Chapter 276 Who do you think you are, worthy of me to apologize?
If we talk about the past, no one can be sure of what Feng Ge’s future will be.
Especially as an old rival for so many years, even Huayuan subconsciously believed that the news was just a smoke bomb released by the other party.
But now, things have changed.
It is almost certain that Feng Ge’s huge internal changes are a certainty.
Even the senior executives of Huayuan, who didn't know much about the specific information, now understood what the vice president Li Wanshu meant.
It's just that if Feng Ge really doesn't exist, at least the current style doesn't exist, is there any chance that Xu Kong will be poached to Huayuan?
No one will deny the commercial value of Xu Kong.
Especially now that he is not only an artist, but also a songwriter who writes, directs, and performs in movies, TV shows, and performs, and frequently produces various hit singles. After a little research, Xu Kong's existence is indeed quite unique in the history of domestic entertainment.
……
"We can only say that we try to get in touch with each other as much as possible. The main reason is that Xu Kong doesn't like to accept any performances or variety shows at the moment, and he even has very few endorsements."
"We really don't have that many opportunities to get in touch with each other. ”
Someone couldn’t help but speak.
In fact, the meaning is very obvious, that is, not to have high hopes.
In the final analysis, it is because Xu Kong is indeed the artist with the greatest potential in domestic entertainment at present, and he is even a young director.
But before, everyone never thought that the company could sign him.
Now after Li Wanshu's analysis, he suddenly discovered that when Feng Ge really disappeared, it seemed that Xu Kong had no better choice except Hua Yuan.
After all, there are only a few such large-scale film and television companies in the entire country.
In other words, it seems that there is really a chance to make Xu Kong one of their own in Huayuan.
……
"If Xu Kong joins us, I happen to have a new drama project with an investment of 500 million. I think he is the most suitable candidate."
"Of course, whether it is a director or a screenwriter, even if it is He is the one who chooses the actors who don’t use our Huayuan. These are all decided by Xu Kong himself!” .
It was like a completely different person at this time.
Looking full of energy, even talking, the whole person became excited.
There was no way, mainly because of the thought that Xu Kong could join Huayuan.
The future company’s indicators should most likely not be difficult.
It’s nothing more than watching Xu Kong’s speed in filming dramas.
According to the news received by the person in charge of the TV series, Xu Kong’s filming efficiency is also terrifyingly high.
And I personally watched the whole process, so it was completely insured.
So what other so-called opponents do they have?
Feng Ge is torn apart again.
Basically, for a long period of time in the future, during the peak period of Xu Kong's creation, Huayuan will be quite invincible in the domestic TV drama and online drama market.
......
Although his wishful thinking was good, it was obvious that he was not the only one who had the same idea.
"As you said, Xu Kong has finally become a film director now."
"How can there be any idea of going back to film a drama?"
"And in terms of investment and cast, Can Huayuan provide Xu Kong with better conditions in terms of movies? "
The person who said this is the person in charge of Huayuan Movies.
It turned out that he was the one who couldn't help but complain the most just now.
Including but not limited to "if "Sweet Honey" changes schedule", "Xukong's potential threat theory", "Huayuan cannot completely let it develop" and so on.
But now when the issue of Xu Kong's development after joining Huayuan was mentioned, the other party seemed to have completely forgotten what he had said before.
I couldn’t wait to start arguing.
Just one thing, I have a perfect and complete development plan for Xu Kong.
So don’t fight with me!
...
The two people who saw the company started arguing first.
Many other people were quite speechless.
After all, regarding the matter of Xu Kong joining Huayuan, not to mention the horoscope, we have not even mentioned the possibility, and we have not even seen the corresponding possibility yet.
Why did you start fighting in the first place?
But it seems that they can't blame them. After all, anyone would have even thought about Xu Kong joining his company.
The excitement alone cannot be easily controlled.
......
"Let's avoid this topic for the time being..."
Li Wanshu could only interrupt at this time.
Although he hopes to see Xu Kong join Huayuan more than anyone else.
But now, it is more likely that Xu Kong will still become a very difficult opponent for the company to deal with in the future.
Originally, this meeting was to discuss how to deal with Xu Konglai.
