I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 191: Su Zhi will also be urged to get married one day

The popularity of "Love Song" is incredibly high.

If it was just a song release, it might not have attracted so much discussion.

The main credit comes from the song MV released along with it.

Xu Kong and Su Zhi starred in the film together, and this point was extremely attractive to netizens.

Even if you are not a fan of Su Xu's CP, even if you are just a spectator, you will be quite interested.

Of course, the quality of the MV itself is also very important.

Although Su Zhi’s acting skills are indeed not that good, fortunately her role in the film is not that large.

Even ordinary netizens can find some resonance in this song and MV.

"It's so well shot. Xu Kong is indeed a professional. This MV is definitely one of the best MVs that I've seen in the past few years that matches the song best."

"Maybe it's because I thought of the girl I had a crush on in high school. I just felt sad after watching it."

"The entire universe for a red bean. The lyrics are worth savoring. They are so well written."

The comment section of the mv is almost all positive reviews.

At this time, the video has been played over 10 million times, and the number of comments has reached more than 50,000.

Remember, it’s only been less than two hours since the release.

Of course, after watching the MV, the ones who couldn't help but smile the whole time were still the fans of Xu Kong and Su Zhi.

There's no way. The two haven't appeared in the same frame for such a long time, and now they suddenly release such a big move, for the CP fans.

It really feels like Chinese New Year.

"The two of them look so good together in school uniforms. I suggest you lock them up right away!"

"When I think of the eight more songs Xu Kong wrote for Su Zhi, I can't stop being excited."

"Wait, in the MV, the male lead has a crush on the female lead. Could it be that Xu Kong wants to use this MV to express his feelings to Su Zhi?"

I have to say that many netizens are really good at using their imaginations.

Even when Xu Kong and Su Zhi are in public, they rarely act too intimate.

But they can still find a lot of material that makes them happy.

On the other hand, "Love Song", as the second song in Su Zhi's new album, was very popular and caused quite a stir in the music circle.

"It's too exaggerated. I feel like Su Zhi's new album is going to be a hit."

"It can be seen that Xu Kong has used almost all of his abilities to help Su Zhi produce this album. If I were any other singer, I would probably be drooling with envy."

“Whether it’s the previous song ‘The Wind Rises’ or this song ‘Love Song’, it’s really hard to imagine if the new songs in subsequent albums can maintain this quality.”

"No wonder Xu Kong can't release his own album. This album 'Su Xu' must have consumed most of his energy, right?"

Whether it is traditional music critics or music self-media like Feiniao, almost all of them have given positive reviews.

Or it can be said that it is no longer just praise, but more of admiration.

It’s mainly because of Su Zhi’s new album. Although only two songs have been released, just looking at the quality, it has the potential to become a masterpiece.

The discussion level is naturally quite high.

Of course, they played champagne, but it was only two songs and not many people opened champagne at halftime, including Fat Bird, who were all quite restrained.

Even though there was no champagne at halftime, most people had the same idea at this moment.

That is, even if the quality of the songs in the subsequent album "Su Xu" is average, the best album of the year will most likely still be Su Zhi's.

As for Yang Jiangjie, who was previously said to have a high chance of winning the award, he is now no longer favored by most people.

As a newcomer, Yang Jiangjie's first album is truly amazing, with many talented works in it.

But compared with Su Zhi, there is suddenly no advantage.

Some people even analyzed it very seriously.

Now Yang Jiangjie’s only hope is all the remaining songs in Su Zhi’s later albums, the quality of which is so poor that they are unlistenable.

That's how he won the award.

And everyone knows that this is almost impossible.

The album of any singer may not be very popular and have no so-called hit singles.

But the average quality will definitely not be extremely bad.

Even Su Zhi’s previous album, which received relatively low reviews, did not reach that level.

What's more, this time, the producer of the album is Xu Kong.

He was also responsible for the composition of all the songs.

If we take a quick look back at all the songs Xu Kong has written in the past, not to mention the poor quality, there are almost no such common mediocre works.

As for this result, the person who could not accept it the most was of course Yang Jiangjie himself.

Just two songs, and the album that was once the best album had already been secured changed hands just like that?

