Chapter 288 I have a new song, are you interested in singing it?
ps: The previous chapter (286) has been reviewed and will be released tomorrow
……
The main purpose of Xu Kong's visit to Hangzhou this time is naturally related to the investment and filming preparations for "The Hidden Corner".
The main reason is that we need to bring along some people from Fengqing Entertainment.
Providing money is secondary. After all, Xu Kong is now one of the owners of both companies. Investment issues hardly require much negotiation. Each side can take half.
Of course, it was not easy to give up some crew positions to Fengqing Entertainment.
After all, most of Xu Kong's main crew members are fixed.
But because Zhu Changyun is a rebellious person, he brought with him many staff members who were originally from Xu Kong's crew, and now they just need to be supplemented.
It has to be said that after the initial failure, Yu Yaqing is no longer adventurous.
I plan to take my time, including my own actors, as well as related talents in film and television. They no longer pursue success overnight, but plan to cultivate slowly.
And with Xu Kong's help, Fengqing Entertainment will have no big problem in gathering some of its basic team in the future.
……
"Do I need to move Fengqing Entertainment to the capital?"
In the past, Yu Yaqing was her own company after all, so the decision-making power rested with her alone.
But now, of course she will not forget that Xu Kong is also one of the bosses of the company.
So I thought of asking Xu Kong what he thought.
Yu Yaqing's idea was simple. Feng Qingyu went to the capital, and because of Xu Kong, the other party could take care of both parties.
And she had had similar ideas before, but because Fengqing Entertainment and Feng Ge were not on the same scale and status at that time, it seemed like she was relying on Xu Kong's relationship to take advantage of Feng Ge. .
But now, Fengge needs to start over. There are many areas where the two companies can cooperate. Generally speaking, it is a mutually beneficial situation.
The most important thing is that Xu Kong is the boss of both parties, so it will be much easier to cooperate, and there will be no suspicion of each other and a mentality of constant defensiveness.
In addition, out of selfish considerations, Yu Yaqing really hopes to have more opportunities to meet Xu Kong.
This kind of meeting only once every few months is naturally not Yu Yaqing's ideal state.
……
At this time, Xu Kong was listening and studying the other party's feet.
I have to say that in comparison, Mr. Yu does have an advantage that is almost perfect in this aspect.
Even without the black silk covering, there are still no flaws.
Coupled with Mr. Yu's unique footwork, the experience is definitely one of a kind.
"No need for the time being..."
After Xu Kong thought for a while, he spoke.
“It’s good for Fengqing Entertainment to stay in the south and develop.”
Although Xu Kong has always disliked the rules of regional circles such as the entertainment industry.
But I have to admit that this is the case in this industry.
The companies and artists in the capital city in the north, and the surrounding areas in Shanghai and Shanghai in the south, have indeed formed their own small circles.
There are definitely some hidden environments that are not easily visible in terms of resources and relationships.
Therefore, Feng Ge maintains his network of relationships in the capital. Although the current situation is not too good, as it develops slowly in the future, it is unlikely that everyone will always be regarded as the so-called enemy.
We still need so-called partners.
The same goes for Fengqing Entertainment.
Although Fengqing Entertainment is not a big company now, it doesn't have much say.
But what is certain is that if Xu Kong decides to help, it is impossible to stay at the current scale and status.
……
"I know."
Yu Yaqing naturally understood what Xu Kong meant.
But he still looked a little surprised.
Because from Xu Kong's tone and thoughts, it seems that Fengqing Entertainment may become a big company similar to Fengge in the future?
In the past two years, although Yu Yaqing had such ambitions in her heart, if a young man told her that she could do this.
She will definitely think that the other party has something wrong with his brain.
But now, this person was Xu Konghua, and she suddenly started to look forward to it.
……
In the past, there was really not much publicity about Xu Kong becoming one of the owners of Fengqing Entertainment.
Mainly because Xu Kong, as an artist under Fengge's banner at that time, had a somewhat special status.
But now, of course, there is no such worry.
When he entered the headquarters of Fengqing Entertainment Company, he also became upright.
