Chapter 541 "Uptown Funk"

At Rome Airport, Jiang Yuan walked out with the program team.

Jiang Yuan had only known the name of this city from textbooks and a certain travel program.

However, this level of understanding is actually not much different from being unfamiliar.

The program team still arranged vehicles and accommodation as usual, allowing Jiang Yuan and others to avoid the embarrassment of arriving in a strange country.

There were not many vehicles, so Jiang Yuan, Paul and others, a total of seven guests, were all squeezed into an extended vehicle.

At the same time, it is also convenient for the program team to shoot.

"I feel like it would be a bit weird to try singing and dancing here."

Jiang Yuan spoke to Song Naen in Korean. The two had agreed to cooperate in a new city last week.

However, judging from the stereotype of the ancient city of Rome, Jiang Yuan subconsciously felt that singing and dancing to songs did not seem to be a good match.

"What should we do?" Song Naen suddenly became a little nervous after hearing this, and was a little worried that the cooperation that was finally reached would fall through.

"We'll take a closer look in two days. If it doesn't work, we'll find another suitable one." Jiang Yuan's answer quickly made Song Naen put her mind at ease.

There is even some vague expectation. After all, although "LOVE SCENARIO" is indeed very popular, it is obvious that the new cooperation will attract more attention.

"Are we going to attend the premiere of the movie then?" On the side, Haruka Arimura asked, pointing to the news about the scheduled release of "Your Name" on her mobile phone.

"It should be necessary." Jiang Yuan nodded in response, switching languages.

Just now on the plane, he also checked the relevant itinerary with Zhang Qing.

On the surface of "Your Name", Jiang Yuan also held positions in dubbing, screenwriting, and even music production.

In the eyes of fans, this movie is no different from Jiang Yuansheng's.

What's more, Jiang Yuan even invested in this movie himself, so Jiang Yuan will try his best to participate in any activities that can benefit the movie's box office.

"I'm already looking forward to the effect of the finished film." Haruka Arimura was also a little excited.

Participating in the dubbing work throughout the entire process also gave Arimura Haruka a high sense of participation in the film.

In conjunction with the movie's release date, I also reposted it on my own account to promote it.

"It will be great." Jiang Yuan replied with a smile.

At the same time, I am also looking forward to it. Among all animation works, "Your Name" has always made Jiang Yuan feel that it is a movie that he likes very much from the story to the style of painting to the music.

Holding his mobile phone, Jiang Yuan also took a look at the feedback on the Internet after the official announcement of his tour.

With the official announcement scheduled in advance, Jiang Yuan's accounts on all platforms at home and abroad updated the tour information at the same time.

The overall situation was quite different from Jiang Yuan's expectation.

The tour has just been launched on the ticketing platform. Although there are only some tickets, the popularity of the tour has quickly soared to the No. 1 position.

The number of people wanting to see the performance is also soaring, and it will reach one million in a short time.

On foreign platforms, Jiang Yuan also briefly browsed the comments below. Fans on foreign websites were obviously very enthusiastic about the tour.

The number of comments under a single post has surpassed the one posted earlier.

The comments that were pushed to the front row were not only looking forward to Jiang Yuan's tour, but also calling for Jiang Yuan to perform in different countries and cities.

For comments like this, Jiang Yuan always liked them and replied that he would rush there as soon as possible.

Although there are no plans at the moment, it does not prevent Jiang Yuan from including these most popular countries and cities into his plans.

When performing abroad, the judgment is basically based on the singer's local music playback data and box office appeal.

In areas where such appeals are high, Jiang Yuan will not mention it, but the studio will also evaluate the possibility of performing.

After looking down at his phone for a while and replying to some comments, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a little dizzy. To prevent further motion sickness, he temporarily put down his phone and raised his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

"Yuan, the show has aired, and your new single is probably going to be a hit again!"

When Jiang Yuan was free to enjoy the scenery outside the window, Paul's voice called Jiang Yuan back into the car.

"Yes." When Jiang Yuan heard this, he remembered that the new issue of "World Song" has been online for some time.

