Chapter 50 Backstage
The three then followed the staff to the costume area, where Chen Yuan was surprised to see the racks filled with all kinds of performance costumes.
Jiang Yichen and Lin Wanxing were used to this kind of scene and walked over first, with the live broadcast camera closely following behind them.
Lin Wanxing immediately spotted a silver sequined dress with tassels at the hem that swayed gently with her movements: "This is so beautiful! It would definitely be amazing on stage!"
Jiang Yichen chose a black casual suit with a white printed T-shirt underneath, which was both formal and casual: "This is more in line with the style of a choral piece." After the two made their choices, they turned to look at Chen Yuan.
Immediately, both of them fell silent.
Chen Yuan was dressed in all black, a black T-shirt and black cargo pants.
The logo of Black Horse Motors is prominent; it's less like clothing and more like the company uniform of Black Horse Motors.
Jiang Yichen and Lin Wanxing were familiar with this car brand, which is now a well-known brand in the automotive market.
At this moment, everyone else also noticed Chen Yuan's attire.
Although his strange work clothes didn't detract from his handsomeness, they certainly had a rather wicked sense of humor.
"Chen Yuan, where did you pick out these clothes?" Mingfeng, a colleague from the performance team, asked curiously.
Dai Li and the others also noticed Chen Yuan's situation. When they saw Chen Yuan's clothes, they all found them inexplicably funny.
"Wait, could this be sponsorship from Black Horse Motors?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, as expected of Brother Yuan, he even got sponsorships." Dai Li's little follower looked surprised.
Chen Yuan gave an awkward laugh. The sponsor probably didn't want him to spend 300,000 yuan to make a joke, did they? If so, why would he need to write about Crescent Bay?
Wearing this would definitely make it a trending topic.
"Alright, let's go get our makeup done," Lin Wanxing said, calling Chen Yuan to go to the dressing room together.
"You have good taste, Chen Yuan! This suits you perfectly!" Lin Wanxing said with a smile.
"..."
"You'd better be serious," Chen Yuan said quietly.
"Even though it's work clothes, as long as you're handsome, it's not a big problem." Lin Wanxing patted his shoulder, offering a rare word of comfort.
At this moment, the comments section was filled with similar sentiments.
"Chen Yuan's overalls are alright, but he looks so handsome!"
"Lin Wanxing and Jiang Yichen look so youthful together."
"Speaking of which, the three of them are a band that was formed temporarily. What songs will they sing?"
"Are there any people in the live stream? Go get a few autographs..."
Before long, the three of them sat down at their respective dressing stations.
It was Chen Yuan's first time wearing makeup, and he didn't know what to do, so he simply sat and waited for instructions.
The makeup artist quickly stepped forward and began working.
Lin Wanxing closed her eyes, letting the makeup artist apply makeup to her face, while chatting with Chen Yuan beside her: "Chen Yuan, does this song have any image-related requirements?"
"For example, dressing up like someone chanting scriptures?"
Chen Yuan looked at himself in the mirror and thought for a moment: "No need for anything too complicated, just a simple tidying up will do. This outfit already matches you very well."
"Oh, that's good." Lin Wanxing nodded slightly and then quieted down.
Jiang Yichen sat on the other side, occasionally exchanging a few words with the makeup artist about the details of the makeup, such as not making the eyeliner too heavy and making the lipstick more natural.
Chen Yuan was being done by a beautiful woman. She paused for a moment after seeing his attire before starting to do her makeup.
During the makeup process, other guests also arrived backstage one after another.
The members of Dai Li's group walked in chatting and laughing. Dai Li had chosen a red off-shoulder dress, exuding a powerful aura.
The Mingfeng group all chose black rock-style outfits, which looked very imposing.
After everyone greeted each other, their eyes couldn't help but linger on each other's costumes for a moment. After all, this was the first time they had performed together on such a big stage, and everyone wanted to show their best.
"Chen Yuan, what style is this song 'Crescent Bay' that you chose?" Dai Li couldn't help but ask curiously as she passed by Chen Yuan's makeup station.
The guests from the other groups also looked over, clearly indicating that everyone still remembered this incident.
Chen Yuan, with his eyes closed, replied, "You'll find out soon enough."
The live stream camera captured this moment, and the chat exploded instantly.
"Crescent Bay?"
"What's going on? They want to sing 'Crescent Bay,' is there even such a song?"
"Could it be a song that Jiang Yichen wrote for this?"
"It's very possible, 666, it might even be a song co-written by Chen Yuan and Jiang Yichen."
The viewers in the live stream were incredibly curious, many of whom had been watching Chen Yuan's live stream all along.
It has to be said that Chen Yuan always manages to surprise them.
Lin Wanxing chimed in, "The three of us are the coolest guys tonight."
Jiang Yichen nodded. He knew how much potential this song had. It was a pity that Chen Yuan hadn't been able to finish the arrangement of "Fingerprint," otherwise he planned to sing it.
While the performance group was bustling with activity, the other groups were also in full swing, with each of the several live-streaming rooms attracting millions of viewers.
Besides the hottest trio of Chen Yuan, Lin Wanxing, and Jiang Yichen, the second hottest one right now is Xu Zhiyi.
Upon learning that she was going to perform a skit, many viewers watched her live stream.
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was past 11 a.m. The square was already warming up outside, and many spectators had come here after having lunch.
The market was packed with people, and before it even opened, tourists were spending money like crazy.
By this time, the three of them had finished their makeup and hairstyling. When they stood together again after putting on their clothes, even the staff couldn't help but be impressed.
Lin Wanxing's silver sequined dress sparkled under the lights, Jiang Yichen's black suit exuded composure and handsomeness, while Chen Yuan's black workwear looked full of energy. The three had different styles, yet they were inexplicably harmonious.
The live stream camera gave the three a close-up, and the chat was instantly flooded with comments like "amazing" and "so pleasing to the eye."
Chen Yuan looked at himself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and the tension in his heart was gradually replaced by anticipation. He had to admit that, ignoring his clothes, he actually looked quite handsome.
He turned to look at Jiang Yichen and Lin Wanxing. The two of them standing together were a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
"Should we eat first?" Chen Yuan asked.
"Of course!" Lin Wanxing nodded vigorously. "If you don't eat, you won't have any energy left until evening, right?"
Jiang Yichen chimed in, "It seems like someone delivered it. We've finished eating, so it's about time to start warming up."
At this moment, a staff member's voice came over the backstage loudspeaker: "Attention guests, there is still half an hour before the warm-up segment. Please get ready and proceed to the side of the stage in ten minutes for a final simple rehearsal."
"Then we'll have lunch. The DJ team can prepare in advance."
The three exchanged a glance, straightened their clothes, and walked toward the side of the stage.
Two hundred thousand viewers...
A stunning scene unfolded at Crescent Bay Square.
On the main stage not far away, staff were still making final adjustments. The sounds of instruments drifted in intermittently, mingling with the cheers of music fans in the distance. The curtain was slowly rising on the Dunhuang Music Festival.
