This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 237 Teacher Xu Feng, Save Me

"Spring Festival Gala?!"

When Xu Feng heard this word, his brows frowned slightly.

"Hmm..." Cheng Luan nodded, "I was given a singing and dancing invitation that is not in prime time. Not bad. Are you feeling better?"

Actually, it’s quite normal if you think about it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the songs sung by Xu Feng are well-known.

As the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala continue to decline year by year, and decision makers are still conservative, releasing a first-time, original, high-traffic song is a good way to increase the ratings.

As long as Xu Feng releases an announcement saying that he will release a new song on the Spring Festival Gala, it will definitely bring in a lot of views.

As for whether the people who were attracted would leave after listening to the song, that was not within their consideration.

"How about it, will you take it?"

Xu Feng thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head: "Forget it... We have little room for independent decision-making on this matter. We might mess it up. It's better to just do our own thing."

"This order is not small." Cheng Luan reminded him, "Although the direct economic benefits may not seem that great, it is a huge and glorious achievement for your future development."

I just want economic benefits. Without them I can't display my full potential.

Xu Feng complained in his heart, and then said, "Forget it. We are doing the work of a contractor. It would be bad if we mess it up."

"Look at you...if you don't participate in the Spring Festival Gala, what are you going to do after the TV series is finished?"

"It depends on what orders we have." Xu Feng said seriously, "We are only responsible for meeting other people's needs."

"Yes... you did meet the needs." Cheng Luan nodded with a smile, "You don't even know how the investors praised you."

"Investors are easy to talk to, but recently other stars and agencies have been contacting me, asking if I can add some roles temporarily, haha."

Previously, many first-line actors and big-name stars only verbally expressed their expectations for "The Chef", but did not really want to participate in it.

They don't want to be in a self-entertaining drama or a comedy.

You know, it is much more difficult for comedians to transform than ordinary actors.

But when the first episode of "The Gourmet Kitchen" was released, they realized how wrong they were and what kind of opportunity they had missed.

A TV series that can instantly promote completely unknown, fifth-tier actors to at least second-tier, or even first-tier!
A work that is definitely worthy of an award.

Countless actors had been looking forward to these opportunities, but they just gave them up and gave them to names they had never heard of.

How many big-name stars looked at the unfamiliar faces and names on the screen and beat their chests, regretting that they were not on it.

Now on all major social media platforms, topics related to the entertainment industry are all about those new names!

Many stars even went directly to their agencies and agents to ask why, as agents, they did not even contact Xu Feng to try to get this resource.

But the agent and the agency also feel wronged.

Who would have thought that the so-called food drama would be this kind of food drama?
According to the original speculation, this is a food comedy, and there is really no reason for them to contact Xu Feng for resources.

Moreover, Xu Feng’s cooking methods are surprisingly very sophisticated.

After watching the show, many fans tried to buy normal ingredients and recreate the cooking methods in the show step by step. The results were indeed delicious.

Apart from anything else, it actually attracted a group of real food fans.

Now many people are waiting for the follow-up plot of "Chef 3" and then replicating Xu Feng's cooking details.

Some people also hope to see more bizarre scenes.

Similarly, the professional techniques, bizarre content, and compact story rhythm have also attracted a large number of traditional suspense and criminal investigation audiences.

Even if they don't like any of the songs, there are still fans who want to listen to the songs and will specially turn on the TV series to listen to the songs.

In short, the audience of this TV series is terrifyingly large.

"Not only the audience, but even the actors didn't expect this." Xu Feng sighed, "You don't know how many times the filming was interrupted, and Lin Shenghuan was gloating beside them. Sigh."

Cheng Luan smiled happily: "What exactly happened? Tell me."

"Why don't you just go and see it live?" Xu Feng spread his hands. "What can I say about this?"

"No, I don't want to be spoiled." Cheng Luan moved closer and looked into Xu Feng's eyes, "Tell me about it."

