Chapter 453
In the audience, Li Mo rested his chin on his hand as he watched NINE STAR perform on stage. Amidst his excitement, he gritted his teeth and said to Zhu Jian, who was already listening intently, "Honestly, it's better not to release this album now!"
The first stage was also the last, which was hell for their fans. It was so magical that even the punctuation of the performance couldn't be edited out. There was only one stage to cut, and the fans were completely hooked.
It's no wonder Li Mo is so upset. The quality of this disbandment album, "Don't Say Goodbye," is truly exceptional! Looking back at disbanded groups, both domestic and international, how many members are allowed to perform their group songs in public? The copyrights are firmly held by their agencies!
Thinking that every second he watched this performance was a second less, Li Mo, after complaining to his friends, immediately went into full-throated support mode. After the group album "Don't Say Goodbye" came out, he felt like he was missing out if he didn't watch it ten times a day online.
On the stage, the members had already performed five new songs in a row. After the last harmony ended, they all stood on the elevator in the center as the lights suddenly dimmed and slowly sank to the cheers of the audience.
The four large screens above the stage were pitch black, but if one looked closely, one could see countless stars hidden within. As the melody of "Don't Say Goodbye," the title song from the disbandment album, began to play, a line of torn white text reappeared on the screens.
"What kind of man is he—"
The camera follows the footsteps ahead, finally stopping in an empty hall. The protagonist in the video, somewhat unfamiliarly, finds a water dispenser, pours himself a glass of hot water, and then sinks into the soft sofa.
Zhou Xiao frowned in thought. She recognized Wu Yanyan on the big screen, of course. But the background of this place… at first, she only felt vaguely familiar. Later, as more shots of the villa's interior began to appear, she guessed where it was.
When Zhou Xiao and Qi Sisi first recognized the villa as a Huashang Times property, they worried it might be exposed. Their concern proved both correct and unnecessary.
Due to the busy reality, the villa basically became a decoration in the middle and later stages. Even when returning to Shanghai, for the next day's filming, the members chose the hotel closest to the filming location.
So even if this address has been circulated among the fan community, since no one lives there, it doesn't mean much to the fans. After all, given Huayao's stinginess, if the lease is renewed, it will most likely be used as a staff dormitory or sublet.
"Ji Shao?" Wu Yanyan sat up straight on the sofa, looking at the camera with an extremely focused look. "Although he is younger than me, he often takes care of me in many situations..."
After Wu Yanyan, the other members commented on Ji Shao. When the last member finished, the large screen began to dim, until countless fireworks erupted from the edge of the stage! In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene shifted 180 degrees!
The spotlight suddenly flickered on, landing crisply on Ji Shao, who was dressed in black, on the center stage. His black silk shirt shone with light, and the few white shell buttons on top looked as if they had been forgotten, revealing a large expanse of honey-colored skin.
Behind him stood a group of nimble dancers, resembling black panthers. On stage, their movements were agile and powerful, perfectly coordinating with Ji Shao. Surrounded by the intense rhythm and drum beats, Ji Shao looked mysterious and dangerous.
With the bizarre stage setting, the fans at the scene were completely speechless. They could only scream wildly and waved the "Shao" light signs they had prepared in advance.
On stage, Ji Shao's gaze was resolute, and behind each complex movement seemed to lie boundless explosive power. During his solo performance, beads of sweat could be seen on the large screen facing him. His devotion and passion were fully revealed in this moment.
The passion of summer carnival was reignited at this moment. But this is far from enough!
At the climax of the performance, as the drumbeat intensified, Ji Shao, caught on camera, suddenly curled his lips into a smile. Then, casually reaching into the air, a vibrant, vibrant red rose suddenly appeared before the audience's eyes.
It was at this moment that someone shifted their gaze to Ji Shao's hands. Encased in black leather half-gloves, the red of the roses, the green of the leaves and branches, shone brightly on the big screen, creating another iconic moment of the night.
The dazzling lights, tacit coordination, and superb dancing skills were both exciting and regretful for the audience and the fans in front of the camera. Of course, what occupied most of their minds was Ji Shao's wonderful performance on the stage!
“Ah ...” “Brother Shao!!!” “Ji Shao!” “Brother, look at my camera!!!” “…”
The response was even better than expected. Amidst the cheers, marketing accounts were already editing content. Ji Shao's performance tonight was a stark slap in the face to those who discriminate against showrunners!
Who says show people can't balance stage and acting? Tonight, Ji Shao on the stage, relying on his absolute strength, tells everyone that they can!

