Chapter 97 Chorus
After a short break from watching the MV and discussing the album, the release date commemoration activities officially entered the second half.
During the intermission, the staff set up the musical instruments and equipment that would be used for the performances of "Miss" and "Distance".
The Wax&Wane team gathered on one side of the stage.
"It's the second half, keep going everyone!"
The five of them put their hands together, shouted "Come on" in unison, and quickly stepped onto the stage again.
Chen Xun stood in front of the microphone, his gentle breathing sound was perfectly picked up by the microphone. The next second, Jing Xing's fingertips pressed chords on the keyboard, and An Juesui sat behind the drum set, and the sounds of cymbals rang out at the same time in tacit understanding.
Ji Qifeng's electric guitar sound is strongly inserted into the music, and Jiang Hechu's bass also jumps away from the main melody, like a tangled ball of thin threads, and the sound of the piano is entangled in the air.
The instruments seem to be fighting with each other, vying to show their presence, but they still maintain harmony at important moments, and the various solo segments show their charm to the fullest. There should have been a sense of chaos, but at this moment on the stage it did not seem out of place at all.
Ji Qifeng and Jiang Hechu carried their musical instruments and walked to the two ends of the stage respectively. The two stood at the front, their nimble fingers plucking the strings at a dazzling speed, and the song suddenly moved at an extremely fast speed.
The others were not to be outdone. Shen Xun lowered his voice slightly, and together with the hearty instrumental music, brought the song to its climax at this moment. The shining lights reflected on the piano paint, and the audience in the audience couldn't contain their excitement and swayed to the music.
The lingering sound of the distorted electric guitar echoed in the venue. When the song ended, the entire venue was immersed in a frenzy of obsession with Wax&Wane, expressing this enthusiasm in the most essential way. Countless voices were transmitted from the audience to the stage.
"I love you all!!!"
“Awesome show!!”
“Love Wax&Wane so much!!”
Feeling the incomparable enthusiasm coming from the audience, the members on the stage showed extremely bright smiles. The boiling fire in their hearts kept jumping and was about to burst out of their chests. It took a long time for them to calm down.
The lights gradually went from dazzling to soft, the members smiled at each other, Jingxing walked to the piano in the center of the stage, and soon the gentle melody of "Distance" spread throughout the venue.
The members sat on high stools at the front of the stage, with soft light shining all over them. The piano played melodious tunes, and their moving singing was full of affection and a hint of sadness.
The emotions accumulated with the music until they almost overflowed. When the chorus began, the whole audience suddenly began to sing along in a low voice, with multiple voices lingering. A melody that touches people's hearts always makes people want to sing it unconsciously.
On the stage, after a brief surprise, the members showed happy expressions, tightly grasped the handheld microphones, and sang together with the chorus of everyone in the audience, completing this emotional, touching song that depicts family love.
After all four songs of the second single were performed, when the microphones were raised again, the eyes of several people on the stage were filled with emotion.
An Juesui was surprised and said, "Everyone can sing "Eye Line" so quickly! And the chorus part is very exciting."
Shen Xun smiled gently: "It just happened to be the part that was played during the trial. Maybe you learned it before?"
Jingxing looked down at the audience and asked curiously, "Dear audience, is it like what the captain said?"
Many people in the audience nodded in agreement.
“As soon as the audition came out, it started playing on loop like crazy!”
"This song is so warm, I can't help singing it after listening to it many times."
“The melody and lyrics are very touching.”
After receiving feedback from the audience, everyone started laughing and were happy that the song was loved by others. They began to talk about the story of the production of the song "Distance".
Jiang Hechu said, "The chorus of this song is wonderful, right? Some of you may have heard of the group that participated in the chorus recording. It is a student choir called the Xingye Chorus."
Some audience members who knew this name nodded.
"So it's them. I've known them before. They're a pretty good student choir."
"It makes the singing sound pure, and the effect is very appropriate."
Ji Qifeng took over the topic and smiled slightly: "Xingye Choir has a unique charm. I am very happy to cooperate with them. In this single, we found many possibilities of Wax&Wane. I wonder what everyone thinks?"
The people present were the first to hear the complete versions of the four songs in the second single "Eye Line". From their reactions, we can roughly observe how the market views this single. The members all hope that their work can be recognized, and they are somewhat nervous but full of expectations.
The reaction from the audience naturally lived up to the thought, and they showed all their enthusiasm to the few people, expressing their love for Wax&Wane's new work.
"Perfect!! Immortal product!!!"
"It will repeat a thousand times, no, ten thousand times!"
“A very thoughtful album, my best of the year!!”
Receiving the excited responses from the first group of listeners, the members were in an extremely good mood and couldn't help but smile.
