Chapter 155 The advantage is mine!

Chapter 155 The advantage is mine!

Xu Kong thought about many possibilities, but what he didn't expect was that Su Zhi would hide in the closet and fall asleep.

But it seems understandable. Originally, Su Zhi rushed back from other places directly after the performance to celebrate his birthday.

Most likely I didn't get a good rest.

After gently carrying the person to the bed, Xu Kong also lay down tiredly.

This birthday cannot be said to be thrilling, but it is certainly rare.

After all, I ate the birthday cake three times and made my wish maybe three times.

Now he was a little glad that Shang Yuxin came over.

Otherwise, Song Youyou would definitely spend the night here, and Su Zhi might really have to stay in the closet all night.

When Xu Kong woke up the next day, Su Zhi had already left.

After all, the first thing the other party did when he returned to the capital was to see Xu Kong, but he didn't go to his studio.

I just came back, I guess there are still a lot of things to deal with.

After confirming that Su Zhi was not too angry, Xu Kong also breathed a sigh of relief.

After washing up, running for a while in the morning, and having a casual breakfast, Xu Kong came to the headquarters of Fengge Company.

"For you."

"Happy birthday."

In the office, Zhu Yu pushed the packaging box to Xu Kong.

Obviously, Zhu Yu probably remembered Xu Kong's birthday.

"Thank you, Sister Yu."

Xu Kong said with a smile.

Then they took it apart directly in front of the other party.

But he didn't expect Zhu Yu to stop him.

Tell him to go back and take it apart again.

In the morning, Xu Kong finished sorting out his specific itinerary for the next month.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't too rushed, there were only four or five announcements in total.

At least compared to when I was at Fengqing Entertainment, it's already much better.

There were times when he might have to catch up with three or four announcements in a day.

With nothing to do, Xu Kong opened the gift Zhu Yu gave him.

When Xu Kong saw the things inside, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhu Yu looks gentle and virtuous on the surface, but unexpectedly she has a strong desire for revenge.

The gift was a beautifully designed watch, but besides that, there was an additional box sitting next to it.

It seems that because last time Xu Kong gave the other party a small toy, this time the other party directly returned a simulated cup

But I can’t use it either!

Xu Kong complained softly in a helpless voice.

In his current situation, Song Youyou and Su Zhi have both returned to the capital, and they really don't have much chance to use this thing.

And no matter what happened, Xu Kong felt that the possibility of finding Zhu Yu would be greater.

However, Xu Kong quickly sent a message to Zhu Yu.

"I like the gift very much."

"I will give you a good report on my experience later, Sister Yu."

Zhu Yu, who was working at this time, also saw these words sent by Xu Kong.

His face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but spit in his heart.

"Who wants to hear your report on your experience!"

She gave this to Xu Kong out of spite for revenge.

But she never thought that Xu Kong was very thick-skinned and didn't care at all, and he didn't shy away from talking to her about such things.

Time has entered May in a blink of an eye, and there is only the last month left before the official broadcast of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

At the same time, Xu Kong's personal studio, Xianjian's official Weibo, as well as Penguin Video and Tomato TV released relevant news on the schedule.

The publicity work of all parties has gradually begun to get on the right track.

However, from this aspect, it can be seen that Tomato’s own publicity channels and resources are much weaker.

Not to mention compared to Mango, it is far behind even Penguin.

Feng Ge will definitely have to invest part of the publicity budget here, even though the copyright has been sold.

But the better the data of the show is after it is broadcast, it actually has hidden benefits for Xu Kong, the director and starring role, as well as Feng Ge.

The self-media scolding war between Yiguo and Fat Bird in their respective fields has now begun to gradually subside.

At present, the competition for the upcoming summer season is quite fierce.

Penguin's side is naturally "Legend of Sword and Fairy" directed and starred by Xu Kong, and "Mystic Valley", which is broadcast on Mango and Kiwi, is also not weak in terms of publicity.

Although Tudou Video doesn't seem to be promoting it that hard, in addition to a suspense-themed online drama produced by its own platform during the summer season, there is also a live-action urban fantasy drama adapted from comics, which is also intended to compete with the other two major platforms.

