Chapter 301 Changes in Feng Ge

Chapter 301 Changes in Feng Ge

What is a pity is that this time in the drama "The Beginning", the heroine Li Shiqing is set as a college student.

And the dress is still relatively simple.

Therefore, for Xu Kong, it is indeed not as strong a sense of immersion as Zhao Ling'er's costume.

But even so, for Youyou, who is very talented in acting and loves to learn and improve, Xu Kong can feel a lot of freshness every time.

It's the same this time, although it's the maid outfit that has appeared before.

But the white silk on the legs, the bow tie on the neck, and the opening that was designed by genius that day.

It really made Xu Kong unable to resist.

Because of the makeup of the character in "The Beginning", Youyou did not tie up the twin tails in time this time.

But Youyou is still very conscious.

He stretched his hands back to Xu Kong so that he could grab it and control his center of gravity.

……

Xu Kong was a little happy and no longer thought about Shu.

I even thought about staying in the crew hotel of "The Beginning" if I wanted to follow up.

However, due to the convenience of filming, the two crews went back and forth. If he stayed with the crew of "The Beginning" throughout the whole process, then for "The Hidden Corner", I, as a director, would have been negligent in his duties.

So in the face of Youyou's coquettishness, Xu Kong could only make up his mind and refuse.

But for this filming, Youyou also brought a lot of clothes in addition to her own luggage.

So she wasn't worried about whether she could keep Xu Kong here at some point.

……

In addition to the two dramas in Lecheng, most of Feng Ge's focus this time was placed on four projects for which Xu Kong wrote the scripts himself.

And strictly speaking, the investment in the two dramas in Lecheng is not too large.

For a film like "The Beginning", strictly speaking, if it weren't for the relatively high remuneration issues of Xu Kong and Song Youyou, the cost would be even lower.

"Squid Game" and "Operation Red Sea" are large projects with high investment in the traditional sense.

"Squid Game" was due to the cost of cross-border shooting. In addition, props and other shooting scenes had to be built by ourselves, and the cost was indeed quite high.

"Operation Red Sea" is similar, and as a war film itself, the investment will not be low whether it is real shooting or special effects.

The combined cost of the two dramas is estimated to be approximately 7 to 8 billion.

This does not include subsequent publicity and other investments.

Of course, Xu Kong knew that this investment was definitely a good deal.

And the rate of return is enough to shock most of its peers.

Therefore, Xu Kong, as the producer of the two projects, and now as the vice president of Fengge, can indeed promote them very smoothly.

It took only one month after the project was approved to successfully enter the formal shooting stage.

It has to be said that from this aspect alone, Xu Kong has so much confidence in Feng Ge's future.

Because you have complete control over the project.

Otherwise, if he had not become one of the company's bosses, Xu Kong would really not have that much confidence.

After all, like before, Xu Kong can only control the dramas he directs at most. He will most likely not get involved in other projects within the company.

With him alone, Feng Ge's decline may be alleviated, but there is no way to completely solve it.

It can only be said that no matter what Song Fuquan's original thoughts were, Xu Kong turned from an artist under his banner to the boss of the company.

But this decision does feel like a road has been broadened.

……

"This drama does have a good chance of becoming a hit."

"But after all, it is an overseas market like Kimchi. I can't say for sure what the effect will be after the subsequent broadcast."

At this time in the capital, Lin Hong came back briefly after staying in the Kimchi Country for nearly two months.

"Is everything going well at the branch?"

Song Fuquan asked.

"Squid Game" itself is intended to be used in the overseas market where the main audience is Kimchi, so some corresponding preparations must be made.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to create a branch.

This time Lin Hong went to Kimchi Country, her main tasks were these.

"It went pretty well."

“The cooperation negotiations with some companies over there have gone quite smoothly.”

Song Fuquan nodded after hearing this.

Then he added with a somewhat complicated expression:

"Actually, I don't know whether it is the right decision to place the bet entirely on Xu Kong."

