Chapter 25 Earn More Stars
Chapter 25 Earn More Stars
Before Lin Feng joined the cast of "Buddha Mountain", Tianyu Entertainment didn't let him rest. He appeared on five more shows in one go, as if they wanted to squeeze out every last drop of value from him.
She appeared on Hunan TV's "Star Sister Grand Final" and "Go Forward Bravely," Jilin TV's "Super Happy 8 O'Clock," Liaoning TV's "I Am the Protagonist," and finally, she participated in Phoenix TV's "A Date with Luyu."
Among them, "A Date with Luyu" was recorded in two parts. Including the programs he participated in before, such as "Happy Camp" and "Day Day Up", it can be said that in just two months, Lin Feng participated in almost all the well-known talk shows in China.
These programs mainly share interesting stories and insights from the filming process, as well as the difficulties and challenges encountered and how to overcome them. There's really not much to say about them.
On the contrary, Deng Shuang performed quite well this time, putting on a "fan imitation show," especially her imitation of the crazy behavior of Lin Feng's fans, chanting "Lin Feng! Lin Feng! Lin Feng! I love you! I love you!"
This made everyone burst into laughter, so much so that Yu Haoming couldn't help but tease her, "Don't take this opportunity to reveal the truth!" This made Deng Shuang blush bright red, and she didn't dare to look at Lin Feng anymore.
At this moment, Deng Shuang is innocent and naive; no one could have imagined what she would do in the future. It seems that one's family of origin is truly important, especially not having a mother who dreams of becoming a star and is also overly controlling.
In fact, someone with Deng Shuang's personality should have a professional agency managing her, not a family-run personal studio. All the outrageous things she did in the future were done after she left Tianyu Media.
However, we should talk to her when Lin Feng leaves; that would be more than enough. Otherwise, the entertainment industry will lose another "living person".
After finishing all that, Lin Feng was ready to join the crew of "Buddha Mountain" ahead of schedule to experience life there. Just as he boarded the plane, he heard the familiar "ding" notification sound from the system again.
This puzzled Lin Feng, as he hadn't had any other works released recently besides "Meteor Shower".
What does this mean? Lin Feng curiously opened the system to take a look:
[Work: Starry Night Story]
"Quality of the work": 4 stars; using "shooting stars" and "starry sky" as imagery, it blends romantic love and youthful dreams, combining poetry and popularity.
"Popularity of the work": 4 stars; Top 10 film and television OSTs in terms of play count on various music platforms.
"Individual Contribution": 1 star; not a songwriter, but one of the four singers.
Final rating: 2 stars;
[Work: Let Me Sing a Song for You]
"Quality of the work": 3 stars; it directly expresses the innocent love of adolescence, but lacks depth and uniqueness.
"Popularity of the work": 4 stars; Top 10 film and television OSTs in terms of play count on various music platforms.
"Individual Contribution": 1 star; not a songwriter, but one of the four singers.
Final rating: 2 stars;
[Work: Recollections]
"Quality of the work": 4 stars; the emotions are sincere but the depth is limited. It is mainly popular lyric and expresses the heartbreak and nostalgia of adolescence.
"Popularity of the work": 4 stars; Top 10 film and television OSTs in terms of play count on various music platforms.
"Personal Contribution": 2 stars; not a songwriter or lead singer.
Final rating: 3 stars;
So Lin Feng still has musical works! He had forgotten about that. What a pleasant surprise!
Why are movies and music released at the same time given rewards at different times?
Lin Feng soon discovered that the settlement time for film and television works was the time when they were taken offline, while for music works it was one month. "Meteor Shower" was taken offline earlier than the broadcast time.
However, Lin Feng didn't dwell on these things. He was more concerned about the lottery rewards. It was rare that he was rewarded with 7 stars at once. Adding the 1 star he had before, he now had a total of 8 stars, so he had to try his luck in the lottery again.
With that in mind, Lin Feng didn't hesitate to spend 5 stars to start the "Gold Card" lottery. This time, the system gave him three options again.
"Musical Instrument Proficiency Card": Can increase proficiency in various musical instruments by 0-20%.
"Tone Recognition Card": Permanently improves the recognizability of a voice and correspondingly enhances listener's memory of it.
