Chapter 396: Climbing
"You don't have to expect your girlfriend to be as good as me, you don't have to expect your girlfriend to be as funny as me. No, no need to ......" In the stereo behind the stage, the electronic singing of the last sentence ended, and Jang Keun Suk stopped singing with his mouth.
Jang Keun Suk was wearing a shiny patch-covered singing costume, holding the endorsed MP4 product in one hand and pressing the headphones on his head with the other, revealing a fascinated expression of enjoying the music, and the backup dancers behind him also put away their sexy dancing postures at the same time, lining him like green leaves.
The applause from the audience came, Jang Keun Suk handed over the headphones to the dancer next to him, shook his hair, he raised the mp4 and posed in a cool pose, then bowed down to thank everyone in the audience, and then walked off the stage in high spirits, for the performance of this song, he gave himself a hundred points!
Don't blame Jang Geun Suk for this, his agency and advertisers have made full preparations for this advertising song performance, and on the basis of the small stage set up by the crew, they have taken great pains to add a background wall suitable for the electronic music style, and even special laser lights have been specially transported.
In addition, the professional dance partner group of this song also added a lot of points, and danced with Jang Keun Suk skillfully and extremely enchanting dance, which made Lee Hyo-ri, who has the reputation of "national goblin" in the audience, admire, thinking that Jang Keun Suk is even more enchanting than the backup dancer.
Saying hello to the crew, the staff who came with Jang Keun Suk began to dismantle the extra background walls, shining decorations, special lights, etc., which were specially prepared for "", and Lee Jae-min and Jessica said that the following new songs are sung, and these peripherals are not needed, and they will not be suitable.
Soon, the dazzling backdrop and special lighting were all removed, and the sun reshone in along with the awnings added to accentuate the lighting effect. A small heart-shaped stage with green mountains and trees in the distance is revealed.
Microphones and a variety of playing instruments were moved to the stage one after another, and Yuna and Yori walked into the stage first and arrived at their respective positions.
Jessica stood alone in the corner of the backstage, trying to calm her breath. The song "Jang Keun Suk is a lip-sync performance, focusing on the dynamic rhythm of dance and soundtrack, in the carefully prepared peripheral synergies and excellent backup dance, she has a lot of confidence in this song, but at this time I can't help but be a little worried about whether the scene can achieve the expected effect.
Took a few deep breaths. Feeling the gaze, Jessica turned her head slightly, and saw the encouraging smile of the person standing closest to the stage, her nervousness gradually subsided, and she gave a reassuring smile back. She lifted her feet up the steps leading to the small stage.
Canvas shoes, jeans, a peach-colored short-sleeved crewneck T-shirt, and casually pulled up hair. When the wind blows. Jessica could see the loose strands of hair that were constantly brushing in front of her eyes, which compared to the delicately packaged Jang Keun Suk before, she felt like an ordinary little girl who came to the stage recklessly.
And he said that this is not a singing stage, and there is no competition, you just need to sing this song easily. Jessica believed him. I didn't wear any gorgeous singing costumes, no colorful backdrop walls and lights, and no dazzling side dances. Just be your truest self and sing this song with your heart. With everyone, with him!
The sun was setting in the distance, and in the afterglow of the light, Jessica walked to the front of the stage.
Offstage, family members stood closely, followed by the crew and assistants, crowding the open space. Seeing Jessica come to the microphone, everyone applauded and shouted in anticipation of the performance that followed.
"Thank you."
Standing in front of the stage, so close to everyone's enthusiastic applause and shouts, Jessica's cheeks showed a touch of girlish shyness, she smoothed her hair behind her ears, looked down at the person closest to the center of the heart in the audience, turned her head to look at Yun'er and them one by one, and then said seriously into the microphone, "Life is like climbing, but the scenery is beautiful." Thank you, thank you for your company! This song "The.Climb" is for me, for you, and for all those who are on the climb. ”
After speaking, Jessica turned around with the standing microphone and nodded lightly to Xu Xian, who was sitting in front of the piano.
Immediately, a melodious piano solo sounded, and the soothing music silenced the audience. Jessica approached the microphone and lowered her eyes lightly, the lyrics seemed to flow from the bottom of her heart, "The dream that vaguely emerged in front of my eyes, lingering in my heart." But a voice rings in your head, you will never reach the other side. ”
The life of a trainee for more than seven years has been sprinkled with sweat and tears all the way. The company's elimination of trainees is like a screening of fate again and again, she once thought that the dream would only be unattainable, and every persistence was so difficult!
