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

Chapter 303: Youyou is still very "self-green"
"Deputy Director Wu, I don't agree with the cooperation with Fengqing Entertainment."

In Xingcheng, Mango's headquarters building, Wu Youxue had just finished speaking when he aroused the dissatisfaction of a senior executive at the scene.

"The size of Fengqing Entertainment itself is not worthy of our careful treatment."

"I know you did it because of Xu Kong, but that can't be an excuse."

"What's more, most of the artists in their company are newcomers. This can no longer be considered a win-win situation, but a pure gamble..."

……

Wu Youxue narrowed his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke.

The other party is a subordinate of another deputy director.

I am usually responsible for some mango business work.

Strictly speaking, Mango's specific partners have little say in matters such as what kind of artists to invite to participate in the program and some of Mango's self-produced variety shows.

But there is naturally a reason why he would take the initiative to speak at this time.

Although Wu Youxue has only been in office for a little over a year, it has to be said that he now has the final say in most of Mango's business.

Mao Zheyu, who became popular in Fengqing Entertainment some time ago, has completely exposed the relationship between Xu Kong and Fengqing Entertainment.

Even if you don't know that Xu Kong is one of the company's bosses, you should know that the relationship between the two is very close.

If Mango TV and Fengqing Entertainment reach a more in-depth cooperation, they will definitely suffer losses in the early stages. After all, it is equivalent to them actively promoting traffic to newcomers under Fengqing Entertainment.

But in the long run, with Xu Kong helping to write songs, there may be more than one Mao Zheyu in the future.

It will definitely be of great benefit to mangoes at that time.

But to some other leaders, the relationship between Wu Youxue and Xu Kong is well known, if the final plot development is really like this.

But it is estimated that by then, the entire Mango will be completely controlled by Wu Youxue.

Either way, it's not a good thing.

The best way is to completely cut off such possibility before the cooperation is officially finalized.

……

"We can discuss this matter slowly later..."

Wu Youxue never took a forceful or direct approach to promoting cooperation.

But with his current status and the real power in his hands, even if there is no nominal agreement, there are countless ways for him to invite artists from Fengqing Entertainment or to insert people into some of his own programs.

Of course, Wu Youxue also knew that he had only been in power for a short time.

Even if you have your own series of intentions and plans, you still need to proceed step by step.

There was no need to confront the other party completely at this time. After all, his position as deputy director was secure. At least he would not be a person who was completely manipulated by others like before.

Now it seems that the results of my decision to take a temporary leave of absence for half a year are satisfactory.

……

"Boss, do we really have to go to this extent?"

"And Xu Kong shouldn't have contacted us on his own initiative, right?"

After the high-level meeting ended, Ban Shibin, a variety show director under Mango TV, took the initiative to ask about his confusion.

Anyone can see that Wu Youxue intends to completely bind himself to Xu Kong.

Judging from the current situation, although Xu Kong has completed the transformation from an artist to a capitalist, his development will not be too bad no matter what the future holds.

But Xu Kong is Xu Kong, and his company is a company, not to mention the artists in the company.

These are two completely different things, right?
If Xu Kong took the initiative to ask, there would be nothing wrong with Wu Youxue agreeing.

At least I got a favor from the other party.

In the future, Mango TV really needs a superstar like Xu Kong who is so popular and may even become a phenomenal star.

Whether it is the other party itself, attracting traffic for some of their evening parties or variety shows, or the exclusive broadcasting rights of the drama directed by Xu Kong himself, etc.

But Xu Kong didn't speak up, so it was a little hard to understand why Wu Youxue was still helping him.

……

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Wu Youxue didn't explain much, just replied faintly.

Indeed, in the eyes of many people, Xu Kong’s own talent and gift are the most eye-catching.

But at the same time, because he had come into contact with Xu Kong many times, Wu Youxue realized that the person most worthy of investment was Xu Kong himself.

Not only from the other party's several judgments and decisions.

At the same time, what many people fail to see is Xu Kong’s talents besides being a singer, director and actor.

