Lin Shixing stayed with his brother in an unfamiliar city for half a month.
He was clearly in a place he was unfamiliar with, surrounded by strangers, but it was the happiest time for Lin Shixing since he could remember.
They go to play everywhere in the morning, eat all kinds of snacks and delicacies in the afternoon, and when the lights on the street are lit at dusk, they set up a stall to sell art.
At first, Lin Shixing would feel embarrassed and ashamed.
After all, in a large crowd, standing in front of pedestrians coming and going to sing, no matter how you look at it, no matter how strange it is.
Or Lin Shiheng bought a microphone directly. When Lin Shixing, who was blushing and didn't dare to step forward, couldn't take the first step, he grabbed the microphone and walked to the front, giggling:
"Dear folks, elders, handsome guys and beauties, today our brothers and sisters are holding a temporary concert here. Everyone who has money will support a money field, and those who have no money will support a personal performance."
After saying the opening remarks in a simple and neat manner, he ran over and pulled out Lin Shixing, who was hiding, and put the microphone directly into his sister's hands, raising his eyebrows at her with ease.
Lin Shixing held the microphone stiffly.
What is this for
Did he think it was ancient
Isn't this kind of line only in TV dramas
"Come on quickly!"
When the young man saw that his sister remained motionless, he urged with a smile, "We'll have a big meal after making money."
"no!"
Lin Shixing looked around at the crowd of onlookers who were looking towards this side, his face instantly flushed red, and he stammered while holding the microphone: "Are there too many people... They are all looking at me..."
"When you went to participate in the competition, there were more people. Now if you are cowardly, what if you can't sing on stage?"
Lin Shiheng eloquently said: "I tell you, the starting point is the most important, because at this height that you haven't climbed yet, even if you make a mistake and fall, you won't have much loss. Do you have to hold a concert when it is booming? Practice more now, anyway, we are not forced to collect money. If you don't sing well, just leave, no one will accuse you. If you sing well and get money, we can eat a lot today. One meal, a great profit!"
I have to say that Lin Shiheng is really talented in deceiving people.
Lin Shixing was persuaded.
She kept cheering herself up in her heart, holding the microphone tightly in her hand, and boarded this temporary stage, where she just drew a circle on the ground with a pencil and regarded it as her own site.
The first song is her best.
At the beginning of the first sentence, her tone was a little vibrato because she was nervous. After she found a familiar feeling, the vibrato gradually disappeared.
The onlookers did not have much in-depth analysis of the singing.
They can only feedback two words: nice!
As for the voice, timbre, and emotional manipulation, most people don't have this awareness at all.
What surprised the two brothers and sisters was that most of the people who contributed to the fund in today's "temporary concert" were elderly people.
In their impression, the elderly have always been thrifty, and they can spend money without spending money. There are not some young people who don’t care about money generosity, but they also ignore that there are very few things like performing arts now. See you.
Only in places like temple fairs and markets can you see entertainers who have not been seen for a long time, and those who sing on the streets are more of those who are truly disabled or pretend to be disabled, half begging and half performing arts.
Lin Shixing's voice was worth more than she thought, and an hour later, they had a sum of money that they could eat.
At first, when Lin Shixing saw the money, he subconsciously wanted to save it.
Lin Shiheng, who has always admired instant entertainment, took her directly to a restaurant.
"The flower has to be spent. If a person earns money and is reluctant to spend it, he eats poor food for the rest of his life, wears rough clothes, does not buy expensive or non-essential items, and wishes to break a dollar in half and spend it, is this still alive? ?"
Compared with his younger sister, the handsome and more perfect-looking young man nibbled at the drumstick very inelegantly: "Hurry up and eat, you won't be tired after singing for an hour, there is still some money left after eating, let's have a massage, wait until After the massage, take a good night's sleep."
Lin Shixing hesitantly stretched out his chopsticks and took a chicken leg.
Fragrant and delicious.
In the following period, the two brothers and sisters played during the day and entertained at night. Lin Shiheng was active. Lin Shixing sang. In order to protect his voice, he sang for an hour a day. , her singing skills are indeed getting better and better.