Before I got off the plane, I was thinking that the new songs released on this show would play a key role. If it weren't for Paul, I almost forgot to pay attention.

So he turned on his phone again and started searching for relevant news.

The program "World Songs" has reached its later stages, but its attention has not dropped at all.

On the contrary, as the program guests, Jiang Yuan, Paul and others have been actively carrying out their schedules recently, the popularity of the program has also increased.

This feature film follows "RISE"'s explosive performance at the opening ceremony, which is even more so.

During the promotion of the show, Jiang Yuan's new song was already promoted, which attracted many viewers.

It is a good way to extend part of the popularity of "RISE" to the show.

At this time, Jiang Yuan's new single seems extremely crucial. If it performs well, it is very likely that this wave of popularity will be added to himself.

At this time, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little lucky, because the place and atmosphere were suitable at that time, so he played the song.

As soon as "World Song" was launched, Aaron attended the show on time.

Since he started recommending Jiang Yuan on his channel some time ago, Aaron has become more and more interested in Jiang Yuan.

And starting from his own recommendation, Jiang Yuan's popularity has begun to become higher and higher. He even performed with the Blu-ray Band at the game's opening ceremony not long ago, which once again became a big hit, and even attracted many music critics to criticize his first English album. Expressed expectations.

Naturally, Aaron is one of them.

However, unlike other institutions, Aaron always has a sense of pride in discovering gold when it first started to shine in the gravel, and then witnessing the gold gradually shining brightly.

With this subtle sense of pride, Aaron clicked play on the show.

After "RISE" became a big hit, Jiang Yuan responded to the release plan of his first album through a foreign record company.

It is a relatively detailed explanation that some new singles from the album will be released on "World Songs" in the future.

So right now, Aaron is here with the idea of ​​reviewing Jiang Yuan's new album.

From the previous songs, Aaron can almost conclude that this album will be a very high-quality pop album, and it has already shown many different styles.

So much so that Aaron now feels that he has placed too high expectations on this album, expecting more high-quality works in the album to show more different and comprehensive styles.

Thinking of this, Aaron couldn't help but move his fingers and started to pull up the progress bar of the show, wanting to jump directly to Jiang Yuan's performance.

The show's launch time is not very friendly to Aaron, and occasionally he wants to take a break early.

Before the performance officially started, Jiang Yuan's preparation process for the performance was also broadcast. The road show took place in a neighborhood in a South American city.

At that time, after experiencing the atmosphere on the spot, Jiang Yuan almost without thinking, picked the absolute hit single "Updown Funk" from the music library.This song is somewhat similar to "Despacito" that Jiang Yuan himself sang in the previous issue. Both are divine songs that are huge hits around the world.

"Updown Funk" is a hit song sung by Martian Brother. Once released, it has reached No. 1 on the singles charts in various countries. It even won the Grammy Award for Best Production and Best Production for this song that year. Awards for best combination.

It even ranked No. 5 on the Billboard's Greatest Singles in History list. It can be said to be a hit that truly took the world by storm.

During the recording of the last episode, Jiang Yuan had already tried to work with the program team to shoot the MV for this song. The main reason was that the content of the MV itself was not very complicated, so Jiang Yuan thought about it Yes, the program team's new idea of ​​updating the competition system may be related to this.

Aaron watched Jiang Yuan gather his dance partners in preparation for the performance, with an expression of surprise on his face, and couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

It wasn't until the transition to the official performance sequence, when Jiang Yuan was wearing a pink-colored dress suit that looked a bit coquettish and a bowler hat standing with the backup dancers that Aaron subconsciously started to whistle along.

There was no band at the scene, and the accompaniment was made in advance. Jiang Yuan stood at the performance position holding a retro-style stand specially found by the program team.

The backup dancers around him were all from local dance troupes. Jiang Yuan selected a few outstanding dancers and rehearsed together for a period of time.

In addition to the onlookers, many members of the dance troupe also came to the scene to support.

"Doh
Doh-doh-doh-doh”

The performance begins, and the pre-recorded subwoofer and drum beats sound at the same time.

Jiang Yuan and the backup dancers also started moving according to the prelude of the song.

