Chapter 289 The plan to seduce Xu Kong continues
Mao Yuzhe nodded almost without hesitation.
He wanted to sing Xu Kong's songs even in his dreams.
Who knew that such an opportunity would actually come.
Just half an hour ago, he felt that his dream of being a singer was shattered.
There is no way, even though he signed a contract with Fengqing Entertainment, it can be seen that the company has indeed invested real money in marketing him.
But the effect did not meet the original expectations at all.
In addition, he had offended the judges of Mango's show before, and Mao Yuzhe really felt that he would have to go back to his hometown to find a class soon.
Who knows, in a twist of events, Xu Kong suddenly came to his company, and then said that he would write a song for him.
……
Is Mao Yuzhe worth cultivating?
It's definitely worth it. It's obvious that the other party's music theory foundation is very solid, and most importantly, his own voice is also very distinctive.
The only thing that may not be an advantage is the appearance.
But as a singer, if you take the path of a capable person, it is actually enough as long as you are not too ugly.
Even with makeup and outfits, you can still attract fans.
The most important thing is that Xu Kong really never thought about how far he wanted Fengqing Entertainment to develop.
But now, Feng Ge is starting over, and this is his own company, so naturally he cannot favor one over the other.
However, the quality of Fengqing Entertainment's artists did disappoint Xu Kong.
There is no way, although Xu Kong can still find a way to make some of the people he met today famous.
But there's really no need to do that.
My own business level is relatively low. Even if I work really hard in the later period, it cannot be made up for in a short time.
This kind of singer who can't even open the mic live does not have much value in training.
In comparison, people like Mao Yuzhe can save a lot of trouble.
Xu Kong only needs to give him songs that suit him, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest.
……
"Are you leaving today?"
Xu Kong stayed in Hangzhou for four days.
During this period, the accompaniment and recording engineer's version of Mao Yuzhe's song was finally completed.
However, in Mr. Yu’s opinion, four days is indeed too short.
Although Xu Kong has always lived in her house, it felt like the two of them had just met and were about to separate.
But Yu Yaqing's character is naturally not the kind of clingy little girlfriend.
There was no intention to let Xu Kong change his original itinerary.
"I can't help it. The semi-finals of "Singer" are about to be broadcast live. I promised to participate..."
Previously, there were changes due to the release of "Sweet Honey" and Feng Ge's appearance.
It was difficult for Xu Kong to pull away.
I have been absent from "Singer" for several issues.
However, Wu Youxue still retains Xu Kong's quota.
If we go this time, it will be the semi-finals.
There must be more or less voices. After all, Xu Kong has indeed competed in many fewer contests than other singers who entered the semi-finals.
But Xu Kong got first place in almost every issue he participated in before.
Therefore, most viewers will not think that Xu Kong will not reach the semi-finals.
So there are doubts, but they are not as big as imagined.
……
"By the way, Fengqing Entertainment may have to change its standards when signing new people."
Xu Kong opened his mouth to remind.
He had discussed this issue with Yu Yaqing before.
Although Fengqing Entertainment is indeed trying to transform into a film and television company that can produce its own TV series and movies.
But after Xu Kong's acting skills, Fengqing Entertainment's current corporate structure is actually more suitable for developing into a record company model.
Similar to the one from Jiying Media.
Especially in the process of discovering and training new people, which is the so-called trainee selection process, there is a fairly mature system.
It can be directly applied to some potential young musicians in the future.
Under this premise, coupled with Xu Kong's walking music library, the speed of development will most likely exceed everyone's imagination.
"I will pay attention..."
Yu Yaqing opened her mouth to answer.
As for Xu Kong's identity as a songwriter, she naturally guessed his purpose.
But under the current situation, young musicians with potential are not so easy to find.
Moreover, the cost and effort expended in all aspects are also higher.
As soon as some young musicians with some potential appear, there is a high probability that they will be signed by large companies like Jiying.
For example, the show that Mao Yuzhe participated in this time, although it is only in the knockout stage, most of the contestants in it have already been signed by the record companies in the industry.
Xu Kong also knew that there was no rush for this kind of thing, so he could only take his time.
It is not easy for Fengqing Entertainment to accumulate a certain number of naive new singers in a short period of time.
