On Yuan Universe, all Jiang Yuan mentioned to his fans was that he covered a few lines of Lu Qing's new song.
However, Lu Qing's new album received rave reviews within just a few hours of its release, and Jiang Yuan's fans also listened to several of the songs. They were naturally looking forward to Jiang Yuan's cover.
Today, Jiang Yuan has made comprehensive progress in singing skills.
In the past, people relied more on the emotions in singing and the pure tone quality to attract the audience.
Now, many listeners want to sing some songs through Jiang Yuan's voice.
Many times, when people hear a song that suits Jiang Yuan's voice, they will wish to ask @姜缘 to cover it. Some even go so far as to make an AI cover version using Jiang Yuan's voice. The related series of covers have also received a lot of playback volume on the Internet.
Therefore, when Jiang Yuan announced the upload time of the cover video, many fans squatted in front of the screen, as if waiting to be fed.
When the time came, Jiang Yuan's account also updated the video on time.
Most fans clicked on the video with the mentality of opening a blind box, and before that they were not sure which song Jiang Yuan was going to cover.
As soon as the video started playing, fans saw Jiang Yuan holding a guitar in a park. The daylight was just right and the park was at a high point, so they could see a panoramic view of the city behind Jiang Yuan.
Some local fans recognized Jiang Yuan's location at first sight and subconsciously began to leave messages in the comment section.
At the beginning of the video, Jiang Yuan did not start singing immediately, but explained the situation to the camera.
"Hello everyone, I just arrived in Haicheng and came to a park that many people recommend to check in. I am going to record a cover for everyone."
"Tomorrow, when the video is released, Lu Qing's new album should be online. I plan to cover a song I like very much, called "You in the Past" for everyone."
Before the performance began, Jiang Yuan explained the songs he was going to sing to the camera and also promoted Lu Qing's new album.
Among the several songs given to Lu Qing, there is the song "You in the Past", which Jiang Yuan thinks is a single that fits Lu Qing's temperament very well.
After listening to the demo, Lu Qing put this song as the second song of the album without hesitation, and regarded it as the title song of the album.
When they arrived at the filming location, Jiang Yuan felt that the entire open scene was very suitable for singing this song, so he chose this song to cover.
The video copy also uses the first two lines of the lyrics: I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword.
After Jiang Yuan announced the title of the song, the video switched to the moment when Jiang Yuan was playing the guitar and the performance began.
Leaning against the guardrail, Jiang Yuan played the prelude of the song. The staff in charge of filming slightly adjusted the camera position during the whole time to move the camera to Jiang Yuan.
The entire vast city landscape was well captured in the shot. Along with the sound of Jiang Yuan's piano playing, there happened to be an evening breeze blowing, ruffling Jiang Yuan's bangs, which immediately created a sense of artistic conception in the video.
After the prelude ended, Jiang Yuan also started singing in time.
"I once dreamed of traveling to the end of the world with my sword and seeing the prosperity of the world."
While singing, he lightly strummed the strings of the piano. When covering this song, since it was not a formal performance, Jiang Yuan remained relaxed.
This state is also well displayed in Jiang Yuan's singing, which sounds clear and free, fitting perfectly with the song, as if the song was supposed to be sung this way.
"Young people are always a little frivolous, and now you are at home everywhere."
In the video, because there was no professional recording equipment, Jiang Yuan sang relatively loudly.
The singing voice sounds like a natural photo without beauty filters. Even without the modification of filters, it still gives the audience a pleasant and shocking feeling.
In addition, due to the different singing states, the singing voice of Jiang Yuan and Lu Qing's studio version have two completely different feelings.
Many fans who have previously heard Lu Qing's version felt this very clearly.
The beginning of Lu Qing's version gives the audience a sense of narrative, with a somewhat depressing emotion, which is actually quite consistent with the lyrics.
Of course, Jiang Yuan’s version is more in line with the lyrics, but only some of the words are in line with it, such as the four words "young and frivolous".
