Chapter 198 Why didn’t Xu Kong release a new song this time?

Chapter 198 Why didn’t Xu Kong release a new song this time?

"Is the news accurate?"

Qin Xian didn't know how many times he asked such a question today.

"I have asked many people who participated in the Penguin Investment Promotion Conference, and I can basically confirm it."

Huang Qifeng was also a little helpless.

But when he first got the news, he didn't quite believe it.

Mainly because it is Xu Kong's new drama, how could it not be so popular with brands in terms of investment?

"Then Mr. Qin, for our new drama in Season 4, should we avoid Xu Kong's new drama?"

No way, this was a decision that Kiwi had made long ago.

Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Now Qiu Guo, after experiencing the doubtful life of being beaten by the fairy sword, not to mention other people, even Qin Xian has begun to be a little timid.

He was really afraid of being beaten.

"Let's wait and see for a while."

Sometimes, the investment process is very smooth, but in fact it does not mean that the show will really become a hit.

vice versa.

But generally speaking, the results of investment promotion for most dramas are quite revealing.

After all, the brand owner is not a fool.

I am definitely more willing to spend money on some dramas that may have better data performance and be more popular.

Even sometimes, the brand's vision is more accurate than that of platforms or professional film and television practitioners.

In fact, it is already the end of the year after all, and the schedule of the last quarter is not that important strictly speaking.

According to the ideas of Qin Xian and some Kiwi executives, it would be okay to just leave it to Penguin in the worst case.

If you can avoid Xu Kong's new drama in this way, it's actually not that difficult to make a choice.

“Let’s wait until their specific schedule comes out first”

Although Qin Xian was subconsciously afraid, he was still a little unwilling.

And it’s unlikely that he’ll be hiding forever.

Is it possible that when every drama produced by Xu Kong is broadcast in the future, they will have to avoid it?

Of course, there are other ways, which is to take the initiative to buy the rights to Xu Kong's new dramas.

But because of Qin Xian's unscrupulous behavior at the beginning, Xu Kong made it clear that he would not cooperate with them in future dramas. This method obviously does not work now.

""The Promise of the Night" is about to end."

"Although this time should allow the originally planned new drama to be picked up, in fact it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."

Qin Xian is much more cautious than before.

Even after receiving news that advertisers were not optimistic about Xu Kong's new drama, he still didn't make too aggressive a decision.

"I know."

Huang Qifeng said.

From the perspective of his subordinate, after what happened during the summer vacation, Qin Xian's temper has not only calmed down a lot, but he has also become less impulsive and aggressive.

This time Penguin's investment fair is actually almost a process.

As the director and starring role, Xu Kong took the stage to answer some questions.

Of course, in addition to him, most of the main creators of "The Long Season" were also present.

For example, Guan Hua and Chen Shuang, the two best actor actors.

In terms of character alone, it is definitely the most luxurious among the Penguin Season 4 dramas.

It's just that although the two of them are movie kings, strictly speaking they have appeared in more literary films. Although they can compete with the box office commercially, their attention is still not as high as that of some movie kings and first-line actors who currently have a box office of over 10 billion or more. .

Guan Hua is fine, and he still appears in some commercial blockbusters from time to time. Although he is a supporting role, he has a lot of roles.

For Chen Shuang, the number of roles he can receive has begun to decline seriously in recent years.

Strictly speaking, the news that two movie stars are coming to star in Xu Kong's new drama will definitely arouse a lot of attention and discussion.

But the real popularity it brings to the show itself is indeed somewhat limited.

It's probably not as good as Xu Kong's own bonus now.

After all, a coffee position is a coffee position, but popularity and popularity are another matter.

Otherwise, we would not see many directors nowadays starting to use some so-called traffic idols to star in their own films.

In fact, the advantages brought by the so-called veteran actors in business are almost negligible.

What itself can guarantee is the acting skills of the character itself.

This is why more and more actors with good acting skills are now in the embarrassing situation of having nothing to play.

"Director Xu, I heard that the heroine of your new drama is a complete newcomer?"

The media in the audience asked.

Xu Kong smiled and replied:

"Yes, even though he is a newcomer, his talent in acting is indeed the highest I have ever seen."

