After dreaming of getting rich, I dressed up as a collapsed idol

He felt that his condition was like that of a martial arts master who was about to make a breakthrough and had entered into seclusion. The outside world also knew about his situation, so generally no one would disturb him unless something serious happened.

I received a call from Yang Xiuxiu during the lunch break.

"why?"

Lu Qingfeng was very surprised by such a strange request.

"According to the other party, the winning works selected in previous events did not receive a good market response after being published in Japan, as readers there do not appreciate mystery novels written by Chinese authors."

"So for sales reasons, I hope to use a Japanese pen name to avoid this situation."

It seemed to make some sense, but Lu Qingfeng couldn't accept it.

"Just reject this unreasonable request, Sister Xiuxiu."

He didn't know what the Japanese were thinking, he just knew that doing so would do him no good.

It seems that he can earn more royalties, but when publishing books overseas, he is not just considering the issue of royalties. The main purpose is to make himself known in markets outside the domestic market.

According to them, in order to avoid the problem of readers not recognizing Chinese writers, they use Japanese pen names. In order to implement this plan, they will not actively publicize the identity of the writers.

That would be putting the cart before the horse for him.

The key pen name is also his own name. It is outrageous to change his name into Japanese.

"I thought so too, but the editor who contacted me said that this wasn't his idea, but the editor-in-chief of the magazine had a fantasy."

"So, what he meant was that he would do his best to coordinate this matter and told us not to rush. The translated manuscript had just been sent over, and there was still some time before the official publication."

"'Years of Mystery' is also in talks with them. The worst-case scenario is that the manuscript will be rejected. My editor and I are suggesting that we don't rely solely on one thing and try to contact other Fuso publishers."

"Well, you guys decide."

Lu Qingfeng also agreed with this method, then he remembered something and continued.

"By the way, Sister Xiuxiu, if you're not busy this Friday, come to Yanjing. I've got some tickets for the Danchen Yonggu theme concert. You can come and attend it when you have time."

"Okay."

The neighbor picked me up at the airport and said happily.

"Oh, there's one more thing. Brother Zhu seems to have something to ask you. Please call him back."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingfeng called his agent Zhu Zhichang.

The phone rang twice and then was picked up.

"Brother Zhu, are you looking for me?"

"Correct."

Came the middle-aged agent's voice.

"I received an invitation from the Yanjing TV variety show "Crossover Singing". They want to invite you to a few episodes."

"A singing show?"

Lu Qingfeng had seen some news and broadcast clips of this program on the Internet.

"Yes, a music competition variety show."

Zhu Zhichang gave a brief introduction.

This program was first aired in 2016, which happened to be the time when music variety shows were booming. Unlike other variety shows of the same type, this program has made many innovations.

It is neither a grassroots singer talent show nor a competition among professional singers.

The main idea of ​​the program is to just listen to the sound.

Therefore, the contestants who go on stage to participate in the competition will conceal their identities throughout the whole process, and will cover their entire bodies with exaggerated costumes and masks. Neither the audience nor the judges on the scene know who the contestants are.

He could be a music superstar, an unknown bar singer, or an actor, and so on.

The program consists of three stages: selection, elimination, and the final singing competition. The contestants compete against each other, and the winner is decided by the audience and judges. The loser is eliminated and takes off his mask.

The exciting part of this competition system is that even if a talented singer does not perform well, he or she may be eliminated by non-professional contestants.

Moreover, this incident actually happened on the show, which is why many viewers think this variety show is very real.

"It's currently in its third season, and the ratings have been very good. It's the flagship variety show on Yanjing TV. Their producer watched the show 'Sounds into the Ears' and contacted me."

"Haven't we discussed your compatibility with the pop music scene before? I think this is an opportunity."

"That's possible, but in terms of time..."

Lu Qingfeng was mainly worried that if he took on another variety show, he might not have enough time to spend in school.

"I've taken this into consideration, so I discussed it with the show's producers and decided to allow you to enter the show's recordings after the elimination rounds. They've introduced a challenger singer system this season, so you can participate in January."

"It happened to be winter vacation at that time."

Zhu Zhichang also had a plan for this.

"That'll be fine."

The problem has been solved, and Lu Qingfeng will not refuse this opportunity.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Zhu, if you have time on Friday, come to the concert. I saved a ticket for you."

"it is good."

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingfeng continued to rehearse.

……

A week passed quickly, and on Friday night, as the sun completely sank into the skyline, the huge city of Yanjing was brightly lit.

The well-connected urban road network divides the ground buildings in an orderly manner. Located next to Tiananmen Square in the historical and cultural center is the China National Grand Theater.

This oval-shaped building was planned in 1958 as a landmark building to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It took forty-nine years until it was officially completed in 2007.

This magnificent building covers a total area of ​​16.5 square meters and is nearly 50 meters high. The outer shell is made up of 18000 titanium metal plates, with a progressive glass curtain wall in the middle.

It is surrounded by an artificial lake, and various passages and entrances are located underwater. Pedestrians need to pass through an 80-meter-long underwater passage to enter the interior.

Since its construction, it has hosted large-scale art performances from home and abroad, and countless world-class artists have displayed their talents and charm here.

Today, the theme concert [Eternal Palace of the Forbidden City: The 600th Anniversary of its Completion] was performed here.

As the performance time approached, luxurious cars entered the parking lot one after another, and celebrities in formal attire from all walks of life gathered towards the theater.

Outside the Grand Theater, media reporters from all over the world set up their cameras to record this penguin.

Reporters from South Korea's MBC TV, Japan's TBS, England's BBC, America's ABC, and Russia's POCC held microphones, stood in front of the camera, and reported the news.

A grand performance is about to begin!
