When he took the stage, Jiang Yuan had already changed into a performance costume.
After experiencing the touring life for half a year, Jiang Yuan has become quite accustomed to the mood when he is about to go on stage.
Especially when the tour just ended not too long ago, I mobilized myself very well and got into a state of preparation for the performance.
Jiang Yuanlai was in charge of opening the concert.
Before Jiang Yuan came on stage, the corresponding appearance animation began to play on the big screen.
Corresponding to the different singers participating in the concert tonight, a high-burning Chinese comic-style debut animation was specially produced based on the style of "The Return of the Great Sage".
When Jiang Yuan's personal poster was displayed on the big screen, the audience immediately began to cheer.
Although there is a big gap between the number of spectators and the stadium, the volume of shouting at this moment is indeed not inferior at all.
The lights dimmed and then came on again. To the audience, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan's figure had appeared on the stage.
Compared with the stadium, the advantage of a small venue is that even the audience in the stands can see Jiang Yuan relatively clearly.
At least it's not just a mini dot, at least you can clearly see Jiang Yuan's movements on the stage.
For the light sticks at the concert, the default basic support color is golden red that matches the movie, which is very eye-catching.
However, the moment Jiang Yuan appeared on the stage, the lighting at the scene also changed to a color that matched the atmosphere of the song.
The opening song is also the ending song "Empty".
Many fans who go to the theater to watch a movie purposely listen to this ending song before leaving after watching the movie.
As the opening song, after Jiang Yuan started singing, the audience was slightly surprised and found that it was slightly different from the version they heard in the cinema.
In the version of the live opening performance, Jiang Yuan did not sing the lyrics, but performed them in the form of humming.
The audience took a serious look at the big screen and discovered that the title of the song on the screen was "Empty (humming version)".
As the opening song of the concert, Jiang Yuan also had some special designs and sang another wordless version of the original work, which is similar to the first song of the opera in a singing form.
As Jiang Yuan sang, the lights in the entire venue turned silvery white.
The stage design on the big screen is a two-dimensional ink animation of some images. An ethereal feeling lingers in the ears of the audience along with Jiang Yuan's singing, which immediately makes the scene quiet.
Although there were no lyrics, as Jiang Yuan hummed, the audience unconsciously began to indulge in Jiang Yuan's singing.
Focusing more on the melody itself, it becomes more and more ethereal and fairy-like.
Coupled with the cloud-like special effects props that erupted from the stage during the performance, many viewers were immersed in the performance and felt as if they were in a different world.
Compared to the official studio version, hearing this song live makes you feel the charm of this song even more.
Many viewers who were not able to get this song when listening to the source were almost lost at the scene.
At the end of the song, many viewers felt a sense of lightness that their souls had been baptized.
When the music stopped, applause burst out spontaneously at the venue, and even some of the cheers from previous performances were not heard.
Only applause resounded after such a song was sung.
Jiang Yuan was wearing a white Chinese-style dress and stood in the mist composed of dry ice. He also gave a slight salute to the audience, and then disappeared into the mist.
In fact, I returned to the backstage through the lifting platform, but the final effect created does indeed have a fairy-like sense of déjà vu.
After the song ended, Jiang Yuan did not sing continuously on the stage.
After all, this is an OST concert, not a personal concert, so after Jiang Yuan left the stage, the lights dimmed again.
A new transition animation began to play on the big screen, some short clips suitable for the atmosphere of the next song, and the next singer's appearance animation.
Following Jiang Yuan was Lu Qing.
When Lu Qing's poster appeared on the big screen, the entire audience cheered warmly.
In this OST, Lu Qing also sang one of the singles passionately.
Like "Empty", it is also a song borrowed by Jiang Yuan from the soundtrack of the movie "The Legend of Wukong".
Although the movie "The Legend of Monkey King" did not restore the original work very well, I have to say that the production of the OST is indeed very strong.
The song sung by Lu Qing is also the title track of the movie. It is a very powerful single and was eventually used as a promotional song for the movie.
It can be regarded as a song that is somewhat independent from the plot.
However, to the audience's ears, it seems to be a close match with the theme of the movie. After all, they are all works inspired by the character of Wukong.
"Who am I to live alone,
Where did I come from and where am I going..."
In the live arranged version, when Lu Qing sang, he also tended to perform in a rock direction.
The large-screen animation, Lu Qing's singing voice, and lyrics instantly resonated strongly with the audience.
Compared with the general audience, the audience at the scene has basically watched the movie.
Even because they were coming to this concert, the audience had already reviewed several OSTs at home in advance.
Except for the fact that "Empty" performed by Jiang Yuan in the form of humming at the beginning was not what the audience expected, the song "The Legend of Wukong" is now very familiar to everyone.
Even though you must be familiar with the song, listening to Lu Qing re-sing every line of the lyrics is also a different feeling.
"It happens again and again every night,
I can’t tell whether it’s indifference or loneliness…”
During the singing of the main song, Lu Qing stood alone in the center of the stage, as if singing an inner monologue, and the emotions in her singing were quite rich.
It echoed the clips played simultaneously at the scene, which made the audience very moved.
Not only at the venue, but there were less than 10,000 spectators in the stadium.
However, this concert was also broadcast in real time. Thousands of viewers in multiple theaters across the country experienced the concert through theater screens and speakers.
There was a slight delay in the broadcast. When Lu Qing was already performing, everyone watched Jiang Yuan's opening performance through the broadcast.
A humming version of "Empty" also shocked fans.
When the transition animation was playing, there were some quiet exchanges in the theater from time to time.
"The singing of this song is a bit too magical!"
“The version sung without words also sounds great!”
“I feel like I’m floating after listening to it!”
