Chapter 1122 Drifting
Time seemed to have quietly transitioned from day to night. Enjoying one wonderful performance after another, the audience hardly felt the passage of time.

Even during the ten minutes leading up to Jiang Yuan's performance, a break specially prepared for everyone, the audience was still reminiscing about the previous performance.

Jiang Yuan took to the stage several times, and her new song with Lu Qingge became a hot topic at the music festival that day.

However, compared to the previous day, because the song Jiang Yuan and Shang Yan'er sang together was not a love song, there wasn't much of a fight between the two CP fans. They basically just kept to themselves and enjoyed their own little world.

Before Jiang Yuan appeared, some staff members gave some bottled water to the audience who had bought the water bottle. This was a change made based on feedback collected the day before.

Although there were many water collection points set up on site, there were still some locations that were not so convenient.

Li Xiaoyue and others also specifically instructed the on-site staff to take care of the audience in these areas.

This attention to detail quickly garnered praise from some viewers online.

Backstage, with the help of the hairstylist, Jiang Yuan got her hair done one last time.

As the setting spray finished, Jiang Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. This was her last makeup session for the day.

Although Jiang Yuan didn't appear many times in one afternoon, she spent a lot of time changing her outfits each time.

After each costume change, they also had to cooperate with the photographer to take photos on set.

At first, we just wanted to shoot more materials, but after some discussion, we decided to move all the photo shoots for our upcoming new album to the performance venue.

The new album that was released later was a simple compilation of the songs performed on "Live Audio," without a complete conceptual design.

They simply linked the concept directly with the performance theme and improved the production plan.

In this way, Jiang Yuan will save time from having to take special photos later.

"Let's hurry up and shoot another set!"

After Jiang Yuan's hairstyle was finally completed, the photographer practically dragged her to the set that had already been built and started shooting.

For her last outfit tonight, Jiang Yuan changed into a black and white racing suit.

Standing in the well-lit setting, the photographer took pictures while praising Jiang Yuan, saying she looked just like a real race car driver.

Meanwhile, Brian was watching Jiang Yuan take these photos the whole time.

After the filming was finished, they were also very interested in the racing suit Jiang Yuan was wearing.

Unlike Jiang Yuan, who only knew that the outfit was prepared for her by the team, Brian was able to professionally point out which brand Jiang Yuan's clothes came from.

Even before Jiang Yuan officially took the stage, he shared the story behind the clothes with her.

"Ready to go on stage!"

After everything was ready, Jiang Yuan, led by the staff, walked to the entrance passage.

By this time, the audience members at the performance venue had all finished resting and were all looking towards the stage with expectant expressions.

Many people come to the Infinite Notes Music Festival specifically to see Jiang Yuan.

Next up are Jiang Yuan and the Kuangbiao Band, both of whom are the two groups of singers that the audience is most looking forward to.

Meanwhile, online viewership for the live stream gradually increased, reaching its peak for the day's music festival live stream.

Li Xiaoyue and others were already used to these data changes and were not particularly surprised.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyue also arrived at the position where Jiang Yuan was about to appear.

To match Jiang Yuan's outfit, Li Xiaoyue and the others also designed a unique entrance for her.

Right now, Jiang Yuan is sitting on a motorcycle, and her makeup and styling are complete.

The show's producers designed a special entrance for Jiang Yuan, having her ride a motorcycle onto the stage.

Li Xiaoyue and others had discussed this design with Jiang Yuan beforehand, and everyone felt that it still presented certain technical challenges.

However, after learning about the design, Jiang Yuan started practicing without hesitation.

There's no particular reason; it's just because I'm handsome.

With her strong learning ability, Jiang Yuan had already practiced to a level of proficiency that she was very confident in before she made her appearance.

However, only Jiang Yuan herself was very confident. Li Xiaoyue and the others felt that Jiang Yuan hadn't prepared for very long before going on stage, so they were somewhat worried.

At this moment, the photographer in charge of the shoot showed no signs of worry, excitedly snapping photos of Jiang Yuan's handsome moments, making the most of every moment before his appearance.

"Actually, it's not that difficult. Let them prepare on-site."

Jiang Yuan noticed the expressions on Li Xiaoyue's and the others' faces and knew they wanted to persuade her to give up, so she said this directly.

In Jiang Yuan's opinion, the program's choreography was quite safe; it was just riding a bike onto the stage, and there was no need to do any dangerous stunts. In Jiang Yuan's view, it was a piece of cake.

Just before Jiang Yuan was about to ride her bicycle onto the stage, the large screen lit up and began playing her entrance video.

The video clips for both days featured materials that fans hadn't seen before, so the fans at the scene watched them very attentively.

As for the online fans, they are speculating about what kind of performance Jiang Yuan will bring today.

After all, the previous day had already demonstrated Jiang Yuan's potential as a singer with three different styles.

Many popular singles were already included in the medley the day before.

According to Jiang Yuan's fans, even the setlists for two different tours in the same week can change significantly.

Not to mention music festivals that are even shorter, everyone assumed that Jiang Yuan would definitely bring some different performances, and the only thing that was curious at the moment was how the setlist was arranged.

I'm also really looking forward to seeing if Jiang Yuan will sing a new single on this day.

While fans were secretly anticipating the event, the countdown had already begun at the venue.

The drumbeats that started in sync with the countdown also invigorated many viewers.

When the countdown reached 0, all the lights in the venue went out, and the audience could vaguely hear the roar of an engine.

Immediately afterwards, the large screen at the scene also displayed the image of Jiang Yuan bending down and riding a motorcycle on the night road.

