Hello, 1983

Although the operas on Broadway can only be regarded as little operas, they are still relatively high-end after all, and not just anyone can enjoy them.

So these opera singers, including Mr. Weber, didn't pay much attention, thinking that Mr. Mountain was ignorant.

Out of courtesy, Weber took it and looked at the title, The Lion King.

Weber nodded, this is nothing, after all, he also created Cat.

Take a look at the synopsis, it is a story of a little lion growing into a lion king, which is very inspiring.

But these are not important, musicals, the most important thing is the performance of music and dance.

In terms of dance, the wild and passionate dance of the African savannah should not be a problem, then the focus is music.

Weber is the master of the line, so the rest of the rush swept past, focusing on the music.

As a result, when he saw it, he was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.

Liu Qingshan looks like an old god is there, and this Lion King musical is the main purpose of his coming to Broadway.

It's not easy to get approval from Broadway, even if MJ comes, these guys who think they are gentlemen are very stubborn.

Liu Qingshan chose to use The Lion King as a stepping stone because the musical is considered one of the most successful and popular musicals on Broadway.

And it is also a native production in the United States, unlike the other four classic musicals: Cat, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, these four, more or less, are actually imported.

This musical, since its inception, has been watched by over 100 million viewers around the world, with a cumulative box office revenue of 7.2 billion US dollars, the absolute number one.

And it's not just a musical. In Liu Qingshan's plan: The Lion King, it's a big drama that he tailored for Hurricane Films and possibly Columbia Pictures in the future.

What cartoons, movies, and derivative products, this is definitely a big IP of tens of billions.

Mr. Weber, Mr. Weber?

Seeing that Webb had been watching for more than half an hour, Chris couldn't help but reminded,

After all, with so many guests, it's not good to leave them alone.

After calling several times, Weber raised his head and gave Chris a fierce look: Don't disturb me!

Then he continued to watch, humming some tunes from time to time.

Okay, great, this piece of music fully showcases the grandeur of the African savannah.

Wow, have you heard of love, this is the music that can win an Oscar...

From time to time, exclamations came from Weber's mouth, and everyone realized that something extraordinary seemed to have happened.

Just like on Broadway, there is often no good work for several years.

But once there is a good work, it can be played for several years or even decades and decades, which is enough for a lifetime.

These actors, of course, believe in Weber's vision. After all, they have the ability to create two epic musicals, Cat and The Phantom of the Opera.

And a work that can be so obsessed by Mr. Weber, what level would it be, at least it is at the same level as a cat!

When everyone looked at the young Mr. Mountain again, their eyes became very eager: is another musical theatre master about to be born?

After more than an hour, Mr. Weber raised his head again.

At first, his eyes were still a little dazed, and it was estimated that he had not yet come out of the script. When he saw Liu Qingshan, he looked excited, rushed over and grabbed Liu Qingshan's shoulders with both hands:

Mr. Mountain, this is a great work that takes decades to produce!

Liu Qingshan raised his hand and patted the other's shoulder: Mr. Weber, you need to calm down now.

No, I can't calm down, I want to rehearse this musical right now, right now, right now!

Webber has now fallen into a state of near-madness, with nothing left in his sights but the musical The Lion King.

Calm down, dear, this is Mr. Mountain's work.

Sarah Brightman and Ah Mao walked over together, and when they saw Webber like this, they hurried up to remind him.

Such works, without the authorization of the author, of course others cannot arbitrarily arrange them.

Yes, yes, Mr. Mountain, I am too excited, please understand.

Weber finally regained some sobriety, holding the script in his hand, wanting to return it to Liu Qingshan, but he was reluctant and extremely tangled.

Liu Qingshan smiled: Of course it was written for the performance. If Mr. Weber can personally guide the rehearsal, I am completely relieved.

Okay! Weber took the opportunity to take back the script, and then remembered something: Mr. Mountain, how are you going to charge?

