Chapter 968 Anniversary Field
After leaving the airport, Jiang Yuan felt that the whole journey was very lively.
The news that he would be a guest at the Blue Light Band's concert had not yet started to spread, but it seemed that many people at this airport already knew that he was coming.
Although the release of the album "Healing" has indeed increased Jiang Yuan's popularity in Europe and the United States recently, Jiang Yuan thought that he had been quite low-key this time and it shouldn't be so obvious.
"It seems we have found the reason." After picking up the luggage and arriving at the airport exit, Zhang Qing suddenly said to Jiang Yuan.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yuan had been walking quickly with his head down. When he heard Zhang Qing say that, he looked up curiously.
At first glance, I was indeed somewhat stunned by the scene before me.
Earlier, Jiang Yuan had received a message from Paul saying that he would come to the airport to pick her up. According to Jiang Yuan's own thoughts, he might have parked the car nearby.
But what Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that Paul got out of the car directly and stood at the airport exit waiting for him.
And around Paul, there was probably a crowd of people, not sure whether they were his fans or fans of the Blu-ray Band.
Although Jiang Yuan had a lot of experience in airport pickups, he had never seen such a scene before.
It took a little while for him to react and then he went up to Paul to say hello and give him a hug.
"Why did you just come to pick me up like this?" After saying hello, Jiang Yuan followed Paul's footsteps with some surprise.
"Well, I originally wanted to stay in the car and not be so conspicuous, but I was discovered when I got off the car to buy coffee, so I just waited for you here." Paul said, taking out a cup of coffee from the paper bag he was carrying and handing it to Jiang Yuan.
"And the news of your guest appearance at the concert hasn't been announced yet. Everyone should have guessed it by now." Paul said after thinking for a while.
At that moment, Paul was indeed thinking about creating some momentum for his concert.
On weekdays, concerts are commonplace for the Blu-ray Band, and tickets for every show are sold out quickly in a short period of time, so there is no need for any publicity.
But the performance this time is different as Jiang Yuan was invited as a guest.
In addition to being performed in Paul's hometown, the day of the performance also happened to be the anniversary of the formation of the Blu-ray Band.
It is also because of this that Paul wants this memorable performance to receive more attention.
It was only when Paul mentioned it that Jiang Yuan knew that he was attending the anniversary concert. He was a little surprised, as he had originally thought it was just an ordinary concert.
"Then are we going to rehearse now?" After getting in Paul's car, Jiang Yuan asked while waving to the fans outside the window.
After knowing that it was an anniversary performance, Jiang Yuan immediately became more concerned about this performance.
Originally, in addition to the songs I was going to sing solo, I also wanted to perform a song in collaboration with the Blu-ray Band. However, we only discussed it roughly and it has not been finalized yet.
"Let's wait until tomorrow. You just flew over. I'll take you for a good tour."
Perhaps because he was in his hometown, Jiang Yuan felt that Paul exuded a sense of contentment and relaxation.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan naturally followed the host's wishes. After all, there were still two days before the Blu-ray Band's concert.
Jiang Yuan thought that if he caught up the next day, there shouldn't be any big problems.
"Don't worry, we have already designed the arrangement. You just need to work on the vocal with me tomorrow." Paul then said to Jiang Yuan, which indeed made Jiang Yuan feel a lot more relaxed.
Over the next day, Paul fulfilled his duties as a host and took Jiang Yuan on a tour of his hometown.
While Jiang Yuan had a full schedule, he was able to fully experience the charm of the city and taste many authentic local delicacies.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if Paul didn't go to sing and just served as a tour guide, he would also be able to do a good job.
"Let's rehearse together tomorrow morning." Paul said to Jiang Yuan after they finished shopping that day.
Originally according to Jiang Yuan's idea, they should have a formal rehearsal on site.
But what Paul said was to let Jiang Yuan go to the place where the Blue Light Band and others lived, to put the song together first, and also have a meal together.
