Chapter 1084 This Is Me
[The Parade] The last block of the performance, where a large audience had already gathered.
Some audience members came to the venue because it was where the performance ended, while others waited there because they knew in advance that this was Jiang Yuan's performance location.
"Chloe's performance is over, she should be here soon."
"It's such a pity that I didn't get to see Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingge's new duet live."
"They've all sung new songs in their collaborations, so there should be a new song performance later!"
"It should include it. Apart from one or two episodes of 'Live Audio,' it's mostly new songs that have been performed. With such a big production this time, it's impossible for them not to perform them."
"It's coming, it's coming, get ready to turn on the light sticks."
"Lend me two batteries."
At the final performance, many of Jiang Yuan's fans chatted excitedly while waiting.
As fans watched the exclusive bus for "Live Music" slowly come into view from afar, the entire street suddenly turned purple.
This change also greatly shocked some passersby and spectators at the scene.
After all, foreign singers like Chloe rarely have this kind of fan support.
Many passersby were experiencing such a scene for the first time, but it must be said that they instantly felt like they were at a large concert.
Jiang Yuan arrived on stage ahead of time, gazing at the purple-tinged street in the distance.
I truly felt the theme of this "parade" performance; it really felt like a parade on my own turf.
In addition, the song she was about to sing was quite exciting, which perfectly stirred up Jiang Yuan's emotions.
Even before the vehicles arrived at the performance venue, a large number of people had already gathered on both sides of the road.
Among them were some fans who had arrived too late to enter the performance audience area, and they were also warmly greeting Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan also paid close attention to the greetings from both sides of the street and responded in real time.
And so, the vehicles made a lively stop at the first performance point set up by the production team.
To prepare for her special performance time, Jiang Yuan changed into a different outfit than before and made her debut on stage with a new look.
A white shirt paired with a black vest, adorned with numerous metal accessories, adds a touch of metallic texture to the otherwise artistic outfit.
The vehicle came to a stop, and after the staff indicated that all equipment was ready for the performance, Jiang Yuan raised the microphone and began to greet the crowd amidst cheers.
"Hello everyone, I am singer Jiang Yuan."
During the self-introduction segment, Jiang Yuan also gave her introduction in both Chinese and English.
"Before arriving here, I also performed in several different neighborhoods with a few other singers."
"I must say, this was a very special performance experience, and I specially selected a few songs for today's performance."
Before the performance officially began, Jiang Yuan also said a few words, laying the groundwork for the performance that was about to begin.
"I was pleasantly surprised to see so much purple light on site today. I was supposed to start the performance right away, but I wanted to record the scene first."
As Jiang Yuan spoke, she took her phone from the staff and started filming videos of the fans at the scene.
Clearly, this is an interaction between Jiang Yuan and her fans.
It's not just about pandering to fans; this is also the meaning behind the fans' strenuous support.
Clusters of purple lights told Jiang Yuan that there were many of her fans in the audience, giving her confidence and letting her know that she was not facing a group of complete strangers.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan responded with her own actions, showing that she had seen this support.
In this way, both sides felt that the moment became particularly meaningful.
Moreover, the scene was never boring at all during Jiang Yuan's video shooting.
It was just like being at a concert. Whenever Jiang Yuan's camera focused on a certain area, the fans in that area would wave their light sticks and cheer loudly.
Although some passersby did not have light sticks, it did not stop them from joining in and shouting along.
Even before the performance started, the venue was already bustling with noise.
Singers like Yana, who are from Asia, are quite familiar with this kind of support, and at this moment they are quite envious that Jiang Yuan can have this level of support abroad.
From a certain perspective, this also distinguishes Jiang Yuan from singers like Yamada Masaru who only achieved top status in their own country.
As for Chloe, seeing such a scene, she simply had an idea in her mind: she also wanted to get herself a support light.
Thinking about it this way, he immediately started asking Yana and the others for advice.
On stage, Jiang Yuan filmed a whole bunch of videos before finally handing her phone back to the staff, completely satisfied.
"Everyone was really enthusiastic just now!" Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up in response to the cheers and support from the crowd.
"So, everyone, are you all ready to get this place rocking?" Jiang Yuan's voice became much louder as she held out the microphone to the audience.
At this moment, the response received was naturally very positive.
"Are you ready!?"
Jiang Yuan put the microphone away and asked again, completely adopting the demeanor of a concert performer.
Even casual audience members at the scene had already gained a considerable understanding of Jiang Yuan's performance level through online videos and her previous performances at several music festivals.
With much anticipation already building, the response from the audience grew increasingly enthusiastic.
"Viva La Vida"
After nodding in satisfaction at the response from the audience, Jiang Yuan announced the name of the first song she would perform.
After the introductions, a grand prelude played by string instruments immediately filled the venue.
It has been quite some time since Jiang Yuan first performed this song, and it has been on the charts for a considerable period of time, gaining widespread popularity.
As soon as the intro started, some audience members couldn't contain their excitement and began jumping and dancing to the rhythm of the song.
At the same time, performing in the last block is better than the previous performance locations in that there is also more hardware support for the performance.
For example, the stage lights will then turn on and start flashing in sync with the rhythm of the song.
I used to rule the world.