But he also has his own ideas.
Because Fengqing Entertainment also has advantages that other large companies do not have.
……
"In this issue of "Singer", Xu Kong is coming back."
In a certain hotel in Star City, Su Yuwei's agent said.
Xu Yaqing, the artist department manager of Jiying Media, also nodded. She had already known the news.
After all, it's already the semi-finals. If Xu Kong doesn't come back, he will be criticized a lot if he finally participates in the finals and wins the championship.
Of course, relevant remarks have never stopped.
But Xu Yaqing knows that these things will not have much impact on Xu Kong's current public opinion environment.
On the contrary, due to Xu Kong's absence in the second half of "Singer", the popularity continued to decline, which is obvious to everyone.
Many viewers are looking forward to Xu Kong's so-called return of the king in subsequent games.
Not to mention, the one that worries them the most right now is Xu Kong.
Su Yuwei successfully won the first place in the previous two programs with the help of new songs provided by the company.
It can be said that Su Yuwei is one of the new singers that Jiying Entertainment values the most.
If she can win a "Singer" championship, it will be of great help to her future career development and ceiling.
The company is indeed working hard internally and has prepared new songs for Su Yuwei in the semi-finals and finals.
The only variable is Xu Kong coming back again.
Although the two songs Su Yuwei got were of high quality, they were even singles specially customized by two well-known songwriters within Jiying Entertainment Company.
But there is almost no need to guess. There is a high probability that Xu Kong will sing new songs in the next two games.
Because before the other party, every issue was a new song.
Xu Kong's hit singles seem to be free of charge and can be released casually.
Coupled with the current Xu Kong, the scene is no longer on the same level as before. It can be said that if Xu Yaqing's butt determines her head, her true thoughts in her heart are that she does not think Su Yuwei can win.
……
"By the way, Manager Xu, I heard a rumor before that the company plans to contact Xu Kong..."
Su Yuwei's agent couldn't help but ask.
She had no choice but to ask Su Yuwei to greet Xu Kong in private.
Even to put it mildly, Su Yuwei is young and beautiful after all. If she can create some sparks with her, it will definitely be great news.
Who knows now, if Xu Kong is willing to write songs and make an album for himself.
With the precedent of Su Zhi, maybe he will be the next one to win the three major awards for best album.
So when the news came out that Jiying Entertainment planned to sign Xu Kong, Su Yuwei's agent was the most excited. Because if Xu Kong really comes to their company, then Su Yuwei will naturally have an old acquaintance relationship, and it will be logical to invite songs and other things.
"Didn't you get the news?"
"Xu Kong is now Fengge's second largest shareholder."
Xu Yaqin felt quite depressed when she mentioned this matter.
It was true that conditions for negotiation with Xu Kong were even prepared, and even the company's chairman and several vice presidents paid great attention to it.
But who knows, Jiying Media hasn’t had time to contact Xu Kong yet.
Then I got the news that Xu Kong had become a shareholder of Fengge.
This matter can only be settled in the end.
……
"Shareholders?"

Su Yuwei's agent was stunned for a moment.
Obviously, she didn't know about this, which had almost been made public among the top executives in the entertainment industry for a long time.
Su Yuwei is a newcomer, and she is not experienced as an agent either.
There is a feeling that mother is more important than daughter. If Su Yuwei hadn't happened to be signed, she might have had no sense of presence in Jiying Media and could be eliminated and fired by the company at any time due to unqualified performance.
She seems to be even less informed about some related industry matters.
"However, you can continue to ask Su Yuwei to contact Xu Kong."
"Didn't you say that the two of them had a pretty good chat?"
Although Xu Kong is now completely bound to Feng Ge.
But strictly speaking, Fengge's current business situation does not have much conflict with Jiying Media.
Although Xu Yaqing didn't think that Xu Kong alone could really change Feng Ge's decline.
However, Xu Kong's creative ability cannot be faked.
It is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with Xu Kong, a well-known songwriter who can write songs and turn them into hit singles.
In fact, Jiying Media really never thought about confronting Xu Kong.
There isn't much hatred. If we can find opportunities for cooperation, it's perfectly fine for everyone to make money by harmonizing with each other.
