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

Chapter 124 Director Xu, you don’t want your secret to be known, right?
"Brother Xiaoyao, just look at them."

Listening to the lascivious music coming to his ears, Xu Kong couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

Because the person who said this was not Youyou who also liked the same thing, but Shang Green Tea who was making trouble again.

"This bitch."

Xu Kong cursed in his heart.

I don’t know if it’s because she realized that he only dared to say it but not really do it, Shang Yuxin has changed from subtle seduction in the beginning to blatant teasing now.

And the behavior became more and more excessive.

"If you keep doing this, I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Xu Kong stared at Shang Yuxin and warned her.

Shang Yuxin was not afraid at all.

Instead, he spoke directly:
"Then give me one chance."

"Give what?"

Song Youyou's voice suddenly came, which scared Shang Yuxin.

In the end, because the sound was not contained, he started coughing violently.

"cough cough"

"No, I was just joking with Director Xu, asking him to show me his Best Male Singer trophy once."

Shang Yuxin returned to normal and spoke calmly.

"I remember Brother Xu Kong said it seemed to be left at the company. If we want to watch it, we can probably only wait until we finish filming and go back."

Song Youyou recalled seriously.

Xu Kong also answered:
"I told you to let the company go, but you didn't believe me."

"It's not that I won't give it to you. If I really give it to you, would you dare to take it?"

Shang Yuxin glared at Xu Kong.

Song Youyou didn't hear the question, but she knew what Xu Kong meant.

"I dare to ask for it, why not?"

"is not it"

"Isn't he just a singer? Is it okay to be scolded by those people online? It's no big deal!"

Although Song Youyou was a little confused when she heard this, she still looked at Xu Kong with concern and asked:

"Brother Xu Kong, are those online opinions really okay?"

"Do you want me to ask Sister Hong to help you deal with it?"

Xu Kong waved his hand.

"Never mind, I'm too lazy to even look at it."

"Youyou, don't look at it either. Don't let it affect the filming state..."

After Xu Kong won the Best Male Singer of the Year award, the public opinion storm surrounding the incident with Bai Mintao subsided.

But within a few days, a large number of internet trolls appeared online to stir up trouble.

It's nothing more than that Xu Kong is not worthy of being called the king of singers, and people question his level and ability.

In fact, all of this was within Xu Kong's expectations.

It's not necessarily the rhythm that Bai Mintao deliberately set.

But from the organized marketing articles and the various water armies controlling comments and muddying the waters, it can be seen that this is definitely organized and planned.

This kind of thing, even if it is Fengge, or any other big company in the entertainment industry, it is estimated that they will have no way to investigate.

The main reason is that Xu Kong’s winning of the award itself was too much of a publicity stunt.

Coupled with his overly strong statement "If you're not good at it, just practice more", it was bound to arouse jealousy and hostility from many of his peers in the industry.

It's possible for anyone.

Even artists under Fengge.

In the entertainment industry, this kind of maliciousness that wants to see you die at any time can be seen everywhere.

Even if you don't even know each other, have never spoken a word, or met each other, they will still take the opportunity to mess with you.

Especially with the pace of things being so fast recently, there are more people taking advantage of the situation.

Song Youyou was called away by Linhong after just a few words.

Only Xu Kong and Shang Yuxin were left.

But this time Shang Yuxin didn't act up, but asked seriously: "Are you really not going to respond a little?"

"I feel like if this pace continues, it's not going to do you any good."

Shang Yuxin suggested, thinking that she was here as a guest.

At the beginning, people just said that Xu Kong was not qualified to win the award, and many people even started spreading completely false rumors about Xu Kong.

Although it sounds outrageous at first, saying that Xu Kong was arranged by Feng Ge to win the award, and that Xu Kong's family is some big shot in the entertainment industry and so on.

But three people make a tiger, and as these rumors spread, maybe some people will actually believe them.

Usually at times like this, once a lawyer's letter is sent out, most of these marketing accounts will behave themselves.

Xu Kong replied: "The company is already handling it."

Shang Yuxin shook her head.

"I mean you respond in person."

Shang Yuxin felt that although Xu Kong's four-word response after receiving the award looked very cool, he still needed to say some heartfelt words in the follow-up to increase his public friendliness.

But Xu Kong’s current approach is to completely ignore it.

