Even after Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing left the stage, the excitement of the audience had not subsided.
"Oh my god... Did you think the photographer took a candid shot of Yan Chaozhao? It would be such a shame if there wasn't a candid shot of a stage like this!"
"Please pray that the live director can switch the camera better. Please, I want to watch this stage again several times when I get home."
"Although I don't know the guy who just collaborated with Yan Chaozhao, his singing skills are really amazing! He doesn't look very old, but his singing skills are so stable. I thought he was lip-syncing at first..."
"Me too, until I heard the sound of his metal buttons hitting the microphone..."
"Now I don't care what the next stage is. I even want to call Yan Chaochao and that little brother back for an encore."
"I looked over and it looks like the next stage is the performance by the group NICE?"
"Oh... then it's meaningless. It doesn't matter if I don't watch it..."
Among the excited and thrilled audience, only one group seemed out of place.
Listening to the blunt comments from people around them, fans of the NICE group held their breath, especially when they heard those comments that said, "It doesn't matter if you don't watch it."
Although many fans were shocked by Yan Chaochao's performance just now, the desire to protect their idol still prevailed.
At this time, NICE group was surrounded by negative voices, and the fans looked unhappy.
"NICE's performance hasn't even started yet, how do you know it won't be as good as Yan Chaochao's performance?"
"It's just what others say..."
"Isn't Yan Chaochao relying on gimmicks like helicopters? But in the final analysis, the stage still depends on hard power."
"Men's bands are all about live action. NICE's performance is going to be amazing!"
The fans of the NICE group gathered together, talking to each other, but having just experienced the shock of Yan Chaochao's stage performance, when they said these words, they probably couldn't even tell whether they were trying to convince others or themselves.
In the noisy crowd, Kong Xiaxuan clenched the camera in her hand, showing a conflicted expression.
Listening to the fans of the NICE group disparaging Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing's stage performance, Kong Xiaxuan couldn't help but silently refute them in her heart.
That's not the case.
The reason why Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing's performance was so wonderful was not simply because of the helicopter appearance. The following singing by Yan Jing, Yan Chaochao's sword dance, and the choreography of the entire dance made Kong Xiaxuan vaguely remember the opening stage of the first talent show she had ever watched.
When looking at the stage just now, Kong Xiaxuan felt that kind of joy that she had not felt for a long time.
That kind of...
The passion of the heart beating for a wonderful performance.
***
While the audience in the audience had different thoughts, the NICE group waiting backstage had different reactions.
During the talent show, Yan Jing had a good relationship with the other contestants. Now, seeing Yan Jing standing on the stage again and presenting such a good performance, although the other members felt pressured, they were also more or less happy for Yan Jing.
Owen Bo couldn't help but speak up: "Brother Yan told me before that he had taken on a lot of OST work recently. I almost thought he was really going to switch to behind-the-scenes work... Fortunately."
Owen Bo looked at the broadcast screen with bright eyes and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Yan is the most charming on the stage!"
While other members of the NICE group were happy for Yan Jing, only Cheng Aotian had a gloomy face as he watched the live broadcast.
He has practiced vocal music for many years, but before his debut, his vocal teacher always described him as "average talent".
On the first stage, when the other contestants heard Yan Jing singing for the first time, their faces were filled with amazement. Cheng Aotian also pretended to be surprised, but only he knew how panicked he was at that moment.
That kind of voice, that kind of musical level...it's definitely a gift from God.
When encountering a true genius, some people would choose to look up to him, but Cheng Aotian's choice is...
Suppress the genius before it is discovered by others.
If the program was simply to evaluate singing skills, then Cheng Aotian would have no way to defeat Yan Jing.
Fortunately, this is a talent show.
Fortunately, this program relies on voting rather than talent for debut.
Some seemingly true gossip and rumors released during the competition were enough to cause serious damage to individual contestants without any background, and they unfortunately stopped in the talent show.
When Yan Jing was eliminated, Cheng Aotian shed a few crocodile tears hypocritically, but when he hugged Yan Jing, he felt indescribably relaxed and happy in his heart.
but……
Cheng Aotian's eyes were filled with fear and his expression was ugly.
Why would Yan Jing, who hadn't even made his debut, appear on the New Year's Eve stage? And why was he collaborating with Yan Chaochao on the stage?
Even though Cheng Aotian kept reminding himself to stay calm, his hands at his sides subconsciously clenched into fists.
Other members of the NICE group also noticed Cheng Aotian's unfriendly expression, and some members couldn't help but curl their lips.
How could they think Cheng Aotian was a good-tempered person during the competition?
Now that I think about it, I must have been blind at the time.
"Ready to go on stage."
In the side passage, staff members hurried in, their voices breaking the gloomy atmosphere.
The staff looked up and saw Cheng Aotian's gloomy face. Feeling the strange atmosphere at the scene, they did not show any strange expression.
After all, I have dealt with many celebrities and have some understanding of their moral character. There are many cases where they say one thing in public and another behind their backs.
Hearing the staff's voice, Cheng Aotian didn't say hello, but just walked forward along the aisle with his head raised.
The staff didn't say anything about Cheng Aotian's attitude, but they rolled their eyes silently in their hearts.