……
Mainly due to the departure of Zhu Changyun and the establishment of Changyun Film and Television, Jiying Media no longer regards Feng Ge as a so-called opponent.
Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, it is really not a threat to a still strong tiger.
"Um..."
"But as for Yuwei, I can't tell her directly..."
Agent Su Yuwei's expression was a little tangled.
"Not telling is the right thing to do."
"Just let nature take its course."
Xu Yaqin replied like this.
Of course she knew that Su Yuwei was actually a little girl.
Even compared to some girls of the same age, because the company protects her very well, she may be more innocent.
It's impossible to tell the other party directly that you should try to seduce Xu Kong.
Not to mention that Su Yuwei would definitely not be able to accept it, and it was really purposeful. Xu Kongna might also be aware of it.
Then the optimal effect will not be achieved.
What she wants is that Xu Kong can really fall in love with Su Yuwei, which will complicate the relationship between the two.
Xu Yaqing felt that although Xu Kong was indeed a genius.
But for a young and well-known A-list female singer like Su Yuwei to take the initiative, she shouldn't be able to refuse, right?
……
"By the way, how far has their relationship progressed?"
Xu Yaqin expressed concern.
Su Yuwei’s agent said:
"They should be considered friends..."
"But this girl Yuwei is really good. Back and forth, we talked about music-related topics."
Xu Yaqing nodded in affirmation.
"This is good, take it step by step slowly."
Then she remembered something again.
"You looked at her chat history and it wasn't discovered, right?"
The middle-aged woman who was Su Yuwei's agent shook her head.
"She doesn't know that I know her mobile phone password, and I watch it every time when I record a program to help her keep her mobile phone."
Xu Yaqing:
"That's good. You must pay attention to this aspect."
"At her age, it is easy to trust people, but such trust can also be easily broken, which is very important."
Xu Yaqing is actually not very satisfied with Su Yuwei's agent's business capabilities.
If she could, she might change someone without hesitation.
After all, Su Yuwei is now a new singer that the company focuses on cultivating.
It's just that Su Yuwei is still young after all, and what she values more now is the so-called personal feelings.
She hardly has much affection and trust in Jiying Entertainment. If this agent really plans to take Su Yuwei away, there is a high probability that the other party will obey and follow suit.
No way, Su Yuwei did start to gradually show her talents after she was admitted to Jiying Media.
……
"By the way, does her contract expire in half a year?"
Xu Yaqing asked.
"Well, I'm already discussing with her about renewing the contract."
Su Yuwei's agent answered.
But in fact, the contract renewal should have been implemented long ago.
The reason why I keep putting it off is simply because I want to negotiate better terms.
After all, what Su Yuwei signed was just the company's most common B-level contract.
Although later on, as Su Yuwei became more and more popular and the development improved, Jiying Media increased some share ratios and resources.
But this is the level at which the lowest A-level artist contract fluctuates.
"This time the company plans to give him an S-level artist contract..."
Xu Yaqing's words made the woman's face suddenly reveal surprise that could not be hidden.
"Thank you, Manager Xu!"
Xu Yaqing waved her hand: "You don't need to thank me. Yuwei's current potential and commercial value are recognized by the company's senior management."
There are only a handful of young newcomers like Su Yuwei who can get Jiying's S-level contract.
Most recently, Yang Jiangjie stunned the music industry with his first album last year.
At the beginning, he and Xu Kong were called the four major newcomers in the Chinese music scene.
However, I don’t know if the album of the year that was originally scheduled in advance was directly cut off by Su Zhi. The other party has indeed been hit hard recently and has been unable to recover.
But this has nothing to do with her.
The important thing is that after Su Yuwei becomes an S-level contract, her agent's income sharing may be doubled!
No, there may be more. When "Singer" is broadcast, even if she loses to Xu Kong, the runner-up or something, Su Yuwei's subsequent performance fees and some commercial endorsement prices will definitely rise with the tide.
She was lucky that she had been a professional manager for so many years, and she had almost always managed artists who were popular but then faded away in a few months, or who never became popular at all.
Until now, I am finally getting through it!
She suddenly became determined in her heart, and Su Yuwei's plan to seduce Xu Kong must continue.
With Xu Kong's help, Su Yuwei might become another Su Zhi in the future.
