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

Chapter 214: Lao Deng, who can’t even get gold coins, should change his career
"Director Xu, you don't have to..."

Shang Yuxin rarely put away her usual frivolous attitude and spoke seriously.

But he was soon interrupted by Xu Kong.

“It was my own decision.”

After all, he was still annoyed by these trivial matters.

Strictly speaking, although the starting point was indeed that I couldn't stand Shang Yuxin's experience.

But at most it just changed some subsequent plans, not to the extent of doing these specifically for Shang Yuxin.

"How can I thank you..."

Xu Kong waved his hand.

"The best way to thank me is to do this film well."

Xu Kong replied without changing his tone.

Instead, it made Shang Yuxin feel a little embarrassed.

Because the tone of her words just now clearly contained another layer of gratitude.

At this time, Xu Kong also reacted.

I realized that I might have been too serious and unromantic just now.

Then he coughed twice and said:

"There's no need for any other way of thanking me..."

After hearing Xu Kong's words, Shang Yuxin seemed a little disappointed and could only say "Oh~" with an aggrieved expression.

She was prepared to squat under the table until her feet were numb, just like last time.

……

The movie has basically been finalized, but Xu Kong still has one thing to do.

That is to get involved in the various rhythms of the movie "Feng Hua" on the Internet these days.

Although Shang Lucha is not an honest man, the various tactics used by Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures do make Xu Kong feel quite disgusted.

He doesn't mind stepping on the other party while filming this movie.

Of course, it can also be considered as a way to vent Shang Lucha's anger. After all, there are so many things going on on the Internet, and if it affects the other party's subsequent normal filming, the loss will be huge.

……

Although Xu Kong’s public relations team only has a few people.

But he still knows a lot about public opinion.

He wouldn't just come up and start cursing at Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures, as that would be too embarrassing.

"Because many friends are concerned about my next plans."

"I can reveal something in advance. I plan to try to make a movie for my next work. I will probably star in it myself. The tentative actors currently include @商雨欣, @管桦..."

As for Guan Hua, Xu Kong contacted her directly when he decided to shoot this movie.

Although the script had not been completed yet, the other party agreed directly.

And there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Xu Kong's Weibo post.

Because after the end of "The Long Season", many netizens have been asking what Xu Kong plans to shoot next.

And with his current traffic and popularity, there are quite a few discussions like this.

So Xu Kong posted this Weibo at this time as a simple response to netizens' concern.

But apart from that, the information contained in this Weibo post is not as simple as it seems.

Because the hottest gossip recently is nothing more than the various controversies behind the scenes of the terrible movie "Feng Hua" about the leading actress Shang Yuxin, the director Chang Dachun, and the investor Xincheng Pictures.

Especially Shang Yuxin, now almost everyone on the Internet is saying that she is not suitable for acting in movies, and is a box office poison.

Xu Kong's decision to announce the news that Shang Yuxin would play the female lead in his new movie at this time was undoubtedly a bombshell dropped directly onto the Internet.

……

As expected, the news that Xu Kong was planning to make a movie next and that the heroine would be Shang Yuxin, who had a very bad reputation recently and was a box office poison, directly became the number one hot search on Weibo in a very short time.

"Fuck, Xu Kong is planning to make a movie? And the female lead is Shang Yuxin again?"

"Xu Kong obviously did this on purpose. He was just trying to support Shang Yuxin. Recently, various marketing accounts have been saying that Shang Yuxin is not suitable for acting in movies."

"It can be seen that Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru have a very good relationship, otherwise they wouldn't risk such a big public opinion to stand up for Shang Yuxin."

"Xu Kong is planning to personally slap Chang Dachun in the face. Chang Dachun has been talking nonsense recently, saying that she is not suitable for filming and that they chose the wrong actress in the first place."

……

Naturally, netizens on the Internet participated in the relevant discussions very enthusiastically.

It is worth mentioning that after Xu Kong posted the first Weibo, it can still be said that netizens made some excessive associations, and it is very likely that he was just announcing the news of his new movie.

But the second Weibo post that came out soon after was a bit too obvious.

"Although the script is not finished, it has a rough outline. It should be a story about the 1980s and 1990s..."

If it was a misunderstanding before.

But this time, it can almost be said to be a face-to-face attack.

Because the movie "Feng Hua" was just released and was criticized by netizens.

The time background of the story is exactly the same as that of Xu Kong's new movie.

If this could still be called a coincidence, no one would believe it.

"Okay, okay, now we should know whether the movie "Feng Hua" is Shang Yuxin's fault or not!"

"It's the same subject matter, and Shang Yuxin was chosen as the female lead. I want to see if it's really the actor's fault."

"Although Xu Kong is making a movie for the first time, it's impossible for a director who can make a movie like The Fairy Sword and The Long Season to make a movie worse than Feng Hua, right?"

"I really want to know what Chang Dachun's expression is now, and whether he will still be stubborn."

"Dachun, please say something. They've called me, so at least respond."

……

Public opinion on the Internet gradually began to turn towards Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures.

Of course, these were all the rhythms set by Xu Kong.

