Chapter 994 Illusion
Although the venue was not big and there were not many seats, the atmosphere of the concert was very good and the support from Twice's male fans was unexpectedly enthusiastic.
There were waves of cheers from the very first stage. When it came to the self-introduction stage, all the fans cheered with all their might when each member was introduced. Each member received almost the same amount of cheers. There was no situation like Chou Tzuyu where the TOP cheers were loud but some back cheers were ignored.
It feels like many of them are group fans, and the fan atmosphere is very good...but the Aili group is now incomparable, with it being filled with toxic fans and becoming increasingly divided internally.
Although the level of the live performance still needs to be improved, with nine cute girls singing and dancing on the stage, and one of the girlfriends throwing a wink from time to time, the overall experience was quite good.
But... after listening to most of the talk, Chi Jingyuan discovered the problem.
It's really impressive that Twice held a concert more than a year after their debut, and the place was full, but... just like Chi Jingyuan complained before, Twice has only released three mini albums so far, and all of them added up can't even make up the average number of thirty songs in a concert.
Moreover, the number of hit songs is not enough. Up to now, the only popular songs are "Come on" and "TT". The debut song with special emotions can barely be considered... and the quality of other included songs is uneven, and their popularity is also much less.
This time, Twice really performed almost all the songs they had ever released. Chi Jingyuan listened for a long time, but found that he had hardly heard of half of the songs they performed.
It’s okay for fans, but the viewing experience of passers-by may be a little lower.
Even so, when the concert was more than halfway through, Twcie was running out of songs. The only hit song left that had not been performed yet was "TT". They had sung almost all the songs in their album, and had to save a few for the second half. They really had no other songs in stock.
What should I do at this time? I can't just sit there on the stage and watch the VCR, right?
If you don’t have any songs of your own, why not just sing other people’s songs?
COVER stage is here!
"Someone called the doctor and caught me and told me."
"Love is nothing but a disease, it's an overdose~"
The originally light and cute style and accompaniment suddenly changed, and the powerful melody resounded throughout the venue. EXO's 2014 mini title song "Addicted" was played at Twice's concert.
Although this song cannot be considered a hit classic, it was a hit song for a while at the time and ranked very well on the annual charts. Many people have heard it thanks to EXO's name.
The important thing is that the girl group's cover of the boy group's dance is really novel and interesting, so when the music started, all the fans became excited and the howling of wolves was endless.
Chi Jingyuan's attention was focused on Ming Jingnan.
The girlfriend was dancing his part, acting handsome and cool on the stage, doing the classic drum choreography from "Addicted". Sana Minatozaki, who was kneeling in front of her, shook her head to cooperate with her, and the few of them coordinated well.
And it’s obvious at first glance that Ming Jingnan has practiced hard and must have studied Ji Jingyuan’s MV or straight shots, because when she was covering, she deliberately imitated some of Ji Jingyuan’s tilted head movements, squinting expressions, etc.
Those are not actually part of the choreography, they are just Chi Jingyuan’s own stage habits.
When it came to the second chorus, Ming Jingnan stepped to the front, puffed out his cheeks, and tapped his face with his two index fingers. At the same time, he looked towards Chi Jingyuan to cover up his mistake, and his eyes were as clear as water under his exquisite eye makeup.
However, it also made the fans at the scene scream in delight, as this kind of boy group dance cover stage is rarely seen under normal circumstances.
After "Addicted", there is a special stage for "really really".
"really reaaly really reaaly ~"
This song is incredibly popular, and since Yu Jeongyeon was one of the participants, almost everyone present had heard it. As soon as the music started, the whole audience immediately sang along.
The original four-person choreography was expanded to a nine-person version. The nine members of Twice did not line up on the stage, but stood separately at the service counter, each facing one direction of the audience, trying to give a passionate performance to all the audience.
Coincidentally, the person facing Chi Jingyuan and the others at this time was Lin Nayeon.
Pursing his lips, Chi Jingyuan glanced past Lin Nayeon who was standing in front of him and winking artificially, and deliberately looked at the people next to him.