When Jiang Yuan sang the cover, he put into this kind of free and easy emotion.
"The girl who once made you feel sorry for her has now disappeared without a trace.
Love always makes you long for it and feel troubled, and it has left you bruised and battered."
Jiang Yuan's singing voice and guitar chords may sound a little different from the original song to fans, but it's simple and rough and nice to listen to.
Listening to Jiang Yuan's unmodified voice, the audio is also mixed with some ambient sounds from the scene at the time, which sounds very realistic.
The scenery in the video matches the melody of the song very well, which makes the fans enjoy it very much.
After the main part of the song was finished, Jiang Yuan's singing finally reached the most fitting part of the entire song.
“Di li li di li li li den da!!!”
Jiang Yuan strummed the strings of the zither and sang loudly, his voice was very powerful.
Before covering the song, Jiang Yuan had thought of many scenarios for covering this song.
Among them, the scene where Charlotte sang the chorus in "Charlotte's Troubles" left the deepest impression on me.
So much so that before starting to shoot the video, Jiang Yuan also thought about whether to ask the staff to bring a fan prop to assist with the shooting effect.
But after thinking about it, I felt it was too much trouble, so I gave up.
Fortunately, the weather was good that day and there was constant wind blowing when the video was being shot, which achieved a similar effect.
To use the fans' words to describe it, when it came to this part, it was like being hit in the heart by the song.
“Di li li li di li li li da da!
"
Jiang Yuan just sang with his guitar in his arms, not caring too much about any techniques, just singing purely for the sake of making himself feel comfortable.
".Walking on the road of moving forward courageously,
There are sadness and excitement! "
Jiang Yuan stopped singing after the first chorus.
With a guitar performance as the end, Jiang Yuan stopped playing.
Then he waved at the camera and said, "It's almost over here."
After Jiang Yuan said this, the video shooting stopped here, and the entire short video ended here.
They only sang half a song in total, which was a somewhat unexpected surprise for the fans.
After all, when Jiang Yuan gave fans a preview, he only mentioned a few covers.
At that time, Jiang Yuan only did one take of the cover of "You Once Upon a Time". After the shoot, he checked the effect on site and thought it sounded good, so he left with the studio.
After just over a minute of singing, there were already some people watching not far away. They guessed that if the singing continued, they would probably gather around.
It’s not that I recognized Jiang Yuan, but with the team surrounding him at the scene, it looked like an internet celebrity filming a video on the spot.
When leaving, Jiang Yuan was still muttering that if he recorded "City Corner", it would attract a lot of onlookers.
As soon as Jiang Yuan’s cover was released online, data from all aspects began to soar, just like some of the short videos that Jiang Yuan uploaded on a daily basis.
However, because it is a relatively rare cover series, the data performed much better than in the past.
It can be seen from the comments that this cover has been loved by many fans.
[I guessed it, it’s this song hahaha! ]
[The scene and the singing are so suitable! ]
[I really like this kind of natural singing and playing, I can even hear some noisy ambient sounds! ]
[Sure enough, when I listened to it, I felt that this song was very suitable for Guo Jiangyuan's voice, it was so beautiful! ]
【When it comes to the chorus, the wind is so sensible. 】
[Can you please have more cover videos like this in the future? I love it! ]
[One person wrote a cover of the entire song in blood! 】
[Blood letter +1, hope to hear it at the concert. 】

After listening to Jiang Yuan's cover, the fans were very excited, and they did not forget to wish for the full version of the cover.
In addition to gaining the love of fans, this cover video also quickly broke out of the circle. It didn’t take long for topic terms such as #姜缘罩唱吕清新歌# to appear, attracting people to click on the video.
After more netizens listened to Jiang Yuan's cover, the video data soared again.
Many people left messages in the comment section saying that they like Jiang Yuan’s cover, which sounds more casual and gives people a very comfortable feeling.
