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

Chapter 138 He is just craving for my body!
Strictly speaking, there are indeed some problems with Xu Kong's Weibo post.

Because from the core point of view, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is definitely a type of ancient idol drama.

But if you look at it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this statement.

Because Xu Kong himself knew very well that the Fairy Sword he filmed was completely different from almost all the ancient idol dramas currently in China.

To be more specific, only "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be considered an ancient idol drama, while those currently on the market cannot be considered qualified ancient idol dramas.

But publicity is just a gimmick.

As for whether the audience will agree with Xu Kong’s remarks, that will have to wait until the show is officially broadcast.

After Xu Kong’s response, there was indeed a lot of discussion online.

Including Yiguo, many film and television self-media or film critics have begun to analyze what Xu Kong’s so-called "Xianxia drama" is.

This was indeed a term that had never appeared before.

If you only look at the surface meaning, it seems that some of the ancient idol dramas in the past can also be called fairy tale dramas. After all, the time setting and the like are definitely different from traditional martial arts dramas.

But at present, there is only a simple promotional video, and it seems that there is really no way to fully define it.

Some people expressed their anticipation for the "Xianxia drama" that Xu Kong mentioned, while others were disdainful and thought that the Xianxia drama that Xu Kong mentioned was just a meaningless gimmick.

January 3rd was Xu Kong’s last day in the capital.

After a few days of rest and taking care of some things in my own studio, I am finally ready to return to the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew.

"If we can wrap it up within this month, it will be much faster than I expected."

Artist Department, Zhu Yu spoke while watering the potted plants in her office.

"But according to your requirements, I'm not sure if the special effects team I contacted before can meet them."

As soon as Zhu Yu came back from vacation, she found Xu Kong who had not left yet.

"It's okay, let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we can contact other special effects companies from outside."

Xu Kong didn't care too much.

After all, although he attaches great importance to the special effects of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the current domestic industrial level is sufficient.

As long as there are no problems with the plot, everything is under control.

However, it seems that the follow-up budget is still sufficient. If it really doesn't work, we can cut some of the follow-up publicity expenses and allocate them to production.

"I didn't expect that Penguin Video would contact me before your drama was even finished."

Although Zhu Yu is resting, she will still pay attention to the news online when she has nothing to do.

I have to say that the trailer for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" at the New Year's Eve party was unexpectedly popular.

Putting aside the various controversies, whether they are positive or negative, the drama has definitely received a lot of attention.

Otherwise, Penguin Video would not have contacted us proactively.

The last time "Want to See You" was broadcast in cooperation with Penguin Video, Xu Kong was generally quite satisfied.

Although the other party seems to be opportunistic.

If it weren't for the few songs released in advance by Xu Kong that boosted the popularity of the drama, Penguin Video would not have been prepared to provide too good publicity and promotion resources.

But apart from this, Penguin's subsequent marketing and decisions are still quite good.

Therefore, Xu Kong is not opposed to cooperating with Penguin Video again.

But after all, Xu Kong is no longer the complete newcomer he was before.

Naturally, it is not possible to sell the copyright to them easily.

"The film and television department said that you have a certain degree of decision-making power over the copyright of "Legend of Sword and Fairy". They will refer to your opinion on which platform to cooperate with and who to negotiate with first."

Zhu Yu spoke up.

In fact, he was a little surprised. After all, Zhu Yu, the manager of the artist department, was not actually aware of the agreement between Xu Kong and Feng Ge.

Xu Kong also accounted for half of the final profits of Xianjian.

"I understand, but it's too early to talk about this now. The drama hasn't even finished filming yet."

Xu Kong nodded and said.

"The person in charge at Penguin also meant the same thing."

"They just said they hope you can give them priority in the copyright of your drama in the future, but they didn't mention any specific copyright fee."

Zhu Yu gave some explanation.

In her opinion, there are many cases where the copyrights of similar dramas by Fengge have been sold even though they have not been completed.

But it is indeed quite rare for a newcomer like Xu Kong to be actively contacted by a large platform like Penguin Video.

