Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 104 The Birth of the Champion

Enlight Media has a lot of experience in entertainment programs.

Every year, dozens of large-scale events are launched, and there is a detailed process for stage setup, event planning, and so on.

"LeYu Search Star," a collaboration with Enlight Media, has reached its final stage after two months of competition.

The total number of applicants exceeded 500,000, and the process involved six rounds of selection and elimination.

Those who have made it this far either have outstanding looks or possess immense popularity.

The show has attracted the attention of countless netizens since the auditions began, and the voting for each round of advancement has put a considerable burden on the server.

The final competition was held at the Capital Indoor Stadium.

Entertainment.com has put in a lot of effort for this talent show, and offline promotion has never stopped.

For each selection, the number of people online at Leyu.com in real time can reach tens of millions.

"Is all the equipment ready and tested?"

Today's final will be live-streamed with text and images by Leyu.com, and we're sure to break the record for the highest number of viewers.

This presents another challenge for the website, technical staff, and servers.

"Don't worry, boss. The team has been preparing for this live stream for over a month."

Huang Jixin patted his chest and said, looking very confident.

"Okay, then it's up to you guys." Tian Xiaole nodded.

After checking the equipment, with some time to spare before the competition, we headed to the rest room.

Ning Hao and Wang Changtian were already waiting, enjoying fresh fruit and looking quite relaxed.

"Director Tian, ​​if you hadn't come soon, Director Ning would have eaten all the food by himself," Wang Changtian joked.

"Mr. Wang, you've eaten quite a bit too."

Ning Hao had an orange stuffed in his mouth, making it difficult for him to speak clearly.

"You two are quite relaxed, just waiting to make your appearance."

Tian Xiaole sat on the sofa, forked a piece of cut fruit, and popped it into her mouth.

"I didn't expect that holding this event online would have such a strong impact than holding it offline. In the future, we'll have to consider the online aspect for all the events that Enlight Media organizes," Wang Changtian remarked.

The news that Leyu.com had over 100 million registered users was pushed out across all its web platforms.

It is also the first website on the entire internet to have over 100 million users, and it has been reported by news media.

This has further boosted Leyu Search Star's popularity to a new level.

The events organized by Enlight Media generally focus more on offline activities and involve cooperation with television stations.

This online talent show has indeed opened up new avenues for Wang Changtian.

···
Players backstage.

Zhao Liying was very nervous and had gone to the toilet several times.

She, a girl from a rural area, never dared to dream of making it from the preliminary rounds to the finals.

I used to dream of becoming a flight attendant, but I had to give it up because of family difficulties.

After entering the workforce, I worked as a salesperson, waiter, and clerk, among other jobs, when I saw the advertising slogan for Leyu Search Star.

"You are the star!"
This gave her the courage to sign up for the event.

I never expected to make it all the way to the finals.

Besides having some acting talent, it wouldn't have been possible without the support of netizens.

She remains the most popular person in the world.

Zhao Liying took a deep breath and cheered herself up.

She glanced at the other people in the lounge; they all had their parents with them, while she was all alone.

···
At 6:00 p.m., Tian Xiaole, Ning Hao, and Wang Changtian, who were in charge of judging, came out and took their seats on the judging panel after being introduced by the two hosts.

The audience of over a thousand people, mostly fans of the finalists, gave them enthusiastic applause.

Unlike previous talent shows, this time the votes from netizens and the live audience will account for 60% of the total vote.

The jury comprises 40%.

The contestants made their entrance, introduced by the female host with an afro.

The acting group has ten people, and the model group has twelve people.

The top three teams from each group will be decided tonight.

There is only one spot available for signing with Xiaole Pictures, so the contestants must give their best and perform their prepared acts well.

Tian Xiaole noticed Zhao Liying; her face was very youthful and round.

Wearing a purple sleeveless top and simple jeans, he exuded a spirited and determined demeanor.

"This girl has a lot of talent," Ning Hao said softly.

"Compared to other contestants, she is indeed quite outstanding." Tian Xiaole nodded in agreement.

···
Each contestant took turns performing their three-minute talent show.

