In Aaron Kwok’s (郭富城) concert performance at the Hong Kong Coliseum last night, there was a malfunction with the sudden retraction of a complicated, multi-layer platform stage, causing Aaron to fall off a 6-feet platform! The accident resembled a wriggling fish landing on the floor, in which Aaron’s legs were thrown fully in the air! Biting back the pain, Aaron reluctantly hoisted himself up two seconds later and was rushed back stage to check for injuries. Fortunately, Aaron sustained no injuries and resumed his concert performance, even demonstrating his trampoline sequence! Aaron’s 17-session concert world tour was approaching its near conclusion and the atmosphere was explosive last night. While singing his song Temptation of the Iron Curtain <鐵幕誘惑>, the platform stage suddenly retracted quickly, resembling a free falling machine leading to Aaron’s accident. Due to the nestled platform stage design, the audience members sitting close to the stage were unable to see the details of what had occurred and thought that Aaron’s disappearance was part of the performance. Fans sitting in the back rows witnessed the accident; they were shocked and started crying in fright! The dancers on stage quickly climbed off the platform stage to check on Aaron’s situation. When the music stopped and the lights were put out, the atmosphere grew tense. Fortunately, the music was quickly resumed and Aaron performed a thrilling jumping trampoline stunt. Near the finale, Aaron even performed a 360 degree somersault in the air for a perfect closing! The concert concluded at midnight and fans shouted for an encore performance, but Aaron did not appearance on stage again. The screams dragged on for ten minutes and when the concert venue turned on bright overhead lights to signal the show’s conclusion, the audience dispersed. Aaron Kwok: “Let Me Bear the Brunt of the Accident!” At the celebration party, Aaron Kwok indicated that he did not sustain any injuries from the fall off the platform stage. “I was not scared even one bit, perhaps I am not afraid of anything! The stage structure has always been secure. The accident may have been caused by the collapse of internal wires supporting the nestled platform. If the accident were to occur 5 minutes later, then 6 dancers would have occupied that stage area, which would have resulted in a more severe accident. It is okay for me to bear the brunt of the accident alone! There are always unexpected occurrences on stage, which makes me not willing to let go.” Not An Acrobat Aaron missed the jump twice during the trampoline act. Due to the accident, Aaron’s rhythm in performance was impacted. Since he was a professional singer, he did not have any previous acrobatic training. “I was upset [by the missed jumps as well], which I why I performed the 360 degree somersault in the conclusion of the concert.” It was Aaron’s decision to not reappear for an encore performance, as he wished the concert to have a perfect ending. When Madonna performed on stage, she will not appear for an encore to sing a few more songs. Aaron’s rumored girlfriend, Lynn Hung (熊黛林), watched three sessions of Aaron’s concert performances at the Hong Kong Coliseum, giving a grade of 100 points. Aaron replied in a low-key manner, “Thank you; there are several friends who have watched my concert performance every evening.” Regarding holding Lynn’s hand during the New Year’s Eve countdown, Aaron explained that it was normal to hold a good friend’s hand on such an occasion. Asked when he will complete his life plans (get married), Aaron replied, “You’re talking about something too far in the future! If I had any matters to announce, I will let everyone know.” Video Clip of Aaron Kwok’s Accident [video=youtube;eXKc5ZMag3M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXKc5ZMag3M[/video] Creds: Oriental Daily/Dramasian
