"Are you going back to Xiaoyuan's house or staying somewhere else?"

"Go back to Xiaoyuan's house."

"Oh, Xiaoyuan is a good child. If you want to treat her badly, no one in the community can spare you."

"No, we are not..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we understand. She has no parents since childhood and is very dependent on mature men. Perhaps it is precisely this reason that she picked you up.

You are 26, she is 17, although it is not illegal, it is not good to live like this. This way, there is an empty house in your building, and the owner is in the city, and it has been vacant. Let me tell you, you can live first, and then find a job... I really want to live together, at least until she is 18 years old."

OK!

Zhuang Zhou stayed at the rescue station for five days.

I was injected with an injection, which mainly depends on whether he has mental problems, diseases or drug addiction, and then he has a psychological model, whether he has a violent tendency, etc.

He quickly regained his freedom when he was following the route of a friend of the elderly, but the bracelet was still worn and he had to wear it until he got his ID card. According to Lao Wu, it would take about a few months to half a year.

When A Yuan went out to work, he carried the washbasin towel he had picked up and came to the room introduced by Lao Wu.

On the seventh floor, I smelled bad when I entered, and there were furniture and other things, but no one cleaned it for a long time. Zhuang Zhou was so sad that I had three houses in 2021 and a fresh food supermarket, which was too miserable in 2049.

There is no way, just sort it out.

It took a day to clean up, and A Yuan also came to the evening and laughed as soon as he entered the door: "You finally moved out! You have to rely on yourself in the future, and I don't have to provide you with food!"

"I think beautifully, give me the key."

"what?"

"Go to your house to surf the Internet, at most I will come back to stay at night."

"You still depend on me?"

"That's my bedroom, and I've thought of a way to help you make money."

As soon as he mentioned making money, A Yuan's eyes bulging, and the two returned to her house. Zhuang Zhou opened a promotional advertisement online and said, "Let's go and participate in this."

"Supernova Contest? Are you crazy?"

"Why are you crazy? The first place has a prize of one million! Based on my research on this world, the first place is not sure to guarantee the first place, but as long as you get the top ten, you will have 200,000 yuan, which is not better than you picking up rags?"

The Supernova Competition is a very popular singing competition here, covering all age groups, and has been held for ten years. It is a regular newcomer debut stage.

The so-called newcomer refers to virtual stars.

Every year, there are five competitions in total and end in August. There are a large number of newcomers participating in each session, most of which are popular in January and disappear next month.

A Yuan felt it was unreliable and said, "Where did you get the confidence? You asked that Taoist priest to compete?"

"No, it's this one."

Zhuang Zhou opened a video on his phone, and there was a woman singing inside. A Yuan frowned: "It doesn't look beautiful, it's ordinary."

"We have works, do you remember what I said before?"

"The contradiction between the scarcity of excellent works and the number of celebrities too many?"

"Not bad! I have a world of works to support you!"

It is true that the singer Zhuang Zhou chose is not as good as those virtual stars in appearance, but we need to understand the relationship between the stars and the works.

For example, Joey Wong.

If you haven't watched her movies and see a real person directly, you won't feel any extra. At most, you can say: Wow, beauty!

But if you have watched "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Green Snake", and "The Invincible Storm in the East" and see me again, you will: Wow! It's Lao Wang, a great beauty!

Why can’t we remember the new generation of stars?

Just because I don't have this feeling.

Of course, it does not mean that stars are useless. Stars and works complement each other.

Moreover, Zhuang Zhou deeply analyzed the entertainment development context here: from the five or six years of war to the three or four years of restoration of order after the war, it was a special period of nearly ten years. Since then, technology has developed rapidly, virtual stars shining brightly and quickly become the mainstream.

The public is crazy about this technology, intoxicated by the industry, booming in the industry, impetuous and worshipping money, and capital is omnipresent, even better than the real world.

