Stefanie Sun performs to 50,000 fans at the Bird's Nest
Performing at the venue for the first time in her 25 years of career, Stefanie is also only the fourth female singer to have ever been granted the chance to hold a solo concert at the iconic location.
The concert also saw the attendance of stars like Michelle Chen, Chen Linong, Zhou Dongyu and many more, with the former writing, "I wanted to cry as soon as you came on stage. After all, you have carried my youth for so many years. Fortunately, there were fast songs, so I only cried for half of the show."
It was understood that the concert was directed by Stefanie's music partner and music director Kenn C, and that the Singaporean singer herself participated in the whole process, from conception and arrangement to stage design.
Stefanie also expressed her thoughts about performing at the iconic venue, writing, "It is hard for me to describe the experience of singing in the Bird's Nest. The sound in the venue was very consistent and surrounded me on the stage like waves. This is the moment when the singer is overwhelmed by the audience."
"People outside the venue listened to the concert comfortably, drinking tea and eating snacks. They sang along warmly, occasionally shouting and humming. Though beyond my line of sight, we were all connected in that moment."
Stefanie said that watching the videos from the concert was like someone was cutting onions next to her.
Her next performance would be in Qingdao.

‘KPop Demon Hunters 2' is Looking More Likely
Since KPop Demon Hunters came out in June and took the world by storm, fans have been clamoring for more. Netflix sure would like to, given how well this one film's performed, but it seems to be a question of whether the stars will align for it and Sony to make a sequel together. In a recent story from Puck's Matt Belloni, he lays out some of the film's financials, namely that it cost Sony over $100 million to produce, and only about $20 million is going to the studio, even with the film's brief, upcoming theatrical run. (It can also release the film in China, should the government allow it.) Sources told the reporter the deal between studio and streamer allows for Sony to make more KPop movies, and it's already entering negotations with co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Applehans. Netflix isn't obligated to renegotiate, so if that happened, the sequel could be shopped around elsewhere or come to the big screen. Why didn't Sony just put out KPop Demon Hunters in theaters itself? Per Belloni, it made two deals with Netflix in 2021: one deal, a 'direct-to-platform' arrangement, made so the streamer could greenlight and release a minimum number of Sony-made movies for animation and live-action, and Sony would be paid a $20 million premium on top of each film's individual budget. With all this laid out, it's a question of what'll happen with KPop Demon Hunters 2, distribution-wise. Industry people told Belloni they doubt the first movie would've taken off like this if it came to theaters first, largely because original animated movies have had a rough go in theaters, and KPop itself steadily built up momentum over time. But Netflix's dislike of theatrical releases has just resulted in Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer going over to Paramount, and Sony knows how to market and distribute movies for the big screen. Whether Netflix comes along for the ride, it probably won't be long before we're hearing from Huntr/x again. Want more io9 news?