……

In fact, the reason why he chose Xu Kong in the first place was because he had his own daughter.

Letting Xu Kong become Feng Ge's shareholder was originally decided.

But other than that, I really didn't expect Xu Kong to decide the company's most important film and television business almost by himself like he is now.

"I think it's quite right..."

Lin Hong said.

Song Fuquan had indeed known about Zhu Changyun's departure and what happened to Feng Ge for a long time.

And I made a lot of preparations.

In terms of plans in this area, Xu Kong is one of the important artists.

But it is not a decisive part.

Who knew that things would change far less than planned.

After Xu Kong became the vice president, he directly stopped some original projects.

In addition, I directly wrote the scripts of several dramas myself and arranged suitable directors. It seemed that everything was prepared in advance.

Song Fuquan observed the whole process, but after hesitation, he still did not choose to intervene to stop it.

……

"I always feel that the profits from the scripts written by Xu Kong this time will not be too low."

Although Lin Hong had a lot of complaints against Xu Kong.

But in fact it is mainly because of pomelo.

She has never doubted Xu Kong's talent and ability.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent such a huge price to buy the other party's contract.

"Moreover, in fact, in our current situation, we can only place our hope on him."

Song Fuquan said.

Another reason why he didn't intervene in Xu Kong's decisions was that he had prepared some back-ups before, but in the end he couldn't use them as he wished.

Obviously, Zhu Changyun really wanted to drive Feng Ge away.

Many of Song Fuquan's original preparations had already been included in the opponent's calculations.

……

Feng Ge has indeed changed a lot.

Most of the internal employees and artists can be said to have been completely changed.

Fortunately, there is really no problem with funds.

All its projects can proceed smoothly.

The only problem is the reduction of resources.

For example, some partners who originally belonged to Feng Ge were taken away by Zhu Changyun.

Therefore, during this period, the new people under Feng Ge's banner were indeed living a bit worse than before.

Especially for the newcomers who were previously said to be the focus of training, almost all resources were directly arranged by the company.

Nowadays, even a small role or a low-cost Internet variety show requires a lot of effort.

..."I haven't received a role in two months."

"If I had known this, I should have gone to the audition."

"I still think the investment is small and the drama is small..."

In a bar in the capital, Xiang Tianlei said with a regretful expression.

The people sitting next to him were all newcomers under Feng Ge's banner.

The average age is about twenty-three or four.

Several people joined the company last year when Feng Ge signed a large-scale recruitment of new people.

Then when I came in, I was showered with resources that were the envy of my peers.

Xiang Tianlei, like most of his colleagues here, naively believed that his future stardom would be bright.

After all, this is Fengge, one of the largest film and television companies in the country.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

And the company takes itself so seriously.

With this kind of treatment, it would be difficult for any newcomer not to feel overwhelmed.

……

"I heard that Lao Liu has already joined the team. Alas, I should have auditioned for that role."

Said to another person beside Tianlei.

As for the old Liu in his mouth, he is a newcomer like them, named Liu Yue.

However, Liu Yue was a little older, and Feng Ge's previous resources were also in the category that did not benefit him much.

In addition, the most important thing is that Liu Yue is a completely non-vegetarian guy. As long as there is an opportunity to join the group to act, no matter how small the role is, he will give it a try.

For a role that only has a few scenes and a few lines, there is no difference between playing it and not playing it.

If you just rely on playing such a role, when will you be able to truly become a well-known actor, or a TV star, movie star or something like that?

Therefore, most people here, including Xiang Tianlei, actually despised Liu Yue's approach of acting whenever he could.

As a good actor, why don't you even choose script roles?

This is a bit outrageous.

……

Who knew that Feng Ge's situation had changed so much now, but Liu Yue, who tried whenever he had the chance, became the one who still had roles to play.

"I heard that the company is planning to terminate the contracts of many new employees."

"I always feel that the next batch will be ours."

This sentence made the scene suddenly become quiet.

The main reason is that almost all of the people present have not acted for a long time.

