Chapter 145 Concert (Part Two)...
The organizers were very thoughtful; any seats with poles or objects blocking the view were not sold, and Yin Zhu silently applauded this action.
Some celebrities, in order to make money, sell tickets for areas that slightly obstruct the view as regular tickets, which has caused me great harm and resulted in a terrible experience.
Upon arriving at our seats, we found a hand warmer bag for each seat, containing not only some essential items but also a light stick with an exquisitely designed leaf shape.
The lights come in three colors: light green, blue-green, and flashing green. They are quite heavy and come with an instruction manual. They will connect to the central control unit once the stage is set up.
Yin Zhu couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes. The workmanship and quality were on par with the official light sticks that other groups normally release. VIER actually gave them away at the concert?
Fans nearby excitedly took photos to commemorate the occasion, while those who couldn't attend in person watched the live photos sent back from the scene, shouting enviously and immediately picking up their phones to prepare for the next ticket rush.
The experience before the concert officially started was so wonderful that he felt time flew by, and it was almost time to start.
The lights dimmed rhythmically, the background drumbeats grew louder, and the lights went out at the perfect moment, plunging the entire venue into darkness.
The audience's excited voices and expectant gazes were focused on the big screen.
But the first thing to light up wasn't the big screen, but the edge of the stage.
The stage suddenly lit up without warning, and the edge lights took the team several tests to achieve the desired effect.
Surrounded by the firefly green of an elf forest, from Yin Zhu's perspective, it resembles a real tree of life.
Then the big screen came to life, displaying black and white silhouettes of people, with six gentlemen in tuxedos looking in the side, their faces obscured, while the background music consisted of each of them reciting a line from the album.
The six actors possess outstanding vocal qualities and remarkable acting skills. Combined with excellent sound effects in the vast stadium, the performance was as detailed and cinematic as a movie.
Their silhouettes intertwine, making it easy to identify each person, but then the camera cuts to the next person's face, effectively whetting the audience's appetite.
The background music started playing subtly, and everyone recognized the song as the intro to "The Only One"!
However, there are some differences; the arrangement seems to have been modified, becoming more grand and faster-paced.
The six voices began to chant, and it felt like the calm before the storm, something was brewing. The audience's eyes darted around, trying to find a clue.
Just as the rhythm of "The Only One" was clearly about to reach the chorus, a sudden, abrupt mechanical sound rang out.
It's not the emotionless electronic sound people often hear; instead, it's a unique sound that you've never heard before, but you can immediately tell it's like an alien's voice, with a magnetic quality and a strange sense of overlap.
"Welcome to One Tree's Galaxy Concert".
“It’s VIER.”
The instant that syllable fell, a six-person chorus, as swift and powerful as a sudden storm, resounded throughout the concert, while six beams of light shone in different directions.
Six princes dressed in suits stood at the six entrances to the inner venue, and the big screen then gave a clear close-up of each of them.
These six seats are not only close to the audience in the inner field, but also allow the audience in the stands to easily spot the closest members.
All the audience members screamed wildly; they had actually appeared right next to them!
The next second, even more shockingly, they sang as they climbed onto the escalator-like equipment next to them, and actually rose into the air in the venue, gathering in the center of the stage.
The escalator is also decorated in the shape of leaves. As it moves, the lights follow the leaves, and specially made simulated green leaves are sprinkled from all directions to the beautiful and passionate music of "The Only One".
The moment the fans reached out to catch the leaves, all the support lights that were previously controlled by the central console lit up, emitting a beautiful pale green glow.
The moment all the support lights suddenly lit up, the music reached another climax, and the Tree of Life inside the venue shone with its most moving brilliance.
The stunning visuals made fans sing along, scream, and wave their light sticks.
The dazzling array of stage setups made Yin Zhu take a deep breath. He had no time to think. As a professional review blogger, he forced himself to look away for a few seconds.
Is this really just the beginning?
VIER fans are eating so well!
Most importantly, it sounds great and looks great.
The harmonious singing of the six people as they appeared at the entrance was the most perfect opening he had ever heard.
It was authentic, beautiful, and had a unique live improvisational quality. It was a genuine live performance, and the moment he was suspended in the air was even more challenging. If it weren't for the slight tremor he could hear when he landed on the stage, he would have almost doubted whether it was a live performance.
But his ears, honed through countless concerts, were 100% certain that it was live singing. He was just a little surprised by VIER's improved skills compared to the finale of "Team Up".
My favorability towards you has increased another level.
In the past, when he conducted evaluations, he would watch concerts while recording his real-time impressions of the equipment.
It's too late now. After "The Only One" ended, there was no time to record the next song, which was also one of his favorites.
He went back and recorded the voice-over; he was completely immersed in the concert.
Meng Fanxi stood in the position directly facing the stage from the six entrances.
When the lights shone on him, he found it hard to describe the feeling. He could feel countless eyes focused on him, and he could also see other lights converging. His teammates were also feeling the same excitement.
These gazes were friendly, warm, and powerful, making one's blood boil. When he soared into the air and met the eyes of his teammates, he could see the firm confidence in each other's gazes.
