Call Me by Fire 4
The performances from the 3rd Concert (4th Round) that impressed me the most
🔥 1. "Upstream" by Shi Kai, Aruna, and Jing Long
High-energy song + martial-arts beat-down live onstage. A group of thieves (played by Shi Kai and Jing Long) has finished a successful heist and is back in their lair when another group (Aruna) shows up to steal their loot.
This moves too fast to screencap properly, and there weren't any action photos from the production team's photographers, so, please: JUST WATCH THE VIDEO! And Jing Long's (on couch) vocal fluctuations are💯
Did Aruna intimidate official group leader Shi Kai into doing this? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely!
🔥 2. "Cage" by Reno Wang, Allen Lin, Evan Yo, Nine
⚠Warning! Dark themes. Depictions of sui/cide (censoring to avoid the bot), abuse, drowning
The themes are really dark, but the performance is extremely well done and impressive. Reno Wang and Allen Lin play musicians who keep their composer (Nine) and violinist (Evan Yo) locked up in a dungeon and abuse them, until the composer jumps into a water vault to end it all.
Note: Nine is a certified diver and knows how to do this safely. And he seemed very happy to do it. "I can stay in there longer! :D" Others: "NO!" Producer: "And you CAN'T laugh while you're in there!" Nine: "OK OK"
🔥 3. "D-I-S-C-O" by Liang Long, Jerry Yuan, and Jason
For all the previous one was dark, this one's light and wholesome, and definitely catchy!
Rivals-to-Friends trope! Liang Long and Jason play an older and younger actor, respectively. They look down on each other and just Do Not get along. Jerry Yuan plays their agent. Then they have a disco-dance-off and become friends.
Scores, for the curious, as comment to avoid spoilers.
