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

Chapter 286 Xu Kong's own new drama

As it turned out, Xu Kong's previous idea was wrong.

As an artist, Su Zhi still pays great attention to her body management.

I have to say that because the battlefield was in the bathroom, it did save a lot of trouble.

"By the way, my parents may come to Beijing next month..."

Su Zhi suddenly remembered something and mentioned it.

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment. He went to Su Zhi's hometown during the Chinese New Year.

During this period, Su's mother added Xu Kong's contact information.

I sent him several messages afterwards.

Obviously, Xu Kong's role at that time was Su Zhi's pursuer.

But the two elders were not stupid, and they were able to go home after getting Su Zhi's nod.

Even if he and my daughter haven't developed to that stage yet, he is definitely different from some other boys.

……

"I guess by then I'll have joined the crew to film..."

"But I should be able to find time to come back."

Xu Kong calculated that he should also be starting his next new drama.

Moreover, in order to schedule the filming to coincide with the new drama that Changyun Film and Television will air in September, the intensity and efficiency of the shooting will have to be very high.

"They didn't say they wanted to see you."

"but……"

Su Zhi actually knew very well that although her parents did not say it explicitly, they already regarded Xu Kong as their future son-in-law.

This trip to Beijing, in addition to seeing her, is probably also related to Xu Kong.

"Don't worry, it won't take much time."

Xu Kong replied with a smile.

Although Su Zhi herself has already completed the game a long time ago and even unlocked the DLC mode.

But if you are really just a suitor, having the help of your future father-in-law and mother-in-law is definitely a rare treatment.

Moreover, Xu Kong also likes Su Zhi's parents very much. Although they are teachers, they are relatively open-minded.

During the previous Chinese New Year, we got along quite well with each other.

……

"There isn't much impact on Fengge, right?"

Su Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still asked with some concern.

Of course, she had known for a long time that Xu Kong had become Fengge's vice president and one of the company's bosses.

There have been a lot of rumors in the circle recently, and Su Zhi naturally heard some of them.

Especially the huge losses of Fengge's new drama, many people analyzed that when Fengge, once one of the largest film and television companies in the entertainment industry, will collapse depends entirely on how much money is left in the account.

"Don't listen to the rumors out there."

After making a series of decisions during this period, Xu Kong is no longer worried about Feng Ge's future development.

After all, Fengge's financial situation is good, and its talent pool is actually not bad either. There are many potential newcomers in the company.

It seems like Fengge is about to go bankrupt.

But Xu Kong himself is still quite confident in Fengge's future development.

……

"Song Youyou came to see me once before..."

Su Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still told the story.

Xu Kong:?
He really didn't know much about it.

But now I am not as worried as before.

After all, Su Zhi had already fooled Youyou before.

The Shura Field that I had been worried about, looks like it will not appear in the short term.

"About a month ago."

"She came to ask me about my experience in opening her own studio."

Su Zhi's answer made Xu Kong stunned for a moment.

According to calculations, it was when Zhu Changyun had just completed the negotiations and all the people under Feng Ge were taken away by the other party.

"Could it be?"

Facing Xu Kong's slightly confused eyes, Su Zhi nodded.

"She should be asking for you."

In Song Youyou's world, although Su Zhi and Xu Kong have a good relationship, because Su Zhi has unrequited love for him, their relationship cannot be too close.

And given Xu Kong's personality, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to ask about these things.

In other words, Youyou herself was aware of Fengge’s situation at the time.

As the daughter of Chairman Song Fuquan, of course it is impossible for her to leave.

But according to Xu Kong, if he wanted to have better development in the future, leaving Feng Ge at that time was indeed the best choice.

Su Zhi has successful experience in separating her own studio from the original agency and running it on her own.

Song Youyou obviously hoped that Xu Kong could imitate this approach.

However, later on, Xu Kong suddenly became Fengge's second largest shareholder, and the escape route she had helped to think of seemed to be of no use.

……

It is June now and summer vacation is coming soon.

At this time, Feng Ge also started to become busy.

Several projects were launched at the same time, and under Xu Kong's instruction, they began to consider selecting actors from within Fengge Company first.

The auditions of various crews also helped the young newcomers under the company, who were originally a little nervous, to put their worries to rest.

"Brother Shuang, please go there in person."

Xu Kong still stays in his own personal studio.

Although the company reserved an office for him as the vice president, Xu Kong felt that it was unnecessary, so he only went there a few times.

"What trouble is that? It's all my fault."

"Oh, right, the script..."

As the movie emperor, Chen Shuang had no airs at all at this moment. Instead, there was an impatient expression on his face.

Xu Kong was also a little surprised at this time. He didn't expect that he just mentioned that he was planning to invite the other party to be the protagonist of his new drama.

Not only did Chen Shuang agree immediately, he even hung up the phone and drove over.

In fact, what Xu Kong didn’t know was that Chen Shuang had indeed waited for quite a long time.

Because after the filming of "The Long Season" was completed, Xu Kong said that there would be a follow-up drama, and the script was planned to be written specifically for him.

Chen Shuang waited and waited, and even rejected several scripts, but who knew that Xu Kong turned around to shoot "Sweet Honey".

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost a year. Chen Shuang is no longer worried about scripts. He took on two dramas, one as the male lead in a TV series, and the other as the second male lead in a movie.

Finally, he got a call from Xu Kong himself. Of course, he accepted Xu Kong's invitation without any burden.