Even though Xu Kong's "Want to See You" had been successful once before, according to the nature of these platforms, they will remain on the sidelines before the finished film comes out.

"Oh, a New Year's gift."

After finishing the business, Xu Kong suddenly thought of something and put the paper bag he brought on Zhu Yu's desk.

In fact, as early as when Xu Kong came, Zhu Yu had noticed what was in the other party's hand.

When Xu Kong said that this was a gift for her, Zhu Yu became obviously flustered.

"No, no need!"

"What you sent before was enough."

"No, I mean thank you, but you really don't need it."

Seeing Zhu Yu who was obviously a little flustered, Xu Kong was unable to react this time.

The main reason was that he had already prepared gifts for some of his friends.

Such as Song Youyou, Su Zhi, even Shang Yuxin, and Guo Zihao and others from his own studio.

Then he remembered that Zhu Yu had really misunderstood him this time.

After Zhu Yu finished speaking, she found that Xu Kong did not respond.

Instead, he took out the gift box from the paper bag and started opening it in front of her.

No, how can you just take something like that out in such an occasion?
Zhu Yu was a little anxious and wanted to stop it.

But it was obviously too late.

Xu Kong took out a black cylindrical object from the box.
"What are you thinking?"

"Telescopic trekking pole! Sister Yu, don't you like camping or something during your holidays?"

"But if you want to change to the same kind of gift as before, it's not impossible. I saw that store had a lot of toys."

When Zhu Yu saw Xu Kong throw away his trekking pole and show it off, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

But when he heard Xu Kong's words, his face suddenly turned red.

Quickly signal the other party to stop talking.

"Hiking poles are great! No need to change to anything else."

As she spoke, Zhu Yu's voice became lower and lower, and she quickly stood up and snatched the trekking pole from Xu Kong's hand.

However, even though the atmosphere was a little awkward due to the misunderstanding, Zhu Yu quickly regained her original rationality and decency.

"It's me who didn't think it through. You've already given me a gift twice."

"Is there anything you want? I can return the favor."

The main reason was that the gift Xu Kong gave her last time was really too abnormal.

Otherwise, with Zhu Yu's personality, it is impossible that she has not even considered the matter of returning the gift.

"A gift?"

After hearing Zhu Yu's words, Xu Kong had really never thought about it.

Mainly because of her current conditions, there is really nothing she lacks.

He didn't have any hobbies like camping like Zhu Yu did.
Zhu Yu stared at Xu Kong seriously, hoping to get an answer from him.

She first saw Xu Kong muttering something and falling into deep thought, then he suddenly raised his head slowly and locked his eyes on her.

Then Xu Kong just stared at her for a long time.

No matter how slow Zhu Yu was, she now understood what the other party meant.

The gift Xu Kong wants isn’t me, right?

Thinking of this, she instantly made a cute gesture of crossing her hands, just like last time.

"Dah!"

"this is not OK!"

Zhu Yu originally hoped that this was just a misunderstanding or a mistake on her part.

I can hear Xu Kong's proactive explanation.

But unexpectedly, Xu Kong did not deny anything.

Instead, his expression was obviously disappointed.

Then he said, "That's gone."

"Sister Yu, you can take care of the delivery."

Now Zhu Yu had no idea what to say.

Including before, she always felt that she might have misunderstood Xu Kong's intention of giving her that gift.

After all, the explanation given by the other party at that time was indeed very reasonable and convinced Zhu Yu, who thought that she was too conservative and could not keep up with the thinking of young people today.

Finally, it was discovered now.

This kid Xu Kong did it on purpose, he just wants my body!

If it were someone else, or when she had just met Xu Kong, Zhu Yu would probably have given a warning with a serious expression.

But now, for some reason, Zhu Yu found that when she heard Xu Kong's hint just now, she not only did not feel any disgust, but she was even secretly a little happy in her heart.

Zhu Yu, ah Zhu Yu, you are really crazy!
Seeing that Zhu Yu was completely distracted at this time, I didn’t know what she was thinking about.

Xu Kong also knew the principle of stopping when enough, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and left.

"Crack!"

"Try again!"

