After Jiang Junxiang arrived in the United States, before he had time to visit his father or go to the company, he followed the schedule planned by Universal Music and flew non-stop throughout North America to participate in various music programs and promote his album.

Often you board a plane in the morning and arrive at your destination, and then after participating in activities, you have to go to the next destination. This kind of trip is not much easier than the Korean idol's singing trip.

No matter how busy he is when playing music in Korea, he is only in one city, Seoul, but in the United States, Kang Jun-sang has to travel between different cities.

Universal Music also arranged the schedule in this way according to Jiang Junxiang's request, because Jiang Junxiang proposed to end the album promotion in May.

Such an intensive promotional schedule was also very effective. At the end of January, the song "viva" successfully topped the Billboard charts. Not only that, it also successfully topped the British pop music charts.

Well-known European and American musicians also spoke highly of this song:

"The whole song is full of love for life and yearning for freedom. The lyrics, accompaniment and the singer's high-pitched and passionate voice all give strength to the listener. Alex uses a brisk and unusual rhythm to narrate the desolation of a period of history, with strong contrast and meaning.

Absolutely. The long live life sung in the lyrics is also freedom. Although the themes of death and loneliness appear repeatedly, the deep meaning is to express that life is not simply living, but living freely and meaningfully."

With "viva" successfully topping the major music charts in Europe and the United States, Jiang Junxiang, a new singer, has gradually attracted widespread attention from fans in Europe and the United States.

As for Kang Jun-sang, who is active in European and American countries, his advantage over other Asian artists lies in his appearance.

Even though his face shape is still Asian, his unique and distinctive two-color eyes are still very recognizable. Coupled with his pure English accent and Western way of thinking shown in TV shows,

Kang Kyun-sang was quickly accepted and recognized by the Western public. Most people ignored his other Korean nationality and completely thought that he was an American.

A champion single and nearly two months of crazy schedule allowed Jiang Junxiang to successfully occupy a place in the European and American music market and become the hottest new singer at the beginning of 2009.

April 16th, Rock Music Festival.

Among the three major music festivals held in California, the Music Festival is the largest and the music event with the strongest band lineup. The music festival attracts a large number of people who love music, and the most eye-catching ones are the stars who attend Coachella.

Its street photos every year are highly visible.

The music festival is held in a desert area, where the temperature during the day will be above 38 degrees Celsius, and the temperature will drop sharply after sunset. The music festival will last for three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday (before 2007, it was one or two days).

Kang Kyun-sang was invited by the organizer to open the first day of the music festival by performing "viva", a single that has dominated the Billboard charts for six weeks. This is a golden opportunity for Kang Kyun-sang, who is eager to gain high exposure and fame.

.

The moment he stepped onto the stage, even the usually calm and steady Kang Jun-sang was agitated and his throat was dry. This is not just a Korean dance stage studio with only a thousand people, but nearly 200,000 music festival audiences gathered here.

There are many big-name celebrities from Europe and the United States. If you say you are not nervous, you would be lying to yourself.

Looking at the dense crowd of people in the audience, Jiang Junxiang on the stage swallowed his saliva to moisten his throat a little, introduced himself in English, then turned around and sat in front of the piano, signaling the band to start.

Many people in the audience know Kang Jun-sang through the media. In particular, his song "viva" has been at the top of the Billboard charts for six weeks since the end of January and has been reported by many entertainment media in Europe and the United States.

After Jiang Junxiang introduced himself, his fans in the audience shouted his name loudly and rhythmically, and even the people around him also shouted.

"alex!alex!alex!alex..."

Soon, the originally noisy sea of ​​people began to shout Alex in unison. Jiang Junxiang felt excited at this moment, enjoying the feeling of countless people shouting his name together.

This feeling made him completely fall in love with this stage! It turns out that this is the reason why countless singers are unwilling to give up their music dreams!

Jiang Junxiang lowered his head, pressed his hands on the piano keys with a focused expression, and played the most impressive melody of "viva" with the purest and clearest piano sound. The audience in the audience heard the familiar melody coming from the live speakers.

, and also harmonized in unison with the music.

"oh~oh~oh~oh~oh~~"

"oh~oh~oh~oh~oh~~"

…

The piano accompaniment lasted for more than half a minute, and hundreds of thousands of people in the audience sang along for half a minute. Jiang Junxiang suddenly stood up and ran to the microphone, and the band also started playing.

The viola and violin ensemble played a brisk but desolate rhythm, and Jiang Junxiang also sang loudly with his own high-pitched and clear voice.

oh~oh~oh~oh~oh~~

i used to rule the world

The world was once dominated by me

seas would rise when i gave the word

The huge waves also surged because of my fate

…

oh~oh~oh~oh~oh~~

(oh oh oh)

hear jerusalem bells a-ringing

Hear the bells of Jerusalem

roman cavalry choirs are singing

The song of the Roman cavalry shook the mountains and the sea

be my mirror my sword and shield

Be my mirror, sword and shield

my missionaries in a foreign field

My missionary stands beyond the frontier

…

Kang Jun-sang has said before that this rock song is most suitable for concerts, and it is indeed true. The simple and brisk melody and exciting and sonorous lyrics, when sung by hundreds of thousands of people in unison, are like a huge wave.

The sound waves hit the sea of ​​stars tonight.

This momentum instantly ignited ordinary audiences and big-name celebrities who came from all over the world to attend the music festival, jumping and waving to the music.

After singing the chorus three more times, Jiang Junxiang had to wave goodbye to the audience, and the "encore" sound from the audience continued to rise and fall. Unfortunately, the organizer only gave Jiang Junxiang 5 minutes of stage time, and Jiang Junxiang had to apologize and leave.

Although the organizers did not expect that Jiang Junxiang's performance would bring such an opening effect, you must know that a successful opening means that the music festival is half successful.

This kind of scene of hundreds of thousands of people singing together is very rare in all live performances at music festivals. Not only does the song style need to be consistent with the live performance, but the singer's performance requirements are also very high.
