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

Compared with the constant wailing from Penguin Video and Tudou, Kiwi was almost making a big noise at this time.

Facing the siege from almost all the senior executives, Qin Xian seemed very calm at this time.

When he made up his mind to sign a contract with Feng Ge, he had actually been able to roughly foresee this result.

Of course, although he remained silent, the top executives of Kiwi Fruit were unwilling to miss this good opportunity to attack.

"The profit-sharing model is already outrageous, and you're giving up 80% of the profits directly. Qin Xian, are you crazy?"

At this moment, Xu Weijie had no intention of being polite at all. He didn't even call him Mr. Qin, but just addressed him by his name.

As for some other people, they also spoke up and agreed.

"Boss Qin really didn't take anyone from our entire Kiwifruit group seriously. He signed the contract just like that."

"Didn't you have a conflict with Xu Kong before? You agreed to this slave treaty this time. Did he trick you into believing it?"

……

"Everyone, I was indeed the one who signed the contract this time."

"So if there are any losses or other situations in the future, I will bear them all!"

Qin Xian had no choice at this time.

Put all the chips on Feng Ge's new drama.

Although his starting point was definitely for the development of kiwi fruit, and even among all the people present, no one had more pure and good intentions for kiwi fruit than him.

But in the final analysis, if this drama really flopped in the end, regardless of the losses, there would definitely be a reckoning.

By then, his current position and power in the company will most likely be lost.

Fortunately, there is some good news.

That is, after signing the contract, he went to watch "Squid Game" as soon as possible.

In general, although the project may not necessarily make much profit, the probability of it failing is still very small.

Even if we put aside Xu Kong as the screenwriter, the overall quality of the show alone still has great potential to become a hit.

After all, Penguin Video and Tudou Video are not fools. It is impossible for them to offer a 70% profit share without even watching the drama.

Oh, that’s not right. If that’s the case, then our President Qin Xian seems to be such a fool.

At that time, he really didn't even know what the show was like.

But he still went directly to Fengge’s headquarters and proposed a condition of adding 10% on the basis of other platforms.

Most of them are impulsive, and a small part is for the future development of kiwifruit.

The more rational ones simply think that since other platforms are willing to offer the same conditions, they can accept them.

Another ten percent is no big deal.

I just didn’t expect the price to have risen to a terrifying 70%.

……

"Of course. Don't you take full responsibility? Do you want us to take the blame for you?"

Xu Weijie spoke in a sarcastic tone.

He is the one who suffered the most direct loss this time.

After all, it was originally agreed that he would be responsible for the cooperation with Fengge in the future.

But after Qin Xian's sudden and forceful intervention, he definitely couldn't continue to take over.

The main thing is that Qin Xian really gives people the feeling that he is a little crazy.

An 80:20 profit sharing ratio is acceptable.

If I take over now, wouldn't I be taking the blame for the other party?

So for him, what he is experiencing now is only temporary.

After the show is aired, when the accounts are calculated, Kiwifruit will find that it will not make any profit but will even suffer losses. Qin Xian will naturally give up his position at that time.

Although it is not certain that he will be able to take the position, looking at the senior executives currently present, he is definitely the most suitable and legitimate one.

……

"I've said I understand, Mr. Xu!"

Qin Xian's sudden tone of voice finally made Xu Weijie shut up.

Although he was still complaining in a low voice, he didn't dare to confront Qin Xian head-on.

After all, if Qin Xian was really just an ordinary company executive, he would not be willing to interact with people from other company factions given his complete ignorance of the ways of the world.

With his solitary personality, he would probably be fired from Kiwi within a month at most.

But Qin Xian’s identity as the chairman’s younger brother is still too special.

Moreover, he is not a new member. If we consider his qualifications, Qin Xian can also stand out.

Although many senior executives almost unanimously excluded him at the meeting.

Most of the time, Qin Xian changed his temper and began to endure it silently.

But if he really got angry, they would still be a little scared.

After all, no matter how much of a veteran figure you are, you can't compare to the direct blood ties of others.

……

The contract between Kiwi and Feng Ge had just been signed, and Xu Kong went to see some of the actors currently scheduled for "Ghost Blows Out the Light".

In addition to Liu Yue, who plays the male lead Hu Bayi.

The three main characters in the whole drama are all under Fengge.

As a director, Su Meng is well aware of this.

Although Xu Kong said that if the actors within the company are not suitable, they can choose actors from outside the company.

But in fact, she herself knows that since this drama is filmed for so many seasons at one time, it can be said that there is a high probability that the three leading actors will be able to develop to the first-tier level in the future.

The actress who plays Shirley Yang is Fengge, a 28-year-old actress who is considered a second-tier actress.

Although there has never been any hit drama in which she played the leading female role.

But she often plays the second or third female role in some popular dramas.

There are indeed very few elderly people in Fengge now.

The main reason is that most of those who had developed well were taken away by Zhu Changyun.

However, many of the actors who remain actually have great potential.

At least in terms of acting skills and appearance, he is up to standard.

It’s just that due to age, resources, the overly one-dimensional images of the roles he played before and other reasons, he has been stuck in that state of neither progress nor progress for a long time without any breakthrough.

In terms of career, most of these people have actually accepted reality.

It’s no longer like when I first entered the industry, when I only wanted to become famous.

Moreover, they have rich experience in filming and their professionalism makes people worry-free. For Feng Ge today, these actors are still relatively valuable assets.

……

And this actress named Ding Ledan is one of the representatives.

I have been in the industry for nearly ten years, but I have never been very successful.

But he doesn't have to worry about filming. Even if he leaves Fengge, he still has his own network of relationships.

She has also gotten used to her current work pace.

It's nothing more than filming two or three dramas a year, and the roles are almost the same. Most of the time, they are supporting actresses, or even female villains.

