Chapter 303 Youyou are still very "self-green"
"Deputy Director Wu, I don't agree with the cooperation with Fengqing Entertainment."
In Star City, Mango's headquarters building, Wu Youxue had just finished speaking when he aroused dissatisfaction from a senior executive on the scene.
"The size of Fengqing Entertainment is not worthy of our careful treatment."
"I know it's because of Xu Kong, but that can't be the reason."
"What's more, most of the current artists in their company are newcomers. This is no longer a win-win situation, but a pure gamble..."
……
Wu Youxue squinted at the speaker.
The other party is under another deputy director.
What I am usually responsible for is actually some work related to mango business.
Strictly speaking, regarding Mango's specific partners, or even the specific artists to be invited to participate in the program, Mango's self-made variety shows, etc., the other party has no say.
But there is naturally a reason why he takes the initiative to speak at this time.
Although Wu Youxue has been in the business for only a little over a year, it has to be said that he has almost had a say in most of Mango's business.
Mao Zheyu, who had become popular in Fengqing Entertainment some time ago, has completely made it impossible to hide the relationship between Xu Kong and Fengqing Entertainment.
Even if you don't know that Xu Kong is one of the company's bosses, you should still know that the relationship between the two is very close.
If Mango and Fengqing Entertainment reach a more in-depth cooperation, they will definitely suffer in the early stage. After all, it is equivalent to them actively promoting newcomers under Fengqing Entertainment.
But in the long run, with Xu Kong helping to write songs, there may not be more than one Mao Zheyu emerging in the future.
It will definitely be of great benefit to mangoes.
It's just that for some other leaders, the relationship between Wu Youxue and Xu Kong is well known, if this is the plot direction in the end.
But it is estimated that by then, Wu Youxue will really have the final say over Mango.
Either way, this is not a good thing.
The best way is to completely cut off this possibility before the cooperation is officially finalized.
……
"We can discuss this later..."
Wu Youxue has never been too forceful and direct in promoting cooperation.
But with his current status and the real power in his hands, even if there is no nominal agreement, there are countless ways to invite artists from Fengqing Entertainment or insert people into some of his own programs.
Of course, Wu Youxue also knew that he had only been in power for a short time after all.
Even if you have your own plans and plans, you still need to plan them slowly.
There is no need to have a complete showdown with the opponent at this time. Anyway, his position as deputy director is secure. At least he will not be a completely manipulated role like before.
Now it seems that the result of choosing to take a half-year break is satisfactory.
……
"Boss, do we really want to do this?"
"And Xu Kong probably hasn't contacted us proactively, right?"
After the high-level meeting ended, Ban Shibin, a variety show director under Mango, took the initiative to ask his doubts.
Everyone can see that Wu Youxue plans to completely bind Xu Kong.
Judging from the current situation, although Xu Kong has completed the transition from artist to capital, no matter what happens in the future, his development will not be too bad.
But Xu Kong is Xu Kong, and his company is a company, not to mention the artists in the company.
These are completely two different things, right?
If Xu Kong took the initiative to request, there would be nothing wrong with Wu Youxue agreeing.
At least he got a favor from the other party.
In the future, Mango really needs a person like Xu Kong who is so popular that he may even become a phenomenal superstar.
Whether it's the other party itself, attracting traffic to some of their evening parties, variety shows, or the exclusive rights to broadcast the dramas directed by Xu Kong, etc.
But Xu Kong didn't take the initiative to speak, and Wu Youxue still helped like this, which was a little unreasonable.
……
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Wu Youxue didn't explain much, just replied lightly.
Indeed, in the eyes of many people, Xu Kong's own talents and talents are the most eye-catching.
But at the same time, it was because of enough contact with Xu Kong that Wu Youxue understood that the person most worth investing in was Xu Kong.
Not only from the other party’s judgments and decisions several times.
At the same time, what many people don't see is Xu Kong's talents besides being a singer, director, and actor.
Before Xu Kong helped Su Zhi write songs, although Su Zhi was already a diva, her popularity was declining year by year, and there were even a lot of people saying that she was not worthy of her name and could not be a diva.
