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

Chapter 337 You know, I'm very greedy

"I don't know what to post, Xiaoxia, can you help me post it?"

Chen Xiaoxia looked at Song Youyou helplessly as she acted coquettishly towards her.

There's no way. Although I've gotten used to it, I still feel I can't refuse.

Originally, the number of views of "The Beginning" exceeded 1 billion, and the lead actress Song Youyou should have needed to make some related remarks or something.

If it were any other artist as young as him, they would definitely not miss such an opportunity to show off.

After all, many people may never come across such a hit drama in their lifetime.

Besides, don’t young people dislike being restricted by their agencies?
For example, in order to avoid saying the wrong thing, it is generally impossible for agents to let artists operate various social media accounts themselves.

But Song Youyou may be a special exception.

She hardly cares about any news on the Internet. In today's terms, she is just surfing the 2G network.

I don't really care about being famous or popular.

On the contrary, she enjoys the process of acting more. Some other actors more or less have the dream of becoming famous movie stars, but Song Youyou simply just likes acting.

……

"When Sister Hong comes later, if she asks, just say that I have been staying here the whole time and have not been anywhere else!"

"You must remember this."

Song Youyou opened her mouth and gave some instructions.

In fact, even though she knew she was going to meet Lin Hong, she still couldn't help but go meet her brother Xu Kong first.

Chen Xiaoxia, the assistant, looked a little embarrassed.

She is actually only a few years older than Song Youyou.

But perhaps because he has always been a worker, he does look much more mature and stable.

Of course, because she is young and does not have much experience, it is obvious that she has no deterrent effect on Song Youyou.

Many times, Chen Xiaoxia was unable to stop Song Youyou's misbehavior and was forced to become her accomplice.

Strictly speaking, Song Youyou is indeed her main service target as an assistant and she cannot afford to offend him.

But on the other hand, Lin Hong was the one who hired her and was her immediate superior. With just one word, she could lose her job.

If you really help to lie and you are not discovered, it is fine, but if you are discovered, you will be in real trouble.

……

In the end, Chen Xiaoxia decided to keep Song Youyou's secret.

The main reason was that she didn't think Lin Hong would suddenly ask whether Song Youyou had been staying here the whole time.

Compared with Xu Kong, although Song Youyou also has her own personal studio, it is much smaller in scale.

Apart from the young assistant Chen Xiaoxia, there are only two other relevant public relations and operations personnel.

Lin Hong, as the agent, basically doesn't come here during normal times.

The main reason is that Song Youyou is busy except when she is on the crew and when the new drama she is starring in is aired.

They don't even take on many variety shows or endorsements. These people in the studio do have a leisurely job with a good salary.

……

"Sister Hong."

Seeing the serious Lin Hong, Chen Xiaoxia took the initiative to say hello.

Song Youyou also shouted, but she was still subconsciously a little scared.

Although she knew very well that Lin Hong probably had no idea what she had just done.

But I still couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

The main reason was that I just went to Xu Kong's place, and while I was about to meet Sister Hong, I accidentally fired a gun in Xu Kong's office.

Of course, she did mean it.

After all, if she hadn't suddenly cleaned the gun on a whim, Xu Kong, who was busy working, would not have accidentally fired the gun.

"The new drama is very popular. I have arranged several commercial endorsements and activities. Please help her arrange her schedule when the time comes."

Lin Hong was speaking to her assistant Chen Xiaoxia.

Song Youyou was about to speak when Lin Hong, who had guessed her thoughts, quickly responded:

"This matter is non-negotiable."

……

Thinking back, she actually didn't object to Song Youyou wanting to act.

But the only requirement is that she must be the other party's agent, and Song Youyou needs to obey her arrangements.

In fact, at the beginning, Lin Hong thought that Song Youyou might just be having fun.

However, with resources like Feng Ge, it is not a big problem to let Song Youyou play some roles with not many lines, or even star in a low-budget drama.

