Chapter 17 The necessity of a break room in the boss’s office
"I know what you're going to say."
"But the matter has been decided. Song Peiyu is considered an old man in the company, and he is more popular than you and has experience in several dramas."
"If I choose you, I won't be able to convince the public."
Yu Yaqing seemed not surprised at all by Xu Kong's arrival.
Of course, these words made Xu Kong somewhat unexpected.
Yu Yaqing actually explained it to him specifically.
But Xu Kong came here this time not for this matter.
"Mr. Yu, I'm not here to compete with Song Peiyu for a role."
He walked to sit across from Yu Yaqing's desk and spoke slowly.
There is indeed a big difference between Yu Yaqing in the company and at home. She is dressed in a professional OL suit, which makes her look less like a young woman and more like a strong professional woman.
Yu Yaqing is indeed a very strong leader.
Fengqing Entertainment has always been consistent in all its decisions.
"Then you come here"
Yu Yaqing was still staring intently at the computer screen in front of her, without looking at Xu Kong at all, but Xu Kong suddenly felt a cold touch on his thigh.
He subconsciously looked down and saw a small foot wrapped in black silk.
The stockings have beautiful patterns, and you can vaguely see the red nail polish that Yu Yaqing asked him to apply last time.
"I thought about it, and I still plan to film a movie, not Song Peiyu's role."
"Mr. Yu, if you customize a drama specifically for me, how much investment can the company give?"
Hearing Xu Kong's words, Yu Yaqing's movements suddenly paused.
"Customized a drama just for you?"
"If it was before, I might consider it. Now, you know it's impossible."
Of course Xu Kong knew that Yu Yaqing was not perfunctory with him.
This time Fengqing Entertainment and Kiwi Guo reached a cooperation. Xu Kong was not sure about the specific terms, but Fengqing Entertainment was definitely taking risks.
There is a high probability that the two parties signed a contract such as a gambling agreement.
What Fengqing Entertainment gets is that every drama can be broadcast on Kiwi, and there is a high probability that it will be supported by the top resources of their platform.
Judging from the news Xu Kong received, Fengqing Entertainment plans to shoot two new dramas this time.
For a costume drama, the one starring Song Peiyu, the investment is conservatively around 150 million, excluding publicity and distribution costs.
The other one is to buy the series rights of a certain domestic fantasy novel. Although there is no formal project approval yet, the budget is definitely high but not low.
Even though Fengqing Entertainment is a large company, it has accumulated a lot of capital over the years, but with this wave of investment, it is certain that it will be stretched thin.
"It doesn't require a big investment, 30 million is enough."
"But I have a request, that is, I must have certain decision-making power in this drama."
Xu Kong added.
There is no overly begging tone, and he is always neither humble nor overbearing.
"Thirty million?"
Obviously, Yu Yaqing thought that Xu Kong would come to find her.
But the purpose was wrong.
The other party is not here to complain about why Song Peiyu was given the male lead in the new drama, but he plans to film another new drama by himself?
"The most I can give you is 20 million."
"You haven't helped me earn this money since you joined the company."
"However, I also have requirements."
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yaqing suddenly said with a serious expression.
"No problem!" Xu Kong agreed without much thought.
As for the reduction from 30 million to 20 million, he thinks it is completely acceptable.
After all, Xu Kong originally thought that 10 million would be enough, and at most he would be able to use it sparingly.
"First of all, since you want decision-making power, you will be responsible for the project of this drama, including the director, screenwriter, and other aspects. You make the decision yourself."
"The second thing is to participate in the company's actor training. If you don't have any acting experience before, you have to work harder in this area."
"In the end, if this show loses money, some of the resources of the follow-up company may not be your turn."
"So, have you really decided?"
Yu Yaqing felt that Xu Kong was just a young man's fad.
Because the role was snatched away by Song Peiyu, this episode came about.
Originally, I subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, I realized that this was indeed an opportunity for Xu Kong to practice.
From his debut to now, it can be said that Xu Kong has not encountered any difficulties. From being unknown to the top of the domestic entertainment industry, with the help of Fengqing Entertainment, the process has been too smooth.
It's also good to let the other person feel deflated for a while.
Yu Yaqing is very optimistic about Xu Kong's future development. After all, with this face alone, Xu Kong is considered to be a born star.
Compared to top players like Song Peiyu, Xu Kong's appearance is much better. This is a fact that cannot be changed.
Therefore, in Yu Yaqing's plan, it is certain that Xu Kong will enter the film and television industry, but it requires careful preparation.
But after Xu Kong made the request just now, she figured out that it wouldn't be a bad thing to let him suffer a little loss.
The other party is still young and has a lot of room for development in the future.
Of course, the premise of all this is that he is Xu Kong.
If it were any other artist in the company, Yu Yaqing would not have so much patience.
Although she didn't say it personally, Yu Yaqing was still very satisfied with Xu Kong's performance in joining Fengqing Entertainment.
Especially how the other party behaves every time he goes to her home.
"Of course."
Xu Kong didn't have as many ideas as Yu Yaqing.
But he was not a fool, so he also said at this time:
"But if my show makes money in the end, I will get a share, not a simple salary."
The investment is only 20 million. How high can his salary be, no matter how high it is?
"Very reasonable."
"If you make money from this show, after excluding the cost, I will split the profit 50-50 with you."
Yu Yaqing said with a smile.
She didn't care about the split at all, because she didn't expect Xu Kong's first drama to make money.
Mainly, I really like to see Xu Kong looking full of fighting spirit at this time.
Compared with the usual maturity that does not match his age, Yu Yaqing prefers Xu Kong's youthful vigor at this time.
"Is there anything else?"
Xu Kong shook his head.
The whole process was much smoother than he imagined.
"Then it's my business."
Next, we have to mention the professionalism of Fengqing Entertainment’s decoration designers.
It is indeed necessary to have a quiet and comfortable lounge in the boss's office.
