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

Chapter 197 "The Long Season" is scheduled

Xu Kong had never thought that Yu Yaqing would directly give him the equity of Fengqing Entertainment.

Although there are so-called conditions.

But it was nothing more than asking him to help Feng Qing film a drama.

In fact, his own salary and profit share will not be affected too much.

In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that this 20% stake is almost given away for free.

Xu Kong subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But Yu Yaqing said:
"Don't refuse, you know what I mean"

Xu Kong could also understand what Yu Yaqing said.

In addition to Xu Kong's willingness to help, this equity agreement also includes the other party's apology for voluntarily giving up Xu Kong's contract.

Of course, in addition to this, Yu Yaqing, who has regained her fighting spirit at this time, must have other purposes.

She believed that the thing she regretted most since she founded Fengqing Entertainment was selling Xu Kong's contract to Feng Ge.

The decision has been difficult for her to come to terms with, both emotionally and commercially.

It is almost impossible to get Xu Kong back to Fengqing Entertainment now.

The only thing she could do was to try her best to tie Xu Kong and Fengqing Entertainment together.

Apart from the relationship between the two, the most reliable thing is actually the more direct shares.

Although it seems like a loss, Yu Yaqing doesn't feel that she has made a loss-making deal.

Just considering Xu Kong's future potential, she would make the same choice even if she had no personal relationship with Xu Kong.

It’s just that the shares given may not be that high.

Xu Kong finally signed the agreement.

After everything was finalized, the two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again.

However, the last time he came, it felt like the right time. When Xu Kong heard that Yu Yaqing was planning to disband Fengqing Entertainment, he didn't react for a while.

This time, I have finished my business, but of course I still want to reminisce about my life at Fengqing Entertainment.

Especially the single lounge in Yu Yaqing's office.

Although it can be seen that it has not been used for a long time after Xu Kong left, its comfort level still makes people feel very satisfied.

It has to be said that this made Xu Kong even more determined that the design of Feng Ge's office was unreasonable.

There isn't even a proper lounge.

Although sleeping on a desk or sofa provides a different experience, it is definitely not as comfortable as a real bed.

"Leaving next week?"

The blush on her face had not yet disappeared, and Yu Yaqing asked while taking off another pair of terribly torn stockings.

"Well, I'll go back after the investment promotion meeting at Penguin is over."

Xu Kong nodded.

When he came to Hangzhou this time, there was actually not much work at Penguin Video.

Instead, I spent most of my time reminiscing about the past and exchanging feelings with Mr. Yu.

Of course, although the work content is different, it is still quite energy-consuming.

“The subsequent dramas that Fengqing will invest in should wait until the drama I starred in on Penguin is finished airing.”

Yu Yaqing was not surprised and nodded.

"It depends on your time"

After leaving Fengqing Entertainment, Xu Kong went directly to the headquarters of Penguin Video.

"This investment promotion conference was not as smooth as I had imagined."

In the vice president's office, Zeng Xi couldn't help but sigh.

"But at least it's within an acceptable range."

A normal investment promotion conference will invite many media and reporters, including many advertisers, as well as the main creators of some new dramas, etc.

But in reality this part is just a formality.

In fact, by the time of the subsequent formal investment promotion meeting, the corresponding cooperation had already been finalized. However, this time, the early contact with major brands was not so smooth.

At Penguin's investment promotion conference in the fourth quarter of this year, Xu Kong's "The Long Season" was definitely the most popular and the most favored by brands.

But after the advance screening ended, "The Long Season", which was once a hot commodity, was not as popular anymore.

There is no way, the customized plot advertisement has been cancelled.

This has already made many brands feel hesitant.

After watching the first few episodes of "The Long Season", many people were discouraged from watching it.

The pace is too slow!
The texture of the drama, including the cast, art style and so on, is impeccable and can make people feel it very vividly.

But the drama's tempo is too slow, and its genre and style don't seem like a show that could become a big hit.

Brands don’t care about the reputation of a drama at all. What is truly valuable is the real data and popularity of the drama.

"If the director wasn't Xu Kong, it would be even more difficult to attract investment for this drama."

Producer Ding Decong also commented.

Xu Kong's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the summer blockbuster is definitely a super hit.

And all kinds of data are quite exaggerated.

With the success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", no matter how Xu Kong's new drama is filmed, there will still be no shortage of advertisers willing to buy it.

"In addition to the plot itself, it is mainly because the lead actor is not Xu Kong"

Zeng Xi also analyzed some other reasons.

It is different from the previous "Want to See You" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Although Xu Kong also participated in "The Long Season" as an actor, he was actually just a supporting role with not many scenes.

The main roles are still focused on the two movie emperors, Chen Shuang and Guan Hua.

Although Chen Shuang and Guan Hua are both movie kings, their fame and status may even surpass Xu Kong.

But in business, especially in the current TV drama market, Xu Kong's own commercial value is unique.

"But this time we just wanted to promote the reputation of the suspense theater, so this result is acceptable."

Zeng Xi comforted himself.

Although the investment in "The Long Season" is not low, it is certainly not likely to suffer a loss.

After all, most of the revenue was recovered from advertisers alone.

Given the quality of this drama, even if it flopped, it would still be able to recoup its costs thanks to its reputation.

It’s just a question of how much you earn.

The rate of return is definitely not as good as that of the original Xianjian.

But their Penguin Video purpose was achieved.

For most projects, it is impossible to be perfect in every aspect.

"Mr. Zeng, Teacher Xu Kong is here."

The assistant came over and said something.

Ding Decong was very tactful and said something and left first.

"Director Xu, the specific broadcast date of The Long Season has been decided."

When he met Xu Kong, Zeng Xi took the initiative to tell him the most crucial news.

Although it has not been officially announced yet, the broadcast time will naturally be finalized after the investment promotion is completed.

"On November 1st, we will coordinate with your assistant and the studio operations department on related publicity and promotion matters."

When Xu Kong heard the time, he nodded and indicated that he had no objection.

There is still about half a month left.

In fact, according to his original plan, the show should be broadcast around the beginning of next year.

But the progress of this shooting was indeed much faster than expected.
