The Journey to Godhood in Another World

After a long and exhausting day of classes, Luo Li dragged her heavy steps into her dormitory.

The key points of knowledge taught by the teacher kept echoing in her mind, like a computer trying to organize data and classify and store this valuable information one by one.

At this moment, Hu Xike, who had been lying listlessly on the bed, suddenly seemed to be injected with vitality and instantly became energetic.

She sat up abruptly, causing the bed to shake slightly.

"Ah Li, do you have any new songs suitable for me?" Hu Xike's voice was filled with urgency and anticipation, her eyes brimming with longing. "My aunt said she wants to find a suitable program for me and Senior Jinchen so we can officially debut, but suitable music variety shows are incredibly rare. I don't know when I'll be able to realize my dream. If this continues, without releasing any new songs, I'm afraid I'll really be forgotten by everyone!"

As she spoke, she tightly hugged Luo Li's arm with both hands and shook it vigorously, looking exactly like a child begging for candy, pleading, "Ah Li, you can't bear to see me so sad and upset, can you?"

Luo Li was taken aback by her sudden action, but upon hearing the topic of debuting, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you two debuting together?"

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes sparkling with doubt.

Hu Xike sighed softly, her shoulders slumping slightly, and said helplessly, "It's not certain. It depends on what kind of shows you can find. As you know, variety shows have been getting worse and worse in recent years, and music shows are even rarer. It's incredibly difficult to debut in this environment! Last month, the two people that Huaxi promoted with your song made it into the top ten of the new talent chart, but they still received very few gigs. Not to mention the others."

As she spoke, she stared blankly at the dormitory ceiling, as if she saw the many obstacles on her path to stardom reflected there.

After listening, Luo Li pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had come up with a brilliant idea.

She said excitedly, "I do have some ideas for a show. How about we ask Sister Hui if we can record our own music variety show?"

Her speech quickened unconsciously, her face beaming with excitement. "However, there's still one problem: even if we record it, finding a broadcasting channel is still a huge challenge!" A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Hu Xike laughed nonchalantly. She patted her chest and said confidently, "Broadcast channels are easy to find. Just ask my uncle. My uncle is the director of Shanghai TV Station!"

A proud smile spread across her face, as if all problems could be solved as long as her uncle was there.

"Then what are we waiting for!" Luo Li said impatiently, her eyes filled with determination and resolve. "Let's contact Sister Hui and discuss it to see if it's feasible."

The next day happened to be Saturday, and there were no professional classes. Luo Li and Hu Xike went to Song Hui's office at Huaxi Entertainment together.

Along the way, Hu Xike chattered incessantly like a cheerful little bird, sometimes guessing how Song Hui would react, and sometimes dreaming about the wonderful future she would have after her debut. Luo Li, on the other hand, listened quietly with a smile on her face.

Upon arriving at the office, Song Hui happened to have a meeting, so Luo Li and Hu Xike waited patiently inside.

Hu Xike looked around the office, sometimes commenting on the artwork on the wall, sometimes curiously fiddling with the small ornaments on the table.

Luo Li sat quietly on the sofa, her hands crossed on her lap, her eyes slightly closed, constantly recalling and refining the plan for the variety show.

Finally, Song Hui returned from her meeting. She walked into the office, saw Luo Li and Hu Xike, paused slightly, then smiled and asked, "What brings you two here? Is something wrong?"

Luo Li stood up, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "Sister Hui, I have an idea for a variety show that I'd like to share with you." Her voice was steady and confident, and her eyes were fixed on Song Hui.

Next, Luo Li began to explain in detail the competition rules and participation methods of "The Voice of China".

As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, trying to make Song Hui and Hu hope understand more intuitively.

"The biggest highlight of this show is that it doesn't focus on looks, but only on voice. The contestants go through a blind audition process, allowing the mentors to choose their students solely based on their voices. This will truly uncover those talented voices who may not be conventionally attractive, which should really resonate with the public."

Luo Li's eyes sparkled, as if she could already see the wildly popular scene after the show aired.