However, as he looked...his gaze involuntarily drifted to Lin Nayeon, who was nearest to him.
The short skirt fluttered, the body stretched, the big wavy hair and half-exposed earrings swayed.
Hiss~ Still dancing well?
She has a well-proportioned figure, smooth movements, healthy energy and a bright smile... and most importantly, she makes people feel that she is really relaxed and has a sense of ease. Different from the original version who was cold and cool, she is bright and enthusiastic, and has her own style.
This kind of confidence and clarity is really contagious.
It’s really amazing that an idol can influence the audience through his/her performance and bring positive emotions to fans.
Zhou Ziyu next to her is prettier than her, but people can’t help but keep their eyes on her.
"I like you~"
Entering the chorus stage, which is also the magical pistol dance segment of "really really", I don't know if it was intentional, but Lin Nayeon, who was facing this side just now, suddenly turned her body sideways, put her hands in the shape of a pistol, and poked her index finger, but pointed the muzzle of the gun in the direction where Ji Jingyuan and the others were sitting.
While dancing, she sang the lyrics with a smile on her face.
"really reaaly really reaaly ~"
"I like you~"
Her sunny and cute smile coupled with the meaningful lyrics made the male fans who were touched by her finger go crazy. The chubby boy in the back row behind Ji Jingyuan wanted to jump up and shouted "Nayeon Nayeon" which made him feel like he was about to cry. He wanted to rush onto the stage and show his heart to this girl with rabbit teeth.
Seeing Lin Nayeon dancing to his part in "Really Really", poking and shooting at this side, Ji Jingyuan also shook the light stick in his hand and clicked his lips lightly.
A concert is indeed a place that can further amplify the charm of idols. The lights flicker in the sky between dim and bright, the explosive music roars in the ears in the circular design of the venue, countless glow sticks shine in the darkness, and cheers rise and fall.
On the stage, there is perfect lighting, exquisite makeup and gorgeous costumes, pretty faces and attractive figures, and overflowing enthusiasm.
Various factors came together to make the people in it completely immersed in this atmosphere. Even Chi Jingyuan, who was used to seeing beauties and was very familiar with all the people in Twice, couldn't help but have a layer of filter at this time. It really felt that no matter who he looked at, everyone became much more beautiful.
In this situation, even Nayeon became... a little more pleasing to the eye. Even when she was in the same frame with Chou Tzuyu, he inexplicably felt that "Nayeon was not at a disadvantage." Even those little expressions and winks that seemed very artificial before didn't seem awkward at all.
An illusion must be an illusion.
Even shooting~Female idols are good at teasing.
Chi Jingyuan was secretly complaining in his heart.
But this stage is really enjoyable. From what I have seen till now, this special stage of "Really Really" is the most exciting performance of tonight's concert...
Although it sounds a bit strange that the most exciting performance of Twice's concert is not their own song...but he really thinks so.
The interest was suddenly raised again, and the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak because of these two special stages.
The atmosphere of the next few stages was extremely good, but after "TT" and the interactive session, Twice's songs were almost all used up. Just when Chi Jingyuan thought they would come up with some surprises or some more exciting special stages.
...They actually stood on the stage, watched the VCR, and became sentimental.
This fanning... lasted for more than half an hour...
…………
Although Chi Jingyuan was dissatisfied with the fact that Twice used VCR to fill up the concert time, and instead of focusing on the stage, they kept giving sentimental performances.
However, it can be seen that this trick has a very good effect on the fans. When the VCR was played just now, many fans couldn't hold back their tears. Now after the concert, many male fans were still reluctant to leave, and they were discussing their Rabbit Baby's wonderful performance and touching words with red faces. Everyone looked excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
After the concert ended, Ji Jingyuan and a few others waited for a while. Almost all the audience had left. Jiang Seulgi communicated with Yu Jeongyeon. The few people waited at the backstage entrance for less than two minutes. Yu Jeongyeon walked over quickly and led them into the backstage.