"Yes, she had something more important this time, so she didn't come"

Xu Kong was a little helpless. It was a fact that Feng Ziyan was highly talented.

But to say that she couldn't come because she had something to do was actually an excuse made by Xu Kong.

Because before the investment fair started, Xu Kong specifically contacted Feng Ziyan.

As a result, I found out that the other party had gone on a cycling trip, not to mention attending some investment conference, and couldn't even get through on the phone.

I only got the news from Penguin President Feng Yuan.

Young people are really a little too willful.

Fortunately, although Feng Ziyan is the female lead, she is not the most important role in the entire drama. As long as Guan Hua and Chen Shuang are here, she will not actually have much impact.

"Director Xu, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

After the investment fair ended, Feng Yuan, the president of Penguin Video who was also present, took the initiative to find Xu Kong.

Obviously, it was because of Feng Ziyan.

With the other party's attitude, Xu Kong certainly couldn't say much.

He just waved his hand, indicating that even if Feng Ziyan didn't show up, it wouldn't actually have much impact.

"Director Xu, you just said that Ziyan has acting talent."

However, after apologizing, Feng Yuan did not leave in a hurry, but took the initiative to ask.

Xu Kong didn't intend to lie, and answered truthfully:

"She is indeed quite talented in acting."

Feng Yuan nodded after hearing this.

"Ziyan usually has a lot of time to spare, but this time she joined your crew, she felt a lot more at ease."

"If possible, I'm wondering if she should go to an acting school."

After getting to know each other, Xu Kong also learned that Feng Ziyuan was Feng Yuan's niece.

It seems that the elders in the family have been troubled a lot.

“If you can pass the exam, it’s a good choice.”

Xu Kong said lightly.

It wasn't really a suggestion, it was just something he followed the other person's words.

Feng Yuan took the initiative to come to Xu Kong, just to confirm whether Xu Kong's compliment about his talent just now was just a joke.

Seeing that Xu Kong was indeed serious at this time, he was obviously relieved.

After the investment fair, Xu Kong went to meet Yu Yaqing again.

The other party seemed to have obviously returned to his original energetic self.

Then he went back to the capital directly with Guo Zihao. When he came back this time, Xu Kong keenly discovered that there were indeed many changes in Fengge's headquarters compared to before.

When I was in the artist department, I could meet some seniors in the industry from time to time.

But now, it's almost all new faces.

"Youyou, is it your father's decision to train new people in the company?"

In Xu Kong's personal studio, Song Youyou has recently started to go back to school to prepare for graduation.

During the last period of time in Fengge, of course, I followed Xu Kong almost every step of the way.

"I don't know."

"Maybe so. My father usually doesn't tell me about his work matters."

"But he hasn't changed much lately."

"Oh, by the way, he seems to be obsessed with fishing. Recently, he carries a fishing rod and other things with him every day. He often goes out early and comes back late."

Song Youyou thought for a while, then answered.

It wasn't that Xu Kong was suspicious, it was mainly because he had just received news from Zhu Yu that Feng Ge's efforts in cultivating newcomers this time were indeed a bit too great.

Even a certain tens of millions of endorsements, which were supposed to go to a certain A-list actor under the company, ended up falling into the hands of a newcomer.

Not only Feng Ge, but also the brand side probably spent a lot of effort.

It does seem a little too strange.

"By the way, where's Sister Hong?"

Xu Kong also suddenly remembered something.

Although Lin Hong is just an agent, it is certain that the other party's current authority in Fengge is definitely quite high.

After all, qualifications are still one thing, mainly the relationship with Song Fuquan.

"Sister Hong is on a business trip abroad."

“It seems like I have to go for a long time. I don’t know when I can come back.”

Regarding Lin Hong, Song Youyou knew better.

If Lin Hong hadn't been on a business trip recently, she wouldn't have been able to come to Xu Kong so freely.

"Business trip abroad?"

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.

Then Song Youyou nodded.

"It seems to be something like overseas copyright"

Xu Kong was a little confused.

"Should Sister Hong not be responsible for the company's overseas copyright matters?"

Song Youyou shook his head.

"I don't know that either."

"But before Sister Hong was my agent, it was said that she was indeed responsible for the company's copyright work."

