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

Chapter 188 Xu Kong Cares a Lot About Me as His “Opponent”

It can be seen that although Su Zhi never mentioned it, she still cared very much about Xu Kong's attitude towards her.

Of course, because of Su Zhi's personality, Xu Kong really saved a lot of effort.

However, Xu Kong had never thought that Song Youyou would go out of her way to find Su Zhi.

After all, the other party never mentioned this matter.

This doesn't seem like Song Youyou's style.

It seems that we can’t completely regard Youyou as a naive person. Although she is easy to coax, the relationship between him and Su Zhi will still be suspected.

Not much thought was spent on this little episode.

After the plane landed in Xingcheng, Xu Kong specifically told the program crew that there was no need for anyone to pick him up.

After he and Su Zhi put their luggage away, they went out for a stroll.

Xu Kong really enjoys this kind of leisure time.

I've been very busy lately.

Although he met Su Zhi every day, they spent most of their time producing each other's new albums.

"do you want to eat?"

He pointed at the marshmallow opposite and found that Su Zhi had glanced at it several times inadvertently.

So Xu Kong asked.

Without waiting for Su Zhi to answer, Xu Kong bought it directly.

Xu Kong also discovered that although Su Zhi seemed to be quite indifferent to everything.

But I actually like sweet food.

After playing around in Star City for a day, Xu Kong went to meet Wu Youxue in the evening.

Compared to the last time they met in Beijing, it was obvious that Wu Youxue looked much more tired.

It seems that being the deputy director of Mango TV is not that easy.

"This year's 'Singer' is expected to start recording soon. Are you sure you don't want to participate?"

The main reason Wu Youxue came to see Xu Kong this time was for the "Singer" program which was about to start recording.

"Director Wu, you've seen it, I don't even have enough time to record your other show."

This is really not Xu Kong making excuses.

Of course he knew that after the huge hit of "Singer" last year, there would definitely be no shortage of guests this time.

And there will be a lot of people rushing to get on it.

Even for Xu Kong now, if he can win the championship of "Singer", it will be of great help to his career.

But Xu Kong still wasn't that interested in this show.

"I see."

Wu Youxue did not force it.

Then they started talking about other topics and no longer mentioned letting Xu Kong participate in the recording of the latest season of "Singer".

Although Wu Youxue won the game with Mango TV's top management last time and became the new deputy director, he is still under a lot of pressure now.

After all, Mango has been on a downward trend since Wu Youxue took leave last year.

Whether it is the New Year’s Eve Gala or the most powerful variety show in the past, the data has shown a serious decline.

Even lost a lot of loyal viewers.

After Wu Youxue came back, he did try hard to make amends.

But judging from the current results, we will definitely not be able to return to last year, especially the heyday of the "Singer" live broadcast.

"If possible, I hope you can participate in two more episodes of the show Autumn Sound."

Wu Youxue finally spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

There is no way. The variety show "Autumn Concert" was originally intended to restore some of Mango TV's reputation.

Therefore, there are indeed no high requirements on the program data.

But who knows, the reputation of the program has indeed improved, but the data is really getting worse and worse.

The first episode that Xu Kong participated in actually became a peak that the current program is unable to surpass.

It was indeed somewhat inconsistent with Wu Youxue's expectations.

"Director Wu, I can only promise to do my best."

Xu Kong still didn't say anything definitive.

After all, "The Long Season" is expected to complete post-production within next month.

At that time, including the early promotion, as well as Penguin's investment promotion conference and a series of activities, Xu Kong will need to cooperate according to the contract.

But Wu Youxue could also understand it.

It means that Xu Kong can spare more time to record a few episodes of the show besides his own affairs. "But if Director Wu thinks it's okay, Su Zhi can participate in two more episodes of this show later."

After Xu Kong added this, Wu Youxue also reacted quickly.

It is no secret that Xu Kong helped produce Su Zhi's new album.

If the song that Xu Kong wrote for Su Zhi could be sung for the first time on their show, it would probably be very popular.

"I'll go and communicate with Director Deng then."

After Wu Youxue finished speaking, he thought for a moment and added:
"If Su Zhi comes, we will focus the promotion of the subsequent programs around her."

This is considered returning a favor.

Mango’s promotion and marketing capabilities are still quite strong.

It is equivalent to promoting the program while also promoting Su Zhi's new album.

The latest episode of "Autumn Concert" is about to be recorded, and the guests of this episode have also arrived in Star City.

At the hotel arranged by the program team, Yang Jiangjie looked in good condition.

He did not miss the first three episodes of the show, although in the first episode, all the spotlight was snatched away by Xu Kong alone.

However, he successfully gained a lot of fans in the following two episodes.

"Sister Xia, I still want to sing a new song."

Yang Jiangjie looked at the agent who came with him and spoke.

"Jiang Jie, I know what you're thinking, but there's no need for us to argue about this."

The agent was also a little helpless at this time.

She has been persuading him all the way.

Because the popularity of Xu Kong's song "Rascal" in the first episode completely overwhelmed another Cantonese song by Yang Jiangjie.

So when he knew that Xu Kong would also participate in this show, Yang Jiangjie proposed his idea of ​​singing a new song.

In fact, as a newcomer, it’s no big deal to get close to Xu Kong, who is so popular now.

But Yang Jiangjie is different. After all, he is a newcomer who is being focused on by Jiying Media.

There is no need to go down this black and red route.

Moreover, Yang Jiangjie’s creative ability is not packaged.

What the company hopes is that he can calm down and develop steadily for a few years.

By then, it won't be difficult for their company to have another singer of the king level.

“But I just want to sing.”

"Otherwise I can't get over this."

Yang Jiangjie became stubborn and refused to give in.

"This isn't a competitive music variety show. If you insist on doing this, it will only ruin your popularity if you appear too aggressive."

"Although Xu Kong is participating in the show this time, the songs he will choose are most likely some of his old songs."

The agent, Sister Xia, persuaded the customer with both reason and emotion.

"As long as I sing a new song, he will definitely sing it!"

"I know Xu Kong cares a lot about me as his opponent."

Yang Jiangjie is very confident.

Because he believed that among the so-called four newcomers, the only one who was truly worthy of Xu Kong's attention was Yang Jiangjie.

The agent tried to persuade the other party for a while, but seeing that he couldn't persuade the other party, he could only sigh.

This newcomer is too stubborn.

"I know that even if I don't let you sing, you will still change the song on the show at the last minute."

"Then sing."

Seeing the joy on Yang Jiangjie's face, she couldn't help but remind him.

"But don't blame me for not telling you in advance. It's your own choice which path to take."

"I will explain to the company, but this concerns your future career. It's your own choice. Don't blame me when the time comes."

The agent actually saw it very clearly. Although Yang Jiangjie was a genius, there was no need for him to confront Xu Kong head-on.

If Feng Ge’s offer had not been so high, she would have hesitated for a few days.

Xu Kong should be an artist of Jiying Media.

If it were possible to exchange Yang Jiangjie for Xu Kong, she would agree without hesitation.

But obviously, there is no possibility of realizing such an idea.