"Are these the people?"
Xu Kong spent about a whole morning meeting most of the young artists currently under Fengqing Entertainment.
"Well, that's all."
Yu Yaqing nodded.
Although she didn't know Xu Kong's specific thoughts, she should be able to guess some of the general purpose.
"The foundation is too poor..."
Xu Kong was quite helpless.
There is no way, Fengqing Entertainment's strength has always been marketing.
Therefore, the newcomers who are popular under the banner are almost all traffic idols.
It became popular quickly, but also became popular quickly. The main focus is to make quick money.
He met about fifty people, but none of them were satisfied. Some even had trouble understanding basic music theory. Even when singing a cappella, they would be out of tune.
Even if he really wants to be popular, to be honest, apart from being a little more decent, he really doesn't have much nurturing value.
Of course, this is from Xu Kong's perspective.
But many of these people are indeed very popular, have very high fan loyalty, and are willing to spend money.
It can be said that it is even one of the most important sources of income for Fengqing Entertainment.
If you think about it carefully, it was actually the same situation when Xu Kong first crossed over.
Fengqing Entertainment has its own operating model.
And being able to achieve the current scale is definitely not a big problem commercially.
But in this case, the company's upper limit is fixed.
It was also because of this that Yu Yaqing chose to try to transform and start producing TV series.
But the subsequent result is no secret.
……
"By the way, there seems to be another one!"
Yu Yaqing seemed to know what kind of artist Xu Kong needed, and suddenly spoke.
"Xiao Xu, go and call Mao Yuzhe!"
She looked at her female assistant and said.
"He participated in a music talent show in Mango before and became famous for a while, but was eliminated later."
"After signing, I found that according to our company's original operating model, there was not much effect..."
When Xu Kong heard this name, he felt a little familiar.
At this time, I finally remembered.
"Is he the contestant who started scolding the judges on the spot?"
Yu Yaqing also nodded.
It happened some time ago.
That new music talent show variety show on Mango is called "Chinese New Singing". As for auditions, naturally, apart from some contracted artists that the agency deliberately wants to promote, most of them are amateur singers.
But this Mao Yuzhe, after the performance, the judges criticized his performance and the scene. This person directly refuted it on the spot and started fighting with each other.
At that time, it directly became the number one trending topic on Weibo.
The main reason why Xu Kong paid attention was because Mao Yuzhe directly compared the judge with Xu Kong at that time.
Then he said that the other party was not as good as Xu Kong.
Yes, this is the original sentence.
As for the judge, he can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Xu Kong.
When she first participated in a series of Mango programs such as "Our Song" and "Singer", Yu Huai became Xu Kong's backdrop for many times.
Yu Huai is indeed an artist under Mango, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his biological son.
These various resources have never been cut off.

Although his development speed is not as fast as Xu Kong, a cheating guy, his long-term appearances in various variety shows and performances, as well as at parties, make him still one of the very active young singers.
Coupled with his good vocal talent and the average but passable quality of his works, he was really impressive.
……
Of course, although he was criticized, Yu Huai did not draw the fire to Xu Kong's head.
Yu Huai himself is not a person with low emotional intelligence. On the contrary, it is precisely because he knows how to behave that he can continue to have various mango resources.
He also knew the relationship between Xu Kong and Wu Youxue, so of course he couldn't actively seek discomfort.
"Then let's meet..."
Xu Kong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
In fact, although he knew Mao Yuzhe and could see that the other party was even considered a fan of his.
But this thorny character can easily cause some trouble.
If possible, Xu Kong still hopes to cultivate some more obedient singers.
As soon as this idea appeared, Xu Kong was stunned.
His current thoughts really changed quickly before they became so-called capital, and weighing the pros and cons appeared as if out of instinct.
If it had been before, Xu Kong might have been slightly more interested in Mao Yuzhe, an artist with a more personality.
……
Mao Yuzhe was signed by Fengqing Entertainment because he really didn't have many choices if he wanted to realize his dream of being a singer.