As a result, the style of painting suddenly changed completely.
It became a discussion about whether Xu Kongjin Huayuan should make a movie or a TV series.
Is this right?
With Li Wanshu's efforts, the topic of this meeting was finally brought back.
......
For Xu Kong, the main purpose of this trip to Kimchi Country was the box office market of "Sweet Honey" there.
And the most important thing is to lay the foundation for his popularity with Kimchi.
Of course, what surprised him the most was that not only was he very popular, but he was recognized at the airport.
In addition, as the heroine, Shang Yuxin also gained quite a lot of popularity with the movie "Sweet Honey".
But what Xu Kong couldn’t understand was the fact that “Sweet Honey” was praised.
What netizens in Kimchi Country discuss and praise the most is the texture of the characters in the movie.
Maybe it’s because Kimchi has always been using various technologies, including filters and so on.
On the contrary, like in "Sweet Honey", Xu Kong and Shang Yuxin's three-dimensional makeup looks more special.
But the most important thing is that Xu Kong and Shang Yuxin are indeed relatively good-looking.
Needless to say, Xu Kong frequently appeared in the headlines of major social media in Kimchi just for participating in an award ceremony.
In addition, Shang Yuxin's appearance is actually quite popular.
It may also be the bonus brought by the movie "Sweet Honey" itself.
In any case, this trip to kimchi was smoother than Xu Kong imagined.
There are also a large number of producers who even came to talk to Xu Kong about his subsequent copyright cooperation.
Of course, in this regard, Zhu Yu had a discussion on behalf of Feng Ge last time.
He found it troublesome, so he declined the related dinner parties, and planned to wait for Feng Ge to find someone directly to help with the meeting later.
Anyway, the share ratio of his works has always been the same. In this regard, he does not need to pay too much attention to it.
...
As for the domestic ratings of "Sweet Honey" at this time, although the scores were initially released, the scores have fluctuated due to plot issues.
But for now, it has indeed stabilized. Although the score of 8.7 is not very high.
It is definitely not low.
Although there was a lot of debate among the representatives, most of the audience still recognized the quality of the movie.
Of course, if many directors, especially Chang Dachun, knew that Xu Kong's score of 8.7 for his debut film was so mediocre, they would probably have huge fluctuations in their hearts.
The main thing is that even for a literary film director like Chang Dachun, the number of people who rated his previous movies is generally tens of thousands. If a few two movies can reach 8 points or above, they will be happy for a long time.
There is definitely no way to empathize with Xu Kong.
But in fact, the movie's rating was within Xu Kong's expectations.
It’s just that the box office did exceed my expectations.
Within one week of its release, the box office has already exceeded 1.2 billion.
According to expectations, it is conservatively estimated that the domestic box office will reach around 25%. Coupled with the overseas market, it is estimated that exceeding 3 billion is not a particularly big problem.
Xu Kong originally expected that it would be good to have two billion in the domestic and overseas markets of several surrounding countries.
The main reason is that the box office of "Sweet Honey" in the previous life is so high, Xu Kong is inevitably a little unsure.
But what he didn't expect was that the box-office appeal that no one could predict had almost nothing to do with him in his previous life, would now appear on him.
And the effect is surprisingly good.
He is sure, if it weren't for the fact that "Sweet Honey" was directed and starred by him.
In a schedule like April, there is a high probability that it will not be able to reach such a high box office.
……
"Kong'er, someone is looking for..."
On the first day after Xu Kong returned to the capital, at the headquarters of Fengge Film and Television, he exchanged feelings with Zhu Yu, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.
After returning to his studio, he heard Guo Zihao say this.
I have to say that after staying in Beijing for a while, Mouse's Beijing accent has indeed become more authentic.
“Who?”
Although Guo Zihao is only his assistant, he also serves as the manager of Xu Kong's studio.
And when I was on the set, I was responsible for everything, including site management and other work.
The relationship between the two is indeed not a simple superior-subordinate relationship.
Guo Zihao himself didn’t feel anything.
After all, this is how I got here when I was at Fengqing Entertainment.
But because of his relationship with Xu Kong, he was treated like an assistant within Fengge Company.
......
