This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 163 Neither you nor I are the traitor, so who is it?

After a few minutes of discussion, Zhou Yanliu finally got the answer.

“The specific rules have not yet been determined, but the general direction has been determined.”

Cheng Luan maintained his concise and brief style of replying: "What's the general direction?"

I'm down and out...even my fans can talk to me like this.

If it were during her prime, Zhou Yanliu would definitely not give him a good face, but now is different. With little savings, she can only hold back her temper for now: "You know Xu Feng's ability. Although his and Lin Shenghuan's personalities are not very good, they are very strong."

"It's not that I can't beat him, it's just that I've been busy with other things recently and haven't been able to fully adjust to the state."

"In order to limit his performance, the variety show does not plan to let him become a singing contestant directly this time, but to make him a mentor, just like the mentor in "Tomorrow's Singer"."

Like the mentor in "Tomorrow's Singer"...

Cheng Luan and Xu Feng looked at each other.

This is quite important information.

Xu Feng thought about it and said, "However, how can this show trick me, or how can it show that she is better than me? Is it possible to rely on malicious editing in the show?"

There are too many malicious editings in variety shows, such as secretly changing the time sequence, taking things out of context, deliberately not giving shots, etc.

It’s easy to praise or step on anyone you want.

Becoming a mentor makes me even more invincible.

Contestants can be eliminated, but mentors cannot be eliminated.

Just like Lin Shenghuan in the later stages of "The God of Tomorrow's Singer", when he didn't have any contestants left, he was still able to participate in the scoring.

In hindsight, it really didn't have much impact on her reputation.

"It's definitely not as simple as 'Tomorrow's Singer'." Cheng Luan shook his head, "The mentor form, when it comes to your students, will probably start from this aspect."

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, Cheng Luan casually said a few words to Zhou Yanliu and logged out of the account she never wanted to log into again.

Cheng Luan plugged in the phone and said, "My guess is that they want to use variety shows to create a conclusion that she is better than you, and then cooperate with the offensive in public opinion to dig up any negative information about you that can be found at random, and use the method of stepping on one and praising the other to make Zhou Yanliu complete her comeback."

"Instead of clearing herself, it's better to discredit others - as long as she can defeat you, as long as she can prove to you that Xu Feng is not a good person, then she will succeed, right?"

"Anyway, those photos are just photos. There is no relevant certification issued by domestic professional institutions. As long as we divert our attention, these claims will soon be forgotten."

Xu Feng relaxed his shoulders: "How can those of mine be called black material?"

These are all normal things, okay!
From his debut till now, he has never done anything out of line.

Cheng Luan sighed: "Many normal things that ordinary people do are indeed black spots when they are put on celebrities, but your fans are more accepting of it."

Of course, that's fine too.

Generally speaking, it is absolutely impossible for stars and fans to have such close contact.

If it were any other star, especially a traffic idol, his reputation would have collapsed long ago.

If that were the case, how could she get close to Brother Xu Feng so easily?

……

A few hours later, the plane landed at the airport, and the two people who had played together for a whole week finally said goodbye at the gate of the community.

"I'll take you here." Xu Feng waved his hand and yawned faintly, "Let's contact each other if there's anything."

"be careful on the road."

After returning to his familiar home, Xu Feng lay down on the big bed, planning to watch some trashy short dramas on his phone to help him fall asleep.

After relaxing for a while, it’s time to continue taking orders.

"I'm really addicted to this skit... Can you ask Little Bird to give me a privilege to watch it for free? It costs dozens of dollars to watch one, which is too scary."

This price is comparable to watching a big production in a big cinema.

No wonder it’s so profitable!
While complaining in his heart, Xu Feng suddenly saw a text message and a message sent to him almost at the same time.

"Card with the last digit xxxx, income of RMB 234000.00, the other party's account name: Luohe Meishayong Technology Co., Ltd., the other party's account last digit..."

