(Central News Agency, reporter Hong Sujin, Taipei, 9th) The 'Diamond Stage Night' concert initiated by Hu Gua will be held during the Mid-Autumn Festival. This time, he has invited his daughter, Xiao Zhen, to join him on stage, hoping they can create sparks and have a sense of legacy. Regarding box office pressure, Hu Gua called on everyone to buy tickets and attend, saying they can enjoy a good performance and also do good deeds.
The 'Diamond Stage Night' concert, led by Hu Gua, will take place on September 26 and 27. The hosting team, including Hu Gua, Kang Kang, Lai Hui-ru, and Xiao Zhen, along with guest performers Weng Li-you, Zeng Xin-mei, and Cai Qiu-feng, attended the promotional press conference. Hu Gua specially invited Xiao Zhen to join the hosting team this time. Hu Gua said that Xiao Zhen is very shy in private but can be very generous on stage. 'She will also prepare some programs and sing with us,' he said. Kang Kang also praised Xiao Zhen for being hardworking and filial. Xiao Zhen herself said she would prepare some new song lists to perform for everyone.
Hu Gua admitted that he is still worried about ticket sales. Although the results of the past few events have improved, and he revealed that there are many corporate sponsors, he hopes for small donations. 'I hope everyone will work hard to buy tickets, not out of sympathy. By buying a ticket and entering the venue, you can watch a good show and do good deeds. I think our spirit should be like this,' he said.
Hu Gua also has high demands for the concert. He said the concert must have traditional elements but also incorporate new stimuli. 'It will have a different look, but the basic soup base won't change. Although it's a charity event, it's a wonderful restaurant show. Our ticket prices are actually not cheap, so we need to control the number of people in the venue. I want everyone to see all the performance content,' he said.
Speaking of Fu Zi-chun, Hu Gua admitted that he has known him for many years. Fu used to be the 'big boss' in his variety show. Later, Fu moved into drama, so they saw each other less, but they would meet every year during the New Year's special program. He always seemed healthy, so his sudden passing is truly too sudden.
Lai Hui-ru said she couldn't believe the news when she heard it and cried for a long time to process her emotions. She now regularly checks on Fu Zi-chun's wife, offering companionship and any assistance. At this point, Lai Hui-ru couldn't hold back her tears, exclaiming that it was all too sudden, as they were just about to go to his house to celebrate his new home purchase.
