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

To Kang Zhishan, Xu Kong's importance indeed surpassed that of all the other artists at the party.

Including those so-called top stars and superstars.

Because he knew very well that with Xu Kong's joining, if nothing unexpected happened, this year's Tomato Channel's Spring Festival Gala would break the ratings record of recent years.

And more importantly, he had always believed that Xu Kong and Mango were in cahoots with each other because of the relationship with Wu Youxue's old man.

I will not choose to have any cooperation with them in the future.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

This is normal. After all, given Xu Kong's current identity, there is no possibility that he will be tied to a certain TV station or video platform.

Apart from anything else, it is definitely not in the interests of Fengge as a company.

Is it possible that something happened between Xu Kong and Wu Youxue that caused a rift in their relationship?
……

If Xu Kong heard Kang Zhishan's outrageous idea at this time, he would probably just want to laugh.

It's really a lot of imagination.

The reason for choosing Tomato TV was mainly because the live broadcast time of the Spring Festival Gala on Mango TV did not suit Xu Kong's ideas.

The first day of the new year was a little late.

As a promotional song for "Operation Red Sea", it must be released before the release.

Of course, apart from this, tomatoes are indeed a more suitable choice than the ocean, as Zhu Yu analyzed.

As for other local Spring Festival Galas, their influence is too low and they are not within the scope of consideration.

……

Afterwards, without much delay, with Kang Zhishan's full support, the two parties drafted a contract on the same day.

Kang Zhishan, the deputy director and person in charge of this year's Spring Festival Gala, also made a personal trip to Beijing.

But what made him feel regretful was that he didn't get to meet Xu Kong.

The agent Zhu Yu came forward to sign the contract.

Almost on the same night that the deal was finalized, Kang Zhishan couldn't wait to ask the people from Tomato TV to release the news.

Xu Kong will join them on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and this time he will bring a new song!
……

As soon as the news came out, it unsurprisingly directly became the number one hot search.

"Fuck, Xu Kong finally remembered his identity as a songwriter and singer?"

"Tomato TV is also very generous. They invited Xu Kong here without making any noise."

"New songs! I want to listen to new songs! Can you play the studio version first? I really can't wait until Chinese New Year's Eve."

Of course, netizens are overly enthusiastic.

The official Weibo account of Tomato TV usually has only two to three hundred comments, most of which are from fans of artists related to the Weibo content, doing data analysis and the like.

This time, the number of comments exceeded 50,000 in just a few hours.

The last time it was so lively was a few years ago when Tomato Channel was collectively attacked by the audience because of its poor variety shows and unreasonable rules.

……

"Xu Kong's traffic is still useful!"

Kang Zhishan had just returned to Shanghai and he began to read the relevant news on the Internet with great satisfaction.

Although they have done a lot of publicity before, compared to the Spring Festival Galas of other local TV stations, Mango TV has a deeper foundation, and even the hosts are more famous than theirs.

As for Ocean TV, it has a high level of attention thanks to its luxurious star lineup.

Only they, although also one of the three major local TV stations, seem to have little status.

Now that Xu Kong's name appeared, all those slutty bitches on the enemy station were suppressed immediately.

This feeling is so good!
Although Xu Kong's appearance fee is not cheap, it is indeed well worth the money.

……

"Director Wu!"

"What's going on? What happened?"

Wu Youxue looked at the director in charge of this year's Spring Festival Gala, who hurriedly walked into his office without even knocking on the door.

I couldn't help but feel a little angry:
"Can you be a little more steady?"

The director of Mango TV's Spring Festival Gala this year was promoted by Wu Youxue himself.

I was one of the assistant directors on his variety show.

His expression was a little bitter at this time.

How can I stay calm?

Xu Kong suddenly joined the Tomato TV's Spring Festival Gala and immediately snatched away all the related attention.

Although the broadcast times of the two Spring Festival Galas are different, it definitely has a significant impact.

……

"Director Wu, did you know that Xu Kong went to the Tomato Spring Festival Gala?"

Seeing that Wu Youxue remained calm throughout, he couldn't help but ask.

Wu Youxue nodded.

"I do know. Xu Kong told me."

