Chapter 79: Not Helping Someone in Danger (3k)

Deputy director of "Singer"?
Calling myself so late at night?!

Xu Feng held the phone a little further away, scanned the phone number, and then continued to ask: "What's your name?"

Usually when Xu Feng has nothing to do, he would watch the variety show "Singer" to have fun. He didn't expect that today the fun would find him directly.

In fact, as soon as the other party revealed his identity, Xu Feng could guess most of the other party's intentions.

They were furious at losing on stage and being scolded off stage, so they could only try to make up for it... At least, the program crew still had to have some shame and didn't dare to force black into white under the watchful eyes of so many people at home and abroad, and didn't dare to force those singers who had obviously made huge mistakes to get good rankings.

Even if there is some behind-the-scenes manipulation, the weaker side can only be judged as the winner if the performance of both sides is 40% to 60%.

As long as the performance level is up to par, whether a song is good or not is still quite subjective.

For several consecutive episodes, not even a single contestant who could have manipulated the show could be found, so the intention of the program crew in contacting us was already very clear.

"Feng Xiaoqiang, Teacher Xu Feng, you can just call me Feng Xiaoqiang." The other party's voice became much more attentive. "Your name has been very popular recently. Our program team actually wanted to contact you a long time ago, but we just didn't have the time. What a pity!"

This sounded pleasant, but Xu Feng didn't believe a word of it.

If I had wanted to contact them earlier, I should have contacted them during the live broadcast of the wrap party - at that time Lin Shenghuan was still encouraging me to sign up.

Xu Feng yawned unabashedly and said, "Editor Feng, if you have something to say, just say it. I don't care about these things."

Feng Xiaoqiang paused for a moment and said, "Teacher Xu Feng is indeed worthy of his reputation. I won't beat around the bush...Have you been following our program recently?"

"I watched it." Xu Feng commented bluntly, "Except for the seeded players who performed well, the performances of the others were really average... To be honest, most of them were not as good as the last two performances at the Luohe University graduation party."

"Hahaha! If it were someone else, I would definitely criticize him, but Mr. Xu Feng, I actually agree with what you said." After Feng Xiaoqiang praised Xu Feng several times in a row, he finally got the topic back on track, "I noticed that you recently participated in a variety show..."

"If I'm not mistaken, the song 'The Most Dazzling National Style' should be your work, right?"

First, Du Mian'er doesn't have that level, and second, she herself said that the song is not hers.

And she also purchased Xu Feng's service...there was not much suspense as to who the song belonged to.

Xu Feng nodded and said, "That's right."

"Great, great! It's rare to find a singer who can handle different styles of songs so easily these days." Feng Xiaoqiang continued, "In view of your ability, our program team now plans to formally invite you to be a guest of the variety show "Singer". Is that okay?"

"You don't have to worry about the order of your appearance. We will arrange the easiest opponents for you in the next round of eliminations to ensure that you can get on stage."

Xu Feng had too many things on hand, so he refused without thinking: "I'm sorry, Director Feng, I have a lot of things on hand, and I probably can't spare the time to participate in your variety show recently."

The important thing is to finish filming the three episodes of "Make Money, Star" steadily and wait for the TV series "Liver and Gallbladder" to be edited and released, so that more people can see that I have other talents besides singing.

Of course, if there is nothing else to do and the program crew offers a suitable price, it is not impossible to participate in the variety show "Singer".

"Well, I have a solution." Feng Xiaoqiang knew that Xu Feng was not trying to evade the issue. "If you can beat the contestant we designate in the variety show, our production team can bear the penalty."

"Don't worry, as long as you can perform steadily, you will definitely win in the end."

"As for the remuneration, we will increase the original variety show remuneration by 10% as compensation. What do you think? It just so happens that the recording of our next show is in Luohe City, so it will be convenient for you to come over."

This program group seems to be quite sincere at the moment...

It’s much better than the production team of “The God of Tomorrow’s Singer”.

But Xu Feng thought about it carefully and declined: "I'm really sorry, doing this will damage my reputation."

After accepting an order, you must complete it conscientiously. Even if someone offers a higher price to cancel it, you cannot agree. This is the most basic professional quality.

Feng Xiaoqiang sighed: "Is that so? That's a pity..."

If Xu Feng could be invited to "Singer", the various problems that variety shows are facing now, if not all of them could be solved, at least most of them could be solved.

It's a pity.

"That may not be the case." Xu Feng thought for a moment and reminded, "I am only a guest on Make Money, Star. I will only be on three episodes. By then, your variety show should still be a while away from ending. If you need me by then, it won't be too late to contact me."

