Leisure time before leaving for the opening ceremony.
Paul and the musicians of the Blu-ray Band, each holding an English version of "No Survivor" at the moment, were curiously asking Jiang Yuan.
In line with the idea that the resources of the program should not be wasted, Jiang Yuan also asked foreign publishing houses to send him some special editions of "No Survival" when he came to Switzerland this time and gave them to the guests of the program.
Of course, some Amway was also done when giving the gift.
After hearing Paul's question, Jiang Yuan thought about the words in his mind, thinking about how to answer so that he would appear more humble when he fell off his horse in the future.
But before Jiang Yuan could speak, Tommy, the guitarist in the band, took over the conversation first.
"Of course, this is Omega's new book!"
"Oh my God, how did you get the limited edition and the autograph?" Tommy obviously knew a lot about mystery novels, and then he was shocked by Jiang Yuan's wholesale limited edition handwriting.
"Omega? Is it very famous?" Paul was still a little confused.
"Let's put it this way, after this guy's books started to be published, basically every trick he used was subversive."
"Moreover, less than two years after his debut, he has already been shortlisted for various major awards. Some people even speculate that he is directly competing for the Golden Dagger Award, which is an undisclosed list of finalists. He even has the lowest opening odds in the current gambling market." Tang
Mi said while flipping through the signatures.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously touched his nose, but he didn't expect that Tommy was quite experienced.
At the same time, I am also a little surprised that the Golden Dagger Award can actually open betting prizes.
"That's really great. I'll go back and read it carefully." Paul probably got Tommy's popular science, and then expressed his gratitude to Jiang Yuan.
"By the way, you haven't said where you got so many signed limited editions? From the news I've followed, I haven't heard of any signed copies being sold." Tommy looked at Jiang Yuan, feeling very curious about this.
.
"Actually, Omega and I are friends." Jiang Yuan took a sip of the coffee in front of him and said the answer he had just thought of.
"Really?" Tommy suddenly became interested after hearing this.
"Have you ever seen what Omega looks like? How old is he? Is he really handsome? When will the next book in the Poirot series be released?"
Perhaps it was because mysticism was more thoroughly implemented when it was promoted in Europe and the United States, so Tommy also asked Jiang Yuan a lot of questions.
"We have never met. We are Internet friends."
"In terms of age, I'm actually about the same age. He's quite handsome." Jiang Yuan thought about it and gave a rough answer.
"Can you arrange a signed copy of your previous works for me? Please!" Tommy approached Jiang Yuan, much more enthusiastic than before.
"No problem. When I return to China next time, I'll let Paul bring it to you." Jiang Yuan agreed.
At the same time, he murmured in his heart, if he didn't have to maintain a sense of mystery that couldn't be lost during this period, he would go into the local bookstore and wholesale a set of signed copies for Tommy.
Seeing Jiang Yuan agreeing so readily, Tommy immediately stretched out his fist and hammered his chest, "If you need help with music, you can come to me!"
For a moment, there was a strong impression that if Jiang Yuan wanted to start a band, Tommy would come over to be the guitarist without hesitation.
However, only Tommy in the Blu-ray band is a complete mystery fan, and the others can only browse it with interest.
Before he could read further, Paul paid attention to the time and stood up and clapped his hands, "Guys, it's almost time, let's go!"
The opening ceremony of the competition was held during the day, and it was already time to set off.
Although only Jiang Yuan and Blu-ray Band performed at the opening ceremony, the event organizers learned that "World Song" was also being recorded, so they also invited Louis and others to watch it live.
And the program team was allowed to film the performance of Jiang Yuan and the Blu-ray Band on site.
Therefore, as soon as they set off, the entire program team marched towards the competition venue in a mighty convoy.
As someone who was going to perform together later, Jiang Yuan was naturally in the same car as Paul and others.
While still on the road, Paul started playing a tune, so Jiang Yuan followed suit and sang the song together in the car.
After finishing it once, everyone stopped and started to close their eyes and relax.
Jiang Yuan leaned against the car window and closed his eyes too.
I also began to think about it in my mind. One day will be the time when "No Survival" will be officially published and launched. For a while, I was quite looking forward to the achievements that may be achieved after it is released.
