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

Chapter 288 I have a new song, are you interested in singing?
ps: The previous chapter (286) has been reviewed and will probably be released tomorrow

……

The main purpose of Xu Kong's visit to Hangzhou this time was naturally to discuss the investment and filming preparations for "The Hidden Corner".

The main thing is to bring some people from Fengqing Entertainment.

Paying the money is secondary. After all, Xu Kong is now one of the bosses of two companies. Investment issues do not require much negotiation. Both sides can just take half.

Of course, giving up some positions in the crew to Fengqing Entertainment was not an easy thing to do.

After all, most of the main members of Xu Kong’s own crew are fixed.

But because of the traitor Zhu Changyun, he brought a lot of staff from Xu Kong's crew with him, and now they need to be replenished.

It has to be said that after the initial failure, Yu Yaqing is no longer reckless.

I plan to take it slow, including my own actors and related talents in the film and television industry. I will no longer pursue overnight success, but plan to cultivate them slowly.

And with Xu Kong's help, it will not be a big problem for Fengqing Entertainment to put together its own basic team in the future.

……

"Do I need to move Fengqing Entertainment to the capital?"

After all, Yu Yaqing used to run her own company, so the decision-making power was in her hands alone.

But now, of course, she would not forget that Xu Kong was also one of the bosses of the company.

So I thought about asking Xu Kong what he thought.

Yu Yaqing’s idea was very simple. Feng Qingyu went to Beijing, and because of Xu Kong, the other party could take care of both sides.

Moreover, she had had similar ideas before, but because Fengqing Entertainment and Fengge were not on the same level in scale and status at the time, it seemed as if she was taking advantage of Fengge by relying on Xu Kong's relationship.

But now, Fengge needs to start over, and the two companies have many areas for cooperation. Overall, it is a mutually beneficial situation.

The most important thing is that Xu Kong is the boss of both sides, so cooperation will definitely be much simpler, and there will not be any suspicion or defensive mentality between the two sides.

In addition, out of selfish considerations, Yu Yaqing really hopes to have more opportunities to meet Xu Kong.

Being able to see each other only once every few months was certainly not what Yu Yaqing had imagined.

……

At this time, Xu Kong was listening and studying the other person's feet.

I have to say that, in comparison, Mr. Yu’s advantage in this regard is indeed close to perfection.

Even without the black stockings to cover it up, there are still no flaws.

Coupled with Mr. Yu’s unique footwork, the experience is absolutely unique.

"Being not……"

After thinking for a while, Xu Kong spoke.

"It would be better if Fengqing Entertainment stayed in the south to develop."

Although Xu Kong has always disliked the regional rules of the entertainment industry.

But we have to admit that this is how the industry works.

The companies and artists in the north, mainly in Beijing, and the surrounding areas of Shanghai in the south have indeed formed their own small circles.

Some hidden environments that are not easy to see in terms of resources and relationships definitely exist.

Therefore, Feng Ge maintains his own network of relationships in the capital. Although the current situation is not very good, as it develops slowly in the future, it is unlikely that he will always regard everyone as the so-called enemy.

We still need so-called partners.

The same goes for Fengqing Entertainment.

Although Fengqing Entertainment is not a big company now, it does not have much say.

But what is certain is that if Xu Kong decides to help, it will be impossible for the company to remain at its current scale and status.

……

"I see."

Yu Yaqing naturally understood what Xu Kong meant.

But still seemed a little surprised.

Because from Xu Kong's tone and thoughts, it seems that he thinks Fengqing Entertainment may become a big company like Fengge in the future?

Two years ago, although Yu Yaqing had such ambitions in her heart, if a young man told her that he could do it.

She would definitely think that the other person had something wrong with his brain.

But now, this person is Xu Konghua, and she suddenly began to look forward to it.

……

Before, the fact that Xu Kong became one of the bosses of Fengqing Entertainment was not publicized much.

The main reason was that Xu Kong, as an artist under Fengge at the time, had a somewhat special identity.

But now, of course, there is no such concern.

When he entered the headquarters of Fengqing Entertainment Company, he became legitimate.

