“Is this painted bamboo?”

"Tu Zhu?! Tu Zhu is also here to participate in the audition? Quick! Take the photo quickly! We must get a high-definition photo of his face!"

"Did you take a clear picture of the helicopter landing at the audition building just now? Maybe Sheng Quan is really inside there."

To know how popular the holographic stage is, just look at how many paparazzi are guarding the audition building.

In almost all talent show auditions, ninety-nine out of a hundred people who come to the auditions are amateurs. This should have no appeal to media workers.

This was even just the initial audition. There were crowds of people "ambushing" almost everywhere in the audition building. Some carried their own cameras, and some brought photographers.

There were even some smart internet celebrity players who seized every opportunity to catch the attention of the crowd. They would squat nearby with a mobile phone in hand, broadcasting live and providing commentary.

Wu Yun is one of the internet celebrities who is smart enough to come to the scene to catch the attention. Ever since he used the account [Riding a Little Donkey] to catch the hot spot of Sheng Quan, a fan of the book "The Road of Life" who invested a huge amount of money in the crew, and gained countless attention overnight, he seemed to have found the key to success.

From then on, the account [Riding a Little Donkey] always kept up with Mr. Sheng's current affairs, grasped the development of Xingmang, and followed behind Sheng Quan to report whatever he did as soon as possible, successfully gaining countless fans who followed Sheng Quan.

To date, [Riding a Little Donkey] has become a big V among big Vs, and he always knows who is the reason for all that he has achieved.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sheng Quan has countless fans, but when it comes to the most true love and the most steadfast, Wu Yun can definitely be ranked in the top ten.

Is this Mr. Sheng? This is his bread and butter!

So as soon as he saw the helicopter appear, Wu Yun started following the movement with his mobile phone camera.

Of course, after filming the helicopter of the parents who provide food and clothing, Tu Zhu, a hot topic figure surrounded by negative news and whose number of black fans can almost be compared to the top three in the entertainment industry, must not be missed.

In fact, Wu Yun doesn’t usually watch any idols, but he thinks that his goddess, yes, his goddess is Sheng Quan.

Whatever the goddess wants to do, she will definitely succeed.

And the world's first holographic stage...

Wu Yun now has some savings, so when the goddess' holographic device came out, he gritted his teeth and spent a large amount of money to buy a holographic simulation environment.

Although it is not as good as a holographic cabin, it is better than a helmet. In order to play it better, he also applied for a fitness card near his home, trying to make his gaming experience better by strengthening his body in reality.

It didn't take long. After going to bed early and getting up early to adjust himself to use the holographic simulation environment, Wu Yun felt a lot healthier.

Naturally, he also gave the credit to the goddess.

Therefore, if the goddess wants to hold a holographic stage, then I must support it! There are Xingmang security guards standing guard around the audition building, and Wu Yun and other people who came to take pictures can't get close.

This large area was rented by Xingmang to ensure the success of the preliminary auditions.

Some people used to think that Xingmang was really rich. They actually rented an entire building as the audition site for just one preliminary audition.

But when Wu Yun and his companions arrived at the scene, they found that Xingmang's decision was not an exaggeration at all. They had only been there for a short while, and there were so many people entering the building that they could fill an entire train car.

"Tu Zhu...I think he just terminated his contract with his original company?"

Watching the people go in, Wu Yun temporarily put his phone aside and asked the assistant next to him in a low voice...Yes, he also has an assistant now.

The assistant also responded quietly: "Yeah, there was quite a big fuss when the contract was terminated."

"Shenhua Entertainment also issued a notice, saying that Tu Zhu had stabbed the company in the back, saying that it was Shenhua who made Tu Zhu famous, but he turned his back on him. They were just short of pointing their finger at him and cursing him."

"No wonder Tu Zhu's Weibo was attacked again, but wasn't he quite popular before he signed with Sun Hung Kai?"

Assistant: "The haters don't care about these things. As long as they have a reason to curse, that's enough. Tu Zhu's fans can't suppress the haters at all. His Weibo has been completely destroyed. But he is participating in the audition of the holographic stage. This is big news!"

