The so-called “no stage” in China does not only refer to a real stage, but more to the fact that idols do not have a chance to showcase their singing and dancing abilities.

The national conditions in China are such that idols basically have no chance to shine except for a moment of glory on talent shows.

And I don’t know if everything will change to a focus on speed over quality when it comes to China. Even if these idols have a chance to stand out, it will only last for two years at most, and then they will be replaced immediately.

And now, stage and hologram are combined together.

This is not just a holographic stage, it also means that with the blessing of holography, in the future, as long as Xingmang Entertainment wants, it can easily build stages and attract large numbers of audiences.

This huge investment by Star Entertainment has allowed everyone to see a bright future. Those groups from other countries may just be doing it for glory, but for Chinese idol groups, it is life-saving.

“It actually came to the point of saving lives.”

Sheng Quan is looking through documents.

In China, idols who rely on opportunities to perform on stage have never had a strong presence. Even the star-chasing expert Sheng Quan rarely pays attention to this aspect because of his star-chasing habits in his previous life.

After all, without a stage to show off, the audience naturally has no way to get to know these idols. They don’t even know them, let alone be their fans.

Although he has been in this world for four years, Sheng Quan's vision, knowledge and character have greatly improved during these four years. After all, the temperaments of being rich and being poor are very different.

It turns out that rich people can really avoid the passage of time.

Sheng Quan now has a calm demeanor that comes from being in a high position for many years. He still looks as young as when he first came here, or even in better shape.

It was not known whether it was because she had been reciting it over and over in her mind, or because it was another golden finger of hers, but Sheng Quan still remembered the memories related to the original work clearly.

But in four years, she has basically dug up all the information related to Sheng Quan's career in this book. After all, this is an entertainment novel, and most of the plots are only set in China, and there is even less content related to idols.

But this time, the mission funding given by 006 is 2 billion, and Mr. Sheng really doesn't want to miss it.

[Are you sure it's 2 billion? Cash?]

President Sheng even suspected that there was a bug in 006. You know, the billions of dollars spent on buying the e-sports club had to be used specifically for fixed assets.

It is obvious which one is more valuable: a sum of money that can only be used on the same asset or a sum of money that can be used at will and can be used on the target of funding.

006 is quite proud: [My ability to make money is very impressive]

Sheng Quan's personal assets are growing like a snowball, and the same is true for 006, who has always insisted on making money from money.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sheng Quan is certainly not the richest man in the country today. At most, he is the richest man in the entertainment industry. But if 006's money is really taken out and ranked according to seniority, he can be ranked among the world's top billionaires.

However, it obviously did not have the consciousness of earning more and spending more, but happily said to Sheng Quan: "Host, do the task well, all my money is yours!"

Sheng Quan instantly became full of fighting spirit: [I will! ]

[Originally, I had to be careful about my investment in the holographic stage, but now it seems that I don’t have to do that at all]

Although she is very rich now, who would complain about having too much money? And it has to be said that running a business is really addictive. Every time the company expands and the businesses in hand make huge profits, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in the heart cannot be compared with looking at a thousand handsome men and beautiful women.

The most satisfying thing in life is to happily earn money while looking at all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women.

Especially since she has the final say on the makeup, costumes and appearance time of these handsome men and beautiful women, it feels great.

Sheng Quan took a sip of juice and his eyes fell on the high-definition picture on the computer: "Tu Zhu..."

*** Wu Ying is the overall person in charge of the entire holographic stage project.

She is only 28 years old this year and graduated from a well-known university. At this age, no matter how outstanding her abilities are, she would not be able to reach a high position so quickly.

But in Xingmang, she is already the person in charge of a project with a funding of hundreds of millions. It can be imagined that once this project is a great success, Wu Ying will be promoted to the position of vice president when she is less than 30 years old.

Even in the school where she graduated, Wu Ying, at her age, could hold such a position in a big company like Xingmang Entertainment, which was quite worthy of admiration from her younger classmates, who regarded her as an idol.

Wu Ying naturally cherishes the position she has worked hard for. Ever since the holographic stage project was finalized, she has been busy running around, and she has to personally confirm the final details of every link.

She even saved up her originally scheduled vacation time until the end of the year and planned to take it together with her annual leave. It can be said that she put everything into work.