"Is that all these people?"

Xu Kong spent about a whole morning meeting most of the young artists currently under Fengqing Entertainment.

"Well, that's all."

Yu Yaqing nodded.

Although she didn't know Xu Kong's specific thoughts, she should be able to guess his general purpose.

“The foundation is too poor…”

Xu Kong was quite helpless.

There is no way. Fengqing Entertainment’s strength has always been marketing.

Therefore, the new artists they have made popular are almost all traffic idols.

They become popular quickly, but also become outdated quickly. Their main purpose is to make quick money.

He met with about fifty people, but was not satisfied with any of them. Some of them did not even understand basic music theory, and even sang out of tune when they sang a cappella.

Even if he really wants to make her famous, to be honest, apart from her slightly decent looks, she really doesn't have much value in training.

Of course, this is from Xu Kong's perspective.

But many of these people are indeed very popular now, have a high fan base, and are willing to spend money.

It can be said that it is even one of the main sources of income for Fengqing Entertainment at present.

If you think about it carefully, the situation was actually the same when Xu Kong first traveled through time.

Fengqing Entertainment has its own operating model.

Moreover, being able to achieve the current scale, there will definitely be no major problems in business.

But in this case, the company's ceiling is fixed.

It was because of this that Yu Yaqing chose to try to transform and start producing TV series.

But the subsequent results are no longer a secret.

……

"Oh, there seems to be one more!"

Yu Yaqing seemed to know what kind of artist Xu Kong needed and suddenly spoke.

"Xiao Xu, go call Mao Yuzhe over!"

She looked at her female assistant and spoke.

"He participated in a music talent show on Mango TV before and became a little famous for a while, but was later eliminated."

"After signing the contract, I found that our company's original operating model did not have much effect..."

When Xu Kong heard the name, he felt it was familiar.

I finally remembered it now.

"Is that the contestant who started arguing with the judges?"

Yu Yaqing also nodded.

It happened a while ago.

The new music talent show on Mango TV is called "Sing! China". Of course, apart from some signed artists that management companies want to promote, most of the singers are amateurs.

But after the performance, when the judges criticized Mao Yuzhe's performance and the scene, he directly refuted them on the spot and started arguing with them.

It immediately became the number one trending search on Weibo.

The reason why Xu Kong paid attention to it was mainly because Mao Yuzhe directly compared the judge with Xu Kong at that time.

Then he said that the other party was not even as good as a single hair of Xu Kong.

Yes, this is the original sentence.

As for the judge, he was an old acquaintance of Xu Kong.

When he participated in Mango TV programs such as "Our Song" and "Singer", Yu Huai was repeatedly reduced to Xu Kong's background board.

Yu Huai is indeed an artist under Mango TV, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is their biological son.

These various resources have never been cut off.

Although his development speed is not as fast as that of Xu Kong, who is a cheating guy, his long-term appearances in various variety shows and performances, as well as evening parties, make him still one of the very active young singers.

Coupled with his good vocal talent and his works of average but acceptable quality, he has made quite a successful career.

……

Of course, although he was criticized, Yu Huai did not direct his anger towards Xu Kong.

Yu Huai himself is not a person with low emotional intelligence. On the contrary, it is precisely because he knows how to deal with people that he can always have an endless supply of mango resources.

He also knew the relationship between Xu Kong and Wu Youxue, so of course he wouldn't take the initiative to make himself uncomfortable.

"Then let's meet..."

Xu Kong thought about it and nodded in agreement.

In fact, although he knew Mao Yuzhe and could see that he was even one of his fans.

But this prickly personality can easily get into trouble.

If possible, Xu Kong would still prefer to train some singers who are more obedient.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xu Kong was stunned.

His thoughts now really change very quickly, and he becomes so-called capital, and weighing the pros and cons seems to come out of instinct.

If it were before, Xu Kong might have been slightly more interested in Mao Yuzhe, an artist with a stronger personality.

……

Mao Yuzhe was signed by Fengqing Entertainment because he did not have many options to realize his dream of becoming a singer.