Any previous variety shows, endorsement announcements, not to mention any announcements, are all gone.

"How about we give it a try. There is no need to always think about playing the male lead or the second male lead. We also play supporting roles..."

Before the young newcomer could finish his tentative words, he was interrupted by Xiang Tianlei.

"I'm going to go to you anyway!"

"I will only play roles and dramas that I recognize. If I keep playing these supporting roles, I am destined to be useless!"

Xiang Tianlei was simply spoiled by the previous senior executives of Feng Ge.

At that time, in order to arouse the dissatisfaction of Fengge's original established artists, almost all resources were allocated to newcomers including Xiang Tianlei.

It can be said that they got something that did not belong to them.

This makes many people really naively believe that they are so-called gifted.

He was born to be the protagonist.

But in fact, most of the people present are serious acting majors.

But in terms of actual performance experience, it is simply impossible to use.

Even if you don't have a professional background, you will probably be dismissed if you work as a part-time job.

……

"Although I haven't read the script of the play directed by Su Meng, I heard that it was written by Mr. Xu Kong himself. If I had known about this in advance, I would probably have gone."

"It's pretty good to play a supporting role..."

Hearing this, Xiang Tianlei became even more angry.

"The male and female protagonists of this drama are Xu Kong and Song Youyou."

"Originally, there were only a few supporting roles in the public auditions, but now that the show is aired, even if the show becomes popular, I guess no one will pay attention to the characters played by Liu Yue."

After everyone heard this, they all subconsciously fell silent.

In fact, although many people are dissatisfied with their current situation, if there are any idols in the entertainment industry, Xu Kong is definitely one of them.

After all, the other party is even younger than some of them.

But the achievements and status he has now achieved have reached a rather exaggerated level.

In addition, it is Xu Kong's own experience. From a top idol with a poor reputation, he was able to become like this in just over three years.

The process is no secret, and many people have witnessed the whole process with their own eyes.

……

Moreover, in Xu Kong's previous dramas, including the first "Want to See You", and later "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Long Season", there are still examples of supporting characters becoming popular.

Although strictly speaking, it is not a so-called group drama.

But many of the characters in Xu Kong's script have souls, rather than just simple facial expressions.

The only thing you may need to worry about is that Xu Kong is only the screenwriter of this drama, and the director is Su Meng.

But no matter what, many people know that the supporting role of Xu Kong's drama is indeed bad.

Supporting characters such as Anu in Fairy Sword, Tang Yu Xiaobao, and even actors in other roles have all become famous through the success of one drama.

It is almost common to have hundreds of thousands of followers.

But everyone can also understand why Xiang Tianlei is so angry.

When he was there before, he was a newcomer that the artist department focused on training.

The resources are much less than those of them.

Naturally, there is also the biggest psychological gap.

The most important thing is that Feng Ge's former artist manager almost kept talking about how he was optimistic about Xiang Tianlei and believed that he would be a good actor in the future.

Who would have thought that he would become a traitor and leave the company without mentioning any thoughts of taking Xiang Tianlei away.

You must know that Changyun Film and Television now has a considerable number of actors, all of whom were previously affiliated with Fengge.

Although most of them are already famous movie kings and actresses, as well as first- and second-tier actors.

But there are still some new faces.

In other words, if it is really valuable for cultivation, the other party will definitely not let it go.

This also made everyone make fun of Xiang Tianlei when talking about it in private.

……

"Brother Lei, if I were you, I would just go directly to Changyun Film and Television."

"I suspect that the current high-level officials in Fengge are deliberately targeting you!"

Someone suggested.

Xiang Tianlei snorted and said nothing.

In fact, he had thought about it this way, because he was favored by the previous manager of the artist department, so maybe the current senior management would doubt whether he was an undercover agent or something.

So he took the initiative to contact Fengge's former artist manager, who must still be a senior executive in Changyun Film and Television.

It turned out that he didn't know when he had been blocked by the other party.

Couldn't get in touch at all.
