Chapter 266 was screened in advance, Xu Kong was full of confidence
Hearing Shang Yuxin’s words, Zhu Yu was already used to it.
After all, as a manager of the artist department, I often encounter times when the manager and his artists have different opinions.
The two business activities this time are indeed quite popular within Fengge. Even many front-line people have taken the initiative to express their willingness to take them.
As for Shang Yuxin, it was the other party’s manager who took the initiative to pick up the event.
However, it was obvious that she had not communicated with Shang Yuxin before accepting the offer, which resulted in Shang Yuxin actually being unwilling to do so.
Of course, in Zhu Yu's view, Shang Yuxin's acceptance of these two activities will not actually have much impact.
After all, there is still some time before the official release of "Sweet Honey".
Most publicity is concentrated online.
There is no need for Shang Yuxin to go to the scene in person.
There is no conflict in time for road shows that may be carried out after the subsequent release.
......
But since Shang Yuxin mentioned it herself, with her current status, she is indeed qualified to decide her own announcement schedule.
No longer the kind of newcomer who is led by an agent and must listen to the arrangements of the other party and the company.
“Are you sure you don’t want to answer the call?”
"These two businesses are quite popular..."
Zhu Yu reminded her kindly.
It’s not yet time to officially sign the contract. If someone changes, it will be a little more troublesome, but it won’t do any harm.
And there must be many people within Fengge who are willing to accept it.
Shang Yuxin nodded with certainty.
"Mr. Zhu, please push it for me. I'm causing trouble for you."
Shang Yuxin had obviously thought about it carefully and nodded without hesitation at this time.
Of course, her agent must be dissatisfied as she did not come with her this time.
It is true that since Shang Yuxin took on the role of "Sweet Honey", almost all the planned business projects have been postponed.
Before, it was understandable because it was filming, but now the film has been completed long ago and is about to be released.
Even if you cooperate with the announcement, you will not completely give up some of your original announcements and business activities.
The most important thing is that as a broker, the amount of business is really related to my direct income.
If it weren’t for the fact that Shang Yuxin still has a very high commercial value, and this new movie seems to be very popular even before it is released, I would probably have lost my temper.
After all, it cannot be ruled out that some managers and artists have feelings for each other because they have worked together for a long time.
But most of them are more realistic. They care about the career and development of artists. The main reason is because this aspect is directly linked to their own income.
...
Although in fact Xu Kong also felt that there was no need for Shang Yuxin to delay the other party's normal business activities because of the announcement of "Sweet Honey".
But at this time, he still did not persuade or stop Shang Yuxin's decision.
In the final analysis, although his relationship with Shang Yuxin is different from before, Xu Kong has no intention of intervening in various matters related to his career.
At least he will not take the initiative to give so-called advice before the other party speaks.
Except for some special occasions, he may treat the other person as his father, but usually, Xu Kong is not the kind of character who is very fatherly.
Including things like Su Zhi’s personal studio, although Xu Kong helped a lot.
But when it comes to operations or some decisions, it is still Su Zhi herself who calls the shots.
……
“Is there anything else?”
Looking at Shang Yuxin who still showed some unwillingness to leave after finishing speaking, Zhu Yu asked without thinking too much.
Even though she already has a child, she is actually quite obviously emotionally slow.
Compared with Shang green tea, it is even more obvious.
Because Shang Yuxin actually began to doubt the relationship between the two when she saw Xu Kong in the other party's office.
The main reason is that although Zhu Yu is the manager of the company and Xu Kong's agent.
Even she is still a wife, but she does look pretty.
Based on her understanding of Xu Kong, although she is not the type to attack such a beautiful woman when she sees her.
But after spending so long together day and night, Xu Kong often ran into the other party's office.
It is absolutely impossible to say that there is nothing.
……
"It's okay, then Manager Zhu, and... Director Xu, I'll leave first..."
Shang Yuxin said, and before leaving, she glanced at Xu Kong meaningfully.
Of course, Xu Kong also noticed it, but he pretended not to see it.
Although these two people stayed together, it was not the kind of cramped Shura field for him.
