Chapter 196 Fengqing Entertainment comes back to life
Although Huayi is still the same person in charge as before, the changes have indeed been much bigger than before.
This woman in her forties did not tease Xu Kong intentionally or unintentionally this time. Instead, she kept saying "Teacher Xu Kong" and showed great respect.
Guo Zihao also stood up.
When I first discussed cooperation with Huayi, my attitude was so low.
Most of the conditions proposed by the other party can be agreed to almost "no problem" throughout the process.
Now, Guo Zihao has taken the initiative.
What was said the most was, "We need to think about it again."
"It seems that I was a little too nervous at the beginning."
“I always feel that people at Huayi are very oppressive.”
"The result seems to be nothing more than this now."
After the discussion with Huayi was over, Guo Zihao couldn't help but speak in the car leaving.
At that time, Huayi was too strong and there was almost no room for negotiation.
Guo Zihao once doubted his business ability.
Most of the negotiation skills I learned before are completely useless.
But in this meeting, it was Guo Zihao who controlled the pace of the negotiations in his own hands throughout the entire process.
He naturally felt relieved and relieved.
"Don't be poor, you can help me politely refuse to them in two days."
Xu Kong said.
Guo Zihao was stunned for a moment.
"We won't renew the contract?"
He felt that his performance just now was quite good.
Huayi originally extended the contract for five years, but he directly reduced it to three years.
In terms of endorsement fees, compared to the previous low price of 15 million, this time it is almost 180 million.
Although the contract is for three years, the average endorsement fee is 60 million per year, which is definitely the top endorsement fee in the industry.
"Huayi currently does not match my current positioning"
Xu Kong said helplessly.
He is definitely no longer a traffic idol who needs high-end luxury brands to increase his worth.
Especially as a professional actor who will play some roles in the future, such a luxury brand endorsement can easily make the audience feel that he is acting out.
And when it comes to endorsement fees alone, the prices offered by Huayi are easily obtainable from other brands.
In comparison, this is completely unnecessary.
On the contrary, choosing some brands that are more friendly to the people will be more beneficial to Xu Kong's current image.
"Okay."
Guo Zihao was also a little helpless.
He had just been talking there for a long time, and he always felt that he hoped to get better conditions.
The result now seems to be a bit wasted.
Although she said she was preparing to dissolve the company, Yu Yaqing still hasn't started to implement it during this period.
Xu Kong could feel that the other party was obviously unable to let go.
After all, it was her own hard work for so many years, and Yu Yaqing was obviously used to this busy pace of life.
"Mr. Yu, why don't you think about it again?"
Looking at Yu Yaqing who was still busy in front of the computer after returning home, Xu Kong couldn't help but say something.
"What?"
It took Yu Yaqing a while to react.
Xu Kong shook his head helplessly.
"Nothing."
Yu Yaqing came over and kissed Xu Kong, and then said:
"Be good, I'll give it to you later when I'm done."
"I'm planning to retire, so let's take a little rest"
Xu Kong simply closed Yu Yaqing's laptop.
"Wait."
Although Yu Yaqing said two words, Xu Kong obviously had no intention of paying attention.
After feeling the scalding temperature, Yu Yaqing gave up her struggle, and then glanced at Xu Kong helplessly, as if to say, "I really can't do anything with you"!
Then she knelt down next to the sofa and skillfully stretched out her hands to tie her long hair back.
Xu Kong couldn't help but closed his eyes and relaxed on the sofa.
"Hand me the computer."
After dealing with Xu Kong, Yu Yaqing sat back to her original position and spoke.
Xu Kong did not refuse.
Just looking at Yu Yaqing sitting cross-legged on the sofa, he immediately picked up her feet wearing black stockings.
I have to say that judging from his leg skills alone, Mr. Yu definitely has a very high level of talent.
After feeling Xu Kong's movements, Yu Yaqing was still staring at the computer screen and looking at the information, but her feet had already begun to move.
And not only can she do two things at once, Yu Yaqing can even judge Xu Kong's status based on the feel of her feet and control the appropriate rhythm at the same time.
