Chapter 989 1089. Temporary Change
"Wow, why are there so many people?" Shi Xiaojing couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the huge crowd in front of her.
The girl is only 24 years old this year. She has not worked at Huayi for a full year since graduating from college. This is also her first business trip to the United States.
She has heard of and watched music festivals, but in the past, she watched them on the computer and watched those domestic music festivals. The live audiences of those music festivals she saw on the video were sparse, with only a few thousand people at most.
But at this moment, in front of her, the huge square was crowded with people, and Sister Wei on the side excitedly told her that there were more than 100,000 fans at the scene!
100,000 people, she had never seen so many people gathered together since she was a child. The most she had seen was a concert of Jaylen, which was a concert of 30,000 people. The scene left a deep impression on her.
She didn't expect that a music festival could attract more than 100,000 audiences.
"It's amazing, isn't it? The American Music Festival is one of the three major music festivals in the world, and it's not one of those small-scale music festivals in China." I heard that many big-name European and American singers will come to perform. There will be a guest every day, and the total duration of one week is a carnival day for American fans and singers!" Liu Wei held Shi Xiaojing's hand, and used the knowledge she found on Baidu last night to show off to this two-month younger sister.
The team that came to North America with Shu Chang had more than 20 people in total, but not many people came to the scene today, only five people.
And they were all young people in their twenties. The rest of the people were either resting in the hotel or going out shopping together.
Among the five people who came, there were three men and two women. The three boys said they would protect Liu Wei and Shi Xiaojing at the door, but they separated automatically not long after entering the venue. Before the boys disappeared, Liu Wei heard them say they were going to see Eminem...
"These boys are really unreliable, they are all big pigs! "Liu Wei tightened Shi Xiaojing's hand, thinking dissatisfiedly.
"Sister Wei, is our President Nie the guest of honor today?" Shi Xiaojing asked with stars in her eyes after hearing Liu Wei's words. In her eyes, the overbearing president of her own company is definitely a superstar, and he should be the singer of the day.
She didn't care that Nie Wei had never released an album, and was not even a suitable singer.
"Tsk." Just as Shi Xiaojing finished speaking, a sneer came from the side.
The two girls turned their heads with angry eyes and saw a man who was obviously Asian, looking at Shi Xiaojing with a mocking expression.
"Girl, your idea is ridiculous." What Shi Xiaojing didn't expect was that this man not only looked at them with mockery, but also mocked them directly.
His Chinese was not fluent or standard, but Shi Xiaojing and Liu Wei understood what he meant. This was a naked mockery.
"Why are you like this? "Shi Xiaojing felt a little aggrieved and angry, thinking that this guy insulted her idol, but she didn't know how to curse harshly because she had a good upbringing. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said this.
Liu Wei on the side seemed more powerful. She first protected Shi Xiaojing behind her, then glared at the guy who suddenly appeared and said, "This is our private topic. Isn't it very rude for you to interrupt so rashly?"
"Sorry, I just think the jokes you told are funny. As for the director Nie Wei, I admit that his movies are great, but here, he counts for everything. How about we make a bet on whether Nie Wei will be booed when he goes on stage? If I win, you two can go to the bar with me for a drink tonight. "The man narrowed his eyes, and his eyes scanned Liu Wei and Shi Xiaojing dishonestly.
Especially for the tall Shi Xiaojing, his eyes did not hide his inner desire at all.
Liu Wei frowned, ready to pull Shi Xiaojing away from here. It was not that she had no confidence in Nie Wei, but she felt that if she continued to entangle with such a disgusting person, she would only disgust herself, so it was best to turn a blind eye.
"Hey, I bet with you!" Just as Liu Wei was about to leave with Shi Xiaojing, another voice sounded next to them. The two turned around and saw a black man who was probably in his twenties or thirties saying to the Asian man who had just mocked them.
"Who are you? "The Asian man looked at the black guy who suddenly appeared with some anger. He was very upset that he looked like a hero saving a beautiful girl. What made him even more upset was that when he proposed the "bet", he actually looked confident.
"Don't worry about who I am. Open your eyes and watch Nie Wei's stage. He will make you understand that all your dirty ideas are bullshit. Even if he is not the singer who dominates the stage, he must be the most dazzling tonight! "Rex pointed at the Asian man and said loudly.
