At dusk, from Jiang Yuan's perspective, apart from high-rise buildings, the entire sky in the distance was divided into red and blue.

Half of it is blue sky, and the other half is fiery clouds dyed red by the setting sun.

Many buildings in the city center have lit up their lights, creating a scene of neon and nature intertwining.

Standing at the performance location, there is only a layer of glass guardrails to block it, and you can clearly feel the warm atmosphere of the audience downstairs in the air.

In front of me, even the surrounding streets were filled with spectators, and it was much more lively than before the celebration officially started.

Jiang Yuan stood at the center of the stage and placed his microphone on the stand.

And the moment Jiang Yuan finally made his appearance, the scene erupted with very enthusiastic cheers, and Jiang Yuan also caught a glimpse of where some of his fans were.

The weather has already entered autumn, and everyone has put on their coats, but the audience in Times Square remains enthusiastic.

Celine was one of them. When Jiang Yuan appeared in a denim suit, she couldn't help shouting Jiang Yuan's name loudly, along with the fans around her.

Coincidentally, Celine is also a fan who officially became a fan because of "World Song".

Celine, who was at a low point in her life at the time, watched Jiang Yuan perform "Believer" on the show. That performance was of great significance to her.

There was a feeling of gaining strength from singing, and then I followed "World Songs" all the way.

As I got deeper and deeper into the pit, although my life situation didn't make any huge improvement, my mentality actually improved a lot.

This time, the notice for "World Song" to perform for free in Times Square had just been posted on the Internet, and Celine paid attention to it.

After driving all the way to the scene, when I saw Jiang Yuan's figure appearing on the stage and the big screen at the scene, my whole body seemed to be shaken, giving me a sense of being separated from reality and illusory.

His eyes followed Jiang Yuan closely while listening to the discussions of the fans around him, and then he slowly calmed down.

“So handsome!”

"I wonder if there will be a new song performed today?"

"Why does this denim jacket look so good on him?"

"Ahhhhh!"

Just after she had calmed down a bit, Celine was brought back to the frantic state before watching Jiang Yuan's performance by the screams around her.

He looked up and saw that Jiang Yuan rolled up his sleeves a little and started to say hello.

"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Yuan!" Jiang Yuan shouted loudly and tried the microphone.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a lively response from the scene.

"Today's celebration has come to an end, and I will bring you the last song of the day." Jiang Yuan continued after listening to the scene.

"This song is also an important title song in my first English album. Today is the first time I sang it."

""Viva la vida", for everyone!"

Before the performance started, Jiang Yuan didn't chatter for too long. After a brief introduction, he turned around and gestured to the staff to indicate that the performance could begin.

The audience at the scene also burst into cheers after hearing Jiang Yuan announce the title of the song and the title of the new album.

The song Jiang Yuan will perform this time is from one of Coldplay's masterpieces, "Viva la vida".

The title of the song is Spanish, which directly translates to the meaning of "Long Live Life". It was inspired by the band's lead singer after seeing a painting created by 20th century artist Frida Kahlo.

The song also won the Grammy Award for Best Song of the Year in the year it was released, which is one of the reasons why Jiang Yuan chose this song as the main song of the album.

After Jiang Yuan turned his head to signal, the prelude of the song rang through the speakers.

As soon as the prelude of the song started, there were slightly exciting strings, and a circle of flashing lights began to appear as a frame around Jiang Yuan's stage picture on the big screen.

Like breathing, it flashes and fades with the rhythm of the strings.

At the beginning of the performance, Jiang Yuan put on an earphone, pulled the microphone stand and began to sway while listening to the rhythm, and the audience unconsciously began to nod their heads along with the bright melody.

"I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word,

Now in the morning I sleep alone,sweep the streets I used to own

(I once dominated this vast world, and huge waves surged because of me.

But now I sleep alone at dawn, wandering lonely in the streets that once belonged to me)"

Pulling the microphone and the stand to his mouth, Jiang Yuan started singing to the rhythm of the song, with a clear and magnetic tone.

