This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 167 Grouping
Normally speaking, the stronger the instructor, the more students will gather under his command.

It's a very simple truth - in future competitions, any normal person, when seeing both a powerful mentor and a not-so-powerful mentor sending him or her an invitation, will generally choose the former.

What's more, in this kind of group competition variety show, there will definitely be team competitions.

A great mentor means great teammates, which means a greater chance of going further in the variety show.

Even if they really have feelings for a certain instructor, most students will still give priority to the one with stronger ability for the sake of their own interests.

For example, Li Xinghuai, based on personal opinion, no one in the entertainment industry probably has any feelings towards Zhou Yanliu, but in the end he still chose to join Zhou Yanliu's camp instead of Bai Yao's camp.

Everyone here, even if we take into account the singer's performance stability rather than peak performance, Xu Feng has the ability to at least be in the top three.

Taking into account his age and his composing ability, the audience generally agrees that Xu Feng should be the most popular mentor.

Maybe even fill out their camp with a first-round pick.

In other words, as long as the students are chosen by Xu Feng, they will basically find no reason to refuse.

But...looking at this big screen, why is Xu Feng's name not on it?
Not only was he not ranked first, his name wasn’t even on the first page!
This ranking of the completeness of the mentor lineup has two pages in total, which means that Xu Feng is not even in the first half.

what's the situation?
The audience was in an uproar, and even the comments were filled with questioning voices.

"Okay, okay! You're targeting my dean again, right?"

"Although I don't like Xu Feng's style, it's a bit strange that he can't even make it to the first page, right?"

"The program team targeted Xu Feng and refused to assign him any talented students?"

"Be careful, my dean will withdraw from the competition!"

"Isn't the lesson that "The God of Tomorrow" taught these people big enough?"

"..."

Looking at the doubts from the audience, the host expressed his feelings about Xu Feng's influence on the crowd and explained, "Ahem! The choice of the camp this time was completely a personal decision made by the mentors and students, without the involvement of the program team!"

This statement is not entirely correct.

But the program team just put one person in Xu Feng's lineup, and they paid him, and Xu Feng himself agreed to it.

The production team of "My Home Court" had long ago decided not to get involved in the disputes between the two sides and to try their best to meet the demands of both sides so as not to offend either side.

God knows why Xu Feng ended up like this!
"Ahem, let's look at page two."

There should have been a little praising session, but the host quickly skipped it and went to the second page.

This time, everyone finally found Xu Feng's name on the screen.

Good news, his name is first on the screen.

The bad news is that it’s ranked last.

And this last-to-last place is not just an ordinary last-to-last place, because after Xu Feng’s name, there is a very eye-catching and conspicuous “0”.

In other words, after two rounds of selection, Xu Feng's camp didn't get anyone.

In comparison, the "2" after Bai Yao's name doesn't seem so eye-catching.

The show "My Home Court" has been held so many times, but this is the first time that someone does not have any students at this stage.

The host had never seen such a scene before, and was already sweating profusely. She quickly turned her head and asked, "Backstage teacher, could you please check if there is any problem with the machine? Did all the students not receive the invitation from Teacher Xu Feng?"

Could it be that the invitation sent by Xu Feng was not sent to the student’s mobile phone due to equipment failure?
Sure enough, all the students on the stage shook their heads, indicating that they had not received any invitation from Xu Feng.

"No problem." Without waiting for the backstage to check the equipment, Xu Feng came out to clarify, "It's not that the equipment is broken, I really didn't send the invitation."

"???"

The excited comments from the students in the audience suddenly quieted down a lot.

"You?! I thought you were being targeted!"

"Okay, okay, I was angry just now."

"I finally stood by you once, but it turns out you were the one who was playing badly. If I continue to support you in the future, I will be a dog."

"Uh, I heard that his second album will be released soon. Are you sure you don't support it?"

"Then I'll be a dog if you support him next time."

"..."

Bai Yao was a little surprised, and leaned over to ask, "Teacher Xu Feng, why don't you choose a student? I'm ready to be beaten, so you don't have to give in."

Girl, your presence is really not that strong... I simply didn't remember who was more powerful, and I couldn't tell who was more powerful, so I couldn't choose.

And you know you are going to be beaten, yet you are still so optimistic?
You won't really place your hopes on me, will you?
"You think too much. I just didn't choose." Xu Feng comforted his teammates.

The other instructors also looked at him with surprise, wondering what this guy was up to.

The host thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped the bottom of the microphone and said, "I know!"

Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the host.

What do you know?

"Teacher Xu Feng is very confident in his own ability." The host found the logic behind Xu Feng's actions. "Perhaps, he wants to tell everyone that truly great mentors are not picky about their students?"

"Even if the students assigned to him are completely random, he has the confidence to lead them to the final stage?"

"Wow... Teacher Xu Feng is really confident! In all the previous programs, it seems that no mentor has ever made such a decision."

"Then let's wait and see how far Teacher Xu Feng can go in the end."

"..."

Bai Yao: "I see... This is the confidence of a talented player!"

However, after saying this, in addition to dampening the excitement of the audience, Xu Feng also felt that the looks from the other mentors were not right towards him.

You are noble and awesome!
You don't pick and choose your students, which makes us all seem inferior to you, right?

In particular, Zhuo Zixuan, a popular singer on the stage, snorted coldly without any concealment.

On the Internet, he has always been very clear about his dislike for Xu Feng... Of course, there is nothing to criticize about Xu Feng's works and singing skills, but they criticize other aspects of him.

For example, disrespecting fans, and scolding Xu Feng's fans for being ignored.

For example, some people scolded Xu Feng for not paying attention to his behavior as a public figure, and for getting in and out of the car with beautiful women without any hesitation, unlike him who kept a polite distance from everyone.

For example, he scolded Xu Feng for being ungrateful, and Lin Shenghuan helped Xu Feng so much, but still talked about money all day long.

For example, some people scold Xu Feng for having no spirit of dedication. He is obviously very talented, but he doesn't want to show his works, and he is still trying to sell them for money.

This set of meddling, self-righteousness and spending money on others has been performed to the extreme.

Lin Shenghuan herself was enjoying it, but he, a man who was not even worthy of talking to Lin Shenghuan, was feeling sorry for the queen.

He also remotely directs Xu Feng on how to release his own songs.

All in all, those comments are disgusting to read.

Zhuo Zixuan shook his head and said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "He has talent but no morals."

"You are talented and virtuous. How about this? Please spend some money to give me some money so that I can release the song in advance. How about that?" Xu Feng smiled and turned to look at this popular singer whose appearance was not as good as his. "It seems that you care about my affairs. Now I give you this opportunity. Do you want to do it?"

Zhuo Zixuan was puzzled: "What does your song have to do with me? Why should I pay you to release it in advance?"

Xu Feng asked back in his tone: "Yes, what does my song have to do with you?"

"..." Zhuo Zixuan was stuck in his own words for several seconds, feeling a little embarrassed. "I didn't care whether you released it or not. I just said that you were stingy for that little bit of money!" Xu Feng nodded and followed his words: "You are right. Then, can you be generous and not care about this little bit of money, so that these songs can be released as soon as possible? As for why I didn't release it, you said it, because I am stingy."

Zhuo Zixuan was dumbfounded.

What the hell... Don't most people try their best to prove that they are not a stingy person? Don't they try their best to restore their image in front of the public?
It’s okay to just admit it directly.

He even kicked the ball back to Zhuo Zixuan.

If Zhuo Zixuan doesn't agree, it means that he is the same kind of person and is not willing to sacrifice his own interests to release the song as soon as possible.

But if I agree, won’t I become the biggest idiot in the world?
Pay a singer you don't like to release an album in advance?
It's not like I'm participating in the profit sharing!
It's purely harming others to benefit oneself, no, it's harming others to benefit the enemy!

By releasing the album in advance, it is Xu Feng who makes money, and he can even earn the money for himself.

As long as he didn't prove himself, Xu Feng would immediately put him in a dilemma.

And Zhuo Zixuan couldn't do much to fight back.

Because Xu Feng is just like that, the audience is used to it, and no matter how many times they scold him for being a money-grubber, it won't hurt or affect him in the slightest.

But Zhuo Zixuan’s own personality is not like this. If Xu Feng’s attack is successful, the loss will not be of the same level at all!

"Ahem!" Just when Zhuo Zixuan was in a dilemma, the host saw that the situation was almost the same and finally came out to smooth things over. "The two teachers have different understandings of the song. We should seek common ground while reserving differences. Both are right, both are right!"

It’s not that the program team favors anyone.

If it was Xu Feng who was embarrassed on the field today, the production team would have suppressed the conflict before it broke out completely.

The show may be effective, but forget about offending people.

If Zhuo Zixuan is really put in a difficult position, he might even act like an idiot and give money to Xu Feng just to maintain his image. Wouldn't that offend people?

