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

Chapter 289 The plan to seduce Xu Kong is still going on
Mao Yuzhe nodded almost without hesitation.

He dreams of singing Xu Kong's songs.

Who knew such an opportunity would actually come.

Just half an hour ago, he felt that his dream of becoming a singer was shattered.

There's no way around it. Although he signed a contract with Fengqing Entertainment, it's clear that the company has indeed invested real money in marketing him.

But the effect did not meet the original expectations at all.

In addition to the fact that he had offended the judges of the Mango TV show before, Mao Yuzhe really felt that he would have to go back to his hometown to find a class soon.

Who knew that in an unexpected turn of events, Xu Kong suddenly came to his company and expressed his desire to write a song for him.

……

Is Mao Yuzhe worth cultivating?
It is definitely worth it. It can be seen that the other party has a solid foundation in music theory, and most importantly, his voice is also very distinctive.

The only thing that may not be an advantage is the appearance.

But for a singer, if he wants to be talented, it is enough as long as he is not too ugly.

If you pay attention to makeup and dressing, you can still attract fans.

The most important thing is that Xu Kong had never thought about how far Fengqing Entertainment would develop.

But now, Feng Ge is starting over, and this is also his own company, so naturally he cannot favor one over the other.

However, the quality of the artists under Fengqing Entertainment did make Xu Kong a little disappointed.

There is no way, although Xu Kong still has a way to make some of the people he met today famous.

But there is really no need to do that.

The business level itself is relatively low, and even if you work really hard in the later stage, it cannot be made up for in a short period of time.

Singers like these who can't even perform live with the mic on really don't have much value in training.

In comparison, people like Mao Yuzhe can save a lot of trouble.

Xu Kong only needs to give the other party a song that suits him, and he doesn’t need to worry too much about the rest.

……

"Are you leaving today?"

Xu Kong stayed in Hangzhou for four days.

During this period, the accompaniment and recording engineer version of Mao Yuzhe's song were finally completed.

But in Mr. Yu's opinion, four days is indeed too short.

Although Xu Kong has been living in her house all the time, it feels like they are about to separate after just meeting each other.

However, Yu Yaqing's personality is naturally not that of a clingy girlfriend.

There was no plan to let Xu Kong change his original itinerary.

"I can't help it. The semi-finals of Singer are about to start being broadcast live, and I promised to participate..."

Previously, due to the release of "Sweet Honey" and the incident that happened to Feng Ge.

It was difficult for Xu Kong to extricate himself.

He has missed several episodes of "Singer".

However, Wu Youxue still reserved Xu Kong's place.

If I go this time, I will go directly to the semi-finals.

There will definitely be some voices, after all, Xu Kong has indeed competed in fewer shows than other singers who entered the semi-finals.

But Xu Kong always got first place in almost every session he participated in before.

Therefore, most viewers would not think that Xu Kong would not make it to the semi-finals.

So there are doubts, but they are not as big as imagined.

……

"By the way, Fengqing Entertainment may have to change its standards when signing new people in the future."

Xu Kong spoke up to remind him.

He had discussed this issue with Yu Yaqing before.

Although Fengqing Entertainment is indeed trying to transform itself into a film and television company capable of producing its own TV series and movies.

But after Xu Kong's performance, Fengqing Entertainment's current corporate structure is actually more suitable for developing into a record company model.

Similar to Jiying Media.

Especially in the process of discovering and training new talents, which is the so-called trainee selection, we have a fairly mature system.

This can be directly applied to signing some young musicians with potential in the future.

Under this premise, with Xu Kong as a walking music library, the speed of development will most likely exceed everyone's imagination.

"I'll pay attention..."

Yu Yaqing answered.

As Xu Kong was a lyricist and composer, she naturally guessed his purpose.

But given the current situation, it is not so easy to discover young musicians with potential.

Moreover, the cost and energy expended in all aspects are also higher.

As soon as some young musicians with a little potential appear, they will most likely be signed by big companies like Jiying.

For example, the program that Mao Yuzhe participated in this time, although it is only in the elimination stage, most of the contestants have already been signed by record companies in the circle.

Xu Kong also knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed and could only be done slowly.

It is not easy for Fengqing Entertainment to accumulate a certain number of young new singers in a short period of time.

