You Made Me a Superstar

   Chapter 160 He is the beginning of an era

   August 23.

   In the Hospital of Our Lady of the Virgin Mary.

   "Sister Hong, I heard that you are going to hold a concert, is it true?"

   "Sister Hong, you have been away from the music world for so many years and suddenly announced that you are going to hold a concert. Does this mean that you are coming back?"

   "Sister Hong, can you talk a little more? What is the nature of your concert?"

   "Sister Hong, who will you invite to the concert and where are you going to hold it? What is the scale?"

   "Can you talk about your disease specifically? I heard it's cancer, is this true? Is it early or middle stage?"

  “…”

   Early morning.

  The first ray of dawn shone through the clouds on this land, dispelling the coldness of the night.

   The reporters who had been guarding the entrance of the Virgin Mary Hospital for an unknown number of days when they saw Zhong Yanhong walking out with Wang Jing's support, they swarmed around and excitedly looked at this diva who used to be so powerful...

  Zhong Yanhong's face was pale, but she was in good spirits.

   She did not resent the various questions the reporters asked, but felt that these reporters were very kind...

   is like a group of old friends.

   She took a closer look and saw a few familiar faces in this group of reporters, and she smiled at them.

   At this moment, she seemed to return to the day before the concert at the Hong Kong Island Red Pavilion ten years ago...

   That day was also vaguely August. Likewise, countless reporters surrounded her excitedly and asked all kinds of questions.

   That was her last concert in the past ten years...

In that concert, she sang and danced to the fullest on the stage, and even invited fans to sing with her, play games together, and the joy floated over the whole city. It's so fast, these ten years seem to have passed in a flash.

   "Thank you for your concern, I'm in good health now, my illness is not a big deal, I've had surgery and I'm recovering well..."

   She smiled and answered every question from the reporter as much as possible.

When asked why she suddenly held a concert, she paused for a while, as if to sort out her emotions: "Ten years ago, I left the music scene without saying goodbye to everyone, I don't think it's good. Today, ten years later, I want to say goodbye to everyone, this concert should be the last concert in my life!"

   When Zhong Yanhong said this, there was an uproar at the scene.

  The fans not far away suddenly shouted and shouted. The originally high-pitched and excited atmosphere suddenly became a little sad...

   "Excuse me, is it the cause of the disease?" A reporter in his 40s desperately squeezed in front of the person, holding the microphone, and asked in a trembling voice.

   "Yes." Zhong Yanhong nodded calmly, with a smile on her face.

   That reporter Zhong Yanhong was quite familiar. In the past, he would rush to the front of every press conference.

   "Then, shouldn't you really be as rumored, you have advanced cancer, and then..." The reporter trembled.

   "It's not late, it won't kill me, but it should be difficult for me to go on stage in the future." Zhong Yanhong continued to smile.

"Then can you tell me why the concert is so sudden? In the past, when you held a concert, it took at least two months to prepare, but now..." After the reporter saw Zhong Yanhong's smile, the vibrato did not disappear. Disappeared, but looked at her more seriously.

After Zhong Yanhong faced this question, she was silent for a moment, and then looked into the distance: "because I got two good songs! It has a beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics, and I can't wait to be on stage and sing well. These two songs..." After answering this question, she suddenly felt a little tired, she calmed down and looked at the fans in the distance: "I have to go, I hope to be able to do it on the night of August 31st. , I can see you at the scene, thank you!"

   Then she no longer answered any questions from the reporters, but got into the nanny car with the help of her assistant.

  ……………………

   Nine o'clock in the morning.

   "Sister Hong's villa is so big..." Zhou Yang got out of the car, looked at the villa, and sighed unconsciously.

   "Let's go, Sister Hong is already waiting."

"Um."

   Zhou Yang followed Wang Jing into the villa.

  When he walked in, Zhou Yang's thought of something instantly began to bring a trace of unease.

   Sister Zhong Yanhong's concert was originally planned for October, but it suddenly changed to a week later, which made people wonder if Zhong Yanhong had a physical problem.

   Zhou Yang even thought of another extreme possibility...

   Could it be that Sister Hong is like Sister Mei, this concert will become the last concert in her life?

   After passing through the hall, Zhou Yang walked into Zhong Yanhong's private music room, and after knocking on the door, the two walked in...

   in the music room.

   Zhou Yang seems to have come to the musical instrument shop, guitar, piano, bass, drum set, guzheng...

  The musical instruments that Zhou Yang can think of are all available here, and it is very valuable to have one at hand.

"coming?"

   "Well, Sister Hong..."

   "Wait a minute, I'll finish the piano first..."

   At this moment...

  Zhong Yanhong is bending over and carefully wiping a piano. She moves slowly and seems to be struggling, but the expression on her face is as gentle and careful as she is looking at her own child.

   When she felt Zhou Yang coming, she smiled, but did not put down the rag in her hand.

   Zhou Yang wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Wang Jing.

  Although there are quite a lot of servants in the villa, Zhong Yanhong's music room does not allow any servants to come in. The most basic hygiene of the music room is done by Zhong Yanhong alone.