This reminded Jiang Yuan of the time when he was recording "World Songs", and he prepared for the roadshow in the same way every time.
That night, because of the fatigue from the flight and the fact that he had been concentrating on walking around with Paul for a long time, Jiang Yuan fell asleep as soon as he arrived at the hotel.
The sleep quality was very good throughout the night and I hardly woke up.
So the next day, Jiang Yuan took a car directly to Paul's house on the outskirts of the city and began rehearsing with Paul and others.
"After I contacted you yesterday, the topic of our concert became a hot search trend."
After the meeting, Paul and others reviewed the situation of the previous day with Jiang Yuan.
It was just as Paul expected. Fans saw Paul driving to the scene to pick up Jiang Yuan.
No matter how I think about it, I don't think Paul would go to the airport to pick me up for no reason.
Thinking about the concert the next day, everyone's questions were answered immediately, and they all guessed the obvious result that Jiang Yuan would be the guest of the concert.
Because we had previously recorded "World Songs" together and had experience working together.
Fans of the Blue Light Band are relatively familiar with Jiang Yuan. In addition, Jiang Yuan also recently released a new album "Healing", making him a hot singer in the music scene.
So after getting this answer, everyone generally welcomed Jiang Yuan's performance in the anniversary concert.
While Jiang Yuan was rehearsing with Paul and others, he also searched for information about himself on the Internet.
The main concern is whether I will be excluded when performing at the Blue Light Band’s anniversary concert. After all, not all fans like to have guests at the concert.
So Jiang Yuan was a little worried that he might not be welcomed, but after searching on the Internet, he found that he seemed to be worrying too much.
The topic of himself being a guest at the Blu-ray Band concert was not particularly popular on the Internet. At least that was the result that appeared after Jiang Yuan searched his name.
Even when it was mentioned or discussed, most people were somewhat surprised at Jiang Yuan's appearance.
Most of the discussions have even begun to speculate what kind of collaboration show Jiang Yuan and the Blue Light Band will perform at the concert.
After calming down, Jiang Yuan also devoted himself to the rehearsal with the Blue Light Band in a more relaxed state.
The day before the official rehearsal, although Jiang Yuan participated in the rehearsal, he still spent the day in a very relaxed manner. Whether it was rehearsing the music or the rest of the time, it was like participating in a gathering among friends.
It seems that because this concert is the anniversary of the formation of the Blu-ray Band, when several people get together, they tend to sigh that time flies.
Everyone seemed very emotional and shared a lot of their life experiences with Jiang Yuan.
The experiences that Paul and others of this age shared with Jiang Yuan can indeed serve as a reference.
For example, the methods he learned from Paul about how to maintain vocal function early on, and the sharing and guidance on hobbies that were more practical also made Jiang Yuan feel very happy.
When I returned to the hotel at the end of the day, I felt that I had gained a lot.
The next day was the official rehearsal time for the Blue Light Band concert.
Although the rehearsal time Jiang Yuan had previously agreed upon was not to start until the evening, Jiang Yuan had nothing else to do, so he simply arrived at the site a little earlier in the afternoon to watch the rehearsal of the Blu-ray Band.
“This venue is pretty good.”
After arriving at the scene, Jiang Yuan discovered that given the size of the Blu-ray Band's fans, this concert was not held in a stadium, but in a small indoor venue.
"Because it is Paul's hometown, this venue is more suitable for performances. Many singers who come here will choose to perform here." Zhang Qing explained to Jiang Yuan and learned the relevant information in advance.
"I really want to hold one here." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but agree.
When Jiang Yuan entered the venue, he happened to run into Paul and others who were rehearsing a very famous song of the band.
The venue's lighting was fully operational, and since it was indoors, it looked no different from a formal concert.
Jiang Yuan looked around the venue and found that the entire venue was a slightly curved space.
And it's not just the stage, the entire venue is surrounded by a layer of skylight.
