Six hundred contestants stood on a stage large enough to accommodate them completely, looking at everything below the stage in near shock.

Sheng Quan was already lying in the holographic cabin at this moment, admiring the star cards that were lit up all over the venue with them.

The contestants' names were written in beautiful fonts, sparkling and beautiful as they could be, as dazzling as the never-falling stars in the sea of ​​stars.

In reality, the cost price of a Star brand of this quality is absolutely ridiculously expensive.

But in the holographic world, it only costs one cent.

One cent, in today's inflationary era, is almost like no money. Even students with the least pocket money can easily take out this cent.

And all it takes is a dime for the star brand, and you can choose from a variety of designs. The elaborate designs by the designers who immediately devoted themselves to the design at the behest of Mr. Sheng, as well as the star-studded special effects that would never exist in reality, all appear in front of the audience at a price that is almost free.

Who can resist this?! The audience regarded this as a benefit given by the game officials to the players. After all, the boss behind [Polar] and [Crossing the Star Sea] is Mr. Sheng.

Then they happily started shopping, and one "rich man" even spent nearly two dollars in one go to buy more than a dozen Star brands of different designs.

There is no need to worry about not being able to get it. This player thoughtfully set his game image to

The mammoth, even if there are a dozen more pieces hanging on it, its huge body will be no problem.

Although it sounds like a good benefit, the majority of players have given him the title of "loving players like their own children".

——But in fact, Sheng Quan still made money.

One cent may sound like a small amount, but what if hundreds of millions of people spend one cent each? Moreover, most people will not spend only one cent.

Game props are not like material costs. Each of these star cards is dazzling, but in the game, you just need to copy them.

Selling Xingpai is like the small cake given away on Shengquan’s happy harvest night, which is not very big but definitely sweet enough.

Of course, she sells Star Brands not just for this profit.

At this moment, the mammoth player who spent two dollars to buy a bunch of star cards in one go was in the audience... Although there were no seats in the audience at this moment, it did not affect him from curling up his nose in the crowd and showing off a star card with a [Blue River] hanging on it.

There is also a sign hanging on each of the two long curled tusks, with [Ge Ling] on the left and [Meimei] on the right.

He kept shouting:

"Lan He, you are the best!! Charge, charge, kill them all!!!"

"Song Spirit, my God! Aaaaaah!"

"Meimei, don't be scared!! We will definitely support you to the end!!!"

It also has a changing voice.

It's like a scene of schizophrenia.

The good news is that he is not alone. There are many audiences with similar mental problems like him at the scene. After all, the holographic equipment can bind three people, and it is normal for three people to take turns to go online in such a large occasion.

Although star signs were lit up throughout the venue, to be honest, at least 60% of the audience holding star signs and cheering enthusiastically were passers-by.

It is human nature to like to join in the fun, especially for netizens who surf the Internet everywhere.

When Sheng Quan was happily being a silly netizen, he would often encounter this situation. He would accidentally click on a live broadcast and see that the blogger was broadcasting seriously but there were no viewers at all.

She would also send a free little heart. This cannot be considered kindness, or intentional help to others, but sending a heart does not cost her energy or money, does not cause any loss to her, and can bring a little comfort to the blogger.

——Just doing it casually.

During the live broadcast, the contestants' nervousness was seen by the audience. After all, the star card only cost one cent, and the atmosphere on the stage made people want to hold up the beautiful star cards and blend in.

So, they naturally don’t mind buying a Star brand to express their support in a small way.

"After buying the Star brand, the situation is different."

Sheng Quan took a sip of Coke and chatted in a low voice with Yu Xiangwan.

Yes, it's so capricious to have a holographic cabin. She can drink Coke in the game, with ice, a straw and a lemon slice stuck in the cup.

She wasn't worried that her chat would be heard by anyone other than Yu Xiangwan, because this was a game and it allowed for one-on-one private chats. She could even block out the cheers and shouts from the audience.

Of course, Sheng Quan didn't block it, he just lowered the volume.

"Most of the audience are just here to join in the fun, but sometimes, the fate between people only requires a bond."

Even during the game, Yu Xiangwan still looked at Sheng Quan. He smiled faintly and refilled Sheng Quan's empty cup with Coke. Even if she just tapped lightly, the cup would be immediately filled with Coke.

"And you created a bond for them."

*** "It's my name!! They're calling me!!!"

The contestant whose voice was almost trembling with excitement was called Gan Su.

He is one of the less noticeable contestants in "Crossing the Star Sea". His inconspicuousness is not because he is bad. To be honest, the contestants who are selected for this show are generally not bad.

It's just that he hasn't made his debut yet, and there was no trace of him before he entered the show. He seems good in all aspects alone, but he is not good enough when compared to the show "Crossing the Star Sea" which is full of talented people.

His strength is not as eye-catching as those great players, and he does not have any unique qualities. He cannot make countless friends with witty remarks like player A, nor can he be as innocent and likable as player B, nor can he speak directly to the point like player C, who has created countless funny and interesting memes.

