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

Chapter 279 Drying Wheat Under the Moon——Owe...

Song Fuquan really thinks highly of Xu Kong.

Even when Lin Hong seemed to have gone against the crowd and bought Xu Kong from Fengqing Entertainment at such a high price, it was also at the instruction of Song Fuquan.

However, he was just optimistic at that time. But after Xu Kong came to Fengge, without the restrictions of the company, the dramas he filmed, the songs he wrote, etc., really made Song Fuquan regard him from a potential newcomer to the greatest hope of Fengge to start over.

Of course, the relationship between Xu Kong and Song Youyou is definitely a factor in this.

But in fact, the proportion is not too large. If Xu Kong had no contact with his daughter, considering the potential she has shown in the past two years.

He will still take out this equity transfer agreement.

However, there may be more restrictions in terms of price and conditions.

After all, Song Fuquan had actually been dissatisfied with Fengge's current huge organizational structure and the number of artists under it for a long time.

Those who were relying on his merits were in an awkward situation where he still had to provide a lot of good resources to them just because they were elderly.

Zhu Changyun's sudden attack was indeed a very good opportunity.

Although taking away a group of artists with the greatest commercial value under Fengge can be said to be a painful process.

But it further aroused Song Fuquan's competitive spirit which had disappeared for many years.

With the presence of Xu Kong, Song Fuquan's confidence is indeed greater.

……

When Xu Kong came out of the Song family, he did feel as if he was in another world.

He has indeed lived two lives and has experienced all kinds of scenes and things, big and small, in the entertainment industry.

But he still didn't expect that within just a few hours, he would become the second-in-command of one of the leading film and television companies in the entertainment industry.

And judging from Song Fuquan's plan, it seems that he will not just be allowed to be a shareholder.

Instead, he planned to completely delegate power to him.

Strictly speaking, this nearly 40 shares is intended to tie Xu Kong and Feng Ge together.

Avoid situations where Xu Kong does not do his best.

After all, although Feng Ge is not in a life-and-death situation yet, the situation and condition are indeed not very good.

……

Judging from the information Xu Kong received.

Zhu Changyun's sudden backstabbing this time did have a huge impact on Feng Ge.

The most obvious and important issue is business.

Many collaborations that had already been negotiated, or even just needed to sign a contract, have now completely fallen through due to the departure of the original artists.

Some partners who had been working closely together were also taken away directly by Zhu Changyun.

The most obvious thing in the short term is the decline in income.

Another very important factor is the departure of internal administrative personnel of the company.

For example, there was a large number of resignations in the Artist Department and the Film and Television Department. Some of them left with Zhu Changyun, while others took the initiative to look for new jobs because they felt that the situation of Fengge was not good.

These are very realistic problems that need to be solved urgently.

However, Song Fuquan was not completely unprepared.

Especially regarding the film and television department on which Fengge relies for its survival, although Zhu Changyun brought with him many experienced and well-known directors, screenwriters, as well as crew and post-production staff.

But Song Fuquan had also privately trained some new people before.

It is nominally affiliated with another company, but has participated in many Fengge projects.

So although many people have left Fengge, in terms of the film and television industry chain, it still maintains at least 70 to 80 percent of the original level.

In Xu Kong's opinion, this is probably the best news he has heard in recent times.

……

"what?"

Zhu Yu has been greatly affected recently due to the internal turmoil in Fengge and various rumors.

It’s not that she is reluctant to give up her current job and salary.

After all, Zhu Yu has a certain degree of confidence in her abilities, so even if it's Feng Ge, she won't have to worry about not finding a job.

The reason she was worried was simply because of Xu Kong.

After all, Fengge today is no longer one of the largest film and television companies in the country as it was a week ago.

Many artists who were not taken away by Zhu Changyun also began to plan their retreat for better development.

For Zhu Yu, her relationship with Xu Kong is indeed more than just agent and artist on the surface.

So she also thought that if Xu Kong planned to leave Fengge, there would naturally be many companies vying for him. A company like Huayuan Film and Television, which was of the same size as Fengge, would also be a very good place to go.

The conditions offered by the other party probably wouldn't be too bad.

In addition, she also considered that if Xu Kong left and worked alone, the process might be a little troublesome and difficult, but it would not be impossible.

From this perspective, everyone now believes that Feng Ge, who is destined to decline, is the worst decision.

For Xu Kong, whose career is on the rise, staying in Fengge will only delay his career.

