Song performed: “Fertile Fields”
In the accompaniment area next to the stage, another light came on.
Only then did everyone see the full view of the accompaniment area. It turned out that only half of the accompaniment area had been revealed during all the previous performances, while a small group of accompaniment personnel had been waiting in the dark.
Now, it was their turn!
Numerous classical Chinese musical instruments were displayed side by side, and when illuminated by the lights, the atmosphere of traditional Chinese style was overwhelming, especially the large and eye-catching war drum at the very edge.
This left everyone present completely stunned.
Several foreigners who had come specifically to see it craned their necks to observe it closely.
Wen Zefenni’s eyes widened: “What are these musical instruments? I don’t recognize any of them!”
George: “I don’t know them either…”
Of course, no one would give them an answer; all eyes were on the stage.
It’s about to begin!
The drummer, dressed in samurai attire, stepped forward, raised his hand with his back to the crowd—
Thump! Thump thump!
The intense war drums sounded, setting the tone for the opening.
The seven girls on stage instantly came to life and turned sharply to face the stage.
The atmosphere had calmed down, and everyone’s eyes were filled with a fierce fighting spirit!
Thump! Thump thump!
The war drums continued to beat, and the sound of the guqin joined in.
The seven people each took a diagonal step, instantly changing their formation to three in front and four behind.
Nan Xiangwan stood in the very center, with Zhu Sha on her left and Yun Qian on her right.
These were the three strongest dancers in the Destiny Girls Group!
Wen Zefenni stood up immediately: “What? She’s the captain?”
Because Nan Xiangwan stood in the middle and controlled the entire stage, Wen Zefenni completely misunderstood.
George had done his homework and quickly explained, “No, no, the one on the side is the captain.”
Wen Zefenni was furious: “Then why is she standing in the middle?”
George: “Sit down, don’t block the view of the stage from the people behind you.”
Wen Zefenni then sat down, her face full of resentment.
Amidst the drumbeats, the opening rap was sung by Nan Xiangwan:
[Surging waves, setting sun, white willows swaying in the green]
Love is as sweet as cinnabar, transformed into enamel.
Wen Zefenni: “??”
George: “??”
The two foreigners couldn’t understand the lyrics, even with a translation, they were completely baffled.
Nan Xiangwan sang and danced without even breaking a sweat, all while singing live.
Her movements were expansive and powerful, with Zhu Sha and Yun Qian on either side perfectly complementing her, and every frame of her dance exuding a sense of strength.
With the added touch of modernized Hanfu, the dance of the group became even more stunning, the wide sleeves of the Hanfu creating a sense of movement, as if a martial arts performance was being staged.
Even when Nan Xiangwan was in school, her teammates didn’t slack off and never missed a dance practice session.
Compared to their stunning debut, they now had better control over their power. The same dance, the same moves, but the feeling they brought out was completely different.
“Fertile Fields” was a very upbeat song, choreographed by Yun Qian.
Everyone knew that Yun Qian was very good at wild-style dance, and this element had naturally been amplified in this song. Strength was an essential requirement in every movement.
The audience below the stage watched with obvious seriousness in their expressions, especially the F4ever girl group, who had already made great progress. They all sighed and shook their heads.
They thought their hard work would narrow the gap, but the Destiny Girls Group made even greater progress!
The A778 boy group was stunned. They were known for their agile and powerful dance moves, and even the boys found many of the Destiny Girls’ moves unbelievable.
How could a girl do this?
Are you even girls?! You’re probably all secretly lifting weights, aren’t you?
Especially the lead dancer, Nan Xiangwan, she actually did a somersault without using her hands!
At the climax of the dance, the guzheng (a traditional Chinese zither) joined in, and the magnificent music was incredibly loud.
Zhu Sha and Yun Qian each grabbed one of Nan Xiangwan’s hands and pulled her back with large strides.
With their support, she suddenly did a somersault.
A beautiful flip and landing!
The wide sleeves of her robe rustled in the wind, and the gold trim on the cuffs shimmered subtly, echoing the golden dragon on the back.
At the same time, the four people behind stepped forward and came to the very front of the stage, instantly reversing the positions of the seven people to four in front and three behind.
[He will be stationed in Bingfu Town]
[The Beast Shows No Mercy]
The teammates were harmonizing, and the rap in the chorus changed the way they sang, like the most primitive roar.
Amidst the already exhilarating roar, Ge Dongxuan stood center stage and belted out a high note:
I lay prostrate in the fertile fields, having seen through the illusions of the world.
I too once rivaled the most outstanding masters.
Her voice was bright, open, and distinctive; the moment she opened her mouth, countless people in the audience got goosebumps!
This performance was absolutely stunning!
The ancient bloodline etched in their genes was activated, and each of them seemed to have returned to the Three Kingdoms period, eager to fight a battle!
Wen Zefenni stared with her mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.
George was so excited that his eyes welled up with tears. This trip was worth it! This trip was truly worth it!
After a series of events— some singing well, some acting out, and some making comparisons— the process was halfway through, and finally, a breathtaking scene arrived.
This was the Chinese style that these foreign friends had been longing for!
Five thousand years of Chinese culture are flourishing at this moment, and the beliefs of countless generations are ignited. Every time the sleeves were raised, they could stir the rhythm of the Chinese people’s DNA.
During the camera transitions, several shots were taken of the audience’s expressions, with Wen Zefenni and George’s expressions lingering for three seconds.
Live comments: Hahaha! The two Grammy winners are totally dumbfounded! The director did a great job, filmed their expressions more! I love seeing these foreigners looking so naive! By the way, has the Destiny Girls’ dance skills improved? Looking forward to their new album next year!
….
In no time, the barrage of comments was so numerous that it was impossible to fit them all, and new viewers kept pouring in.
Until the end of the performance of “Fertile Fields”, the seven people stood in the center of the stage and bowed. The comments on the screen were still scrolling, and the applause from the audience below never stopped.
Wen Zefenni finally closed her mouth, her eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions.
She had thought Gu’s girlfriend was just a pretty face, only good for shooting music videos. But after coming to China, she witnessed her stage performance.
Wen Zefenni only then realized that she had made a huge mistake!
And from the song information that flashed quickly on the big screen, along with the translation, she clearly saw that the song was composed and written by Nan Xiangwan.
This isn’t a vase, it’s a domino!
A powerful, young, and promising rival who could threaten her position.
Wen Zefenni knew very well that if Nan Xiangwan had been given a few more years, she probably wouldn’t even have a place at the Grammys…
In contrast to Wen Zefenni’s complex emotions, George’s performance was much simpler; he was simply moved to tears after the song ended, crying like a child.
The camera switched back to the two of them, and the comments section erupted in laughter.
One was stunned and deeply hurt, while the other was dumbfounded and wept bitterly!
