"Tsk, it's rare to see such a vicious music critic give such a high evaluation."
Louis browsed the music review of "Viva la vida" written by Aaron and said to Jiang Yuan with some envy.
As a singer who is still active, it is difficult not to care about the reputation of the outside world every time he releases a new song.
Aaron is one of the music critics that Louis pays attention to.
Although quite a few music critics are disgusting in Aaron's eyes, every music review Aaron gives is a well-founded analysis, which makes Louis feel quite convinced after reading it.
After all, sometimes music critics with high professional standards still need to exist.
For a popular singer like Louis, every time a new song is listened to by people around him before it is released, he basically gets a lot of praise.
Over time, it is easy to form a situation where the new work is actually not that good, but it gets lost in the praise.
"Really?" Jiang Yuan looked on with some surprise, "I always thought he was the kind of music critic who talks nonsense."
The main reason is that when Jiang Yuan saw the music review written by Aaron, it was really difficult to associate it with the word "venomous tongue".
Hearing what Jiang Yuan said, Lewis couldn't help but was speechless.
"Forget it, let me give up my seat first. I don't know what the program team is going to announce, so I called everyone together at noon."
After Louis saw Shang Yan'er and others appearing in his sight, he wisely gave up the seat next to Jiang Yuan.
The day after enjoying the aurora, the program team summoned Jiang Yuan and others and said they wanted to hold a small meeting.
There were only two days left before the performance, and Jiang Yuan and others thought it was time to reveal it.
Not long after Shang Yan'er and others took their seats, Sun Tao appeared in front of everyone.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go to the performance venue together!"
Sun Tao watched everyone ponder for a moment, then clapped his hands and said hello.
The program team arranged vehicles and took Jiang Yuan and others directly to the performance site.
"Are we going to perform here?" When approaching the destination, Haruka Arimura said with some surprise when she saw the familiar scenery outside the window.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan also glanced out the window. It was indeed very familiar. It was the concert hall he had checked in not long after arriving in Iceland.
When we were taking pictures nearby, everyone laughed together and said that we might perform here after that.
I didn't expect this instruction to come so quickly.
I got out of the car and followed the program crew all the way into the concert hall.
Compared with the music festivals and other events I have participated in in the past, the venue is an indoor venue after all, so the scale is naturally much smaller.
But even without seats, it can accommodate a large number of spectators.
Looking at the empty venue, Jiang Yuan and others naturally thought of a question: where would the audience come from if a performance was to be held in this place.
At this time, Sun Tao stopped in time, faced Jiang Yuan and others, coughed lightly, and was about to explain the situation.
"As you can see, this is the venue for our final farewell performance of "World Songs"."
"That is, in two days, everyone will perform the last performance of this program on this stage." Sun Tao pointed to the stage that had been arranged behind him and said.
Everyone continued to look at Sun Tao, not surprised by this.
"This performance will adopt a public welfare ticketing system, and tickets will be sold publicly online and offline. All proceeds will be donated to..." Sun Tao paused and explained the more critical audience issue.
"But there's not much time left before the show starts. Isn't it too late to sell tickets?" Song Na'en raised her hand worriedly.
"So we also need to use everyone's influence to promote online." Sun Tao nodded and said.
This time is indeed a bit rushed for ticket sales for a performance.
At least it is basically difficult for fans from other places to support us.
However, considering the local popularity of all the guests, the fact that the ticket price is not too high, and the venue is not particularly large, Sun Tao feels that there is still a good chance that the event will be sold out.
After listening to Sun Tao explain the general situation, Jiang Yuan and others did not delay. While preparing for the rehearsal, they updated the material posters prepared by the program team on their respective accounts.
Relying on the influence of Jiang Yuan and other guests on the entire network.
As soon as the farewell performance of "World Songs" was officially announced, it immediately became a topic and sparked heated discussions.
[I actually had to say goodbye to the show...]
[I jumped out of bed when I saw the ticket sales information. When I saw the performance location, I excused myself.]
【Ah ah ah ah, is it too late to fly over now? 】
[Tickets are so low. I don’t know when I’ll be able to see a performance with this kind of lineup if I miss it. 】
[Why was the official announcement only three hours before the ticket opening? It was completely too late ππ]
[Oh my god, I happened to be traveling. I thought I wouldn’t meet you by chance, but I didn’t expect there would be a performance. Come on!!]
After the farewell performance information was officially announced, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
It's just that most of the fans who are not local are upset. Fans who are not local may not be able to make it to the venue even if they get tickets.
In addition, many local fans were still in a state of ecstasy.
After all, even if people like Louis, Paul and others start touring, it would be difficult for them to tour to Iceland.
Therefore, it is a rare opportunity for fans to see their idols perform locally, and the tickets are not too expensive.
Of course, there are also some wealthy fans. After seeing this information, they immediately booked air tickets and prepared to fly over to watch the show.
As for Jiang Yuan and others, after updating their news, they began to concentrate on preparing for their own performances.
In addition to the songs I prepared for the last performance, in order to be able to support the duration of a ticketed performance.
Everyone also increased the number of songs to be performed to three.
So the rehearsal situation is still quite complicated. After all, everyone needs to cooperate with lighting positioning and so on.
But fortunately, the repertoire that everyone is going to sing is relatively familiar, so the performance is quite familiar, and the rehearsal will not be too difficult.
"good news!!"
In the evening, while Jiang Yuan was still rehearsing on the spot, Song Naen's attention was attracted by her shouting while holding her mobile phone high.
“Sold out!”
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Naeun said while showing the "World Song" ticket sales page.
All tickets for the event have been marked "Sold out".
After hearing the news, Jiang Yuan's mood improved a little.
It has only been a short time since the invoicing, and the appeal is obviously quite strong.
