639 Encouraging
Just as Song Ci was actively running the roadshow, she heard Yang Haoran mention that she was trending again. This time, it was because Fu Ginqin had won an award and publicly expressed her gratitude to Song Ci.
Song Ci took out her phone and clicked on the news. It was the end of the year music awards, and Fu Qinqin had won Best New Artist for her album ‘The Brightest Star in the Crowd’. At the award ceremony, she mentioned Song Ci in her acceptance speech.
In the video, Fu Qinqin was dressed brightly. She was wearing a wine-red dress with slightly long curly hair and a sparkling diamond hair clip by her ear. She was like a blooming rose. At the same time, she was the brightest star in the crowd. She thanked her fans, the organizers, the judges, and even her producer. Lastly, she thanked Song Ci, who she praised the most about.
“This time last year, I wasn’t a singer. I was an unknown actor– No, an extra. My acting skills were terrible. Even I would have a headache for the director who had to guide me. I apologized to them profusely and practiced non-stop in private. Still, I could not act well. I thought I had worked hard enough, so why couldn’t I? Why was I continually dragging others down?
“I began to doubt and despise myself. Of course, I didn’t think I was an actor either. I felt that I might not be suitable for the path of an actor, so I discussed it with my manager at that time and hoped I could sing. I thought I might perhaps have some talent for singing. However, no matter how much I begged him, he said no. He said that acting was my only path. I could only continue being rejected and apologize to the actors and directors who were dragged down by me.
“At that time, I was in a dark place, unable to breathe. Then, I met Song Ci. She was the one who believed in me and firmly told me to follow my dream of singing. She asked me to sing with confidence and walk the path suitable for me. In this sense, she helped me immensely. She’s the reason why I even have the opportunity to stand here. I’m very grateful to Song Ci. In the future, I’ll continue to work hard to create songs of even higher quality. I hope everyone can believe in themselves and move forward bravely.”
Fu Qinqin’s acceptance speech was very emotional and resonating. Many people who watched the video could not help but put themselves in her shoes and have mixed feelings.
[I can’t help but cry as I listen as I, too, constantly doubt myself when I’m working. I wonder why I’m so useless. I really hope I can meet someone who can tell me to be more confident.]
[I really understand Fu Qinqin’s suffocation. In the past, I was also in pain but never met someone who gave me affirmation.]
[I’m also very grateful to Song Ci. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have been able to hear Fu Qinqin’s singing, and Fu Qinqin would probably still be doubting herself.]
[Song Ci really is a very gentle person. Previously, Lin Ting said Song Ci was someone who never despised her teammates and had always been patient in leading them. Now that Fu Qinqin also said Song Ci had changed her, how could Song Ci not be what she said? As expected, in this world, girls understood other girls best.]
[As a fan of Fu Qinqin, I won’t say anything else. I’ll book the entire venue to watch ‘Seeking Danger’. Thank you for your help to Miss Fu Qinqin…]
Song Ci looked at her and felt that Fu Qinqin was a little too formal. She didn’t expect that Fu Qinqin would thank her on such a formal and public occasion. After all, not much time was allocated for her to give her acceptance speech. In the end, Fu Qinqin spent almost all her time on her. Fu Qinqin was able to get to where she was today because of her own outstanding ability. Otherwise, she would not have been able to break out of the crowd and gain popularity and a large number of fans just because of an interlude. What she did was only give Fu Qinqin a chance.
Song Ci quickly logged into her account and reposted Fu Qinqin’s award-winning video with the caption: [You’ve always been outstanding. The person you should be most grateful for is yourself.]
Many fans saw Song Ci’s reply and also commented.
[Sister Song Ci, are you an Angel? Why else would you be so gentle?]
[I always thought everyone in the entertainment industry was fake, but you’re the only one who makes me feel sincere.]
[Sister Song Ci, can you give me some words of encouragement? I want to learn how to draw, but my parents said I won’t achieve anything great with my drawings in this life. After all, not everyone can draw…]
