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

Chapter 144: Hot Explosion, Xu Kong and Su Zhi Work Together Again
It probably took more than an hour to record the song, but Xu Kong and Su Zhi stayed in the recording studio until dinner time.

If it was Youyou, she might not be able to stand up when she left.

But Su Zhi is different. Her powerful recovery ability once again shocked Xu Kong.

On the contrary, when he walked out of the recording studio, he felt his legs and feet were a little sore.

"I will probably have to attend a few performances in the future. Please let me know if you need any help in the next few days."

Su Zhi spoke up to remind her.

Xu Kong recalled that the only song that needed to be recorded now should be the theme song of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

So he shook his head.

It's April now, and the weather in BJ has started to get warmer.

At the same time, the second trailer of The Legend of Sword and Fairy was also released.

It is still not the final official trailer. After all, according to the normal process, the current "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has just been completed. Not to mention the release date, even the broadcast platform has not yet been determined.

Of course, there is a reason for choosing this time.

After all, the subsequent film screenings are about to begin, and showing the future market prospects of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" at this time will help with the subsequent negotiations on copyright fees.

The final effect far exceeded Xu Kong's expectations.

The day the trailer was released, it immediately became the number one trending topic on Weibo.

And the popularity is still continuing to grow.

"A preview of Xu Kong's new drama, and a new song?"

In Feiniao’s live broadcast room, he recently had an argument with a first-line singer.

They have been in a row for nearly half a month because they questioned the other party's half-open microphone at concert and his serious decline in singing skills.

So when I saw the message on the barrage, I was a little slow to realize it.

However, Feiniao put down what he was doing and opened Weibo as soon as possible.

"This trailer feels much more sophisticated than the one at the New Year's Eve party!"

Fat Bird commented casually.

Soon, various clips of The Legend of Sword and Fairy appeared in the video.

"SPL"

"Singer: Su Zhi"

"Lyrics: Xu Kong"

"Composition: Xu Kong"

"It's actually the theme song sung by Su Zhi?"

"Fuck, what a pleasant surprise. But it seems reasonable for Xu Kong to invite Su Zhi."

"Another new song. I feel like I'll have a lot of good songs to listen to in addition to watching Xu Kong's new drama!"

After seeing Su Zhi's name, the barrage reacted quite enthusiastically.

It can be seen that even quite a few of the couple’s fans have begun to feel ecstatic.

"The body that has been sleeping for a thousand years wakes up from the rotten branches and dead leaves"

"It is the sad sigh of the nightingale that breaks the spell"

Su Zhi's voice was heard, and her style was not the love songs that she was good at. Instead, the whole song from the lyrics to the melody was quite grand.

Of course, for the singing queen Su Zhi, the song is not difficult and her overall performance is quite stable.

But at this moment, even Fat Bird himself found it difficult to focus completely on the music itself.

The main thing is that this trailer is almost full of scenes with exquisite special effects.

In addition, the last trailer was broadcast on the big screen at the New Year’s Eve party, so the clarity was not satisfactory.

This time, we can see more clearly the costumes of Xu Kong, Song Youyou, and Shang Yuxin in the play.

Especially Xu Kong’s ancient costume, he is so handsome.

In addition, it can be clearly seen that the texture of the entire drama is different from the previous ancient idol dramas.

This made Feiniao, who had never watched ancient costume dramas, become somewhat interested.

It wasn't until Su Zhi in the trailer sang the chorus of the song that his attention was drawn back to the song.

"Life is to prove the existence of love"

"There is a greater life after the fire"

"The quality of the theme song remains at the same high standard as before."

Fei Niao gave a relatively restrained evaluation.

Of course the song is good. If it were a new song by some other musician, it would have been praised to the sky a long time ago.

But if it happens to Xu Kong now, it would not be shocking.

However, it can be seen that, judging from the soundtrack alone, this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" may not lose to the previous "Want to See You".

"Killing is to praise the magnificence before destruction"

"The night is like the deep eyes of a wolf, waiting alone for dawn"

It was not until the entire trailer was finished that Fat Bird spoke.

“How’s the quality?”

"Xu Kong's performance was normal, but I'm still not satisfied with one thing."