"I don't know..."
Guo Zihao shook his head.
“But the person who contacted me was Lu Hanwen, the manager of the company’s film and television department.”
"No, now I should say he is the former manager of the film and television department..."
Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.
Of course he had met Lu Hanwen several times.
But from the original Fairy Sword to the current "Sweet Honey", Yan Rui was actually responsible for it.
We don’t have much contact at work, especially in private.
What's more, Lu Hanwen has left Fengge now.
Strictly speaking, it is even more impossible to have much interaction with him.
Why did you take the initiative to contact me for a meeting?
Just when Xu Kong couldn't figure it out, Guo Zihao added again:
"But it's not that he wants to see you, he is talking about other people..."
Xu Kong became more and more confused as he listened.
......
To Xu Kong's surprise, the meeting place was actually at a membership-only private teahouse near Fengge.
The kind that requires reservation in advance and must be a member to enter.
In this regard, the other party does think about Xu Kong.
After all, in other places, with Xu Kong's current popularity, it would be difficult not to be recognized without disguise.
"Mr. Xu, let's go this way..."
The waiter in the teahouse seemed to have met a lot of celebrities like Xu Kong.
He maintained a business smile throughout the whole process, which is quite the so-called professionalism.
However, Xu Kong did not go to such a similar place in his previous life.
At that time, he thought he had gotten into the so-called upper echelons of this circle.
But in fact, in front of most of other people's capital, he is just a cash cow that can be discarded at will.
And when he can't make money, that's when he is abandoned.
It just so happens that Xu Kong has experienced this process completely once.
So in this life, he has almost no thoughts in this regard.
Compared with the mixed circle, improving one's true status and value is the way to truly become capital.
......
"Mr. Zhu?"
Xu Kong entered the private room and saw Zhu Changyun sitting leisurely drinking tea.
The whole person was obviously stunned for a moment.
He had indeed thought about who was looking for him and for what purpose.
Based on Lu Hanwen's previous status as the manager of the film and television department, at most some film and television companies would invest in him to make movies.
Or maybe ask him to help write a theme song or something.
But when he saw Zhu Changyun, he realized that this one-on-one meeting was not as simple as he imagined.
At the same time, Xu Kong also didn’t understand.
How could Zhu Changyun, who had caused him so many obstacles before, invite him so calmly and then sit in front of him naturally.
Do you really think that you don’t know what the other party is doing secretly?
......
"It seems that there is a deep misunderstanding between Director Xu and me..."
Zhu Changyun made a gesture to sit down.
Then he spoke calmly.
Xu Kong hesitated for a moment, but he really wanted to know why the other party went to such trouble to find him this time.
“Misunderstanding?”
“Is it really a misunderstanding?”
Zhu Changyun’s hand pouring tea for Xu Kong hung in the air for a moment, but quickly recovered. normal.
Indeed, it has been a long time since no artist in this circle dared to talk to him like this.
But thinking of Xu Kong's specialness, he still endured it.
But people like Zhu Changyun, even if they are extremely angry inside, can still talk to each other with a smile on their face.
This is the so-called cultivation he thought he had gained from practicing for so many years.
But what Xu Kong dislikes the most is this.
Including Qin Xian, the former vice president of Kiwi Fruit, and now Zhu Changyun.
This kind of always being superior, this kind of being looked down upon by the other party all the time, is really uncomfortable.
......
"Director Xu, believe it or not, in fact, the things I did before were all to bring the relationship between us closer..."
Zhu Changyun's words gave Xu Kong a chill.
After all, for an old man like him...
Of course, he knew that he didn't mean what he said.
“But none of this is important.”
“Today I want to apologize to Director Xu.”
“The main purpose of coming to you this time is I hope I can get your understanding, Director Xu.”
"And..."
When Zhu Changyun said this, he paused slightly.
Then he continued:
"I want Director Xu to leave Fengge and come to my company..."
Now that the overall situation has been decided, Zhu Changyun no longer mind giving Xu Kong revealed this.
What he didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by the other party.
Xu Kong suddenly spoke, causing the smile on Zhu Changyun's face to suddenly freeze.
"Who do you think you are, worthy of me to apologize?"
......
