Good value for money
Liu Sui, who was monitoring the concert in real time, sighed deeply.
Aurora's team leader and official spokesperson is impeccable and can handle all major occasions with ease.
Once in front of his 'own people', Yi Jingchen seemed to have turned on the 'idiot' switch, appearing particularly clear-headed and stupid.
Liu Sui clenched his back teeth tightly.
What else can I do?
Just bear with it.
The total duration of the concert is limited, and the talk session is not a free-flowing and aimless discussion. The company has set the time and theme in advance.
The theme of the opening talk was naturally the expectations and feelings about the first concert.
Each brother was particularly passionate about speaking, chattering out his current thoughts.
"My friends on the mountain, how are you?"
Du Xingwei drew stars under his eyes with glitter, looked up and waved to the stands, looking so beautiful.
"Before we started, everyone kept saying the venue was small. I thought it was that small, but during rehearsal I realized how huge it was!"
Tian Xitu, who was standing nearby, chimed in, "When I've performed in theaters before, they only held a few hundred people. This is the biggest stage I've ever stepped on."
People's joys and sorrows are different. Mu Gan looked around and muttered softly, "Is it very big?"
Shu Lang waved towards the official camera and said excitedly, "Leader, I've made good on the promise you made me!"
"Brother Lang." Luchu tugged at his shirt and whispered, "The first game won't be live."
In order to ensure the best experience for the audience and avoid cranes and cameras blocking the view, the first concert was not live broadcast.
Audience members who were not present could only watch the concert at a later time through live footage taken by fans or official fixed-angle replays of the entire concert.
Online audience: Our lives are also lives...
"Holding a concert is not a part of my life plan."
Li Jibai dyed his hair into a very saturated golden color, which made him look very idol-like, and he was totally different from the science and engineering boy who just appeared on "Super Idol".
"But I did it." He clenched his fists, as serious as ever. "Fight for the honor of Aurora."
Before he spoke, Yi Jingchen had already avoided his gaze to avoid being infected by the right protector's immature spirit.
You Lingyu glanced at every corner of the venue and noticed the people who came for him, with bright joy in his eyes.
"I just feel like it's so great to be able to debut!"
"Right." Yan Zhichen echoed, smiling broadly at everyone, "I never imagined I'd have so much potential for growth after graduation."
Yi Jingchen waited for everyone to finish speaking before picking up the microphone again.
"Thank you for coming all the way here to attend our first concert."
After a few seconds of pausing, he continued, "I want to thank you for creating us, allowing the nine of us to stand on this stage as a group."
"So, please enjoy the gift we give you in return~"
Yi Jingchen smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the stage lights dimmed again.
Everyone knows that this means the next stage is about to begin, and they can't help but feel nervous and excited.
"Ahhh! Stupid Koomi is so good at talking."
"He didn't say 'give it to us', but 'give it back to us'. I don't know how to describe it... I felt really touched."
"I understand you! It's like the flowers I planted in the spring bloomed in the summer."
"Sister! You are so good at talking. Be my friend~"
Before Aurora debuted, almost no one guessed that the nine of them would eventually form a group.
When the group was first formed, it was surrounded by all kinds of doubts.
They questioned whether Yi Jingchen was worthy of the C position, disliked Du Xingwei for being too young, condemned Tian Xitu for betraying his original company, dissed Shu Lang for sucking blood to get to the top, etc.
You Lingyu and Yan Zhichen, who had just entered the debut circle on the night of the finals, were insulted by countless people for "stealing other people's dreams."
In the blink of an eye, Aurora has gone through three months of ups and downs, facing all kinds of abuse and doubts.
They now stood on the stage, a complete group.
All those rumors and negative comments were crushed by the nine younger brothers with their strength.
"Ahhh! It's 'Plan A'!"
"Who knows? I've heard it countless times when it was on the charts, but it's still so exciting to listen to the live version."
"It seems our eldest princess has re-choreographed the dance. Yi Jingchen actually added two big moves."
"His foundation was too weak before, so we didn't dare to make it more difficult. After adding two sections, it looks even more explosive."
"Chenchen has made great progress. In two months, he will be able to compete for the group's dance leader position."
Concerts are different from other stages. You have to face the audience directly, which is equivalent to giving an answer to all fans.
The brothers have been training hard since the day they debuted. During the preparation period, they turned down all personal and group announcements, secluded themselves for a full half month, and put all their efforts into delivering a satisfactory result.
Since Aurora only has one album, it is not enough to support a concert.
Therefore, in addition to the album tracks, they will also perform the "Super Idol" theme song, Aurora's debut song, and several classic stages during the competition.