In addition, I also remembered that Yang Chao seemed to have sent him messages in the past two days, saying that he was also preparing to leave for Europe.
Before the Golden Dagger Award is awarded, there are still several good award ceremonies held one after another.
If there is an award at that time, Yang Chao and foreign editors will receive the award together.
For this reason, Yang Chao has already ironed several dresses at home.
Thinking about this, my consciousness began to become a little drowsy without realizing it.
When I woke up again, I was already near the venue.
The opening ceremony of the competition was held at the local gymnasium.
From the car window, you can see that there are lively crowds near the venue, obviously they are all here for the competition.
This time the opening ceremony will be broadcast entirely online.
The news that Jiang Yuan and Blu-ray Band will serve as opening guests has already been officially announced.
At this point in time, many fans have already begun to watch the live broadcast with great anticipation.
After getting off the car, Jiang Yuan and others went directly to the backstage of the venue and began to prepare for the performance.
At this time, Jiang Yuan also took the lead in putting on the uniform clothes prepared by Paul.
A black and gray denim jacket paired with jeans of the same color.
The jacket has many hand-cut holes and graffiti.
The content of the graffiti was personally created by Paul, and it also reflected the elements of the competition. To a certain extent, it was regarded as a "co-branding" of the event.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Do you usually play this game a lot?" Paul's makeup station was next to Jiang Yuan, so he asked.
"Not too much, just a general understanding." Jiang Yuan responded.
Although Jiang Yuan doesn't play this game much on weekdays, he still has a general understanding of the game's modes.
In one sentence, it is probably the Blue Star version of "League of Legends".
"That's a pity, otherwise I could have felt the atmosphere of the game at the scene today." Paul sighed.
"That doesn't hinder watching the game." Jiang Yuan thought about it and said.
"Then after our performance is over, we can watch the game together in the audience." When Paul heard this, he suddenly became interested.
Jiang Yuan also agreed.
When local time was approaching two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yuan and others had finished their makeup and were ready to go on stage.
In the venue, all the spectators have already taken their seats.
The vast majority of the audience present came here because of the competition, and of course there were also some fans of Blu-ray Band and fans of Jiang Yuan.
Even though Jiang Yuan's overseas performances are extremely scarce, many fans still rushed to Jiang Yuan's concert this time.
"Three minutes left..." the on-site staff reminded the time in real time.
The program team of "World Song" is also following the preparations of Jiang Yuan and others before going on stage, and the corresponding camera positions have been set up in the audience for filming.
"How are you feeling?"
With the camera filming nearby, Paul asked Jiang Yuan how he felt.
"A little excited." Jiang Yuan said honestly.
Paul and others smiled and nodded, "Same."
Everyone has high expectations for the song that is about to be performed, and they have been looking forward to the official stage since the recording ended.
After these two days of careful preparation, before going on stage, the overall mood and state have indeed reached a relatively excited level.
At the same time, domestic time is around 9 pm, which is not too late. Many fans are paying attention to this live broadcast.
In Yuan Universe, real-time related discussions are also going on very enthusiastically.
【It’s about to start!!】
[I’ve been looking forward to it for two weeks! The last time “Lonely Warrior” was so popular, I don’t know what the new song will be like!]
[We are still cooperating with Blu-ray Band, and participating in "World Songs" is really not in vain!]
[I feel a little excited, I’m so happy this week, there are so many new songs!]
[There were many fans at the scene, and I even saw support sticks [picture]]
[It’s the last minute, it’s coming, I have a feeling it will be a very high-performance stage!]
——
There was a lot of excitement in Yuan Universe. At the last minute, Jiang Yuan, Paul and others stood at the lift platform.
Before the official performance begins, some animations from the opening ceremony are played.
As soon as two o'clock arrived, the music started playing and passionate game animations played. The audience was already infected by the atmosphere and began to shout.
Jiang Yuan stood on the lift platform, not wearing the earphones yet, feeling the atmosphere of the scene.
It can also be clearly felt that it is slightly different from other types of performances, which arouses Jiang Yuan's excitement even more.