  The two waited for ten minutes before they saw Zhong Yanhong sitting slowly on the piano bench, stroking every key of the piano.

   "Xiao Zhou, it's abrupt to invite you, didn't it delay your filming?"

   "No, Director Huang's crew doesn't know when they will be able to start work for the second time, and they are now moving to the mainland..."

   "Oh, that's how he is." Zhong Yanhong smiled, then put her arms on the piano "Xiao Zhou, I'll play the accompaniment of "The Song of Qian Qian Que", I'll sing it again, how about you help me listen to it?"

"Ah good."

  The melody of the piano sounded.

  Zhong Yanhong first sang the song "Song of Qianqianque".

   Her voice is gentle and moving, like a young girl who has never experienced the world, full of confusion about the future.

   Zhou Yang was immersed in the melody and enjoyed another feeling.

  Some songs, under the baptism of time, will not be eliminated, but like old wine, more and more mellow.

perhaps……

   "Thousands of Que Songs" is one of them.

   If you talk about the Hong Kong music scene in the 1980s and 1990s, and about that song, no one can avoid "A Thousand Thousand Que Song".

  It ravaged the entire 80s and 90s, and it turned out to the world in the Hong Kong music scene where a hundred flowers bloomed, setting off a huge wave...

  Even years later, people will still hum the melody of this song and remember the people and stories of that era from time to time.

   Zhou Yang fell into memory, and before he knew it, the song was finished...

   Then, Zhong Yanhong sang "Song of the Sunset" again.

  The same accompaniment, the same melody, different lyrics, different situations.

   If Zhong Yanhong was full of energy like a young girl when she sang "Song of Qianqianque", then "Song of Sunset" was more or less full of a sense of sadness and loss.

   "Song of the Sunset" may be unfamiliar to many people, and it is far less popular than "Song of Qianqianque", but you can't deny its classic...

  If "Song of Qianqianque" was the peak of an era, then "Song of the Sunset" is the end of another era.

   This is Mei *fang, the last song of Sister Mei's last concert in her life, wearing a white wedding dress, standing at the concert, feeling the passing of life and the sigh of the sunset...

  Same melody, different lyrics, different story…

   Zhou Yang has seen the video of that concert and watched it several times.

   In that video, Sister Mei is very beautiful.

In the sad melody, she walked firmly to the center of the stage and sang the song softly. After singing, she said goodbye to everyone and announced to the world that she married music. At the last moment, she said goodbye to everyone. He waved his hand and ended that almost legendary life.

   Looking at Zhong Yanhong, Zhou Yang unconsciously showed the figure of Sister Mei, and the unspeakable feeling became even stronger.

   After the song ended, Zhou Yang applauded, but his throat became more and more blocked.

   "Sister Hong, can I ask a question?"

"ask……"

   "Why did the farewell concert time suddenly change, suddenly move forward, and bring it up so close?"

"Because now I still have the possibility to sing on stage, and in a month or two..." Zhong Yanhong did not say the same set of words to deal with reporters, but looked at Zhou Yang seriously, "In another month or two, I shouldn't be able to go on stage, I may have to have another surgery..."

   "Is surgery dangerous?"

   "How can there be surgery that is not dangerous?" Zhong Yanhong laughed.

   "Sister Hong, why don't we wait until the surgery is over before we have a concert?" Wang Jing's voice rang out, and the circles around her eyes started to turn red.

"What if I die on the operating table?" Zhong Yanhong still smiled: "While everything is in good condition, we will leave a perfect curtain call for everyone, so that people will not have any regrets. We do whatever Everything has a beginning and an end..."

   Over the years, she has been used to seeing too many partings of life and death.

   For her, leaving with regret is more uncomfortable than anything.

  Wang Jing suddenly lowered her head.

   "Okay, time is limited, let's not talk about other things, Xiao Zhou, let's go to the rehearsal room on the other side to rehearse."

"Sister Hong, I want to ask, why did you invite me to sing with you? I've never sung before, and I'm a newcomer. If I can't sing well, wouldn't it be, and I'm not very good at singing Cantonese songs... …”

   "Mr. Wu strongly suggested it. He said that it might be interesting for you to take the stage, so I want to see how you look when you take the stage, and he thinks you can be a good singer..."

"what?"

   Zhou Yang was quite surprised. When he practiced songs before, Wu Zhenhong and Wu Lao Ke never praised him...

  ……………………

   "Because I got two great songs! It has a beautiful melody and beautiful lyrics, and I can't wait to be on stage and sing these two songs well..."

  When Zhong Yanhong's interview was exposed by major media, the Chinese music scene instantly set off a storm!

   Countless media and singers are using various channels to inquire about what these two songs are, which can make a diva who used to be stunned to be impatient.

   But the weird thing is...

   Zhong Yanhong's company and those acquaintances kept it very secret.

   didn't reveal what song it was...

  The more secrecy, the more crazy these reporters are, and all kinds of speculations are just endless!

finally……

   "If there are no accidents, he should be the beginning of a new era..."

   was asked a lot by reporters, and Zhong Yanhong said this.

   After finishing speaking...

  The media are boiling!