"Singing Technique Card": Can improve singing skills by 0-20%, including breathing control, vocalization methods, and resonance application.
There are still 3 options, but this time all 3 options are music-related rewards. How exactly does the system categorize them?
Is it possible that actors receive actor-related rewards and singers receive music-related rewards? It seems that's indeed the case.
Furthermore, Lin Feng quickly discovered that the stars were different colors: the actors received red stars, while the singers received yellow stars.
Red, yellow, and blue?
If that's the case, then the director category should be blue. Lin Feng took out his previous "Business Negotiation Card," which was indeed blue, but it was in a cooling-off state.
This system is incredibly complex; there are probably many more patterns to discover, waiting for Lin Feng to uncover them.
Of course, no matter how complex the system is, it will definitely be advantageous to Lin Feng. He'll focus on getting the reward first.
This time, Lin Feng didn't think too much about the reward and directly chose the "Tone Recognition Card" because it was permanent and a "Gold Card."
For a singer, the voice is the most important and unique quality. Why does the princess sing so well? It's because she has a great voice. That's talent!
The "voice recognition card" can do just that. It's useful not only for singers but also for actors. A pleasant and distinctive voice makes it easy for the audience to remember you.
However, even after Lin Feng used the "voice recognition card," he didn't feel anything. His voice didn't seem to change much. Only by listening carefully could one discover that it was more magnetic and rhythmic than before.
Thinking about it again, it makes sense. It's only a 20% improvement at most, not a 200% improvement. Besides, if there really were such a big change, Lin Feng might not even dare to use it.
However, compared to acting, singing seems to bring in more rewards and much faster results!
Does this mean he'll sing more in the future? But Lin Feng quickly put that aside. Music isn't his forte, nor is it his interest. He can play around with it, but he can't make it his main profession.
Moreover, the system's rewards are mostly 0-20% increases, so it's impossible for you to reach the top in one step. You need a certain musical foundation to maximize your benefits, since zero multiplied by any number is zero.
But what to do with the remaining 3 stars? One red (actor) and two yellow (singer) stars. Separately, they don't make 3 stars, but adding them together doesn't allow for a lottery.
Lin Feng originally just wanted to try it out, but he didn't expect that the three stars he collected could also be used for a lottery, except that this lottery wasn't for professional awards like actors or singers.
Instead, it's a universal reward: 5 stars to draw a "gold card" and 3 stars to draw a "white card," but there are no requirements for these stars; they can be from singers or actors.
The more you study this system, the more interesting it becomes. Lin Feng happens to have 3 stars left, so he might as well give it a try. There are still 3 options.
"Delicious but Not Fat Card": During the usage period, you can eat whatever you want without gaining weight.
"Hair Care Card": During the usage period, your hair will not be damaged, and you can have any hairstyle you want.
"Study Hard Card": It can improve concentration and memory by 0-20%, helping you study hard and improve every day.
Except for one-time and permanent skill cards, all skill cards are valid for 3 months.
But you know what, these three ordinary "white cards" are quite interesting, and all of them are very useful.
For example, this "hair care card". When filming "Meteor Shower", Raymond Lam used seven or eight bottles of hairspray. If he had had this card at the time, he wouldn't have had to worry about damaging his hair.
And this "Delicious Without Getting Fat Card" is perfect for a foodie like Lin Feng, so he doesn't have to worry about managing his figure.
However, Lin Feng ultimately chose the "Study Hard Card." He still wanted to learn and learn more; he wished the 20% percentage could be changed to 200%.
A 20% improvement is probably not noticeable. In terms of time alone, what would normally take 5 days to learn can be learned in 4 days with this card, which is only 1 day earlier, so the effect isn't significant.
Lin Feng, however, values its long-term worth more. If it remains at 20%, what about over a long period, three to five years? Then there will be a qualitative improvement.
To keep using skill cards, Lin Feng needs to earn more stars. But so far, he's run out of stars from the lottery, having exchanged them all for four skill cards. He'll have to keep working hard to earn more stars, draw more skill cards, and use more skill cards.
Lin Feng currently possesses the following skill cards:
Director Category: Business Negotiation Card (Gold Card)
Actor Category: Deep-set eyes card (blank card, already used)
Singer Category: Voice Identification Card (Gold Card, Already Used)
General type: Study Hard Card (blank card)
