Chapter 611 Explodes the Audience
Before the official Super Bowl game every year, there will be a "Super Bowl LIVE" warm-up performance, which is the "Super Bowl" warm-up show.
Pre-shows usually invite famous celebrities, but the number of performers will be large.
Like this year, Idina Menzel started the show by singing the theme song of "Frozen" "Let It Go", and Taylor Swift closed the last day. In the middle, there were some less famous celebrities. European and American singers and bands.
Gu Wei's performance was on the afternoon of February 3rd, local time in the United States, and he was one of the last people to perform.
On the night of the 2nd, he went to the hotel to rest for the night. Early the next morning, Gu Wei first accepted an interview with Tengxun Sports.
Tengxun Sports is the exclusive digital live streaming partner of Major League Rugby in China and has exclusive broadcast rights.
“I am honored to be named an ambassador for one of the most recognized sports entertainment events in the world.
Thank you to the NFL and the Super Bowl Organizing Committee for inviting me to participate in the Super Bowl ahead of the big game. Live broadcast of the celebration."
Facing the reporter's interview, Gu Wei said with a smile.
"Currently, Gu Wei has more than 10 million fans on your Instagram. Will you develop internationally and focus your career on music?"
"I still want to thank everyone for their love for me. However, my career is mainly in China, and I have always considered myself to be a first-rate actor, a second-rate director, and a third-rate singer.
If I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to bring more and better things to my fans. Music, but I also hope everyone will pay attention to my film and television works."
The interview was over, and after eating something for lunch to pad my stomach, Gu Wei and his entourage came to the performance venue to wait.
The temperature in Minneapolis is relatively low in January, but no matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop the enthusiasm of fans and fans.
"The food here in the United States is still the same unpalatable."
"There are several Chinese restaurants in the city. Do you want me to book their seats for you, the boss?"
"Forget it. The Chinese restaurants here have been adjusted to suit the tastes of the locals. I can’t get used to it, so I decided to book a Michelin restaurant with a better reputation for dinner.”
“Understood.”
This trip to the United States Although the trip was highly hyped on the Internet, fans celebrated each other happily, feeling that their idol was indeed different from other domestic celebrities and was a truly international celebrity, unique in domestic entertainment.
But Gu Wei himself didn't take it too seriously.
Just like what he said to Liu Yifei, "Super Bowl Live" is not the "Super Bowl Halftime Show" and there is really nothing to show off.
Had it not been for the request of his two endorsement sponsors, he would not have bothered to come so far.
Of course, Gu Wei is just a man who is full and doesn’t know how hungry he is. If other popular male celebrities in China get this opportunity, the press will be sold all over the place.
The fan rally at noon ended. At 4 p.m., veteran singer BobMould took the stage to sing a rock song "fixit" to warm up the venue.
Bob Mould was a member of the band HuskerDu in the 1980s.
The HuskerDu band is a post-punk band with a hardcore style, which once influenced the development of alternative rock.
After the band disbanded, he became an independent musician and singer, and also released his own album.
"Singing rock music at such an old age, is it love or lack of money?" Gu Wei looked at the old man with gray hair and a leather jacket and jeans on the stage, holding an electric guitar as if he was trapped in his own world. .
“Boss, it’s time for you to start preparing. After the Arcade Fire Band, it will be our turn”
Gu Wei is a well-deserved big star in China, and his influence in Asia is also very large, but in the United States, not many people know him.
Even though several of the songs back then were popular, they were still popular but not popular.
Just like many people in China listen to English songs, many melodies are familiar to them, but if you ask who sang the song, what is the name of the singer and what he looks like, few of them know.
So when waiting for the show, many singers just glanced at Gu Wei's face and were not surprised.
There were quite a few female singers and staff who couldn't help but look in his direction after seeing Gu Wei's appearance.
Although I don’t know who it is, he is so handsome and very attractive.
Arcade Fire is an independent rock band from Montreal, Canada. They are quite famous. They once released an album [The Suburbs], which won the 53rd Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
The songs performed live today are all songs from TheSuburbs.
It was getting late, the lights around the performance venue were all on, and there was already a sea of people under the stage. After a period of warm-up, the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience was also aroused.
"Why hasn't Gu Wei come on stage yet? It's a bit cold today!"
"It's almost time. According to the program list issued by the organizer, Gu Wei will appear next!"
"I'm so looking forward to it. This is my first time to hear Gu Wei sing live.
When he The fans suffered so much. He only played one or two songs a year. The key was that he couldn't listen to the songs live. He never held a concert.
Before this, if he wanted to hear Gu Wei sing live, he had to go there. Spring Festival Gala, tickets for the Spring Festival Gala cannot be bought with money.”