The lyrics are written from the perspective of Louis XVI. They are like lyrics looking back on the past. With the melody and passionate accompaniment, it has a sense of déjà vu as the epic story begins.

"Everybody!"

After singing the opening four lines, during the interlude, Jiang Yuan raised his hand to the audience and said, "hands up!"

Then he stood on the spot and danced a few times to the rhythm of the drums, which led the entire audience to raise their hands and jump together, instantly turning the scene into a sea of ​​hands.

After getting the whole audience excited, Jiang Yuan stopped beating. Just as the interlude ended, Jiang Yuan continued singing the next section.

"I used to roll the dice,feel the fear in my enemy's eyes,

Listen as the crowd would sing, 'Now the old king is dead. Long live the king.'

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! (I once controlled the life and death of the world, tasted the terror in the eyes of my enemies, and listened to the crowd singing "The previous king is gone, long live the new king!")"

During Jiang Yuan's singing, the large screen at the scene also rarely added some animation special effects.

For example, the stage picture is framed in the form of an oil painting frame, which adds an epic quality to the entire performance.

“One minute I held the key,

Next the walls were closed on me.......

(At this moment, I hold the power meridian in my hand, and in an instant I realize that the palace walls are like the sea...)"

Under the background music, Jiang Yuan's singing progresses like a wave, and the vocals and accompaniment are perfectly integrated.

During the singing process, Jiang Yuan unconsciously started to throw away the microphone stand and began to dance lightly to the drum beat of the song.

The whole audience also maintained this frequency, raising their hands high and jumping along with the rhythm of the song.

The helicopter flew in the sky and recorded this shocking scene, just like a large-scale missionary site.

As the majestic bells rang in the accompaniment, Jiang Yuan's singing also entered the first chorus of the song.

“I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing,

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing.......

(Hear the bells ringing from Jerusalem, and the singing of the Roman cavalry shakes the mountains and the sea...)"

When Jiang Yuan's singing, accompanied by the passionate accompaniment, sounded throughout the square through the speakers, it was also as described in the lyrics, with a power that shook the mountains and seas, making the audience involuntarily drawn into the singing.

in the situation.

In a trance, it seems that I see the overlap of ancient historical scenes in this modern urban scene.

It was very impressive, both in Jiang Yuan's singing and in the response of the audience.

“Listening to it again, it’s still shocking!”

When the first chorus ended and entered the interlude, Paul couldn't help but express such emotion.

After this song was played in the demo listening session, Paul and others were already amazed.

At this time, it sounded on the scene, and in line with the atmosphere of the scene, it gave a sense of familiarity as a hymn to life.

This is obviously a track more suitable for live performance than in the studio.

At this time, Jiang Yuan was already immersed in his performance. After the interlude, the song progressed to the next section, as if the epic page had turned and entered the next chapter.

"It was the wicked and wild wind,

Blew down the doors to let me in……

(The cold and evil wind roared towards me, blowing away the heavy weight and leaving me in deep haze...)

It is obviously a sad poem, but when sung with a bright melody, it is even more powerful, like a bright light in a dark star.

Celine was in the crowd and unconsciously jumped up with her hands raised.

Strangely enough, the story clearly told by the lyrics seems to have little to do with me.

But just listening to this tune and watching Jiang Yuan's performance, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

“Just a puppet on a lonely string,Oh who would ever want to be?

(Just like a puppet swaying lonely on the string, how sad, who has ever wanted to be worshiped by thousands of people?) "

Halfway through the song, the audience's reaction completely matched the atmosphere of the celebration.

Tens of thousands of spectators jumped up and down in the streets driven by the song.

Lewis and others were making preparations while watching such a scene, and couldn't help but become a little excited.

After all, it is difficult to see a scene like a music festival on the street, and even the distant blocks can vaguely feel the atmosphere of the scene.

“…Be my mirror my sword andshield,My missionaries in a foreign field…

(Serve as my mirror, sword and shield, and my missionaries stand beyond the borders...)"

The chorus was sung again, and Jiang Yuan was already full of energy, holding the microphone like a king's scepter.
