The barrage was already flying around.
The scene was even more noisy and chaotic.
The fans in the front row had long been crying their eyes out, shouting "No!" from their mouths.
They didn't want to hear Nan XiangWan mention any other man's name!
Nan XiangWan's voice was still loud, drowning them out: "Why are you crying? Smile for me!"
The crowd: "???"
No, that's not right.
What's with this style?
I'm shocked!
Suddenly, a roaring sound of laughter rang out.
Sure enough, the seriousness didn't last more than three seconds. What about thanking Gu Beihuai you said?
Instead, you come up with this!
Laugh to death, laugh to death!
Nan XiangWan looked serious: "The reason why I thank Mr. Gu Beihuai, you should understand very well. During the four months, I grew from a newbie to having 200 million fans now. I was doubted, villified, and targeted."
Nan XiangWan: "Mr. Gu Beihuai is a model in the industry for mentoring juniors! His help to me is unforgettable, so thank you!"
The fans collectively fell silent.
Yes, Heavenly King Gu really treated Nan XiangWan very very well!
So well that it made them jealous!
But mentoring juniors and stuff, forget it Nan XiangWan!
Gu Heavenly King only helped you okay!
A young fan in the front row sobbed: "Wuwuwu! But he's so handsome, we're afraid..."
It just so happened that Jie Chou and Mantou were standing next to this young fan.
Jie Chou shouted loudly: "Boycott Gu Beihuai!"
Mantou: "???"
Goodness, Jie Chou you...
Don't you care about decades of brotherhood anymore!
After Jie Chou shouted, he shook Mantou's hand together: "Boycott! Boycott!"
Mantou: "......"
Mr. Fox Gu if you see this please believe him, he was forced.
Nan XiangWan looked at the fans who were still crying and making a fuss.
There was no other way, she could only raise her right hand and clench her fist!
The scene gradually quieted down.
A smile bloomed on Nan XiangWan's face: "Didn't you promise to be good?"
Hearing these words, the fans cried even harder on the spot.
Wuwuwu crying!
Aowoww howling!
Like they just went through a breakup!
............
Backstage.
Zhao Tiancheng clapped loudly: "Hahaha! This stalling method is not bad, first create some hype, then be funny, and finally stir up emotions, just passed a few minutes haha!"
The other six females of Tianming looked expressionless.
After laughing, Zhao Tiancheng glanced at them: "What's with you all being so serious?"
Ge Dongxuan: "Only you think Nan XiangWan was being funny, okay?"
Zhu Sha: "She was sincerely thanking Mr. Gu Beihuai, and also sincerely telling fans not to cry."
Zhao Tiancheng: "......"
Ge Dongxuan shrugged: "Nan XiangWan herself doesn't feel like she's being funny, understand?"
Zhao Tiancheng: "Oh."
He didn't understand the thinking of young people.
......
On stage.
Nan XiangWan timed it perfectly, quietly watching as the fans' emotions reached a climax.
It's about time.
So she picked up the mic again: "'The Wilderness' is a folk style song, do you like folk songs?"
The crowd cried out: "Like!"
Nan XiangWan smiled: "Good, then next up is..."
Nan XiangWan: "'Sword Dance'!"
As soon as she finished speaking—
Boom!
Fireworks in front of the stage suddenly exploded!
At the same time, the accompaniment sounded.
The strings of the guqin plucked out a ripple that seemed to spread across the lake surface.
At the opening, Nan XiangWan's voice sang:
[Cloud smoke yearning]
[Armor and long sword]
[One day will surely return]
[Whether in splendor or triumph]
[Small bridge and riverbank, ancient city smoke]
[When I return, feelings unspoken though worries remain]
The prelude of "Sword Dance" talks about love, the promises of a young general to his maiden before going off to war.
Nan XiangWan participated in the MV shooting and experienced those emotions on-site.
So she sang it appropriately, but it felt very different from Gu Beihuai's male vocals in the original!
The female version of "Sword Dance" had even thicker, more youthful feelings.
All the audience at the scene could feel that hint of feelings from the singing.
Many fans who thought too much almost stopped breathing!
This song, these feelings...
Could it be...
Ahhhh!
Nan XiangWan don't!
For the first time, the fans hoped Nan XiangWan wouldn't sing so emotionally!
They were about to cry!
After singing the first section, the accompaniment added more elements.
In the original MV, this part was precisely when the female lead was forced onto the bridal sedan chair to get married.
Nan XiangWan's voice became slightly hoarse and shrill, and the rhythm also quickened:
[A word of refusal in the wind]
[Heart-scorching wine, crying at the hillside]
[What good is gossip of gentle streams bearing a leaf boat]
[In the end it still goes with the flow]
[I wanted to talk as you left at dusk]
[Now there is double joy, the white silk commands my life be not spared]
Singing to this point, Nan XiangWan remained standing at the center of the stage.
She just quietly held the mic, singing out the lyrics.
There were fans on the side generating wind that blew her strand of long hair and clothes, swaying slightly.
At this time, the accompaniment gradually changed.
The guqin was replaced with a guzheng, and the orchestra in the back row came out in full force!
Reaching the climax of the whole song!
In the original MV, it was precisely when the female lead climbed onto the city wall and saw the enemy troops approaching the city.
Boom—
The drum sounded!
The fans in front blew much stronger, blowing her clothes fluttering.
Blowing her hair dancing wildly!
Nan XiangWan's voice bloomed:
[Three lifetimes not far, the land is in peril!]
[What is the right path, lasting affection between children?]
[The road ahead, snowstorm and yellow sand, battle horses neighing, chaotic burial]
[You smile knowing glory for ages, I seek recklessness in this life]
[The general does not understand the difference between winning and losing in the prime of youth]
[Evil asks not who is the villain, nowhere is home between heaven and earth]
With the high notes and hundreds of instruments behind her, this song was pushed to its peak!
Nan XiangWan in a dark red dress, standing at the center of the stage.
The entire scene seemed to recreate the original MV!
Her clothes seemed to be dyed red with blood.
The cheers and shouts from the 20,000 people in the venue drowned out the fans' crying.
The shocking scene under the purple starry sky.
The moment the final high note cut off—
The sound of the guzheng rose, the lingering music of the instruments.
Then it moved into the final section.
Nan XiangWan's voice also changed, carrying a hint of loneliness amidst the loud singing:
[One sword unsheathed, slaughter across thousands of miles]
[Turning back suddenly, a red dress falls as the city is broken]
[No time for battle commands]
[The mortal world curses angrily]
With that, the song "Sword Dance" ended!
The MV had an open ending, and the finale of the song also left a feeling of more to come.
As if nothing had truly finished.
Where did the general go?
Back to the battlefield?
Did the female lead get saved after falling from the city wall?
All of this was hidden in the last line of the song "The mortal world curses angrily".
The moment Nan XiangWan put down the mic—
The scene exploded!
Countless audience members stood there roaring.
Nan XiangWan's words before the concert had already brought the fans to tears.
And now, after singing this song, the stirring of emotions was thorough.
The fans were crying their eyes out!
The tears just wouldn't stop!
Mantou looked expressionlessly at Jie Chou leaning on his shoulder, crying nonstop, with tears and snot all over his clothes.
Luckily these were casual clothes that he could just toss later.
Jie Chou cried with a red nose: "Wuwuwu! Wawawawa! Aowowow!"
Mantou: "Cry if you want, don't howl."
Jie Chou clutched Mantou's arm tightly: "You don't understand! You can actually not cry, you're simply an iron mantou!"
Mantou shook his head speechlessly and looked back at the girl on stage, the light in his eyes even deeper.
