511: Chapter 511 Seeing Through All Grudges

After Guangzhou, Lin Chuyan finally left the mainland and went to Hong Kong to hold a concert.

Hong Kong could actually be considered his base of operations; after all, half of his films were shot here.

For example, "a moment of romance" made him famous across Asia overnight. Couldn't shoot films in the mainland? It didn't matter. Director Du Qiyu and Director Mu Sheng, whom he had collaborated with on "a moment of romance," both stepped in, and he went on to shoot "the mission" and "new police story." Not to mention that as they were both in the Cantonese-speaking region, the people of Hong Kong felt even closer to him.

As for the media, the news that Lin Chuyan was finally coming to the Hong Kong Coliseum to hold a concert hit the front pages of all major Hong Kong media outlets immediately, and the paparazzi were practically dying to crawl onto his hotel window to study what he was doing every day.

However, what everyone was most concerned about was the "guest list." Many people were curious about just how many big stars would show up to support Lin Chuyan's concert.

Someone like Boss Yang, at his age, naturally wouldn't go, and it was said he gave the tickets to his niece and youngest daughter.

As for the others, you wouldn't know until you counted, but once you did, it felt like half of the influential people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry had shown up. After all, when Lin Chuyan gave out tickets, he didn't just give one; you bring me, I bring you. Besides those he had collaborated with like Chen Jiaju and Director Du Qiyu, many artists he wasn't even familiar with had also come.

After the first day at the Hong Kong Coliseum, the sensational headlines from the Hong Kong paparazzi were written like this...

[ Lin Chuyan's concert momentum is astonishing; half the entertainment industry showed up to support! Even the cleaning lady said: The entire TVB is sitting right here! ]

[ Stars kicking off their shoes until they fall over! Chen Jiaju and Director Du Qiyu sit in the front row; Xue Ting rages backstage: Brother Yan, why am I sitting in the second row? ]

[ Hong Kong Coliseum packed to the rafters! The cleaning lady laughs: The youngsters are even crazier than the TVB Anniversary Gala! ]

[ Fans across the venue take off their shirts to use as towels and throw them on stage; the security guard catches a bra and curses: Whose size is this big! ]

[ "boundless oceans, vast skies" makes ten thousand people scream until their lungs burst! Lin Chuyan poses shirtless! Netizens: That guy is using the song to show off his pecs! ]

Nonsense, complete nonsense!

Damn it, some of these are pure fabrication. Isn't their imagination a bit too good?

Especially the one about someone taking off a bra and trying to throw it on stage, only for the security guard to catch it and demand to know whose size was that big... Seriously, did they have to be so vivid?

Lin Chuyan was speechless after reading it, and he went back to preparing for the second day of the concert.

Holding a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum, the four-sided stage is a very important feature.

Compared to a three-sided stage with a backdrop, a four-sided stage is relatively more difficult to design, but by placing the stage in the center, it often provides an excellent immersive experience.

The ideal three-sided stage is naturally for those sitting in the front rows of the inner arena; they can very intuitively and directly see every move of the Singer, reaping a perfect concert experience.

But for those sitting in the "nosebleed section," the experience is completely different. Firstly, they can't see clearly, and secondly, their view is often blocked by robotic arms. To put it bluntly, taking photos and recording videos is a huge struggle.

But the four-sided stage is different—it doesn't have the limitation of a big screen, so the stage design usually relies on hardware. At the same time, the limitations of the stage are broken; the Singer, band, and backup dancers have more space, the audience is closer, and the immersion is greatly enhanced.

Based on this, the team naturally had to create a stage design specifically for the four-sided stage; they couldn't waste this sense of immersion.

Yes, this time, Lin Chuyan was finally no longer performing alone; he was going to make the concert fun.

"double blades" was coming.

The prelude to "double blades" was a chant. Lin Chuyan lowered his head, and the Tibetan chant was high-pitched and resonant, echoing throughout the entire venue.

The dome of the Hong Kong Coliseum suddenly plunged into darkness, with only twelve spotlights weaving the stage into a cage. Immediately after, a short drum beat with Western Regions flair rang out, and the distorted electric Guitar began to enter.

"Hum—" In stark contrast to the opening chant, the electronic rock, fused with hip-hop scratching effects, tore through the silence, seemingly threatening to shatter everyone's eardrums.

