"Hey, don't you guys think the two people sitting in the first row of the VIP section look a bit familiar?"
"Where?"
A fan started looking around.
"What normal person would wear sunglasses and a hat at night?"
"Quick, look at those legs...Could that be Tangning?" someone guessed. But, because of their distance, they weren't 100% certain. "The person next to her looks like president Mo...they must have come here together."
"Forget it, what kind of event do you think you're at? Out of the two of them, one is the Big Boss of the entertainment industry and the other is a famous model. It wouldn't make sense for either of them to come to a small music award ceremony like this."
"I guess I must be seeing things then."
...
A little while later, the awards ceremony officially started. The host was a witty speaker and quickly stirred the audience into fits of laughter. As for the awards like the Top Ten songs and best male and female singer, these were the upcoming highlights for the night.
Singers, actors and models were no different: they all needed exposure at different events so the audience could remember them and grow to like them. For singers, this started from guest appearances and small performances at events. Just like the fans had hinted earlier, the awards ceremony today was not very big nor significant, so there was no way someone like Mo Ting would take note of it.
But, this stage helped boost the dreams of many newcomers...
"K&G, time to prepare for going on stage," their manager said as he pushed open the waiting room door.
"OK," the three boys had on thick makeup and studded jackets. As they were to sing and dance on stage, they looked extra stylish.
In comparison, Tang Jingxuan was dressed a lot simpler because he was to sing a slow song.
The three boys glanced at Tang Jingxuan and left the room. Tang Jingxuan did not suspect anything, he was simply a little nervous about going on stage.
"Luo Xing, you will be heading on stage soon. Hurry over to the backstage," his manager patted him urgently on the shoulder as he held onto his phone, "Do your best, don't be nervous. Act like you normally do and you'll be fine."
Tang Jingxuan nodded his head as Tangning's confidence on the runway suddenly came to mind...
A moment later, he was waiting in the backstage...
...
"This year we have been blessed with some great new talent. First we had the popular boy band K&G and then we were introduced to the unique voice of Luo Xing. Next up, let's hand the stage over to Luo Xing: a youngster with a passion for the stage..."
As soon as the host's words left his mouth, the lights on the stage dimmed. All that could be seen were the twinkling of light sticks in the audience which resembled a sea of stars. Although there were only a few people within this audience who were here to cheer for him, the light sticks looked like they were all twinkling for him.
A soothing melody started playing as Luo Xing appeared in the middle of the stage and the spotlight focused on him. He suddenly felt a little nervous...
Tangning and Mo Ting also felt a little nervous because of his frozen expression.
Could the brother that constantly begged to enter the entertainment industry...be suddenly struck with stage fright?
"Ting...What should we do?"
"Do you know this song?" Mo Ting asked.
"Is it called 'Far in the future'? Yes, I know it," Tangning nodded. This was an inspirational classic. Back when she was in France, she often sang this song to encourage herself.
"Then, you should go on stage and help him!" Mo Ting suggested firmly.
"Huh?"