All Tian Xiaole could remember was Zhao Liying's performance of "Invisible Wings," which she sang completely off-key. Despite this, she still came in first place in the first round of both live and online voting.

In the subsequent script transcription and adaptation segment, Zhao Liying's performance was quite outstanding.

Zhu Dan, sporting an afro, routinely asked, "Judges, the contestant has finished performing. Do you have anything to say?"

Tian Xiaole picked up the topic: "This contestant number 10 speaks clearly and has strong expression skills. He should try to sing less in the future."

A burst of laughter erupted from the audience.

But a group of contestants interpreted this comment differently.

The seemingly joking tone had actually caught the attention of the renowned director, Tian Xiaole.

"Thank you, Director Tian. I am Zhao Liying from Langfang."

···
After two rounds of performances, the voting process began.

The online voting results are displayed in real time on a large screen.

Zhao Liying remains in first place, with a significant lead, while the second and third place teams are closely matched.

The voting ended in five minutes, and the results were in.

"Liying, according to the event rules, you are currently in first place and can choose any two companies to join."

Are you choosing Xiaole Pictures or Enlight Media?

After Zhu Dan finished speaking, he held the microphone to Zhao Liying's mouth.

"I choose Xiaole Pictures."

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Liying gave her answer directly.

Unless someone is completely out of their mind, they would choose Enlight Media, which has no film production business.

"Welcome to Xiaole Pictures," Tian Xiaole said, clapping her hands.

In the contestants' group chat, everyone was applauding and congratulating, their eyes filled with envy; one foot was already in the entertainment industry.

Yao Di, who came in second place, and the champion of the model group, signed with Enlight Media.

Tian Xiaole promised the top three teams from both groups that they would have the opportunity to play guest roles.

Thus, "Happy Entertainment Star Search" came to a perfect end, ending at midnight.

Backstage, Tian Xiaole took some time to meet with Zhao Liying.

"You can report to the company tomorrow."

"Thank you, Director Tian. I will be there on time."

"Yes, the company will prepare apartment dormitories for each artist. You can cancel your rented apartment and move in directly."

The benefits offered by Xiaole Pictures just solved Zhao Liying's current predicament.

She thought that she would still have to rent a house herself until she made money for the company.

All they could do was bow and express their gratitude, still reeling from the excitement of winning the championship.

I never expected that I would actually be able to join Xiaole Pictures.

The other contestants who hadn't left yet could only watch from afar, seeing how approachable Tian Xiaole was, and regretting that they weren't the champion.

···
Huang Jixin excitedly approached Tian Xiaole to report on the achievements of the evening.

At 8 p.m., the website had as many as 30 million concurrent users.

Ten million netizens participated in the comments and voting during the finals.

Keep in mind that with just over 100 million registered users and nearly a third of them online, that's an incredibly alarming number.

This also proves that there are many active users, not zombie users.

"The next task is to do everything possible to ensure retention. We must use innovative content to attract users to stay on Leyu.com," Tian Xiaole instructed.

Users attracted by the talent show will leave once the event ends, and that's when Leyu.com will truly be put to the test.

···
The next day, Zhao Liying arrived at Xiaole Film Industry to report for duty, looking around curiously at the company founded by a famous director in the entertainment industry.

"You must be Liying. My name is Yang Tianzhen. You can just call me Xiao Yang."

"Hello, Manager Yang."

Zhao Liying greeted people somewhat reservedly.

"Relax, the company atmosphere is great. Let me show you around first."

Xiaole Pictures posted a message on its official entertainment website account.

"Welcome Ms. Zhao Liying to the Xiaole Pictures family! Let's weather the storms and grow together in the future!"

This has had a significant impact on the entertainment industry.

Has this ordinary person really joined Xiaole Pictures?
She's so lucky!

Such expressions of envy are heard everywhere in the entertainment industry.

The entertainment media also reported on the grand spectacle of last night's talent show.

"In the first Leyu Star Search, Zhao Liying, who came from a rural background, won the championship with a staggering 30 million online votes." (Ten votes per person)