This is their stage, where they and their fans flock together.
The enthusiastic atmosphere at the beginning continued to rise, and the next song was one that fans were very familiar with.
It seamlessly connects with "The Only One," with the stage and light sticks shining brightly together, tinged with a fiery red hue.
———《wings》
Screams surged onto the stage like a heatwave. Meng Fanxi's performance was one of the most unforgettable moments for fans. Countless fans of the show have discussed privately more than once what it would be like if the Eternal Six Stars were to perform it. This topic has even become one of the most popular topics on the "Team-Based Camp" forum.
It's actually going to happen today!
Wei Ye, arms crossed, watched the reaction from backstage with Li Yingqiu and the others, quite pleased with themselves.
Before the concert, many people questioned that VIER has only released one album so far, and even if the second album is revealed at the concert, the number of tracks may not be enough to support the length of the entire concert.
Wei smiled and said, "If we don't have enough songs, we still have some leftovers from previous variety shows."
For this concert, they specifically purchased the copyrights to several songs from Star TV, especially a few that were highly requested by fans.
Take "Wings" as an example. After the show ended, there was no more opportunity to perform. It was almost impossible to get the original cast together, and the style of the song was very suitable for VIER.
Therefore, they designed the first part of the concert, "Memory Chapter," which started with "The Only One," ended with "Meteor," and was connected by "Wings" and "Swimming Fish." This part included their debut album and took fans back to that summer to relive the emotions.
The opening alone dazzled fans and quickly drew them into the concert, while the concise selection of songs avoided any suspicion of over-relying on nostalgia.
As the camera panned across the scene, tears welled in the eyes of the fans, who were already recalling those wonderful times.
In particular, the performance of "wings" was more harmonious than the original group. The six members of VIER did not deliberately imitate the previous performance, but instead incorporated their own unique characteristics into the performance, which was dark, eerie, and confident.
Many of the people at the scene were fans who became fans through "The Group," and they felt that seeing this version in person was worth the ticket price.
It's like you already knew the original performance was a god-level stage, but you never expected to see an even more god-level stage on-site.
A large group of fans who couldn't buy tickets gathered outside the concert venue to listen to the leaked audio.
They sat together, feeling the warmth emanating from the venue.
There are also many passersby who live nearby and come to the area to experience the atmosphere whenever there is a concert.
The passersby sensed something was wrong.
"Why does the atmosphere in the venue feel so lively? Usually, this kind of atmosphere is only at the end."
"Yeah, the stage and the fans' volume are incredible. I've never seen such a huge scene after just a few songs..."
At this point, the fans outside the venue also became restless.
"Listen, this is 'Wings'."
Someone covered their mouth in disbelief: "No! I'm going to cry! I really want to see it live!"
...
After the first four songs ended, the venue lights softened.
The six of them stood in line and formally greeted everyone.
Lin Ruohe: "Hello everyone, we are—"
The entire audience and the six people chanted in unison: "VIER!"
They started by singing four hit songs, and before the fans could recover from their previous excitement, the six of them were already calmly conversing on stage.
They had practiced this beforehand, not by memorizing lines, but by adapting to the real-time situation and avoiding unnecessary dialogue or padding the time, so that fans could enjoy their interactions and not feel bored.
In just five short minutes, there was no wasted words; everyone naturally responded to and delivered jokes, and the pacing was excellent.
Meng Fanxi naturally ended the conversation and then introduced the next song for her debut album.
"The concert has just begun, please take your seats—"
"Exclusive seats".
The close-up on the big screen focused on Meng Fanxi. His gaze naturally and firmly transitioned from a gentle smile to a penetrating and focused look when he mentioned the song "Exclusive Seat." In an instant, all the fans seemed to be immersed in it.
This is a dynamic dance song. The beautiful melody and the extremely infectious atmosphere on the scene made almost everyone stand up and dance to the music.
The performance of VIER's hit songs, along with the first-ever rendition of some songs from their new album, kept the fans' emotions on the rise and fall throughout the event, interspersed with mini-dramas carefully prepared by the six members of VIER.
The six of them ran around the entire venue full of energy, interacting with everyone in every corner. Despite being drenched in sweat, they left their fans with an unstoppable enthusiasm.
As the concert drew to a close, "A Tree's Galaxy" was sung, and the fans who had sung along throughout the entire concert watched as their six idols, still devout but with much hoarse voices, sang along with tears in their eyes.
The chorus of ten thousand people went from passionate to touching. From Meng Fanxi's perspective, a sea of light shone and swayed with the singing. His eyes were a little sore, and all six of them were losing control of their emotions.
They spontaneously stood together, their arms around each other's backs. They took off their in-ear monitors and listened to the moving chorus coming from all sides of the stadium, and time seemed to slow down.
A firm heartbeat resonated in my chest, and the passionate chorus in my ears intertwined with the most beautiful ocean before my eyes, composing a perfect chapter.
Meng Fanxi thought he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight; he would never forget this scene.
