0713: You who shine in the parallel world

Although the invitation from the program team of Breaking Through the Thorns has been sent, and in order to show sincerity, the group of 0713 were among the first two groups to be invited, there were still many candidates behind them, and there were even people who recommended themselves but could only go home and wait for notification.

However, whether to participate and what rights and interests should be listed in the contract if participating still need to be considered in the long term. It is still early now. The original plan was to record the first stage of Pi Ge San at the end of May or early June, so there are still two or three months left.

Moreover, due to the confidentiality agreement, the invited persons cannot reveal the news of their invitation to others before formally rejecting the invitation, and they also have to cooperate with the program team's hype about being on the invitation list. At least, they cannot immediately jump out to clarify when the program team is hyping up the list to attract fans.

Therefore, no one was discussing the news about Brother Pi in the re-employment group of seven people, the 0713 group of thirteen people, or the countless small groups created by a few people.

Only Yu Yu relied on the fact that he was the financial backer behind the scenes. Others could not communicate with each other and could only rely on guesswork, but he could easily grasp the list of people currently in contact with the program crew.

Yu Yu could still tell from the list what the program team was planning.

Under pressure from Larich-IS, they had to extend an olive branch to 0713 and put them at the forefront to give them enough face. However, they turned around and found several old, middle-aged and young artists with enough status. Obviously, they were looking for these guys just to deal with official business. They already had a script and a candidate for the C position in their minds.

Of course, it's normal for them to do this. Who can blame them for their lack of celebrity status? If it weren't for Larich-IS standing behind them, these people from 0713 might only be ranked in the third or fourth batch of candidates. Even if they were selected, they would only exist as supporting roles in the script of the program.

"Brother Who Overcomes Troubles" is a music variety show to put it nicely, but in essence it is still just a reality show, and it is bound to have a lot of "show" elements, that is, script elements.

Even though it is claimed that the voting is done by the audience and there are notaries on site, judging from the first two seasons, the room for manipulation and water behind the on-site voting is enough to hold a World Swimming Championships.

Not to mention the competition rules behind the stage, the final right of interpretation of the rules lies in the hands of the program team.

Yu Yu doesn't like this kind of flashy music variety show stage. Music is a pure thing. If it is mixed with too many scripts and scams, it will lose its authenticity. What Yu Yu can't tolerate the most is plagiarism, borrowing, fraud and covering up the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the audience.

In the past, those young people who were disappointed with him had more than once clamored for Yu Yu to take part in the music comprehensive school and military training with Brother Pi. He had no objection to the experience and military training, but he had reservations about Brother Pi.

Li Mu was quite happy because he finally had a proper job as an agent. During this period, Yu Yu went to the Free Country for rehearsals, but he, a die-hard fan, couldn't accompany him to watch his rehearsals because he was the agent of the salty fish Yu Yu, not Q God.

Li Mu, who had been depressed for a long time, suddenly had something to distract himself and immediately perked up.

He thought that although there was a time difference between the Chinese entertainment industry and Europe and the United States, Pi Ge was at least an S+ variety show in China, which was barely worthy of Q God. Moreover, it was a music competition variety show, which inevitably had a script but was at least related to music. It would be even better if the price could be more sincere.

Sometimes Li Mu really had no idea how to deal with Yu Yu's excessive laziness. Aside from a few variety shows and evening shows he filmed with his brothers, he rarely took on any work and had few offline performances. He was clearly incredibly talented, but he had turned himself into a nobody in the entertainment industry, and his net worth hadn't increased much at all...

Li Mu was busy for most of the day, having a headache about how to battle with the program crew. When he turned around, he saw that his artist and idol had already fallen down. He looked like he was working too hard, but no one cared about what he was doing.

Even if you are the financial backer behind the scenes, please don't be too lame, okay? Can you please pay a little attention to this annual event and give him a sense of accomplishment?

Huh? How could I subtly remind him that he'd be happier if he didn't get the contract? Looking at the fuming Mr. Li Mu in the video, Yu Yu pondered for a moment before placing his phone on a stand nearby.

"The treatment is not the most important thing to me, Richard. And if I really participate in this program, it may conflict with my world tour at the end of the program, so I don't care whether they promise to 'form a group' or not."

"Don't push yourself too hard, Rick. You don't need to prove anything to anyone, you only have to be responsible to your fans. Instead of worrying about those petty disputes, why don't you help me see this arrangement from a fan's perspective?"

As Yu Yu spoke, her fingers began to dance on the keyboard.

In fact, the song he was playing for Li Mu was not the new arrangement for the festival he was researching. It was not even on the official list and was just one of many alternatives.

But since this was Li Mu's favorite song, adapting it was a piece of cake for him.

Then Li Mu was coaxed into peace and quiet.

Oh, he is such a good boss. He even has to worry about the physical and mental health of his young agent. It is rare to find an artist as reliable and considerate as him, Yu Yu thought shamelessly.

