After the song list and theme of the performance were confirmed, good news came one after another from Sun Tao.
After the "World Song" program team was dispatched, the cooperation progressed smoothly.
Whether it is the sponsor brand of the program group, the square or even the municipal government, they are very happy to see the smooth progress of this performance.
Even on the second day after the agreement was reached, equipment had been set up on site for Jiang Yuan and others to conduct rehearsals.
"There should be spectators down here by tomorrow, right?" Shang Yan'er said, looking at the square through the window.
"Probably, I heard that there will be a preview directly on the big screen outside during the day tomorrow." Jiang Yuan nodded, then turned to look at Paul and others.
This time is a rare occasion for everyone to get together to rehearse. After all, we are completing a performance together.
So during the rehearsal process, everyone will help each other.
Because of the compression of time, preparation for the performance has become much easier for Jiang Yuan.
In the past, some performances would involve Paul and others for live accompaniment rehearsals.
But when the preparation time is not enough like these two times, I can only play the accompaniment tape and perform, which will be relatively easier overall.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Yuan also started rehearsing under the watchful eyes of everyone.
While everyone is rehearsing for "World Song", the popularity of the trailer for the latest feature film on the Internet continues to soar.
The day before the performance in Times Square happened to be the day when the feature film of "World Song" was updated.
Even before the feature film was released, related terms about the show were already on the hot searches.
However, due to the time difference, Jiang Yuan and others had already finished their rehearsal and fell asleep when the show was broadcast.
Recording in a country like Peninsula where everyone is very popular, it is also a rare episode. Before the broadcast, there were various spoilers and repos on the Internet.
But this situation will not make fans and viewers less interested in the show. On the contrary, they have been looking forward to it for a long time.
This is especially true for fans of Jiang Yuan. Whether it is the preview of "HEAVEN" or the descriptions of fans at the scene, everyone is full of expectations for this performance.
Therefore, once the program was launched, a large number of fans were waiting to click the play button immediately.
The most enthusiastic response was also from the peninsula, where this episode was recorded. As soon as the program was launched, various topics were already on the hot searches of the portal website.
The feedback from the linkage is that the names of Jiang Yuan and others have been on the hot searches of Peninsula Music Software.
At the same time, the audio playback of songs such as "Stay With Me" also soared.
Although the travel chapter has been deleted from this main episode of Peninsula War, it does not mean that this part of the content is completely missing.
The duration of the program is nearly an hour longer than before, but for a webcast program, the duration is not that strict.
Many fans were even slightly surprised after seeing this length of time.
After the clips of Jiang Yuan and others starting their journey to arriving on the peninsula to prepare for the performance were broadcast, the program was quite effective and created many corresponding topics.
However, more viewers still focused on the official performance.
Both the venue and the scale of the performance made the audience feel somewhat novel compared to the previous shows.
The broadcast sequence of the stage was also edited in a staggered format between the two teams.
Whether it's Louis and others' street performances, or Sang Yuna and others' more formal stage in the studio, they are all eye-catching.
Jiang Yuan's new song has also successfully attracted a lot of attention on the peninsula, and even composers from many entertainment companies are paying attention to it.
After all, Jiang Yuan’s songs on Peninsula in recent months have swept the charts and even set off a craze for dance challenges.
While many entertainment companies have followed up on the dance challenge, they have also given their composers the task of creating works similar to Jiang Yuan's style.
Zheng Zaihuan is a composer under NK Entertainment. During his lunch break, he saw that the new song "HEAVEN" performed by Jiang Yuan was trending and couldn't help but search out the video and started watching it.
Originally I just planned to listen to it casually as BGM on the way to buy coffee.
But who knew that the first time I clicked on the video, I was completely attracted. I couldn't help but listen to the footsteps and started to watch Jiang Yuan's performance seriously.
First of all, the melody of the song itself is great, and Jiang Yuan’s singing is explosive.
After listening to the song, Zheng Zaihuan felt like he was shocked.
After all, he originally wanted to write a song for his male idol group with a little reference to Jiang Yuan's new song.
But I found that this style of music and the singing tone seemed to be something that not many boy band members could achieve.
Once "HEAVEN" was released, it successfully aroused heated discussions on the Korean Internet.
[This treble is so high that it’s not something a male singer can sing!]
[It’s a completely singer-level singing, which idols can’t compare to!]
[This tone is not easy even for female singers!]
[I hope to see the TV series written by Jiang Yuanxi, this song is already on fire just by listening to it!]
[This open-mic singing ability is really amazing!]
[The stage is also super beautiful. I don’t know when the sound source of the song will be released. 】
As soon as the stage of "HEAVEN" went online, the most heated discussion was about Jiang Yuan's singing skills.
After all, a lot of skills were indeed used in singing such a song.
Coupled with Jiang Yuan's high level of completion and good-sounding songs, the popularity naturally increased as the show progressed.
What followed was an increase in the number of views of the exclusive version of the performance.
After all, when there is no audio source for the song, fans can only listen to the new song through the video.
The main reason is that the recording time is tight, so it is difficult for Jiang Yuan to have time to complete the recording of this song.
After the Peninsula War feature film was released, many fans also paid attention to the latest destination of Jiang Yuan and others.
Then the Internet started to get curious.
[How come the program crew of "World Song" arrived in New York and there was no movement at all? Is it really recorded here? 】
[I heard that I met someone on the street two days ago. It must be recording here, but I don’t know where it will be performed?]
[Maybe you might see a random road show on the street tomorrow.]
[Judging from the time, if there is a performance, it should be within these two days, right?]
…
Even on the external network, after the new episode of the program is broadcast, there are many fans paying attention to the recording of the latest episode.
