't do anything about it."
Han Zhou and his companions are actually facing other difficulties now.
In the past few days, the movements of some pro-Chinese organizations in Los Angeles have been unclear.
When China hosted the World Games before, these bastards were causing trouble.
This time, these bastards want to cause trouble again.
Zhang Ceyong is actually quite worried about this issue, because now is the Internet age and everything spreads very quickly.
There were many internet celebrities from China at the scene.
If something goes wrong at that time, even though it is not your fault, it will still have a bad impact.
In particular, the patriotic enthusiasm of domestic fans is very strong.
So when they learned that a large number of foreign fans would enter the venue, many fans from China and local Chinese fans prepared to enter carrying red flags.
This will definitely cause those dog organizations to cause trouble.
Han Zhou gave three solutions.
First, ask the police to seal off the block.
But this means that many fans who didn't buy tickets but wanted to listen to the concert outside the stadium will not be able to come.
Second, find Darf, contact local security, and strengthen security.
Third, find Yuri and get a group of people over here. When you see these people from this dog organization, beat them up.
After Han Zhou finished talking about his plan, Chen Feng and the other two discussed it and felt that the second plan was more reliable.
It just costs a little more money.
But the concert tickets in the United States are expensive. Even if more money is spent on security, it will not be a loss, but the profit will be less. However, it is still more profitable than holding a concert in China.
Han Zhou told this to Darf temporarily, and Darf immediately took the job and quickly found a security company.
With the concert just one day away, the stadium was packed with people.
Because only 80,000 people bought tickets, but there were too many people who didn't.
These people came to the stadium to take a look, which also caused a sharp increase in security pressure in the vicinity.
But something happened at night.
Many people from China thought this was China and were still wandering around the stadium late at night.
Then he was beaten.
It’s unclear whether it was those Dogecoins who did it or the local robbers.
They were unfamiliar with the place and could only ask people from the fan organization.
I don’t know anyone from the fan organization, so I can only ask the official concert team.
After asking this question, Han Zhou and his companions knew about it.
In the United States, although the fans are rich and Han Zhou has many fans, there is clearly a pro-China sentiment in American society.
When interviewed, these passers-by could not say how China had offended them, but they just felt that China was dangerous.
The news from their media, such as the BBC, is bound to have this result.
Amid this sentiment, many large local institutions are actually unwilling to cooperate.
Even if many are neutral, they are just waiting for problems to arise with a wait-and-see attitude.
Chen Feng and his companions are not familiar with this place, but there are some people who are very familiar with this place.
This person is Tianle’s co-shareholder, the film emperor Zhang Qingyun.
Han Zhou knew that Zhang Qingyun had settled here ten years ago and had a wife and children here.
However, what Han Zhou didn't know was that in order to leave some property for his children, Zhang Qingyun had been constantly in contact with upper-class people here for the past ten years. Many of the people he knew now had extraordinary identities, including some parliamentarians.
After Wang Xiya learned about the incident, she went to find Zhang Qingyun. After Zhang Qingyun contacted Han Zhou, he told his friends about the incident.
Then, the Los Angeles police stated that these organizations would definitely not come to cause trouble during the concert.
To put it bluntly, the police knew exactly who these people were, but they didn't bother to do anything about it.
After someone from above gave the order, they hurriedly went to warn everyone, and naturally no one dared to cause trouble.
It was a great thing that Zhang Qingyun took action to solve the problem, and Han Zhou remembered this favor.
However, Han Zhou still had his own ideas. It would be most appropriate to ask Yuri to do this, but Han Zhou didn't want to have too much contact with Yuri.
On the day of the concert, the venue was packed with people.
Backstage, Wang Xiya, Wang Chuyang and the others were all there.
Liu Yiling and the others also came over.
An Lan still had to sing, but since the fans were too crazy, in order to avoid any problems, she couldn't go to the seating area and had to stay backstage.
As the concert began, there was thunderous applause.
in the country, people usually only have fun at night when they are surrounded by strangers.
Many young people here don't have this feeling. When Lin Xiaoxing was singing his signature love song, the foreign fans below were actually dancing.
Lin Xiaoxing was stunned by the look.
In fact, this thing is called native language shyness or native language embarrassment.
