AWB Chapter 753 OST
Chapter 753 OST
Chapter 753 OST
By the time he got on stage, Jiang Yuan had already changed into his performance clothes.
After half a year of touring, Jiang Yuan has become quite accustomed to the feeling when about to go on stage.
Especially since the tour had just ended not too long ago, I was able to mobilize myself and get into the state of performance preparation.
Jiang Yuan was responsible for the opening of the concert.
Before Jiang Yuan came on stage, the corresponding entrance animation began playing on the big screen.
Corresponding to the different singers participating in the concert tonight, a high-energy Chinese comic-style entrance animation was specially produced on site based on the style of "The Return of the Great Sage".
When Jiang Yuan's personal poster appeared on the big screen, the audience immediately started cheering.
Although the number of spectators is much smaller than that of the stadium, the volume of shouting at this moment is indeed not inferior at all.
The lights dimmed and then lit up again. For the audience, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuan's figure appeared on the stage.
Compared to a stadium, the advantage of a small venue is that even the audience in the stands can see Jiang Yuan more clearly.
At least it's not just a tiny dot, at least you can clearly see Jiang Yuan's movements on the stage.
The default basic cheering color of the glow sticks at the concert was golden red, which matched the movie and was very eye-catching.
However, the moment Jiang Yuan appeared on the stage, the lights on the scene changed to colors that matched the atmosphere of the song.
The opening song was also the ending song "Empty".
Many fans who went to the cinema to watch a movie specifically listened to this ending song after the movie was finished before leaving.
As the opening song, after Jiang Yuan started singing, the audience was a little surprised to find that the version was slightly different from the one they heard in the cinema.
In the live opening performance, Jiang Yuan did not sing the lyrics, but hummed them instead.
The audience looked at the big screen carefully and found that the song title on the screen was "Empty (Humming Version)"
As the opening song of the concert, Jiang Yuan also had some special designs and sang another wordless version of the original work, which was sung in a similar style to the first song of the opera.
As Jiang Yuan sang, the lights in the venue turned silver-white.
The choreography on the big screen was a two-dimensional ink-and-wash animation of some images. An ethereal feeling accompanied by Jiang Yuan's singing lingered in the ears of the audience, instantly quieting the scene.
Although there were no lyrics, as Jiang Yuan hummed, the audience unconsciously began to indulge in Jiang Yuan's singing.
The more you focus on the melody itself, the more ethereal and magical a feeling you get.
Coupled with the cloud-like special effects props that sprayed out from the stage during the performance, many audiences were immersed in it and felt as if they were in a different world.
Compared to the official studio version, hearing this song live can make you feel the charm of this song even more.
Many audience members who didn't really get this song when listening to the original audio were almost obsessed with it at the scene.
At the end of the song, many audience members felt a sense of lightness as if their souls had been cleansed.
When the music stopped, applause broke out spontaneously at the scene, and even the cheers from previous performances were not heard.
There was only applause after the song was finished.
Jiang Yuan, wearing a white traditional Chinese style dress, stood in the mist of dry ice. She bowed slightly to the audience and then disappeared into the mist.
In fact, it returned to the backstage through a lift, but the final effect created does have a sense of fairy-like déjà vu.
After the song ended, Jiang Yuan did not continue singing on the stage.
After all, this was an OST concert, not a personal concert, so after Jiang Yuan left the stage, the lights dimmed again.
A new transition animation also began to play on the big screen, along with some short clips suitable for the atmosphere of the next song, and the next singer's appearance animation.
Following Jiang Yuan on stage was Lu Qing.
When Lu Qing's poster appeared on the big screen, the audience gave him warm cheers out of respect.
In this OST, Lu Qing also sang one of the singles with all his heart.
Like "Kong", this is also a song that Jiang Yuan borrowed from the soundtrack of the movie "The Legend of Wukong".
Although the movie "The Legend of Sun Wukong" did not restore the original work very well, it must be said that the production of the OST is indeed very strong.
The song sung by Lv Qing is also the title track of the movie. It is a very powerful single and was eventually used as the promotional song for the movie.
It can be considered a song that is somewhat independent of the plot.
However, to the audience, it is a close match to the theme of the movie. After all, these works are all inspired by the character of Goku.
"Who am I and how come I live alone?
Where did I come from and where am I going?"
In the live arrangement version, when Lu Qing sang, his performance was more inclined towards rock.
The animation on the big screen, Lu Qing's singing voice and the lyrics instantly created a strong resonance among the audience.
Compared to the general audience, the audience at the scene had basically watched the movie before.
Some listeners even reviewed several OSTs at home in advance in preparation for the concert.
Apart from the opening performance of "Kong" by Jiang Yuan in the form of humming, which was not what the audience expected, the song "The Legend of Sun Wukong" is now very familiar to everyone.
If you are familiar with the song to a certain extent, listening to Lu Qing singing every word of the lyrics is also a different kind of feeling.
"Every night it repeats like this,
I can’t tell whether it’s indifference or loneliness.”
When singing the main part, Lu Qing stood alone in the center of the stage, as if he was singing his inner monologue, and the emotions in his voice were quite rich.
Echoing the clips played simultaneously with the live performance, the audience was deeply moved.
It's not just about the scene, there were less than 10,000 spectators in the stadium.
However, this concert was also broadcast in real time. In theaters across the country, thousands of viewers were able to experience the concert through the theater screens and speakers.
The broadcast had a slight delay, and everyone only watched Jiang Yuan's opening performance through the live broadcast when Lu Qing was already performing on the scene.
The humming version of "Empty" also brought great shock to the fans.
When the transition animation was playing, there were occasional quiet exchanges in the theater.
“This song is so magical!”
“The wordless version is also very nice!”