As for those music critics and media who used to praise him, Yang Jiangjie changed from thinking that they had good vision to being annoyed and even hating them now.

These people don't understand anything and I don't know what they are evaluating every day.

After the show "Autumn Concert" was broadcast, it was obvious that almost all the attention was focused on Su Zhi and Xu Kong.

It can even be said that it is focused on Su Zhi's MV this time.

Not to mention the other guests on the show, even the show itself is not much discussed.

That’s right, this is the second time that Yang Jiangjie has completely become a background board when participating in the show with Xu Kong.

Of course, this time is slightly better than last time.

At least there will still be some music critics or self-media who mention him.

But what was said was not what he liked to hear.

"Jiang Jie, do you know what is the most important thing in your line of work?"

The agent had long noticed that Yang Jiangjie was not in a good condition.

Especially after participating in this variety show and meeting Xu Kong in the first episode, it became more and more obvious.

"what?"

"Talent? Hard work?"

When Yang Jiangjie heard the question, he was obviously stunned.

In his opinion, these are definitely the most important things.

In terms of talent, he believes he is no less talented than anyone else.

The only shortcoming he currently admits is that he has too little live experience and his singing skills still have a lot of room for improvement.

But he believes that he is not inferior to others in terms of hard work.

Apart from participating in programs or answering notices, Yang Jiangjie spends most of his time in the practice room.

I just don’t want to be criticized by the audience for my unstable performance and poor singing skills during future performances.

Yang Jiangjie's agent, Sister Xia, shook her head lightly at this time.

Then he said:

"neither."

"The most important thing is to keep a normal mind."

Jiying Media signs more than 300 new singers every year, many of whom are very talented.

There are also many who become famous overnight.

But there are not many people who can keep going and remain popular for many years.

There's nothing you can do about it, the entertainment industry is just like that.

It is possible that a colleague who was taking vocal lessons with you in the company yesterday had millions of followers a few days later and started taking on performances worth hundreds of thousands of dollars per show or commercial activities worth millions of dollars.

And you also know in your heart that the other party is actually inferior to you in every aspect.

He has no creative ability, his singing skills are even worse, and he is not as handsome as you.

But it's him who's angry, not you.

This situation is all too common in this industry.

Therefore, many newcomers may go to extremes if they are not careful.

It doesn't even have much to do with the agency, it's just my own fault.

Strictly speaking, Yang Jiangjie has been quite successful.

It is estimated that there would be few new singers with the same starting point as him many years ago.

But because of this, it is difficult to accept that you are not as good as others.

Whether it is popularity, external evaluation and so on.

In fact, it is very common for these so-called media and music critics to praise you one day and belittle you the next.

If it were some other experienced people in the industry, they probably wouldn't take it seriously. But Yang Jiangjie had just entered the industry, so his psychological endurance was still a little poor.

"Normal Mind"

Looking at the agent who left without further explanation, Yang Jiangjie fell silent.

But before he could think for two seconds, he cursed unconsciously in his heart: "Bullshit common sense!"

Doesn't this mean that he has to admit that he is inferior to others?

Obviously, Yang Jiangjie, who was ambitious, could not accept such a statement at all.

Then he picked up his mobile phone and used his secondary Weibo account to write a short essay under a music critic's post.

The Autumn Concert was broadcast at noon.

There is no way, after all, Mango’s own Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is held tonight.

This time it is a specially recorded Mid-Autumn Festival special, so it can only be adjusted to be broadcast at noon.

As for Xu Kong at this time, he and Su Zhi had just finished watching the show in each other's studio.

"Yun Music and Penguin Music contacted me again"

Yuan Yinnan walked in and spoke.

Maybe it’s because Xu Kong has been staying here all this time.

At this moment, the person she subconsciously looked at was not Su Zhi, but Xu Kong.

"hold on."

Xu Kong still holds the same attitude as before.

I plan to wait until the first four or so songs of Su Zhi's follow-up album are released before discussing the copyright fees with them.

“But their offer.”

Yuan Yinan was a little hesitant.

In her opinion, both sides have already offered quite high copyright fees at this time.

And it can obviously be lifted up.

And after the release of the MV of "Love Song", the popularity was unprecedentedly high.

When the remaining songs in Su Zhi's album are released later, they may not be as popular.

