Chapter 304 China's Heavenly King Shines in Los Angeles
Los Angeles Music Festival, Live

The music festival is open-air, with a performance stage in the front and half a square in the back connecting the street, which can easily accommodate nearly 5 spectators.

There are big curtains on both sides of the stage, and at night, cameras will project the stage images so that the audience can clearly see the singers on the stage.

The music festival hasn't started yet, so it stands to reason that now is the time for fans to cheer or wait for the opening stage.

Either shout slogans to cheer for your favorite singers, or chat with a few companions or small circles. If no one is watching, go to the nearby street vendor to eat snacks or visit the area dedicated to selling music around the festival.

But there are not so many sessions in the Los Angeles Music Festival today. Basically, more than [-]% of the audience gathered together with the family of FXXX organizers, men, women, children, and eight generations of ancestors...

After FXXX finished the organizer, everyone shouted in unison the singers who had news that there would be a music festival to show their protest.

Britney Spears, Eminem, Oasis, The Cure and others.

Later, even those singers who were not rumored to participate in the festival were named, including Madonna, Niu Jie, Michael Jackson, and Linkin Park.

After calling out the singer's name, all FXXX the sponsor's family again, and then the singer's name, and then FXXX the sponsor.

The cycle goes back and forth, never tires of it.

The momentum was so loud that even Cao Xuan in the backstage was so noisy that he couldn't feel at ease in Versailles, so he went to the door and listened for more than ten minutes.

The level of English swear words and American swear words has risen sharply, and even learned a lot of "national quintessence" of Latin and some national languages.

He even heard a few familiar Chinese greetings to the female surname of the sponsor's family, starting with "a certain plant" and "the sun", which clearly shows that compatriots are contributing.

Yuan Gong is one of the few people who scold Chinese. He is an international student at the University of Southern California. He came to watch the concert with a few classmates.

In fact, Yuan Gong is not very interested in this music festival, he prefers movies and games.

But many of his friends at school are music lovers, and more importantly, the white girl Sandy he has a crush on is also a rock fan. Liang Gong naturally transformed into a "music fan" in order to fit in with the group and pick up girls.

This time when he came to the music festival, Yuan Gong actually came here with the purpose of getting close to Sandy, and he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

He didn't know how others were doing, anyway, Yuan Gong himself followed the scolding quite hilariously, seamlessly switching between Chinese and English, and took the time to assist a few companions on the spot in Chinese "quintessence".

After all, in terms of swearing language, it doesn't matter who is superior or inferior, but Chinese has a richer background and more exciting tricks...

.........

The audience just made noise like this, from afternoon to night.

Seeing that the music festival was about to start, many people thought that the organizer was going to announce the end and give everyone their money back.

Even Cao Xuan thought so.

At first he thought nothing of it, but now the fans have been arguing for hours, it is obvious that the scene has collapsed.

The audience has obvious antagonism. It is difficult for singers to suppress the stage, and they may be attacked by others, so there is no need to continue.

But a capitalist is a capitalist, and the organizer is a bachelor. Now that he has been scolded, it is even more impossible to refund the money. Otherwise, it would be a big loss if he was scolded for nothing.

So, no matter how the audience reacted, the singer went up to perform anyway.

It is up to you whether to watch the show or not, but the music festival has not been cancelled, so the money will not be refunded.

The organizer is very cunning. From the beginning to the end, it has not publicly stated which stars must be in place. It is all gossip. Even if it goes to court in the future, some people will talk about it.

But now the singers quit, you two are angry, we are the ones on stage, if the audience can't get angry, what should we do if we attack the stage.

Throwing an egg or throwing a stone is fine, the key point is that the United States can't help but shoot, if you meet a reckless person, if you can't say it, you can go straight to God.

The organizers were obviously well prepared and presented the performance contract. All the singers signed the contract when they were invited to participate. There was a clause in it. If they did not participate in the performance, the liquidated damages ranged from 30 to 70 US dollars.

