Chapter 120 2/2

They don’t even need the program team to carefully introduce their own brands. They just need to show their brand logo when these items appear on camera.

For this small moment on camera, brands are willing to spend any amount of money, and countless brands are eager to do so.

Thinking about the large sums of money that are about to flow in, Sheng Quan is not only happy but also doesn’t forget to remind herself again:

“Remember to pay attention to appropriateness when signing contracts, especially for the water they drink. Only sign mineral water; don’t sign some strange sweet or salty drinks.”

Whether in this life or the previous one, every time she sees celebrities on TV drinking various types of drinks to advertise being thirsty during variety shows, she can’t help but think, wouldn’t that make them even thirstier?

For other people’s shows, she would just make a comment or two, but for her own show, she could allow herself some discretion.

“Alright, I’ll convey that.”

He Xi agreed, recorded the information, and then hurriedly left. As Sheng Quan’s chief assistant, her workload was approaching that of Guo Zhao.

Thinking of Guo Zhao, Sheng Quan looked at the man behind her, who was working diligently.

Xing Mang was like a whole, like a big toy for an event. When one component moved, the other components moved along with it. This led to the fact that when “Guo Xinghai,” the starting point that set everything in motion, began operating due to the holographic stage, other components of Xing Mang also started moving happily.

Every second of movement meant a large sum of money flowing in.

Although Guo Zhao looked like he was going crazy with work, Sheng Quan could see the joy and relaxation between his eyebrows and eyes. Obviously, he was immersed in the joy of climbing steadily in his career, and his beautiful face was radiant with a more charming appearance.

As for why there was an office desk in the rest area…

—

There were no office desks here originally, but when Guo Zhao came, they appeared.

Guo Zhao was a man who brought an office desk wherever he went.

Sheng Quan really wanted to say, “Since you came here to work and it’s more convenient to work at the headquarters, why stay on the program team?”

But thinking about the fact that she had personally invited him and that he was diligently working while she was enjoying the handsome men and beautiful women on the show, she wisely kept her mouth shut.

Sheng Dong felt that she should do something for President Guo, who came out to watch the show and still had to work.

So, she picked up a small spray bottle and watered the potted plant on Guo Zhao’s desk.

Obviously, Guo Zhao appreciated this move.

After noticing Sheng Quan watering his little plant, he looked at her and seemed somewhat pleased. He thanked her sincerely, “Thank you.”

Then he continued working.

Sheng Quan was used to it; carrying a cup of coffee, she left the rest area, and the tall man waiting for her at the door immediately followed.

“Let’s go; let’s go to the contestants’ area. They must be very excited as they are about to go on stage tonight.”

****

The contestants were getting nervous!

They knew that “Guo Xinghai” had a holographic stage, but like most viewers speculated, ninety-nine percent of the contestants believed that something as high-end as the holographic stage would only appear in the later stages of the show.

That is, after intense competition, only six people would remain from the initial six hundred; the six outstanding contestants selected through fierce competition, full of confidence and supported by numerous fans, would step onto the holographic stage.

But why did the production team play cards against common sense?

They had only been in the group for a few days, not even a full ten days, and they were already going on the holographic stage.

To be honest, most contestants were a bit overwhelmed.

They heard that the holographic stage was very expensive. If they messed up when they went on stage, what would they do?

Also, there would definitely be an audience on the stage. They had just entered the program group, and according to common sense, this was the time when the early stages of the program had the least viewership. The first recorded episode hadn’t even been broadcast yet.

Anyone familiar with talent shows knew that before the recorded episodes were aired, contestants without previous fame were basically in a state of anonymity.

Even contestants with existing fame couldn’t help but be nervous.

“If the recording hasn’t been broadcast, will there be an audience?”

Another contestant, uncertain, said, “Maybe? After all, it’s a holographic stage. If I were… I would like to watch the excitement.”

Yes, watch the excitement, not necessarily to support a particular contestant.

