Holography can present the greatest visual effect. When it comes to visual effects, what can be more expressive than the stage!
After hearing the news, countless bosses of small entertainment companies were overjoyed, thinking that their chance had come.
Xingmang Entertainment doesn't have many idols, but they do. Many companies sign over a hundred at a time. Even if there are a lot of people, there will always be one or two who can win.
It doesn’t matter if they don’t win, since they are not the ones who have to work hard.
Originally, these young artists were signed with the intention of being submitted to various talent shows to see if they could get lucky and get one of them promoted. It doesn't matter where they are promoted.
It sounds outrageous but also somewhat reasonable. In the circle, even in big companies like Star Entertainment, there are very few idol-related artists.
On the contrary, those small and unknown companies have a large number of people under them.
For a time, all small companies were on high alert.
There are even bosses who know the truth that "you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb", so they grit their teeth and stomp their feet, and specially invite professional mentors from Country P to guide their young artists.
For a moment, those young boys and girls were all extremely surprised, and most of them practiced very hard, hoping to show their faces in such a great opportunity.
As we all know, China's variety shows are gradually becoming inward-looking, and talent shows are emerging in an endless stream. But if nothing unexpected happens, a talent's most glorious stage moment is during the talent show period.
China has platforms for acting and platforms for pure singing, but if an idol wants to show himself on stage, he can only act first. Once his acting becomes popular, he will have a little chance.
This is not to say that Chinese idols are inherently bad, but rather that major companies in the Chinese entertainment industry are only used to making quick money.
Teaching, practice, none of these doesn't take time. Before this, other countries' entertainment circles held talent shows, and China did the same. However, in general, during the talent show process, the producers would earn almost the same amount of fame and money.
After the selection, the company basically pushed all the candidates towards acting, regardless of whether they were singers or dancers.
Like Jinjiu and his friends, they became famous through a singing talent show and have the support of a big boss like Shengquan. They can gain huge fame without having to switch to acting. Singers who can hold concerts are rare in the circle.
As for those idols who mainly compete in dancing, no matter how talented they are in the idol career, they still have to gain fame through cross-industry acting. Most of them will not get the opportunity to perform on stage even if they have become famous.
Is it that the stage cannot be held? That is not the case. Isn’t it true that everyone knows that it is more profitable to do other quick money? But that was in the past.
"Holographic stages are very popular now. According to a random survey of passers-by, 90 out of 100 people are willing to pay to watch holographic stages. The era of idols is finally here."
In a certain public software, an anonymous person talked about his experience in an extremely excited tone.
[I was also a talent show player, and I won the championship with my teammates. But after winning, I didn’t live a happy life like in the storybooks. ]
[Without a stage, we have no place to show off the skills we have practiced for many years]
[We were asked by the company to film, but we are not professional actors at all]
[I didn’t act well and was scolded so much. I really wanted to shout that my major is dancing, not acting, but I had a contract and had to bite the bullet and continue acting.]
[I finally saw an opportunity to perform on stage, but I couldn’t even go on stage because I had no fame. When I went to sign up, the person in charge actually told me that I had to be famous in acting first]
[Wow, wow, wow, wow. I don’t expect to be on the holographic stage. I just hope that this holographic stage organized by Director Sheng can become popular and give more stages to little idols like us in the circle.]
This anonymous little idol leaked a lot of information, but no one tried to expose him because there were too many people in the domestic entertainment industry who had the same experience as him.
There are many champions of various programs who quickly disappeared after becoming famous, and there are also many who were forced by their companies to cross over to film in other industries. Basically, they disappeared before they could make any splash.
There was a saying in the domestic entertainment industry before: no matter if you are a singer or a dancer, you will eventually become an actor.
Therefore, there is always a shortage of people frantically flattering Sheng Quan on her Weibo. She never reads her private messages, but there are probably even more small artists who flatter her in her private messages.
They flatter her not because she made many actors famous, but because she also made singers like Jinjiu famous.
Moreover, the singers of Star Mang are there to sing. The company has never asked them to act. They just sing various interludes and theme songs of the company's movies and TV series, and they also hold concerts for them.
It sounds like it's normal for a singer to only sing, but it's actually quite rare in the domestic entertainment industry.
Xingmang had already become a giant in the industry without anyone noticing, and now it had even set up a stage. For a while, before Xingmang even started to announce its results, self-recommendations had already poured into the company like raindrops.
There was a busy atmosphere in Xingmang again. This time, Gu Zhao did not shorten his meal time. He was able to control himself now. No matter how busy he was, he would eat well, drink well and sleep well.
