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

Chapter 346 Su Yuwei's cleverness

For Xu Kong, the main purpose of coming to Hangzhou this time was actually to discuss the subsequent development of Fengqing Entertainment.

There is also the upcoming "The Bad Kids".

After all, in addition to Feng Ge, Fengqing Entertainment is also one of the producers of this drama.

But in comparison, Fengqing Entertainment is only responsible for paying the money.

Just get the points in the end.

"It will be broadcast on Penguin. The specific broadcast time has not been determined yet, but the relevant profit-sharing contract has been finalized."

Although Yu Yaqing will not participate, of course, she has enough trust in the decision made by Xu Kong.

However, some basic situations still need to be reported to the other party.

……

When Xu Kong was still an artist under the company, Yu Yaqing actually set a rule that they could not talk about work matters in private.

Otherwise, Mr. Yu would not really ignore it.

But there must be some unhappiness.

But now, Xu Kong's identity has changed, and she also knows that Xu Kong doesn't have that much time now.

I don't really care about it.

"Seventy percent?"

"Did Penguin Video really offer such conditions?"

Yu Yaqing was shocked by the profit sharing ratio Xu Kong mentioned.

What large platforms like Penguin Video are actually most reluctant to give up are the advertising fees paid by advertisers at the investment conference and the membership fees of their own platforms.

Even some of the profit-sharing models in the past.

The money is also paid according to the so-called playback volume and data.

In other words, the rules are completely set by the platform, and film and television producers are in a very passive position.

There is no way, this is the strength of domestic video platforms now.

What she didn't expect was that Xu Kong's new drama this time actually made the other side change even the so-called rules.

This is a little too unbelievable.

……

Although there is no so-called guaranteed copyright fee.

But given Penguin Video's platform influence and number of users, it is almost impossible for it to make a loss.

After all, it is estimated that they can get quite high advertising fees from various brands alone.

Xu Kong spread his hands.

"I don't know the conditions they gave themselves."

Xu Kong indeed had never had such an idea.

The main reason is that even he doesn't think he can cross the bottom line of the video platform and get the so-called share.

Even for "The Long Season" which was invested by Penguin Video, the share that Xu Kong got as the director was just the share from the advertisers.

Now even the payment for new members has been directly given up.

I have to say that all of this is really thanks to Tudou Video.

If the other party had not set such a precedent first, Penguin Video would probably not have gritted its teeth and offered such conditions this time.

……

"I'm a little regretful. I should have allowed Fengqing Entertainment to continue to develop in the film and television industry."

Yu Yaqing said jokingly.

But in his heart, he was really surprised at Xu Kong's current influence.

This kind of treatment is probably unique in the entire domestic TV drama and online drama field.

And it was aimed at Xu Kong, not a game between a platform and a film and television company.

It can be said that if every subsequent drama of Xu Kong receives similar treatment, he will not have to worry too much about losing money.

Although there is no guaranteed copyright fee, with Xu Kong and the appeal of Penguin, investment promotion will probably be very smooth.

The investment for this time's "The Bad Kids" was only about 100 million to 200 million yuan, and the copyright fee from Mango TV alone recovered the cost.

The advertising fees for attracting investors and various commissions are almost all net profits.

As an investor, Fengqing Entertainment really benefited from this.

Of course, the same is true for Feng Ge.

If there was no Xu Kong, how could Feng Ge have received such treatment now?

I can only say that Mr. Song is quite courageous.

It was so decisive that he gave Xu Kong so many shares at a low price.

If it were her, Yu Yaqing knew she wouldn't be able to do it if she didn't have a deeper private relationship with Xu Kong.

……

In the following time, Xu Kong continued to stay at Mr. Yu's residence at night.

But during the day every day, I almost always went to Fengqing Entertainment’s corporate headquarters.

The main job is to record new songs for Su Yuwei and several other singers who will participate in "King of Masked Singer" later.

Overall, the difficulty is definitely not high.

Because the songs Xu Kong chose were all types that were more suitable for everyone.