The income in the entertainment industry is definitely not very high, but compared to some other professions, it is considered quite good.

After working hard in Beijing for so many years, I have successfully settled down.

I am still paying off my mortgage, and my life is very different from the colorful celebrity life that most people imagine.

But what surprised Ding Ledan this time was that she knew about the drama "Ghost Blowing Light", but she didn't think she could be selected. It would be good enough to play a supporting role.

After all, given her age, compared with some young juniors who are just in their early twenties, she has almost no advantages except that she is less troublesome.

With her fame, it can be said that playing the female lead will hardly bring any popularity or traffic.

……

But what Ding Ledan didn't expect was that she had only planned to audition for the supporting actress role, but was suddenly told that she was planned to play the female lead in the drama.

Ding Ledan felt it was a little unbelievable.

The main reason is that she was used to her previous work pattern and life.

I am no longer at the age where I would expect something good to happen to me.

But this time it really was a blessing in disguise.

Because after reading the script of the first part of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", she suddenly realized that the drama has huge potential.

Although there have been other fantasy adventure dramas in China.

But it is obvious that there are almost no IPs that are well-known outside the circle.

And this "Ghost Blows Out the Light" simply made her, who has read quite a lot of scripts and novels, feel a little shocked.

It can be said that she has already made a judgment in her mind that this drama will most likely become a big hit in the future!

The heroine she plays can be said to be the absolute leading lady in the entire drama, rather than some false propaganda.

Although her role is not the most among the three, it can be said that her role in the whole drama is enough to make up for all the other female characters.

The main reason is that apart from Shirley Yang, there aren’t many other female characters in this drama.

……

Afterwards, Ding Letan of course made considerable preparations and successfully seized this opportunity.

After the decision was made, director Su Meng told her another piece of shocking good news.

This "Ghost Blows Out the Light", whose full name is "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue", will be the first part of this series.

The entire "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series consists of eight films in total.

It's not the kind of pie in the sky, but all the scripts have already been written by Xu Kong.

She had this feeling after reading the script.

Because there are still more foreshadowings that have not been resolved.

Especially since the curse on these three people has not been lifted yet, it is obvious that this was done intentionally.

But what I thought at that time was that Xu Kong, as a screenwriter, might be planning to make a sequel.

It's nothing more than just leaving a hook when writing the script.

This kind of situation is very common in current domestic film and television dramas.

In fact, many people don’t think that much, but it is the producer’s requirement for the screenwriter.

This way, if the show becomes a hit, the sequel can be filmed more smoothly.

But as for the so-called sequel, the screenwriter himself hasn't thought about how to write it.

I'll continue editing when the time comes.

As for the flop of the show, that of course doesn’t matter.

……

But this time, the company's "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was indeed launched with great ambition.

If successful, perhaps "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will really become one of the largest series IPs in the country.

Many people have tried it before, but almost all of them have failed.

Ding Letan is not the type of person who is overly naive.

But after reading the script of the first part of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", she really felt that it could work.

She had heard of Xu Kong's name a long time ago, but had never had the chance to meet him.

The main thing is that even when Xu Kong first joined the company, Feng Ge spent a considerable amount of money to buy him.

A newcomer with a bright future in the company.

As for her, she was already a marginal figure with little presence at that time.

Later, Xu Kong became more and more famous, and even became one of Fengge’s bosses, but it was still the same.

There has not been much change in Ding Ledan's life.

Until this meeting with Xu Kong.

……

Although in addition to Ding Ledan, there was also Liu Yue, the actor who played Hu Bayi, who was two years younger than her.

There is also Ge ​​Xiang, who plays Fatty Wang among the trio. He is the oldest among the three, but because he is fat, he does not look that old.

Ge Xiang was one of the talented actors that Movie Emperor Chen Shuang brought with him after he agreed to join Fengge with Xu Kong.

As for these three, just looking at their acting skills, Xu Kong had also watched some of the dramas they had starred in before.

It can be said that except for Liu Yue, the other two are definitely experienced and are the kind that people will hardly worry about.

As for Liu Yue, Xu Kong had filmed a movie with him before, so he certainly knew him better.

Although it may delay some progress, Liu Yue's personality is that he is willing to work hard and spend time. It can be said that the final results are satisfactory.

Moreover, the three of them are indeed quite close to the characters in terms of appearance.

Even Liu Yue, who was originally a bit delicate and fair-skinned, now looks more suitable after he transformed himself.

There was no problem with the casting, which solved Xu Kong's biggest concern.

As for the subsequent filming, Xu Kong will be in charge as the producer, so I don’t think there will be any problems.

In Xu Kong's opinion, this "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has already been half successful.

……

"You may have heard that we do plan to shoot eight episodes for this drama."

"Director Su Meng felt that she shouldn't tell you this news in advance. After all, it might mean that you will be inseparable from this drama in the future."

"The solidification of the role makes it difficult to transform or play other roles later..."

Although Xu Kong was talking about shortcomings.

But in fact, in the eyes of the three people at this time, it was not a big deal.

At the end of the day, having a character that is actually well-known to the audience may limit future developments.

But it is something that many actors dream of.

……

"But since this is a series, I still hope that you are all aware of our plans and intentions."

"The most important thing is that I will give you the scripts of all eight dramas. The complete plot and world view will help you better understand the characters."

"And you should have guessed it a little bit. This time, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" can be said to be our Fengge's most important project so far."

“The amount of money, personnel, and energy invested in the entire series, as well as the time span, can be said to be unique.”

"There's no need to explain what this means."

"I hope everyone can seize the opportunity."

……

After Xu Kong finished speaking, the three of them certainly had no objections.

Even Ding Ledan, who is the most Buddhist, seemed to have returned to the time when he was young and just started the industry. He felt unusually excited.
