Chapter 252: Because In~~~
But before they could search further, the lights suddenly dimmed.
The concert was about to begin!
"It's starting!" Zhang Yuanying said, lowering her voice and shaking Jiang Shu's wrist vigorously.
Jiang Shu chuckled, letting her shake his wrist, and looked up at the stage.
Thump!
"Not~ a hero~ doesn't read the Three Kingdoms~~~"
The adapted version of "Cao Cao" echoed throughout the venue as the opening song, and the audience, who had been wondering who the two were, no longer cared if they were celebrities.
They weren't here to catch celebrities.
Zhang Yuanying was far less familiar with Lin Junjie's songs than Jiang Shu, but after two days of intensive cramming yesterday and today, although she couldn't memorize them, she could still follow along with many popular songs.
The glow sticks given out at the concert were vigorously waved in their hands, and the uniformly controlled glow sticks glowed with a soft light, point by point, converging into a sea of light.
Zhang Yuanying raised her right hand, waving the glow stick in her hand along with the surrounding audience, and their chorus echoed with JJ's voice on stage, reverberating through every inch of the exhibition hall's air.
The charm of a concert lies in this: when the audience below the stage resonates with the singer on stage, the meaning of that concert finds its embodiment in that moment.
Jiang Shu sat quietly, forming a stark contrast with Zhang Yuanying beside him, who was excitedly waving her glow stick and fully immersed in the cheering.
This girl only knew how to sing one or two lines of each song, but she was still very happy to sing along with everyone, primarily aiming for a full sense of participation.
First part…
Second part…
Concerts usually have five parts, with a costume change interval between each part. Jiang Shu and JJ's team had agreed that their appearance time would be between the third and fourth parts, which would provide ample time for Lin Junjie's final costume change during the concert.
The reason it wasn't the interval between the fourth and fifth parts is because that interval is a fake ending, where the audience follows the band's rhythm to call out the singer, and then the singer returns for an encore as the fifth part.
This kind of part is clearly not suitable for a guest performance.
As the prelude to the last song of the third part, "Too Bad If There Was No If," began, Jiang Shu grabbed Zhang Yuanying, who was already completely hyped up, holding her glow stick.
Zhang Yuanying was pulled by Jiang Shu and looked at him blankly.
"Stop being hyped, it's time to go on stage," Jiang Shu said, raising his voice slightly.
Only then did Zhang Yuanying realize it was time to go on stage.
She stood up with Jiang Shu, placed her glow stick on the seat, and hurried out, bending over.
Their actions naturally attracted some attention, but most people didn't pay much heed; only a few noticed that the direction they seemed to be heading was…
Backstage?
"Too bad if there was no if~~~"
As the final note faded, the stage lights gradually dimmed, and Lin Junjie on stage also descended backstage via a lift.
Many audience members had already gotten up, preparing to go to the restroom during the costume change MV, but to everyone's surprise, the screen lit up, but it wasn't a pre-recorded MV; instead, it was a background visual for a song performance?
Just as everyone was stunned, the background music quietly began.
"This accompaniment… sounds a bit familiar."
"I feel it's familiar too, like I've heard it before?"
"There's someone on stage!"
"Where, where?"
The audience below the stage discussed animatedly, and at the lift's position, two figures slowly rose with the platform.
At this moment, as time progressed, even though the accompaniment had been rearranged, the main melody had not changed. The moment the piano sound began, the venue erupted in deafening cheers.
The lights suddenly brightened, illuminating Jiang Shu and Zhang Yuanying on stage, and their images were simultaneously projected onto the big screen.
"Who is this?"
"A guest, right?"
"Don't know them."
"The girl is so beautiful!"
"The man is so handsome, and the woman is so beautiful!"
"Are they going to sing 'A Thousand Years Later'?"
Most people didn't recognize Jiang Shu and Zhang Yuanying, but they still generously offered their support.
Never mind, as long as they are not controversial artists, guests invited by singers are worth supporting.
"My heart beats out of rhythm~~~"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
As soon as Jiang Shu opened his mouth, the audience below once again cheered, and by the second line, a clear chorus began to emanate from the audience.
Jiang Shu smiled and adjusted his slightly ill-fitting microphone; coming over on short notice, a decent microphone was enough.
"Because in"
Jiang Shu extended the microphone, and the audience's powerful chorus rose with it.
"A thousand years later~"
"The world will no longer have me~~~" Jiang Shu extended the microphone with his right hand, waving his other hand, leading the audience's chorus.
Zhang Yuanying watched this scene with a beaming smile, thinking, 'I didn't realize it, but my president Oppa's stage presence is quite excellent.'
"Unable to deeply hold your hand, lightly kiss your forehead~~~" Zhang Yuanying softly provided harmony.
Having debuted at DM Entertainment for two years, her singing skills have been continuously improving.
She couldn't not improve; DM Entertainment has strict requirements: you can be bad, but you can't slack off.
Everyone has personalized vocal requirements; there's no one-size-fits-all approach. They tailor a specific goal for you, which clearly shows whether you are truly putting in effort.
Zhang Yuanying's singing skills are still not great to this day, but at least there are no major issues when she sings; at most, some details and techniques are lacking.
With Zhang Yuanying's harmony joining in, Jiang Shu's pure male voice became even more full.
When harmony is used well, its effect is no less than that of instruments. An excellent harmony group can even elevate an originally 80% performance to 90% or even 100%.
Zhang Yuanying is not a harmony group, but under Jiang Shu's guidance, her harmony also had a bit of the feel of a harmony group.
The first verse was led by Jiang Shu, and the second verse was led by Zhang Yuanying, with Jiang Shu providing harmony.
Male and female duet was not suitable for this song, so Jiang Shu adopted this method after adapting it.
However…
These are not the core of this adaptation.
The core lies in…
In the corner of the stage, the harmony group teachers looked at the score in front of them, listened to the rhythm in their headphones, and as Zhang Yuanying's voice on stage gradually faded, they all raised their spirits to the highest degree.
"Entwined for a thousand years…"
"Loneliness~~~"
The sound of the instrumental accompaniment gradually faded, becoming lighter and lighter… lighter and lighter…
Next second!
The drums suddenly started!
"Because in~ a thousand years later~~~"
The female-led harmony group echoed through the sky.
