Chapter 1: Rebirth
hot.
It's so hot.
Wen Yu subconsciously tugged at her collar, but she heard a man's sarcastic voice beside her ear: "How does it feel to suffer the consequences of your own actions?"
……Who is speaking?
Wen Yu's thoughts were a little confused. He tried his best to open his eyes, but he could only see the vague outline of the man's face.
"There's still half an hour until the first stage."
The man looked down at Wen Yu, his beautiful eyes filled with undisguised disgust: "People like you don't deserve to debut at all."
…
Backstage of the "Pick Me" talent show.
The director looked at the suddenly empty space in front of the dressing table and turned around anxiously backstage: "Where's Teacher Song? Didn't I tell you to stay close to Teacher Song and report anything to me immediately?"
The staff member's forehead was covered with sweat. "I... I don't know... I remember Teacher Song was backstage five minutes ago..."
He went to the bathroom five minutes ago, but when he came back, Song Shinian was gone.
"What are you still standing there for? Go find it!"
The director rubbed his brow tiredly.
"Pick Me" is the most anticipated talent show of the year voted by netizens. The director has put a lot of effort into this show. Not only did he spend a huge amount of money to set up the stage, he even invited Song Shinian, who was once very popular all over the country.
How popular was Song Shinian back then?
In that era when the Internet was not yet developed, the video of Song Shinian singing on the street exceeded 100 million views. The first album he released after his debut sold millions of copies, with sales exceeding 10 million; the second album released in the same year sold 10.83 million copies, with sales of more than 60 million.
The three words "Song Shinian" were like a dark horse, quickly sweeping across major music platforms.
It was thought that with such good results, Song Shinian would continue to focus on his music career, but unexpectedly he secluded himself to learn acting. Many people in the industry ridiculed him for overestimating his abilities, but the first movie Song Shinian starred in achieved a good box office of 3.9 billion.
With both his music and acting careers flourishing, "Song Shinian" has become a new top star and has received countless attention. More and more people have become his fans. On the first day that Song Shinian officially opened his Weibo account, his number of Weibo fans exceeded 10 million.
At that time, the entertainment industry was full of predictions about Song Shinian. Some said that Song Shinian would become the youngest film emperor, some said that Song Shinian would enter the TV drama industry next, and some said that Song Shinian would pick up music again...
No one expected that Song Shinian would retire from the entertainment industry at the height of his popularity.
His Weibo post completely stopped at five years ago. It was a very short post with only two words.
--"goodbye."
The accompanying picture is a bright moon.
…
Thinking of the popularity and traffic that Song Shinian brought to "Pick Me", the director decided to go find Song Shinian with the staff.
He put a lot of effort into inviting Song Shinian to be the mentor of "Pick Me" this time.
The reason why "Pick Me" has become the most popular talent show is because of the living signboard of "Song Shinian". If Song Shinian cannot participate in the recording of this episode as scheduled, their show will definitely be criticized and become a hot topic.
Thinking of this, the director quickened his pace.
Song Shinian pushed open the door and saw the anxious director. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
"Teacher Song, where have you been?"
The director breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Song Shinian.
"Dealing with some personal matters."
Song Shinian hadn't expected this trainee to be so bold as to use the name "Wen Yu" to deceive him...
Thinking of this, the hostility in his eyes deepened.
The director didn't notice anything unusual about Song Shinian. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the time: "Teacher Song, the audition will start in ten minutes..."
"Pick Me" is a talent show that is broadcast live throughout the show.
There are a total of 100 contestants participating in the audition. "Pick Me" has a total of nine live broadcasts. Eleven people will be eliminated in each live broadcast until the last contestant is crowned the king.
There are actually quite a few talent shows that have appeared in recent years, but in the end, most of them will leave 5-9 people to form a group and debut.
"Pick Me" is different, it will only leave one person.
This kind of draft mechanism is more exciting and cruel.
"Um."
Song Shinian had learned about the "Pick Me" audition rules before coming. He nodded slightly and said, "Let's go."
…
First stage scene.
After receiving the message from the director, the photographer in charge of the live broadcast opened the live broadcast software.
"Pick Me" is a fully live stage performance. Because there had been preheating before, many netizens flocked into the live broadcast room after the official Weibo of "Pick Me" went live.
The number of viewers in the upper right corner increased from zero to ten thousand in just thirty seconds.
Is the list your production team sent out real? Song Shinian has been retired for so long, will he really be on the show?
[Grandpa! The star you follow is back to life!!!]
[Five years! Do you know how I've been spending these five years?]
[This is my first time seeing this livestream. Is Song Shinian very popular?]
How should I put it? Song Shinian was on par with Wen Yu at his peak. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Seeing the familiar name "Wen Yu", the barrage of comments that were scrolling wildly stopped for a few seconds.
Wen Yu is a talented singer who dominated the Golden Melody Awards at the age of seventeen, and a monster newcomer who swept the three major film awards at the age of twenty.
Song Shinian's achievements are certainly admirable, but when it comes to the top stars in the entertainment industry, the first name that fans think of is still "Wen Yu".
even though……
Wen Yu has been dead for five years.
Although "Pick Me" is a talent show-type variety show, the show has not officially started yet, so the topics in the live broadcast room are varied, but most of them are discussing "Song Shinian" and "Wen Yu".
Since the start of the live broadcast, the director has been paying attention to the comments in the live broadcast room.
When he saw the familiar name "Wen Yu", his expression became unusually dazed.
"Director Li, it's your turn to go on stage."
The voice of the staff brought the director back to his senses.
He put Wen Yu out of his mind and simply said "hmm".