But he also has his own ideas.

Because Fengqing Entertainment also has advantages that some other large companies do not have.

……

"In this episode of Singer, Xu Kong is coming back."

In a hotel in Xingcheng, Su Yuwei's agent spoke.

Xu Yaqing, manager of the artist department of Jiying Media, also nodded. She had also known about the news a long time ago.

After all, it's already the semi-finals. If Xu Kong doesn't come back, then if he participates in the final and wins the championship, he will be criticized a lot.

Of course, related comments have never stopped.

But Xu Yaqing knew clearly that these things would not have much impact on Xu Kong's current public opinion environment.

On the contrary, the popularity of "Singer" continued to decline in the second half due to Xu Kong's absence, which is obvious to everyone.

Many viewers are looking forward to Xu Kong’s so-called return as a king in subsequent games.

It’s true, the person who worries them the most at the moment is Xu Kong.

In the first two episodes of the show, Su Yuwei successfully won the first place thanks to the new songs given by the company.

It can be said that Su Yuwei is one of the new singers that Jiying Entertainment values ​​most at present.

If she could win the championship of "Singer", it would be of great help to her future career development and ceiling.

The company is indeed working hard and prepared new songs for Su Yuwei in both the semi-finals and the finals.

The only variable is Xu Kong’s return.

Although the two songs Su Yuwei got were of high quality, they were even singles specially tailored for her by two well-known songwriters within Jiying Entertainment Company.

But there is almost no need to guess that Xu Kong will most likely sing new songs in the next two games.

Because when they were doing it before, they released new songs in every episode.

Xu Kong’s popular singles seem to be free and can be easily released.

With the addition of Xu Kong now, the situation on the scene is completely different from the original one. It can be said that if Xu Yaqing's butt determines her head, her true inner thought is that she does not think Su Yuwei can win.

……

"By the way, Manager Xu, I heard a rumor before that the company was planning to contact Xu Kong..."

Su Yuwei's agent couldn't help but ask.

There was no way. Her original idea was actually to let Su Yuwei greet Xu Kong in private.

To put it bluntly, Su Yuwei is young and beautiful after all. If she can create some sparks with the other party, it will definitely be great news.

Now who knows if Xu Kong is willing to write songs for himself and make an album.

With the precedent of Su Zhi, maybe I will be the next one to win the three major awards for best album.

So when Jiying Entertainment announced that they were going to sign Xu Kong, Su Yuwei's agent was the most excited. Because if Xu Kong really came to their company, then Su Yuwei would naturally have a relationship with him as an old acquaintance, so it would be a natural thing for her to invite him to sing songs.

"Didn't you get the news?"

"Xu Kong is now the second largest shareholder of Fengge."

Xu Yaqin was quite depressed when she mentioned this matter.

Originally, they had even prepared the conditions for negotiating with Xu Kong, and even the company's chairman and several vice presidents took it very seriously.

But who knew that Jiying Media had not had time to contact Xu Kong.

Then I got the news that Xu Kong had become a shareholder of Fengge.

This matter can only end up in nothing.

……

"shareholder?"

Su Yuwei's agent was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, she didn't know about this matter which had almost been made public among the top executives in the entertainment industry a long time ago.

Su Yuwei is a newcomer, and her agent is not very experienced either.

There is a feeling that a mother is honored because of her daughter. If Su Yuwei had not been signed, she might have had little presence in Jiying Media and might be fired by the company at any time due to unsatisfactory performance.

She seems to be out of touch with the news about related industry matters.

"However, you can continue to let Su Yuwei contact Xu Kong."

"Didn't you say that the two of them had a good chat?"

Although Xu Kong is now completely bound to Feng Ge.

But strictly speaking, Fengge's current business situation does not have much conflict with their Jiying Media.

Although Xu Yaqing didn't think that Xu Kong alone could really change Fengge's fate of decline.

However, Xu Kong's creative ability is real and cannot be faked.

It is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with a well-known songwriter like Xu Kong, who can easily turn any song he writes into a hit single.

In fact, Jiying Media had never thought of going against Xu Kong.

There's no great hatred. If we can find opportunities for cooperation, there's absolutely no problem for everyone to make money in harmony.

