Chapter 156 A new album produced for Su Zhi
"To be honest, although Xu Kong's new drama has been previewed for a long time, in terms of subject matter, I am still more interested in "Mysterious Valley"."
"I also like Xu Kong very much, but in terms of lineup, Fairy Sword is definitely not as good as "Mysterious Valley"."
"Do you really think Su Xun, the emperor of vision, is lucky? Xu Kong made a movie "Want to See You", and fans think he can compare with others?"
As soon as the news came out that the two dramas were scheduled to be released on the same day, almost both parties started to move.
Of course, it’s nothing more than buying in trolls, slandering others, discrediting and breaking news, and other methods.
This aspect is indeed too childish for Mango, which is how it started its business.
Even though Wu Youxue was not here at this time, some other people in charge of Mango were still very skilled at this trick.
Of course, Kiwi is also participating in the group, including the producer Fang Huayuan Film and Television.
In comparison, Feng Ge's two partners this time were a bit weak.
Penguin Video is not bad, at least it can get a little better in the public opinion war.
The Tomato TV station looked completely blank, and was completely unable to fight back after being beaten.
As the director and male protagonist of Fairy Sword, Xu Kong is inevitably compared with Su Xun.
"Want to See You" was indeed very popular last year, and now Xu Kong is no longer just a traffic idol without any strength before.
But in terms of comparing works, with only one hit drama, it’s really not enough.
Su Xun has been in the industry for more than ten years, and at the age of early thirties, he is no longer a young talent, but he is still at the peak of his career.
Just a Magnolia Award-winning star can already beat many of the top actors in the group.
A top-notch person like Song Peiyu, who has unlimited fame, is not qualified to get involved.
In addition to the acceptable fighting ability of fans, there is almost no suspense in terms of word-of-mouth among passers-by.
Thanks to the fact that the current rating of "Want to See You" is still stable at around 8.8 or 8.9 points, otherwise, Xu Kong would probably also be suppressed by public opinion in a one-sided manner.
But even though Kiwi Guo kept making various moves, Xu Kong didn't panic at all.
The current pre-publicity of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is enough.
Having said all that, "Mysterious Valley" broadcast by Mango and Kiwi is just a proper commercial TV series. There was a lot of hype before it was broadcast, but in the end, the data will speak for itself.
Xu Kong is not sure about the show "Sword of Immortality", but he still has great confidence in its popularity.
Although the early stage of the broadcast of "The Last Sword" was quite bumpy, it took more than two years after it was first broadcast on the local station 2 before it was officially broadcast on the first round of stars.
Moreover, the broadcasting station itself lacks influence, resulting in low ratings.
But if it can become a big hit step by step and even become a generation's childhood memory, the show itself must still have no problem.
It is completely restricted by "origin".
This can be seen from those fairy tale dramas that were still popular for many years, but still followed the fairy sword routine.
This time, the background of the times has changed, and some of the shortcomings in the early stage have been made up for. He is also looking forward to what kind of results he can get in the end.
In addition, Xu Kong didn't feel guilty at all when it came to competing for reputation.
Although Xu Kong cannot predict the rating of Fairy Sword after it is broadcast, it will definitely not be very low.
Moreover, in his prediction, it is estimated that it will not reach that time.
Xu Kong also started to be busy, or it was not just Xu Kong, but the entire Fairy Sword crew.
As June gets closer and closer, the creators of Fairy Sword have begun to cooperate with Penguin and Tomato in their promotion work.
I don’t know which little genius invented it. Originally, the advertisements in TV series were all inserts.
But now there are more and more advertising routines and tricks.
Most popular dramas, whether it's Penguin or Kiwi, or even Tudou Video, have begun to customize special advertising theaters for advertisers.
Most of them are self-made dramas produced by the platform, or cooperation was finalized in the early stages of project establishment.
The leading actors were asked to dress in costumes from the play, and the commercials were shot directly on the set in advance, and it was still a plot-based one.
Of course, the price for such customized advertising is also ridiculously high.
Xu Kong and Song Youyou, including Shang Yuxin and some other major supporting actors, went directly to the Penguin Video studio to reshoot several scenes.
The advertising fees you get are also terrifyingly high.
Xu Kong shot three pieces in total, all of which were customized advertisements and would only be inserted into the TV series Fairy Sword.