"Jiang Yuan is also very suitable for singing such a fairy-like song, as if he is in outer space!"
"The immersion is so strong, I'm completely stuck in it!"
——
Back at the performance site, after the foreshadowing verse ended, Lu Qing's performance quickly reached the climax of the chorus.
The stacked emotions were also released at this moment through Lu Qing's singing.
"I don't want to be able to cover my eyes anymore,
I don’t want this place to bury my heart anymore,
I want all sentient beings to understand what I mean,
I want all those Buddhas to disappear into thin air!!"
The lyrics of the chorus are also very classic and domineering lines from the original work of "The Legend of Wukong".
At this moment, in order to better fit the scene, Lu Qing's performance was much more explosive than the official recording version.
Coupled with the special effects of the big screen and the sound and light, the audience immediately got goosebumps, and their emotions ignited along with the song.
This kind of arrangement greatly takes care of the listening experience of the audience.
If we say that before, Jiang Yuan made an ethereal opening that made the audience attentive.
Then Lu Qing's song "The Legend of Wukong" also completely opened up the atmosphere of the performance, making everyone excitedly wave their light sticks.
When the second chorus sounded again, with a progressive arrangement, Lu Qing's singing became more high-spirited and exciting.
Even because the number of songs to be sung that day did not require too many, in the performance of this song, Lu Qing performed with a kind of concentration in a competitive state.
When the singer is completely focused and relaxed, such a scene is bound to be very contagious.
Especially the last few choruses where the key was continuously raised, Jiang Yuan and the staff could not help but applaud backstage.
It can indeed be heard that Lu Qing is really having fun singing.
After Lu Qing's performance ended, the audience burst into excited cheers, obviously infected by the performance.
But after the song ended, Lu Qing quickly vacated the stage.
It was Ye Xuanqi's turn to appear next. In the waiting room, Jiang Yuan also looked at Ye Xuanqi and gave her a high-five, watching the other party take the stage.
It seemed that he was turned on by Lu Qing's performance. When the transition animation showed Ye Xuanqi's personal poster, Jiang Yuan felt that the cheers seemed to be a little louder than before.
The cheers, which were already warm enough, rose a few degrees again the moment Ye Xuanqi stepped onto the stage.
However, the audience's reaction was relatively understandable. Although Ye Xuanqi came in a hurry for this performance, she still carefully prepared the costumes.
At this time, she stood on the stage wearing a long skirt, as if she had arrived at some important party.
With such exquisite makeup, it is difficult not to make the audience make such a cry.
Especially in the previous performance, Lu Qing almost appeared on the stage without makeup and did not take care of her makeup. The strong contrast made it even more prominent.
The stage background matched Ye Xuanqi's outfit and changed into a quiet blue.
The music sounded, and the song sung by Ye Xuanqi was simultaneously displayed on the big screen.
"My Former Me" is defined as a soundtrack of the movie theme song.
For Jiang Yuan, this is also a song that comes from the original OST of "The Return of the Great Sage".
The piano prelude sounded, and Ye Xuanqi just stood under the spotlight on the stage, which was eye-catching enough for many viewers.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, the single "My Past" is very suitable for Ye Xuanqi's voice to interpret, so he contacted the other party to record this song.
"The call in my heart is always lingering,
The clouds in the wind are coming towards me..."
Ye Xuanqi's singing voice sounded at the scene, which was very beautiful.
Hearing three completely different timbres at the scene, but playing them equally well, it was a shock to the audience.
"You said you were leaving,
Will come back tomorrow..."
It is a ballad, and Ye Xuanqi interprets the charm of the song very well.
At the same time, many techniques were added during the singing process to enrich the listening experience.
"Turn around is not a farewell, separation is inseparable,
If you meet the old me, please bring him back..."
Moving on to the chorus of the song, Ye Xuanqi’s singing is still silky smooth.
While full of emotions, it still ensures the listening experience.
For the audience at the scene, after three songs were played live, there was a listening experience that surpassed the sound source in the studio.
This time, the soundtrack of "The Return of the Great Sage" is not particularly popular compared to some of the previous hits.
However, the movie is being released in a big way, and with a handful of it, it is still doing well in the rankings.
But generally speaking, except for the hit song "Braveheart", the other OSTs are relatively not that popular and are not the kind of tracks that can be heard immediately.
But when combined with the plot of the movie and hearing it live, almost all the audience got it.
In the theater where the broadcast was simultaneously broadcast, the audience had just been shocked by Lu Qing's song "The Legend of Wukong", and then they all praised Ye Xuanqi's beauty when they saw her appearance.
The lyrical song "My Past", sung by Ye Xuanqi, is graceful and moving, and at the same time has a sense of airy distance, which is just right.
And compared to the previous two songs, because this one is considered an "original" song, the live stage design and animation will be more consistent.
After Ye Xuanqi finished her performance, she also bowed slightly to the audience.
At the same time, in addition to saying hello, it was also the first conversation that really started tonight's concert.
"I'm very happy to be here tonight at the "The Return of the Great Sage" OST concert."
"After singing this song, I have been looking forward to seeing the movie. Now it is finally released. I believe everyone here has already watched it in the theater, right?" Ye Xuanqi handed over the microphone to interact with the audience.
stand up.
During the talk session, we followed the script and did a little promotion of the movie.
Ye Xuanqi also mainly took on the job of announcing the curtain, chatting with the audience and turning to the songs.
"I believe that after watching the movie, everyone will be deeply impressed by some of the soundtrack music."
"Well, when I personally watched the movie, the song that impressed me the most was probably the song that follows."
"The name of the song is "Brave Heart", please invite us..." Ye Xuanqi also left Jiang Yuan's name to the audience to shout.