Who knew that Song Youyou actually had a very high talent for acting.

Even her acting teacher was shocked.

In addition, although Song Youyou's acting career had Feng Ge's support, Lin Hong never expected that it would be so smooth.

When he first debuted, he successfully gained fame with his first low-budget youth campus drama and became the so-called nation's first love.

I don’t know if it was luck or something else, but I met Xu Kong later.

After three consecutive dramas, "Want to See You" made her acting skills recognized by more people.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a hit among hits, and the character of Zhao Linger is one that has directly increased the national popularity.

When it comes to the current "Beginning", Song Youyou herself doesn't have much feeling, but Lin Hong, who has been working in this industry for so many years, of course knows that Song Youyou's popularity and fame among young actresses in China are definitely T0 level.

I had never thought of letting Song Youyou take on too much business before, so the selection standards were quite high.

But given her current situation, it seems that there is no endorsement that she cannot negotiate.

After careful consideration, Lin Hong finally decided to negotiate with Song Youyou for a few endorsements that were in line with her positioning in all aspects.

At the same time, he also felt that Song Youyou was always around Xu Kong every day. Although it was probably impossible to stop her, he still needed to find something for her to do.

……

"understood……"

Although Song Youyou was somewhat reluctant, she had no choice but to agree when she saw Lin Hong's serious expression.

In comparison, she really just found these various notices annoying and meaningless.

It would be better to stay at Fengge headquarters, so that you can meet Xu Kong secretly often.

"By the way, I have some scripts here, you can take a look at them..."

After some consideration, Lin Hong decided that Song Youyou really needed to seriously plan her career path.

She actually has all the talent for acting and all the necessary conditions.

It is simply a question of which direction to develop in.

Now that we have the hit drama, if we want to enter the film industry in the future, we will just need some roles that are easy to win awards.

"No, Brother Xu Kong said that there will be new plays for me to play in the future..."

In fact, Xu Kong never said this, but for Song Youyou, she really didn't want to act in other directors' films. After all, once the filming started, she probably wouldn't have the chance to meet the other party for several months.

"Besides, I don't trust the quality of scripts written by others."

Lin Hong was stunned for a moment. In fact, she was of course aware of Song Youyou's little thoughts.

But there was really nothing to refute at this time. The few dramas she found were all Lin Hong's own resources, and some of them were naturally not Feng Ge's dramas.

In fact, Lin Hong didn’t think that Song Youyou had to be tied to Feng Ge, because this would instead restrict her future development.

But what if it was a script that Xu Kong tailored specifically for Song Youyou?

As things stand now, there are probably no other film and television projects in the whole country that can compare to this one.

There is no way, because after the broadcast of Xu Kong's "The Beginning", he once again continued his legend of making every drama a hit.

Many people working in the film and television industry now find this incredible, and some even begin to suspect whether Xu Kong has some metaphysical means like plug-ins that allow him to predict the market performance of his works in advance.

……

"That……"

Hearing Lin Hong's hesitation, Song Youyou quickly leaned over and started acting coquettishly.

"Sister Hong~"

Lin Hong finally gave in.

"But you must attend these commercial endorsements and activities I arranged for you."

Song Youyou naturally agreed with joy.

Lin Hong did begin to doubt herself.

In the past, this would have been absolutely impossible.

But now, after Xu Kong accepted Feng Ge’s plans for some subsequent film and television projects.

Song Fuquan couldn't help but sigh that he was getting old.

The popularity of "The Beginning" seems to have really verified what Song Fuquan said, that the young man Xu Kong is more capable than their older generation.

So when he heard that Xu Kong planned to personally plan Song Youyou's future development.

It was rare for her to think that she could not compare to Xu Kong.

Unconsciously, Lin Hong had more confidence in Xu Kong's abilities.

With Xu Kong writing a script specifically for Song Youyou, it seems that there is really no need to worry about subsequent developments.

……

For Feng Ge, the huge success of "The Beginning" is indeed a big deal.

