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

Chapter 196: Fengqing Entertainment Resurrected

Although Huayi is still headed by the same person as before, there have indeed been a lot of changes compared to the past.

This woman in her forties did not tease Xu Kong intentionally or unintentionally this time. Instead, she called him "Teacher Xu Kong" all the time and showed special respect.

Guo Zihao also stood up.

When I first discussed cooperation with Huayi, I was very humble.

Most of the conditions proposed by the other party can be agreed to almost without any problems throughout the process.

Now, Guo Zihao has taken the initiative.

What people said most often was “We need to think about it again.”

"It seems that I was a little too nervous at the beginning."

“I always feel that the people of Huayi are very oppressive.”

"It turns out that it's just like that now."

After finishing the discussion with Huayi, Guo Zihao couldn't help but speak in the car as he left.

At that time, Huayi was too strong and there was almost no room for negotiation.

This made Guo Zihao doubt his business ability for a time.

Most of the negotiation skills I learned before are completely useless.

But during this meeting, it was Guo Zihao who took control of the pace of the negotiations throughout the entire process.

He naturally felt relieved and happy.

"Don't be so funny. Please help me to decline their offer in a few days."

Xu Kong spoke.

Guo Zihao was stunned for a moment.

"We're not renewing the contract?"

He felt that his performance just now was quite good.

Originally, Huayi renewed his contract for five years, but he reduced it to three years.

In terms of endorsement fees, compared to the previous low price of 1.8 million, this time it was negotiated to nearly million.

Although the contract is for three years, the average annual salary of 60 million is definitely one of the highest endorsement fees in the industry.

“Huayi is not in line with my current position”

Xu Kong said helplessly.

He is definitely no longer a traffic idol who needs high-end luxury brands to increase his value.

Especially as a professional actor, when he plays some roles in the future, such an endorsement of a luxury brand will easily make the audience feel out of place.

Moreover, if we only talk about endorsement fees, the price offered by Huayi is also easy to get from some other brands.

In this comparison, there is absolutely no need for this.

On the contrary, choosing some more people-friendly brands would be more beneficial to Xu Kong's current image.

"All right."

Guo Zihao was also somewhat helpless.

He had just been talking for a long time, and he always felt that he hoped to get better conditions.

Now it seems that it was a waste of time.

Although the company is preparing to dissolve, Yu Yaqing has not yet started to implement it.

Xu Kong could feel that the other party was obviously unable to let go.

After all, it was the result of many years of hard work, and Yu Yaqing was obviously accustomed to this busy pace of life.

"Boss Yu, why don't you reconsider this?"

Looking at Yu Yaqing who had returned home and was still busy in front of the computer, Xu Kong couldn't help but say something.

"what?"

It took Yu Yaqing a while to react.

Xu Kong shook his head helplessly.

"nothing."

Yu Yaqing came over and kissed Xu Kong, then said:

"Be good, wait till I'm done, I'll give it to you later."

"We are all planning to retire, so let's take a break."

Xu Kong simply turned off Yu Yaqing's laptop.

"etc."

Although Yu Yaqing said two words, Xu Kong obviously didn't intend to pay attention.

After feeling the scorching temperature, Yu Yaqing gave up struggling and looked at Xu Kong helplessly, as if to say, "I really can't do anything about you!"
Then she knelt beside the sofa and skillfully reached out to tie her long hair behind her head.

Xu Kong couldn't help but close his eyes and leaned back on the sofa in relaxation.

"Hand me the computer."

After dealing with Xu Kong, Yu Yaqing sat back in her original seat and spoke.

Xu Kong didn't refuse either.

Just looking at Yu Yaqing who was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, he immediately picked up her feet wearing black stockings.

I have to say, judging from his footwork alone, Mr. Yu is definitely very talented.

After feeling Xu Kong's movements, Yu Yaqing's eyes were still staring at the computer screen looking at the information, but her feet had already started moving.

Not only can she do two things at once, Yu Yaqing can even use the feel of her feet to judge Xu Kong's condition and control the appropriate rhythm at the same time.

