Chapter 1077 A Corner of Late Night
Late at night, Jiang Yuan was on his way back to the hotel in the vehicle arranged by the program team.
Looking at the streets and buildings receding outside the car window, my thoughts were a little confused, and I was also thinking about some of the audiences I had just invited in person.
Although the audience members were randomly selected and invited, it was obvious that the locations were also investigated in advance by the program team.
The few people I met who I could talk to were basically workers who worked until late at night.
Most people were confused when they heard Jiang Yuan invite them to a performance.
Many people's first reaction was to refuse. Fortunately, the Spring Festival Gala that Jiang Yuan had participated in before was quite valuable. Even migrant workers abroad have the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year, so they recognized Jiang Yuan.
That's how we invited some audiences.
It had been a long time since Jiang Yuan had personally recruited the audience, which made him more excited for the upcoming performance.
I also hope that my performance can bring some comfort to the audience.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan came back to his senses and took the initiative to communicate with Li Xiaoyue about the arrangement of the performance venue.
After the rehearsal that day, Jiang Yuan also came up with some new ideas for the stage design.
"That's no problem." After hearing the new request proposed by Jiang Yuan, Li Xiaoyue quickly agreed.
This time, the stage design is basically presented only by lighting and stage background animation.
Therefore, the program team can respond to the changes that Jiang Yuan wants in the first time.
It is also to create a more suitable performance atmosphere for one's own performance.
There wasn't much time between recruiting the audience and the official performance day.
Jiang Yuan also goes to the performance venue almost every day for a simple rehearsal to see how the performance turns out.
Although the song to be sung this time is not very difficult, Jiang Yuan also wants to present the song as well as possible.
At the same time, while chatting with Lu Qingge, Rachel and others, I also got a rough idea of the composition of the audience at this performance.
Compared with the audience at the previous recording site, the composition is indeed a little more complicated.
"After today's performance is over, we will announce the rules for the next performance to everyone."
On the day of the performance, during the preparation for the interview, Li Xiaoyue also revealed to Jiang Yuan some of the arrangements for the day's filming.
Earlier when arriving in Paris, Jiang Yuan had already learned that this night story-themed performance was more like a performance to help singers adapt to the program recording mode.
The second performance was the one that the program crew spent longer time preparing for.
So when Jiang Yuan heard Li Xiaoyue mention this arrangement, although he did not express it directly, he was still looking forward to the second recording in his heart.
But for the moment, I decided to focus more on the performance that was about to begin that day. In the post-interview, I also briefly explained my design for this stage.
After the interview, Jiang Yuan was taken by the stylist to do her makeup.
While the singers were preparing for the performance backstage, the audience also arrived one after another.
Different from the atmosphere in the audience seats at previous performances, there were some audience members who were obviously quite enthusiastic about the performance, or who knew more about today's performance.
After entering the venue, these audiences naturally started chatting.
When other singers invited the audience, they did not ask to conceal the existence of the show.
Therefore, many viewers have already learned that they came to the livehouse that day to record the program "Sound Source Live".
The last two episodes of "Sound Source Live" have gained relatively high popularity abroad, so most of the audience present are looking forward to today's performance.
Some audience members seemed unfamiliar with the atmosphere of this scene.
This naturally included some audience members who came at Jiang Yuan’s invitation. Although they were also somewhat excited, they were in an unknown state of mind about the upcoming performance.
Before the performance officially started, at the instruction of Jiang Yuan, the program team also distributed drinks to the audience.
It not only shows care for the audience, but also some of the scenes captured by the live camera can be regarded as a product placement for the sponsors of the program.
Although the composition of the audience was different, one thing that was clearly confirmed was that before the performance officially began, all the audience had high expectations for the show.
Amid the anticipation of the entire audience, the time finally arrived for the performance to start as originally scheduled.
Before the recording officially started, the live director took the microphone and stood on the stage to inform the audience that the performance was about to begin, which also caused the audience to cheer enthusiastically.
The staff on site also received the order at the same time and started to get busy.
The panoramic camera swept across the audience seats, capturing the audience cheering excitedly as they looked forward to the performance.
At this time, Jiang Yuan, Lu Qingge and several other singers sat on the sofa backstage to watch the live scene.
At the beginning of the performance, the big screen on site started playing a clip of nightlife shot by the program crew in the past two days.
These clips were basically chosen and shot according to the style of the songs that Jiang Yuan and others were going to perform.
As some audience members watched the short film, they felt as if silhouettes of their own lives appeared in the short film.
Just this short opening video made many audience members feel that they were more closely connected with the theme of today's performance.
After the short film ended, a girl in a black long skirt appeared on the stage and slowly sat down in front of the piano.
He was also the pianist who performed the opening act of the day's performance.
Jiang Yuan was very familiar with this pianist, Yu Yan who had joined his team.
At this time, he went on stage and performed a suite.
The opening piece was relatively peaceful. It was a very famous serenade in the world. The melody, played by Yu Yan's fingertips, was exceptionally elegant.
Even if the audience in the audience may not know how to appreciate it, they still think the melody is beautiful and moving.
And the originally slightly excited emotions seemed to be soothed by the piano music and became calm.
Backstage, Rachel and others expressed their admiration for Yu Yan's performance. Yu Yan had never been present at previous rehearsals, so for Rachel and others, it was the first time they had enjoyed Yu Yan's performance.
Everyone can feel Yu Yan's superb playing level.