……

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the company's board of directors will announce the decision in the next week or so."

Almost all the shareholders of the board of directors were pulled away by Zhu Changyun. At this time, Feng Ge had become the one who had the final say over Song Fuquan, a lonely man.

Zhu Yu had made a lot of preparations and also helped Xu Kong with a lot of backup plans.

Zhu Yu even had some private contact with Huayuan Film and Television.

Who knew that at this time Xu Kong suddenly told her that he would not leave, and became the second largest shareholder of Fengge besides Song Fuquan?
No matter how you listen to this, it seems outrageous.

"Song Fuquan transferred such a large number of shares to you at such a low price?"

Zhu Yu found it a little unbelievable.

I even began to suspect that there was some fraud going on.

The main thing is that even if Feng Ge really reached his current situation, he still has more than thirty to nearly forty shares. It can be said that except for those in Song Fuquan's hands, most of the rest are in Xu Kong's hands.

……

"Well, Mr. Song is indeed a very courageous person."

Xu Kong knew Zhu Yu’s doubts, but he answered with a smile.

What is certain is that Song Fuquan certainly would not want to cheat him.

Because there is no need, and Fengge Film and Television is the other party's life's work, it is unlikely that they would do such a thing for a billion yuan or so.

But Xu Kong also had to admit that Song Fuquan, as a big boss in the industry, was indeed quite courageous.

They actually chose a young man like him, who was only in his early twenties, as the key to their comeback.

Maybe it has something to do with Song Youyou, but it is not something that ordinary people can make up their mind so decisively.

But it must be said that Song Fuquan's move was indeed the right one.

If it were someone else, even if Song Fuquan strongly supported him, he would have many means and plans of his own.

But it will still take a considerable amount of time for Feng Ge to recover from his current situation to his former peak.

It could be as short as three to five years, or as long as ten years at least.

After all, Fengge has gone through more than 20 years of development since its establishment.

But in Xu Kong's hands, everything became simple. The company's foundation was still there, especially the completeness of the film and television industry chain, which was enough for Xu Kong to let go and give full play.

There aren't many other reasons. It's just that my buddy is cheating. He's playing tricks on you and engaging in all kinds of fancy business wars.

Just push forward all the way.

……

"Director Xu, are you that busy?"

"I've been here several times recently, but I haven't seen you..."

Looking at Shang Yuxin's sad little eyes, Xu Kong instantly understood what she was thinking.

It's nothing more than drying wheat under the moon - it's due to lack of sun...

However, Xu Kong did not expect that the equity agreement would be signed very easily, except that the workload was surprisingly large.

Originally, with the official release of "Sweet Honey", he should have been able to take a short break after the domestic roadshows.

As a result, Feng Ge's sudden change forced Xu Kong to get busy again.

His identity as a shareholder had been announced long ago, but he was only given the position of vice president.

However, there is almost no actual business under his charge.

But if you insist, Feng Ge now has the highest say in all the departments. In this regard, with Song Fuquan's decentralization, Xu Kong can basically do whatever he wants.

Of course, business issues are not within the scope of Xu Kong's consideration, and he himself does not understand them.

Naturally, professional matters should be left to professionals.

But in terms of content and development, especially in film and television, Xu Kong does have many considerations of his own.

……

Feel the sudden soft touch.

Xu Kong looked down and saw that Shang Lucha had approached him at some point and had easily gained control of him.

During this period, Xu Kong really had no time to relieve his stress.

Therefore, Shang Yuxin's method, which was originally of low level, seemed to be effective at this time.

Just when the other party was about to comfort him, Xu Kong stopped him in time.

"I have an important meeting later..."

Xu Kong spoke somewhat awkwardly.

It wasn't intentional, but the meeting of the film and television department was quite important and Xu Kong didn't want to be late.

"Oh……"

Shang Yuxin stood up again with some frustration and sat back down.

"Wait a little longer, if it doesn't work..."

Xu Kong hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and rummaged through the cabinet at the bottom of his desk.

Then handed it to the other party.

Shang Yuxin was a little confused at first, but when she saw the delicate and small purple color on the packaging, she immediately understood everything and her face turned red.

This was an extra one he bought when he gave Zhu Yu a small gift before.

At that time, I thought that I might change it in the future, and I never know when it might be useful in the future.

……

However, it is obvious that Shang Lucha seems to be very experienced in all aspects.

But in fact, he is not only a complete newcomer, but also a relatively traditional conservative.