I don’t know how long it has been

Just when Xu Kong gradually felt that he had reached the edge of his limit.

Yu Yaqing's foot, which was wearing black stockings, suddenly stepped down hard, locking it directly.

Then, in Xu Kong's somewhat confused eyes, the other party finally put down the notebook in his hand.

"It's finally done!"

She said casually.

Then he stood up directly on the sofa.

She kicked Xu Xiaokong twice with a bit of anger and said, "How come you are still so energetic?"

Then he "sat" down.

"Mr. Yu, why don't you consider retiring in the future?"

Lying on the sofa, Yu Yaqing, who was still in a daze, finally heard Xu Kong's words clearly this time.

She froze for a moment.

"why?"

Xu Kong thought for a while, and then continued:
"If you are interested in developing Fengqing Entertainment into the film and television industry, you don't actually have to think about training your own team right from the start."

"There's nothing wrong with being an investor first, and then we can just hire people from outside for the rest of the positions."

The reason why Fengqing Entertainment’s two big investment dramas suffered consecutive losses.

In fact, there are big problems in all aspects of the script.

But Xu Kong thought that the most crucial thing was that Yu Yaqing was too eager for success.

Signed a lot of directors, screenwriters and other people.

As a result, Fengqing Entertainment's investment budget in this area has reached a very high level, and the risk is completely concentrated on itself.

In addition, they don't have much experience, and the scripts written by the contracted screenwriters are unreliable.

The final result was actually expected a long time ago.

Obviously, Yu Yaqing can now understand what Xu Kong said.

But the situation was far more complicated than Xu Kong had imagined.

"I have tried to invite people from outside, but there are too few suitable candidates."

Perhaps the director, screenwriter, actors, etc. who were signed last time were taken for granted.

After that, she became a little cautious.

The film and television industry is filled with a large number of people who do not live up to their reputation.

Even for some well-known directors, there is still a great risk of failure.

And after the failed investments in the previous two dramas, Fengqing Entertainment has almost become a joke in the film and television industry. Just seeking cooperation is a problem, not to mention whether other platforms are willing to purchase the copyrights for subsequent dramas.

"As for the selection, what do you think of me?"

After Yu Yaqing finished speaking, she didn't expect Xu Kong to suddenly add something.

It’s true. It may not be the case for others, but with Xu Kong’s current fame and ability, there are many investors willing to invest.

Why couldn't it be the turn of Fengqing Entertainment, which was not too big or too small? Yu Yaqing's expression was a little complicated at this time.

The main reason was that she herself had never thought that Xu Kong would be willing to help her in this way.

"but."

Xu Kong sighed helplessly.

"Mr. Yu, if you are unwilling to leave like this, I think there is no need to hesitate."

He could clearly see that although Yu Yaqing said that she had let it go and was ready to retire.

But in fact, given the other party's personality and the energy and emotions he has invested in Fengqing Entertainment over the years, he will definitely be reluctant to let go.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to be preparing to disband and still spend so much time on company matters every day.

It's nothing more than feeling unwilling, but having no better solution.

However, if he is willing to help, it seems that Fengqing Entertainment, which was almost blocked before, will have a new opportunity.

"Of course, the fee I ask for is very high."

"We are talking business here."

Xu Kong added another sentence very seriously.

But Yu Yaqing could tell that Xu Kong's words were just to reduce her psychological burden.

After all, given Xu Kong's current popularity and the performance of his two previous hit dramas, no matter how high the price is, there will be investors willing to buy it.

On the contrary, the fact that they were willing to choose Fengqing Entertainment was already a great favor.

"Thanks."

It was rare that Yu Yaqing took the initiative to say a few words of thanks.

"Mr. Yu, you are being a little too polite, and I have already accepted the thank you gift."

Xu Kong pinched it gently and said with a smile.

"Then wait for me."

Yu Yaqing suddenly remembered something, then quickly got out of Xu Kong's arms and ran towards her bedroom barefoot.

Just when Xu Kong was confused, Yu Yaqing appeared again wearing a black bodysuit with a very eye-catching design.

"Sigh~"

Xu Kong admired it carefully for a while and couldn't help but take a breath.

