Showbiz: Why Mess with Him? He's Into Cutting-Edge Tech!

Su Nan wakes up to discover he has transmigrated into the life of the most miserable temp worker at the Chinese Academy of Sciences: a salary of 2,800 yuan, getting chewed out every day, and not even able to afford instant noodles in braised beef flavor. Then a [Black Technology Entertainment System] suddenly drops into his lap. All he has to do is show off in the entertainment industry to redeem cutting-edge technology!

But the moment he steps onstage, top-tier star and mentor Hua Chenyu mocks him: “You’re just here to grab some attention, aren’t you?” Su Nan fires back with the nuclear-grade song “Someone Like Me,” turning the judges’ panel into a fireworks display. That night’s trending topics: #TheManWhoTurnedATalentShowIntoATechLaunch# #DoesHuaChenyuHaveABruiseOnHisEgo#

From then on, both the research community and the entertainment industry go wild.

Director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: “Xiao Su, that guitar you played on the show yesterday... Was it made with a room-temperature superconductor?”

Yang Mi: “Su, that pepper spray you gave me last time... How did it end up hacking the Pentagon’s defense system?”

Fan: “Big brother, your new song is great! By the way, could that formula in the lyrics get published in SCI?”

When Su Nan pulls out a lithography machine blueprint on finals night, the State Security Bureau comes to take him for tea in the middle of the night. “Comrade Su, just tell us what technology you want next time. Could you stop scaring people in the entertainment industry?”