Xu Feng coughed twice and said, "This is a little hard to describe. How about this? I'll add another camera position and take some behind-the-scenes photos for you to enjoy slowly."

To put it simply, many actors find it difficult to act out the feeling of enjoyment when eating, even if there are delicious dishes on the table.

It often takes many takes to get a shot right.

But fortunately, the actors Xu Feng found had very good acting skills. They were able to adapt to the environment quickly and forcefully capture that feeling.

Even after the filming is over, their crazy state will continue for a long time.

"Well... that's fine, go shoot, I'll wait for the next episode." Cheng Luan said with a smile, "I have to say, you look like what you shoot, and you really have the knack of judging people. Well, I'll go with you."

Xu Feng said as he changed his clothes: "Didn't you say you don't want to read spoilers?"

"I can just wait for you outside." Cheng Luan raised her eyes and smiled, "Be careful of fire, theft and Sister Huan."

"Uh, okay." Xu Feng was a little surprised that the little bird sister would say such a thing. He was stunned for a moment before changing his shoes. "Let's go, let's go."

Soon, the two arrived at the set.

After saying goodbye to Cheng Luan at the door, Xu Feng walked in.

The actors and other staff were already waiting inside.

"Teacher Xu Feng!"

"Director Xu!"

"The God of Song is here!"

"..."

When these people saw Xu Feng coming in, they all smiled and some even joked.

However, everyone had respect on their faces.

Previously, most of the actors who participated in the show never thought about getting any direct benefits from the TV series.

Especially those actors who have good abilities but lack resources.

They mainly want to accumulate experience, accumulate works, and at the same time get to know the senior bosses in the entertainment industry.

If they can invite Xu Feng or Lin Shenghuan to compose the music in the future, they might be able to get a good role.

But who knew that this TV series would become such a hit!
Several leading actors, and even the extras who showed their faces, immediately gained considerable fame on the Internet!

It’s not about accumulating resources, it’s not about building relationships, it’s not about pleasing Xu Feng!
If the script was known in advance, I wonder how many big-name actors would fight for these roles.

Some actors who are not so big names but are in urgent need of exposure to become first-line stars may not even ask for pay.

And Xu Feng actually gave this kind of resource to these actors with no background, making them feel embarrassed to even take the pay.

Just kidding, if we change any director, let alone getting paid, even if they give money, they can only get a non-important supporting role or even a minor role at most.

What's more, Xu Feng's acting skills and directing skills exceeded their imagination.

He really isn't here for fun!
"Alright, alright, let's start filming... Oh, by the way, set up another camera position. It doesn't have to be a very good one, just some behind-the-scenes footage." Xu Feng looked at the actors and waved his hand. Then he paused for a moment and asked curiously, "Well, why do I feel like your mental state is a little strange today? Did something happen?"

It’s not that my mental state is that bad, but it feels a little strange.

It seems like I haven’t eaten enough?
But why can I be so excited when I’m hungry?
"No, no." An actor quickly waved his hand, "I just didn't eat much these past two days, so I ate some vegetables to fill my stomach."

Xu Feng was even more puzzled: "Why don't you eat? Filming is a physical job. How can you have the energy to film without eating?"

"Well... because if I don't make myself a little hungry, it would be a little difficult to pretend to have a big appetite and eat heartily."

"Yeah!" Another leading actor also nodded, "It was a bit painful to act last time, let's go hungry this time and see if the effect can be better."

"Sure, that's a very good attitude..."

"Then let's get started..."

"..."

……

While Xu Feng was filming over there, the others were also busy.

A food blogger named "Xiao Lin Xiao Chu" turned on his live broadcast and looked through his comment section.

"Tsk, what's going on in the comments section recently? Why do everyone seem to be going crazy?"

"Before, they asked me to teach them how to fry bacon and braise pork... What's going on now? Why are there so many ingredients that don't seem to pass the review?"

"Where did you get these teachings?"

"..."