He did all this because he definitely didn't want Chang Dachun to pretend to be dead.

Otherwise, it would be too boring.

Xincheng Pictures was relatively calm.

There was absolutely no intention of responding. After all, they knew that there was a difference between Xu Kong and Shang Yuxin.

Xu Kong's popularity and reputation have reached a terrifying level this year with the support of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Long Season".

And for Feng Ge, he can actually find several first-line actors like Shang Yuxin.

But Xu Kong's words are indeed unique to the point that there is no substitute.

The company's internal public relations team and the like also treated the two people completely differently.

Feng Ge had previously directed the conflict towards Shang Yuxin. Although he had countermeasures, it was obvious that he did not use his full strength.

Even though it has the support of big capital behind it, Xincheng Pictures is still unwilling to have too direct a conflict with a large, established film and television company like Fengge.

……

However, when Xincheng Pictures was ridiculed or scolded, netizens were targeting the entire company, and there was no specific target for their anger.

The director of "Feng Hua", Chang Dachun, is different.

He had a rather bad temper to begin with, and now that Xu Kong, whom he considered a junior in the industry, had gotten so angry at him, it was difficult for him to completely control his emotions.

So, almost within an hour after Xu Kong posted his two Weibo posts, Chang Dachun also posted a Weibo post.

"Young people should be more cautious. Don't run and fall before you even learn how to walk."

Although he didn't mention anyone by name, the condescending fatherly air was already overwhelming.

The meaning of his words is naturally based on the contempt chain in the film and television industry. It is naturally a big step for Xu Kong, a TV drama director, to make a movie.

Of course, this approach might be useful for some other TV directors who switched over to make movies, but it has no effect at all on Xu Kong.

It can be said that Xu Kong felt nothing at all.

However, Xu Kong had been waiting for Chang Dachun to show up on his own initiative, so he certainly had no intention of just letting it go at this point.

This time he directly released a picture.

The above is a list of the ten worst-rated Chinese-language films so far, collected and compiled by a film and television blogger.

Among them, "Feng Hua", which had dropped to 3.2 points in the past two days, was included.

These ten movies are definitely not the ones with the lowest ratings. After all, some shoddy online movies have very low ratings.

But it is one of those series with well-known directors or actors, which the audiences are looking forward to, but ends up being a big disappointment.

……

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Although Chang Dachun seemed to be passing the buck, he even pretended not to care later on.

But he knows better than anyone that the movie "Feng Hua" is the biggest shame of his career.

Therefore, Xu Kong's actions completely broke down Chang Dachun's defense.

He started cursing without caring about his dignity.

"I have been making movies for more than 20 years, and I have never been insulted by a junior. @Xu Kong, do you really think you can get ahead of yourself just because you have some achievements? People like you are complete scum in the industry..."

Obviously, Chang Dachun was still holding back a bit, at least he didn't swear directly.

But it's enough.

Xu Kong was very surprised by the other party's reaction. At the same time, he also felt a little emotional. These directors who make art films are really real!

His previous top competitors might have been hiding their heads and showing their tails the whole time, and only used some shady little tricks to get fans to help charge forward.

……

"Old Deng, you can't even get gold coins. If you really can't do it, you should change your career."

If it were in the past, Xu Kong might not have been so direct.

But now, he is no longer the traffic idol who relies on his personality to make a living.

Besides, since the other party had directly pointed out his name, Xu Kong naturally couldn't beat around the bush.

Moreover, the opponent was the first to leave the field, so I was forced to fight back.

Of course, netizens did not hate Xu Kong's behavior at all at this time.

Because this isn't the first time.

Most of the time before, Xu Kong naturally looked like a humble young man.

But from time to time, there are still some similar speeches.

For example, at the opening ceremony of "Want to See You", Xu Kong directly stated that the current urban romance dramas are not good enough to be filmed, so he chose to do it himself.

At that time, this incident, with the help of marketing accounts, had some impact on Xu Kong's image.

But after Xu Kong produced real works, no one mentioned these things anymore.

When it came to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", Xu Kong's words "What a crap ancient idol drama, I'm shooting a fairy tale" are still talked about by many people until now.

This is the third time. Xu Kong, who doesn't like to respond, has personally come out again, and it's another golden sentence. Not only did netizens not think there was a problem, but they were more excited than anyone else.

……

"What a great old Deng who can't drop any gold coins. I am dying of laughter."

"What Xu Kong said is really not a problem, because most of Chang Dachun's works, including this "Feng Hua", lose money."

"It's so exciting. It's really exciting to see the stars themselves competing in the arena."

"It feels like Chang Dachun's defense has been broken, but Xu Kong's words are really too hurtful. It feels like he might have a shadow on Xu Kong."

The so-called old login and the explosion of gold coins, it is obvious that for the Internet in this world, this meme is indeed too widespread.

Almost at the same time Xu Kong posted this Weibo.

The comment section of Chang Dachun’s Weibo has already been used for team building.

They are all netizens who are just watching the show.

"Director Chang, if it doesn't work, just show Xu Kong some gold coins to prove your strength."