The director was a little surprised and puzzled when he heard this.

"Since you know this, why did you let Xu Kong..."

Wu Youxue rolled his eyes at the other person.

"Xu Kong is not an artist of our Mango TV. Even if he is, do you think I can interfere with his decision?"

The director was speechless and couldn't find any words to refute.

Xu Kong today is indeed no longer a so-called ordinary artist.

"Besides, the time of our Spring Festival Gala didn't match his requirements, so we had no choice but to go to Fanqie in the end."

"He was mainly promoting Fengge's new movie during the Spring Festival."

……

After hearing Wu Youxue's explanation, the director became anxious.

"Then we can also promote it on the Mango Spring Festival Gala!"

"If it really doesn't work, we can even move the live broadcast time forward to the eve of the Chinese New Year!"

Wu Youxue was speechless at this time.

"Would you like to hear what you are saying?"

"The date on the first day of the Lunar New Year was set long ago. Do you know how big the impact will be if it is changed?"

The director didn't care at all.

"But it's better than letting Xu Kong go to the Tomato TV Spring Festival Gala!"

Wu Youxue fell silent.

……

In fact, what the other party said is right.

Mango can also change the time.

Although it may cause a lot more trouble, it is not impossible.

But he still didn't change.

Even though Xu Kong has made his needs clear and said that if Mango's Spring Festival Gala is also held on New Year's Eve, he will definitely consider participating in the Mango Spring Festival Gala first.

However, Wu Youxue thought about it and decided not to do so.

The main purpose, of course, was very clear to him. Because of his relationship with Xu Kong, Mango could be said to have benefited greatly from Xu Kong's rapid rise in recent years.

Including variety shows, Xu Kong almost only participates in those of Mango.

This kind of treatment is absolutely unique.

……

But in this situation, no one really considered how much impact Xu Kong's appearance in the enemy station would have on them.

That’s because he has never been a direct opponent of Xu Kong.

He thought that everyone under Mango should feel it.

Although the relationship between him and Xu Kong is still very good, what if one day Xu Kong really goes to the other side.

How to deal with it. After all, Xu Kong now represents not only himself, but also the interests of a company as big as Fengge.

These are all possible.

……

"Okay, don't be so surprised. If there is one more Xu Kong, will our station's Spring Festival Gala be cancelled?"

“Just follow the plan.”

When the director heard Wu Youxue say this, he could only nod and agree helplessly.

To put it simply, Wu Youxue is now the deputy director and the only leader who holds most of the real power of Mango TV.

Of course, I don’t care about the data of the Spring Festival Gala.

But as the director of Mango TV's Spring Festival Gala this year, he is responsible for the follow-up including ratings data, word of mouth and so on.

Everyone must bear direct responsibility.

In almost every year’s Spring Festival Gala, Mango TV’s ratings were not always ranked first, but most of the time they were firmly in first place.

Ocean TV has spent so much money this year, so the guest lineup is luxurious and the pressure is not small.

Now Tomato has another unreasonable supermodel named Xu Kong. This is the first time that he is in charge. Will he drop directly from the first place last year to the third place?

……

"New song? Xu Kong is finally remembering his identity as a songwriter and singer?"

"Then you don't know Xu Kong at all. I feel that Xu Kong's new song is most likely related to Fengge's film Operation Red Sea that will be released during the Spring Festival!"

At this time, in Feiniao's live broadcast room, he saw that the barrage was flooding the screen with comments about Xu Kong's participation in the Tomato TV Spring Festival Gala. He couldn't help but smile and told the truth.

Of course, he didn't get the news in advance, but guessed it himself.

But if you think about it, Xu Kong has almost not participated in any performances in the past year, and has not even appeared in various evening parties.

The sudden official announcement of participating in the Tomato TV Spring Festival Gala means that the most likely thing is that this new song is likely to be related to Fengge’s new movie which is about to be released.

"Of course, don't rush to scold."

"Although Xu Kong has indeed started to focus on the film and television industry since he became one of Fengge's bosses."

"It can't be helped. You can say Xu Kong's original intention as a musician is gone."