After all, following common sense, with such a short time in the group, the audience might not have even distinguished who was who among them.

Tu Zhu was also sitting with his roommates.

His three roommates didn’t try to drag Tu Zhu, who liked to hide in the corner, out into the open. Instead, they joined him in the corner.

It must be said that Tu Zhu, sitting alone in the corner, looked a bit pitiful. But when his three tall and robust roommates, with a healthy golden complexion and faces that screamed “health,” crowded into the corner with him, the scene became quite comical.

A tall and handsome guy with a tan, Jing Tian Gao, was also frowning.

“I’m so nervous just thinking about going on stage. What should I do? There’s supposed to be an interactive part when I dance. Originally, I thought it would be nice for you guys to interact below, but now it’s a holographic stage, and there are no real fans. What should I do?”

Meng Wei Zuo looked left and right and muttered quietly, “How about this? I have a holographic headset in the luggage compartment. Let’s quietly go and steal it. Then, when you guys are on stage, I’ll be down there pretending to interact with fans.”

Jing Tian Gao clapped his hands. “Good idea!”

Ming Qin hissed, “Keep your voices down. Don’t you know we’ve been filmed during the day? What if it’s broadcast?”

“No way.” Meng Wei did a sneaky left-right glance. “There are so many people, they probably won’t broadcast us. Tu Zhu, what do you think?”

Unable to resist being led astray by the three, Tu Zhu, who usually stayed quiet, looked around cautiously and whispered:

“But aren’t networked devices not allowed? Isn’t this against the rules? Also, do you guys know where the luggage compartment is?”

Three tall roommates: “No idea.”

Tu Zhu whispered again, “Moreover, I remember the luggage compartment requires a password to unlock, and we don’t have the password.”

Three tall roommates: “…”

【Hahaha!!!】

The barrage was filled with laughter.

【Conspiring loudly】

【Camera: Tell us more】

【Hilarious, stealing the helmet and pretending to be an audience, what a genius idea】

【They don’t know they already have a group name, right? Hahaha】

【Come on! The three Huskies and their Samoyed friend are quite a formidable group!】

Sheng Quan, watching the young boys and girls look troubled, couldn’t help but almost burst into laughter.

“Is the director live-streaming this? Tell the production team to broadcast all the scenes of these contestants whispering.”

“Yes, especially their concerns about not having an audience; broadcast them all.”

She knew too well the thought process of netizens.

After broadcasting these scenes, tonight’s holographic stage will definitely have some surprises.

The live feed had already switched to other contestants whispering.

On the big screen, Tu Zhu and his three roommates were still squatting in the corner.

One roommate comforted Tu Zhu, “You’re different; you have fans. There will surely be many people to support you.”

Tu Zhu, who was relaxing and chatting with them, stiffened upon hearing this.

After a while, he whispered, “I hope so.”

****

That night, the time had come.

With nervous hearts, the contestants stepped onto the stage.

Naturally, they weren’t dancing with helmets; instead, they used holographic technology to project the stage’s image into reality.

As soon as they went up, all the contestants were stunned.

Looking around, all they could see were people. or non-human forms.

After all, it was a game, and there were many audiences with various eccentric appearances. There was even an ant hopping up and down enthusiastically.

Although it seemed like a chaotic dance of demons, and there was some layering due to the large number of people, it didn’t affect their enthusiasm.

In the hands of most audiences were bright star cards, with each card displaying the name of a contestant prominently in the starry sea.

“Ah ah ah ah!”

“It’s here, it’s here!”

“Tu Zhu!!!”

“Woo woo woo woo, Lanhao, I love you!”

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

“Woo woo!!! Songling, look at me! You said you like furry things! I am a wolf, a lonely wolf from the north!”

“What furry are you? I’m a spider! Do you have fur on your legs like mine?”

The contestants, dumbfounded, looked at the seemingly endless audience, almost feeling like they were in a dream.

Didn’t we… just started broadcasting less than ten days ago!