The audience was in an uproar, Cao Xuan frowned, and called Mike directly.

Mike was a little confused when he picked it up, so he hurriedly called and called Cao Xuan back in a few minutes.

There is no problem with the contract, as is the case with general performances. The liquidated damages may be slightly higher, but they are all within the normal range.

But this time the performance party intentionally calculated, so they deliberately invited some singers who might not be able to afford the liquidated damages.

This music festival was clearly a gimmick to collect money. Warner originally thought it was a normal music festival with superstars in charge, so they would give Cao Xuan a boost.

In the end, I didn't expect to be tricked, but the forces behind the organizer are very complicated, and Warner didn't want to fall out.

Now that the two sides have communicated, Cao Xuan can leave directly without participating in the performance, and the other Warners will take care of it, and Warners will also compensate him for this mistake in the future.

Cao Xuan hung up the phone, and an old white man from the organizer nodded to him, obviously he had received the news.

Cao Xuan was not the only one who called for help, all the singers and bands present contacted, but unfortunately, except for a few who were relieved, most of them looked ugly.

Among them is Avril Lavigne. Although her company Arista Records is not weak, it is still not close to Warner.

Although they are still trying their best to contact and communicate, the progress is mediocre, and the agent did not say the phrase "we paid the liquidated damages" that Avril Lavigne was expecting.

30 US dollars is not a small sum, no matter how good Avril Lavigne's potential is, she is still just a newcomer.

The most important thing is that even if it is a performance, there may not be accidents, and there is no need to throw down 30 US dollars in a hurry.

Avril Lavigne is known as a little witch, but after all, she is only an 18-year-old girl, and she was dumbfounded. Although she didn't cry, the panic and uneasiness in her eyes could be seen at a glance.

Cao Xuan took care of his own safety, relaxed his mind, and was about to leave. Seeing Avril's appearance, he felt a little bit unbearable when he thought of the little girl who adored him before.

But he didn't take care of everything, but asked Avril to come to his side to see the situation.

Avril Lavigne's performances are at the back. If the reaction to the previous performances is too intense and directly causes the music festival to lose control, then the music festival will end directly, and Avril Lavigne naturally does not need to be on stage.

If there is nothing wrong and everyone performs normally, then Avril Lavigne can also go on stage normally.

If it is a situation that is not out of control, but dangerous at the same time.

The big deal is that Cao Xuan lent this girl 30 US dollars. Anyway, Avril Lavigne became popular after releasing her album in June, and the 6 million US dollars can be repaid.

Cao Xuan told Avril Lavigne his thoughts, and then showed her his checkbook, signaling that there is no need to worry.

After hearing Cao Xuan finished speaking, Avril immediately cried.

One is that the stone in my heart has fallen, and I can no longer bear the grievance in my heart. After all, I am still a girl who has just grown up, how can I not be afraid, and she is also moved.

The feeling of someone reaching out for a hand in a critical moment is simply unforgettable for a lifetime.

Especially when she was rejected by a trusted company just now, she felt desperate, and finally asked Cao Xuan, a stranger who hadn't been around for a long time, to help her. The emotional conflict brought about by this stark contrast was too strong.

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb the others."

After Cao Xuan reminded her, Avril immediately covered her mouth, wiped away her tears, and stayed obediently by Cao Xuan's side.

Her petite body shrank into a ball, sobbing from time to time, pitifully, like a stray cat just adopted.

However, Avril Cao Xuan was covered, and the others were not treated so well.

Cao Xuan is not the Holy Mother, and helping Avril is already to see her performance as a little fan girl and the reason for the filters of later generations.

But for others, if human life is at stake, Cao Xuan definitely can't just watch, but now that no one knows the situation, let's observe and observe.

Cao Xuan knew in his heart that the organizers were doing it for money, not for their lives, and they couldn't afford to lose their lives.

Therefore, most of the people made a false alarm and frightened themselves, and the scene should still be under control.

Sure enough, after the organizer's bodyguards faintly revealed the bulging guns in their waists, a Canadian band bit the bullet and came on stage.