But if possible, Xu Kong certainly doesn't want Shang Yuxin to come up and clarify everything.
Shang Yuxin didn't know whether it was because she had been used to it for a long time, or because she already knew the existence of Song Youyou and even Su Zhi. At this time, except for a little surprise, there was no big fluctuation in her heart.
After all, Xu Kong’s words were indeed delivered to her door by herself.
Even before, Xu Kong had rejected her so many times.
Under the voluntary condition, Shang Yuxin looked at everything with a completely normal mind.
……
In the following period, Xu Kong was still busy with various things before the release of "Sweet Honey".
He even took Shang Yuxin and the best actor Guan Hua to participate in two variety shows on Mango to promote his new movie.
On the other hand, on the "Singer" side, Xu Kong was absent from another episode of the show due to scheduling issues, as expected.
Of course, although Xu Kong did not attend, his personal influence is still there.
It is mainly about the rise of Chinese style.
Recently, the number of Chinese-style songs has indeed begun to proliferate in the Chinese music scene.
Not to mention, compared to the batch of new songs that sprung up like mushrooms after the Spring Festival Gala, the average quality of the songs and the level of the singers this time have increased by more than a little.
Except for several new Chinese-style songs, which according to Xu Kong, are of quite good quality.
Of course, in comparison, it is still far behind the two songs "Blue and White Porcelain" and "East Wind Break".
But this is news worthy of attention.
Obviously, under the influence of Xu Kong, the emergence of Chinese style has greatly shortened the originally normal process of exploration and development.
It is estimated that in the next few years, there will be many popular Chinese-style songs.
This is what Xu Kong is looking forward to seeing.
As for his own words, having the title of a pioneer of Chinese style is enough to be written into the history of the development of the modern Chinese music scene, but he is not worried about being surpassed by latecomers.
And the two classic tracks "Blue and White Porcelain" and "East Wind Break" are not so easy to be surpassed.
...
“Xu Kong’s new movie is indeed quite exciting based on the various materials and publicity released so far.”
“The filter of the entire film , the composition looks like a literary film in all aspects, but in terms of investment and promotion, it follows the model of a commercial film..." Yiguo's new film prediction program has always had quite good traffic.
This can be regarded as one of the main columns of film and television self-media that has allowed her to become one of the top fans in the entire Internet.
But what I have to say is that the current domestic film market is indeed on the decline.
Let’s not mention that the overall box office growth last year was too slow. The most important thing is the Spring Festival period that just ended some time ago, which is one of the popular periods with the highest box office contribution within a year.
For many years in a row, almost all box office champions were films released during the Spring Festival.
But this year’s highest box office during the Spring Festival was just over 3 billion.
It is true that some performances are not satisfactory.
In terms of time, the next few months will almost always be an unpopular period in the market, and the number and quality of released movies are almost at their lowest point in a year.
Igo’s original energy was also put into TV series.
Especially Penguin's suspense theater, although relying on Xu Kong's "The Silent Truth", the overall level of this project is a bit too high.
The performance of some subsequent dramas simply failed to meet audience expectations.
But overall, it does feel like it can compete with the other two major platforms.
If nothing unexpected happens this year, from the news she has received so far, the three major film and television platforms are expected to broadcast close to a dozen suspense dramas combined.
In the battle of platform competition, the biggest gains are naturally from their film and television self-media and the audience.
The audience can watch high-quality suspense dramas, and Yiguo doesn’t have to worry about running out of material.
What Yiguo didn't expect was that Xu Kong's movie, which had already attracted a lot of attention, would be released in April, a time when the market was quite sluggish.
She originally predicted that the other party would choose a popular schedule like the summer season.
After all, in terms of cast and investment scale, it is fully qualified to compete with other opponents in the summer season.
It can only be said that not only some professionals in the industry, but also film and television self-media like Yiguo can’t figure out why.
......
But this is not the most important thing. For Yiguo, it is of course impossible for her to let go of Xu Kong's first movie.
New film predictions, this traditional program, must be done.
Even a separate issue dedicated to Xu Kong's movie.
