Still in the private room of the original coffee shop, after hearing the first plan proposed by Paul, Jiang Yuan raised his hand to vote.
In fact, after hearing Paul's plan, everyone basically felt that there was nothing more suitable than this.
After all, my preparation time is limited, and it would be difficult for others to come up with a plan as complete as Paul's at that moment.
"Then it is tentatively confirmed that the performance will be performed on the new stage in Times Square. I will communicate with the program team later." Paul said after seeing everyone express their opinions.
As the lead singer of a band that has been around for many years, Paul still has some connections.
Let’s start with the venue. I immediately thought of the new stage that was just launched on the big screen in Times Square, New York.
Occasionally, when a singer releases a new album, he will give a free performance on this stage to achieve promotional purposes.
First of all, the venue itself is very suitable for Jiang Yuan and others. At the very least, it directly eliminates the process of recruiting audiences. The big screen on the day of the performance is a very good publicity. Paul’s attitude towards himself and other guests of "World Song"
The appeal is still very confident.
After all, the preparation time is not sufficient, so some aspects can be omitted.
It happened that Paul's band had also been a regular performer at Times Square's New Year's Eve performances in previous years, and he contacted the person in charge whom he was familiar with to inquire and confirm the possibility of the performance.
As long as the communication with the program team and the connection with the local government and sponsors are completed, the celebration is expected to go smoothly.
When Jiang Yuan and others heard these links from Paul's mouth, they were all overwhelmed.
But after Paul said that he would be responsible and everyone just needed to prepare well for the performance, he felt that it was okay.
"I feel like Paul would be great even if he were not the lead singer of a band and became a manager." Song Na-eun sighed after leaving the coffee shop after the meeting.
Jiang Yuan and others also nodded in agreement.
After all, without the team and no acquaintances, it was indeed difficult to contact a large stage that could support the performance.
Not to mention visiting Times Square just this afternoon.
When passing by the big screen in Times Square, Jiang Yuan could only think of birthdays or album releases, fans or music platform activities, and support and advertisements placed on this screen.
I didn’t expect that I would have to perform in this place next.
"If we perform in this place, the venue should be very lively, so we have to prepare some atmospheric songs." After getting on the car back to the hotel, Shang Yan'er said thoughtfully while watching the video about this stage.
Song Naen, on the other hand, seemed much more excited. Jiang Yuan was in the driver's seat of the car he just rented today.
Haruka Arimura is surfing the Internet and reading up on food tips. Thanks to this, Jiang Yuan and others are freed from the world-wide problem of thinking about what to eat every day.
All the way back to the hotel, everyone went back to their rooms and started playing music.
On the second day, everyone needs to show the repertoire they want to perform to determine the performance theme of the celebration, which is somewhat similar to a demo listening session.
Jiang Yuan also found the demo of the song he wanted to sing on his computer.
The songs planned to be performed this time were actually one of the songs prepared for this journey in the normal order.
Even the recording work has been completed, and the atmosphere can match the stage this time.
On the contrary, "HEAVEN", which was previously performed at Peninsula, was an unexpected song.
Now that the process has returned to normal, Jiang Yuan thought that taking advantage of the slightly larger stage in Times Square, he could promote the new album.
After finding the demo file separately, Jiang Yuan was ready to wash up and rest, and at this point he received a message from Yang Chao.
After calculating the time difference, I came back to my senses and remembered that it was already midnight in China, so it was normal for Yang Chao not to reply to the message.
It was already late when Yang Chao received the manuscript from Jiang Yuan.
Although I was a little excited after reading it, my aging body was still exhausted after all, and I fell asleep without having time to send a message.
After taking a special leave in the morning and reviewing "A Study in Scarlet", Yang Chao began to send messages to Jiang Yuan.
After starting to read the night before, Yang Chao felt that he had been drawn into the world of Sherlock Holmes, and even dreamed about the story the whole night.
From the beginning of the chapter where a basic impression of the character Sherlock Holmes is established, to the murder case, the description of the complicated and confusing case, to Sherlock Holmes directly figuring out who the murderer is and solving the case.
By this part, the more typical detective already knows everything, but the reader is still kept in the dark.
But as long as there is a reasonable explanation and reasoning in the follow-up, Yang Chao is still very willing to accept this trick.
In the subsequent content, the hidden story behind the case and Holmes' analysis and reasoning bring the story to an end.
Even after reading it once and knowing the truth, Yang Chao still felt surprised when he read it again, and even felt more and more that this was a great story.
The whole novel is narrated from multiple perspectives, and is also interspersed with stories about cases in the past. It can be said to be a very rich story.
Although the structure of the story appears to be very complex, the reading effect is not confusing.
On the contrary, under this complex narrative, Yang Chao seemed to have a sense of déjà vu playing a classic movie in his mind.
The character of Sherlock Holmes has also become vivid and three-dimensional in my mind unconsciously.
Based on this kind of reading experience, Yang Chao felt that this would be another outstanding work.
After receiving a series of rainbow-like comments from Yang Chao after reading, Jiang Yuan nodded with relief. The relief mainly came from the sense of accomplishment that Amway's works were successful.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After being satisfied with Yang Chao's reaction, Jiang Yuan thought for a while and simply sent the rest of the content to him.
After all, if you finish reading it earlier, you can advance the publication-related matters earlier.
After Yang Chao received Jiang Yuan's reply, he picked up his phone and looked at it.
I didn't expect it to be a follow-up manuscript to the story, so I couldn't help but open my mouth in surprise, and then replied, "Didn't you say it will take at least a week to complete?"
"That means the English version." Jiang Yuan thought for a while and replied.
Yang Chao responded with a few thumbs up expressions.
