(Backup) Chapter 250 'The Wind Rises'

"Performing members, Jiang Yuan, He Jing, Yu Yi, Zhang Xian." Qi Yi and Wei Jie continued to report the list of participating members for the first performance.

In the first round of Jiang Yuan Tribe, a total of four people participated in the performance.

Under the introduction of Qi Yi and two others, they stepped onto the stage one after another. The four of them were uniformly dressed in white clothes. Jiang Yuan was at the front wearing a white windbreaker.

The moment he appeared on the stage, he had the impression of a male model walking on the catwalk, which successfully caused a sensation in the studio, and the audience became restless.

As a beauty fan, Lin Wei once again exclaimed.

This time, Shi Ying was not frightened again and adapted successfully.

And under Lin Wei's lead, Shi Ying also shouted together.

Most of the other spectators nearby were in the same state and were very excited.

In the music critic area, Chen Hai repeated the song title, and Jiang Yuan indeed chose the original one.

With some expectation, I wonder what kind of songs Jiang Yuan will come up with to compete with the classic songs of other tribes.

When Li Keshou heard that this performance was in the form of singing and acting, his eyes lit up.

After all, Jiang Yuan's last singing performance "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" was too stunning and left such a deep impression on him that his expectations were immediately raised a lot.

On the other side of the stage, members of the other two tribes watched Jiang Yuan and others come on the stage. They were also quite curious and didn't know what kind of song "The Wind Rises" was.

The song "The Wind Rises" was adapted from "Jealous" by Japanese singer Yu Takahashi. It became an internet sensation not long after it was released.

It has been covered by many singers, and both Zhou Shen and Wu Qingfeng's versions are very popular.

JJ Lin also sang this song for fans at his concert.

Jiang Yuan chose the version to perform in the finals this time, and the overall arrangement structure was more biased towards the version sung by Wu Qingfeng on "Singer".

After Jiang Yuan and the other four stepped onto the stage, they stood in their respective positions and plugged their microphones into the microphone stands in front of them.

The studio was still noisy, with constant exclamations and discussions.

Jiang Yuan raised a finger and said "shh" to the audience, and the studio fell silent.

The on-site choreographer was startled by the sudden silence in the studio.

After the scene calmed down, Jiang Yuan put on his earphones and signaled to the live band.

The performance officially started and the lights went out.

"I once transformed my youth into her..."

A beam of light shone on the stage, and before the music started playing, Jiang Yuan took the lead in singing a cappella.

This kind of a cappella singing without accompaniment, especially at the beginning of the song, places high demands on the singer.

Jiang Yuan only dared to go on stage after pondering over and practicing this section.

As soon as he opened his voice, Chen Hai couldn't help but squint his eyes. He was indeed surprised by Jiang Yuan's improvement in singing skills.

With all the plans, it has only been half a year since Jiang Yuan sang for the first time in "Love Song Concert".

As a result, Jiang Yuan made rapid progress immediately.

Before, singing "Decent" was a bit unsteady, but now I can sing it directly from the beginning.

“There was a time when midsummer appeared at my fingertips,

Just go with the flow of your heart..."

Jiang Yuan's a cappella singing continued, with a clear and youthful voice, which was exactly in line with the temperament of the song.

The entire studio was quiet, with only Jiang Yuan's singing echoing.

Lin Wei couldn't help but closed her eyes. She was still expecting Jiang Yuan to sing a rock song.

But the moment Jiang Yuan started singing, she suddenly felt that it no longer mattered what type of song she sang.

Jiang Yuan's singing sounded in her ears, and Lin Wei felt as if she had been baptized by the singing.

The eyes that were closed subconsciously were forced to open again because they wanted to see Jiang Yuan in his singing state.

A ray of light shone on Jiang Yuan, making him look like an ordinary person.

Lin Wei subconsciously covered her mouth, fearing that she could not help but scream out and disturb the atmosphere of the scene.

Next to her, Shi Ying was in a similar state. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking how could a person be so good-looking, and only Lu Qingge could be worthy of it.

Jiang Yuan's a cappella part ended, and the band began to enter the venue, with the melodious piano playing and beautiful string instruments playing in concert.

The performance had just begun, and Chen Hai couldn't help but want to express his admiration.

Just one opening set the tone of the song, allowing him to be sure that the song would be good to listen to.

