This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 173 I can't wait

Looking at Xu Feng talking nonstop with the microphone in his hand, the angry mentors had a short brain circuit.

You come up and directly talk about your own problems? !
And he is very serious, the kind who is analyzing the problem?
Even if it's the same criticism, the feeling of hearing it from yourself and hearing it from someone else are completely different in terms of how damaging it is.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with Xu Feng’s song itself, it is very nice.

It just shouldn’t be chosen for students.

The situation is quite different from that of those two traffic stars.

Once he has finished pointing out all the problems with the song selection, what else can anyone else say?
Xu Feng didn't even look at the others, and continued to smile: "This is my first time as a mentor, and I didn't consider the reality, but fortunately, at least the performance was completed without any major mistakes."

"Like I said just now, in this variety show, the mentors have a huge influence on the final result."

"Take on your own responsibilities instead of pushing them all onto the students. I think this is what the mentors in this variety show should do."

"..."

Zhuo Zixuan was dumbfounded when he heard Xu Feng use the same insults he had just used on him, almost just changing the words.

Now that you have finished speaking, what should I say next?
And what does that last sentence mean?
My goodness, as a mentor, I made a bad song selection and you scolded me; as a mentor, you made a mistake in song selection and you scolded me too. You, Xu Feng, get all the good things, right?

The most important thing is that Zhuo Zixuan found that he seemed to have no room to fight back.

Because Xu Feng frankly admitted that there was a problem with his song selection, but Zhuo Zixuan initially threw the responsibility onto the students.

If he had known this would happen, he might have just gritted his teeth and taken some of the responsibility.

But their group was the first to appear on stage, and Zhuo Zixuan didn't have the ability to predict the future, so how could he have known that there would be a mentor as amazing as Xu Feng who would mess up the rhythm of the entire variety show?
In the past, where would a music variety show instructor say that the students had their own reasons for not performing well? !

Xu Feng is really harming others without benefiting himself!

After Xu Feng finished his speech, Bai Yao took over the microphone and helped the students carefully analyze their performance problems from a theoretical perspective.

From a true technical perspective, every mistake made by each student and areas for improvement were explained from beginning to end.

It is completely different from the previous mentors’ dry venting of emotions, simple accusations or sarcasm.

The audience and other instructors were a little confused by what they saw.

One is truly reflecting on the responsibilities of a mentor, and the other is truly teaching? !

By the time the two mentors on the stage finished their speeches, more than ten minutes had passed.

After the two of them finished speaking, when it was the other mentors' turn, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

One of them took a large part of the problem on himself, while the other one explained the student's part of the problem clearly.

The only space left for others was to vent their emotions...but the students in the stands seemed to have been mentally prepared and there was no possibility of them being scolded and crying.

Zhuo Zixuan, who was full of anger and ready to fight back, felt like he was punching the air.

In the end, he could only briefly criticize the students and ended his speech.

After all the tutors finished their evaluation, the final grades of Xu Feng's group were: 1 person got A, a few got BD, and the majority got C.

There is a mechanism to remove the highest and lowest scores, so the evaluation is still objective.

After all the groups had performed, Xu Feng's group ranked in the middle among all the groups.

It’s actually much better than expected.

Surprisingly, many strange things happened in other groups as well... After all, they only had a few hours to prepare, and the competition required strong cooperation among all team members.

If we can “avoid mistakes” like Xu Feng’s team, we will be able to exceed the average level.

After leaving the judges' seat, Xu Feng and his team members took their own signs and walked together towards the reallocated practice rooms and dormitories.

As a mentor, Xu Feng would leave after filming the show, so naturally he didn't need to live in the dormitory... But, he was actually very curious about what kind of dormitories different performances would be assigned to.

"Teacher Xu Feng, Teacher Bai Yao, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

As they were walking on the road, a few of the students who had not performed well just now spoke with some shame.

After the first round of guidance, Bai Yao, who was habitually ignored, finally gained the respect of the students.

