This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 172 I've scolded you, so you can't scold me anymore

More than ten minutes later, the only people left in the practice room were Xu Feng, who was leisurely playing with his phone and chatting with big stars and die-hard fans, and Bai Yao, who was busy nearby and almost had sweat on her forehead from exhaustion.

It’s not that Xu Feng was slacking off, but after a brief exchange with the students, Xu Feng found that the most efficient approach was for him to provide ready-made materials and for Bai Yao to explain.

She really is like a teacher who teaches seriously - although she cannot compare with the genius student Xu Feng in the ability to answer college entrance examination questions, but when it comes to analyzing songs, her ability is really amazing.

Although these short ten minutes may not necessarily translate into effective performance on the field, the students' mentality has been completely stabilized.

Moreover, the song segments that each student was responsible for were adjusted again by Bai Yao.

It’s hard to expect to sing well, but at least don’t make mistakes.

After watching the last student leave the practice room, Xu Feng lazily asked, "How about it, what do you think we can get this time?"

No matter how well the tutor performs, it will have no impact on the group ranking.

What results the students will get in the first round will depend on their performance.

Bai Yao sat down next to Xu Feng breathlessly and replied, "I'm not sure... It depends on the performance of other groups, but I don't think they will get a particularly high ranking."

"It's okay. Every failure is a learning experience. This time it was my fault." Xu Feng admitted frankly that it was his own misjudgment. "It's a strategic problem, easy to solve."

While the two were chatting, the first group of students gave speeches on the screen.

The two mentors who had the power to grade also looked at each other, left the practice room through a special passage, and sat on the judges' seats.

Sitting on Xu Feng’s left was Bai Yao, and on his right was Zhou Yanliu.

To be honest, the two didn't have much conflict in the past...but everyone could see Zhou Yanliu's blatant hostility towards Xu Feng.

Instead, her previous gloomy mood disappeared, and she seemed to have regained her confidence.

Bai Yao whispered, "Teacher Xu Feng, they seem to have realized that the instructor's performance does not equal the final ranking... Look at Zhou Yanliu, she's actually starting to get complacent!"

Xu Feng didn't care: "Anyway, she didn't beat me in the mentor competition. As for teaching people, I don't think she can have any positive image."

The sound was not loud, but it was just loud enough for the two people next to him to hear clearly.

Sure enough, Zhou Yanliu's expression suddenly turned ugly.

"Hahaha!"

While the two were chatting, the first group of students had already exchanged greetings on the stage and were ready to perform.

Everyone on the field was also looking forward to their performance... Although it was only the first round of the competition, it was more or less possible to see the level of the tutor group and the potential of the students.

Surprisingly, whether it was Xu Feng's team that won first place in the mentor group, or Zhou Yanliu's team that won second place, the students did not choose to appear in a prominent order.

They are quite conservative...

Therefore, the team that appeared in the first round was the one consisting of the two popular singers.

It’s just… the singing doesn’t seem to be that good.

Their two mentors were just so-so to begin with, and the students sang even worse?

Xu Feng subconsciously glanced at Bai Yao, the master of theory.

"Why do you look so good?"

Bai Yao smiled cunningly: "Because it seems that our team will not have to be at the bottom..."

Indeed, the singing of this group of people is not very good at first listen.

The song selection was also very average - after all, the two of them couldn't come up with any good songs together, and even if they came up with the best song, it was just barely at the level of "not bad to listen to".

The song is not very good, the instructor is not very good, and the students can't change their fate.

Soon, the song was over. There was a lot of applause from the audience, but the expressions of the mentors on the stage were not very good.

The host picked up the microphone and coughed softly: "Thank you for the contestants' performance... Then, it's time for the mentors' comments. Mentors, please start your own scoring."

After giving the scores, there are naturally the comments that everyone likes to see the most.

In similar variety shows and similar stages, I don’t know how many mentors have scolded their students to tears.

I wonder if it will happen this time?

I wonder how Xu Feng, who is usually so cruel to his colleagues and fans, would criticize others?
In the past, Xu Feng always stood in the audience and was pointed at by others. Now he finally has the opportunity to point fingers at others. I wonder what fun it will be?

What's more, this is someone else's team, and it's the team of a mentor who doesn't get along with him.

The first to comment were naturally the students' own mentors, the two popular singers.

Zhuo Zixuan's expression was not very good: "You sing like this, are you worthy of the national connoisseurs, are you worthy of the dreams in your hearts? Think about it carefully!"

"I'm very disappointed. Everyone's performance was not good. It was like they were sleepwalking. If you don't adjust quickly, all of you will be eliminated soon."

"Go back... You are singing for your own future, not for me. Think carefully about how to go in the future!"

As mentors of this group, they were unable to give grades to their students at this stage.

After giving their comments, the two popular singers pressed the mute button and said nothing more.

Anyway, they are mentors and can pass the blame.