"Big news? Then Tu Zhu can't get a number." A voice suddenly came from the side, scaring the two of them.

They looked over and found that there was a man squatting at the corner smoking. Wu Yun glanced at the work ID on the man's neck and asked, "Are you a reporter?"

He approached in a very familiar manner, showing that he was all ears:

"Dude, we just got here and we're not professionals. We don't understand a lot of things. What do you mean by not being able to get a number?"

"Are there other celebrities coming to this preliminary audition?"

The reporter was also very easy to talk to. He stood up, patted himself, and pointed at the audition building: "You will find it if you squat for a while. There are more than just other stars here... If this show doesn't go viral, I will wash my hair upside down."

*** Inside the audition building.

As soon as Tu Zhu and Lawyer Ma entered, they went through a series of procedures and quickly got their own number plates.

He took off his mask. The rule here is not to wear masks to facilitate surveillance and recording.

It is a normal procedure to collect number plates for offline auditions of talent shows, but the problem is that the number plate has already reached 1,0800.

It is normal for a large-scale talent show to have tens of thousands of auditions, but the number plates are usually reset on the same day. The number 1,0800 means that today alone, a thousand people have entered the building before him.

The staff member who issued the number plate had an already friendly smile, and after being struck by Tu Zhu's appearance, he became even more friendly: "Your number plate is assigned to the 36th floor, room 10, and the elevator is over there."

Tu Zhu was fine. Although a little surprised, she was still calm. However, Lawyer Ma, who accompanied her, was different. As soon as she entered the elevator,

, seeing that there was no one inside, he immediately started to chatter: "Oh my god, we came so early and the queue is already over a thousand. How many people will come for this audition? Can all the artists who meet the requirements from all over the country come?"

Just as he finished speaking, the elevator was slowly closing when it was suddenly opened from the outside. The two of them looked up subconsciously and saw five tall and good-looking boys wearing team uniforms walking in.

When he first came in, he was visibly stunned when he saw Tu Zhu's appearance.

Then, three more pretty girls in team uniforms came in behind them. They were also surprised by Tu Zhu's appearance. Then both parties smiled politely and greeted each other in Chinese with a hint of awkwardness:

"Hello."

After receiving responses from Tu Zhu and Lawyer Ma, these young and beautiful boys and girls, who were like beautiful rainbows, turned around, but they couldn't help but glance at Tu Zhu secretly.

They didn't communicate, but they were very uneasy.

Tu Zhu's appearance is so outstanding that for an idol, he is naturally a great threat to them.

--bite!

--bite!

As the elevator with two teams arrived, the two teams got out of the elevator.

As soon as they went out, they immediately started communicating in a low voice in their own country's language.

"What country is he from? He looks so stunning, I almost thought I saw a character from a game."

"Oh my god, the competition is so fierce. Why have I never heard of him?"

A young boy with silver-white hair tried to recall: "I know him, his name is Tu Zhu, and he is from China."

After remembering Tu Zhu's identity, the young man's expression relaxed a lot: "Don't worry too much. As far as I know, he hasn't performed on stage for a long time. It seems that his company doesn't even let him use the dance studio."

The others breathed a sigh of relief but were also a little curious: "How do you know so much?"

The young boy was quite proud: "I have been learning Chinese for a long time, and I often follow the news from China."

Looking at the admiring and appreciative eyes of his teammates after they suddenly realized what was going on, he felt proud but also a little guilty.

Well, actually he learned Chinese in order to recommend himself in Sheng Quan’s private messages on Weibo.

Sheng Quan was much more famous than she had imagined.

The fact that he single-handedly brought up the international superstar Jiang Zhen is enough to make artists all over the world envy him.

Even if he is from country V, he will have a beautiful dream of being appreciated by Mr. Sheng of China and reaching the peak of his life.

But unfortunately, the bigger the Starlight gets, the less likely Mr. Sheng appears in front of the public, and he can only comfort himself by fantasizing about it every day.

In the elevator, Tu Zhu and Lawyer Ma were also discussing them.

