Chapter 19: The Concert Begins

In the darkness of the surroundings, the first thing that lit up was the huge screen at the back of the stage. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In the beginning, it was a city overlooking the vista, with towering skyscrapers and dense complexes of buildings.

"we_waiting_for......" The magnetic, deep male voice narrator sounded in a muttering tone, "nine_angels......"

Liu Kewei asked in a low voice, "This is Seoul, right?"

Che Guanglong replied softly: "It should be, South Korea is also a big city." ”

The camera then cuts between several close-ups: the streets, the highways, the Greek altarpiece-style building with the giant angels, the silhouette of the angel on the roof, a street scene with fallen leaves, a European-style church, the sun shining through the round windows painted with angels, the clouds that cover the sun gradually dissipating, and the pair of angels on two observation decks reflecting the sunlight brightens......

Wonderful background music sounded at the right time......

Close-up of the statue's wings, under the sunlight, the surface of the rock texture gradually cracks and peels, followed by the waist of the statue, the surface layer is also peeled off in the sunlight, switching to the panoramic view of the statue, in the falling rubble, an angel with long hair in a black shawl slowly rises into the air......

This was followed by two other angels on either side of the roof...... Another angel floated from the round window of the church...... Then switch to a close-up of the floating angel bust in turn......

Xu Xian...... Taeyeon ...... Su-young ...... jessica…… sunny…… Yun'er!" Liu Kewei, who was concentrated, whispered the name of the girl in the camera.

Five angels rise from the sky above the city...... Nine angels suspended in the clouds...... The angel's wings transformed into a girl in a white velvet hat, a long-sleeved crop top, hot pants, and high-heeled knee-high boots, smiling......

The camera changed again, in front of the red curtain background, a close-up of the half-length of a girl in white, with seven capital letters on her side, or the magnetic and low narration sounded: "Taeyeon (Taeyeon)!"

After a few seconds, the girl and the English illusion each turned into a ball of light that bloomed and fluttered like a ceremonial flower, and then switched to the next girl......

The narrator continues, "Yoona, Yuri, Jessica, Tiffany, Seohyun, Sunny, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, ......"

The camera cuts back to nine girls, who walk side by side from a distance, and then zoom out, and the "girls' generation" pink round font logo appears above the girls, the camera rises up, the logo occupies the center of the screen, and the girls gradually disappear below the screen......

"It's so well done, it looks like you're stepping off the screen. Che Guanglong praised it.

"ladys_and_gentleman, girls' generation......" Many stage lights flickered wildly, shining a series of light and dark pillars of light on the stage, and the narration sounded again.

The moving staircase at the bottom of the screen pushes to the sides, and the nine girls dressed in the same outfit as at the end of the video stand silently on the floor painted with the "girls' generation" logo, and then the floor moves towards the center of the stage, and the girls appear in front of the audience......

Amid the screams of the audience and the flickering fluorescence, the prelude to the music sounded, and the girls changed formations, first in a row, then in an inverted V-shape, and the rhythmic drums and songs sounded almost simultaneously.

The fat man scratched his head, this is the second song "Say Your Wish" that Liu Kewei played to him at the Pizza Hut restaurant.

However, simply listening to the music melody on the mobile phone is really different from coming to the scene to witness the performance.

The nine girls swung their arms, swung their waists, held their chests sideways, and kicked in unison...... It's so kind and pleasing to the eye, people can't help but indulge in the music and dancing......

The fat man kind of understands that curly hair is so obsessed with this Korean girl group.

After the song "Say Your Wish", the lights briefly went out for a few seconds, and the whole stage fell into darkness. Then a string of "show_me!show_me!" songs rang out, and the lights flashed again.

""Show!show!show!"" Liu Kewei said softly the title of the song.

The girls line up in a straight line at the back of the stage, march rhythmically, then divide into groups of three, turn around and walk back to the back of the stage, and then converge in the center, clapping their hands, twisting their waists, gently lifting their right feet, and stepping gracefully, their bodies slowly swaying to the melody. Then they lined up in a three-person formation, walking to the front of the stage with a model-like catwalk, showing the beauty of youth to the fullest.

