The Qin Continent Grand Stadium.
The huge crowd began to enter the venue.
Several separated lanes had been pulled open, stretching for thousands of meters.
Just about every few steps, there was a uniformed security officer maintaining order on the periphery of the barriers.
One hundred thousand spectators were arriving.
The streets surrounding the Grand Stadium were already heavily congested.
Groups of traffic police were maintaining order on the streets, everyone communicating road conditions in real time via walkie-talkie.
And not just traffic police.
The police were also deployed in large numbers.
City surveillance was heavily concentrated in the Grand Stadium area.
In the security check area of the concert, countless security personnel and police officers shared the responsibility.
Inside the Grand Stadium.
Tong Shuwen was also coordinating the work of various departments nervously.
Tong Shuwen was the director-in-chief of Xian Yu's concert.
As the chief director of music variety shows like "The Masked Singer" and the "Our Song" series, Tong Shuwen was top-notch when it came to stage coordination.
Starlight had asked him to take charge of Xian Yu's concert to bring out the maximum brilliance of the stage!
Tong Shuwen was both nervous and excited!
When he initially received the invitation to be the director-in-chief for Xian Yu's concert, Tong Shuwen had instantly agreed without much thought, considering it as a payback for Xian Yu's participation in his two shows.
Normally, Tong Shuwen would not accept offers to manage concerts.
His position in the world of show directing was quite high, concert directing was not on par. Only Xian Yu could have the prestige to invite him.
But at that time, Tong Shuwen considered this to be a regular job.
Just acting as a chief-in-charge for a concert.
The job was not too challenging.
Far less challenging than "Our Song".
But after Tong Shuwen finished the first rehearsal, his body and mind were greatly shocked!
It was unbelievably incredible!
A four-sided stage, welcoming one hundred thousand spectators!
Maybe this was destined to be a crazy concert!
This concert would also be a huge test for his professional career!
If successful, it would be a bright highlight in his career!
Therefore, Tong Shuwen was placing extra emphasis on this concert now!
His level of seriousness and commitment was comparable to when he directed the finale of "The Masked Singer!"
His gaze turned to the backstage of the directing room.
Tong Shuwen saw that Xian Yu had already started his make-up.
A few of the industry's top make-up and stylist artists were working for Xian Yu.
"Many reporters outside are live broadcasting the interview..."
The assistant director of the concert informed Tong Shuwen nervously, "The heads of the traffic police team and public security department will come to communicate with you."
"There's no problem with security outside, right?"
"No issues have arisen at present, small traffic disputes have also been resolved by the traffic police team."
"OK, when will all the spectators enter the venue?"
"In about half an hour. Many people are now buying support props and posters. The time schedule won't have any problems."
"OK, keep paying attention, report to me immediately if there's any situation."
Tong Shuwen's gaze swept over the monitors in the directing room.
Each department was doing its job, the preparations related to the concert were progressing in an orderly manner.
And when the time reached six fifty.
All of the one hundred thousand spectators finally entered the venue, and all departments were in position!
"Get ready to start!"
At this moment, Tong Shuwen's voice was tinged with a hint of fanaticism.
While waiting for the start of the concert, the audience was engaging in heated discussions.
"It's about to start!"
In the third row of the east side grandstand.
Zhou Meng glanced at the time on her phone, her face filled with anticipation, "Just a few more minutes!"
Zhou Meng was a hardcore fan of Xian Yu.
She came with her boyfriend, Wang Yu.
For this, the young couple had both taken leave from their respective companies.
Wang Yu, her boyfriend, laughed and said, "I wonder what song Fish Daddy will sing first, I want to hear him sing 'Exaggeration' again!"
Zhou Meng laughed along, "I'm most looking forward to 'A Chuckle Across the Sea'."
A nearby spectator joined in the topic, "Will the ending song be 'The Ordinary Road'?"
Another spectator joined in, "I won't beat around the bush, I want to see Fish Daddy dance."
"Hahaha, come on, it's good enough just to listen."
Everyone burst into laughter.
They were all fans of Xian Yu.
The atmosphere at the venue was lively. Unfamiliar audiences communicated with each other, seemingly not feeling awkward at all. This might have had to do with everyone being there for the same person.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd...
An unanticipated sound, akin to the onslaught of a tidal wave, echoed through the venue.
The audience instinctively raised their heads.
The stage's giant screen featured an enormous fish circling high in the sky, eclipsing sun and earth!
Shortly thereafter...
A beam of light descended.
With a thud, an ocean formed on the stage floor with multicolored fish swimming freely.
In the midst of these stunning special effects...
A distant voice started to hum softly:
"The silent waves bury the nightfall deep, flooding all corners beyond the sky ends..."
The song echoed from afar, drawing closer.
Jiang Kui gradually appeared on the stage lift at the center.
Applause poured from the audience.
It wasn't surprising to see Jiang Kui on stage.
Concerts typically start with a warm-up act by a guest performer.
Mainly to avoid the audience having to wait aimlessly, which is why there is always such an arrangement before the official start of the concert.
The selection of the song "Big Fish" was in fact an original composition by Xian Yu, popular amongst the fans.
Everyone enjoyed the familiar melody and lyrics flowing from Jiang Kui's lips, "Each and every tear is flowing towards you, returning to the seabed in the sky...."
Amidst the applause, the audience started discussing:
"What beautiful effects!"
"Based on the various concerts I've attended, Xian Yu's special effects are by far the best!"
"These effects alone are worth the ticket price!"
"Jiang Kui warming up the crowd seems fitting."
"I never get sick of the song 'Big Fish'."
"Many singers have covered this song, but I must admit, Jiang Kui's version is definitely the most beautiful!"
"Jiang Kui's version is indeed unsurpassable."
Moments after everyone started their discussion...
The music at the concert suddenly stopped.
This was a specially designed break in the music arrangement to catch the audience's attention.
The crowd instinctively paused their discussions.
One by one, they raised their heads to watch Jiang Kui gently step forward on stage.
Jiang Kui's deep humming.
The colossal fish soars over the sea.
At that moment, a heart-stopping voice unexpectedly emerged, its haunting harmony touching even the most somber hearts—
Mist twirled around the stage lift as the voice emerged from the midst of the fog.
Once the fog cleared...
A familiar slim figure was now revealed to everyone through the stage and the giant screen.
It was none other than Xian Yu!
The mesmerizing entrance of Xian Yu caused Zhou Meng to feel a buzzing at the top of her head. Goosebumps covered her entire body in an instant!
Almost unconsciously,she let out a scream at the top of her lungs!
Wang Yu was screaming too!
But no matter how loud their screams, they were merely part of a tidal wave of ecstatic screams from the crowd, culminating in a collective euphoria!
"I'm in awe the moment he opens his mouth!"
"This is what divine singing sounds like!"
"My ears are pregnant!"
"How can it sound this good!"
"My whole body is numb with excitement!"
"This isn't Big Fish, this is a marine siren!"
"This is the most explosive entrance I've ever seen!"
"If there's a version that can surpass Jiang Kui's 'Big Fish', it can only be a duet by Xian Yu and Jiang Kui!"
"Xian Yu is the greatest backup vocalist!"
"What a grand opening!"
"If I were the richest person in the world, I would pay a billion just to hear Xian Yu sing 'Ah' for me all day!"
Right at seven o'clock sharp, the personal concert of Xian Yu officially began with the enchanting song of a marine siren!
PS: First update, the marine siren concept in this concert was derived from the version of 'Big Fish' by Zhou Shen and Doris Guo.
