This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 216 Public Fundraising

The next day, a number of posts with similar content appeared on various social forums.

Many fans who went to bed early yesterday and got up this morning to join in the fun were also numb after seeing that post.

Although they did not plan to attend Xu Feng's concert due to various reasons, perhaps funding or time issues, the degree of this advertisement was still beyond their imagination.

However, this time, there were fewer people choosing to criticize Xu Feng.

Because they know that even if they criticize him, it will be useless, and in the end they will just be in an endless cycle of fans turning to haters and haters turning to fans.

No problem can be solved.

Even though there are countless people who say they are going to turn from fans to haters, as soon as Xu Feng’s song comes out, they will immediately adaptively turn from haters to fans.

If it were any other star, such a large-scale fan-to-fan conversion would basically be considered a reputation collapse.

But for Xu Feng, it was like a fixed task that was refreshed every month, and both participants and bystanders were used to it.

Stopping being a fan won’t solve the problem!
Xu Feng didn't buy it at all.

But now they are out of songs and have to listen to Xu Feng’s songs!
There is no other way but to think of other ways to see if I can get Xu Feng to move.

This morning, various related discussions appeared on various forums, with fans offering suggestions on how to get Xu Feng to hold a concert.

Some people hope that a certain variety show team can find a way to organize a similar competition and talent show, allowing Xu Feng to occupy a stage in a certain segment, and this stage happens to be something similar to a concert.

At the same time, the program team will open live broadcast and on-site ticket purchase.

This is equivalent to saving the country in a roundabout way and completing a concert.

But the feasibility of this idea was quickly dismissed - it was almost entirely about making dumplings for a dish of vinegar.

A normal variety show that wants to make a profit would definitely not be filmed like this.

Unless they just want to be the organizer of the concert and earn commission.

But Xu Feng already has an agency, so it’s a bit strange for the organizer to share the money.

Either they force a middleman to join so that everyone makes less money, or they put the cost on the ticket and pass it on to the consumers.

Either way it's weird.

Many people are a little desperate. Is it true that they will never be able to see Xu Feng’s concert in this lifetime?
The regret of the older generation is seeing their favorite singers release new songs, but the regret of the new generation has simply become not being able to see their favorite singers hold concerts?
Many other people have come up with some ideas, but none of them are very practical.

Until a magical post came out of nowhere.

#pWhy can’t fans become customers? #
This hot search immediately became the headline.

Although there is no name in this trending search, everyone knows who it is talking about and what it is about.

It is also a kind of spectacle.

Many desperate fans clicked in to take a look.

"Since Xu Feng said that he would only do something if he was commissioned, why don't we raise funds through crowdfunding and let him hold a concert. He's just a client, right? We can be a client, too!"

As soon as this statement came out, there were many comments following it.

“That makes sense, but who should the money be given to?”

"I'm really afraid that someone will run away with the money halfway through the crowdfunding. This situation is too common. Without a credible official coordinator, I wouldn't dare to do it."

"That's out of the ordinary. This kind of crowdfunding will definitely be used to offset ticket prices or albums, so what's the difference between that and selling tickets directly?"

"You don't understand. What our dean wants is a sense of ceremony."

"Don't ask if it's useful, just ask if it tortures you. If you torture yourself, it means it's useful."

"In fact, I think this plan is the most feasible, but the question is, who will supervise it?"

"Yeah, I'm scared of being cheated."

"I think your worry about this problem is really unnecessary. Didn't you see how good Xu Feng's attitude was when serving customers?"

"If we were customers, I think Xu Feng would definitely provide corresponding supporting services. This shouldn't be a problem."

"Haha... You mean, the Meishayong Technology official website will give us a dedicated crowdfunding channel, right? What kind of hell joke are you telling?"

"By the way, why don't you go to the official website of Meishayong Technology?"

"What are you looking at?"

“Link: [Xu Feng concert crowdfunding event]”

"???"

"Huh?! What is this? Are you sure this isn't a phishing website?"

"No, if you don't believe it, why don't you just enter the URL and go to their official website to check it out?"