Song Hui and Hu Xike listened quietly, their expressions of surprise growing stronger.

Song Hui opened her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with surprise and admiration. She couldn't help but secretly admire Luo Li's novel and unique idea.

Hu Xike's eyes widened, and she exclaimed "Wow!" every now and then. She said excitedly, "Ah Li, your idea is amazing! If we can really make a show like this, it will definitely be a huge hit!"

Song Hui nodded slightly, already calculating in her mind the many benefits this program would bring to Huaxi Entertainment.

She believes that this idea can not only bring new development opportunities to the company, but also inject a lot of fresh blood and discover more potential new talents.

With that thought in mind, she no longer hesitated and decisively dialed the phone number of Hu Xike's uncle, Hu Guangsen.

"Hello, big brother, this is Song Hui." Song Hui's voice was friendly and polite, with a smile on her face. "It's like this, I have a really good variety show idea here, and I'd like to discuss it with you to see if we can collaborate..."

She explained Luo Li's idea to Hu Guangsen in detail, her eyes filled with anticipation.

As Hu Guangsen listened quietly to Song Hui's description over the phone, an undisguised excitement gradually appeared on his face.

Shanghai TV stations have consistently underperformed in the variety show field in recent years, with their ratings hovering precariously in the middle to lower ranks.

This made him feel ashamed in front of his peers. The mocking glances from other TV station directors were like thorns, deeply embedded in his heart.

However, the variety show idea that Song Hui mentioned at that moment was like a lightning bolt that pierced through the darkness, giving him a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

"How about we meet for lunch at Yunding near the TV station? I'll bring our program director to meet with you there, and we can discuss things in more detail then. What do you say?"

Hu Guangsen tried his best to make his voice sound calm, but his slightly faster speaking speed still betrayed his inner urgency.

“Okay, see you at noon!” Song Hui replied readily, her voice carrying a hint of anticipation.

After hanging up the phone, Song Hui immediately dialed the number for Yunding Restaurant. "Hello, I'd like to reserve a private room, yes, for lunch... Okay, thank you."

After reserving the private room, Song Hui quickly sent the room information to Hu Guangsen, then turned to Luo Li and Hu Xike with an excited smile on her face, "Girls, get ready, we're off to see Director Hu now."

As the largest chain restaurant company in Shanghai, Yunding Restaurant enjoys a very high reputation in the city.

Each Yunding Restaurant is located in a bustling area with high foot traffic, like a dazzling pearl in the city.

Upon arriving at the Yunding Restaurant, its magnificent golden exterior immediately comes into view. Sunlight, like a golden veil, gently spills onto the restaurant's exterior walls, refracting a dazzling light.

The fountain at the entrance is like a joyful dancer; under the sunlight, the water droplets shimmer with colorful light, like dreamlike crystals falling to earth.

As you enter the restaurant, soft music flows gently through the air like a babbling brook, its melodious tunes seemingly telling romantic stories.

A faint floral fragrance lingers around the nose, almost imperceptible, giving one a dreamlike feeling.

The restaurant's interior is lavishly decorated, with dazzling crystal chandeliers that cast a soft glow like stars in the night sky. Exquisite tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and the tableware gleams silvery-white under the lights, creating an atmosphere of elegance and comfort.

Song Hui led Luo Li and Hu Xike to the private room. The three of them sat in the room, feeling both nervous and full of anticipation.

Not long after, the door to the private room was gently pushed open, and a handsome middle-aged man entered first.

His features were as deep as a mysterious canyon. He wore glasses, and the eyes behind the lenses were like bottomless pools, as if gazing at all the mysteries of the world. His gaze revealed a kind of profundity and focus, as if he could see through appearances and reach the essence of things.

His eyebrows were thick and well-shaped, like two sharp swords, giving him a heroic and imposing look, much like an ancient swordsman wandering the world.

His facial features were so clearly defined, as if carved by a knife, with strong facial lines, and every part of him exuded the charm of a mature man.

He nodded slightly, a simple yet powerful gesture, which served as a greeting.

