This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 203 Confidently Taking the First Place?

"what?"

"That side is totally uncooperative?"

Zhou Yanliu's angry voice was heard from her practice room.

"How can you be so ungrateful? Don't you think we should be more united at a time like this?"

"We've already released songs, is it too much to ask for one more spot?"

"Just for this one lousy spot, what's there to fight for?"

"..."

Looking at Zhou Yanliu throwing a tantrum, Lei Zhihui gently shook his head and thought to himself, aren't you the most disunited one?

Why should others let us release songs?

Which mentor doesn’t want his or her original song to be released on such a good platform and gain huge exposure?
You know, whether it is a movie or a song, publicity and promotion are very costly things.

Releasing songs on variety shows is equivalent to saving a lot of publicity costs.

Unless it is a singer of the level of Xu Feng or Lin Shenghuan, even if they release songs secretly and without any promotion, a lot of people will rush to listen to them. Otherwise, releasing songs on this variety show is definitely a win-win situation with no harm.

Even for a singer of Xu Feng's level, releasing songs on this variety show will have a certain positive impact on song sales.

Having taken such a big advantage, you still want others to give up a spot?
Besides, our own results are not that good.

It's fine if she doesn't have the upper hand, but Zhou Yanliu's attitude just now was simply...

Many times, asking others to do something is entirely determined by their attitude.

For example, if there is a person who has no manners, swears, and violently cuts in line, most people will not tolerate him.

But if you just make up an excuse, like having an emergency at home, play the victim, apologize to everyone at the back of the line, and have a nicer attitude, even if others are unhappy, they will not pursue the matter.

Zhou Yanliu's attitude makes it wishful thinking for her to make others compromise.

"Now what?"

"My teammates were a bit resolute. They seemed to say they'd rather lose than indulge us in this bad habit."

"It's better to lose both..."

After saying this, Zhou Yanliu became a little anxious again.

At this point, the one who can't afford to lose will be at a disadvantage in the game.

Obviously, compared to the team with a stable ranking and no negative public opinion about the mentors themselves, Zhou Yanliu is the one who can't afford to lose.

If I lose to Xu Feng again in this round, I will have no chance of living as a human being.

No matter what tricks he used, he was beaten by Xu Feng. He wanted to use others as stepping stones, but in the end he was the biggest stepping stone!
Zhou Yanliu can no longer afford to lose.

Even if she tries her best now, the voices mocking her on the Internet are already a little overwhelming. If she performs poorly this time, the opportunities she will have in the future will become smaller and smaller.

It’s unfair competition every time, and I can’t beat Xu Feng every time!
I can only compromise...

"Okay then, we don't want that spot." Zhou Yanliu frowned and shook her head, "But the song must be mine."

must……

Can't you have a better attitude?

It's obvious that you are asking others to do something for you.

Lei Zhihui sighed: "How about we compete fairly first, what if our teammates can come up with a better song?"

Zhou Yanliu frowned even deeper: "What if our song doesn't win? What should we do?"

"If they haven't competed, then they haven't competed." Lei Zhihui said, "If they really haven't competed, it means that the other team's songs are of better quality and have a greater chance of winning. Why not do it?"

"..."

This is true, but it is really hard for Zhou Yanliu to accept that she has to leave the center stage and become a supporting role to set off others.

Lei Zhihui continued: "Besides, I don't think anyone can come up with a better song than us on the spur of the moment."

This is a real surprise attack!

Even the former top singer from that group was at most given a warning before the show started.

I don't know the exact rules.

How could a song they made on the spur of the moment be better than one made by a professional team after so much hard work?
Do you really think everyone is Xu Feng?
There is no need to treat Xu Feng as a normal person anymore.

For a good song, the harmony of instruments and vocals alone is a daunting challenge.

It's a temporary composition, and it would be great if it could make a good hidden catchy song.

In fair competition, they are actually the ones who have the advantage.

But... comparing like this will waste a lot of time.

