阿沁(右)掏出大如拳头的“鸵鸟蛋”水晶钻戒,向飞下跪求婚。
FIR昨晚在台北小巨蛋开唱,阿沁在全场上万名观众的见证下,掏出大如拳头般“鸵鸟蛋”水晶钻戒,向女友飞下跪求婚,硬是轧过“色,戒”电影中的“鸽子蛋”大钻戒,当场掀起高潮,阿沁为了让飞点头,更不惜撂狠话:“如果失败的话,下半场就没有吉他手阿沁了!”
FIR出道4年首度举办大型演唱会,不惜在硬体设备上砸重本,陈建宁特地自德国为飞“量声打造”160万的顶级麦克风,阿沁买了8把新的吉他,花费140万元,独唱“圣堂之门”时,舞台上的火焰特效却提早喷出,把阿沁吓了一跳。
阿沁太催泪 飞开场就含泪
阿沁和飞原本约好,起码要唱3首歌才能哭,没想到阿沁的“开场白”太“催泪”,“这场演唱会,我们准备得很辛苦,一度也想要放弃。”让飞眼眶又开始含泪。
接着,两人深情合唱经典曲之一“天天夜夜”,观众起哄要他们“喇舌”,阿沁竟突然从口袋中,掏出“自称”有100克拉的水晶钻戒,让飞又惊又喜,最后只得含羞伸出手,让阿沁“套牢”,乐手配合弹奏起“结婚进行曲”,陈建宁还从后台拿起麦克风说:“你们忘了我了吗?”
信也下跪 飞被捧上天
信担任特别来宾,与飞合唱“需要你的爱”,信彩排时,原本夸口演唱会当天要将飞扛起来,营造出“爸爸亲像山”画面,却因为男友阿沁在旁监督,而与飞闪得老远,因为信太高,演唱时也来一段下跪桥段,让飞乐得好high。
师姐孙燕姿也是嘉宾之一,她与F.I.R合唱“We will rock you”炒热全场气氛,接着独唱自己的歌“奔”。孙燕姿谈自己的情事很低调,不过昨晚竟当著飞和阿沁面前逼问:“你们哪时候要结婚啊?”
-----------------------------------------------------------
IN FRONT of 10,000 people, guitarist Real Huang of Taiwanese pop-rock band F.I.R whipped out a ring and got down on one knee.
The ring was half the size of a clenched fist.
'It's 100 carat,' he joked.
The object of his affections was his band mate - lead vocalist Faye Zhan.
The occasion? F.I.R's concert at the Taipei Arena, which kicks off the band's first concert world tour with at least seven stops, including Hong Kong and Singapore.
It was not only a significant moment for the 3-year-old band, but also for the two lovebirds who went public with their romance early last month.
Fans and the media alike had earlier wondered if they would kiss on stage, but band leader and keyboardist Ian Chen put his foot down.
'No more than holding hands!' he scoffed when the trio met reporters during their rehearsal on Friday.
Obedient enough, Faye and Real did not hold hands. No lip-locking either, despite the audience constantly breaking into chants asking them to kiss or hug.
Faye chided on stage, albeit jokingly: 'It's all because of you. We didn't do anything bad but you make it seem as if we did.'
The two lovebirds even avoided looking at each other when they started to belt out the duet Tian Tian Ye Ye (Day And Night), which incorporates LeAnn Rimes' hit single How Do I Live.
But Real, 27, had a sweet surprise up his sleeve.
He stopped singing just before the end and teased Faye, 26: 'The mood is so great today, why don't we French kiss?'
Peals of laughter filled the arena as she shyly pushed him away.
Turning serious, Real said he had prepared a small gift for Faye.
He said it had to do with the figure '100', but not 100 flowers, because that would be 'too lousy'.
Instead, he whipped out what he called a '100-carat ring'.
'If Faye doesn't accept my sincere love declaration, there'll be no guitarist for the second half of the show.'
With that, he got down on his knee and said lovingly: 'Will you wear this big ring?'
And so she did - on her left wrist.
Faye revealed at the post-concert party that she was caught off-guard by Real's grand gesture.
'His hands were shaking, and I was like, 'What should I do?'
'I was stuck on stage. I was so scared that he was really proposing, it's too sudden!'
Ian, 36, jumped in at this point and slammed the table jokingly: 'I won't agree! We must still continue to do music together.'
To which Real said in a resigned tone: '(Ian) is our biggest obstacle.'
After all, Ian is the serious veteran in the group and both Real and Faye call him 'Lao Shi' (Mandarin for teacher) out of respect.
RING MADE FROM CRYSTAL
Real said he had thought long and hard how to declare his feelings for Faye on stage, before getting a friend to help him buy the gigantic ring.
It is made of crystal and cost about NT1,200 ($54).
He said: 'I wanted to do something that is humorous but yet, expresses my feelings.'
He kept Faye in the dark, but told the supporting concert band about it and asked the members to stop playing at the right moment.
So, is it a genuine proposal?
The couple both shook their heads and muttered 'No no no...'
Faye said it was only for 'effect' on stage, while Real said the real thing will have to wait till next year.
As for whether he will soon get Faye a real diamond, he laughed and said that he would first have to write 100 more songs to earn enough royalties.
'Make do with this first, okay?' he added, glancing at a giggling Faye.
She said she would probably wear the ring as an accessory.
Other artistes somehow got wind of the proposal.
A certain 'famous three-girl group' - obviously the kooky S.H.E - sent F.I.R a congratulatory flower stand with this cryptic but revealing note attached:
'Real, if you don't get down on your knees in front of 10,000 people as your witness, it'd be a pity.
'Faye, if you don't agree, you're not giving (him) face.
'Ian, if you don't give your blessing, you're being too strict.'
Guest star Stefanie Sun, who joined Faye in belting out the evergreen tune We Will Rock You, was the most direct on stage.
'So, when are you two getting married?' she asked.
