This area is close to the city center, so there were a lot of fans. The long red carpet was lined with people on both sides. Even the gradually darkening sky did not dampen their enthusiasm. They waved light boards and light sticks, looking expectantly at the group of people walking on the red carpet.
As an actor, Xiao He didn't plan on any fancy fashion looks or makeup, sticking to his classic black suit. However, Guo Xinya and Yuan Sitong, who were beside him, each had their own unique style. Their extravagant yet beautiful evening gowns instantly attracted a lot of attention, eliciting loud cheers from fans as they moved around.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xiao He also saw several familiar-looking young fans waving excitedly at him from the crowd behind him.
These fans belong to the group who failed to get tickets and couldn't go inside to watch the performance. In the end, they could only come here to take a look and watch their idols enter the venue up close.
But no matter what, the fans inside and outside the venue all come here with the same passion, rain or shine.
Xiao He smiled, then raised his hand and waved in that direction, unsurprisingly eliciting cheers and screams from the fans.
Soon, the group walked across the red carpet and returned to the dressing room inside the venue to begin preparing their stage makeup and costumes.
In the blink of an eye, it got completely dark.
The stage lights suddenly turned on, and various spotlights shone on the stage and the sky, illuminating the gray sky again. Fans who had entered early raised their light sticks and looked expectantly at the center of the stage, eagerly awaiting the appearance of their idols.
While Xiao He was getting his makeup done, he opened his phone and went into the official live stream on Tencent Video to watch the live broadcast. Basically, the evening's performance had already officially started by the time he finished his new makeup and styling.
Xiao He and the others, led by staff, arrived at their respective backstage waiting areas to wait.
At this moment, Xiao He was a little nervous, but after Liu Rulan walked to his side and introduced the guests in the audience one by one, he suddenly stopped being nervous.
"This is General Manager Song from Jiaxing Entertainment. As you know, we've already talked several times."
"Yes, I know."
"And this is...?"
"This is Mr. Tao, the general manager of Xingchen Entertainment. He's been riding high lately, turning Xingchen Entertainment's decline around with the marketing of the 'True Prince'. Now he's officially brought Xingchen Entertainment under his control. He even invited you to go racing a car a while ago, but you declined."
"Uh-huh."
"This is the manager of Taidong Entertainment; their family situation is rather complicated..."
"This is Producer Chen, a well-known investor in the industry..."
"Finally, there's Mr. Mi. He's currently the head of the Tencent Video platform. Our relationship with him has been pretty good in recent years. It would be best if we could maintain a friendly relationship with him. After all, we need to contact him a lot when it comes to broadcasting or releasing our works. If we have a good relationship, we can get more traffic and influence."
Xiao He was initially quite nervous, feeling like a primary school student about to give a presentation to the leader. However, after Liu Rulan introduced everyone sitting below to him one by one, Xiao He felt confident again.
He knows everyone here!
What's the point of being indecisive then?
"So, Brother Xiao, are you nervous about your first stage performance this time?"
At this moment, Xiao Chen also came over and asked with a grin.
"Much better." Xiao He patted his chest, then tapped Xiao Chen, "Make sure the photos below look good for me, I'll post them in the family group chat."
"Mission accomplished!"
Xiao Chen saluted in a playful manner.
Then Xiao He continued to ask Liu Rulan, "After the performance, shall I go sit over there for a while?"
"Well, we should try to coordinate a time for President Tao's invitation. You can discuss it with him in person."
People of the same age have more to talk about, and since Tao Zidong took over Xingchen Entertainment, he has always treated Xiao He very well. Faced with his invitation, Xiao He should at least go and socialize with him.
"no problem."
Since it was just a trip to have some fun and a chance to relax, Xiao He readily agreed.
So Liu Rulan took out her phone, checked it, and set a few dates for Xiao He so that they could make arrangements in advance.
"I see."
After the two finished speaking, the staff began to inform Xiao He to make preparations.
"Then I'll take Xiao Chen to the front."
"good."
Xiao He nodded, and then Liu Rulan led Xiao Chen away from backstage.
A few minutes later, as the love song ended, Xiao He and the others, as arranged, began to wait in the elevator...
-
Ahead, Liu Rulan led Xiao Chen to the seats they had chosen in advance and they sat down.
A few minutes later, the trailer for "Sumiya" was officially shown on the big screen.
Liu Rulan sat up slightly.
She knew the performance was about to begin—
As the two-minute trailer ended and the theme song began, the main cast of "Otoya" appeared one by one.
This is a song with a touch of sadness. It is not difficult for four people to sing together. When the clear female voice sang melodiously on the stage, the young man also raised his microphone.
The young man's voice was always on the cooler side. When he was serious, his voice would be lowered and had a magnetic quality, while when he was joking, his tone would rise slightly at the end because of his laughter, making it impossible to ignore his youth and vitality.
At this moment, he exuded a familiar languor, his voice husky yet full of emotion, like a cool breeze that ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) compels one to quiet down and listen attentively to his singing.
Under the lights, the young man in the shimmering sequined black suit exuded the aura of a dazzling superstar. Even sandwiched between two beautiful actresses, he was impossible to ignore, as if he was born to stand under the spotlight and shine brightly.
The agent in the audience smiled, his fingers tapping lightly on his knees in rhythm, his eyes reflecting the young man's figure, his chest filled with pride.
—Look, these are her family's artists.
It was a feeling of pride and joy, like "my son has grown up."
Witnessing a young man who, at first glance, exuded a somewhat wicked aura, now gradually walks onto the stage and radiates the brilliance of a superstar.
Who can resist pride?
Seemingly noticing the gazes directed at them, the young man on stage looked down at the audience below, his eyebrows curving slightly, exuding a calm confidence and a spirited arrogance.
Behind Liu Rulan came enthusiastic cheers from her fans.
Liu Rulan nodded slightly.
The young man shifted his gaze and waved in several other directions, once again eliciting cheers from the fans. His companions also followed suit, waving in the same direction, which triggered a wave of screams from the crowd.
now.
—Though he strayed into the Milky Way, he never failed to live up to the starlight.
