This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 11 I won’t listen

The tense emotions were released at once, and Xu Feng slept until noon the next day.

After waking up, Xu Feng picked up his mobile phone and took a look. As expected, there was a whole page of missed calls.

WeChat also has an additional friend request.

Why is it that I am not anxious but the other party is?
Xu Feng washed up slowly before accepting the friend request.

Almost at the same second, the other party sent a long string of messages. It was obvious that he had been sitting in front of the phone waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Xu Feng, I'm so sorry! Yesterday, the temporary worker didn't explain things clearly, which caused you to misunderstand."

After Xu Feng coldly and ruthlessly refused to pay the money yesterday, the internal staff of the "God of Tomorrow's Singer" program team held an unprecedented emergency internal meeting.

This is not because they are weak, but because Xu Feng's commercial acumen is so strong that if he can be signed, the benefits to the company will be self-evident.

He is a young man with great talent. He has just defeated other contestants and he is also good-looking. It’s okay for him to be a little arrogant.

The judges on the stage are more or less aware of things like taking money privately, but most of them are not participants.

There have been precedents in the past where judges almost fell out with the program production team because of such incidents, which led to the elimination of their favorite students.

It would be bad for everyone if we made too much of a fuss.

After an emergency discussion all night, the program crew made an unprecedented decision to make a major concession - Xu Feng had to take first place and he didn't have to pay the money. As long as he could come here to sign the agency contract, everything would be fine.

Xu Feng, wearing a nightgown, confirmed that there were no hidden dangers in the copyright of "Ugly Monsters" and then leisurely sent a message to the other party: "It's okay, I have withdrawn from the competition."

This “it’s okay” is more like the sarcasm of a policeman when he sees a criminal, “it’s okay, I’m a policeman” rather than true forgiveness.

The variety show staff, who had been waiting for a whole morning, gave a cold face, suppressed the urge to smash the phone, and explained again: "Xu Feng, we said yesterday that the operating expenses were high, just to show you our sincerity, and there was no other intention."

How come this person can't understand either good or bad words?
How many people cannot buy resources like this even if they have money, and now they are given to them for free, and you still want to bargain without knowing what is good for you?
If he hadn't been afraid of screenshots being posted and bringing negative public opinion to the program, he would have put on the airs of a senior and started scolding people.

Xu Feng held the phone in one hand and typed a line of words casually: "I am not bargaining, nor am I discussing with you. I am just stating a fact - I, Xu Feng, have withdrawn from the competition."

It doesn't matter whether he gets paid or not, what the production team thinks, or what the audience thinks. He quit the competition just because he has completed everything he wanted to do, and it has nothing to do with anything else.

The man on the other side was obviously at his wit's end. Seeing that the other party would not fall for his trick no matter what he said, he finally took off the disguise that he had put on reluctantly: "Xu Feng... you are indeed very talented, but good wine needs a bush. No matter how good a book is, it can't be sold without a bookstore. Do you understand this truth?"

What is the entertainment industry?
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the circle with the most muddy waters.

When encountering talented people, the bosses' first reaction is to poach them and squeeze out their economic value; their second reaction is to do everything they can to suppress them if they can't get them. They must never let their opponents get them.

If I can't use it, I'd rather destroy it.

All kinds of obstacles, all kinds of negative rumors, all kinds of dirty water, and all kinds of accusations will be thrown at a person before he or she has grown up. He or she will be forced to leave before his or her talent can blossom and bear fruit.

The market is so big and the resources are so limited. If you take one more bite, I will take one less bite. It would be strange if I don’t try my best to suppress you.

This kind of suppression can be fatal for a singer when he or she has no momentum, no core fans, and no solid works.

Unless the artist is strong enough to produce excellent works continuously without resources, popularity, or help from anyone, and can still perfectly display his or her inspiration and talent, and become the "resource" itself.

There are many people who think they have this talent, but looking back over the past few decades, you can count these people on one hand, and the closer you get to modern times, the fewer there are.

How easy is it for one person to fight against countless teams supported by money?

Under the systematic oppression, the program team believed that Xu Feng would eventually give in. It was nothing more than making some concessions, and these concessions actually came at the expense of the sheep.

However, Xu Feng, who had completely changed his mindset, didn't respond at all. He threw the empty Coke can into the trash can and started typing with both hands: "I will announce the fact that I have withdrawn from the competition on my personal accounts on all major social platforms. Then, don't contact me anymore. I'm very busy."

After saying this, he directly added the other party's WeChat account and mobile phone to the blacklist.

Of course Xu Feng was aware of the threats from the program team, but he didn't care at all.

Throwing dirty water? Putting accusations?
As a mercenary, Xu Feng is only responsible for the employment project of his employer. Other things are not within his consideration. In other words, he is just a group of "idle people".

After putting the outsiders on the blacklist, Xu Feng took out his mobile phone, registered a personal account on major platforms such as Bilibili and Weibo, and submitted an application for certification.

"Due to personal reasons, I have decided to withdraw from this "God of Tomorrow" competition."

It was just such a simple sentence, but after it was sent, it disappeared like a drop in the ocean without making any splash at all.

But Xu Feng didn't care. He had no intention of operating his own social account. Sending the notification was just a process. After sending it, he would switch back to his personal account. It was unclear whether he would post updates in the future.

"Okay, we've finished all the chores. Now let's put the live version of the song on various platforms and wait for the revenue to arrive." Xu Feng took out the remote control and turned down the air conditioner by two degrees. "Although 90% of the income has been taken, considering the quality of this song, the remaining 10% is enough for daily expenses."

"Three years of closure, three years of profit after opening, this is what being a mercenary is like... Don't mention it, it's pretty cool!"

At this moment, Xu Feng’s WeChat received several messages in succession within a few seconds.

Before he could open the message bar, he saw the other party simply dialed the voice call directly.

Seeing the familiar profile picture, Xu Feng smiled and pressed the answer button. Lin Shenghuan's familiar voice came over him: "Xu Feng, I heard that you withdrew from the competition? Is it true?!"

There was a rare hint of suppressed anger in her voice.

Of course, this anger was not directed at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was somewhat grateful to this kind-hearted singer, so he didn't intend to hide it: "It's true, but Sister Huan, listen to me first..."

After getting the exact answer, Lin Shenghuan tried not to let his anger show in his voice: "Xu Feng, don't be impulsive. Wait, I will help you get an explanation."

How dare they! Xu Feng performed so well in the top 8, and the production team dared to be so blatant!

Lin Shenghuan is very optimistic about Xu Feng, but that is limited to giving him a chance. Xu Feng has to fight for everything else on his own. In no way can he be considered her direct descendant.

But now Xu Feng has won it on his own, but an accident happened due to off-field factors!
Of course she was angry, and of course she had to stand up for her students.

Xu Feng rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Sister Huan, please listen to me first."

"I won't listen!"

Lin Shenghuan became even angrier. This was a huge incident, so why hadn't Xu Feng realized the seriousness of it?

The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is, right?
