Chapter 3423: Perfect Opening
The stage manager still thought Tawana was just a love-struck fool, nervously saying: "Tawana, Trevor is in America! He can't bless you—God can't even reach the East!"
Tawana wasn't afraid at all; instead, she remained very calm, saying: "Just do as I say, and I will surely turn danger into safety."
At this point, the stage manager had no choice, after all, Tawana's safety rope had already snapped, and whether the big screen tilted forward or backward, it was hard to guarantee her personal safety.
But if they continued according to the original plan, although it was still dangerous, there was still a certain chance to perfectly present the original stage design.
So the stage manager could only grit his teeth and warn her: "Then you must definitely pay attention to safety—hold on tight to the frame, and once you make it through the second half, you'll be much safer."
After saying that, the stage manager reminded him again: "Also, you must remember—once the big screen keeps tilting, you must absolutely not stand up too early. As long as you lie flat against the back of the big screen, you'll be in the relatively safest position. Once you stand up, the risk increases."
Tawana ignored him.
She knew that since Ye Chen wanted to help ensure her performance wasn't affected, she absolutely couldn't come out lying flat against the back of the big screen.
Coming out that way would really look unimpressive—anyone with eyes could tell she was doing it out of fear.
Originally, according to the design, she was supposed to stand continuously behind the big screen, with the aura of stepping on it as it collapsed before making her entrance.
So she gathered her courage, and following Ye Chen's words, slowly straightened her body.
At that moment, countless people backstage nervously gasped.
And Tawana herself felt somewhat panicked inside—so high up, if she fell, it would be disastrous.
But fortunately, an invisible force seemed to surround her body, holding her firmly in place. She knew this must be Ye Chen's doing, and besides being astonished, she felt even more moved and shocked by him.
At this moment, as the big screen tilted forward past thirty degrees, many audience members seated farthest back and highest up had already seen Tawana standing behind the big screen.
This position had always been called the "mountaintop" because it's both high and far. Now, with the big screen at concerts, it's relatively more viewer-friendly. Without the big screen, they could only barely make out who was on stage by bringing their own binoculars.
At this moment, the audience in the mountaintop seats, seeing their long-awaited idol appear in such a shocking way, instantly erupted in loud, excited screams.
Since seats closer to the stage are lower in height—even in the inner field, people are actually lower than the stage—so at this moment, most of the nearby audience still didn't know what had happened.
And the forward tilt angle of the big screen kept increasing.
Soon, more and more people began to see Tawana.
And Tawana at this moment also began waving at the crowd that could see her, and the atmosphere grew increasingly heated.
When the big screen was about to completely collapse, everyone in the venue saw Tawana standing above it, arms spread wide, waving down at the audience—a heroic sight.
The cheers in the venue thundered like rolling thunder, and the entire stadium plunged into a frenzy of boiling excitement.
Under Ye Chen's protection, Tawana walked down from the big screen unharmed, then joined the backup dancers waiting in front of the T-stage, stepping to the music's rhythm as she walked toward the T-stage.
Afterward, Tawana picked up the microphone and began singing passionately.
The venue descended into frenzy again, with screams rising and falling one after another.
Tawana's team all breathed a sigh of relief.
No one expected that after enduring such a major stage accident, the performance would suffer no impact at all.
At this moment, Ye Chen finally let go of his worries, watching from backstage as Tawana sang with full focus on stage, and he couldn't help but look at this woman with new eyes.
Setting aside personal life issues, Tawana's musical talent is truly unmatched—every song she writes has a strong memorability, which is why she can consistently top all major charts.
A one-hour performance, Tawana nearly sang nonstop, with hit after hit, and for most of the time, the crowd of tens of thousands sang along in unison—the atmosphere was extremely heated.
And at this moment, the time until Gu Qiuyi's appearance was getting closer and closer.
At this moment, Gu Qiuyi had already arrived at the lift platform and was ready.
At this moment, Tawana had just finished a song and began singing her most famous one, "Romeo."
As soon as the prelude played, the audience erupted again. They basically fell in love with Tawana because of this song, so it's absolutely her breakout hit.
And when Tawana opened her mouth, tens of thousands in the audience sang along in unison.
Just as she finished the first verse and the interlude began, Tawana spoke into the microphone: "It's an honor to perform here in Yanjing and bring everyone such a thrilling show. For today's performance, I specially invited my good friend to be my guest—this is the first time I've invited a guest to my solo concert. I hope everyone will welcome her with the warmest applause!"
The fans were instantly delighted.
In the past, Tawana's concerts were usually just her carrying the whole show herself, rarely inviting any performance guests—mainly because her popularity is so high that there's really no need to collaborate with singers much less famous than her.
But this time, Tawana not only clearly told everyone at the concert to expect a guest, but also said the guest has a very close relationship with her and that she specially invited her.
So a large number of spectators began guessing wildly, wondering who this mysterious guest was who came to perform for Tawana.
Just then, the interlude ended.
All the cameras and big screens in the venue suddenly turned toward the central electric lift at stage five.
The next second, the lift revealed a woman in a full white wedding dress—Gu Qiuyi—being pushed out. And the moment she was lifted onto the stage, she immediately grabbed the microphone and began singing Tawana's song "Romeo."
The stage has a total of five big screens—three on stage, besides the middle liftable screen, there's one fixed screen on each left and right side.
Besides that, there are two sets of high-definition large screens on both sides of the stage—these two screens are what allow those seated far away to still see the stage clearly.
And when Gu Qiuyi's handsome face appeared on the big screen, the venue instantly burst into a near-frenzied wave of cheers.
No one expected that the guest Tawana invited would actually be Gu Qiuyi!
About half the audience in the venue are Huaxia people, so they immediately recognized Gu Qiuyi. Many fans who like her even stood up to applaud her.
And at this moment, Tawana walked toward the newly arrived Gu Qiuyi. Taking advantage of the moment she finished her first phrase, Tawana warmly embraced her.
Immediately, Tawana raised the microphone and shouted: "Please welcome Gu Qiuyi, Miss Gu, with your warmest applause!"