"Every step I took, everything I did, it lost my way and my faith began to waver. But I, I still have to continue to pursue, and I still have to hold my head high and stride forward. Greeted by the sprinkled golden light, Jessica looked at the crowd in the audience who slowly danced their arms to the rhythm of the music.
After seven years of life as a trainee, after his debut, it was not as smooth and beautiful as he imagined, the tight itinerary that the basic rest time could not be guaranteed, the scandal that impressed me, and the splashing of water on the red carpet in the back......
She gradually lost her way, and her indomitable confidence was shaken. It makes her feel like living in a space without air every day. Fortunately, I have them by my side and he by my side.
Thinking of the mutual encouragement and encouragement with them every day in those days, the longing and persistence of her dreams with them, the stupid guy who pulled her into the lake twice as stupid as Taeyeon, the song "Nearest You", and so many treasured bits and pieces in her heart, with these, she can muster up the courage to move on.
The soothing music goes straight up, and the rhythm gradually becomes a little exciting. is different from the song "" performed by Jang Keun Suk before, although it looks more dazzling and the electronic music effect is also great, but it is like a boring fast food, and then it is forgotten clean. And the song performed by Jessica and Yuna easily resonated. As the lyrics sing, life is like climbing, everyone has been lost on the road, but we must keep faith and continue to stride forward with our chests held high.
Everyone was silent, looking up at the girl bathed in the sunset on the stage, waving their arms neatly with her sweet singing. Singing and music are like invisible currents, burrowing into the bodies of everyone present, blending into the bottom of their hearts, trembling from the inside out, making the pores of the whole body seem to be completely opened.
"There's always the next mountain waiting for me to move it away, there's always the next hill that I can't cross. It's not about how long it takes me to get to the top, it's not about what kind of scenery is on the other side of the mountain. That's the climb! Jessica looked up at eye level, holding the microphone in front of her, a smile blooming on her face. The light shining made her so bright, just like her bright mood at this time.
Xiuying struck a slightly heavier drum beat on the drum kit, Seo Hyun in front of him sitting on the piano, Pani playing the bass, Yoori playing the violin, Yoona and Sunny who sang with the accompaniment, and Hyoyeon holding the guitar, they all raised their heads, and their eyes and Jessica who turned to look back gathered together, and a silent smile dyed into their hearts.
This is Jessica's new song, and it is also the song that deeply touches each of them. The abuse of anti fans, the infinite magnification and misunderstanding of casual details in life, including the recent Black Sea boycott, all made them feel frustrated and sad. But as long as they don't give up, as long as they continue to climb, even if they can't climb the next mountain, they can't reach the charming peak, and they believe that they will definitely see more beautiful scenery.
"Every fight I faced, every opportunity I seized, many times it would make me lose completely. But it won't wear away my dreams, maybe I don't understand the meaning of it, but these moments will become memories that I can cherish for a lifetime. Just keep going, I think, I'm going to be strong. I just have to push forward, because it's not about how long it will take me to reach the summit, it's not about what kind of scenery is on the other side of the mountain. That's the climb! ”
A high-pitched transposition ends the song, and Jessica stops singing. Under the small heart-shaped stage, the applause was like thunder, and the crew and assistant crowd behind were even more exaggerated and loud, and many people kept shouting "Encore", including the staff and backup dancers who came with Jang Keun Suk, which she and they deserved.
Pulling her tousled hair behind her ears again, Jessica smiled shyly. She has never been so devoted to singing a song, she doesn't need to show off any singing skills and dance steps, she just let her heart express her heart to her heart's content, and when she heard the cheers and applause from the audience, she woke up and sang the whole song.
Yuli and the others put down their instruments and stood on either side of Jessica with Yuna and Sunny, and cheers and applause resounded in the sky as they bent down hand in hand for the curtain call.
When Zhang He played the first note in Xu Xian, he nervously stood up from his chair, holding the walkie-talkie and staring nervously at the monitor in front of him, and from time to time he issued instructions to several camera teams, for fear of missing every angle of shooting.
Before Jessica sang, Jang Hyuk felt that Jang Keun Suk performed very well today in PD and may become the focus of this episode, and many people in the crew thought so at the time, after all, the set, lighting, and dance of "" were very dazzling and brilliant, comparable to a well-prepared singing stage. And when Jessica's singing voice sounded, he knew that he was wrong, and it was the comparison of "" that highlighted the perfection of this "Climbing". (To be continued......)
