Chapter 12 The youngest diva in domestic entertainment
"How was it?"
—“How about what?”
Guo Zihao had a curious expression.
"You and Song Youyou!"
"Is it done?"
Xu Kong shook his head and said nothing.
"Don't worry, she is the nation's first love after all. It would be strange if she is so easy to chase."
Hearing Guo Zihao's comfort, Xu Kong didn't know what to say for a while.
When he left Song Youyou's crew, he was almost covered in cold sweat.
If he hadn't calmed her down in the end, I would have been a little afraid that Song Youyou would suddenly reveal their relationship directly on Weibo one day.
But even so, this is still a hidden bomb.
Xu Kong decided to try to avoid meeting Song Youyou in the future.
The other person is young and ignorant, so he may fall in love with someone else someday. This is the best outcome.
Xu Kong still couldn't stand the passionate love of a girl.
"This is the script for the variety show to be recorded tomorrow."
"If you take a closer look, the guest lineup is quite strong. Don't say the wrong thing then."
Before Guo Zihao left, he handed Xu Kong a paper document.
"Celebrity Forum" is an interview variety show that invites some celebrities in the industry to participate. Everyone sits together to eat and drink and talk about some so-called insider secrets, but most of them are designed by the program team. Script.
The stars and the show crew know what really shouldn't be said.
The same goes for Xu Kong. His script has almost no big breaking points.
Including the colleagues who complained on the show, they were all fabricated. They were topical enough that the gossip media might make wild guesses, but they were not named, so no one would take issue with them.
It's relatively friendly.
Xu Kong's debut was a bit short and his foundation is not solid.
But there is also an advantage, that is, it is not so easy for the character to collapse, and people will not find too much black material that can have a huge impact on him.
The only thing that gets the most complaints is his lack of professional skills.
After taking a look at the guest list of this show, Xu Kong is actually relatively familiar with several of the regular guests.
For example, Bai Ziyang, one of the leading hosts of Mango Channel, and Lu Bai, who has completely transformed from an actor into a variety show star and can record more than ten or twenty variety shows a year.
These people Xu Kong had met once before when they participated in some programs. The only one who was not familiar with them might be Su Zhi.
Despite her young age, she is only twenty-five years old, but her qualifications in the entertainment industry are quite old. She is also the youngest diva in Chinese history.
When Xu Kong was in junior high school, Su Zhi, who became famous overnight through a certain music talent show, was already famous all over the country.
The following year, the first album released a variety of hit singles, and directly won various domestic awards that year, including the Golden Melody Award.
Of course, Su Zhi has not had any hit new songs in the past few years. Although she is still a top first-line singer in the country, her presence is not too high.
Xu Kong guessed that the reason why the other party participated in this show was most likely to promote his new song or album.
Because Su Zhi has not participated in variety shows very frequently in recent years, she must have come with a purpose.
The host of "Celebrity Forum" is Bai Ziyang, but it is not a program produced by Mango Channel.
It was an online variety show from Penguin Video, so the recording location was in Beijing.
Going forward a few years, online variety shows are almost at the bottom of the chain of contempt for variety shows in the industry.
But in recent years, with the emergence of popular variety shows on platforms such as Penguin Video and Kiwi, celebrities have begun to no longer object to recording online variety shows.
The lineup of guests ranged from third- and fourth-tier artists to amateurs at the beginning, but now, top-notch celebrities like Xu Kong can be easily invited. The main reason is that the program team has deep pockets and looks like they are not short of money, making it difficult for people to refuse.
Xu Kong was able to get more than one million in advertising fees just for recording this episode.
"Remember, talk less and listen more."
Arriving at the recording site of the show, Guo Zihao didn't know how many times he asked.
Unlike Xu Kong, who only knew a little bit about it, Guo Zihao had done detailed background research on this program.
In a purely talk show, it is easiest for a top star like Xu Kong to say the wrong thing.
Bai Ziyang, a very experienced host in the industry, is almost famous for his sharp words.
Among the guests who participated in this program before, some fell into the problem trap designed by the other party.
Although the program team has already prepared the script, no one can guarantee whether there will be any unexpected situations.
"Got it."
Xu Kong didn't pay too much attention to it. It was just a variety show, and he was still confident that he could handle it.
After finishing the makeup, the program finally entered the official recording stage.
Bai Ziyang was making relevant opening remarks while introducing several guests present.
Although the recording was done in a recording studio, the setting was quite warm. The guests gathered around a round table and ate hotpot mutton and an attractive roast duck.
A few people started chatting while eating slowly.
They are all topics related to the script.
Xu Kong would interject a few words from time to time, but he would not dominate the scene. He would try his best to maintain a certain sense of presence without arousing the audience's disgust.
For a popular star like him, if he doesn't have much support from his works, there is no need to forcefully create program effects when participating in programs, as long as he doesn't make mistakes.
In comparison, Xu Kong found that Su Zhi was the one who talked the least. It was obvious that the other party was not interested in the topics given by the program team at all.
"Xukong, I remember you wrote a new song some time ago?"
"It seems to be called "The Best Losing Friend". I listened to it several times and I really like it!"
"Can you tell us how you wrote this song?"
"I see that many netizens are curious about the creative background of the song."
Bai Ziyang suddenly called Xu Kong. Although this was not the first time, the previous ones were mostly trivial matters, but this time it attracted the attention of other guests present.
Even Su Zhi looked at him curiously.
Xu Kong's expression didn't change much, but he knew clearly that there was no such problem in the script he got.
If it were the original owner, or other artists who had not debuted for a long time, they would definitely jump in when faced with this problem full of traps.
But Xu Kong will definitely not fulfill Bai Ziyang's wish.
"I have always agreed with one point of view."
"The moment a song is created and released, the song no longer belongs to the creator."
"Everyone can hear their own story from the song. I have also seen many netizens say that they feel resonance from the song "Best Losing Friend", so I won't add any unnecessary detail."
There are almost no big flaws in what Xu Kong said.
He knew that Bai Ziyang specifically mentioned this matter because he wanted to dig out some past secrets about him and Ren Yicheng.
Bai Ziyang was obviously dissatisfied after hearing Xu Kong's explanation.
But as a decent person, he did not deliberately continue to ask questions, but naturally chatted about other topics.