Although many people have little to do with this drama, they don't get any advantage at all.

But the company, which had been rumored to be on the decline, has once again produced a hit, and it has crushed Changyun Film and Television's new drama, which is really a morale booster.

Now even many newcomers who have just joined the company no longer worry about their so-called development issues.

As long as there is a chance to get a role in Xu Kong's crew in the future, or as long as it is a script written by him, like this time, even though the director is Su Meng, she can still become popular.

Liu Yue, who plays Lu Di, is the best example.

Without even considering that with the popularity of "The Beginning", the other party's fan base has almost exceeded one million in just one week.

The only exception is Xu Kong.

He has a lot to do recently.

Because the filming of the two projects "Operation Red Sea" and "Squid Game" has entered the final stage.

In order to avoid large-scale reshoots later, Xu Kong still has to review the finished film materials.

The workload is not small.

But overall, both directors did not disappoint him.

Although the subject matter itself is within their comfort zone, the script can be said to explain everything in great detail.

But Xu Kong felt that there were mostly no faults in the film, and the directing abilities of the two were still very strong.

If it were some new directors, or directors like Su Meng who had been confined to shooting one type of drama for too long, they probably wouldn't be able to achieve this level.

……

In addition, Xu Kong needs to go on a business trip to Kimchi.

If the director of "Squid Game" Yao Guanyu hadn't brought it up, he would probably have forgotten about it.

Although I didn't agree to play the leading role at first, I still decided to make a guest appearance.

Although it was just one scene, it was impossible to have the entire crew, including the male lead acting opposite him, come to China to shoot just for him.

At this point, most of the shots have been completed, except for Xu Kong's part, there are only some parts that need to be checked and filled in.

The filming cost of "Squid Game" is not low, although a large number of actors and crew members from Korea have been hired.

But the core creative team of the crew are still Feng Ge’s own people.

The food, clothing, housing and transportation required for cross-border filming are all huge costs.

In addition, there are props, landscaping, etc., which are also considerable expenses.

Compared to his previous life, Xu Kong knew that the cost this time would definitely be greater.

There is no way. In the previous life, almost all the team members were from Korea, but the producers were streaming platforms from Europe and the United States.

But unlike those who directly invest money just to produce a drama, Feng Ge and Xu Kong's purpose this time is obviously more complicated.

Including the new company established by Feng Ge in Paocai, it is also to pave the way for the future.

It can be said that if "Squid Game" is successful, there is a high probability that Fengge will really gain a firm foothold in the overseas market, at least in Korea, in the future.

As for success or not, Xu Kong is very confident.

Although there may be many changes, the quality of the drama itself is there.

In fact, the quality is not that high. It’s just that the subject matter and the script are similar to “The Beginning”. As a commercial film, its performance is absolutely at its best.

……

"I also need to go!"

Facing Xu Kong who was planning to go on a business trip, Shang Yuxin took the initiative to speak.

"Hasn't your part been completed?"

Xu Kong couldn't help but ask back.

Although Shang Lucha is the female lead, she doesn't have many roles in the whole drama.

The story mainly revolves around the male protagonist's perspective.

Of course, in the previous life, the actor was a complete newcomer and was able to become popular in such a short time, although there may be some coincidence involved.

But Xu Kong certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.

For Shang Yuxin, this role is indeed the most suitable one.

After all, although "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" made her famous in Korea, most of the audiences are just familiar with her face, and Shang Yuxin herself is not that famous.

If "Squid Game" replicates the direction of the previous life this time, it will definitely be of great benefit to Shang Yuxin's future development in the overseas market.

This is also the reason why Xu Kong still asked Shang Yuxin to star in such a web drama after she successfully entered the film industry with the movie "Sweet Honey".

"Of course I want to have more opportunities to be alone with you..."

As Shang Lucha spoke, her voice gradually became smaller and more seductive, while she got closer and closer to Xu Kong.

"You know, I'm very greedy~"
