This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 80 The Rich Woman's Little Plan (3k)

"Insanity!"

"who do you think You Are?"

"..."

These voices behind him did not affect Xu Feng at all. He leisurely got his boarding pass and flew to the new filming location of "Make Money, Star".

After getting off the plane, Xu Feng received a message from Cheng Luan on his mobile phone.

"Brother Feng, I've been quite busy these past few days, so I probably won't be able to come to this show."

Xu Feng laughed: "You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing, little bird sister, you have your own life too."

Cheng Luan's eyes were full of joy. "Not really. This matter might have something to do with you."

Does it have anything to do with me?
Fans’ behavior should not involve the stars themselves!

Xu Feng complained and asked, "Well, since it's my business, can I hear the details of what it is?"

"Of course, that's why I came to you." Cheng Luan replied, "Won't the variety show you're shooting have a screening process from the audience's challenges? My proposal should be selected without any surprises."

Was he selected as expected?

Xu Feng knew that the program team would select some challenges from the massive amount of inspiration from the audience to increase the interactivity and fun of the entire variety show, but there were too many categories of such challenges, and there were too many viewers who came up with some strange challenges on the spur of the moment. The probability of being actually selected was not much different from winning a million-dollar prize.

A few days ago, Xu Feng just glanced at the comment section and saw comments such as asking celebrities to swim across the Yangtze River or asking guests to eat strange things.

It is necessary to screen out meaningful challenges from so many strange things, test the difficulty of the challenge, and set a reasonable remuneration for the challenge, which will itself greatly increase the cost of the variety show.

And Cheng Luan actually said that her proposal would be adopted by the program team?

Could it be that...she paid the program crew for money?
If it is true, then Cheng Luan's wealth may be far greater than Xu Feng guessed.

Xu Feng took his checked luggage, got on the show's nanny car, and asked again: "How can you be so sure?"

Cheng Luan was a little proud of being able to perform in front of her idol: "The program team wants to make money. As long as it is profitable and the challenge I proposed does not affect the effect of the program, why would they not agree?"

It turns out that money is really used to pave the way!
My goodness, the stars who are obsessed with money and the die-hard fans who use money to pave the way for them, now they are really birds of a feather, right?

"You really have a lot of money to burn." Xu Feng didn't comment on the rich woman's behavior, but sighed, "Just to customize a show on a variety show?"

Cheng Luan: "That's not entirely true. This is related to the little plan I mentioned earlier."

I don't think your "little plan" is that small...

Xu Feng muttered inwardly, and followed Cheng Luan's meaning and continued to ask: "What plan?"

“I’m planning to start a business.”

"?"

"You always need to take orders, and you don't have an agency. I think we can work together and help you find resources and handle other trivial matters. If I have a good idea, I can also be an investor and give you some orders."

In the past few days, she has been writing and drawing on her Pad just for this matter.

We can’t let Xu Feng continue to be so bad!

Fans are fans, business is business. After Xu Feng was initially shocked, he immediately realized, "You mean, you want to start a company and sign a management contract with me?"

"No, I don't have any resources in the entertainment industry." Cheng Luan denied, "If I have any ideas in the future, I can cooperate with you in the name of the company, or I can cooperate with the crew or program group in the name of the investor, just like this time."

"And during the collaboration, it can also help you solve some trivial matters... It's not a good idea to always rent instruments when you are making songs."

"We sign short-term contracts for individual orders, not agency contracts."

To put it bluntly, it’s just a large-scale form of star chasing for fun?
For the sake of my mercenary character, why don't you just open a company to play with me, right?
Xu Feng sighed again: "So, your 'little plan' is to start a company for fun? Then how do you plan to make money from this company?"

"You said it's just for fun, whether you make money or not is up to fate." Cheng Luan had never considered such things, "If you really feel sorry for me, why don't you take more orders?"

At this point in the conversation, how could Xu Feng still not know that this was a way for his die-hard fans to support him...but it was really a bit too expensive.

As a person who does things based on how much money he is paid, I feel a little guilty about it.

"To be honest, it's too extravagant." Xu Feng had already arrived at the hotel where he was staying. While checking in for the room card, he continued, "In fact, conventional support methods are enough."

Cheng Luan got angry when she heard this. She asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, our big star, do you have any paid projects that fans can support? Is it an album or peripherals? Or concert tickets? How many fans want to support you? Do you have any projects that we can support?"

