Chapter 162 Fans' Complaints

As soon as the call connected, Lu Zifan began to complain urgently: "Second Master, you have to stand up for me! That Xiao Qingfeng is really too much. He doesn't respect me at all and humiliated me in public, making me lose face in front of everyone. Second Master, you must help me get revenge and teach him a lesson."

Second Master was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Little Deer, do you know that the Xiao Qingfeng you're dealing with is no ordinary person? His status in the entertainment industry is extraordinary; he's practically the number one star. The eight major awards he's won are all top-tier honors in the industry. Moreover, he's become the Seventh Heavenly King, with over 150 million followers on Douyin alone. The current Xiao Qingfeng isn't someone anyone can just mess with. This matter is a bit difficult."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zifan was greatly shocked. He never expected that Xiao Qingfeng would have such a powerful background and influence.

But he was unwilling to let Xiao Qingfeng off so easily, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Second Master, is there really no other way? I really can't swallow this insult."

Second Master sighed slightly and said, "Little Deer, it's not that I don't want to help you, but Xiao Qingfeng's power is immense now. Taking action rashly might bring us a lot of trouble. However, don't be too hasty. We can discuss this matter at length. Perhaps we can wait for a suitable opportunity to find a way to deal with him."

Although Lu Zifan was dissatisfied, he knew that what the Second Master said made sense.

He said helplessly, "Alright, Second Master, then I'll do as you say. I'll bear with it for now, and we'll deal with Xiao Qingfeng together when we have the chance."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zifan was filled with resentment and anger.

He secretly vowed to find an opportunity to take revenge on Xiao Qingfeng and make him pay for his actions.

Meanwhile, Xiao Qingfeng was still immersed in the post-production of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and was completely unaware of Lu Zifan's conspiracy.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zifan felt a burning sense of resentment.

He couldn't accept that Xiao Qingfeng had achieved such great success, especially after learning that Xiao Qingfeng had won the title of Seventh Heavenly King, which made his jealousy even stronger.

"Hmph, Xiao Qingfeng, the number one in the music industry? Bah! I refuse to believe I can't beat you in music." Lu Zifan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

He began racking his brains to figure out how to defeat Xiao Qingfeng in the music field.

He quickly came up with a solution—to invite top celebrities from the southern half of the country to support the event.

Lu Zifan immediately took action and contacted a very popular singer in South Korea.

This singer is known for her unique voice and amazing stage performances, and has a large number of loyal fans, making her a true top star in South Korea.

Lu Zifan extended an invitation to the singer, promising generous compensation. After some consideration, the singer accepted Lu Zifan's invitation.

Lu Zifan was overjoyed, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in defeating Xiao Qingfeng in the music field.

He began actively preparing a grand music event, intending to let this top South Korean singer shine at the event, thereby suppressing Xiao Qingfeng's popularity.

After the "Chinese Paladin" fan meeting, major television stations extended offers to him, all eager to acquire the first broadcast rights for "Chinese Paladin".

In Xiao Qingfeng's office, three television station executives sat upright.

An executive from a traditional satellite TV giant spoke first: "Producer Xiao, our TV station's influence in the industry is evident to all. If 'Chinese Paladin' can premiere on our station, we will provide abundant promotional resources, from prime-time advertising to joint promotion with multiple popular variety shows, which will definitely make this drama a phenomenal hit."

Another representative from an emerging online platform chimed in: "Producer Xiao, online platforms are developing rapidly these days. Our platform has a huge young user base with a very high acceptance of fantasy and martial arts themes. If you choose us, we will invest a huge amount of money in promotion to ensure that the popularity continues to rise during the premiere. Moreover, we can also provide flexible playback modes to meet the needs of different viewers."

The last representative from the local television station sincerely stated, "Producer Xiao, although we may not be as large as the previous two, we have a deep understanding of our local audience and a passion for serving them. We will do our utmost to promote this drama and make it a household name in our region. At the same time, we are also willing to offer more discounts on the price."

Xiao Qingfeng listened attentively to the speeches of the three responsible persons, weighing the various pros and cons in his mind.

He knew that choosing the first broadcast rights was crucial to the success of a TV series, affecting not only ratings and word-of-mouth, but also subsequent copyright sales and business collaborations.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Qingfeng slowly spoke: "I have felt everyone's sincerity. 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' is a work that our team has carefully crafted, and we hope to find the most suitable platform to allow it to realize its greatest value. I will take into account the conditions proposed by everyone, and I hope that everyone can give us more support and cooperation in the future."

The three officials nodded in agreement, indicating their willingness to fully cooperate.

The meeting continued in a tense yet expectant atmosphere, with Xiao Qingfeng and his colleagues engaging in in-depth discussions and negotiations on the specific terms of the first broadcast rights, the publicity plan, the broadcast time, and other details.

Finally, Xiao Qingfeng smiled and said to the three TV station executives, "Gentlemen, I understand your sincerity and eagerness, but this matter is of great importance, and I do need time to consider it carefully in order to choose the most suitable broadcasting platform for 'Chinese Paladin.' I hope you can understand."

Although the three leaders were somewhat disappointed, they understood Xiao Qingfeng's caution and nodded to indicate that they were willing to wait for his decision.

After the meeting, Xiao Qingfeng carefully analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of each platform and weighed the impact of different preferential conditions on the broadcast effect of the TV series.

He knew that this decision not only concerned the success or failure of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but also whether his and the entire production team's hard work would be rewarded to the fullest extent.

For a full two weeks, Xiao Qingfeng was busy with work related to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

However, Xiao Qingfeng's fans were not happy, feeling neglected because Xiao Qingfeng had not released a new song for half a month, which made some fans who love Xiao Qingfeng's music dissatisfied.

In the comment section of Xiao Qingfeng's personal social media account, fans began to complain.

"Qingfeng, you haven't released a new song for half a month. We've been waiting forever."

"Master Xiao, we are all your loyal music fans! Hurry up and release a new song. No matter how good the drama is, we can't forget the music!"

"Producer Xiao, we are really looking forward to 'Chinese Paladin,' but we music fans can't be neglected either."

"Xiao Tianwang, I really want to hear your new song. These past two weeks without your music have been so dull."

Various complaints and urging comments kept emerging in the comments section.

Xiao Qingfeng happened to see these comments during a break from his busy work.

So, Xiao Qingfeng logged onto his Weibo account and posted a message: "I'm very sorry to have kept everyone waiting. I've been busy with work on 'Chinese Paladin' lately and have neglected everyone's expectations for music. I promise that after I finish this work, I will hold an online concert so everyone can enjoy it to their heart's content!"

This Weibo post immediately sparked a warm response from fans.
