This episode, [Nan XiangWan] was drawn to perform first, a rare opportunity to open the show that made [Xiao Dong] extrely nervous.
She accompanied [Nan XiangWan] from the backstage all the way, cheering her on the entire ti.
[Xiao Dong]: "Go [Nan XiangWan]! [Nan XiangWan] the invincible! [Nan XiangWan] go wild!"
[Nan XiangWan] raised an eyebrow and spread her arms open.
[Xiao Dong] imdiately put on her a huge red cloak, carefully covering her entire body, pulling the hood over to cover most of her face.
On stage, [Guan Liangzhe] was hyping up the audience during the countdown.
This episode, [Nan XiangWan] did not need any stage preparation or props.
Everything was on her, including the custom microphone given by Gu Beihuai.
However, the barrage comnts were very ssy at this ti. Other than the fans that ca every week, there were many more antis today.
Barrage comnts:
"[Nan XiangWan] can still participate in the show? The backstage must be huge!"
"I want to see how this woman performs today, her ntality must be blown up!"
"[Nan XiangWan] beca famous too young and too fast, she's arrogant and impatient."
"She didn't dare to be so stubborn online before she beca famous! She's gotten arrogant since becoming popular!"
...
Her fans wanted to retort but there were too many comnts attacking her that they couldn't respond to them all.
At the sa ti, many people were waiting for [Nan XiangWan] to embarrass herself, best scenario would be a stage accident, her fans were afraid that [Nan XiangWan] would be affected by this and beco ntally unstable, unable to sing well or crack her voice.
At this ti, [Nan XiangWan] signaled from the backstage that she was ready.
After [Guan Liangzhe] received the signal, he quickly went off stage. The lights on stage dimd and the surroundings beca quiet.
The live audience quietly waited in anticipation, in the front row center of the spectator stand, [Jie Chou] held up a [Nan XiangWan] personal lightstick.
No matter how fierce the online battles beca, he insisted on showing his support on cara!
[Jie Chou] knew things he couldn't share externally. Moreover, the scope of information he could access in his job already counted as having heavenly sight. The only thing he could do was show his support.
Other audience mbers around him wished they could give him a big thumbs up. This guy was gutsy. Were all [Nan XiangWan] fans diehard iron fans?
Things were in chaos online, including the barrage comnts for this show being flooded, yet she didn't lose a single fan!
Deputy Director [Tao Kongyan] doesn't usually pay attention to entertainnt news. At his age, he really isn't interested in idols or whatever.
But his son was about to start university soon. [Tao Kongyan] thought that since father and son rarely get to et now, he would accompany his son to watch the weekly show "The Singer" that he always watches.
Little did he expect to see a familiar face on the screen every ti they did a close up.
[Jie Chou] held up [Nan XiangWan]'s lightstick high towards the cara, furiously making gestures that showed he was very experienced and not his first ti being captured on cara.
[Tao Kongyan] spurted out the water he was drinking on the spot!
His son looked back at him in shock: "Dad, what's wrong?"
[Tao Kongyan] coughed twice, his face extrely ugly.
This little brat [Jie Chou]! Was he looking to die!
But [Tao Kongyan] didn't have ti to scolded him either, because a dim light illuminated a dark corner of the stage.
The first perforr tonight had already stood there.
She seed to be leaning against sothing, her head bowed down.
The large red cloak covered her tall figure completely, and with her head lowered, the wide hood ford shadows that concealed her entire face.
Nothing could be seen clearly, only the faint outline of a raised arm holding steadily onto a pure white microphone!
The huge display screen beside the stage lit up with the song title:
"Love The Way You Lie" - Eminem/Rihanna
[Tao Kongyan] was surprised. He comnted: "The stage design is very well thought out, good job production team."
His son proudly added: "The stage is always designed by [Nan XiangWan] herself! She can do everything!"
[Tao Kongyan] frowned but didn't say anything else.
At this ti, [Nan XiangWan] on stage raised her wrist, bringing the microphone closer to her lips.
The custom made white frosted texture microphone ford a stark contrast against the red cloak, instantly drawing everyone's eyes!
The accompanying band received their cue.
As the lody started playing, her voice rang out:
[Justgonnastandthereandwatchburn] (I'm burning away, yet you just stand by and watch)
[Wellthat'sallright] (That's fine)
[BecauseIlikethewayithurts] (Because I love the pain)
In the first verse, [Nan XiangWan] didn't add too many flourishes, keeping to her original vocals.
Her vocal tone was unique. Though it was high pitched, her singing technique ant no strain could be heard. Instead, it sounded like her throat was constricted as she sang.
Bringing extrely high notes down to an earthy resonance, seemingly stemming from anguish and helplessness.
This was followed up by her straightening up from her leaning position, taking a step forward.
The red cloak swung and billowed dramatically with her motions, like she was being engulfed in raging flas.
[Nan XiangWan]'s vocals remained suppressed but slightly more open than before:
[Justgonnastandthereandhearcry] (I'm crying endlessly, yet you just stand by and watch)
[Wellthat'sallright] (That's fine)
[BecauseIlovethewayyoulie] (Because I love the way you lie)
[Ilovethewayyoulie] (I love the way you lie)
Still sounding like sighs, but everyone could detect a subtle shift from her previous helpless sighs.
As expected, the next second, the drums and an extrely strong beat flooded in.
[Nan XiangWan] abruptly took a step forward, sweeping the cloak on her body aside along with the hood - flinging them high up!
Her image of wearing long shirts and pants now visible to everyone, tal jewelry glinting around her neck, her distinct abs peeking out from the gap.
While the bright red cloak billowed through the air, swirling like crashing red waves!
She rapped:
Ican'ttellyouwhatitreallyis (I can't tell you what this feeling really is)
Icanonlytellyouwhatitfeelslike (I can only describe the sensation)
Andrightnowthere'sasteelknifeinmywindpipe (It's like a steel knife stabbed into my windpipe)
Ican'tbreathebutIstillfightwhileIcanfight (I can hardly breathe but I'm still struggling)
Thunderous applause imdiately erupted from the audience!
The visual impact and sense of rhythm had everyone involuntarily bouncing to the beat.
It was just as comnts online said - you can always trust [Nan XiangWan] to deliver in her raps!
[Nan XiangWan]'s makeup today was also very bold. [Monica] once again brought out her specialty in wild styles, using thick and high contrast eye shadows.
And below her eyes, a red gemstone was painted.