I had never tried to relieve the sense of urgency that I felt like I was always being chased by a dog, but over the past few years, it had faded to the point of almost disappearing without me noticing.
Gu Zhao said to Sheng Quan: "Maybe this is the legendary sense of security."
Sheng Quan: “…”
Every time she saw Gu Zhao, with her beautiful face and light grey eyes that looked like an emotionless and mechanismless robot, saying such words, she felt like a robot had become a spirit.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Gu Zhao had become more and more humane in the past two years.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that kind of worldly-wise humanity, but he is no longer so insistent on a monotonous life.
For example, Gu Zhao always insisted on wearing formal clothes when working, and the clothes had to be ironed until there was no wrinkle. No matter what the weather was like or whether the air conditioner was on, he would always button up to the top button and would never unbutton it when eating.
Strictly speaking, this is not a problem, and it is normal to dress like this when working.
——If Gu Zhao didn’t work 24 hours a day, except for sleeping and eating.
But at this moment, he did not dress neatly as usual, but simply wore a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned for comfort.
Sheng Quan was not surprised to find that Gu Zhao's collarbone was quite nice. Although he was busy, he never neglected fitness and always maintained a good figure. He was the typical person who looked thin when dressed and had muscular body when undressed.
Mr. Gu, who always looks very cool, rolled up his sleeves a little today, revealing his bony wrist with a new watch on it.
Well, no matter how busy Gu Zhao is, his aesthetic taste is still as good as ever. This watch sets off his wrist really well.
Seeing Sheng Quan's eyes resting on his watch, he opened the drawer, took out a box and handed it to him: "I bought one for you too."
"Thank you. I was just about to ask you if this is the latest model."
Sheng Quan was not polite either. Gu Zhao's income was not low. Ever since he gave her the little grass, and maybe because Ryan started to contact him frequently after that, the gifts Gu Zhao gave her later were all these beautiful and comfortable things.
Director Sheng certainly would not let his subordinates suffer any loss, and he often gave gifts to Gu Zhao and others. Everyone gave gifts to each other, and everyone got used to it.
She opened the box directly, put on the beautiful watch inside, admired it for a few seconds, and then started to talk about business:
"How is it going? Has the number of self-recommendations received by the company met expectations?"
“It’s far exceeded.”
Speaking of work, Gu Zhao immediately entered working mode. The expression on his face, which had just softened a little, quickly became serious. He handed the prepared documents to Sheng Quan.
"Take a look."
"The expenditure on the holographic stage also exceeded the original expectations, so I approved some more funds to go in."
Sheng Quan: "Criticize it, this stage will be shown all over the world, it's worth it no matter how much money it costs."
Xingmang is extremely busy right now, and of course it’s not just to cultivate a few idols.
This is the first appearance of holographic technology in the entertainment industry. Xingmang has no idols. The history of idols in China is lower than that of other countries with more developed idol pages, but Shengquan has no intention of just sitting on the plate in China.
She has now mastered the skill of reading documents. She is not very fast, but she reads carefully. After reading, she signs her name when she is satisfied and hands it back.
In fact, the hype has already begun. Before the stage was unveiled, major media outlets were already boasting that this is "the largest and most eye-catching stage in the country."
"But what we want is not the most eye-catching stage in the country, but the most eye-catching stage in the world."
"This time, the initiative is in our hands from the beginning. It's a great opportunity."
Towards Gu
Zhao, Sheng Quan doesn't need to hide anything.
This guy's ambition to conquer the world is no less than hers.
Sure enough, when talking about this, Gu Zhao looked more energetic, and his beautiful eyes lit up slightly at this moment: "Yes, I understand."
Xingmang Entertainment’s current status in the country is no longer the same as it used to be.
In recent years, Xingmang has always maintained the development policy of "rapid development in one wave and then slow development in another wave". Almost every year, the company occupies two more floors.
The speed may not seem fast at first glance, but if you look at the fact that Xingmang has only taken four years to leap from an unknown small company to the top of the Chinese entertainment industry, you will know how terrifying Xingmang's development is.
During these four years, in addition to stars like Jiang Zhenhua who have already reached the top, Xingmang has also been constantly replenishing its core members, cultivating new artists, and shooting a large number of high-quality film and television works.
Because they are not afraid of investment in the early stages and are willing to give artists time to grow and learn, a large number of excellent works and artists emerge in an endless stream. Although there have only been two artists as popular as Jiang Zhen in the past few years, for entertainment companies, this is more than enough.
Look at other big companies. No matter how many years they have stood firm, they are always supported by those few pillars.
Both Sheng Quan and Gu Zhao knew that Xingmang’s current status in the country was already high enough, and the next step would be its international status.
