The fans were absolutely in stitches. At first, the members' expressions were fairly serious, but after the sweet dance ended, even though they tried their best to return to their original state, the fans could still see that they were being irreverent.
But the song "Falling in Love with You" is indeed a good song. The live performance by "Wings" is no different from the CD version. Coupled with the members' cheerful laughter and quirky dances, it really feels like returning to the age of 17.
"The scene at the Wings Group!!"
"It's sooooo good! I love 'Falling in Love with You'! My Wings Band is the best!"
"Aaaaaah!"
The second song that "Wings" will perform tonight is "Future".
Compared to the lively "Falling in Love with You", "Future" is much more serious. On the big screen at the Snow Mountain TV station, Fang Yu's name was written as the lyricist and composer of "Future".
To some extent, this is also why fans like "Wings" even more. All the songs on "Wings" albums are written by themselves, and therefore, when they perform the songs, fans can clearly hear the sincerity in their voices.
The song "Future" is about Wings' journey, from their debut to the twists and turns they have encountered. Although Wings have not experienced too many setbacks, the group did almost face disbandment.
When they sang the line "You'll be there in the future," the members who were originally standing around the stage suddenly gathered in the center, sat down with their hands in hand, and sang slowly, line by line.
"I hope the Wings Group stays this way!"
"Xie Mingxuan, Lu Weifang, Yu Ji Yan, may you continue to live a good life in the Wings Group!"
"That's great!"
"I couldn't help but cry. Back then, many people hoped that Wings would disband, but I couldn't bear to part with them. I really, really like them. Sigh, they've finally made it through."
The song "Future" doesn't have many technical skills, but every member sings with their most sincere voice. They would never show a fake side to their teammates, nor is it necessary. Even if they separate for various reasons one day, they still hope that they will be authentic at that time.
...
"Snow Mountain TV has gone crazy!"
At the start of this year's New Year's Eve concerts, various TV stations fielded their own strong lineups, but in terms of viewership, attention, and buzz, Snow Mountain TV was far ahead.
On Weibo's trending topics list, the tags "Prince Wing" and "Wing and You in Love" generated a lot of discussion, and the video of "Wing" performing attracted tens of thousands of reposts and likes.
"It sounds great!"
"Wings' singing skills have gotten even better!"
The band "Wings" already had a strong momentum this year. Their album "At 23" accumulated enough reputation and attention for the members. The only regret for fans was that there were too few live performances of "At 23". However, they were very satisfied with this New Year's Eve concert and felt that they hadn't heard enough.
...
After singing the two songs, the group high-fived each other: "Yay!"
We're awesome!
The members never thought about stunning the audience with their singing skills, but at the very least, they wanted to show their best side on stage and sing for their fans.
"Keep it up!" Fang Yu was about to take out his clothes when he suddenly remembered that the candy he bought was in his clothes, so the group went back to the lounge to change.
"Finally, I can wear a down jacket again."
They knew their outfits looked great today, but they weren't used to such formal attire and preferred their usual looser clothes.
Ji Yan tasted the milk candy; it was very sweet.
"Should we stay and wait for you?" Fang Yu asked. "Anyway, it'll be over soon after we play some games."
"Go back," Ji Yan patted him on the shoulder. "I'll be fine."
Even though Fang Yu was the youngest member of "Wings," Ji Yan knew very well that he had always been taken care of by him—although they often fought, and were then held back by Xie Mingxuan and Lu Wei.
"Shall we have hot pot together after this?" Fang Yu asked quietly.
Xie Mingxuan and Lu Wei gave each other an OK sign, and Ji Yan also nodded in agreement with his eyes.
"yeah!"
The group's performance has ended, and only Ji Yan and Ning Wei's duet is left. When the gala just started, Ji Yan and Ning Wei bumped into each other backstage, but because "Wings" was scheduled to perform first, Ji Yan didn't say much to her before going to rehearse.
Ning Wei was waiting in his lounge when Ji Yan knocked on the door: "Teacher Ning."
"Ning Wei." Ning Wei emphasized again.
"Brother Ning."
This time, Ning Wei didn't argue. That's how it's always been in the entertainment industry. If he asked Ji Yan to call him by his name, Ji Yan would probably feel uncomfortable.
Ji Yan took out some candy and placed it on the table. Their group had developed the habit of bringing candy when practicing or performing. Everyone brought a little, and when they were piled up, it was quite a lot.
"Want some candy?" Ji Yan asked.
Ning Wei nodded gently.
There was only one sofa in the lounge. Ning Wei occupied one corner of the sofa, while Ji Yan sat on the other side. Ning Wei didn't say anything, and he didn't try to start a conversation. The TV in the lounge was showing the live broadcast of the concert, and Ji Yan watched it silently.
Ning Wei was reading a book.
Unlike the person I saw on the day of rehearsal, this time they were wearing glasses, very simple black-rimmed glasses, which had nothing to do with the word "fashion".
Ning Wei is very quiet when she reads, her gaze is focused, and her pen tip writes and draws on the contents of the book. She only makes a little noise when she turns the pages.
