Chapter 184: Resolutely Don't Show Your Face
"Next, please enjoy the original new song brought by Gong Chen to everyone - "Faded". www.biquge.info"Seeing that the musicians on the stage were all in place, Nie Song stopped talking nonsense, and directly announced loudly and left the stage.
The light dimmed, and the lights above the stage all changed from bright white to a deep blue with mystical and psychedelic colors. At this time, Gong Chen also reached out and pulled up the hood on the back of his clothes and put it on his head. Although the delicate face was obscured from the edges of the sides, making her face immediately look much more elongated, the curly hair peeking out from the right cheek and the middle of the hat gave her figure a lovely playfulness in its mystery.
"It's really the same dress. If it weren't for the fact that he still had to sing, would Gong Chen also have to be covered. However, this image is more compatible with the current stage environment. Some viewers commented in their hearts after seeing Gong Chen's action of putting on his hat.
The man in black with his back to the audience slowly raised his hands, and when the big screen at the scene gave him a shot, the audience found that he was still wearing a pair of black gloves with exposed fingers on his raised hands. Because the five violins don't need a special conductor, the audience guessed that most of them were also musicians, but they had never seen a musician playing an instrument with gloves on the show. When everyone looked at this person, they felt that this guy was so cool that they couldn't do it, and at the same time, they also felt more and more that he was mysterious.
When his hand stopped, the five violinists moved together, and the keyboardists in the live band began to play with the sound of the piano. A combination of violin and piano sounded, and it felt very grandiose. Just hearing this prelude, many viewers began to get slightly excited.
After a short passage in the prelude to the violin, there is a brief pause in the accompanying music. The black-clad masked man standing in front of him with his hands raised lowered his hands, turned around and ran to a black grand piano by the side of the stage and sat down.
"This song is so good!" is just a prelude, and many viewers have already been deeply intrigued.
“YouWereTheShadowToMyLight,DidYouFeelUs? AnotherStar, YouFadeAway..."In the piano solo of the man in black, Gong Chen raised the microphone in his hand and sang. As soon as her beautiful and slightly sad voice sounded, everyone at the scene suddenly felt goosebumps all over their bodies, and their hairs seemed to stand on end.
“WhereAreYouNow~?” From the fifth sentence onwards, an electronic melody was added to the accompaniment, and Gong Chen's voice became more and more ethereal and ethereal, and the audience who listened to it let out a moan of extreme enjoyment in their hearts. The man in black who was playing at the piano stood up again and walked slowly behind the DJ's booth at the back and top of the stage. Only then did everyone find out that this guy was still the live DJ of Gong Chen's song.
“WhereAreYouNow?WasItAllInMyFantasy? WhereAreYouNow? WereYouOnlyImaginary?” With the hands of the DJ in black operating on the DJ booth, the sound of electronic percussion also appeared in the accompaniment.
Although it is an English song, the lyrics of this song are not difficult for most viewers. So the audience was not only moved by the melody of the song, but also immersed in the mood of the song. When Gong Chen was repeating the words "Where are you now?", many viewers also unconsciously remembered the "you" that they couldn't get and couldn't let go of in their hearts. Is it my fantasy or is it just my imagination at all? The confusion on Gong Chen's expression when singing and the questions in the lyrics also make her singing voice not only ethereal and ethereal, but also give people a dreamy, even psychedelic feeling. The audience at the scene was also completely lost in this song.
No matter what world a good piece of music is in, it will shine. This song is a relatively clean electronic music song, but it has the power to shock the hearts of the audience. Gong Chen and Chen Chen were able to win the championship with "I Can Only Accompany You Here" in the last episode, which has shown that the audience at the scene not only likes the extremely intense and exciting electronic music, but also this kind of dreamy, light and ethereal lyrical songs, which can also move them.
The whole song is only a little more than three minutes, and a lot of the same words and melodies are repeated in it, but the audience still feels intoxicated when they listen to this song. Compared with the choral songs in the previous issue, Gong Chen's solo this time seems to have improved a notch in terms of voice and emotional expression, as well as the feeling of the melody of the song itself.
During Gong Chen's singing of this song, the audience did not let out a lot of cheers and screams, and there was not much applause in the middle, but when the performance ended, Gong Chen put down his hand holding the microphone in the stopped music, and the audience erupted into an extremely warm applause, cheers and screams. Even some of the audience stood up excitedly and gave Gong Chen a round of applause.
At this time, Gong Chen was not in a hurry to bow to the audience, but stretched out his hand to signal to the black-clad and masked live DJ, and it was not until he walked to Gong Chen's side in the middle of the stage that Gong Chen pulled him to bow and thank the audience at the scene.
"Damn, who is this DJ? It's the first time in so many episodes of the show that a singer has brought a live DJ to the stage to thank the audience. When the audience saw Gong Chen's move, they were a little puzzled.
"It can't be Xiao Yao, right? I watched Shonan Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party, and Xiao Yao was a live DJ on it. Some viewers speculated.
"Can't it, isn't Xiao Yao not participating in this show because he wants to go to school? If it's really Xiao Yao, isn't he breaking his promise and getting fat and slapping himself in the face?"
"That's why he has to be masked. ”
"it, those musicians who play the violin and cello are all dressed the same way, and they are also masked, and Gong Chen's dress is also not bad with them, which is obviously the stage effect designed, in order to match the performance of this song. This person has a more important position in Gong Chen's song, he is a piano soloist, and a live DJ, probably because Gong Chen wanted to thank him for pulling him along. ”
The audience talked a lot, but the mystery was not revealed in public. After bowing to the audience, the black-clad and masked live DJ left the stage and ran back backstage with the five similarly dressed violinists.
