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

Chapter 233: Undercurrents within Fengge

"Brother Xu Kong, I miss you so much~"

In the hotel, Song Youyou, who looked tired but satisfied, spoke subconsciously.

"Me too……"

Xu Kong gently kissed the other person's forehead.

Although the other party has proved his words with his actions.

But compared to Su Zhi's personality of not liking to talk about these things, Youyou has always been the type who doesn't like to hide her thoughts.

"By the way, your skirt..."

Xu Kong spoke with some apology.

The set of attack speed equipment that Song Youyou wore yesterday was obviously newly bought, and it was obviously badly damaged at this time.

"It's okay. I wore it just for you to see..."

Youyou was quite satisfied with the results of this battle.

Although he suffered another crushing defeat this time, he felt that he had found Xu Kong's weakness.

It is only a matter of time before we completely defeat the other party one day in the future.

……

After all, the Golden Eagle Award is a major domestic award.

While it is very popular, colleagues in the industry also attach great importance to it.

This time, both "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Long Season" were nominated for different awards, and Xu Kong naturally became the most discussed nominee.

In addition, because the main crew members of the two crews are actually similar and are all from the current "Sweet Honey" crew, Xu Kong simply extended the subsequent vacation for a few more days. This kind of award ceremony must allow other crew members to have a certain sense of participation.

Even though Xu Kong is actually the most critical leader in the two dramas, he is both the director and screenwriter after all.

But after all, the drama was filmed by the entire crew together.

It is impossible that everyone works hard together during filming, but when it comes to receiving the award, Xu Kong is the only one enjoying the honor.

This would easily cause dissatisfaction among the other crew members who had been filming three consecutive dramas with Xu Kong.

What’s quite interesting is that Xu Guangji, the main photographer of “Legend of Sword and Fairy” and “The Long Season”, was also nominated for the Best Photography award for “The Long Season” this time.

And looking at the shortlisted competitors, the chances of winning are quite high.

At the beginning, Xu Guangji suddenly disappeared and announced his withdrawal from the crew of "Sweet Honey". After that, he never contacted Xu Kong or other people in the crew again.

It was indeed a bit awkward that we met at the Golden Eagle Awards this time, and the film that was nominated was "The Long Season".

But Xu Kong still wanted to ask the other party in person.

Before Xu Konglai Fengge, Xu Guangji actually had no presence in the company or the entire industry.

Xu Kong thought he was very kind to him. More importantly, although Xu Guangji was the cameraman for many shots, it was almost always Xu Kong who provided guidance and specific implementation suggestions.

There's no way he didn't know this.

In other words, without Xu Kong's crew, it is questionable whether Xu Guangji can still produce a hit drama with his ability.

Xu Kong still has some confidence in this regard.

But even so, Xu Guangji was transferred to other crews by the vice president Zhu Changyun.

Xu Kong’s intention towards him was already quite clear.

……

As the award ceremony approaches, the crew of "Sweet Honey" has arrived.

Including the leading actors Shang Yuxin and Guan Hua who came along.

"Director Xu, I thought you didn't want to return to the crew..."

As soon as Shang Yuxin saw Xu Kong, she spoke in a charming voice.

Xu Kong did not answer, but gave the other party a warning look.

It was only at this time that Shang Yuxin discovered that Song Youyou was also in the room.

She immediately calmed down.

However, Song Youyou was looking at her mobile phone at this time and didn't hear what Shang Yuxin said just now.

……

"Sister Yuxin, you are here too?"

Song Youyou was obviously very happy to see Shang Yuxin.

Compared with Su Zhi, Song Youyou obviously didn't have much guard against Shang Lucha.

She even always felt that Shang Yuxin was one of the few close friends she had in Fengge.

Of course, when Shang Yuxin was not alone with Xu Kong, she still behaved quite normally.

The two held hands and chatted about the past.

Xu Kong began to pay attention to the relevant news on the Internet.

After the show "Singer" was aired, it was quite popular.

But because the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony is about to begin, the Internet is almost entirely filled with discussions about this year's two-year Golden Eagle Awards.

"The Chinese Paladin is probably the best movie of the year."

"It's hard to say. I think The Long Season deserves the award more."