A bunch of text that had never appeared before appeared under her comment section.

"Never mind, we've seen the tutorial anyway, so hurry up and make a tutorial!"

"Host, trust me, this is definitely delicious. I've seen several big stars eating it and they've given it rave reviews."

"As for how to get the ingredients, that's up to the host himself."

"..."

The anchor snorted coldly and stopped playing dumb: "Come on, you're acting like you're the only ones who've watched The Kitchen God. I've watched it too, okay?"

"Those recipes have already been copied by other bloggers, so there's no point in me trying to make them now."

"Anyway, the latest two episodes are about to be aired. I'll buy the ingredients and reenact it for you on the spot."

"Xu Feng is really talented. He even marked the real ingredients of these delicacies. It's a bit too considerate. He is afraid that we will still have an appetite after seeing these ingredients in the future, right?"

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well check out what new developments Meishayong Technology has. Anything I can get is great."

"Wow, the Spring Festival Gala invited Xu Feng?! Oh, but they declined the invitation. Well, there will be a chance next time."

"He really doesn't have much time. Just think about it, he's probably going to win all the awards at the music festival... He's also going to film a TV series, which might also win awards... Oh, I heard he's going to have a wedding too. Wow, I'm so envious."

"Indeed, if you don't have the energy to do something well, you should just not do it."

"I now completely believe that no matter what order Xu Feng takes next, he will be able to complete it perfectly."

"A lot of people are regretting it now, haha!"

"By the way, what song do you think Xu Feng will sing when he receives the award?"

“I think it’s ‘Nocturne’!”

"Uh, I think it's 'Blue and White Porcelain'."

"No, this year hasn't even ended yet. How do you know Xu Feng won't release new songs or TV series? I even think he'll make a movie."

"He will definitely be able to make movies. You can tell from his level of making TV series... Why is he so versatile? Has anyone interviewed him?"

"I have interviewed him, and his answers are very consistent. He said that the salary is too high, which gives him endless motivation."

"...What kind of answer is this? As long as he has enough money, he can unleash his infinite potential, right? It's incredible."

"..."

Other live broadcast rooms and other forum communities are also discussing the issue enthusiastically.

"There have been a lot of cannibalism-related videos recently. Have you seen them? I'm almost dying of laughter, hahahaha!"

"Follow Xu Feng to learn how to be a good person. Go, go, go!"

"A pet of mine, about 170cm long and weighing 60kg, died. I am very sad. Please tell me, omnipotent netizens, how should I deal with the body of this pet? I don't want to affect my neighbors. Thank you!"

"Dear, I suggest you continue watching the third and fourth episodes of "The Kitchen Gourmet"."

“Here it comes, the third and fourth episodes are here!!!”

"Very good, I want to eat right away!"

"We should reflect on how much we can eat."

"By the way, has anyone checked Xu Feng? Why can he make such a TV series? Is there really something wrong with him?"

"Stop talking, I've already started watching. Look, I'm going to skip the plot and come to the food part. If I don't watch it, it won't exist."

"Hey, wait, why did the lady investigator in charge of the investigation suddenly disappear? Did I miss something? She should be one of the main actors, right?"

"She's not the lead actress at all, she was directly killed by Xu Feng and served on the table ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Fuck! Someone got eaten again?"

"Stop talking. I just want to watch a handsome boy cook. Don't talk about the plot. I really can't watch it straight..."

"Wasn't this girl Xu Feng's good friend and partner before? Friends are good, right?"

"Damn it! Xu Feng invited the other investigators to his home for dinner again. He even enthusiastically introduced how this dish was made. I'm really convinced. Don't eat it, I've eaten all the evidence!"

"There are thousands of pieces of evidence, but the investigators only eat half of them. Haha. I am so happy."

"Ah, I've finished reading it again. Why does it feel so short..."

"Who can come up with some more money? We have to force Xu Feng to do something."

"..."

ps: Next we will enter the final plot.