After the two popular singers finished their comments, several other mentors expressed their opinions. Some were more tactful, but most of the criticisms were sharp.

Soon, the light on Zhou Yanliu's seat lit up.

This meant it was her turn to comment.

Zhou Yanliu just glanced at the students on the stage, and then said coldly: "I don't know how you got on this stage. If it weren't for the program team's rules, I think all of you should be eliminated now."

After saying that, she also pressed the mute button.

Next, it was Xu Feng's turn to speak.

Most of the previous comments were focused on the students - the impolite mentors would directly say that the singing was bad, while the more polite mentors would simply say where the singing was not good and where the problem lies.

They are indeed right.

Several singers who were not good at handling stress even had red eyes while forcing smiles.

If the camera hadn't been pointed at them, many people might have lost their footing by now.

There were only a few hours between her sweeping the field and overcoming all obstacles to get on the stage, and being criticized unceremoniously by all the mentors.

The drop was so huge, it was like being thrown from the sky to the ground.

At this time, many singers suddenly realized that those who could stand on this stage with them were all masters selected from thousands of people, just like them.

Failure is normal.

And the losers will not receive any praise...even though many people feel that the failure is not entirely the fault of the students.

It's a difficult song to sing and not very nice to listen to. No matter who tries to sing it, it will be a loss.

However, few people care about their feelings.

The tutors' swearing and the students' breakdown are all things the audience loves to see.

It’s just a variety show, not a serious awards competition.

Everyone also wanted to hear what Xu Feng would say.

Will you just make a few random remarks like before, or follow up with a few criticisms, or just give the score without saying a word?

Xu Feng fiddled with the microphone, thought for a moment, and said, "I think what the previous teachers said is generally correct... but it seems that everyone has overlooked the most important issue."

The host's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "What does Teacher Xu Feng want to say?"

Most people were prepared to wait for Xu Feng to say something unique like "Why should I comment on you if you don't pay me?"

The result is actually a surprise?

Xu Feng glanced at the two popular singers who looked unhappy, and while scoring on the scoreboard at hand, he said casually: "First of all, due to financial reasons, I can't say the specifics... But I think there is another very important factor for the unsatisfactory performance just now."

The host ignored the first half of the sentence and asked, "What is it?"

"I think the song selection plays a big part in it." Xu Feng is not a generous person. Since Zhuo Zixuan has shown hostility towards him before, Xu Feng naturally would not indulge him.

Anyway, if his team members perform poorly later, Zhuo Zixuan will probably not be polite.

If you are going to be attacked from all sides, it is better to launch an attack in advance.

Instead of torturing yourself with internal friction, it is better to disgust others.

Xu Feng continued, "The quality of the songs selected by the first group of students was not particularly high. To put it bluntly, if they sang well, it wouldn't be considered good, and if they sang badly, it would be a disaster... The final performance was like this, which was not unexpected."

"Singing, singing, is not just about singing, the song is also very important, and its importance is not less than singing."

"How to choose a song that suits your students based on their strengths is the most important thing and also the responsibility of a mentor."

The host was almost scared: “…”Ah this!

Can this be said directly?

In previous programs... No, even in other variety shows, it is difficult for real conflicts to break out between mentors.

There are differences in status among the mentors, but at least on this stage, everyone’s status is equal.

At most, it's just a difference in concepts...

It is very rare for a tutor to accuse another tutor of being incompetent!
As expected of Xu Feng, he is so bold to say that.

Sure enough, after this sentence, the atmosphere in the entire variety show scene froze - including the hosts invited by the program team to the audience, who all forgot their job content.

After a while, the host swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "What does Teacher Xu Feng mean?"

Xu Feng reached out and pressed the button to send the scores. "What I mean is, why did the students who performed so well just now become like this in just a few hours? They have their own reasons, but this part of the reason is not comprehensive."

"We always say that we shouldn't look for reasons or excuses on others, but think about it, how important is the selection of songs?"

This is indeed the case. No matter how talented Lin Shenghuan is, if she doesn't have good songs, she will most likely be defeated by people who are worse than her.

But the problem is...if it's a problem with song selection, doesn't that mean it's a problem with the instructor of this group of students?

Because the song selection is done by the mentors, and these two popular singers have already chosen the best songs in their music library!

Isn't this equivalent to attacking Zhuo Zixuan? Isn't this equivalent to denying Zhuo Zixuan?

One mentor directly attacked another mentor?

And it was such a blatant attack.

Zhuo Zixuan couldn't help it this time: "Xu Feng, what do you mean?"

"If you're willing to spend a little money, I can sing this song again, and even help you change it." Xu Feng said with a smile, "Then you'll understand what I mean better."

Why does it feel so good to let go of myself?
If you have strong works, you will be confident.

"you……"

"Ahem!" The host quickly interrupted the quarrel that was about to break out, "Next, let's take a look at the score given by Teacher Xu Feng... Well, it's about the same as the scores given by the previous teachers, just a little bit higher."