"Fuck...it's actually true?"

"We are still discussing related content here, but they have already made a website over there, right? How efficient is that?"

"I told you, if you are a fan of the dean, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with him. But if you are his client, he will tell you what true efficiency is."

"I'm just kidding. Actually, he was the owner of a fan group of Xu Feng. He happened to be an employee of Meishayong Technology Company. He made a suggestion and it was implemented there."

"There is such a fan group? Why didn't I join it?"

"Take me one, take me one! The group leader is actually an insider. Love it."

"For this kind of support group that is close to the official, it is quite normal for the group owner to be an internal staff member. Even if they are not employees of the company, most of them have some connection with the star himself."

"Haha, while you guys are still complaining, I've already paid the protection fee before you... Oh no, I've paid the crowdfunding fee, the highest one. You guys can continue chatting. I looked at this thing and it has a limited number of people."

"Ah?! There's a quota limit?!"

"Of course there will be seats, otherwise what will happen if people who paid the crowdfunding fee don't have seats?"

"Shit! I've already reserved one!"

"Look carefully, you need to register your ID card. If you are not going to the concert, don't pay. This seat quota cannot be transferred."

"Then I want to buy it too, even though I can't go."

“Why buy it if you can’t go?”

"Because I can't go and I can't let others go, I got caught in the rain, so I have to tear up other people's umbrellas."

"Is this the mutual support of Xu Feng's fans? It's so heartwarming. I like it so much."

"Dark Forest Law, right?"

"To be honest, I think this crowdfunding is not a loss... It seems that Xu Feng still loves us and still dotes on us!"

"Crazy, this is Fengrenyuan, this is the mental state of Xu Feng's fans, they have deceived themselves to this extent..."

"Then just tell me whether you want to crowdfund or not."

“It’s crowdfunded!”

"..."...

At this time, Xu Feng, who came to the company to make trouble, didn't know what had happened.

I even fantasized in my mind that a film crew would find me in the future, ask me to write a song, and promise to give me a supporting role.

Then, relying on this supporting role, Xu Feng once again demonstrated his skills to everyone and attracted more customers.

This way you can establish a foundation in the new circle.

Xu Feng felt that everything was going according to plan - even the company's employees seemed to be getting moving.

It's obvious that it's a lot of work.

This company has only signed two stars in total. Sister Huan has been in a slump recently and has nothing to do. Isn't that just busy with her own business?

Sure enough, not long after, Cheng Luan appeared from the elevator.

Because Xu Feng didn't see Cheng Luan in the room when he got up, he went out and came to the company by himself.

The moment she saw Xu Feng, a look of dissatisfaction appeared on Little Bird's face.

But she quickly suppressed this emotion, restored her image as the company's boss, and walked into the office with perfect steps.

Gee...

Xu Feng was just about to complain in his mind when a message suddenly popped up on his phone.

Cheng Luan: "Come to the office, I have something to tell you."

This is a businesslike tone.

Xu Feng didn't think much about it, put away his phone, and pushed open the door of Cheng Luan's office.

At this time, Cheng Luan was still tidying up the things on the table and had not sat down yet. Xu Feng, on the other hand, sat down on the chair first, in a half-lying position.

Cheng Luan snorted softly and sat down lightly: "You sat down before the boss?"

"Yes." Xu Feng said as a matter of course, "There's no need for so many rules and regulations. What exactly is it about? Is there a new order? I see that everyone outside is quite busy."

Cheng Luan put away her things, sat on the chair, and asked in surprise: "Didn't you check Weibo? Didn't you watch the videos? What did you do when you were playing badly?"

Xu Feng said bluntly: "Watch the videos of gaming bloggers and watch the games."

"..." Cheng Luan was speechless for a moment, "You really treat the entertainment industry as a job, and you try to balance your life and work. What are you doing?"

"So, what's going on?" Xu Feng rubbed his hands, "Boss, give me some orders, just small ones!"

Cheng Luan turned on her mobile phone, opened the relevant page, and placed it in front of Xu Feng.