Previously, I was a little worried that if the tickets were not sold out when the performance was approaching, I would go out on the street to sell tickets.
There is no need to worry about this now.
Jiang Yuan paused the rehearsal and took out his mobile phone to search for the live ticket sales of the performance on the Internet.
It was found that in addition to the tickets being sold out, there were even many fans who missed the opportunity to grab tickets because they missed the temporary official announcement from the program team.
Jiang Yuan thought about it and thought it was the same. From the official announcement of the performance to the ticket sales, it didn't even take half a day.
In other words, fans who did not pay attention to the official announcement of the performance at that time directly missed the performance.
As soon as I went online, I immediately saw the news that the tickets were sold out. I was confused for a while and didn't know what the show was. Then I started to feel sad after learning the relevant information.
But at this time, the program team will take action.
Jiang Yuan refreshed the information a little, and then saw the news that the official account of the program team announced that some tickets would be released again.
In fact, during the first round of ticket sales, the program team was a little more conservative.
Tickets were not sold according to the maximum number of spectators the venue could accommodate.
The main concern was that the audience would not be large enough and it would appear deserted, so even the venue chose this kind of concert hall without seats.
In this way, at least there will be no empty seats.
But the market for the performance was much better than the program team imagined. Not only was it sold out, it was even sold out in just two or three hours.
Although it is completely incomparable to the solo concerts of Jiang Yuan and others, at this time, it is already very powerful that a temporarily officially announced performance can have such appeal.
So after Sun Tao thought about it, he directly released the remaining tickets.
This also gives some fans who have the conditions to come to the show but have not bought tickets for various reasons a new opportunity.
The second round of tickets is on sale, and sales will not be much slower than the first round.
It also sold out in about the same amount of time.
From the official announcement of the performance, to the ticketing, and then to all the performances being sold out, the whole process was completed in one day.
The news that the tickets were sold out was a shot in the arm for Jiang Yuan and others who were busy rehearsing.
With the target audience in mind, everyone became more energetic in preparation.
Time soon came to the day of the performance, and the opening time was scheduled for the evening.
Before the performance started, Jiang Yuan and others were sitting in a nearby cafe and observing the live action nearby.
But we didn't stay long, and everyone returned to the venue with coffee in hand.
As the performance approached, the flow of people nearby increased significantly.
Everyone felt that they might be recognized if they stayed any longer, so they left early.
In fact, this is indeed the case, a few hours before the show starts.
The area near the venue was obviously lively to the naked eye.
Many fans came to the scene in advance.
Jiang Yuan even saw a group photo of his fan group gathering to check in on Yuan Universe.
Jiang Yuan gave a thumbs up, but seeing that there was not much time left before the performance started, there was no time to do anything to support him.
When it was time to enter, fans naturally began to check in and check in, creating a lively scene.
The originally empty venue was filled up bit by bit by spectators.
Jiang Yuan and others could also feel the atmosphere of the scene backstage.
There was still a long time before the performance officially started, but the audience was already almost there.
Mainly because the seats at the front of the auditorium are arranged on a first-come, first-served basis, so everyone is very active in queuing.
Despite this, everyone still performed according to the set time of the performance.
After arriving, a ceremonial countdown to the performance began on the big screen.
After the ten-second countdown ended, the lights in the entire venue dimmed. Jiang Yuan had already held the microphone and put on his earphones, ready to go on stage.
Tonight's performance, according to the performance order, Jiang Yuan is the first guest to open the show.
When the lights came on again, the sound of music appeared on the stage together with Jiang Yuan, causing cheers from the audience.
Although it can't compare with the roar of the stadium audience, the sound from thousands of spectators gathered in the concert hall is quite shocking.
The passionate prelude of "Viva la vida" sounded at the scene. As a new song that had just been released, Jiang Yuan included this song without hesitation when choosing the performance track.
It just so happens that the song is also a popular one because of the video of the performance in Times Square.
It is also a song that many fans at the scene regretted not being able to hear. They did not expect that their dream would come true when today's performance just started.
The fluorescent bracelets worn by the audience began to flash and flicker to the rhythm of the music, like breathing.
In addition, Jiang Yuan could also see some fans bringing their own support banners and support sticks to the scene.
To a certain extent, this performance can be regarded as a small platter, so there is no explicit prohibition on carrying light signs.
"I used to rule the world..."
In the warm atmosphere, Jiang Yuan began to perform.
Since the preparation time is not long, most of the on-site choreography can only be completed by sound, light and electricity.
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan's singing is very powerful, and the lighting engineer has good standards, which made the entire opening performance ignite in terms of audio-visual effects.
Compared to the time before the song was released, Jiang Yuan's performance this time was undoubtedly more able to arouse the emotions of the audience.
Especially when it comes to the chorus part, there is no need for Louis and others to come on stage to help with the harmony.
It immediately aroused the chorus of chorus from the entire audience. The first performance tonight has already ignited the atmosphere of the entire venue.
After singing one song and igniting the emotions of the audience, Jiang Yuan did not continue to stay on the stage, but waved to the audience and handed the stage to the next singer to appear.
In terms of the arrangement of the singing sequence, we still adopted the same arrangement as the previous Times Square performance.
Each person sings a song, and then they take turns taking turns.
After Jiang Yuan returned to the backstage, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
By this time, Paul had also taken the stage to continue Jiang Yuan's performance.
After the performance started, the audience was completely in the zone.
Backstage, everyone's status is also different.
Some are still applying make-up, while others are still practicing quite nervously.
Jiang Yuan found a seat and sat down, wiped the sweat from jumping on the stage just now, and then waited for his second appearance on the stage.
Because the time was very tight, we didn’t communicate much. It felt like it wouldn’t be long before Jiang Yuan appeared again.