To put it bluntly, it's just rehashing old stuff.
Except for the limited song "You and I Are All Light", all the songs have been performed before.
Even though the fans were extremely tolerant and actively paid for the concert without raising any objections.
The younger brothers, however, were unwilling to be perfunctory and tried their best to cook up new twists on every old dish.
Especially Aurora's "Princess", the stage was re-arranged to give every audience a refreshing experience.
The brothers showed their full sincerity, and the audience could naturally feel it. They cheered and supported them even harder and said that the concert was worth the price of the ticket.
The audience didn’t expect that what was truly worth the ticket was yet to come.
In addition to the songs from the first album, the songs Aurora prepared for the competition are more energetic than the last.
Before the show started, everyone heard the host reveal that songs from the competition period would be performed on the spot, and they thought it would be the performance stage of those popular songs.
Who would have thought that as soon as the prelude of the first song that was performed was played, at least half of the people at the scene couldn't sit still and were about to jump up with excitement.
The song title appeared on the main screen, three large characters that seemed to have magical power:
Broken Dimension
Original Singer/Cat
“What the hell! What the hell!!!!”
"You actually chose 'Breaking Dimensions'? My dimensional wall is going to be broken?"
"Burn, Chuunibyou!"
"If I had known I would have come in a cosplay costume!"
Before the show started, everyone knew that the songs from the competition would be played again, but no one thought of "Breaking Dimension".
There are quite a lot of excellent performances in "Super Idol".
"Broken Dimension", which has repeatedly failed and been criticized, causing Yi Jingchen to be criticized as "nothing worthy of Class A", is not included in the list.
Even though people gradually recognized Yi Jingchen and his reputation turned around, no one mentioned "Breaking Dimension" again.
The reason is nothing else-
Opening the comment section of "Breaking Dimension", in reverse chronological order, it was the cat fans who were cursing at the beginning.
He keeps saying things like "riding on the popularity", "imitating others without success", and "stay away from my cat", and his swear words are particularly unpleasant.
How can I, a cat chef, have the nerve to mention this?
I thought I would never have the chance to hear "Breaking Dimension" in this life.
Who would have thought that Yi Jingchen would bring Cat God's only representative song to everyone in this way.
It's like a hurt kitten, turning over its soft belly to humans again and saying in a sticky voice: I forgive you, please don't bully me anymore.
Everyone imagined that scene and felt restless all over.
All the stage lights were on, and he had already turned around, throwing off his white cloak, and scanning the audience.
"Are you ready?"
“Yes!”
"Ready!"
Everyone responded loudly.
Yi Jingchen took half a step to the side, and four teammates flew over from the left and right sides.
They did not stand in the middle, but on the left and right sides, leaving the C position vacant, waiting for every two-dimensional boy who is ready to break through the dimension.
"Follow me into the grand fantasy land."
"Those hidden illusions of yours."
"All transformed into immortal glory."
The cheers from the audience were getting louder and louder.
Many people who were attending a concert for the first time and were not used to the social anxiety of live situations completely let themselves go and almost shouted their voices out.
In the audience, someone shouted at the top of his lungs, "The 2D world is the best."
The voice seemed to be contagious, and in an instant, the same words were heard in other corners.
Many people who had never been exposed to the second dimension, and even had some prejudice against otaku, were also infected at this moment and shouted in unison, "Yes, you two are really great!"
"The second dimension never graduates!"
Amid the bustling crowd, the song is coming to an end.
Yi Jingchen did not perform magic this time, but waved a flashing magic wand, which seemed to be able to really help everyone realize their wishes.
"Hi."
"The self you hide outside of your daily life."
As the magic wand was waved, everyone looked over devoutly at the same time, as if to be influenced by the gods.
Aurora's other eight teammates came over at the same time, opened their arms towards them, and sang in unison with full energy:
"Break through the dimension."
"For a limited time."
"Release the infinite you."
"ah--!!!"
The audience screamed loudly.
It seemed as if they had really broken through the thick barrier that separated ideals and reality through their singing.
The concert was not broadcast live, so the online audience could only frantically refresh the webpage and beg the fans present to pity the babies left behind.
Not long after the show started, I saw them singing "Breaking Dimension" on the spot. The poor guy who didn't get a ticket was so anxious that he went crazy, begging some fan club member to give him a live video.
After jumping up and down for more than ten minutes, I finally saw a new video released by my pet silver tabby.