In this way, during the performance, the skylight can be combined with the stage design to create a more dreamy and shocking effect. Jiang Yuan was stunned as soon as he entered the venue.
He sighed, took out his phone and shot a short video, then found a seat and sat down.
"This is quite similar to the venue where I recorded the performance of "World Songs" before." Jiang Yuan pondered for a while and remembered that he had performed in a similar venue before.
"Do you want to hold a show here later?" Zhang Qing asked after seeing Jiang Yuan's intention.
"If you have overseas plans, then you should come," Jiang Yuan thought about it and nodded.
It would have been fine if I hadn't seen it in person before, but after experiencing it with my own eyes today, I feel that it is quite necessary to hold such a special performance.
“I’ll be able to get on stage and experience it during rehearsal later, but it’s also nice to be here as an audience now.”
Sitting in the audience, Jiang Yuan seemed very comfortable, as if he was here to watch a concert.
Moreover, during the rehearsal, there were almost no audience members on site, giving people the feeling that they were watching a pure enjoyment version.
"I'll ask the Blu-ray Band's team later." After getting Jiang Yuan's answer, Zhang Qing has already put holding a performance at this venue on his to-do list.
"I'll start a vlog and record a short clip." After sitting and watching for a while, Jiang Yuan thought about it and took out his mobile phone to take a selfie with the stage.
"Record the last trip before returning home, the anniversary concert of the Blue Light Band."
"I am here as a guest and also as an audience member."
Jiang Yuan held up his phone and shook it slightly towards the stage, then turned the camera back, explained a bit, and filmed an opening statement for this vlog.
Indeed, the vlogs shot after Jiang Yuan went abroad can indeed be called a series.
In this way, this episode filmed at the Blu-ray Band concert can be considered the end of the series.
"Let me show you the stage effects with almost no audience time." After the opening remarks, Jiang Yuan also took a surround shot of the stage and the entire venue again.
By the time Jiang Yuan’s vlog was released, the Blu-ray Band’s concert had already ended, so there was no need to worry about spoilers for the concert.
"How was it? The effect was stunning, wasn't it? If we have an overseas tour in the future, this will definitely be one of the stops."
Jiang Yuan said this and set a flag for himself in his vlog.
I stayed at the concert alone for quite a long time, and got a more detailed understanding of the rehearsal process of the Blu-ray Band concert.
When it was almost time for the rehearsal, Paul and others discovered that Jiang Yuan had already arrived at the scene, and they quickly called Jiang Yuan to the stage.
"How did you feel about it?" Knowing that Jiang Yuan had been watching the show in the audience for quite some time, he also asked about his impressions.
"Very good. After watching it, I want to come here to hold a show." Jiang Yuan nodded and shared his true thoughts.
"Really?" Paul laughed after hearing that. "When I first knew there was such a venue in my hometown, our band unanimously decided to perform here."
“Over the years, I have performed at this venue many times, but each time I perform, the feeling is a little different.”
Paul then shared it with Jiang Yuan.
After talking on the stage for a while, Jiang Yuan began to put on his equipment and started the formal rehearsal with Paul and others.
Since they had rehearsed together the day before, it didn't feel out of place for Jiang Yuan to join the Blu-ray Band.
There are two songs to be arranged, one for chorus and one for solo.
The singing process went smoothly without any mistakes. The only thing was that it was the first time for Jiang Yuan to see the stage design specially designed for the performance of his two songs. It took him a little time to get used to it.
Overall, the rehearsal went smoothly.
After the rehearsal that day, because the sound in the venue could not be transmitted outside, the fans were still in a state of uncertainty as to what kind of collaboration would be performed the next day.
On the day of the performance, Jiang Yuan was not the main star after all, so he did not start preparing early.
In the morning, he still strolled leisurely to the cafe near the hotel to have breakfast. However, it was also during this period of time that Jiang Yuan discovered that the city he was in had suddenly changed a lot compared to the previous two days.
The Blu-ray-related details everywhere make the city look like the Blu-ray band's Pain City.
