Chapter 9 Leave a day for Song Youyou
When Xu Kong woke up, it was already the morning of the next day.
He was woken up by Yu Yaqing. Although he didn't say anything, the extra breakfast proved that Mr. Yu, the boss, was still very considerate of his subordinates.
"Actually, I know some things about the hip-hop program group this time."
"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would feel pressured."
"Fortunately, you surprised me. You actually wrote a new song that even our company's music director was a little shocked."
"I've already made it up to you, you won't blame me, right?"
Yu Yaqing said in a rare coquettish tone.
"How could that happen?"
"I listen to the company on everything."
"Boss, I will do whatever you arrange."
Xu Kong looked honest and courteous, with a shy smile.
But my heart was not moved at all.
Of course he knew that the kind of treatment he would receive if he participated in a hip-hop show was most likely tacitly approved by Yu Yaqing from Fengqing Entertainment.
To put it harshly, if he hadn't sang "Best Bad Friend" this time, he would have become the target of ridicule on the Internet.
Yu Yaqing acquiesced in letting Xu Kong become a victim of the cooperation with Qiuguo. It was not even a victim. At most, it was just a tool for Fengqing Entertainment to show its goodwill.
Of course, Xu Kong can also understand Yu Yaqing's thoughts.
He didn't have a very good reputation among the public at first. He was often ridiculed by Ren Yicheng when he appeared on the show. As long as he spent some money on marketing later, it would not affect his base of fans.
The following endorsements will be accepted as well, and the advertising fee will not be less.
As long as Xu Kong is not exposed to some real black material, he will still be the top player who can make Fengqing Entertainment happily cut leeks.
He didn't feel that he could get on and off Yu Yaqing's soft big bed at will, and the other party really cared about him, a newcomer to the company.
After his vacation ended, Xu Kong started to be busy again.
The most important thing is the commercial shooting with Huayi.
Xu Kong was inevitably looking forward to it.
It’s not that he’s looking forward to filming an advertisement. As for Huayi’s endorsement this time, he is just a tool and doesn’t have much decision-making power.
It's because this advertisement was shot in Beijing.
It happened that Song Youyou was filming a new movie in Beijing, and he and Song Youyou had been chatting during this time.
From time to time, the other party would send him two artistic photos that even fans of National First Love could not imagine.
Even Xu Kong had to sigh that Youyou had some talent.
This does not refer to the other person's acting talent.
Xu Kong is willing to call Song Youyou the ancient Greek god of contrast.
She is so understanding, and with her innocent and lovely face, it is impossible to resist her.
Xu Kong swore that he had not been taught anything. This was self-taught.
"We are going to Beijing this afternoon. On the 20th and 21st, there will be an advertising shoot for Huayi. On the afternoon of the 22nd, there will be a commercial performance at the music festival. There will also be a variety show on the 23rd. You will be a flying guest."
On the plane, Guo Zihao, who was sitting next to Xu Kong in the business class, was talking about his specific itinerary to the capital.
As a top traveler, the schedule is indeed very full.
Including some netizens, they don’t understand how most of the top celebrities still have time to do all kinds of things when they are so busy, and then the house collapses.
But in fact, the busier you are and the more tired you are, the more you need various stimulations to lift your spirits. In this regard, ahem, Xu Kong is relatively experienced.
In his previous life, as a time management instructor, he had to squeeze out a few hours a day to relax, no matter how full his schedule was.
But now that he has traveled through time, Xu Kong still doesn't want to make himself so tired.
"The performance at the music festival should be postponed. I have some personal matters on the 22nd."
Guo Zihao was stunned for a moment. He was about to say something, but when he saw that Xu Kong had closed his eyes, he could only say helplessly:
"Okay, I'll make arrangements."
"Just say to the outside world that you are not feeling well."
Song Youyou had been talking about it for so long, but out of concern, Xu Kong still felt that he needed to leave a day for him.
The hotel environment arranged by Huayi is quite good, five-star, and even Xu Kong's assistant has a separate room. It shows the high-end luxury brand's style of not lacking money.
However, this does not prevent Xu Kong from still not liking filming commercials because it is very tiring.
It looks like it's just a few commercials that last just over a minute, but it still took two days to shoot.
In addition to advertisements, there are also various promotional posters.
Xu Kong arrived at the shooting location early in the morning and spent four or five hours just doing makeup and styling.
It has nothing to do with Xu Kong's own appearance. A luxury clothing brand like Huayi has strict requirements on all kinds of details on its spokespersons.
The clothes are the other party's new styles this season, and the suit Xu Kong wears is specially customized.
For a long period of time, Xu Kong had to wear Huayi clothes when attending various events and public occasions.
Of course, although he was tired, Xu Kong was very cooperative throughout the process.
In this regard, he is relatively professional.
It was the same in the last life, there was almost no such thing as being a big name.
After all, Xu Kong knew very well that compared to the makeup artists and other ordinary staff on site, he was already relatively relaxed.
There are assistants around him serving tea and water, and the brand will also care about whether he is satisfied with the temperature of the air conditioner in the lounge. When the photographer was taking pictures, he would praise him in different ways throughout the process (although he was talking about truth).
Compared with his income from this endorsement, these are actually nothing.
Part of it is due to Xu Kong's most basic professional habits as a top-notch person.
Even if there are no cameras facing you, you still need to maintain your own personality at all times, such as being approachable, easy to get along with, and having no airs.
There is a high probability that Huayi’s staff will not disclose some details of the shooting, but these are habits that have been developed over a long period of time.
No one can predict whether there will be an accident.
But if there is really a so-called "insider" who broke the news, it is because such inconspicuous things can make his image in the eyes of fans more impeccable.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Xu Kong!"
"Everyone has worked hard. Let's get here today. We will add some shots tomorrow."
I stayed in the studio until eight o'clock in the evening, and finally officially called it a day.
I had met Xu Kong before, and the senior Huayi executive who obviously had thoughts about him did not come.
Almost all of them were employees of Huayi's own film and television team. The entire filming process was relatively smooth. Xu Kong, a top performer, did not encounter any situations where he was ridiculed or said bad things to his face.
Even if someone really looked down on a traffic star like him, they wouldn't be so stupid as to say it to his face.
Many times, in fact, as a traffic star, although his reputation among online passers-by is not very good, most people in the circle have to respectfully call him "teacher" when he meets him.
Strictly speaking, the hip-hop opportunity for Xu Kong to show off and slap him in the face is rare in the entertainment industry.
