Chapter 93 The program is broadcast, the popularity of "Qilixiang"
In the next week, the weather in Hangzhou became colder and colder.
Including Xu Kong, many people put on thick autumn clothes.
However, compared with the weather, what makes people feel more depressing is the atmosphere inside Fengqing Entertainment.
"Youth" ended hastily and hardly attracted any attention. Compared with the vigorous launch when it first aired, it undoubtedly felt anticlimactic.
But this is normal. After all, a drama that has been proven to have no commercial value is no longer worth the investment of resources by either Fengqing Entertainment or Kiwi in the future.
The impact on kiwi fruit is also not small.
Although the popularity of the previous "Yan Ruyu" was not very low, it was overshadowed by "Want to See You" from the same period.
The follow-up "Youth", which also had a huge investment, was hit by word-of-mouth and data, almost announcing that the film and television drama market in the fourth quarter of this year was a complete failure.
But compared to Fengqing Entertainment, it is a bit insignificant.
This drama alone has a current loss of more than 300 million.
This does not include the reduction and losses in other aspects of business due to Fengqing Entertainment focusing all the company's energy on film and television dramas.
In addition, due to the reputation problem of "Youth", Song Peiyu, a top player who was previously one of Fengqing Entertainment's main cash cows, has seen his notifications drop by half since the show was aired.
There was even a well-known brand endorsement that had been almost negotiated, but the other party unilaterally broke the contract.
This is what he will definitely do after being ridiculed by the entire Internet.
Although it won't shake the foundation, in the short term, it is definitely necessary to be a little more calm and avoid appearing in the public eye frequently.
Completely different from the entire company of Fengqing Entertainment, is the special existence of Xu Kong.
His endorsements and advertisements, including various performance invitations, not only have not decreased, but have increased.
The first episode of "Our Song" will be broadcast soon, but relevant news leaked out shortly after the recording ended.
Almost all the media judges who participated in the recording gave this program very high praise.
Among them, the most relevant revelations were about Xu Kong.
Many self-media internet celebrities, including Fat Bird, and even some traditional music critics.
Without exception, they all said that Xu Kong may become one of the most influential musicians in the Chinese music scene in the future.
Such remarks can't help but make netizens have high expectations for Xu Kong's performance on the show.
"The other four players all contributed wonderful performances, but compared with Xu Kong's, they are really not on the same level."
"Crush! Crush you, do you understand?"
"You will know what it means when the weekend program is broadcast."
In Fat Bird's live broadcast room, he began to "reveal" some so-called live recording details.
Of course, the specific content of the revelations was actually restricted by Mango in advance.
He knows very well what can and cannot be said.
But this still does not prevent it from arousing the curiosity of many netizens.
"Really or not, although Xu Kong is powerful, isn't it a bit outrageous to crush him?"
"Recently, almost all the music critics online who have participated in the recording of the program are talking about Xu Kong. Are they that exaggerated?"
"Hurry up and broadcast it. You are building momentum for Xu Kong like this, and finally the program is broadcast. If Xu Kong's performance does not convince the public, I will see how it will end!"
Indeed, so many media reviewers boasted about Xu Kong at the same time as if they had a tacit understanding, which made people doubtless.
After all, this show has been centered around Xu Kong ever since it was officially announced.
It seemed like a god-making activity specially prepared for Xu Kong.
However, colleagues in the industry who know some of the situation are obviously dismissive of such claims.
First of all, Xu Kong himself is not an artist of Mango. It is unlikely that an old fox like Wu Youxue would start such a battle for a newcomer Xu Kong. Secondly, it is also because of some recent rumors about Fengqing Entertainment.
It can be said that it is difficult to protect itself, and it is difficult to invest such a huge amount of publicity for its artists.
Until the first episode of "Our Song" was broadcast as scheduled, Xu Kong, the last one to appear, directly played the final word with his song "Qili Xiang".
Experts look at the door, while laymen look at the excitement.
For "Qilixiang", what surprised many music critics and even colleagues was the stunningly gorgeous arrangement, as well as the uncomplicated yet natural melody and lyrics.
But for ordinary viewers, a "good sound" is enough.
After the show was broadcast, several songs on "Our Song" became very popular, including Bai Ran's and Rong Xiabing's new songs, which have successfully reached the top of various charts on the two major music platforms.
But the most popular song is "Qili Xiang" by Xu Kong.
Hot searches on Weibo and various social platforms, the popularity is exaggerated.
As long as the music list meets the conditions for inclusion on the list, all music lists will be number one.
The overnight popularity even surpassed any of Xu Kong's previous songs, and even several singles with the bonus of the hit drama "Want to See You" were completely incomparable.
Of course, Mango will definitely not miss any opportunity to hype his own show.
With the help of the later stage, the "special treatment" Xu Kong suffered from other contestants on the show, as well as the doubts of Jian Junfang, one of the star judges, unsurprisingly became the focus of discussion on the entire network.
"I think Jian Junfang is just making trouble unreasonably, and even a passerby like me can't stand it."
"One or two songs can still be explained, but Xu Kong has written so many high-quality new songs in the past few months, and there is no need to prove anything."
"If you think about it from another perspective, with the quality of Xu Kong's songs, even if you invite some of the most well-known songwriters in the country to be the shooters, you probably can't do it, right?"
In the draft where Xu Kong debuted, when he finally won the championship, Jian Junfang's remarks that he actively questioned Xu Kong's relationship status were actually recognized and supported by most netizens.
He originally thought it would be the same this time.
But he never expected that Xu Kong's reputation among passers-by would be completely different from before.
After the show aired, people on the Internet overwhelmingly supported Xu Kong.
He seemed to be the only loser after the first episode of "Our Song" was aired.
The only hope is that Xu will overturn in the next episode and lose to himself in the R&B field he is most familiar with.
He has decided that no matter what, he will find Xu Kong's faults no matter what.
……
As for Xu Kong at this time, he didn't have much time to pay attention to these debates on the Internet.
"Mr. Song, they took the initiative to contact us. It's a bit unreasonable for you to insist that Xu Kong stole your endorsement, isn't it?"
Guo Zihao looked at Song Peiyu in front of him with a calm expression and said calmly.
The thing is like this. Originally, Song Peiyu and this well-known beverage brand had already signed an intention to cooperate.
As a result, after "Our Song" was broadcast, the other party suddenly broke the contract and turned around and found Xu Kong here.
The asking price was not low, and there was no negative news about this brand, so Guo Zihao naturally accepted it.
But before the two parties formally signed the contract, Song Peiyu came directly to ask for an explanation.
"How is it possible? We have already negotiated, why would the other party suddenly go back on their word?"
"It must be you"
"Xukong, I admit that I am not as good as you now, but there is no need to be so bullying, right?!!"
Song Peiyu was originally unhappy with Xu Kong, a junior who joined the company and began to gradually replace his first brother. After the pressure of being ridiculed by the entire network some time ago, it finally broke out.