By that time we will have found singers who can carry the show...do we still need you?
Feng Xiaoqiang shook his head slightly. He no longer had any hope for Xu Feng's affairs. However, considering Xu Feng's ability and momentum, his tone was still relatively polite: "Okay, even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have friendship. We'll contact each other again when we have a chance."

"Let me ask you a question a little more presumptuously. Teacher Xu Feng, do you mind if the result of this invitation is released? Because we have drawn up an invitation list, and fans may ask about it."

Xu Feng didn't care much about this kind of thing: "It's okay, just don't exaggerate."

"Okay, then good night, Teacher Xu Feng, and have a good sleep!"

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Feng connected his phone to the charger and turned off the light. His attitude was really good, completely different from when he first participated in "Tomorrow's Singer"...

Xu Feng still clearly remembers the tone of voice used by the "God of Tomorrow's Singer" production crew when they called him, as if saying one more word would be alms.

And now, even the deputy director of the variety show "Singer" called me and his tone was very polite.

After being repeatedly slapped in the face and losing more than what they gained, the production crew of "Tomorrow's God of Singing" seems to have given up and is no longer going against Xu Feng.

But Xu Feng did not get carried away. He also knew that all the superficial respect was only because of the strength he demonstrated in a short period of time. Without a company operating behind him, if there was any mistake, the public opinion on the Internet would change immediately.

"You must maintain your advantage and not reveal any flaws... The entertainment industry is still quite dangerous."

In fact, Xu Feng had also thought about it. Why not just find a reliable company and sign a cooperative agency contract... Although a portable agent can solve the problem of resources, its functions are not so comprehensive after all. Xu Feng still has to waste his time to take care of many miscellaneous things.

For example, the questions Liu Wei asked earlier about music production were actually not as easy for Xu Feng as he said.

If he had a reliable agency, he wouldn't have to deal with many trivial matters on his own.

But Lin Shenghuan's recent experience made him give up this idea.

It seems that finding a "reliable" agency is not that easy.

There are too many muddy waters in the entertainment industry. Even though Lin Shenghuan has been so careful, he still can't avoid falling into the trap. Xu Feng naturally needs to consider it more carefully.

"We will go to the recording site of the second episode tomorrow."

……

the next day.

Xu Feng packed his belongings and took a taxi to the airport.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw from afar a group of people gathered at the airport reception area not far away. It seemed that a star had just got off the plane and was being blocked by fans asking for his autograph.

From time to time, screams of “Ahhhh” could be heard.

"Tsk, what a scene." Xu Feng checked his belongings and sighed, "It's really great. If it were me, at most Sister Xiaoniao would come to pick me up, right?"

In fact, Xu Feng already has quite a few fans, but with his personality, it is difficult for him to attract those particularly fanatical and crazy fans.

Even Cheng Luan, a die-hard fan, actually behaves in a relatively normal manner.

Xu Feng picked up his luggage and was about to take a detour when a fan who had been screaming just now suddenly looked over at him.

She shouted loudly: "Are you...are you Xu Feng?!"

Xu Feng?

This name has appeared frequently on various social platforms recently. It is impossible for those who follow the entertainment industry not to have heard of it.

For a moment, many eyes looked over.

"Is this Xu Feng? He is indeed handsome, but it's a pity that he is a god."

"Why is he here? Is he here to pick me up at the airport as well?"

"No way……"

"My brother Yu is here to participate in the variety show 'Singer'. He has been doing experimental music creation. He is not comparable to people like Xu Feng who are obsessed with money."

"That's right. I heard that he rejected the request of the "Singer" production team again. He didn't help the dying. He is not as good as Brother Yu in any way."

These brainless fans are really a group of creatures who are completely unable to communicate, so stupid... Xu Feng complained in his heart, shook his head vigorously, and quickened his pace.

They have also heard of the singers Yu Chen and Xu Feng, whom they are fans of. They are known as the top singers of the new generation, with a very loud name and high popularity...but they cannot produce any particularly famous works.

Xu Feng has also seen the so-called experimental creations. Rather than singing, they are more like performance art. Anyway, he can't appreciate them.

As if attracted by the noise, Yu Chen, who was signing autographs for fans, also looked over here.

"Teacher Xu Feng, what a coincidence?"

What a coincidence! We're going to miss our flight!
Xu Feng sighed: "Fortunately, I have to catch the plane."

Is there any need for two people who don't know each other to have an awkward conversation here?
Yu Chen nodded slightly and asked, "I thought Xu Feng was also here to participate in the "Singer" variety show. Why didn't you come even though the program invited you? How regrettable! Doesn't Mr. Xu Feng want to show himself on the international stage?"

"Not for now." Xu Feng squeezed through the crowd and waved his hand, "The singers up there are quite powerful. If I go and beat them... I have to pay extra."
