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

Chapter 92: Go it alone or find another client?
the next morning.

Although this is not the first time this has happened, Song Youyou’s favorite thing is this kind of surprise attack.

But it is rare to see Su Zhi being so proactive.

As if she noticed that Xu Kong had woken up, Su Zhi looked up at him and then tucked her hanging hair behind her ears.

"You continue to sleep. I have a flight this morning and I'm in a hurry."

Su Zhi said to herself.

Xu Kong was full of helplessness. How could he continue to sleep?

I felt like Su Zhi was treating me like a buffet.

This time, Xu Kong knew what to do without Su Zhi's reminder.

"Snapped!"

A conspicuous red mark appeared on the fair skin.

Su Zhi seemed really busy. She took a shower, kissed Xu Kong lightly, and then left in a hurry.

Xu Kong was left with nothing to do and slept until noon.

It was not until Guo Zihao called that Xu Kong checked out and left.

After not staying in Xingcheng for too long and shooting some additional shots for the production crew of "Our Song", Xu Kong boarded a plane back to Hangzhou.

"It's being rumored that our company's losses this time have reached at least 300 million."

This time, Guo Zihao did not gloat over other people's misfortune, but instead announced the news with a serious expression.

"guessed."

Xu Kong sighed.

The production cost of the entire drama "Young Wanderer" is at least over 200 million.

Adding the almost overwhelming publicity and promotion before the broadcast, the cost is close to more than 300 million or 400 million.

After the show was aired, except for the first day’s impressive data, the subsequent collapse of word-of-mouth meant that the total number of views for the entire show is estimated to not even reach one billion.

Almost three quarters of the series have been aired so far, but the number of views is just over 800 million, so losses are inevitable.

However, even Xu Kong did not expect that the final cost recovered would be less than 100 million.

This is enough to show how strict the gambling agreement between Fengqing Entertainment and Kiwi is.

But think about it, although Fengqing Entertainment is not a small company, it has no experience in film and television production. It is definitely not so easy to get Kiwi's exclusive cooperation agreement.

"My vitality is seriously damaged!"

"Many senior executives' salaries have been reduced recently, including mine."

Guo Zihao said with some emotion.

However, as Xu Kong's agent, his main source of income is actually his share of Xu Kong's announcement fees, so it will not have much impact.

"What's Mr. Yu's plan?"

Xu Kong frowned and asked.

Yu Yaqing told him almost nothing about Fengqing Entertainment's decision, and Xu Kong actually didn't have much detailed knowledge about Fengqing Entertainment's crisis this time.

“It all depends on the next show.”

"If our company's second drama fails to meet previous expectations, or even fails completely like "Youth Travel"."

Guo Zihao hesitated for a while before continuing:
"Then what we need to consider next is changing your agency."

This is obviously not what Guo Zihao and Xu Kong want to see.

In particular, Xu Kong himself knew very well that he had worked in three different brokerage companies in his previous life.

They are all very large in the entertainment industry.

But without exception, as artists, they are all the ones who are madly sucked dry by the companies.

And he himself doesn't actually have much decision-making power.

This is even though he has been famous for a long time.

To put it nicely, it is a top-tier brand, but to put it bluntly, it is actually no different from a so-called commodity.

Including personal packaging and business schedule, there is almost no autonomy at all.

Therefore, Xu Kong knew that Yu Yaqing had already given him a lot of privileges. If he were in another company, he might not be able to have such a relaxed environment.

"Why don't you go and persuade Mr. Yu."

Guo Zihao couldn't help but say something.

From the current looks, Yu Yaqing is preparing to bet on the company's second drama.

There is nothing wrong with this idea. After all, if the second drama becomes a hit, not only will Fengqing Entertainment be able to completely reverse its current situation, but it will also be considered to have officially entered the film and television industry.

It is said that the investment in the promotion of the second part is even higher than that of the previous "Young Wanderer".

"it's useless."

Xu Kong shook his head.

After half a year of contact with Yu Yaqing after the time travel, Xu Kong also understood Yu Yaqing's personality.

It can be seen from every in-depth communication between the two that Yu Yaqing always takes the absolute initiative and accepts Xu Kong's "service".

The other party is a strong career woman who is very strong and has her own opinions.

If she had really listened to Xu Kong's advice, Yu Yaqing would not have ignored it the previous few times when Xu Kong raised it.

"Start looking for a new agency."

Although it sounds a bit cruel, Xu Kong himself remains pessimistic about the future of Fengqing Entertainment.

Fengqing Entertainment's second drama is a fantasy drama. Although the leading actor is a movie star in his thirties whose acting skills are publicly recognized, the script adapted from a novel has too many risks.

Xu Kong has not read the original novel, and as for the script, there are many flaws in the plot.

In fact, until just now, Xu Kong had never thought about changing companies in a short period of time.

He still has more than five years left on his contract with Fengqing Entertainment.

The artist contract that Yu Yaqing gave him was not top-notch, but it did treat him differently from other artists in the company.

What's more, he and Yu Yaqing have a relationship where you know each other's strengths and weaknesses.

It is true that Xu Kong is a realistic person, and he has seen too many cruel and cruel things in the entertainment industry where people turn against each other because of interests.

But strictly speaking, he is still a very sentimental person.

After returning to Hangzhou, Xu Kong did not go to the company, but went directly back to his residence.

Although I realized it before, I didn’t think about it too much.

He even subconsciously decided that if the first drama failed, Yu Yaqing would be cautious and would not be so aggressive in subsequent publicity and promotion.

But now it seems that this is a plan to go down this path to the end.

If it doesn't work, just do it on your own.

Xu Kong was in a state of hesitation. If he made the worst-case scenario, Fengqing Entertainment would be heavily in debt or even go bankrupt.

With his current popularity and fame, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to set up his own company.

What's more, "Want to See You" received more than 100 million yuan in distribution, plus various previous deposits, the start-up capital is definitely enough.

The experience Xu Kong accumulated in his previous life was enough to give him a certain degree of confidence.

But this is not a simple matter after all. In the entertainment industry, there are often so-called factions and camps, and there are many underlying rules.

He currently has no so-called connections in the circle.

If we really want to do it ourselves, our resources will definitely be greatly reduced in the short term.

Strictly speaking, it is more cost-effective to choose a large company to negotiate terms and sign a contract.

"Forget it, the company hasn't closed down yet."

Xu Kong shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

Even if the second drama still suffers heavy losses and Fengqing Entertainment is seriously damaged or even in debt, it will not really go bankrupt.

It would have been too heartless for him to leave at that time.

If it really doesn't work, there's nothing wrong with helping Yu Yaqing.

It looks like the originally planned second drama really needs to be put on the agenda.
