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

Chapter 294 Lan Shu joins Fengqing Entertainment, Xu Kong's ambition
Xu Kong’s words left many people stunned for a long time.

If there were dozens of new songs that have not yet been released by other singers or songwriters, people might either not believe them at all or not take them seriously.

After all, no matter how many songs there are, it does not mean that the quality is good.

The more they claim they have a lot of inventory, the more questionable the quality of their songs becomes.

But Xu Kong is different, because most of the songs written by Xu Kong in recent years can be said to be of shockingly high quality.

Not every song is a hit, but it still represents a lot of things.

……

"If you don't post it, what are you going to say? Are you trying to keep us in suspense?"

"No buddy, there are so many songs, can't you just record them and release them!"

"Xu Kong is such a bad guy, he's starting to make promises to his fans again."

Many viewers began to complain.

There is no way, although Xu Kong can indeed be called productive.

But it is true that he would disappear for a long time at any time.

Especially since he is an actor and director himself, every time he shoots a movie, it is not good news for Xu Kong’s fans.

Moreover, it seems that Xu Kong announced a long time ago that he was going to release his first album, but there has been no follow-up until now.

Even if I don’t sing it myself, it’s like the songs I wrote for Su Zhi before.

Everyone can completely accept it.

But even so, Xu Kong's frequency of releasing new songs is indeed getting lower and lower.

……

This is what the ordinary audience thought, but some colleagues who were watching the live broadcast of "Singer", including singers like Lan Shu, heard another meaning.

What does it mean that the song has been written and is waiting for its destined person?

Moreover, Xu Kong stated with certainty that he could not sing.

In addition to Su Zhi, do you have one of your own among those dozens of songs?
"wrong……"

"Is Fengge planning to sign a large number of singers?"

Xu Yaqing, who was watching the live broadcast, also heard the problem.

Although Fengge, as one of the largest film and television companies in the country, did not pay much attention to its singers before.

Most of the artists signed are actors.

But Feng Ge has changed so much now.

It’s hard to say what the next steps will be.

It’s true that for most domestic singers, works are very important.

There is a reason why some well-known songwriters and composers in the circle have such a high status.

So, if Xu Kong helps write the song himself, this condition would be very attractive.

……

"Singer Xu Kong, the final number of votes is..."

"95 votes!"

As expected, when the voting results came out, Xu Kong successfully surpassed Su Yuwei in front of him and directly became the newest first in this semi-final.

In fact, most people had expected this result since Xu Kong’s performance ended.

After all, the quality of this song "King of Karaoke" is also very high.

In addition, Xu Kong’s performance is definitely incomparable to Su Yuwei’s current performance.

The song itself may have different preferences from the media judges.

There must be people who like Su Yuwei's new song more.

But it cannot be denied that the quality of Xu Kong's new song is also very high, and Xu Kong's live performance is even more perfect.

The most crucial point is the voting rules. Not every media judge can choose only one singer.

If you want, you can cast your vote for all the singers.

So under this premise, there is no reason for the media reviewers who previously voted for Su Yuwei not to vote for Xu Kong.

……

"Oh, I should have thought of that earlier..."

The person who was feeling the worst at this moment was not Su Yuwei, who had just been surpassed by Xu Kong.

It's not the Maple Leafs who are almost certain to miss the championship.

Instead, it was Lan Shu who appeared last after Xu Kong.

Xu Kong's performance had already immersed the audience, so her appearance later was at a great disadvantage.

Then there was a conversation between Xu Kong and the host.

Now many people's attention is focused on the dozens of unreleased new songs in Xu Kong's so-called "King of Karaoke".

She was the last one to appear, which should have given her a small advantage.

But because Xu Kong was the one performing first, this is actually the worst order of appearance.

……

After Xu Kong's performance ended, the number of viewers watching the live broadcast of "Singer" did not decrease significantly.

But compared to the highest number of people in previous performances, there was still a significant decline.

It can be seen that after Xu Kong's vote count came out, everyone felt that there was not much suspense about Xu Kong's first place.

Many people watched the live broadcast just for Xu Kong’s new song.

At this time, I heard Xu Kong say that "King of Karaoke" has two versions, Cantonese and Mandarin.

Many people have gone directly to the music platform to search.

