This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 101 "Mr. 2500"

Instead of paying appearance fees based on the number of matches, they would make a list and write down the names of the people they want Xu Feng to defeat?
Although everything was spoken in Chinese, Feng Xiaoqiang felt that he could never imagine that Chinese characters could be arranged and combined in this way.

Everyone knows that you are a good singer, but you don’t need to ask them to just come up with a list and make it look like a murder scene.

Making a list and giving different quotes based on the degree of difficulty does feel a bit like that.

"Haha, Teacher Xu Feng is indeed... extraordinary." Feng Xiaoqiang laughed awkwardly, "If you must charge like this, it's not impossible."

In fact, although this charging plan sounds a bit abstract at first, Feng Xiaoqiang thought about it carefully and found that it is actually quite reasonable and meets the needs of their program team.

Because they invited Xu Feng to participate in the show, it felt like they were forced to do so.

Making a variety show is a commercial activity. The first is to earn sponsorship fees by increasing ratings; the second is to use the huge exposure of the show to make the featured singer popular on the Internet.

The ratings are high now, but the comment section is full of insults... The singer they are promoting is sick at this time, which can be said to be so unlucky that even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth.

They had no choice but to find a singer like Xu Feng who had no interest in any relationship with their program team to participate in the competition.

Since the singer we wanted to promote has to leave anyway, it would be better to just invite the best singer and at least save face.

Since Xu Feng dared to let them make a list, it meant that he was at least 70% sure that he could defeat all opponents on the stage.

Especially those foreign singers who have caused the program crew a lot of headaches. Their provocations on social platforms are also the reason for the anger of many people in the comment section.

They have been frying fish for so long, it’s time to let them feel the power of money!
When Xu Feng saw Feng Xiaoqiang's expression change from confusion to thoughtfulness, he knew that the other party was completely thinking about the problem along his lines.

"How about it? My payment method should be more flexible and more in line with your needs, right?"

Feng Xiaoqiang nodded slowly: "Teacher Xu Feng, Boss Cheng... Please wait a moment, I will call the chief planner and ask for his opinion!"

He quickly left the meeting room, walked to a nearby room, and made a phone call.

Cheng Luan's eyes curved: "Teacher Xu Feng, I just thought of a question."

You don't look like a boss at all, you look more like you're role-playing...

It’s hard to get people into work mode.

Xu Feng looked at Cheng Luan's uniform, muttered to himself, and said, "Ask."

"What if, what if?" Cheng Luan blinked, "What if Feng Xiaoqiang only gave you the best singers on his list?"

The variety show "Singer" is a mixed bag. The good ones are very good, and the bad ones are also very bad... What if Feng Xiaoqiang's list is full of strong ones and he forgot to include the weak ones?
Perhaps in the normal people's perception, since Xu Feng can easily suppress those powerful singers, it is not easy for him to beat those third- and fourth-tier singers who are just here to get a shot.

But Cheng Luan knew that if you didn't let Xu Feng do this, he might really not do it, and he would really dare to lose to you.

By then, Xu Feng, who had just finished competing with an international superstar in the Royal City, would be singing back and forth with an 18th-tier singer who was out of tune...

This picture...

Xu Feng took a sip of the tea on the table and said indifferently: "I am only responsible for completing the customer's commission."

really!

Cheng Luan was about to make a few more jokes when he saw Feng Xiaoqiang hanging up the phone not far away and rushing over here.

"Teacher Xu Feng, your idea is great. The chief planner likes it very much!"

Not only did the chief planner like it very much, he liked it too - if the appearance fee was paid according to the number of shows, Xu Feng would probably just perform well on the stage, but it would be mediocre.

How boring.

Anyway, their main singer has already left the show due to illness, so why not make the show a little more exciting and more explosive!

It’s time to put some pressure on those “victorious generals” on the field.

According to the competition system of "Singer", a contestant will not be eliminated by other starting singers present, so there is no need to worry about fairness issues.

Being defeated by Xu Feng will only affect their ranking among the current starting singers, and has nothing to do with whether they will be eliminated.

