After breakfast, the Olympic champions first visited the Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai as a group, and then visited the Avenue of Stars, Mong Kok Pedestrian Area, Tsuen Wan Jewelry Street, Tsing Ma Bridge and Shatin Town Hall in groups.
However, because Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren still had performing duties, they ended their visit early and went to the stadium to prepare for the big show.
Athletes will stand on golf carts and appear one by one, two people in one cart. They will shake hands and communicate with the audience for a week around the golf course, followed by various performances. In addition to singing, there are also various interactive programs and on-site interviews arranged by the organizer.
The emcee of the grand show is Hong Kong's famous entertainer Chen Lege. He is very good at stimulating the atmosphere of the scene. Therefore, from the moment the athletes came on stage, the audience cheered louder and louder.
Hong Kong won a silver medal in the men's table tennis doubles event at the Athens Olympics. The organizers arranged for the gold and silver medalists in the men's table tennis doubles to sing "True Hero" on the same stage, followed by the six-time Olympic champion Spears who sang "True Hero" impassionedly. "I am Chinese", and then the "Frog Queen" sang "Girl Waving Wings" with Hong Kong artist Joey.
The women's volleyball coach led the women's volleyball girls to sing two songs in a row, namely "You Will Win If You Work Hard" and "The Sunshine Always Comes After the Storm", and the audience became excited again. Then comes the highlight of the show, with Liu Feiren and Zhang Guan about to appear.
Like the recent "Same Song" concert, karaoke bartender Liu Feiren still sang "I Want It So Much", and his partner was still his good friend Hong Kong artist Ju Ji. This was their second time co-starring, and the two of them worked together even more tacitly, and Liu Feiren was more open-minded, which attracted a lot of applause.
"I don't need to tell you who is going to be on stage next, everyone knows it! He is..." Brother Chen La stretched the microphone to the front, and the entire audience shouted in unison: "Zhang Guan!"
"Yes, it is Zhang Guan, the world's number one trapeze artist! He is the pride of us Chinese, the pride of Asians, and the pride of all yellow people. I think everyone will be very curious about what songs he will bring today to compare with Zhang Guan. Who is Guan's partner?" Brother Chen La paused deliberately to let the audience discuss it, and then he continued: "No need to guess! Today Zhang Guan will sing a new song solo!"
The audience at the venue immediately gave out deafening cheers. The Olympic champion they were most looking forward to was about to appear and bring a new song. The audience's expectations reached the end in an instant.
"Now let's invite Zhang Guan to sing "Stubborn"!" Brother Chen La said, stepping aside and giving up the main stage to Zhang Guan.
The enthusiastic Zhang Guan people began to call Zhang Guan's name continuously, and at this time, the prelude of the song sounded, and the audience gradually became quiet.
"When I am different from the world, then let me be different. Perseverance for me means to overcome strength with strength."
Although Zhang Guan's singing skills are not professional, the opening tune of "Stubborn" combined with the fast-paced guitar sound instantly attracted the audience. This type of music has been very popular among Hong Kong people since the last century. Even Mandarin songs are still accepted by Hong Kong people. Therefore, the concerts held by the original singer of this song in Hong Kong are always sold out.
Zhang Guan continued to sing, and many viewers also focused on the lyrics.
"My last stubbornness and I will hold my hands tightly and never let go. Is the next stop going to be heaven? Even if I am disappointed, I cannot despair."
"Me and my proud stubbornness, I sang loudly in the wind, this time I am crazy about myself, just this time I and my stubbornness."
The two lyrics seem very simple, but they seem to speak to everyone's heart. Deep down in their hearts, everyone has their own persistence and stubbornness, but when faced with realistic choices, they will always choose to compromise. These two lyrics instantly resonated with everyone.
Some people begin to recall their lost youth. If they had been a little more stubborn, youth might have been more exciting!
Some people begin to miss their lost love. If they had been a little more stubborn, they might have been able to be with her!
Some people begin to miss the family relationships that have passed. Maybe they were too stubborn at the beginning, and now only some good memories and a touch of regret are left.
…
This song is not sung in a fancy way, but it seems to be telling a story, a mood, and a memory. Friendship, love, family affection, attitude towards life...
Touching is the easiest thing to touch people's hearts. Although the audience was very excited, they were very quiet. They listened carefully and began to recall involuntarily. Even if the singer was not a professional singer, even if the singer's singing skills were very amateur, but It can still bring the most primitive touch.
Everyone has their own stubbornness.
As the song ended, there were endless cheers in the venue, and everyone was chanting Zhang Guan's name, not only because Zhang Guan brought everyone a nice song, but also because of the special touch.
The reporters in the venue were as excited as if they had discovered a new world. The Olympic champion's performance as a singer is always a highlight, and if the song is a new song, it will definitely be a big highlight. And if the quality of this song is still very high, it will be enough for media editors to pay attention to it in the next two years. There was no shortage of reporting material throughout the three days.