Not only Jiang Yuan's singing, but also the prelude of this song is an extremely beautiful song from a purely musical perspective.

As the prelude sounded, the lights lit up the entire stage little by little, like the rising sun, matching the music and full of hope.

Although this performance is defined as a singing stage, it is actually mainly about singing. There is not much room for Jiang Yuan and others to participate in the performance.

The reason why it is labeled as a singing and performance stage is mainly because the program team put a lot of effort into the stage design.

After the prelude ended, Yu Yi took the lead in singing.

“There were stops and starts along the way,

Follow the traces of youth drifting"

As soon as Yu Yi's singing started, many in the audience felt empty-hearted for a moment.

Yu Yi's own timbre is somewhat similar to the original time and space Zhou Shen, which is particularly ethereal.

As long as it is paired with a suitable song, it will be unreasonably good and will kill everyone.

"The Wind Rises" happened to be a perfect fit for Yu Yi. As soon as he heard the demo, he took the initiative to sing this song.

“The moment before I stepped out of the station, I was a little hesitant.”

At that moment, Yu Yi's singing made the audience feel what it means to be unreasonably good.

There are also many music critics who marvel at how well the song fits Jiang Yuan and others.

"I can't help but laugh at this cowardice of being close to home, it's inevitable."

Zhang Xian follows Yu Yi's paragraph.

His voice is also relatively bright, and it is carried out just right at this moment, with a smooth transition and no abrupt feeling.

"But the weather in Nagano is still so warm, and the wind is blowing like before"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the last song on "Breaking Through Troubles", Zhang Xian sang with great devotion.

The reason why the lyrics are about "Nagano's sky" is also an allusion to the story of Hayao Miyazaki's animation of the same name "The Wind Rises".

"Once upon a time, I first met this world and wandered around in various ways."

"Looking at the horizon that seems to be right in front of you, I am willing to go through fire and water to get there again."

Jiang Yuan held the microphone and started singing again, along with the accompaniment, and the sparkling lights shone on him.

"Now that I've walked through this world, I've wandered around in all kinds of ways."

"Through the years, different faces will appear on your face unexpectedly."

He Jing also started singing from the side.

The addition of He Jing also makes the performance of the song more layered, forming a sharp contrast with Jiang Yuan on the emotional level.

If Jiang Yuan sings about his youth, then He Jing sings about looking back on his youth, forming a strong contrast.

But it’s equally sweet and nice to listen to.

On one side of the stage, the other two tribes were also listening carefully to Jiang Yuan and others' singing.

Although many people feel that Jiang Yuan is at a disadvantage this time by using his own original songs to collide with classic songs.

However, based on the experience of many previous duels, Peng Benqian and others did not relax at all.

After all, with five consecutive performances, Jiang Yuan has strongly proved his originality.

No one knows whether Jiang Yuan will suddenly take out a king bomb at the finals.

So for nearly two weeks, Peng Benqian and others were preparing for the rehearsal very seriously.

Now when I hear Jiang Yuan and others singing live, I know that I didn't look down on them.

Less than half of the song "The Wind Rises" was sung.

It’s a brand new melody that I’ve never heard live, but it’s very nice. Coupled with the singing by Jiang Yuan and others, it has a stunning beauty.

Moreover, the lyrics can resonate with the audience. Peng Benqian already feels that the number of votes for this performance cannot be lowered.

When Peng Benqian was thinking this, the chorus sang on the stage.

“I once struggled to extricate myself from the size of the world,

I also indulged in it and talked in my sleep,

No truth or falsehood, no struggle, no fear of jokes.”

This section was sung by Yu Yi, which immediately gave Peng Benqian an exaggerated feeling like listening to fairy music.

The melody itself is very nice, and Yu Yi's voice and singing skills also bring a great bonus, and at the same time, supplemented by Zhang Xian's harmonies, it becomes more layered and impactful.

"I once turned my youth into her,

I once had midsummer pop up at my fingertips,

Just go with whatever your heart desires!"

Yu Yi's section ended, and it was switched to Jiang Yuan, who completed the unfinished part at the beginning.

Listening to the chorus sung by two different voices, Chen Hai narrowed his eyes in comfort.

Same melody, twice the amazing feeling.

This kind of cooperation, 1+1 far exceeds 2, it is not just cooperation for the sake of cooperation, it is a very high-quality cooperation.

"Walking against the light, letting the wind and rain blow!"

