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

Chapter 78: Turning against guests
Wu Youxue has had experience in numerous variety shows over the years since he entered the industry.

As a music variety show, providing a good stage and ensuring the quality of singers' performances are just the basis. The real key is the so-called hot spots and program effects.

For example, the recently popular "Singer". If there hadn't been the hype about the live broadcast, the singers' failures, and the battle between European and American singers in the Chinese music scene, these series of hot topics might not have been so popular.

The same is true this time.

It is not easy to do well in a program that consists entirely of original songs and singer-songwriters.

When he first had this idea, Wu Youxue was still hesitant because he couldn't find a suitable entry point.

Unless all the new songs in the show are of such high quality that they become hit singles, it will be difficult for this show to become popular by creating topics and hype.

Until Xu Kong appeared and sang for Su Zhi for the first time on the stage of "Singer".

He knew that Xu Kong was the best candidate and the key to the success of his new show.

As for now, he is even more certain of this idea. Except for Xu Kong, no other top star or singer-songwriter can do it.

With the explosion of "Want to See You", Xu Kong's popularity can now be said to be almost the highest among the top stars in the domestic entertainment industry.

Apart from that, Xu Kong really has some real talent and knowledge, and there is no need for them to deliberately package or falsify it.

As for why Wu Youxue was so confident at this moment, it was because he felt that he had already guessed the psychology of this young man Xu Kong.

If it were any top star in the domestic entertainment industry, it would be unlikely that they would agree to the script he came up with. Although it looks glamorous, it could easily go wrong if one is not careful. A show would ruin one's own personality, reputation, and popularity among the public. It is really not worth it.

But Xu Kong is different. Although Fengqing Entertainment may not agree to his proposal, he is sure that the other party will cooperate with him.

Not for any other reason, but because he could see that Xu Kong was different from other idols.

From the time he started to take out original songs he had written and insisted on writing, directing and acting in the play "Want to See You", it can be seen that Xu Kong is obviously not satisfied with his position as a traffic star.

Although following their script would destroy Xu Kong's original image, as the saying goes, "there is no construction without destruction", this is also an opportunity for Xu Kong. If all goes well, after this, Xu Kong may be able to become a so-called powerful singer.

The key is that Xu Kong himself must have confidence. Judging from the few times he has come into contact with the other party, the thing that this young man Xu Kong lacks the least is confidence.

"I reject."

The smile on Wu Youxue's face froze.

He was so confident that he didn't expect Xu Kong's answer to be so firm, without any hesitation.

"If you are worried about your own company, what I just said is just a private agreement between the two of us. I will not write it into the contract."

Wu Youxue added.

But Xu Kong still shook his head.

In fact, Wu Youxue's so-called letting him play the role of the big devil in the show was no big deal to Xu Kong.

In other words, although some of Xu Kong’s habits as a top star have not changed, his mentality has long been different.

Otherwise, he would not have said those words at the opening ceremony of "Want to See You" that sounded overly arrogant and hateful, leading to being ridiculed by the entire network.

As it turns out, after "Want to See You" was officially broadcast, no one questioned anything anymore.

Even if it was mentioned casually, everyone felt that Xu Kong was not bragging.

What really made him reject the show was not the variety show script proposed by Wu Youxue, but Wu Youxue's attitude.

During his many years as a top star, he has performed on many variety shows in accordance with the scripts of the production team.

Although I feel a little disgusted, there is nothing I can do. If he doesn't cooperate, there are other stars who are willing to cooperate.

But now, Xu Kong doesn't want to continue to act as a puppet tool of these program teams.

"Director Wu, what do you think is more important to me, a top-tier personality or the reputation of the work?" Xu Kong's sudden and somewhat strange question made Wu Youxue stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Kong couldn't help but complain helplessly in his heart: "Director Wu, your lines are wrong!"

But he immediately answered his own question: "They are all important."

"But why can't I have both?"

Wu Youxue:?

In the next ten minutes, Xu Kong told Wu Youxue his thoughts in great detail.

To put it simply, although he is unwilling to cooperate with the script, the other contestants on the show are definitely willing to do so.

In that case, why not change the script to show that everyone is dissatisfied with him as a traffic star, and let the contestants target him in various ways on the show.

As for Xu Kong, he will still maintain his humble and polite personality.
After hearing Xu Kong's suggestion, Wu Youxue looked at him with a complicated look.

What the hell is this! He originally came to persuade Xu Kong to cooperate with the variety show script he had in mind.

As a result, Xu Kong himself said that he would not cooperate, but he still wanted to participate.

He also taught him as a director how to change the script. Although it seemed that other contestants were working together to beat Xu Kong's script, he directly cleared himself of the responsibility.

From the originally annoying and arrogant image, he has become a harmless, talented and quite humble likable person.

Eat and take, take all the benefits
But Wu Youxue had to admit that according to Xu Kong's idea, the program effect would not be bad.

However, the variety show script that originally required Xu Kong's cooperation has now become a program that requires all other contestants to participate except Xu Kong.

"If it's what you said, why should I choose you?"

"There is no shortage of traffic stars in the entire domestic entertainment industry"

Wu Youxue couldn't help but speak.

But Xu Kong seemed to have been prepared and said directly what he was thinking.

"Director Wu, please stop deceiving yourself. Apart from me, can the other top stars in the domestic entertainment industry meet your requirements?"

"You don't want the show to be a mess, without even a single hit song, right?"

"And are my peers half as popular as I am right now?"

Xu Kong's words sounded really crazy.

But Wu Youxue had to admit that this was the fact.

Apart from Xu Kong, few of the current so-called top stars have real talents. Not to mention writing their own songs, they can't even sing them clearly.

Moreover, the popularity of the drama "Want to See You" is so high at the moment that it is no exaggeration to say that Xu Kong's popularity surpasses that of his peers.

Without Xu Kong joining, Wu Youxue’s confidence in the success of this new variety show can be said to have been lost by half.

"I need to think about it more carefully."

Wu Youxue finally compromised.

He didn't expect that when he came to Xu Kong with full confidence, he was turned over by the other party.
