Chapter 1633: Chapter 1465: Radiance of Light Rain (Subscribe, Please!)

They hadn’t walked more than a few dozen meters.

They arrived at the dressing room.

A private one.

This was considered an important "standard" in the industry. Comet Group treated all of its artists equally. Generally, when they accepted commercial performances outside, they required organizers to provide this, regardless of the artist’s fame.

At the door.

Hu Li’s agent, Zhen Min, was talking on the phone.

"Alright, no problem. She’ll be back on the film set tomorrow afternoon."

Hu Li wasn’t a professional singer.

She just found time to come out for this.

"Sister Zhen," Hu Li called out.

Zhen Min responded with a few "mm-hmm"s, hung up the phone, and smiled as she asked, "Have you sorted things out with Uranus Liu?"

"Yes, I even saw the Chairman just now," Hu Li mentioned in passing.

What?

Zhen Min froze for a moment.

To call someone "Chairman."

It could only be their big boss—Tang Qing. It was likely too late to go now. Tang Qing didn’t like formalities and had an even stronger aversion to people who flatter others excessively. A sense of disappointment couldn’t help but creep into her heart.

She should’ve followed.

Missed the chance.

When it came to Tang Qing.

She felt overwhelming respect.

Not just for the Group’s artists.

Even for agents like herself, life was quite easy. There was no need to entertain with banquets, fake smiles, or forcing down wine to secure resources for the artists. Comet Group had access to resources equivalent to half of Huaxia’s entertainment circle.

Securing investments?

Unnecessary.

The Company annually approved nearly ten film projects, and even more TV series. They were all high-quality works, launching many artists to stardom. Subsequently, they were inundated with film offers—no need to rely on anyone.

Everything depended on capability.

If suitable, the Company would make arrangements.

Agents only had to ensure excellent service for their artists.

Perhaps the pay wasn’t higher than that of agents at other entertainment companies, but it was enough to lead a dignified and superior life. Without unethical dealings, there was no fear of waking in the middle of the night; Zhen Min was deeply content.

"You two go get your performance makeup done first."

"Alright."

With that.

The two went inside for makeup. Besides being Hu Li’s agent, Zhen Min also managed Che Yao—but only temporarily. Once nurtured to a certain level of fame, the Company would assign a dedicated agent.

Experienced mentoring the new.

A Group policy.

"Sister Qin, I’m counting on you." Sitting in place, Hu Li smiled.

"Sit tight."

A young, beautiful makeup artist chuckled.

Beyond the dressing room.

Even makeup artists were part of the Group’s configuration. Cosmetics were top-notch. Hu Li had gradually grown accustomed to the Group’s extravagant style; only a tycoon of Tang Qing’s caliber could achieve this.

When it came to unnecessary costs.

The Group never cut corners.

"I just heard you mention seeing the Chairman?" The makeup artist had sharp ears and caught it.

"Mm, along with Chairman Chai and General Manager Zheng."

"They came too?"

"Yes."

"Uranus Liu really carries weight." The Group’s major shareholders were all present—it was truly impressive. It was now widely circulated in the industry that back in the day, Uranus Liu had performed for free at Tang Qing’s Company annual meeting.

At that time, Tang Qing hadn’t been this wealthy.

Comet Group was still just tinkering with online videos. "Civilization One" hadn’t yet debuted, Qingyuan Technology and Microcrystalline Technology were entirely unknown, and QingYang Audio first appeared during that period.

And now?

Every venture carried hundreds of billions in market value.

Tang the Trillionaire.

Just thinking about it was intimidating.

That investment—Uranus Liu truly hit the jackpot.

...

Elsewhere.

After some chitchat.

Led by the assistant, Tang Qing and his team arrived at the VIP seats. By now, the venue was nearly full, and the performance was about 10 minutes away. Tang Qing’s arrival created quite a stir.

"Tang Qing?"

One voice exclaimed in surprise.

"What? Tang Qing?"

"Where?"

"Front row."