……

The main reason is that Zhu Changyun's departure and the establishment of Changyun Film and Television have made Jiying Media no longer regard Fengge as a so-called rival.

Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, it is not a threat to a still strong tiger.

"Forehead……"

"But as for Yuwei, I can't tell her directly..."

Su Yuwei's agent had a conflicted expression.

"Not telling is the right thing to do."

"Just let this happen naturally."

Xu Yaqin replied.

Of course she knew that Su Yuwei was actually just a little girl.

She may even be more innocent than some girls of the same age because she is well protected by the company.

It is impossible to tell the other party directly that you should try to seduce Xu Kong.

Not to mention that Su Yuwei would definitely not be able to accept it, and if she really had a purpose, Xu Kong might also notice it.

Then the ideal effect will not be achieved.

What she wanted was that Xu Kong could really fall in love with Su Yuwei, thus making their relationship more complicated.

Xu Yaqing felt that although Xu Kong was indeed a genius.

But when a young and well-known female singer like Su Yuwei approaches you on her own initiative, there should be no way to refuse, right?

……

"By the way, how far has their relationship progressed?"

Xu Yaqin spoke with concern.

Su Yuwei's agent said:
"We should be considered friends..."

"But Yuwei is really something. She keeps talking about music-related topics."

Xu Yaqing nodded in affirmation.

"That's good, take it step by step."

Then she remembered something.

"You didn't get caught looking at her chat history, did you?"

The middle-aged woman who was Su Yuwei's agent shook her head.

"She didn't know that I knew her phone password, and I only saw it when I was keeping her phone for her during a TV show."

Xu Yaqing:
"That's good. You must pay attention to this aspect."

"At her age, it's easy for her to trust people, but it's also easy for such trust to break down, which is very important."

In fact, Xu Yaqing was not very satisfied with the business ability of agent Su Yuwei.

If she could, she would probably change people without hesitation.

After all, Su Yuwei is now a new singer that the company is focusing on training.

But Su Yuwei is still young after all, and what she values ​​more now is the so-called personal feelings.

She has almost no feelings or trust towards Jiying Entertainment. If this agent really intends to take Su Yuwei away, the other party will most likely obey and follow him.

There's nothing you can do about it. It was only after Su Yuwei entered Jiying Media that she began to gradually reveal her talent.

……

"By the way, does her contract expire in half a year?"

Xu Yaqing asked.

"Well, I'm already discussing contract renewal with her."

Su Yuwei's agent answered.

But in fact, the contract renewal should have been implemented long before.

The reason why I have been dragging it on is simply because I want to negotiate better terms.

After all, what Su Yuwei signed was just the company's most common Class B contract.

Although as Su Yuwei's popularity grew and her career development improved, Jiying Media increased its share ratio and resources.

But this is just the level of fluctuation in the lowest A-level artist contracts.

"This time the company plans to give him an S-level artist contract..."

Xu Yaqing's words made the woman's face suddenly reveal an expression of surprise that she couldn't hide.

"Thank you, Manager Xu!"

Xu Yaqing waved her hand: "No need to thank me, Yuwei's current potential and commercial value are recognized by the company's top management."

There are only a handful of young newcomers like Su Yuwei who can get Jiying's S-level contract.

The most recent one is Yang Jiangjie, who amazed the music industry with his first album released last year.

At the beginning, he and Xu Kong were called the four newcomers in the Chinese music scene.

But I don’t know if it’s because Su Zhi directly snatched away the annual album that was originally scheduled in advance, and the other party has indeed been hit hard in recent times and has been unable to recover.

But this has nothing to do with her.

The important thing is that after Su Yuwei gets an S-level contract, her share of income as an agent may double!
No, it might be more than that. When "Singer" is broadcast, even if she loses to Xu Kong, the runner-up or something, Su Yuwei's subsequent performance fees and some commercial endorsement prices will definitely rise.

She was feeling lucky that she had been a professional agent for so many years, and that most of the artists she managed were those who became popular for a few months before fading away, or those who had never been popular at all.

Until now, I am finally getting through it!

She suddenly became determined in her heart and decided to continue with her plan of letting Su Yuwei seduce Xu Kong.

With Xu Kong's help, Su Yuwei might become another Su Zhi in the future.