Homemade Silver Gradient: Sorry, the internet speed in the venue is very slow. We will update the multi-camera after the show. [Video - "Breaking Dimension" direct shot]
As soon as the video was released, it immediately attracted fans of the nine groups and the number of views increased rapidly.
The domesticated silver tabby cat was filming in its own VIP seat, with a limited viewing angle, and the singing of the younger brothers was drowned out by the screams and shouts from the audience.
She posted a straight shot without blurring out any of her teammates, nor focusing the camera solely on Yi Jingchen.
Use the most advanced equipment so that everyone can see the entire stage, so as not to waste the stage design and movement that the stupid Xiaochen has worked so hard to rehearse.
Looking at the comment section, no one is finding fault at all.
Fans of each group are expressing their love, praising the rich sister for being beautiful, kind-hearted and deserving of her fortune.
Before the concert ended, the live video of "Breaking Dimension" had already become a hot topic, and marketing accounts reposted the original video one after another, creating several entries.
#Aurora concert breaks the dimension#
#Chinese entertainment middle second ceiling boy group#
#Is Yi Jingchen a magician?
…
Just open any trending search and you will find that the discussion level is very high. Many people who have dissed Yi Jingchen for riding on the popularity took the opportunity to quietly apologize to him.
[Oh my god, this is actually a direct shot by a fan of the limited group, the fan club is really big]
[We don’t blur each other’s faces in Aurora~ But the rich sister is really generous, beautiful women are here to post]
[Who understands the value of this stage!!! The first stage of "Breaking Dimension" gave me a heart attack for a long time]
[+1, I originally thought it was just another variety show trying to capitalize on the popularity, so I told myself to be patient. After all, the show relies on copyright fees to survive. Then I saw the term "three-dimensional cat" and couldn't help but curse a few times... Private Masa Wadashi didn't mean it.]
[Luckily, I didn't follow the trend of criticizing the show, which is more than 90% of the fans. After that ten-minute long video, I watched the first stage of "Breaking Dimension" again, and the more I watched, the more uncomfortable I felt.]
[Really! Looking back, I realized my cat was so hardworking and cute, but it was all ruined by my two teammates.]
[Thankfully, Aurora's concert remastered "Breaking Dimensions," and I'm happy.]
[I'm a little greedy, I still hope to see the cat palace version]
[Sisters upstairs! Send a private message to the organizer of the ACG exhibition! Bombard him with short essays! My cat is confirmed to be participating in the exhibition next year, let him arrange a performance.]
[Let's go, let's form a group and bomb. If I don't see the Cat Palace version, I'll cry for him!!!]
At the concert, Aurora, who had no idea that her stage alone had caused thousands of people to write blood letters, was having a halftime talk.
Zoo Overture has a total of 18 songs, and two encores, 15 of which are singing and dancing songs, which is a huge burden to sing from beginning to end.
Therefore, a ten-minute talk was arranged in the middle to give them a break.
Yi Jingchen took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped the sweat from his temples, and said distressedly, "My newly dyed hair keeps fading."
Du Xingwei said with considerable experience, "It's fine after washing it twice. Didn't you wash it?"
"No," Yi Jingchen replied, "My hairstylist said that this light pink color is very fragile and can only last for three days. It will disappear after washing."
"Senior," Li Jibai said sincerely, "You should wear fake fur next time."
"Why doesn't your hair fade?" Yi Jingchen felt it was unfair.
Li Jibai, who had dyed his hair golden, replied, "My hair is light in color. I bleached it twice and it's almost golden."
"Stop!" Shu Lang stopped them and pointed at the teleprompter. "Is our topic hair?"
"Okay." Yi Jingchen put away the tissue he used to wipe his sweat and asked everyone with a smile, "Did you like the performance just now?"
"like!"
The audience responded loudly.
"What's your favorite song?"
“Plan A!”
"A Journey in the Moon~"
"Breaking Dimensions!"
"Yes, yes, I like 'Breaking Dimension' the most!"
“The other songs are also very good, but ‘Broken Dimension’ is a pleasant surprise and an unexpected one.”
"As expected, everyone likes 'Breaking Dimension'." Yan Zhichen said with a smile, "Actually, this song was requested by Li Jibai, and the team leader originally disagreed."
Tian Xitu: "We are a minority and obey the majority. The captain compromised."
Li Jibai nodded and said proudly, "This is my dream."
"Your dream is so easy to fulfill." Yi Jingchen sighed, "Actually, I don't have the confidence to sing this song well. I didn't have much confidence during the first performance."
[Although "Breaking Dimensions" was written based on my vocal comfort zone...]
[I feel nervous every time I sing.]