Jiang Yuan sang the last line of this chorus.

As the last byte was sung, and complementing the lyrics, the sounds of drums, piano, guitar, and synthesizers came like a storm.

In the interlude, the mood of the song is directly lifted.

In the first half of the song, the accompaniment of the song is almost only piano and string music, and everyone listens more to the vocals of Jiang Yuan and others.

"I first met this world once upon a time..."

At the end of the interlude, the lyrics are the same, but the singing method is slightly changed. Jiang Yuan and others sang more powerfully than the first paragraph to make a difference.

Shi Zhongxian listened to Jiang Yuan and others' singing and nodded unconsciously.

Although he also likes the song his tribe chose this time.

But I have to say that when people see good new things, they always feel a sense of joy.

Good new songs will naturally give people this feeling.

And Shi Zhongxian would feel this way many times when he heard Jiang Yuan's scene.

"I once had a hard time extricating myself from the size of the world..."

The second chorus was sung again, and with the drums, guitars and other instruments, as well as the harmonies of the harmony group, it created a sense of majesty.

It was Yu Yi who still sang this chorus, and his emotions became much higher, which was mainly reflected in the singing.

"I once transformed my youth into her..."

Jiang Yuan and others took out the microphones from their stands and walked towards the front of the stage while singing.

At this time, the audience couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw Jiang Yuan suddenly pick up an electric guitar from behind a small platform in front of the stage and put it on his back.

Lin Wei couldn't help but jump a few times in excitement.

As a fan, what she likes most is when Jiang Yuan sings rock music, which naturally includes Jiang Yuan's guitar solo part. He doesn't look too handsome when he plays the guitar.

Originally, she thought she would have no chance to see it today, but she didn't expect to wait here.

"Just go with whatever your heart desires~"

The end of this chorus ends with Yu Yi's high note.

This time, the performance of the song "The Wind Rises" was really suitable for Yu Yi, so he had many individual parts, and it was a satisfying performance.

As soon as Yu Yi finished his high note, Jiang Yuan set up his electric guitar, put one foot on the speaker in front of the stage, got up and started playing.

In conjunction with the band, Jiang Yuan performed an extremely brilliant electric guitar performance, constantly changing chords with one hand and strumming the strings with the other, showing off his skills crazily.

This scene was naturally captured by the camera and will be shown in close-up when it is broadcast.

And this part can also arouse the emotions of the audience very well, and the audience becomes excited.

With a heavy sweep, this interlude comes to an end.

The excited emotions went away as quickly as they came, and began to subside, leaving only the piano accompaniment and Yu Yi's singing voice on the stage.

"The evening breeze blows the white hair on your temples,

Heal the scars left by time,

In your eyes, there is a mixture of light and dark, and a smile brings forth flowers."

Yu Yi's singing was accompanied by the piano, and many people unconsciously felt a sense of purification while listening to it.

At the end of the song, the strings started playing again, and Jiang Yuan also put down the electric guitar.

Holding the microphone with one hand, the band once again joined forces, and as Jiang Yuan sang, a sense of power burst out.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I still marvel at how big the world is.

Also indulged in childhood love stories,

No truth or falsehood left, no struggle, no pointless jokes.”

After listening to this section, Chen Hai stood up directly from the music critic's seat.

"I finally gave her my youth back,

Together with the midsummer that pops up on your fingertips,

Whatever the heart moves, it goes with the wind..."

In the last section, Jiang Yuan and four others sang together.

Different timbres, singing different parts, blend together, the combination is perfect and shocking.

"In the name of love, are you still willing?"

Jiang Yuan sang the last line seriously to the audience.

Lin Wei stood in the front row and subconsciously wanted to say yes.

But she just raised her hand, before she could shout.

There was a "bang" sound at the scene, and white feathers fell from the sky.

It fell on the stage bit by bit, the music continued to play, and the whole scene was very dreamy.

"oh~oh~oh~oh~"

At the last moment, Jiang Yuan, He Jing and others stood at the front of the stage, singing together to boost the atmosphere of the scene.

Lin Wei suddenly had a vision of the ending of the last show "Like You".

Although there was no borrowing in this scene, the atmosphere was roughly the same and it ended well.

The final performance came to an end amidst feathers flying in the sky.

After the singing ended, Shi Zhongxian and others on the side of the stage were once again amazed by the dreamy scene on the stage and the final chorus.