Alternate hands stretching upwards, clapping high-fives, twisting shoulders, bowing, and circling...... The delicate figures of the nine girls in white on the stage kept changing with the music.

This was followed by the song "Girls' Generation".

"The style of this song is also closer to Japanese cartoons...... "Otaku muttered to himself.

Cha Guanglong nodded and said, "Well, listening to you say this, I don't think it really looks like a typical Korean song." ”

After hearing it, Liu Kewei leaned over and muttered quietly: "This is an old song from the late eighties, the original song is male singer Li Chengzhe, his version is more rock, and it became as cartoonish as it is now after rearranging the song for them to cover it." ”

"Japan's entertainment development has always been at the forefront of Asia, and the Korean Wave only emerged in the late 90s. The fat man frowned and recalled, "Before that, the more influential singers and artists in Asia were either from Hong Kong, Taiwan or Japan, so it's not surprising." ”

"It's okay to listen to it, you don't care if it's Korean style or Japanese style!" Liu Kewei complained, "Music has no nationality, and there are many Japanese and Korean songs covered by Hong Kong and Taiwan singers." ”

The fat man quipped: "Yo, it's surprising that you can say such a big truth with curly hair!"

The lights went out again, interrupting the whispering of the trio.

Another video clip played on the screen, a giant cactus, a western-style town...... Wanted posters with black letters on a yellow background whirl and pop up with busts of girls in cowboy hats in quirky and playful poses, and the background switches to vast deserts, narrow dirt roads, old-fashioned trains and railroad tracks...... The camera passes through a cave, and nine wanted notices are arranged in two rows in the center of the screen, the upper row is Yoona, Yuri, Sooyoung, Sunny, and Tiffany, and the next row is Teayeon, Jessica, Hyoyeon, and Seohyun. The huge windmills on either side of the wanted were spinning rapidly......

"What a mess this is!" Liu Kewei was stunned.

The fat man covered his mouth to suppress his laughter, and after finally calming down, he explained: "This is a wanted notice in the style of cowboy movies in the American West, and those should be historical shots of the American West just now." ”

"What's so funny about that?" asked Liu Kewei puzzled.

"It's nothing," the fat man replied with a strange expression, "I just think there's a strong sense of immediacy, from a mod for Mount & Blade, called 1866." ”

On the screen behind the stage, a huge song title was played: "Beginning".

"There are a few people who don't look the same, have they changed their clothes?" Che Guanglong asked casually.

Liu Kewei squinted and recognized, and replied, "I just wore a black cowboy hat and a black vest." ”

The girls were scattered in different positions on the double-decker stage and the movable staircase, leaning on the railing, cross-waisted, or sitting side by side, humming the lyrics one by one.

The lights went out again, and the girls on the stage and stairs faded into the darkness. At the front of the stage, a thick pillar of white light lit up, and a girl dressed as a cowboy stood handsomely with a gun in both hands.

"It's Xiaoyuan!" In the shouts of the audience, Liu Kewei softly called out her name.

The girl raised her gun, played with a bunch of guns, turned around, and shot backwards, and the lights were lit again in the fireworks splashing on the stage, and the other eight girls walked to the center of the stage from all over the place, and Xiaoyuan slowly lowered with the movable floor.

After a few lyrics, the girls turned around and walked a few steps and sat down on the movable staircase, at which time Hyoyeon also appeared from the upper stage and descended the stairs back to his teammates.

The nine women who gathered stood up one after another, walked to the center of the stage and lined up to finish singing the song.

The lights dimmed and brightened, and a Korean narration sounded, and the fat man only understood the word "jessica", followed by a string of drums that resembled military music, and the girls jumped in place.

