Chapter 208 Stage Performance
Chapter 208
"New Year's Eve, singing, kangaroos! I'm so excited!!!"
Star Glory Video released the guest list for this year's New Year's Eve concert well in advance. Although they knew Lin Yuan would be there, fans only confirmed the fact when reporters spotted him.
"It feels like it's been ages since I've heard Kangaroo live!!"
"I will definitely watch Xingyao Video the whole year and won't watch any other platforms."
"Kobayashi, I'm here!!!"
Even Xingyao Video did not expect that after the official guest list was released, the post announcing the guest list would be forwarded more than 100,000 times.
The reaction from Lin Yuan's fans was much more enthusiastic than expected.
This buzz continued even after the New Year's Eve concert began airing.
Since the airing of "Just Right You", Xingyao Video has not collaborated with Lin Yuan again. Except for the year "1895" was released, Lin Yuan has not participated in Xingyao Video's New Year's Eve gala.
The platform invited Lin Yuan this year because it was anticipated that the fans' enthusiasm would explode after such a long period of no collaboration.
But to my surprise, the outbreak was so intense.
Since the start of the New Year's Eve concert live stream, the screen has been flooded with comments mentioning "Lin Yuan".
"At this rate, we can't afford not to cooperate with Lin Yuan next year," the senior executives remarked.
No one expected that even though Lin Yuan hadn't filmed a drama for a long time, his fans would still be so enthusiastic.
...
Sangzi also waited for the live broadcast without blinking.
She has listened to "Red" and "Love" countless times, but Lin Yuan does not plan to sing these two songs at this year's New Year's Eve concert.
She still felt some regret.
She only hoped that one day in the future, Lin Yuan could sing these two songs at her own concert—although she didn't know how long that future would be.
But Lin Yuan promised to hold a concert.
He will always keep his promises.
Although Sangzi hasn't seen Lin Yuan often in the past few years since becoming a fan, she has become familiar with his style of keeping his word.
She didn't believe what others said, but she believed what Lin Yuan said.
Starting with "Tomorrow's Tomorrow," she pursued the other person with this kind of heart-wrenching feeling.
The New Year's Eve concert also invited well-known actors, including popular on-screen couples from this year and actors who have long collaborated with Xingyao Video.
It's worth mentioning that He Mian also came.
Sang Zi thought that, given Xingyao Video's style, they might arrange a duet between Lin Yuan and He Mian, but to her surprise, the platform didn't do that; He Mian sang a solo.
"After all, it's not a CP that Xingyao Video created itself. If they're just trying to promote Lin Yuan and He Mian now, they're just giving 'Double Blade' more traffic."
Lin Yuan and Zheng Huinong collaborated again.
Even without collaborating with He Mian, Lin Yuan's reunion with Zheng Huinong after "Dahlia" still generated considerable anticipation among fans.
This time, the two sang a song from Zheng Huinong's new album.
After the playlist was released, Sangzi listened to Zheng Huinong's new album "Lyric" and her only thought was that there was not a single song on the album that was easy to sing.
Can Lin Yuan handle it?
She couldn't help but look forward to it.
Because a long time ago, Lin Yuan had given her many surprises with his music.
At the New Year's Eve concert, Sang Zi didn't listen to much of the other singers' performances; she was most looking forward to Lin Yuan's.
"They're here! They're here!!"
The moment Lin Yuan stepped onto the stage, Sang Zi made a point of washing her face. She had been a little sleepy, but now she was completely awake.
"Are they here?"
"The mouse is there! Search for the mouse!!"
The previous performer had already left the stage, and the lights suddenly went out. The song performed by that guest had a cool and aloof style, so the stage lighting was slightly dim, presenting a hazy blue hue.
A few seconds after the lights went out, a string of fluorescent yellow lights suddenly lit up on the stage.
It's similar to a chick's yellow color, giving her a very warm feeling.