Judging from his overall demeanor, he exudes a calm and reserved aura, with the composure of a mature man. This must be the program director of Shanghai TV station.

Then, Hu Guangsen walked in. He had delicate features, and his hair was short and neat, each strand of which looked as if it had been carefully combed, making him appear capable and efficient, seemingly silently telling the story of his rigor and self-discipline.

Thick and well-shaped eyebrows, like two steadfast city walls, give people the feeling that they can calmly deal with any difficulties.

His eyes were bright and piercing, his gaze fixed firmly ahead, as if everything in his world was under his control, revealing a sense of composure and confidence.

A straight nose with strong lines, like a majestic mountain peak, adds three-dimensionality to the face, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by a master sculptor.

With tightly closed lips and distinct lines, he gives an impression of being reserved and composed.

Judging from his demeanor, he wore a black suit with a white shirt, and his overall look was simple, elegant, and very graceful.

His posture was casual yet elegant, with one hand casually in his pocket and the other hanging naturally at his sides, exuding a composed and mature masculine charm.

The colorful striped decorations in the background of the private room contrasted with his calm demeanor, further highlighting his composure and confidence.

With a friendly smile, Hu Guangsen said, "Song Hui, what's that idea you mentioned? Tell us the details."

Song Hui smiled and nodded, then looked at Luo Li, signaling her to begin her introduction. Luo Li took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and began to explain the concept behind "The Voice of China" in detail.

"Director Hu, the main purpose of 'The Voice of China' is to discover those good voices that have real singing ability but may be buried due to factors such as appearance."

Luo Li's eyes shone with confidence, and her voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the private room.

"In terms of the competition format, we adopt a blind audition method. At this stage, the mentors can only hear the contestants' voices and cannot see their appearance."

This ensures that mentors select their students purely based on their voices, avoiding interference from factors such as appearance.

As Luo Li spoke, she gestured with her hands, trying to make them understand more intuitively.

“We expect this show to generate a great response from the audience after it airs. This way of judging solely by voice is very novel in the current variety show market. Audiences have seen too many shows that only focus on appearance, so they will definitely be very interested in a show that truly focuses on talent.”

Luo Li spoke at a moderate pace, and every word was clearly heard by everyone present.

Hu Guangsen and the program director listened attentively, their eyes fixed on Luo Li. They would occasionally exchange glances and nod slightly to show their approval of what Luo Li was saying.

After a moment of contemplation, the program director said, "This blind selection method is indeed very novel, and it is a major highlight of the program."

However, we must carefully consider the selection of mentors. The mentor lineup is crucial to the show's impact.

Hu Xike quickly replied, "That's no problem. We can find some big names in the music industry to be mentors. For example, someone like Sister Shiyin. She holds a very important position in the music industry and has great vision. If we can invite her, it will definitely attract many talented contestants to participate."

Hu Xike's eyes sparkled, her face beamed with excitement, and she unconsciously quickened her pace of speech.

"Yes, Ke Shiyin is indeed a good choice, but we also need to consider the pairing with other mentors to form a mentor team that is both professionally competent and has a high level of public interest."

The program director nodded slightly, stroking his chin in thought.

Song Hui also joined the discussion: "Besides the mentors, we also need to put effort into the selection of contestants."

We need to do a good job of promoting the show beforehand so that more talented people know about it, which will ensure that we have enough high-quality contestants.

"Yes, and in terms of program segment design, in addition to the blind auditions, the subsequent competition segments should also have enough highlights. For example, some team battles and individual elimination rounds can be set up to increase the tension and entertainment value of the program."

Hu Guangsen added that his eyes sparkled with anticipation for the show.

As the discussion deepened, the atmosphere in the private room became increasingly lively.

Everyone was immersed in planning and designing the variety show, and all sorts of creative ideas and concepts kept popping up like sparks.

Their voices rose and fell, some arguing fiercely about the feasibility of a certain aspect, while others excitedly offered new ideas.

In this entertainment world full of opportunities and challenges, their creativity is like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating the way forward. And they are embarking on this unknown journey of variety shows with hope and courage.