The only slightly troublesome person is the singer Ke Chen.

It wasn't the first time that the other three people met Xu Kong, although even Lan Shu, who had participated in "Singer" with him before, was not very familiar with them.

But overall, with the experience of previous cooperation, things went much more smoothly than the first time Xu Kong helped them write a song.

As Ke Chen said, actually, the first time they met was a few days ago.

He also didn't understand why he, who had hardly performed well and was even the worst among the five, was favored by Teacher Xu Kong.

But since the other party chose him, he certainly couldn't give up.

He cherishes every opportunity he gets.

Although such a pie in the sky was a bit outrageous, I still made a lot of preparations before officially looking for Xu Kong.

He even paid close attention to eating and drinking, trying his best to adjust his Sangying to the best stage.

……

"Teacher Xu Kong."

Xu Kong saw Ke Chen coming in and casually pointed at the sofa in the recording studio.

"You can sit wherever you like."

After taking a quick look at the other person, I have to say that Ke Chen is indeed a little too ordinary.

Whether it's appearance or temperament.

There is no potential to be a star at all.

This is indeed the case. Although Ke Chen made his debut through a singing program, he later changed several small companies, but he was always an unknown figure.

It’s no wonder that Mr. Yu was surprised that Xu Kong took it seriously and chose him.

……

Ke Chen looked a little nervous.

Although he himself is several years older than Xu Kong.

But the difference in achievements and status between the two is indeed a bit too big.

He almost witnessed with his own eyes Xu Kong’s journey from a so-called traffic star to where he is today.

Because of the song "Best Friend", Ke Chen started paying attention to this colleague.

Originally, I thought that Xu Kong was able to write such a song just by luck.

The only thing that made him envious was Xu Kong's looks and beauty.

This is a huge advantage in the entertainment industry.

Many young artists who have no talent or ability at all can gain a large number of fans just by relying on their looks, and at the same time obtain resources and treatment that they could never dream of.

However, what was unexpected was that Xu Kong didn't seem to rely on luck at all.

In the following two or three years, it completely took off.

And there is almost no hindrance.

Suddenly, he stood at the top of the Chinese music scene.

Although many people now think that Xu Kong is actually a very good singer and composer.

But after all, he is too young and his status should not be so high.

However, Ke Chen knew very well that it was only because Xu Kong was still in his prime that everyone did not have too many feelings about it.

After another ten or twenty years, Xu Kong might become an undisputed legend.

……

"I've heard some of your previous songs." "Your voice is actually quite good."

Xu Kong opened his mouth and gave his own evaluation.

"really?"

Faced with praise, Ke Chen couldn't be happy.

In fact, he was not very confident about his own voice.

I have met many colleagues before, including singers, music directors of small companies, and songwriters.

Everyone's evaluation of him is that he has good singing skills and a decent voice.

But it's just a little too sharp.

This is not a very pleasing thing to the audience.

As a pop singer, the most important thing is actually the so-called listening experience.

This is the key to attracting your audience.

Although compared with some ordinary people, Ke Chen is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack, and his level is quite amazing.

But her appearance and temperament don't have much of an advantage, and compared with her peers, her voice is a bit sharp and not as pleasant to listen to.

A senior executive of a former company once gave Ke Chen a direct professional death warrant.

It is suggested that he change his career early while he is still young.

Otherwise, in the future, it may be a problem even to support yourself.

……

"In fact, your biggest problem is that you lack confidence."

"This is fatal to singers performing on stage."

Xu Kong spoke.

That’s right, for singers, unless they are truly studio singers, the kind who rarely show up and don’t accept performances.

Otherwise, the typhoon is really too important.

Some artists who are not actually professional singers probably sing terribly at some parties, but they give people the feeling of being confident enough on the stage.

If you do some lip-syncing and tweaking in the later stage, the effect will definitely be good.

What Ke Chen needs most now is confidence on stage.

Of course, Xu Kong also knew that this kind of thing could only be done slowly.