"It really is Tang Qing."

The news spread like waves.

Quickly engulfing the entire venue, the atmosphere became lively. While it was true that one could probably wait outside Fudan to catch him, nobody was idle enough to intentionally make the effort. But encountering him by chance was certainly thrilling.

No need for introductions.

Even rubbing shoulders with a little "good fortune" was enough.

"Haha, I really came at the right time today."

"Feels like walking straight up for a photo."

"Don’t. If you go, everyone else will follow. It won’t be your turn, and you’ll disrupt the order."

"True."

"I snapped one, but it’s kind of blurry. Oh well, might as well post it since there won’t be a group shot."

"..."

Amid the buzz.

The venue dimmed.

"It’s about to start."

In an instant.

On stage, the left and right sides erupted with countless blue points of light, forming "streams" that appeared to burst forth like a dam breaking. However, instead of flowing downward, the two streams split apart and circled within the venue, looping again and again.

"Holographic images can be used like this?"

"So stunning."

"The points of light are so vivid—without a hint of blurriness. Incredible."

"My family ordered a set; I wonder if it can achieve this effect."

"It should be able to."

"Absolutely gorgeous."

"..."

Amidst the exclamations.

The two streams formed a Taiji-like pattern, swirling around and growing smaller and smaller until, at the center of the venue, they suddenly shot upward. With a united burst, the crowd heard a resonant "Bang."

The streams transformed into countless starlike specks.

Rotating as if forming a galaxy—bright points dotting every part of the space.

It was breathtakingly beautiful.

"I’m enchanted."

"This alone makes the ticket worth it."

"Wow, I don’t even know how to describe this; can anyone suggest a word?"

"No time."

"How about this: ’I swear!’"

"You brat—take your words back."

"Brilliant."

"Yes, that’s the one."

"..."

Next.

Another moment thrilled the audience.

Countless specks of light fell like rain.

At the same time.

A crisp and melodious sound of chimes accompanied them.

When the light points landed amid the crowd, the audience couldn’t resist reaching out to touch them. "Ding!" Instantly, their minds filled with wind-chime tones. The blue specks of light then blossomed like fireworks, scattering into smaller specks.

Before disappearing altogether.

"Hiss..."

"It can perform like this?"

"Let me give it a try."

Everyone reached out to touch the floating specks near them, and each was met with the same luminous rain effect, which vanished eventually.

"I feel like ’Time’ is about to experience a surge in orders."

"It’s beyond words again."

"..."

The endless rain cascaded down; the specks of light bloomed before every spectator.

The audience was stunned by the display. While they knew holographic imagery was impressive—many had seen Tang Qing’s press conference—no one had imagined it could achieve such outstanding stage effects.

Simply magnificent.

Owning one at home.

Would mean seeing luminous rain every day.

Meanwhile, those watching the live broadcast were equally amazed.

"This had better not be post-production!"

"Definitely not."

"With the live reactions, try adding that yourself—where could you even find enough actors, let alone ones this realistic?"

"I wish I were there."

"Same here."

"I suddenly have an idea. ’Time’ obviously won’t come with preloaded effects; this means programming will be required. Developing effects for ’Time’ might become a new profession."

"Makes sense."

"No way."

"I’d like to learn."

Backstage.

Uranus Liu and the singers smiled broadly. Upon seeing the opening effects earlier, he, too, had felt mesmerized. They’d replayed it for an hour back then, yet it still wasn’t enough.

After the first breathtaking scene.

All the specks dispersed into nothingness.

When Uranus Liu stepped onto the stage.

A blue projection of Uranus Liu materialized before the audience, gigantic—true to immersive scale. Even the spectators in the very last row could clearly see his facial expressions, with virtually no delay between the effects and the live event.

"Thank you all for being here tonight. Before the performance, I want to once again express gratitude to Chairman Tang. He’s the one who brought our stage effects to an unprecedented level. As a token of appreciation, here’s a song titled ’Ice Rain.’"