Capable and hardworking, this is the current situation of the senior management of Star Entertainment. Most of them have worked their way up from one position. Some are young, some are old, and their annual salary has basically doubled.

Wu Ying's annual salary is the best among her peers, and she is far ahead of others. Hard work always pays off, which makes her happier.

Generally speaking, no one feels happy at work, but Wu Ying is an exception. Every time she looks at her position and salary, she is so happy that she almost flies.

However, in the past few days, the sunshine and optimism on Director Wu's face disappeared little by little.

"Not enough funds again?"

The holographic stage is not just about making a stage, it is for the whole world. In addition, the company plans to set up locations all over the world. After the domestic competition, the top three will go on a global tour.

Xingmang inherited Shengquan's "prudence" in doing things. These large and small locations selected as the stage setting were originally planned to be used later, so the funding would be a huge sum.

Besides, it is the global capital after all, so they have to buy good people and equipment for each link. It is impossible for the company to spend so much money and end up with a simple venue.

The business was too big, and even though Wu Ying wished she could split a dollar into two, she could only apply to the company for additional capital again and again.

Wu Ying was also caught in the middle and had a headache. On the one hand, the holographic stage had to be refined in every aspect, and on the other hand, the company had already spent a huge amount of money.

She knew that the company's cash flow was not very high. After all, in addition to the holographic stage project, the company had various other areas where it needed to spend money. It was currently filming two big-budget movies alone.

The current situation is: everything has been laid out, but there is not enough money.

Wu Ying was counting money in her head while eating that day, and she felt suffocated as she counted.

It's not that I'm choking, it's that I'm upset.

Suddenly, the message dinged, and then the group messages started to ring like a pot of boiling water.

Her first reaction was that something went wrong, and she quickly took out her mobile phone to check, only to see that her colleagues in the group were cheering.

"Two billion?!"

“Is this true?!!”

"Fuck, am I dreaming?"

"Director is awesome! I was thinking I'd be thankful if I could get 10 million!"

What two billion?! Wu Ying quickly checked her private messages. Sure enough, the company contacted her. When she opened it, five bright words appeared in front of her: Upper limit of two billion! !

Wu Ying: “…”

At this moment, her breathing became smooth.

It seemed as if I could see a bright future in front of me where I would get promoted and get a raise, become the vice president of the company, and reach the peak of my life.

Wu Ying held the phone tightly. She had never thought that the company would approve such a high amount in one go.

She remembered that when she submitted her resume, she was hesitant between Star Entertainment and another well-known large company.

Finally, it was her senior who joined Xingmang early who told her: "Xingmang is an entertainment company. It is definitely not easy to become world-renowned, but Xingmang has one advantage, which is that if you put in one point of effort, you will get one point of reward, and if you put in 100 points, you will get 100 points."

"When problems arise, the company will solve them quickly and won't put all the pressure on the employees. Just for this reason, I also plan to work at Xingmang for the rest of my life."

At that time, Wu Ying felt that what her senior sister said was a little exaggerated, but at this moment, she just felt extremely fortunate that she had listened to her senior sister and entered Xingmang.

However, she felt that her senior sister was wrong in one aspect.

World-renowned...why can't Xingmang be famous?

*** In a small entertainment company, a young man was looking through the messages on his phone with an expressionless face.

He is not very old and looks only about seventeen or eighteen years old. His facial features are extremely delicate. If we talk about appearance, he can be ranked first even in the entertainment industry where there is a lot of internal competition.

Just sitting there is enough to attract a large number of fans.

Of course, there are a lot of black people too.

"Tu Zhu, why are you reading the comments again? Didn't I tell you not to read them?"

The agent snatched the phone away, looked at the malicious comments on it, frowned and scolded him: "Which star doesn't have haters? If you care about these, when will you become famous?"

Even after his phone was snatched away, the boy remained expressionless: "What they said is not wrong. My acting is terrible. Whatever I play, it will ruin it. It's normal for them to scold me."

The agent didn't care: "What's wrong with bad acting? With your face, even if your acting is bad, there are still a lot of people who like you."

"We make a living by our looks."

The boy looked at him with his dark eyes, as calm as dead water: "I don't like myself."

The agent is also helpless. Sometimes he has to admit that people just don't have talent in certain areas. Tu Zhu came from a talent show and was better than his peers in both singing and dancing.