Let others talk about these things. We only talk about art. Liu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand.

In fact, he has long planned that such a work, he will definitely hold it in his own hands, and it is best to take the performance share.

The Lion King can play for 20 years without fail, even if Liu Qingshan's other careers all fail, relying on this musical, it will be enough for a lifetime.

Yes, we shouldn't be distracted by these little things.

Webb is a playwright and hates the kind of business negotiation that bargains, so leave it to the lawyer.

Mr. Mountain, it's getting late. We are fortunate to meet today, and of course we want to invite you to dinner.

Or Sarah Brightman will come, unlike Webber's group of guys, all of them are a bunch of lunatic, unsophisticated.

Of course, Liu Qingshan would not refuse this kind of emotional enhancement, so he smiled and said:

We have an old saying in China that we don't know each other if we don't fight. Today's incident happens to be the beginning of our friendship.

So someone immediately went to make a reservation for the restaurant, not far from the theater, dozens of people in total, walked over, and sat at several tables.

In fact, these opera actors are still very simple, and soon everyone will sit together and chat and laugh.

Even the girls of the Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara are also respected by these actors.

During the banquet, naturally they talked about the performance under the big tree. At this time, Sarah Brightman said:

Mr. Mountain, I like your adaptation of Scarborough Fair very much. Can I sing this song on stage with Miss Mao?

This kind of thing, of course, Liu Qingshan can't ask for it. You must know that Sarah Brightman is very well-known in this city.

Weber also felt that Liu Qingshan was a cheerful person, and said on the spot that he was willing to lead the crew to make a cameo appearance in the episode of The Phantom of the Opera.

This is even better. Now that there are Broadway operas to help out, do you still need to worry about the audience?

This meal was enjoyed by the host and the host, and both parties could be considered to have their own place.

Liu Qingshan got strong support here, and Weber also got his favorite script. This is a perfect cooperation.

During the meal, Gao Lingfeng called, Liu Qingshan explained the situation, and Gao Lingfeng hurriedly contacted the organizer. After all, this heavy news should be added in the publicity.

After dinner, Liu Qingshan and his party went directly to the rehearsal, and then waited for the start of the performance tomorrow night.

The next day, the major newspapers in the Big Apple published the news that Webb and Sarah Brightman would be on stage to assist.

This immediately caused quite a stir, and the audience also wondered: How come two groups of people who can't fight with each other are still together?

As a result, there are really capable people among the reporters, and they don't know how to find out the truth from there, so the name of the musical The Lion King also appeared in the newspaper.

This is surprising news. Recently, Mr. Mountain from China is in the limelight, and he even created a musical, which must be impressive.

So the title of Dragon of the East appeared for the first time in the Big Apple Times.

This title was subsequently quoted by many newspapers, which shocked the United States for a while.

Boss, now you have become the Dragon of the East, what do you think? The little stool also used this nickname to make fun of Liu Qingshan with a smile.

The other singers also watched the fun with a smile, and there was something called pride in their hearts, dancing like a dragon.

You know, it's called flattery. It's the most vigilant thing to be careful about. Prepare well, and the show will start soon.

Liu Qingshan knocked on the head of the small stool. In fact, his heart was also very happy. After all, China now needs to establish a new image in the world.

At this moment, Liu Qingshan doesn't mind being the spokesperson for this image.

The only trouble may be that he won't be fluttered by these foreigners, but there will be jealousy in the country.

The time for the performance is set at 8 p.m. in Madison Square Garden.

As usual, Liu Qingshan came out for a walk and thanked all the guests.

In the front row, there are ambassadors leading the staff in the museum, as well as some dignitaries. Liu Qingshan even saw a few NBA stars, sitting there in suits and leather shoes.

One of them looked like a gorilla, with a particularly sturdy body.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little emotional: wait until next year, Qiao Gangzhu will start the first three consecutive championships.

