Chapter 179 It would be better if Xu Kong didn’t think about himself
After singing "Scoundrel", Fat Bird was very excited.
"Yang Jiangjie did a great job!"
He said almost without thinking.
If Yang Jiangjie hadn't appeared, Xu Kong's new song would have been released.
Now it seems that although Yang Jiangjie is not a fat bird, he doesn't like him very much.
But judging from the results, the other party did do a good thing.
"But I feel that Xu Kong is a little unclear about the lyrics of this song."
Fat Bird thought of Xu Kong's behavior in changing the topic on the show just now when he was asked who Su Zhi or Song Youyou liked more.
It seemed like he was coping well at the time.
But why does this new song called "Scoundrel" make people feel that he has become a scumbag?
"Of course, if you look at the quality of the song itself."
"Yang Jiangjie is so different."
"Originally, after Yang Jiangjie's performance, everyone should have felt that his Cantonese song was pretty good."
"But after Xu Kong finished singing, if he thought about it carefully, did he have almost no impression of the new songs on Yang Jiangjie's show?"
Although Fat Bird was a little biased towards Xu Kong, what he said really made many people in the live broadcast room unable to refute.
If I were to pick Yang Jiangjie's song, I can't actually find much fault with it. It is definitely a Cantonese song of good quality.
But after Xu Kong finished singing, Yang Jiangjie's song almost seemed a bit too mediocre, without even basic memory points.
"Don't worry, even though Xu Kong belongs to Fengge, we, Jiying, definitely surpass each other in terms of public opinion."
At this time, Jiying Media, as one of the largest media companies in the country, has gathered a large number of high-quality musicians.
The number of singers and queens alone reached a terrifying dozen.
However, even Jiying Media still values Yang Jiangjie, a newcomer who has just graduated from the Conservatory of Music.
The managers assigned to her are all top-notch in the industry. They have brought out two singing kings and more first-line singers than you can count on two hands.
"I believe in the company!"
"I just want a fair evaluation."
Yang Jiangjie nodded and replied.
After recording the show, he has realized that when the show is broadcast, there is a high probability that netizens will compare him with Xu Kong.
After all, both of them were originally rated as one of the so-called top four newcomers on the Internet, and this time they both sang a new song of their own.
It's definitely a comparison.
Of course, for him, Yang Jiangjie was completely unconvinced that he had always been suppressed by Xu Kong.
Just like the two songs he and Xu Kong sang on the show.
In Yang Jiangjie's opinion, his song must be better.
……
As for why he thinks his songs are better, Yang Jiangjie still wants the company's help to control reviews and manipulate public opinion after the show is broadcast.
The reasons he gave were lessons learned.
Because he believed that the previous marketing accounts all gave Xu Kong a higher rating than him, and they were all marketing purchased by Xu Kong's company or himself.
So for this new show, he chose to strike first.
Lest Xu Kong deliberately manipulate the direction of public opinion and become very passive.
"How was it?"
Time passed by, and Yang Jiangjie asked worriedly as he saw his agent's expression looked a little strange.
"Did Xu Kong buy too many trolls and marketing accounts?"
Yang Jiangjie guessed that at this time, the Internet would most likely criticize Xu Kong's articles or videos and then criticize him.
When he thought of this, he felt angry. Wasn't it just because he had many fans, high popularity, and early debut?
Xu Kong didn't even dare to compete with him openly?
"See for yourself."
The manager didn't know how to explain it, so he could only silently hand Yang Jiangjie his cell phone with the hot search on Weibo open.
# Xu Kong《Scoundrel》#
# affectionate scumbag lyrics#
#松Youyou or Su Zhi, who will you choose? #
From the hot search terms, it can be seen that they are all related to Xu Kong.
But at the same time, his name didn't appear at all.
Even when they clicked on the comments inside, no one paid any attention to the comparison between their own songs and those of Xu Kong.
"Don't tell me, even though the lyrics are all quotes from scumbags, it's actually hard for people to feel disgusted."
"Xukong's new song is really amazing. It's definitely the first time that he can say these scumbag quotes so affectionately."