"Thank you Gong Chen for your wonderful performance. After the performance, the host Nie Song stood on the stage again and said to Gong Chen with admiration on his face, "This is really a very, very beautiful song that can touch people's hearts." ”
"Thank you!" Gong Chen nodded in thanks to Nie Song's evaluation.
"It's rare that this is still an original new song in English, and our show can become the debut stage of this song, which makes me feel that the grade of our show has improved a lot. This creator Xiao Yao really doesn't know how to describe it. Nie Song continued.
"Xiao Yao wrote a Korean song in the last issue, isn't it so surprising to write another English song?" Shazhou interjected and laughed, "What's more, Xiao Yao's original album that has been released also has two songs in English." It's not uncommon for him to be able to write songs in English. ”
"That's right," Nie Song nodded, looked at Wan Peiling and said, "Captain Wan Peiling, what do you think of the performance of Gong Chen, a member of his team just now, are you still satisfied?"
"Of course I am satisfied, I couldn't be more satisfied. Wan Peiling nodded again and again, looked at the audience and said loudly, "What do you think of Gong Chen's performance?"
"Good!"
"Awesome!"
"Heavenly!"
The audience shouted in a mess, but all of them were shouts of praise.
"Captain Wan Peiling, I still have one more question," Nie Song looked at Wan Peiling and continued, "What happened to the DJ and a few violins just now? They were startled when they first appeared, I thought that a few masked robbers rushed in the scene, how did you come up with such a special costume and stage design?"
"You can ask me about this," Wan Peiling laughed, "because I didn't design these at all." ”
"It's not you? Could it be Xiao Yao, the creator of the song? Isn't he studying in Yanjing? It can't be that he came to Yangcheng?" In addition to Wan Peiling, Nie Song can only think of Xiao Yao, it won't be Shazhou who helps them design the stage, right? Although the two Huaxia captains have a good relationship, they can't do this in this show, and he still has his own team members to perform to be busy.
"Xiao Yao can't come to school, but Gong Chen can go over. Wan Peiling said with a smile, "This week, Gong Chen has been in Yanjing, using weekends and evenings to practice and prepare for the performance of this song with Xiao Yao. The stage design was Xiao Yao's idea, and the violinists were arranged by Xiao Yao, and the costumes for the performance were naturally Xiao Yao's handiwork. ”
"As far as I know, Gong Chen doesn't seem to be in Yangcheng this week. Nie Song nodded, "I had the same guess as the audience before, and I thought that the masked live DJ would be Xiao Yao, but when you say that, it doesn't seem to be quite like it." Now that Gong Chen has already passed, he doesn't seem to have any reason to come over again. ”
"That's a helper I hired. Gong Chen said with a smile.
"Can you give us a specific introduction?" Nie Song said to Gong Chen, "Several of the live DJs in our show are the top in the industry, I don't know who this one you invited is? Looking at his performance just now, he is also very powerful, why don't we invite him out again and let him unveil the mask to show everyone?"
The live DJ plays a very important role in every performance in this show, and it is also a highlight of the show, and it is also the object that the show wants to show everyone. Otherwise, there will be a fixed close-up shot of the live DJ for a certain amount of time in every performance. Since Gong Chen found a live DJ by himself, Nie Song wanted to take advantage of the situation to let him make an appearance and help promote it.
"Hmm... The DJ's identity is kept secret and he doesn't want to make an appearance. Gong Chen said, "As long as everyone likes the song just now, this performance, all of us who participated in the performance just now will be very satisfied." ”
The live DJ who can be invited by Gong Chen to the middle of the stage to take a curtain call together, except for Xiao Yao, naturally there will be no one else. After being reminded by Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao, who remembered AlanWalker's live performance in his previous life, naturally also thought of his unique dress when performing live. In addition to matching the overall style of the performance, the black hood and masked shape just solved Xiao Yao's embarrassment of "seeing people without a face".
So he borrowed the dress from the live performance in his memory, and made himself and the five violinists also dressed in black and masked and hats, including Gong Chen, who also wore a long black sweatshirt and hat like Iseline Solheim during the live performance.
Since he used the same outfit, Xiao Yao simply printed the distinctive iconic letters on the back of the clothes. He is not Alan Walker, and naturally he will not print AW. When the album was released, the cover had his initials on it, and he printed the letters on the backs of several people's clothes.
This is a performance costume that matches the style of the song's performance, plus there are a total of seven people dressed on the stage, and there are six masked people, even if some people speculate that he is Xiao Yao who performs piano solo and operates electronic music equipment on the scene like AlanWalker, but in the absence of an appearance, all speculation can only be speculation. As long as he doesn't show his face in public, no one can say with certainty that he Xiao Yao is back and fat again.
The scene knew that Xiao Yao was present, except for Gong Chen, that is, the five violinists who were dressed like Xiao Yao and came from Yanjing together. The mask on Xiao Yao's face had not even been taken off during the rehearsal and backstage preparations, and even the two captains, Shazhou and Wan Peiling, as well as Chen Chen and Fan Linxuan, who had a very good relationship with Xiao Yao, didn't know that Xiao Yao had secretly come to Yangcheng. And the six people who knew about it had promised that they would never expose Xiao Yao's identity.
Now Nie Song wants Xiao Yao to come back and remove the mask in public on the stage, Xiao Yao will definitely not agree to be killed, so Gong Chen helped him refuse without thinking about it.