"But have you ever thought that Xu Kong never said that he would always be a singer? In fact, when "Want to See You" became popular, it was before Xu Kong's musical talent was recognized by everyone."

"That is to say, for Xu Kong, there is actually no so-called order of precedence between music and film and television."

"This guy probably shoots movies when he wants to, and writes songs when he wants to."

"And most importantly, if it was someone else, maybe people wouldn't have such high expectations for a new song promoting a movie."

"But why are you still looking forward to it now that you know the news?"

"It's just that Xu Kong has never played a song before. Even if it's a song to promote a movie, you don't think the quality will be low, right?"

"Then you obviously don't understand the fundamental reason why Xu Kong's new song became so popular as soon as the news came out."

……

Fei Niao's long analysis left many people in the live broadcast room speechless.

"Fuck! I thought Fatty had betrayed me, but I didn't expect that he was still bragging, just in a different way!"

"In fact, it is true. If it wasn't Xu Kong, but someone else, given that it is a work like a movie promotion song, not many people would care so much about it."

"You can't say that. Although Xu Kong hasn't performed, he has been producing new songs. Have you forgotten about Su Yuwei's new songs on "Masked Singer"?"

Fat Bird doesn't care about those who scold him.

Before, the live broadcast room often had a lot of problems, and it took a long time to deal with them, and in the end it became a mess.

After slowly adapting and getting used to it.

There's nothing we can do, it's because he's so popular now.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room is almost always over 10,000, and at its peak, it was not uncommon for the number to exceed 100,000.

With more people, these rhythms and black fans will naturally come.

By making good use of the mute and blacklist functions, it becomes almost effortless to handle.

……

"But I'm not sure what type of song Xu Kong is singing this time."

"I'm actually looking forward to seeing some styles of music that Sora hasn't shown before."

Feiniao is now very familiar with riding on Xu Kong's popularity.

The most important thing is that he might be scolded or even face lawsuit from the artist's company for trying to take advantage of the artist's popularity.

But now, even many so-called first- and second-tier singers pay him to listen to their new songs and help promote them.

All I can say is that the wind has turned for the better.

But Xu Kong is another special existence.

Because Feiniao’s identity as the Internet’s top boss has now been completely confirmed.

He didn't think it was a bad thing at all.

In addition to praising Xu Kong frequently, he would occasionally take out photos with Xu Kong, his autograph, and the most invincible friend of Xu Kong.

It is enough to make many netizens envious.

Of course, after it became a regular program, everyone discovered that Feiniao didn’t actually have much private communication with Xu Kong.

Every time I look through it, the chat history is always empty.

The initial effect of showing off gradually disappeared.

……

"Isn't the anchor a friend of Xu Kong?"

"Why don't you just send him a message and ask him if the new song is a movie promotion song, and what the style and type of the song is."

Some people in the barrage couldn't help but stir up the fat bird.

The fat bird was really tempted.

But he still held back, mainly because he was afraid that after sending the message, he would see the conspicuous red exclamation mark.

Or maybe Xu Kong had forgotten that he had good friends before.

Remember it after the other party sees the message you sent.

Oh, I haven’t deleted this guy yet?

Then just delete it casually.

That would really be more of a loss than a gain.

……

"Xu Kong must be very busy, so don't disturb him."

Fat Bird smiled somewhat awkwardly.

As expected, the screen was soon filled with mockery.

No matter how thick-skinned Fat Bird was, he couldn't help blushing at this moment.

"Just send it!"

With a ruthless heart, Fei Niao edited a long paragraph, then closed his eyes and clicked the send button.

Of course, in order to save face, he would definitely not show his phone to the people in the live broadcast room.

……

After a while, the fat bird took a look.

The good news is that he has not been blocked.

The better news is that Xu Kong actually replied to him? ! !
The fat bird couldn't wait to start showing off in front of the live camera.

"Xu Kong is back!"

Feiniao himself was a little surprised, and the barrage of comments was filled with question marks.

"really?"

"Ah? Is the anchor really that talented?"

"No buddy, you really went to ask Xu Kong himself?"

Fat Bird no longer had the shock he had just had, but instead looked calm. It was obvious that he was being tricked again.