"Isn't this song Xu Kong's response to the question of who to choose between Song Youyou and Su Zhi?"
"It's just a song, doesn't it rise to the level of Xu Kong himself?"
“But if it’s Xu Kong, it doesn’t seem like it’s okay to let him scumbag a little bit.”
No, no!
Why is it completely different from what I thought.
Why can't he understand a word of what these netizens are focusing on and discussing?
"Sister Xia, what's going on?"
Yang Jiangjie couldn't help but look at his agent and asked.
Agent Liu Xia is relatively calm.
"It seems your worries are unnecessary."
When Yang Jiangjie came back, he looked serious. Liu Xia also paid great attention to it and prepared for a long time in advance.
In the end, he found that he had been completely deceived by Yang Jiangjie.
His speculation that the Internet would definitely disparage him and praise Xu Kong did not happen at all.
Because most of the viewers watching the show and netizens on the Internet seemed to have never paid attention to Yang Jiangjie.
"Then let's do it now"
Yang Jiangjie was a little confused. He had never experienced such a situation before.
The anger and other emotions that were filled with him before now no longer even have a place to vent.
"Nothing can be done."
"Just stay there, it has nothing to do with you now."
Liu Xia replied helplessly.
At this moment, she felt that Yang Jiangjie was the one who was deceived by those marketing accounts on the Internet.
I always felt that I shouldn't be suppressed by Xu Kong.
But in fact, Yang Jiangjie's popularity and popularity are not at the same level as Xu Kong's.
Or to put it harshly, Ji Ying was able to sign Yang Jiangjie thanks to Xu Kong.
If the outside world hadn't kept comparing the two together, allowing Yang Jiangjie to get caught up in Xu Kong's popularity, he would not have been as popular as he is now as a person who debuted less than half a year ago.
Even if they really release a very good quality album, there are still a few hit singles in it.
But there is a high probability that the situation is still the common one where people are popular but not popular.
Yang Jiangjie was indeed a little shocked.
Especially when I saw that Xu Kong’s new song "Scoundrel" directly succeeded in ranking first on various charts on music platforms.
But the songs on the same show didn't even get much attention.
No one cared about him at all.
The number of comments is not even over a thousand so far.
It is really difficult to accept such a sense of gap.
But it's understandable, after all, the first album has received such high attention, and the reputation and reviews are also very good.
Let Yang Jiangjie's starting point be a little too high.
But in fact, most musicians release many songs that no one cares about.
In this era, if a song wants to be popular, there are too many factors that are necessary.
This is the truest status quo of the industry.
As for Xu Kong at this time, he was feeling a little unhappy. Mainly because he didn't expect that after the show was aired, netizens would stir up so much interest.
"Director Xu, how can you write lyrics so affectionately even though you are such a scumbag?"
Even Feng Ziyan couldn't help but asked curiously.
The main reason is that she also knows that those in Xu Kong's lyrics must be the behavior of a scumbag.
But after listening to the song, she unexpectedly liked it.
If something happens during this period, I will listen to it by myself on the crew.
"Don't talk nonsense"
Xu Kong indeed ignored the problems of this era.
When this song was released in the last life, the word scumbag didn't even exist.
Who knew that in this life, it could cause so many unnecessary topics and rhythms.
Feng Ziyan teased her from time to time, but Xu Kong didn't take it to heart.
His main task now is to make things clear to Song Youyou and Su Zhi.
On Song Youyou's side, before Xu Kong could take the initiative to speak, the other party came over and asked.
Fortunately, Youyou is still very easy to coax.
It's nothing more than an online marketing account that deliberately has a rhythm. The song is just a song, and it has nothing to do with him personally. Don't overdo it.
But on Su Zhi's side, it was so easy.
Su Zhi didn't listen to the same rhetoric at all.
Instead, he replied: "It doesn't matter, I volunteered."
This sentence made Xu Kong feel even more guilty.
Su Zhi definitely knew about him and Song Youyou, and even helped Xu Kong avoid each other every time.
However, this seemingly dangerous crisis was solved so easily.
It still surprised Xu Kong.
"Eat less!"
"You still have several scenes left."