"If it doesn't work, give me Chang Detonator, and I'll help you scold Xu Kong."

"Lao Deng, blast some gold coins!"

……

At this point, the public opinion war between the two sides has actually deviated from its original track and become increasingly abstract.

Xu Kong's last Weibo post almost completely dispelled the tense online verbal battle between the two parties.

In other words, it is almost in an invincible position.

When this matter is mentioned again in the future, people may not remember too much about the verbal battle between the two.

Even now, there are some unfavorable remarks about Xu Kong on the Internet, such as that he is disrespectful to his seniors in the circle, and probably no one would mention them.

The only thing that people can remember completely is Xu Kong’s words “Old Deng who can’t drop any gold coins”.

Chang Dachun still lost because he didn’t know enough about the Internet.

Or he simply didn't expect that, from the very beginning, Xu Kong was actually deliberately trying to make him angry and break his defense.

If Chang Dachun didn't respond directly at the beginning, Xu Kong really would have no way to deal with him.

As long as Chang Dachun left the field first, he was actually at a disadvantage.

Because Xu Kong did not mention anyone before, he was just promoting his upcoming new movie normally.

It can be said that it was Chang Dachun who started the trouble first.

……

This farce continued until the evening.

At this time, Chang Dachun’s latest Weibo post has almost become a base for netizens to team up and celebrate.

There are nearly 100,000 comments, almost all of which are filled with jokes such as "Lao Deng" and "Gold Coins".

Don’t doubt the ability of idle netizens to create memes. Xu Kong only needs to start, and the rest is basically the chance for the netizens to come up with melodramatic ideas.

The entire network was mocking her, and the mockery was even more exaggerated than the recent title of Shang Yuxin as box office poison.

In fact, Xu Kong did not expect such an effect.

Of course, he guessed that Chang Dachun would definitely respond.

Because when he went to see the preview of "Feng Hua" before, he could tell that Chang Dachun was the kind of person who could get angry at any time.

Therefore, it is extremely easy to make the other party take the initiative to withdraw.

……

It was not until around midnight that Chang Dachun finally gave in and completely deleted several of his previous Weibo posts.

The comment section was also closed directly.

Judging from Xu Kong’s previous experience, the ridicule from netizens online is one aspect.

More importantly, it seems that someone is interfering behind the scenes.

When Chang Dachun took the initiative to step down, it was probably out of impulse.

It's normal for someone to come out and stop it from behind.

It seems that there won’t be any follow-up.

There is a high probability that Chang Dachun will just suffer this loss in silence.

But apart from this, Xu Kong also had a not-so-small grudge with the so-called big capital behind Xincheng Pictures.

……

Xu Kong was also straightforward. Apart from the two Weibo posts promoting his new movie, he also deleted the picture at the back and the dynamic about Lao Deng who could not reveal the gold coins.

However, even though it has been deleted, this joke probably won’t get over.

When I woke up the next morning, the term #老登不开金币# was still ranked first on Weibo's hot search list.

"It would be a shame if you didn't start a PR company..."

At Fengge headquarters, Yan Rui couldn't help but speak when he saw Xu Kong for the first time.

He watched the entire online confrontation between Xu Kong and Chang Dachun yesterday.

Unlike ordinary netizens, Yan Rui saw more details.

It can be said that this time the public opinion was completely instigated by Xu Kong.

And Chang Dachun almost jumped into Xu Kong's trap step by step.

In the end, he almost escaped with nothing.

Such a war of public opinion is really rare.

And it was almost all done by Xu Kong alone.

……

“Maybe I’ll consider it when I retire.”

Xu Kong didn't think there was anything wrong and replied calmly.

"After this incident, I guess some of your peers in the industry won't dare to offend you anymore."

Yan Rui sighed.

Xu Kong's manipulation of public opinion, coupled with his current popularity and fame, is indeed a bit scary.

As expected, he debuted as a traffic idol.

Yan Rui subconsciously thought that Xu Kong learned all these methods from Fengqing Entertainment.

After all, although Fengqing Entertainment is not large in scale, it is quite famous in the circle for its various unconventional marketing methods.

"The trending search is gone. Is it because Fan He, the company behind Xincheng Pictures, took action?"

Xu Kong asked.

It probably took him less than an hour to get from home to the company, and there was almost no mention of him and Chang Dachun on the trending searches on Weibo.

"It seems you know a lot."

Yan Rui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xu Kong actually knew that Fanhe, a large investment company, was behind Xincheng Pictures.

"It's highly likely that Chang Dachun and Xin Cheng are just hooking up with Fan He, otherwise..."

Although it was not said directly.

But Yan Rui's tone was quite disdainful.

To Feng Ge, Chang Dachun and Xincheng Pictures are really nothing.

If it weren't for Fan He behind the scenes, the people in front probably wouldn't have dared to direct public opinion towards Shang Yuxin.

"Don't worry about it. There won't be any follow-up to this matter..."

Yan Rui subconsciously comforted him.

But then he remembered that in this whole incident, Xu Kong didn't seem to suffer any loss at all.
