Chapter 121 Debut Showcase - Redemption
The accompaniment sounded at the right time, it was the song "Light and Shadow" that Minran first met with everyone. The boy was dressed in white, he stood quietly in the center of the stage, a beam of light shone on him, as if he was the only one left in the world...
The audience was immersed in his singing, and the background was dreamy, making people feel as if they were in a beautiful dream. The bright lights and shadows seemed to reflect life... It was really appropriate to start with this song...
After the song ended, the background suddenly changed, and another cover song "The Answer Hidden in the Summer" came as expected. The background began to play the MV which had been played over 60 million times and caused great popularity. The screams of the fans in the audience became more and more enthusiastic as the boy performed the adapted dance to this song.
Mu Qingnian sat in the audience, her eyes never leaving him on the stage. Her eyes moved because of him, her heart beat because of him...
After the two songs were performed, as expected, there was constant applause and cheers from the audience. The host was Lan Yue, a senior artist from the same company. As she came on stage, the debut chowcase officially kicked off.
"Welcome everyone to the debut showcase of Minran. I am today's host Lan Yue. Did you guys think the performance just now was good?"
"It looks great!" Seven people quietly mixed in and shouted loudly, especially Qin Kexin and Zhou Ruoxing, whose voices were so loud that they attracted the attention of people around them.
Lan Yue on the stage asked again, "Is he handsome?"
"So handsome!" The voices of fans at the scene became louder and louder, and the whole place was extremely lively.
Lan Yue turned around and said to Gu Min with a smile, "Hello, Minran. I'm very happy to host your showcase. How do you feel now?"
Gu Min smiled, "Thank you, senior. It's an honor to have you here to host. I'm still very nervous because it's the first time I officially meet you all. I'm also very happy to meet so many fans and friends. Thank you for your love."
Lan Yue smiled and said, "Indeed, our newcomers have a great influence. I heard that the showcase tickets were sold out in less than an hour. Did you expect such a result?"
Gu Min looked around the audience and smiled gently, "To be honest, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect that I would meet you all so soon. I am really grateful that you all chose to like me. I will also work hard to complete each work and try not to let you all down."
"Well, Minran, let's sit down and talk about your debut album, okay?"
"Okay, senior."
The staff brought up two chairs, and Gu Min naturally helped to lift the chair, and waited for Lan Yue to sit down before he sat down. Lan Yue noticed this small detail and nodded secretly. Although she had only seen this child for the first time during the rehearsal yesterday, it was rare for him to debut at such a young age and still be able to handle things with ease and with a high EQ.
Although this was just a job for her, the smile on her face became much more sincere as she was working for such a polite junior.
"Mingran, please introduce your new album to everyone first."
"Okay, for this debut album, I would like to thank producer Dong Likun and his team. They worked very hard to create several songs of different styles for me. The title song "The Wind Rises and Thoughts Are Like Sugar" is a relatively light R&B song. It uses a more rhythmic rhythm to tell the feelings of a boy's first love in his youth. It must be a song that can remind everyone of the feeling of being moved at a certain time. I hope everyone likes it."
Lan Yue then asked, "Indeed, as a senior in the company, when I heard that you sang "Answer Hidden in the Summer", I was a little worried because it was a song sung by a very famous senior in our company, but I didn't expect that you could do it so well, especially in the MV shooting, people can't help but feel the secret love. So, I heard that this MV is adapted from your real life, is it true? Can you tell us in detail what the story is?"
When the main topic came, the fans in the audience immediately focused their attention. You know, since the MV was released, this matter has been on the top of the hot search list many times, and everyone has a great interest in this adaptation of a real event.
Lan Yue on the stage seemed calm and composed, but in fact, her palms were sweating. You know, when she got the script yesterday and saw that she was going to ask this question, she repeatedly confirmed with the staff to see if there were any mistakes. After all, which artist would allow an artist to talk about his or her love story at such an important occasion as a debut showcase...
Is she getting old? Are companies so tolerant now?
In the end, it was her own agent who woke her up. She said, "Sister Lan, Minran has chosen to make everything clear now. Isn't this also clearing all obstacles for the future? There are many people in the entertainment industry who have announced their relationships, but Minran was just a little early."
Lan Yue: ...Okay, young man, you have courage and determination...
When she came back to her senses, she looked at Gu Min with a hint of gossip in her eyes. Gu Min smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it's my real experience. Just like what was said in the MV, when I was young, I went through some bad things. I was abducted by human traffickers for seven years, and those seven years were seven years of darkness."
In fact, Gu Min and Qian Duojin hesitated before, wondering whether or not to tell his experiences back then and make this story public... Mainly Gu Min, always felt that this was a story between him and her, and he didn't want to tell it at first. But after repeated consideration, Qian Duojin discussed it with Mu Qingnian and felt that it was not something that could not be said. Besides, the power of fans should not be underestimated, and Gu Min had never deliberately concealed this matter since he was a child, so it was only a matter of time before it was found out, so it would be better to make it clear all at once.
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, there was an uproar at the scene. No one had expected that the boy lying in despair in the MV was really so miserable and heartbreaking back then.
The boy continued to speak calmly, as if he was saying goodbye to the sad and desperate self in the past. "Back then, I was beaten all over and thrown into the mud to die. It was a girl who used her still thin body and gritted her teeth to pull me up and put me in a drier place. Then when the bad guys chased us, she dragged me and hid in the bridge hole. That night, the two of us kept running in the dark just to avoid the bad guys. The moment I found the police, I fainted from exhaustion..."
The background music at the scene turned into soothing but sad music, and the fans in the audience, following the boy's narration, began to immerse themselves in that moving past...
This was also the first time that the people in Gu Min and Mu Qingnian's dormitory heard this story. Although they all knew that when they were young, it was Mu Qingnian who brought Gu Min home and the two became a close family, they did not know the story behind it...
A few people secretly glanced in the direction of the girl, and saw that her eyes were slightly red, and she seemed to be lost in her memories. For a moment, they did not dare to disturb her...
"Then, I thought, I must repay such a good girl in the future. I could find a job nearby to survive, and then watch over her silently and protect this lifesaver. But I didn't expect that on the day she woke up in the ward, she asked me directly if I wanted to go home with her..."
"She said that she could accompany me to find my parents, and before that, she and her parents were willing to give me a complete family... And really, in these eight years, she and my uncle and aunt gave me a harbor that I could rely on at all times, and I, unknowingly, slowly developed feelings for them in the name of family."
Hearing this, many audience members began to secretly wipe away their tears. The story was told in the calmest tone, but it had the most touching power...
Some people were quick enough to record this and upload it to social media platforms. It immediately became a hot topic. There were many voices of disapproval before, but after hearing this story, they all turned to blessings...
After all, redemption is the best outcome that everyone wants to see...