Lawyer Ma was still a little dazed and didn't react:

"That... isn't that the three-member girl group that's been very popular in Country P recently? And those boys look familiar, too. They seem to be a boy group from Country V."

He was completely shocked: "What the hell! Can you participate internationally?"

Then he couldn't help but worry again.

If there were only domestic players, he would have full confidence in Tu Zhu, but if there were foreign players as well…

To be fair, China's idol industry is indeed not as professional as others, especially country P, which is a country that produces a lot of idols and has a very strong entertainment culture.

Before Starlight came out of nowhere, when everyone was criticizing the Chinese entertainment industry and scolding the capitalists, celebrities, screenwriters and directors, the entertainment environment in country P was always the one that was praised.

Even Lawyer Ma, who is not in the industry, had the first reaction of “Oh my god, how can this be played?”

Tu Zhu was not surprised by this situation.

Any artist who regards the stage as his or her lifelong career knows that the holographic stage will completely change the industry.

Idols are different from performing artists in that their entire careers are confined to this small stage. Although the stage scenes can be recorded and circulated, if you want better results, they can only be presented live.

But after a performance, how many people can the audience seats below accommodate at most?

And how much money does it cost to set up a concert?

Even if fans go to the scene, except for some excellent seats, the rest of the people can only see the picture clearly through the big screen. They say they go to the scene, but in fact they may not even be able to see the faces of their idols clearly.

For fans who like idols, the experience of giving and receiving is often not proportional. Although most of the time, these fans don’t care, but after a long time, fans will always leave due to various factors.

For example...his fans.

Thinking of the insults in the Weibo comments, Tu Zhu closed his eyes.

Try it again...one last time.

Even though no one knew he had tried.

——In the main control room, Sheng Quan was looking at the large screens in front of him, which displayed the surveillance images of each floor.

These surveillance cameras are located in every corner of the building, providing high-definition images and smooth audio enjoyment, ensuring that when some of the contestants are selected and become famous in the future, the universal editor will be able to edit some clips from these images as a benefit for fans.

At first, the building owners were unwilling to cooperate with Xingmang in installing so many cameras. However, when Xingmang stated that all of these would be at their own expense, they immediately cooperated very smoothly.

An An An, if you don't have enough manpower, we can also send security personnel to help! Facts have proved that so many cameras are still very necessary.

Even though the auditions had only officially started for less than three hours, there were already crowds of people standing on every floor of the building.

Her gaze fell on the 36th floor and stopped on Tu Zhu.

Mr. Sheng took a sip of milk tea.

Shit, no matter how many times I watch it, it's always good.

Compared to those stiff faces in TV dramas due to poor acting, and the young man with a gloomy aura on the set that she peeked at last time, Tu Zhu in the surveillance video was just standing there waiting for applause, and he was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off him.

Are his facial features the creation of Nuwa? How can he be so beautiful? This kind of beauty is not the kind of beauty that Yan Hui, Jin Jiu, and Jiang Zhen have, but the kind of perfection that makes people unable to take their eyes away after just one look.

So Mr. Sheng looked at her again and again, and didn't feel shameful at all for being moved by her beauty.

Tu Zhu is a person who can surely be called "the most beautiful person" in a world where people's appearance is generally high.

It's normal for her to like watching.

Mr. Sheng, who always loves looking at beautiful women, looked at them happily for a long time, enjoying the highly comfortable experience for his eyes.

At the same time, she became more certain about her holographic stage plan.

A person's preferences will affect the level of attention. When following the article, Sheng Quan didn't even remember Tu Zhu.

On the one hand, he really only appears briefly in the book, and not much ink is devoted to his life.

On the other hand, she was not interested in idols in her previous life.

If you are a fan of an actor, you can turn on the TV series at any time and watch your idol’s superb acting skills in ultra-high definition.

If you are a fan of the singer, you can put on headphones, lie on the bed, close your eyes and happily immerse yourself in the world of musical notes of your idol.

Even the most hilarious comedians were able to be made to laugh, giving the experience a perfect feel.