A very classic expression is that with the same lines, the same pictures, and the same soundtrack, Chinese people feel very excited when watching Japanese anime, but feel a bit childish when watching Chinese anime.
In fact, when the Japanese people watch their own anime, they also feel shy about speaking their native language.
Many people at the scene would not dance when listening to their own country's love songs, but when they listened to Lin Xiaoxing singing, even though they didn't understand what he was singing, they thought the rhythm and melody were interesting, so they started dancing.
Lin Xiaoxing was shocked.
Why are these foreigners more excited than domestic fans?
The domestic and Chinese fans at the scene were all stunned.
This situation became even worse after Chen Feng took the stage!
Chen Feng's songs are all rock and roll, with rhythm, melody and passion. Even though they don't understand the lyrics, foreign fans dance like crazy.
I originally thought that with so many foreign fans, the Chinese songs they sang might not be understood and the audience might lose interest.
Who knew that this was actually an oil pan or a hot pot.
After the ten songs were finished, An Lan came on stage and sang "Hello" by Cinderella. The domestic singers all felt that this song was really suitable for having fun, but the foreign fans who came to the scene specifically to listen to this song were very quiet.
Many people burst into tears, but they just didn't have any fun.
There were quite a few people screaming and wanting to rush onto the stage.
Are you kidding? With several times the security, can they rush over?
After An Lan finished singing the song, she left the stage with a smile.
The song is out of control.
Many people were shouting for an encore and a return.
Of course it was impossible for him to return to the stage, so Han Zhou went on stage carrying a guitar.
The fans at the scene
An Lan ran away, and only Han Zhou could calm them down. After all, they were also looking forward to Han Zhou's performance.
Han Zhou on the stage said in English: "I originally wrote a song to be interactive with the whole audience."
Fans at the concert: “Wow!!”
Han Zhou continued: "Let's not sing that song now, let's sing another one."
The fans at the scene exploded immediately.
Holy shit, I wrote a song that everyone was interacting with, and now I don’t want to play it anymore? Change it? Why!!
Han Zhou continued: "Because recently many people have been causing trouble at our concerts and have attacked some fans from our home country."
“I wasn’t too happy about it, so I wrote a song about it.”
If it were someone else, they might say they were very angry.
But Han Zhou didn't do that. Han Zhou's actions are more reliable than words.
The fans must be very angry that a song that could have allowed the whole audience to interact was replaced.
When fans are angry, they take it out.
Where do you vent your anger?
The answer is obvious.
It’s not the first time that Han Zhou has played tricks, but he rarely does this to his fans.
But this is the United States after all, and this is how it is here, so just do as the Romans do!
Han Zhou on the stage looked around and saw all the band members giving a thumbs up, indicating that they were ready.
This song was just played. Fortunately, Chen Feng's band is very professional. If it were another band, they might not be able to complete the performance.
Han Zhou leaned closer to the microphone: "Zombie"
The word zombie comes from a small country in Central America and means a soulless person who was resurrected by witchcraft.
In the development of popular culture, it gradually came to refer to "zombies".
Of course, if it comes to Chinese culture, it means "zombies".
If this word is used to describe a real-life scenario, it should be "the walking dead" or "numb people".
Han Zhou still remembers that there was an American TV series called "The Walking Dead", which was translated into "The Walking Dead". In fact, this was a wrong translation.
"The Walking Dead" means that you will die wherever you go, but it does not reach the depth of thinking of "The Walking Dead".
As soon as the name of this song 'zombie' came out, the audience was confused.
Han Zhou did not explain, but instead the screen behind him gave the Chinese translation of the song, "The Executioner".
Yes, the song is about The Walking Dead actually angrily asking The Executioner.
"Zombies? What do you mean?"
“So, this is a song about The Walking Dead?”
"Swearing on the spot? I like it. You are worthy of being the Howler - Han Gad!"
But they were all wrong. "Zombie" was the representative work of the Cranberries in their previous life.
The Cranberries band originally started out singing youth campus love songs.
At the beginning of this song, they gave up talking about love and turned to caring about the world.
It is also because of this that they almost dominated the entire 1990s.
Both the popularity of the single and the album sales are extremely terrifying.
And this song "Zombie" was once the number one rock song of that era.
All those familiar rock songs are no match for this song.
