OOC Thread | WV51 in Kyvivre | Host Bid
The stadium was filled to capacity, the audience were muttering to themselves waiting for the contest to begin. An orchestra present on the stage began to tune their instruments while a young man walks through the audience towards the front of the stage. Once he made his way up to the front of the stage, he clicked his fingers; attracting the attention of the audience and causing the orchestra to stop tuning their instrument. He sung the opening line of the opening act to kick off the WorldVision Song Contest!
Opening Act - Welcome to Mercedini
Tune: The Lorax OST - Thneedville
Goooooood Evening!
(Woooooooooo)
When the music kicks in, a large group of people walk up onto the stage wearing clothes of different occupations; businessmen, lollipop ladies, school children, police, firemen etc. The all spread themselves across the stage while marching on the spot in time with the music, they all wave to the audience and receive a large cheer when they start singing the opening verse together.
Mercedini!
We will welcome you a-a-a-a-all.
You'll have a ball, with ice-rinks and malls.
We've got a massive purse-dini.
The camera moves onto the stage and weaves it's way around the multitude of people on the stage, each of the people sing and wave into the camera at the people watching at home as the camera passing. The LED screen behind them displays pictures of cities and landscapes within Mercedini.
Mercedini!
It's Novapax's bees knee-ee-ee-ees.
Getting on with us, is a real breeze.
Just fill in the visa, pretty please!
The camera swaps to the side island where the pre-SongSearch participants Samuel Borlaviac and 5CARLET are standing. When the lyrics 'So we made SongSearch' are sung, they all fall through a trapdoor and are replaced by 7Seas and Rachel Nollov who then wave into the camera like nothing happened. Normality is resumed when the camera swaps to the central one which encompasses the entire stage.
Mercedini
Our songs don't do w-e-e-ell.
So we made SongSearch.
Now they're all pretty swell!
Looks like we broke the curse-dini!
The LED screen then switches to an aesthetic which shows a skyline with buildings which grow and get bigger across the screen to illustrate the lyrics on-screen. At the end of the verse, a small child is hoisted up and sings the final line, which gets a cheer from the audience.
Mercedini
We want you to know
This is where ideas, and businesses grow.
(So come and visit, and say hello!)
More people walk on the stage, this time dressed as surfers and snowboarders to illustrate the lyrics once again. Then, an old lady dressed as a nun takes centre stage to turn the song into a gospel-style song. The camera gets elevated as lights shine down on the performers on the stage, before the song turns back to normal.
Mercedini,
The weather; you can't say no.
From Langtree's sun to Orga's snow.
Money built this auditorium,
And the Sports City Stadium!
Stadium! Sta-a-a-a-adium.
The camera moves back onto the stage and zips through the crowd of people on it. The door at the back of the stage opens to reveal the Prime Minister to sing his contribution to the song contest. The camera gives a close-up to him as he starts to sing.
Prime Minister:
Dimitry Larmee-e-e-e-e!
The leader of, the Liberal Party.
Here to govern the country!
He walks forward and the camera tracks him as he walks over to the side island with some of the people that were onstage. The camera then cuts to the back of the arena to show the vast crowd and the lights emitting from the stage.
I decide what's best for Mercedini.
From taxation to foreign policy.
We welcome all of your trade deals!'
Mercedini!
Mercedini!
More people join the others on stage before building to a crescendo where confetti, sparks and fire all explode from the stage the song explodes in delight. The orchestra at the sides are playing their instruments while everyone else is singing, dancing and jumping around with joy on the stage. The rest of the audience waves the flags and are dancing their own dance in the crowd.
(hip hooray, hip hooray, hip hip hooray!)
Mercedini!
Hope you enjoy your stay.
(It's like livin' in paradise!)
It's Perfect!
You won't take that away!
Everything's worse-dini,
Very diverse-dini,
Just immerse-dini!
We welcome you to...
Meeeeeercedini!
The lights stop moving and focus solely on the performers on stage. Everyone throws their arms up in the air and looks up to the sky to signal the end of the song, the crowd erupts with applause and waves their flags frantically. The camera moves back to the rear of the stadium to show the crowd.
The lights go out on the stage and all the performers onstage quickly scuttle off the stage. A female voice announces itself over the arena speakers to welcome the hosts on stage.
"Welcome to the 52nd WorldVision Song Contest LIVE from the Ignavi Auditorium. Please welcome your hosts, Miles Castrada and Petra Ogdenovic!!"
Miles: Hello Everybody! Welcome to Mercedini for the 52nd WorldVision Song Contest, I'm Miles Castrada...