At most, some of them seem to be self-reliant, and they cannot accept material possessions.

But when she saw Xu Kong's face which actually had a hint of sincerity, she blushed and for a moment she didn't know whether she should accept it.

"Take it. I might be able to use it in the future."

Although Xu Kong did not explain it very clearly, it was obvious that how to use it, who to use it on, and where to use it were all self-evident.

Without giving her any reaction, he just stuffed it directly into Shang Yuxin's hand.

"Then I'll go over first..."

"You can try it first. Um, remember to lock my office door."

Xu Kong is now the vice president, so Feng Ge naturally arranged a new office for him.

But he found moving too troublesome, he was used to the artist department, and his studio team was large, so he did not move.

Shang Yuxin didn't react until Xu Kong left.

"Bah bah bah!"

"What the hell."

Shang Yuxin just felt her face burning.

She actually listened to Xu Kong's suggestion just now.

But he immediately realized that it seemed to be all because of Xu Kong. Every time he came to his office, he didn't talk about serious business.

This caused Shang Yuxin to get used to all of this.

It was not until now that she realized that all this was beyond the range that she should have been able to accept.

……

"Is everyone here?"

Xu Kong glanced at Yan Rui and couldn't help but ask.

Yan Rui came back to his senses when he heard Xu Kong's voice.

The main reason was that he didn't expect so many things to happen in just less than half a month.

President Zhu actually ran away with most of the company's veterans, as well as a bunch of artistes and directors under him.

The most important thing is that it is said that those people Zhu Changyun took away were all those he recognized as having outstanding talents.

In other words, I have been so hardworking and responsible all along, but in the eyes of the other party, my performance is only mediocre?
This is undoubtedly a huge blow.

In addition, the changes in Fengge’s internal structure were really too fast.

How did Director Xu suddenly become the vice president and the second largest shareholder of the company?
……

Yan Rui glanced at the people sitting in the conference room.

There are a lot of new faces, but at the same time, some of the old seniors from the film and television department are almost nowhere to be seen.

For a while he was still a little uncomfortable.

But he nodded.

"They should all be here..."

Xu Kong had never met the management of Fengge Film and Television Department in such a complete manner before, but what is certain is that for an old company like Fengge, the average age of the middle and senior management should be quite high.

But at this time, there are many young faces in their twenties and thirties.

It's almost like completely replacing a batch of fresh blood.

In Yan Rui's opinion, this is definitely not good news, because as a newcomer, it is inevitable that he will give people a feeling of being unreliable.

But in Xu Kong's opinion, this saved him a lot of trouble.

At the very least, you don't have to waste time dealing with various trivial matters, nor do you have to worry about someone being dissatisfied and secretly disobeying you.

……

"Director Xu, no, President Xu, where should we start?"

"We currently have six projects left that are in the process of filming or post-production, but they are all of relatively small investment."

"The originally planned large projects have been temporarily put on hold due to...force majeure."

Yan Rui started to introduce himself.

Of course, he did not directly mention the impact of Zhu Changyun's departure, but simply omitted it by using force majeure.

The main reason is that Fengge has just been reorganized, so it is no exaggeration to say that people are in a panic.

He saw no need to bring up what was already past.

"Ongoing projects should follow the original plan. Projects that have not yet been officially launched should be shelved. Pull out the director and other creative teams, if they are still there..."

Xu Kong had also read the relevant information and had a certain understanding of Feng Ge's current situation.

At this time, he was talking about his arrangements in an orderly manner.

"But if the project suddenly stops, I'm worried about the director and producer..."

Yan Rui couldn't help but remind him.

Fengge has several big-budget movies and TV series, all of which were directed by several veteran and well-known directors of the company. The budgets have been reviewed and approved, but now they are suddenly stopped.

It's such a tense time again, and Feng Ge's condition can no longer withstand the departure of these veteran directors.

"I have my own plan..."

Xu Kong called out to him.

Then he ignored Yan Rui's opinion and suddenly asked:
"What's going on with Zhu Changyun? I mean his new company."

Yan Rui was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Xu means..."

Xu Kong answered:
"They just established a new company, and they probably have all the staff in place. It's impossible that they won't be filming a movie or a new drama, right?"

Xu Kong's words surprised the middle and senior management of the entire film and television department, including Yan Rui.

It seems that Feng Ge is just beginning to try to start over, and it is not certain whether he can solve the current problem of not making enough money.

Have you actually started planning to have a head-on battle with Zhu Changyun?
