Chapter 411 Unplugged Performance of "Stubborn"

Chapter 411 Unplugged Performance·"Stubborn"

Unplugged, translated from unplugged, refers to not using the socket (connected to the power supply). In music performances, it specifically refers to live performances that do not use any electronic instruments or are not modified by any electronic equipment. They are more common in pop music.

In fact, unplugged performances are not a formal form of performance. Just like now that there are mobile phones and music apps, some people will listen to MP3 or gramophone records, so unplugged performances are also such entertainment performances with retro and nostalgic colors.

Although there is no specific definition or specification, everyone agrees that "unplugged" means "using the original sound of acoustic instruments as much as possible". In short, it is natural, authentic and simple.

However, in actual performances, "unplugging" is not so strict. When it comes to playing musical instruments, performers usually use electronic devices such as microphones or pickups for sound collection and amplification. After all, they still have to ensure audio-visual quality and effects. If the audience a little further down the stage can't hear the sound, then it's putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, honest unplugged performances like "Thousand Colors" are really rare. Speaking of the format, it is really down-to-earth, just like people practice singing songs and record them casually in daily life. But in terms of form, The quality is at the level of a professional band, which makes the audience so conflicted that they don't know how to praise it.

At this time Wang Kaiyue yelled, but He Jiayi was still immersed in emotions and just glared at him without saying anything. Instead, the artist spoke:

"Hey, isn't this a song that was on Miao Video some time ago? I remembered it, it was the team leader who sang it! We both wore makeup and had our hair styled before. There is a big difference in temperament. I really didn't notice it."

Meow Video, also pronounced "Miao (Miao) Video", is the most popular short video platform in Longguo.

"Well, a lot of people took pictures of it before the V blog. It was the captain's road show." He Jiayi came back to his senses at this time and continued.

"What?" Wang Kaiyue was surprised.

He knew which song it was from the first two lines. He was indeed familiar with it. It had been popular on the Internet for a while, but he had only listened to clips or other people's covers before, so he really didn't know about Shi Yan's street singing and singing exploits.

"Thank you for calling yourself the King of Resources." He Jiayi now had the strength to roll her eyes at him, "Look, this is it."

"... Damn it!" Wang Kaiyue took a look at it and quickly memorized the search keywords. He kept complaining, "What the hell are the code names in your fan circle? What is Little Gopher? Who can search for this!"

"Obviously there are fans in the community who have forwarded relevant information. You missed it and you blame others!" He Jiayi snorted.

"Isn't this all..." Wang Kaiyue's arrogance disappeared and he whispered, "Tsk, aren't you used to looking at the official website homepage?"

Although I can't help but criticize the company every day, this kind of simple and direct official arrangement that saves time and effort is still very satisfying! How normal it is for people to be lazy!

As he said this, he cut out and took a look at the group's updates. Sure enough, several timelines were unlocked. In addition to the "6.27 'Thousand Colors' Unplugged Performance Live Broadcast" at the top, Shi Yan was even clearly marked. I previously went on roadshows to show the time and place and reminded fans to check in wisely. The amount of information was not pleasant to say the least, it was like diarrhea.

"Hey? Wait, isn't there another one?" Wang Kaiyue clicked on one of the timelines and quickly glanced at the song list that Shi Yan had sung. The cover songs at the bottom were all very familiar to him, except for the one at the top. "Tenderness" is very unfamiliar to the one that follows it.

"Ah ah ah there is something wrong with you, cut back quickly!! They are continuing!!"

The thing is that without mentioning it, He Jiayi saw the howling in the Feixun group and was so anxious that he tugged on Wang Kaiyue's sleeve. It was his mobile phone that was casting the screen to the TV!

"Oh oh oh fuck!"

Wang Kaiyue rushed back in a hurry.

"You x-on:#￥%——" When the switch was successful, Shi Yan had already finished singing several lines on the screen. He Jiayi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he still remembered that he tried his best to lower his voice so as not to cover up the song "Thousand Colors".

"I, if I compromise myself, if I lie to myself.

"Even if others forgive, I can't forgive."

When singing this song called "Stubborn", the smile on Shi Yan's face was much brighter than before.

If "Tenderness" still makes these half-grown boys struggle with the meaning of lyrics and feelings, then "Stubborn" is undoubtedly the most true and free expression of their hearts. It does not take too much time to understand, because every Every word sounds a hundred times more consistent with me!

Sing it out, sing it happily, sing it loudly, that’s enough!

“The most beautiful wish must be the craziest.

"I am my own god, in! My! Living! Of! ↓→! Place!"

Shi Yan deliberately sang the second half of the sentence vigorously, and Yang Jihan and others all laughed and opened their mouths to sing in unison.

"My final stubbornness and I will hold my hands tightly and never let go.

"The next stop is paradise, even if you are disappointed, don't despair!

"Me and my proud stubbornness, I sang loudly in the wind.

"This time, be crazy about yourself, just this once! Me and my stubbornness—"

Not only did "Thousand Colors" sing along while playing instruments, but even the audience and fans outside the screen subconsciously sang along.

These two songs had appeared as early as a month ago. Initially, passers-by filmed Shi Yan’s road show. In one of the videos that was highly viewed, Shi Yan personally admitted that these were his and his teammates’ songs, but that At that time, he was the only one who played and sang by himself. Although the melody and lyrics were of high quality, he lacked a professional arrangement, which made it somewhat uninteresting. In addition, Shi Yan looked like a child who had no worries about food, clothing, and love, so everyone Everyone thought it was a high school student from some school who started a band in their spare time, but didn't think much further.

Later, due to the high quality of the songs and Shi Yan's singing skills, these road show videos were forwarded a lot on Vblog and E-station, attracting users and anchors on platforms such as Miao Video to sing covers one after another. Some people did not sing the songs themselves, but Some clips from these two songs will also be used as background music for short videos.

Over time, Shi Yan, who was out singing, gained many fans who specially came to watch him sing. There were also more people on the Internet who were very impressed by "Tenderness" and "Stubborn" even though they didn't know who Shi Yan was.

“…The direction against the wind is more suitable for flying.

"I'm not afraid of millions of people blocking it——"

While reminiscing, Shi Yan had already sang the second verse of the verse. This time his teammates all knew what this guy wanted to do, so they sang loudly together:

"Only! Afraid of! Myself! Surrender ↓→! Surrender!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"My final stubbornness and I will hold my hands tightly and never let go~"

The five boys laughed and sang, and the chorus started again. The singing mixed with laughter sounded more real. The audience was thinking, isn't this me who usually sings songs with my relatives and friends in KTV?

Thinking this way, everyone laughed unconsciously.

So cute, so sunny, so youthful!

Both the song and the person singing were full of positive energy. Si Yan, who was sitting in the middle, smiled and narrowed his eyes. He was like a bright and warm little sun, radiating to his teammates and at the same time. This warm atmosphere is conveyed to the audience outside the screen.

“Just this once, let me sing louder!

"La la la la la la la la.

"La la la la la la la la……"

The people in front of me who like to listen to songs but haven’t memorized the lyrics suddenly became happy. I couldn’t keep up with the verses and choruses, “La”, can I still do it!

Even everyone in the conference room where Qin Jue was sitting started singing along. Even those who had not heard the song in full before, they were familiar with the melody after hearing it all the way.

This song is perfect for a chorus!

Qu Nan thought with a smile on his face, and the fatigue from a busy day was swept away a lot.

This song is perfect for waving light sticks left and right in the audience!

He Jiayi and other fans thought of another aspect.

Thinking of this, they suddenly felt sour.

When will the next "Thousand Colors" show take place! ! I really want to see it! !
