Chapter 233 The undercurrent within Fengge
"Brother Xu Kong, I miss you so much~"
In the hotel, Song Youyou, who was tired but satisfied, spoke subconsciously.
"Me too..."
Xu Kong gently kissed the other person's forehead.
Although the other party has already proved his words with his own actions.
But compared with Su Zhi's character who doesn't like to talk about these things, Youyou has always been the kind of person who doesn't like to hide her thoughts.
"By the way, your skirt..."
Xu Kong spoke apologetically.
The set Song Youyou wore yesterday was obviously a new attack speed set, and it was obviously seriously damaged at this time.
"It's okay, I originally wore it just for you to see..."
Youyou is quite satisfied with the results of this victory.
Although it was another disastrous defeat this time, I already felt that I had caught Xu Kong's weakness.
It is only a matter of time before we can completely defeat the opponent one day in the future.
……
After all, the Golden Eagle is a major domestic award.
While the popularity is high, peers in the industry also attach great importance to it.
This time both Fairy Sword and "The Long Season" are shortlisted for different awards, and Xu Kong has naturally become the most discussed finalist.
In addition, because the main crew members of the two crews are actually almost the same, and they are all from the current crew of "Sweet Honey", Xu Kong simply extended the subsequent vacation for a few more days. This kind of award ceremony is definitely It is still necessary for other members of the crew to have a certain sense of participation.
Even in the two dramas, Xu Kong is actually the most critical leader. After all, he is the director and screenwriter.
But after all, the show was made by the entire crew.
It is impossible for everyone to work hard together when filming, but when it comes to receiving the award, Xu Kong can enjoy the honor alone.
This can easily make other crew members who have been following Xu Kong filming three movies in a row dissatisfied.
What's quite interesting is that Xu Guangji, the chief photographer of Fairy Sword and "The Long Season", was also shortlisted for the best cinematography award this time with the drama "The Long Season".
And looking at the shortlisted competitors, the probability of winning is quite high.
Xu Guangji suddenly disappeared and announced his withdrawal from the crew of "Sweet Honey". After that, he did not contact Xu Kong or anyone else on the crew.
This time we met at the Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony, and "The Long Season" was nominated. It was indeed a bit embarrassing.
But Xu Kong still wanted to ask the other party face to face.
Before Xu Kong came to Fengge, Xu Guangji actually had no sense of presence in the company or the entire industry.
Xu Kong believed that he was very generous to him. More importantly, although Xu Guangji shot many of the shots, Xu Kong was almost there to guide and give specific execution opinions.
There's no way he doesn't know this.
In other words, without Xu Kong's crew, with Xu Guangji's ability, it is still a question whether he can still produce a hit drama.
Xu Kong still has confidence in this aspect.
But even so, Xu Guangji was transferred to other crews by the vice president Zhu Changyun.
Xu Kong's intention towards him was already quite obvious.
……
As the award ceremony approaches, the crew of "Sweet Honey" are all here.
Including the leading actors Shang Yuxin and Guan Hua also came with them.
"Director Xu, I thought you didn't want to return to the set..."
As soon as Shang Yuxin saw Xu Kong, she spoke charmingly.
Xu Kong did not answer, but gave the other party a look to remind him.
At this time, Shang Yuxin discovered that Song Youyou was also in the room.
She immediately calmed down.
But at this time, Song Youyou was looking at her phone and didn't hear what Shang Yuxin just said.
……
"Sister Yuxin, are you here too?"
Seeing Shang Yuxin, Song Youyou was obviously quite happy.
Compared with Su Zhi, Song Youyou obviously wasn't too wary of Shang Green Tea.
He even always felt that Shang Yuxin was one of the few close friends he had a good relationship with in Fengge.
Of course, Shang Yuxin still behaved quite normally when she wasn't alone with Xu Kong.
The two held hands and talked about old times.
Xu Kong began to pay attention to relevant news on the Internet.
After "Singer" was aired, the popularity was quite high.
But because the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony is about to begin, the Internet is almost full of discussions about this year’s biennial Golden Eagle Awards.
""Legend of Sword and Fairy" probably won't be the best movie of the year."
"I'm not sure, I think "The Long Season" should win the award more."
