This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 123 Issues of Principle
Xu Feng glanced at the phone number and did not agree. He asked first, "Excuse me, who are you?"

Although he is a ruthless mercenary who does whatever he is paid for, he is not willing to do any business.

If someone paid him to disrupt the live performance of the variety show "Singer" at this time, Xu Feng would never agree no matter how much money they offered.

Lin Shenghuan allowed himself to perform as well as possible in the second round. It was a normal assignment and there was nothing wrong with it.

If a stranger suddenly comes and asks him to do something in the second round, he must be careful.

"Hello, Mr. Xu Feng. It's like this. The performance order of our company's artists in the second round is similar to yours."

"We see that you don't seem to have any special plans for the second round."

He didn't even mention the name of the company, he was very secretive.

Xu Feng glanced at his display cabinet, sat on the sofa, and said, "Just say it if you have something to say."

"It's like this. We hope you can perform a little better, not so dazzling." The person on the other end of the phone finished speaking, and for fear that Xu Feng would misunderstand, he immediately added, "Everyone already knows your ability. Even if you perform poorly, it will not affect your reputation, but it will have a great impact on our artists."

"We are willing to pay, just tell us a number."

Xu Feng was stunned for a moment.

Give me money to sing worse on purpose?
What kind of commission is this?
In the previous commissions, the employers had to spend money to buy their own skills. At most, the money they spent was not enough, so the service they bought was not that good.

This was the first time Xu Feng had seen someone pay directly for negative services.

After accepting it, can I still let the system give me temporary abilities?
wrong……

Xu Feng shook his head, thinking that this was not the right approach.

His performance was not good enough before, and many people said that he was just trying to be sloppy, but in fact Xu Feng did not give up, even if his level was poor, he was performing seriously.

Paying for negative services feels like it's heading in a vicious direction.

No matter how the system judges, Xu Feng feels that he should not undertake similar business and cannot cross this bottom line.

"I'm sorry, I don't accept this kind of commission." Xu Feng refused, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

The other party was a little surprised to hear Xu Feng's straightforward refusal: "Wait a minute... Teacher Xu Feng already has a commission and can't accept it, or does he not want to accept it?"

Hey, logically speaking, people like Xu Feng who love money, don't care about face, don't want women or resources are the easiest to conquer!
Why was I rejected right away?
He was rejected without even mentioning the price. There were only two possibilities - either the position was taken, or Xu Feng himself didn't want to.

Judging from Xu Feng’s recent performance, perhaps it is the former?
It can be seen from the fact that Xu Feng refused all service requests from Xiao Yue after taking Lin Shenghuan's order that he is indeed very professional.

You don't have to worry about being backstabbed when working with him.

So, it is most likely the former... What a pity that we are a step late.

Xu Feng didn't know how the other party had misunderstood the matter, so he replied casually: "I can't answer it and I don't want to answer it, so just hang up."

After saying that, Xu Feng hung up the phone and went to bed.

On the other end of the phone, the rejected singer's agent shook his head at his colleague with a regretful expression on his face.

In fact, the emergence of stars like Xu Feng has made people in the traditional entertainment industry somewhat wary - he has a strong personality, is uncontrollable, has no black material, is not afraid of gossip, has outstanding abilities, and methods such as banning him are all ineffective.

This already has the potential to become a top superstar.

Why is it becoming increasingly difficult for the entertainment industry to produce truly top-notch superstars in recent years? Because the emergence of such stars is sometimes not necessarily a good thing for the company.

The training period is long and the training cost is huge, and once they become successful, they can easily escape from the company's control.

Because traditional stars follow the traditional path of producing works, using the works to accumulate popularity and traffic, and then monetizing the traffic.

But when a star has produced many good works and accumulated enough reputation, it will not be so easy for the company to control him.

Either the contract is more favorable, or we break up.

The changes in the new era of media have allowed celebrities to completely skip the middle process - they no longer need to spend huge amounts of time to accumulate traffic through their works.

This road is too long.

It is better to directly create a fan circle and generate traffic, skip the tedious and complicated process in the middle, and start monetizing in one step.

The most important thing is that these stars are heavily packaged and become traffic stars who make money by selling their personalities.

As long as you are a little better looking and have more traffic, even a pig can take off.

Therefore, it is much easier for companies to control them than traditional stars.

If the traffic is cut off, or something happens that causes a "collapse", this traffic star will be completely ruined.

Without solid works to support it, once it fades out of the audience's sight, it will take less than half a year for it to go from being a top star to being out of fashion.

When walking in public, when being interviewed, and when interacting with other people, you must be very careful to avoid a public relations crisis caused by a single word.