Lei Zhihui sighed again - the trap deliberately designed by the program team really led to infighting among the teams.

Even if it is fair competition, what ends up being wasted is time.

If everyone can work together, the time saved can be left for students to practice.

The more you practice, the more familiar you will be with the song, and the more likely you will perform better and win the final victory.

Wasting time on infighting will not help improve your grades at all.

fine……

Xu Feng's team should also encounter the same problem.

No matter how small the differences are, it's impossible for us to really work together completely, right?

This round of competition is about who makes fewer mistakes, who makes fewer errors, and who spends less resources on infighting.

Lei Zhihui is working hard to reduce the losses caused by internal strife!
But...who made their group's performance so unsatisfactory?
If you want to convince others, you must either show your performance in the previous round or produce work that convinces everyone.

The consequences of the last round's disastrous defeat have finally spread to the next round...

If you can’t let your achievements speak for you, you can only let your works speak for you, and it takes time to let your works speak for you.

The most lacking thing at this stage is time.

"Okay, then let them come over quickly!" Zhou Yanliu finally compromised.

Come back here, come back here!
Lei Zhihui took a deep breath and said, "How about we go over there? It's not for any other reason, but mainly because their practice room is bigger. For three groups of people, we should choose a bigger practice room with more space."

Zhou Yanliu was convinced by this reason: "Okay... let's go."

"..."

Based on the same reason, the team of the traffic singer was finally convinced.

After a full half hour, the three teams finally gathered in the same practice room and reached the most basic compromise with each other.

But due to the previous unpleasantness, everyone was dissatisfied with the other two teams, and the atmosphere was tense and on edge.

"Time is running out, let's get started!"

"Let's go first..."

"Why not us first?"

"Because we came in second in the last round, is that reason enough?"

"Then we were first in the last round. Does this prove anything?"

"..."

Looking at his teammates who were arguing with each other in the practice room, Lei Zhihui shook his head vigorously.

Ugh.

I hope the same situation happens with Xu Feng...

I wonder what their current progress is?
Fortunately, although their temporary alliance had serious internal strife, they had a finished song, which saved them time in creation.

I hope that this little bit of time saved can be turned into an advantage to some extent. No matter how good Xu Feng is, or how united the other group is, it is impossible to create a song on the spot. It always takes time to create...

This is their only advantage.

"..."

……

On the other side, in Xu Feng’s large practice room.

He was scanning the music library, thinking about which song to use this time.

"Well... since there are so many people singing together, why not pick a song that allows singers of different styles to perform a little?"

After searching around for Cheng Luan's things, Xu Feng couldn't find them. He had no choice but to bite the bullet, spend his points, and make another 10 draws.

Sure enough, after losing the protection of good luck, the songs Xu Feng drew were a bit unbearable to watch.

Among the 10 songs, 7 can be thrown directly into the trash can because of their poor reputation and quality.

There are two other good songs, but I feel like they don’t quite match the intensity of this variety show.

Don't underestimate your opponent.

Since Zhou Yanliu's team chose this shady approach, it means they should be somewhat confident.

If you choose ordinary songs, it is easy to fail.

So Xu Feng looked at the title of the last song.

If Only

"This song should be a solid success." Xu Feng nodded. "We can also let singers with different styles try out the chorus."

When Xu Feng made the decision, others also asked jokingly: "Teacher Xu Feng, are you writing a song?"

"Be bold!"

"Wow, this is the creative state of Teacher Xu Feng. I can't learn anything from him."

"Don't learn it. Learning from Teacher Xu Feng will only make you lose all your touch and confidence..."

"By the way, how long do you think it will take for Teacher Xu Feng to come up with the song?"

"It's boring to guess directly. How about we add some chips and use the meal tickets given to us by the production team?"

"Sure! I'll deposit 20 yuan for the meal ticket. I think it'll be in 2 hours."

"That's a bit disrespectful to Teacher Xu Feng. I think it's only an hour at most. Look at Teacher Xu Feng. He's clearly in the right state now."

