Interstellar Travel: Becoming a Dress-Up Game Designer

Chapter 194

Don't underestimate the fact that only a little over a hundred people didn't show up; the remaining seven hundred or so are more than enough to fill the seats.

In the live stream, even a single empty seat looks jarring and can dampen the otherwise lively atmosphere. It's like black paper and white paint: when the paper is completely black, black is the most striking color; but if a white dot appears, it becomes the most noticeable. With over a hundred seats missing, the frequent empty spaces make the otherwise vibrant show feel cold and lacking in energy.

The audience will naturally wonder, "Why is nobody here?"

Is Qingfengyi's runway walk this season not going well?

Is Qingfengyi no longer popular?

.......

At first, these kinds of comments were minor and had little impact, but they planted a seed in people's hearts. This seed gradually grew into thorns, and when the breeze finally carried them away, the thorns became towering vines, binding their feet and diminishing their soaring power...

Lin Shuying will not allow this to happen.

Soon, the guests were seated. This cleared up a lot of space at the back, making it easier for Xia Chunqi and her team to film. Xia Chunqi now had two young assistants working under her, and she moved the control panel behind the guests for easier observation of the entire scene. The filming staff were new and unfamiliar with Qingfengyi's filming requirements, so they might not be able to find the right angles. Previously, being backstage and unable to see the front made directing them difficult, but now it was much easier.

The event's stage was located on the second floor of two villas, connected by a skybridge. The skybridge was very spacious, surrounded by numerous artificial peach trees with lush blossoms. The surrounding area was filled with light screens and various adjustable special effects lights. Only the central lights were on as guests entered, illuminating a long, glittering path adorned with flashing peonies, dragons, and phoenixes, creating a magnificent and opulent spectacle.

The designers of StarCraft had never seen such a magnificent scene before; they couldn't take their eyes off it. What's even more impressive is that every single frame is different—it must have taken hundreds of design drafts!

Although there are now AI-powered systems to assist in the evolution, and so many design drafts have been approved, Qingfengyi's design drafts are not evolved from AI-powered systems. Instead, they are complete and unique, ensuring that the audience doesn't get bored and that every glance is full of novelty.

After everyone was seated, the lights in the center suddenly went out, plunging the world into darkness. Then, a camellia blossom drifted down, landing on the dark ground and creating ripples of deep blue water. The ripples spread outwards, carrying countless camellia blossoms back with them. The surrounding giant peach trees began to glow from their roots, and peach blossoms bloomed one by one. A gentle breeze blew, and countless peach petals fell, mingling with the camellia blossoms. Some even drifted onto the guests' shoulders, carrying a faint fragrance. The camellia's fragrance was the most intense, with the peach blossoms appearing and disappearing in the air.

If you reach out and touch the flowers and petals, they will suddenly transform into shy fairies who exclaim "Oops!" and disappear in bursts of petal fireworks.

Xia Chunqi quickly instructed the camera crew to give the shot a close-up; the classic scene had to be broadcast live. This is the advantage of manual filming—the angle, focus, and content can be adjusted at any time, which is less convenient with a smart filming ball. Although current smart filming balls can connect with the brain's neural pathways, requiring only thought, they are very convenient.

However, there is a huge gap between brain thought and actual action. Brainwaves travel incredibly fast, covering thousands of miles in a single second. Using brainwaves to control a camera ball can lead to discrepancies between intelligent data processing and brainwave activity. To address this, the camera ball repeatedly checks certain brainwave patterns, executing only the strongest ones. This, however, presents another problem: the intensity of brainwaves is unpredictable when the brain is thinking or controlling something.

The interstellar era is different from Lin Shuying's previous life. Here, brain connections don't require conscious thought about specific things; instead, they allow for direct thought...

In short, the AI ​​is very convenient for shooting fixed scenes or following shots, but it is slightly inferior in terms of detail processing.

The live stream camera was focused on the guests present, capturing every detail of their actions.

The invitation had already informed the guests that there would be occasional live streams featuring close-ups of them, so everyone was prepared to be well-groomed. These designers, eager to have the cameras constantly on them, quickly composed themselves after their initial shock and focused intently on what was happening ahead.

Qingfengyi really knows how to have fun; the scene was so flashy and extravagant that it didn't resemble a fashion show at all.

The audience was also captivated by the beautiful and dreamlike special effects.

"Ahhh, I feel like my eyes can't take it all in! Waaaaah! Qingfengyi's runway show this time is just too dreamy!"

"My mecha grand marshal is a combination of camellia and peach blossom, both of which are my favorite flowers!"

"I also love camellias, and it's really wonderful that I used camellia instead of wild camellia."

.......

As the audience's comments subsided, the special effects vanished, leaving not a single petal behind. The central stage lit up with a soft blue-white light, which then gradually faded into darkness. All around was pitch black, except for two guests whose chairs were white and surrounded by light. Perhaps they suffered from claustrophobia or nyctophobia, a fear of the dark.

At this point, some viewers who had just seen the hype die down looked at the comments with confusion, saying, "Where's the fantasy? It's nowhere near as good as Barbie Fashion next door."

They were watching a fashion show next door, and it was absolutely amazing. The moment the princess appeared, the beautiful dresses, clothes, and bags were all dazzling. And the princess herself was gorgeous, with shimmering, multicolored hair.

