Chapter 94 He pulled, but didn’t pull
Looking at the angry Song Peiyu in front of him, he almost shouted to himself, "Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi".
Xu Kong couldn't help but want to laugh.
After all, Song Peiyu only debuted two or three years earlier than him. Judging from his age, he is just a young boy in his early twenties.
If you have really been in the entertainment industry for a long time, you will know that this kind of thing being robbed of resources by your peers is completely ordinary.
It is originally a circle of survival of the fittest, but this method of coming to question someone is really a bit too childish.
To put it harshly, just practice more!
As a top player, you may not have outstanding professional abilities, but you must try your best to improve your own value from the beginning.
This Song Peiyu is probably also criticized by many netizens on the Internet recently due to the poor performance of "Youth".
"Song Peiyu!"
"Come back!"
Suddenly, voices came from outside the door.
It's Song Peiyu's agent here.
"But."
Song Peiyu wanted to say something more, but was forcefully interrupted by the other party.
"Did you hear that?"
Song Peiyu hesitated for two seconds, and finally glared at Xu Kong, then turned and left.
"Otherwise, let's leave it to them, it's so pitiful."
Xu Kong glanced at the two people leaving with sympathy.
Of course, what he said was just talk.
Although Xu Kong does not lack such an endorsement now, since he has accepted it, there is no reason to regret it.
Moreover, Xu Kong has actually already adapted to the game rules of this entertainment industry.
You can sympathize with the other person's experience, but it is definitely impossible to let go of the meat that is actually put into your mouth.
""Fantasy Adventure" is scheduled to be released in mid-November, and the company should start announcing it soon."
Guo Zihao reminded.
This "Fantasy Adventure" is Fengqing Entertainment's second drama.
"I'll find time to talk to Mr. Yu."
Xu Kong was silent for a few seconds, then spoke.
"Aren't you looking for a new company?"
Guo Zihao was stunned for a moment.
The last time he was on the plane, he clearly remembered that Xu Kong told him to prepare to find a new agency in advance.
"No need for the time being."
Xu Kong replied lightly.
After the inner struggle last time, he still considered asking Yu Yaqing and Feng Qing to have fun.
Yu Yaqing has worked hard for so many years to build Fengqing Entertainment to its current scale. If she was completely knocked back to her original form, it would probably be difficult for the other party to accept it.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing Xu Kong walking in, Yu Yaqing was slightly surprised.
"You must be very busy recently, right?"
Yu Yaqing knew that the popularity of the program "Our Song" continued to rise after it was aired. It was normal for Xu Kong, the best-performing contestant, to have more announcements.
"I'm not as busy as Mr. Yu."
Xu Kong walked to Yu Yaqing's side very naturally and started massaging her.
It can be seen that Yu Yaqing has been exhausted physically and mentally recently, and her face is full of fatigue.
"Okay, I'm not in the mood right now. I'll pamper you after I'm done with this period of time."
Holding Xu Kong's hand that was about to go deep, Yu Yaqing stood up and kissed Xu Kong gently.
"Mr. Yu, I am here this time to tell you that I have finished writing the script for my second drama." Xu Kong sat across from Yu Yaqing and said with a natural expression.
He knew very well that Yu Yaqing was obviously planning to invest most of the company's cash in the follow-up promotion of "Fantasy Adventure".
There is no way, it is obviously impossible to stop Yu Yaqing's decision. The only way is to ask the other party for investment in his new drama.
In this way, Fengqing Entertainment’s subsequent meaningless expenditures can be reduced.
Moreover, the revenue of "Want to See You" was so high that Yu Yaqing could not find any reason to refuse.
Sure enough, after hearing Xu Kong's words, Yu Yaqing fell into deep thought.
"What's the approximate budget for the new drama?"
Xu Kong replied calmly: "The production cost is about 200 million."
Under such circumstances, even though Xu Kong doesn't even have any specific ideas for a new drama, he still tries to get as much investment as possible from Yu Yaqing.
He was already ready to bargain, but to Xu Kong's surprise, Yu Yaqing didn't refuse.
Logically speaking, although the first part was an unexpected success, the investment for "Want to See You" was only 30 million. It is definitely a bit risky for a drama with such a large investment to suddenly jump to 200 million.
"You wait two more months and polish the script two more times."
Although she did not refuse, Yu Yaqing did not agree directly.
From here, Xu Kong can see that Fengqing Entertainment's cash flow is somewhat insufficient.
The follow-up may only be able to support the publicity and distribution costs of the drama "Fantasy Adventure".
There is nothing that can be done about it. Fengqing Entertainment is already relatively large in the entertainment industry, despite its scale.
But this time there are two major investment dramas in a row. The production cost plus publicity and distribution will cost at least 6.7 billion.
Coupled with the company's large-scale recruitment of employees in the film and television industry and the signing of many so-called talented actors, almost all the cash in the company's account was poured into it.
Although Fengqing Entertainment makes a lot of money every year, its expenses are also huge.
Every year, the cost of marketing, publicity, etc. for its artists, including Xu Kong, and the operating costs of the entire company are huge figures.
Not to mention it’s impossible for a real artist to not take any, right?
There are detailed proportions for the sharing of endorsements, performances, appearance fees, etc.
Top players like Xu Kong usually have around 40% to 50%.
After all, Fengqing Entertainment is not an industry giant like Feng Ge. It is already very powerful for Fengqing Entertainment to be able to launch two major investment new dramas at once.
"A little less is fine. We can assemble the crew first and prepare for the start of filming."
Xu Kong changed his words.
I thought I could help save a little bit.
But Yu Yaqing still shook her head.
"You also know that the company's new drama is about to be released, and we don't have much spare money."
"We can only wait."
"But don't worry, after "Fantasy Adventure" is finished, I will definitely not lose a penny of your investment in the new drama."
After all, it was Xu Kong who was sitting in front of her at this moment. Otherwise, she wouldn't even give such an explanation to anyone else.
Yu Yaqing definitely trusts Xu Kong and has a strong sense of tolerance.
Otherwise, even though the original drama "Want to See You" was only a small-budget drama with an investment of 30 million, Xu Kong, who had no experience at all, would not have been allowed to direct and act on his own.
Whether or not the success of "Want to See You" is due to various factors, Xu Kong's ability is recognized by Yu Yaqing.
Therefore, the second drama will provide a higher investment, allowing the other party to have more freedom to perform. This was originally Yu Yaqing's plan.
It's just that at this stage, it's really not the time.
"I know."
Xu Kong sighed helplessly, stood up and left without saying anything.
Regarding Fengqing Entertainment and Yu Yaqing, he pulled, but did not pull.
