Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?
Chapter 276 Just Consider the Unfilial Son Dead 43
This guy is a demon king whose true nature is sealed away by his appearance!
Originally, Deng Jiafeng never imagined that he would be involved with the entertainment industry. He had taken a hormone medication for a long time due to an illness he had during his youth.
When he grew up, he became like this. His body wasn't all muscle, but solid fat. He used to be quite handsome, but unfortunately, being fat ruined everything!
After graduating from university, he couldn't find a job he was satisfied with because of his appearance, since all the jobs he liked had appearance requirements.
He wasn't willing to compromise himself, and thinking that he could sing quite well, he went to work as a resident singer at a bar in Houhai, Beijing. Even then, he sometimes had to go on stage to cross-dress and make ugly faces to amuse the customers.
If the variety show hadn't explicitly stated during its promotion that it wouldn't consider appearance or age, and if his bar owner hadn't kept urging him to participate, Deng Jiafeng wouldn't have even bothered to sign up.
As for why his boss is so enthusiastic, one reason is that participating in the show doesn't cost any money, and if he doesn't get selected, it's just a waste of time. Another reason is that his boss is a big fan of Teacher Fusheng, and among the people he knows, Deng Jiafeng is the best singer.
If he gets selected, his bar will be secure from now on, since Deng Jiafeng has been singing at his family's bar since graduation.
He was also excited about the possibility of meeting Teacher Fusheng through Deng Jiafeng, so he was even more enthusiastic than Deng Jiafeng and accompanied him throughout the process.
How to describe Deng Jiafeng's voice? Let's put it this way, it's as if he has two independent vocal cords, one male and one female, and both are comparable to heavenly sounds.
Celebrity impersonation shows are just starting to become popular now, but Deng Jiafeng had already been doing that kind of impersonation performance in bars for a long time. While others can only imitate male or female singers, he can do both simultaneously, which is why Deng Jiafeng is quite famous in the Houhai area.
Liu Yuxi was delighted when he saw Deng Jiafeng. Putting aside opera-style songs, with that voice, what song couldn't he sing? From now on, he could record whatever he wanted.
Now that the person had been found, she wasn't in a hurry anymore. She called the variety show director and asked him to keep an eye on Deng Jiafeng, of course, without affecting the fairness of the show.
After hanging up, she called Ms. Li, the manager of the artist department, and said that she saw a lot of inspiration in this singer and suggested that the company sign him.
Manager Li readily agreed. Qu's father's inspiration was a string of hit songs, and countless small sums of money! Why not do a business that's guaranteed to make money?
So, Deng Jiafeng, who had just finished recording the mentor selection process and returned to the hotel with his boss, received a call from Manager Li.
Deng Jiafeng looked at the unfamiliar number on his phone screen. He didn't want to answer it, since he had saved the numbers of all his acquaintances in his contacts. He figured it was probably some kind of scam call.
His boss said, "How could a scam call be from a Beijing-registered mobile number? Answer it quickly! What if it's someone from Sihai Entertainment?"
"You're dreaming!" Deng Jiafeng thought his boss was going crazy. He only knew that he sang well, but he didn't study singing, and he only used singing as a means of making a living.
He dreams of making a lot of money when he's young, and once he has enough savings, he'll go back to his hometown and open a small shop to retire. You know, his income is quite high.
Not to mention his basic monthly salary at the bar, which increased from 500 yuan a day when he first arrived to 2,000 yuan a day now that he has a certain reputation, plus the daily commission from the bar customers' song requests and tips, which is also around 2,000 yuan, he earns over 100,000 yuan a month.
In addition, after he became famous, people invited him to perform at commercial events. Even if it wasn't much, he could still earn 5,000 yuan per performance. All things considered, after paying taxes, he could earn about 1.5 million yuan a year.
Moreover, he currently lives in a house rented by his boss, and he's a bit of a homebody, so he doesn't have many expenses. After he made money, he bought several houses in his hometown.
With housing prices rising higher and higher, he's all set. He'll work hard for a few more years, buy two more houses, and then go back to his hometown to retire. He'll find a wife through matchmaking, have a baby, collect rent when he's free, and sell a house when he needs to—what a blissful life!
Who knew he'd end up with such a boss! If it weren't for the fact that he interviewed at many bars after graduation and only his current boss kept him on, and hadn't treated him so well over the years, he wouldn't even have to ask for a raise—he wouldn't be doing that!
God knows how nervous he was on stage, despite his mild social anxiety. In bars, he was used to the environment over the years, but he really didn't want to appear in front of the camera and be judged.
He originally thought he would just be there to make a cameo appearance at the audition, since apart from some character actors, there are hardly any ugly people in the entertainment industry, and the show's promotion was probably just a "gimmick"!
As it turned out, the show was quite fair and actually passed him, telling him to go back and wait for a notification to participate in the recording of the later episodes on time. Heaven knows, when he received the notification from the staff, the expressions of him and his boss perfectly illustrated the idiom: "mixed feelings of joy and sorrow"!
He was sad, but his boss was happy! He still remembered that day when his boss, who always had the air of a "refined scoundrel," was frantically pounding his back while yelling in his ear, "Jiafeng, you're amazing! I knew you could do it!"
"Thank you so much!" That's what he was thinking at the time.
On the way back, his boss kept telling him that he would take him to get a good makeover when he got back, including a haircut, shave, skincare, and new clothes. The plan was full of surprises, and he even made an appointment by phone.
As a result, before we even arrived at Houhai, the production team sent us a text message. There was nothing else in it, just a translation of what the staff member had said, but there was one sentence in it: "Contestants are required to maintain their audition image!"
Well, the boss's enthusiasm has been completely wasted!
Although Deng Jiafeng never intended to become famous, he was selected, so he would definitely take it seriously. After all, he is known as the "Little King of Houhai Songs," and he can't lose face in front of his old fans!
After all, his boss had already spread the news of his passing the audition throughout Houhai while he was on the way.
Muttering to himself, Deng Jiafeng answered the phone: "Hello! Who is this?"
"Hello! Are you Mr. Deng Jiafeng?"
"Yes, I am Deng Jiafeng. And who are you?"
"Hello! I am Li Renze, the head of the artist department at Sihai Entertainment Company. Our company thinks Mr. Deng has great potential and is preparing to sign him. I wonder if you would be interested?" Li Renze got straight to the point.
Deng Jiafeng was dumbfounded. What the hell is Sihai Entertainment? Why are they going to sign me? I'm just participating in an audition! Luckily, he had the phone on speakerphone when he answered, and there was a boss next to him who was paying close attention to the conversation.