Most Chinese people must have heard this song, but they just don't know its name.
On the stage, string music started playing, and when the drum set began, the style of hard rock began to emerge.
The fans found out it was actually a rock song and went crazy.
However, some people are puzzled: "Han Shen's songs are all songs that care about the world. Now he writes rock songs. Although it expresses his attitude, doesn't it fall down in level?"
Rock music is popular in the United States, but compared to rock music, folk music and instrumental music are considered high-end in the hearts of fans.
This situation exists in many countries around the world. Rock music has become commercialized enough, but some fans still feel that it is not commercial enough and not pure enough.
The fans nearby: "Who is he? He is the God of Korea, let's get excited and listen!"
Han Zhou was on the stage, playing guitar. He didn't look at the fans, but looked up at the sky above the stadium:
“Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
Another head is hanging down
The children were gradually being taken away
It is violence that brings such silence
Who is the culprit? "
It's an intense rock song, but it's sung in a very soft way.
However , the lyrics are creepy.
Han Zhou knew that the next sentence would reach the ears of passers-by fans around the world within three days.
Han Zhou didn't care whether the singing technique of the song was accurate or not, but just played the guitar and looked at the sky.
“But you see it's not me
it's not my family
In your head
in your head they are fightin'
But you saw it with your own eyes, it wasn't me
Not my family either.
In your mind
They are killing each other!!!"
In this rock song, there are no problems, no questions raised, no answers, only phenomena.
However, every line of the lyrics is asking a question, the same question.
'What the hell is going on in your fucking dog head? What are you thinking? What are you thinking? You executioner.'
"Using their tank artillery
And their steel guns and copper bullets
In your head they are crying
In your mind, in your mind
The Walking Dead! The Walking Dead! The Walking Dead!
What's in your head?
in your head
Zombie zombie Zombie-ie-ie-ie! "
first.
It was the first time that there was such an intense rock song with such an excellent and beautiful melody, and 80,000 people at the scene were unable to make a sound.
No one responded.
It seemed as if Han Zhou was not singing rock at this moment, but singing "The Sound of Silence" or "Castro Market".
Han Zhou is still the same Han Zhou.
Amid such intense and high-pitched singing, no one dared to cheer.
On the contrary, some fans from China who couldn’t understand English were very excited by the song.
Shaking his legs and jumping around.
This is called mother tongue embarrassment.
All the fans at the scene were lost in thought over the simple lyrics.
"Another mother's heart is broken
All her hopes were dead.
When violence leads to a deathly silence
We are all to blame!"
The lyrics may make many people think, what does the war in the world have to do with me?
But that's not right, why didn't Han Zhou sing a Chinese song with similar lyrics?
Han Zhou sang in English, singing for the fans from the perspective of the fans at the scene.
If you turn a blind eye to things that do not concern you, then the destruction of this world, the disasters of this world, and the end of this world have nothing to do with you, right?
It’s just like how Americans have taught the Chinese how to do things countless times through cultural exports.
Han Zhou taught Americans how to think through countless songs.
Even without me asking any questions, no one can find an excuse to ban my lyrics.
Even if someone wants to stop it, they can only watch the song sweep the world in the next three days.
However, the death of the lead singer of The Cranberries in the previous life was exactly the same as Chaplin's. After Han Zhou came up with this song, he had to pay attention to his own security.
But Han Zhou is also a little different, because China is not Ireland!
"This is the same tragedy that has happened since 1916.
In your head, they're killing each other
Use their tank cannons
And their steel guns and copper bullets..."
In the original song, 1916 refers to the year in which a law was implemented by England to oppress Ireland. It was also the year in which England brutally killed all the people in an Irish organization, even including two children.
The Cranberries, who were born in Ireland, wrote a song like countless top singers and songwriters to vent their anger and criticize the Anglo-Saxons, and made it popular all over the world.
Of course, scolding these singers is not very useful, but at least they were scolded.
As long as there are singers from generation to generation who keep writing songs like this, this matter will never end and Ansa will never succeed.
I’m afraid that one day all the singers will be cowards, then the entertainment in this world will really be just entertainment.
As for Blue Star, the First World War took place in 1916, so Han Zhou did not change any words and sang it exactly as it was.