Including a series of operations arranged by the company afterwards, although they were not what he wanted to do, he had no choice but to accept them honestly.

It’s a pity that not everyone can become an idol or traffic star.

He is not ugly, but he is far from being handsome. The key point is that the way he confronted the judges on that show made it impossible for the idol to stand up as an important person.

It can be said that in just over a month, Mao Yuzhe has gone from being an ignorant newbie to someone who completely understands the cruelty of the entertainment industry.

This road is far from as simple as he thought, and the blows of reality always come before people can react.

……

"Teacher Xu Kong?"

Mao Yuzhe was called from home to the company, and he thought the company was going to terminate the contract with him.

It was not until I saw Xu Kong that I realized what was going on.

He didn't have many friends in Fengqing Entertainment, so naturally he had no way of knowing in advance that Xu Kong was coming.

Mao Yuzhe doesn't look very old, but he is still a few years older than Xu Kong.

Of course, in Xu Kong's view, these are not very important things.

"Sing two songs first, sing your best songs."

Xu Kong went straight to the point and spoke.

For Mao Yuzhe, he certainly knew that he seemed to have a hard-won opportunity.

He quickly chose a rock song that he sang the most, which was also the one he sang when he participated in the show.

This song was sung by a certain singing king, but it wasn't very old, only four or five years ago. It wasn't very popular, but it was also quite famous. At least Xu Kong had heard it.

Mao Yuzhe's voice is very penetrating, and most importantly, it is not the hoarse and low type commonly seen in rock singers, but rather very clean.

I have to say, I met so many artists under Fengqing Entertainment today.

Only Mao Yuzhe can barely show the level of a professional singer.

For Xu Kong, this is certainly good news.

……

For the second song, Mao Yuzhe actually sang Xu Kong’s previous song "Ordinary Road".

This time, we changed to singing with accompaniment.

However, compared with Xu Kong, Mao Yuzhe's song "Ordinary Road" is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.

Just like the title of the song, although the chorus still has a high-pitched part, this song is more about the feeling of telling a story.

Especially the feeling of being able to let go after going through everything.

The reason why Xu Kong can sing with this feeling is because he has experienced another life.

Mao Yuzhe’s words, after all, are still young, and overall it seems more like a roar against the so-called injustice. The emotional catharsis in the song is not quite suitable for the song itself.

Of course, his voice itself is definitely a good match for this song.

At least it can be seen that Mao Yuzhe is also very clear about his advantages.

However, due to his age, he is not able to control his emotional expression when singing.

……

After Mao Yuzhe finished singing, he was extremely nervous.

I was even more nervous than when I participated in Mango TV's talent show.

Because he really likes Xu Kong's songs, and Xu Kong's experience, although it only happened in the past two years, is also quite legendary.

Before coming to the company, Mao Yuzhe never expected to meet Xu Kong in person.

"That show, Sing! China, what stage is it at now?"

Xu Kong turned to look at Yu Yaqing and asked.

"It seems to be a knockout round..."

Mao Yuzhe was eliminated directly during the audition stage.

After Xu Kong hesitated for a moment, he said:
"I'll make a call."

Since Mao Yuzhe has already signed a contract with Fengqing Entertainment, he can save a lot of trouble.

"Director Wu?"

Wu Youxue was at the creative meeting of a variety show, but when he saw that it was Xu Kong's call, he paused the meeting and answered the phone directly.

Because Xu Kong rarely contacted me on his own initiative under normal circumstances.

"Chinese New Singer?"

"Encore guest? That's no problem..."

……

I have to say, even Yu Yaqing was a little surprised at this time.

He knew that Xu Kong and Mango seemed to have a good relationship, but he didn't expect that Xu Kong could get the eliminated Mao Yuzhe to come back as an encore guest with just one phone call.

And the whole process was treated so lightly, as if it wasn't a big deal at all.

This is not something that can be justified as a good relationship.

Of course, the person who was feeling the most complicated, excited, and fearful at this moment was Mao Yuzhe himself.

But Xu Kong quickly looked at him and said:
"I have a new song here, are you interested in singing it?"