After he knew that Nie Wei would perform LIVE at the National Music Festival, he had already decided to watch Nie Wei's performance.
But he didn't expect that he would hear someone mocking Nie Wei as soon as he came in. This was too much. Rex could be said to be Nie Wei's "iron fan" now. When his idol was insulted, of course he had to stand up at the first time.
Rex looked aggressive, which made the Asian man who had just faced the girl with a fierce look shrink back. After all, Rex's height of more than 1.9 meters and weight of at least 200 kilograms were really intimidating.
Watching the Asian man run away in disgrace, Rex blew a loud whistle proudly.
"Sir, thank you." Liu Wei and Shi Xiaojing did not leave. Watching Rex drive away the Asian man, they immediately stepped forward to thank him.
"Girls, you're welcome. After all, we have the same idol. This is what I should do." Rex waved his hand and said.
When Shi Xiaojing heard that Rex was also a fan of Nie Wei, she immediately found a common topic and asked immediately: "Do you also like Nie Wei?"
"Oh, you're right." Rex raised his eyebrows and replied: "But to be precise, what I like is Nie Wei's music. He is really like a treasure. I dare to swear that if Nie Wei If he wants to enter the music industry, he will definitely become the greatest singer of the 21st century, well... at least one of them."
Rex's words came completely from the heart.
If "SUMMER-FUNK" introduced him to Nie Wei, then after he curiously searched for the songs composed by Nie Wei, he realized how terrifying this man's musical talent was.
From love songs to rock, from ballads to jazz, from majestic palace soundtracks to tender ditties, it can be said that for the past month, Rex has been completely immersed in the charm of the music created by Nie Wei and cannot extricate himself.
In his words, Nie Wei is a music magician from the East, and he is also the kind of magic god-level figure who possesses all elements of earth, wind, water, fire and thunder.
"Do you really think so? I also think Mr. Nie's songs are very nice. It's a pity that he doesn't always write songs. He only writes a few songs when Sister Alan or Sister Liangying releases an album."
"What did you call him, Mr. Nie? Are you..." Rex asked.
"We are from Huayi Company, Nie Wei's company. We are all employees of Nie Wei's company. My name is Shi Xiaojing, and this is Liu Wei.
"Shi Xiaojing pulled Liu Wei and introduced him without any precautions. Liu Wei could only smile bitterly. She wanted to stop Shi Xiaojing, but this girl was so quick to talk.
Fortunately, Rex didn't have any bad intentions, especially knowing that the two of them were from Nie Wei's company, he became even more enthusiastic.
"I have also cooperated with your company. Just a month ago, the boss of your company, Nie Wei, authorized me to play "SUMMER-FUNK" so that I can play it for free in my live broadcast room. This song of his.”
"You don't know, because of this song, the number of people in my live broadcast room exceeded 100,000. I am very grateful to Nie Wei. He made my career reach a higher level."
Because of Nie Wei, the two sides had a common topic, and their familiarity quickly increased.
Half an hour later, Rex had become the temporary bodyguard of Shi Xiaojing and Liu Wei, and the reward was an autograph from Nie Wei. This was the only thing Shi Xiaojing could do. After all, first come first served, so they would live with Nie Wei. In a hotel, it is very simple to ask for an autograph.
"Don't worry, Nie Wei won't be on stage for at least two hours. Although he is not today's popular singer, the organizers do not dare to neglect him. I know through internal information that Nie Wei is ranked one ahead of the popular singer. Come out." Rex led the two girls to the stage, and explained specifically because he was worried that they would be impatient.
"Then who is the singer today?" Shi Xiaojing asked curiously.
"It should be JAY-Z." Rex replied. During the seven-day music festival, the singers are different every day. For example, yesterday the finale was Eminem.
"I don't know him." Shi Xiaojing was confused after hearing the name.
"..." Rex looked at Shi Xiaojing as if he were looking at an alien. In his opinion, are there people in this world who don't know JAY-Z?
"Do you know his wife Beyoncé?" After thinking about it, Rex asked again.
"I know, I know this." When Shi Xiaojing heard Beyoncé's name, she immediately nodded, indicating that she knew. Rex was relieved when he saw that Shi Xiaojing was not an alien.
