Chapter 197 "The Long Season" is scheduled
Yu Yaqing directly gave her the equity of Fengqing Entertainment, which Xu Kong had never thought of.
Although there are so-called conditions.
But it was nothing more than asking him to help Feng Qing film the drama.
In fact, his own salary and income sharing will not be greatly affected.
In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that this 20% share is almost given away for free.
Xu Kong subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But Yu Yaqing said:
"Don't refuse, you know what I think"
Xu Kong could also understand what Yu Yaqing said.
In addition to Xu Kong's willingness to help, this equity agreement also contains an apology from the other party for giving up Xu Kong's contract.
Of course, in addition to this, Yu Yaqing, who has regained her fighting spirit at this time, must also have other purposes.
She believed that the thing she regretted most since she established Fengqing Entertainment was selling Xu Kong's contract to Feng Ge.
Whether it was emotionally or commercially, this decision has always been difficult for her to let go of.
Now it is almost impossible to bring Xu Kong back to Fengqing Entertainment.
The only thing she could do was to tie Xu Kong and Fengqing Entertainment together as much as possible.
Apart from the relationship between the two, the most reliable thing is actually the more direct shares.
Although it seemed like a loss, Yu Yaqing didn't feel that she had made a loss-making transaction.
Just considering Xu Kong's future potential, she would make the same choice even if she had no personal relationship with Xu Kong.
It's just that the shares that may be given won't be that high.
Xu Kong finally signed the agreement.
After everything was finalized, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter again.
But the last time he came, it felt like it was not the right time. When he heard that Yu Yaqing was planning to disband Fengqing Entertainment, Xu Kong didn't react for a while.
This time when I come here, after business is done, of course I still have to miss my life at Fengqing Entertainment.
Especially the single room lounge in Yu Yaqing's office.
Although it can be seen that it has not been used for a long time since Xu Kong left, the comfort level is still very satisfactory.
I have to say that this made Xu Kong even more determined about the unreasonable design of Feng Ge's office.
There isn't even a proper rest room.
Although it is a different experience to sit on a desk or sofa, it is definitely not as comfortable as a serious bed.
"Leaving next week?"
The blush on her face had not disappeared, and while she was taking off another pair of horribly torn stockings, Yu Yaqing asked.
"Well, we'll go back after the investment fair at Penguin is over."
Xu Kong nodded.
When he came to Hangzhou this time, there was actually not much work at Penguin Video.
Instead, he and Mr. Yu spent most of the time reminiscing about old times and exchanging feelings.
Of course, although the work content is different, it still consumes a lot of "energy".
"Follow-up dramas invested by Fengqing should wait until the drama I did at Penguin is finished."
Yu Yaqing was not surprised by this and nodded.
"It just depends on your time"
After coming out of Fengqing Entertainment, Xu Kong went directly to the headquarters of Penguin Video.
“This investment fair was not as smooth as expected.”
In the vice president's office, Zeng Xi couldn't help but sigh.
“But it’s still within the acceptable range.”
A normal investment fair will invite many media and reporters, including many advertisers, as well as the crew and creators of some new dramas, etc.
But actually this part is just a formality.
In fact, by the time of the follow-up formal investment meeting, the corresponding cooperation has already been finalized. This time, the contacts with major brands in advance were not so smooth.
In Penguin's investment promotion fair in the fourth quarter of this year, Xu Kong's "The Long Season" was definitely the most popular and the most favored by the brand.
But after the advance screening, "The Long Season," which was originally a hit, was no longer so popular.
There is no way, the customized plot advertisement has been cancelled.
This has made many brands feel hesitant.
After watching the first few episodes of "The Long Season", many people were dissuaded.
The pace is too slow!
The quality of the show, including the cast, art style and other aspects, is nothing to say, and it can be felt very clearly.
But the pace of the show is too slow, and the style of the show is too slow, so it really doesn't look like a hit show.
Brands don't care about the reputation of the drama at all. What's really most valuable is the actual data and the popularity of the drama.
"If the director hadn't been Xu Kong, it would have been even more difficult to attract investment for this drama."
Producer Ding Decong also commented.
Xu Kong’s Summer Sword is definitely a super hit.
And all kinds of data are quite exaggerated.
With the success of Fairy Sword, no matter how Xu Kong's new drama is made, there will still be no shortage of advertisers willing to buy it.
"In addition to the plot itself, the main reason is that the starring role is not Xu Kong"
Zeng Xi also analyzed some other reasons.
It is different from the previous "Want to See You" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
In "The Long Season", although Xu Kong also participated as an actor, he actually only had one scene and not much supporting role.
The main scenes are still focused on the two best actors, Chen Shuang and Guan Hua.
Although Chen Shuang and Guan Hua, as movie kings, may even be more famous and famous than Xu Kong.
But in terms of business, especially in the current TV drama market, Xu Kong's own commercial value is unique.
"But this time it is just to build up the reputation of suspense theater, so this result is acceptable."
Zeng Xi consoled himself.
Although the investment in "The Long Season" is not low, it is definitely not possible to lose money.
After all, most of it is recovered from advertisers alone.
With the quality of this drama, even if it tries again, it will still be able to recover its costs by relying on its reputation.
It’s nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.
The rate of return is definitely not as good as the original Fairy Sword.
But their goal of penguin video was also achieved.
Most projects cannot be completely perfect in all aspects.
"Mr. Zeng, Teacher Xu Kong is here"
The assistant came over and spoke.
Ding Decong said very discerningly and left first.
"Director Xu, the specific broadcast time of "The Long Season" has been decided."
Seeing Xu Kong, Zeng Xi took the initiative to tell the most crucial news.
Although there has been no official announcement yet, after the investment promotion is completed, the broadcast time will naturally be finalized.
"On November 1st, we will coordinate with your assistant and studio operations on relevant publicity matters."
When Xu Kong heard the time, he nodded and said he had no objection.
There is still almost half a month left.
In fact, according to his original plan, the show should be aired around the beginning of next year.
It’s just that the progress of this shooting was indeed much faster than expected.
