Chapter 27: Whatever bullshit you filmed, you can fuck me
Strictly speaking, the frequency of in-depth communication between Xu Kong and Yu Yaqing is not too high.
After all, the other party is a company boss and is very busy most of the time.
As Xu Kong himself is a top player in domestic entertainment, he has a full schedule of announcements most of the time.
Xu Kong is very experienced with such frequencies.
It can be seen that Yu Yaqing is under a lot of pressure on weekdays, otherwise she wouldn't be so unnoticeable every time she looks for him.
This is treating him as a specialized decompression tool
Xu Kong is very familiar with it. In his last life, he came here like this.
It's just that he accidentally went too far, which ultimately ruined his top career.
The influence of "Singer" is still continuing. After a few days of popularity, "So Many People in the World" has become even more popular.
On the two major music platforms, the combined number of comments on the song has exceeded 100,000.
Such data is a sure hit.
Xu Kong, a songwriter, also benefited a lot from it.
Regardless of the growth of fans and fame, the biggest gain is the change in public opinion.
In the past, when Xu Kong was mentioned, most passers-by and netizens were either making jokes or ridiculing him.
It can be said that apart from fans, Xu Kong does not have a good reputation among passers-by.
But now that Xu Kong is mentioned, many people have begun to think that he is somewhat capable. He was able to write "The Best Losing Friend" and "So Many People in the World", and his creative talents have been recognized by many ordinary netizens.
It is no longer the original classic comment: "Except for being handsome, he has no advantages."
"Are you sure you pushed them all?"
“There are quite a few popular variety shows, and the appearance fees for some shows are exaggerated.”
Guo Zihao's plan is to gain more presence by striking while the iron is hot with the popularity of "Singer" and "So Many People in the World" this season, and Xu Kong's reputation has also improved.
Whether it is participating in variety shows or going to various performance announcements, this is the most correct plan.
But as the filming of the drama "Want to Meet You" was about to start, Xu Kong directly asked him to push forward all these invitations and announcements.
According to the scheduled shooting cycle, Xu Kong will disappear from public view for at least two to three months.
When it comes to some powerful actors or singers, it actually doesn't have much impact.
For example, someone like Su Zhi could spend more than half a year in retreat for her new album.
But a top idol like Xu Kong is not suitable.
Of course Xu Kong knows this, maybe he is deliberately turning down some variety shows and exposure opportunities.
Although he is still at the top in this life, Xu Kong has planned to change his development method.
"I am now the director, screenwriter, and male lead of the entire show, and I also have the title of director."
"Where did the time come from?"
Xu Kong's answer made Guo Zihao a little confused about how to refute, so he could only mutter something in a low voice.
"Then isn't this all what you asked for?"
The specific filming location of "Want to See You" was chosen by Xu Kong in Hangzhou, mainly because it was convenient enough.
Of course, Xu Kong still made some changes in some details of the entire drama.
It is impossible to copy it completely.
Especially when this drama was produced in the previous life, it was a drama from Wanwan, so it still needed some careful localization.
Fortunately, these are not troublesome.
This is the first time in his two lives that he has become a director, so he is inevitably a little nervous. Fortunately, I had been in various crews in my previous life, and I had a relatively clear understanding of some of the specific operating methods of the crews.
At the opening ceremony, because there was no publicity in advance, there were not many media present, mainly the entire crew.
There are also Song Youyou and several other young actors.
Except for Song Youyou and Xu Kong, most of the other supporting characters in the show are fifth- and sixth-tier actors with little reputation.
The second male lead is a new actor signed by Fengqing Entertainment some time ago.
Speaking of which, Fengqing Entertainment has made a lot of preparations to enter the film and television industry, which has made Xu Kong more convenient.
He found many people on the crew directly from the company.
"Mr. Xu Kong, I would like to ask, that is to say, are you the screenwriter, director, or the leading actor in this drama?"
The media present at this time were all invited by Guo Zihao in advance and paid for the "travel expenses".
Xu Kong's original idea was to just think about the power-on ceremony, there was no need to make a big fanfare.
But Guo Zihao said that there should still be some publicity, and Xu Kong agreed.
Before the entertainment reporter who asked the question came, he didn't expect that this was not only the first drama for Xu Kong, a top star, but that Xu Kong was also the director and screenwriter of the entire drama.
"Yes, after all, I came up with the story myself. I still feel that only I can shoot it well."
"Of course, after all, it is my first time to be a director or an actor."
In these scenes, Xu Kong came up casually, with almost no need for drafting. This is one of the professional abilities that a top-notch person should have.
But this time, the reporter who just asked the question clearly had no intention of letting him go.
"You just said that you don't have any experience. What makes you think that you can direct and act on your own?"
Translated, this actually means: "You are a traffic star, how dare you?"
At this time, Guo Zihao on the side had already frowned.
Obviously, for the reporter who received the red envelope, these two issues were not within the scope of the previous discussion.
He was about to interrupt, but Xu Kong spoke calmly:
"There is no special reason, I just take pictures if I want to."
The reporter asked again: "How did you convince the agency to allow you to mess around? Or where did you get the confidence to think that you can be a director?"
He knew exactly why the reporter asked these questions.
Undoubtedly, he took a fancy to the topicality of a top-notch person who plans to write, direct, and act. Even if he received a red envelope, he still would not let go of such headlines.
Logically speaking, this was not the first time Xu Kong had encountered such a situation, and he could resolve it easily.
Directly signal Guo Zihao to stop the interview and question session, or use some more official words to fool him.
But I don’t know why, maybe because he was tired of being asked, maybe because he felt that the way he had been dealing with it was too frustrating, he suddenly said:
"I know what you want to hear, but there's nothing you can't say."
"Some time ago, I watched a lot of urban dramas with love themes over the years. After watching it, I couldn't help but curse, what kind of bullshit is this? I can do it!"
"I thought I could take better pictures than them, so I took them!"
Xu Kong stared at the reporter who asked the question and asked:
"Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Obviously, Xu Kong's words just now, although they seem very relaxed, can only be summed up in one word, that is "crazy".
But this is obviously what the media wants to see most.
The few invited reporters in the audience were stunned for a while because of Xu Kong's words, and then they all started busy with surprises, as if they had found a treasure.
If nothing else, this is big news with a lot of topics. Now it’s up to see who is faster and can grab this hot search headline.