Little Bird Sister: "Brother Xu Feng, this is the income from the first phase of the short play, your share of the dividends... Don't think it's too little, this is just the first payment, and the production cost of this thing is not high, but the operating cost is not low. If you watch short videos recently, you should be able to see our short play more or less, right?"

Xu Feng didn't care much about the economic issues between him and Cheng Luan, and said generously: "It's okay, just follow the contract."

Anyway, 90% of the money will be taken away by the system in the end.

Just now, Xu Feng opened his bank card, and as expected, a text message showed that more than 23 yuan had been deposited into his account, but in reality it was only more than yuan.

As soon as Xu Feng exited the chat box with Cheng Luan, he saw that Lin Shenghuan had sent another message.

You two, you really never stop...

Sister Huan, where do you get so much gossip to share all day long? How long have you been apart?
However, the following information made Xu Feng sit up straight.

"Handsome Xu, what's going on? Why is Zhou Yanliu so arrogant now? She's saying everywhere that her big brother is still supporting her and that she's going to come back like lightning soon?!"

"It sounds so convincing. If I didn't know her best friend, I would have almost believed it..."

Xu Feng: “Huh?!”

"I've given you the link, go check it out. [link]"

Xu Feng clicked on the link with a strong desire to have fun.

The person who posted it was actually Zhou Yanliu’s real account!
This is the account that was labeled “Banned” not long ago.

Now it’s unblocked.

It clearly showed a post, which was published only a dozen minutes ago.

"Dear fans, long time no see. I am Zhou Yanliu. Did you miss me? Thank you to all the fans, especially Brother Chengzi for your continued support. Thank you!"

"I will meet you all in a surprising place soon. Please look forward to "My Home" on the xx platform!"

"Regarding my absence during this period, as well as some rumors circulating on the Internet, I will clarify them one by one. Please do not believe in rumors or spread them. The Internet is not a place for lawlessness. I will reserve all avenues for legal action."

Under this post, all the comments are from low-quality internet trolls.

The abusive comments have long been pushed to an unknown place.

"This person is really daring to flatter himself." Xu Feng casually flipped through the updates, "I can see that Little Bird's interest is not particularly high, so I just posted a message, on the one hand to express the importance of this number one on the list to everyone, on the other hand to subtly confirm the matter of 'support'."

As long as the subsequent whitewashing is reasonable and more coaxing and praising are done, generally speaking, the previous die-hard fans can be coaxed back.

This was obviously Zhou Yanliu's plan.

I have to say, the abacus is really loud.

"If she knew that her beloved number one on the list, Brother Cheng, had already defected to the enemy and even became the number one on the other side, how upset would she be?"

…While the trio was enjoying the benefits, the other participants in this matter were not having it so easy.

Especially the office of the "My Home" program production team.

After some wrangling, the name of this variety show was finally decided, and the selection of singers and stars was almost complete, with only some details of the rules left to be dealt with.

But at this moment, none of them were dealing with work, but staring at the mobile phone screens with disbelief on their faces.

"Who the hell is the traitor?!"

"No, we just came up with a name here, and my team members don't even know it yet. How come it spread all over the internet?"

"Fuck, will they dare to know the news earlier than me next time?"

"Very good, very good. Our production team didn't get the news as fast as Weibo did. This is great."

"Who threw the news out in advance? We need to check the situation."

The fact that Internet users knew the name of the variety show earlier than the program staff is a very abstract hellish joke in itself.

If you really don't check it out, you can be almost 100% sure that you will make a fool of yourself later.

To be honest, these grassroots workers in the entertainment industry usually have access to information that others cannot access, and some channels that normal fans cannot access, so it is normal for them to use them to monetize.

Although a confidentiality contract was signed, it is completely foreseeable that people will take risks as long as there is profit.

Some things don't weigh more than 4 ounces if they are not weighed, but they weigh more than 1,000 kilograms if they are weighed.

This time...it was obviously too much.

If the incident becomes known to everyone, how will the program crew save face? How will they answer when the investors ask them questions?
"Stop talking nonsense and check it out!"

