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 to the outside world and can handle all big 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 just aimless and free-flowing speech. The company has set the time and theme in advance.
The theme of the opening talk was, of course, the expectations and feelings about the first concert.
Each brother was very passionate about speaking, chattering out his or her current thoughts.
"Friends in the mountains, how are you?"
Du Xingwei drew stars under her eyes with glitter and looked up to wave to the stands, looking so beautiful.
"Before the show started, everyone kept saying the venue was small. I thought it was that small, but during the rehearsal I realized how huge it was!"
Tian Xitu next to him took over and said, "When I participated in performances before, the theater could only accommodate a few hundred spectators at most. This is the biggest stage I have 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 fulfilled the promise you made me make!"
"Brother Lang." Luchu pulled his clothes and reminded him quietly, "The first game will not be broadcast 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 with a delay through live footage taken by fans or official fixed-angle replays of the entire concert.
Online audience: Our lives are also lives...
"In my life plan, holding a concert is not an option at all."
Li Jibai dyed his hair golden with a high saturation, which made him look like an idol, and he was totally different from the science and engineering boy who just appeared in "Super Idol".
"But I did it." He clenched his fists, as serious as ever, "Fighting 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 that it's great to be able to debut!"
"Yes." Yan Zhichen echoed the sentiment and said to everyone with a smile, "I never thought that I would have such great 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 to attend our first concert."
After a few seconds of pausing, he continued, "I want to thank you for creating us and allowing the nine of us to stand on this stage as a group."
"So, please enjoy the gift we give you back~"
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.
"Aaaah! Stupid Xiaochen is so good at talking."
"He didn't say 'give it to us', but 'give it back'. 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 be able to form a group.
When the group was first formed, there were all kinds of doubts surrounding them.
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, as 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 listened to 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 increase the difficulty for him. 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 leading dancer position in the group."
Concerts are different from other stages in that the performer must face the audience directly, which is equivalent to giving an answer sheet 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 submitting a satisfactory answer.
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 the fans were extremely tolerant and actively paid for the concert without raising any objections.
The younger brothers, however, were not willing to be perfunctory and tried their best to cook up new ideas for every old dish.
Especially Aurora's "The 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 price of the ticket was still to come.
In addition to the tracks from the first album, the tracks 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 to be performed was played, at least half of the people at the scene could not sit still and were about to jump up with excitement.
The song title appears on the main screen, and the three big words seem to have magic power:
"Broken Dimension"
Original singer/Cat
“What the hell! What the hell!!!!”
"You chose 'Breaking Dimension'? My dimensional wall is going to be broken?"
"Burn, Chuunibyou Soul!"
"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 many 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 none other than——
Opening the comment section of "Breaking Dimension", in reverse chronological order, it was the cat fans who were scolding 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 have the nerve to mention this as a cat chef?
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.
When everyone imagines that scene, they just feel restless all over.
The stage lights were all on, and he turned around, threw off his white cloak, and scanned the audience.
"Are you ready?"
“yes!”
"We're 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 was ready to break through the dimension.
"Follow me into the grand fantasy land."
"Those secret delusions 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 very adaptable to live situations and were socially anxious, 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 have never been exposed to the ACG world and even have some prejudices against otaku were also infected at this moment and shouted in unison, "Yes, you ACG people 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 singing.
There was no live broadcast of the concert, so the online audience could only frantically refresh the webpage and beg the fans who were in attendance to have some pity on the babies left behind.
Not long after the show started, I saw that they were singing "Broken Dimension" on the spot. The poor guy who didn't get a ticket was so anxious that he begged 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 cat.
Home-raised 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 at the scene.
She posted a straight shot without blurring out any of her teammates, nor did she focus the camera only 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 positioning that the stupid little minister has worked hard to rehearse.
Looking at the comment section, no one is finding fault with it.
Fans of each show are expressing their love for the rich sister, praising her for being beautiful and 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 second ceiling boy group#
#Is Yi Jingchen a magician?
…
Just open any trending search, and you will find that the discussion 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 has a big vision]
[Inside Aurora, people don’t blur each other’s faces~ But the rich sister is really generous, beautiful lady, please post it]
[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 another variety show trying to gain popularity, so I advised myself to be patient, after all, the exhibition depends on copyright fees to survive. Later, when I saw the term "three-dimensional cat", I couldn't help but curse a few times... Private Marseille Wadaxi didn't mean it]
[Luckily, I didn’t follow the trend and criticize, 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 that my cat was very hardworking and cute, but it was all ruined by my two teammates]
[Luckily, Aurora’s concert reproduced “Broken Dimension”, and I am happy]
[I'm a little greedy, I still hope to see the cat palace version]
[Sisters above! Send a private message to the organizer of the ACG exhibition! Bombard him with short essays! My cat will definitely participate in the exhibition next year, let him arrange the performance]
[Let’s go, let’s form a group to bomb. If I can’t see the Cat Palace version, I will cry for him!!!]
At the concert, Aurora, who had no idea that she was on a stage alone and had caused thousands of people to write blood letters to her, was having a halftime talk.
There are 18 songs in total in Zoo Overture, and two encores, 15 of which are singing and dancing tracks, 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 will be 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 one wash."