The senses it gives people are a little broader than the original.
The audience in the audience finally spoke up at this time.
Seventy percent of the 80,000 fans were from the United States, and they began to scream, shout, and worship, venting their anger.
Has the world changed?
The global illiteracy rate is getting lower and lower, all countries are flaunting their civilization, and the era when people could live by robbing seems to have passed.
After experiencing two world-destroying wars, there are still some stupid people who have not learned their lesson and are stirring up trouble everywhere, causing trouble everywhere, and instigating wars everywhere.
Since the Second World War, the number of days without war in this world is less than two months.
Warmongers, executioners, creating corpses.
Creating tragedy.
It is stripping away human thinking and creating a numb world.
Let me introduce "zombie" again, note 1, numb people, the walking dead, zombies, executioners, the final interpretation: the tragedy caused by the warmongers hidden in the sewers.
"In your mind, they are lingering
In your mind, in your mind
People are like the walking dead! The walking dead! The walking dead!
What's going on in your mind?
The Walking Dead! The Walking Dead! The Walking Dead!
In your head in your head they are dyin'
In your head In your head
Zombie zombie zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head in your head
Zombie zombie Zombie-ie-ie-ie…”
Han Zhou brought the best song of the 1990s to the world.
A song that wanted to change the world, but didn't change the world at all.
Because not enough people have heard it.
Because there are still many people who cannot look directly into their own hearts.
There are countless people who do not realize how important the life of an unknown human being across the world is.
The world cares about dog lives.
The world cares whether or not lobsters feel pain when they die.
The world cares about all sorts of weird, inexplicable, forbidden egoists with pathetic and pathetic fabricated genders.
No one cares that someone is using conspiracy and trickery to cover up a brutal murder.
It's just that no one cares, people are dying.
insensitive.
These dog organizations have no life, no brains, no morals, only conspiracy.
But it doesn’t matter, we’re watching.
No one promoted it before, but now I am here.
Han Zhou thought about singing "Bohemian Rhapsody", but although this song expressed a lot, just like serious literature, he only dared to ask questions and did not dare to confront them. In the end, his cowardice cost him everything.
Han Zhou initially thought about singing "We will we will rock you" today.
But this song, which was translated as "We Will Shock You", would be better translated as "I'm Going to Fuck You with Stones" to make Han Zhou feel more comfortable on this occasion.
Han Zhou looked up at the sky and understood why so many rock veterans were so angry.
Han Zhou took a step forward and just sang this song. It was rock and roll, it was rock and roll enough, and it had already reached the limit of rock and roll's anger.
Chen Feng in the backstage looked at Han Zhou blankly.
Chen Feng knew that Han Zhou liked to play with musical diversity. This kind of angry rock was not usually an option for Han Zhou, so how could he write it and sing it?
But at this moment, Chen Feng knew that beneath Han Zhou's joking appearance, there were some untouchable bottom lines deep in his heart.
"Too anxious." Chen Feng said.
Zhang Ceyong knew that Han Zhou would definitely take his own path and surpass himself, not only becoming the number one king in China, but also the number one king in the world.
But Zhang Ceyong didn't expect Han Zhou to be so radical.
After thinking about it, Chuck Yong sighed.
Just like Chen Feng said, it was too hasty.
If Han Zhou's fans are all over North America, and his crazy fans number in the millions or tens of millions, then using songs like this to guide these people to "be a human being" should have a greater effect.
And today's song may make many people realize that Han Zhou came to the United States not only to make money, but also to spread certain cultures, cultures that some people do not want to see.
Han Zhou on the stage looked at the starry sky and said, "That's it for this song. There's one more song..."
The audience stopped abruptly amidst the thunderous shouts and cheers.
Looking at Han Zhou on the stage: "I won't sing anymore."
Han Zhou didn't want one of his songs to affect the popularity of this song.
The whole audience was stunned.
Han Zhou: "I rarely sing songs I've sung before on stage. This time, I'll sing "Castro Market". I won't sing the two songs I prepared before. They will be included in my album this year. If you're interested, come and listen to them."
"Feel sorry."
Although he said sorry, the audience screamed, cheered, applauded, were shocked, and went crazy to the point of fainting.
Han Shen, the eternal god in the music world, is going to release an album!!!
