Translator: Zayn_
After the fashion show, Song Qingyou continued to focus on filming.
Due to her amazing performance on her previous drama, more and more people began to look forward to the broadcast of “The Empress.”
The number of followers on the drama’s official Weibo account had also increased from a few hundred thousand to more than a million.
Lin Siya even complained while chatting, “As long as Qingyou is here, why do 1 feel that the production team doesn’t need to spend much money on publicity?”
Her guess was right.
‘The Immortal Demon’ had only invested a small amount of money into its promotion, but it still managed to get on the hot search every now and then.
Song Qingyou smiled but didn’t say anything.
She couldn’t possibly say that she seemed to attract more hatred than anyone else, and that there would always be someone who wanted to drag her down with them, right?
Two days later, in Auditorium A.
As the top university in the country, A University was also among the best in the world.
Therefore, every press conference held in Auditorium A would always attract relevant experts and scholars from all over the world, as well as media reporters.
This time was no exception.
Everyone wanted to know the extent of A University’s research on holographic technology.
The most excited ones were the domestic media.
The press conference hadn’t even started yet, but things had already started warming up.
#Virtual Reality Technology Conference# dominated the headlines.
Anyone who had fantasized about the emergence of holographic games and used VR would pay attention to it.
When the time was up, Qin Xiuyuan walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone.
Most of them were staring at the people behind him, wondering which one was Song Qingyou.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed because after Qin Xiuyuan greeted them, he explained, “First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone on behalf of Professor Song Qingyou. Because Professor Song suddenly fell ill and was bedridden and couldn’t attend the press conference, so I can only present it on her behalf.”
Everyone knew that this holographic technology was based on Song Qingyou’s papers, and she was the main person in charge of this project.
So they were disappointed that Song Qingyou wasn’t there.
Who asked this mysterious professor to not show their face yet?
However, when Qin Xiuyuan announced that the virtual reality helmet they were researching could simulate sight, hearing, smell, and taste, the venue instantly erupted.
Some reporters were even more amazed after experiencing it. They would definitely be able to play a holographic game in their lifetime!
Qin Xiuyuan smiled. “This day won’t be too far away, because we’re already researching the gaming pod, and holographic technology will first be fully applied in games, live broadcasts and other fields.”
The reason why the gaming field was chosen as the first was actually because Song Qingyou had carefully considered it.
This was because virtual reality technology was of great importance. It could be used in various fields, be it education, medical care, military, or even aerospace…
Therefore, some of the more advanced technologies could not be made public.
Before that, Song Qingyou had already handed over the relevant technology to the country.
After the press conference, countless large companies and even countries requested cooperation, but they were all rejected.
A few days later, the news that A University’s Virtual Reality Technology Laboratory would consider cooperating with the Jiangyuan Group became the headline.
At the set of “The Empress”.
During the break, many people were watching today’s press conference.
After thinking about the projection technology on Song Qingyou’s runway, many people were secretly guessing if ‘Professor Song’ was the Song Qingyou they knew.
After all, Song Qingyou had displayed a lot of “skills” in Man vs. Wild 3, and her acting and dancing skills were even more impressive. Her fans always said that she was “all-rounded.”
Under such circumstances, it seemed that it wasn’t surprising for Song Qingyou to light up the ‘computer’ skill tree, right?
However, after hearing Qin Xiuyuan say that Professor Song was bedridden, everyone stopped guessing.
Everyone still subconsciously believed that one person couldn’t do so much.
Besides, Song Qingyou spent most of her time filming, so she didn’t have the time to make a virtual reality helmet!
It wasn’t just the production team who thought so, Song Qingyou’s fans thought so too.
Moreover, the public was very wary of celebrities being compared to scientific researchers. Fans had tried their best to keep a low profile during this period of time.
After Kyushu’s fashion show, Shen Xiyan seemed to be unable to swallow her anger. She had already moved to the big screen, but for the first time, she took on a TV series.
The genre was the same as “The Empress”, both were political dramas.
Moreover, she was also playing the female lead role.
The other main characters were all A-list celebrities from the Time Media Company under the Shen Corporation. The second female lead, the first male lead, and the second male lead were all in the top 20 on the celebrity rankings.
This political drama that had an investment of hundreds of millions and had a particularly luxurious lineup exploded in popularity once it was publicized. The media immediately thought of “The Empress”, which had already started filming.
Comparing the two, most people still thought that Shen Xiyan’s “Chang’an Elegance” would be better.
The reason was that, besides the investment and lineup of “Chang’an Elegance” being more impressive, the director of this drama was Huang Shan, who had once set a ratings record for a drama about power struggles.
Moreover, many people believed that half of the success of “The Immortal Demon” was due to the special effects.
And a political historical drama didn’t need special effects!
[“Chang’an Elegance” has started shooting in a low-key manner. The investment and lineup completely surpass “The Empress”]
[ Director Huang is back. “Chang’an Elegance” is worth looking forward to!]
[“Chang’an Elegance” has crushed “The Empress” in all aspects. Even Lin Siya can’t turn the tide!]
[Once “Chang An Elegance” is released, Shengshi Entertainment’s first TV series will be doomed to a bad start! ]
[ Shengshi is about to face a huge loss. Where should we go from here?]
With so many media outlets joining in the fun, the fans and supporters of the two dramas did not stop for a single day. There were even voting activities on various forums to decide which side to support.
The two sides fought openly and covertly until the beginning of March.
At this moment, the commotion caused by virtual reality technology had completely subsided.
Song Qingyou had already sent the opening chapter of her new book to Wen Xia.
The new book was not “The Empress” but the sequel to “Gate of the Tower”, titled “City of Machinery”.
After reading it, Wen Xia concluded that the new book would be even more popular than “Gate of the Tower” and decided to increase Song Qingyou’s share of the remuneration.
Of course, Song Qingyou was happy to earn more money.
However, the problem was that Wen Xia was rushing for the manuscript every day…
As an author, which one of them didn’t procrastinate?
Even if she didn’t delay it in the past, she would delay it in the future!
Thus, Song Qingyou once again ignored her editor.
The reason was that she still had to film!
In fact, the filming of ‘The Empress’ was nearing its end.
In the past few days, Song Qingyou didn’t have any scenes.
It was at this time that Wei Zhengrong contacted Song Qingyou.
As the director of Man vs. Wild, he could tell that Jiayi Media didn’t care about Song Qingyou and didn’t think that Chen Lan was a reliable manager.
So after the show was filmed, he deliberately saved Song Qingyou’s number.
“Director Wei, long time no see.”
“It has been a long time.”
Wei Zhengrong sighed and continued, “Man vs. Wild 4 has finished filming. But it’s a pity that it only stayed popular for a little while during broadcast. The subsequent guests were not good enough. With your performance in the third season as a comparison, the audience could no longer stay interested.”
Song Qingyou raised an eyebrow.
“So, Director Wei is here to ask me to participate in the fifth season?”
“But to be honest, I don’t want to participate in the same type of show a second time..”
