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

Chapter 115 What is the extra story of the Fairy Sword?
"OK, this one passed."

"Take a break for now. After we finish shooting the next scene, you can take a break and have dinner."

Xu Kong was talking to Guo Zihao while watching the scenes that had just been filmed on the monitor.

Although this was only the second day of filming for The Legend of Sword and Fairy, Xu Kong had to admit one thing, that is, Shang Yuxin's acting skills were indeed better than Song Youyou's.

It is true that Song Youyou is talented, and she also has some advantages in terms of appearance.

But just talking about the few scenes in the past two days, Shang Yuxin demonstrated her very strong professional qualities as the Golden Eagle Goddess.

I have watched many dramas starring Shang Yuxin before, but the reason why Xu Kong chose her was mainly because of her suitable image.

After all, no matter how complicated the plot of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is, it is undeniable that it is still an idol drama, and the requirements for the actors' acting skills are not as high as imagined.

What is more critical is the actors' costumes, the authenticity of the props, and the level of subsequent special effects.

These are the most important factors that allow the audience to believe in the worldview of the play.

But Shang Yuxin still brought Xu Kong a big surprise.

In fact, there is still a big gap between Lin Yueru's personality in the play and Shang Yuxin. Xu Kong also saw that Shang Yuxin is not an experiential actor, but judging from some acting skills in shaping the role, the other party is really good at it.

Moreover, after Shang Yuxin entered the set, her professionalism and discipline as an actor were simply surprising.

Including Xu Kong, it was the first time since they met each other that he saw Shang Yuxin being so serious and solemn.

As expected, for someone to become a top star and win the Golden Eagle Goddess at the age of 24 or 25, it would be impossible to do so only by relying on so-called connections and persuasion.

Even Xu Kong felt that Shang Yuxin would have a good chance of succeeding just by relying on her acting skills.

It's just a matter of time.

"Why is that kid staring at me all the time?"

Shang Yuxin couldn't help but mutter something while wearing her costume.

She thought of the night after the opening ceremony, when she locked her hotel room early.

Just waiting for Xu Kong to knock on the door so that he can tease him and vent his anger before speaking out.

But until I fell asleep, Xu Kong still hadn't come.

Shang Yuxin directly classified Xu Kong as a guy who had the intention but not the courage to do something evil and who could only talk big.

After making this judgment, she felt that Xu Kong was not so difficult to deal with.

As for Xu Kong’s guesses just now, most of them were correct.

Shang Yuxin may not be serious about some other things, but she is different when it comes to her career.

Among actresses of the same age, she may have the highest status, but she is still the one who takes the most acting classes.

For each script and role, I have to think carefully before deciding whether to accept it or not.

As long as I accept the role, even if it is just a cameo with a small role, I will still treat it seriously.

In the acting industry, Shang Yuxin has her own set of principles.

Of course, Xu Kong also guessed wrong.

That is, he felt that Shang Yuxin herself was very different from the character of Lin Yueru, and the latter's performance style was entirely academic and she seldom got into the role.

Most of the characters in the past were indeed like this.

But this time, I don’t know if it was because I had read the character script that Xu Kong had given me before, or because I liked the character of Lin Yueru a little too much.

It was not until after filming began that Shang Yuxin suddenly realized that her acting this time was much better than in the past.

Although she still used the acting skills she had learned most of the time, there were certain moments when she really got into the role.

This wonderful experience of combining the academic and experiential approaches also makes Shang Yuxin's performance more and more handy.

Moreover, Xu Kong couldn't find any fault with the finished product, and she herself was quite surprised.

From time to time, I even feel like, “Have my acting skills improved so quickly?”

"Sister Yuxin, please try the cake I bought."

At lunch time, Shang Yuxin had just sat down when Song Youyou knocked on the door of the nanny car and came in.

Because it was shot on location, most of the extras just ate while sitting on the ground.

Leading actors like Shang Yuxin and Song Youyou, who are already famous, are naturally treated differently.

Both of them have dedicated assistants to take care of their meals instead of eating the boxed meals provided by the crew.

However, Shang Yuxin's food was quite vegetarian, and it was obvious that it was a diet meal specially ordered.

When Shang Yuxin found out it was Song Youyou, she smiled and quickly asked the other person to sit down opposite her.

As an artist under Fengge, she is of course very clear about Song Youyou's true identity and background.

"Thank you, Youyou."

"I just stopped eating and am still losing weight."