Relying on this skill, the two of them are obviously half-aged children, and they are in an unfamiliar city, but they have more fun than anyone else.
On the day of the first test, Lin Shiheng accompanied Lin Shixing in.
"I always feel that I have to have a big star sister."
Lin Shixing exhaled nervously: "Do you think I can do it?"
"Of course you can. You sing so well, it's rare to see a song that can make people pay."
Yes, she can.
Certainly possible.
Lin Shixing cheered himself up and walked in with a determined look.
She can.
Lin Shixing passed the preliminary round very smoothly, followed by the semi-finals. There were many contestants in the semi-finals, and Lin Shixing also passed smoothly.
When she got the final list and saw her name on it, she felt a feeling that she didn't even know.
Many years later, in an interview, Lin Shixing defined the original feeling correctly.
"It may be a mix of surprise and confusion, because at that time, it was the first time that I did not follow the path given by my parents, so when I really walked out of a path, my first reaction was that I didn't know what to do next. How to do it, and I was too young at that time, I didn't understand anything, I could only sing, and it was my brother who was always taking care of me, although he refused to admit that he was taking care of me."
Lin Shiheng really took good care of Lin Shixing.
Before that, Lin Shixing's impression of his brother was mostly negative.
Lazy, ruffian, messy, belongs to the kind of lazy type who can sit and never stand, lie down and never sit.
If she had to talk about her shortcomings, it would probably be shameless and shameless.
She never expected that Lin Shiheng would be so popular when he was willing to show his unique charm.
Almost no one in the backstage dislikes this sweet-mouthed young man. When his eyes are smiling and he talks to people with a slightly sullen smile, whether it is a man or a woman, old or young, he is willing to be there. He showed the best kindness he could give in front of him.
He is like a firefly in the dark night, as if it will glow in the crowd. When he wants to get a person's favor, he doesn't have to think at all. The sweet words that can scratch the other person's itch just right are a series of sweet words from the image It came out of the mouth smeared with honey.
A staff member said to Lin Shixing:
When Lin Shiheng looked at a person seriously with those light brown eyes, it was as if people could see the whole world from inside.
He must be the purest and kindest person in the world.
What this staff member said was so sure.
Lin Shixing: "…"
She still didn't speak.
Her brother, who can talk well with almost everyone, has given her the greatest convenience she can get. Before taking the stage, there was a makeup artist who had worked in the entertainment industry for more than ten years and knew many unspoken rules. She put on makeup and tried her best to tell her some rules of the entertainment industry.
"I've seen you sing before, this time you won't get anywhere in the worst ranking, plus you look good, when the game is over, there should be a lot of entertainment companies or scouts coming to you, don't listen to them then If you want to sign a contract, look for a big company that is famous and has relatively hot stars, although it may make money The money has to be distributed, but it’s better than being swindled by the leather bag company.”
Lin Shixing couldn't move his head because he had to put on makeup, so he could only keep his original posture and open his mouth to thank: "Thank you, Sister Miaomiao, I understand."
"you are welcome."
The makeup artist put on her makeup and put away the tools with a smile: "Sister wishes you great success."
Lin Shiheng, who was watching her sister's makeup, said, "If Shixing is really popular, we will definitely invite Sister Miaomiao to be your exclusive makeup artist."
"Stinky boy, he will say something to fool people. You have said this to several people."
The makeup artist laughed and scolded with a smile on his face. After saying hello, he carried his toolbox and went to another contestant to do makeup.
Lin Shixing sat nervously in the background, waiting to take the stage.
Her number was higher, and as the time was approaching, the seventeen-year-old girl's nervous palms were sweating.
"nervous?"
Lin Shiheng handed a bottle of water: "Drink some water to moisten your throat, don't drink too much."
Lin Shixing obediently took a sip of water.
"Sing well, after singing, I'll give you a surprise."
Hearing this sentence, Lin Shixing looked up at his brother in doubt: "Surprise?"
"Yes, as a reward for your giving me pocket money."
Lin Shiheng shrugged and patted his sister's head.
"come on."
