This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 183 Plan
"In the end, both teachers scored 90 points! Congratulations!"

One point behind Zhou Yanliu's performance...

But Xu Feng was not surprised, because Bai Yao also participated in the singing of this song. Her performance in that part was not bad, but obviously not as good as Xu Feng's.

If Xu Feng sang this song alone, the score would probably be higher.

Surpassing Zhou Yanliu is not a problem.

But... the company behind him paid Xu Feng to train Bai Yao, so Xu Feng would not blame his partner.

There is nothing wrong with the clients who give money, the mistake is that you are not strong enough.

However, after seeing this score, Bai Yao felt a little guilty. She whispered, "I'm sorry, Teacher Xu Feng, I'm holding you back."

"It doesn't matter. The instructor's score doesn't mean much." Xu Feng replied in a low voice, "The most important thing is to see how the students perform."

"Having said that...I still have to apologize."

"..."

After the formal remarks, the host picked up the microphone and continued, "Well, now I would like to ask all the instructors to help the students master the songs as well as possible within the next two hours."

"Let's move on to the most exciting group competition!"

This is the advantage of variety show editing over live broadcast - if the scene of each group practicing songs for 2 hours was broadcast live, it would definitely be boring and the ratings would definitely drop.

But it doesn’t make sense if there is no practice at all - even if it’s just memorizing the lyrics, it still takes a certain amount of time.

The edited version does not have such concerns.

The program team can give students enough time to practice and edit out the most exciting parts.

The only ones who had a hard time were the audience members who bought tickets for the show.

Of course... during this time they can also leave their seats and relax in the rest and entertainment area specially provided for the audience in the venue.

"Then, teachers, please take a short break and return to your practice rooms. The countdown will start promptly in five minutes!"

"..."

When leaving her seat, Zhou Yanliu looked at her own score of 91 and the 90 points right behind it on the scoreboard, and her expression did not look very good.

It was a narrow win, and the gap was too small.

The 1-point difference can entirely be attributed to Bai Yao.

But... at least I won.

As long as the result is winning, she and the team behind her, who have a stronger control over the public opinion field, can pull it off.

The only question is...is the public opinion offensive really useful to Xu Feng?

After suppressing the doubts in her heart, Zhou Yanliu stood up, glanced at Xu Feng, and walked towards her practice room without saying a word.

The remaining task of teaching people will be left to Lei Zhihui.

She was unwilling to do such a thing anyway.

Zhou Yanliu pushed open the door of practice room No. 1. The entire practice room was almost in a state of autism.

All the students had either ugly or complicated expressions.

There was absolutely no joy for the tutor who got first place and had the first choice and ranking right.

But Zhou Yanliu didn't care. After a brief eye contact with Lei Zhihui, she walked to her room alone and contacted the people from "The God of Tomorrow's Singer".

Lei Zhihui sighed: "Then let's get started... Where do you want to start asking?"

"..."

……

After Xu Feng and Bai Yao returned to their practice room, the students could hardly hold back their loud cheers.

"Teacher Xu Feng! It's amazing!"

"'Lonely Patient'... When will this album be released? Can I get an autograph in advance?"

"To be honest, the audience at the scene may not have felt it so deeply, but I cried when I heard it. If I didn't know I was not qualified, I would have thought that Teacher Xu Feng was talking about me."

"Yeah, speaking of which, if we take this path, most of the time we won't get recognition from the people around us, right? I still remember the mixed doubles beating my parents gave me at that time... Alas!"

"Hahahaha... When I'm having dinner with relatives and friends during the holidays, others say they are engineers, programmers, or teachers. But if I say I'm a singer, everyone will probably look at me like I'm stupid."

"Indeed... this is the modern version of loneliness. It doesn't mean you won't be lonely if you have someone around you."

“This emotion is really full.”

"The most important thing is that this song is most infectious, and the singing skills required are slightly lower, at least lower than the previous one."

"Don't be ridiculous. This song doesn't seem to require as much 'hard skills' as the previous one, but it needs more appeal. You know what appeal is."