At the same time, Aaron, who was watching with headphones, couldn't help but start shaking his legs along with the rhythm in the headphones.

The intro and the rhythm of Jiang Yuan and the backup dancers made Aaron feel the coquettish feeling of the song at the first time.

This discovery came as a great surprise to him.

"This hit that ice cold, Michelle Pfeiffer that white gold,

This one for them hood girls, their good girls straight masterpieces
(This refreshing and energetic drumbeat, blonde and white-skinned Michel Pfeiffer,

These girls in sweatshirts are all on point and can be called beauties.)”

After the prelude, Jiang Yuan's singing began, and Aaron couldn't help but nod along as he listened to the lyrics.

The lyrics were very much in line with his expectations for the song, and it hit the spot.

"Stylin' wilin' livin' it up in the city, got Chucks on with Saint Laurent,

Gotta kiss myself I'm so pretty
(Cool and stylish, enjoy yourself in this city, with textbooks on canvas and famous brands on your shoulders,

I’m about to be fascinated by my own handsomeness.)”

As a naughty song, the lyrics are also full of narcissistic words.

Jiang Yuan also did a good job of embodying this emotion with the dancers during the performance. The brainwashing singing paired with the dynamic dance made Aaron feel a little happy.

And this is just the beginning, Jiang Yuan's performance is still going on.

"I'm too hot, hot d**n, call the police and the fireman,

I'm too hot, hot d**n, make dragon wanna retire man
Say my name you know who I am
(Brother is so sexy and hot that he needs to call the police and firefighters to cool down.
Even your bad temper is extinguished by my handsomeness. You know who I am when you shout my name)"

It was another extremely showy performance, but the audience was filled with applause.

Everyone seemed to like this performance, and Aaron laughed out loud watching it.

Although it was very different from the new song he imagined, through this performance, he felt that he saw a very different side of Jiang Yuan.

It feels very different from the performances I have seen before.

“Girls hit your hallelujah-Woo~
Girls hit your hallelujah-Woo~
(Girls, please give your compliments)"

While singing this section, Jiang Yuan also started to wander around the performance venue with his backup dancers.

Immediately, the enthusiasm of the entire scene was completely ignited by this performance.

Especially the audience in the front row and the backup dancers were all members of the same dance troupe. Driven by the music, they unknowingly started dancing together.

The overall performance atmosphere was great.

As an audience member who was not present, Aaron couldn't help but join in the joy of the atmosphere through the screen.

Watching Jiang Yuan's new song performance late at night, I suddenly became sober again.

"'CauseUptown Funk gon' give to you*3
Saturday night and we in the spot,

Don't believe me just watch Come on!

(Because this uptown funk is for you, and we're gonna rock it on Saturday night,
If you don’t believe it, just wait and see! )"

The song progresses quickly to the chorus.

The magical brainwashing melody began to be paired with equally magical dance moves.

Every section of the song is full of rhythm, and at this moment it is a direct hit.

Throughout the performance, the audience in the neighborhood couldn't help but get excited along with the songs.

Even Aaron, who was across the screen, couldn't help but be blown away by this section. He subconsciously stood up from his seat with headphones on and started dancing randomly to the rhythm.

"Don't believe me just watch"

With a chorus that repeats every line and keeps getting higher and higher.

Aaron completely let himself go and got high, and the atmosphere at the performance was already completely heated.

“Hey hey hey oh!!”

The high notes while dancing and singing made Aaron feel extremely happy listening to it.

What's more important is that while listening to it, I was impressed by Jiang Yuan's singing.

“Stop wait a minute”

After the high note, Jiang Yuan paused and transitioned to the next section of singing very naturally.

After Aaron followed the old man happily for a while, after hearing this, he sat down again and continued to watch Jiang Yuan's performance.

While watching, I couldn't help but admire the charm of Jiang Yuan's performance.

Just halfway through the song, I'm already addicted to this song "Updown Funk".

At the same time, there are definitely not a few viewers who feel the same way as Aaron.

Therefore, not long after the program was launched, the playback volume of the MV that was released simultaneously began to rapidly soar to the hot list.

There was also the reminder from Paul in the car.
