On stage, the host handed the trophy to Xu Yanyu and said, "Your story has deeply moved us."
The stories he tells are not just those in movies, but also stories about people outside of movies.
"Thank you!" Xu Yanyu accepted the trophy.
After receiving the trophy, Xu Yanyu turned to leave.
The host then stopped her, saying, "She hasn't given her acceptance speech yet."
"Huh?" Xu Yanyu tilted her head and looked at the host with some confusion.
Even if she had a system, she couldn't make someone who had already left speak.
The audience was also confused by the host's words.
At this point, the host said, "I think the movie theme song you sang perfectly represents her voice. Would you mind singing it live?"
Xu Yanyu looked at the host, "Is it the song 'Courage to Change'?"
This song is currently at number one on the U Chart.
Many people below had heard this song before, so when they heard the song title, they all had an expression of sudden realization.
"Oh my god! Xu Yanyu actually sang 'Courage to Change'?"
"I've finally made contact! Our Best Actress is also such an excellent singer?"
"That's amazing!"
...
Xu Yanyu's songs are very popular worldwide, and her name is also very famous, but because she has an Asian face, people in Europe and America sometimes don't recognize her.
In addition, Xu Yanyu's activities have been mainly within China, so overseas audiences don't have many channels to pay attention to her appearance.
However, after the host's words, people around the world who follow international film festivals finally realized that China has produced a remarkable artist.
The host's attention wasn't on the audience; he smiled and looked at Xu Yanyu, "Yes! That's the song."
He repeated, "Could you sing for us here?"
“Yes, that’s fine!” Xu Yanyu nodded.
The host stepped off the stage, the lights gradually dimmed, and the large screen behind him became more prominent.
The deep, somber music slowly began to play.
Xu Yanyu held the microphone and looked down at the audience.
Everyone in the audience was staring intently at her.
The intro ended quickly, and Xu Yanyu raised the microphone and began to sing slowly and powerfully.
【World, I want to leave you better.
World, I want to make you a better place.
I want my life to matter.
I want to make my life meaningful.
【I am afraid I have no purpose here.
But I'm afraid I don't know why I'm here.
...
As soon as Xu Yanyu spoke, all the discussions below stopped.
This is the first time people outside of China have heard Xu Yanyu perform live.
Her voice has a deep, powerful quality, which, combined with the strong rhythm of the accompaniment, makes it seem as if she is telling a story or calling out something.
In fact, everyone's feeling was correct.
The song "Courage to Change" was an inspirational song sung by Australian female singer Sia in her previous life.
Xu Yanyu initially chose this song as the movie's theme song simply because it better aligned with Director Yan's original intention in making the film.
Recognize your own value as a human being and learn to protect yourself.
It further calls on the public not to be afraid of evil forces, but to unite and change themselves and the world.
The large screen behind them slowly played movie clips along with accompanying narration.
Lin Wei, the female lead, gave birth to that child, but her body was severely damaged due to the large doses of ovulation-inducing drugs she used during her dilation and curettage (D&C) process.
She lost the right to be a mother again.
The money she paid at a high price could not bring her mother back to life.
Her friend Wang Kexin died in bed while nine months pregnant.
In despair, Lin Wei believed that she was responsible for all the tragedies.
She blamed herself, went insane, and started self-harming...
Later, she met Ma Chunhua, who had been through countless rounds of masturbation.
She saw the beginning of all the changes, and she clearly realized that she was, in fact, just a victim herself.
Having suddenly realized her mistakes, Lin Wei continues to struggle throughout her life...
Many others, like her, stood up.
I listened to Xu Yanyu's songs while watching the scene on the screen filled with blood and tears.
Xu Yanyu's highly infectious voice allowed the audience to experience the rebirth that blossoms in the face of despair.
Some more emotional women even covered their noses and turned their eyes away, unable to look at the images on the big screen.
Looking at the images on the screen, Yu Jingya couldn't help but exclaim, "How fortunate I am to be able to participate in the production of this work."
“Yes!” This time, Han Meng didn’t disagree with Yu Jingya.
Xu Yanyu continued singing, her voice becoming increasingly high-pitched.
【We don't have to stay here, stuck in the weeds.
We don't need to stay where we are, getting stuck in the weeds.
【Have I the courage to change?
Can I muster the courage to choose change?
...
The screen then switched to display a photo of Yan Honglian.
First, she was lying in a hospital bed, then she was directing the film set from a wheelchair...