After the surprise, he felt joy. After thinking for a moment, Yang Chao decided to work directly from home and read the rest of the content at once.
After sending the manuscript to Yang Chao, Jiang Yuan was ready to take a rest.
Because there were relatively few schedules due to time changes, Jiang Yuan's schedule had always been quite normal, and he soon fell asleep.
On the other side, Paul is still discussing with the program team about the performance in Times Square.
To be honest, Sun Tao couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing Paul explain the situation.
After all, the program team let Jiang Yuan and others create their own stage. Although Jiang Yuan had some psychological preparation after the previous performance in Peninsula, he still did not expect Paul to create such a big stage.
But after understanding the situation, I began to evaluate it seriously.
After all, this can basically be regarded as the largest performance in the history of the "World Song" program.
It just so happened that this celebration itself wanted Jiang Yuan and others to perform a performance with a wider impact. From this point of view, it was obvious that there was nothing more suitable than this.
So after thinking about it for a moment, Sun Tao gave a positive answer on behalf of the program team.
"The program team has promised me to negotiate. The stage for the performance the day after tomorrow will probably be ready tomorrow."
The next day, when everyone gathered again, Paul announced the news.
"If you think about it, there really is nothing more appropriate than this." Jiang Yuan nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yuan took a rough look at the stage for the Times Square performance through live videos on the Internet, and found that the overall layout was relatively simple.
But because of the large screen on site, it has a very good viewing effect.
If you want to build a stage that meets the scale of the celebration elsewhere, it will definitely be too late in such a short time.
"From now on, everyone just needs to focus all their attention on the performance. Now let's listen to the prepared songs." Paul hosted.
The program team asked Jiang Yuan and others about issues such as performance venues, and now it's like Paul has been asked back.
But even so, there is not enough time.
"I guess I won't have much time to play this time." Jiang Yuan said while turning on the computer.
The recent recordings have made the program of "World Songs" more oriented towards music variety shows.
"Everyone sing or play a song that you are going to perform, and then share your thoughts on the theme of the performance."
"Let's decide on the theme and the order of the performances." Paul clapped his hands and said.
After Paul finished speaking, he also took the initiative to ask Ying to stand up, ready to demonstrate to Jiang Yuan and others.
Jiang Yuan and others also looked over curiously when they saw this.
"Because it's an original song, I'll just play a short section for you." Paul said, taking out his guitar.
"Wait a minute." Louis stood up cautiously and went to the door to confirm the sound insulation effect before letting Paul continue playing.
"Then I'll start." Paul twisted the guitar knob to make sure the tone was ready and then started playing.
The acoustic guitar played a pleasant melody, and it was rare to hear a new song before a performance, which also made Jiang Yuan and others quite curious.
Along with the guitar accompaniment, Paul also sang softly for a short period.
Different from previous performances, although it is still a rock song, it is a light rock song with a brighter background, making it appear much softer.
Listening to the whole next paragraph, it seems more like discussing the theme of staying young and always having love.
In the course of the development of pop music, all kinds of themes have actually been written about long ago. All that can be done in creation is to create new descriptions of the same theme from different angles.
Paul's creation is obviously very mature. Although it is not a new theme, the expression of melody and lyrics is still refreshing and pleasant to listen to.
After the presentation, Paul himself also gave a certain interpretation of the content expressed in his songs.
"I think for now, my song is actually quite suitable as the opening of the celebration. The official arrangement also samples the sound of a ship's whistle."
"If you put it in the opening position, it will give you a sense of starting a journey." Paul then took the computer and played a formal arrangement.
Jiang Yuan and others are relatively convinced of Paul's statement for the time being.
Next, Louis also took the initiative to stand up and exchange places with Paul, wanting to show off the song he sang.
"I'm going to cover this song this time..."
Louis said, pressing the play button on the computer, and a song that had been completed and officially released began to play.
Jiang Yuan and others are already used to Louis' practice of singing covers.
Seemingly taking the word celebration into consideration, Louis also chose a piece with a more atmospheric atmosphere that can arouse the audience's emotions this time.
Next, Shang Yan'er and others also stepped forward one after another to show off the performance songs they had prepared.
"So far, the order of performances is almost the same, but the themes seem to be quite different." Paul said with a headache as he looked at the playlist that had been listed.
Because the repertoire that everyone has prepared has basically been prepared in advance, it is still relatively difficult to unify the theme.
"There's one last song left." Paul said, and then everyone's eyes also focused on Jiang Yuan.
Under this kind of gaze, Jiang Yuan stood up from his seat and moved his position while holding the computer.
"What I prepared this time is also a new song. To a certain extent, it can also be regarded as one of the title songs of the new album."
Jiang Yuan said after finding the demo file.
After hearing the main words, Paul and others immediately raised their expectations a lot.
After all, after Jiang Yuan's first album has released so many hit singles, it is still very exciting to call it the title song, even though it is just one.
"And I think this song might be able to integrate the theme of our performance this time."
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, without waiting for further reaction from Paul and others, he directly pressed the play button, and then the prelude of the song began to play.
After Paul and others heard what Jiang Yuan said, they all listened very attentively.
Jiang Yuan's song demo, as always, has basically all the details of the arrangement except that it hasn't gone through post-production.
As soon as the prelude started, the eyes of Paul and others started to light up.
Then came the singing part, Jiang Yuan played for about a minute before stopping.
After the broadcast, I subconsciously looked at the reactions of Paul and others, "How was it?"
After waiting for two seconds, Paul slammed the table and said, "This is it!"
"I also think it's confirmed." Louis also said.
"It seems appropriate as the last song." Shang Yan'er also said.
"What's the name of the song?" After hearing the song title reported by Jiang Yuan, Paul added a few entries to the song list, and the celebration song list was confirmed.