"Indeed, if I were to sing it, I wouldn't be able to sing it in the same way as Teacher Xu Feng..."

"..."

Not only the students couldn't sing, Bai Yao also had trouble singing.

That's why, even though she performed well, a few points were deducted from the whole song in the end because of her.

But... Bai Yao gained a lot of insights when she sang this song just now.

Although her performance just now was not perfect, she had already acquired a lot of theoretical knowledge.

Xu Feng was a little embarrassed by the flattery, and waved his hand to stop it: "Okay, okay, there is not much time left for you to practice. Instead of talking nonsense, you should prepare well and don't think about opening champagne now."

Although there are only two people in the group, the other students can provide some help.

Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly. Just because other students lost to the top two bosses in the PK doesn’t mean they won’t be able to find the problem after they become the audience.

By helping the top two in the group, you are helping yourself.

Especially the two people ranked last in the group, they hope that they can get first place this time, otherwise they will have to face the most brutal elimination match in the group.

Having been together for this period of time, even though we know that in the end these so-called "teammates" will become rivals, it is impossible to say that there is no affection at all.

"Yeah, don't be happy too soon." Bai Yao also said, "Don't forget the lesson from last time. No matter how good the song is, it needs a good singer, otherwise everything is empty talk."

"And you only have two hours to prepare, which is not enough time."

Xu Feng also chimed in, "Come on, if you have any questions, you can ask Teacher Bai Yao."

After saying that, Xu Feng gave Bai Yao a thumbs up and then slipped out through the back door.

The students left in the practice room burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! It's only been two episodes, and Teacher Xu Feng has already degenerated to this level?"

"I remember when we first joined the show, it was Teacher Xu Feng who taught us everything, and Teacher Bai Yao only said a few words at the side."

"Later, it was a 50-50 split between the two of us."

"Later, it became Teacher Xu Feng who was responsible for producing the works, occasionally saying a few words, and Teacher Bai Yao who did the theoretical analysis."

"Yes, I remember that Teacher Xu Feng had an expression on his face that said 'why didn't I think of that', it was so funny."

"This time, Teacher Xu Feng simply ran away, leaving Teacher Bai Yao alone, right?"

"Stop talking and fight for our big house!"

"..."

The lead singer also ran away, and the theory teacher also stayed, but the atmosphere in Xu Feng's group was completely different from that in Zhou Yanliu's group. Everyone was obviously in high spirits.

To be honest, even if Xu Feng doesn't care about the impact at all and always comes up with difficult songs, no one can say anything to him.

After all, it was someone else's song, and Xu Feng could sing it well.

We have adhered to the principle of "I will do what I can".

Poor singing can be completely blamed on the students’ lack of ability - with Xu Feng’s status and ability, he doesn’t need to care about these people who can’t bring him many resources.

Can the students bring any advantages to Xu Feng in the entertainment industry? Obviously not, so why should we ask others to take care of us?
The most they could give Xu Feng was the money he least needed.

Taking care of students is a favor, not taking care of them is a duty.

But Xu Feng still carefully selected the songs and summarized his problems.

Finally, I came up with this song.

To say that this song was prepared by the students for this variety show is a bit of a flattery, but no matter what, at least the students were taken into consideration when selecting the song.

As for Zhou Yanliu, the situation was completely different.

Obviously, we already had the secret to success, but the instructor made an inexplicable song selection.

The students knew they couldn't blame the instructor, so they could only keep their anger to themselves.

It’s fine that I changed from good to bad, but Xu Feng next door also changed from bad to good.

It makes people feel unbalanced.

……

After leaving the practice room, Xu Feng took out his phone and sent a message to Cheng Luan: "I came out for some fresh air. Where are you?"

Little Bird replied immediately as usual: "In the audience lounge, what's wrong? Don't you want to use these two hours to improve your students?"

"My theoretical level is not that good, so I'll just let my partner do it." Xu Feng said truthfully, "It's a good opportunity to talk about what happened just now."

When on the stage, Xu Feng noticed that Cheng Luan's expression was a little different from before.

Cheng Luan also generously admitted that it was true.

This is a good time to find out.