But we still got about 8 million in advertising fees.
As for the platform Penguin Video, it makes the absolute majority of the money.
They were really not willing to suffer any loss from the original copyright fee of tens of millions per episode. The amount of advertisements was terrifying.
Moreover, even starring actors such as Xu Kong cooperating in commercials were written into the contract in advance.
"I'm already in contact with the publicity department. People in your studio are too busy for follow-up operations. You can ask them for help."
Zhu Yu knew that there were not many people in Xu Kong's studio.
The official account of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" this time, including part of the promotion and materials, is managed and operated by Xu Kong's own studio.
"Forget it, let's just let them learn and experience a little bit."
Although Xu Kong rarely directly participates in management, he is still very concerned about his personal studio.
Otherwise, when Guo Zihao was recruiting, Xu Kong would not have instructed him to offer high prices to attract talents in the circle.
Xu Kong's head was still lying on Zhu Yu's lap as usual.
But he has been really busy recently, and he is not in much mood to tease Zhu Yu.
I felt a gentle touch on my head.
Zhu Yu actually took the initiative to press his temples.
Although the office was extremely quiet, neither of them spoke.
But Xu Kong was still a little happy in his heart. The other party's actions also meant that the relationship between him and Zhu Yu was getting closer unknowingly.
The whole month of May was so unknowingly busy, and it passed quickly. By the time Xu Kong had some leisure time, there was not much left.
Although he was very busy with work during this period, Xu Kong still planned his time well.
During the day when he was working or at Fengge, he would accompany Song Youyou, and from time to time he would act in some exciting plots at his request.
When I go home at night, because I live in the same community as Su Zhi, I can guarantee that we can see each other most of the time.
When I was at Fengge's headquarters, I always went to Zhu Yu's office during my lunch break.
As for Shang Yuxin, Xu Kong was completely passive, running to his studio whenever he had the chance.
On the surface, it was for work. After all, Fairy Sword was about to be broadcast, and as one of the leading actors, it was indeed no problem for the other party to come to Xu Kong.
But in fact, from time to time, Xu Kong still has to deliberately seduce and tease Xu Kong while talking.
That is to say, because there are too many things to do, Xu Kong is too lazy to continue teaching the other party.
Otherwise, how could Shang Green Tea be allowed to become more and more unscrupulous.
The kiwi fruit side is also not idle.
In addition to trampling on him, he also started to dig up dirty information about Xu Kong.
However, Xu Kong's debut time was too short.
The only thing that can be used to make a fuss is the talent show where he debuted.
Xu Kong's singing skills were worrisome at the beginning, and his stage performance had no bright spots at all.
Indeed, it was only through the relationship with the investors of Fengqing Entertainment that I was finally able to win the championship and debut in the C position.
That's right, Xu Kong is actually the captain of a domestic entertainment boy group.
There is still no official announcement of dissolution.
The people who formed the group were all the players from that draft.
When the show actually ended less than a month later, the boy band had already ceased to exist in name only.
The members even have different brokerage companies, and the producer has no intention of actually running it. What follows is almost the familiar story of life having dreams, each of which is wonderful.
Xu Kong is naturally the most successful person in the entire group.
Some other people were either completely confused, or they were involved in lawsuits with their own brokerage companies. In summary, the whole thing was a piece of cake.
But Qi Guo is also considered a genius, and they actually gathered the other six members of the group except Xu Kong.
I went to a certain interview variety show created by their platform.
These people got together, whether it was due to their own jealousy or Kiwi Guo's deliberate guidance.
Anyway, although Xu Kong was never mentioned formally from beginning to end, he spent most of the time blaming him.
This incident will not have any substantial impact on Xu Kong.
Even the so-called negative rumors were like that, but they really made Xu Kong feel sick.
"What are you thinking about?"
As someone who has followed Xu Kong as a manager since his debut, Guo Zihao naturally knows most of the inside story.
In fact, the so-called shady information about Xu Kong's bad temper, withdrawn personality, etc.
Well, it’s all true, I really can’t refute it.
Because at the beginning, Xu Kong really had no professional ability except being handsome, and his personality was quite withdrawn and irritable.
During the recording of the show, I had conflicts with many people and almost got involved.
However, after his debut, Xu Kong's temper softened a lot, and by April or May last year, he suddenly seemed like a different person.