A well-known writer at the scene suddenly remembered his past experiences. His works had been criticized by readers, his carefully designed plots were constantly belittled, and the spirit he interpreted in his works was not understood. He once wanted to give up. But he finally continued, ignoring the dissatisfaction and criticism, going on according to his own ideas, and insisting on being himself!
So, he wrote this passage on the spot:
"This song is called "Stubborn". From the lyrics, I can feel that it is about a person who is not confused when facing hardships and difficulties, but is strong enough to face difficulties and always fight with all his strength. Every day One sentence, every word, reveals confidence and strength! I can't help but think of the singer of this song, Olympic champion Zhang Guan. Before the game, no one thought he could win the Olympic championship, no one thought he could break the world record, but his persistence, his bravery, his strength, his lack of fear of failure, his willingness to face difficulties, and his courage to challenge told the world that he could! Zhang Guan used his stubbornness to interpret his Proud! This song seems to be a narration of his experience... "
"We will all encounter setbacks, big and small, in life. We will encounter negation from others, and we will not get recognition from others. Zhang Guan, an athlete, tells us in his singing that we should not despair no matter what we face. , be strong, brave, and 'stubborn' and persevere!"
“If you don’t even have the courage to persevere, how can you welcome the gorgeous sunshine?”
…
The Olympic Gold Medal Elite Parade was an unimaginable success. Every athlete who appeared became a topical figure, and Zhang Guan was the first to bear the brunt. His status as the world's number one flyer is already extremely dazzling, and the song "Stubborn" It has made him the most talked about person in Hong Kong. If a sports star who can sing and act is not hyped, who will be hyped
The whole of Hong Kong is discussing the Olympics. Olympic champions have turned into stars. This is exactly what the officials most want to see. As a result, the scale of the meet-and-greet at MacPherson Stadium in Mong Kok the next morning increased a lot, and the Olympic champion performances in the afternoon were also full. In addition to their original itineraries, Zhang Guan and Liu Feiren were temporarily arranged for two additional itineraries.
In the evening, the Olympic champion team visited the racecourse and watched horse racing. Zhang Guan once again became the most popular person, and the organizer also arranged for Zhang Guan and Liu Fei to sign autographs for the two horse racing horses. Obviously the owner of the horse also hopes that his horse can be blessed with the joy of being an Olympic champion. Perhaps after being signed and "consecrated" by the world's number one trapeze artist, the horse can run faster.
Early the next morning, Zhang Guan left Hong Kong with the delegation and took a boat to the next stop, Macau, to continue the visit.
Since the open table tennis competition is about to begin, the table tennis coaches and athletes did not rush to Macau with the large team, and the athletes' schedule in Macau is also very tight.
After arriving at 11 o'clock in the morning, the Chief Executive's Welcome Ceremony and Welcome Luncheon were immediately held at noon. Afterwards, we went to the Golden Lotus Square and the Sanba Archway to have close contact with the citizens, and then went to the "Olympic Elite" held at the Macau Polytechnic Institute. Haojiang Fun Night" party. The scale of this party was not as large as the Hong Kong extravaganza, but there were more than 3,000 spectators present, and Zhang Guan also sang "Stubborn" again.
At this point, the formation of Olympic champions in Hong Kong and Macao is considered over, and they will fly back to the capital the next day.
…
Japan.
A band is working on their fifth album. All band members participated in the creation of this album, and it was recorded in Japan, and the team of Japan's "National Band" was invited to produce it.
The band's manager also came to Japan together, but the manager couldn't get involved in music creation matters, so besides taking care of the logistics, there was nothing else he could do.
When bored, surfing the Internet became the best way to kill time, so the agent spent a lot of time on the Internet.
"Olympic Champions Parade, 100 Meter Flyer's New Song Is Amazing"
This title caught the agent's eye, and she curled her lips in disdain.
"What kind of good song can an athlete sing? Why are the clicks so high?" The manager felt a little curious and clicked on the video.
This is a live video recorded by an audience on DV. The resolution of the picture and the clarity of the sound are very average, and there is noise in the middle.
"Now, please invite Zhang Guan to sing "Stubborn"!" The host in the video spoke in Cantonese, but the manager did not understand it immediately. Then, the music prelude sounded and Zhang Guan began to sing.
"When I am different from the world, then let me be different. Perseverance for me means to overcome strength with strength."
"If I compromise myself, if I lie to myself, I won't be able to forgive even if others forgive me."
"The most beautiful wish must be the craziest. I am my own god wherever I live."
"My last stubbornness and I will hold my hands tightly and never let go. Is the next stop going to be heaven? Even if I am disappointed, I cannot despair."
"Me and my proud stubbornness, I sang loudly in the wind, this time I am crazy about myself, just this time I and my stubbornness."
…
"Eh? These lyrics? This melody? They seem to be the same. How is this possible?" The manager suddenly stood up, and then she played it back and watched the video again.
"The lyrics are the same, the melody is the same, but the soundtrack is different. I can't be sure yet. There is noise in this video, so I need to find a clear version." Then she began to search quickly to find clearer video information.
