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

Chapter 94 He Pulled, But Didn’t Move
Looking at Song Peiyu, whose face was filled with anger, he almost shouted at himself, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west."

Xu Kong couldn't help wanting to laugh.

After all, Song Peiyu debuted only two or three years earlier than him, and judging by his age, he is just a young man in his early twenties.

If you have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, you will know that it is very common for your resources to be snatched away by your peers.

This is a circle where the fittest survive, and coming to question people like this is really too childish.

To put it bluntly, if you are not good at it, just practice more!
As a top star, you may not have outstanding professional skills, but from the moment you debut, you must try your best to improve your own value.

Song Peiyu was probably criticized by many netizens online recently because of his poor performance in "Youth Travel".

"Song Peiyu!"

"Come back!"

Suddenly, voices were heard outside the door.

It was Song Peiyu's agent who came.

"but."

Song Peiyu wanted to say something but was interrupted by the other party.

"Did you hear me!"

Song Peiyu hesitated for two seconds, and finally glared at Xu Kong, then turned and left.

"Or, just give it to them. They are so pitiful."

Xu Kong looked at the two people who were leaving with sympathy.

Of course, he was just talking.

Although Xu Kong does not lack such an endorsement now, since he has already accepted it, there is no reason for him to regret it.

And deep down, Xu Kong has actually already adapted to the rules of the game in the entertainment industry.

You can sympathize with the other person's situation, but you definitely won't give up the meat that's right in your mouth.

"The release date of 'Fantasy Adventure' has been set for mid-November. The company should start promoting it soon."

Guo Zihao gave a reminder.

This "Fantasy Adventure" is the second drama of Fengqing Entertainment.

"I'll find time to talk to Mr. Yu."

Xu Kong was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.

“Not looking for a new company?”

Guo Zihao was stunned for a moment.

He clearly remembered that the last time on the plane, Xu Kong told him to prepare to find a new agency in advance.

"No need for now."

Xu Kong replied indifferently.

After a mental struggle last time, he decided to help Yu Yaqing and Fengqing Entertainment.

Yu Yaqing has worked hard for so many years to build Fengqing Entertainment to its current scale. If it were to be completely reduced to its original state, it would probably be difficult for the other party to accept it.

"How did you come?"

Yu Yaqing was a little surprised to see Xu Kong walking in.

"You must be busy recently, right?"

Yu Yaqing knew that the popularity of the show "Our Song" continued to rise after it was broadcast, so it was normal for Xu Kong, the best performing contestant, to receive more announcements.

"I'm not as busy as you, Mr. Yu."

Xu Kong walked to Yu Yaqing very naturally and started giving her a massage.

It can be seen that Yu Yaqing has been exhausted both physically and mentally recently, and fatigue is visible on her face.

"Okay, I'm not in the mood right now. I'll pamper you after I'm done with this busy period."

Holding down Xu Kong's hand as it was about to go deeper, Yu Yaqing stood up and kissed Xu Kong gently.

"Mr. Yu, I came here this time to tell you that I have finished writing the script for my second drama." Xu Kong sat opposite Yu Yaqing and said with a natural expression.

He knew very well that Yu Yaqing was obviously planning to invest most of the company's current cash into the subsequent promotion and marketing of "Fantasy Adventure".

There is no way. It is obviously impossible to stop Yu Yaqing's decision. The only way is to ask the other party for investment in her new drama.

In this way, Fengqing Entertainment can reduce its subsequent meaningless expenses.

Moreover, the revenue of "Want to See You" is so high that Yu Yaqing can't find any reason to refuse.

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Kong's words, Yu Yaqing fell into deep thought.

“What’s the budget for the new show?”

Xu Kong replied calmly: "As for the production cost, it's about 200 million."

Under such circumstances, even though Xu Kong currently has no specific ideas for the new drama, he still tries to get as much investment as possible from Yu Yaqing.

He had already prepared to bargain, but to Xu Kong's surprise, Yu Yaqing did not refuse.

Logically speaking, although the first part was unexpectedly successful, the investment in "Want to See You" was only 30 million yuan. It must be a bit risky to suddenly jump to a drama with a large investment of 200 million yuan.

"Wait another two months and polish the script a couple more times."

Although she did not refuse, Yu Yaqing did not agree directly either.

From here, Xu Kong could see that Fengqing Entertainment’s cash flow was probably insufficient.

In the future, it may only be able to support the publicity and promotion costs of the drama "Fantasy Adventure".

There is no way around it, even though Fengqing Entertainment is considered to be relatively large in the entertainment industry.

But this time, with two consecutive big-investment dramas, the production cost plus the publicity and promotion cost has invested at least 600 to 700 million yuan.

In addition, the company recruited a large number of employees from the film and television industry and signed a number of so-called powerful actors, almost all the cash in the company's account was spent.

Although Fengqing Entertainment earns a lot every year, its expenses are also huge.

Every year, the company's operating costs, including the expenses on marketing and publicity for artists including Xu Kong, are huge figures.

Not to mention, it’s impossible for a real artist to not get any money at all, right?
There are detailed proportions for the distribution of endorsements, performances, appearance fees, etc.

For top stars like Xu Kong, the share rate is generally around 40% to 50%.

After all, Fengqing Entertainment is not an industry giant like Fengge. It is already very powerful that it can launch two new dramas with large investments at one time.

"It's okay if it's a little less. We can first set up the crew and prepare for the filming."

Xu Kong changed his words.

I think any help I can get will help.

But Yu Yaqing still shook her head.

"As you know, the company's new drama is about to be released, so we don't have much spare money."

“We can only wait.”

"But don't worry, after 'The Fantasy Adventure' is over, I will definitely not reduce the investment in your new drama by a single cent."

After all, it was Xu Kong who was sitting in front of her. Otherwise, if it was someone else, she wouldn't even give such an explanation.

Yu Yaqing definitely trusts Xu Kong and is very tolerant of him.

Otherwise, although the drama "Want to See You" was only a low-budget drama with an investment of 30 million yuan, Xu Kong, who had no experience at all, would not have been allowed to direct and act in it himself.

Regardless of whether the success of "Want to See You" was due to the influence of various factors, Yu Yaqing recognized Xu Kong's ability.

Therefore, Yu Yaqing had originally planned to invest more in the second drama so that the other party could give full play to their talents.

But at this stage, it’s really not the right time.

"I see."

Xu Kong sighed helplessly in his heart, got up and left without saying anything more.

As for Fengqing Entertainment and Yu Yaqing, he pulled but failed.
