This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 4 Civilization and Etiquette (Seeking follow-up reading)
"Shhhhh."

Xu Feng mechanically stuffed the skewers into his mouth, chewed and swallowed them, with no expression on his face, as if he was chewing wax instead of eating the fragrant skewers.

It’s not that Xu Feng doesn’t like eating barbecue, but this stingy system was not polite at all when it came to taking a cut, and it took away all the taste, satiety and even the texture of this barbecue.

What else could chewing air feel like other than being unpleasant?

It would be better to finish eating quickly and go home to think carefully about how to use this system to stand out on the music variety show stage.

If he doesn't perform better, Xu Feng, a newcomer with no achievements in the entertainment industry, will never be able to receive any decent "employment commissions". Without commissions, he will not be able to improve his abilities or gain exposure, and will fall into a vicious cycle.

On the contrary, as long as there are outstanding performances, everything can continue in a virtuous cycle.

It is no exaggeration to say that "The God of Tomorrow's Singer" is Xu Feng's most critical opportunity.

Thinking of this, Xu Feng once again quickened his movements.

Suddenly, a tentative voice came from the other side: "Brother? Are you still interested?"

The fat man on the side watched Xu Feng swallowing mercilessly, and then thought about his performance on the stage and his cheerful conversation with Lin Shenghuan. He felt more and more that this man was not simple.

Moreover, he felt that Xu Feng would have a high chance of making a career in the future. If he made some friends now, he might be able to build some connections in the future. At worst, he could brag about it to others.

Xu Feng looked up, his voice a little puzzled: "It's okay, what's wrong?"

"Well, since we all know each other, how about adding WeChat so we can get in touch if we have any questions in the future?"

After all, this was his first customer. Xu Feng thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll scan you and give you a note."

"Just call me Cheng Zhao..." Cheng Zhao said, his pupils suddenly widened, "Brother Xu Feng, check Weibo, you're on the hot search list!"

So fast?
How long has it been since the concert ended?

After Xu Feng finished the last skewer in his hand, he took out his cell phone and opened Weibo.

"Others have the wedding of the century, but you have the breakup of the century?"

Xu Feng clicked on it casually and couldn't help but complain about the title in his heart - these people don't understand what's going on. How can they break up when they weren't even together?

When I clicked on it, I saw that the top post at the top of the hot searches was a video with a humorous emoticon.

From the first second of the entire video, the barrage almost occupied half of the screen.

As soon as Xu Feng cut ties with Green Tea and stepped onto the stage, many viewers started shouting in the barrage.

"They obviously came here together, but they pretended not to know each other. There must be something fishy going on! Is there anyone who knows the inside story?"

"Such a handsome guy can also be scumbag, it balances it out."

"Is this handsome guy going to sing Happy Breakup?"

"To be honest, I have never heard a German song. If you don't want such a talented handsome guy, I want him!"

"..."

When seeing Xu Feng take the stage, many people were still excitedly guessing what song he would sing under the gaze of so many eyes.

Then, when the song sounded in the video, the comments on the entire screen became visibly much sparser.

After two or three seconds, the barrage of comments came pouring in explosively.

"What the hell?! What song is this?!" "Ah? Ah?! I'm playing it loudly, brother! Don't mess with me! My parents are right next to me!"

“You’re telling me this is a German song?”

"Good! You are a model of civilized behavior and set a new trend. Mom rewarded me with my favorite slap on the face after hearing this."

"I suddenly knew why this video became a hot topic. This guy is awesome. Singing this kind of song in front of so many people, his mental quality alone deserves full marks."

"This handsome guy must be a tough guy who is not easy to mess with. This green tea level is not good enough. How dare you mess with such a person?"

"I won't comment without knowing the full story, just watch it for fun now."

"Putting aside the lyrics and other things, I think this handsome guy sings pretty well."

"I know a little German. Although it may sound a bit civilized to everyone, my pronunciation is actually quite standard. I think I have practiced it."

"I'm a little bit addicted. Let me listen to it again."

"By the way, does he have an account on Weibo or other platforms? He seems like a very interesting person and I would like to follow him."

"..."

Netizens were discussing the topic very enthusiastically, and it seemed that Xu Feng had gained a lot of traffic with this operation.

However, Xu Feng himself knows that this kind of traffic is like a tree without roots. It will float by and will not last long before the enthusiasm of netizens will completely fade away. If he wants to catch this wave of traffic, he must come up with works that truly belong to him as soon as possible.

After all the twists and turns, we still have to place our hopes on "The God of Tomorrow's Singer".

"The first performance will be soon, I have to go back and prepare."

After watching the video and reading the comments, Xu Feng put the last skewer into his mouth. He stood up, said goodbye to Cheng Zhao, got in the car and left the barbecue stall.

After returning to the cramped rental house, Xu Feng plugged in his nearly dead phone, only to find that he had received several more messages on WeChat.

Lin Shenghuan: "I just slept for a while, and I forgot to send you some important things. This is the schedule of "Tomorrow's Singer". You should be familiar with the other parts, so I won't say much. The most important part here is the elimination round of 8 to 5. Although I'm not sure if you can make it to this stage, I still want to give you a shot of prevention."

"There are 10 episodes in total for 'God of Singing Tomorrow'. The elimination round of 8 to 5 will probably be held in the seventh episode. The competition method is a highly hardcore method of using the singer's original song + the singer's own accompaniment. If you really can't play any instrument and choose the official accompaniment or sing a cappella, you will be at a great disadvantage in the final evaluation."

"If you can play some musical instruments, prepare early. There will be special teachers on the show to help you with writing lyrics and composing music, so you don't have to worry too much."

"If you really can't do it, then the most important thing is to participate. Don't take my suggestion of striving for the top 5 seriously. I was just kidding. Now I'm going to sleep. I wish you an exceptional performance!"

Musical instruments...

Xu Feng looked at the buff that the system rewarded him with, "Ability to Play Unpopular Instruments +80", and felt that he was quite lucky.

With a singing ability of 50, it is relatively safe to enter the top 5 and complete the task.

"Singing and playing are not a problem. Now I should consider which song to sing." Xu Feng muttered to himself, feeling a little conflicted.

Even if Xu Feng had the memories of his previous life, he couldn't reproduce entertainment works by himself - being familiar with a song, a novel, or a movie doesn't mean he can bring them out of his mind.

If we cooperate with professionals at the variety show site, there is a good chance that we can complete the reproduction, but the final copyright ownership is another extremely troublesome issue.

Xu Feng looked at the system panel, looked at his pitiful 300 points, and looked at the words "can be used to draw entertainment works" behind the points, and a bold idea popped up in his mind.

How about going all in?