Entering September, the filming of "The Long Season" has been completed for almost two-thirds.
Seeing Feng Ziyan holding the fried chicken and eating it with gusto, Xu Kong couldn't help but remind her.
"Don't worry, director, I have the kind of physique that won't make me fat."
Feng Ziyan is a real foodie, and she has an amazing appetite.
Xu Kong had gained a lot of experience since he first joined the team during lunch.
However, for the sake of the character's figure and image, Xu Kong has been deliberately controlling Feng Ziyan's breakfast, lunch and dinner for more than a month.
The other party still has the last few scenes, which are almost finished.
Under Feng Ziyan's pleading, Xu Kong agreed to let the other party indulge for a while.
"Director, do you want it?"
Looking at the last piece in the packaging box, Feng Ziyan hesitated for a moment and handed it to Xu Kong.
Although it was a question, the reluctance in his words was still very obvious.
Xu Kong didn't think much and subconsciously prepared to take it, but found that he couldn't hold it at all.
When he looked down, he realized that Feng Ziyan was still holding the box of fried chicken tightly.
He looked at himself with somewhat pitiful eyes.
"Forget it, I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."
Xu Kong said helplessly.
"Thank you, director!"
Feng Ziyan suddenly smiled and continued eating.
"Eat slowly."
Xu Kong couldn't help but remind him.
There was nothing he could do about it. After getting along with her for this period of time, he had gained some understanding of Feng Ziyan, a rebellious girl.
Obviously, with such a frizzy personality, it is really difficult to calm down and go to school.
Xu Kong felt that the reason why Feng Yuan put her into his crew was simply because the family was afraid that she would run around and cause trouble.
On the contrary, Xu Kong himself misunderstood and thought that Feng Yuan really planned to insert a female protagonist into his crew.
But people also said at the time that if you didn't pass the audition, you would be given a role with a limited role.
Probably because Feng Ziyan herself would not be willing to come if it was just for a supporting role.
I might as well let her audition for the leading role, and then switch her to some other supporting roles.
But Feng Yuan, the CEO of Penguin, most likely did not expect that Feng Ziyan unexpectedly had a very high acting talent.
Xu Kong really gave the other party the role of the heroine Shen Mo.
After a few days, Feng Ziyan's role was finally finalized.
After the last scene, according to the tradition of the crew, director Xu Kong handed the other party a bouquet of flowers.
Then there is the photo session with other actors and actresses from the crew.
"After the filming is completed, can I leave?"
Feng Ziyan asked Xu Kong in a low voice.
Xu Kong nodded.
"You won't have any role to play in the future."
“But I still have to keep the phone open, because I’m not sure if there will be any more reshoots.”
Xu Kong's role was actually finalized earlier.
After all, there are only so many scenes. It is almost the end of the entire drama at this time, and the rest is almost all about the threesome in the modern timeline.
But as a director, he definitely couldn't leave directly.
I have to stay until the whole drama is finished filming.
"But I think it's interesting for the crew to be here. I'll have nothing to do when I go back."
Feng Ziyan spoke melancholy.
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.
He felt that he still had to communicate with Feng Yuan first.
If the family agrees, there is really no problem for Feng Ziyan to continue to stay on the set.
"Then please, Director Xu, let her stay on the crew for a while."
When Feng Yuan heard Xu Kong's words, he spoke without hesitation.
"Okay, you just stay on the set."
"But don't run around, and don't affect our normal shooting."
Within this month, "The Long Season" is expected to be completed smoothly, so Xu Kong reminded him.
"Absolutely no problem!"
Feng Ziyan happily agreed.
Although Feng Ziyan did make some noise, it has to be said that it did play a role in livening up the atmosphere on the set.
After all, almost the entire show is made up of older actors.
Although it would not be said to be lifeless, it is definitely different to have such a young and talkative pretty girl.
In comparison, Feng Ziyan also quite likes director Xu Kong.
After all, the two of them are of the same age, so getting along with each other is not as stressful as some of the other actors in their thirties and forties on the crew.
But she was still on guard.
In Feng Ziyan's own words, it would be better if Xu Kong didn't think about himself.
