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

Perhaps it’s because there are other happy events besides the Chinese New Year.

The New Year’s Eve dinner prepared by Lin Hong was also exceptionally sumptuous.

She and Song Fuquan didn't plan to have a wedding in the short term.

The main reason is that both of them are at this age and actually don’t care much about these formal things.

In addition, the identities of the two are not ordinary middle-aged men and women.

If we really want to hold a banquet, I guess it would not be an easy task just to prepare the invitation list and all other aspects.

However, at Youyou's suggestion, the two decided to wait until after the New Year to take a set of wedding photos together.

……

In fact, the happiest person was Youyou herself.

She is the person who most supports her father and Lin Hong to get married.

Although I always call Linhong "Sister Hong".

But as someone who brought her up since she was a child, and as someone who has seen Youyou always being afraid of Linhong.

In fact, there is no need to explain the relationship between the two.

Of course, Xu Kong didn't have much say in this matter.

After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner honestly, I prepared to go back.

……

"It's so late, why don't you just sleep here today, Xiao Xu?"

"Besides, the Spring Festival Gala hasn't even started yet. You're leaving early. That's definitely not okay."

Song Fuquan tried to persuade him to stay.

In fact, compared to spending the night at the Song family, Xu Kong wanted to go back to his own residence.

After all, at this time, you definitely can't do anything you want to do.

Plus, there’s a high chance that Youyou will deliberately provoke him.

The end result was that this night was destined to be a difficult one.

……

"Brother Xu Kong, please stay here."

Song Youyou also spoke up

Lin Hong, on the other hand, behaved relatively calmly.

Although he didn't object, he didn't take the initiative to help keep him.

"Operation Red Sea will be released tomorrow."

"I still have to go back."

Xu Kong finally declined.

Under Youyou's slightly resentful gaze, he left under pressure.

……

Of course, the original plan was to go home.

But after thinking about it, I still called Shang Yuxin.

Last year, Xu Kong went to Sister Yu's house to spend the night.

In addition, Shang Yuxin has not been home for the New Year for a long time.

In previous years, I always spent the New Year alone in Beijing.

Originally, Shang Yuxin used her full schedule of announcements to make herself forget about the holiday most of the time.

But this year, for various reasons, the party I had originally planned to attend was postponed to after the New Year, so I had to stay at home alone.

……

When Xu Kong went there, he bought some hot pot ingredients.

Although I don’t know if Shang Yuxin has eaten anything.

But it's always better to be prepared.

"How did you come?"

When Shang Yuxin opened the door and saw Xu Kong, she was obviously stunned for a moment.

She knew that Xu Kong was going to Song Youyou's house to celebrate the New Year today.

I found out about this when I went to see Xu Kong last time, I overheard the conversation between him and Song Youyou.

Of course, she actually knew about the relationship between Xu Kong and Song Youyou a long time ago.

Strictly speaking, I got into this voluntarily.

Although he must have felt a little disappointed, he did not complain and even pretended not to know.

She didn't take the initiative to ask Xu Kong to accompany her on New Year's Eve.

……

"Have you eaten?"

This was not the first time Xu Kong came to Shang Yuxin's residence.

In fact, compared with many artists of her size, Shang Yuxin's residence is not bad, but it cannot be called luxurious either.

Even the decoration of the house is quite ordinary.

However, compared to Zhu Yu's home, which has obvious signs of life and a sense of fireworks, Shang Yuxin's home is more deserted.

After all, she couldn't stay at home most of the time.

I may only be at home for one or two months at most in a year.

……

"just eaten."

"But I still want to eat some more."

Shang Yuxin saw what Xu Kong was holding and said with a smile.

Xu Kong’s cooking skills are truly hard to describe.

Fortunately, hot pot doesn’t require much skill.

Of course Xu Kong ate at the Song family, but he also left some food in his stomach on purpose.

I can eat something with Shang Yuxin.

……

Shang Yuxin was rarely seen without makeup, completely bare-faced.

In fact, even after she and Xu Kong had made substantial progress, she still would not let down her guard like this.

Now, the longer I spend with Xu Kong.

She also gradually realized her own needs.

Compared to her who had tried almost every possible means to obtain resources at the beginning.

