This area is close to the city center, so there were a lot of fans. The long red carpet was lined with people on both sides. Even the gradually darkening sky did not dampen their enthusiasm. They waved light boards and light sticks and looked expectantly at the group of people walking on the red carpet.

As an actor, Xiao He didn't plan on any fancy fashion looks or makeup, sticking to his classic black suit. However, Guo Xinya and Yuan Sitong, who were beside him, each had their own unique style. Their extravagant yet beautiful evening gowns instantly attracted a lot of attention, eliciting loud cheers from fans as they moved around.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao He also saw several familiar-looking young fans waving excitedly at him from the crowd behind him.

These fans belong to the group who failed to get tickets and couldn't go inside to watch the performance. In the end, they could only come here to take a look and watch their idols enter the venue up close.

But no matter what, the fans inside and outside the venue all come here with the same passion, rain or shine.

Xiao He smiled, then raised his hand and waved in that direction, unsurprisingly eliciting cheers and screams from the fans.

Soon, the group walked across the red carpet and returned to the dressing room inside the venue to begin preparing their stage makeup and costumes.

In the blink of an eye, it got completely dark.

The stage lights suddenly turned on, and various spotlights shone on the stage and the sky, illuminating the gray sky again. Fans who had entered early raised their light sticks and looked expectantly at the center of the stage, eagerly awaiting the appearance of their idols.

While Xiao He was getting his makeup done, he opened his phone and went into the official live stream on Tencent Video to watch the live broadcast. Basically, the evening's performance had already officially started by the time he finished his new makeup and styling.

Xiao He and the others, led by staff, arrived at their respective backstage waiting areas to wait.

At this moment, Xiao He was a little nervous, but after Liu Rulan walked to his side and introduced the guests in the audience one by one, he suddenly stopped being nervous.

"This is General Manager Song from Jiaxing Entertainment. As you know, we've already talked several times."

"Yes, I know."

"And this is...?"

"This is Mr. Tao, the general manager of Xingchen Entertainment. He's been riding high lately, turning Xingchen Entertainment's decline around with the marketing of the 'True Prince'. Now he's officially brought Xingchen Entertainment under his control. He even invited you to go racing a car a while ago, but you declined."

"Uh-huh."

"This is the manager of Taidong Entertainment; their family situation is rather complicated..."

"This is Producer Chen, a well-known investor in the industry..."

"Finally, there's Mr. Mi. He's currently the head of the Tencent Video platform. Our relationship with him has been pretty good in recent years. It would be best if we could maintain a friendly relationship with him. After all, we need to contact him a lot when it comes to broadcasting or releasing our works. If we have a good relationship, we can get more traffic and influence."

Xiao He was initially quite nervous, feeling like a primary school student about to give a presentation to the leader. However, after Liu Rulan introduced everyone sitting below to him one by one, Xiao He felt confident again.

He knows everyone here!

What's the point of being indecisive then?

"So, Brother Xiao, are you nervous about your first stage performance this time?"

At this moment, Xiao Chen also came over and asked with a grin.

"Much better." Xiao He patted his chest, then tapped Xiao Chen, "Make sure the photos below look good for me, I'll post them in the family group chat."

"Mission accomplished!"

Xiao Chen saluted in a playful manner.

Then Xiao He continued to ask Liu Rulan, "After the performance, shall I go sit over there for a while?"

"Well, we should try to coordinate a time for President Tao's invitation. You can discuss it with him in person."

People of the same age have more to talk about, and since Tao Zidong took over Xingchen Entertainment, he has always treated Xiao He very well. Faced with his invitation, Xiao He should at least go and socialize with him.