I don’t know how long it’s been
Just when Xu Kong gradually felt that he had reached the edge of his limit.
Yu Yaqing's black stockinged foot suddenly stepped down hard and locked it directly.
Then, with Xu Kong's somewhat confused eyes, the other party finally put down the notebook in his hand.
"It's finally done!"
She said casually.
Then he stood up directly on the sofa.
Xu Xiaokong kicked Xu Xiaokong a little bit angrily and said, "Why are you still so energetic?"
Then he "sat" down.
"Mr. Yu, why don't you consider retiring in the future?"
On the sofa, Yu Yaqing, who was still unconscious but had not yet recovered, finally heard Xu Kong's words clearly this time.
She was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
Xu Kong thought for a while before continuing:
"If you are interested in letting Fengqing Entertainment develop into the film and television industry, you don't actually have to think about cultivating your own team from the beginning."
“There’s nothing wrong with being an investor first, and just hire people from outside for the rest of the positions.”
The reason why Fengqing Entertainment's two major investment dramas suffered consecutive losses was.
In fact, the script has big problems in every aspect.
But Xu Kong believes that the most critical thing is that Yu Yaqing is too eager to achieve success.
We have signed a lot of directors, screenwriters and the like.
As a result, Fengqing Entertainment's investment budget in this area has reached a very high level, and the risk is completely concentrated on itself.
In addition, he did not have much experience, so the scripts written by the contracted screenwriters were unreliable.
The final result was actually expected.
Obviously, Yu Yaqing can now listen to what Xu Kong said.
It's just that the situation is far more complicated than Xu Kong imagined.
“It’s not like I haven’t tried inviting people from outside, but there are too few suitable candidates.”
Perhaps the directors, screenwriters, actors, etc. who were signed last time were a little too taken for granted.
After that, she was already a little bit shy.
In the film and television industry, there are a large number of people who do not live up to their names.
Even for some well-known directors, there is still a huge risk of overturning.
And after the investment failure of two previous dramas, Fengqing Entertainment has almost become a joke in the film and television industry. Just seeking cooperation is a problem, let alone whether other platforms are willing to purchase the copyrights for subsequent dramas.
"If you choose, what do you think of me?"
After Yu Yaqing finished speaking, she didn't expect that Xu Kong would suddenly speak again.
Not to mention, others may not, but with Xu Kong’s current reputation and ability, there are many capital parties willing to invest.
Fengqing Entertainment, which is not big or small, can't get its turn no matter what. Yu Yaqing's expression was a little complicated at this time.
The main reason is that she herself never thought that Xu Kong would be willing to help her like this.
"But."
Xu Kong sighed helplessly.
"Mr. Yu, if you are unwilling to leave like this, I think there is no need to hesitate."
He could clearly see that although Yu Yaqing said she was giving up and preparing to retire.
But in fact, given the other party's character and the energy and emotion he has invested in Fengqing Entertainment for so many years, he is definitely reluctant to part with him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to prepare for disbandment and still spend so much time on company matters every day.
It's nothing more than unwillingness, but there is no good solution.
But if he is willing to help, for Fengqing Entertainment, the road that was almost blocked before seems to have new opportunities.
"Of course, the fee I want is very high."
"We are discussing business in this regard."
Xu Kong added very seriously.
But Yu Yaqing could tell that Xu Kong's words were just to reduce her psychological burden.
After all, given Xu Kong's current popularity and the results of his two previous hit dramas, no matter how high the asking price is, there are still investors who will buy it.
On the contrary, being willing to choose Fengqing Entertainment is already a huge favor.
"Thank you."
Rarely, Yu Yaqing took the initiative to say a word of thanks.
"Mr. Yu, you are a little over the top, and I have already received the gift of thanks."
After pinching it gently, Xu Kong said with a smile.
"Then wait for me"
Yu Yaqing suddenly remembered something, then quickly got out of Xu Kong's arms and ran towards her bedroom with bare feet.
Just when Xu Kong was confused, Yu Yaqing appeared again wearing a set of eye-catching black stockings.
"Hiss~"
Xu Kong admired it carefully for a while and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
This designer is simply too talented.