We didn't go to the lounge, but just stopped at the Twice concert logo in the backstage hall and started chatting casually.
"Oppa, what do you think?"
Just after saying a few words, Yu Jeongyeon asked excitedly, looking like she was asking for praise.
Chi Jingyuan glanced at the sweat on her head and the blush on her face. The excitement from singing and dancing for almost two hours was still on her face, so he didn't say the complaints in his heart. Instead, he gave her a thumbs up with a sincere face: "Very good, very beautiful..."
"Why are you so hypocritical? That's not what you said at the concert just now."
But Wu Se-hun immediately exposed Chi Jingyuan. He sneered, looked at Yu Jeongyeon and said directly and mercilessly: "He kept nagging for a long time during the concert just now, saying that the venue was small, the lighting was bad, and whether it was a concert or a sensational party..."
"After watching the final encore, someone said something like 'A song can be sung twice in a concert? Can JYP still cheat people like this?'"
This hangman told Chi Jingyuan bit by bit what he had just complained about. Chi Jingyuan didn't expect that he could remember it so clearly.
During the encore stage, Twice, who had no songs left, actually performed their three most popular songs, "Elegant", "Cheer Up" and "TT", which they had already sung once. This action stunned Chi Jingyuan.
...Why don’t you just perform these three songs throughout the show?
Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, it was still a bit awkward when it was exposed in front of Yu Jeongyeon.
...Ji Jingyuan glanced at Wu Sehun indifferently. Jiang Seqi couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed after hearing it.
"Oppa~ why do you say that?"
Yu Jeongyeon was so happy and delighted when she heard the compliment, but suddenly realized that it was just a polite remark. She was stunned for a second, then frowned and couldn't help but complain to Chi Jingyuan: "It's the first time, and I'm not well prepared in many places... But can't you look at the good side~ It's all shortcomings, isn't there anything good that you think is good?"
I was originally very happy about the successful conclusion of this concert and felt that my first concert performed well... Unexpectedly, I was immediately hit hard by Chi Jingyuan's honest evaluation.
"Don't listen to what he says. The lighting and the songs are secondary. The most important thing is the stage. It's actually pretty good." Feeling that his previous comments seemed a bit hurtful, Chi Jingyuan quickly made amends, thinking about the performance he just saw and commented: "The makeup and styling are good, and they all look good on stage, very energetic."
"Hmm..." He thought for a moment and added, "Although there are some deliberately sentimental parts, the emotions are also sincere."
They cried so ugly, some of them even had snot bubbles coming out of their noses, and their whole faces were wrinkled like pumpkins. It would be unacceptable if they were not sincere.
"Hmm~"
This comment made Yu Jeongyeon feel a little better, but she noticed the words in Chi Jingyuan's words, her eyes turned, and she looked at him with a smile and asked, "It looks good? Then, Oppa, who do you think looks the best on the stage today and left the deepest impression on you?"
Just after she finished speaking, she immediately blocked Chi Jingyuan's retreat: "Except Mina~ Oh, yes, except Tzuyu~"
Jiang Shiqi, who was originally smiling, blinked inwardly when she heard this.
Except Mina, she understands...Except Chou Tzuyu, why...
Some associations suddenly came to her mind, and her gaze when she looked at Chi Jingyuan became a little strange.
"Forehead……"
Without noticing the changes around him, Chi Jingyuan was somewhat stumped by this question.
If we really want to say who looked the most dazzling at Twice's concert today and who left the deepest impression on him...
To be honest, apart from Ming Jingmin and Zhou Ziyu, who had some emotional factors, the one who impressed me the most was Lim Nayeon.
First of all, the stage performance of "Really Really" was really cool and comfortable to watch. Apart from that, the whole concert was very good, full of energy and enthusiasm. She showed her big teeth everywhere but it didn't make people feel disgusted. Instead, it gave people a friendly feeling. She sang and danced on the stage and it felt like vitality itself. In addition, several sets of clothes were quite suitable for her...