The starting singer will leave the stage only if he or she is successfully challenged by the backup singer who is trying to become the starting singer in the audience.

Compared to other strictly competitive music variety shows, "Singer" is more entertaining and provides a stage for showing off one's skills.

"Well, our staff over there are urgently drawing up a list. Can you wait for a moment?"

Xu Feng nodded: "Good things take time, I'm not in a hurry."

Feng Xiaoqiang contacted the staff of the program on his mobile phone and asked, "Teacher Xu Feng, if we have other needs later, can we add them?"

"No problem, you can just contact the company when the time comes." Xu Feng had already made the additional commission and agreed very readily.

"it is good!"

"..."

More than ten minutes later, the program team made a list and handed it to Xu Feng.

After taking a quick look at the list, Xu Feng laughed and said, "Director Feng, there are quite a few people on your death list!"

Not only does it include several singers currently on stage, but even several backup singers who have yet to appear are on the list.

It seems like the program crew is going to get a little ruthless this time.

That's right. Anyway, the singer they promoted left the stage, other Chinese singers were criticized by netizens for not having talent, and netizens hoped that someone would sanction other foreign singers. No matter who loses, it will not affect the reputation of the program team.

"Let me make this clear first. If these backup singers don't even make it to the stage in the end and I can't meet them on the variety show, it won't be considered my problem."

"Teacher Xu Feng, don't worry." Feng Xiaoqiang laughed, "We definitely understand this principle."

Xu Feng felt that there were no other questions, so he nodded: "Okay, we'll sign the contract later... By the way, how will I appear on stage then? Will I enter the reserve seat first, and then challenge any singer at random?"

If a singer who joins temporarily wants to go on stage, he must wait until the third round, successfully challenge a starting singer on the stage, and then take his place.

If I want to go on stage, should I also follow this process?
Which unlucky guy will be chosen to challenge then...

However, Feng Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "Teacher Xu Feng, our program is not a strict competition program. These rules are mainly for singers who apply to perform on their own initiative. The singers we invite internally do not necessarily need to strictly follow the rules."

"Because a singer on stage is sick and has to leave, we plan to let you, Teacher Xu Feng, take her place and perform directly on stage without going through the normal performance process."

Self-service application process...

Xu Feng couldn't help feeling a little emotional at this moment.

When the variety show "Singer" just started, Xu Feng only showed his abilities slightly on other occasions and was at most a little famous.

Of course, many people @ him on social platforms at that time, asking him to participate in "Singer", a variety show that claims to have singers from all over the world.

At that time, if Xu Feng wanted to participate in a variety show, he had to go through the self-service application channel, first take a basic singing level test, then pay a sum of money to get a reserve seat, and wait for the third round to have a chance to challenge the starting singer.

If you succeed, you can enter the game. If you fail, you will naturally leave the game. After showing your strength, everyone's attitude has changed subtly.

If Xu Feng himself was not talented, his singing was not good, and his lyrics were terrible, the public opinion about him now would probably be something like "You have no talent but you are so arrogant", "You charge money for doing things, I don't want any money even if you give me money", etc.

Saying nothing at all on social platforms will also become a black spot for attack.

But now, those former haters can only complain in the comment section of other stars.

Most people felt that Xu Feng's behavior was very unique, and began to spontaneously make up for Xu Feng's abstract behavior and attack the haters in the comment section.

Not operating a social media account has also changed the mentality of "not paying attention to fans" to "focusing on creation and having no time to purify and crystallize fan circles."

There is no need to hire internet trolls or do any operations. Just one concert changed the public opinion direction a lot.

However... doing so requires sustained strength to support it.

In comparison, it is obviously easier and more stable to use marketing to purify the audience and cultivate top-level leeks who will mindlessly defend their own brother and buy into any rubbish he produces.

Who can guarantee that a person will always be at the peak of his creativity, always have inspiration, and never make mistakes?

Even if it is really possible, who can guarantee that he will not slack off after he has money?

