Esports world champion, debuted as the center of a talent show
Chapter 48 1 Public Stage
As the melody gradually progressed, the stage lights slowly came on.
Yu Wen's transitions were very natural, much more relaxed than during the quiz and rehearsals.
He faced the light and stood tall, the naivety of his early stage performances gone. Now, he commanded the stage like a seasoned singer.
Cool white and blue lights shone directly on the stage, and the huge background screen in the center of the stage had delicate water ripples flowing in a loop.
Yu Wen's performance ended smoothly, and he turned around and took two steps to the back row. Shen Fengyu filled in the gap by following the trajectory of the water ripples on the screen.
As the interlude ended, Shen Fengyu lowered his eyes slightly and began to sing.
His voice was deep and warm, his expression filled with an unyielding sadness, and he enunciated each word with perfect precision, his breath steady and unwavering throughout.
When he sang the transitions, he handled them exceptionally naturally, without deliberately showing off his skills, yet he sang them completely and smoothly.
After that, it was the turn of the others to take turns in the center position. Several verses expressed the regrets, and although each person had a different style, they all sang the emotions of the song to the fullest extent.
As the verse ends, the melody of the accompaniment suddenly changes, and the originally gentle tune rises sharply, bringing the whole song into its climax without warning.
Almost as soon as the melody began, the stage lights instantly changed and flashed, intertwining with the blue light of the lake below the stage, making the entire stage exceptionally dazzling at that moment.
Jiang Zhiyu walked back to the center, his figure completely enveloped by the interplay of light and shadow.
If the verses express a suppressed and restrained sadness, then this chorus is a complete release of that emotion.
The word "release" that the production team gave him during rehearsals made him think about for a long time. At one point, he suddenly realized that the key to interpreting this song well is whether he has truly entered into the emotions that the song wants to express and whether he has put himself into the outlet of this emotion.
Jiang Zhiyu's voice is clear and penetrating. He sings along with the melody, completely immersed in the emotions of the song, and every line he sings is full of intense emotion.
"The lamp at the alley entrance no longer waits for me."
The evening breeze, for you, gently knocks on the window.
As Jiang Zhiyu sang the last line of this part, his voice trembled slightly, and the natural emotional fluctuations instantly touched the hearts of the audience, bringing the bitterness and regret in the song to its peak.
The overhead lighting caused the shadows of Jiang Zhiyu's eyelashes to hang below his eyes, resembling tear stains or ripples in the shifting light, echoing the blue fishtail lines at the corners of his eyes.
Lu Shanshan stared intently at the figure on the stage, subconsciously covering her mouth, her eyes reddening, her nose tingling, and tears welling up in her eyes, almost falling directly.
She was completely captivated by Jiang Zhiyu's emotions, even her breathing slowed down, and she couldn't take her eyes off him anymore.
The harmonies of the seven members were not noisy at all; they coordinated perfectly, with different vocal ranges colliding and blending seamlessly without any sense of disharmony, controlling the rhythm of the entire stage.
"This unopened letter holds the warmth of half a lifetime."
Every word and phrase is waiting for someone.
Later, separated by mountains and seas, we no longer cared about the passing of spring and autumn.
Only longing remains, gently covered in dust.
Inside the venue, only a few people remained, their heartfelt performance continuing. The entire audience held their breath in unison. Everyone's heartbeat rose and fell with the rhythm of the song, completely immersed in the performance, forgetting to cheer or shout, only filled with awe and emotion.
As the music fades into the finale, the melody gradually slows down, transitioning from a high pitch to a gentler pace. The previously dazzling lights also soften, and the atmosphere on stage becomes more subdued.
Time passes silently, yet it builds up longing.
After singing the last line, Jiang Zhiyu, who was sitting on the high stool in the center, put down the microphone and looked directly at the camera facing him.
In the close-up shot at the end of the performance, his expression was compassionate, like a noble but broken young master, both beautiful and fragile.
The lingering charm of the song echoed throughout the venue, and the audience remained silent for a moment, still caught up in the performance.
Only after a few seconds did the long-suppressed cheers and applause erupt, almost lifting the roof off the stadium.
"Jiang Zhiyu—" "Jiang Jiang!"
"Wenwen is so great!" "Yaowei, look at me!"...
"Go Shen Fengyu!" Shen Fengyu looked at the audience in surprise, then her eyes reddened slightly, and she lowered her head to hide her expression.
The audience's feedback is the best affirmation of their efforts, and now they are confident that they have succeeded.
Their first public performance was fraught with difficulties and hardships. During the 72 hours of extreme practice, they almost burned themselves out, using the least amount of rest time to maximize their practice efficiency.
But no matter how hard or tiring it was, it was nothing compared to the cheers and applause that filled the stadium at that moment.
[Only awe-inspiring.]
[I never expected this song to be performed so well; the emotional impact is so strong!]
[I feel like the entire cast of "Unbelievable A" is incredibly talented... I've listened to all of their songs, and I think they're all great.]
[Jiang Zhiyu's opening and ending were simply amazing. How can he be so brilliant? It gave me goosebumps.]
[The main point is that this set not only sounds great, but it's also a visual treat.]
[Who understands? The close-up of Jiang Zhiyu in the ending scene was so beautiful it made me shudder.]
Everyone was cheering for the stage and for Jiang Zhiyu; the screams rose and fell and could not be calmed for a long time.
The contestants backstage couldn't help but stand up and applaud enthusiastically, their eyes filled with amazement and admiration.
The trainee standing next to Wei Shuang asked him, "Are you nervous? This is your opponent."
Kui Shuang didn't turn around, her eyes fixed on Jiang Zhiyu, who was slightly out of breath on the broadcast screen, with a smile in her eyes: "No, on the contrary, I'm very excited."
After a long while, the cheers from the audience gradually subsided. Guan Liu picked up the microphone and made no attempt to hide his appreciation: "Very good, the overall rhythm was even better this time."
As he spoke, he turned to face the audience and pointed to the seven people standing on the stage: "To be honest, none of us were optimistic about them at first, because it would be a very difficult task for them to quickly adjust the stage in such a short time. But obviously, they exceeded all our expectations and gave us a very excellent performance."
Another scream erupted from below the stage, and Guan Liu's words once again ignited the entire venue.
Due to time constraints, the mentor feedback session was short; after each of the four mentors gave a brief speech, the session moved on to the next stage.
Yu Lan, holding the microphone, said, "Thank you to Group A for such a wonderful performance. Next, let's welcome the contestants from Group B to the stage!"
In "The Unopened Letter", the captain of Group B is Wei Shuang. During the few days of practice, apart from the time when he asked if he needed help, Jiang Zhiyu tacitly avoided asking him about the progress of the practice.