Ji Yan turned the TV volume down a bit.
“It’s okay, it won’t affect me,” Ning Wei said, turning the book back to the cover page. “I’ll lend it to you after I’ve finished reading it.”
Ji Yan: "..."
He didn't actually intend to borrow the book, but he nodded anyway.
Every minute Ji Yan spent with Ning Wei made him realize more and more that she was a very, very good person, just someone who didn't like to talk.
"Brother Ning, thank you for that day."
"What?" Ning Wei looked at Ji Yan through her glasses.
When those dark eyes stared directly at him, Ji Yan could clearly see the calmness and seriousness within them.
"You helped me and even gave me the album 'Grey Keys'."
"You said you hated them, right?" Ning Wei said softly. "Then I did the right thing."
Ning Wei's expression and tone were very natural, as if his helping him was just a trivial matter. But Ji Yan inexplicably thought of the night he was so impressed by Ning Wei at the concert.
His feeling at that moment was—
That's good, he didn't fall for the wrong person.
"Want to practice again? I brought my guitar," Ning Wei asked him.
Ji Yan smiled at him: "I brought one too."
No need for further words; the rhythms of "Leap" and "Reverse Time" soon filled the lounge. Ji Yan wasn't as skilled at playing the guitar as Ning Wei, but the other didn't seem to be showing off in front of him, simply strumming the strings quietly. Ji Yan couldn't help but smile.
...
After waiting for more than two hours, a staff member finally came in to inform the two: "Teachers, your performance is about to begin."
Ning Wei was dressed casually, and Ji Yan also changed out of the outfit he wore during the "Wings" performance and put on a loose sweater, so that both of them were wearing sweaters.
Standing backstage, the audience's shouts were already very enthusiastic. Although Ji Yan knew that these shouts were not for him, he could hardly help but be shocked when he heard them.
He always knew how popular "Blue" was, and he also knew how many supporters Ning Wei, the lead singer of "Blue," had. But when he stepped onto the stage with her, he still caught the audience's enthusiastic expressions.
But for Ning Wei, these are just everyday occurrences.
The accompaniment to "Leap" resounded around the stage.
Ning Wei, holding her guitar, didn't look down at the stage, but turned to look directly at Ji Yan—
"Bungee jumping to the highest point in the world, stepping onto the top of the earth."
"I wish to transform into a crane and fly over the perils of heaven and earth."
"I don't care about not fitting in; I have my own world."
"Snowy plateau, desert, blue sky, let me leap! Leap! Leap!"
His voice was slightly hoarse, but unlike during rehearsals, once he stepped onto the stage, Ning Wei's aura became extremely extroverted, and he almost single-handedly ignited the entire stage.
And now—he's declaring war on Ji Yan with his eyes.
"Ahhh, so handsome!"
"Can Ji Yan catch it?"
In this performance, Ji Yan did not bring a guitar. In front of him was only a standing microphone. When Ning Wei signaled to him with her eyes, Ji Yan gripped the microphone tightly and his clear voice came out in the next second.
"Challenge the infinite possibilities of fate and head towards the blue world."
"The world begs me to change, but I refuse to change."
Even on a night of confusion and ignorance...
"No one can stop me; I will become a hero."
This was the first time fans had heard "Leap" live. Ji Yan's singing was not as mature as Ning Wei's, but the power he displayed while singing was subtly challenging Ning Wei's performance.
Rather than being lively, Ji Yan's rendition of this song exudes an air of arrogance.
Then, it was time for the two to sing together—
Fans were at a loss for words to describe this moment—
Just like thousands of demoiselle cranes flying over the Himalayas in unison, just like madness and passion resonating at this moment, "Leap" was originally a song with a slightly faster tempo, but in the duet of Ji Yan and Ning Wei, both of them are breathing life into this song.
The tens of thousands of audience members fell silent at that moment, and the camera focused only on the two people performing the song together.
It cannot be said that Ning Wei suppressed Ji Yan, nor can it be said that Ji Yan suppressed Ning Wei. It can only be said that at this moment, the two voices merged in an incredible way, ultimately giving the song "Leap" a magical power.
Fans rarely hear Ning Wei sing duets with others.
But inexplicably, after listening to "Leap" today, they felt that Ning Wei and Ji Yan's performance was the best duet.
Both singers are known for their emotional performances, and their duet at this moment allowed fans to experience the superposition of emotions. In the face of this song, they could no longer hear any other voices.
"Awesome! Aaaaaah!"
"It gives me goosebumps!! This song was already great, but after Ji Yan and Ning Wei's rendition, no one can surpass it!!"
"My blood is boiling!"
"This version of 'Leap' is absolutely amazing! Who said there was something wrong with Ning Wei and Ji Yan's collaboration?"
"Ning Wei is already amazing, but I think Ji Yan wasn't overshadowed at all in this performance. Their collaboration was simply unbeatable!"
The camera pans to the two of them at this moment—
In the video, Ning Wei's eyes are shining, and Ji Yan's eyes are shining; the light in their eyes is clearly visible.
