Every year before the official "Super Bowl" game, there will be a "Super Bowl LIVE" warm-up performance, which is the "Super Bowl" warm-up show.

Pre-shows usually invite relatively famous celebrities, but there will be a large number of performers.

Like this year, Idina Menzel started the show by singing the theme song "Let It Go" from "Frozen", and Taylor Swift was the finale on the last day. In between, there were some lesser-known European and American singers and bands. .

Gu Wei's performance was on the afternoon of February 3rd, local time in the United States, and he was one of the last people to perform.

On the night of the 2nd, he went to the hotel to rest for the night. Early the next morning, Gu Wei first accepted an interview with Tengxun Sports.

Tencent Sports is the exclusive digital live streaming partner of Major League Rugby in China and has exclusive broadcast rights.

“I am honored to be named an ambassador for one of the most recognized sports and entertainment events in the world.

Thank you to the NFL and the Super Bowl organizing committee for inviting me to participate in the live Super Bowl celebrations before the game."

Facing the reporter's interview, Gu Wei said with a smile.

"Currently, Gu Wei's Instagram has more than 10 million fans. Will the next step be to develop internationally and focus on music?"

"I still want to thank everyone for their love for me, but my career is mainly in China, and I have always considered myself a first-rate actor, a second-rate director, and a third-rate singer.

If I have the opportunity in the future, I hope to bring more and better music to my fans, but I also hope that everyone will pay attention to my film and television works."

The interview was over, and after eating something to pad my stomach at noon, Gu Wei and his entourage came to the performance venue to wait.

The temperature in Minneapolis is relatively low in January, but no matter how cold the weather is, it can't stop the enthusiasm of fans and fans.

“The food here in the United States is still as bad as ever.”

"There are several Chinese restaurants in the city. Do you want me to reserve their seats for you, the boss?"

"Forget it, the Chinese restaurants here have been adjusted to suit the tastes of the locals. I can't get used to it. For dinner, I'll book a Michelin restaurant with a better reputation."

"clear."

Although this trip to the United States was highly hyped on the Internet, fans celebrated each other happily, feeling that their idols were indeed different from other domestic celebrities, and were truly international celebrities, unique in domestic entertainment.

But Gu Wei himself didn't take it too seriously.

Just like what he said to Liu Yifei, "Super Bowl Live" is not the "Super Bowl Halftime Show" and there really is nothing to show off.

If it hadn't been for the request of his two endorsement sponsors, he wouldn't have bothered to come so far.

Of course, Gu Wei is just a man who is full and doesn't know what he is hungry for. If other popular male celebrities in the country get this opportunity, the press will be sold all over the place.

The fan rally at noon ended, and at 4 p.m., veteran singer Bob Mold took the stage to sing a rock song, Fix It, to warm up the venue.

Bob Mold was a member of the band Husker Du in the 1980s.

The Husker Du Band is a post-punk band with a hardcore style that once influenced the development of alternative rock.

After the band disbanded, he became an independent musician and singer, and also released his own album.

"Singing rock music at such an old age, is it love or lack of money?" Gu Wei looked at the old man with gray hair and a leather jacket and jeans on the stage, holding an electric guitar as if he was trapped in his own world.

"Boss, it's time for you to start preparing. After the Arcade Fire Band, it will be our turn."

Gu Wei is a well-deserved big star in China, and his influence in Asia is also very large, but in the United States, not many people know him.

Even though several songs from that year were hits, they were still popular but not popular.

Just like when many people in China listen to English songs, many of the melodies are familiar to them, but if you ask who sang the song and what the singer's name is and what he looks like, few of them know.

So when waiting for the show, many singers just glanced at Gu Wei's face and were not surprised.

There were quite a few female singers and staff who couldn't help but look in his direction after seeing Gu Wei's appearance.

Although I don’t know who it is, he is so handsome and very attractive.

Arcade Fire is an independent rock band from Montreal, Canada. They are quite famous. They once released an album [The Suburbs], which won the 53rd Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

The songs performed live today were all songs from The Suburbs.

It was getting late, the lights around the performance venue were on, and there was already a sea of ​​people under the stage. After a period of warm-up, the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience was also aroused.

"Gu Wei, why don't you come on stage? It's a bit cold today!"

"Come on, according to the program list issued by the organizer, Gu Wei will appear next!"

“I’m so looking forward to it, it’s my first time to hear Gu Wei sing live.

His fans suffered so much that he only played one or two songs a year. The key was that they couldn't listen to the songs live, so he never held any concerts.

Before this, if you wanted to hear Gu Wei sing live, you had to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and tickets for the Spring Festival Gala were not something you could buy with money."

