Peninsula: From Water Injection to Stardom

Chapter 111 Personal Charisma is Visible

Jiang Yan took this Victoria's Secret stage performance very seriously, and naturally didn't slack off during rehearsals.

During the rehearsals, he also got to know some of the supermodels a little better, and their interactions weren't as awkward as they had been at the beginning.

This year's supermodel lineup also includes two Chinese models, He Sui and Xi Mengyao.

Jiang Yan is able to strike up conversations with many supermodels, and these two are partly to credit for that.

However, although it was a meeting between fellow townsmen, he did not intend to have much in-depth communication with these two fellow townsmen.

It's not that I think there's anything wrong with them, but when you're traveling, you have to be careful even if they're from your hometown.

The rehearsal lasted until very late, and afterwards, Jiang Yan generously treated all the supermodels to a meal together.

Although he didn't get to talk to some of these supermodels much, since he was going to treat them all, he naturally did.

Some of the supermodels who were treated to the meal took photos during the meal and posted them on their Instagram accounts, spreading the news that Jiang Yan had treated them.

This can be seen as subtly spreading a good reputation for him abroad.

Then, it was time for the actual recording the next day.

That afternoon, audiences from all over the world lined up in an orderly fashion to have their tickets checked and enter the venue, while watching official behind-the-scenes footage displayed on large screens outside the main venue.

Meanwhile, the final full rehearsal before recording was completed inside the venue.

Then, at 7:45 p.m. New York time, a briefing was held backstage to remind everyone that there were only 15 minutes left in the countdown to the show.

In the waiting area, the media and Victoria's Secret Angels were crowded together.

"Media, please step back. We need to confirm the girls' condition one last time!!"

"9

"Behati! You're the first one up, and you did a final check on your costume and accessories!"

"Bruna! Your wings are crooked, girl over there, please help me straighten them!"

"Everyone, please make sure you have all your items!"

'

When Jiang Yan arrived here with the help of the staff, he heard all sorts of noisy commotion.

He had heard rumors that some models would change clothes backstage in public to save time, but unfortunately he had never seen it with his own eyes.

In his view, all the supermodels were already dressed in pink outfits that looked like bathrobes.

As for what's underneath the outfit, it's the fashionable lingerie that will be showcased later.

"Xiao Jiang, are you ready to start your Victoria's Secret debut?" He Sui walked up to Jiang Yan and asked with a smile.

"Of course, I'm already a little impatient," Jiang Yan replied calmly.

As the two exchanged a few words, a CBS team approached with cameras.

"Hey Yan! Tell me how you're feeling right now?"

"I'm very excited and hope the show can start as soon as possible."

Aren't you nervous?!

"I'm not nervous."

The camera captured Jiang Yan's triumphant smile at that moment.

Actually, it wasn't just American media present today; some media outlets from Asia were also there.

Then, at 8 o'clock, the previously dimly lit runway was instantly illuminated.

Amidst the anticipation of countless audience members, the grand show officially began.

The dim lights illuminated the entire runway, and amidst cheers and screams, the first supermodel walked the catwalk onto the stage.

The first themed chapter, "Boho Psychedelic," did not feature any guest performers; only background music was played.

Meanwhile, in the waiting area not far from the stage, Jiang Yan was watching the Victoria's Secret Angels walk the runway one after another on a broadcast screen.

To be honest, he doesn't really appreciate it, but considering that there might be cameras "ambushing" him, he's putting on a professional smile for now, just to be on the safe side.

The second singer to appear was Bonsai, and his first performance was "In the Night".

After observing for a while, Jiang Yan had to admit that this guy's voice was truly a gift from God; his live performance skills were impeccable, and he was also quite good during typhoons.

And after another twenty minutes or so, we will be coming to the third chapter of the evening, "Portrait of an Angel".

Backstage, Jiang Yan arrived at the platform early, guided by the staff, and checked the status of the in-ear monitor and other equipment.

Then, holding the microphone, he stepped onto the ladder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome YAN JIANG!"

As the background audio introduced him, Jiang Yan's figure slowly rose to the center of the dark stage.

As he stepped onto the stage, countless cameras turned around, ready to capture the moment.

A white beam of light shot down from above, enveloping Jiang Yan completely, followed by "That's What"

The accompaniment to "Like" begins.

He took two leisurely steps forward, and the lights became brighter, illuminating Jiang Yan's face clearly.

He wore a deep blue bespoke suit from Valentino, adorned with Tiffany's classic T-series men's accessories.

At that moment, regardless of whether the foreigners in the audience knew him or not, cheers and screams erupted instantly amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere.

"IgotacondoinManhattan"

"Baby girl what's hatnin"

"You and your assistant invited"

"Sogon「andgettoclappin"

As the intro ended, Jiang Yan grabbed the microphone and began to sing.

Behind him, the stunning Brazilian Victoria's Secret supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio appeared on the runway in a flash.

She walked in, wearing a white lace and tulle bodice and pants, with butterfly-shaped wings on her back.

As Ambrosio passed by Jiang Yan, she took his arm and touched his shoulder.

After stopping to display her work at the designated spot, on her way back, she blew Jiang Yan a kiss as she passed by him again.

This interaction drew applause and screams from the audience, but it was just the beginning.

The second, third, fourth, and fifth supermodels who followed—in short, many supermodels—also interacted with Jiang Yan in various ways during the show.

It's not that every performer on stage can have a lot of interaction with the supermodel; sometimes it also depends on the singer's personal charm.

Clearly, Jiang Yan is very charming in the eyes of the audience right now, otherwise she wouldn't be so popular with these Victoria's Secret Angels.

The three-minute performance quickly came to an end.

Then, the song ended, and the audience's applause and screams once again resounded throughout the venue.

Jiang Yan put down the microphone, gave a graceful bow to the camera, then turned around and walked back to the backstage area, waving to the audience on both sides of the path the models had taken.

However, the end of this performance does not mean that he has completed his task.

In about ten minutes, he will go on stage again to sing "Yes or No" for another chapter, "Ice and Snow Angel".