The music festival not only has a music stage, but also many businesses have flocked to serve the fans at the scene.
Rex took Shi Xiaojing and Liu Wei to buy Coke and hamburgers. Under Shi Xiaojing's strong suggestion, he also bought some silver-white support bracelets. This is the exclusive color chosen by Nie Wei fans for Nie Wei.
Looking at the silver-white bracelet on her wrist, Shi Xiaojing felt delighted.
She feels that she is really lucky. She has been a fan of Nie Wei for almost ten years. From the time she was a junior high school girl to graduating from college, she was lucky enough to join Huayi and now she can even go on a 'tour' with Nie Wei. I feel that those who pursue stars to this extent can be regarded as great people.
At this time, in the lounge backstage, Nie Wei was also recharging his energy and preparing for a performance.
"Are you going to look in front later?" Nie Wei asked Xiang Shuchang.
"Of course I'm going." Shu Chang smiled and nodded. Although she didn't like making noise, Nie Wei was performing on the stage. As Nie Wei's wife, she naturally had to fully support her husband. In her opinion, this was Responsibility is love.
"Then I'll ask Cheng Zimo and the others to protect you. There are too many people, so you should pay attention to your safety." Nie Wei said.
There are 100,000 people at the venue. It would be a joke to keep things in order, not to mention that when the fans hear the excitement, even order will become disorderly.
Every year at the American Music Festival, many people get injured or even lose their lives due to crowding. Nie Wei doesn't want this to happen to Shu Chang.
Shu Chang did not reject Nie Wei's concern, and she was indeed afraid of being squeezed by others. With Cheng Zimo and others protecting her, Shu Chang also felt a little safe.
When Nie Wei came to the backstage, the staff came to explain the order of appearance. Just as Rex guessed, Nie Wei was on stage before JAY-Z, and was also the second most important guest tonight.
Although Nie Wei is not a singer, his status and fame are very big after all. The organizer's arrangement is also a kind of respect for Nie Wei.
"It's your turn after two more singers, right?" Shu Chang, who was watching the live broadcast with Nie Wei, was also counting the order of appearance for Nie Wei in his heart.
"That's right." Nie Wei nodded, and was a little confused. Logically, it should be the staff who notified him to prepare for the appearance.
The singer on the stage finished singing a song, but Nie Wei still did not receive any notification from the staff backstage. Even when Shu Chang felt something was wrong, someone finally knocked on the door.
"Mr. Nie Wei, I'm sorry, the order of your performance may need to be adjusted in advance." After the staff entered the room, they apologized and said to Nie Wei.
Just as the staff explained the reason to Nie Wei, Shi Xiaojing and Rex at the scene were no longer thinking about the singer who was singing hard on the stage.
Because according to the order, the next singer to go on stage is Nie Wei.
"I have seen Nie Wei's live video. He is a cool guy. His live performance is great. I think as long as he can exert 70% of his strength today, it will not be a problem to ignite these 100,000 people." While Nie Wei was not on stage yet, Rex and the two girls beside him praised Nie Wei again.
Shi Xiaojing's eyes were shining at this time. She had never heard Nie Wei's live performance. She just heard from the company's seniors that Nie Wei's live performance was as exciting and explosive as he wanted.
The more fiercely the seniors praised, the more Shi Xiaojing wanted to hear Nie Wei's live performance.
It's just a pity that Nie Wei rarely goes back to the stage to perform. Except for the family New Year's Eve concert at the end of the year and the summer concert of Wuchao, Nie Wei is not keen on participating in other music activities, and even these two are always postponed.
But today, Shi Xiaojing finally heard it. When she thought of this, she felt a little excited in her heart, and at the same time, she wondered why the singer on the stage hadn't finished singing yet.
Shi Xiaojing thought for more than a minute, and the singer on the stage finally finished singing.
Just when Shi Xiaojing, Rex and Liu Wei were looking forward to Nie Wei's appearance, there was a scream mixed with surprised voices.
Shi Xiaojing tiptoed and stretched her neck to look at the stage, and saw that it was not Nie Wei standing on the stage, but a pair of black people. The plump and sexy woman gave her a very familiar feeling.