[Maybe it’s because I wasn’t wearing any cosplay clothes, but I felt like I was streaking while singing.]
[I'll try a different vest next time.]
Everyone became even more excited when they heard Yi Jingchen's beep.
If they were able to respond, they would definitely force Yi Jingchen to perform again on the spot.
Luchu clenched the microphone and cleared his throat.
The whole place quieted down a bit.
"Well... because our group doesn't have many works, many of the songs we sang at this concert were songs we've already performed. If there's a next concert, Aurora's own works will definitely account for more than half of the performance. Thank you all for your tolerance towards us."
Even though the audience and fans had no complaints, Lu Jue, as a creator in the Aurora group, felt somewhat guilty for not being able to write enough original works to support a concert.
"Jiujiu, you're already amazing!" Yi Jingchen sensed Lujiu's emotions and didn't say things like 'It's okay' or 'Keep up the good work'. Instead, he praised her, saying, "We have seven songs of our own! Seven! We've only been in the industry for less than seven months!"
Du Xingwei also smiled and said, "Yes. We already have seven songs in just three months. By the time we have our anniversary concert, we will definitely have a lot of songs."
"There are seven songs?" Mu Gan, who was extremely insensitive, asked in confusion, "There are only five songs on the first album."
"There are also debut songs and limited edition songs. Although they are not included, they are also our Aurora songs."
Mu Gan said "Oh" and leaned over to look at Lu Ju. "I'll write with you."
"Thank you." Luchu's initial anxiety eased a bit, and he smiled at his friends. "Yuyu just said it's great to debut, and I feel the same way. Before, it was just me, but now if anything goes wrong, you guys will share it with me."
After Luju finished speaking, the team spirit of the other friends was ignited.
Only Yi Jingchen had this thought in his mind:
[Jiujiu just cueed Yuyu. Birds and fish are indeed real. I got it again!]
audience:……
At this moment when the team spirit is so strong, the only thing on your mind is shipping the couple?
Give me a bite too.
The intermission talk ended and the second half of the concert began.
From the time the concert was launched until now, everyone has been saying that Aurora has too few works and the concert will just be a rehash of old stuff.
As the concert slowly drew to a close, everyone was horrified to discover:
Aurora can sing so many songs!
Every song performed at the concert was filled with memories, making everyone exclaim "My youth is back".
——Although youth didn’t last long.
As the concert neared its end, the audience realized:
"Wait, is this the last song?"
"Where's 'The Blue Sky at That Time'?!"
"I waited all night for 'The Blue Sky at That Time', but it wasn't sung."
"There's no 'Never Over' either. I thought we'd see them all showing off their abs."
"The third performance was only halfway through, what's going on?"
The audience couldn't believe that the song they were looking forward to for the third public performance was not on the playlist.
Is it during the encore?
Soon, everyone denied this possibility.
'Encore' refers to the song that the performers return to the stage to perform after the concert ends and the audience shouts 'encore', which is like an Easter egg at the end.
For idol encore songs, we will choose the most memorable and meaningful songs.
For Aurora, it must be the two group songs "Super pick" and "Aurora", and there is no place for them on the third public stage.
The audience who were looking forward to "The Blue Sky at That Time" and "Never Over" looked at their idols pitifully, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
"Is it over? Is it really over?"
“There are actually three more songs, right?”
"It's really over." You Lingyu told everyone cruelly.
"Ah——" The whole audience let out a long tail tone and made a regretful sound.
"This is just the first of the prelude. There are three more concerts to come. Please stay tuned."
"I'm looking forward to it. What if I can't get a ticket?"
“That’s too much!”
Yi Jingchen heard everyone's complaints and promised, "I will ask the company to rent a large venue next time and try to accommodate all the audience who want to see us."
He adjusted his earphones, adjusted his breathing, and said seriously, "The theme this time is 'Zoo Overture.' According to the plan, there should be at least two more tours. I don't know the name of the middle one, but I think the last one might be called 'Zoo Finale.'"
When they heard the theme of "Zoo Finale", the audience who had been complaining just now suddenly became quiet, as if they were thinking back to today two years later.
By then, Aurora should have disbanded.
"I know everyone likes our group very much, and I've seen a lot of comments recently saying they don't want Aurora to disband. This will also affect my teammates during rehearsals."
"But..."
Yi Jingchen looked at his teammates and then at the audience.
"There's time to think about breaking up, why not enjoy the fact that we're still together?"
"It's like, life will eventually pass away, and we can't waste our youth just because we're anxious about dying."
"Um."
"You're right."
The little friend agreed softly.
"So, let Aurora be the most beautiful page in your life diary."
