Would you, would you;
Have pity for me;
I am afraid of loneliness;
Won't you, won't you;
Whisper sweetly my name;
For this broken-hearted woman.
......
Wang Jingwen, with tears in her eyes and under the gaze of the audience, unwillingly ended the song that began her journey to the top.
The theatre was dead silent.
The audience was still enchanted by the classic melody just now.
Wang Jingwen deeply bowed to the audience, as if thanking them for letting her sing the entire song without interruption, but there was no longer an arrogant air around her. Coupled with her simple dress and style, at this moment she seemed like an ordinary girl who just felt lonely, someone who wanted to be protected, needed to be encouraged and yearned to be recognized.
Looking at the isolated girl on the stage, Zhang Xiaohua's heart gave birth to pity. It was actually sympathy for this woman who had betrayed them.
However, sympathy was still just sympathy, Zhang Xiaohua would never allow betrayal. He wouldn't accept back a person who betrayed him once before, that was just asking for more suffering.
In Zhang Xiaohua's view, Wang Jingwen's situation today was entirely her doing, she was old enough to make her own choices and bear their consequences. No one else could be blamed.
"The following song is called 'Willing'. I hope that everyone can support me through this song." Wang Jingwen said, obviously more confident after that performance.
Zhang Xiaohua also couldn't help but sigh. The entertainment circle was the entertainment circle. This was like a game of chess. It was necessary to go slowly, step by step, building up to your next move before you could go further. But if you moved too quickly and made a misstep, you could lose everything you had worked for!
This Wang Jingwen was a good example!
When the disorderly music sounded again, the audience who was originally reminiscent of the previous song was suddenly awakened, as if they had cold water poured over them.
"Where is the moon gone tonight;
And all the shining stars in the night;
I wish to find the heavenly palace;
To spend my youthful years.
I want to go home by the wind.;
I am afraid of ;
The high altitudes up here;
But you will still see me;
Dancing in the moonlight tonight.
...
When Wang Jingwen sang up to here, Zhang Xiaohua was once again shocked!
This song was clearly a rewritten version of 'I Am Willing'. They had changed it to almost sound like a poem.
But the song just sounded awkward.
However, the following verse almost caused Zhang Xiaohua to cry, Wang Jingwen actually began to rap the verse, from the beginning to the end, her voice was monotonous, hoarse and noisy. Listening to this just made people feel dizzy and frustrated, even barking was better than this.
Zhang Xiaohua really couldn't understand, which talent was courageous enough combine this traditional Chinese song with Western RnB?
Such a good song, with elegant and rich rhythm, was ruined by the living. Zhang Xiaohua was so saddened that he really wanted to drag the arranger out and beat him up for ten minutes straight!
Zhang Xiaohua couldn't smile, he had goose bumps just from listening. Except for 'Broken-Hearted Woman' tonight, all the songs from Wang Jingwen's mouth were utter trash. The behind-the-scenes arrangement was obviously perfunctory, ruining the songs and making them worthless.
"I heard that it was Gao Xiaosong."
"Gao Xiaosong?" Hearing this name, Zhang Xiaohua felt it sounded very familiar.
At the same time, the audience finally couldn't stand it anymore, covering their ears and fleeing the scene.
Soon, half of the audience had disappeared, making the theatre look empty and abandoned. Although Wang Jingwen was still singing on the stage, the viewers didn't seem to buy it, they were leaving the scene one after another, resulting in the theatre becoming more and more deserted.
In this way, a few songs later, the audience was almost running, and even the so-called VIP's in the front row gave up the lottery and left.
The two hour concert seemed like it would end deserted.
From the beginning to the end there were no cheers or applause from the crowd.
Perhaps from the beginning, this concert was destined to fail!
Wang Jingwen stood alone on the stage, looking at the empty space under the stage, her face gradually came up with a smile of self-deprecation.
Performing in this theatre was her dream. But now that she got what she wanted, she couldn't feel the tiniest bit of happiness.
In contrast, she missed the past days she spent working at HuaXiang.
Although she felt that it was very boring during that period of time, she still had a future to look forward to.
Now, apart from this stage, what else did she have left?
She didn't even know what she would do when she stepped out of the theatre.
In the face of the few viewers left, Wang Jingwen gently bowed, this was the end to this so-called concert.
After the curtains fell, there was no staff to help her change clothes and remove her makeup. No one gave her tea or even the simplest greetings, from the beginning to the end, she was alone.
Zhang Xiaohua stretched his sour neck, stood up and stretched his body. But then, he saw that Yuan Datong and co were all sleeping in a big group. Obviously, this concert had drained them.
At this time, Zhang Xiaohua was suddenly surprised. Looking around, he discovered that Ling Ming had disappeared.
Zhang Xiaohua looked around for her figure, and then saw Ling Ming walking towards the backstage area.
"What is this girl up to?" Looking at Ling Ming's fading back, Zhang Xiaohua was curious, walking to Yuan Datong he kicked his foot, and then followed in Ling Ming's direction.
Yuan Datong woke up and rubbed his eyes. When his line of sight became clear, he saw Zhang Xiaohua walking after Ling Ming, so he hurriedly woke up the others and they collectively ran after Zhang Xiaohua.
Ling Ming glanced around, then took a flower basket from a gift aisle beside her and went to the door of the changing room. She saw the name of Wang Jingwen on the doorplate, and she tapped the door gently.
After a long while, the door opened.
When Ling Ming saw Wang Jingwen she couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Her eyes were bright red and there were tear stains across her face. It was obvious that she was crying just a few moments ago.
Ling Ming was full of smiles. Holding a flower basket in her hands, she said very excitedly: "Hello Miss Wang, you are my idol, I just came to say hi."
This was the second time she had said these words to Wang Jingwen.
The first time was at HuaXiang Entertainment. When she saw her idol, Ling Ming was particularly excited, but she was completely ignored by Wang Jingwen.
"What... are you here to laugh at me?" Wang Jingwen said in a tearful tone. She now felt like such a fool...
"You misunderstand me, you really are my idol." Ling Ming said eagerly: "Did you know? I used to perform on the streets every day. I have been given cold-eyed stares by many people. But whenever I heard your songs, I would forget all the unhappy things around me. So, being able to see you has always been my dream!"
Ling Ming smiled and gave the flower basket to Wang Jingwen, then she extended her hand and said in a pleading tone: "Congratulations, you can have a concert at this national theatre. As a singer, you're actually very successful. I don't know if... can I shake your hand, please?"
At this time, Wang Jingwen's eyes were full of tears.
For a singer, the most happy occasion was being recognized by fans.
However, when Wang Jingwen thought that she would lose this happiness, there was an unexpected gain. Although only one fan gave her a encouragement, it was enough!
Wiping the tears in the corners of her eyes, Wang Jingwen showed a smile, slowly reaching out... and held Ling Ming's hands.
At the corner of the corridor, Zhang Xiaohua saw this scene and he was very pleased.
He was gratified by Ling Ming's kindness, he was also extremely saddened for the fall of a superstar!