"It's not that I don't believe in Mr. Xu Feng, but Mr. Xu Feng just released a new song, so his inspiration should still be running out, right?"

"Don't forget about Sister Huan's incident!"

"Sister Huan came directly to the audience today, and you told me that Teacher Xu Feng has run out of inspiration?"

"That's right..."

"I'll bet 100 meal tickets on Mr. Xu Feng to finish the song within an hour!"

"Then I'll... 40 minutes, 50 meal tickets, I'll follow!"

Anyway, it's garbage time now, so just chatting and joking around won't affect anything, and it can actually help relax your mind.

Just as everyone was placing bets, Xu Feng, who had been thinking, suddenly raised his head.

As soon as this action came out, it attracted everyone's attention.

Some students also realized their behavior and apologized embarrassedly: "Ahem... I played a little too much, I'm sorry, Teacher Xu Feng!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Teacher Xu Feng, please don't mind!"

"That's a bit too arrogant..."

"Isn't this because Teacher Xu Feng has a good temper?"

When Xu Feng was choosing songs, he didn't focus on the practice room. He looked at the students in a somewhat puzzled manner.

What apology?
What are you sorry for?

What happened that you feel sorry for me?
But he didn't think too much about it, and clapped his hands to signal the students to gather together: "Okay, okay, don't play for now, the song is almost out, everyone get ready, I will make the file and send it to everyone later."

The students who had just been betting on how long it would take Xu Feng to write a new song, and even the mentors from other groups, were stunned.

what? !

Is the song ready?

Already, okay?
Teacher Xu Feng, how long have you been sitting here?
Even the most radical student with the most meal tickets can only guess for 40 minutes at most.

Who would have thought that the final answer would be “now”?

When Teacher Xu Feng writes, does he just sit down and think about it in his mind?
Think it through and then write it down?!
Still human?
Could it be that the songs for Lin Shenghuan were also created in this way?
The students are already a little numb.

There was even a hint of fear in the look of Xu Feng's departing back.

In the Chinese music scene, Xu Feng's performance is already historic, and it is extremely strong...

Lin Shenghuan in the audience...

Sister Huan, why do I suddenly feel like you're in danger?
Because of habitual thinking and because the two have a good relationship, few people actually compare Xu Feng with Lin Shenghuan.

We are both wearing the same pair of pants, so what’s the point of comparing them?

Moreover, if someone had said before that Xu Feng, a fledgling singer, would be able to easily surpass Lin Shenghuan in the future, he would probably have been criticized as a rhythm party.

But now think about it, this doesn't seem impossible...

With mixed feelings, the students soon waited for the song.

"'If Then'...not bad, listen to it, listen to it!"

The instructors of the other two groups couldn't help themselves and moved forward.

To be honest, they also want to listen.

"..."

“Fuck, that’s awesome!!!”

"Stable!"

“It’s time to open the champagne.”

"Don't be in a hurry to open the champagne. You can't sing this song just because you want to. Anyway, I won't give this spot to anyone else without a competition!"

"Then let's compete!"

"..."

Some time passed.

The final time for song submission has come, and the director gathered both groups together to make a final summary of the program.

"We have already received works from two groups of tutors!"

“To be honest, I’m looking forward to it. Very much!”

The chief director chuckled and changed the subject: "However, for the sake of drama in the variety show, the performances of the two mentor groups will not appear in the same episode."

"One set is at the end of this episode, and the other set is at the beginning of the next one."

"Excuse me, do the two groups of mentors have their own preferred order of appearance?"

"If the demands of both sides do not conflict, we will follow the instructors' request; if there is a conflict, we will draw lots to decide fairly, how about that?"

Xu Feng looked at his teammates, and after making sure they didn't mind, he said, "We have no requirements, just draw lots."

The director nodded, looked at Zhou Yanliu's group, and asked with a smile: "So, what do the teachers here think?"

Zhou Yanliu didn't even look at the other teammates' expressions. She was full of confidence and said directly, "We will be the first to appear, in this episode!"