"Come on, take a look at your next order. There are two options, decide which one you want to choose."

They were really familiar with each other and could even look at each other’s phones.

Xu Feng muttered to himself, took out Cheng Luan's phone and glanced at it briefly.

"The first option is product endorsement advertising... er, it seems that I haven't endorsed a product until today, except for the weird ones."

"The second one... um, concert?"

Xu Feng was a little confused.

How did we end up at the concert after all these twists and turns?

No one paid him to give a concert, he couldn't do it! He wasn't capable enough!

As if seeing Xu Feng's thoughts, Cheng Luan spoke first: "Brother Xu Feng, take a closer look."

Take a closer look…

No, how can you be so sure that I won’t choose the first option to endorse the advertisement?

Do you know me well?
Xu Feng complained in his heart and watched it again.

Finally I saw the word "crowdfunding".

"In other words, the fans paid me a sum of money first to invite me to hold a concert?" Xu Feng thought for a moment and asked, "The subsequent ticket fees will be deducted from this?"

Cheng Luan smiled and nodded: "That's right, so what do you think? Do you have any excuses now?"

"That's really not an excuse..."

Xu Feng explained first, then thought about it and said seriously: "This seems feasible, but there are still many problems."

Cheng Luan maintained her smile: "For example?"

When you get into work mode, you don’t have the casual feeling you have at home, right?
Xu Feng raised his lips a little: "For example, the money raised through crowdfunding cannot actually be equated to the income from subsequent concerts."

For concerts like Xu Feng's, where tickets are bound to be in short supply, the organizer will definitely package a large portion of the tickets to scalpers for sale. Only a portion of the tickets can be released on the official website to crowdfunding contributors.

The official organizer does not dare to make the price difference of ticket for different stars’ concerts too big, otherwise it will be suspected of being a group of traitors and will be criticized.

Therefore, it is better to package the easy-to-sell tickets and the hard-to-sell tickets and sell them to scalpers at one price, and let them adjust the ticket prices according to market demand.

In other words, the money raised through crowdfunding may not be enough for Xu Feng to hold a beautiful concert.

However, Cheng Luan seemed to have expected Xu Feng to say this. She laughed and said, "Humph, I'll make up the rest of the money."

After hearing this, Xu Feng finally couldn't sit still anymore.

"Uh, what do you mean by make up?"

Cheng Luan tilted her head and said, "Isn't there a shortage of money for the crowdfunding? I'll make up for it. Brother Xu Feng, you have to go to this concert even if you don't want to!"

"Ah, the company pays?" Xu Feng felt a little distressed to be honest, because half of this money would be swallowed by the system. "Isn't it a bit too, uh, too indifferent to profit and loss?"

Besides, Sister Little Bird is so rich!
This gap should be quite big. How much money will it cost for her to fill it alone?
Are you going to this extent just to chase after a star?
Cheng Luan widened his eyes a little and tapped the table with his finger: "Who said the company paid for it... I said I paid for it! I paid for it myself! Brother Xu Feng, you have been in the company for a long time, have you forgotten that I am also your fan? I am also in charge of a lot of your mentally ill patients!"

Indeed, I almost forgot.

After all, we usually get along with each other as boss and friend.

This wonderful superposition of identities is indeed a different experience.

Xu Feng could only sigh: "As expected of little bird sister."

"So, which one do you plan to choose, one or two?" Cheng Luan was obviously very pleased with this kind of "flattery". "Choose it, and once you've chosen it, the company will operate in that direction."

"Do I still need to choose?" Xu Feng sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Now that it has come to this, what else can I choose?"

In which direction is the company operating?

I guess the second option has already been chosen...

I have to say that Cheng Luan still has a certain sense of humor in some aspects.

"We have to go through the process." Cheng Luan had forgotten to care about the fact that Xu Feng didn't wait for her this morning and drove to work alone. "So, are you ready to sing a song? This is a lot of money, we must be worthy of it!"

Xu Feng lay a little deeper, picked up a cup of tea from the table, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I promise that the No. 1 brother on the list... the No. 1 sister will not spend money in vain."