"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 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~"
"Break the Dimension!"
"Yes, yes, I like "Broken Dimension" the most!"
“The other songs are also very nice, but ‘Broken Dimension’ is pleasantly surprising and unexpected.”
"As expected, everyone likes 'Broken Dimension'." Yan Zhichen said with a smile, "Actually, this song was requested by Li Jibai, but the team leader disagreed at first."
Tian Xitu: "We, the minority, obey the majority, and 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 my first performance."
[Although "Broken Dimension" was written according to my voice's comfort zone...]
[I feel nervous every time I sing.]
[Maybe it’s because I wasn’t wearing a cosplay costume, I felt like I was running naked when I was singing.]
[Try a different vest next time.]
Hearing Yi Jingchen's beep, everyone became even more excited.
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 got quieter.
"Well... because our group doesn't have enough works, so this concert, many of the songs we sang before. If there is a next concert, Aurora's own works will definitely account for more than half of the performance. Thank you for your tolerance towards us."
Even though the audience and fans had never complained, Luchu, 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 are already amazing!" Yi Jingchen sensed Lujiu's emotions and did not say anything like 'It's okay' or 'Keep up the good work'. Instead, he praised her, saying, "We have seven songs of our own. Seven! We have only been in the industry for less than seven months!"
Du Xingwei also smiled and said, "Yes. We have seven songs in just three months. By the time of the anniversary concert, we will definitely have a lot of songs."
"Are there seven songs?" Mu Gan, who is extremely insensitive, asked in confusion, "There are only five songs in 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 original anxiety eased a little, and he looked at his friends with a smile, "Yuyu just said that it's great to be able to debut, and I think so too. I was alone before, but now if anything happens, you 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 cue Yuyu, the bird and the 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 halftime talk ended and the second half of the concert began.
From the time the concert was launched to 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 came to an end, everyone was horrified to find that:
Aurora can sing so many songs!
Every song played in the concert brought back many memories, making everyone exclaim "My youth is back".
——Although youth did not last long.
As the concert drew to a close, the audience realized:
"Wait, this is the last song?"
"What about "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 during the third public performance was not on the playlist.
Is it during the encore session?
Soon, everyone denied this possibility.
'Encore' refers to the song that the performers return to the stage to sing after the concert ends and the audience shouts 'encore', which is like an Easter egg after the concert ends.
For idol encore songs, I will choose the songs that bring back the most memories and are the most meaningful.
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, making a regretful sound.
"This is just the first of the overtures. There will be 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 let in as many audiences who want to see us as possible."
He adjusted his earphones, adjusted his breath, 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 hearing 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 that everyone likes our group very much, and I have seen many people recently saying that they don't want Aurora to disband. My teammates will also be affected during rehearsals."
"But..."
Yi Jingchen looked at his teammates and then at the audience.
"There's time to think about disbanding, 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 are anxious about death."
"Um."
"You are right."
The 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 looked 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."
"The happy time is so short."
The audience couldn't accept the shock of "the end" and shouted a few times in despair.
There was no reaction on the stage, and the audience, with no intention of leaving, began to shout, "Encore! Encore!"
Yi Jingchen retreated to the backstage and hurried to put on makeup. Hearing the deafening shouts, he 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, and rushed onto the stage again amid shouts of "Encore".
When the audience saw the younger brother dressed so coolly, they screamed with excitement.
Streamers floated down from the sky above the stage and many people reached out to catch them.
In the colorful grand event, a joke appeared on the main screen many times, but it 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 more than a hundred children. Without you, I wouldn't even look at more than a hundred children!"
"I was going after the other kids, but you meowed at me."
"Who isn't? I was originally a fan of the others, but I ended up being a fan of that wall-climbing idiot Silver Gradient."
"It's because the kitten is too clingy."
The clingy little kitten smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into two crescents when he 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 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.
Aurora's concert came to an end, and the nine brothers were so tired that they could only breathe in but not out.
When I was limp and gasping for breath, I learned from Liu Sui that the concert was unprecedentedly popular, and the live-action version of "Breaking Dimension" released in the middle of the concert had been played over 10 million times.
For idols, concert performance is a real achievement, and the number of live-action views can even be included in the battle report.
Although the performances Aurora participated in previously were well received, the only two "real achievements" she had were the sales of her first album and her concerts.
Aurora delivered two high-scoring answers in a row, and the investors who had been waiting on the sidelines could no longer sit still and began to seek opportunities for cooperation.
Among them, Yi Jingchen is naturally the most outstanding.
His agent has a long-term vision and was not in a hurry to make money after his debut, so he turned down many low-quality business deals and announcements.
Party A found out that he was so careful about his reputation and 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 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 live streaming event, so I don't know what to do." Yi Jingchen's avoidant personality kicked in again, and he said fearfully, "Are you asking 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, don't!" the agent hurriedly stopped him. "Guess why they signed you? Because you look expensive and can hold your own! There will be so many colleagues watching at the new phone launch, and if you go up and shout 3, 2, 1 to link, the boss will want to sell you off by hanging you up 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 that you are the most expensive show cat in the world!"