"Teacher Xu Kong, what many netizens were actually most curious about before was that you called the theme of your new play Xianxia, ​​instead of acknowledging it as a traditional ancient puppet show."

The last program that Xu Kong participated in in May was a program where the guests ate, drank, and chatted.

Recording is relatively easy.

Although some of the problems seemed quite acute, the script was actually reviewed before recording.

Generally speaking, it will not have much impact on Xu Kong himself and the upcoming Fairy Sword.

For the announcement of Fairy Sword this time, Xu Kong did not participate in any Mango variety show.

Logically speaking, Mango's variety shows should be the most popular and the best choice.

But Zhu Yu contacted several popular variety shows on Mango, but was declined politely.

Xu Kong guessed that this was related to his previous choice to cooperate with Tomato Channel instead of selling the copyright to the other party.

But more importantly, Wu Youxue still seems to have not returned to Mango at this stage.

Most of the variety shows below are not directly responsible for him.

Of course, Wu Youxue took the initiative to contact Xu Kong later.

Strictly speaking, I can definitely appear on Mango’s various variety shows.

Wu Youxue still has actual control over most popular programs.

Instead, Wu Youxue took the initiative to instruct several producers and directors of the program to politely reject Xu Kong.

In his words, it is not the time yet.

I came here specifically to explain to Xu Kong because I was afraid that he would misunderstand.

Xu Kong knew that the private negotiations between Wu Youxue and Mango executives had probably reached a fever pitch.

Xu Kong is an artist who has firmly expressed his support for Wu Youxue.

At this time, I don't want to drag Xu Kong into trouble again.

That's why we can put aside the relationship.

Xu Kong didn't have too much doubt about Wu Youxue's explanation.

Although he and Wu Youxue have not known each other for a long time, strictly speaking, the two of them have not met many times.

But Xu Kong still knew something about Wu Youxue. Although he has high emotional intelligence and wide connections, he actually mainly relies on the other person's love to support his juniors and his code of conduct that will not make friends in his circle suffer.

Although Xu Kong really never thought that the other party would have to return the favor to him.

But Wu Youxue most likely didn't need to deliberately trick him.

With the potential that Xu Kong has shown so far, unless they are fools, most people will definitely take the initiative to have a good relationship.

"Mr. Qin, do you really want to broadcast on the same day as the other party?"

Kiwi, the head of the operations department asked with a somewhat ugly expression.

The dramas that are currently confirmed to be aired in the upcoming summer season are being promoted very hard.

The main new drama on their platform this time is Huayuan's "Mysterious Valley".

In terms of copyright fees alone, it cost almost over 400 million.

The fee of just over 10 million per episode is definitely the largest copyright expenditure so far this year.

In addition, the investment in publicity and distribution in the past few days is not low, and it is definitely worth tens of millions.

Judging from the current popularity, "Mysterious Valley" is even slightly more popular than Xu Kong's "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

But the person in charge knows that the publicity effect achieved by spending money will inevitably have a lot of water content.

Xu Kong's Fairy Sword has been warmed up since the New Year's Eve party at the beginning of the year. The number of viewers who really pay attention to it is definitely much higher than that of "Mysterious Valley".

And he himself doesn't have much confidence.

I feel that "Mysterious Valley" will definitely be able to directly crush Xu Kong's new drama.

According to normal business logic, although they are all competing for the summer market.

But the wisest choice is to stagger the specific broadcast time by about a month and a half.

But no matter what he said, Qin Xian, the vice president, still insisted on letting "Mysterious Valley" and Xu Kong's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" be broadcast on the same day.

Such behavior is too stubborn.

And even if "Mystic Valley" can really win in various statistics, it will not have any benefits.

This lose-lose approach really makes no sense commercially.

“It’s scheduled to be scheduled on the same day!”

"Just do as I say."

Qin Xian's expression was serious.

Obviously, everything he experienced in Fengge made it impossible for him to calm down completely even after more than a month passed.

Especially Xu Kong's almost condescending look, completely ignoring him, he couldn't forget.

Will you not cooperate with them in future dramas?

Do you really think that without you Xu Kong, Qi Guo can't survive? ! !