Guo Zihao saw all of this.
"I'm thinking, shouldn't I invite the entire group to come over?"
"Why didn't I, the captain, receive the invitation?"
Guo Zihao looked at Xu Kong with great interest and didn't know what to say for a moment.
If Xu Kong was really invited, he felt that this guy might really be able to fight with the scholars by himself.
And it's the kind of thing that doesn't affect his public image at all and leaves people speechless.
"Aren't we going to respond?"
Guo Zihao ignored Xu Kong's unrealistic idea.
Based on the current relationship between Xu Kong and Qi Guo, it is estimated that Xu Kong will not appear in any program on the opposite platform in the future.
"Nothing to respond to."
Xu Kong shook his head.
Qi Guo probably thought that doing something like this would disgust him or affect his own mentality.
It's very likely that the person on the other side is waiting for him to take the initiative to respond.
But probably no one would have thought that although Xu Kong had that memory, he would never put it into it.
The person who experienced that at that time was not him, so he could treat it with a fun attitude.
In addition, let alone the current Xu Kong, even half a year ago, he was still a young newcomer who could barely squeeze into the top ranks of domestic entertainment, and there was no way he would respond to such a thing.
According to the thinking of a traffic star, his old teammates are more confused than the last.
How can you give the other party the opportunity to take advantage of your traffic?
When the time came to the end of May, Xu Kong could only lament that time passed too fast.
In the blink of an eye, he has traveled through time for a year.
At present, it seems that although it is different from his original plan, I have to say that he is still quite satisfied.
Xu Kong had actually planned to quit the circle at the beginning. After all, he had enough experience in the previous life, and he didn't want to really do it again.
So at the beginning, he almost muddle along without thinking about changing anything.
But later, Xu Kong found that he seemed to be quite adaptable to a place like the entertainment industry.
Moreover, he had successfully transformed in his last life, acted in so many dramas, and was finally able to become a reasonably qualified actor. However, his career ended immediately, which was indeed a bit disappointing.
Then he gradually started to cheer up and finally stopped acting badly.
So far, it seems that the progress is relatively smooth.
Although he has not completely gotten rid of the label of traffic idol, he is still on a different path from his previous life.
And
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Zhi's voice came, interrupting Xu Kong's memories.
After glancing at the expressionless Su Zhi, Xu Kong smiled and shook his head.
"Nothing."
Moreover, he felt concerned about this world and was finally able to slowly integrate into it.
No more feeling like I don't belong here.
"Half a year has passed. Do what you said back then still count?"
Su Zhi asked.
At this time, the two of them were in Su Zhi's personal studio.
Yuan Yinan, who was not far away, had been looking at him from time to time since he arrived from Xu Kong.
"What words?"
Xu Kong asked subconsciously.
Then he saw Su Zhi staring at him, and then he remembered.
Last year, he promised the other party to help produce a new album.
Seeing that we are already halfway through this year, it seems that there is indeed no progress.
"Just kidding, how could I not remember."
Xu Kong quickly said with a smile.
But looking at Su Zhi's expression, it was obvious that she didn't trust his words.
"I never told you, mainly because I wanted to give you a surprise."
"Actually, I've almost written all the songs for your new album"
Xu Kong said nonsense without any guilt.
After Su Zhi heard Xu Kong's words, there was a rare interest in her eyes.
For her, apart from Xu Kong, the only thing that might interest her is music.
"Don't lie to me."
Xu Kong nodded firmly.
"Of course not!"
Not far away, Yuan Yinan had been staring at Xu Kong and Su Zhi.
In fact, she had already suspected that even though they had a good relationship, the two of them were a little too close.
Moreover, Su Zhi has not had many friends in this industry for so many years. Xu Kong's existence is too special.
Not to mention that Su Zhi insisted on moving the studio to the capital, and immediately asked Xu Kong for help.
If she really couldn't find any more clues, it would be a bit too fake.
But Yuan Yinan herself was a little hesitant. From a personal perspective, in her opinion, Su Zhi was a relatively pure person. Apart from music, she had almost no other interests or social circle.
Xu Kong's appearance made her a little worried that Su Zhi would be deceived or injured.
But from the perspective of the studio, if Xu Kong can continue to help Su Zhi write songs, it is definitely good news that even needs to be celebrated.
