Chapter 15 Performance
Chapter 15 Performance
"Isn't it about time?"
At the village entrance, Chen Hong glanced at her watch and whispered to the assistant director beside her.
"Alright, alright, the cabin is ready and they're on their way here." The assistant director nodded.
"That's good. If it had been any later, I'm afraid the live streamers would have given me a real dressing down." Chen Hong nodded with a wry smile.
Why did she say that? Because just now, after she said in the living room that she would have these guests perform, she cut off all the live broadcast cameras in the cabin to increase anticipation.
Now all the cameras on the live streaming platforms are pointed at her.
This approach definitely boosted the popularity of the live stream, and viewers were indeed very excited.
However, she was indeed severely criticized.
[Where's the director? Where's my live stream? I was admiring Wanwan's stunning beauty! What happened to me?!]
[Director, you're good at creating suspense, but the way you're doing it... please send my regards to your family!]
[Does anyone know the director's address? I'd like to send her some local specialties. /laughs]
Even though she wasn't watching the chat, she could feel the resentment towards Chen Hong in the live stream.
Fortunately, before the resentment in the live stream exploded, Xu An, Bai Ge, and the others finally arrived, albeit late.
Upon seeing their arrival, Chen Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signaled the assistant director to point the live broadcast camera at the stage.
When the live stream switched to the stage, the audience realized that the performance was about to begin and became excited.
[Here it comes! The show's starting! Get your snacks, peanuts, and bottled water ready!]
Goodness, this stage is a bit sloppy; it looks like the wedding stage in our village.
[This was probably a temporary setup; having a stage at all is already quite good.]
The comments section was filled with complaints about the rudimentary setup of the event, but the discussion gradually subsided after a girl with a guitar slowly walked onto the stage.
Instead, gasps of surprise rang out.
[Wanwan! Wanwan's first appearance, is that some kind of big deal?]
[You really think the pop star is joking with you?]
[Listen to music!]
Most people's attention was focused on Shen Wanwan's stage outfit.
Shen Wanwan wore a light blue dress, held a guitar, and sat quietly on a high stool in the center of the stage.
The color was very light, not intense, just like the feeling she gave off. The dress had no complicated decorations, only a slight tightening at the waist, outlining a simple curve. The skirt was made of layered chiffon, hanging down to just above the ankles.
She wasn't wearing high heels, but rather a pair of off-white flat sandals with thin ribbons tied around her ankles in a small bow.
The soft moonlight shone on her, making her look like a mermaid princess in the sea.
Shen Wanwan stretched out her slender hand and adjusted the microphone in front of her. Then, a soft guitar melody began to play, and a gentle voice came from her lips.
She sang a song about mothers.
When I was little
You always do it after I fall asleep
Come to my room
……
Shen Wanwan's voice is very gentle, not the kind of tearing singing style, but like coaxing a baby to sleep, every word is wrapped in body warmth.
Below the stage, Xu An listened quietly to Shen Wanwan's singing, his face unusually free of any frivolous expression, but rather he listened very attentively.
He finally understood why Shen Wanwan, who was younger than him, was already a well-known rising star in the industry.
The answer lies in the abundant emotion and unparalleled infectiousness of the song.
Even someone as seasoned as him, whose age spans past and present lives, felt a ripple of emotion upon hearing this song.
And what about the others?
As expected, the venue suddenly fell silent when the song ended, and many of the villagers and staff members in the audience had tears in their eyes.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments, like a dam bursting.
[This performance brought tears to my eyes, even though I'm a grown man! The emotional impact is incredible; she truly deserves to be called a pop diva!]
[Waaaaah, this song makes me miss home and my mom!]
[Wanwan is in such a good mood, she probably misses her mom.]
Seeing how engrossed everyone was in the moment, Chen Hong secretly sensed something was wrong.
Shen Wanwan's emotional outburst was so powerful that if the next person can't keep up, it could easily become an awkward silence!
Fortunately, Chen Hong's worries did not come true.
Next up was Zhang Lin, dressed in a long gown and holding a gavel.
It seems they really intend to perform crosstalk.
Zhang Lin's performance experience is not just empty talk; he knows that everyone is still immersed in the previous emotions and can't get out of it.
So he started by telling a few jokes, and sure enough, everyone present was amused before he officially began his stand-up comedy routine.
He spoke slowly, but his delivery was quite effective, occasionally throwing out a joke that had everyone in the audience laughing heartily.
The comments section was also filled with laughter.
[This is hilarious! Uncle Zhang's crosstalk is really good; he seems quite skilled. Isn't he an actor?]
[You don't understand, do you? Uncle Zhang previously acted in a period drama set in the Republican era, where he played a crosstalk comedian. To prepare for the role, he specifically sought out someone to train him for a period of time.]
[Yes, yes, he even formally became an apprentice!]
Zhang Lin's performance completely reignited the somewhat subdued atmosphere, and when Jiang Zhaoyue took the stage, the atmosphere reached its peak.
Xu An looked at Jiang Zhaoyue's outfit on stage. Although he had seen it once before, he couldn't help but be amazed.
Jiang Zhaoyue's outfit wasn't as flashy as it would be on the actual stage. She wore a beige short knitted cardigan over a white tank top, revealing her delicate collarbones.
Her lower body was covered by a gray pleated mini skirt with a very short hem, but she wore black safety shorts underneath.
She wore white mid-calf socks and black leather shoes.
The mid-calf socks slightly constricted Jiang Zhaoyue's fair and smooth legs, adding a touch of allure.
Her entire outfit exudes youthful energy, resembling the vibrant and charming senior you've always had a crush on.
She seemed very approachable, but when the music started and Jiang Zhaoyue smiled, Xu An felt as if she were glowing.
Jiang Zhaoyue's smile wasn't the kind of posed, standard smile; it was a genuine smile that had been held back for a long time and was finally able to be released. Her eyes curved into crescents, her eye bags bulged out, and the corners of her mouth stretched to the sides, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.
Then she began her rhythmic and energetic dance.
Jiang Zhaoyue's movements were not intense, but they were full of power. Her leg raises, kicks, arm swings, and side flips were all perfectly timed.
During the chorus, she even performed a difficult one-handed side flip, a perfect combination of beauty and power.
Seeing that clean and crisp roll, and recalling that infectious smile just now, Xu An couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Are the idols from Xia Kingdom in this world really that powerful?
Thinking of Jiang Zhaoyue, who was clueless and forgetful when picking vegetables, and then looking at the stage goddess who was now exuding charm, Xu An felt an incredible contrast.
As for the live stream room, it had completely gone crazy by this point.
[Aaaaaah! I'm obsessed with the moon, I'm crazy about the moon, I'd bang my head against a wall for the moon!]
【Zhaoyue, my goddess, how can I live without you! /crying】
[I'm going to record the screen, I'm going to record it all!]