After the video went viral, it also had a certain effect in promoting Lu Qing’s music.
Originally, it was mostly just ordinary music fans or Lu Qing's fans who were searching for related tracks in the new album.
After Jiang Yuan’s video went viral, "Once Upon a Time" quickly topped the search charts on music platforms.
The feedback from the real-time rankings also topped the list.
During the break of the concert rehearsal, Jiang Yuan also learned about the relevant situation from Zhang Qing.
Although I was a little surprised that such a video could achieve such a good effect, I was not surprised for too long because similar situations have happened before.
Sometimes, what people like more is this kind of casual cover performance.
Just like the video of Jiang Yuan singing drunkenly at a celebration party, it also received a large number of clicks and plays on the Internet and was praised as a god-like drunken singing performance.
So this time, faced with this situation, after informing Jiang Yuan, Zhang Qing began to discuss more seriously whether to include a cover of this song in the performances in the next two days as a surprise for fans.
Although they had not previously planned to cover songs from Lu Qingxin's album at the concert, Jiang Yuan and the others were not completely inflexible. After all, the current situation was a little different.
Hearing Zhang Qing's question, Jiang Yuan also thought seriously on the stage.
"If it's considered a complete performance, there's definitely no time to choreograph and prepare it now." Jiang Yuan said holding the microphone.
This was quickly echoed by the on-site staff.
After all, for every song performed at the concert, the corresponding stage animations must be prepared in advance, plus the scheduling of lighting and musicians. The entire performance is quite complicated, and the current time is definitely not enough.
“But if you’re just playing a few clips, adding some freeze-frame effects would be okay.” The music director thought about it on the spot and made a suggestion.
"Okay, then let's add this half of the song to the singing and playing part." Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan quickly made a decision on the stage.
After discussion, they finally decided not to perform the full version of the song at the concert, but to perform according to the video version.
In this way, it not only gives fans a surprise, but also achieves a similar effect as the cover.
The small explosion of the cover video of "You Once" was just a small episode in the rehearsal process and did not cause much impact on the rehearsal.
However, this kind of cheering did successfully make more people notice that Lu Qing had released a new album.
In addition, there were no other audio sources available except the version sung by Lu Qing, so because Jiang Yuan liked the song, he eventually added the version sung by Lu Qing to his playlist.
When Jiang Yuan finished the rehearsal and returned to the hotel, he received a thank-you message from Lu Qing.
When Jiang Yuan saw this news, he was a little surprised. After all, Lu Qing was a signed singer under his company, so it was his duty to help with the promotion.
After replying to Lu Qing's message, Jiang Yuan remembered the plan he had agreed with Zhang Qing to shoot a reaction video for the album before leaving.
"Let's just eat and listen at the same time." Jiang Yuan thought about it and felt that it would be quite awkward to just sit there and listen.
Plus I haven’t had dinner yet, so I can find something to do while recording the video.
Zhang Qing's eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Yuan's suggestion. After all, Jiang Yuan had previously made videos similar to eating broadcasts, which had a good broadcast effect on the Internet.
However, after returning to the hotel, I was unable to implement this shooting plan immediately, mainly because it would take some time for the takeaway to be delivered to the hotel.
So Jiang Yuan thought about it briefly and simply changed his plan of shooting a video to a live broadcast.
After giving fans a preview on Yuan Universe, Jiang Yuan started live streaming after a long absence.
It just so happened that there were only a small number of fans who met and interacted with me at the exhibition that day, so I decided to have more communication with my fans while reacting.
As soon as Jiang Yuan’s live broadcast started, a large number of fans flocked into the live broadcast room.
Following the release of the cover video, it was another surprise for the fans.
Looking at the fan IDs entering the live broadcast room, Jiang Yuan adjusted the position of the mobile phone holder and began to greet them.
After greeting the fans, Jiang Yuan stared at the comments for a while. After noticing someone asking why he was doing a live broadcast, Jiang Yuan explained the reason.