Not to mention the ingenuity of suspenders, hollows, and lace.
What's more important is that the mysterious and attractive hazy feeling that seems to be exposed but not exposed is well done.
In the past few days since Xu Kong's arrival, the most consumed item at Yu Yaqing's house may have been all kinds of silk stockings.
But this time the style was indeed something he had never seen before.
"Is this more sincere?"
Yu Yaqing held her hands on the sofa, looked down at Xu Kong below, and asked with a charming look.
As for Xu Kong at this time, the fire has been completely ignited.
Yu Yaqing has been hiding such a good thing, so she must be taught a lesson.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Fengqing Entertainment, Song Peiyu found that Xu Kong had looked at him, and couldn't help but feel a little angry.
I always feel like the other party is up to something.
"Nothing."
Xu Kong shook his head lightly.
Then he stood up and walked to Song Peiyu's side, patting him on the shoulder.
"You should thank me properly"
Song Peiyu was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Why?"
He asked subconsciously.
However, Xu Kong did not answer, but turned around and left.
He couldn't help but complain: "You must be sick!"
Xu Kong was free today and came to Fengqing Entertainment again.
What he said just now, he really didn't say it casually.
Song Peiyu probably doesn't know either. If it weren't for Xu Kong, he would probably be unemployed now.
After Fengqing Entertainment's last massive expansion and preparations to enter the film and television industry, it has not yet fully recovered.
But fortunately, some of the original businesses have not completely disappeared, but have already passed the crisis period.
However, almost all of the large number of film and television employees recruited at the beginning, including contracted directors, screenwriters, actors, etc., were laid off.
This aspect is understandable.
After all, after that incident, it was definitely impossible to continue investing in new drama and film projects in a short period of time.
The remaining people have become an unnecessary burden on the company.
It is also a good thing to give up early.
Moreover, the business capabilities of that group of people are relatively average, so Yu Yaqing may be dissatisfied herself.
However, this has also caused that the current Fengqing Entertainment has almost returned to the starting point.
And this second time, it is much more difficult to develop into the film and television industry again.
If we really want to reinvest in new dramas, then almost everything will have to be found from outside.
Almost everything is completely beyond one's control.
Risks are greatly increased.
And it is difficult to accumulate your own team.
"Are you here?"
After Yu Yaqing saw Xu Kong, she took the initiative to speak.
"I have something to discuss with you."
Yu Yaqing at this time has obviously changed significantly from a few days ago.
The Buddhist state has been reduced a lot, as if he has returned to the career-focused Mr. Yu that Xu Kong is familiar with.
"It just so happens that I also have something to say."
Xu Kong said.
Then he took the initiative to mention it.
"I took a look and found that the current Fengqing Entertainment has too few talent reserves in film and television."
“We still need to recruit some of the company’s own people.”
"But don't worry about the new drama. I will communicate with Feng Ge and use their people to film it. Feng Qing only needs to pay."
"When the time comes, those new people recruited by Feng Qing can come to my crew to intern."
Since he decided to help, Xu Kong simply sent Buddha to the west.
These are definitely not difficult for him now.
And with Feng Ge's status and size, he definitely wouldn't care too much about such business cooperation.
After all, Feng Ge, the suspense theater that previously cooperated with Penguin Video, also had similar mercenary-like practices.
For him personally, in fact, he received a fixed share of the dramas invested by Feng Ge or Feng Qing, so he did not suffer much loss.
At most it's just a little troublesome.
"Just do what you think."
Yu Yaqing listened carefully to Xu Kong's suggestion and nodded after thinking it was okay.
"I'm done."
Xu Kong thought for a while, and after finding nothing missing, he looked at Yu Yaqing.
"This is a Fengqing equity transfer agreement"
Under Xu Kong's somewhat surprised gaze, Yu Yaqing pushed the document in her hand towards him.
"Don't refuse in a hurry, there are also relevant contract conditions."
"I hope you can help Feng Qing film three dramas that we have invested in in the next five years."
"As for the theme of the play, the scale of investment, the specific actors, etc., it is up to you, the director, to decide."
