I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 130 The gift has been used

"What instructions?"

Although Xu Kong spoke very softly just now, Zhu Yu still heard it.

But she didn't react immediately.

Then she thought of the gift Xu Kong gave her half a month ago.

I immediately understood what Xu Kong had just said.

After Xu Kong's explanation, the two never mentioned the gift again.

But Zhu Yu herself has indeed used it and read the instructions carefully.

This is her daily habit. She likes to read the instructions carefully before using the things she buys.

Strictly speaking, the experience is indeed greatly improved compared to doing it yourself.

Purple mood, just like its advertisement, can bring good mood.

Of course, Zhu Yu definitely couldn't say these things out loud.

Xu Kong suddenly mentioned this at this moment, causing Zhu Yu's face to turn red instantly.

"What did you say!"

"I want to ask you, there are a lot of New Year's Eve parties inviting you this year, are you going to attend?"

Zhu Yu calmed down a little before speaking.

"New Year's Eve party?"

Although it was a misunderstanding, Xu Kong was not affected much.

It's already the end of December. No matter whether it's various platforms or TV stations, as long as there is a little influence, a New Year's Eve party is indispensable in these years.

This year, Xu Kong's popularity and influence have risen so much that it is almost a matter of course to invite him.

"Who sent the invitations?"

Zhu Yu recalled for a moment before speaking:
"Except for Kiwi, the rest of the teams like Penguin Video, Tudou, and all the major local TV stations have sent invitations."

I don’t know if it’s because of the previous copyright issue of “Want to See You”, but I have a grudge with Qin Xian, the vice president of Kiwi.

Anyway, looking at the current situation, the other party still doesn't like Xu Kong very much.

If you are inclined, Xu Kong has collaborated with Penguin Video before, and the huge success of "Want to See You" can be considered a very successful project.

Apart from that, the best relationship is definitely with Mango.

But it is obvious that Wu Youxue was not in charge of this New Year's Eve party, otherwise the other party would have sent him a message personally.

These two sides are definitely Xu Kong’s first choice.

Although the so-called issue of taking sides is gradually disappearing now.

But compared to some unfamiliar platforms, those that have been cooperated with before are definitely the first choice.

It can continue to deepen previous friendships and turn them into your own network in the future.

However, there are also certain benefits to going to other platforms.

It can appropriately broaden his social circle in the entertainment industry.

"Sister Yu, do you have any suggestions for the New Year's Eve party?"

In the end, Xu Kong’s choice was to leave professional matters to professionals.

After all, Zhu Yu must know more about these TV stations and platforms than he does.

After hearing Xu Kong's question, Zhu Yu thought for a while before speaking:
"If it were me, I would suggest you choose a local TV station in Beijing."

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.

Strictly speaking, the local TV station in Beijing is not the most influential among all the major TV stations.

Not even in the top three.

However, Xu Kong knew that Zhu Yu's suggestion was definitely not based on the influence of the TV station itself.

Sure enough, Zhu Yu quickly gave an explanation.

“Although the influence of Beijing TV itself is not very big, it is still quite special because of factors such as geography.”

"Besides, since our Fengge headquarters is in Beijing, as an artist under our company, you will have to integrate into this circle sooner or later."

"In this regard, Beijing TV has a wide network of contacts. Cooperating with them will be beneficial and convenient for your future development."

Xu Kong also nodded thoughtfully.

Although Fengge's company is large in scale, he is almost like a leader in the small circles in Beijing and even nearby.

But this is only limited to Fengge’s own senior management, as well as some high-profile artists or directors.

For the artists under Fengge, because there are too many of them, they still need to build up their own so-called connections.

Strictly speaking, since Beijing TV Station took the initiative to invite him, Xu Kong didn't really have much reason to refuse.

"Then let's go to the Beijing TV New Year's Eve party."

This matter was not a big deal, so Xu Kong agreed without too much hesitation.

Zhu Yu nodded.

Originally, she was mainly worried about Xu Kong's shooting progress.

If you're nervous, it's actually okay to refuse the New Year's Eve party.

But after arriving, I discovered that although Xu Kong had participated in programs and presented awards during his time, it seemed to have no impact.