Xu Kong, who was dressed in ancient costume, suddenly put away his cynical expression and couldn't help but frowned and shouted loudly.

It has been three days since the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" returned to resume filming.

According to Xu Kong's plan, the remaining shots could be completely filmed in half a month at most, and the entire drama would be completed.

But unexpectedly, the first period of filming after returning did not go very smoothly.

Nothing unexpected happened, and his and Song Youyou's condition were not affected by the New Year's Eve party. In fact, Song Youyou's subsequent performance became more and more smooth, and her acting skills were even better than in the previous filming.

What Xu Kong never expected was that the person who got into the accident was the most experienced Shang Yuxin.

The other party's performance in the previous filming was so good that Xu Kong could hardly find any fault with it.

It can almost be said that she was completely immersed in the role of Lin Yueru.

Who would have thought that after returning from the Beijing TV station's New Year's Eve party, the other party would be distracted from time to time every time they were filming opposite each other.

The condition was so bad that the number of NGs in one scene was even more than the entire previous long shoot.

"Excuse me."

"is my problem."

Shang Yuxin apologized to Xu Kong, other staff and actors on the set with an apologetic look on her face.

"Take a short break and we'll start again later."

Xu Kong sighed helplessly. Although his expression was very serious, he still saved face for Shang Yuxin in the end.

Unlike other directors, he did not directly accuse or abuse others.

Because he also guessed something. Shang Yuxin's condition after returning might have something to do with him.
Shang Yuxin was also a little annoyed at this moment.

She also didn't expect that her performance after returning would be so poor.

The key point is that she doesn’t know why, even when she was filming, now when she sees Xu Kong, she can’t help but think of what happened that day.

Not only was I completely unable to concentrate, but I even had a physiological reaction as a result.

This kind of thing was embarrassing enough just for her to think about.

Can he be a bit more capable? He even used only his hands.
But why is it so comfortable just using my hands?
"Are you okay?"

Xu Kong's voice suddenly came, which scared Shang Yuxin.

"I'm fine, thank you Director Xu."

Shang Yuxin sorted herself out and then answered with a smile.

Xu Kong hesitated for a moment and then took the initiative to move forward.

Shang Yuxin looked at Xu Kong's face that was getting closer and closer to her, and her heart was in a struggle. Finally, she closed her eyes, looking as if she was ready to be picked by anyone.

But to her surprise, Xu Kong just leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"If it's because of what happened that day, I apologize to you."

"But don't worry, as long as you don't do that in the future, I promise I won't do anything reckless."

Xu Kong thought that he still needed to calm Shang Lucha's emotions a little.

Otherwise, if it continues like this, will the next dramas be filmed?
The main reason was that he had been teased by the other party many times in a row, and Xu Kong couldn't bear it anymore, so he taught him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, this lesson seemed to be a bit too much.

Shang Yuxin's mood went through a roller coaster-like change in just a few seconds.

From the panic at the beginning to the calm acceptance of fate later, and even a little bit of joy.

In the end, when she found that Xu Kong was just talking in her ear, she felt a little disappointed.

"Don't worry, Director Xu. I will definitely not affect the subsequent filming."

“However, it may still take some time to adjust.”

Shang Yuxin assured with a serious expression.

On the contrary, Xu Kong was a little uncomfortable at the moment.

He himself did not expect that just one lesson would have such an obvious effect.

Shang Lucha seemed like a completely different person.

To be honest, even Xu Kong didn't know what to say next.

"Well, you take a break first, and we'll try again later."

Xu Kong didn’t know if his words had worked, but after the adjustments, Shang Yuxin’s condition really improved a lot.

Although there are still NG situations, distractions and mistakes are no longer as frequent as before.

"Okay, that's all for today."

As the sky gradually darkened, Xu Kong asked the entire crew to wrap up work.

In the entire drama of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", in addition to the three main actors Xu Kong, Song Youyou, and Shang Yuxin, other supporting characters also have considerable roles.

In the next few days, Xu Kong himself did not take any photos.

But as a director, I definitely still need to be there.

A few days later, Shang Yuxin, one of the leading actors, played the role of Lin Yueru and had her final wrap-up scene.
