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

Chapter 277 Finally broke out, Fengge's huge crisis
Before, Zhu Changyun just couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Because it has been a long time since any so-called artist or director in the circle spoke to me in that tone.

Even if the other party is an award-winning actor or actress, or a so-called big director, when they hear Zhu Changyun's name, their attitude will definitely be respectful.

But unexpectedly, Xu Kong not only spoke to him rudely.

He even started scolding himself without any hesitation.

"What did you say?"

At this moment, Zhu Changyun was really doubting whether he had heard it wrongly.

The main purpose of his visit this time was naturally to prepare for Xu Kong to leave Fengge and join his new company.

After all, at present, almost all of the original Feng Ge had been secretly transferred by him.

Including but not limited to middle and senior management with outstanding abilities, as well as the company's most important veteran superstars and more than a dozen well-known directors in the circle.

Before long, the entire Fengge will be just an empty shell.

……

He believed that as long as he told Xu Kong the facts, the other party would make a more wise choice.

Fengge was once one of the largest film and television companies in the industry.

After this incident, it is not just a matter of serious damage, but there is a high probability that we will return to the situation more than ten years ago.

As long as one has a little bit of ideals of his own, for the sake of future development, it is unlikely that one will continue to stay in Fengge, which is just an empty shell.

In addition, Zhu Changyun actually wanted to poach Xu Kong before.

But when he thought about Xu Kong's rather ambiguous relationship with Song Youyou from the Song family, it was indeed not so easy to convince him.

If it fails, Zhu Changyun won't care too much.

The main reason why he still came to meet Xu Kong in person and the reason why he attached so much importance to him was naturally that the box office performance of Xu Kong's new movie "Sweet Honey" was too dazzling.

Unexpectedly strong box office appeal, coupled with an extremely talented screenwriter and director.

Xu Kong's commercial value is such that, not to mention the sky-high signing fee, he is even a genius who is willing to give up shares in the company.

……

But before he came, he obviously underestimated the extent of Xu Kong's disgust for him.

Although he didn't look down on him, he certainly didn't take Xu Kong seriously.

At least not a character who can communicate with him on an equal footing.

It was even more obvious from Xu Kong's side. When he said "Who do you think you are", the contempt in Xu Kong's eyes was not something he intended to conceal at all.

Zhu Changyun's expression naturally took a sharp turn for the worse, from the smile he had originally had, his entire face turned completely dark.

"Young man, consider the consequences when you speak..."

Xu Kong looked at the other party who was obviously on the verge of anger, but he was not afraid at all.

He was even thinking at this moment, does this old Deng think that the things he did to him before can be forgotten?

Apart from anything else, the other party's behavior just now seemed to be inviting him to join, no, it should be said that he was inviting him to rebel and leave Fengge together, as if it was a charity to him.

……

"Do you think there's something wrong with what I'm doing?"

"Haha, let me tell you the truth. Don't think Song Quanfu is an honest man. These are just normal business practices. In this circle, the first lesson you need to learn is not to talk about so-called worthless loyalty."

Zhu Changyun naturally thought that Xu Kong had some thoughts about his betrayal of Feng Ge.

The main reason was that he didn't expect that although Xu Kong was young, after several contacts, he felt that the other party should have a very mature personality.

At least it won't be affected by these.

Is it because of Song Youyou?

Just as he was guessing this, Xu Kong suddenly shook his head lightly.

"No, I just simply feel that you are not capable enough and there is no future for me to follow you."

"Besides, you are really annoying. You look disgusting."

Xu Kong's words once again dealt a huge blow to Zhu Changyun at this time.

He could accept that Xu Kong was acting out of youthful vigor, holding a grudge, or having some so-called personal feelings.

But what he couldn't accept the most was that Xu Kong actually said that he was incompetent?
Feng Ge has been around for so many years, has that old guy ever taken care of anything?
Throughout the entire company, you are responsible for everything.

Am I not capable enough?
Apart from that, Xu Kong's next sentence was pure foul language and an undisguised personal attack.

That he looks disgusting and vulgar?
Obscene?

Zhu Changyun never thought that one day this word would appear on his head.