On the contrary, it is much faster than expected.

Zhu Min had been running around curiously on the set just now, and now seemed a little tired, so he came back and fell asleep on Zhu Yu's legs.

"If there's nothing else, I'll take her back to the hotel."

Zhu Yu looked down at Zhu Min on her lap and spoke.

Xu Kong also nodded.

However, before the other party left, Xu Kong still shouted something.

"Sister Yu."

Zhu Yu looked at Xu Kong.

“Is there an instruction manual?”

Xu Kong asked in a low voice.

This time Zhu Yu understood what he meant immediately and blushed.

Then he protested in a mosquito-like voice:

"Don't mention this matter again."

Seeing that Zhu Yu was having a hard time holding her daughter, and since there was still some time before the shooting started in the afternoon, Xu Kong simply went to take Zhu Min himself.

"Let me help you carry this little guy back."

Zhu Yu didn't say anything this time, but she didn't refuse either, which meant she agreed.

The hotel where the mother and daughter stayed was near the filming location of the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew, and it only took a few minutes to drive there.

After arriving at the hotel, Xu Kong put Zhu Min on the bed and helped cover her with a quilt. Then he quietly closed the door and left.

At the door of the room, Zhu Yu gently closed the door and said, "Thank you."

"Sister Yu, you are too polite."

He replied with a smile.

"Oh yeah, actually, about the instruction manual."

After hesitating for a while, Xu Kong spoke again:
"My main concern is buying pirated copies."

"You know, quality is important for that kind of stuff."

Although it was not stated explicitly, Zhu Yu still understood what Xu Kong meant.

This time he did not ask Xu Kong to stop talking, but answered in a low voice: "Yes."

Xu Kong didn't hear clearly at first, and asked subconsciously: "What did you say?"

"The instruction manual has instructions."

Xu Kong heard it clearly this time, and said with a smile: "Then I feel relieved."

“Is the quality okay?”

Zhu Yu: “No, no.”

Zhu Yu stuttered, a rare occurrence in her speech.

But then he realized the problem with what he said.

Or maybe it was the trap in Xu Kong's question just now. How did she know that the quality was ok?
Didn’t you just tell the other person that you used it?
Of course, Xu Kong didn't ask any more questions at this moment.

nodded.

"Then Sister Yu, I will go back to the crew first."

Zhu Yu did not answer until Xu Kong disappeared at the end of the hotel corridor, then she reacted.

I subconsciously reached out and touched my face, and found that it had become hot and red without me noticing.

It's the end of the year, and the entire entertainment industry does feel like it's suddenly become lively.

The New Year’s Eve parties of various TV stations, including those of slightly larger platforms like Kiwi and Penguin Video, almost all have large-scale events.

For most stars in the domestic entertainment industry, this represents a stable and high-quality resource.

Even some less famous or even out-of-date artists can still get not-so-low appearance fees and a certain amount of exposure from some local TV stations with little influence.

So it's not just Xu Kong. People like Song Youyou and Shang Yuxin from the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew also received many invitations to New Year's Eve parties.

It is worth mentioning that which TV station Xu Kong will go to this time has almost become a hotly discussed topic in the industry.

The main reason is Xu Kong’s current popularity. If he is placed among the top stars in the domestic entertainment industry, he would be at the T0 level.

In addition, Xu Kong himself has now gotten rid of most of the labels of a traffic star.

Even if the fans don't praise it loudly everywhere.

But when it comes to being a talented singer-songwriter, there will rarely be any rebuttal on the Internet.

At the same time, relying on the awards won at the beginning of the month, plus the subsequent victory in the "Our Song" program, the relevant rhythm has passed.

A little observation will reveal that Xu Kong's passerby plate is now so large that it is even scary.

Top stars with a large number of fans will indeed become popular among all parties.

But if we add the powerful passerby plate, it will really become a thing that everyone fights for.

Therefore, in fact, all the TV stations put a lot of effort into inviting Xu Kong to participate in the New Year's Eve Gala.

Even Xu Kong's priority is ranked at the top in almost every TV station.

However, these so-called business connections were all handed over to Zhu Yu, and Xu Kong himself was hardly disturbed too much.

