This Star Only Wants More Money

“Transmigrated to Another World, Xu Feng awakened the [Entertainment Mercenary System] , which grants him corresponding ability boosts based on the amount of compensation offered by others.” Thus, in the stagnant waters of the entertainment industry, there suddenly appeared a star with a rather peculiar style. … A certain famous director: “I’ve worked with Xu Feng many times. I admit his acting skills are excellent, but his practice of adjusting his performance based on the pay is, in my opinion, a waste of his talent! Young people shouldn’t be so concerned with money.” A guest from a variety show: “Who understands this guy? I asked Xu Feng to finish in the top five, and he immediately quit after reaching fifth place! His singing could’ve easily won him first!” A top actress, puffing her cheeks in frustration, said: “Xu Feng has no star demeanor at all. He just does whatever he’s paid for, like an emotionless mercenary!” “I suspect Xu Feng worked in a toothpaste factory in his past life because he really knows how to squeeze every last bit!” … “Mr. Xu Feng, this program is very important and highly challenging. It’s a rare opportunity, and we hope you’ll give it your all!” Xu Feng: “Sure, how much does it pay?” “You might not understand what I mean. This program takes place once every three years, it offers great exposure, allows you to build many connections, and is an invaluable opportunity for your future development. People would pay any price to get in!” Xu Feng: “Just one word: no!” “Clear and straightforward pricing, fair to all, from the Oscars down to Baby Bus — however much you pay, that’s how much effort you get! Fame is yours, wealth is mine!” [A plot full of unexpected twists, humor, and unconventional storylines, with a fresh and unique protagonist.
