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

Chapter 180 Is it Minmin who misses me, or Minmin’s mom?
On the set, after the third take of the last scene, Xu Kong finished watching the footage on the monitor, stood up and said with a smile:
"I declare that The Long Season has been completed!"

It took a total of about two months and the entire drama was completed.

This was far beyond Xu Kong's expectations.

Most of the credit should be attributed to the good selection of actors.

For example, the two movie kings Guan Hua and Chen Shuang, almost all of their scenes were performed in one take.

Although some of the veteran actors in the play are not well-known, their acting skills are also very good.

This greatly shortened the shooting period that Xu Kong had originally predicted.

Of course, in addition to this, there are also the crew members this time, who are almost the same as when The Legend of Sword and Fairy was first produced.

Almost everyone doesn’t need too much of a running-in period, and they can get into the state completely as soon as filming starts.

Moreover, after Guo Zihao filmed three dramas with him, he gradually gained more experience.

Including the early stage shooting, props and so on, director Xu Kong didn't have to spend much time thinking about it, Guo Zihao had almost solved all of them.

"Director Xu, I hope we can have the opportunity to work together again next time."

Movie star Guan Hua came over and said with a smile.

He did take on the role because of the script and after hearing that Chen Shuang had agreed to star in the show.

Although I haven't filmed a TV series for many years, this is also the first web drama in my career.

But after two months of getting along with Xu Kong, his impression of Xu Kong has changed a lot.

In his opinion, considering Xu Kong's age, his future has unlimited possibilities.

It is indeed quite rare to find a director who can both write scripts and shoot films.

Guan Hua is not opposed to a second collaboration with Xu Kong.

Even though it’s still a web drama.

After Guan Hua left, Chen Shuang also came over.

It wasn't easy for him to shoot this drama, but it wasn't because of his acting.

The most important thing is the decoration.

It takes too much time and energy. Every time I put on and take off makeup, even if I am performing with fat props weighing more than ten or twenty pounds, it is a lot of pain.

But Chen Shuang was extremely glad that he had agreed to Xu Kong.

Mainly because during the filming, he could see that Xu Kong's abilities were much stronger than those of some film directors.

Moreover, he has been on the set until now, so he is naturally familiar with the cast and the complete script.

In his heart, this drama is at least of a much higher quality than the movies he has taken on in recent years.

The appearance of this drama Xu Kong shook his previous thoughts and ideas.

If possible, he might really break his principle of only accepting movie scripts in the future.

Anyway, the quality of the movie scripts he can get now is just so-so.

It is better to be more open-minded, ease the financial pressure, and try a different route from the past.

"I feel like the role in my next drama is quite suitable for you."

Xu Kong thought for a moment, then spoke with a smile.

Chen Shuang was also a little surprised by Xu Kong’s words.

After all, the filming had just finished and the other party already had ideas for the next drama.

It turns out that young people are still full of energy.

"I will definitely be waiting for Director Xu's new script."

Chen Shuang answered without hesitation.

In his opinion, he is not opposed to taking on roles in other TV dramas or web series.

But in comparison, Xu Kong's is still more reliable.

He would be quite satisfied if the quality of the script could reach two-thirds of that of "The Long Season".

A wrap-up banquet after the filming is definitely a must.

However, after Xu Kong came here, he hardly drank any alcohol, mainly for the sake of his throat.

It was also because of the problem with my throat in my previous life that left a trauma.

Fortunately, almost all the crew members are veteran actors in the industry, so it is not difficult for the young director Xu Kong.

The overall atmosphere is pretty good.

So on the second day after the filming was completed, Xu Kong asked Guo Zihao to stay on the set to pack up, while he himself returned to Beijing in advance with all the materials.

Although the filming is completed, the post-editing and production still takes a lot of time.

Unlike the original "Legend of Sword and Fairy", most of the time was spent on the production of special effects.

"The Long Season" is not very large, with only twelve episodes in total.

But each episode is quite long, some can even be more than one hour or nearly two hours, which is equivalent to the length of a movie.

And more importantly, there are all kinds of details in it.

This aspect tests the patience and energy of post-editing even more.

He was not at ease leaving Xu Kong to anyone else except himself.

Therefore, it is likely that he will find it difficult to have free time in the future.

"came back?"

Seeing Xu Kong appear in her office, although Zhu Yu did not show much excitement, her expression could not hide her joy.

"Well, I'm back."

Zhu Yu took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack beside her, then looked at Xu Kong carefully.

"Why do you feel darker?"

Xu Kong nodded indifferently.

"The ultraviolet rays over there are a bit strong."

After all, we shot a lot of outdoor scenes, so it's normal to get a little tanned.

"By the way, Ding Lixin has come to see you several times recently."