"It seems that our teacher Xu Feng has a sharp tongue but a soft heart!"

"Then next, please welcome Teacher Bai Yao..."

"..."

Zhuo Zixuan sat on the chair, his five fingers tightly gripping the armrests. In his extreme anger, he really felt a little regretful for the first time.

Why did you have to say that bad words and provoke Xu Feng at that time?

Different from those singers who are completely immersed in their own circle, Zhuo Zixuan occasionally pays attention to the impressions of passers-by on him.

The most common ones are extreme sarcasm like "Are you really a singer?" and "I think I am".

What this means is that he is just a traffic star disguised as a singer.

It was not until the song just came out, coupled with the agency's vigorous promotion, that Zhuo Zixuan was able to barely have a "work" to back him up.

I was finally able to speak with a little more confidence.

However, just now, Xu Feng directly denied his song... Doesn't that mean he is denying him as a person?

This is more unacceptable than rubbing salt into the wound.

What’s even more disheartening is that what Xu Feng said is right… At least, Xu Feng can crush him with just one of his works.

When someone is stronger than you and mocks you without any scruples, it is really frustrating and infuriating.

"Don't worry."

At this time, Zhuo Zixuan's partner held his shoulder and whispered something.

"Have you forgotten? We just analyzed it. If Xu Feng's song is given to his students to sing, they will definitely not be able to sing it well."

Zhuo Zixuan was stunned, and the extreme frustration and depression in his heart eased a little.

Yes!

Xu Feng attacks others like this, but what about himself?

Isn't it the same?
Given the difficulty of that song, Zhuo Zixuan just tried to sing it briefly, but even he couldn't control it.

Not to mention the students.

Let’s see what he has to say when the members of his own group don’t perform well!
"Let him be arrogant for a while..."

Zhuo Zixuan was filled with anger as he looked at the final results of his group on the screen - most of the people were thrown directly into Group D, and the best performing student only got a B.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire army was wiped out.

……

The host picked up the microphone and exhaled lightly: "Then, please invite the group of teachers Zhou Yanliu and Lei Zhihui to the stage."

Soon, a team that looked very nervous and tense walked onto the stage.

After completing the process, I finished singing Zhou Yanliu's song.

Overall good, except a little bit uncomfortable.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that, although Zhou Yanliu's group performed very well and was leading the traffic groups by a wide margin, the atmosphere within the group did not seem to be that good.

No one looked very happy. Even after the singing, they still felt like they had survived a disaster and did not feel very happy.

Anyway...it's very depressing.

"..."

Zhou Yanliu was actually very satisfied with the team members' performance, but she still said stiffly: "It's barely acceptable, but there is a lot of room for improvement. Don't be too complacent, and reflect seriously when you go back."

A performance like this, which can overwhelm the opponent without overshadowing herself, is the most perfect performance in her mind.

Finally, seeing the good scores of 3A, 1C and other students all got B, Zhou Yanliu looked at Xu Feng with great pride.

There’s no show now!
The next show will be the performance of Xu Feng’s group. Let’s see how good he is!

I guess the people in their group are already pale as hell at this moment!

However, a few minutes later, when the members of Xu Feng's group walked onto the stage, Zhou Yanliu found that their mental state was not as tense as she had imagined.

On the contrary, it is quite relaxing.

Could it be... a hidden trick? !

Zhou Yanliu and Zhuo Zixuan looked at the stage nervously and listened to their entire performance attentively.

The more he listened, the more confused his face became.

To be honest, the singing was okay, much better than the disastrous performance they had imagined, but it was limited to "no mistakes in singing", which was not a big deal.

It is true that they are better than the group of popular stars, but they are definitely not as good as Zhou Yanliu's group.

So they are still so relaxed?

That was Xu Feng's team. How many people had high hopes for Xu Feng's team? How could they still relax after performing like this?

Forget it... No matter what they are up to, this performance is enough for them to criticize.

Zhuo Zixuan can't wait any longer.

Even if his team's performance was not as good as others, it would not stop him from using the same rhetoric that Xu Feng used to attack him back!
Let’s see how Xu Feng responds then.

If double standards were played on such an important occasion, it might be a good excuse to launch a public opinion offensive, and it is not impossible for Xu Feng's reputation to be ruined.

On the stage, the host waited for the last syllable to fall, picked up the microphone and walked onto the stage.

"Thank you for your performances, contestants... Then, as usual, let your own mentor groups give their comments and opinions first."

"Please welcome Teacher Xu Feng, please welcome Teacher Bai Yao."

Xu Feng used his eyes to signal Bai Yao not to worry, and pressed the speak button first, saying: "Even though you are my student, I must say that this performance... is not particularly ideal."

"But...I am also partly responsible for my students' performance."

Xu Feng looked at the stunned eyes around him and smiled slightly.

Hey, I knew someone wanted to scold me.

I cursed myself first. I have said everything you can say. Now you can’t curse me anymore.