Xu Feng and Lin Shenghuan, two traditional singers who rely on their works, can openly and without hesitation go in and out of various public places together, arm in arm.

Xu Feng can also freely interact with fans like Cheng Luan and make many outrageous remarks on stage... Although many people curse him on the Internet, it has almost no negative impact on Xu Feng's career.

Because he can write "Blue and White Porcelain" and he can sing "You Once" almost perfectly during live performances. Others have their own lives and friends, and who they want to contact has nothing to do with others.

Fans don't even have the right to point fingers at Xu Feng - because he has never used any means to make money from fans so far.

In comparison, Lin Shenghuan is not as uncontrollable as Xu Feng. At least she needs to find a professional team to make a song.

Xu Feng is really someone who can completely rely on himself and doesn't care about any other forces at all... Sometimes other forces even need to ask Xu Feng for help to do something.

Fortunately, Xu Feng is difficult to control this and that, but he has no resistance to money.

Many people in the traditional entertainment industry have a love-hate relationship with him.

However, after this phone call, they suddenly realized a fact - not only them, but other colleagues would also take action against Xu Feng!

Xu Feng is just one person and can only participate in one or two variety shows at the same time, but there may not be only one or two entertainment companies that come to him for this purpose.

Another meaning of good work ethic is that first come, first served.

Even if latecomers raise the price, they cannot rush to grab the order or cut in line.

"If you want to ask Xu Feng for help in the future, you must do it as soon as possible..."

"Indeed, I don't know who got there first this time. We have to be earlier next time."

"It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have any reservation service there."

"That's enough. Ever since he entered the entertainment industry, I feel like everyone's style has changed."

"You are young and don't understand... In this circle, things that can be solved by spending money are not a big deal at all."

"If you change someone, if you don't have connections, you won't even have the chance to pay someone to do something for you. You can't even get through to him on the phone, do you understand?"

……

The next day, Xu Feng got up early and stretched comfortably.

"I don't have anything to do today. I feel so empty all of a sudden." Xu Feng, who suddenly had some free time, was actually a little uncomfortable with the idle life. "I'll have breakfast and see what to do today."

"How about going fishing with little bird sister?"

It just so happens that today is the weekend, and the fishing rod was given to me by someone else, so I might as well go fishing and show my skills to my loyal fans!

Xu Feng did what he said. He took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Cheng Luan: "Little Bird Sister, the fishing rod is very good. Are you interested in going fishing together?"

Cheng Luan didn't sleep in either, she agreed very quickly: "Okay! When and where?"

As a new fisherman, Xu Feng had already found a place and sent the address to Cheng Luan.

"Okay, I'll come pick you up later! I'll change my clothes, Brother Xu Feng, please wait for me for a while."

Xu Feng rinsed his mouth and washed his face, took out his brand new fishing gear, and replied in voice: "Okay, call me when you get there."

After saying that, Xu Feng set the alarm for one hour and went to bed for a nap.

With Cheng Luan's personality and gorgeous outfit, it would take her at least an hour to get dressed before going out.

Including the time it took to drive here...tsk.

Anyway, I have prepared everything. When she arrives, she can just pick up her things and go downstairs without wasting a minute.

Sure enough, it was an hour and a half later that Xu Feng received the message from Cheng Luan.

But when I went downstairs, I saw that the little bird sister was wearing a black and white outfit, a glittering Swiss lace shirt with a herringbone skirt made of double crepe fabric, and bright star earrings on her earlobes and white thin socks that go over her knees...

With her perfect figure...

Xu Feng still felt that there was nothing wrong with taking more than an hour to dress up.

It is indeed very pleasing to the eyes.

She is a completely different type of beauty from Sister Huan.

"You're dressed like this, aren't you afraid of getting dirty?" Xu Feng asked as he got into the car. "The fishing environment isn't that good."

"Just be careful." The smile on Cheng Luan's face was much more natural and sincere than yesterday afternoon. "Let's go and see how good you are, Brother Xu Feng."

"Speaking of which, in that challenge, did you really catch the fish by your own strength?"

Xu Feng was stunned: "Has the first episode been released?"

"It's out!" Cheng Luan really wanted to see what was in Xu Feng's mind. "You really don't care about your own business at all!"

"Well, it's a bit of luck." Xu Feng said shamelessly, "But I think I can do it with my strength."

As soon as I reached the river, a fish jumped out. It would be a lie to say that it was all due to my own strength.

"Then I'll wait for Brother Xu Feng's performance." Cheng Luan said, and suddenly thought of something, "Oh, by the way, the company received a commission yesterday that didn't look like a joke. I'll show it to you later?"