"Golden Eagle looks at the spread and data of the drama, not just the ratings. The odds of winning Fairy Sword are still higher."
"I think no matter who wins the prize in the end, Xu Kong will win this year."
"That's right, after all, there were only a few hit dramas this year. The ones with the highest popularity and best word-of-mouth ratings were all taken up by Xu Kong's two dramas."
……
Although the Golden Eagle Awards will experience upsets from time to time, it can even be said to be a regular occurrence.
But in the eyes of most viewers who are paying attention to domestic dramas this year, Xu Kong really has no rivals under his two hit dramas.
What everyone is currently discussing the most is how many awards Xu Kong will win in the end for his two dramas.
In addition to Xu Kong's two dramas, there are more than ten other shortlisted dramas in total.
But there was almost no much discussion.
Xu Kong always felt that something was wrong.
Mainly because of this opportunity, even if it is only shortlisted, it is also a good publicity opportunity for the show, actors and directors.
But this time I saw almost no marketing.
……
The most important thing is that just the night before the awards ceremony, Xie Xiaoyu, the assistant director of two dramas and one movie, took the initiative to find Xu Kong.
"Are you sure you read that correctly?"
Xu Kong asked.
"I'm sure."
"Lao Xu came here with Mr. Zhu."
Xu Kong fell into silence.
Xu Kong had guessed that Xu Guangji would come to attend the award. After all, it was the Golden Eagle Award. As long as the other party was a little thicker, he would definitely come.
This is not only an honor, but for a photographer, it is also a highlight on his resume.
But what Xu Kong didn't expect was that Xu Guangji came with Zhu Changyun, Fengge's vice president.
Although he was a Golden Eagle, how could Zhu Changyun come to Star City specifically for nothing.
Does a vice president of a big company like Feng Ge have so much free time?
……
Xu Kong didn't know much about Fengge's entire company before.
Whether it's the company's senior management or its fellow artists.
Mainly because Xu Kong operated an independent studio as soon as he came in, and he hardly used Fengge's resources.
In other words, Xu Kong is now equivalent to one of the resources.
Feng Ge wants to join a lot of actors in his crew.
But no matter what, the vice president Zhu Changyun suddenly began to appear frequently in his field of vision.
Xu Kong always felt that it was not a good thing.
And when the two met before, Xu Kong could tell that there was something in the other person's words. He was obviously the kind of old fox with deep knowledge.
Although I knew that the other party and Song Youyou's father, Song Fuquan, were good friends who worked together until now, it was obvious that there was still a big difference in their personalities.
Although Song Fuquan was able to reach the position he is today, he is definitely not a good man or woman.
But Zhu Changyun's temperament is more like the kind of person who likes to engage in conspiracy and small tricks. Of course, perhaps it was because he was deliberately targeted by the other party that led Xu Kong to have such a stereotype.
But with two people with completely opposite personalities managing a company together, Xu Kong didn't think Fengge's top management was as calm as he saw now.
……
In a high-end community in Star City, Wu Youxue's wife saw him pick up and put down his cell phone several times in a row.
His expression looked very troubled.
It’s even more confusing than when I was forced to take half a year off.
I couldn't help but ask:
"What's the matter?"
Wu Youxue shook his head and said nothing.
"I'm just guessing, there's no need to tell him now."
"And..."
Although Wu Youxue has always been able to do things with a clear conscience.
But it is inevitable that sometimes selfishness will arise.
That's it this time.
Feng Ge's vice president Zhu Changyun took the initiative to come to him, but said that he did not represent Feng Ge.
What this means is already obvious.
Moreover, he had some guesses based on some information Wu Youxue had received before and Fengge's internal trends.
But after all, there is no substantial evidence for these.
He was debating whether to tell Xu Kong or not.
He had personal relationships with many people in Fengge's senior management, but the one he really cared about was Xu Kong, a young man he had known for less than a year.
But if something goes wrong with Feng Ge.
Does that mean he has a chance to let Xu Kong come to Mango?
Based on the relationship between the two of them, Wu Youxue thinks it is acceptable even if it is just a cooperative relationship, let alone giving the other party the top contract.