"Before turning this page, we will do our best to decorate this shared memory."
After Yi Jingchen finished speaking, he glanced around and still maintained his beautiful smile.
"So……"
Everyone received the signal and spoke together:
"Aurora's first concert has come to an end."
“Ahhh! No!”
"Chenchen! Xingxing! Naigan! Don't leave!"
"Is this the end? I thought it was just beginning."
“Happy times are so short.”
The audience couldn't accept the shock of "the end" and cried out in despair.
There was no reaction on the stage, and the audience, with no intention of leaving, began to shout, "Encore! Encore!"
Yi Jingchen, who had retreated backstage and was rushing to put on makeup, heard the deafening shouts and exclaimed, "Wow, it's even more impressive than military training!"
"Yi Jingchen, you didn't turn off the microphone!"
"Oh oh oh!" Yi Jingchen hurriedly turned off the microphone and heard bursts of laughter coming from outside.
They quickly took off their performance clothes and changed into short-sleeved shirts and shorts that looked like summer beachwear. Amid shouts of "Encore", they rushed onto the stage again.
When the audience saw the younger brother dressed so coolly, they screamed with excitement.
Streamers floated down from the stage and many people reached out to catch them.
In the colorful grand event, a meme appeared on the main screen, which appeared many times but still moved everyone:
"Can you tell me more about how you chose us from among more than a hundred children?"
"Can!"
"Because you are the most beautiful, mommy loves you!"
"I didn't choose you from over a hundred kids. Without you, I wouldn't even look at over a hundred kids!"
"I was going after the other kids, but you meowed at me."
"Who isn't? I was originally a fan of the others, but then the wall-climbing idiot Silver Gradient got in."
"It's because the kitten is too clingy."
The clingy little kitten smiled so much that its eyes narrowed into two crescents when it heard their complaints.
There was no choreography for the two songs in the encore. They ran around the stage, trying to cover every corner and say goodbye to all the people who came from afar.
Before leaving, Yi Jingchen reluctantly said, "We will rent a big stage, please come again next time."
"Come, definitely come!"
The younger brothers happily made their decision, "It's a deal."
“See you at the end of the month!”
"Whoever is absent is a puppy!"
The fans agreed at the door, but they felt extremely sad inside.
——There’s nothing we can do if we can’t get the tickets, woof woof woof.
The Aurora concert came to an end, and the nine brothers were so tired that they could barely breathe.
When I was limp and gasping for breath, I learned from Liu Sui that the concert was unprecedentedly popular, and the live video of "Breaking Dimension" released in the middle of the concert has been played more than 10 million times.
For idols, concert performances are definitely "real achievements", and the number of live-shot views can even be included in the battle report.
Although Aurora's previous performances were well received, the only two things that could be considered "real achievements" were the sales of her first album and her concerts.
Aurora delivered two high-scoring results in a row, and the investors who had been watching them could no longer sit still and began to seek cooperation opportunities.
Among them, Yi Jingchen is naturally the most outstanding.
His agent has a long-term vision. After his debut, he was not in a hurry to make money and turned down many low-quality business and announcements.
Party A saw that he was so careful about his reputation, so he stopped hesitating and boldly extended an olive branch.
On the third day after the concert, Yi Jingchen received a call from his agent.
The industry's largest electronic technology brand finally made up its mind to use Yi Jingchen as the spokesperson for its new mobile phone model and invited him to participate in the global launch of the new phone.
To put it bluntly, a mobile phone launch conference is for selling mobile phones, but it is different from ordinary live broadcasts selling products.
Especially for large-scale brand launch conferences, which represent the top technology in the electronics industry, you can imagine the attention they attract.
Yi Jingchen felt a little nervous when he heard the other party's request.
"I've never been to a press conference, or even a livestream selling products. I don't know what to do." Yi Jingchen's avoidant personality kicked in again, and he said fearfully, "Are you going to ask me to stand next to the big boss and yell '3, 2, 1, link up' to everyone?"
[This is the extent of my understanding of live streaming sales.]
[I can’t do this!]
"No, absolutely not!" the agent hurriedly stopped him. "Guess why they signed you? Because you look expensive and can hold your own! At the new phone launch, so many colleagues are watching. If you go up and yell 3, 2, 1 to get the link, the boss will be eager to sell you off on the link."
"Will it?" Yi Jingchen imagined himself being hung up on the link and said happily, "Then can I have it delivered to your home?"
"Yi Jingchen!" the agent yelled, warning sinisterly, "When you attend the press conference, you must pretend you're the world's most expensive show cat!"
