Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

All nine people were stunned.

Su Xiaoran was also stunned.

The Bird's Nest?!

That stage, capable of holding nearly 100,000 spectators, and considered by countless top-tier domestic and international stars as the ultimate milestone in their careers?!

they?

μ's?

An anime voice actor group?

They're going to hold a concert there?!

"I've already had someone move the project proposal forward, and we're in the initial stages of scheduling discussions."

"Of course, that's on the premise that—"

Yang Qian looked at everyone and said, "Can you put on a performance worthy of that stage?"

"The voice acting for the second season, the new songs, the brand new, more complex and glamorous dances, and most importantly—"

"The absolute strength and infectiousness of their live performances."

After saying that, Yang Qian didn't linger. He nodded to Su Xiaoran and left the conference room.

The meeting room door closed gently.

The nine people remained seated.

It was as if I was frozen in place.

"Was I...was I hallucinating just now?"

Nitta Emi muttered, pinching her thigh, "It doesn't hurt... It really was a dream..."

"Ouch—! You pinched my leg!"

Mimori Suzuko screamed and slapped Nitta Emi on the arm.

"It hurts! It hurts! This isn't a dream?!"

Nitta Emi covered her arm, but her eyes widened even more.

"Bird...bird's nest..." Aya Uchida covered her mouth, her eyes instantly turning red.

"The Bird's Nest concert...the nine of us..." Riho Iida also felt her legs go weak.

"Snapped!"

Nitta Emi slammed her hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and her face was no longer filled with any smile.

"Wake up, all of you!"

She glanced at the other eight people, "Teacher A-Guang has put his words to this point, pointing the stage over there!"

She took a deep breath, as if she were possessed by the true captain Honoka, and began to issue commands.

"Starting today, no, starting from this moment!"

"Everyone must eat, live, and train together! We need to recapture that sense of unity we had in the first season!"

"Dance training, double the intensity! Vocal practice, at least six hours a day! Voice acting, you must be 200% focused!"

"Put aside all irrelevant personal matters and business activities, and focus entirely on season two and... the Bird's Nest!"

Aya Uchida raised her hand with some concern.

"Captain... if we have intensive closed training..."

"Accommodation, meals, training facilities, teacher fees... it will be very expensive, our budget..."

Su Xiaoran, who had been standing to the side, finally spoke.

"Director Yang has explained all the training expenses related to the second season and the accompanying concert."

"Your accommodation, meals, and teachers will all be covered by a special company account, with no upper limit."

"The goal is to reach the highest standard."

All nine people turned to look at her.

The eldest sister has spoken.

"Then... what about my cats and dogs?"

Pile asked tentatively.

Nitta Emi waved her hand dismissively: "Bring it all! Find a pet-friendly apartment near the company and rent it! Pay the fees separately!"

She looked at the others.

"Does anyone have any more questions?"

No one speaks.

Everyone knows that this might be their only chance in this lifetime.

Bird's Nest.

That was a dream.

A dream they had never dared to dream.

Now, someone is telling them—

This dream can come true.

Nitta Emi took a deep breath.

"That's settled then."

"Training starts tomorrow."

"Whoever is late has to buy the whole team milk tea."

"I want a large bubble tea."

"I want mango pomelo sago."

"I want taro paste with boba."

"Can't you guys be serious for once?!"

"cannot."

Outside.

Yang Qian stood in the corridor, listening to the conversation in the conference room.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Not bad."

He said softly.

These girls were more energetic than he had imagined.

Su Xiaoran gently closed the door and came out, standing beside him: "Director Yang, the Bird's Nest... isn't this putting too much pressure on us? And the cost..."

Yang Qian smiled.

"When have I ever joked?"

"Pressure can be a motivator. As for the costs... the sales of merchandise, digital album revenue, and subsequent offline event revenue from the first season of LoveLive were much higher than you imagine."

"Enough to support a high-standard second season and an ambitious concert project."

He looked out the window at the azure sky.

"Besides, don't you think that bringing a group of girls striving for their dreams onto that biggest stage is a wonderful story in itself?"

"This is not only for μ's, but also for all fans who believe in 'dreams', a grandest gift."

Su Xiaoran nodded. "I understand."

"Then I'll keep an eye on their progress."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Su Xiaoran turned around and went back to the conference room.

Yang Qian stood alone in the corridor.

He recalled the time when he had just signed these nine people.

At that time, they were all relatively unknown new voice actresses.

It was my first time recording, and I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak properly.

The first time they went on stage, they huddled together backstage, encouraging each other.

It was the first time I'd ever seen someone in the audience holding up a light stick, crying as they sang their last song.

Now, they're going to the Bird's Nest.

He smiled.

"Those four from K-On!"

He muttered to himself.

"Let's talk about it during summer vacation."

"High school students should focus on their studies first."

at the same time.

In a classroom at the No. 1 High School in City A.

Hirasawa Yui lay on the table, staring blankly at the sky outside the window.

The teacher is explaining a math problem at the top of the classroom.

She didn't hear a single word.

I am bored.

Exams are so annoying.

When will we get a holiday...?

"Ah, school's finally over! I'm alive again!"

She let out a weak sigh, stuffed a few potato chips into her mouth, and mumbled indistinctly.

"Snacks... I really want to eat the cream puffs and matcha daifuku from the Land of Light Cafeteria... Azusa is definitely sneaking some at the company again..."

Just as she was planning to go back to the Land of Light tomorrow to freeload,

The phone screen, which I had casually placed aside, suddenly lit up, and several notifications popped up in succession, indicating that I was particularly interested in the message.

"Um?"

Wei lazily reached out and touched his phone.