After all, after the huge success of "The Long Season", he no longer has the so-called burden of a movie actor, and he has absolute 100% confidence in the ability of the young director Xu Kong.

"The script has already been written."

Xu Kong didn't lie.

After finishing filming "The Long Season", Xu Kong planned to continue filming this suspense drama.

It was indeed decided that Chen Shuang would be the leading actor.

However, due to the sudden incident involving Guan Dachun, the filming of "Sweet Honey" was moved forward.

……

""The Hidden Corner"?"

After Chen Shuang took the script, he started reading it.

I feel a bit impatient.

Mainly because I didn’t feel it at the time, but later on when “The Long Season” became a big hit.

Later, he began to come into contact with many scripts for online dramas or TV dramas.

I suddenly realized that his idea that there is not much difference between TV series and movies is completely wrong.

In comparison, due to budget, length and other reasons, the degree of script polish of TV series cannot be compared with that of movies.

Not to mention a script of the same quality as "The Long Season", it is almost impossible to find one that can even reach a level of 7 or 8.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have received so many scripts after becoming famous again, and only reluctantly accepted one.

Even he himself was not so willing.

It was only because the other party's salary was too high and his financial situation was not very good that he accepted the job after his agent persuaded him several times.

But recently, Chen Shuang has once again fallen into the situation of "no plays to perform".

There is no way. Sometimes, the star’s status is too high and the pay is not low, which becomes another limitation.

After resolving his somewhat tight financial situation, Chen Shuang was no longer willing to take on scripts that he was not interested in or that he looked down upon.

After going around in circles, it seems that only Xu Kong can see hope.

He didn't even care whether Xu Kong planned to make a movie or continue filming a TV series this time. As long as it was directed by Xu Kong, Chen Shuang would be quite relieved.

This was based on the trust that the new director Xu Kong had in him in all aspects during the initial filming.

……

Looking at Chen Shuang who started reading the script right in his office, Xu Kong was not in a hurry to urge him.

Instead, he made his next plans while waiting quietly.

“You can indeed see some characteristics of The Long Season, but the style is completely different.”

"This version of The Bad Kids is darker and has a stronger suspenseful atmosphere."

"I am a complete villain, but there are indeed many aspects of the character Zhang Dongsheng that are worth exploring. The character is quite full. If I were to play the role..."

After reading the script, Chen Shuang began to subconsciously put himself into the role based on his own habits.

It has to be said that he must be quite satisfied with Xu Kong's script this time.

The dramatic conflict and plot direction of the entire drama are much faster than the slow and gradual pace of "The Long Season".

But the story is so exciting that Chen Shuang still thinks there is no problem.

It also fits with the high psychological expectations that Xu Kong, as a screenwriter, has.

……

"Director Xu, when will the filming start? I may need some time to study the script and the role."

Chen Shuang asked directly.

He had already agreed to take the job, and after reading the script, he completely let go of the last bit of worry.

It seems that although Feng Ge's life seems to be not very peaceful recently, Xu Kong's talent and creative ability have not been greatly affected.

"The filming period for this drama is relatively short. It may be completed around August at the latest, which means that the total filming period is estimated to be about one month."

Xu Kong expressed his plan.

“That time was indeed quite tense…”

"But there shouldn't be any problem on my end."

Although Chen Shuang didn't know whether his agent would arrange any activities for him in the future, at this moment he felt that the schedule should be based on his own wishes.

……

After discussing some ideas about the new drama "The Hidden Corner", Xu Kong suddenly remembered something and asked:
"By the way, Brother Shuang, I remember you don't have an agency?"

Chen Shuang didn't expect Xu Kong to ask this, but he nodded anyway.

"In recent years, all the acting and activities I've taken on have been handled by my studio's agent."

"I am used to freedom and don't like too much restriction."

Of course Chen Shuang knew that Xu Kong's purpose in saying this was simply to invite him to join Fengge.

He also knew that Xu Kong was now the vice president of Fengge and even the boss of the second largest shareholder.

Chen Shuang was naturally unwilling to do this.

He gave one reason, and the other was that after joining the company, he could no longer be so willful.

For example, before, he didn't shoot any movies for several years in a row. If there was an agency, they would probably not agree.

……

"Fine……"

Xu Kong didn't intend to force the other party.

Although Fengge is indeed short of people now.

Especially someone like Chen Shuang, who has great acting skills and is a high-profile actor in all aspects.

What Xu Kong really hopes is to have an actor like Chen Shuang to help him train the newcomers in the company.

Because of "The Long Season", Xu Kong also knew how much he could learn from these movie stars with amazing acting skills. This was much more effective than taking any acting class.

"Mainly, Fengge will have many film and television projects in the future, all of which are scripts written by me. Many of the roles are suitable for you, Brother Shuang."

Xu Kong said without hiding anything.

"You wrote the script yourself?"

Chen Shuang was stunned for a moment.

Then he realized that Xu Kong's current identity was different after all.

In addition to Fengge’s current situation, he certainly hopes to give some roles to the artists under his company.

This is considered an internal decision and is also based on considerations for the company's development.

If Xu Kong was just a director, he wouldn't have to think so much.

"Join Fengge..."

For a moment, Chen Shuang was really moved.

The main thing is that only after real cooperation can you know the level of the scripts written by Xu Kong, even if he is just an ordinary screenwriter.