Gold is everyone's favorite color, especially bright gold, which is shiny and sparkly. Paired with big eyes, it makes you want to marry her and worship her.

Some players who love the style of Qingfengyi were unhappy, saying, "What kind of taste do you have? Isn't this dreamlike enough? Show us videos and pictures. Bring it on!"

"I watch Barbie Fashion too. It's a bit dreamy, and the beauties in it are really pretty, but it can't compare to Qingfengyi, right?"

"Haha, the dummy was compared to the real person, and the dummy won."

As the players argued, light footsteps sounded. At the edge of the darkness, a curtain adorned with peony blossoms appeared, and a beautiful woman peeked out. Her eyes and brows were captivating, a sight that could last a lifetime!

Delicate, arched eyebrows, red lips, and eyes shimmering with spring-like light. What I saw just now was not merely peach blossom or tea-colored; this is true beauty.

The beauty glanced outside, and the camera panned to her. Seeing only darkness, she seemed somewhat relieved. She completely lifted the curtain, holding a red camellia embroidered fan, its ribs strung with pearls, gleaming with jewels. This was complemented by a butterfly, pearl, and gemstone hairpin and a hair ornament that swayed gently as she moved.

Camellias shimmered beneath her feet as she walked, her light green robe exuding elegance and grace. Her blue embroidered shoes peeked out slightly as she moved forward with small, quick steps.

The moves were taught by Lin Shuying backstage; she's an old friend who's been here several times, so we're very familiar with each other.

Viewers were surprised to see this person appear; he's a well-known star in interstellar entertainment, having acted in numerous interstellar war dramas. He even made an appearance in one of them, depicting humanity's early arrival in interstellar space, which explains his large fanbase.

Unfortunately, the acting was poor at the time, and the plot was awkward, so it didn't become a true masterpiece, but rather a masterpiece in a derogatory sense.

The realism of interstellar media is that it doesn't allow any media to act recklessly, and it certainly doesn't allow exaggerated or false propaganda or nonsense from marketing accounts. Although this might have been seen as a lack of freedom of speech in Lin Shuying's previous life, freedom of speech is not about spreading rumors or believing everything you hear, but about being factual and speaking with evidence.

Lin Shuying quite liked this point. People in the interstellar community understood very well that freedom of speech and the right to oversight were rare weapons and rights for ordinary people, and they must not be allowed to become something that the wealthy could manipulate. Therefore, everyone consciously upheld the truth of speech; only the truth could eradicate all the monsters and demons.

While short-term gains may seem appealing, they come at the cost of power and weapons.

Only a fool would do that.

When Lin Shuying first heard this, she was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. In her past life, people would have flocked to the scene, exaggerating and saying whatever came to mind. They wouldn't care about the truth or evidence; as long as the bloodshed was palatable, they would go all out to kill. They wouldn't care whether the victims were themselves or their descendants.

"What does it have to do with me!" becomes the supreme reason, but little do they know that if everyone thinks this way, is there any truth left in public opinion?

Thinking back to the time when the entire internet was flooded with fake crosses and nines, I can only shake my head helplessly.

The development of the times is always like this; the passage of time not only crushes the essence of civilization but also its dregs.

This celebrity went on to star in several TV dramas featuring characters wearing spray-painted outfits, some of which were quite popular, accumulating a large fan base. Soon, viewers flocked to her fan groups and account to leave messages, attracting a massive influx of new followers. The live stream's viewership skyrocketed, surpassing all other live streams.

Many streamers had no choice but to switch to rebroadcasting.

The broadcast includes commentary and chat. Many people enjoy listening to the commentator's explanations and conversations, resulting in good viewership for the broadcasts.

"My sister looks like an immortal in Qingfengyi's clothes! I think she's the only Chang'e in real life!"

"Ahhh, it's so beautiful! I want to order this dress!"

"Ahhh, upstairs, this outfit was designed by a designer named Shen Liuyun from Qingfengyi. Everyone, please check the clothing information released by Qingfengyi's official website in real time. In ten minutes, ten exclusive spots for this designer will be released, each costing only 800,000 interstellar coins!"

"Ugh, upstairs, your text is too long, it's taking up my time! I'm going to snatch it right now!"

"I'm going to get all my friends and family involved in this!"

"Qingfengyi is so stingy, so incredibly stingy! There are so many people in the interstellar space, and she only released ten. Who is she trying to humiliate?"

"I agree with the previous point, that's too stingy. Didn't you see that the audience numbers are in the hundreds of millions? And they only released ten!"

.......

Viewers fiercely criticized Qingfengyi for being stingy and even went to her account to leave negative reviews. Zhang Zhongxia had seen countless instances of negative reviews surging, and each time it happened, she was startled.

They quickly came to Lin Shuying to explain the situation. Lin Shuying looked at everyone's comments, which were mostly positive reviews with negative ones.

She laughed and said, "Don't worry about it. We've already produced over three hundred garments today. What more do you want?"

With over thirty employees all pitching in, each taking on ten orders, that's quite impressive. Of course, there are fifty employees in total, many of whom were recruited from Qingfengyi Games. However, many are newcomers and haven't yet been able to design anything that would satisfy Lin Shuying.