As Jiang Yuan rode her bicycle through the tunnel, the roar of the engine grew louder and louder in sync with the sound, which was obviously a pre-arranged sound effect that gradually intensified, making the audience's hearts pound involuntarily.

At that moment, as Jiang Yuan on the screen drove quickly out of the tunnel, the screen went dark again.

As the screen went dark, the stage lights came on one after another.

At that moment, the audience also heard a roaring sound that was somewhat different from the one coming from the speakers.

The motorcycle's headlights had already illuminated the stage, and the audience in the front row seemed to have seen something and began to cheer.

Everyone in the audience was a little confused, but they all knew that Jiang Yuan was about to appear, so everyone was very excited.

At this moment, the online viewers actually saw it most clearly, with close-up shots provided by the director in real time. Jiang Yuan indeed appeared on stage riding the same black motorcycle that had appeared on screen earlier.

Especially during the live stream, they even cut to several close-up shots from different camera angles, which immediately got the audience excited.

Holy crap, they just rode in on a bike!

[So cool! It's like something out of a racing movie!]

Is this Jiang Yuan?

[It must be. That physique and the way he carries himself, it's hard to imagine it being anyone else!]

[Wow, this is already so exciting right from the start?!]

-

As online viewers went wild, the audience finally saw a figure riding a motorcycle appear in front of the stage.

On stage, dry ice was sprayed to create a mist effect for Jiang Yuan, successfully maximizing the pretentious atmosphere.

Amidst the cheers, Jiang Yuan parked the motorcycle on the stage.

Then he reached out and took off his helmet.

The cameraman and director coordinated again, giving a close-up shot of Jiang Yuan taking off her helmet.

Jiang Yuan's entrance was all about showing off, so she had watched a lot of racing movies and studied the scene where she took off her helmet carefully. She had a perfect balance in the whole movement.

It looks even cooler than some real race car drivers' creations, just like the race car drivers in movies.

In addition, Jiang Yuan herself is good-looking, which immediately made the audience scream and cheer.

No one expected Jiang Yuan to make such a cool entrance.

The reason why the production team designed such an entrance routine is related to the first song that Jiang Yuan will sing next.

When discussing racing movies with Brian, Jiang Yuan subconsciously thought of the classic film "Initial D".

Although this wasn't the film that Jiang Yuan ultimately discussed collaborating on with Brian, she still remembered a song from the music festival that seemed quite suitable for a live performance.

That is, the classic song from the movie – "Drift".

The version performed at this music festival did not include the classic dialogue from the studio version of the song.

The main issue is that the movie hasn't been filmed yet, so even if we add this dialogue to create atmosphere, the effect probably won't be optimal.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan's entrance sequence had already successfully set the stage for the atmosphere.

He got off the vehicle, took off his helmet, and grabbed the microphone—the whole sequence of actions was fluid and seamless.

As Jiang Yuan held the microphone and stepped toward the center of the stage, the intro to "Drifting" officially began to play.

As the drumbeats of the intro faded, the backup dancers quickly ran onto the stage and followed Jiang Yuan to the center of the stage to take their positions.

The electric guitar and synthesizers, accompanied by drumbeats, launched into an exhilarating melody. The interplay of high and low frequencies was perfectly executed; even in the very beginning of the arrangement, a complex sonic design was employed, instantly igniting the audience's emotions like the roar of an engine.

As the audience involuntarily began to sway to the rhythm of the music, a few questions quickly flashed through their minds, as if they were not familiar with this intro.

I happened to look up and saw the song's name displayed on the big screen, but it still felt very unfamiliar.

After a moment of confusion, I instantly realized that this was a new song.

Just as no one expected Jiang Yuan to make her entrance on a motorcycle, no one expected her to perform a new song right at the start of her solo performance.

[Holy crap? They're starting with a new song?]

[This intro is top-notch!]

[This is absolutely amazing!]

[This opening was absolutely thrilling.]

[Opening with a new song, awesome!]

-

As she took her place in the center of the stage, Jiang Yuan raised the microphone and officially began her performance.

Find a pen and write down your courage in your diary.

I can let my fist rebel against the wall.
The air vent glass opened up my body.

The engine sound here is like a musical instrument.

His opening lines are full of rhythmic rap, with perfect control over tone and rhythm, blending seamlessly with the accompaniment.

At the same time, as Jiang Yuan began to sing, her body naturally followed the dance moves on both sides.

Without complicated choreography, both the dance and rapping exude a relaxed and natural feel.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's rap with such accompaniment brought the audience a very amazing listening experience, and they unconsciously started swaying along with Jiang Yuan's rhythm.

"Therefore, the whistling wind is exhilarating."

So, I was drifting around the corner.

Full throttle, drift to the bottom and take a closer look.
From zero to one hundred kilometers, who dares to oppose me?

As Jiang Yuan sang, she followed the backup dancers and performed movements reminiscent of a race car.

At the same time, the entire rap has a kind of wildness in it, which makes people feel very excited.

As the song reached its climax, flames would occasionally leap up on the stage, much like the flames emitted by a car poised to launch.

Brian, unaware that he had somehow joined his band members, came down from the stage.

Brian was completely unaware that Jiang Yuan was going to sing a song called "Drifting," and he didn't even understand it very well.

But at this moment, both Jiang Yuan's dance moves on stage and the entire stage background displayed elements related to racing, which Brian clearly saw.

This piqued Brian's interest in the performance.

After the opening rap section of the song, Jiang Yuan sang a section with some melody.

"I'm writing in the first person, about drifting youth,"

The balance between winning and losing is calculated very precisely.

The interlude following the end of this melody is immediately followed by a sample of a roaring engine.

With the cascading progression of Jiang Yuan's earlier performance, the entire venue erupted in cheers as a result of her act.