This designer is simply too talented.

Not to mention the little clever ideas like suspenders, hollowing out, and lace.

More importantly, the hazy feeling that is neither revealed nor not revealed, mysterious and attractive, is done quite well.

During the few days that Xu Kong was here, the biggest item consumed at Yu Yaqing's house was probably all kinds of stockings.

But this time the style was indeed something he had never seen before.

“Isn’t this more sincere?”

Yu Yaqing supported herself on the sofa, looked down at Xu Kong below, and asked with a seductive look.

As for Xu Kong at this time, the fire had already been completely ignited.

Yu Yaqing has been hiding such a good thing, and she must be taught a lesson.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Fengqing Entertainment, Song Peiyu found that Xu Kong was looking at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

I always feel like the other party is up to some trick.

"nothing."

Xu Kong shook his head lightly.

Then he stood up, walked to Song Peiyu and patted him on the shoulder.

“You should thank me.”

Song Peiyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"why?"

He asked subconsciously.

However, Xu Kong did not answer, but turned around and left.

He couldn't help but complain: "You are sick!"

Xu Kong was free today, so he came to Fengqing Entertainment again.

What he just said was not just a casual remark.

Song Peiyu probably didn't know himself, if it weren't for Xu Kong, he would probably be unemployed now.

After Fengqing Entertainment's last massive expansion and preparation to enter the film and television industry, it has not yet fully recovered.

Fortunately, some of the original businesses did not disappear completely and have passed the crisis period.

However, a large number of employees in various film and television fields that were recruited at the beginning, including contracted directors, screenwriters, actors, etc., were almost all laid off.

This aspect is understandable.

After all, after that incident, it would definitely be impossible to continue investing in new dramas, film and television projects in a short period of time.

Then the remaining people became an unnecessary burden to the company.

It’s a good thing to give it up early.

Moreover, the business capabilities of those people are relatively average, and Yu Yaqing herself must be dissatisfied with that.

However, this has also resulted in Fengqing Entertainment almost returning to its starting point.

Moreover, this second time, it will be much more difficult to develop in the film and television industry again.

If we really want to invest in a new drama again, almost everything will have to be done by recruiting people from outside.

Then almost everything is completely out of your control.

The risks have increased significantly.

And it is difficult to build up your own team.

"You came?"

After seeing Xu Kong, Yu Yaqing took the initiative to speak.

"I have something to discuss with you."

At this moment, Yu Yaqing had obviously changed from a few days ago.

That Buddhist state of mind has decreased a lot, as if he has turned back into the career-focused Mr. Yu that Xu Kong is familiar with.

"It just so happens that I have something to say."

Xu Kong spoke.

Then he took the initiative to bring it up.

"I took a look and found that Fengqing Entertainment currently has too few talent reserves in the film and television field."

"We still need to recruit some of our own people."

"But don't worry about the new drama. I will communicate with Fengge and use their people to shoot it. Fengqing just needs to pay the money."

"The new people Feng Qing recruits can come to my crew for internship."

Since he had decided to help, Xu Kong might as well give it his all.

These are definitely not difficult for him now.

Moreover, given Fengge's status and size, it would certainly not care too much about such business cooperation.

After all, in the suspense theater that Feng Ge had previously collaborated with Penguin Video on, he also used a mercenary-like approach.

For him personally, he actually received a fixed share of the profits from the dramas invested by Fengge or Fengqing, so he did not suffer any big loss.

At most it's just a little troublesome.

"Just do as you think."

Yu Yaqing listened carefully to Xu Kong's suggestion and nodded when she thought it was okay.

"I'm done."

Xu Kong thought about it and found nothing missing, then looked at Yu Yaqing.

"This is a Fengqing equity transfer agreement."

Under Xu Kong's somewhat surprised gaze, Yu Yaqing pushed the document in her hand towards him.

"Don't rush to refuse. There are other relevant contract terms."

"I hope that you can help Feng Qing shoot three dramas that we invest in within the next five years."

"As for the subject matter of the play, the scale of investment, the specific actors and so on, it is up to you as the director to decide."
