Chapter 194 (1/2)
The fourth concert was more lively than the first three because of Liang Kun's shocking performance.
Many fans applauded when he left the stage. Many people wanted to call him back and sing the song again. There are many people who can sing ”friendship years” well. There was no one in China who can sing ”EarthSong” well.
Liang Kun is so popular not only because he sings well, but also because Jackson's songs are far more influential than Zheng Yijian's songs.
You have to be able to choose songs to show off your skills. If Liang Kun came to the song ”red and gorgeous flowers of Shandan” in Hung Hom, no matter how high the pitch would not be so hot.
Today, Li Keqin sang ”today next year”. The response of fans was not enthusiastic. This song is not as exciting as ”EarthSong”. Even if Liang Kun is just a cover song, everyone thinks it's worth buying tickets to such a concert.
At the press conference, when reporters interviewed Li Keqin and Tan Yonglin, they asked them to evaluate Liang Kun's performance.
”I said before that he had a better voice than us, and there were no songs that couldn't be sung. Now everyone should believe it?” Tan Yonglin smiled.
Li Keqin sighed: ”when he practiced songs, he sang several songs that I couldn't sing. I advised him not to go high, which might hurt his voice. As a result, he didn't have to sing hard.”
The reporter asked: ”you let him be a guest, aren't you afraid that he will steal your limelight?”
”We are singers of two styles. As a guest, he has increased the popularity of the concert. I like all the songs he wrote, and I am very grateful to him,” Li Keqin replied.
Liang Kun does steal the limelight, but fools don't have a good relationship with him because of jealousy. Li Keqin believes that as long as Liang Kun releases an album, he will soon be more popular than him, and others can't stop him if they want to. Even if Liang Kun can't write and sing, he can become an idol in the music world by his image.
The reporter asked Liang Kun: ”many fans haven't enjoyed listening to it today. Will you still sing this song in the next two games?”
”I can sing this song and dark fragrance. I won't change other tracks. I'll sing if the audience likes it.”
The reporter asked, ”will you consider writing songs with this style in the future?”
Liang Kun said with a smile, ”of course I'd like to write if I have inspiration. Michael Jackson is the singer I admire most. His three public welfare songs are very classic. However, it's too difficult to write as well as him.”
Most of the songs in this era are love songs, and many are ”spare tire songs”. An occasional public welfare song will definitely brighten people's eyes.
The next day, universal records directly sent someone to find Liang Kun and wanted to sign a contract with him.
He has proved his strength. He can sing Jackson's songs well. If he practices again, he is likely to be the king star who is popular in Asia. It is impossible to predict what he will achieve in the world music world, because Europe and the United States are very exclusive, and his Chinese identity will become an obstacle to his reaching the top.
The contract offered by globegroup is no less than Jay Chou's new contract. It seems very sincere. In fact, it is reasonable.
Both of them can write songs. Jay Chou is characterized by his unique voice and personality. But his singing voice is not as good as Liang Kun, and his image is much worse than liang Kun.
Liang Kun already has a good popularity. There will be fire in the future. Globegroup wants to pick up the leak and sign a long-term contract with him.
So he refused happily and didn't even read the contract carefully.
”Sorry, I came to Xiangjiang this time to participate in a friend's album recording and concert. I have no plan to release an album and officially debut. I won't sign a long-term contract in a moment of excitement. I'm afraid I'll regret it in the future.”
The person in charge of globegroup said: ”you don't have to worry that signing a contract will affect your studies. As long as you don't have a concert, you have plenty of time.”
”I'm sure I can't have enough time. Things are almost full from March to June. Now I can't find time to write new songs when signing a contract. If I release an album, I'll be even busier. I want to give myself a buffer period and decide which company to sign and what contract to sign in the second half of the year.”
Liang Kun is a very independent person. The people of universal records can't convince him and can only leave.
Li Keqin supported Liang Kun not to sign, and clearly told him that he would lose if he signed now. He could not make a decision as soon as he clapped his head.
Liang Kun's new song for Wang Fei hasn't been released with the collection, and Li Keqin's new album hasn't been released yet. If his new songs have great influence, plus the DVD release of the concert and the popularity of original and cover songs, he will certainly be able to sign a bigger contract.
Now there is only one company from globegroup. Liang Kun doesn't have to worry at all. When many record companies wanted to sign him, the market rose.
Netizens knew that Liang Kun sang Jackson's earth song, and the discussion became more heated. Now there is no blog or microblog. Liang Kun can't determine the number of his fans. It is estimated that it has more than doubled than before coming to Xiangjiang.
Most of the people who said Liang Kun had an average voice the day before didn't say anything. The person who said he was easy to sing Liang Kun's song was directly ridiculed by the group.