If Xu Feng is the one who can accurately give the correct answer, then Bai Yao is the one who gives them ideas for solving the problem.

Maybe her status is not as high as other stars, but she is definitely a mentor worthy of respect.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble for my mentor and my partner... I'll treat everyone to hotpot tonight to make amends!"

"I'm really sorry. I didn't sing well in that part. If I could have performed better, maybe our ranking could have moved up a bit."

"To be honest, the atmosphere in this group is pretty good. In the variety shows I participated in before, most of the time, there were quarrels."

"Well, Teacher Xu Feng took the blame for us... We can't be so rebellious as to think that it's the two mentors' fault. They won first place for singing this song, but we were placed in the middle. No matter how you look at it, it's our fault."

"After the two mentors finished speaking, the other mentors couldn't say anything more."

"Don't push your luck. Calm down. Don't let Teacher Xu Feng do this again next time... Teacher Xu Feng crushes other stars and cheats other entertainment companies without blinking an eye, but for us he is willing to admit his mistakes. Damn... How can we have the nerve to do this?"

"Teacher Xu Feng really treats us as his students!"

"..."

Bai Yao whispered, "Teacher Xu Feng, everyone's morale is very high."

Of course...

The acceptance level of a school leader who stands under the eaves and orders students to get wet in the rain is completely different from that of a school leader who stands in the rain and gives a speech.

It’s not that everyone can’t get wet in the rain, or that the students are unconvinced, but that they need a role model.

How can you ask others to do something that you cannot do yourself?
If you are unwilling to take responsibility yourself, no one will be convinced when you ask others to take responsibility.

Xu Feng's performance just now convinced everyone - even a star of Xu Feng's level set an example, let alone their students?

Morale is certainly high!

Xu Feng pushed open the door of the practice room - the space was slightly smaller than the previous practice room, but all the equipment was still complete.

As expected, the punishment from the practice room side was symbolic.

"so far so good."

"At least there's not much of a problem with the singing area."

"Let's go check out the dormitories."

The group of people walked towards the dormitory together again.

"It's not a particularly big triple room, but it's better than I expected. I'm already prepared for the big bunk bed."

"One dormitory and one bathroom, that's not bad...Haha! I can accept that."

"I can totally accept it. It's much better than the employee dormitory I worked in before!"

"Of course. This kind of variety show punishment is usually concentrated on the bottom. If you have a middle-of-the-pack score, your living environment won't be very bad. After all, you paid the money."

“The environment is also good, and all the necessary daily necessities are available.”

"Are we in the middle of the pack a three-person room? What are the other rankings like?"

"You'll know when you visit us later, haha..."

The best ones are single rooms with private bathrooms, followed by double rooms, triple rooms, triple rooms with shared bathrooms, quadruple rooms with eight-person rooms with large bunk beds... and so on.

Xu Feng looked at the dormitory and smiled: "It doesn't matter, I will work hard next time and strive to get the best dormitory."

Someone immediately asked, "Don't you need extra tuition, Mr. Xu Feng?"

"No need, someone has passed it for you." Xu Feng glanced at Bai Yao, then at Qin Daoqiu in the crowd, and said with a smile, "Just do your best."

"Sure enough, I was wondering why Teacher Xu Feng was so dedicated and serious, and someone actually paid the tuition!"

"Hahaha! Teacher Xu Feng must be joking."

“I wonder what the challenge of the next show will be?”

"..."

There was laughter in the dormitory. While morale was high, the atmosphere was not depressing. The team's spirit and energy did not seem like that of a team that only achieved mid-range results.

……

More than ten minutes later, Xu Feng and Bai Yao left the variety show shooting site together through the employee passage.

"Teacher Xu Feng, where are you going later?"

Xu Feng didn't think about it and said, "My schedule is quite full recently. If you want to cooperate with me, please go to the Meishayong Technology headquarters to discuss it." I just want to treat you to hot pot to thank you...