Seeing Cheng Aotian's attitude, Ou Wenbo felt a little embarrassed and nodded to the staff: "Thank you." After that, Ou Wenbo smiled at the staff, and then hurriedly caught up with Cheng Aotian in front.
When other members of the NICE group passed by the staff, they also nodded slightly or said "thank you" in a low voice.
Faced with such a gap in attitude, the staff did not say anything on the surface. They just looked at the backs of the NICE group and said "tsk" softly.
really……
There are reasons why some people's popularity is overtaken by their teammates.
***
After the performance, Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing returned to the lounge backstage.
There is a screen in the lounge so you can see the stage.
Although Yan Jing was trying to control his emotions, he stared at the screen without blinking, with a complicated expression in his eyes.
There is melancholy and yearning.
Sitting next to Yan Jing, Yan Chaochao naturally saw Yan Jing's expression clearly.
After confirming to cooperate with Yan Jing, Yan Chaochao also learned about Yan Jing's experience. Naturally, he knew that he had participated in the same talent show with Cheng Aotian, but in the early stage of the show, he was rumored to have school violence and love affairs. Even though the rumors were later clarified, his popularity missed the rising period, and ultimately he did not even make it to the finals.
Yan Jing was immersed in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard a voice from the side: "Want a lollipop?"
Yan Jing was slightly stunned when he was brought back to reality by this voice. He turned around and saw Yan Chaochao holding a lollipop and placing it in front of him.
Although she didn't say it directly, Yan Jing could see her comfort from Yan Chaochao's expression and actions.
Yan Jing stared at the lollipop and suddenly burst out laughing. The melancholy around him disappeared without a trace in an instant.
What on earth is he struggling with?
The past cannot be changed, and the future...
At least it doesn't look that bad now, does it?
"OK."
Yan Jing took the lollipop from Yan Chaochao with a smile, opened the plastic wrapping, and put the light yellow lollipop into his mouth.
Lemon flavor.
A little sour, but... a little sweet.
At this moment, as the lights on the stage came on again, Yan Jing's gaze returned to the stage, but this time, there was only calmness in his eyes.
***
The whole place was dark at first, and then the lights came on.
Below the stage, the fans of the NICE group were holding their breath, but when the lights came on, they naturally screamed at the top of their lungs.
Amid the fast-paced electronic music, Owen Bo was the first to jump out, and a fast-paced rap instantly caught the audience's ears.
The moment the camera moved over, Owen Bo gently tapped the camera with his finger, as if interacting with the audience in front of the screen.
Below the stage, Kong Xiaxuan quickly pressed the shutter button and took several photos in a short time.
Fans of the NICE group screamed continuously.
"Ahhhhhh! Owen Bo is so handsome!"
"Oh my god! It's actually the opening rap! Has the company suddenly come to their senses recently? It seems like Owen Bo's treatment has suddenly improved a lot..."
"That's right, this is better than praising someone..." Owen Bo's fan in the crowd spoke quickly, almost blurting out. Fortunately, he suddenly covered his mouth halfway through and carefully swallowed the rest of the words.
Following Owen Bo, the other members also performed their parts well, but the overall performance was just average. Even with such a loud backing track, a few off-tune vocals could be heard.
If there were no previous performances by Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing for comparison, this stage might still be described as "not bad", and the team would just buy a few trending searches afterwards and that would be it.
But having just watched the audio-visual feast presented by Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing, looking at this stage again, it more or less has a bit of the meaning of "It's a big rural stage, come if you're brave enough."
Except for the part where Owen Bo came on stage and rapped, Kong Xiaxuan pressed the shutter button at a faster speed. When the other team members came on stage, Kong Xiaxuan's shutter speed slowed down unconsciously.
Kong Xiaxuan pursed her lips. Although she was holding the camera, she had lost interest in pressing the shutter.
It is obviously because I like stage performances that I follow talent shows and become a fan of the NICE group.
but……
Since when did she no longer feel the same initial passion when watching the NICE group's performances?
A trace of confusion flashed in Kong Xiaxuan's eyes.
On the contrary, it was when she watched the collaborative performance of Yan Chaochao and Yan Jing just now that Kong Xiaxuan felt the passion that only belongs to the stage for the first time in a long time.
In Yan Jing's singing, Kong Xiaxuan once again experienced the passion that seemed to allow her to devote her entire self to the stage.
When the melody changed and the chorus was about to come out, Kong Xiaxuan temporarily put aside her inner entanglement, raised the camera again, and pointed the lens at the stage.
The camera focused on the stage and Cheng Aotian's face appeared in front of the camera.
Not only at the scene, but also in the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room, the fans of the NICE group were boiling with excitement.
[Here it comes! This is the high note I'm most looking forward to! ]
[This high note is really a show of skill]
[Huh? I remember this was all the lead singer's part, how come it suddenly became Cheng Aotian's?]
[No problem, Aotian is the all-around ace of the NICE group! It's just a high note, it's not a problem for him at all!]
[All you sour fans, listen up! This is the true strength of our NICE group's all-around ace, Cheng Aotian!]
Amid the excited cheers of fans, Cheng Aotian showed a confident smile under the close-up camera and sang the high note he had carefully prepared for a long time.
The moment this "high note" came out, the fans of the NICE group who were originally cheering were suddenly stunned.
This high note...
Did you sing it out of turn?
