My capital is quite large.

Chapter 123 I Am a Singer

"Neither hot nor cold?"

"Since natural growth is too slow, let's accelerate its ripening artificially!"

Li Feng waved his hand and threw out a game-changing plan that was enough to shake up the domestic music variety show market once again!

"Old Han, immediately have the legal department prepare a brand new variety show proposal, including the name, core competition logic, and stage design concept, and register it as intellectual property worldwide!"

"The name of this new show will be 'I Am a Singer'!"

Old Han paused for a moment, his hand holding the pen hovering in mid-air: "President Li, 'I Am a Singer'? That sounds... a bit like 'The Voice of China'? Are we going to create a sister show to 'The Voice of China'?"

"Similar? Completely different!"

Li Feng's eyes gleamed with an ambition to overturn the entire Chinese music scene:

"The Voice of China is a stage for ordinary people to realize their dreams, but I Am a Singer is a true battle of twilight!"

"This show won't have any auditions! No amateurs allowed!"

"I want you to send out invitations to those top-tier superstars and established artists in the Chinese music scene!"

"Bring them down from their pedestals! Let them compete like newcomers, a real battle of wits, and face the brutal elimination vote of a jury of 500 audience members!"

Old Han felt a chill run down his spine. They were pulling established superstars down to be contestants, subjecting them to elimination by ordinary viewers' votes?!

This competition format is too harsh and unconventional! How could those big names who care about their image possibly agree to come and put up with this kind of treatment?

"A generous reward will surely attract brave men. Moreover, for veteran singers eager to make a comeback or prove their abilities, this is undoubtedly the biggest exposure they'll ever get!"

Li Feng saw through Lao Han's concerns and sneered, "As long as we offer a high enough fee and use the most advanced stage design and sound equipment in all of Asia, someone will be willing to take a gamble."

"Put our own people—Deng Ziqi, Li Ronghao, Xue Zhiqian, and Xu Song—into this lineup of top-tier singers as either 'challenger singers' or 'dark horses'!"

"If they can display even the slightest bit of amazing talent in front of these superstars, the sheer volume and buzz generated by such a high-level challenge could propel all four of them to stardom overnight!"

"I understand, Mr. Li! This proposal is absolutely brilliant!" Old Han was so excited that his face turned red.

"Also," Li Feng said, sitting back down in the boss's chair.

"This time, let's not give the exclusive television broadcasting rights for 'I Am a Singer' to Hunan TV. Let's partner with Liangjiang TV!"

"Now that Haofeng's headquarters have moved to Nanjing, they should at least provide some real financial support to our hometown's film and entertainment industry. Let's boost the ratings of Liangjiang TV and let it compete with Hunan TV!"

By allocating his most valuable variety show resources to local TV stations, Li Feng is not only repaying a favor, but also making a brilliant move to solidify his political and business foundation in Nanjing!

Old Han immediately understood: "President Li is incredibly insightful! I'll take my team right away to meet with the top management of Liangjiang TV to discuss this huge opportunity!"

……

Just as Lao Han was receiving orders and preparing to start working on the new variety show.

Zhang Xinyu walked in, holding a multinational business fax in her hand.

"Boss, people from South Korea have arrived."

Zhang Xinyu handed the fax to Li Feng, her eyes revealing a strange look.

"A senior executive from the copyright acquisition department of South Korean broadcaster SBS contacted us this morning. They said they are very interested in several variety show proposals held by Haofeng Film & Television and hope to pay a high price to buy out the localization production rights in South Korea."

"Oh? Which one did they take a liking to?" Li Feng took the fax, not surprised at all.

More than a year ago, when he had just made his first fortune through games, he had the legal department register the names and core formats of those hit variety shows from his previous life, such as "Running Man," "Masked Singer," and "Go Fighting!", not only in China, but also at great expense in filing them with the Korean Intellectual Property Office!

Zhang Xinyu pointed to the names on the fax: "What they value most is that outdoor name tag ripping reality show called 'Running Man,' and the 'Masked Singer' format. SBS offered a very generous price."

"If the price is right, of course we can sell it."

Li Feng looked at the quote on the fax and chuckled softly.

He has never hesitated to make money off South Koreans' foreign exchange.

However, as the owner of these super variety show IPs, Li Feng naturally had to include clauses in the contracts that best served his interests.

"Tell the Koreans that you can sell them the copyright so they can make their own films."

"However! An additional exclusivity clause must be added to the contract!"

A hint of domineering glint flashed in Li Feng's eyes: "Before the Chinese versions of 'Running Man' and 'Masked Singer' that our Haofeng Films is preparing to film are released..."

"The Korean version absolutely forbids pre-recording and pre-broadcasting!"

"Even if they buy it, they'd better keep it locked up in the warehouse! Only after we've finished the biggest piece of the pie can they eat the scraps!"

The order in which I register IP addresses—primary and secondary—must be determined by me!

......

Jinling, Haofeng Group Building, artist-exclusive rest area.

Lee Shin was sitting on the sofa, holding a brand new notice that had just been delivered by his executive agent.

Since the airing of "iPartment 2" and "Meteor Shower 2", her popularity and national recognition have soared, firmly establishing her as one of the most popular young actresses.

In addition, with the upcoming film "A Chinese Ghost Story" to be filmed soon, her schedule should have been fully booked long ago.

However, in the past two weeks, because the pre-production action choreography training for the film has not yet officially started, she has had a rare short break.

I thought I could finally get a few days of rest, but the company threw me a brand new variety show in the mix.

Moreover, it was personally assigned by the boss, Li Feng!

"Running Man? An outdoor competitive reality show?"

Li Xin frowned slightly as she looked at the somewhat strange name on the notice board. "Regular guest list... let me see."

Upon seeing this, Li Xin was immediately stunned.

The lineup on the roster can be described as "eclectic" and "weird"!

Not only does it feature Han Geng, a former top idol who has just returned to China and whose popularity is at its peak, but it also includes Yang Yang, a rising star from within the company, and Zhang Ruoyun, a newly signed "resource star".

Besides these, there were two other names that left her completely baffled: Xue Zhiqian and Li Ronghao?

Aren't these the singers from the company's music department who are constantly ridiculed by netizens for being "ugly" or "washed up"? Why are they doing variety shows?

What's even more outrageous is the last name on the list!

"Shen Teng? Before being signed by the company, he was performing in stage plays with Happy Twist?" Li Xin rubbed her eyes, looking completely astonished.

How can a stage actor who has barely acted in any TV dramas be a regular cast member alongside these popular celebrities?

What kind of amazing match is this, boss?