Xu Feng immediately chose the dove tactic: "Haha, it will be released later." "It doesn't have to be released later." Cheng Luan snorted softly, "The challenge project I set for the program team this time is related to this, but I signed a confidentiality agreement with them, so I have to wait for them to tell you. I can't disclose the specific information."

"Don't you need a reward to move? Are you moving now?"

In order to force me to move, you have put a lot of effort into it, little bird sister...

"Okay, I'll go and take a look when the show starts."

"Then I won't bother you anymore~"

After finishing the call with Cheng Luan, Xu Feng quickly went to bed and took an emergency rest. When the alarm clock rang in the afternoon, the dizziness he felt after flying was relieved a lot.

Turning on the phone, Liu Wei was sending brief messages about this episode to the guest group.

"I haven't seen you all for five days. How have you been?"

Du Mian'er: "Very good, I am very motivated now!"

"I hope I don't have to ask Xu Feng for help this time. Hahaha. I couldn't help laughing myself in the last episode."

Yu Yanpeng said sarcastically: "I really didn't expect that I was the only good person among so many guests."

Wang Chuan, who prides himself on being a capable person, simply said nothing. To be honest, this matter was indeed a bit embarrassing.

Others continued to chat in the group chat.

Liao Fei: "Teacher Xu Feng's level is very good... It's a pity that some people's fans are a bit crazy and keep blackmailing me. I'm tired of it. Is it still wrong not to participate in a certain variety show these days? Their stars are so good, why don't they just go on "Singer" and dominate the show themselves?"

"Yeah, Teacher Xu Feng still has to film our show. Is it right to cancel our show?"

Liu Wei noticed that the topic was a bit off, so she interrupted immediately, "Just say this in the group, and ask the production team to cut it out when the time comes, otherwise your status won't be able to withstand the attacks of those brainless fans. Not everyone is Teacher Xu Feng."

After a few seconds, she continued, "The ratings of the last show were very high, but... well, as everyone knows, there was a bit of discord, so we will make some minor adjustments to the rules of this show."

Xu Feng thought about what Cheng Luan had told him and asked, "So, have I been weakened?"

In fact, it’s good that he was cut, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to step down from the first position...

"Great, that's great! It's too strong, it should be weakened!"

It is a spectacle that as a flying guest who lives up the atmosphere, increases the fun of the program, provides freshness or brings about specific topics, the program team can come up with a targeted rule specifically for him.

Xu Feng had no objection to the change in rules - the previous episode had almost turned into a krypton gold war, and that was when all the guests restrained themselves.

If this episode doesn't make some changes, the entire variety show will become a boring competition where whoever spends more money will win, with no suspense.

Once the vicious competition starts, there is no way to stop it. It is a bit like the prisoner's dilemma...

If everyone tacitly agrees not to ask Xu Feng for help, naturally nothing will happen. However, the guests are in competition with each other. How can they be sure that other guests can be so restrained?

If other guests ask Xu Feng to recharge and you don’t go, you will definitely be defeated; but if other guests are more restrained and go to buy it yourself, you can definitely defeat others.

In the end, no matter how you think about it, no matter what the other guests choose, it is in the best interest of the individual to let Xu Feng, the "off-field aid", intervene and help.

Doing this the first time will have a good effect on the show, but if no changes are made the second time, the nature of the entire variety show will be changed.

Liu Wei continued, "Teacher Xu Feng has brought so much joy to our show, how could we make rules specifically to target him? It's not a weakening, it's just that the rules for everyone have been changed."

Du Mian'er, who is firmly in second place, is looking forward to the next challenge: "Sister Liu, please don't keep me in suspense~"

"Tell me quickly, what are the rules of this episode?"

Liu Wei: "First of all, this time the challenge is no longer for each guest to choose the challenge they want to do, but there is a big proposition and a big goal, and the teachers need to find ways to achieve this big goal. Everyone can have different ideas, and in the end we will see who can do it faster and better."

"Understood!"

Wang Chuan then spoke up and gave his own analysis: "So, this time the challenge topic should be relatively broad, and everyone's approach to solving it should be completely different, so it won't lead to too much repetition, right?"

At this time, the guests also walked out of the rooms one after another and went downstairs to the gathering point in the lobby.

"Teacher Wang Chuan is right." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Wei put away her phone and said with a smile, "This time, we plan to let the teachers show their 'commercial value' a little bit."

"Commercial value?!"
