Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 857 Invisible

The dusk was like ink, gradually infiltrating the city's skyline. The big stage in the city center was gleaming under the neon lights, and a highly anticipated performance was about to take place. In the backstage, the incandescent lamps were humming, illuminating the small space as bright as day, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of cheap hairspray and cosmetics. Lin Xiao stood behind the simple stage curtain, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move. The rough curtain swayed slightly behind him, revealing some light and shadow from the stage. The noisy voices from the audience surged like a tide, mixed with the sound of tables and chairs moving, the laughter of the audience, and the occasional sharp whistles, all of which made his heart beat wildly in his chest, and he was as nervous as a deer. He looked down at his performance clothes, which were a silver-gray sequined suit, flashing tiny lights under the lights, but at this moment, this gorgeous outfit made him feel uncomfortable all over. As a modern man, although he had recorded songs in a recording studio, he had never really performed on such a large stage in front of an audience. His palms were sweating, and the cold sweat soaked the lining of his suit, and his back was already soaked with sweat. Amin seemed to see his nervousness, walked quickly to his side, patted his shoulder, and his eyes were full of encouragement: "Ah Xiao, don't be nervous, you usually rehearse so well, there must be no problem." Her voice was crisp and firm, trying to dispel Lin Xiao's uneasiness. As she spoke, she took out a powder from her makeup bag, gently touched up Lin Xiao's makeup, and tidied up his somewhat messy collar. Lin Xiao took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart, but his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and even swallowing saliva became difficult. He kept cheering himself up in his heart: "Lin Xiao, you can do it, isn't it just singing a song? You have sung so many songs in modern times, you can definitely do it!" However, the fear in his heart grew wildly like weeds and could not be shaken off. At this moment, the host on the stage announced in an excited voice: "Next, let's welcome Lin Xiao with warm applause to bring us a wonderful performance!" The harsh announcement sounded through the speakers, like a heavy hammer hitting Lin Xiao's heart. The spotlight in front of the stage suddenly lit up, passing through the gap in the curtain and casting a bright light strip on the ground. Lin Xiao's legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He slowly moved his feet and walked towards the light. The strong light hit him, and in an instant, the originally noisy audience in the audience quieted down. Thousands of eyes were like invisible hands, nailing him firmly in place. His eyes subconsciously narrowed to adapt to the dazzling light. The dark crowd under the stage blurred into one, but he could still feel the expectation and scrutiny that came like a tide. After calming down, Lin Xiao looked into the distance, as if through this vast sea of ​​people, he saw his modern self concentrating on singing in the recording studio. The accompaniment music slowly sounded, and the familiar melody flowed in his ears, giving him a little courage. He opened his mouth and began to sing the song "Kiss Goodbye" that he was familiar with in modern times: "The past has become a cloud of smoke, dissipating in front of each other's eyes..." His voice was slightly trembling, but clear and affectionate, echoing in the night sky. The audience in the audience was a little confused at first, and the sound of whispering came one after another. After all, they had never heard this song before, and the unfamiliar melody made them curious. But soon, Lin Xiao's dedicated singing and the beautiful melody were like an invisible force, grabbing everyone's heart. As the song progressed, Lin Xiao gradually immersed himself in it, and the tension slowly dissipated. His voice became more firm and his emotions became stronger. When he sang to the climax, "I kiss you goodbye, on the empty street, let the wind laugh foolishly, I can't refuse..." He closed his eyes and turned his longing for the modern world and his confusion about the future into emotions in the song. The audience was moved by the affectionate singing. Many people began to sway gently to the rhythm. Some closed their eyes and immersed themselves in the beautiful melody. Some nodded gently and hummed along. Some couples leaned on each other with their eyes full of emotion. Several young girls in the front row even stood up excitedly and waved their light sticks. After the song, Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the audience. There was a brief silence in the audience at first, and the air seemed to have solidified. This moment of silence made Lin Xiao's heart rise to his throat. He clenched his fists nervously, and his palms were soaked with sweat again. However, the next second, thunderous applause and cheers came like a tide, deafening. The audience stood up and clapped hard. Cheers and applause came one after another, and some people shouted Lin Xiao's name. Lin Xiao looked at the excited audience in the audience, and an indescribable sense of accomplishment surged in his heart. At this moment, all the tension and fear disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented satisfaction and pride. He knew that his first step was a success. After the performance, the backstage instantly became lively. The staff were busy packing up the equipment, and the actors congratulated each other with constant laughter. Amin ran over excitedly, with a bright smile on her face and sparkling eyes, as if there were stars twinkling: "Axiao, you are great! Just now, many people from record companies came to me and wanted to sign a contract with you." As she spoke, she waved the business card in her hand, which was printed with the names and contact information of major record companies. Lin Xiao was delighted, but his years of experience in the modern entertainment industry made him calm down quickly. He knew that he couldn't rush it. This was a key step for him to gain a foothold in this era, and he must choose carefully. He took the business card, looked at it carefully, and said, "Amin, please help me screen and find a reliable company. We should not only look at the size of the company, but also their development plan and the way they train artists." Amin nodded, her eyes full of admiration: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on it. This performance was so successful, you will definitely be very popular in the future!" Her words made Lin Xiao's heart surge with warmth. In this strange era, it is his luck to have such an agent who trusts and supports him. However, Lin Xiao also knows that this is just the beginning. In this fiercely competitive entertainment industry, one success does not mean eternal success. In the future, he will face countless challenges and difficulties, but at this moment, standing in this backstage full of cheers, his heart is full of confidence and courage, ready to meet new opportunities and challenges.