"Okay, then come over here. Do you want me to send you a real-time location?"

"No need, I can still find the way."

Xu Feng put down his phone, followed the instructions, and soon arrived at the audience lounge.

When the staff guarding the door saw Xu Feng coming over, his brain froze for a moment.

They were looking at the door, worried that some irrational fans would take advantage of the break to sneak out and ask the stars in the venue for autographs, or do some other irrational things.

I've never seen a celebrity walk this way before!

"Uh, Teacher Xu Feng?"

"Teacher Xu Feng, this is the audience lounge. Your practice room is in that direction. Did you go the wrong way?"

Xu Feng took a look inside and said with a smile: "I'm not in the wrong place. I just wanted to come here to take a look."

"what?!"

The two staff members looked at each other, and after a while they asked hesitantly, "Does this comply with the rules?"

Xu Feng glanced at the notice board and said, "The rules only say that fans are not allowed to come in, but it doesn't seem to say that instructors are not allowed to go there, right?"

The staff member was stunned for a moment, took a look at the sign, and found that it seemed to be true.

But... the main reason is that no one could have imagined that a star would really come to the audience lounge through this passage, right?

Forget it, since it doesn't seem to violate the rules, there's no need to be so strict.

A variety show is not a formal occasion, and it would do them no good to embarrass Xu Feng.

"Well... OK, Mr. Xu Feng, please go in... Uh, when the time is up, a staff member will come and call you."

As he spoke, the staff opened the gate.

Xu Feng walked in and nodded, but he felt a little strange in his heart - does this need to be reminded?

I won't do anything bad in there.

"Okay, you're busy."

After entering the lounge, many viewers looked over here in surprise.

"Fuck, Xu Feng?!"

"What is he doing here?"

"Should we take this opportunity to ask him for an autograph..."

"Xu Feng's autographs seem to be selling quite well in the second-hand market right now. Xu Feng's popularity online and offline are two completely different extremes."

"Uh, don't think too much about it. I don't think he's here to see us. Don't forget that the rich girl's sister is here too."

"Yes..."

"..."

However, Xu Feng just nodded to them and turned to walk into the VIP-only lounge room.

Many times, VIP tickets sell not only seats but also services.

Cheng Luan had been waiting for a long time: "Are you here? Sit over here."

Xu Feng sat opposite Cheng Luan and asked, "Your expression looked a little strange just now. What's wrong?"

Cheng Luan pushed a glass of juice over and replied casually: "It's not a big deal, I just met a weird person."

"Elaborate."

"The boss of the group behind "The God of Tomorrow" and Zhou Yanliu, oh, I can't say he's the boss, he's a big director." Cheng Luan tilted his head slightly, "In other words, he's the culprit who has been targeted since your debut."

"When you first debuted, you probably had no direct relationship with this group, but I am sure that this recent incident was done by her and the group behind her. Otherwise, Zhou Yanliu and the "God of Tomorrow" production team would have been abandoned long ago."

"It's a good idea to squeeze out Zhou Yanliu's last bit of money and see if we can revive one of our own good IPs."

Xu Feng thought for three seconds and understood: "No wonder Zhou Yanliu cares so much about this opportunity. She is willing to do anything to achieve her goal."

"It's the woman sitting next to you, right?"

Cheng Luan blinked her beautiful eyes: "Brother Xu Feng, you have a very sharp eye, huh?"

"It's mainly because of her bag. You can tell at a glance that she belongs to a rich person, unless she bought a high-end imitation." Xu Feng said, "So, what do you think next?"

"It's hard to have any ideas. She has already completed this round of investment, and it's other people's money. No matter what happens, she can't be hurt." Cheng Luan shook his head. "However, being able to bring Song Tianyu to the light is a good gain. We have a long way to go."

"I already have a rough outline of a plan. I'll tell you once it's a little more complete!"

"Okay, take your time, no rush." ​​Xu Feng took a sip of juice and nodded.

"..."

The two of them wasted an hour drinking and chatting like this.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Feng stood up and waved: "Then I'll go back first. Those students are very persistent about the big dormitory, and I have to take a look too."