48 wash lights erupted, simultaneously slashing down indigo light blades, carving a circle of light beneath Lin Chuyan's feet.

Following the "Galaxy Love Letter" chapter, "double blades" completely blew up the venue!

Lin Chuyan stood in the center of the stage, the lighting effects engulfing his figure. No one noticed the double blades tucked at his lower back, the red silk at the hilts hanging low, like two blood-red fish about to break free from a seal.

The noisy electronic rock faded away, the stage returned to silence, and the first line of lyrics for "double blades" finally rang out.

"Re-edited through the lens, the imagination given by history."

"Segments of an 8mm documentary, appreciated from a distance."

Just as everyone's emotions were settling, twelve black shadows suddenly flew down from the top of the stage, suspended by wires!

The twelve ninjas wore black clothes and white masks with ice-crack patterns, the twelve samurai swords trailing silver trajectories, vaguely forming a surrounding formation around Lin Chuyan in the center of the stage.

"The two sides of good and evil are opposed, I clench my fists and start to get used to it, the method of an eye for an eye."

Lin Chuyan didn't retreat a single step, the microphone pressed against his lips, the tail end of his note still lingering.

The twelve ninjas continued to press in step by step, as if waiting for an opportunity.

"The wind, circling, the mist is thick..."

Lin Chuyan's words were followed by action, and dry ice surged from all directions.

"I light the incense with piety, praying for peace."

The lyrics were praying for peace, but the ninjas kept closing in. This feeling became increasingly eerie, but it also made Lin Chuyan, standing unmoved in the center of the stage, appear all the more mysterious.

Another burst of dense drum beats!

The emotions of the audience, who had been holding their breath for so long, were finally released!

The chorus entered.

"Looking down from the rooftop, violence spins in place—"

Three samurai swords were already pressed against his throat.

"The answer solved by the previous generation is to smile and not resist—"

He dodged sideways. The moment his hair brushed against the blade's edge, he turned his body, and a flaw appeared in the surrounding circle.

"The sigh of the Tang suit soaked by rain is very Oriental!"

His right hand went to his lower back, the hilt in his hand, carving out a semicircle.

"I can't stand to see dignity wounded, the family so miserable!"

It came fast and went fast; the three samurai swords were knocked flying in an instant, and the three ninjas who had swooped in were cleanly and neatly knocked to the ground.

Smoke, lights, ninjas, blade flashes... combined with the music, this was the true flash of swords and shadows!

2 minutes and 30 seconds, the interlude began.

In the darkness, Lin Chuyan handed the microphone in his hand to the ninja standing on his left.

He finally drew his double blades.

The ninjas also continued their attack.

Lin Chuyan suddenly retreated half a step, his wrists turned, and the double blades came out together—slightly modifying the Fangcun Sword Technique and Lingxi Spear Technique, using them on stage was overkill.

In the original song, this part was originally half a minute of weapon clashing sounds. At this moment, the double blades plus the twelve samurai swords clashed simultaneously, every sound perfectly overlapping with the original song, completing a perfect replica!

"Clang!"

"Clang! Clang!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

First blade! A vertical slash, the samurai sword snapped in two, and the first ninja fell into the dry ice, holding the hilt.

Second blade! Spinning forward, an upward flick, and the second ninja fell backward, crashing into the blue light of the floor screen.

Third blade! Lunging to strike the throat, the tip of the blade hit the throat squarely, and the third ninja clutched his neck and fell backward.

Fourth blade! A horizontal sweep backward, and the three ninjas behind him who were trying to approach fell down together.

Blade after blade, every strike was spectacular; the four-sided stage was now Lin Chuyan's personal show.

The flashes of swords and shadows reflected his tightened jawline—posing successful, this kid was incredibly handsome.

The interlude ended, and he smoothly took the microphone handed over by the ninja beside him; the timing was just right.

"Directly in front of the double blades, my murderous intent does not turn."

"The power with its back to me, it injures itself."

"To the lower right of the double blades, I swing the blades to end it."

"Seeing through all grudges, the gaze of phoenix eyes."

Lin Chuyan's tail notes vibrated with the momentum of the blades, the blade light surged, and the last three ninjas flew backward in the waves of light, their black clothes rolling like fallen crows.

The sound of the horse-head fiddle finally rang out, Lin Chuyan sheathed his double blades, stood tall, looking exactly like that youth who would never fall in Hong Kong martial arts films from thirty years ago.