[Topic] Brother Shao’s solo, my goodness, is this really something a human can do?
[Main Post] I'm not very good at speaking, but I was really impressed by Brother Shao's professional skills this time! Didn't they say that Brother Shao was still filming before the concert? That's awesome!

With this spirit, I can succeed in anything! This performance was such a surprise! I just watched the stage cut posted by the marketing account and watched it over and over again. With such a short practice time, he was able to present such a wonderful performance to the audience. He is worthy of being the originator of domestic talent shows and the number one on "Star Path 101"!

Can the domestic entertainment industry learn from Ji Shao? He left the stage to act, not only did he win two awards, he also didn't forget his roots.

Ji Shao really used his ultimate move this time, he worked so hard... Thinking back to when he said before that he would not give up the stage, it turned out that he really meant it, and it was not just a casual thought to please his fans...

By the way, after NINE STAR ends, can Brother Ji perform on more stages? [Poor] Just at those kinds of evening shows, please do more! Anyway, now that evening shows are both recorded and live, I don’t mind switching channels to watch his performances!

Oh my god, there are so many people at Tiaosi this time! When the live camera swept across the audience, half of it was a sea of purple!!! This is the Jinling Olympic Sports Center! This is so spectacular!

Reply to 203L: I’m just a casual fan, and I was very happy when watching the live broadcast [thumbs up]

Inside the stadium, the front stage shone with a brilliant sea of purple lights. Because the area was large enough, Cheese, who was in charge of the line, discussed with the other members and decided not to just use light signs to spell out the words.
The "JS" in the center, surrounded by pixelated neem flowers, was a small surprise given to Ji Shao by all the Tiaosi fans. After Ji Shao's stage performance, he was presented with such a grand sea of lights.
Ji Shao, who was about to leave the stage, was slightly stunned when he saw the scene below the stage. Then, the man who was quite handsome and cool in the last second turned into the sweetest little sweetheart of the night in the next second.
Huayao's director was very considerate. After making a complete circle of the light boards in the audience seats, he put Ji Shao's big head on the screen. At that moment, some people were so cute that they screamed.
Zhou Xiao, who was filming with her camera, was also touched by the sweetness of the moment. Almost without hesitation, she joined her friends in shouting Ji Shao's name. For some reason, she felt a sense of urgency: if she didn't shout now, she would never have the chance again.
After Ji Shao's performance, the other members' solos began. Given a large enough base, each member performed in front of their own group ticket area.
Everyone on this stage tonight gave their all, as if they didn't want to leave any regrets on stage. Their performances far exceeded the audience's expectations.
When Lin Nan, standing in the center of the stage and bowing to the audience for a long time at a 90-degree angle, was pulled off the stage by Xu Zhou, who was rubbing his head. Looking at the empty stage, almost everyone had a premonition.
After more than three hours of performance, it seemed like it was finally coming to an end. After an unknown amount of time, the spotlights came back on and the members took the stage wearing the embroidered suits they had worn when they first appeared.
Time seemed to have returned to the very beginning. Even Zhou Xiao was momentarily dazed. Was he traveling through time? Or was he just dazzled?
But the existence of such a small design makes people suddenly hope that time is really going backwards. Then the members on the stage told them that tonight's performance officially began.
——"Don't Say Goodbye"
Without any prelude, the melody of the title song of the disbandment album of the same name has already sounded. When the album was released, without any stage performance, this song was already regarded by many industry professionals as perhaps NINE STAR's best song.
The lyrics and music were co-written by nine members. On this summer night, NINE STAR will present this final stage for everyone.