But when it comes to acting, no matter how hard he practices, he can't achieve any results. His facial expression management on stage can be called godlike, but when it comes to filming, he turns into a wooden beauty.

The key point is that the entertainment industry is like this. If you have a face, you will have fans. Tu Zhu doesn't have many works, but he has a lot of fans. If he were someone with a thick skin, I don't know how happy he would be, but Tu Zhu just can't be happy.

His acting is terrible, and before his haters start scolding him, he's already scolding himself. No matter how hard he tries, there's no hope of improvement. No matter how many acting classes he's signed up for, it's useless. It's like he was born without the talent for acting, and his acting is just rubbish.

The agent has given up and advised Tu Zhu to just make money, but Tu Zhu became more and more depressed and sleepless day by day.

"I've figured it out. I'm not an actor. I want to be on stage."

He suddenly said this, and his agent was stunned, then quickly rejected: "Why go on stage? How many years can you be popular as an idol? At most two years and then it's over."

"Don't worry about your acting skills. Your schedule is full for the next year. If you shoot seven or eight movies a year, you will improve. Even if you don't, your fans won't care."

Tu Zhu had expected his agent to say this.

He still stared at his agent with his dark eyes: "You know, my strength is on the stage."

"You told me before that there is no stage in China, but now Xingmang Entertainment has a holographic stage, and I want to participate."

He looked very calm, he was only eighteen years old this year, his delicate features were still childish, but there was no light in his dark eyes.

The agent knew he wasn't like this before.

Before being signed by the company, his beautiful eyes always seemed to be burning with a bright flame. He liked singing and dancing, and was as lively as a deer jumping in the jungle.

He was too young when he signed the contract, and once he was in the hands of the company, it was basically like falling into a hot pot.

At the beginning, Tu Zhu also made a fuss, but under the pressure of liquidated damages, the company used all kinds of soft and hard tactics, and finally, he remained silent and compromised.

For more than a few years, Tu Zhu has not been on stage again.

The company only cared about treating him as a cash cow and would never consider him. While the company was making a lot of money, Tu Zhu, who "had no acting skills but insisted on staying in the entertainment industry", also gained a large number of black fans.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the number of black fans among first-line actors is probably not as many as that of Tu Zhu, who curse and abuse him on his Weibo every day.

The worst thing is that Tu Zhu himself also thinks so in his heart. The more confident and happy he was in the past, the more inferior and depressed he is now.

The agent looked at Tu Zhu. He was really handsome. His looks could be said to be a gift from God. He was not the kind that was difficult to tell whether he was androgynous, but rather beautiful to the point of being breathtaking.

It is this face that has earned him thousands of fans, but also a large number of haters.

But now, that once radiant face is covered with a thick and dull layer. Temperament can really affect a person's appearance. Even though Tu Zhu's facial features have not changed, he does not look as good and stunning as before.

This is also one of the reasons why Tu Zhu's fans left in large numbers, and the departure of these people will only become the straw that breaks the camel's back for Tu Zhu, who is already feeling self-blame and pain.

The agent knew clearly that Tuzhu was gradually falling apart.

And now, he's trying to save himself.

With a glimmer of hope hidden in his eyes, the agent forced himself to harden his heart. He turned his head away and no longer looked at the young man who had fallen from glory into darkness.

"No, the company has already received the film fee."

There is another main reason. The company is worried that Tu Zhu will leave after he becomes famous. Although he is being criticized to pieces now, at least he can continue to stay in the company and make money.

And if he really spread his wings and flew high, what else could the company rely on to catch him? The light in Tu Zhu's eyes dimmed instantly.

"I want to go."

He whispered, "I really want to go."

His pleading eyes made the agent feel uncomfortable. When his eyes passed over Tu Zhu's wrists covered by long sleeves, he looked away as if he had been electrocuted.

He knew that the covered areas were scars.

——The bamboo is sinking.

But he refused the other party's request for help.

The agent closed his eyes and turned around: "I'm leaving. I'll take the phone for now. Come back to me when you calm down."

After the agent left, Tu Zhu walked to the computer and sat there blankly for a long time. Half an hour later, he looked back carefully and saw that there was no one at the door, so he turned on the computer.

A new post appeared in the forum [Mr. Sheng is mighty and produces countless grains]:

Does Mr. Sheng really only look at ability when signing people? Is it okay if you can sing and dance? I am a good dancer.