……

Xu Kong was satisfied with his cursing at this point, and of course he couldn't continue wasting time with Zhu Changyun.

Without any hesitation, he got up and left.

As soon as he left the private room, a loud noise came from behind him.

Zhu Changyun, who was the only one left in the room, was completely furious at this time. He turned into a master of desktop cleaning, and there were broken cups, teapots and other things on the floor.

"Xu Kong!"

"I remember you."

Zhu Changyun was so angry that he suddenly laughed.

It seems that the other party has no idea about Feng Ge's current situation.

Things had already entered the final stage, so he was not in a hurry at all.

But at this moment he was already looking forward to seeing Xu Kong's regretful expression the next moment.

He wanted this ignorant young man to regret every word he said today!

……

After Xu Kong left, not only was he not affected, but he was in a very good mood.

Although it can't be said that I have taken revenge for the previous troubles caused by the other party.

But it feels good to curse, and it naturally makes people feel happy.

This feels like directly pointing at Zhu Changyun's nose and scolding him, which is even better than the box office of "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" exceeding the original expectations.

In addition, he had always felt that Zhu Changyun, as Fengge's vice president, was always hiding in the dark and playing tricks on him. The key was that due to the other party's identity, it was not easy to confront him face to face.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard that Zhu Changyun's original plan seemed to be to leave Fengge.

Judging from what the other party said, it was nothing more than taking away Fengge’s middle and senior management, as well as most of the leading artists and directors.

It certainly sounds like the situation is not good.

But that was only for other people. As for Xu Kong, strictly speaking, this matter didn't have much impact on him.

It can even be said that it was exactly what he wanted.

Before, because Zhu Changyun had been hiding in the dark, he couldn't find his target when he wanted to take revenge.

When he was venting his anger, he even took it out on Jiying Media, who wanted to take advantage of his misfortune.

After all, it's impossible to target Fengge's own artists, right? Even if he knew that the other party had a close relationship with Zhu Changyun, the vice chairman.

But now, Zhu Changyun has left Fengge and has probably started to set up his own company.

From now on, I will have someone I can target without any scruples.

……

"what happened?"

Xu Kongcai returned to his studio when he heard Guo Zihao ask a question.

"what?"

Seeing Xu Kong didn't take it seriously.

Guo Zihao couldn't help but speak:
"I heard that after Lu Hanwen left Fengge, he did not retire or change careers, but went to other companies..." Guo Zihao said the gossip he got from somewhere.

However, in this regard, Xu Kong now naturally knows that he needs more than the other party.

Lu Hanwen, the former manager of the company's film and television department, most likely followed Zhu Changyun to the other side.

"So I realized that he was looking for you, most likely to poach you."

"You agreed?"

Guo Zihao asked urgently.

Although this matter was definitely based on Xu Kong's opinion.

Moreover, given Xu Kong's current situation, the conditions offered by the other party are likely to be quite outrageous.

But selfishly speaking, he really would rather stay in Fengge.

The main reason is that although I have only been a member for one or two years, I have already gotten used to it.

He also likes the environment and atmosphere at Fengge headquarters.

In addition, Lili (Zhu Yu's assistant) is also in Fengge, so Guo Zihao still hopes that Xu Kong can stay.

……

"Don't worry, our studio isn't going anywhere for the time being."

Xu Kong replied calmly.

This made Guo Zihao feel relieved.

But Xu Kong was indeed a little hesitant at this time.

When he was at Fengqing Entertainment, the contract he signed was indeed set to expire in more than a year.

It would be the same even if the contract was later transferred to Fengge.

Before, Xu Kong occasionally thought about whether he should go out and work on his own.

But Fengge was used to it, Xu Kong had no complaints, and the company could basically help him deal with a lot of troublesome chores. And there were no restrictions like other artists.

So Xu Kong didn’t think too much about it.

If they couldn't reach an agreement later, they could just part ways amicably when the contract expired. Xu Kong didn't think it was a big deal.

However, setting up your own company is indeed a lot of trouble.

Xu Kong thinks that it is more ideal for him to have his own studio and then affiliating it with Fengge.

But now, although Zhu Changyun is indeed abominable, he has taken away almost all of Fengge’s original core forces and artists.