Where are the idols?

The stage was explosive and cool, but they couldn’t just watch it whenever they wanted.

Even if they are willing to travel a long way and pay for the tickets, the venue is so small that it is still unclear whether they can get tickets.

As a working dog, it is difficult for her to have time, money and energy at the same time.

Even for relatively simple fan actors, Sheng Quan can't find time to express her love, so her biggest hobby is reading novels.

She can read it while commuting on the subway, on the way home after working overtime, while listening to books while taking a bath, and while eating.

Sheng Quan once thought that for working people, the best hobby would be reading novels.

Chasing stars? She doesn't have time.

She didn't even have time to pick which celebrity was less likely to have her reputation ruined.

However, when the stage is connected with holographic technology, it means that any audience member can enter the holographic world and directly watch the performance of their idol at close range.

Sheng Quan's choice of the holographic stage was not a sudden whim, but the result of careful consideration of all aspects.

From the fans' perspective, the holographic stage is like a godsend. Just imagining it brings them infinite joy.

Not only live broadcast, but also replay.

They can appreciate the brilliance of their idols on the stage over and over again from the best distance, just like Sheng Quan can open her favorite novels and savor them carefully on her way to work.

Holographic technology and the idol stage are just like a pot with a missing mouth and a protruding lid, a perfect match.

The idol industry, which once relied on youth and had a high ceiling, will be completely changed under holographic technology and leap to the top of the entertainment industry.

Of course, the top of the entertainment industry does not only refer to China.

This is Sheng Quan’s real purpose.

But now, she needs to go see who she is sponsoring.

*** Tu Zhu stood quietly. There were too many people in the corridor and he had no space to practice. He could only recall every movement silently in his mind.

Lawyer Ma ran around everywhere. As a lawyer, his professional level can only be described as above average, but his communication skills can definitely be called perfect.

Soon, he became friends with artist A, helped artist B check whether his movements were standard, received artist C's personal contact information, and helped artist D answer several legal questions.

He easily asked the security personnel for the location of the tea room, and happily brought back two cups. He drank the beverage, and gave the plain water to Tu Zhu who needed to protect his throat.

While drinking a beverage, he shared the news he had found out:

"You know, it's been confirmed that the person who just came in the helicopter is Director Sheng. He's here on a secret visit."

"Also, everyone is guessing why President Sheng came to the audition. The most popular reason is that she has a favorite contestant and came for him."

Tu Zhu drank some water and listened quietly.

He could find out that [Mr. Sheng is mighty and produces countless grains], so he naturally knew some of Sheng Quan's habits. When he knew that Mr. Sheng really came here, he had the same guess in his mind.

Everyone knows that Sheng Quan has a hobby of discovering talents personally.

Before terminating his contract with the company, during the most difficult time, Tu Zhu naturally fantasized that he could be noticed by Sheng Quan.

But, dreams are just dreams after all.

Look at his current reputation, look at the insults under his Weibo, and the comments from passers-by that almost demoted him to the ground...

Tu Zhu gradually stopped having such beautiful dreams.

People around were discussing Sheng Quan's arrival in low voices or excitedly.

Idols are generally young and lively. At this age, they are full of imagination and expectations.

Just like...the bamboo painting before.

"I'm really looking forward to it. Maybe Director Sheng will personally audition for us."

"This building has a total of 43 floors. I don't know which floor Mr. Sheng will appear on."

"Ahhhh I'm so nervous. I really hope it's Director Sheng who comes to interview me in person."

"You're just daydreaming! But I want to do it too!"

Amid such discussions, Tu Zhu stood there silently and motionlessly like a stone sinking in the river.

"Number one thousand and eight, Tu Zhu, please go into room ten."

Tu Zhu took a step forward and approached the room labeled with the number 10.

He pushed the door open, took a look inside, and was stunned.

The sunlight from the window shone on Sheng Quan. In the perfect light of autumn, she looked at the young man standing at the door against the light.

She smiled and raised her left hand, gently waving it left and right, a common greeting gesture.

"Hello, Tuzhu."