Jiang Yuan then arrived at the very front of the stage, at the front of the bus, and began her performance. The slow-moving vehicle, the reactions of the audience lining the streets, and the dazzling lights creating a harmonious ambiance perfectly complemented the lyrics of "Viva La Vida."
"This performance is practically tailor-made for the theme of 'parade'," Wang Hu couldn't help but remark from inside the carriage.
Wang Hu's evaluation also made Lu Qingge glance at him slightly.
After all, Lu Qingge and Wang Hu had already met on the show "Love Song Concert". This time, when they came to record "Sound Source Live", they could clearly feel the change in Wang Hu's attitude towards Jiang Yuan.
Especially after this collaboration, Wang Hu was basically the first guest to praise Jiang Yuan.
However, the evaluation of Jiang Yuan's performance this time was indeed fair, and people like Rachel basically shared the same opinion.
“I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing”
When the song reached the chorus, Jiang Yuan took off one of her in-ear monitors to get a feel for the atmosphere of the live performance.
This live performance was indeed a perfect match for the song "Viva La vida," and it could almost be called the most vibrant live performance ever.
Even those who weren't fans raised their arms to the music, starting a massive sing-along.
Li Xiaoyue and the rest of the production crew were also thrilled, feeling that they had captured a truly amazing scene.
The entire audience was completely immersed in the song, and even after the first song ended, there was still a lingering feeling of wanting more.
But one thing is certain: after this song, everyone at the scene, whether passersby or fans, was captivated by Jiang Yuan's performance.
The opening song, "Viva La Vida," successfully ignited the atmosphere at the venue.
Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, Jiang Yuan didn't say much, and the intro to the second song immediately followed.
The second song is another high-energy track, "Believer".
As soon as the melody started, the audience immediately began dancing to the rhythm again.
Halfway through the song, Jiang Yuan left the stage on the car and came down to the ground.
It suddenly got much closer to the audience.
They sang as they ran toward the final stage.
During the process, he also interacted with many audience members.
The audience watched as Jiang Yuan sang her song and ran onto the stage, where she finished the last part of the song.
After performing two songs and running a relatively long distance, Jiang Yuan resumed her talk with the audience.
On one hand, it was to calm down my somewhat disordered breathing during the talk, and on the other hand, it was to introduce the third song I would sing.
This is a new piece of music that Jiang Yuan specially prepared for this performance.
The fans at the scene had already anticipated that Jiang Yuan would be singing a new song, so as soon as she uttered a few words, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd.
The familiar reactions from the audience made Jiang Yuan feel as if she were back at her own concert, and she immediately relaxed a lot, continuing her words that had been interrupted by the cheers from the audience.
"Next, I will be performing a new song called 'This Is Me'."
Before introducing the song in detail, Jiang Yuan first announced the song's name.
This song is a classic interlude from the classic film "The Greatest Showman". From the perspective of the music itself, it is an excellent work.
However, without the support of a movie, Jiang Yuan gave a brief introduction to the song during the introduction segment.
"What I want to convey through this song might sound like motivational quotes, but it's what I really want to make you feel through my singing."
"Everyone is born a unique individual, and life is extremely limited, so don't be afraid to show the world your true self."
"Whether it's strengths or weaknesses, they all contribute to one's unique existence."
Jiang Yuan briefly explained her understanding of the song "This is Me" to the audience.
Having gained a general understanding and laid the groundwork, the audience has become somewhat curious about this new song.
"May everyone find their true selves in 'This Is Me'."
After saying the last sentence, Jiang Yuan had just caught her breath and gave the staff on site an OK sign.
The original version of this song was sung by a female singer, and it included many high-pitched sections, which made the whole song sound very powerful.
Therefore, performing this song live is a challenge for Jiang Yuan, especially since it is her first time performing on a newly built stage.
Even so, once the performance actually began, Jiang Yuan immediately got into character.
With the previous setup, the audience already knew that the song wouldn't be as high-energy as the previous two.
So when the soothing piano music mixed with a touch of white noise started playing in the prelude, the audience's mood also became peaceful.
With a gentle accompaniment, Jiang Yuan raised the microphone and began her performance.
"I'm not a stranger to the dark,
hide away they say
(I've grown accustomed to the darkness; I'm hiding, and they're shouting.)
When Jiang Yuanjin sang the first verse, she also showed a unique vocal charm that was different from the previous two songs.
The first two songs showcased the more powerful aspect of Jiang Yuan's voice.
When switching to this song, Jiang Yuan's voice suddenly became light and ethereal.
Even the stage design and lighting were perfectly matched with the lyrics of Jiang Yuan's song.
When Jiang Yuan sang the line about being used to the darkness, the stage lights were quite dim.
As Jiang Yuan continued her performance, the lights began to brighten.
"Cause we don't want your broken parts,
I've learned to be ahamed of all my scars
(Because we don't want to see you weak and helpless,)
I have learned from my past mistakes and feel ashamed of my many wounds.
In the main verses, Jiang Yuan's vocals gradually build up the song's emotion.
The lyrics of the song resonated with many viewers and also matched well with Jiang Yuan's talk introduction before she started singing.
The emotions were gradually built up, and soon the song reached its first turning point.
As the first drumbeat of the accompaniment struck, Jiang Yuan's singing began to gain more power.