Although Fengge will not go bankrupt directly in the future, there is a high possibility that it will never recover.

If that's the case, is there any need for him to stay?

Even if he did think that saving Feng Ge was just a matter of wasting energy, it didn't mean he couldn't do it.

But if Song Quanfu himself was completely devastated by the blow, would he still need to do this?

……

"Comrades: Almost a Love Story" is still in theaters. Although the single-day box office has declined, the momentum is still relatively stable.

It even hit a new high over the weekend.

After half a month of release, the domestic box office has reached 1.7 to 1.8 billion yuan. The final box office will most likely not be much different from Xu Kong's prediction of 2.5 billion yuan.

The overseas box office performance is getting better and better. In addition to Korea, which has been ranked first in the box office for two consecutive weeks, the box office in two small neighboring countries has also started to explode.

Although the market is small, a box office of over 100 million is probably already a very high number.

But a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat.

And more importantly, with "Sweet Honey" taking the lead, the ceiling of future domestic films, or Xu Kong's films, will obviously be greatly improved.

With the accumulated reputation of "Sweet Honey" on the Internet, Xu Kong's popularity has increased the most exaggeratedly.

He has even begun to be called the future leader of the new generation of domestic directors.

However, Xu Kong did not pay too much attention to these things.

Because Feng Ge's various misfortunes have indeed become more frequent recently.

The middle and senior management finally began to resign on a large scale. Some were taken away by Zhu Changyun, and some heard some rumors from somewhere, so they simply found a way out in advance and ran away.

At the same time, the contracts of a large number of the company's artists have expired and they have not chosen to renew them.

There are a large number of first- and second-tier actors, including even a dozen well-known movie kings and queens.

As for why the news was not released until the contract had completely expired, and no work had been done to discuss the renewal in advance, it is likely that it has a lot to do with Zhu Changyun and a group of Fengge’s former senior executives.

It can be said that in just less than a week, Fengge had become visibly deserted.

Although not all of them left, Feng Ge was left with only a large number of newcomers who had been claimed to be trained vigorously but had achieved no actual results.

……

In this case, you can see a very magical scene.

On the one hand, the box office of "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" continues to rise. For other producers, this would be something worth celebrating.

On the other hand, the entire Fengge community was in a state of panic.

The style of painting is indeed a bit too fragmented.

However, compared with a movie with a total box office of about 3 billion, Feng Ge’s current situation is indeed a bigger deal.

It is worth mentioning that although Xu Kong has been paying attention, he has not intervened, or in other words, with his current identity, he really can't do anything.

However, Song Fuquan, the company's chairman, has indeed never shown up during this period.

Not even a single high-level meeting has been held, as if they knew nothing.

This undoubtedly exacerbated the instability within Fengge.

Xu Kong didn't know why either.

But he could probably guess that this might be related to Zhu Changyun's betrayal.

After all, from what he heard, Zhu Changyun was a brother who had been working together with Song Fuquan since the beginning.

As a result, when Fengge was about to have been established for more than 20 years, the other party chose to betray and set up a new business, and also used the so-called trick of cutting off the source of funds.

If you put yourself in their shoes, you will find it hard to accept.

……

"Sister Hong?"

Xu Kong was a little surprised when he saw the person coming.

But he still said: "Youyou is not here with me."

Although Song Youyou has always been a heartless young lady who looks like she has a lot of smiles on her face and no worries.

But this time, Feng Ge had encountered such a big change, it was natural for her to not be unaware of it, so she must have been affected by all the rumors, and even the frequency of her visits to Xu Kong had decreased a lot.

"I'm not looking for her."

Lin Hong spoke lightly.

Then he glanced at Xu Kong.

……

"Director Song..."

Xu Kong didn't expect that Lin Hong came to him just to take him to meet Song Fuquan, who had been away from the company for a while.

However, what surprised Xu Kong even more was that Song Fuquan at this moment did not look like what was rumored in the company, that a moment of silence was more mournful than despair, and that he looked dozens of years older in an instant.

Instead, he looked as if nothing had happened.

In other words, the other party could only act so calm because he actually knew everything in advance.