"The Golden Eagle Awards look at the popularity and data of the drama, not just the ratings. The chances of "Chinese Paladin" winning are still higher."

"I think no matter who wins the prize in the end, Xu Kong has won this year."

"That's right. After all, there are only a few hit dramas this year, and the two dramas with the highest popularity and the best reputation are all occupied by Xu Kong alone."

……

Although the Golden Eagle Awards occasionally have upsets, it can even be said to be a frequent occurrence.

But in the eyes of most viewers who have been paying attention to domestic dramas this year, Xu Kong’s two hit dramas really have no rivals.

What people are discussing most at the moment is how many awards Xu Kong’s two dramas will win in the end.

In addition to Xu Kong's two dramas, there are more than ten other shortlisted dramas in total.

But there is hardly any discussion about it.

Xu Kong always felt that something was wrong.

The main reason is because of such opportunities. Even if it is just a nomination, it is also a good opportunity for publicity for the production team, actors, directors, etc.

But this time there was hardly any marketing.

……

The most important thing is that on the night before the award ceremony, Xie Xiaoyu, the deputy director of two dramas and one movie, took the initiative to find Xu Kong.

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

Xu Kong asked.

"I am sure."

"Old Xu came here with President Zhu."

Xu Kong fell into silence.

Xu Kong guessed that Xu Guangji would come to attend the award ceremony. After all, it was the Golden Eagle Award. If the other party was a little thick-skinned, he would definitely come.

This is not only an honor, but also a point worth mentioning on a photographer's resume.

But what Xu Kong didn't expect was that Xu Guangji actually came with Zhu Changyun, the vice president of Fengge.

Although he is a Golden Eagle, there is no way Zhu Changyun would come to Star City specially if he has nothing to do.

Is it possible for the vice president of a big company like Fengge to have so much free time?

……

Before, Xu Kong didn’t know much about Fengge’s entire company.

Whether it is the company's senior management or the artist colleagues under it.

This was mainly because Xu Kong started with an independent studio operation model and hardly took too much of Feng Ge’s resources.

In other words, Xu Kong has already become one of the resources.

There are quite a few actors who want to join Feng Ge's crew.

But no matter what, the vice president Zhu Changyun suddenly began to appear frequently in his field of vision.

Xu Kong always felt that it was not a good thing.

Moreover, when the two met before, Xu Kong could sense that there was something else behind the other party's words. He was obviously an old fox with deep scheming.

Although I know that the other party and Song Youyou's father Song Fuquan are good friends who have worked together until now, it can be seen that there are still big differences in their personalities.

Although Song Fuquan has been able to reach his current position, he is certainly not a good man.

But he is more like an ambitious person who likes to use overt schemes, but Zhu Changyun, in temperament, is more like the kind of person who likes to engage in conspiracies and small tricks. Of course, perhaps it is because he was deliberately targeted by the other party that Xu Kong has such a stereotype.

But with two people with completely opposite personalities managing a company together, Xu Kong didn't think that Fengge's senior management would be as calm as it seems now.

……

In an upscale residential area in Xingcheng, Wu Youxue's wife saw him pick up his phone and put it down several times in a row.

His expression looked very embarrassed.

I even feel more conflicted than when I was forced to take a six-month vacation.

I couldn't help but ask:
"Is something wrong?"

Wu Youxue shook his head and said nothing.

"I'm just guessing. There's no need to tell him now."

"and……"

Although Wu Youxue has always been able to do things with a clear conscience.

But inevitably, selfish desires arise sometimes.

That's the case this time.

Fengge's vice president Zhu Changyun took the initiative to find him, but said that he did not represent Fengge.

What this means is already obvious.

Moreover, from some information Wu Youxue had obtained before and the internal movements of Fengge, he had some guesses.

But after all, there is no substantial evidence for this.

He was struggling over whether to tell Xu Kong or not.

He has personal relationships with many of Fengge's top executives, but the one he really cares about is still the young man Xu Kong, whom he has known for just over a year.

But if something really happened to Fengge.

Does that mean he has a chance to get Xu Kong to come to Mango?

Given their relationship, Wu Youxue thought it was acceptable even if it was just a cooperative relationship, let alone giving each other the top contract.