By the time all the feathers fell to the ground, a thick layer had been laid on the stage.

The four Jiang Yuans stood on the feather-covered stage and bowed to the audience, "Thank you everyone!"

The audience just woke up from a dream and began to applaud and cheer.

This performance started with a stunning acapella and ended with a dreamy chorus, giving it the atmosphere of a finals stage.

Chen Hai was also excited beside him.

In his opinion, "The Wind Rises" is a good song, there is no doubt about it.

More importantly, the performance is as wonderful as the song itself.

He has some expectations and some wants to see "The Wind Rises" successfully win several other scripts.

After the performance, Qi Yi and Wei Jie came to the stage.

"Thank you to the brothers from the Jiang Yuan tribe for bringing us a wonderful performance. Next, please move to the second stage!"

Qi Yi said to Jiang Yuan and others.

At the same time, there were already staff on the stage with large machines to start cleaning up the scene.

The scene of feathers floating in the air is indeed beautiful and dreamy, but cleaning it is also terrible.

Jiang Yuan and the other four heard the shouts in unison, waved goodbye to the audience, and walked to the second stage.

As soon as Jiang Yuan and others left, the live studio immediately exploded into a heated discussion.

"What's the name of this new song? Isn't it so nice?"

"I don't know why, but after listening to it, I felt that my whole body was enlightened."

"Yu Yi's voice is really amazing, and Jiang Yuan is so good at choosing people!"

"The electric guitar solo in the middle is so cool!"



When the song ended, the audience was obviously very excited.

This is especially true for Lin Wei and Shi Ying.

"It's so awesome!

How come you are so proud?"

"The singing is so good and so handsome! The ending is so dreamy? Who wouldn't vote? Your conscience will hurt if you don't vote!"

As soon as the performance ended, Lin Wei began to output like crazy.

Shi Ying was originally quite restrained, but under Lin Wei's exaggeration, she began to nod in agreement.

"Not only does she sing well, but during the guitar solo, I want to be the guitar player!" Shi Ying said in surprise.

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment by such a wild statement. She imagined being played by Jiang Yuan as a guitar and her face turned red.

Seeing Lin Wei blushing, Shi Ying woke up slightly and her face also turned red.

Then I saw Lin Wei blushing and saying excitedly, "I want to be that guitar too!"

On the second stage, Jiang Yuan, He Jing and others walked to the center of the stage, and the scene became slightly quiet.

Jiang Yuan and the other two greeted the audience again.

"Can Brother Jiang Yuan please share with us the new song you just performed?" The final interaction didn't have too many bells and whistles. After a simple interaction, Wei Jie asked Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan nodded, raised the microphone, pondered for a while, and began to speak.

"I personally think this is a song about growth and love."

"Perhaps everyone will have different feelings when listening to this song. I will give this song to everyone in the finals. I hope everyone can be like what the song depicts."

"Walking through this world, wandering around in all kinds of ways, and after a long time, I can never forget the clarity and high-spiritedness of my youth!"

Jiang Yuan ended his speech briefly, which was consistent with the atmosphere of the finals.

"Okay, thank you brother Jiang Yuan for sharing."

"The voting session is about to begin. If the audience likes the stage of Jiang Yuan Tribe's "The Wind Rises", please press button 1 on the voting machine in your hand."

"I need to explain to everyone that each audience member only has two votes in this round. After making a choice, you can skip the vote and the 60-second voting time officially begins."

Qi Yi presided over and started the on-site voting.

Jiang Yuan and the others looked at the audience. The audience in the front row enthusiastically raised their voting devices and showed the voting results to Jiang Yuan and others.

The 60 seconds to vote are fleeting.

"The voting is over and the results will be announced later. Brothers, please take a break!" Qi Yi hosted.

Jiang Yuan and others left the stage and returned to the waiting seats on the sidelines. The members of the tribe who had not played this round stood up to greet them.

Zheng Qingyang patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder and gave a thumbs up, "Singing is very good!"

Zheng Qingyang's words of encouragement came from the bottom of his heart.

Although the final was divided into two stages, everyone had rehearsed together before. In Zheng Qingyang's opinion, this scene was indeed much better than the rehearsal.

He sat down surrounded by Zheng Qingyang and others.

At this time, the staff of the program team completed the cleaning and arrangement of the stage very quickly.

"Let us invite you next..."