Cao Xuan asked Zhang Chong to go out to see the situation, and later learned that the audience did not do anything particularly aggressive, nor did they attack the singer, but they kept booing and swearing, and the atmosphere of the performance was very embarrassing.

The same is true for a band and singer who appeared on the stage afterwards. They were not attacked, but they were often accompanied by overwhelming abuse and booing.

This made everyone in the background relax a lot.

As long as there is no personal safety issue involved, it is too difficult to boo a few boo a few times, and expect this group of deceived audience to applaud.

The smile on Avril's face bloomed again, and she also took out the mirror to touch up her makeup. She had lost all her smoky makeup because of crying.

Cao Xuan was also in a good mood. The favor of Future Queen was sold, saving 30 US dollars. Even if it took half a day this time, it would not be a loss.

The old white man who the organizer and Cao Xuan nodded to just now also slipped over.

"Cao, are you still playing?"

"Why do you want me to play? Your goal has been achieved."

"You are the singer on the billboard, or the king of Asia. You are more important than them, which will make the music festival more justified. If they sue, we will be able to defend better."

The old man is very honest or blunt. Cao Xuan had a gimmick at the music festival, and he will have something to say in case of a lawsuit later.

The king of Asia is in the United States. He can be worthless if he says he is worthless, and he can become very valuable if he says he is worth money.

Cao Xuan is also very honest, anyway, he is a "victim", and if the blame cannot be blamed on him, it is better to take the opportunity to reap some benefits.

"What can I get?"

"Add another $3 in remuneration."

"It's too little, add 15 US dollars, and I will play."

"It's too much. It's more than 30 US dollars. The appearance fee is almost enough to invite first-line singers."

"Then you go to the front line."

"8, the highest."

"10, the lowest."

"...Deal, Cao, you are really an excellent businessman."

"Thank you, but to be honest, the grocery shopping ladies in our country have a higher bargaining level than me."

Cao Xuan smiled sincerely and shook hands with the white old man. The 10 US dollars plus his previous performance fee, after conversion, this performance is nearly RMB 200 million less.

It's still rich in the capitalist society, and Cao Xuan's most expensive normal commercial performance in China is not enough to get this price.

However, after what happened just now, Cao Xuan didn't believe in the character of the old white man at all, so he contacted Mike directly to ensure that he got the money before preparing to appear with the band prepared by the organizer.

Avril rolled her eyes, picked up her guitar and followed Cao Xuan.

"I've heard "Natural" and "Numb" and can accompany you."

Cao Xuan nodded and didn't stop her. Anyway, this is just a cutscene, it doesn't matter whether it is rigorous or not.

Not long after a few people arrived at the waiting area, the black singers in front of them left.

It can be seen that this guy was scolded enough, he couldn't help panting when he stepped off the stage, his mouth was full of **** words, and the silencer was beeping on the TV. Seeing Cao Xuan, it was rare for him to persuade him said a word.

"Leave them alone, you sing your song, and leave the stage after singing."

Because of this kind reminder, Cao Xuan punched the black singer, and then went on stage with the band.

Everyone took their seats in their own order, with the drummer at the back, the keyboard player at the right back, the bassist at the left back, and Avril Lavigne and another guitarist standing on both sides of Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan stood in the middle of the stage, and was broadcast by the cameras on the big screens on both sides. When all the audience saw the new singer come on stage, they booed loudly.

If it is an ordinary singer, seeing the dense crowd of angry faces, insulting words and raised middle fingers in the audience, the whole person may be stunned.

But the experienced Cao Xuan not only didn't feel angry, but had an uncontrollable excitement.

Having experienced the Temple of Heaven concert with 10 people, and several Spring Festival Gala, it is difficult for him to feel a lot of tension and passion in ordinary performances.

But today's challenging scene made Cao Xuan rediscover some of the excitement and trembling in his heart when he held the Tiantan concert.

In a word, the status is coming!