A group of young people with obviously yellow faces gathered together at the side of the stage. They were international students from New York University. There are men and women.
There were many people like them in the venue, who came from major universities in the United States just to watch Gu Wei perform live.
For Chinese people, even those who study abroad, are not very interested in the Super Bowl, but if they can watch Gu Wei's performance live, it is okay to spend some time and money.
Especially those who can study abroad are basically young people whose families are not short of money. Almost 6 out of 10 are fans of Gu Wei, and the remaining 4 must have listened to his songs and watched him. drama.
After all, even if you don’t watch [Wolf Warrior 2], [Nirvana in Fire], or the various idol dramas that become popular every year, you can’t help but watch the Spring Festival Gala.
As long as you surf the Internet, listen to songs, and watch dramas, there will always be channels for you to come into contact with Gu Wei’s works.
After the last song of the Arcade Fire band, the international student fans at the scene could no longer restrain their excitement and shouted their idol's name.
"Gu Wei! Gu Wei! Gu Wei!"
The American locals were a little confused, but it is normal for fans to be more enthusiastic about the singers at the concert.
"Willyouholdtheline
Wheneveryoneofthemisgivinguporgivingintellme
Inthishouseofmine
”
As the accompaniment sounded, Gu Wei wore a white jacket with some metal hangings on it, and his makeup was also in a rock style. He held The microphone walked onto the stage from the side.
This was a look specially designed for him based on the style of the song he sang today.
Gu Wei chose to open this song with [natural]. The wind is bursting, the song is full of swelling energy, and with the support of simple and powerful electronic drum beats, it has the most majestic momentum.
Since he came to perform, he had to show his best. Gu Wei didn't want these European and American singers to compete and make people think that he was just here to mess around.
“Wow! It turns out to be this song, [natural]! One of my favorite rock songs!”
“This guy is the original singer of [natural], I remembered There was a scandal with Scarlett last year! It seems that his name is Gu"
"Oh my god, he is so handsome, an Asian is so handsome!"
After Gu Wei appeared on the stage, fans from China went completely crazy, screaming one after another.
"Andyou'restandingontheedgefaceup'causeyou'reaNatural
Abeatingheartofstone
Yougottabesocold
Tomakeitinthisworld
"
Soon, [Natural] reached its climax. Not only Gu Wei's fans, but all the fans in the audience became excited. Everyone raised their hands and shouted loudly to the tune of the song. Everyone was extremely excited.
[Natural] is a typical rock music style with a very strong sense of rhythm.
The melody of the whole song is exquisite and progressive, like an increasingly violent wave, full of passion and inspiring fans to release themselves and work hard.
The explosive drum beats and inspiring lyrics are exciting to listen to, and Gu Wei’s explosive voice is on full display in the song’s chorus.
When he reached the climax of the song and looked at the emotionally invested fans in the audience, Gu Wei fixed the microphone in his hand to the stand, then took off his jacket and threw it on the ground.
Inside was a white, patterned, tight-fitting half-sleeve, and the powerful muscle outlines of his body were vaguely visible when he moved around. The fans in the audience screamed even more excitedly when they saw this scene.
“Who is performing now?”
The atmosphere in the venue exploded, and the fans’ deafening screams reached the backstage. It passed through the walls and reached the ears of Swift who was putting on makeup in the lounge.
In terms of popularity and status, Taylor Swift is definitely the biggest performer today, and she is also the singer who made the finale.
After arriving at the venue at noon, she had been preparing in the single lounge at the back. She probably knew about the performances of other singers in the afternoon, and this was the first time that the fans reacted so violently.
"It's a singer from China, named Gu Wei." The assistant said, looking at the program list in his hand.
"From China? Gu?" Taylor thought for a while.
“Is it the original singer of [DanceMonkey]?”
This song was written by Gu Wei when he was recording [Hua Shao 3] early last year. It has been popular in Europe and the United States for a while, and it belongs to him Taylor has also heard of a recent song.
"Yes, but the song he sang today did not include [DanceMonkey], but two old songs released a few years ago, and an original new song."
The corners of Taylor's mouth curled up slightly.
“It’s interesting, I know this person. He has released a few songs since his debut, less than one song a year, but his first songs are all popular classics.”
“ It is said on the Internet that Gu's main occupation is an actor, and singing is just a hobby.
He was also ranked first among the 100 most handsome people in the world in 2016 and 2017 by TCCandler.
Together with Scarlett Johansson, she is the global brand spokesperson of Louis Vuitton.
There were rumors of an affair between the two at last year’s Paris Fashion Week.”
Seeing that his artist was interested, the assistant quickly searched for some information about Gu Wei on the Internet.
< br>You can find these things on the Internet.
