Jiang Yuan carried her luggage and followed Chen Ling into the villa.
"After you put your luggage away, you can go to the courtyard in front, where you will sit for the show later." Chen Ling introduced Jiang Yuan as he walked.
Jiang Yuan looked in the direction pointed by Chen Ling. There were many green plants in the courtyard, and some golden fallen leaves were scattered on the ground, giving it a very autumnal atmosphere.
After putting away his luggage, Jiang Yuan went to the courtyard and was a little surprised.
Because except for the staff of the program team, no other singers were seen, and there was even only one rocking chair in the courtyard.
"Am I the first to arrive?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously, but did not respond.
I had no choice but to sit down on the rocking chair and wait for the other singers to arrive.
But I didn't wait for other singers, only Sun Tao.
"Welcome to Star City, the final recording location of "City Corner"." Sun Tao began to make his opening remarks as soon as he entered the room.
Then, before Jiang Yuan could speak, he read out a three-minute advertisement.
From the longer and longer advertising time, it can be seen that "City Corner" is indeed worthy of the title of the most popular music variety show at the moment.
After the three-minute commercial ended, Sun Tao was still a little bit reluctant. Such a popular variety show was about to end, so it was normal to be reluctant.
"Don't you need to wait for others?" Jiang Yuan asked after Sun Tao finished reading the advertisement.
"Other singers are elsewhere." Sun Tao replied.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan was a little confused.
"You will understand after I announce the theme and rules of this issue," Sun Tao said.
"The theme of the final episode of "City Street Corner" is like a movie. It has a prologue and of course an ending. The theme of this episode is the ending theme."
"There are no specific requirements for the theme of the song. The singer can create and perform based on the ending of the movie he likes."
Sun Tao took the lead in revealing the theme to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan thought about it for a while and realized that the theme of this performance was just a form, and there was actually no specific proposition.
"Next, announce the rules for this issue."
"The final phase of "City Street Corner" is divided into the first half and the second half. In the first half, each singer prepares a song to perform."
"After the performance, twenty directors will vote online. The top three singers with the most favorites will receive a wishing star. This is also the last chance to receive a wishing star."
Sun Tao held the card and read out the rules.
"What about the second half?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Sun Tao replied: "The second half is a stage for singers to collaborate."
When Jiang Yuan heard this, he blinked and suddenly felt that this pattern seemed familiar.
Isn't this the same as the first issue of "City Corner"?
The last issue also echoes the beginning and end, so as not to forget the original intention.
Sure enough, the next second Jiang Yuan saw Sun Tao take out three cards.
"The stage for the first half of the performance was set up in the theater, and the singers matched each other by choosing different performance times."
"The only difference from the first issue is that after watching the performance of the matching singer, both parties have the right to make a second choice." Sun Tao said.
Listening to Sun Tao's introduction, Jiang Yuan nodded, which meant that unlike the first round, if he didn't like the matching singer, he could still reject it.
Then, Sun Tao unfolded the three cards in his hand and faced Jiang Yuan.
"A drama has an opening and an ending."
"There are three time periods, the opening, the intermission, and the ending. Make your choice." Sun Tao said.
Jiang Yuan looked at the three cards in Sun Tao's hand, hesitated for a while, and finally took off the middle one.
The opening of a play is certainly exciting, and the ending may have lingering aftertaste, but in Jiang Yuan's opinion, the intermission is often the most colorful.
"Next, from now on, you have forty-eight hours to prepare for the performance in two days. I am leaving to find other singers."
After Jiang Yuan completed his choice, Sun Tao turned and left, leaving Jiang Yuan alone in the courtyard.
Next, Sun Tao's same words reappeared in different scenes.
Jiang Yuan was still lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard. From time to time, a cool autumn breeze blew by, causing Jiang Yuan to wrap his coat tightly.
Lying on the rocking chair, Jiang Yuan turned on the system.
Although there are several songs stored in the music library, Jiang Yuan feels that it is already the last episode of the program and he still has to sing some songs that are more popular.
I first exchanged a bronze treasure chest and prepared to test the waters.
"Open!" Jiang Yuan thought silently in his heart, his eyes focused.
But the photographer next to him looked a little confused. This was the first time he had seen someone so focused and dazed.
[Congratulations on winning the single "Suddenly Miss You So Much"*1]
Once he hit the target, Jiang Yuan felt excited.
"Suddenly Miss You So Much" is a single included in Mayday's album "Poems of Post-Adolescence" released in 2008. It has more than 10 million Q-note collections and can definitely be regarded as Mayday's masterpiece.
Jiang Yuan jumped up from the rocking chair with excitement and ran back to the villa, ready to start making songs.
The photographer who was following him was stunned for a while. He just watched Jiang Yuan lying there in a daze for five minutes, and then the inspiration came?
Jiang Yuan moved the computer to the table in the hall and began to prepare for the arrangement while writing lyrics.
Alone, Jiang Yuan worked very efficiently, and it didn't take long to copy the accompaniment in his mind on the computer.
Then I started drinking coffee and thinking about the performance in two days.
When they just recorded the first episode of "City Street Corner", Jiang Yuan didn't really want to match up with Ye Xuanqi because he felt that singing "Long Time No See" in front of her would be a bit social.
But now her mood is completely different. This time Jiang Yuan wants to match Ye Xuanqi.
Because from what Sun Tao learned, at the performance two days later, the only audience in the audience was the singer who chose the same card.
In other words, the songs sung on stage have the feeling that they are sung specifically for the other person.
Especially after confirming the repertoire, Jiang Yuan felt that it was a little weird for him to sing "Suddenly Miss You So Much" to Park Chang Zhi or Lin Yilun.
Jiang Yuan shook his head and put the messy thoughts in his mind. At the moment, it was more important to prepare for the performance, so he took out his mobile phone and prepared to contact the band to start rehearsing.
"City Corner" has a fixed band, and each episode will travel to a different city with the program team.
After recording several episodes of the program, Jiang Yuan has become familiar with some of the band members.
Not long after the recording of the show started, I received a call from Jiang Yuan. After the band members got used to Jiang Yuan's efficiency, they were no longer surprised.
At this moment, in another villa, Ye Xuanqi was looking at the three cards in front of her and making a choice. After hesitating for a moment, she chose one of them.