The cost of cultivating a top star is so high, how can his commercial value be damaged because of such things?
Rather than asking celebrities to do these unrealistic things and rely entirely on hard power to maintain their own commercial value, it is obviously easier to cut leeks from fans.

Even if this will cause a lot of passers-by fans to hate it.

But...a healthy entertainment ecosystem shouldn't be like this.

You get paid according to your effort; you get the corresponding honor according to your ability. This is only natural.

This is also why, even without marketing and even if there are many competitors maliciously smearing them, talented players like Xu Feng and Lin Shenghuan still have a good reputation online.

As Xu Feng was thinking, he had almost scanned the names on the list. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll see how to quote for this list."

There are too many names on the “death list”, and they are too diverse, including singers of varying levels from home and abroad. The temporary abilities needed to defeat singers of different strengths will be different, so the quotations will naturally be different.

Xu Feng opened the system and, according to the data given above, filled in the corresponding numbers behind each name on the list one by one.

If this wasn't a contract signing scene that might involve commercial secrets that couldn't be disclosed, Feng Xiaoqiang would even want to take a photo.

so weird!
Write the corresponding price after each name...

Is this the King of Hell writing the book of life and death?

Two minutes later, Xu Feng handed the list of quotations back to Feng Xiaoqiang and said, "That's about it. Director Feng, can you take a look and see if there are any questions?"

After taking the list and looking at it, Feng Xiaoqiang's eyes froze a little.

It’s not that I have any opinion on Xu Feng’s offer…

But if this offer were released, it would probably cause an uproar on the Internet.

Needless to say, the better the performance of those singers, the higher the bid. Even the best one among them, the price of beating him has reached 70 per time!
Xu Feng's quotation is indeed ranked entirely according to strength, not fame.

But what is most abstract is not the price of beating these masters.

But the price is to beat those singers who are famous but not very talented.

For example, to defeat the singer Yu Chen, Xu Feng only needed 2500 yuan in his quotation.

Yes, 2500 yuan...

If Yu Chen's fanatical fans knew that their brother, who they had hyped up as the leader of the new generation, a creative and experimental singer, and whose "invincible singing skills" were only worth a little over 2,000 yuan to Xu Feng, the hot searches would probably explode twice.

Xu Feng's pitiful Weibo updates may have to accommodate countless comments that curse him.

But Feng Xiaoqiang knew that Xu Feng was serious... He really thought that defeating Yu Chen was worth 2500 yuan, and he was not targeting anyone.

Feng Xiaoqiang wiped his sweat, skipped Mr. 2,500, and pointed to the name with the highest bid: "This one, 700,000 per time, isn't the price a little high?"

"His strength is worth that much." Xu Feng shrugged. "In other words, this price is used to buy my performance. I think his performance is worth 65, so I quoted 70."

"Just like I thought Yu Chen was acting like an idiot, so I gave him such a low price."

"If you want to bargain, I can't guarantee whether I can beat them in the end. I get what I pay for."

Anyway, 90% will be taken away by the system, so Xu Feng really doesn't care that much about the fluctuation of tens of thousands of dollars.

But if the money is not enough, the temporary capacity provided by the system will not be enough.

It’s not that he doesn’t give discounts, it’s just that the system is too stingy.

Feng Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we still believe in Teacher Xu Feng's ability, so let's set the price!"

Thinking about the scene at Lin Shenghuan's concert, Feng Xiaoqiang still believed Xu Feng's promise.

70 million is 70 million!
you get what you pay for!

Compared to the program's precarious reputation, this amount of money is nothing.

"Then let's sign the contract." Cheng Luan, who had been watching the whole process, finally spoke up. "Happy cooperation."

"I look forward to Mr. Xu Feng's performance! We have already decided on the time, and there will be no conflict with "Make Money, Star"!"

To be honest, when Cheng Luan saw the number 2500, he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

The decision to start her own company to chase stars was indeed the right one! If she hadn't started the company, she might never have seen the specific contents of this contract in her life.

Seeing that the deal had been done, Xu Feng took out his mobile phone and logged into his social account.