Shang Yuxin's thoughts have now completely turned around.

I can’t say that I have no desires, but I almost just let things take their course.

Including all the things she knew about Xu Kong, such as Song Youyou, Su Zhi...

Shang Yuxin didn't care either.

Even a little relieved.

If it weren't for this being Xu Kong's rare weakness.

The other party might really not even bother to look at her.

Not to mention that the relationship could become what it is now.

From this point of view, Shang Yuxin is very content.

……

After eating and drinking, the two of them leaned back on the sofa and started watching the Spring Festival Gala.

However, Xu Kong couldn't help but feel a little distracted at this time.

In fact, if Shang Yuxin really uses her previous methods, it can be said that the effect will definitely be significant.

After all, just a glance from the other person is enough to make people dizzy.

But today, Shang Yuxin looks like a little girl.

She no longer had the charm she once had.

But it is this uniqueness that makes Xu Kong himself feel different.

……

It’s just a very warm atmosphere like this now.

Xu Kong felt that if he made any unnecessary movements, it would spoil the mood.

While he was still struggling, it was obvious that Shang Yuxin understood him better than he did.

While he seemed to be focusing on the Spring Festival Gala on TV, his hands had already started moving.

As she seemed to be doing two things at once, Xu Kong became more and more troubled.

After feeling the familiar scale, Shang Yuxin began to roll up her hair very skillfully.

At the same time, although her vision became worse because she lowered her head, she still kept her eyes on the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

……

The annual New Year countdown segment of the Spring Festival Gala has not yet arrived.

But at this time, Shang Yuxin had already taken the time to count down.

"five four three two one……"

The time was up, but nothing had changed. Shang Yuxin couldn't help but slow down her movements.

Very helpless.

Obviously, although Xu Kong was the first to use this trick, she was just planning to retaliate at this moment.

But in fact, the fighting power of the two is not at the same level at all.

So it was totally different from what she expected.

……

Before, every time Xu Kong counted down, she almost never made it to the end.

Every time I would surrender when I counted to five or six.

Sometimes, he would even give it away for free as soon as he heard Xu Kong start counting down.

But now that it's her turn, this approach seems to be completely useless.

Suddenly I felt a sense of frustration.

At this time, Xu Kong took the initiative to speak:
"Time is running out."

She felt even more powerless.

So I just gave up.

The initiative was returned to Xu Kong.

……

As a result, within less than a minute after handing over the power, Shang Yuxin was completely defeated.

Xu Kong wondered if it was because he had gone a little too far before.

As a result, Shang Yuxin couldn't hold back her emotions every time she got excited.

Of course, Xu Kong gradually got used to it.

Strictly speaking, Shang Yuxin, who felt too embarrassed before, would feel ashamed to hold her head up.

But now, it doesn’t matter at all.

Anyway, it’s all Xu Kong’s fault, it has nothing to do with me.

However, the culprit at this time obviously had no intention of letting her go.

After all, this is her second fight, and Xu Kong is still fighting the first fight.

……

Shang Yuxin will probably not forget today’s Spring Festival.

But I am also celebrating that I have no activities or announcements during the New Year holidays.

She thought about it carefully and realized that she had been in the company's empty office most of the time before.

Obviously, due to venue limitations, this was a good thing for her.

Is Xu Kong, who has completely let go this time, in his true complete form?

Some are just too scary.

She thought about it carefully. Although Xu Kong went to Song Youyou's house first, it might be because Director Song was there.

So Youyou, who treated her as her best friend, was unable to help her share the firepower.

Of course, what she didn't know was that not only was the firepower not shared.

Instead, Youyou was the culprit who added fuel to the fire.

……

On the first day of the New Year, Xu Kong slept until noon.

Obviously, I missed the premiere of "Operation Red Sea".

Glancing at Shang Lucha who was still sleeping, Xu Kong did not wake her up. He quietly packed up his things and left.

I opened Weibo and took a look, only to find that the hot searches at this time were almost all occupied by the movies released during the Spring Festival.

As for the number one hot search term, Xu Kong was also a little surprised when he saw it.

How does it have anything to do with me?

#Xu Kong starts to use knives again!!!#
Obviously, this is referring to "Operation Red Sea" which was released today.