Although the official studio version has not yet been released, many viewers do not have the patience to continue watching it.

……

In the end, Lan Shu received 84 votes.

It doesn't look bad though.

Moreover, she herself didn't have any good songs left to release in this semi-final.

So I don’t think I can get too many votes.

But when it comes to the performance itself, there were almost no mistakes.

If he had not appeared after Xu Kong, the number of votes would definitely have been a few votes higher.

Thanks to the media review voting, most of the media reviewers still maintained their own objective and consistent judging standards.

Otherwise, if it is replaced by voting by live audience or audience in the live broadcast room.

Lan Shu's votes might be even lower than the Maple Leaf group mentioned above.

……

Although it was only the semi-finals, Xu Kong's return this time unsurprisingly directly topped the hot search list.

It can be said that before Xu Kong came back to continue participating in "Singer", the popularity of the show almost formed a very sharp contrast with the previous few episodes he was absent.

"You can try it a little bit..."

"Yuwei, think about it, don't you want to sing Xu Kong's song?"

The game had just ended, and Su Yuwei's agent didn't care at all about her loss to Xu Kong this time.

She didn't even mention it. All her attention was now focused on those dozens of new songs that Xu Kong had not yet released.

Although I don’t know whether Xu Kong’s words are true or false.

After all, the dozens of new songs that have not yet been released are indeed beyond everyone's cognition.

But what is certain is that Xu Kong must have stock.

This is a fact that almost everyone takes for granted.

After all, it has been almost two months since the last song like the theme song for the movie "Sweet Honey" was released.

If we exclude this aspect, the number of new songs Xu Kong has indeed decreased since he finished writing the new album for Su Zhi.

Considering his prolific creative speed, it is normal for him to have some new songs on hand.

"but……"

Su Yuwei seemed quite hesitant.

The main reason was that she always felt that it was a bit too fast for her to directly invite Xu Kong to sing a song.

After all, although the two seemed to get along well after they met, to be honest, their relationship was definitely not that close.

And what Su Yuwei didn't want the most was for Xu Kong to misunderstand her and make him think that she approached him with such a purpose.

This was not Su Yuwei's original intention.

Of course, if her agent knew this idea at this moment, he would probably be very angry.

if not?
In fact, she let Su Yuwei deliberately contact Xu Kong, naturally for the song in the other party's hand.

Seeing that there was no obvious progress, he almost took the initiative to teach Su Yuwei how to seduce men.

She also has self-awareness of herself.

Otherwise, her agent might have taken action personally.

After all, if it was Xu Kong, it didn't seem like he would be at a big disadvantage.

……

Su Yuwei's new song and Xu Kong's "King of Karaoke" were both very popular after the live broadcast of the "Singer" program ended.

Of course, the most popular song is still Xu Kong’s new song.

The main reason is that Xu Kong now has his own traffic, so he doesn’t have to worry about no one paying attention to him.

In addition, what the audience discussed most was not the final results of the "Singer" program.

Although it may not really be that smooth, but considering the singer lineup for the subsequent finals of this season, it is true that Xu Kong has a very high chance of winning.

With the singing skills and performance at the level of a king of singers, plus the new songs that Xu Kong could come up with, there wasn't much suspense at all.

Instead, it was Xu Kong's comment on the show that he had dozens of new songs that had not been released yet and might not be released in the future that caused heated discussion.

“Dozens of songs, enough for several albums!”

"Yes, although I know Xu Kong might have higher expectations for his first album, it's totally fine to release songs one by one!"

"My requirements are not high. I just need to release one song a day. I think I can finish it in one or two months..."

"Waiting for the right person? If I were a singer in China, I would have contacted Xu Kong right now to invite him to sing."

……

Many singers in the circle couldn't help but smile bitterly after reading the netizens' thoughts.

Ask Xu Kong to sing a song?
Do you really think we don't want to?

It’s not like I haven’t tried before, but not only could I not contact Xu Kong, I couldn’t even meet him in person, and I was directly rejected.

The most important thing is that everyone knows the quality of Xu Kong's songs, and if he is lucky, there is a good chance that they will become a hit single based on Xu Kong's own popularity.

But no matter what, the issue now is not about fierce competition, but that Xu Kong simply has no way to contact the person himself.

