Chapter 56 Curtain Call
"The melody, the lyrics... impeccable," a veteran music producer exclaimed, and several colleagues nearby nodded in agreement.
They've been in the music industry for many years and have listened to countless songs, but songs like Crescent Bay that fit the theme so perfectly are truly rare.
In this industry, everyone is saying the same thing: write the voices that the audience wants to hear. And isn't Crescent Bay the song that the audience wants to hear right now?
However, achieving this is easier said than done.
"He wrote this song while participating in the show, which means he only had a few days, right?"
"Yes, I watched the show, and he did finish it in just a few days."
Everyone was discussing this matter.
The next moment, someone took out their phone and searched for the name "Chen Yuan". Unsurprisingly, the trending topics were almost all about Chen Yuan, Lin Wanxing, Jiang Yichen and others.
As the last note faded, Chen Yuan stopped plucking the strings, and Jiang Yichen withdrew his hand from the keyboard. The three of them stood on the stage and bowed deeply to the audience.
The cheers erupted again, louder than ever before!
The shouts of 200,000 people made the stage seem to tremble slightly.
Looking at the densely packed crowd below the stage, Chen Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the immense potential that some songs could unleash under specific circumstances.
Is it possible that this song is even more powerful than Crescent Bay on Earth?
Chen Yuan felt that this little car was definitely going to trend on social media. If it still didn't make it to the top of the trending searches, he might as well just bury his head in the sand and suffocate himself.
The song "Crescent Bay," sung by Lin Wanxing, spread rapidly on the internet. In just over ten minutes, it dominated the trending charts of major music platforms and the recommendation pages of short video platforms.
The name Chen Yuan immediately caught the attention of the management of various music companies.
Licheng...
Seeing this crazy trend, Li Xin felt a bit dazed. In less than half a month, Chen Yuan's performance could be described as a complete transformation.
The question isn't whether Baiye Entertainment should eliminate him, but whether Chen Yuan is still willing to stay here.
Moreover, Li Xin had a premonition that this song, Crescent Bay Horror, still did not belong to White Night Entertainment.
"Hehe, this is really interesting." Li Xin smiled; everything that was happening now was beyond her expectations.
After bowing, the three of them slowly retreated backstage under the guidance of the host. As soon as they stepped off the stage, people surrounded them.
Everyone's faces were filled with undisguised surprise and admiration.
"Chen Yuan! You're amazing! If nothing unexpected happens, your song will be number one when people talk about the Dunhuang Music Festival in the future."
"Lin Wanxing is amazing! This live performance is even better than the CD recording!"
"Teacher Chen Yuan, your creative ability is amazing! You wrote such a hit song in just a few days. You are truly gifted!" Praises poured in like a tidal wave, surrounding the three of them.
Chen Yuan scratched his head and smiled, occasionally replying with a few words.
The group was surrounded for quite a while until staff came to disperse them, at which point they returned to their respective queues to wait.
The three said goodbye to the others and headed towards the rest area.
Suddenly, Dai Li caught up with him and walked straight up to Chen Yuan. Her tone was urgent and sincere: "Chen Yuan, I really like the song Crescent Bay. Name your price. I want to buy this song and use it as the title track of my next album."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it instantly quieted the surrounding noise, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Yuan.
"Buying the song? Well, this song might actually suit Dai Li quite well, since she's the lead singer of a band."
"Yes, Dai Li should be able to sing this song well too. She is a singer with great potential."
"....."
Listening to the people around him commenting on Dai Li, Chen Yuan thought that if he teamed up with Dai Li this time, he might actually give her a chance.
Not anymore.
Lin Wanxing also sang very well. Although she doesn't know how to form a band, she can temporarily assemble one to perform this song.
A song is not tied to the singer's style.
Just as Chen Yuan was about to speak, Lin Wanxing interrupted, "Sorry, Dai Li, I've already reserved this song."
Her tone was playful yet exceptionally firm: "I really like this song too, and I've decided to make it one of my signature works from now on."
Daly's expectant look vanished instantly, and she sighed regretfully, "Okay, I'm late."
She looked at Chen Yuan, a hint of resentment in her voice, "Chen Yuan, is there a chance I'd like to invite you to write a song for me?"
"Thank you for your recognition. I will consider it if there are suitable projects in the future," Chen Yuan replied politely.
Dai Li nodded, said nothing more, turned and squeezed out of the crowd, feeling unwilling.
She missed this song, and if she were to sing it, she doesn't think it would be any worse than Lin Wanxing's.
As soon as Dai Li left, Zhang Jianjian, Su Qingyuan, and others gathered around.
Zhang Jianjian exclaimed, "Chen Yuan! You're so unfair! You wrote such an amazing song without telling us! If it weren't for today's performance, we'd still be completely in the dark!"
"That's right," Su Qingyuan chimed in, "This song is so beautiful. The melody and lyrics are so catchy. I couldn't help but hum along backstage just now."
Ji Chengyu patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and muttered, "You really have a knack for this, Chen Yuan."
Chen Yuan's move was incredibly impressive; for the first time, Ji Chengyu felt like he was losing money as an actor.
If I were a singer, I might have even more fans, and acting is actually quite hard work.
Chen Yuan didn't want to boast too much, so he changed the subject, saying, "Your performances were all wonderful. Zhiyi's skit, Jianjian's performance, and Shuran and Qingyuan's program were all excellent."
After chatting for a while, the group went to the rest area to sit down.
The performance on stage continued, with melodious singing and energetic rhythms drifting over from time to time, and the cheers from the audience never ceasing.
Shortly after, the choir members went up to wrap things up, followed by the leader's closing speech.
Chen Yuan looked towards the stage, his heart at peace. The past two weeks felt like a dream.
As night deepened, the night breeze in Dunhuang dispelled the daytime heat and gradually calmed the enthusiasm of the audience.
Finally, at 10 p.m. sharp, the host returned to the stage, his voice tinged with a mixture of reluctance and excitement: "Dear audience members, wonderful times always pass too quickly. The Dunhuang Centennial Arts and Literature Festival and Music Festival are coming to a successful close!"
"Thank you to all the performers for their wonderful performances, and thank you to every audience member for coming!"
As the words fell, a soothing closing melody began to play on the stage, and all the guests who participated in the performance walked onto the stage one after another, forming a long queue to prepare for the curtain call.
Chen Yuan, Jiang Yichen, and Lin Wanxing were led by staff to the center of the queue, where they occupied the center position.
This position was originally reserved for the music festival leaders, but it has now been occupied by this temporary band.
This is enough to show how amazing and popular their performance was.
Two hundred thousand spectators erupted in enthusiastic cheers once again, and the applause lasted for a long time.
The crowd bowed deeply to the audience, again and again.
The lights illuminated everyone's faces, and Chen Yuan watched as the audience sitting on the slope waved their phone flashlights, which were quite dazzling.
After the curtain fell, surrounded by security personnel, the guests who had been captivated by the show for thirty days left the stage one after another.
The online live stream officially ended at this point, leaving viewers wanting more and flooding the comment section with messages.
It was almost 11 o'clock when we got back to the guesthouse.