Oliver: So? I deserved it, didn't I?

Yu Yu, who did not need to make a decision immediately, decided to wait and see for a while to see what others thought before making any plans. At this stage, his focus was still on rehearsing for the music festival.

Before Coachella, Taylor's concerts were more like warm-ups.

Two days before the first show, Yu Yu left the City of Angels and went to Glendale to meet up with Taylor, and also had a few on-site rehearsals.

Because there were too many people around the on-site rehearsal, Yu Yu participated in the rehearsal wearing a mask as Query. Therefore, when the official rehearsal photos and guest list were announced, seeing Q God in the photos doing business for the first time after the Grammy Awards, the social platforms instantly became lively as if it was New Year's Day.

Yu Yu even saw discussions posted by Chinese fans on social media platforms in China, which shows that fans are very much looking forward to this century-long collaboration.

At this time, Wang Yuexin also came over to chat with Yu Yu privately. After sending a series of funny, smirking and pitiful emoticons, he finally expressed his intentions.

He wanted to watch the live videos of the two songs in Query. Although there was no live broadcast, it would be nice to have the videos to satisfy his curiosity.

This is Yu Yu's first appearance on the concert stage as Query after six years. Even if she is just a guest, it has special commemorative significance.

If he wasn't busy recording a show and had no time, he would have wanted to fly over directly to watch the concert as a guest.

"? How about we find some time to go to KTV and sing for a day? You just order the songs you want to hear and I'll sing them, right?" Yu Yu scratched his head.gif

"This is different. This is a concert. That one in Glendale had at least 60,000 to 70,000 people. The equipment, the choreography, the atmosphere were all top-notch. How can it compare to KTV?" Wang Yuexin rattled off a bunch of words. "But then again, when are we free to go to KTV, my little Yuyu?"

"Rolling eyes.jpg, don't ask me for candid footage. How can I take a candid video of me singing on stage? Then just look for fan videos online. You'll definitely find tons of them if you search."

"ruthless!"

Having said that, Yu Yu turned around and started to tell Taylor that he would need to copy the videos of his two songs from the concert recording crew when the time comes.

Taylor's World Tour has an official live recording because she plans to turn the tour into a movie.

Yu Yu suggested at the time that it would be better to make a TV series instead of a movie, with one episode per tour, and he believed that there would be many fans willing to follow it.

However, this kind of desperate suggestion from fans who had luckily managed to get tickets to the event was slapped back by Taylor as soon as Yu Yu, who was just watching the fun, said it. He was also told that if he wanted to have a battle with netizens, he could try it during his own World Tour in the second half of the year.

Making a song into a TV series to make money is like risking your life!

But you know what, in the future there will actually be people who want to adapt Yu Yu's unpublished masterpiece into a TV series, but that's a story for another time.

At least for now, Yu Yu feels that Taylor still has some talent for shooting inspirational idol dramas. Judging from the stage design of her concert, it is not difficult to find that she actually has many romantic and passionate little ideas.

For example, compared to the regular guests' appearance from the wide screen backstage or from the lift, she prefers to hang Yu Yu and the piano together and hide them in a dark backlit place.

When the intro to "Divergent Dream" started playing, the 70,000 people in the venue all realized that the heavyweight guest was finally coming on stage. Even now, when the toxic fans of both sides are still fighting each other, no matter how much Taylor's toxic fans dislike Query, they can't ignore the musical strength of Query, and vice versa.

The audience was agitated for a moment, then quickly quieted down. "Strange Dream" is a relatively quiet and sad song. When Taylor played the piano and sang the opening verse, only a few people sang along. They all had their phones ready, pointing them towards the stage, waiting for Query to appear when the next verse started.

Before Query appeared, the sound of another piano arrived.

The audience in the audience stretched their necks long enough to not see where the piano solo on the other end came from.

Until the magnetic singing voice that was too stable even in the bass range sounded, and a ray of light hit the air, illuminating the figure on the aerial platform that was like a bright moon hanging high in the sky. The breathing of the whole audience was slightly stagnant, and the exclamations one after another turned into cheers, but it did not affect the angel who was slowly descending with the piano.

No one knew how, in a stadium filled with tens of thousands of people, Query could produce such a perfect bass sound that could not be interpreted by any other playback software, speakers or CDs. The gentleness of his voice, accompanied by the white piano, made him seem like an illusory dream that fell from the sky.

The descending platform landed right opposite Taylor's transparent piano. The two pianos faced each other, but the two singers hid behind the pianos, always lowering their eyebrows the moment the other raised their eyes.

The missed glances, the interwoven piano sounds, and the complementary duet between a man and a woman make up this unsurpassable song "Divergent Dream".

At least for a long time afterwards, no other sad duet between a man and a woman could compare to Glendale's dream.