Fei Niao’s words indeed caused a lot of question marks on the screen of many people in the live broadcast room.

But he spoke again soon after.

"What I am dissatisfied with is that Xu Kong writes so many new songs for his own dramas every time."

“There is still no news about my own album.”

Many people couldn't help but complain about the fat bird's heavy breathing, but after thinking about it carefully, everyone agreed.

Since last year’s music festival, everyone has had high expectations for Xu Kong’s new album.

I didn't expect that so much time has passed and there is still no sign.

All my time is devoted to the new drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Movie and TV fans were satisfied with the trailer, but people in Feiniao’s live broadcast room were all music fans, so they were naturally not very satisfied.

Some people can't help but urge for a new album.

Of course, these are just minor incidents.

With the release of the latest trailer, the hottest drama is naturally Xu Kong's new drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Last time, there was a lot of discussion about Xu Kong’s new drama.

Especially after Xu Kong said that what he was shooting was not a costume drama but a fantasy drama, various online film and television bloggers, self-media, film critics, etc. came out to express their opinions.

Various rhythms and voices of doubt never stopped.

Some people think that Xu Kong was deliberately hyping up the issue, while others think that Xu Kong's words were purely due to his inflated and overly arrogant attitude after the success of "Want to See You".

Of course, Yiguo, the initiator of that discussion, wrote his latest blog analysis as soon as the latest trailer of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was released.

"Although we still don't know what type of fairy tale drama Xu Kong is talking about."

"But judging from the trailer that has been released so far, I do need to retract some of my initial judgments." "The trailer shows that whether it is the costumes of the characters in the play, the texture of the whole play, or the most eye-catching special effects, they are all of a very high standard and completeness."

"But in the final analysis, the most important thing about the whole drama is still the plot."

"It's still too early to draw a conclusion. After all, this is a new drama that doesn't even have a specific release date."

"But I still hold onto my original opinion. Xu Kong's new drama has a high chance of failing."

"I'm not talking about whether the show will be a hit or not. I believe that with the current popularity and quality of Xu Kong's new show, it's normal for it to get good data or even become a hit."

“But in word of mouth”

Yiguo's article is actually relatively objective.

There is no denying the advantages shown in the trailer so far, especially the special effects.

But at the same time, she didn't think Xu Kong's new drama could have any new ideas, or that the plot could be handled well.

After all, many plots of ancient idol dramas have been filmed to death now, and it is too difficult for Xu Kong to break out of the original framework.

In addition, judging from the quality of "Want to See You", Xu Kong's screenwriting ability is definitely not weak.

Yiguo believes that Xu Kong chose ancient idol drama actually for the traffic and popularity, rather than to continue to maintain his previous reputation.

Yiguo is so large in scale that it is almost one of the most influential film and television self-media in China.

The popularity has remained high since its release.

So Xu Kong was the first to see this related analysis article.

I have to say that Xu Kong himself felt that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said.

The reason why he chose "Legend of Sword and Fairy" instead of other dramas was mainly to make money.

The main reason was that he was at Fengqing Entertainment at the time, and he had already anticipated the situation that Fengqing Entertainment would face after its two new dramas were broadcast.

At that time, if Yu Yaqing wanted to help Feng Qing get entertained again, Xianjian was undoubtedly the best choice.

Maybe a small number of viewers do not approve of the drama itself, but as long as there are no problems with the casting and basic production, this drama will definitely be a hit.

And it’s a phenomenal hit.

Later, when Feng Ge came, he thought that since the script had been written, he might as well continue filming the show.

Of course, regarding the difference between whether "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a fairy tale or an ancient idol drama, Xu Kong himself actually feels that there is no conflict between the two.

This drama itself can be said to be a fantasy drama, but it also follows the style of ancient idol drama.

The reason why he was confident was because he had watched other ancient puppet shows in this world.

It cannot be said that it was a complete crush, it can only be said that it was completely worth beating.

Whether it is the plot, the world setting, or the current set-up and special effects of the Legend of Sword and Fairy film, Xu Kong has full confidence.

As long as the drama itself is good, Xu Kong doesn't even need to say anything after it is broadcast, because there will be great scholars to debate for him.

Qin Xian arrived this morning at a high-end hotel in Beijing.

