"Are you well-prepared? Nervous?" Lin Wenyi asked with concern.
Qin Qiaoer gave a polite smile. "I shouldn't let you down."
"What are you talking about? You'll never let me down. I believe in your capabilities, which is why I recommended you for this show."
"I'm just joking. I'll make some final preparations. You go and attend to your own business!" Qin Qiaoer found an excuse to be alone.
Once she immersed herself in the movie, Qin Qiaoer's aura changed instantly. Her eyes gradually turned sad and melancholic, completely different from her usual self.
Unlike other variety shows, the guests didn't need to appear at the beginning. This was to give them time to build a rapport.
At the start, there was only a host on stage, while all the guests waited in the second venue.
Qin Qiaoer was the first to perform in the first round and the very first guest to take the stage in the entire show. Initially, the program crew wasn't quite satisfied with Lin Wenyi's arrangement. But after the rehearsal, when they heard Qin Qiaoer's voice, they were all deeply impressed.
"Now, let's welcome our first guest, who will present the work *Flipped*."
Qin Qiaoer's voice slowly flowed out from the speakers. She had pieced together several segments from the movie, depicting the whole process of the male and female leads from meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love, to finally separating.
The moment she opened her mouth, there were gasps of amazement from the audience. However, Qin Qiaoer couldn't hear any of it. She was now fully absorbed in her own world.
Since the movie was in English, Qin Qiaoer also dubbed it in English. Her pure British accent quickly won the hearts of the audience.
Qin Qiaoer portrayed the innocent girl at the beginning and the melancholy woman at the end of the separation vividly. The audience followed her emotional ups and downs and entered the world of the movie.
"I realized Garrett was right about one thing: I'd flipped. Completely."
Qin Qiaoer uttered this line with a slight breathy voice. Her lazy yet sad words plunged everyone present into an inexplicable sadness.
After saying this, Qin Qiaoer also sank into her own memories.
She began to recall every bit of her time with Zhao Youting. Strangely enough, although she found the movie heart - wrenching, she wasn't as deeply involved in the role as she had thought.
Maybe it was because when she first watched this movie, she was still alone. At that time, she always sighed that she might never fall in love again. But after meeting Zhao Youting, she gradually felt the taste of happiness.
Especially in the past few days while preparing for the movie, Zhao Youting always silently accompanied her. In fact, while watching the movie, she could feel Zhao Youting's gaze always on her.
At that time, she was deeply immersed in the movie. Now, when she recalled those moments, she couldn't help blushing.
Now Qin Qiaoer's memories of this movie were no longer as one - dimensional as before. They had become very vivid because Zhao Youting's figure was intertwined in them.
Qin Qiaoer sighed, thinking that she might be losing her rationality.
At the beginning, she might have been just that innocent. But after years of tempering, she was no longer so pure.
She started to think a lot. She would only decide whether to take a step forward after paving the way for herself. But she forgot that if she didn't start, she would never see the beautiful future.
If she always hesitated, she might miss out on more beauty. She didn't want her life to be filled with regrets like the movie.
The two protagonists in the movie didn't end up together due to various reasons. While watching the movie, she also thought that it would be great if every two people in love in the world could be together forever.
But when it came to herself, Qin Qiaoer didn't realize that she had made the same mistake as the protagonists in the movie.
Suddenly, a burst of cheers interrupted her train of thought. After hearing Qin Qiaoer finish her dubbing, the audience had been silent for a while. Then they gradually came to their senses.
They started to clap and cheer wildly. Some even stood up to show their respect for Qin Qiaoer.
Qin Qiaoer saw the excited audience in the studio from the second venue next to her. She felt that all her efforts were worth it. The feeling of having her hard work recognized was truly blissful.
At this time, the host stepped onto the stage to calm the situation down. "I didn't expect our first guest to come out so strong!"
Next came the time to guess the identity of the guest. The audience wracked their brains, constantly speculating about who was behind the curtain.
They all thought it was an actress who had been in the industry for many years because it was difficult for an ordinary young actress to have such profound skills.
Qin Qiaoer couldn't help laughing in the backstage as she heard them mention one well - known name after another. She didn't expect her voice to trigger such a heated discussion.
Finally, the host announced regretfully that they had all guessed wrong. So Qin Qiaoer could only appear in the second round.
The next three guests performed their shows one after another, and then it was the second - round competition.
By the second round, the psychological pressure on the guests was not as great, and they began to perform some more relaxing shows.
Qin Qiaoer chose an animated movie in the second round. Since she accompanied two kids to watch cartoons every day, she could better grasp the essence of the animated movie.
As soon as her voice came out, everyone was shocked again. They were all wondering if the guest in this round had changed. Why was she so different from the one in the first round?
In the first round, Qin Qiaoer had a very melancholy female voice, but in the second round, she became a cute and mischievous girl.
After the second - round competition ended, it was time to reveal who was behind the curtain. When Qin Qiaoer's face appeared, there was a burst of cheers.
The host also joked, "Welcome, Miss Qin Qiaoer! Seeing it's Qin Qiaoer, I kind of understand why she chose an animated movie for the second show. Did the two little darlings come with you today?"