"Otherwise I'll be scolded by my agent again."

Shang Yuxin showed a hesitant expression, but finally waved her hand.

"Don't worry, I came here secretly, no one knows."

Seeing that Song Youyou was still persuading her, Shang Yuxin could only take the smallest piece in the box.

"Pick more!"

“That’s enough.”

Shang Yuxin quickly stopped the other person.

Doesn't her agent allow her to eat?
Of course not. Shang Yuxin has an agent, but he is just a tool. Most of the decisions are made by herself.

She looked at Song Youyou who was happily eating cake with some envy.

The other person obviously has the physique that can never get too fat no matter how much he eats.

And even if she really gained weight, given Song Youyou's status, she wouldn't think it was a big deal.

But she is not like that. In order to maintain her figure, Shang Yuxin has hardly had a full meal since she entered this industry.

She is the kind of person who can be more ruthless to herself than to others.

Because compared to not having enough to eat or something like that, she was more afraid of losing everything she had now because of these little things.

After taking a light bite, Shang Yuxin showed a surprised expression on her face, looked at the other party and said with a smile:

“It’s really delicious~”

"Just do as you say, Coach Li."

"I'll have to ask you to design the following actions."

Xu Kong spoke sincerely.

At this time, Li Shuxing, the martial arts instructor of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew, waved his hand.

"Director Xu, these are what I should do."

Xu Kong did make a lot of preparations for the filming of The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

This included adjustments to some lines and plots that were already somewhat outdated or inappropriate. Although the overall plot framework was still maintained, the studio in this regard is still not small.

However, this is when Zhu Yu's experience as an agent was demonstrated.

Among the crew members he selected for Xu Kong, he paid special attention to the action directors headed by Li Shuxing.

In Zhu Yu's words, although it is a fantasy drama, it contains a lot of action scenes, which is a very important aspect.

At that time, Xu Kong didn't pay much attention to it, but until he really joined the crew to shoot, he found that if he strictly followed some of the action designs in the original film, it would be too old-fashioned, and even a little embarrassing after watching it too much.

Fortunately, Fengge has a very high talent pool in this area in the entire domestic entertainment industry.

Action directors of Li Shuxing's caliber are probably among the best in the country.

After watching a fight scene designed by the other party, Xu Kong decided on the spot to hand over all the subsequent fight scenes of the entire play to Li Shuxing and others while keeping the plot unchanged. Of course, he also provided some of his own reference opinions.

For example, although it is a fighting scene, the actions need to be as cool and impressive as possible. After all, it is not a pure martial arts drama, so the other party still needs to be flexible in this regard.

Li Shuxing understood it very quickly, and the results that followed were indeed impeccable for Xu Kong.

Xu Kong carefully analyzed all the advantages of Xianjian.

First and foremost, the most important aspect is definitely the plot. Some details can be changed, but the overall tragic plot is indeed the main reason that makes it a classic.

Secondly, in Xu Kong’s opinion, what is equally important as the plot is the soundtrack of the entire drama, which is indeed too classic and must be preserved in its entirety.

In addition, as an idol drama in essence, the appearance of the actors is of course of paramount importance.

However, he, Song Youyou, and even Shang Yuxin can definitely support this drama.

On the other hand, most of the special effects and action design still need to be redone.

However, relying on the level of Fengge Film and Television Industry, Xu Kong was not particularly worried.

At present, except that the shooting progress is a little slower than "Want to See You", the overall shooting is relatively smooth.

"How did you come?"

Xu Kongcai returned to his room to rest, but unexpectedly Song Youyou suddenly came to him.

Moreover, the other person was still wearing Zhao Linger's clothes, and pretending to be the same as in the play.

"Sister Hong is gone!"

Song Youyou said with a happy expression.

"She said she had to go back to the capital and probably won't be back until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

But it is understandable. Although less than a week has passed since the filming started, Song Youyou is always stared at by Lin Hong.

Except when we were on the set, we didn't even have a chance to say a few words to each other in private.

"Brother Xiaoyao, please take care of Ling'er"

Song Youyou suddenly seemed to be immersed in the play, and said to Xu Kong tenderly while looking at him.

The key point is that Song Youyou is still wearing exquisite costumes at this time, which makes the sense of immersion full.

What is the extra story of the Fairy Sword?
Xu Kong complained in his heart, but he still hugged Song Youyou in front of him without much hesitation. Oh no, it was Zhao Linger.
The filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" had lasted less than a week, but Xu Kong still gave the entire crew three days off.