Even a dumb sixteen-year-old boy among the contestants was so cute and naive that he couldn't help but help.

——"In addition to your ability, the most important thing for talent shows is your camera sense. When your ability is the same as others, it's time to see if you are popular with the audience. As long as the audience likes you and votes for you to stay, you can stay for a few more episodes."

This was the experience taught to him by a senior contestant he met before joining the program.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how to use it.

It is difficult for Gan Su to say whether he has a good sense of the camera. Compared with other contestants who are either versatile or have achieved success before, he has to admit with frustration that if he were a spectator, he would only like others, not him.

So before going on stage, he was as timid as the other contestants, afraid to see the silent audience.

But at this moment, Gan Su saw that there were many people holding up their star signs and shouting their names.

"Gansu!"

"Gansu!!! Come on!!"

"Come on, come on! Fight for first place!"

Gan Su almost thought he was hallucinating.

He was so happy that his nose suddenly felt sore.

"I am a fan! I have fans!!!"

This usually taciturn boy had such a big emotional fluctuation for the first time. He almost danced with joy to share his joy with his companions around him.

The stage performance has not officially started yet, but the holographic structure is enough to allow all the contestants to appear in front of the audience.

An audience member holding a [Gansu] star sign was shouting along with the crowd. In fact, she had never watched the live broadcast many times. Some people like daily life, some people like big scenes, and she is the latter.

The reason why she wore the [Gansu] star card was just because she liked the design and the sparkle on it... One cent was clearly an official benefit, and she, who had spent hundreds of dollars on krypton gold, naturally would not miss such a good thing.

She called out a few times using the nickname [Laozi Shudaoshan] and was just wondering why it hadn't started yet when she saw the young man on the stage waving excitedly in her direction.

[Laozi Shudaoshan] was a little slow to react.

Look carefully... Yeah! This contestant named Gan Su is really looking at her and interacting with her.

He was trying so hard, afraid that the people who supported him below couldn't see it. He waved for a while and then bowed to express his gratitude, with a smile on his face full of pure joy.

[Laozi Shudao Mountain] Actually, she had no impression of Gan Su before this. She called Gan Su's name only because she saw others calling it and she wanted to fit in.

But at this moment, looking at the dazzling stage, the contestant on the star card in his hand looked over with disbelief and surprise, his eyes moistened with tears.

——[Laozi Shudaoshan] There was a strange soft feeling in his heart.

This feeling prompted her to raise her hands, which had already fallen, suddenly, and the dazzling star card flashed——

"Gansu!!! You're the best!!!"

At this moment, she admitted that Gan Su, the randomly selected contestant, seemed to be indeed good.

Well, okay, then I’ll just follow it briefly.

There are many viewers who have the same mental journey as Laozi Shudaoshan.

The 600 contestants of "Crossing the Sea of ​​Stars" did not have any expectations about the number of fans they would have before going on stage.

——A certain Ms. Sheng who did not want to reveal her name was unwilling to admit that she did it on purpose.

In short, without any expectations, the boys and girls saw a sea of ​​stars.

At this moment, the excitement in their hearts almost reached its peak.

Young people of this age can do anything when they are excited. There was even a contestant who either tripped or was too excited and knocked to the audience on the spot.

Although the "contestants wishing a happy new year in public" caused a lot of laughter.

However, a large number of viewers who originally came just to join in the fun were still somewhat surprised and received enthusiastic feedback from these good-looking boys and girls.

At this moment, the feelings in their hearts coincided perfectly.

——He|she needs me.

In this brief moment, when they received the contestants' unreserved responses, they truly established a connection with the contestants they "supported".

Enthusiasm is contagious, especially genuine enthusiasm.

The audience was immediately ignited with all their enthusiasm.

They raised the star signs in their hands with all their might and shouted the names on them loudly, as if they were real fans, expressing their support without reservation at this moment.

“Sweet! Sweet!!!”

“Go Go!!!”

"Ahhhhh Jisei, you can do it!!!"

There are 600 contestants, and each of them has his or her own fans, and their number is quite large.

This is impossible in other talent shows. There are always some "cannon fodder contestants" in every show. Their existence is to extend the length of the show and to set off other outstanding contestants.

The camera will not focus on them, the audience will not pay attention to them, and the most glorious moment is the tear at parting.

But [Guo Xinghai] completely overturned all previous audition models.

The atmosphere was no longer just about joining in the fun; everyone was immersed in it, and the shouts were so loud that they seemed to be able to lift the ceiling.

——If this ceiling is not modeled in the game.

Ji Shan was wearing a panda head and was standing on the second floor of the viewing platform, looking at everything below. He felt the chaos and was almost frightened.

Although he joined the program team midway, he did a good job and was not excluded by his colleagues because he had previously worked for the "enemy camp".

