Chapter 621 Reunion
The black and white blocks of the stairs look like you are standing on a giant piano that has been magnified several times.
Most of the steps were occupied by people, who were chatting happily and relaxedly, making the place very lively.
Just by feeling the atmosphere here, you can tell that Olinde Square is indeed a place for a stroll. People who come here, no matter if they have blond hair, blue eyes, white skin, or other eye colors and skin colors, are all very relaxed.
“I thought it would be like a concert, but it turned out to be more like a street performance.”
When Chen Yubai said this, the tension that was already a little bit dissipated a little.
Chang Yun agreed: "Of course, there are people singing here every day, and some of them are here to earn money. For the people of Olinde who are used to this, this is a street performance."
The group walked slowly towards the front rows while talking.
They spoke a different language, and their appearance stood out among a group of people with high noses and deep eyes. Therefore, as soon as they came, they attracted a lot of people's attention.
When passing by some people, you can still hear them talking.
"They should be people from the three continents, right? They do look quite different from us. I can't quite tell them apart."
"No, I can still tell the girl in the middle apart. She's so pretty. Will she be singing on stage later?"
"It's very possible! Our performances at Olinde Square are always very famous. They could be tourists visiting."
"I saw quite a few people from Nanzhou on the street today. They are so active."
……
Lu Wantang received the most attention among everyone.
There were many people who wanted to come forward and chat, but they were all stopped by Chang Yun.
After finding an empty seat to sit down, Chang Yun directly arranged Lu Wantang's seat between the few people.
As the time approached six o'clock, several young people holding guitars stood up from the 'audience seats' and walked towards the stage.
The so-called stage in Olinde Square is actually a rectangular area. What is surprising is that the area is made of translucent tiles. When someone steps on them, all the tiles light up.
There are stepped auditoriums on three sides of the stage.
The side facing away from the audience seems to overlook the entire city of Olinde.
The bright lights that gradually light up under the dim curtain are the background for all performers.
After completing the simple registration, the young people stood in the middle of the stage.
Cheers soon broke out from the audience.
"I remember them. They seem to be a new band that debuted this year. They sang here before and were later spotted by a producer and released an original album."
"Are you going to sing a new song tonight?"
"They said they have a new song and will come to the Music Plaza to promote it, I think."
"look forward to!"
……
Just by listening to the noisy sounds around him, Lu Wantang basically knew the relevant information about the people on the stage.
Following this band, the performers were mainly ordinary singers and students from the Olinde Conservatory of Music.
The stage lighting will change depending on the singing style of the performers.
When night falls, fireworks of different colors will occasionally appear on the side facing the city at the climax of the song.
The time quickly came to six fifty-seven.
Chen Yubai went down to register under Chang Yun's guidance.
As soon as the two of them arrived there, they were noticed by many people.
What the audience is most concerned about is naturally the obviously different facial features of Chen Yubai and Chen Yubai.
"It seems he is not from Xizhou."
"Seven to eight o'clock has always been a very popular time slot. Why would they let people from other continents take the stage?"
"I'm really not used to listening to songs from all over the world. What a waste of time!"
"No wonder I heard there would be a different performance at the Music Square tonight. Could it be them?"
"Tsk, does anyone know who those two people who are going to go on stage are?"
"I don't know. I took a photo and searched, but I couldn't find any information."
"That might be someone who hasn't debuted yet?"
"Maybe he's here to sing?"
"Which street singer can go on stage at seven o'clock?"
……
The chatter in the audience at this moment was much louder than in the previous hour combined.
Even when the piano appeared in the middle of the stage and Chen Yubai walked over, there were boos.
Xizhou has always been relatively xenophobic and very confident in its local culture.
This also led to many people feeling dissatisfied when the news came out that Xizhou would communicate with other continents.
Since last month, various online verbal battles have emerged one after another.
From food, clothing, housing, transportation to entertainment, both sides are finding fault with each other.
Music is no exception.
As more and more people came to watch the fun, the boos from the audience naturally became louder and louder.
Some people even dared to openly call for Chen Yubai to step down.
Chen Yubai was completely unaffected
——Before coming here, Lu Wantang had told him about various possible situations, and even comforted him by saying that the stage of Olinde Square was large enough and he didn't have to worry about being hit on the head by random things, so he was mentally prepared.
After sitting down at the piano, he greeted through the microphone:
"Good evening, friends from Xizhou."
"This is my first time in Olinde City. I never knew the welcome ceremony in Olinde was like this. I'm sorry."
Be as sincere as possible in your tone.
But the locals who followed in the booing turned green in the face.
The whole audience fell silent for a moment, and then the cheers were no longer one-sided.
Some people also gave Chen Yubai a thumbs up.
"It's just a joke, don't mind it." Chen Yubai shrugged and smiled, "I believe most people are still very friendly."
His smile made everyone present feel less angry.
What's more, Chen Yubai's authentic English can win him a lot of favor.
"This is my first song since my debut, and I'm very happy to perform it live for the first time at Olinde Square."
In a word, the locals have a much better impression of it.
Chen Yubai gently plucked the piano keys and leaned forward slightly:
“See You Again”
When he read out the title of the song, the soft and gentle piano sound had already spread throughout the venue.
Originally, Lu Wantang hadn't planned to let him sing while playing the piano, but when he inadvertently said that this song would be best paired with the piano, Chen Yubai took the initiative to say that he could play the piano.
The prelude of this song has a light melody, mixed with a sense of nostalgia. It cannot be said to be amazing, but it can easily make people stop and enjoy the follow-up.
[It's been a long day without you my friend]
[The days are so long without your company, my old friend]
[And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again]
[When I meet you again/I will open my heart and tell you everything]
[We've e a long way from where we began]
[Looking back/We have walked a long journey hand in hand]
The gentle singing voice "takes the lead" and seems to transcend the boundaries of time and space and touch the softest part of the soul.