And in his opinion, Xu Kong represents the future of the domestic entertainment industry in the next ten years.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, this is Wu Youxue's most true evaluation of Xu Kong.

So if possible, Wu Youxue would certainly not be satisfied with maintaining the current relationship with Xu Kong. No matter how good the relationship is, it still needs to be bound by corresponding interests. This is the safest way.

So, after thinking about it, Wu Youxue finally decided not to tell the other party that Zhu Changyun had come to see him.

Of course, he did not agree to Zhu Changyun's proposal for cooperation, but he did not directly reject it either.

Fengge is almost the largest film and television company in the industry, and no one knows what the future will be like.

Before getting clear results, a smart person like Wu Youxue would definitely not place a bet in advance.

……

Xu Kong naturally didn't know the purpose of Zhu Changyun's visit to Xingcheng this time.

But it didn't stop him from noticing something unusual.

"Sister Hong hasn't come back yet?"

After asking Song Youyou, Xu Kong was also quite surprised.

Lin Hong has been on a business trip abroad for several months.

Although I have heard about it before, this time the issue of opening up overseas markets in Europe and the United States is quite important.

But Xu Kong didn’t think he could let Lin Hong stay abroad for such a long time, right?
"I asked Sister Hong, but judging from her tone, she should be quite normal."

"They said I'll have to stay for a few more months at least."

Seeing Xu Kong’s serious expression, Song Youyou answered honestly.

"Where's your dad's side?"

"It's the same as before. I went fishing in the suburbs for several days a few days ago..."

Xu Kong fell into deep thought.

Song Fuquan was indeed still the same as before, acting as his own hands-off boss.

He suddenly thought of the time he met Song Fuquan before.

The other party told him not to worry about it.

Xu Kong suddenly felt that Song Fuquan might know everything?

Thinking of this, Xu Kong sighed helplessly.

I have reminded you once before.

Moreover, he still knew nothing about Zhu Changyun's purpose and everything going on with Fengge's top management.

In this situation, it seems that there is really nothing that can be done.

……

"Brother Xu Kong, what's going on?"

Obviously, Song Youyou, the eldest princess of the company, knew nothing about it.

He was even more unfamiliar with Feng Ge than Xu Kong.

"nothing……"

Xu Kong shook his head.

He didn't know what would happen now, but he always felt that a storm was about to come.

I hope it's just an illusion.

But he didn't think that Zhu Changyun, as the company's vice president, would suddenly target him for no reason.

There must be something he didn't know.

……

"By the way, do you know Zhu Changyun, the vice president of our company?"

Xu Kong couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Zhu?"

"Yes, what happened to him?"

Song Youyou not only knew Zhu Changyun, but also knew him very well.

Because she grew up under his care.

Every year on Song Youyou’s birthday, Zhu Changyun would personally go to celebrate and give her gifts.

The same thing happened last year.

Obviously, at least on the surface, Zhu Changyun still has a good relationship with Song Fuquan.

Xu Kong couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed wrong.

In fact, the reason why Zhu Changyun deliberately targeted him and said those inexplicable words was because of him.

They came to warn him because they discovered his relationship with Song Youyou.

But such speculation was soon rejected by Xu Kong himself.

Because if that was really the case, it was impossible for the other party to have such an ambiguous attitude when they met him before.

……

After thinking for a long time and still unable to figure it out, Xu Kong finally gave up.

At present, it seems that all we can do is to deal with it as it comes.

Of course he didn't want to see anything happen to Feng Ge.

The main thing is that the current situation is pretty good, and Xu Kong doesn’t want to make too many changes.

But if it really happens, he is not completely defenseless now.

Xu Kong guessed several possibilities, but in the end, Zhu Changyun’s purpose was nothing more than the current Feng Ge.

Although Song Fuquan is almost a hands-off boss now, it is still different to actually have management power and have someone always pressure you.

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were Zhu Changyun, and if he really had some plans after all these years, he would have nothing else except Fengge Company.

But there is no actual evidence now, so it is impossible for Zhu Changyun to deliberately reveal any flaws.

You can't even tell what the other party is planning to do.

We can only wait and see what happens.