Liu Kewei stretched out a finger to poke Che Guanglong's arm, and the latter reluctantly opened his mouth to translate: "Isn't there a subtitle on the screen? This is the introduction, saying that it is the next time to call for girls' generation, all stand up!

A blonde girl came out of the ranks, walked a few steps happily and then retreated, raised the microphone to speak, but the drum beat was not over, so she helplessly looked sideways at her teammates, showed a wry smile, took a few more steps in place, and then held the microphone in her right hand and raised her left hand to her forehead and gave a military salute and said: "Anihasio, Girls' Generation Jessica Hamida." ”

The blonde girl waved back into the group, and the Korean narration rang out again.

"Who is the crocodile or something? That's Yun'er!" This time Che Guanglong consciously spoke without waiting for Liu Kewei to poke him.

The long-haired girl on the right side of the team came to a short impromptu dance along with the music, and finally posed a scissor hand pose on her forehead, smiled and raised the microphone and said directly in Chinese, "Hello everyone! I'm Yun'er!"

"Yun'er is a wolf!" "Yun'er is a wolf!" Liu Kewei shouted with his hands dancing, but he was easily lost in the screams and shouts of the audience.

After a few more Korean narrations, Cha Kwang-ryong continued to translate: "I'm Lee Soon-gyu, Sunny. ”

A petite girl stepped out of the ranks, took a few steps and turned to dance, showing off a feminine back.

"Hello everyone, I'm sunny!" this one also spoke in Chinese.

Cha Kwang-ryong translated along with the Korean narration: "I am responsible for the average height of my girlhood. ”

A long-legged girl stepped out of the ranks, her knees together and arched like a snake, writhing like a snake, then turning to show her back, and then turning back to the front for a little hilarious dance.

"I miss you, I'm Xiuying!" The same scissor-hand style, but with a slightly weird Chinese accent.

Cha Guanglong continued to translate: "Girls' Generation also has Chu Ding, Jin Chu Ding, and Xiao Yuan. ”

In the background music of a nursery rhyme, the girl with the gun just now stepped out with childish dance steps and made a few cute poses.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Xiaoyuan, Jin Xiaoyuan!" is worthy of studying in Beijing for several months, and this one's spoken Chinese is quite standard.

"Call me a naughty ghost, Yuli. Che Guanglong then translated.

A wheat-skinned girl with her right hand raised, index finger up towards the sky, steps forward a few steps with catwalks, and then demonstrates a short fiery dance.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yu Li, it's a pleasure to see you!" the girl raised her left hand in her ear as if waving and listening, and then showed another sentence in Chinese, "Have you eaten?"

The audience erupted in cheers and laughter.

"The goddess is here, Xu Xian. Cha Guanglong continued to translate.

A girl stepped forward lightly, turning gracefully in a circle like a fairy in the woods.

"It's a pleasure to see you, I'm Xu Xian, welcome!" the girl smiled heartily and waved her hand and bowed.

The narrator lets out a weird "grin" grin.

Before the narrator could finish speaking, the long-haired girl in the middle of the queue hurried out a little shyly, stretched out her right hand forward, moved her left leg half a step sideways, and bowed her head in a pose.

Cha Guanglong translated along with the narrator: "Call me Jackson Wong, Tiffany." ”

The girl showed off a dance that mimicked Michael Jackson's classic hat and bowing backwards.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tiffany!" the girl waved her hand, made a deep bow of more than 90 degrees, and then said inexplicably, "It's love!"

Amid the unconscious shouts from the audience, the girl retreated to the queue and held hands with Jessica, shaking her arms back and forth.

"Perverted...... Yeon ......" Che Guanglong hesitated to translate.

The last girl who introduced herself stretched out her right hand and pointed to the audience, her fingers kept bending, and she walked out with domineering cat steps like a queen.

"Hello everyone, I'm Taeyeon. The girl waved her hand, said crisply, and then retreated into the queue.

The girls raised the microphone together and waved and bowed, saying in unison, "Hello everyone, we are Girls' Generation!"
