Vitas - Press conference in Suzhou [TikTok live stream • 26.09.2023]

My full recording of the part of the press conference that was broadcast live on Vitas' tour TikTok page. Not all of the press conference was broadcast, only part of it. The buffering is not my fault, the live stream had lagging issues until eventually it stopped. Below is a China press report about the event, provided by ‪@alvasta‬:
On September 26, 2023, a press conference dedicated to the big China tour of Vitas was held in Keyuan, the academy garden in Suzhou. At the press conference, Vitas sent Mid-Autumn Festival blessings to the Chinese audience and told some detials about the forthcoming concerts. Vitas, who likes Chinese opera, also asked the famous Kun Opera performing artist Shan Wen for advice on the singing of Kun Opera and tried to perform a version of Kun Opera with his famous "Dolphin Sound".
According to the organizer and producer of the China tour of Vitas, the first three concerts will be held in Nanjing, Suzhou, and Shanghai. The Nanjing concert will take place at Nanjing Wutaishan Stadium on September 29, the Suzhou concert will be held at the Suzhou High-tech Zone Gymnasium on October 6, and the Shanghai concert will be held at the Hong Kong Hall of the Shanghai National Convention and Exhibition Center on October 21. The tickets to the Nanjing concert have been sold out, and the tickets to the Suzhou and Shanghai concerts are also actively being bought. This tour has received great attention and support from people; therefore, the producer has invited an internationally renowned production team to make perfect stage design, music arrangement, audio equipment, and visual communication. He promises that the audio and visual feast will delight the audience.
At the press conference, Vitas specially thanked Jiangsu Jinshiyuan Liquor Industry, the partner of this tour. The representative of this company, together with Vitas, will participate in several cultural events in the framework of the China Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day. By this cooperation, they will demonstrate international cultural and artistic exchanges in the context of the China-Russia Cultural Year.
Vitas is also a fan of ancient Kun Opera. He tried to learn and sing it with his famous "dolphin sound" several times but failed, because the pronunciation of Chinese words and the style of singing are rather difficult for him: Kun Opera is a very specific art. As Vitas said, "I am a beginner. I don't dare to share the stage with professional Shan Wen. I'd better go back and practice again. I have listened to other Chinese operas before, but Kun Opera is older and more elegant. It is so beautiful." In his opinion, music is the common language of mankind and a bridge between hearts. Kun Opera or pop songs have their own moving parts. The love and resonance of beauty knows no boundaries.
When asked whether he would sing Chinese songs during this China tour, Vitas smiled and nodded and said that he was intensifying his practice. He added, "This will be a classic song that is well-known to Chinese audience and widely praised internationally. In order to present new ideas, we have specially invited musician Tan Yizhe to adapt it." Some guests tried to guess what song he meant. When the song "What a Beautiful Jasmine Flower" was mentioned, he smiled still stronger but replied nothing.
This Friday is the traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Vitas sent Mid-Autumn blessings to the audience in advance. He said, "I heard that Chinese people spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with their families, and I miss my daughter very much. I believe many people are like me. No matter what results we achieve, no matter where we go, our family will always be with us. It's the most important thing. I hope everyone can always be with their families." Then he announced that his daughter Alla will be a special guest during this China tour.

Эх Витас, мог бы что нибудь исполнить акапельно и девушку порадовал бы. Если не мог повторить как она надо было что то другое исполнить, просто исполнить какую нибудь вокальную миниатюру, а он прям в отказ ушел и отклонил просьбу фанатки, некрасиво

[@vitasdb]

yes that was a very awkward moment

这位女士不是粉丝，是另一位嘉宾，唱的是昆曲，这是Vitas没办法一下子学会的，而且他很礼貌的称赞她，不算失礼。
