Liang Feng, as the top star of the company, had a huge reputation in the entertainment industry.
Ever since Ye Yuwan signed with Tianxiang Entertainment, he had launched an offensive, wanting to win her over, but no matter what he did, Ye Yuwan simply ignored him.
This angered him greatly. He had become a judge in this selection competition by leveraging his company's connections, after all, this was a singing and dancing competition, and as a film and TV star, him serving as a judge was somewhat inappropriate, but he still came.
His purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to win over Ye Yuwan.
During the competition, he was constantly showing concern for Ye Yuwan, but she never gave him any attention, and today he noticed that after Ye Yuwan made a phone call, she kept an eye on the staff passage, which made him suspicious and jealous.
Ye Yuwan was someone who took her work very seriously, everyone in the entertainment circle knew the extent of Ye Yuwan's dedication. It was truly curious what could distract her during work.
Suddenly, Ye Yuwan's eyes brightened, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
Moved by this, Liang Feng turned his head to look at the staff passage, and his expression immediately darkened.
There, a tall and handsome young man was walking into the broadcasting hall under the escort of Chen Feng and Huo Liang.
It was Jiang Chen.
Following Chen Feng into the performance hall, Jiang Chen spotted Ye Yuwan seated in the middle of the judges' panel at first glance.
Smiling at Ye Yuwan, he pointed to a spot behind her, and walked over with Chen Feng and the others.
Ye Yuwan nodded slightly, then turned her head to the stage and began to listen attentively to the performer's singing.
Jiang Chen and his group took their seats in the assistant's area behind Ye Yuwan.
Hmm?
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Chen felt a hostile gaze upon him. Turning his head, he saw a young man diagonally in front glaring fiercely at him before turning away.
"Who's that?" Jiang Chen pointed at Liang Feng, looking puzzled at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng glanced at Liang Feng with disdain and said, "A toad lusting after swan's flesh! His name is Liang Feng, the leading man of Tianxiang Entertainment in the film and TV industry."
"The leading man in film and TV? Why's a leading man in film and TV judging a singing competition?" Jiang Chen asked Chen Feng in surprise, his face full of confusion. "A toad? What's all this about?"
Chen Feng glanced at Ye Yuwan and whispered, "He's been trying to hit on Miss Yuwan, but she was afraid you'd get angry and didn't tell you."
"Oh!" Jiang Chen understood and said with a light laugh, "It's normal for people to admire Yuwan's natural beauty, but..."
A cold glint flickered in his eyes, and he looked indifferently at Liang Feng, "To dare make a move on my woman, that's bold indeed, and to abuse his position as a judge no less. Does a film and TV person even understand music?"
"He's just someone who gets on screen with his thick skin, how could he possibly understand music," scoffed Chen Feng with disdain.
In the film industry, there are such people who rely on their decent looks to gain a following of brainless fans, achieving great success in the film circle. These people are often called 'little fresh meat,' and some 'seasoned actors' truly despise them.
This Liang Feng once acted in a TV series, where the director initially cast a highly respected 'seasoned actor' from the entertainment circle to act alongside him. But Liang Feng turned out to be too much of a diva, lacking any professionalism or desire to endure hardship, aiming to get by with just editing his scenes, and completely infuriated that 'seasoned actor.'
However, the 'seasoned actor' didn't trouble the production crew and left the cast, refusing to work with Liang Feng.
The incident had far-reaching consequences, and the entertainment industry's opinion of "little fresh meat" steadily declined, with Liang Feng barely escaping becoming the target of public criticism.
In the end, it was Tianxiang Entertainment's public relations that smoothed over the issue.
Since the affair was so widely discussed, even Jiang Chen, who rarely paid attention to the entertainment circle, had heard of it, resulting in his unfavorable impression of Liang Feng. Now, hearing of Liang Feng's nepotism and pursuit of Yè Yùwǎn, he regarded him with even greater disdain!
As the music ceased, the stage performance concluded, and contestant Lin Ru looked nervously at Yè Yùwǎn and the other three judges.
"Have you been studying music since childhood?" A gentle voice rose from the panel of judges.
There were four people on the judging panel, with two goddess-like figures in the middle, and two men on either side. The one who spoke was none other than Sun Zhihan, known as the 'Nightingale Diva'.
"Yes," replied the contestant on stage, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. Coincidentally, she was the same girl Jiang Chen had seen changing her clothes in the corridor when he arrived.
Upon hearing Sun Zhihan's question, she nodded respectfully: "My father is a piano teacher, and my mother is a music teacher; they've been teaching me music since I was little."
"It shows..." Sun Zhihan continued her critique.
After Sun Zhihan finished, it was the turn of Liao Zhiyuan, the 'Bass Prince' on her right, followed by Liang Feng, with Yè Yùwǎn providing the final comments.
The first two judges offered affirmation and suggestions to the contestant, but it was when Liang Feng began his critique that the contestant's expression changed.
"I don't think you understand music," Liang Feng started, instantly drawing everyone's attention, including that of Yè Yùwǎn, Sun Zhihan, and Zhu Wenqiang, who all turned to look at him.
"What is music? Music is the heavenly sound that cleanses the soul," Liang Feng said with a smile, glancing at Yè Yùwǎn: "Just like Miss Yè's singing, pure and heartwarming."
Yè Yùwǎn slightly furrowed her brow and turned her head away, no longer looking at him, while Sun Zhihan and Liao Zhiyuan also frowned in unison.
"But your performance just now..." Liang Feng turned to the contestant on stage with a mocking smile: "was merely singing the song, nothing more, without a single redeeming quality!"
"Really? I thought it sounded quite nice!"
"What sounds nice? If my idol says it's not nice, then it's not nice!"
"Exactly, whatever the idol says is right!"
"Liang Feng, I love you!"
"I want to have your monkeys!"
Different opinions arose from the audience, but they were quickly drowned out by the frantic support of Liang Feng's fans.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and glanced at Liang Feng before turning to look at the contestant on stage.
At that moment, the contestant's face was pale, her eyes filled with deep self-doubt as if contemplating whether her performance truly had no redeeming qualities.
Jiang Chen was taken aback; he had not expected Liang Feng's words to have such a significant impact on the contestant, and he suddenly realized that the words of an idol star could indeed influence many people!
"I disagree!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice rang out — Yè Yùwǎn had spoken up.