But society ignores a group, that is, the group of people who have experienced and grown up in wars and after the war are now middle-aged and elderly.

They are not a new generation, they have pain in their hearts, but the world changes too quickly and no one can comfort them.

Zhuang Zhou felt that these people looked very much like those born in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Born, grew up, went to college, worked, and faced with increasingly fierce competition and technological development. One, two, three people were born in a flash and they were middle-aged. When they were breathing, they suddenly looked up:

How did this world become like this?

I lean toward young, and I am disliked; I lean toward old, but I am considered young, and I am not next to each other...

Zhuang Zhou’s main focus is this group, and they need comfort.

…………

"I signed up!"

"I really signed up?"

"One hundred dollars!"

A Yuan paid another fifty yuan and signed up for the fifth episode of "Super Nova Contest".

"Don't you say today is the first game? Where can I see it?"

"There are two versions, the normal version and the VR version. VR requires identity authentication, so you black user can't use it."

She took out a half-new VR glasses, a pair of gloves equipped with a finger tracker, and raised her eyebrows.

whispering sound!

Zhuang Zhou had to hold the computer and was depressed. The show started at 8 pm.

It seems no different from the 2021 competition. It is a big stage with three real judges below.

One is named Qin Lang, the songwriter, the other is named Yao Shuwen, the music producer, and the other is a woman named Han Yu, a famous designer, who specializes in designing virtual people.

But there was no audience behind the judges' seat, only a large light curtain, with rows of seats on it, and virtual people were all virtual images of the audience.

"A Yuan, can you hear it? You compare the gesture, let me see which one is you!"

He patted the little girl next to him. The VR glasses covered her face with her big face, only her lips exposed, and without answering, she drew a circle with her right hand.

He stared at the screen, and sure enough, he saw a little round-faced girl in a row and reached out to draw a circle.

The atmosphere in the venue was noisy, but Zhuang Zhou always felt strange. The dense crowds of virtual audiences seemed to be endless... You know they were fake, but they were real, as if they were from another world, staring at the contestants on the stage.

The first contestant appeared on the stage, and after a glance, the holographic projection visible to the naked eye appeared on the stage.

"Damn it! It's okay if it's not human?"

That was a furry, cute bear!

Producers usually do not go to the stage, hide behind the scenes, wear equipment, which is similar to acting as double acts. When virtual stars are not smart enough, for example, if the judge asks a complex question, the producer can answer "soul possession".

A few brief introductions, this bear sings. Zhuang Zhou covered his ears directly, what the hell is it?

"Dong...duang...duang..."

A strange voice suddenly sounded, and Qin Lang interrupted directly: "A waste of time, next one!"

"Judges teacher! Judges teacher, give me another chance!"

The bear cried and refused to leave. The technicians on the scene operated and brushed it again. The bear actually flew up and headed straight to the camera, pia was stuck on the screen.

This is obviously a special effect, and it is specially for the audience to watch, so it is definitely not the case.

“…”

Zhuang Zhou looked at this scene and suddenly felt that the show was a little interesting.

Each contestant appears, from a few minutes to a few seconds. There is a large screen next to the stage, which displays the number of likes of each person in real time. The rules are particularly simple: one episode of the program every week, the champion who gives the most likes in a week is the champion, and the champion of the year is the champion.

Zhuang Zhou watched it for more than an hour and thought it was OK, so he turned off the live broadcast.

How do you say the quality of works in this world?

Of course there are good works, but the overall environment has become hot and the food has collapsed.

Just like in 2021, if thousands of newcomers debut every day, even if this song is a piece of shit, it will be snatched up and whoever is going to break up!

He became more and more confident, and he was circling around the room, suddenly swinging his fists.

"What are you doing?" A Yuan took off her glasses.

“I’m in the second quarter.”

"ah?"

Zhuang Zhou turned around and opened his arms: "Comrades, let's have a Renaissance!"

(Not yet!)
Chapter completed!