Before Xu Kong helped Su Zhi write songs, although she was already a queen of singing, her popularity was declining year by year, and there were even many people saying that she did not deserve the title of queen of singing.

The popularity is almost only limited to the die-hard fans accumulated before.

But after Xu Kong started writing songs for Su Zhi, especially the album he produced himself last year.

The final effect is extremely shocking.

Today, Su Zhi is not only a queen of singing, but also one of the most promising, popular and popular singers in the country.

In addition, Wu Yuzhe is a good example this time.

Wu Youxue didn't believe that the other party's two songs could become so popular without some marketing strategies and plans.

From the very beginning, Xu Kong had a very specific positioning for this newcomer who seemed to have no special features.

In just less than half a month, Wu Yuzhe has now become a rising star in the Chinese music scene.

The effect is even better than the champion singers selected from some talent shows with huge investments.

From all this, we can see that Xu Kong has very detailed plans on how to promote newcomers, including his subsequent series of business layouts.

And full of confidence.

This could be seen when he went to Beijing to discuss Fengge's subsequent film and television copyrights with the other party.

Xu Kong did not directly agree to the so-called deep-binding cooperation mode, but only promised to give priority to mango.

He is not worried at all that Feng Ge will not be able to sell the copyrights of other dramas except his own in the future.

So Wu Youxue chose to follow this one.

It wasn't out of any personal relationship with Xu Kong, and I wasn't thinking about helping or anything.

But simply, I am optimistic about Xu Kong's future.

Including Fengqing Entertainment and Fengge Film and Television represented by the other party.

……

On Friday, Xu Kong only participated in the filming of "The Beginning" in the morning and then left for Star City.

The filming of the two dramas is currently going very smoothly.

Especially for the drama "Beginning", the daily shooting plan was completed in excess.

Judging from the current situation, the filming of this drama may even be completed earlier than the drama "The Bad Kids" directed by himself.

Of course, the filming of "The Bad Kids" was actually not slow.

But after all, the requirements for Xu Kong in this drama are quite high, and many details require a certain amount of patience.

"The Beginning" is more like a story that doesn't require you to worry too much about the logical details, as long as the plot flow and the rhythm are not messy.

In addition to the plot, "The Bad Kids" has many details worth interpreting.

Including many metaphors that caused huge discussions in the previous life.

Xu Kong didn't want such a work to be ruined in his hands.

Whether it can become a hit is another matter, but at least its reputation must be guaranteed.

Fortunately, the crew has a group of veteran actors led by veteran actor Chen Shuang.

Sometimes, watching these actors perform is indeed an extra enjoyment. As for the young actors, although Xu Kong's requirements were not particularly strict, their performances exceeded expectations.

It is inseparable from the atmosphere of the entire crew.

There is no so-called competition for status, as everyone is familiar with each other and will be more immersed in the filming itself.

Even these young actors focused their whole attention on filming.

Of course, it is also because the three young actors are not actually the kind of children who are completely incapable of independent thinking.

The oldest is fifteen years old and the youngest is twelve.

At least I know I'm filming and working.

He is not a troublesome child who needs everyone to hold candy to comfort him so that he won’t cry.

……

"I want to go too……"

Faced with Youyou's words, Xu Kong had to say something to comfort her.

"It would be bad if you stayed in the crew and followed me."

Although Xu Kong did not spend too much time and energy on the show "Singer", it is the final after all, so it is understandable that Song Youyou wants to go to the scene to cheer for Xu Kong.

However, under Xu Kong's persuasion, the other party reluctantly stayed in the crew.

The reason used is quite common, it is just that the filming of "The Beginning" is still in the confidential stage.

Moreover, if Song Youyou goes along, it will easily lead to scandals, and there will also be suspicion that she is taking advantage of the finals to promote her new drama.

This will give people something to criticize you, and when public opinion arises, that will be bad.

But in fact, these are not a big deal to Xu Kong.

If he really intends to promote the drama "The Beginning", Mango TV will probably not only not refuse, but Wu Youxue will actively cooperate with Xu Kong.

As for the criticisms outside that he was taking advantage of the show finals to promote his new drama.