Bai Yao was just about to speak when a very pleasant voice suddenly came from the front.

"Brother Xu Feng, are you out?"

Looking up, everything Bai Yao wanted to say was suddenly blocked.

What a beautiful sister!

As someone in the industry, she certainly knew a lot of gossip and had heard about Xu Feng from her agent before, but this was the first time she saw him in person.

I envy Teacher Xu Feng for having such a beautiful die-hard fan!
Thinking about it again, she felt a little envious of Cheng Luan, as this fan actually had such a good relationship with Teacher Xu Feng.

Everyone is envious!
Cheng Luan looked at the two of them, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Teachers, is there anything important that you haven't finished discussing?"

Really...it's just a variety show, why is there a woman around him?

The temptation of the entertainment industry is still too great!
Xu Feng and Bai Yao nodded, then walked forward and said, "That's all for now, let's go."

Under Bai Yao's gaze, the two got into the car naturally.

As soon as she closed the car door, Cheng Luan adjusted her double ponytails and said half-jokingly, "Brother Xu Feng, your performance just now... I guess the network environment won't be very good in the future."

Although Xu Feng used preemptive tactics on the stage, the other mentors had nothing to say.

But after the show is broadcast, there is still a lot of room for maneuver.

Many people who hate Xu Feng very much will definitely take this opportunity to attack him.

Xu Feng had a blank expression on his face: "Just like what I said before, the network environment was very good... I was indeed careless this time. I just need to do better next time."

Cheng Luan reached out and touched Xu Feng's shoulder: "By the way, Mr. Xu Feng, your new album is about to be released. How about finishing it before the next show starts?"

Yes... The system's March restriction on "Once Upon a Time" is about to end, and this album can be released.

"Then let's release it. We won't be doing a signed version this time." Xu Feng said, "I haven't had much time to sign recently... So how did the last album sell? How were the sales?"

"The good news is that your first album has a tendency to sell more than Lin Shenghuan, but due to content and pricing issues, sales are not high." Cheng Luan sighed, "and the profit is not very high either."

There is only one song in a physical album, so the cost cannot be reduced!
Xu Feng thought to himself, “I don’t want to either. “It’s not that we can’t send them out together, but we have to wait three months…”

Little Bird's face froze: "Starting from today, three months later?"

Xu Feng felt a little guilty: "Yes..."

Cheng Luan compromised immediately: "Forget it. Just post them one by one. It's good to show your characteristics to the end."

Because Cheng Luan's home is in the city center, very close to the variety show shooting location, it didn't take long for Xu Feng to drive to the vicinity of the community.

"That's it for now, see you tomorrow?"

However, this time Cheng Luan did not unbuckle her seat belt. She looked calm and said, "It's rush hour now. The traffic here will kill you. Do you want to go to my house for dinner first to avoid the rush hour?"

Uh, go straight to your house for dinner?!

Although the two have known each other for a long time, they have never visited each other's homes.

Xu Feng glanced at Cheng Luan and felt a little moved: "Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong with that?" Cheng Luan saw Brother Xu Feng's attitude and immediately made things real, "It just so happens that no one is at home today."

"Okay then." Xu Feng turned the steering wheel and drove towards the basement, asking Cheng Luan to tell him the house number.

It’s a high-end residential area, even the basement feels very high-end and safe…

After parking the car, Xu Feng and Cheng Luan walked into the elevator together and asked casually, "What do you want to eat?"

"I haven't decided yet." Cheng Luan was in a very good mood, and even the ending of her voice had a slight upturn. "Besides, you are the guest, so you should decide... By the way, Brother Xu Feng, can you cook?"

That will definitely happen...

In fact, cooking is quite interesting. The most time-wasting and boring stage is actually the food preparation stage.

Xu Feng thought about it and said something against his will: "No, will you?"

"I know a little... but my level is average." Cheng Luan looked at the elevator floor. "It doesn't matter. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll call the restaurant to order it."