“I felt like I was floating after listening to it!”
"Jiang Yuan is really suitable for singing this kind of fairy-like song, it's like being in outer space!"
"The immersion is so strong, I'm completely sucked in!"——
Back to the performance, after the main song ended, Lu Qing's performance quickly came to the climax of the chorus.
The accumulated emotions were also released through Lu Qing's singing at this moment.
"I want this day to no longer cover my eyes,
I want this land to no longer be able to bury my heart.
I want all living beings to understand my intention.
I want all those Buddhas to vanish into thin air!!”
The lyrics of the chorus are also very classic and domineering lines from the original novel "The Legend of Sun Wukong".
In order to better fit the scene at this moment, Lu Qing's performance is much more explosive than the official recorded version.
Combined with the special effects, sound, light and electricity on the big screen, the audience immediately got goose bumps and their emotions were ignited along with the song.
This arrangement greatly takes into account the listening experience of the audience.
If we say that before, Jiang Yuan had made an ethereal opening that made the audience on the scene become focused.
Then Lu Qing's song "The Legend of Sun Wukong" completely opened up the atmosphere of the performance, making everyone wave their glow sticks excitedly.
When the chorus of the second section sounded again, with a progressive arrangement, Lu Qing's singing became more and more high-spirited and excited.
Because there were not too many songs to sing that day, Lu Qing performed this song with the concentration of a competition.
When the singer is fully focused and relaxed, such a scene is bound to be very contagious.
Especially the continuous key increase in the last few choruses, Jiang Yuan and the staff backstage couldn't help but applaud.
You can indeed tell that Lu Qing is really having fun singing.
After Lu Qing finished singing, the audience cheered excitedly, obviously inspired by the performance.
However, after the song ended, Lu Qing quickly vacated the stage.
The next one to come on stage was Ye Xuanqi. While waiting in the backstage, Jiang Yuan looked at Ye Xuanqi, clapped his hands, and watched her go onto the stage.
It seemed that Lu Qing's performance had aroused his enthusiasm. When the transition animation presented Ye Xuanqi's personal poster, Jiang Yuan felt that the cheers were even louder than before.
The cheers, which were already loud enough, rose several degrees again the moment Ye Xuanqi stepped onto the stage.
However, the audience's reaction was understandable. Although Ye Xuanqi came in a hurry for this performance, she still carefully prepared the performance costumes.
At this time, a woman in a long dress stood on the stage, as if she had come to some important party.
With such exquisite makeup, it was hard not to make the audience cheer like this.
Especially in the previous performance, Lu Qing appeared on stage with almost no makeup on, and the strong contrast with her makeup made it more prominent.
The stage background matched Ye Xuanqi's outfit and also changed into a quiet blue.
As the music started, the songs sung by Ye Xuanqi appeared on the big screen simultaneously.
"My Old Self" is defined as an original soundtrack of a movie theme song.
For Jiang Yuan, this is also a genuine OST from the original "The Return of the Great Sage".
When the piano prelude sounded, Ye Xuanqi just stood under the spotlight on the stage, which was enough to be pleasing to the eyes for many audiences.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, the single "My Past" is very suitable for Ye Xuanqi's voice, so he contacted her to record this song in advance.
"The call of my heart is always lingering,
A cloud in the wind, it's coming towards me."
Ye Xuanqi's singing voice sounded at the scene, extremely beautiful.
It was amazing for the audience to hear three completely different tones at once, all performed extremely well.
"You said you were leaving,
I will be back tomorrow”
It is a lyrical song, and Ye Xuanqi interprets the charm of the song very well.
At the same time, a lot of techniques are added during the singing process to embellish and enrich the listening experience.
"Turning around is not a farewell, but separation is inseparable.
If you meet my old self, please bring him back."
Moving into the chorus of the song, Ye Xuanqi's singing is still as smooth as ever.
While the emotions are full, the listening experience is still guaranteed.
For the audience at the scene, listening to three consecutive live songs gave them a listening experience that surpassed the sound source in the recording studio.
This time, the soundtrack of "The Return of the Great Sage" is not particularly popular compared to some of the previous hits.
However, the movie is currently being released in theaters, so it is still performing well on the charts.
But overall, apart from the huge hit "Brave Heart", the other OSTs are relatively less popular and are not the kind of songs that you can get immediately after listening to them.
However, when combined with the plot of the movie, almost all the audience got it when they heard it on the spot.
In the theater where the broadcast was being broadcast simultaneously, the audience had just been shocked by Lu Qing's song "The Legend of Sun Wukong", and then they saw Ye Xuanqi appear on the stage and they all admired her beauty.
The lyrical song "My Past Self" is sung by Ye Xuanqi in a gentle and moving way, yet with a sense of airy distance, which is just right.
Moreover, compared with the previous two songs, because this one is considered an "original" song, the fit with the live stage animation will be higher.
After Ye Xuanqi finished her performance, she also bowed slightly to the audience.
At the same time, in addition to saying hello, it also truly opened the first talk of tonight's concert.
“I am very happy to be here at the OST concert of The Return of the Great Sage tonight.”
"After singing this song, I have been looking forward to seeing the movie. Now it is finally released. I believe everyone here has already seen it in the theater, right?" Ye Xuanqi handed over the microphone and interacted with the audience.
During the talk session, the film was briefly promoted according to the script.
Ye Xuanqi was mainly responsible for the subsequent announcement work, and while chatting with the audience, the topic turned to the songs.
“I believe that after watching the movie, everyone will be left with a deep impression of some of the soundtrack music.”
"So, the song that impressed me the most while watching the movie was probably the next one."
"The name of the song is "Brave Heart", let us invite you." Ye Xuanqi also left Jiang Yuan's name for the audience to shout out.
