Recently, Sammi Kao, a 52-year-old Taiwanese female singer who represents the works Once in a Thousand Years and Grass by the Green River, appeared on the rural stage in a long blue-purple performance dress and purple down jacket.
The stage was improvised. It should be a spacious set in the village, not concrete. The area of the stage is not large. Interestingly, the background of the stage is similar to a big screen, playing the MV of the song, and there is a feeling of watching the national K songs.
Maybe it's because the village seldom invites stars. Many villagers watched in front of the stage. Everyone is wearing masks and singing on the stage with their mobile phones. Even the security guard who kept order at the scene couldn't help but take out his mobile phone.

Although it is common for singers to earn appearance fees at Shang Yan, weddings and company annual meetings, Sammi Kao's performance for business is still rare in rural areas.
In addition, this time, not only invited, but also invited a 58-year-old singer, who looks like Hou and was famous in the 1990s. His masterpieces are Smiling Face and the theme song of Premier Liu.
After the concert, Xie Dong also exposed the performance video on his social account, with the introduction text:
"This morning, the wedding in Fuyang, Anhui Province was a success. I immediately rushed to Wuxi, Jiangsu Province and performed in Wuxi at night. "

In other words, the rural Shang Yan where Sammi Kao and Xie Dong appeared was actually a wedding banquet held in the countryside.
There are many comments under the video exposed by Xie Dong, and Xie Dong himself personally replied.
There was a comment: "Did you follow Sammi Kao?" Xie Dong replied: "Yes."
One comment is: "Is 200 yuan enough to sing a song?" Xie Dong replied: "Too many."
There is a comment: "The appearance fee is five or six thousand." Xie Dong replied: "Fifty or sixty."

Many years ago, the same thing happened to me, just like Yin He, and it was considered suicide.
Not long ago, some netizens exposed Yin's appearance on a crude stage and sang "The Tracker's Love" with an unknown female singer to make money.
Now Xie Dong "everyone comes", in Anhui at noon and in Jiangsu at night to catch up with the market and make money. It is estimated that the appearance fee will not be too high, and he can only make small profits but quick turnover.

But Sammi Kao doesn't seem to have done anything to ruin his future. Why is it the same as Xie Dong's state?
Sammi Kao is a female singer. She has produced 59 albums and more than 600 singles. The more albums and singles are released, the more markets there will be, and no one will buy them or listen to them.
Arguably, Sammi Kao should have saved a lot of savings and industries after his debut for many years. Even if she is unmarried and childless for life, she should make good plans for her old age.

Why does she go to such a cave now? Even if the appearance fee is not as low as Xie Dong's self-exposure of 50 or 60, it will not be much higher.
Six years ago, Sammi Kao and singers such as Yu Chengqing, Cao Ge, Jam Hsiao, JJ Lin and Tanya Chua served as judges of the Taiwanese Golden Melody Awards.
Five years ago, at the award ceremony of Taiwan's Golden Bell Award, she also sang songs such as Once in a Thousand Years and Grass by the Green River.
Therefore, it is still puzzling that she and Xie Dong appeared at the wedding banquet in the countryside and sang together. Maybe something happened in the last five years, which made her as a judge, singing at a large-scale award ceremony.
But in any case, Sammi Kao is also making money by his diligence and hard work. There is no high or low job, and making a living by your own efforts is worthy of respect.
