The Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium in Beijing was built in 1994 and completed in 1999. As the main venue of the Beijing Olympic Games in 2000, it was the largest in the world at that time.
More than a decade later, this magnificent stadium is still among the world's first-class. A lot of equipment was replaced during the renovation and maintenance in 2013, and the internal facilities are still not outdated.
Generally speaking, those who can hold a solo concert in the Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium are either world-class stars or domestic big shots. There is a popular saying in the pop music industry — If you have the ability, go to the Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium to sing!
On September 22, Chen Fei 'er's Fei Tong Fan Xiang's solo concert was held in the Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium.
This was not the first time she sang in the Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium, but from the Queen of Sweet Songs to the Queen of Love Songs, this concert, which was nearly a year late, was very important to her.
In fact, the preparatory work began a few months ago. The top performance company in Beijing was hired, and they took the shortcut to get the approval permit to perform in the Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium.
As a place that had once attracted the attention of the world, the Olympic Five Rings Stadium usually did not receive many performances. There were strict requirements in all aspects. The first rule for celebrities who were qualified to stand on the stage inside was that they could not have any obvious misdeeds. For example, people who cheated, drove drunk, took drugs, or visited prostitutes, they should get as far away from them as possible.
Therefore, although the entertainment industry was noisy and chaotic, the real top stars often paid great attention to their personal image. Most of them could keep themselves clean. Otherwise, there would be many places that closed the door to them.
The Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium could accommodate a total of 120,000 spectators, but because of the overall layout, no more than 100,000 tickets could be sold.
But this was already a very amazing figure. According to the lowest price of 128 yuan, 100,000 tickets would be 12.8 million. Of course, it was difficult to sell all 100,000 tickets. It would be very successful if more than 70% of the seats were occupied.
Only a very small number of the top stars would be able to have the grand occasion of a full house.
Imagine standing on a brightly lit stage with 100,000 spectators cheering for you. The flashing screens were as dazzling as the stars in the night sky. How dazzling would that be?
For a singer, this was probably the highest goal in life!
Tickets for Chen Fei 'er's [Fei Tong Fan Xiang] solo concert began to be pre-sold more than a month ago. With a certain number of complimentary tickets, it could reach about 80% of the seats, which meant that 80,000 spectators would be present.
Although there was still a gap from the domestic record of more than 100,000 audience/single concert, it was enough to make 99.99% of singers feel inferior and envious!
The concert officially started at 7 o 'clock in the afternoon, and at 4 o' clock in the afternoon, most of the seats were already occupied.
It was not easy to hold a sing-along at the Olympic Stadium. The security issue alone involved many aspects. It was not something that could be settled with money. Connections and resources were indispensable.
To put it bluntly, Chen Fei'er had the ability and qualifications to sing in the Olympic Fifth Ring Stadium. If it were Lu Chen, he would also have the ability, but he was still a little less qualified.
Of course, Lu Chen would appear on the stage that everyone was watching tonight.
As a special guest.
It was normal for stars to invite friends in the circle to support them when they held a concert. The identity of the guest was often very mysterious. It was strictly kept secret before the appearance as a highlight of the publicity, and then it would surprise the audience.
However, for the first concert of Chen Fei'er's solo concert in Beijing, the guest was confirmed to be Lu Chen. It was only kept secret for the subsequent concerts in Shanghai, Shenhai, and Shancheng.
Therefore, fans knew in advance, which was one of the reasons why the concert tickets sold so well.
The number of Lu Chen's fans was not much smaller than that of Chen Fei'er. Although there was a big overlap, it was still able to attract some of Chen Fei'er's fans.
At this moment, the stadium was already bustling with people. Countless light sticks in the audience seats were like stars in the sky. Fluorescent screens with Chen Fei'er's name were held high, as if they could summon Chen Fei'er in advance.
In the backstage dressing room, Chen Fei'er, who had finished dressing, was sitting on the sofa with Lu Chen.
The first costume of the Heavenly Queen of Singing was a gorgeous long dress. She rarely put on makeup, which gave her a different kind of sexy beauty, but her little hands were a little cold.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Chen held her hand and asked with concern, "Are you nervous?"
Chen Fei'er shook her head, then nodded and said, "A little bit. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake."
For a Heavenly Queen of Singing who had made her debut for more than ten years and held many concerts, she shouldn't have such emotions. But the significance of today's concert was particularly different for Chen Fei'er.
In the past, Chen Fei'er was the famous Queen of Sweet Songs, but now she had transformed into the Queen of Love Songs. Despite the fact that "Woman Flower" had sold more than 4 million copies, this concert was still one of the most important milestones in her singing career.
If she screwed up, it would be an unforgivable mistake for Chen Fei'er.
She had been preparing for this concert for a whole year!
So, Chen Fei'er was nervous.
Lu Chen understood.
He thought for a moment, got up and went out to get a guitar.
"It's still early. I'll sing a song for you."
Chen Fei'er smiled and said, "Actually … you don't have to do this. I can control myself. Well, you can sing."
She felt the sweetness from the heart.
Because of Lu Chen's gentleness and consideration.
Lu Chen sat down next to Chen Fei'er with the guitar in his arms. After testing the sound, he plucked the strings.
He sang the song "When You're Old".
"When you're old, your hair is white, and you're drowsy."
"When you're old, and you can't walk anymore, and you take a nap by the fire, and you remember your youth."
"How many loved you in your youth, how many admired your beauty, whether they were sincere or fake, but only one person still loves your pious soul …"
Chen Fei'er listened quietly, feeling the emotions contained in the lyrics. Unconsciously, the anxiety in her heart disappeared without a trace, and something warm filled her heart.
She couldn't help leaning her head gently on Lu Chen's shoulder, smelling the familiar smell. She wanted time to stop at this moment forever, and never go forward again.
Until the door of the room was knocked.
The assistant opened the door and poked his head in. "Sister Fei'er, it's almost time to go on stage."
Chen Fei'er stood up. She seemed to have been reborn. Her face was glowing, and there was no longer any fear in her bright eyes. She was full of confidence.
This was the real Chen Fei'er!