What's the big deal?
I just took the opportunity to promote it, so what?

It is highly likely that the so-called public opinion will not really be generated. On the contrary, Xu Kong is now the biggest source of traffic and popularity for the entire "Singer" program.

……

Then why not let Song Youyou go with them?
Of course it was because two days ago, Su Zhi sent him a message saying that she was waiting for him in Xingcheng.

Su Zhi didn't go there specifically to cheer for Xu Kong in the finals.

It was just a coincidence that there was some business activity there.

But only they knew that the two of them actually had their own little nest in Star City.

Although I may not be able to go there for a long time.

However, even the furniture was purchased by the couple themselves, giving the place a feeling of being in a newly-wed couple's new home.

When Xu Kong goes on business trips to Xingcheng now, he rarely stays in a hotel. Instead, he goes directly to the house he and Su Zhi bought together.

……

If Youyou follows us, it will probably be a bit troublesome when we meet.

Although Xu Kong still has a chance to get rid of Song Youyou who has been following him, doing it secretly will cause a lot of trouble.

Instead of doing this, it would be better not to let Song Youyou come along.

It's even simpler.

"By the way, has Sister Su Zhi contacted Brother Xu Kong recently?"

Song Youyou's sudden question startled Xu Kong.

The main reason was that he had just thought of Su Zhi in his mind, and the other party said this, as if he could read his mind.

However, Xu Kong still answered calmly on the surface:

"No, it feels like I haven't contacted her for a long time. Is there anything wrong?"

Clearly, not long ago, Xu Kong was still messaging Su Zhi, in which the other party told him that several potted plants in Xingcheng's house seemed to be dying, and asked Xu Kong what to do.

But at this moment he was lying with his eyes open.

And he didn't even blush or feel nervous.

It has to be said that Xu Kong was still nervous at the beginning, but now, such words come out casually.

……

"Have you given up..."

Song Youyou was also stunned for a moment, then muttered something in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

Hearing Xu Kong's question, Youyou quickly shook her head.

"nothing."

"What I mean is that if Brother Xu Kong has time, he can help Sister Su Zhi write a new song or something. I see that your fans are looking forward to working together again..."

Youyou still felt a little bit reluctant.

The main thing is that she can also see how much Su Zhi likes Brother Xu Kong.

And given the other person's personality, it is estimated that he will not be able to let go for a long time in the future.

This kind of unrequited love, unrequited love, really makes people feel a little sympathetic.

Although she certainly wouldn't give Brother Xu Kong to the other party.

But if we are not even allowed to meet, it would be too cruel.

So what Song Youyou was thinking at this moment was that she hoped the two of them could be just ordinary friends. At least she had no objection to them meeting normally on weekdays.

Youyou, who thinks she is really considerate and generous, appears to be so "self-deprecating" in Xu Kong's eyes.

Of course, this script was written by Su Zhi, although Xu Kong felt it was a bit outrageous.

But since it could run so smoothly, Xu Kong naturally continued to pretend that he knew nothing.

……

"Youyou just asked me where I am and what happened?"

"You're not going to 'turn yourself in', are you?"

After a while, when Xu Kong saw the message sent by Su Zhi, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Then he typed a reply: "Probably not..."

He wondered if Youyou really noticed something.

But not long after, I saw Su Zhi sent another message.

"never mind."

Xu Kong slowly typed a question mark, and then saw the chat history between Su Zhi and Youyou.

"Sister Su Zhi, where have you been recently? Are you still in Beijing? [grin]"

"I'm telling you something in secret. No, you should know that Brother Xu Kong is going to Xingcheng this weekend to participate in the finals of "Singer."

After Song Youyou finished speaking, Su Zhi replied calmly:
"Yeah, I know. I saw the promotion for the show."

Then Song Youyou continued to reply:
"What I mean is, maybe Sister Su Zhi, if you happen to be performing in Xingcheng or have an event or something, maybe we can meet."

"After all, weren't you just testing me before? We can still be friends in the future. I don't think Brother Xu Kong will refuse..."

"【Grinning】"