In addition to attending the internal screening of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", he also had some other business meetings in Beijing, so he simply came two days in advance.

But I didn’t expect that as soon as the plane landed and I arrived at the hotel, before I had time to rest, I saw the news about the latest trailer of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

“This heat is really high!”

Even he, the vice president of Kiwi Fruit, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

From noon to night, Xu Kong's new drama has been steadily staying at the top of the hot search list.

Despite such popularity, the show has not yet been scheduled and the broadcast time is uncertain.

Xu Kong is worthy of being a member of Fengqing Entertainment. His skills in hype and publicity are first-rate.

In Qin Xian's opinion, from taking advantage of the Beijing TV station's New Year's Eve party to deliberately hyping up the so-called "Xianxia and ancient idol" debate, Xu Kong's step-by-step design was almost impeccable.

And they chose this time period to release the latest trailer.

It is also equivalent to telling those platform owners who come to participate in the film screening that look at the popularity of my drama, and you have to think carefully when making a bid!

"According to the information revealed by Feng Ge, the length of Xu Kong's new drama will be around thirty to forty episodes."

"This internal screening should not be open to the public, but in addition to us, I guess several other video platforms have also received invitations. Even some local TV stations, such as Mango TV, will also participate."

"Not only us, other platforms also attach great importance to it. I heard that Qin Xian from Kiwifruit has also come to Beijing."

Zeng Xi's expression became more serious as he listened to his assistant's report.

Originally, he had contacted Xu Kong in advance, thinking that he should be able to book the other party's new drama in advance.

Who knows, Xu Kong himself may be very young, but Fengge, as one of the largest film and television companies in the country, is still too shrewd.

When he was vague about not agreeing at the beginning, he guessed that it would not be easy for him to get the copyright of Xu Kong's new drama.

But I didn’t expect that they would directly organize an internal film screening and invite all the platform parties.

It's obvious that they are just waiting for them to bid a high price to snatch it away.

Zeng Xi had good performance last year. He has gradually moved from being the head of the copyright department to being responsible for some other aspects of Penguin Video's business.

If Penguin Video can still surpass Kiwi this year, his position as vice president will almost certainly be secure.

So he is almost certain to win Xu Kong's new drama this time.

Of course, the premise is that there are no major problems with the quality of the finished film.

For this purpose, they even prepared a copyright quotation of tens of millions for one episode.

The maximum budget limit is less than 500 million.

If Xu Kong's drama chooses to be broadcast on satellite TV, it will not be completely exclusive. Such copyright fees are almost the top level in the industry.

He didn't think that with Qin Xian's personality, he would be willing to pay such a high price.

At the same time, for Zeng Xi himself, although the money was paid by the company and not his own, if it fails in the end, he estimates that his career will be over.

It can be said that this is a huge gamble with one's future.

As for the source of Zeng Xi's confidence in this gamble, it is not because of Fengge, a well-established domestic film and television company, nor is it the popularity of the drama before it is even aired.

It’s purely Xu Kong, a young newcomer in the film and television industry.

He still hasn't forgotten the confidence Xu Kong had when he chose to broadcast "Want to See You" in a profit-sharing model.

Since the other party can gamble, why can't he?

"Where did the news come from?"

"Don't tell me Feng Ge released it himself."

"Even if Xu Kong's new drama is very popular now, the copyright fee of five or six million per episode is already the maximum."

Qin Xian was somewhat disdainful of the gossip that his subordinate Huang Qifeng had obtained from somewhere.

He didn't think that any company would be willing to pay tens of millions per episode for copyright fees. Even though Xu Kong was very popular now, he was still a newcomer in the film and television industry.

The copyright fee of five or six million per episode is enough for Xu Kong's new drama to make a profit.

The copyright fees paid by subsequent TV stations such as Mango and Tomato will be equivalent to pure profit, and the price is estimated to be no lower than this figure.

A return rate of 100% is already quite exaggerated.

What's more, the investment in Xu Kong's new drama this time is as high as over 200 million yuan. The return rate of such a large-scale project is estimated to be quite successful even within Fengge Company.

Do you really think that these platforms are rich and can get everyone to pay exorbitant prices just by holding a movie screening?
Anyway, Qin Xian couldn't be that stupid.