At the side of the stage, a group of young people with obviously yellow faces gathered together. They were international students from New York University, both male and female.

There were many people like them in the venue, who came from major universities in the United States just to watch Gu Wei perform live.

For Chinese people, even those who study abroad, they are not very interested in the Super Bowl, but if they can watch Gu Wei's performance live, it is okay to spend some time and money.

Especially those who can study abroad are basically young people whose families are not short of money. Almost 6 out of 10 are fans of Gu Wei, and the remaining 4 must have heard his songs and watched his dramas.

After all, even if you don’t watch [Wolf Warrior 2], [Nirvana in Fire], or the various idol dramas that become popular every year, you can’t help but watch the Spring Festival Gala.

As long as you surf the Internet, listen to songs, and watch dramas, there will always be channels for you to come into contact with Gu Wei's works.

After the last song of the Arcade Fire band, the international student fans at the scene could no longer restrain their excitement and shouted their idol's name.

"Gu Wei! Gu Wei! Gu Wei!"

The local people in the United States are a little confused, but it is normal for fans to be enthusiastic about the singers who appear at the concert.

"Will you hold the line

When every one of them is giving up or giving in tell me

In this house of mine

"

As the accompaniment sounded, Gu Wei wore a white jacket with some metal hangings on it. His makeup was also in a rock style, and he walked onto the stage from the side with a microphone.

This is a look specially designed for him by the stylist based on the style of the song he sings today.

Gu Wei chose to open with [natural]. This song is explosive and full of swelling energy. With the support of simple and powerful electronic drum beats, it has the most majestic momentum.

Since he came to perform, he had to show his best. Gu Wei didn't want these European and American singers to compete and make people think that he was just here to mess around.

"Wow! It turns out to be this song, [natural]! One of my favorite rock songs!"

"This guy is the original singer of [Natural]. I remembered that there was a scandal with Scarlett last year! His name seems to be Gu."

"Oh my God, he is so handsome. An Oriental is so handsome!"

After Gu Wei appeared on the stage, fans from China went completely crazy, screaming one after another.

"And you're standing on the edge face up 'cause you're aNatural

A beating heart of stone

You gotta be so cold

To make it in this world

"

Soon, [Natural] reached its climax. Not only Gu Wei's fans, but all the fans in the audience became excited. Everyone raised their hands and shouted loudly to the tune of the song. Everyone was extremely excited.

[Natural] is a typical rock music style with a very strong sense of rhythm.

The melody of the whole song is exquisite and progressive, like an increasingly violent wave, full of passion and inspiring fans to release themselves and work hard.

The explosive drum beats and inspiring lyrics are exciting to listen to, and Gu Wei's explosive voice is on full display in the song's chorus.

When he reached the climax of the song and looked at the emotionally invested fans in the audience, Gu Wei fixed the microphone in his hand to the stand, then took off his jacket and threw it on the ground.

Inside was a white, patterned, tight-fitting half-sleeve, and the powerful muscle outlines of his body were vaguely visible as he moved around. The fans in the audience screamed even more excitedly when they saw this scene.

"Who's performing now?"

The atmosphere in the venue exploded, and the fans' deafening screams reached the backstage.

It passed through the walls and reached the ears of Swift who was putting on makeup in the lounge.

In terms of popularity and status, Taylor Swift is definitely the biggest performer today, and she is also the singer who made the finale.

After arriving at the venue at noon, she had been preparing in the single lounge at the back. She probably knew about the performances of other singers in the afternoon. This was the first time that the fans had such a violent reaction.

"It's a singer from China, his name is Gu Wei." The assistant said, looking at the program list in his hand.

"From China? Gu?" Taylor thought for a while.

"Is it the original song of [Dance Monkey]?"

This song was written by Gu Wei when he was recording "Flower Flower 3" at the beginning of last year. It has been popular in Europe and the United States for a while. It is one of his recent songs, and Taylor has also heard of it.

"Yes, but the song he sang today did not include [Dance Monkey], but two old songs released a few years ago, and an original new song."

The corners of Taylor's mouth curled up slightly.

"It's interesting. I know this person. He has released a few songs since his debut. He doesn't even have one song every year, but his first songs are all popular classics."

“It is said online that Gu’s main occupation is an actor and singing is just a hobby.

He was also ranked first among the 100 most handsome faces in the world by TC Candler in 2016 and 2017.

Together with Scarlett Johansson, she is the global brand spokesperson of Louis Vuitton.

There were rumors of an affair between the two at last year's Paris Fashion Week."

Seeing that his artist was interested, the assistant quickly searched for some information about Gu Wei on the Internet.

