I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 367: Idol, Do You Need a Fan Chorus?
After every group received their seasonings, the barbecue event started to get more harmonious.
Starry lights were hung everywhere on the coconut trees and warning lines, and the program team sent some food to the fans who were reluctant to leave outside. Many people were chatting and laughing.
The beach suddenly became lively, like a festival, eating barbecue and talking loudly. When the atmosphere reached its peak, upon the fans’ request, Li Yang reluctantly prepared to sing a song to cheer them up.
A large space opened up in front of the three barbecue stalls. Holding the director’s megaphone, he cleared his throat and said, "Since everyone says they want to hear me sing, I’ll sing a song. What do you want to hear?"
Mu Qiu was still sitting by her barbecue stall, gnawing on a grilled chicken wing: "Of course we want to hear the group song!"
Li Yang looked at her puzzled while holding the megaphone: "Since when did we have a group song?"
Mu Qiu: "La la la la la dance Mi."
Li Yang: "...... I refuse!!! That was a nightmare for me!"
The fans outside burst into laughter, and some squealed, insisting on hearing that song.
"You have to face your nightmares head-on and break them!"
"Sing, Yangyang! If you sing well, we won’t have nightmares anymore!"
Li Yang: "So it’s fine if I have nightmares alone, right!?"
"You’re the little prince of the stage! You can do anything! Breaking a nightmare is just a matter of minutes!"
"Hey hey hey," Guan Yu was not happy, holding up a skewer of grilled squid to defend the song, "What nightmare? How is it a nightmare? That song is so nice, and it’s all improvised! It’s already very good, okay?"
Mu Qiu slowly ate her chicken wing and added leisurely: "The accompaniment is quite good."
"...... Eat your chicken wing, why are you talking! Among all the recordings, your electric piano sound was the most unpleasant, okay?"
"Are you serious? Have you forgotten how long your singing made Li Yang, as a singer, have nightmares?"
"You two, stop fighting," Shu Ran slowly chewed a skewer with less oil and salt and rolled her eyes, saying, "You both had the most prominent voices, so why bother comparing?"
Li Yang hesitated for a moment and weakly added a truth: "But Sister Shu Ran, you are the third person on the same level."
Shu Ran paused her action of eating vegetables: "...... You’re the only one who can speak. Hurry up and sing!"
One provoked another like in a round, and Shi Yuhuai suddenly chuckled, his big white teeth standing out in the dim night, showing he was quite comfortable with the lively scene.
In the end, Li Yang couldn’t defy the fans’ request and decided to sing "As Long as You Love Me".
The director and engineer were very on point. As soon as Li Yang said he would sing, the darkened big screen immediately lit up and started the intro of the song.
Cheng Zhirang put down the half-eaten Palm Treasure, dabbed a napkin on his mouth, and watched him start singing seriously.
"As long as you love me, As long as you love me, As long as you love me, We’re under pressure......"
Li Yang sang seriously, his voice clean and magnetically youthful, fresh and quite appealing.
The fans outside quieted down, softly singing along, turning on their lights and waving their phones to create a small sea of lights.
Everyone knew that the fans outside weren’t only Li Yang’s fans, but at that moment, everyone was waving and swaying their phones to the rhythm, creating an unexpectedly harmonious scene.
The experience of listening to a live performance while feeling the sea breeze and eating barbecue, squinting and shaking legs, was indescribably wonderful.
[I’m so jealous, the sisters at the scene can watch a Li Yang concert live!]
[No need to buy a ticket, you can even request songs!]
[Yangyang has finally redeemed his image with his skills]
[It sounds so good, sob sob sob. Can someone on site kindly share a recording?]
[My boyfriend asked me why I was holding my phone in the bathroom, singing and shaking my head]
[I’m really envious, this atmosphere even beats a concert venue]
[It’s so atmospheric, I feel like I’m sitting on the beach, listening to Li Yang singing by my ear to lull me to sleep]
[Why do I feel like no matter how he sings, it’s not as good as the last version /dog head]
[Maybe Guan Yu put a spell on you, messing with your auditory nerves]
[La la la la la dance Mi, Li Yang let’s duet!]
The beach indeed became a small sea of lights with Guan Yu, Shu Ran, and Tang Zi holding barbecue skewers like bouquets, running up to offer them to Li Yang like fangirls seeing their idol.
Li Yang stood in the lit-up clearing, holding a shabby little megaphone in one hand and a barbecue skewer in the other, squinting at the lyrics on the big screen and sang until the end.
Mu Qiu nodded her head to the beat, feeling that his normal singing was finally pushing back the terrifying memories in her mind.
As the last two lines approached, Guan Yu wiped her mouth, clapped her hands, stood up excitedly, and asked, "Idol! Do you need a duet fan guest?!"
Li Yang didn’t have time to sing the last two lines and quickly declined her: "No need!"
"... An unfeeling idol treats your dear little fans like this?"
Mu Qiu: "Ugh."
After making a retching sound, facing Guan Yu’s death glare, she pretended to wipe her mouth with a napkin, "Sorry, I really couldn’t hold it in."
Guan Yu snatched all the skewers in front of her.
"So dramatic, you shouldn’t be eating!"
"Anyway, I’m full, but could you pass them to the two groups next door for me, as a small charitable deed?"
Guan Yu pretended not to hear, clutching them in her hand to eat herself.
Without Guan Yu’s duet interruption, Li Yang smoothly finished the whole song. Shu Ran led the applause immediately, and with Guan Yu’s goose-like cheer, Li Yang shyly bowed, holding the three skewers of barbecue he received, happily returned to the group.
Although it felt like busking, being able to earn three skewers of barbecue effortlessly was worth it, after all, there were three guys in their group, and the meat skewers were insufficient.
Being able to "earn money to support the family" is also a skill.
Holding three skewers of barbecue on his return, Shi Yuhuai gave him an approving look, and after splitting them equally, the three even pondered asking him, "Do you want to go sing another song?"
"... Brother Huai, do you see me as a tool to earn barbecue skewers?"
Shi Yuhuai: "Of course not. You sing beautifully, and the fans would definitely love another song."
Li Yang looked at him with a curious and doubtful look: "Then you go up and sing, I see you have a lot of Lian Yi around."
"I can’t sing."
"Then you walk the runway, they’ll definitely give you barbecue skewers too."
"......"
Just having a barbecue by the sea, with the entertainment being a runway show, really seems unnecessary.
Li Yang was quite excited, like he’d found a way to make a fortune, already contemplating the feasibility of having him do runway shows to earn barbecue skewers.