"I'm just the screenwriter this time, can you blame me?"

Xu Kong said a little helplessly.

Sometimes, being too famous is not a good thing.

If it were any other screenwriter, it would definitely be impossible for them to become the center of public opinion.

……

Xu Kong opened it and took a look at the comment section.

"To be honest, watching a movie like this during the Chinese New Year is not a good choice, but at the same time, if you watch it, you will definitely not regret it."

“The war scenes are very realistic and shocking at the same time. Although the literary scenes are few, they are equally moving.”

"In fact, there is no deliberate sensationalism, but it is this calmer narrative that can touch people's hearts more."

The vast majority of the scenes in "Operation Red Sea" are focused on war and military issues.

But at the same time, the drama did not lag behind.

Especially the sacrifice of several Jiaolong special forces members is very tear-jerking.

Of course Xu Kong did not deliberately get the haircut, it was just because of some of his previous dramas that the audience had a deep misunderstanding of him.

……

However, seeing that most of the reviews were positive, Xu Kong felt a little relieved.

Let’s not talk about the box office for now, but Xu Kong still needs to pay attention to word of mouth.

In addition to whether he will fail, there is also the subsequent box office battle during the Spring Festival period, and word of mouth is the most critical.

"In terms of the current real-time box office, we are leading with 1.6 million. We should be able to break 3 million on the first day. After all, we haven't reached the peak of the box office explosion in the evening yet."

Arriving at the deserted Fengge headquarters, Yan Rui began to report after seeing Xu Kong.

"In addition, the second place is Han Xinyan's comedy "Dragon Tiger Laughing Legend", which has also reached 1.5 million box office so far."

"They are fighting very hard, and it is still hard to say who will be the box office champion on the first day."

"The third is Tang Hanying's "Fear Is Hope", which has also made over 1.2 million yuan, but it's only million yuan. It's unlikely to catch up before tonight."

……

After Han Rui finished speaking, he subconsciously observed Xu Kong's reaction.

To be honest, their "Operation Red Sea" currently has a great advantage.

First of all, it is leading the box office, which is closely related to the various previous publicity and promotions, including Xu Kong’s promotional song.

In addition, the reputation is also pretty good.

At least there is no so-called situation where the reputation will plummet and the single-day box office will drop sharply.

But the other two opponents are not weak at all.

Let’s not talk about the reputation for now. Although it can’t catch up with "Operation Red Sea", it has not reached the point where it was criticized and criticized by the entire Internet.

More importantly, a comedy or a family-friendly drama both have obvious advantages during the Spring Festival.

Obviously, both directors, at least commercially, are quite clear about what kind of movies they should make.

Even though we are temporarily ahead at this moment, the final result is still uncertain.

……

However, Yan Rui at this time discovered that Xu Kong didn't seem to be too worried at all.

Even a little too calm.

He always felt that in Xu Kong's plan, "Operation Red Sea" was aiming to be the Spring Festival champion.

Otherwise, with such a huge investment, the final quality of the film is also there.

Except that it was not directed by Xu Kong himself, it can be said that all aspects were perfect.

No matter which period it is released in, it is a blockbuster movie that will definitely take first place in the same period.

It’s just that being released during the Spring Festival does have some inherent disadvantages.

……

"Wait, Director Xu, the official account has reposted our movie trailer!"

Yan Rui saw the dynamics on his phone at this time and couldn't help but speak.

This is the biggest advantage of being the only main-theme movie during the Spring Festival.

At least other competitors of the same period did not receive this treatment.

Of course, although "Operation Red Sea" is the main theme, it did not really suck commercially.

If it's not good, even if it has good reputation and official support, the ticket money is ultimately in the hands of the audience, and that cannot be changed.

This is the biggest problem at the moment. After all, the theme of the film is heavy, which can easily discourage many viewers.

Especially during the Chinese New Year.

……

"Don't be surprised."

“There’s no need to keep an eye on the real-time box office.”

Xu Kong spoke up to remind him.

To be honest, he felt that Yan Rui cared more about him than he did.

He already has a rough prediction of the final box office of "Operation Red Sea".

In fact, Xu Kong doesn't really care that much about the title of Spring Festival box office champion.