It's just a very ordinary word, but Lin Shixing seems to really feel that his heart is gradually calmed down when he hears it.
She looked at her brother without blinking, "If I didn't get the bonus, would you still take care of me like this?"
"Have I taken care of you?"
Lin Shiheng grinned, raised his eyebrows when he saw Lin Shixing staring at him unwilling to give up.
"Well, I will, if you want."
"Who made me your brother?"
The staff came over: "Lin Shixing, it's your turn soon, hurry up and get ready."
Lin Shixing stood up and was at a loss for a moment.
"Go."
Her brother patted her on the head.
"Think of surprises."
Lin Shixing was waiting near the front desk. She saw the contestant in front came down. It was a girl who looked a little older than her. She looked like she was in her early twenties. She bowed to the audience and went to her side. come.
Her forehead was sweating and she was panting slightly, but after walking to the backstage, she looked at Lin Shixing with a relaxed smile.
"Mom and Dad!"
A middle-aged couple stepped forward from behind Lin Shixing, approached their daughter, and handed her the flower in their hands.
The girl took the flowers with a happy smile, looking at her parents full of admiration:
"How do I sing?"
"Nice!"
"It sings very well!"
"Of course, I've been practicing for a long time, and you still prepared flowers, and you didn't tell me, did you surprise me..."
The family of three happily went to the backstage.
Lin Shixing stared blankly at this scene, his nose was sour, his heart seemed to have been hit by something, and he felt stuffy and painful.
"Shixing, it's your turn!"
"Huh? Oh, well, thanks."
She hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and stepped onto the stage with a normal expression.
There were a lot of people below, but because the lights were not turned on, only darkness could be seen.
She put the microphone to her mouth and thought about this half month.
She and her brother went to the amusement park. They sat on the merry-go-round and were surrounded by children. A little boy asked why the elder brother and sister still played this when they were so old.
Lin Shiheng replied with a smile, because he never played it when he was a child.
They went to take pictures, to museums, to aquariums, and to many places that Lin Shixing hadn't been to when he was a child.
It's like making up for an entire childhood.
Even if she came back without success this time, in her heart, she already had an experience that made her happier and more satisfying than the competition.
So, don't be afraid!
Lin Shixing opened his mouth and sang the song he had practiced many times.
The challenge of this song is very difficult. When she sang to a high pitch and did not stop for a long time, the dark audience below all applauded and cheered.
"good!!!"
The audience's encouragement made Lin Shixing's heart beat fast. She has never been affirmed by so many people, but the faster her heart beats, the more stable her voice becomes.
Lin Shixing didn't slack off until the last sentence was sung and the curtain ended perfectly.
The judges' ratings were high, she bowed gratefully, and stepped down.
"Lin Shixing!!"
In the backstage passage, which is darker than the front, there is a young man standing there.
Seeing her coming, he smiled.
"Look who's here."
He stepped aside, and behind him, Father Lin came out.
Father Lin wore an old-fashioned suit, which he bought several years ago, and only wears it when the factory talks about business. Mother Lin also wears a beautiful dress that is different from usual, with a silk scarf tied around her neck.
Their expressions are a little cramped, and there is a trace of embarrassment.
No one can understand how complicated their emotions are when they are backstage and see the dazzling brilliance of singing while standing on a radiant stage.
Lin Shiheng took out a bunch of flowers from behind and stuffed it into his father's hands.
"Dad, what are you doing, you have to offer flowers after singing."
Father Lin held the flower uncomfortably, touched the tight clothes, walked to his daughter, and gave the flower to her hand, "Shi Xing, you sing very well."
"Your brother is right. We take it for granted. If you like to sing, as long as you can support yourself, just do it."
Lin Shixing took the flower with trembling hands.
"Thank you dad."
Her brother came over from the other side, still smiling as arrogantly as he had done many times before: "How is it, surprise?"
Lin Shixing's eyes were red, holding the flower and nodding wildly.
"Cry in surprise."
With tears in her eyes, she smiled lightly at her brother.
"The flowers are beautiful."
She received the most wanted gift.
Parents' affirmation.
