Chapter 340: Mao Aono
The cosplay on stage this time is the immortal myth of the future manga industry, Araki Fei Rouhiko, and this time the character he is dressed up as the protagonist of Zhao Chen's work, Ash!
The reason why he is dressed as Ash, Araki Fei Lu Yan himself is also helpless, because the protagonists of his current works are basically muscular men. Rather than acting like being laughed at, it is better to play the protagonist of Zhao Chen's works.
Excluding muscular heroes such as Monkey King, Araki Fei Lu Yan finally chose Ash, the protagonist of "Pokemon", in addition to the more imaginary figures of the two, in addition, he thinks Ash's hat looks very good, and there are several styles of hats.
Unlike the sloppy version of Lelouch played by Yoshihiro Tomiyatsu, Araki is a rare handsome guy in the manga industry, although his appearance is a little different from Ash, but after some dressing, the similarity with Ash has obviously improved. Also because of his good appearance, the audience sees more like an adult version of Xiao Zhi, with an imaginary temperament, but obviously more mature.
Araki Fei Lu Yan looked left and right, and made a helpless expression and said, "Yo Xi, where is my Pikachu?" Forget it, use the other sprites, go for it, Poké Balls! ”
After saying that, Araki Fei Lu imitated Ash's movements and put his hat on the other side, took out a simulated plastic Poké Ball, and threw him out of the stands.
The Poké Balls are made entirely of lightweight plastic, which doesn't hurt anyone, but rather makes the audience watching below snatch it.
When one of the lucky spectators grabbed the Poké Ball, he hugged it with an expression of not giving anyone. As for the other spectators, they could only stare at Araki Fei Lu Yan on the stage, hoping that Araki Fei Lu Yan would throw a few more other equipment.
"Alright, my show is over!" Araki showed a mouthful of white teeth. Waving his hand back behind the scenes, disappointing the audience below.
"It's our turn!" After watching a few more cosplay shows, Zhao Chen said a word to Gui Zhenghe next to him, and then the two of them walked towards the backstage together to make some necessary preparations.
In addition to Yoshihiro Tomiyasu and Hirohiko Araki, other manga artists such as Tetsuo Hara, Masami Sada and Tsukasa Hojo have all cosplayed. There will also be performances.
For famous cartoonists, although the significance of the comic convention is not great, they will still participate, in addition to wanting to experience it, just to take care of Zhao Chen's face as much as possible.
Zhao Chen himself knew this, but he didn't say anything, everyone just knew it in their hearts. However, it is best for him to participate, and he will not be prejudiced if he can't participate.
In the midst of preparation and waiting, it was soon Gui Zhenghe's turn. And the next one is Zhao Chen.
There are many kinds of cosplay performances, and you can not only imitate the sounds and movements of the original book, but also sing and dance spontaneously.
However, Gui Zhenghe obviously doesn't have that awareness, in his opinion, his image of playing a madness is not good anyway, so it is better to deal with it casually.
So, Gui Zhenghe, who was on stage, casually imitated a few movements of the wild swinging of Muramasa, although the imitation was much different from the original work. It didn't look like he had any momentum at all, but the audience below still gave him applause.
Wait until Gui Zhenghe steps down. The curtains slowly closed together, covering the stage.
"Now I invite Mr. Zhao Chen to bring us his performance program - "Bird Poem"!"
When the emcee's voice just fell, the curtains slowly opened to both sides, and most of the audience suddenly became excited, many of them were comic fans, and naturally hoped to see Zhao Chen's program on the spot. Although they are not familiar with the term "Bird Poem" at all.
In addition to them, many people who were watching around the comic con also rushed to this side after hearing this, and the seats below that were still quite large were immediately occupied, and many people were sitting underneath.
There are even many people with cameras in their hands, ready to take pictures when Zhao Chen comes out.
And except for the camera. Not far away, there are several rented cameras recording faithfully. The purpose is to film the cosplay program and then cut and paste it and then broadcast it on the TV station.
When the curtain was lifted on the stage, a Kirbymon and a piano appeared in front of the audience.
"Wow, isn't this the Kirby beast that was at the door before!"
"Ah, I knew that Kirbymon was Zhao Chen, I must take a photo with him!"
"Haha, fortunately, I was smart enough to take a picture with Kirbymon at that time!"
"I regret not being at the beginning!" ……
Most of the audience in the audience had seen Kirbymon, because when they entered the venue, Kirbymon and Katsura Zhenghe were dressed as 'models' at the door. It's just that they never thought that the dignified and ever-changing man would pretend to be a Kirby beast and stand at the door stupidly, is this to experience life, which made many viewers sigh.
"Mom, it's Kirbymon!" The little girl named Yiyi also came to the audience with her mother at this time, and after being picked up by her mother, the little girl found that there was a round Kirby beast sitting on the stage, and couldn't help but shout. As for the name Kirbymon, her mother had just inquired about it, and she didn't expect her daughter to remember it so quickly, could it be the credit of the lollipop?