An Juesui blinked, his voice full of laughter: "I heard someone say it was the best of the year."
Jingxing's eyes lit up: "Wow, thank you for being such a viewer."
"But it's only May..." Shen Xun smiled helplessly: "It's not even halfway through the year, isn't it too early?"
There was a loud response from the audience.
"Won't--"
“The Eyeline is the best!!”
Jiang Hechu raised his lips: "That's not certain, what if..."
Suddenly, Ji Qifeng started to suspense, and he became a little curious, so he asked, "What if?"
"What if Wax&Wane has new works?" Jiang Hechu was not modest at all and laughed after he said this.
The others couldn't help laughing. An Juesui joked, "He Chu, aren't you too anxious? The second order has just been released."
Jiang Hechu raised his voice, and seemed to be in a very good mood: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke."
Jingxing looked thoughtful and said frankly, "Our debut single was also released at the beginning of this year... If we put these two singles together, which one would you choose?"
This question successfully made the members feel conflicted, and there were wails from the audience.
"Yes, there are debut singles this year, and the quality is quite high."
"Wax&Wane is very productive. Alas, this problem is really a happy trouble."
“This is too difficult! I love every song so much!!”
An Juesui looked at everyone with anticipation: "If you were to ask everyone to pick their favorite song from all the songs they've sung since their debut, what would it be? Please explain why."
"Hmm..." Jing Xing, who first asked the question, was confused and asked weakly, "Do I have to choose one?"
An Juesui couldn't help laughing: "Didn't you say it first, Jingxing? Can't you choose?"
"If I have to say something..." Jing Xing closed his eyes and said, "Daytime!"
"What's the reason?" An Juesui asked. In fact, he could probably guess the reason. Jingxing had been playing in a rock band for a long time, and he was also very fond of jazz piano. In terms of music style, the rock song "Daytime" that combines jazz style should be the most to his liking.
However, the reason given by Jingxing made everyone drop their jaws.
"Because 'Daytime' sounds very sleep-inducing..." Jingxing said this with a serious face, which made everyone choke.
"Ah? Very good sleep?" An Juesui was stunned and repeated his answer. The three people next to him were laughing.
Jingxing looked a little bewildered: "Isn't it? The lyrics are talking about the eternal night coming, and it feels so good to sleep..."
Ji Qifeng racked his brains to help him make up for it: "You mean the song sounds good to help you sleep."
Jing Xing hesitated: "Uh..." He didn't mean that at all...
Rock and roll, sleep aid, Jiang Hechu thought of these keywords and laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking. He finally managed to hold back his laughter and turned to the audience and said, "Now it can be proved that Jingxing is really mixed-blood, right?"
An Juesui understood Jiang Hechu's thoughts, shook his head, and joked: "Jingxing, asking you this question is my question, I will compensate you with a Chinese dictionary..."
Jingxing was still confused. He pushed aside his bangs and looked curious: "The lyrics..."
Chen Xun felt the need to explain, and smiled helplessly: "The setting of the song "Daytime" is that when night and day no longer distinguish you and me, night becomes day, and all absurd and unreasonable behaviors will be moved into the reality of daytime..."
"So even though it's called "Daytime," the content is all about darkness?" Jing Xing felt that he had realized something: "Wouldn't that make it easier to sleep? Sleeping should be in darkness, right?"
Shen Xun suddenly fell into confusion for a second. Why did he feel that this understanding seemed to be correct?
Finally, with Jingxing's unremitting efforts, he successfully brought everyone into the pit, and everyone's impression of this song turned into two words: "sleep aid".
The audience watched the members' nonsensical discussion about the song titles, complaining and laughing until tears were about to come out. They are idols, so why do they have to be so full of memes, acting silly and cute?
After a while, the members stopped dwelling on it and threw out a lot of funny jokes, which caused laughter from the audience from time to time, and the atmosphere in the venue was very cheerful.
Before the end of the last activity, the members looked down at the audience and saw that every audience member had a relaxed smile on their face. They felt that all their silly comments had become meaningful. Isn't the idol's job to bring happiness to the audience?
An Jue Sui looked straight ahead: "Thank you very much for coming to the scene today or watching the live broadcast to participate in the release date commemoration of Wax&Wane's second single "Eye Line". I hope that the audience will like today's performance and support our new single "Eye Line"!"
At the end of the event, the five members held hands and walked to the front of the stage to express their gratitude to the audience. Until the last second on the stage, I was still waving, thanking everyone for their great enthusiasm and support today.
Backstage, everyone's eyes were shining, still immersed in the atmosphere just now, showing their brightest smiles to the camera.
After the photographer finished shooting this footage, An Juesui suddenly felt as if all his strength had been drained away for some reason, and he fell onto the sofa next to him.