This cannot be achieved quickly. In the past four years, Star Mang has produced countless hit films, but it is still not very famous in the world. People know Star Mang more because their favorite artists are on the band.
But think about it, those big foreign companies have been around for at least several decades, and they have cultivated superstars and have numerous connections in various industries.
How is it possible that Xingmang Entertainment can catch up in four years?
"But we are young." Sheng Quan joked to Gu Zhao: "We have plenty of time to slowly outlast them, so you should pay more attention to your health. As long as you don't die young, we will definitely win."
It was not known whether Gu Zhao could tell that she was joking, but President Gu nodded seriously, as if he was determined to carry out Sheng Quan's words to the end.
It’s true, if Xingmang really relies on perseverance, they might be able to outlast those world-renowned companies.
But, isn't this the appearance of holographic technology? If Sheng Quan doesn't take this opportunity to rush forward quickly, he will feel that he is not doing Ning Zhou a favor.
"Within three months, try to get the holographic stage in front of the world."
This is not very difficult.
Although China's entertainment industry was still in an underdeveloped state a few years ago, it has never been taken seriously by the entertainment industries of other countries.
But firstly, Starburst has made a big appearance in recent years, and secondly, the holographic technology is a world exclusive.
No matter which country's entertainment industry it is, no matter whether their entertainment industry has a stage or not, I believe no one will miss the opportunity to appear on the first holographic stage.
In particular, Sheng Quan plans to repeat his old tricks and create a stage that will attract worldwide attention.
No, it’s not about creation, it simply attracts worldwide attention.
*** “Holographic stage?”
In country P, in a popular girl group in the country, the members are gathered together, listening to their agent analyzing the stage that China is planning.
"I know Xingmang Entertainment, it's one of the largest companies in China, and Jinjiu belongs to them."
"Is the boss' name Sheng Quan? She is famous for being rich."
Members shared the news they knew.
"This is the world's first holographic stage, and also the first stage that will be broadcast live in the entire Polar Holographic Game. Do you know what this means?"
The agent pointed to the chart on the big screen and said, "Let's not talk about how many viewers there will be in reality. This is the number of Polar Game players."
A shocking number appeared in front of the members, and they all opened their eyes wide in shock.
Sheng Quan did not redo the game, but the benefits of taking over the polar region were fully demonstrated at this moment.
It takes time for a game to accumulate a large number of players. If she makes a game from scratch, no matter how exciting the game is, it will take a lot of time to build a mature player world.
But it’s different in Polar. Even though there are still a large number of people who cannot afford a holographic helmet, they will not give up the game. Instead, they will continue to play the game while figuring out how to save money to buy a helmet.
Generally speaking, no matter how many game players there are, the most the game company can do is accept advertisements or guide players to spend money.
However, now the polar region has become a holographic game.
What players see in the game is basically the same as the real picture, and Sheng Quan, who controls the entire game, is equivalent to having a large number of viewers from all over the world.
She only needs to use holographic technology to broadcast the scenes on the stage live into the game, then a large number of players will be able to enjoy the stage up close even if they have not bought tickets in reality, but have bought tickets in the game.
At the beginning, few people noticed this, but since Sheng Quan announced that the stage would be broadcast live in the game, the holographic stage, which was already extremely popular due to Xingmang’s vigorous promotion, suddenly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
This of course also includes the girl group members from country P.
Who would be so hard on the audience? There were so many of them! "Can we join in?"
The members of the girl group didn't hesitate at all, and looked at their agent with full of anticipation and a little trepidation.
After all, this is China's stage. If they go across the border, how many procedures will they have to go through? Will the company agree?
The agent also blushed with excitement at the huge number of viewers: "Of course, otherwise why would I come to you."
"I fought hard to get this opportunity for you. Not everyone wants to go to Xingmang. For example, in our country P, there are only three spots." She did not forget to brag about her own achievements: "Do you know how hard I worked to get this? This is not only a stage for China, but also a stage for the whole world."
"You don't have to win the championship or anything. As long as you can be shortlisted and enter the live broadcast range of Polar Games, you will be famous enough!"
No one disputed this statement.
Hologram, a large audience, this is the stage that every idol longs for.
Not to mention countries like Country P which has many idol groups, even those countries with fewer idol groups don't want to give up this opportunity.
"Okay, we will definitely not let the company down!"
As this girl group was preparing to rise, various countries also began their own competition.
For a while, the holographic stage became the focus of everyone's attention, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Xingmang also fell into a dilemma.
As long as foreign countries give out the quotas, they will naturally be able to get a lot of resources in return.
But who should we choose in China? (End of this chapter)