Including the subsequent series of operations arranged by the company, although they were not what he wanted to do, he had no choice but to accept them honestly.
What is a pity is that not everyone can take the path of idol traffic star.
He is not ugly, but he is far from handsome. The key is that he criticized the judges on that show and made the idol an important person. There is no way to establish him.
It can be said that in just over a month, Mao Yuzhe has completely understood the cruelty of the entertainment industry from the original ignorant novice.
This road is far from as simple as he thought. The blows of reality come before people can react.
……
"Teacher Xu Kong?"
Mao Yuzhe was called to the company from home, thinking that the company was planning to terminate his contract.
It wasn't until I saw Xu Kong that I had some hindsight.
He didn't have many friends in Fengqing Entertainment, so he had no way of knowing in advance that Xu Kong was coming.
Mao Yuzhe looks young, but he is still a few years older than Xu Kong.
Of course, in Xu Kong's opinion, these are not too important things.
"Sing two songs first, sing what you are good at."
Xu Kong said straight to the point.
For Mao Yuzhe, of course he knew that he seemed to have a hard-won opportunity.
He quickly chose a rock song that he sang the most, and it was also a rock song from when he was participating in the show.
This song belongs to a certain singer, but it's not that old. It was only released four or five years ago. It's not very popular, but it's still relatively famous. At least Xu Kong has heard of it.
Mao Yuzhe's voice is very penetrating. The most important thing is that it is not the hoarse and deep type that is common among ordinary rock singers. Instead, it is very clean.
I have to say that I met so many artists from Fengqing Entertainment today.
Only Mao Yuzhe could barely let people see the level that a professional singer should have.
For Xu Kong, this is certainly good news.
……
In the second song, Mao Yuzhe actually sang Xu Kong's previous song "The Ordinary Road".
This time it was changed to singing along with accompaniment.
However, compared with Xu Kong, Mao Yuzhe's "Ordinary Road" is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.
Just like the title of the song, although the chorus still has a high-pitched part, this song still has more of a sense of storytelling.
Especially the emotion of finally letting go after experiencing everything.
The reason why Xu Kong was able to sing this feeling was because of his extra lifetime of experience.
Mao Yuzhe's words, after all, are still young, but overall they are more like roaring at the so-called injustice. The emotional catharsis in the song is not suitable for the song itself.
Of course, his voice itself definitely matches this song well.
At the very least, it can be seen that Mao Yuzhe also knows where his advantages lie.
However, because of my age, I am not able to control my emotional expression well when singing.
……
After Mao Yuzhe finished singing, he was extremely nervous.
I was even more nervous than when I participated in the Mango draft.
Because he really likes Xu Kong's songs, and Xu Kong's experience, although it only happened in the past two years, is quite legendary.
Before coming to the company, Mao Yuzhe did not expect to see Xu Kong himself.
"What stage is that program, "Chinese New Singing" currently on air?"
Xu Kong turned to look at Yu Yaqing and asked.
"It seems like a knockout..."
Mao Yuzhe was directly eliminated during the audition stage.
After Xu Kong hesitated for a moment, he said:
"I'll make a call."
Now that Mao Yuzhe has signed a contract with Fengqing Entertainment, he can save a lot of words.
"Director Wu?"
Wu Youxue was at the main creative meeting of a variety show, but when he saw that it was Xu Kong's call, he paused the meeting and answered it directly.
Because Xu Kong rarely contacted him on normal days.
""New Chinese Singer"?"
"Returning guest? No problem..."
……
It has to be said that even Yu Yaqing was a little surprised at this time.
He knew that Xu Kong and Mango seemed to have a good relationship, but he didn't expect that Xu Kong could make the eliminated Mao Yuzhe come back as a returning guest with just one phone call.
And the whole process was so understated, it didn't seem like it was a big deal at all.
This cannot be justified as the relationship is not bad.
Of course, it was Mao Yuzhe himself who was in the most complicated mood at this time, with mixed emotions of excitement and fear.
But Xu Kong quickly looked at him and said:
"I have a new song, are you interested in singing it?"
