However, upon seeing the aged version of Wang Yueheng, a hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of all the fans.
I don't understand why Wang Yueheng suddenly appeared in such a "down-to-earth" and even self-destructive way.
The camera then shifts to another scene.
Wang Yueheng, now middle-aged, reappeared on set as an extra.
He was frequently scolded by the surrounding actors or driven away impatiently by the director.
In the final scene, Wang Yueheng forced a smile and left with suppressed resentment.
Silently, I walked to a deserted corner and ate my boxed lunch, trying to process my upset feelings.
"Damn it, who is that guy? How dare he insult my Heng-ge like that!"
"Could this be a true reflection of Yue Heng before he became famous? It doesn't feel like acting..."
"How could that be? He used to be a street singer, when did he become a deliveryman and an extra?"
"Moreover, Wang Yueheng in the picture is clearly middle-aged!"
"The past life story... could it be that he was a food delivery driver and a bit-part actor in his previous life? The age doesn't match up, does it?"...
As everyone watched the stories of ordinary people from the lower class unfold in the middle-aged version of Wang Yueheng in the otherworldly city, they were filled with doubt and speculation.
Suddenly, a piece of background music started playing in the video.
The low, melancholic music accompanied Wang Yueheng, a "middle-aged" man who was busy running around the streets and alleys or film sets.
This added an even more tragic atmosphere to the already heartbreaking scene.
At the same time, a white subtitle slowly appeared in the bright sunshine above the city, appearing before everyone:
"Previous Life Chapter One: Being Born Human"
The moment the song title appeared.
Suddenly, three beams of light came on and shone towards the stage from different angles.
Suddenly, Wang Yueheng, who was riding a food delivery electric scooter, slowly walked out of the story scene.
At this moment, he had completely lost the youthful, handsome, and sunny demeanor he once possessed.
His eyes were like two dry wells, deep and dim, the sharpness and light of the past gone from his gaze.
Instead, I felt a deep sense of exhaustion.
His cheeks were sunken, his skin was loose, and his stubble was unkempt and messy.
Her messy hair was streaked with silver, as if it had been mercilessly dyed white by the years.
The wrist holding the microphone, the edge of the cheap sports jacket sleeve was frayed.
It's like a down-on-his-luck middle-aged worker who was temporarily dragged from the side of the road onto this stage.
Thousands of audience members were in the audience and hundreds of thousands of online viewers and fans watched on screens.
Everyone was stunned by Wang Yueheng's unexpected opening outfit, their jaws dropping and speechless.
"Does this have to be so harsh? Isn't this just ruining your image?"
Even Zhang Gang, who came looking for an opportunity to bring Wang Yueheng down from his pedestal, was taken aback by Wang Yueheng's indescribable appearance.
I don't understand why they suddenly did this...
...
"Cigarettes I once said I wouldn't smoke"
"It's been inhaled into my lungs for years."
"My dreams were once innocent and pure."
"Later, all I could think about was money."
My birthday wish every year when I close my eyes
"How many of them can actually work..."
After a brief, eerie silence.
Next, a melancholic song is sung by Wang Yueheng in his middle-aged form.
The expressions of surprise and dismay that had once again surprised everyone turned into silence, and even a hint of sadness.
The older audience members who had entered the workforce frowned instinctively after hearing the "down-on-his-luck migrant worker" sing on stage.
Online viewers sitting in front of their screens raised their arms to turn up the volume using the mouse, while simultaneously pushing their headphones in even tighter...