The news that Xu Kong finally went to Beijing TV Station still surprised many people.

The most predicted one before was still Mango.

After all, from the previous cooperation between Xu Kong and Mango, it can be seen that the relationship between the two sides is very good.

"Is the person in charge of our New Year's Eve party giving you a hard time?"

Even Wu Youxue took the initiative to call Xu Kong.

"No."

In fact, Xu Kong had no idea about the affairs of these TV stations.

Zhu Yu had almost taken care of everything for him.

It's up to him to decide where to go.

Of course, Xu Kong also thought of mango first.

If Wu Youxue contacted him first, he would definitely agree.

But Wu Youxue didn't come, so Xu Kong followed Zhu Yu's advice and went to Beijing TV Station.

Wu Youxue's sudden call made Xu Kong a little embarrassed.

Because if the other party asked him to change his mind and go to Mango TV at this time, although it was possible, after all, he had not signed a contract with Beijing TV Station.

But it has been verbally agreed to and the relevant news has been released.

That would really offend them.

Fortunately, Wu Youxue's purpose of calling was obviously not this.

"It's fine if you don't."

"If Mango TV uses any resources or cooperation to threaten you during the New Year's Eve party, don't worry about it. Their power is not that great."

Only then did Xu Kong understand.

It seems that even Wu Youxue's position in Mango is not completely without competitors.

The person in charge of this Mango New Year's Eve Gala is most likely not getting along with Wu Youxue, or simply has a big grudge against him.

Otherwise, Wu Youxue would naturally know that if he came to Xu Kong, there would be no way Xu Kong would refuse.

I guess the reason why he didn't come was intentional.

"I see."

Xu Kong opened his mouth and answered.

Then he asked with some concern: "Director Wu, is everything okay at Mango?"

Wu Youxue replied nonchalantly:
"fine."

"They are just some small characters, don't take them too seriously."

"I haven't even retired or left Mango yet, but I'm already looking to support a successor."

"Do you really think that anyone can do my job?"

After saying something incoherent, Wu Youxue hung up.

Xu Kong is not very clear about what’s going on inside Mango.

But he seemed to have heard that several directors and senior executives of Mango TV seemed to think that Wu Youxue’s power was too great.

It seems like these rumors are not completely groundless.

"Are you going too?"

"Is it also a Beijing TV station?"

Xu Kong was a little surprised when he heard what Youyou said.

Although it is normal for Song Youyou to be invited given her status as the nation's first love.

But he didn't expect that he would be with Song Youyou.

"I normally don't attend such parties, mainly because there aren't many performances to go around."

"But this time Brother Xu Kong is going, so I want to go too."

"And the song you wrote for me before now has a performance program that I can show off."

After hearing Song Youyou's words, Xu Kong remembered that he seemed to have written a song for Song Youyou before.

I never thought that there would actually be a day when I could officially perform on stage.

Of course, perhaps because Xu Kong wrote the song "The Magic of Love" for her, Song Youyou still practiced it very seriously.

It is one of the few, no, the only song that the other party sings that is acceptable.

"New Year's Eve party? It seems that Beijing TV station has also sent me an invitation."

Shang Yuxin heard what the two were saying and suddenly interrupted.

It is normal for a first-line actress like Shang Yuxin, who has been famous for a long time, to receive invitations.

"But I usually don't go to parties like this."

Shang Yuxin said thoughtfully.

Xu Kong actually knew something about it. Although Shang Yuxin had been in the industry for quite some time, she obviously had a lot of ideas about her career planning.

I think she said in an interview before that she can't do anything other than acting, and that she is more suitable to be an audience member at a party like this, as she doesn't have any outstanding talents.

"Why don't you consider participating this year?"

Xu Kong suddenly remembered something and spoke.

However, Shang Yuxin was very persistent on this matter and still shook her head.

"Don't go."

Xu Kong didn't care, but continued:

"The main reason is that I want you to promote our drama."

Shang Yuxin was stunned for a moment.

"publicity?"

"Will the party agree to this?"

After hearing this, Xu Kong smiled and replied:

"Of course, I was planning to let you sing this interlude in the play."