The popularity is almost only the die-hard fans accumulated in the past.
But after Xu Kong started helping Su Zhi write songs, especially the album he personally produced last year.
The final effect is extremely shocking.
Now Su Zhi is not only a diva, but she is definitely one of the divas with the greatest potential, popularity and traffic in the entire country.
In addition, Wu Yuzhe this time is an even better example.
Wu Youxue doesn't believe that the other party's two songs can become popular without some marketing strategies and plans.
From the beginning, Xu Kong had a very specific positioning for this newcomer who seemed to have no characteristics.
In less than half a month, Wu Yuzhe has now become a rising star in the Chinese music scene.
The effect is even far better than that of some champion singers selected by some huge investment talent shows.
It can be seen from all this that Xu Kong has very detailed plans on how to promote newcomers, including his subsequent series of business layouts.
And full of confidence.
At that time, he went to the capital to discuss Feng Ge's subsequent film and television rights.
Xu Kong did not directly agree to the so-called deep binding cooperation method, but only gave a promise to give priority to Mango.
I am not worried at all that Feng Ge will not be able to sell other copyrights except for his own dramas in the future.
So Wu Youxue chose this one to follow.
It was not because of his personal relationship with Xu Kong that he wanted to help.
But simply, he is optimistic about Xu Kong's future.
Including Fengqing Entertainment and Fengge Film and Television represented by the other party.
……
On Friday, Xu Kong only participated in the filming of "The Beginning" in the morning, and then left for Star City.
The filming of the two dramas is currently going very smoothly.
Especially for the drama "The Beginning", the daily shooting schedule was exceeded.
Looking at the current situation, this drama will even be completed earlier than "The Hidden Corner" directed by myself.
Of course, the filming of "The Hidden Corner" was actually not slow either.
But after all, this drama itself has relatively high requirements for Xu Kong, and many details require a certain amount of patience.
"The Beginning" is more like not having to worry too much about the minutiae of logic, as long as the plot flow and the rhythm are stable.
"The Hidden Corner" has many details worthy of interpretation besides the plot.
Including many metaphors that caused huge discussions in the previous life.
Xu Kong didn't want such a work to be ruined in his own hands.
Whether it can become a hit is another matter, but at least its reputation must be guaranteed.
Fortunately, there are a lot of veteran actors in the crew, led by the veteran actor Chen Shuang.
Sometimes watching these actors perform is indeed an extra pleasure. As for the young actors, although Xu Kong's requirements were not particularly strict, their performances exceeded expectations.
It has something to do with the atmosphere of the entire crew.
There is no so-called competition for position, everyone is an acquaintance, but they will be more immersed in the shooting itself.
Even the young actors and actresses focused their full attention on filming.
Of course, this is also because the three young actors are actually not the kind of children who have no ability to think alone.
The oldest one is already fifteen years old, and the youngest one is also twelve years old.
At least I know that I am filming and working.
It’s not a troublesome child who needs to be coaxed not to cry with candy.
……
"I want to go too..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Faced with Youyou's words, Xu Kong had to comfort him.
"It's not good for you to stay on the set and follow me."
Although Xu Kong did not put much time and energy into the program "Singer", it is the final after all. It is understandable that Song Youyou wants to go to the scene to cheer Xu Kong on.
However, under Xu Kong's persuasion, the other party still stayed on the crew unwillingly.
The reason used is quite ordinary, it is simply that the filming of "The Beginning" is still in the confidentiality stage.
Moreover, if Song Youyou goes there, it is easy for scandals to arise, and there will also be suspicions that she will take advantage of the finals to promote her new drama.
On the contrary, this will reflect the reality of the people, and when public opinion rises, it will be bad.
But these are actually nothing painful for Xu Kong.
If they really plan to promote the drama "The Beginning", Mango will probably not only not refuse, but Wu Youxue will actively cooperate with Xu Kong.
As for the criticism outside that he took advantage of the show's finals to promote his new drama.
So what's the big deal?