Especially in all Twice's songs, a considerable part of them are Lin Nayeon's parts. After watching it, Ji Jingyuan's real feeling is that if EXO's concert is short of one or two people, it will not have much impact. The seats can be vacated and other people can sing the parts instead, even him.
But if Twice's Nayeon didn't come, the concert probably wouldn't have gone ahead.
…But then again, is it really okay for others to have so many parts for her alone? Even Kim Taeyeon doesn’t dare to do this in the team.
The scene of Lim Nayeon shooting at him just now reflexively appeared in front of him, but Ji Jingyuan hesitated for a moment and did not say that it was his real feeling. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, haha, pretending to be careless: "They are all beautiful, they are all beautiful, Jeongyeon you are the most beautiful..."
"You're so cunning, Oppa!"
Yu Jeongyeon could see that Chi Jingyuan was not sincere and asked unhappily, "Who is it?"
But no matter how much he asked, Chi Jingyuan just smiled and laughed it off.
No matter what, he would never praise that buck tooth... Although the relationship has eased a little now, and Lim Nayeon seems to have turned over a new leaf, but she doesn't really think that he has forgotten that those buck teeth have discredited him for several years, right?
And maybe now she is just correcting on the surface. Female idols are always one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. They are the best at deceiving people.
After getting nothing, Yu Jeongyeon gave up asking, but rolled her eyes as if she was planning something. After a few more words, Jiang Seulgi called out, "...Come on, let's take a picture."
Yu Jeongyeon quickly handed her phone to an assistant next to her and asked her to help take a picture. Then the four of them stood in front of the Twice concert logo. Ji Kyung-won and Oh Sehun stood on the left and right sides, and he still had his signature scissors hand gesture. The two girls stood in the middle, Kang Seul-gi gave a thumbs up, and Yu Jeongyeon hugged Kang Seul-gi's other arm intimately.
Click, and this beautiful picture was recorded.
“It’s a great photo.”
When Yu Jeongyeon took the phone and looked at it, she immediately smiled with satisfaction and was even a little moved.
Ji Jingyuan and the other two were dressed casually, wearing baseball caps and no makeup, but she was wearing a stage costume and exquisite makeup. Seeing the four of them, Yu Jeongyeon immediately thought of the period of "Really Really".
I was really lucky to be able to collaborate on that song last year. The increase in popularity seems secondary now. The most important thing is that I met some really good friends.
"Oppa, I sent it to the group." Yu Jeongyeon said while tapping her phone.
Chi Jingyuan looked at the photos in the group and clicked save: "The photos are pretty good... I'll post them on Instagram later."
“Jeongyeon is so beautiful~”
Jiang Seulgi praised him in amazement, which made Yu Jeongyeon feel a little embarrassed. Then she looked at Ji Kyungwon and said, "You have more than 20 million followers on Instagram. I don't think you manage it well. How did you do it?"
"You just didn't see me when I was running the business."
Chi Jingyuan shrugged pretentiously, then thought of something and asked Yu Jeongyeon casually, "Come to think of it, why don't you Twice have your own Instagram account? You've been debuted for more than a year."
"I want to, too." Yu Jeongyeon sighed helplessly, "But the company won't allow it for now. They say it's for the development of the group and unified management..."
Wu Se-hun curled his lips and said, "Why is this not allowed? We have our own personal Instagram since our debut."
"But we all have our own small accounts and visit them frequently... but we don't have many fans..."
"…We're going to have a meal later. Jeongyeon, you can't go, right? Aren't your parents and sister here?"
"I really want to go. My parents said they've already had lunch at noon... Mainly because I have to go back for a meeting later, and maybe a dinner party."
"It's normal. We have to summarize after the concert..."
As a few people were talking, Chi Jingyuan and his companions looked at the time and were about to leave when suddenly a sound of light footsteps was heard.
Turning around, I saw Zhou Ziyu walking towards me with her mother in the corridor on the side, followed by a shorter girl who looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old.
When Zhou Ziyu saw Chi Jingyuan discovered them, she grinned at him from a distance.
