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

Chapter 99 Xu Kong is put up for sale
After the recording of "Our Song" was finished, they had originally planned to stay in Xingcheng for a few days, but now that Su Zhi was gone, Xu Kong had no reason to stay any longer, so he flew back to Hangzhou the next day.

The day after Xu Kong returned to Hangzhou, Fengqing Entertainment’s large-scale promotion of its new drama "Fantasy Adventure" began.

On Weibo alone, the topic has been on the hot search list for a week straight.

Even Xu Kong’s personal Weibo followed suit and reposted several related promotional updates.

As the director, Wen Changjia also invited Xu Kong to watch the first few episodes of the show in advance.

The other party is considered a well-known director in the industry. He has been a mercenary for major film and television companies. Even giants like Fengge have invited him to be responsible for their own film and television dramas.

Later, Yu Yaqing spent a huge amount of money to recruit him.

"Director Xu, what do you think?"

Wen Changjia obviously regarded Xu Kong as a colleague.

The performance of "Want to See You" has indeed made Xu Kong worthy of being called a professional director.

"The special effects are pretty good, the plot is fast-paced, it's pretty good."

Xu Kong smiled and gave his own evaluation.

This drama is about to be aired, and all the publicity and promotion plans have been decided long ago.

At this stage, even if Xu Kong really wanted to make some suggestions, they might not be useful.

Rather than getting into a conflict with the other party over such a trivial matter, it is better to just say some polite words to get away with it.

The special effects are nice, referring to the fancy light pollution in the film, which is actually completely useless except for making the audience realize that a huge amount of money was spent.

The fast-paced plot means that the original novel was filmed right in the first episode. The original novel had carefully laid the foundation for the world view and character settings in the early stages. If you haven't read the original novel, it is estimated that after watching three episodes, except for the male and female protagonists, it is difficult to remember the names of other characters.

Apart from that, there is no big problem with the actors' acting skills, but it just makes people feel out of the play for some unknown reason.

This has a lot to do with the lack of attention paid to makeup, scenery and other aspects.

It can be seen that Wen Changjia wanted to restore the novel as much as possible. The problem is that when it is presented on the screen, it feels like watching a group of people playing cosplay script-killing.

Xu Kong no longer paid attention to Fengqing Entertainment's new drama because there was really no need to pay attention to it.

The second episode of "Our Song" was broadcast, and Xu Kong once again became a hot topic.

The scene where Jian Junfang praised him highly on the show has become the latest famous scene.

However, because he was able to let go, Jian Junfang's apology to Xu Kong actually improved his reputation a lot.

For Xu Kong, the biggest impact was that after this episode, he was finally recognized by the domestic mainstream music circle.

No one has ever come up with conspiracy theories about how his previous songs were written by someone else.

Half a month passed and Xu Kong did not attend the recording of the third episode of "Our Song".

This was already arranged by the program team.

In the first two episodes, Xu Kong helped maintain the popularity of the show when it first aired.

Thanks to the popularity of the two songs "Seven Miles of Fragrance" and "Ordinary Friends", Xu Kong completed this task quite well.

Xu Kong still selectively accepts some performance notices as before.

By the way, I also finished writing the script for the new drama.

However, he also doesn't know when his new drama can be officially launched.

As expected, Fengqing Entertainment’s second drama completely flopped during this period.

It’s almost the same direction as the original “Youth Travel”.

One week before the broadcast of "Fantasy Adventure", the data and popularity looked quite impressive.

The reputation is not too bad, it is almost entirely due to the production team's willingness to spend money and the good special effects.

But in the second week, the number of views dropped sharply, and Fengqing Entertainment no longer controlled the comments. Data and the market will not lie.

The rating on Douban also continued to fall, finally stabilizing at 6.2, a barely passing score.

"Do you want me to urge them?" Guo Zihao asked in Xu Kong's office.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Kong shook his head.

"Forget it."

Guo Zihao: "But the company has been dragging its feet for almost a month."

What he was talking about was that Xu Kong had received commissions from several endorsements before, which might add up to over 10 million.

According to the original arrangement, the money should have been transferred to Xu Kong's account long ago.

But the money has not arrived yet, and even the shares of several subsequent performances are about to be overdue.

"Everyone knows the company's current situation. I guess they really have no money."

Xu Kong couldn't bear it in the end.

It is no longer a secret that Fengqing Entertainment has cash flow problems.

He also didn't want to add insult to injury at this time.

Although it has not really reached the point of desperation, the failure of Fengqing Entertainment's two new dramas that had been invested heavily in has had an impact on the company that has exceeded everyone's imagination.

It looks like he has to rewrite the script of his new play.

The only option is to switch to a low-budget drama.

Since the broadcast of "Fantasy Adventure", Xu Kong has not seen Yu Yaqing again.

It was not until one night when the whole drama was about to be broadcast that she received a message from Yu Yaqing, asking her to visit her home in Hangzhou.

Xu Kong came this time with the intention of talking to Yu Yaqing about his follow-up plans.

If Fengqing Entertainment wants to survive this crisis, it will definitely have to temporarily give up its original plan to enter the film and television industry. It will probably have to develop peacefully for a while.

He is confident that he can revive Fengqing Entertainment with his new drama.

But this depends on how much Yu Yaqing trusts herself.

However, as soon as he entered the door, before he could open his mouth, Yu Yaqing directly blocked Xu Kong's mouth.

Mr. Yu’s enthusiasm that evening surprised Xu Kong a little.

And he was unusually proactive throughout the whole process.

"Don't move today. I'll do it."

Since joining Fengqing Entertainment, Xu Kong has almost always been the one serving the other party.

But this time, Yu Yaqing was almost flattering, leaving Xu Kong no chance to even speak.

When I woke up the next day, Yu Yaqing had already left.

Xu Kong had already guessed something at this moment, but could only sigh helplessly.

There's nothing I can do about it, that's just Yu Yaqing's personality.

In the next few days, Xu Kong did not go to Fengqing Entertainment again, and directly asked Guo Zihao to help him postpone all subsequent announcements, saying that he was too tired and needed to have a good rest for a few days.

Although agent Guo Zihao felt a little strange, he still agreed and asked about Xu Kong's physical condition with some concern.

Xu Kong just smiled and said nothing.

What Guo Zihao didn't realize was that Xu Kong's few personal belongings at Fengqing Entertainment had disappeared.

On the third day after Xu Kong and Yu Yaqing met, news suddenly came out in the entertainment circle that shocked everyone.

The contract of Xu Kong, currently the most popular and top-tier star under Fengqing Entertainment, has been put up for sale.

The relationship between Xu Kong and Fengqing Entertainment, which lasted for more than a year, finally came to an end.
