With a Wave of His Hand, Fireworks Filled the Sky, Show Luo’s Hong Kong Concert Burns $1.2 Million in 25 Seconds,

Show Lo’s “Show On Stage” Concert hit the stage on the 23rd at Kowloon’s Pop TV Arena.
Hong Kong has been having rain these passed few days, making him very worried about the weather’s effect on his concert outdoors, and even more worried about his throat. He downed Chinese and Western medicines.
But during the concert, the weather was still not cooperating and started pouring hard, making the audience a little disorderly.

Being his first time holding a concert in Hong Kong, Show “Xiao Zhu [Little Pig] Lo” changed his original rundown of his concert. He wore a newly tailored white, rhinestone-decked military costume and descended from above. As soon as he lifted his hand, the sky was filled with fireworks. In a short 25 seconds of the explosive entrance, it burned about $300 thousand HKD (~$120 million TWD).

How does he protect his ear drums in the midst of the huge explosions? He jokingly expressed that when he was younger, during the Lunar New Year’s, elders would tell him to open his mouth wide to protect his ears. He said using this method during the concert worked.
Stage Hanging by 4 Wires, a Thriller

The acclaimed “fashion icon” Show Lo had spent $500 thousand HKD, just for his Hong Kong concert, to make a new “Rhinestone Military” and a new “Star Filled Sky” costumes. The two outfits displayed his “knight in shining armor” side. Then he danced with his junior fellow record company mates Lollipop [Bang Bang Tang] the invisible basketball dance.
Besides showing his dance skills, Show also sat upon a mobile stage suspended by 4 wires, and very passionately played a shining piano, singing a self-accompanied “Zi Wo Cui Mian [Self-Hypnosis].” It looked dangerous yet very elegant.

Tickets Sold Out Within 3 Hours

Show’s success in Hong Kong was done step-by-step, when some other artists became popular in a blink of an eye. He was shaped through his hosting of “100% Entertainment,” “Corner With Love,” and his 5 albums, and through that he finally gained his popularity in Hong Kong.
It’s his first time holding a concert in Hong Kong, but his tickets were completely sold out in the first 3 hours it was put on market, so in the shortest period of time, they announced a second concert, and then in less than 4 days all tickets were sold out again. Even though the fans requested that there be a 3rd concert, Show’s schedule was just too packed, so he couldn’t comply.