"Let me contact him when you get back."

Zhu Yu suddenly remembered and spoke.

"It should be about asking me to help him write songs for his new drama..."

Xu Kong didn't forget.

His second drama has been completed, and it seems that Director Ding’s "Night Without Promise" has just completed post-production recently. The project cycle is much longer than his "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Hmm~"

Zhu Yu was startled by Xu Kong's sudden attack.

Subconsciously wanting to push the other person away.

But when she found that he didn't push her away, she stopped resisting and let Xu Kong kiss her.

"How come your office doesn't even have a lounge!"

Xu Kong couldn't help but complain.

He thought this was the most unreasonable design of Fengge’s artist department building.

Zhu Yu's manager's office is not small, but it is in plain sight, with no place that is slightly hidden.

After hearing Xu Kong's words, Zhu Yu naturally understood what he meant instantly.

He answered quietly:
"It was there originally, but I took it down."

The main reason is that Zhu Yu couldn’t use it anyway.

Although she would take a nap, most of the time she would use the folding chair she brought with her.

As for the lounge, it is inevitable that there is some waste of space.

She never thought that one day she would be useful.

But even if there was, Zhu Yu probably still wouldn't be able to accept Xu Kong messing around here.

Although Xu Kong's behavior is becoming more and more bold and she has been indulging him, Zhu Yu feels that that is her bottom line and it will definitely not be broken so easily.

While Zhu Yu was still daydreaming, she suddenly felt a chill in front of her.

Xu Kong lifted up the black undershirt in a flash.

"What are you doing?"

Zhu Yu scolded subconsciously.

Unexpectedly, Xu Kong's answer was quite simple, just one word.

"you."

The actions of the two at this time made Zhu Yu blush with embarrassment.

She leaned back in her office chair. Everything in front of her was pitch black. Her vision was completely blocked by her clothes. She could only vaguely see the blurry outline of Xu Kong in front of her.

The key point is that Xu Kong was originally carrying the clothes himself.

But later, he found some troubles, so he said, "Sister Yu, please help me."

Zhu Yu didn't know how to refuse, so she could only take it silently.

It seemed as if she had lifted it up on her own initiative.

Xu Kong already had experience, and at this point he could be said to be completely familiar with the process.

After just three or two bites, the hiding particles revealed their original form.

However, due to the height issue, it is really too troublesome to bend over all the time.

Xu Kong simply picked up Zhu Yu and let her sit on the edge of the desk.

This is indeed easier to operate, and the weak points are also exposed directly.

Zhu Yu thought that she could normally hold on for quite a long time.

But in Xu Kong's hands, it didn't even last five minutes this time.
The documents and ornaments on Zhu Yu's desk, which were originally arranged very neatly, were now in a mess.

And she herself was not much better.

But at this moment Zhu Yu no longer had the energy to tidy up.

She had never experienced this feeling of being completely exhausted.

"Sister Yu, are you okay?"

Xu Kong let Zhu Yu lie there for a while before he asked.

The blush still remained on Zhu Yu's face, and she just gave Xu Kong a blank look.

As if to say, "What do you think?"

As the culprit, Xu Kong did not show any remorse at this moment.

"It's not time to rest yet."

Xu Kong spoke.

After hearing this, Zhu Yu waved her hands subconsciously in panic.

"He answered quietly."

"I can not make it."

"Sister Yu, you can't just think about yourself."

Xu Kong strongly condemned it.

Zhu Yu was startled.

I covered my mouth almost subconsciously.

Looking at Zhu Yu who was a little at a loss, Xu Kong could only guide her to help.

It can be seen that Zhu Yu has almost no experience.

The movements are clumsy, the mouth is clumsy and the hands are slow.

"I won't dare let you come to my place anymore."

Zhu Yu squatted on the ground and wiped the floor with a tissue, then glanced at Xu Kong and complained.

Xu Kong scratched his head.

He also stayed in the crew for too long and held it in for too long.

Open the window to get some fresh air.

Zhu Yu sniffed it carefully again and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you going to pick up Minmin today?"

Xu Kong asked.

"I'll pick it up myself after get off work."

Zhu Yu knew what Xu Kong was planning and quickly spoke up.

"I'm just fine today"

Xu Kong continued to fight for it.

However, Zhu Yu perhaps wanted to teach Xu Kong a lesson for messing up her office, so she refused again.

Looking at Xu Kong who was somewhat depressed.

Zhu Yu finally felt a little reluctant.

Finally, he spoke tentatively:
"Are you busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Minmin said she missed her big brother a little bit."

Xu Kong laughed after hearing this and couldn't help but asked back:

"Is it Minmin who misses me, or Minmin's mom?"