At the same time, the opening animation also drove the emotions of the audience to rise bit by bit.
Jiang Yuan could also clearly feel this change in emotion, and felt that he could not wait to release his energy on the stage.
When the opening animation was about to end, Jiang Yuan and Paul looked at each other and each put on their earphones.
At the end of the animation, Jiang Yuan and Paul, together with the other members of the band, rose to the stage when the smoke exploded.
On the back screen, four large English letters wrote the title of this theme song.
RISE!
The single that Jiang Yuan chose to collaborate with Blu-ray Band this time is the theme song of the 2018 League of Legends Finals.
It is also the one that Jiang Yuan feels is the most popular among the many theme songs.
It is obviously appropriate to apply it to the Blue Star version of the game at this time.
Moreover, I heard that the singer for the hot part of the theme song was selected after extensive screening.
In order to best present the first stage of this single, Jiang Yuan and Paul made relatively complete preparations.
Smoke exploded, and when Jiang Yuan and others appeared on the stage, the scene also erupted into very warm cheers.
On the stage, some exquisite mechanical equipment began to operate accordingly.
The musicians of the Blu-ray band officially launched at the same time.
As the powerful drum beats and electronic sound effects played, Jiang Yuan also took the lead in raising the microphone.
"Wele to the wild no heroes and villains,
Wele to the war we've only begun so.......
(Welcome to the wasteland where good and evil intertwine, the smoke of war has filled the air...)"
Jiang Yuan opened the show with a soul-searching effect that instantly gave many viewers goosebumps.
After two sentences, Paul also joined in the singing.
"Pick up your weapon and face it, There's blood on the crown go and take it,
You get one shot to make it out alive so....
(Take up arms without regrets and defend the dream in your heart. This is the only chance to prove it)"
Jiang Yuan's and Paul's voices overlapped, which immediately brought the thickness and texture of the singing to a higher level. The combination was very suitable.
The two sang, then got closer and sang the next verse in duet.
"Higher and higher you chase it,It's deep om your bones go and take it,
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This your moment now is your time so!
(Fight against fate and keep chasing, burn your life and don’t want to be humble, the peak moment, the decisive battle!)"
Jiang Yuan and Paul's singing has a somewhat tearful texture.
The band musicians' performance became more and more exciting, and the mood of the song gradually climbed to a high point.
“Prove yourself and…
(Clench your fists...)"
While Paul was singing, he took out a microphone with effects and threw it at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan took it over smoothly, and there was a drop effect on the accompaniment.
Jiang Yuan changed the microphone and started singing the chorus.
"RISE!"
"RISE!"
Jiang Yuan put on the effects device and made two shouts, matched with the band's performance, and staged special effects full of mechanical beauty.
Immediately, many audience members jumped up from their seats.
Just this voice was on fire!
"They will remember you!"
Paul sang to Jiang Yuan.
"RISE!"
Jiang Yuan let out another passionate shout, directly pulling the audience into a frenzied mood.
At this time, everyone, whether they are fans or not, has been successfully ignited.
After the chorus ended, there was no interlude, and Paul directly started singing the next verse.
“Wele to the climb up reach for the summit,
visions pray that one false step lead the end so.......
(After all kinds of hardships, fighting spirit is like fire, sweeping thousands of armies just to create a legend!)"
After the chorus, although the main part was relatively calm, the emotions of the audience had already been ignited.
The overall atmosphere is very warm.
“Higher and higher…….”
A bar earlier than the chorus, many in the audience were already ready.
“This is your moment take to the skies go,
Prove yourself and…….
(Cross the peak, spread your wings and fly high, clenched your fists)"
"RISE!" Jiang Yuan and Paul exchanged microphones again, and this chorus was left to Paul to sing.
“Push through hell and…….”
After Jiang Yuan sang this line, Paul took over the chorus.
"RISE!"
"RISE!"
Paul's singing also blew up the scene again.
"There will remember you!"
"RISE!!"
Jiang Yuan and Paul work together perfectly, like a translation of the lyrics, as if they have reached the pinnacle.
At the same time, due to the delay of the live broadcast, the audience outside the venue only heard Jiang Yuan’s shouts in the first chorus.