"Yes, Yiyi, but we need to be quiet for now, so as not to disturb others." Looking at the audience with a strong atmosphere, the little girl's mother was puzzled for a while, but when she heard that the Kirby beast was played by Zhao Chen, she immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
When he was preparing, Zhao Chen unzipped the two hands and mouth of the Kirby Beast puppet, revealing his hands and face.
"I'm glad you all to be part of this Comic-Con, and I'm going to play and sing a song for you now!"
As soon as Zhao Chen's words fell, the audience immediately burst into strong applause, and then the entire venue fell into calm, and the audience all made expressions of listening.
Zhao Chen played the piano version of "Bird Poem" this time, and he also sang it. This song can be said to be quite familiar to him in his previous life, and it is also one of the songs he can take.
The song "Bird's Poem" is the theme song for the game "AIR" released by Key in 2000 and the TV anime of the same name by Kyoto Animation in 2005. Although it had been published for many years at the time, its popularity remained undiminished more than a decade later, and it was hailed as the national anthem of the ACG world.
Among them, "Bird Poetry" is also one of the longest songs in the love game "AIR". The whole piece is 6 minutes and 8 seconds long. But there is a difficulty in this song, that is, it is best to change the vocal range during the singing, and the vocal range of Lia, the future singer of "Bird Poetry", is from F4 to D6, almost two octaves, which is not easy.
However, in this regard, Zhao Chen is also prepared. After some temporary cramming, I was barely able to sing this song. As for whether he can reach the level of the next generation, he doesn't care.
There are many versions of "Poetry of Birds", but whether it is the original soundtrack, piano version or background music version, it can be sounded at the most appropriate time, and it fits the picture seamlessly. Shinji Orito's composition, Lia's profound singing skills, accompanied by a light and comfortable melody, vividly interpret the "Bird Poem" in the blue sky.
Zhao Chen naturally has the memory of "Bird Poem" in his mind, but he doesn't need to put a page of music score on the piano stand. The director gives people an unfathomable feeling when he plays, and with his skillful piano technique, it is no wonder that many people have become fans of his music.
After the light melody sounded, Zhao Chen played the piano music while singing to the microphone placed on the piano stand. Compared with the soothing tune of "Fairy Tale", "Bird Poem" is undoubtedly much more difficult, but fortunately, Zhao Chen's piano level is much stronger than a few years ago, and he can barely interpret this song.
"It's the first time I've heard Zhao Chen sing. Didn't expect it to be so good! ”
"Me too! Putting aside the subjective consciousness, this song is also quite classic. It's worthy of Zhao Chen! ”
"That's, don't look at who the author of those anime theme songs and ending songs is!" ……
Not long after, after the light music ended, the crowd below couldn't help but exclaim, followed by a burst of warm applause and cheers.
"Good, so powerful, Yiyi. What do you think? The little girl's mother looked at the little girl in her arms in a daze, only to find that the little girl was licking the lollipop given by Zhao Chen.
"That's good!" Although the little girl is still at an age of ignorance, she has shown a good musical talent at a young age, and her mother would only ask that.
And Zhao Chen on stage after accepting the performance. He thanked the audience and returned to the background. However, he didn't dare to wear Kirbymon puppets anymore, otherwise he would not be able to escape from the clumsy puppets in the face of fanatical fans, so he took off Kirbymon puppets and put them in a large box.
After thinking about it, Zhao Chen stretched out his hand to summon a staff member and gave a few orders, the staff nodded, packed the cardboard box containing the Kirby beast puppet and took it away, and he didn't know where it went.
After Zhao Chen's show ended, the audience's enthusiasm was obviously ignited, and they continued to watch other cosplay performances.
Of course, during this period, there were also viewers looking for traces of Kirbymon everywhere, but they didn't know that Zhao Chen had already changed into Kirbymon's costume and put on a hat and sunglasses, even if he met ordinary people head-on, he wouldn't recognize it at all.
The comic con lasted until five o'clock in the afternoon, and after it was over, Zhao Chen began to command several managers to clean up.
At this moment, the staff who had packed the carbimon boxes had returned.
"President, the cardboard box has been delivered to their home!"
"Good work!"
Zhao Chen patted the staff member on the shoulder to show encouragement, and what he asked the staff member to do was to give the Kirby puppet to the little girl who impressed him. For him, the Kirbymon puppet is useless, and instead of this, it is better to give it to the little girl, so that the beauty of adulthood can be regarded as a good deed by the way.
"By the way, President, they are very grateful for this, and they gave it to them." Speaking of this, the staff handed a postcard-like piece of paper to Zhao Chen.
The handwriting on the paper was very delicate, and it was obviously written by the little girl's mother, but Zhao Chen's eyes kept falling on the little girl's name.
"Mao Aono? The name seems to have been seen somewhere. (To be continued......)