Hearing Song Youyou's words, Xu Kong always felt a little strange.

The main thing is that this thing is a bit too coincidental.

Although it was Song Fuquan who said he wanted resources to be allocated to newcomers, he himself rarely came to the company.

And Lin Hong happened to go abroad again.

Although Xu Kong didn't see it directly, some veteran artists within the company would definitely be dissatisfied if resources were given to newcomers in such a large way.

Although it is not to the level of whining and complaining, it has definitely made many people dissatisfied.

These are not the key. What Xu Kong is most worried about is that Song Fuquan was completely kept in the dark.

"Is your father at home? Can you help me make an appointment?"

Xu Kong thought for a while and decided to ask in person.

In fact, no matter how much Feng Ge has changed, it will not have much impact on him now.

But there is a relationship like Song Youyou in it.

And although she always said she didn't want to see him, Lin Hong had definitely helped a lot secretly from the time he entered the company to now.

Otherwise, the initial establishment and investment of the Fairy Sword Cong project, including various subsequent filmings, would not have been so smooth.

"Then I'll go back and ask him tonight."

Seeing Xu Kong's serious expression, Song Youyou nodded in agreement.

However, the meeting with Song Fuquan has not yet been announced. As for "The Long Season", it has been officially announced.

Xu Kong began to be busy cooperating with Penguin's publicity work.

"The new drama will be aired so soon this time? Xu Kong is too prolific!"

"I feel like I just finished watching Fairy Sword. I didn't expect that it's almost the end of the year in a blink of an eye, but I'm definitely happy to be able to watch Xu Kong's new drama."

"It's actually a suspense theme! I hope it can have the same quality as "Want to See You"."

As soon as the news of the scheduled release was sent out, it took almost half a day to rank at the top of the trending searches on Weibo.

The discussions were absolutely packed.

The main reason is that the popularity of Fairy Sword was so terrifying that it was almost a nationally popular drama.

As the lead actor and director, Xu Kong's new drama this time has attracted such high attention no matter what the subject matter is, and even the relevant trailers have not been released.

Of course, there must be some help from Penguin Video.

"This can be said to be the drama I am most looking forward to at the end of the year!"

After all, there is not much news and he has many fans. As one of the most well-known film and television bloggers, Yiguo simply posted such an update.

Yiguo will not accept promotions from various film and television producers.

And this sentence is also what she says from the bottom of her heart.

"The Long Season" was very low-key in the early stages of project establishment and filming, including the subsequent completion.

However, as the director of the hit drama Sword and Fairy at the time, Xu Kong still had various rumors coming out.

It can be said that Yiguo noticed this show from the beginning.

The main reason is that this time Xu Kong actually invited two movie stars, Guan Hua and Chen Shuang, to film an online drama.

I don’t know how such an operation was successfully accomplished.

And judging from the posters released so far, Guan Hua and Chen Shuang both occupy the most important C positions.

Including the order of actors' names, Xu Kong is ranked first as the director, but in the list of actors behind, there is no doubt that the leading actors are the two best actors, but Xu Kong himself seems to have become a supporting role.

Compared with Xu Kong's two previous dramas, this is a considerable change.

In addition, this drama is also a suspense theater that Penguin attaches great importance to.

"Want to See You", which was Xu Kong's debut novel, is still generally classified as urban love, but it has enough elements about time travel and suspense.

So Yiguo is also looking forward to what kind of script Xu Kong will write if he focuses on filming a suspense-themed drama this time.

"That's not right. The drama has been scheduled. Why didn't Xu Kong release a new song this time?"

"His previous method of releasing the soundtrack in advance to announce the release, why can't he see it this time?"

At the same time, Fat Bird, a music self-media person, is also paying attention to Xu Kong's new drama.

However, he was not very interested in the drama itself, and focused more on the soundtrack of the drama.

After all, whether it was "Want to Meet You" or "Legend of Sword and Fairy", several high-quality soundtracks were used as a means of promotion before they were officially broadcast.

As well as "Ye Wuji" which was just aired not long ago, it can be said that without the theme song written by Xu Kong, it would not have reached such a high level of popularity.

I don’t know why I suddenly gave up on that method this time.