There is nothing that can be done about it, even though he has turned down most of the announcements and endorsements.

But some of the things that were decided at Fengqing Entertainment in the first place would definitely not be easy to regret at the last minute.

Moreover, the new episode of "Our Song" will still be recorded.

Before going to Xingcheng to record the show, Xu Kong still needs to go back to Hangzhou.

Because this time he is going to participate in an endorsement event for a domestic second-tier sports brand.

"It seems that Song Peiyu and Mr. Yu are going, and there are also many people from Fengqing Entertainment."

After getting off the plane, Guo Zihao who came with them couldn't help but give a reminder.

Xu Kong nodded naturally.

This is quite normal. After all, the endorsement of this brand was originally led by Fengqing Entertainment.

The brand also reached a cooperation with Fengqing Entertainment, and he, Song Peiyu, and two other artists of the company signed endorsement contracts together.

But no one expected that Xu Kong was sold to Feng Ge by Fengqing Entertainment in the blink of an eye.

"You have to control yourself, don't mess around!"

Before Guo Zihao could say anything, Xu Kong took the initiative and reminded him.

"Am I that hot-tempered?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Kong nodded firmly.

In his impression, every time Guo Zihao saw Song Peiyu, he seemed to be easily ignited by a casual word from the other party.

Most of the time it is the assistants or agents who advise the artists to calm down, but when it comes to them, it's the opposite. It's totally the opposite!

Guo Zihao couldn't help but complain in his heart.

But there's really nothing to refute.

Xu Kong's temper was such that he didn't worry at all that the other party would be impulsive, as if he was the one who was prone to impulsiveness.

"Teacher Xu Kong, your lounge is over here, please follow me."

The brand side is quite enthusiastic about Xu Kong.

Strictly speaking, Xu Kong left Fengqing Entertainment but still did not terminate his contract with them, which shows he is quite professional.

Moreover, compared to Song Peiyu, Xu Kong is currently more popular in all aspects. For the brand, of course, they do not want to lose such a spokesperson.

Especially since Xu Kong joined Fengge and its commercial activities have been significantly reduced, this endorsement has become even more valuable.

Not far away, Xu Kong saw Yu Yaqing chatting and laughing with the brand manager.

Will Xu Kong’s departure have any impact on Fengqing Entertainment?
Of course there are. After all, Xu Kong is one of the most successful traffic stars cultivated by Fengqing Entertainment in recent years, or even since its establishment.

But really speaking, it doesn't seem to have that much of an impact.

Fengqing Entertainment returned to its original operating model by selling Xu Kong's contract.

Over the past few months, I have gradually recovered.

The way Fengqing Entertainment survives in the industry means that the importance of the artists themselves is not too high.

As long as the company's internal marketing operations department is still operating, it can still make profits by training a steady stream of new people.

And with veteran top stars like Song Peiyu, the basic base is still there.

Yu Yaqing also saw Xu Kong, and the expression on her face changed briefly, but quickly returned to normal.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded to Xu Kong from a distance.

The process of the event is relatively simple. In fact, most of the advertisements, posters, etc. have been shot. This is just a simple event. Artists like Xu Kong came here just to help with the stage.

After coming out of the bathroom, Yu Yaqing was just about to wash her hands. When she saw Xu Kong, she was stunned for a moment.

The atmosphere was a little awkward at this time, but she still took the initiative to ask: "Is Feng Ge adapting well?"

"Okay."

Xu Kong replied indifferently.

"I"

Yu Yaqing was about to speak when Xu Kong kissed her.

Before, Yu Yaqing had hardly ever seen Xu Kong so strong.

After struggling for a long time, she finally pushed Xu Kong away.

Yu Yaqing, with a flushed face, breathed heavily.

He originally wanted to scold the other party subconsciously, but thinking that Xu Kong was no longer an artist of his company, he did not say a word in the end.

After looking around and finding that there was no one around, Yu Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief.

After giving Xu Kong a warning glare, Yu Yaqing tidied up her messy OL professional attire and quickly left.

After walking for a while, Yu Yaqing looked at the stockings on her legs and found that they were in a horrible state.

"This kid must have done it on purpose!"

While taking off her stockings, Yu Yaqing said something angrily.

But soon he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Didn't she expect that Xu Kong would have such a slightly childish way of revenge?