And in his opinion, Xu Kong represents the future of the domestic entertainment industry in the next ten years.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, this is Wu Youxue's most true evaluation of Xu Kong.
So if possible, Wu Youxue certainly cannot be satisfied with maintaining the current relationship with Xu Kong. No matter how good the relationship is, it still needs to be bound by corresponding interests. This is the safest way.
Therefore, after Wu Youxue thought about it, he finally did not tell the other party that Zhu Changyun came to see him.
Of course, he didn't agree to Zhu Changyunti's cooperation, but he didn't refuse it directly either.
No one knows what the future holds for Fengge, which is almost the largest film and television company in the industry.
Before getting a clear result, it is definitely impossible for a smart person like Wu Youxue to place a bet in advance.
……
Xu Kong naturally didn't know Zhu Changyun's purpose of coming to Star City this time.
But that didn't stop him from noticing something unusual.
"Sister Hong hasn't come back yet?"
After asking Song Youyou, Xu Kong was also quite surprised.
Linhong has been on a business trip abroad for several months.
Although I have heard of it before, this time it is quite important to explore overseas markets in Europe and the United States.
But Xu Kong doesn’t think he can let Linhong stay abroad for such a long time, right?
"I asked Sister Hong, but judging from her tone, it should be quite normal."
"It's said that we will have to stay for at least a few more months."
Seeing Xu Kong's serious expression, Song Youyou answered honestly.
"Where's your dad's side?"
"It's still the same as before. I went to the countryside to fish for several days two days ago..."
Xu Kong fell into deep thought.
As expected, Song Fuquan was still the same as before, shaking hands in front of him.
He suddenly thought of the time he met Song Fuquan before.
The other party told him not to worry about this.
Xu Kong suddenly felt that Song Fuquan might know everything?
Thinking of this, Xu Kong sighed helplessly.
I have reminded you once before.
And he still doesn't know anything about Zhu Changyun's purpose or anything about Feng Ge's senior management.
Under such circumstances, it seems that nothing can be done.
……
"Brother Xu Kong, what is going on?"
Obviously, Song Youyou, the eldest princess of the company, knew nothing about it.
Even Feng Ge is much stranger than Xu Kong.
"Nothing..."
Xu Kong shook his head.
He doesn't know what will happen now, but he always feels like a storm is coming.
Hope it's just an illusion.
But he didn't think that Zhu Changyun, as the vice president of the company, would suddenly target him for no reason.
There must be something he doesn't know about.
……
"By the way, do you know Zhu Changyun, the vice president of our company?"
Xu Kong couldn't help but ask.
"Wish you uncle?"
"We know him, what happened to him?"
Song Youyou not only knew Zhu Changyun, but she was also very familiar with him.
Because she was the one the other person watched growing up.
Every year for birthdays and other events, Zhu Changyun would personally go to celebrate Song Youyou's birthday and give her gifts.
It was the same last year.
Obviously, at least on the surface, Zhu Changyun still has a good relationship with Song Fuquan.
Xu Kong couldn't help but wonder if he had guessed wrong.
In fact, the reason why Zhu Changyun deliberately targeted himself and said those incomprehensible words.
She warned him because she discovered his relationship with Song Youyou.
But soon such speculation was rejected by Xu Kong himself.
Because if this is really the case, it is impossible for the other party to have such an ambiguous attitude when they met him before.
……
After thinking for a long time, Xu Kong finally gave up.
At present, it seems that everything can only be done with troops to cover up the water and the soil.
Of course he didn't want to see anything happen to Feng Ge.
The main thing is that the current state is quite good, and Xu Kong doesn't want to change much.
But if it does appear, he is not completely defenseless now.
Xu Kong speculated on several possibilities, but in the end, Zhu Changyun's goal was nothing more than the current Feng Ge.
Although Song Fuquan is almost the boss now, it is still different to actually get the management power and to have someone pressured on him all the time.
Thinking about it from his perspective, if he was Zhu Changyun, and he had really planned something after so many years, there would be nothing else besides Fengge's company.
But there is no actual evidence now, and it is impossible for Zhu Changyun to deliberately reveal any flaws.
You can't even tell what the other party plans to do.
Definitely we can only wait and see what happens.