These things can be found online.

"After he finishes singing, it's my turn, right?"

"Yes, it will be time for us to wait for you in a while."

"Okay, let's go now, just in time to listen to the two songs behind this Gu."

[Natural] completely ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene. After one song, both domestic fans and local Americans were in high spirits and excited.

This song is indeed a war song that is said to be a must-listen for playing games. After listening to it, I feel full of passion and power.

"Gu! Gu! Gu"

After the performance, the foreigners also shouted along with the domestic fans.

Gu Wei was also very satisfied with the atmosphere at the scene. After singing a song, he showed a smile, holding the microphone in one hand and raising the other hand high.

'Is it burning? It's just begun.'

Immediately afterwards, the dynamic melody struck again, this time it was another explosive song [sold out] by Gu Wei.

The opening sound is like a sound coming from the vast wilderness, leading all fans into a world of chaos.

"I ain't like no one you met before

I'm running for the front

When they're all running for the door

"

This song is worthy of being the must-have BGM for superhero clips on Douyin later. It has a dynamic rhythm and is simply an epic high-burning war song. It is sonorous, powerful and majestic. Fans feel like the god of war when they listen to it.

If the song [natural] just now made everyone full of strength, then this song [sold out] urges you to fight.

"I'm sold out

With every single step that I take now

With every drop of blood left in my veins

"

When the song reached its climax, all the fans at the scene started humming along, and the last day of "Super Bowl Live" felt like Gu Wei had turned it into his own concert.

“I liked these two songs very much before, but they were not in line with my music style.

The singing is very good, both the voice and singing skills are perfect, and there is almost no fault.

This Gu looks really handsome in the photos online, but I don’t know what he looks like in real life.”

In the waiting area, Taylor was listening to the song. Through some gaps in the cover, he could see the enthusiastic reactions of the fans and Gu Wei's figure on the stage.

Unfortunately, due to the angle, she couldn't see the front face.

“But the figure looks good”

"It's so cool. I didn't expect to hear Gu Wei singing live so much. It's so exciting!"

"Who says it's not? I guess, I feel sad when I think that I may never hear such an exciting concert again!"

"You're stupid, this isn't a concert, it's Super Bowl Live. Gu Wei has one song left!"

"It's said to be a new song. I'm really looking forward to it. Just this new song. It's enough to come from such a distance!"

"Why don't you feel good after listening to [natural] and [sold out]?"

"."

Closest to the stage, a group of international students were twisting their bodies to the rhythm and discussing with each other.

[Sold Out] ended, the fans present were still unfinished, and the melody of Gu Wei's last song came to mind.

"Look out for yourself

I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows

For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground

"

"Holy crap, it's actually rap! Gu Wei's new song actually starts with rap!"

"Is this his first rap song? But it sounds really good. I love this rhythm!"

"This does not disparage all the songs and singers in China [with hip-hop]!"

"Nonsense, they are not on the same level at all, okay?"

Everyone was extremely surprised that Gu Wei, who had already sung two transcendent rock war songs, turned out to be a rap song for his third song.

It is not accurate to say that it is rap. To be more precise, it should be a combination of rap and rock, an alternative rock song - [enemy].

However, no matter what type it is, the essential style has not changed much. It is still passionate and super exciting, and the fans who listen to it are very excited.

[enemy] is actually the English theme song written by Dream Dragon Band for [League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities] in 2021 at the invitation of [Riot Company].

It became a hit all over the world as soon as it was released. At the opening ceremony of the [2021 League of Legends Global Finals] S11 Season Global Finals, the Dream Dragon Band led the performance of this song, and the effect was explosive!

Everyone knows that the Chinese theme song of [Battle of Two Cities] is another song by Gu Wei [Lonely Warrior].

Now it is complete in both Chinese and English.

“I’ve never heard this song before, is it his new song?

The style is innovative enough, but you can still hear the rock atmosphere that is in the same vein as [natura].”

Taylor's eyes became brighter and brighter while listening to Gu Wei's new song.

It’s no wonder the fans at the venue were so excited when they sang three songs of such high quality.

"The atmosphere at the venue was so high that I couldn't get up on stage after a while."

Swift said this, but she was not worried at all, because she is Taylor Swift and she has absolute confidence in her music.

"Gu will step down from the stage in a while. Please help me keep him here. After I finish the performance, I will come down and get to know him."

With this in mind, Swift said to the assistant beside her.

"Okay." The assistant didn't care. It's normal for musicians to appreciate each other's talents. Once they get to know each other, they might collaborate in the future and invite them to sing or something.
