My performance on a breakup reality show brought Tien Hsi-wei to tears, and I became an internet sen

Chapter 84 Everything is Ready

This was Hong Feng's first time meeting Li Shen.

Previously, because Li Shen was recording "Goodbye Lover" around the clock, Hong Feng had been discussing the program and franchise fee with Li Shen online, and the contract was also signed online.

Hong Feng was somewhat surprised when he first met Li Shen.

Li Shen has slightly long hair, deep eyes, a straight and slender figure, and a taciturn personality, giving him the air of a melancholic male god.

You really can't blame netizens for saying that; the style does indeed resemble going to a high-end karaoke bar, something ordered for a female tycoon.

Actually, jokes aside, male models and male celebrities all dress up carefully.

Li Shen, who slowly appeared before him, was completely without makeup!

She looks this good even without makeup; with makeup, she'd definitely be a top idol!

"Hello, Li Shen."

"Director Hong, hello."

"Get in the car quickly, let's not expose ourselves."

Get inside the RV.

Hong Feng looked at Li Shen with a smug smile, feeling as if he had finally grasped a treasure in his hands.

In the past two weeks, who in the entire music industry has been more popular than Li Shen?!

In just two weeks, Li Shen released nearly 10 original songs, leaving the big names in the music industry completely stunned!

If someone in the music industry hasn't heard Li Shen's songs, there's only one reason: they don't have internet access.

The live broadcast of "Goodbye Lovers" started in the middle of the season. It's unclear what other audiences are watching, but music industry professionals are all eagerly awaiting the show!

Especially towards the end of the live stream, you're a musician, don't you watch dating shows? Do you even know the hottest songs right now?

You're a musician and you don't watch dating shows? We have nothing in common!

Some people joke that musicians who don't watch dating reality shows are not professional!

In recent years, original Chinese music has gradually declined. The top singers rarely release songs anymore, and the new generation of singers, such as Mao Rongyi, have all gone on to do variety shows after becoming famous. Therefore, in recent years, high-quality original Chinese music has been very scarce.

Countless netizens exclaimed: Only music truly lives up to the expectations of those born in the 80s and 90s; classic old songs are the true treasures!

Therefore, all the music variety shows in China are currently rehashing old material, with various old songs being sung in a new way.

Hong Feng's team keenly saw the new opportunity, and thus, this highly innovative and challenging program was born.

Original music, public voting, masked performances — all in pursuit of great works that the public loves, and to select the true king of singers!

To produce this program, Commercial Television mobilized the entire station, joined forces with Tencent Video, and invited top singers from all over the country.

However, many singers, upon hearing that the entire network would be live-streaming with live vocals and no auto-tuning, immediately shook their heads and refused to participate.

Some singers are afraid that their carefully constructed image will crumble in front of their fans.

Therefore, the selling points of this program are masked appearances, public voting, original competition, and demystification.

Li Shen, on the other hand, is a relatively easy-going original musician. He did not ask for a franchise fee, but instead proposed a reasonable profit-sharing plan for the program.

This surprised Hong Feng somewhat.

Li Shen had two additional requests.

First, Li Shen hopes that Tian Xiwei will participate.

This was exactly what Hong Feng wanted; the moment when the top sweetheart in the Chinese entertainment industry was revealed was a major highlight of the show.

Secondly, Li Shen suggested that Li Hangliang participate, but this was just a suggestion and not a binding agreement.

There's a slight problem with this. Li Hangliang's singing skills and vocal qualities are actually quite average, but it's not a big issue, and Hong Feng agreed.

Hong Feng suddenly asked, "Li Hangliang, are you really divorced?"

"Yes, we're currently in the cooling-off period."

Three days after the show ended, Li Hangliang and Mai Lin began divorce proceedings.

Then, Mai Lin posted her travel updates on Weibo with the caption: "Divorced, from now on we're both free to do our own thing."

Li Hangliang did not respond to this Weibo post, which is typical of his personality: he doesn't like to show off, he's reserved, and he prefers to be self-consistent.

Hong Feng added, "But once Li Hangliang sings this song, everyone will guess that it's his."

Li Shen nodded.

Li Hangliang is not suitable for competitive stages. His singing skills and vocal qualities would make these big shots look like trash.

Therefore, Li Shen did not want to forcefully promote Li Hangliang on this show.

Li Hangliang only needs to participate in one episode of this program to promote the new song that Li Shen wrote for him, thus achieving the first goal.

Moreover, Li Hangliang doesn't live extravagantly. If he finds a woman who knows how to manage a household, this song would be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

As for Li Hangliang's future development path, it needs to be considered reasonably and in a long-term manner; there's no rush.