"The problem is, this thing can't be found out in a short time, right?"

"Yeah... There are so many people who know about our plan. We can't just hand over their phones and look through their chat records one by one, right? There will be no privacy at all then?"

"That's all secondary. What if we really find out something?"

"..."

"Uh, guys, I don't think we need to check."

"How to say?"

"You can check Weibo and you'll probably know."

Open Weibo and take a look...

The staff of the program team looked at each other, took out their mobile phones and opened Weibo, and then they all noticed those very conspicuous hot searches.

#Bad artist Zhou Yanliu is about to make a comeback! #
#Zhou Yanliu said there was something fishy about that photo#
#《My Home》#
After reading this, how can you still not know the whole story?

To be honest, many people within the company had already raised objections to inviting Zhou Yanliu, an artist with a bad record, to the show.

There's no other reason, the risk is just too great.

Although there is no solid evidence that can force the authorities to punish Zhou Yanliu, the nature of this person is really too bad.

However, for many decision-making matters, the executive level’s words do not count.

Perhaps because too much money was given, Zhou Yanliu's name was on the list sent down in the end.

They even set up a consulting team to help with the rules of some segments of the variety show. It is said that they are from the production team of "The God of Tomorrow's Singing".

This made them even more unhappy.

A program team with a terrible reputation that has ruined a good hand can also be their consultant?

Of course, thinking about their superiors’ incredible actions, they also felt that it was not necessarily their responsibility to ruin the variety show…

"I've said it before, don't let people like Zhou Yanliu touch our variety show. The show hasn't even started yet, and she's already causing trouble for us."

"Forget it, forget it... The selection is a decision made by the higher-ups. We, ah, luckily didn't leak any important information. We should just reveal less to them in the future."

"So annoying... By the way, don't we still have two groups of mentors to confirm? How are you going to choose?"

After finding the traitor and realizing that they were powerless to do anything about him, the production crew could only sigh and return to their posts.

They put a lot of thought into the setting up of this variety show and have high expectations.

From the wording, we can tell that the instructors also divide the groups into teams!

He is not just an ordinary mentor on variety shows!
The competition between the mentor groups is far more intense than that in other music variety shows, and is no less exciting than the competition between the students.

This is the biggest highlight of their variety show - the mentors are not just vases sitting in their seats, but are also an important part of the climax of the variety show!
"How about we get Sister Huan over here? Didn't she just finish her concert recently?"

A director shook his head and said, "It's a good choice, but we don't have that much money on hand right now... Besides, we already have big names in our show, and it would be a waste of traffic and money to hire another one."

"What about Xiao Yue? If you find her now, the price-performance ratio should be good."

Director He Chen shook his head: "Inviting Zhou Yanliu is already a big enough pressure from public opinion, and adding Xiao Yue... Even the Gu breeding farm doesn't do this."

"Then..."

"I asked, but there is no schedule..."

"..."

In the office, names came up one by one and were rejected one by one.

The setting of a mentor group also needs to take into account the issue of "balance"... A strong mentor naturally needs to be paired with a weaker partner.

Until the advisory team, who had not spoken since joining, suddenly interrupted, "How about inviting Xu Feng? We have all seen his performance as a contestant. Everyone should be curious about how he will perform as a mentor, right?"

Xu Feng...

The other staff members of the production team did not refute.

This candidate is indeed not bad.

It has popularity, program effects, and strong strength... The most important thing is that, according to him, even the "service content" can be customized.

Although many people at the top hate him to death, for the grassroots executors, this name does not make them feel annoyed or alert.

"Okay, then contact him. Just go to their official website. It's convenient to place an order there."

"Ah... what the hell is the order? If you don't know, you would think we are ordering takeout."

"Hey, I remember they launched an insurance business. Do you want to bring one to our show? I always feel that Zhou Yanliu is not safe. Anyway, the premium is not expensive. How about buying one just in case?"

"I feel like that's OK."

"...Is this still the entertainment industry? Where did you bring us, Xu Feng?"
