Nolan Sinclair hesitated at first when Mia Sutton and her team chose this song because he had composed it himself, and thus knew its level of difficulty.
However, after Mia later shared her ideas with him, he agreed.
Mia had said at the ti: "Sorrow shouldn’t be like this; it should also encapsulate the helplessness of watching people’s hos vanish in the flas of war."
Nolan gazed at her steadily for a long ti, knowing Mia wasn’t wrong; that was exactly his original intention when he first created it.
So, after so hesitation, he agreed with her idea.
The song Sorrow was then adapted.
And because he had attempted that version before, he was able to complete the adaptation so quickly after Mia proposed it.
The reason for incorporating elents of opera was because, during a break in filming, he took a look at so of Mia’s stage videos.
After seeing her perform Peking Opera on the Swordswoman stage, the idea of adding opera singing to this song suddenly flashed in his mind; perhaps it would make the effect even more stunning.
As it turned out, his idea was spot on; when the opera singing was added, it was as if the piece was imbued with a soul.
It was as if, amidst the chaos of war, perforrs were expressing their sorrow in their unique way.
However, the only regret during the adaptation of the song was that the male singer collaborating with Mia couldn’t reach the original pitch, so Nolan had to adjust the lody once more unwillingly.
Originally, it was ant for Mia’s part to combine with the original version of Sorrow, creating a balance of strength and softness, blending hope within the tragedy.
That was his initial vision, but realizing that although Mia could perform it perfectly, her partners couldn’t, they had no choice but to compromise.
Even though the final result seed a bit flawed, Nolan was satisfied.
Especially with Mia, who truly surprised everyone.
The presentation on stage was exceptional.
To be more precise, her stage presence was incredibly resonant; she could transport the audience into the world depicted by the song, showcasing her complete mastery over the stage akin to a professional singer, with excellent performance managent adding greatly to her appeal.
The mont a tear fell, even he couldn’t help but feel the sadness.
Mia truly astounded him. Nolan’s light-colored eyes focused on the stage, resting on the girl, his lips slightly pursed.
When the host ca on stage, they praised Mia Sutton’s group performance, with the voice in their earpiece from the director instructing them to complint the Sorrow stage even more.
Because during Mia’s group’s performance, the online livestream audience numbers soared, and the popularity was extrely high with comnts and gifts flooding in.
All this traffic was brought by the Sorrow stage, hence the extended praise from the host.
...
Backstage, looking at the data, the director was very pleased. Although their previous traffic was not bad, it never reached these levels.
The other artists selected were good, but compared with previous years, there wasn’t much difference. The biggest variable this year was Mia Sutton.
Anyone who looked could see who was behind the recent surge in popularity of the past few livestreams.
Because of this, the director felt a pang of regret knowing Mia would leave after a couple of episodes, realizing that Mia was a significant source of traffic now.
But understanding Mia’s situation, preparing for exams, they couldn’t halt the show until Mia was finished.
Being an elimination format, they knew that with Mia’s talent she’d make it to the end, but reserving a spot for her wouldn’t be fair to others.
It would be unfair to others, having no stage presence but still holding a place would lead to backlash from viewers.
The producers were in a difficult position.
The director sat in the chair, eyes still glued to the numbers on the computer screen, feeling the pain.
Suddenly, after thinking of sothing, his eyes lit up and he said, "There’s another variety show in the works for spring next year, we can invite Mia Sutton then."
Considering Mia’s current popularity, her abilities, and her appearance, as long as she doesn’t make any fundantal mistakes, she’s destined for stardom.
With this realization, the director imdiately decided to contact Mia’s agent as soon as this show ended to secure a collaboration.
The livestream was still ongoing; despite two performances ending, there was still the ntors’ overview left.
For other programs, the two ntors briefly ntioned the pros and cons of their stages without spending much ti, but when it ca to Mia’s group’s Sorrow stage, guided by Nolan Sinclair, he didn’t say much.
However, Heather Holloway took the mic and spoke at length, even though Mia wasn’t in his group, he showered her with praises.
He truly adored that stage; this was the first to bring Nolan Sinclair’s Sorrow to this new level of adaptation, with Mia demonstrating remarkable skill even with Nolan’s assistance.
At the end, the initially sorrowful comnts section erupted in laughter.
[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, look at Mia’s expression, is she bewildered by the praise, totally lost.]
[Oh no, my tears are worthless, I was heartbroken, but now I’m laughing so hard.]
[Mia: Mr. Holloway, please, praise soone else, I can’t handle it.]
[Hahaha, Mia’s current expression could beco an emoji.]
After the livestream ended, netizens edited Sorrow into short videos and posted them online, sparking widespread discussion, even increasing the original play count of Nolan Sinclair’s version.
Montarily, this variety show was unmatched in attention, even the cut daily clips were quite amusing.
Mia Sutton’s fan count was climbing quickly.
The initial two-stage performances were over, aning the first round of eliminations would proceed, but naturally, Mia wasn’t on that list.
However, since she’d participate in at most two more episodes, after discussions with Mia’s agent, the producers decided to issue a statent on Weibo explaining the situation.
Otherwise, fans might waste efforts voting, while Mia couldn’t continue recording, potentially wasting their dedication, hence the preemptive announcent.
In the upcoming elimination round, they didn’t need to exert as much effort voting for Mia, they could simply enjoy the performances.