Although with Feng Ge's public relations ability, this incident will not have much impact on him in the future.

But in general it is still not as beneficial as explaining it yourself.

"I have a better way to respond."

Xu Kong waved his hand indifferently.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Shang Yuxin curled her lips.

"Good intentions are treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Xu Kong looked at Shang Yuxin who was leaving, but he was not angry.

Of course he knew that it would be best if Shang Yuxin herself gave a serious response to what she said.

If it were in his previous life, Xu Kong would definitely do this.

But in fact, precisely because he knew all this too well, he also knew that even if he responded personally, the role it played would be nothing more than appeasing the fans. Apart from playing the victim and moving the fans to tears, the actual role it could play was not as great as he thought.

Compared with this method, explaining through actions is the most powerful.

The Xu Kong in the past did not have such an opportunity or such ability.

But now, this method finally works.

Since people do not agree that he is worthy of the Best Singer of the Year award and believe that he is not worthy of being the king of singers, the simplest way is to let his works speak for him.

There’s nothing that a hit single can’t explain.

If so, two.

If two songs don't work, then three.
The thing Xu Kong has the most is songs.

By mid-December, the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" had been completed by about one-third.

There was some delay along the way due to unexpected situations such as damage to props.

But overall it was still faster than Xu Kong had imagined.

The only annoying problem is that once he leaves, the entire crew will have to take a vacation.

According to Xu Kong's original idea, when he had to leave for something, he could shoot some scenes that did not involve him.

But for some reason, Xu Kong was not satisfied with the finished film after watching it.

The crew's assistant director and several executive directors are all under Fengge. Zhu Yu also specially helped Xu Kong screen them, so there is definitely no problem with their abilities.

Xu Kong couldn't find any fault with the photos he took, but for some reason, he just felt that they didn't have that flavor.

It's not just about the shots, it's also about the scheduling of actors.

Later, Xu Kong realized that when he first started filming, he actually already had a fairly successful original film as a reference.

I know exactly what style and effect I want.

But these are not things that can be explained clearly.

The end result was that even though he had made his requirements very clear, the finished film still lacked the fairy-tale style that he approved of.

There is no other way, all the subsequent shots have to be re-shot. …

"The time for the live broadcast of the final of Our Song has been set."

"Take some time to prepare. This stage is very important to you."

Xu Kong glanced at the message sent by Zhu Yu and replied with an expression that said “I understand”.

In fact, there is nothing worthy of attention about the program "Our Song" itself.

Whether Xu Kong wins the championship in the end is not the key issue.

Mainly because after the Chinese Music Festival some time ago, this time he participated in the "Our Song" program, which was Xu Kong's first public performance stage after that incident.

I don’t know how many people are watching quietly.

So this time it’s not just about the finals of a variety show, it must have other meanings for Xu Kong.

Even if Xu Kong won the championship in the end, there would still be doubts from the outside world, but it would be able to shut up most of them.

Those who are behind the scenes will also be a little more obedient.

"It seems that the plan to release the album has to be brought forward."

Xu Kong said to himself.

He really feels that he doesn't have enough time now.

However, unlike in the past when his schedule was packed with various announcements as a top star, Xu Kong’s schedule now is probably filled until February or March next year just for filming and recording songs.

After all, even if the filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is completed, Xu Kong still needs to spend time to personally supervise the subsequent post-production editing and special effects.

So now think about the advice Zhu Yu gave him at the time, asking him to take fewer advertising endorsements and activities.

Well, there is no need to worry about it. I simply don’t have the time and energy for it.

It has been almost two months since Xu Kong left Fengqing Entertainment and joined Fengge.

Not only did they not make a penny, but they also spent more than 200 million yuan of Fengge's investment.

It has to be said that this is only possible in a big company like Fengge. If Xu Kong were in a company with average background, he would not be able to receive such treatment.

Having spent such a huge amount of money to buy back the contract, most companies would probably wish to split Xu Kong's one day into two days.

On this point, although Lin Hong basically never gave Xu Kong a good look, he was still very grateful to her.

"We have to wear couple outfits too!"

Because she had promised to let Song Youyou go to the finals of "Our Song", Song Youyou started preparing her past makeup in advance.

I have to say that sometimes Xu Kong has no idea what Song Youyou is focusing on.

