Lin Xuan'er didn't start singing first. She waved to the guests first.
She knew that these people must be tired after dancing with her for so long.
Now they are probably thinking about going home quickly, just like me!
She wanted to take off her clothes and take a nice hot bath.
That must feel good.
She suddenly understood why Zhou Yiyang placed this song at the end of the album, and also understood why he insisted on letting her sing this song at the end.
Now, just standing here, she can hear the lyrics she sang many times in her mind again.
"Do you feel that life is actually quite difficult?" This voice came from a corner of the manor, but the voice had been processed, making it impossible to tell who the original voice belonged to.
"Sometimes I really don't understand why the company gave me this kind of personality. I wear a mask to work every day now. I'm so tired!" Another voice sounded, making many artists shudder, thinking that it was the voice in their hearts speaking.
"Have I ever told you that I don't actually want to be an actor? I really love the stage, but being an idol doesn't make as much money as being an actor."
"Self-media isn't free at all. I haven't been able to write a single word for a week. I think I've gone crazy!"
"Every time I see an award, I smile so hard. I'm actually not happy at all. Why don't they give me that award?"
"I work really hard. I only sleep five hours a day and spend the rest of my time improving myself. But why am I still not popular? Why?!"
These voices came from all directions. These were said by the artists whom Zhou Yiyang had secretly interviewed in advance.
These voices and words made many artists present feel uneasy.
Many of them have had similar thoughts. Late at night, they all become emo and doubt their lives.
At this time, they all looked at Lin Xuan'er on the stage, only to find that she had been sitting in front of the dressing table without them noticing.
The music started, so unexpectedly, yet it felt just right.
[When the glossy appearance fades and I remove my mascara
Can you still stand taller without taking off your high heels?
When the applause becomes less one day, there are still people smiling at me
Stop singing and dancing, am I important?
Lin Xuan'er sang softly, and Wang Xingrui's eyes turned red. Her picky ears immediately heard Lin Xuan'er's suppressed emotions.
And Lin Xuan'er did just as she sang, removing her makeup bit by bit in front of the mirror.
When she removed her mascara, when she wiped off her lipstick, when she took off her earrings... every time she took off an adornment, her smile became more sincere.
When she stood up without makeup, crying sounds were heard at the scene.
Almost all the artists who cried were female. They really felt that Lin Xuaner touched their hearts with this song, rather than just performing.
Tang Yue shook her head and said uncomfortably, "I really admire Xuan'er. If it were me, I really couldn't do this. It's too difficult for me to show my true self in front of so many people."
But Su Yin held Tang Yue's hand tightly and said gently, "Look, Xuan'er is still very beautiful. Tangtang, you are the same. The real you is still very beautiful."
Lin Xuan'er continued to sing, and scenes from the past flashed before her eyes. She seemed to have returned to her original self, the one who sang just for the sake of singing, without any utilitarian motives.
[The face in my mirror is so strange
Which one of me is real and which one is fake?
I define existence by the love of others
Fear of a blank life
But I forgot whether I should let the dream cover up
That girl
If you see me
I am timid and weak.
Will you dodge or say you love me more]
Many people opened their phones at this moment, not because they were bored or wanted to take selfies, but because they wanted to look at themselves in the mirror as Lin Xuaner sang.
Some people saw a better version of themselves. They clenched their fists, feeling relieved, and wanted to applaud the little boy and girl from back then and say:
"Thank you. I have never lost sight of my goal in these ten years."
I also saw a strange and unhappy self.
They gritted their teeth, and every word of the lyrics they heard felt like a knife stabbing into their hearts.
Seeing themselves back then, they seemed to be only able to say sorry or to hold on.
For many artists, they can empathize with every word Lin Xuaner sang.
Wen Yuan has always felt that at her age, she is already a senior and should not be so sensitive.
But now her tears were falling uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
She had once stood at the top, and it had been such a great feeling. But now, she was slipping down day by day.
She also knew that if she wanted to hold a concert, she would have to choose a smaller venue.
Faced with a smaller and smaller stage and increasingly faint applause, she has no choice but to accept herself as she is.
Helian Bei likes this song very much, or rather, it is his favorite song tonight.
His experience is quite unique, and he can be said to be still at the top of his game today. However, Helian Bei couldn't agree more with Lin Xuaner's lyrics: all of them, whether they are artists or in other professions, should learn to love themselves.
Even though you may not be satisfied now, and you may have become the person you hate the most, you still have to love yourself.
Lin Xuan'er was barefoot in the moonlight, without any makeup, and not even any pretty clothes.
If some unscrupulous media took this scene and posted it online, some people might think that Lin Xuaner had a mental breakdown.
But now, every audience member who sees Lin Xuan'er like this cannot say such words. They even think that Lin Xuan'er is very suitable for this outfit tonight.
She looks more beautiful and charming now.
Wang Xingrui took a deep breath and even started singing along with Lin Xuaner on the stage.
"Brother Yang, I really like this song. Xuan'er sings it so tenderly."
Zhou Yiyang nodded. Of course he could hear that Lin Xuaner was completely immersed in the song when she sang it.
She must have thought of singing this song at her farewell concert several years later.
Perhaps in ten, twenty, or thirty years, as they grow older and their looks fade, the four of them will face irreversible consequences such as declining form and loss of fans.
At that time, if they sing this song again, it will probably be even more touching.
And now this song is the perfect ending for tonight's audition.
Even if the media people have the hardest hearts, their hearts will soften after hearing this song.
In the end, Lin Xuaner jumped off the stage and sat next to her three good sisters, ending the audition in this unexpected but extremely heartwarming way.