I just took the opportunity to promote it, so what?
There is a high probability that the so-called public opinion will not really arise. On the contrary, Xu Kong is now the biggest source of traffic and popularity for the entire "Singer" program.
……
Then why not let Song Youyou go with you?
Naturally, it was because Su Zhi sent him a message two days ago, saying that she was waiting in Star City.
Su Zhi didn't go specifically to cheer for Xu Kong in the finals.
It's just a coincidence that there are commercial activities there.
But only they knew that the two of them actually had their own nest in Star City.
Although I may not be able to go there for a long time.
However, it is still the kind where even the furniture was purchased personally, giving it a sense of familiarity as a newly married couple's new house.
When Xu Kong goes on a business trip to Star City, he doesn't often stay in hotels. Instead, he goes directly to the house he and Su Zhi bought together.
……
If Youyou follows, it will probably be a bit troublesome to meet you then.
Although Xu Kong still has a chance to get rid of Song Youyou who has been following him, but doing it secretly will really cause a lot of trouble.
Rather than doing this, it would be better not to let Song Youyou come with you.
Even simpler.
"By the way, has Sister Su Zhi been in contact with Brother Xu Kong recently?"
Xu Kong was startled by Song Youyou's sudden question.
Mainly because he thought of Su Zhi in his mind, the other party said something like this, as if he could read minds.
However, Xu Kong still answered very calmly on the surface:
"No, I feel like I haven't contacted her for a long time. Is there something wrong?"
Obviously not long ago, Xu Kong was still sending messages to Su Zhi. The other party was telling him that several potted plants in the house in Xingcheng seemed to be dead, and asked Xu Kong what to do.
But he was telling lies with his eyes open.
His face is not red and his heart is not beating.
I have to say that Xu Kong was still nervous at first, but now, such words come out casually.
……
"Have you given up..."
Song Youyou was also stunned for a moment, and then muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
Hearing Xu Kong's question, Youyou quickly shook her head.
"Nothing."
"What I mean is that if Brother Xu Kong has time, he can help Sister Su Zhi write a new song or something. I think your fans are quite looking forward to working together again..."
Youyou still can't bear it.
The main reason is that she can also see how much Su Zhi likes brother Xu Kong.
And based on the other party's character, it is estimated that he will not be able to let go for a long time in the future.
Such unrequited love, the inability to love, really makes people feel a little sympathetic.
Although it is definitely impossible for her to give up brother Xu Kong to the other party.
But it would be too cruel to not even allow them to meet.
So what Song Youyou was thinking about at this time was that she hoped that the two of them could be ordinary friends, at least meet normally on weekdays, and she had no objection to it.
Youyou, who thinks that she is really considerate and tolerant, appears to be so "self-green" in Xu Kong's eyes.
Of course, this script was written by Su Zhi, although Xu Kong thought it was a bit outrageous.
But it was able to run so smoothly, so Xu Kong naturally continued to pretend that he didn't know anything.
……
"Youyou just asked me where I am now and what happened?"
"You're not going to 'surrender', are you?"
After a while, Xu Kong's mouth twitched when he saw the message from Su Zhi.
Then he typed a reply: "Probably not..."
He considered whether Youyou might have really noticed something.
But not long after, I saw another message from Su Zhi.
"It's okay."
Xu Kong slowly asked a question, and then saw the chat history with Youyou sent by Su Zhi.
"Sister Su Zhi, where have you been recently? Are you still in the capital? [Bared teeth and smile]"
"I'll tell you a piece of news quietly. No, you should know it too. Brother Xu Kong is going to Star City this weekend to participate in the finals of "Singer"."
After Song Youyou finished speaking, Su Zhi replied calmly:
"Yeah, I know, I saw the show's pre-promotion."
Then Song Youyou continued to reply:
"What I mean is, maybe Sister Su Zhi, if you happen to be performing in Star City or having an event or something, you might be able to meet me."
"After all, weren't you just testing before? We can still be friends in the future. I don't think brother Xu Kong will refuse..."
"[Gnarled teeth and smile]"
