Chapter 54 Starry Night Band
Chapter 54 Starry Night Band
"The Four Little Flowers!" Chen Yuan muttered to himself, recalling that there was a similar term in the entertainment industry on Blue Star.
Jiang Yichen discovered that Chen Yuan wasn't very familiar with the entertainment industry. If he didn't say he was a creator, it would be hard to believe he was in that circle.
Perhaps that's why he remained a marginal figure at White Night Entertainment for three years.
"Chen Yuan, what are your thoughts on creative work?" Jiang Yichen asked.
Chen Yuan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Write a work that satisfies yourself?"
"Of course not. True creation is about writing out the voices that readers want to hear in each era," Jiang Yichen said earnestly. "That's what a teacher told me."
"He is the only creator at the Black Gold level right now," Jiang Yichen said.
"Black Gold level?" Chen Yuan's memory raced, recalling some past memories. After a moment of silence, he exclaimed in amazement, "So that's how it is. That's why you're so powerful."
The so-called Black Gold level is the highest title among creators today.
New songwriters are called bronze medalists, then silver medalists, gold medalists, and finally black gold medalists.
He is now a creator of bronze medals.
"Next, let's give a warm round of applause to Jiang Yichen!" The host's voice came from the stage, and the audience erupted in cheers like a tsunami.
Many of Jiang Yichen's female fans held up support signs with "Jiang Yichen" written on them and screamed excitedly.
"Alright, I'm going on stage now." Jiang Yichen smiled and walked towards the stage. He was wearing a black casual suit with a white printed T-shirt underneath, looking calm and handsome. He is also one of the top original artists in the music scene today.
Jiang Yichen took the microphone, bowed slightly to the audience, and his gentle voice came through the speakers: "Hello everyone, I am Jiang Yichen. Next, I will perform a song called 'Chasing the Wind' for you."
After saying that, a melodious tune began to play, and Jiang Yichen closed his eyes and began to sing with great enthusiasm.
His clear and gentle voice perfectly conveyed the persistence and passion in pursuing dreams in the song.
As the song progressed, his singing gradually became more passionate, with emotions building layer by layer, making it extremely infectious.
The audience fell silent, listening intently, with many humming along softly to the melody.
When the song reached its climax, Jiang Yichen raised the microphone and shouted to the audience, "Do you have your own dreams? Let's chase them together!"
"Yes!" The unanimous response from 200,000 people resounded like thunder through the night sky, deeply moving everyone.
"Is this the power of a top-tier singer?!"
Standing backstage, Chen Yuan looked at Jiang Yichen, who was shining brightly on the stage, and listened to his highly infectious singing voice and the unanimous response from 200,000 people. He was deeply moved.
He is also a music creator who has written countless songs, but none of his songs have ever been chosen by a singer.
Once upon a time, being a singer was also his dream, a dream to be able to convey his emotions through songs on his own stage and let more people hear his works.
However, for various reasons, he later gave up this dream and turned to behind-the-scenes creation.
This moment feels like yesterday.
After Jiang Yichen finished singing, the applause and cheers from the audience lasted for a long time.
He bowed again to express his gratitude, then smiled and walked off the stage.
Then, the host's voice rang out again: "Thank you Jiang Yichen for the wonderful performance! Next, can you guess who it is?"
"Wanxing! Wanxing!" The cheers from the audience erupted again, even more enthusiastic than when Jiang Yichen appeared.
As an idol singer, Lin Wanxing, known as the "Energetic Princess," has an extremely close male-to-female fan ratio, which is why she was able to become popular so quickly.
Amid cheers, Lin Wanxing, dressed in a silver sequined dress, stepped onto the stage of the Dunhuang Centennial Celebration from another passageway.
The tassels on her skirt swayed gently with her steps, sparkling under the lights like stars fallen to earth, her beautiful hair cascading over her shoulders.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Wanxing." Lin Wanxing's voice was sweet and melodious as she waved to the audience. "Next, I'll be performing my signature piece, 'A Promise Under the Stars.'"
Lin Wanxing's voice is clear and sweet, full of girlish liveliness and gentleness, yet not low, but full of vitality.
The audience was completely immersed in the beautiful singing, and many couples held hands tightly, swaying gently to the melody.
"Wanxing is so beautiful! She's like a fairy descended from heaven!"
"The promise made under the starlight! My high school memories."
"Your singing voice is still so sweet! Your live performance was so solid, it truly lives up to the quality of a live CD."
Chen Yuan's gaze fell on the stage as he watched quietly. Not only were Jiang Yichen and Lin Wanxing, who had stage experience, performing very well, but Xu Zhiyi was also very impressive.
Unconsciously, their performance suppressed my inner unease.
Chen Yuan felt a pang of envy, though he didn't know what it was.
With Lin Wanxing's solo concert over, the time for his band to take the stage was drawing ever closer.
After coming off the stage, Lin Wanxing quickly touched up her makeup and then waited with Jiang Yichen beside Chen Yuan.
The accompaniment is ready; he will be the guitarist, Jiang Yichen will be the keyboardist, and Lin Wanxing will be the lead singer.
Chen Yuan took a deep breath, straightened his black overalls, and suppressed his nervousness and anticipation.
"A little nervous?" Lin Wanxing asked with a smile.
"Yes, a little." Chen Yuan nodded, not trying to hide his nervousness.
"It's normal to be nervous. Even now, we feel nervous in such a situation," Jiang Yichen echoed.
On stage, other singers continued their performances, and the atmosphere remained enthusiastic.
The cheers, songs, and instrumental music of 200,000 people mingled together, creating a powerful energy that echoed across Crescent Bay Square.
Tonight, the sky above Dunhuang is filled with stars, and below, countless other stars are shining brightly.
The number of viewers in the online live stream has exceeded ten million, and the barrage of comments continues to scroll rapidly. Viewers enjoy the performance while eagerly anticipating the next singer's appearance.
Suddenly, the host's voice rang out, pulling Chen Yuan back to reality.
"Next, let's continue to enjoy the wonderful performance! Please wait a moment, as we will soon have one of the most anticipated band performances of the evening."
"The Starry Night Band, composed of Chen Yuan, Jiang Yichen, and Lin Wanxing, brings us their original song 'Crescent Bay'!"
"It's incredible. I was startled when I saw the name. Is this a song written specifically for Crescent Bay? I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of song it will be."
The audience was stunned as soon as the host finished speaking.
Unlike online viewers who have a program schedule to follow, live audiences don't.
"It's here! It's finally here!"
"Wow, putting everything else aside, the combination of Jiang Yichen and Lin Wanxing alone is enough to ignite the scene!"
"The Starry Sky Band? Taken from Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen's names?"
"Jiang Yichen, come on! Let us hear your original compositions!"
"..."
"By the way, this song Crescent Bay was written by Chen Yuan, sung by Lin Wanxing, with Chen Yuan as the guitarist and Jiang Yichen as the keyboardist."
As soon as the host's voice rang out, tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room were stunned.
As the instruments were brought onto the stage, Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and, at the urging of Jiang Yichen and Lin Wanxing, walked ahead towards the stage.