For example, this time, Xu Kong didn't expect that when he and Su Zhi attended the award ceremony, they were wearing couple outfits, which were said to be couple outfits by a bunch of CP fans on the Internet.

This time, Song Youyou also insisted on wearing couple outfits with Xu Kong.

However, after seeing the clothes the other party chose, Xu Kong could only refuse with a dark face.

The most that he and Su Zhi had was that the colors of their clothes matched Feng Ge's, but Song Youyou's was completely obvious.

Wearing this outfit to attend the show is no longer just a matter of spreading rumors. I guess people outside will think that the two of them are in the public eye.

"no!"

Today, Song Youyou saw a video clip online of Xu Kong and Su Zhi walking the red carpet at a music festival, with a caption about how well-matched they were. She was so angry that she ended up arguing with them.

As a result, he was beaten to a pulp by the opponent.

"Obviously Xu Kong and Su Zhi are the most suitable match, Song Youyou is not suitable!"

"Indeed, Song Youyou only liked Xu Kong because they played a couple. Otherwise, how could anyone support them? Besides, it is said that they are not even close in private."

"The Xu You Party is here again. I feel like you guys can't even get together all the video material except for the drama "Want to See You"?"

The more she read, the angrier she got. The more she argued, the angrier she got. Song Youyou, who was not good at speaking, had never been so angry even when she saw comments scolding her online in the past.

"Be obedient!"

There was no other way, Xu Kong could only try his best to comfort her.

Song Youyou often has the temper of a willful child.

But the good thing is that he is very easy to coax. Basically, as long as Xu Kong speaks a few words in a soft voice, the other party will no longer object.

"Then it's a deal. After the show, you have to accompany me to the night market in Star City!"

After arguing with Xu Kong for a while, Song Youyou finally softened her tone.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing girls."

Song Youyou continued to pick out new clothes when Shang Yuxin suddenly jumped out and spoke.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Kong was also a little surprised to see Shang Yuxin appear.

He wasn't sure what the other party had just heard.

“It’s been here since the beginning.”

"Hey, I'm here to get my costumes."

Shang Yuxin held up a set of ancient costume that Lin Yueru wore in the play and shook it.

"Director Xu, you don't want your secret to be known by others, right?"

Shang Yuxin said with a smile.

Xu Kong rolled his eyes at the other person.

He didn't think that Shang Yuxin was surrounding him and Song Youyou every day on the crew, and he didn't notice anything.

"That's so boring, why aren't you nervous at all?"

Shang Yuxin was a little disappointed that she didn't see Xu Kong's panic expression as she had imagined.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Xu Kong waved his hand.

"and many more!"

Shang Yuxin called Xu Kong.

"I have a request"

Xu Kong stopped.

"Don't even think about it. I won't give it to you."

Shang Yuxin was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a while.

"Give what."

However, she had only said half of her words when she suddenly recalled what she had said to Xu Kong when she was teasing him before, asking him to give her a chance.

Shang Yuxin blushed.

But he recovered quickly.

"I want to ask, you will definitely make movies in the future, right?"

Xu Kong didn't expect the other party to suddenly bring this up.

But he still nodded.

According to the normal development trajectory, whether as a director or an actor, the ceiling of movies is still higher than that of TV series.

However, for Xu Kong now, it is better to gain a foothold in the field of TV dramas first.

"Then can you consider leaving a suitable role for me at that time?"

Shang Yuxin asked seriously.

As if she was afraid that Xu Kong might misunderstand her, she added, "I'm not threatening you or anything. Even if you don't agree, I won't tell anyone about you and Youyou."

Xu Kong looked at Shang Yuxin in front of him with some surprise.

"It's too early to talk about this now."

Xu Kong said perfunctorily, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Shang Yuxin watched Xu Kong leave and did not try to keep him.

In fact, when Shang Yuxin first took on this drama, she agreed to the role just for the role of Lin Yueru.

But as the filming lasted nearly a month, her opinion of Xu Kong changed a lot.

The most important aspect is that she has a deep premonition that Xu Kong has enormous potential in the future, at least to the level of a top domestic director.

Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, after all, Xu Kong himself is still only a newcomer in this regard, and this "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has not even been completed yet.

But Shang Yuxin just felt this way.

And her feeling had never been wrong so many times before.