Five days have passed since "Goodbye Lovers" ended, and a lot has happened in those five days.

Tian Xiwei plunged into the recording studio, hired a vocal coach, and practiced singing diligently.

Li Hangliang and Mai Lin divorced;

The rapper duo wanted to capitalize on the hype to sell some merchandise, but almost no one placed orders. After a few days, the couple stopped broadcasting.

On the other hand, Yoko has the ability to drive sales and has made a lot of money by capitalizing on the hype.

Huang Shengyi participated in the national tour of a certain stage play;

As for Zhang Ruonan, the "Angel of Love," she frantically created fan clubs for "Living with a Female Celebrity" on various novel reading apps. She basically created one fan club on every platform, determined to become the top fan club member of Li Shen's fan club.

Li Shen's novel, "Living with a Female Celebrity," has been updated to 6 words across various platforms, but he has only received offers from 3 out of more than 30 websites.

One of the editors made it clear that he really liked the content, but it needed to be revised.

He opened the Qidian Chinese website app, went to the book review section, and saw about 40 comments from netizens. Apart from a few malicious attacks, many of them were suggestions from readers.

No matter how well-written a pure romance novel is, editors won't sign it in today's market.

It's undeniably beautiful and sweet, but getting a lucky draw ticket is incredibly difficult.

[Brother, if you want to write a pure romance novel, you have to create a system—a deceptive tactic!]

[I used to be an editor. Looking at the title and synopsis, the moment I opened the text and saw it written in the first person, I immediately rejected it—within five seconds.]

[This is very well written, but I suggest adding a system or a rebirth feature!]

[Aogeili: Why haven't we signed a contract yet? I want to sign! I want to sign!!]

In this life, the Qidian platform is one of the few platforms where unsigned works cannot be tipped.

From the perspective of online novels, the readers' suggestions are very reasonable. Adding a system as a gimmick, a scheme that is deceptive and misleading, or having someone reincarnate and pick up girls are all better solutions.

However, "Living with a Female Celebrity" only utilized online channels; the book is primarily a combination of online and physical publications.

Moreover, Li Shen writes pure love stories!

Although pure love literature is a niche genre, once a work becomes popular, it is bound to become a massive hit.

If there are 1 million readers across the internet, and only 500 million of them enjoy pure romance literature, then this book has the potential to attract all 500 million of them.

The key point is that, given the current vacuum in the pure love literature market, "Living with a Female Celebrity" will dominate the pure love market once it is promoted!

Readers, there are no meal replacements at all!

I, Li Shen, will write the pure love novels that none of you dare to write!

The glory that you had no chance to enjoy, I, Li Shen, will enjoy alone!

As for how to make such a niche genre of pure romance literature popular, other writers are at a loss, but—

Li Shen, yes!

Hong Feng said, "Teacher Li, currently, only I, my assistant Da Han, and driver Lao Zhou know the identity you play on the show. To maintain secrecy, the car that picks you up is different each time."

Li Shen nodded: "Okay."

"Teacher Li, you can change your clothes now!"

"it is good."

"Please do not use your personal cell phone during the program to avoid leaks, but you may use the sponsor's cell phone."

"it is good."

"Once you put on the mask, you can fake your personality, change your way of speaking, and even spout nonsense. The bottom line is one thing: never let anyone guess who you are! Otherwise, you will be unmasked and leave the stage!"

"Okay."

Hong Feng was taken aback. Was he already in the zone?

The costumes provided by the production team were very well done.

Li Shen was dressed as an ancient scholar, wearing a mesh helmet with a voice-changing device inside.

To conceal the singer's identity, the production team even prepared mesh gloves for them, taking into account even the details on their hands.

The car drove into the underground parking garage of Shanghai TV.

"Ms. Li, that girl looking around nervously at the elevator entrance is your agent, Wang Xiaomei, from the show. You can get off now, Ms. Li. Good luck!"

Hong Feng watched Li Shen get out of the car, his eyes full of anticipation.

"The Most Familiar Stranger", "Slowly", "Time Difference" —

In today's world where original music is dwindling, what surprises will this original musician, who has risen rapidly in just two weeks, bring to everyone?

Wait and see.

At the elevator entrance.

Wang Xiaomei looked around, curious about the name of her singer.

Among the singers who arrived early, there were all sorts of strange names, such as "Laugh Out Loud and Everyone Falls Down," "Don't Always Meow Like a Cat," and "Quickly Leave When You See Injustice."

The names of these masked singers are hilarious.

I just don't know what style this artist she is.

She was startled when she saw Li Shen get out of the car.

The guest's attire was not unexpected. However, the words embroidered on the front of the guest's clothes surprised her quite a bit:

"Living with a Female Celebrity"?