A burst of lively music started playing, and then a long string of cat photos was projected onto the stage screen.
There were so many cats, and they were all orange. Sangzi recognized them at a glance. Judging from the terrible photography, there was no doubt that this was Lin Yuan's work.
"I can't stand this person anymore. They don't post anything for a month, but they're very enthusiastic about posting pictures of cats."
"Hilarious! His alternate account has been dug up. It's full of cat pictures. I didn't even know he had an alternate account before."
"+1, I went to check it out because I heard so much about it. Other people's alternate accounts are either showing off their love or complaining about their peers, but this person's are all cats. I'm speechless. Does this person even have any self-awareness as a celebrity?"
Sang Zi blinked and, following the information revealed in the comments, dug up Lin Yuan's alternate account.
What kind of alt account is this?
It's basically a cat-posting bot. Although the photography skills are terrible, the love for cats is shown without reservation.
No wonder the fans recognized the secret alternate account at a glance.
Such an ugly art style is indeed difficult for the average person to imitate.
She was convinced.
Let's get down to business.
Even if you just want to improve your photography skills, you should stop showing off here.
Wasn't anyone going to stop him?
"At this point, besides sending private messages to the kangaroo, his photography skills are doing a huge disservice to the kitten's appearance, and there's nothing we can do about it."
Sang Zi: "..."
To some extent, being a fan is quite tiring. Besides caring about the idol's career, you also have to pay attention to their cats and their photography skills.
The main reason is... that no one else is as hopeless as Lin Yuan.
Sang Zi quickly finished peeking at Lin Yuan's alternate account—it wasn't really peeking, when she checked Lin Yuan's alternate account, it already had nearly 200,000 followers.
On stage at this moment, Lin Yuan is already singing the song "Let the World Bless the Kitten".
Sang Zi was so busy checking the trumpet that she missed the moment Lin Yuan stepped onto the stage.
Lin Yuan's outfit today was far less glamorous than the previous times. Sang Zi remembered that when Lin Yuan participated in the New Year's Eve concert before, decorations such as feathers and rhinestones were indispensable, and he even seemed to have taken a prince-like route.
At this moment, against the backdrop of cats, Lin Yuan was wearing a T-shirt with an orange cat printed on it. If you looked closely at the orange cat's head, you would find that it was exactly the same as the one in Lin Yuan's house. Underneath the T-shirt was a pair of light blue jeans, loose and baggy, showing a bit of casualness.
Sang Zi could say that Lin Yuan's appearance today is exactly what cats would love.
Don't love too much.
Then—she heard the most adorable sound in the world.
That's right, she has a strong fan filter for Lin Yuan. When Lin Yuan's voice sounds a bit more lively and crisp, she can hear a lot of vitality in it.
Moreover, Lin Yuan was very happy.
Throughout the song, he maintained a lively expression; Sangzi hadn't seen Lin Yuan so happy in a long time.
His lips curved into a smile, his eyes sparkled, and his dimples were faintly visible. Moreover—his arms were waving like propellers.
"..."
"An ancient beast that is tens of millions of years old."
"..."
"Tear the earth upside down, tear off your wig and dance with it."
"I don't want to be a pig living in this world."
Sang Zi could clearly hear that Lin Yuan was deliberately speaking in a high-pitched voice.
But so what?
Being cute is enough!
On stage, the cat in the background was baring its teeth and claws, looking more lively than before. And just as the cat background became lively, Lin Yuan suddenly started running on stage.
He ran from one side to the other, and then to the middle. As he ran, he bent down and gave a light high-five to the audience in the front row.
Perhaps because of his relaxed appearance, Lin Yuan ran with light steps. Wherever he went, a loud scream rang out, almost enough to overturn the entire stage.
Even in front of the screen, Sangzi could hear the screams with incredible clarity.
Lin Yuan kept singing "Turning the Earth Upside Down," but the Earth wasn't actually turned upside down by him. However, tonight, the stage was completely turned upside down by Lin Yuan.