Working in the entertainment industry requires social skills.

If the conflict is big, it will be a good show. But if the conflict is too big, it will hurt the harmony.

"Then, the next step is to divide the mentors into groups." The host looked at Xu Feng, who looked nonchalant, and the popular singer whose expression kept changing, and sighed, "This is also the part that everyone is most looking forward to, and it is the most important part of this program."

“Cooperation ability is the theme of “My Home Court”!”

"The mentor group is different from the student group. Once the selection is completed, the mentor group will last until the end of the variety show... So, no matter which teammate you are assigned to, please make sure to manage it well!"

"Well, the drawing of lots begins now!"

Everyone's energy was focused at once.

To be honest, although it is outrageous, many viewers hope to see some disgusting groupings.

For example, if Xu Feng and Zhuo Zixuan were in the same group, it would definitely be a lot of fun.

For example, it would definitely be interesting if Bai Yao and Zhou Yanliu were put in the same group.

Wow…

The names scrolled quickly on the big screen.

Ten seconds later, all the groups appeared on the screen at once.

"Oh... what a pity, I didn't see the happiest group."

"That's good too. Let variety shows return to competitive games instead of all that fighting and palace fighting. I'm really tired of watching it."

"Indeed, it's fine if different groups quarrel with each other, but if they quarrel within the same group, the members will be in real trouble."

"..."

"Zhou Yanliu's group is really strong... Her teammate is a theorist. He is not that strong, but his theoretical level is very high. He can transform something as abstract and subjective as singing skills into a more specific analysis and can come up with a lot of theoretical ideas."

"Indeed, not a great singer, but a great teacher."

"The thing is, Zhou Yanliu is an amazing singer! Don't they complement each other perfectly?"

"That makes sense... The grouping of this show doesn't necessarily have to be based solely on hard skills. If we can complement each other's strengths, it will produce an effect of 1+1 being greater than 2."

"Indeed, if Lin Shenghuan came and put her in the same group with Zhou Yanliu, it would be better to let them fight alone."

"Who is the teammate assigned to that popular singer? It seems he is also a popular singer who sings catchy songs and is more famous than talented? Haha, quite interesting."

"Where is Xu Feng? Who is Xu Feng assigned to?"

"Let me see... Shit, Xu Feng and Bai Yao are assigned to the same group!"

"Huh?! The strongest and the weakest are grouped together?"

“I feel like there’s nothing that they can complement each other with.”

"The most important thing is not this. Look at Li Xinghuai's expression. Hahahaha! Look quickly. It's really exciting!"

"Hahaha! Damn, it seems that those who rejected Bai Yao's invitation are feeling very complicated!"

"Then Bai Yao's only two students were not profitable. They were clearly found by Bai Yao while picking up trash, and they ended up following Xu Feng."

"There's no need to open the champagne so early. Didn't I say before that a genius like Xu Feng may not be suitable to be a mentor... Bai Yao doesn't look that strong either, so their group may not be able to achieve very good results."

"From the paper point of view, it seems that Zhou Yanliu's lineup is really the most powerful."

"My opinion is, don't worry about anything else, trust Dean Xu first, then trust Dean Xu... Anyway, the first round of the competition will be coming soon, so why not just wait and see the result?"

"We can't see it. The official stage is closed for filming..."

The next second, the host smiled and said, "Well, next is the final student allocation, and the official stage, student grading!"

　"Then pray to me, blasphemous nun!"

　　Yilan traveled to the world of the game [Terra] and became a prince of the empire.

　　But he is the prince of a fallen country.

　　If nothing unexpected happened, he would be captured by the enemy country, and because of his handsome appearance, he would be crushed by tanks day and night.

　　Fortunately, Yilan’s game account also arrived.

　　"Has a devourable divine factor been detected?"

　　Yilan decisively ate the god that appeared.

　　[Level 1: Acquire the divine factor of 'The End'. ]

　　[Players are requested to collect divinity and continue to cultivate it. ]

　　……

　　Although he had become a transcendent, how could Yilan, a human being, compete with those gods who had existed for a long time and fight for divinity? !

　　Until one day, Yilan met a nun.

　　She is imbued with divinity and is about to lose herself.

　　Yilan had a good idea.

　　"Poor nun, if you want to recover yourself, then blaspheme your faith and pray to me!"

　　The blasphemous nun bowed her head and lowered her eyebrows, bowing in obeisance.

　　[Detected the masterless divinity, please absorb it. 】
