"Today, I bring everyone a new song, accompanist please."
Jia Wenbo stood on stage with a sunny smile, speaking with natural ease.
Everyone knew that once Jia Wenbo made an appearance, he was sure to sing a new song.
For a popular singer with real strength like Jia Wenbo, to bring a new song tonight was naturally much anticipated by the audience.
And so, a piece of music that felt quite foreign to everyone but rhythmically pleasing began to play.
The prelude was somewhat intense.
But it wasn’t until Jia Wenbo began to sing that everyone realized the song started off very, very low.
"All."
After starting to sing, there was only one word.
It left the audience perplexed, but the tune made them look forward to what the lyrics would be next.
"Is about being brave."
"The wound on your forehead, your differences, the mistakes you’ve made."
Jia Wenbo’s voice was known to be powerful, but in the beginning of this song, it was unexpectedly low, taking the audience by surprise.
However, this deeper voice was quite pleasant to listen to, really showcasing Jia Wenbo’s strong singing talent.
As Jia Wenbo performed, the giant screen in the background started to display something like a music video for the song, depicting a city where light and shadow intertwined.
It seemed to resemble, in its near-realistic animated style, Mist City?
When the iconic Mist City buildings featured in the video, everyone could confirm that it definitely was Mist City.
"All, no need to hide.
Your threadbare toy, your masks, your self.
They say, to carry the light, tame every monster.
They say, to mend your wounds, no one loves a clown.
Why isn’t solitude, glorious?
Flaws in a person are worthy of praise."
Every line sung by Jia Wenbo was clear and emotive, and the low pitch conveyed a slight oppressiveness.
"It feels pretty good, huh?"
"Is this Jia Wenbo’s first attempt at this kind of song?"
"Do you feel the lyrics are starting to gain momentum?"
"Right, right, I also feel that growing strength, it should gradually increase."
The audience, hearing Jia Wenbo singing a style he had never done before, couldn’t help but start analyzing.
"Who says being covered in mud doesn’t make you a hero?"
When Jia Wenbo sang this lyric, the on-site audience faintly felt the song was about to burst with energy.
"Ah, nicely written lyrics, who says being covered in mud doesn’t make you a hero?"
"Damn! The video is well-made!"
"The firefighters in the video have perfectly interpreted this line."
"Who says being covered in mud doesn’t make you a hero?"
As the music continued, suddenly, a white figure seemed to fly in from the edge of the sky amidst the flames on the screen.
"Look, what’s that in the video?"
"Is that a video?"
"It looks like Big White flying over."
"Big White?"
"Surely that’s Big White, but what’s that on Big White?"
At this moment, the video on the screen seamlessly blended with the virtual imagery through certain technologies and angles.
Ding Yue, held tightly by Big White, flew from the side of the big screen into the video, then circled above the stage with the help of the live virtual image technology.
At this moment, even the on-site audience was nearly unable to distinguish between reality and virtual.
How did Big White fly out of the screen with a person in tow?
Most crucially, they landed steadily on stage, right in front of Jia Wenbo—wasn’t that Principal Ding?
"Damn! Principal Ding?"
"What the hell? How did Principal Ding appear?"
"Damn, Principal Ding flew out of the screen with Big White?"
"That’s freaking cool!"
The students from Mist City Arts and Science University on-site were boiling with excitement, with every student wondering how Principal Ding and Big White flew out of the big screen.
This was simply too magical, wasn’t it?
The sci-fi effects were maxed out!
It wasn’t just the audience on-site; the viewers in the livestream were also blown away, seeing Big White bringing Principal Ding of Mist City Arts and Science University flying out of the screen. Watching the live broadcast, this scene was absolutely stunning.
The camera angles in the Mist City Arts and Science University broadcast room were superbly chosen, allowing the viewers online to clearly witness them flying out of the screen.
As soon as Ding Yue landed, he picked up where Jia Wenbo left off and continued singing.
"Holy shit! Principal Ding and Jia Wenbo are singing this song together?"
"I never anticipated that even Principal Ding would take the stage."
"Principal Ding is forever a legend!"
"I’ve been really looking forward to this song!"
"Is this a duet between Principal Ding and Jia Wenbo?"
"Holy shit, this new song is so grand, with Principal Ding and Jia Wenbo singing together!"
The students of Mist City Arts and Science University screamed when they saw Principal Ding follow Jia Wenbo and continue singing the song.
"Love how you brave the dark alleys solo,
Love the way you refuse to kneel,
Love your standoffs with despair,
Never willing to shed a tear,
Love your tattered dress,
Daring to face the gun of fate,
Love how much you resemble me,
Our scars are all the same."
After Ding Yue sang this part, the audience, both live and online, exploded with excitement.
"It sounds so good!"
"Brothers, spam ’good’ in the chat!"
"Good!"
"Really good!"
"This one’s a hit!"
"This song’s going to be a sensation!"
"Damn, the new song is so catchy!"
The barrage in the live stream was completely drowned in an ocean of "good"!
"Will you go? Match? This ragged cape!
Fight? Yes, fight! For the humblest of dreams!
Here’s to the weeping and roaring in the night!"
When Ding Yue reached the chorus, Jia Wenbo joined in, and the explosive power they unleashed lit up the entire venue.
"Listening to this song, I feel so empowered!"
"Yeah, from Jia Wenbo’s deep beginning to the chorus’s powerful outburst, it’s just incredible."
"This song hits just right!"
"It’s the first song of the year I’m going to have on repeat."
"A tribute to the weeping and roaring in the night!"
When the online audience heard the chorus, they too felt a fiery energy surge within.
"Who said that only those standing in the light are considered heroes!"
The last line of the chorus, sung solo by Ding Yue, perfectly capped off the first section, leaving the listeners craving more.
Especially that last line, "Who said that only those standing in the light are considered heroes," touched countless audience members deeply.
Indeed.
Just like in the video, who says that in reality, only those in the spotlight are heroes?
"They say, quit your madness,
As if wiping off dirt.
They say, climb the stairs submissively,
The price is bowing down.
Let me then, can’t, ride the wind,
Proud as you are, with that solitary courage.
Who said that facing the ordinary doesn’t count as heroism."
Jia Wenbo continued singing this part.
Following closely, it was Ding Yue’s turn to continue.
Their perfect collaboration ignited the atmosphere at the scene.
The layers of empowerment one after another gave all the audience a sense of power, which, coupled with the hysterical roar of the chorus, became a blaze of strength that could instantly set the whole venue ablaze.
It must be said that "Lonely Brave" really tests that explosive vocal power.
When Ding Yue first encountered this song, he really didn’t think he could do it, but after continuous practice and with the skillful teaching of Lin Zhirou and Jia Wenbo, and guidance from music masters.
In this way, Ding Yue kept practicing until now, finally being able to master "Lonely Brave" perfectly, controlling the release and explosion of power very precisely.
Because of this, the cooperative performance between Ding Yue and Jia Wenbo was seamless, presenting "Lonely Brave" even better to all the audience.