Ding Dong!

The elevator door opens.

"The whole floor is yours, so arrogant." Xu Feng glanced at the door, "Do you want to change your shoes?"

Cheng Luan took off her shoes, revealing a slight blush in her white stockings. She then took out a pair of men's slippers that had never been opened from the shoe cabinet and handed them to Xu Feng.

"I'll go in and change my clothes."

Xu Feng felt a little puzzled... Why would Little Bird's sister have such a thing at home? It doesn't make sense to say it's for her brother. The difference in their body sizes is too big. These slippers are definitely not prepared for Cheng Zhao.

Forget it, too lazy to think about it.

Xu Feng sat in the living room and glanced at Cheng Luan's room.

Sure enough, the decoration style is also very suitable for her dressing style, and the style of the whole house has a dreamy and romantic feeling.

It looks good. Little Bird sister has always been very good at taste.

It's like the house is filled with my stuff... There are posters, albums, gifts from myself, and even those high-tech chopsticks that are a bit difficult to hold.

It’s quite a strange feeling to see all kinds of my peripherals in the homes of acquaintances.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Luan changed into a new set of clothes - relatively speaking, it was not as complicated as what she wore outside, but compared with the clothes most people wore at home, it still looked a bit cumbersome.

"Have you thought about what to eat?"

"It's all right. I don't have any dietary restrictions." Xu Feng admired the beauty and said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity to see what you usually eat."

"Okay." Cheng Luan didn't refuse, "Wait for me to make two calls."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and dialed a number.

The call was connected soon.

The little bird girl said to the person on the other end of the phone with a hint of joy in her voice, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. You have to live outside by yourself today."

"Where to stay? It's up to you. You can stay in a hotel, a dormitory, or a bridge tunnel."

"Traffic jams... evening rush hour is like this, just overcome it."

"Well, you don't have to come back until tomorrow night."

"Normally, I don't need to report to you what I'm going to do, but since you're curious, it's not that I can't tell you. Have dinner with your brother Xu Feng. Okay, I'm hanging up."

A few seconds later, Cheng Zhao sent a message to Xu Feng.

"?"

"No, Master Xu Feng, you and my sister?"

Cheng Zhao is not a sister complex, and he is too lazy to interfere in Cheng Luan's affairs. He just feels that Xu Feng is probably really blind.

At first, Cheng Zhao thought that Brother Xu Feng and Sister Huan were something.

Xu Feng wrote a big "miserable" word to the little fat man in his heart, glanced at Cheng Luan who was already calling to order food, and explained: "It's just a meal, don't think too much."

I don't believe it...

Cheng Zhao: "No more talking. Alas, I just arrived at the gate of the community... I'll just go out and find a hotel."

"Okay, bye."

As soon as he finished talking with Cheng Zhao, Xu Feng saw the big star sending him a message anxiously.

It's not surprising that every time Lin Shenghuan finishes filming a variety show or doing some other business, he can get gossip news on time.

"Handsome Xu, I heard that your variety show shooting had a disaster? Is it true? Well, I actually had a hunch that your song was too difficult."

Xu Feng glanced at Cheng Luan again: "It's a minor setback, but it's not bad, the results are average...Speaking of which, Sister Huan, did you plant an insider in the program group again this time?"

"...Do you still need an insider? There are all kinds of rumors on social media, saying that your performance this time was not satisfactory or something like that." Lin Shenghuan's helplessness almost penetrated the screen. "By the way, where are you now? I went to the company to take a look, but I didn't see Cheng Luan."

"Don't give up, we have to think of a way and not let Zhou Yanliu succeed!"

By the way, Cheng Luan used to work overtime in the company often, and Lin Shenghuan could basically see her whenever she went to the company. Why was she gone today?
Xu Feng: "Oh, I'm having dinner at her house. Now that things have come to this, let's eat first and think about the variety show tomorrow!"
