Jay Chou
After a lapse of four years, Jay Chou’s solo singing has finally returned to Hangzhou across "thousands of mountains and rivers". On November 15th, the "Share 2008" dynamic zone Jay Chou concert hosted by China Mobile Zhejiang Company will be staged in Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center. This concert is one of the stops of Jay Chou’s 2008 world tour concert. As we all know, Jay Chou is the image spokesperson of China Mobile’s dynamic zone, and he has also visited Zhejiang in the past few years. For example, the "China Mobile Zhejiang Company’s customer number broke through 25 million and the" Dynamic Zone Ningbo Stars Concert "last year, but the personal concert has waited for four years before meeting the Zhejiang audience again. This time in Hangzhou, China Mobile Zhejiang is once again preparing to spend a lot of money to create an unparalleled performance to celebrate the breakthrough of Zhejiang Mobile users 40 million, and to share the excitement, joy, sadness and excitement of 2008 with all fans. To this end, all tickets for "China Mobile Zhejiang Company Shares Jay Chou’s Concert in the Dynamic Zone 2008" are not for sale, but in the form of recharge and exchange tickets to repay the majority of mobile customers.
Three themes of solo singing: lively, hip-hop, and affectionate
Jay Chou’s musical style has always been more diverse, with rhythm and blues (R & B), rap (Rap), traditional Japanese music, Western classical piano, rock and roll… all playing very smoothly. This time, Zhou Dong will sing for three hours. Naturally, he will present a mix and match pattern, sometimes interpreting Chinese style, sometimes walking the hip-hop route, and sometimes playing the piano like a gentleman, singing love songs affectionately. According to the director of this concert, Giant Cannon, Zhou Dong has set three major themes for Hangzhou’s solo singing, that is, lively, hip-hop and affectionate, which he is very good at. As for the "Hangzhou Elements" that Zhou Dong will show his hands in the concert, it is still in the confidential stage. Maybe he hopes to bring surprises on the day of the concert.
According to Cannon, the repertoire of this concert has been roughly determined, and Zhou Dong will sing nearly 30 songs, which naturally includes classic songs like "Huo Yuanjia", "Nunchaku", "Thousand Miles Away" and "Listen to Mom’s Words" that fans never tire of listening to, as well as songs such as "Golden Armor", "Chrysanthemum Terrace" and "Unspeakable Secret" that are inseparable from his films. In fact, Zhou Dong has indeed invested a lot of energy in movies in recent years, and some people even say that he is more suitable as an actor. But this does not seem to hinder his influence in the field of music. Even "Shenqi" went to space with his Olympic song "Thousand Mountains and Waters", which shows how popular he is.
Three stages on the scene: the feeling of playing Transformers
If the three major themes of this concert are still relatively conventional, then the stage specially designed for the dance art part to match these three themes is a bit ingenious.
"The audience will see three stages on the scene, and Jay will walk and sing between these three stages. For example, when he sings a love song, he will stand on one of the stages, and then the next one is a more hip-hop song, and he will walk to the other stage." According to Sun Zhiwei, the stage director of the concert, the stage is generally only 60 or 70 meters wide, while the whole stage of Jay Zhou’s solo singing is about 91 meters wide and 26 meters high, which is very spectacular. Such a large area will be divided into three independent stages, each stage corresponds to a theme, and the audience will be watching three different concerts, which will definitely be able to enjoy it.
In addition, this concert has also put a lot of effort into the special effects part. If you are at the scene on November 15th and see the space racks on both sides of the stage slowly rising, the four giant arms will slowly rise like Transformers, accompanied by the dazzling cold fireworks, and then connect with the space racks on the ceiling. Don’t be surprised. And during the time when Chairperson Zhou sang, the stage changed into a carousel, high heels and other scenes for the audience on both sides, which is relatively close to fantasy.
Sun Zhiwei revealed that Jay Chou’s appearance in each concert is amazing. This time in Hangzhou, he will combine the 3D three-dimensional screen on the stage to count down with the audience, thus setting off the frenzy of the whole concert. This kind of opening method is indeed a bit domineering.