“It’s my turn after he finishes singing, right? ”
"Yes, it will be time for us to wait for the show in a while."
"Okay, let's go now, just in time to listen to the two songs behind this Gu."
【natural】thoroughly It ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene. After one song, both domestic fans and local Americans were in high spirits and excited.
This song is indeed a war song that is said to be a must-listen for playing games. After listening to it, I feel full of passion and power.
"Gu! Gu! Gu"
After the performance, the foreigners also shouted along with the domestic fans.
Gu Wei was also very satisfied with the atmosphere at the scene. After singing a song, he showed a smiling expression, holding the microphone in one hand and raising the other hand high.
‘Are you on fire? It’s just begun.’
Then, the dynamic melody struck again, this time it was another explosive song [soldout] by Gu Wei.
The opening sound is like a sound coming from the vast wilderness, leading all the fans into a world of chaos.
"Iain'tlikenooneyoumetbefore
I'mrunningforthefront
Whenthey'reallrunningforthedoor
"
This song is worthy of being a must-have for superhero clips on Douyin. The BGM has a dynamic rhythm and is simply an epic high-burning war song. It is sonorous, powerful and majestic. The fans feel like the god of war when they listen to it.
If the song [natural] just made everyone full of strength, then this song [soldout] urges you to fight.
“I'msoldout
WitheverysinglestepthatItakenow
Witheverydropofbloodleftinmyveins
“
When the song reached its climax, all the fans at the scene started humming along, and the last day of "Super Bowl Live" felt like Gu Wei had turned it into his own concert.
“I have liked these two songs before, but they are not in line with my music style.
The singing is very good, both the voice and singing skills are perfect. , I can hardly find anything wrong with him.
Looking at the photos on the Internet, he is really handsome, but I don’t know what he looks like in person.”
In the waiting area, Taylor listened to the song through some obstructions. Through the gap, you can see the enthusiastic reaction of the fans at the scene, and you can also see Gu Wei's figure on the stage.
Unfortunately, due to the angle, she couldn't see the front face.
“But the figure looks good.”
“It’s so cool. I didn’t expect to hear Gu Wei singing live so much. It’s so exciting!”
“Who said that? No, I guess, I feel sad when I think about the possibility that I will never hear such an exciting concert again!” Gu Wei has one more song left!”
"It's said to be a new song. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm just talking about this new song. It's enough to come from such a distance!"
"Why don't you feel not enough after listening to [natural] and [soldout]?"
“.”
Close to the stage, a group of international students were twisting their bodies to the rhythm and discussing with each other.
[Soldout] ended, the fans present were still unfinished, and the melody of Gu Wei’s last song came to mind.
"Lookoutforyourself
Iwakeuptothesoundsofthesilencethatallows
Formymindtorunaroundwithmyearuptotheground
"
"Holy shit, it's actually rap! Gu Wei's new song actually starts with rap!"
"Is this his first rap song? But it's really nice. I love this rhythm!"
"This is not inferior to all domestic [hip-hop] songs and singers!"
“Nonsense, they are not on the same level at all.”
Everyone was extremely surprised that Gu Wei, who had already sung two transcendent rock battle songs, turned out to be a rap song in his third one. song.
It is not accurate to say that it is rap. To be more precise, it should be a combination of rap and rock, an alternative rock song - [enemy].
However, no matter what type it is, the essential style has not changed much. It is still passionate and super exciting, and the fans who listen to it are very excited.
[enemy] is actually the English theme song written by Dream Dragon Band for [League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities] in 2021 at the invitation of [Riot Company].
As soon as it was released, it became a hit all over the world. At the opening ceremony of the [2021 League of Legends Global Finals] S11 Season Global Finals, the Dream Dragon Band led the performance of this song, and the effect was explosive!
Everyone knows that the Chinese theme song of [Battle of Two Cities] is another song by Gu Wei [Lonely Warrior].
Now it is complete in both Chinese and English.
"I've never heard of this song before. Is it his new song?
The style is innovative enough, but you can still hear the rock atmosphere that is in the same vein as [natura]"
Taylor listened to Gu Wei's The new song’s eyes are getting brighter and brighter.
Singing three songs of such high quality at once, it’s no wonder the fans at the venue were so excited.
“The atmosphere at the scene was so high that I couldn’t get up on stage after a while.”
Swift said this, but she was not worried at all, because she is Taylor Swift and she has absolute confidence in her music.
"Please help me keep him while I get off the stage, and let's get to know him when I finish my performance."
Thinking about this, Swift said to the assistant beside her.
"Okay." The assistant didn't pay attention. Musicians admire each other's talents. Once they get to know each other, they might collaborate in the future, invite them to sing, etc. This is normal.