Confidence and presence also need to be accumulated.

"Masked Singer", which does not require him to appear in public this time, is indeed a good opportunity for Ke Chen to find confidence.

……

Ke Chen didn't say anything, mainly because he knew that Xu Kong was right.

But there was nothing he could do to change this.

He is not the type to get nervous before going on stage. He even gets excited and agitated before going on stage.

But when I was actually performing, I thought more about whether I sang well enough.

Sometimes I even imagine the audience yelling at him to get off the stage.

This leads to a lack of confidence in one's performance on stage.

I sang the entire song while standing with my body almost stiff.

He didn't even dare to look the audience in the eye.

Of course, the performance would not be good.

When he first participated in the audition program filled with amateurs, the audience thought he was just an ordinary person. The stunning contrast made him a little famous.

But now, they have all become professional singers.

But it's still the same as before.

What everyone thinks is that he does not have the so-called star looks and temperament and is not suitable for this job.

……

"Let's skip this point for now. You don't have to appear on The Masked Singer this time anyway, so it should have less impact on you."

"Let's first discuss the style of songs that are more suitable for you."

"Have you ever thought about completely abandoning your current singing style and singing in a different way?"

As Xu Kong spoke, Ke Chen was indeed shocked.

The main reason was that he himself had never thought about what Xu Kong said.

Teacher Xu Kong actually asked him if he could sing female voice?

Isn't this a bit too hasty?
Although his voice was a little shrill, and because of his temperament and nervousness when speaking, he had been called a sissy.

But he himself is still a little disgusted with these things.

Xu Kong's suggestion sounds like a broken jar.

……

More than an hour passed
"Adjust it again."

“The feeling just now was particularly good.”

Xu Kong continued to encourage.

At this time, Ke Chen was indeed a little surprised.

He didn't expect that he would be able to sing the song Xu Kong gave him so easily.

Although I'm still not used to the way female voices sing.

But the result was so shocking that even he himself was shocked.

……

It has to be said that Xu Kong has spent more time on Ke Chen these days than on the other three singers combined.

Of course, the second one is Su Yuwei.

But Xu Kong always felt that the other party did it on purpose.

Even if Su Yuwei is really not as good as Su Zhi, she certainly cannot be worse in terms of talent.

Even far exceeding more than 90% or even more of their peers of the same age.

But every time other parts perform almost perfectly, there are mistakes in some details.

Then at lunchtime, Su Yuwei could easily sing the new song he gave her to perfection.

It seemed like all the mistakes I made before were just a deliberate act of cleverness, because I wanted to stay with him longer.

……

"Teacher Xu Kong, let me treat you to a meal."

"You were the one who treated me in the capital before. Although some accidents happened, it's time for me to treat you this time."

After it was over, Su Yuwei spoke naturally.

"Today I might..."

Before Xu Kong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Su Yuwei.

"I beg you."

"I don't have any friends in Hangzhou, and it's impossible for me to go eat hotpot alone."

“I really want to eat it!”

Su Yuwei's words don't stand up to scrutiny at all.

Even if he has no friends, he can still be trusted with his fame and the treatment he receives at Fengqing Entertainment.

If you really want to eat something, just tell your agent and he will definitely make the best arrangements for you.

Besides, it’s a different era now. Even if it’s hotpot or ordering something outside, it’s not a problem at all as long as you are willing to spend money.

……

However, Xu Kong did not expose it, and he finally softened his heart.

In the final analysis, Xu Kong could also see that Su Yuwei had a dependent personality.

When I was at Jiying before, I listened to my agent and the company's arrangements for almost everything.

This can also give her a lot of security.

Now that she has come to Fengqing Entertainment, no one dares to bully her.

But some people who are introverted and simple-minded, and not good at socializing, find it difficult to integrate and adapt quickly.

To sum up, Xu Kong was indeed responsible, as he was the one who provoked the other party first.

Although the purpose may just be to poach people to Fengqing Entertainment.

But he still felt a little guilty about just leaving it alone.