In addition to Xu Kong’s already high popularity, this wave of traffic is definitely impossible to let go.
Igo himself is also very interested in Xu Kong’s new movie.
Last year, her account made a ranking of the top ten film and television dramas of the year.
Unsurprisingly, Xu Kong’s two dramas were on the list one after another, and directly occupied the first and second positions.
Moreover, this seems to be a somewhat shady or paid ranking, but I haven't seen any viewers questioning it.
No way, apart from being a hit in itself, the terrifying 9.4 rating of "The Long Season" is there, which is really impossible to ignore.
Even though Fairy Sword has had some controversy, its rating is still stable at around 8.7 despite its popularity.
Xu Kong’s two dramas directly occupy two positions in the top ten of the year.
Coupled with Xu Kong's age and idol background, he directs, acts, and even writes his own scripts as a screenwriter, it is difficult for people to ignore him.
The current situation is that Xu Kong looks young and has low qualifications, but in terms of influence and reputation, in terms of actors and directors, he is already much higher than many senior directors in the industry, as well as some first-line actors. extent.
……
That’s why Xu Kong’s entry into the film industry has attracted so much attention.
Except for some of the past superstar-level artists from Hong Kong.
In Yiguo's view, Xu Kong is indeed a young artist who really has hope to achieve success in film, television, singing and singing after this century.
Including many online viewers now, their expectations for Xu Kong are not just ordinary movie kings or singers.
But it is similar to the old king-level superstars when the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City was prosperous in the last world.
Coupled with Xu Kong's identity as director, Yiguo really feels that this is not a deliberate exaggeration by Xu Kong's fans or some netizens.
So Yiguo mentioned in his copy of this new film prediction:
“For Xu Kong, the box office of his first film is not the most important thing.”
"The most important thing is word-of-mouth. As long as word-of-mouth is recognized by the audience, it is enough to represent that he has achieved his goal of entering the film industry."
"Because he has a TV series that proves his commercial value. As long as the reputation doesn't collapse and we win an award or something, the TV show will There are many investors who are willing to invest money in Xu Kong in terms of movies, and in terms of actors, after Xu Kong has proven his ability, almost no one can refuse Xu Kong’s invitation.”
……
After the video recording ended, Yiguo started to get busy with other things.
Although her number of fans has exceeded 50 million, she is almost the largest self-media blogger in the film and television area.
But in comparison, she does not have a big team, or she just starts a company directly.
In addition to being an assistant who handles business matters, Yiguo has always insisted on doing everything by himself in terms of content.
This makes her efficiency in making money really worse than before there are too many mature teams.
But it can be regarded as Yiguo’s most basic persistence since he did this.
“Hello?”
"Well, I'm Yiguo..."
After finally resting for a while, the phone rang.
Ego’s various business matters are handled by dedicated people.
So Yiguo was a little surprised that the other party was able to find her personal phone number.
But then he heard someone announcing his home, and Yiguo felt relieved.
...
After hanging up the phone, Yiguo's expression also fell into deep thought.
It turned out to be a call from someone from Xu Kong’s team.
Invite her to attend the advance screening of "Sweet Honey".
Igo really didn’t expect that although she had received many invitations from similar film producers.
But she didn't expect that Xu Kong would take the initiative to invite her this time.
After all, before "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was aired, she was the one who publicly questioned what Xu Kong said about the fairy tale.
Although it seems now that Xu Kong's fairy tale dramas have indeed become a new genre that is different from ancient puppets and traditional martial arts films.
But if it were other directors, they would definitely hold a grudge over this matter.
Let alone inviting her to the live premiere of his movie, it would be tolerant enough not to sue or specifically target her.
Of course, the invitation to her this time was obviously not to pay her to promote it, because they didn't mention this at all.
In other words, she was simply invited to attend the premiere, and her personal comments and opinions as a blogger with more than 50 million fans on the Internet were not restricted.
In addition, this time we will use the advance screening method.
The most telling thing about all these is that Xu Kong obviously has full confidence in his new movie.
This made Yiguo undoubtedly very curious, and now he was even more looking forward to seeing the completion of Xu Kong's movie.