After all, if there is a chance, everyone wants to go and see it.
The questions that everyone was curious about were successfully answered the next morning when they passed Times Square.
The big screen in Times Square posted posters of Jiang Yuan and others early in the morning, previewing the free celebration performance of "World Song" that would be held on a special stage in the evening.
Although there was no official announcement on the Internet, such a giant screen poster was displayed in this lively neighborhood.
After being photographed by passers-by, it instantly exploded on the Internet.
[We were still discussing it yesterday, but I didn’t expect a big surprise to come so soon!]
[Holy shit, a free performance in Times Square? Please transport me there!]
【Is it okay to just go there? 】
[Damn it, I really had a big surgery this time!]
[5:30 today? I’m going to go grab a seat now!]
[The program team silently held back a big one!]
After the poster was posted online, it was even a pop-up performance that was officially announced that day.
But it quickly attracted a lot of attention.
There is still more than half a day left before the performance, and the scene has already started to become lively.
Many fans rushed over from home as soon as they heard the news.
At the same time, the news that "World Song" will hold a free performance celebration in Times Square is also spreading more and more widely on the Internet.
So much so that at noon, traffic control had to be tightened near the square.
The trend of related topics is also constantly heating up.
When Jiang Yuan and others woke up, they already learned that there were thousands of spectators at the performance.
The size of this audience continued to increase until the performance officially started in the afternoon.
There was still half an hour before the performance officially started, and Jiang Yuan and others had already arrived at the scene.
"There are so many people!" Jiang Yuan glanced downstairs from the window and couldn't help but sigh like Zhou Xun.
"Judging from the reports on the Internet, there are at least tens of thousands of people." Louis took a cocktail, walked to Jiang Yuan and took a look down.
Looking down at the entire square, it is already a bustling place filled with spectators.
The appeal of the entire program lineup is still very strong.
"When I release an album later, I might as well consider coming here to promote it." Louis said with some excitement.
Even though he had experienced many performances, Louis was still more interested in this kind of stage embedded in the building, with the entire square visible.
Hearing Lewis's words, Jiang Yuan also nodded thoughtfully.
Speaking of my new album, it is indeed coming soon. When the time comes, it seems appropriate to come here alone to promote it.
"Let's check the equipment..." Jiang Yuan was thinking about it when he was interrupted by Paul's greeting.
Then he walked to the sofa nearby and sat down, waiting for the show to start.
According to the order of the previously decided song list, Paul was responsible for opening the show.
It was getting closer and closer to the start of the performance, and the whole square was buzzing with people.
Among them, many fans of Jiang Yuan came and occupied a small area in the square. Many fans who got limited edition support sticks lit up a small sea of purple.
Everyone was discussing the new song and looking at the big screen, waiting for the performance to start.
With the last ten seconds left, the countdown numbers began to appear on the big screen.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The entire audience chanted along with the countdown on the big screen.
The sound reached upstairs, and sounded a bit shocking to Jiang Yuan and others.
And Paul has already stood on the stage, ready to go and ready to perform.
While Jiang Yuan and others were waiting for the scene, they couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to record the grand occasion.
"...Two, one!"
As the countdown ended, the stage curtain was lifted.
Paul suddenly strummed the guitar strings, the prelude to the song came live, and the celebration officially began amidst the cheers of the audience.
The song Paul sang was the one shown earlier, and it was really suitable for the opening.
Although the entire stage is not too big, the screen is indeed too big to hold up the square.
Therefore, the audience near the square can clearly see Paul's performance.
As the lead singer of a very popular band, Paul's singing skills are unquestionable, and his opening performance seemed very solid, and he was well received by the audience.
The program team also used drones to shoot and record.
However, this episode is equivalent to a performance that is directly exposed to the world, and the program team has no intention of banning Reuters from leaking it.
After all, there were so many spectators at the scene filming, so it was considered part of the celebration and released online in advance.
As soon as Paul finished singing the song, the atmosphere at the scene was immediately ignited.
There was no talking part, this celebration was more like a pure performance.
After Paul said and handed the next stage to Louis, he stepped aside.
Louis appeared on the stage, and the cheers continued to ring out.
According to the arrangement of the song list, Louis also performed a piece that everyone is familiar with. After starting the performance, it further ignited the emotions of the scene and started the chorus mode.
After dancing along once and feeling a little out of breath, it was time to switch to Arimura Haruka, who sang the lyrical number.
As "Your Name" continues to be a hit, Haruka Arimura also chose to cover one of the OSTs "Dream Lantern" as this performance.
Judging from the style of everyone's singing repertoire, only Haruka and Mero have relatively soothing repertoire.
After Haruka Arimura's singing gave the scene a short break, it then switched to Song Naeun's kpop singing and dancing performance, which once again boosted the atmosphere of the scene.
After Song Na Eun, there is a rock song by Sang Yuna as a connection.
After two consecutive songs that continued to bombard the venue, the celebration soon came to an end.
But for this kind of pop-up performance, even the performance is limited to less than half an hour.
The performance duration of "World Songs" is actually relatively long.
After Shang Yan'er finished her performance, the audience was curious about whether Mero or Jiang Yuan would appear next.
Both of them are very popular on the scene. Melo already has many local fans, while Jiang Yuan has recently attracted many new fans due to his performance on the show and the popularity of his songs.
The order of performances will still be carried out as previously determined.
Before Jiang Yuan, Mero also performed a new song of his own, which was a folk song with a softer melody, narrating it like a story.
Also let the scene take a short break.
After Jiang Yuan watched Mero's performance from the side, he also made preparations. After the other party stepped away, he also walked to the center of the stage in response to the cheers from the scene.