The song "Little Cat's Blessing" doesn't require much singing skill; just being lively and cheerful is enough.
Judging from the audience's reaction at this moment, it is clear that the song has achieved its intended effect.
While Lin Yuan was singing on stage, Sang Zi's smile never faded.
Why didn't I buy a ticket at the door?
“I went to the New Year’s Eve concert the past two years, but I didn’t go this year. If I had known that I could high-five Lin Yuan, I would have bought a first-row ticket no matter what.”
"I regret it now, I regret it so much."
"Regret +1".
Sangzi also regretted it, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she really didn't have time to participate in the New Year's Eve concert this year.
Although she envied the audience members on stage who could have close contact with Lin Yuan, as a fan, she also felt happy seeing Lin Yuan so joyful on the screen.
Lin Yuan's life is much more low-key than that of many celebrities. Yu Ying and He Xun occasionally mention Lin Yuan when they attend events, as do other celebrities who have worked with him. Through their descriptions, Lin Yuan's daily life has gradually been revealed to his fans.
Compared to other celebrities, Lin Yuan's life can be described as monotonous and dull. He has very few hobbies outside of work, which sometimes makes his fans worry.
As an actor and singer, Lin Yuan has always presented his works to his fans with full emotion.
So how does Lin Yuan manage his emotions in private?
Nobody knows.
Perhaps Lin Yuan enjoys solitude, or perhaps he fears loneliness, but even in his low points, he doesn't easily confide in his fans.
After getting a cat, Lin Yuan's fans could finally feel his happiness. He shared more of his daily life and wrote songs for his cat.
He is now a happy Lin Yuan.
Once this was confirmed, the fans were also very happy.
Lin Yuan, running on the stage, was also sharing his joyful feelings with his fans.
"That's wonderful."
"Um!!"
Sang Zi likes Lin Yuan to sing cheerful songs and act in cheerful works. Although those sad roles can bring Lin Yuan more glory, it is clear that Lin Yuan is the kind of actor who can get into character easily.
Sang Zi did not want those tragic characters to affect Lin Yuan himself.
Lin Yuan enriched her life, and she naturally hoped that Lin Yuan would also live a colorful life.
The second song Lin Yuan will sing tonight is "咫尺" (Zhi Chi), a collaboration with Zheng Huinong.
On the big screen, the cat pattern gradually disappeared, and Lin Yuan put on a dark trench coat.
The song "咫尺" has a melancholic undertone.
The first thing that came to mind was Zheng Huinong's raised voice. When Zheng Huinong sang a song, it naturally carried a sharp and profound quality, even though "Zhi Chi" revealed sadness.
Sang Zi had only heard the solo version of "咫尺" and didn't know how Lin Yuan would handle the song.
Then, the next second, she heard a sound that seemed to be slowly pushed to the surface from the depths of the earth, like an explosion. At first, it was muffled, but then it struck the hearts of the listeners with its rich emotion.
How should I describe it?
If Zheng Huinong's voice was sharp, like a sword, then Lin Yuan was enveloped by the aura surrounding that sword. He wasn't cut apart by the sword; instead, he swirled and continuously enveloped it until he became one with the sword.
"Though we are physically close, our hearts are worlds apart."
"The world cannot tolerate it."
When he sang the chorus, Lin Yuan's voice sounded as if he had just cried; his emotions were suppressed before bursting out—this was Lin Yuan's forte.
For Sang Zi, "咫尺" is a completely different song from "小猫祝福".
Just a few minutes ago, she was listening to Lin Yuan sing "Little Cat's Blessing," but now she felt that the two songs were performed by different people.
That's what makes Lin Yuan so formidable.
Sangzi had already foreseen her fate: to repeat herself over and over again, in a never-ending cycle.
There was nothing she could do; she was a big fan of Lin Yuan's stage performances.