After a classic serenade was finished, Yu Yan also switched to another song.
This song was relatively unfamiliar to Rachel and the others, but the two singers from Peninsula and Sakura looked at Jiang Yuan at this time. Because the second song played by Yu Yan was the song "Secret" that Jiang Yuan played in "Secrets That Cannot Be Told".
This movie was very popular on both Peninsula and Sakura. Jiang Yuan's performance in the movie was an absolute classic and was quite popular at the time. Yana also appreciated it many times.
After being shocked by Jiang Yuan's performance of the piece, Yu Yan also tried to practice and challenge the piece.
When it was played on the stage at this time, it successfully wowed the whole audience.
After playing like this, needless to say, the entire audience thought it was amazing.
So when Yu Yan stood up and saluted the audience, the audience clapped in unison, and the applause became continuous.
Yu Yan was also very happy that she had completed such a performance.
Such an opening immediately raised the tone of the performance.
At this time, Rachel, as the first singer to start performing, also stood up from her seat, greeted Jiang Yuan and others, and walked towards the stage.
According to Jiang Yuan's understanding of the singer Rachel, she is a very good veteran foreign singer with strong abilities.
But when Rachel appeared on the stage of today's performance, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that his understanding of the singer Rachel seemed to be a little superficial.
At least at today's scene, many viewers recognized Rachel at the first moment.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously exchanged a glance with Lu Qingge, and only then did he understand the national popularity of the singer Rachel.
Not all the audience members were invited by Rachel, but almost all of them knew who Rachel was.
Having such a singer opening the performance that night really impressed many audiences.
Under the attention of the whole audience, Rachel also began her performance.
The order of performance for this performance is also arranged according to the singers' song selection styles.
Rachel was arranged to open the show, and the song she sang was also a very atmospheric electronic dance music.
Almost as soon as the prelude of the song sounded, the audience began to sway to the rhythm of the song unconsciously.
Even Jiang Yuan hummed a few lines subconsciously in the background.
It's the typical case that people may not know the singer Rachel, but can sing along when the song starts.
The opening song sung by Rachel is obviously a pop song of this level.
It is also one of Rachel's representative works. This time, she brought it to the stage of "Sound Source Live". Rachel also made a special remix adaptation of the song, making the song that could originally ignite the atmosphere of the performance even more explosive.
Not only the audience at the scene, but also Jiang Yuan and others in the backstage stood up from their seats unconsciously and danced along with the whole song.
After the performance, Jiang Yuan and others applauded like the audience.
While applauding, Jiang Yuan was also thinking that it was indeed worth the money to invite a singer like Rachel to participate in the recording of "Sound Source Live".
After all, according to Jiang Yuan's understanding, the announcement fee for a singer of Rachel's level is indeed not cheap.
But with a performance of this level, the ticket price is worth it, not to mention that Rachel can be invited to participate in the final music festival later.
It can be regarded as inviting a mainstay back to the music festival in advance.
After the song was finished, Rachel went home with great satisfaction.
Although this is a song that has been sung many times, this remixed version was sung live for the first time, giving Rachel some fresh performance experiences.
The most crucial point is that singers of Rachel's level rarely perform live on such a small scale, and even the performance perspective is relatively fresh.
Subsequent performances continued one after another, and everyone used songs to interpret their own definition of the night.
Each song is paired with corresponding stage performance, bringing an immersive performance to the audience.
The styles are very varied, and there is even a large span between each singer's performances.
But even though the gap is huge, there are audiences off the stage who can appreciate this style.
This is also where this night's theme performance is slightly different from the previous recordings.
In previous performances, everyone would more or less consider what kind of response their performance would cause on the spot, and would also take this aspect into consideration when choosing songs.
But in this night-themed performance, Jiang Yuan felt that the singers seemed to have let go and just went on stage to interpret the performances they wanted to complete.
After listening to each song, Jiang Yuan felt that this was a very pure performance.
In this performance, Jiang Yuan was still the last singer to appear on stage.
After the previous singers finished their performances, the audience was quite amazed by the recording of "Sound Source Live".
On the one hand, the participating singers are indeed very popular, with both popularity and talent. The singing level of each song is very good, ensuring the listenability of the performance.
Another aspect is the visuals of the stage, although the props in various aspects are not as complicated as previous performances.
But both the corresponding animation presented on the stage screen and the lighting on the scene made the audience feel amazing.
When it was Jiang Yuan's turn to perform, the staff simply and quickly set up the scene.
There weren’t too many complicated props, just a chair with an armchair on the stage, and a veil hanging from the top of the scene, hiding the chair in the haze.
After the arrangement was completed, the audience also saw a figure appear on the stage and sit down on a chair.
The person who came on stage was Jiang Yuan, but he was shrouded in a veil, making him a little more hazy.
Below the stage, the audience who came to the scene at the invitation of Jiang Yuan were all staring at the direction of the stage intently.
As the lights changed, only a beam of light shone on Jiang Yuan, and the name of the song being sung this time appeared on the screen on the side.
"Late Night Corner"
As the prelude of the song sounded, the stage lighting changed.
The veil seemed to flutter in the wind and floated to a corner of the stage, and the full scene on the stage was finally revealed to the audience.
From the visual presentation on the screen behind him, Jiang Yuan seemed to be sitting in a small room.
A white sweatshirt and blue French work pants are paired together without much thought.
Amid the somewhat sad prelude laid out by guitar and strings, Jiang Yuan picked up the microphone and began to sing.