That's why he chose to confront Penguin's fairy sword head-on.

Of course, Qin Xian was not completely impulsive.

He only made this decision after watching the entire drama "Mystic Valley".

In his opinion, first of all, in terms of cast, Xu Kong's new drama cannot compare.

In "Mysterious Valley", with a veteran visionary like Su Xun, and Zhuo Lingwan, a first-line actor who has appeared in various hit dramas all year round, even the supporting actors are all familiar faces to the audience.

The lineup is nothing short of luxurious.

As for Xu Kong, his popularity is indeed high, but his accumulation of works is too small. It is just one "Want to See You", which is not yet known to all TV drama viewers.

Although Song Youyou has a rich background, in the final analysis she is just a newcomer who has only debuted for more than two years.

Not to mention Shang Yuxin, the former Golden Eagle goddess who has been on the decline year by year. She failed to enter the film industry and came back to film TV series. Do you really think it has no impact?

In addition, "Mysterious Valley" is also better in terms of investment. It also has a lot of special effects. Based on his experience at the Fairy Sword viewing party, the special effects are not as good as "Mysterious Valley".

Even in the most critical plot, in Qin Xian's opinion, "Mysterious Valley" is not weaker than its counterpart.

To sum up, all these factors add up to one sentence: "The advantage is mine!"

"Mr. Qin, if the official announcement is made, we won't be able to regret it later"

The person in charge of operations couldn't help but give a reminder in the end.

Although it can still be withdrawn after being scheduled, such behavior is nothing more than a sign of guilty conscience in the eyes of the audience.

In addition to affecting the reputation and audience popularity of the drama itself, the most important thing is to withdraw it. Whether it is in the film or TV drama industry, it is not a good sign. Generally speaking, producers will not do this unless they have no choice. Do.

"Do you need to teach me these things?"

Qin Xian was already a little angry at this moment.

He felt that the other party was trying to boost his opponent's ambition and destroy his own prestige.

"I know."

The head of operations said nothing more.

The first level of officialdom is overwhelming, not to mention that Qin Xian, the vice president, has a rather special status.

Although he didn't agree with this approach in his heart, he could only agree.

Soon, the news of the release of "Mysterious Valley" caused an uproar on the Internet.

Because the time is actually the same as the previous "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it is June 10th.

Other than it being intentional, there is no other reason to explain it.

After all, there is nothing special about this date or time.

Even if it is staggered by one day, it will not attract so many people's attention.

But on the same day, no matter how coincidental it is, it's not that coincidental.

Of course, in fact, most netizens or ordinary viewers did not have much reaction to this news. They just smelled some fun.

Penguin Video and Kiwi, Fengge and Huayuan, no matter the platform or the producer, are obviously old enemies.

Of course, those who are actually dissatisfied with this scheduled date are Mango TV and Huayuan.

To put it harshly, everyone is looking for money. For capital, maximizing profits and minimizing project risks is the best choice.

But this time Kiwi insists on going its own way, which inevitably makes people feel very unhappy.

Because of the number of Kiwi platform users in recent years and its own size, it is impossible to directly criticize it.

I can only complain a little in private.

However, if the decision ultimately fails because of this, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Kiwi to not be held accountable.

The first person to express his opinion on this matter was the film and television self-media Yiguo with a huge number of fans.

"Kiwi chose to air "Mysterious Valley" and Xu Kong's "Legend of Sword and Fairy" on the same day. It was definitely not out of business logic, because two of the most popular summer dramas would be aired on the same day. There is no benefit to either party.”

"It can be seen that the senior management of Kiwi Guo who made such a decision must have some personal grudges. If I guess, it is probably related to the copyright competition for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that was originally reported."

"Of course, this is definitely a good thing for us ordinary viewers."

"Especially for students who took the college entrance examination this year, after the college entrance examination, there will be two new dramas that are currently of high quality and may even compete for this year's most popular dramas to watch."

Yiguo's comments were actually similar to just talking about the news without expressing too many of his own opinions.

However, viewers in the comment area have already begun to argue. The main point of contention is who can stand out among these two dramas aired on the same day.
