Chapter 1475: Dumbfounded!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

The next day.

This news was made known.

Zhang Ye’s Studio officially announced: “Around the middle of next month, Zhang Ye will be holding his first large-scale solo concert at the National Olympic Stadium.

Time to be determined.

Ticket prices to be determined.

Guests to be determined.

The only confirmed details were the venue and the show’s name.

The concert was to be called ” A Night in Beijing ¹ “!

When this news was made known, a lot of people were dumbfounded!

“What?”

“He’s really going to hold a concert?”

“But what’s this with the venue?”

“Did I see it wrong?”

“What did he say? Olympic Stadium?”

“Fuck! Olympic Stadium?”

“That venue that can hold 100,000 people?”

“Zhang Ye must’ve gone crazy!”

“How could the authorities have approved that venue for him!”

“Can a national stadium like that allow him to host a commercial performance?”

“This has blown everything out of the water. There haven’t been any singers who’ve received such treatment before!”

The people got into fervent discussion.

There was incredible shock, as well as great anticipation!

At the studio.

Zhang Ye also saw the discussions by the netizens and the media. Simultaneously, his cell phone was noisily ringing as calls came in one after another.

Xiaodong called.

Amy and Li Xiaoxian were also with her on the line.

Xiaodong immediately said when the call connected: “How did you manage to do it?”

Zhang Ye laughed and said: “Just like that I guess.”

Amy roared: “Teacher Zhang, you can’t be like this. Our Spring Garden just finished holding a concert, and it was held at the National Indoor Stadium. We had thought it was a huge affair, but you one-upped us by securing the National Stadium for your very first show? Can that venue even be applied for? Can we apply for it too?”

Zhang Ye said: “I suppose anybody can do it.”

Amy said excitedly: “That’s great then. We’ll try to apply for it next year as well!”

On the other end, Li Xiaoxian poured cold water over her by saying: “Come on, don’t listen to Teacher Zhang’s nonsense. That venue can only be secured by him. Other people don’t stand a chance.”

Xiaodong also acknowledged: “I doubt Sister Zhang and Sister Lan can get it either.”

Amy sounded discouraged at once. “I should’ve known. Hai, if we ever get to sing at Olympic Stadium just once, my life will be fulfilled.”

At that, Zhang Ye said: “You can experience it now.”

Li Xiaoxian said: “Ah?”

Amy asked: “What do you mean?”

Zhang Ye chuckled and said: “I was going to call you guys just now. This is the first ever concert of my career, so surely you old friends of mine would have to come support me, right? It’s my first time holding a concert, and I don’t have any experience at all. This is making me really nervous, so I’ll need you guys to come and hold the fort down for me. I’m formally sending an invitation to you three right now.”

Xiaodong said in surprise: “You want us to be your show’s guests?”

Li Xiaoxian asked: “You didn’t invite Sister Zhang and Sister Lan?”

Zhang Ye laughed and said: “Old Zhang has been really elusive this past year. I’m not sure what she’s been busy with, but it has been really difficult to contact her. Sister Lan is not your traditional type of singer, and her singing style is pretty different from mine, so we can’t match on stage. No matter how I think about it, I still find you to be the best match for me. Didn’t we agree to work together on metal again back in Korea? It’s time for our heavy metal group to get back together.”

Xiaodong replied: “Haha, that won’t be a problem!”

Li Xiaoxian said: “We will definitely go and support you, Teacher Zhang!”

Amy said: “Heehee, which dynasty will we be dreaming of this time?”

Zhang Ye said: “We can dream of whichever dynasty you wish to.”

Then, Xu Meilan, Zhang Xia, Chen Guang, Fan Wenli, and several other people called to check with Zhang Ye if the news was true. Although the announcement had been made through Zhang Ye’s Studio, everyone still found it very difficult to believe when they saw the name of the venue. After confirming the news, they were also very happy for Zhang Ye. Holding a concert at Olympic Stadium once in your life would be more than enough. This was a tremendous honor and affirmation by the people.

Of course, there were some doubts within the entertainment circle itself.

“Is he even qualified?”

“It should be the other Heavenly Kings and Queens who hold their concerts there instead, shouldn’t it?”

“Based on seniority and qualifications, the other Heavenly Kings are more suited for that venue.”

“Zhang Ye’s influence is pretty big.”

“Yeah, this concert venue has indeed shocked a lot of people!”

However, those who were grumbling and talking about such things were mainly the minor celebrities and singers.

Meanwhile, the truly qualified singers and groups who were worthy of performing in front of tens of thousands of people were delighted. This news made all of them very excited as they could clearly see that Olympic Stadium was a place that no others could secure even if they tried their best to squeeze themselves in for the consideration of it!

Popularity?

Prestige?

Contacts?

Relationship with the higher-ups?

All of that was absolutely necessary for consideration!

In all of China’s entertainment industry, only Zhang Ye fulfilled these conditions. Just by his status as the Spring Festival Gala’s executive director, no one would be a match for him. Furthermore, there was also his wife’s influence to consider, so Zhang Ye was really the only person who had a chance with this venue. And then? With this precedent, it would make things easier for everyone else. With him leading by example, it would become easier for other qualified singers to apply to perform at Olympic Stadium in the future. Therefore, this was definitely a good thing. Upon seeing this, many of the A-list celebrity teams quickly reacted and began preparing their applications for the next year.

Online.

Zhang Ye’s fans started requesting songs to be played at the concert.

“I want to hear ‘The King of Karaoke!'”

“I want to hear ‘I’m Just a Little Bird!'”

“Haha, I want to see him sing ‘Small Apple.’ That will definitely raise the atmosphere!”

“Will there be any new songs?”

“There will definitely be some. How can Zhang Ye’s concert not have any new songs?”

“I’m looking forward to it!”

“How do we purchase the tickets?”

“They’re not on sale yet.”

“There will be nearly 100,000 tickets available, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get one!”

“Motherfucker, I’ve got to go to Beijing to catch Zhang Ye’s concert this time! I’m a hardcore fan of his!”

“A stadium with 100,000 people all listening to Zhang Ye sing solo. My God, just thinking about it is making my blood race! I wonder what kind of atmosphere it will be!”

At the studio.

Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others went about settling their tasks.

As Zhang Ye sat there alone, he began pondering the concert’s setlist and the song arrangements. He also considered the requests of the netizens with regards to the songs they liked. As for the classic songs he had performed before, he would definitely have to sing a few of them too. However, he had no idea what new songs he should be performing, although there wasn’t any urgency and was something he could slowly consider. He wouldn’t want to choose anything unsuitable, after all. This would be his first concert and also his last outing before he bade a temporary farewell to the entertainment circle, so it would definitely have to be done well.

It would be best if he could use this to get into the Asian S-list.

But it wasn’t going to be easy since he was still quite a ways away from it.

Zhang Ye was very stubborn and still had his mind on this matter. He was someone who pursued perfection. He would always want to do the best he could and succeed in one try. If he could, he would spare no effort in taking one last shot at his goal. To a celebrity, the rankings index was essentially their battlefield!

So he kept thinking about this over the next few days.

His family was also very supportive of his work. His parents-in-law told him they would take care of Wu Zeqing in the coming days at their home so that Zhang Ye would have time to prepare his best for his concert. There would be plenty of time for him to take care of his wife and child in the future anyway.

Buying the equipment.

Setting up the venue.

Choosing songs.

Preparations for the concert were underway.

They had officially started the countdown to the largest concert in the history of Asia!