Therefore, he also got the opportunity to enter the holographic stage and watch.

Ji Shan originally came with the intention of learning and appreciating, and he guessed that a large number of spectators would flock in.

After all, it’s a holographic stage. Even if he hadn’t joined [Crossing the Star Sea], he would have bought a helmet and come in to watch.

But he didn't guess that [Guo Xinghai] could actually keep these audiences.

Yes, stay.

Not staying on the holographic stage, but staying on the talent show "Crossing the Star Sea".

Everyone in this industry knows that in the entertainment industry, everything is fake, except for data. As long as you have the data, you can have everything.

What is data? Clicks, playbacks, and more deeply, the audience below at the moment.

The audience is the most enthusiastic, but also the most ruthless. Most of them will not support any contestant when watching the show. Instead, they hold a God's perspective and watch each show indifferently.

Stay? Respond with enthusiasm? They have too many shows to watch. There are so many trees in the world, why hang on to one tree?

However, [Crossing the Sea of ​​Stars], with just one move [One-cent Star Card], has made most of the audience become attached to this program.

Even if they originally came just to watch the fun, when the holographic stage ends, these viewers who have already given their passion and feelings will most likely follow all the way to the live broadcast room and turn into layers of playback volume for [Crossing the Starry Sea].

Of course not 100% of the audience will do this, but as long as 30% do this, Xingmang wins.

And it’s a big win.

Ji Shan had a pair of dull panda eyes. He was terrified of such a big show because it was something he had never seen in his comfort zone.

This is a crushing, a naked crushing of the entire industry.

He felt relieved instantly when he remembered that he was now in the same camp as Xingmang.

Mr. Sheng...

[Guo Xing Hai] Only ten days after the show started, she has already created the pinnacle of talent shows.

What will she do next?

The dazed panda looked up into the sky, where a virtual image was gently waving its hand. It was clearly just a casual wave, but it instantly made the sky fall.

With the audience's exclamations and the sound gradually becoming quiet, it was unknown when only ten contestants were left on the stage.

——Bang!

The light shone on them.

The contestants must have been reminded that they would be the first to perform, so they were not stage-frightened at the moment. As the music started, they slowly began to move.

——Bang! ! The seemingly ordinary and gorgeous stage suddenly spread out, and extreme colors flew across from the bottom, as if they had life, disrupting and forming a dark theme that matched the stage theme of the first group of contestants.

"ah!!!"

“Oh my god!!”

Under the audience's surprised gaze, the stage actually flew up, and, just like stepping on the beat, with every heavy step of the contestants, the stage would fall or rise.

Ji Shan's panda eyes almost popped out, even though he already knew that the holographic stage would be completely different from the traditional stage.

But when he actually saw this extreme visual transformation, he was still amazed beyond words.

The soothing BGM suddenly became intense. These contestants with long legs and great looks stomped their legs heavily on the stage, but the stage suddenly turned upside down.

The climax part of this song is also the easiest part to sing. There will be no problem as long as you can hit the high notes.

The audience looked up, watching the contestants hanging upside down in the mirror image above and sang along:

——"1!2!3!! Let's watch the fireworks!!!!"

——Bang, bang, bang!!!

As the stage suddenly turned toward the front, brilliant fireworks unfolded from the back.

And they continued to sing under such fireworks, and almost every audience member saw it from the best perspective.

This magical picture that spans reality blends together, just like a dream, dreamlike, hazy and weird.

“Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!!”

The audience was completely excited! The stage began to change again. It was originally circular, but then it began to extend piece by piece, transforming into a road in the middle of the audience.

The contestants sang and danced as they passed in front of the audience, as if every audience member could reach them with just a stretch of their hand.

There was also a naughty contestant who was singing with a smile and stretching out his hand as if he wanted to interact with the audience.

"1!!! 2!!! 3!!!!!!"

The audience sang along so loudly that it almost completely drowned out the sound from the stage.

They were not singing in tune at all, and were even tone-deaf, but the passion in their voices almost reached the sky.

The last line of the lyrics was sung under such circumstances.

——"We watched the fireworks!!!"

All the contestants knelt on one knee in time with the rhythm, their eyes sparkling and breathing heavily.

--Bang!!!

——Bang, bang, bang!!!

Almost at the same time, fireworks were no longer just falling on the stage. In reality, the brilliant fireworks that could be set off above the dark audience seats required a large amount of money and a lot of space to be declared...

——It suddenly blossomed above the holographic stage without any scruples.

The first performance ended in such a stunning way.

Ji Shan's panda eyes were duller than before.

The first game, this is just the first game.

It's actually... like this...

Like all the spectators, he stared blankly at the fireworks display that was so beautiful that it could not appear in reality.

It's really beautiful.

It's also brilliant.

It was so bright that it illuminated the audience who looked up.

It also illuminated Mr. Sheng who was clapping in the guest seats.

And, illuminating the future of the entertainment industry——
