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

Chapter 21 "Singer" Live

It was only after Xu Kong returned from the capital that Guo Zihao understood what the other party meant when he said that both the script and the director had been resolved.

"Are you really planning on writing, directing and acting in the show yourself?"

"Brother, can you please not make it so big?"

No wonder his agent reacted so strongly.

The key point is that this matter really sounds unreliable.

Xu Kong is a newcomer, and not only is his first drama a low-budget one, they also have to organize the entire project themselves.

This is already the beginning of hell.

Xu Kong also plans to write the script himself and be the director himself. This is simply outrageous. His mother is the one who opens the door to outrageousness. It is outrageous to the extreme.

"Calm down and stop yelling."

Xu Kong looked at Guo Zihao, who was making a fuss, speechlessly.

From the current perspective, the whole process is much simpler than Xu Kong originally thought.

Basically, most of the preliminary preparations have been completed. With the addition of Song Youyou, the subsequent shooting should be able to start normally.

Xu Kong has never been a director, so he can't say he has much experience.

But this does not prevent him from copying homework, and this has always been the source of Xu Kong's confidence.

Even if he could recreate the entire drama from his mind one-to-one, Xu Kong didn't think that "Want to See You" would fail without any splash.

The small investment budget becomes an advantage at this time.

Because the difficulty of finally getting your money back is also reduced a lot.

"I"

Guo Zihao stuttered for a long time and found that he could not win the argument with Xu Kong.

He wasn't sure whether the other party's confidence throughout the whole process was just an act.

"By the way, is the first episode of Mango TV's 'Singer' going to be broadcast today?"

Xu Kong suddenly remembered something and asked.

At this time, Guo Zihao was still immersed in the worry of knowing that Xu Kong planned to direct and act in the show himself, and just nodded lightly.

"The show 'Singer' is quite popular these days. Although this is almost the fourth or fifth season, it is the first time that the whole show is broadcast live, which is quite bold."

"You have to know that if it's a live broadcast, without the later sound editing and re-recording, the singer is very likely to fail."

“The variety shows on Mango TV are really good at creating topics and hot topics.”

Xu Kong stood up from the sofa and turned on the TV, which he rarely watched on weekdays.

"Why are you suddenly interested in this show?"

Guo Zihao was a little surprised.

Xu Kong himself is indeed very popular, especially after the song "Best Friend" became popular some time ago, it can almost be said that he has firmly squeezed into the list of top stars in the domestic entertainment industry.

However, a highly professional music competition variety show like "Singer" has nothing to do with Xu Kong at all.

He wants to be on "Singer", but not only is it unlikely that Mango TV will agree, Fengqing Entertainment will not agree either.

Because if he went on stage, with Xu Kong's singing skills and ability, it would most likely just be embarrassing.

"Su Zhi is one of the singers participating in the competition."

"Didn't the company ask me to write a song for her before? It seems like she plans to sing my song on the show."

Xu Kong answered nonchalantly.

Guo Zihao took a while to react, then looked in Xu Kong's direction with a look of shock.

"What?!!"

"Will Su Zhi sing the song you wrote on the show this time?"

Xu Kong subconsciously covered his ears.

"Can you please stop being so startled all day long?"

Guo Zihao still had a serious expression: "Is the news accurate?"

"Su Zhi told me before, I don't know if she plans to sing my song in the first episode." Guo Zihao couldn't understand why Xu Kong was so calm.

"Do you know what it would mean if Su Zhi really sang your song?"

"Do you know how popular The Singer is this year?"

Xu Kong was holding the fried chicken that had just been delivered. After taking a bite, he shook his head.

He has spent all this time on the early preparations for the drama "Meet You". Even when he has free time, he is reading some books related to directors. He has not really paid attention to the hot searches on Weibo and various public opinions on the Internet.

"Watch your figure and eat less."

Guo Zihao reached out and snatched the fried chicken from Xu Kong's hand, then said seriously:

"If Su Zhi really sang your song on Singer, it would definitely be a huge traffic!"

"Of course, the premise is that you don't get last place."

"Otherwise, Su Zhi's fans will probably blame you for the bad song."

Xu Kong took another piece of fried chicken from the family bucket in front of him.

"I run and exercise every day, so what's wrong with eating some high-quality carbohydrates?"

"Go on, so what?"

Guo Zihao rolled his eyes.

"Brother, can you please pay a little more attention? As long as we do a better job of marketing, we can get a huge amount of traffic from this "Singer" program."

Xu Kong understood very well what Guo Zihao said.

For a popular idol with few works, such popularity is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With so many years of experience as a top star, Xu Kong certainly knows very well how this process should be carried out in order to maximize benefits.

But since the project of the drama "Want to See You" was launched, he has also figured out that as a top star in this life, there is no need for him to follow the old path.

In this case, such traffic is not that important.

So from the very beginning, he had no intention of making his presence felt too much and riding on the popularity of the "Singer" program. He was just going to let things take their course.

"You told the company that there's no need to buy trending searches or market me."

"I have a plan for this."

Guo Zihao was just about to speak when the "Singer" program had already started broadcasting.

The host on the stage is Bai Ziyang.

He has so many years of experience as a host, and although his fame is partly due to marketing, his basic ability to control the situation is still quite strong.

Even though it is a live broadcast, everything seems to be in good order.

From the opening of the show, to the brand sponsorship advertisements, and the detailed introduction of all the contestants on the show, etc.

If it weren't for the word "live broadcast" in the upper right corner, I would really have the illusion that the program was a recorded broadcast.

"Su Zhi shouldn't be at the bottom, but it's too difficult to get first place."

"Guan Ting, Tao Zidan, and other veterans in the music industry have great stage experience and singing skills."

"Fuck, why did they invite William and Elvy, two talented singers from abroad?"

Guo Zihao was muttering to himself while watching the show and exclaiming from time to time, obviously quite immersed in the show.

Xu Kong was also familiar with the seven singers on the show, including Su Zhi.

Guan Yan is a national first-class singer and a member of the national team. There is no doubt about her strength. Taking part in the show feels like a dimensionality reduction attack.

A singing king like Tao Zidan has won various domestic awards for best male singer more than once. Although he has always been singing pop songs, no one doubts his singing skills and voice.

As for the other two foreign singers, Xu Kong only knew their names and had heard a few of their representative works, but he could not find more detailed information from the original owner's memory.

But European and American singers who are well-known in the country are probably not idiots.

The other three, besides Su Zhi, are Yuanhong Band and a new generation singer named She Huai. Xu Kong doesn't know much about him, but from Bai Ziyang's introduction just now, Yuanhong Band should be a rock band, and Yu Huai is good at R&B style rhythm and blues.

To be fair, this lineup is already quite powerful.

Su Zhi, the youngest singing queen in the history of Chinese music, may not have many advantages.