Qi Yi and Wei Jie announced the curtain and invited the next group of tribes to appear.

The second group is the Shi Zhongxian tribe.

This round, Shi Zhongxian Tribe performed a rock song.

The song is called "Broad Sea and Sky", which is the same name as the song by the original band Beyond Time.

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the title of the song.

After listening to it, I realized that both the melody and the lyrics were different from the one I remembered.

But the similarity is that the songs are equally classic and beautiful.

Shi Zhongxian led several members of the tribe to complete the singing of this song.

The live performance was very good, and the song itself had a bit of a tear-jerking effect, making many in the audience cry.

During the voting process, the audience was as enthusiastic as ever, making it difficult to guess the outcome.

Jiang Yuan and others were also a little nervous. After all, the third group of performances was about to start, and the audience could vote.

Although Jiang Yuan and others performed well.

But after all, it is the first group to appear. If the audience is not impressed, it is not without the possibility of losing votes.

Everyone's ideas are quite different, and Peng Benqian, who is about to take the stage, is under a lot of pressure.

In Peng Benqian's opinion, the audience may have already cast almost all their votes in the first two rounds.

If your own tribe appears at the end, you are directly trying to steal votes from the other two tribes.

This means you have to make sure your performance is exciting enough to get tickets.

The third group, the performance of Peng Benqian tribe began.

The Peng Benqian tribe chose a singing and dancing song in this round.

The song title "Chengyu" is a relatively retro disco dance song.

The entire performance of Peng Benqian Tribe followed a retro route.

In addition, Peng Benqian was an artist of that era, and the performance was reproduced very well, which aroused the emotions of the audience very well.

Especially as the only singing and dancing song in this round, it has an excellent effect in stimulating the atmosphere, and many viewers even danced along with the whole song.

Seeing the audience in the audience holding voting machines and voting, He Jing looked a little solemn.

Once you see this scene, you can tell that many viewers are running away to vote.

I just don’t know whose ticket is running.

Although Jiang Yuan Tribe has been winning before, this is already the finals. Who doesn’t want to win a few more rounds?

"It's time to vote. At this point, the results of this round of voting have been produced." After the voting, Qi Yi presided over the meeting.

"Next, I would like to invite Captain Jiang Yuan and Captain Shi Zhongxian to come to the center of the stage."

"Let us announce the final result of the first round together." Wei Jie smiled and looked at the waiting area.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan stood up from his seat and walked to the center of the stage with Shi Zhongxian.

The three captains stood in the center of the stage and Qi Yi began to preside over, "Now I will reveal the voting results of this round to everyone."

Wei Jie then raised her hand card and said, "This round, only the first and second place votes will be announced. The first to be announced is the tribe that won second place. Please watch the big screen."

Jiang Yuan and others subconsciously turned around and looked at the big screen behind them.

On the big screen, the votes appear first.

The second place received 694 votes.

There were a thousand spectators at the scene, and each person had two votes. The total number of votes in the first round was 2,000.

694 is a very balanced number.

After the votes appeared, the name of the tribe then appeared on the big screen.

"Congratulations to the Jiang Yuan Tribe for gaining 694 firepower points in this round, ranking second, and once again accumulating a family seat!" Qi Yi announced loudly while holding the card in his hand.

Jiang Yuan bowed to the audience to express his gratitude.

Second place is a pretty good result.

The second place was announced, and both Shi Zhongxian and Peng Benqian were a little nervous.

After all, the first place result is related to the seats of two families, so it is quite important.

Especially for Peng Benqian, their tribe has not even received a family seat until now.

The first place results began to be announced, and Jiang Yuan and others turned around again to see the votes.

First place, 729 votes.

"Congratulations to Peng Benqian's tribe, which scored 729 firepower points in this round, ranked first, and won two family seats!" Qi Yi congratulated.

At this point, all the results of the first round have been announced.

So far, the Jiang Yuan tribe has obtained a total of 5 family seats.

"After the results of the first round are announced, the award ceremony for the best stage of "Beyond the Troubles" will be held next!"

After Jiang Yuan and others returned to their seats, there was no rush for the second round of competition. Instead, the awards ceremony began under the auspices of Qi Yi and the others.

Then, Qi Yi spent some time introducing the award-giving guests who will appear next.

After the award-giving guests were seated, the big screen began to play the waiting list for the best singing and dancing stage.