Among the guests, there was also a tall figure. When Liu Qingshan saw it, his eyes lit up, he hurried forward, clenched his fists, and greeted him with a set of combined fists.

I saw that the big man's head was shaking again and again, and Liu Qingshan's fists were all lost.

Of course, Liu Qingshan didn't really fight, it was just a performance.

Haha, Mr. Ali, congratulations, you are recovering well. Liu Qingshan finally stretched out his fist and collided with the big fist of the boxing champion.

Ali's black face also smiled very happily: Liu, thank you and your master, I heard that the old man is in Los Angeles, I'm going to rush over in the next few days.

After a year of recuperation, Ali feels that he can now return to the ring.

Of course, he took it for granted, but in daily life, there were basically no obstacles, and he could live like a normal person.

The two chatted and laughed and were very close. Ali also patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder:

Liu, I heard that the government is banning traditional Chinese medicine. This is very infuriating. Please don't worry, I will unite with some people to protest.

When Liu Qingshan heard it, he quickly thanked him. With Ali's influence, one person's protest can win over millions of ordinary people.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the concert started on time, and the first program was still Me and You.

This time, the singers really changed to the original version, it was Kanako and Sarah Brightman.

Sarah Brightman's appearance also aroused enthusiastic cheers from the audience, which is the star effect.

The opening was very successful, and then the show on the small stool quickly heated up the scene.

This song, as well as Amao's Scarborough Fair, and Jiaju's i-want-it-that-way, etc., have gradually become popular.

Therefore, record companies with a keen sense of smell came to the door one after another, including giants such as Warner Bros. and Capitol Records, preparing to release a concert album.

Of course, Liu Qingshan is also very happy, but this kind of cooperation has to be completed through Hurricane Video, and Hurricane has obtained exclusive authorization.

When the Thousand-handed Avalokitesvara performed on stage, the audience was amazed and everyone was deeply shocked.

And when the girls finished their performance, they were still posing, and then Sarah Brightman came on and sang the best part of The Phantom of the Opera.

This time, the audience's emotions were completely mobilized, and the stadium of tens of thousands of people was full of applause.

By the end of the opera segment, Sarah Brightman and Amar sang the song Scarborough Fair again.

The voices of the two singers are as ethereal as moonlight, which is intoxicating.

This wasn't the biggest surprise tonight. When the Twelve Girls Band came on stage, the audience suddenly felt that there seemed to be an alien mixed in among the girls.

When a beam of light hit the man in the middle, the man took off his hat and gestured.

In an instant, the screams of tens of thousands of people almost swelled the roof of the stadium.

The man sitting in the chair with an erhu on his lap was MJ, no wonder the audience almost had a heart attack.

Who would have thought that mj didn't sing or dance, and changed to an instrument, and it was still a very unfamiliar instrument.

At the beginning of the performance, the first track was naturally the Forbidden City. Jackson also stretched his arms and pulled it up nicely.

Of course, he is still a big part of the recharge now. After all, he has just practiced not long ago, and at most he has only started.

However, with Yu Shuilian and other erhu hands, Jackson was not out of tune.

The audience began to watch the strange, but as they listened, they gradually became immersed in the magnificent music.

When Miracle was played, many audience members began to slap rhythmically. Because of Jackson's guidance, many people found that they fell in love with these ancient instruments from China.

Liu Qingshan felt that Jackson should be hired as an ambassador to promote Chinese musical instruments.

The appearance of mj is not the climax of the whole performance. When Liu Qingshan appears, it will be called a real shock.

I saw dozens of Indians dressed in national costumes on the stage and danced their own national dances.

And Liu Qingshan held a genna flute and played a sad song of the Indians.

The last Mohicans shook the hearts of every audience present in the roars and shouts of the aborigines.

Liu Qingshan also sighed a lot in his heart: both are ancient nations, but have different fates.

There was only one thought surging in his mind: self-improvement, self-improvement, self-improvement!