This is obviously the best time to negotiate copyright with the platform.

However, seeing that Xu Kong was not shaken at all, Yuan Yinan did not continue speaking.

In addition to the fact that Xu Kong himself is the copyright owner, some of the other party's previous ideas and operations have indeed achieved quite good results.

Although Yuan Yinnan is not completely convinced by Xu Kong now, he will not underestimate him either.

Especially Xu Kong’s ideas on marketing. Many times she didn’t know where Xu Kong got so many ideas.

Although he was considered a new top idol before, Xu Kong has only been in the industry for a short time. How could he know so much about him?
"Are you leaving?"

Yuan Yinan was stunned when he saw Xu Kong starting to pack up.

"I have something else to do."

Xu Kong replied calmly.

"Just follow the plan that was decided before."

Judging from the popularity of the MV so far, there is no need to worry too much about the future.

Of course Xu Kong had made preparations. For example, after the new song and MV were released, they did not receive much popularity. How to increase the promotion in the future and so on.

"Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"

After Yuan Yinnan left, it was Su Zhi who spoke this time.

After all, it is Mid-Autumn Festival, and Su Zhi has no plans to return to her hometown, so she naturally hopes to spend it with Xu Kong.

Of course, it is quite rare for him to take the initiative to extend an invitation.

"Dinner is fine, but I may have something to do tonight."

Xu Kong replied.

"Just have a meal with me."

Su Zhi took the initiative to add a sentence.

"OK then"

Xu Kong agreed and simply did not leave, continuing to stay in the studio to accompany Su Zhi in recording songs.

Of course, he still sent a message to Zhu Yu privately, saying that he would arrive a little later.

After all, he had already promised Zhu Yu a long time ago, and Xu Kong had no intention of breaking his promise.

Originally, Xu Kong thought that Su Zhi and the entire studio would have dinner together.

But he didn't expect that in the end it would be just him and Su Zhi.

"Working overtime during the Mid-Autumn Festival is something we can't help."

"There's no need to force them to have dinner with the boss."

Su Zhi explained.

"I didn't expect you to be such a conscientious boss."

Xu Kong said with a smile.

But he was not surprised.

Su Zhi was just used to not letting herself have too big of an emotional fluctuation, and most of the time she had a cold face.

But in fact, I can empathize with other people.

I just don't like to show it.

Because we didn’t want to eat out, and both of them were terrible at cooking.

The final choice is hot pot, which is not difficult to operate.

“Too spicy?”

Xu Kong noticed that Su Zhi's face was slightly red, and couldn't help but ask.

"A little."

At this moment, Su Zhi's cell phone suddenly rang.

Noticing Xu Konglu's inquiring look, she calmly replied:
"It's my mother."

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment.

But before he could react, Su Zhi had already picked up the phone.

"Xiaozhi, have you eaten?"

A middle-aged female voice came, and the very familiar parents started asking questions.

"eating."

Listening to Su Zhi and her parents chatting about family matters, Xu Kong didn't dare to breathe.

But to his surprise, Su Zhi's mother suddenly asked:
"Xiaozhi, I saw people on the internet talking about you and that boy named Xu Kong"

Hearing this question, Su Zhi subconsciously looked at Xu Kong who was sitting opposite her.

Then he replied: "Nothing, just friends."

"I think that boy is pretty good, and handsome, if he's the right guy."

Su Zhi: "Mom!"

Xu Kong almost laughed out loud at this moment.

He really didn't expect that Su Zhi, the queen of singing, would one day be urged to get married.

Although he is only twenty-five or twenty-six, which is not too old, I guess from the perspective of his parents' generation, it seems that it is indeed time to urge him to get married.

Su Zhi glared at Xu Kong who was grinning.

"Uncle and aunt, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Su Zhi was startled by Xu Kong's voice.

Then I realized that this guy had sneaked up behind me without me noticing.

At this moment, she was bending over, sticking her head out and waving at her parents on her phone.

"Are you that Xu Kong?"

Although Su Zhi's parents don't look young, they seem to be in good spirits.

"Then let's hang up first and not disturb you young people anymore."

After seeing Xu Kong, they had a brief chat and then Su Zhi's parents hung up the video in a hurry, looking very pleased.