……

"You mean, you want to join Fengge?"

At this time, Xu Kong and Lan Shu met in a hotel in Xingcheng.

Of course he remembered the idea of ​​writing a song for the other party that he had promised to do.

Xu Kong had also prepared the song itself.

Although it was Jian Junfang's connections that made him agree, it was just a song, so it really wasn't too much pressure for Xu Kong.

Including the fact that so many singers had invited him to sing songs before, even if he agreed to all of them, it would not be a big deal for Xu Kong.

He only had a few classic songs in his mind, and it would be impossible to use up all of them in a short period of time.

What's more, there are so many that are of relatively average quality that it is hard to count them all.

The song he originally intended to give to Lan Shu was a song that was more suitable for her, but the song itself was not particularly classic.

Xu Kong himself was not very sure whether he could become popular in this world.

But the quality of the songs is definitely not low.

……

But after actually meeting Lan Shu, things seemed to be beyond his original plan.

"Well, my contract with my previous company is expected to expire in less than a month."

"Even if we terminate the contract early, they shouldn't make it difficult..."

In the past, even Lan Shu had really considered changing companies.

But Feng Ge is definitely not the first choice, and is not even within his consideration.

The situation is different now.

Xu Kong herself became one of Fengge's shareholders, and this news was told to her by Jian Junfang.

In the eyes of many people, Fengge is now on a downward trend. If it was not considered when it was a major domestic film and television company, is it too late to consider it now?
Lan Shu didn't think so.

The main reason she wanted to go to Fengge was naturally because of Xu Kong.

Lan Shu feels that Xu Kong’s creative ability is the key to furthering his career.

The most important thing is that Feng Ge’s current situation is obviously not as good as it was before. The resources she has may be similar to those of her original company, or even less.

But this also means that joining Fengge now will be much more valued than before.

……

"Yes, yes..."

There was no reason for Xu Kong to refuse.

Although Lan Shu looks like just a first-tier singer.

But his singing skills are strong enough, so being in his thirties is not a big deal.

It can be said that any domestic company, under the right conditions, would not refuse Lanshu's active joining.

And judging from what Lan Shu said, it was obvious that her conditions would not be that high.

Things like signing fees are relatively easy to negotiate.

"Are you sure you want to join Fengge?"

"After all, Fengge's main investment will still be in the film and television industry."

Xu Kong asked again.

And Lan Shu was even more determined than before.

"I've already thought about it."

……

Xu Kong took a breath and spoke again:
"I mean, if I don't go to Fengge, but go to another company, can you accept it?"

This time it was Lan Shu who was a little confused.

"other companies?"

Xu Kong nodded.

"Do you know Fengqing Entertainment?"

"I won't keep you in suspense. I also have personal shares in Fengqing Entertainment. In the future, my plan is to develop Fengqing Entertainment into a professional record company..."

Xu Kong didn't directly say that his benchmark was at least a giant in the industry of the same scale as Future Jiying Media.

After all, it can be said that we have just begun, and even if we just make empty promises, I guess no one will believe it.

Lan Shu had heard of the company Fengqing Entertainment.

But in her impression, this company mostly promotes young and popular celebrities.

The company was not too small, but it was even smaller than her previous company, so it was definitely not within her original consideration range.

"If you go to Fengqing Entertainment, I won't interfere too much in your subsequent development and planning, but some of your singles and personal albums in the future..."

"I will take personal responsibility for everything."

Xu Kong spoke again and revealed his biggest bargaining chip.

Fengqing Entertainment does not have any appeal to well-known first-line singers like Lan Shu.

So the only difference is naturally that he is the boss of the company.

"Then I agree."

After Xu Kong finished speaking, Lan Shu agreed without any hesitation.

She joined Fengge so that Xu Kong could help her in the future.

Now that the other party has promised to be personally responsible for some of her future singles and albums, there is naturally no need for hesitation.

As long as Xu Kong made this promise, it didn’t matter which company I went to.

At the same time, Xu Kong just suggested that she go to Fengqing Entertainment and take personal responsibility. Combined with what he said on the other party's show, his new songs that have not yet been released are waiting for the right person.

All these made her feel that Xu Kong's ambition might be bigger than she thought, and he was not satisfied with the so-called identity of a singer and composer.
