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

Chapter 296 The Troublemaker Shang Green Tea
For Youyou, of course, all of this had been carefully prepared long ago.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to let Xu Kong appreciate her inner wear.

Although the style is very different from Youyou's usual pure appearance, that first love face.

However, Youyou's usual self is quite contrasting, so this translucent lace inner wear doesn't seem to be too out of place.

Of course, without some of the previous role-playing, Xu Kong was a little uncomfortable with it.

“Don’t take it off…”

Xu Kong stopped it in time.

Youyou understood instantly.

This inner wear really cannot be wasted, and it can maximize its value only if worn throughout the entire event.

Of course, in addition to light transmittance, the most important thing is the softness of the material.

It will hardly cause any major obstruction and will tilt to the other side with a slight push.

……

"Brother Xu Kong, I have finished reading the script of The Beginning..."

During the sage time, Youyou still clung to Xu Kong and was unwilling to separate.

Then he began to talk about his ideas about performing in new plays in the future.

Youyou’s understanding of the heroine in “The Beginning” is quite accurate.

Xu Kong often forgets Song Youyou's talent in acting because of her age.

Unlike Shang Lucha, who almost relied on experience to figure out her acting skills, Youyou is definitely a naturally gifted actor.

It can be seen from the original "Want to See You" that playing two roles by one person was not difficult at all for Song Youyou, who had just become an adult at the time.

In addition to this, Song Youyou really enjoys acting.

If Song Fuquan didn't really like her and didn't have talent, he probably wouldn't have agreed to let his only daughter become an actor.

……

"Of course I'm happy, because I can act with Brother Xu Kong again..."

When Song Youyou heard Xu Kong asking her, she spoke without hesitation.

That’s right, besides the fact that I quite like the script of “The Beginning” and the role of the heroine.

What makes Song Youyou happiest is that she can continue acting with Xu Kong.

The two of them starred in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" together last year.

Because of the various issues she faced during graduation season, she hasn't filmed a movie for over a year.

I saw Sister Yuxin and her brother Xu Kong playing a couple in "Sweet Honey" halfway through, and I have to say, I was a little envious and a little jealous.

However, Song Youyou did not doubt the relationship between Xu Kong and Shang Yuxin.

She and Shang Yuxin were always close, and could be considered besties who could talk about anything, at least that was what Song Youyou herself thought.

Every time Xu Kong was mentioned, Shang Yuxin actually acted very normally, as if the relationship between them was just that of an ordinary director and actor, and even with a bit of respect similar to that of a junior showing respect to his senior.

……

"By the way, the start time of this drama will probably be delayed by about a week."

Xu Kong spoke.

The preparations for "The Beginning" have been basically completed, and the relevant filming and some preliminary preparations have almost been completed.

However, because Xu Kong is the male lead, he also has to shoot another drama of his own, "The Hidden Corner", which is still in the process of selecting the filming location and finalizing the remaining actors.

There is no problem with the casting. Some of the supporting roles were played by several of Mr. Chen Shuang’s long-time friends in the circle who were recommended by him.

Most of these actors are old but not very well-known, and have been playing supporting roles in various dramas.

Of course, Xu Kong accepted all of these actors and signed them to Fengge after he had negotiated the terms with Zhu Yu.

Although there is no shortage of companies wanting these people, most companies will certainly not pay too much attention to them.

After all, he only played supporting roles, and due to his age, the possibility of becoming popular again is very small.

This also means that in terms of commercial value, it is not as good as some of the popular young stars that companies spend some money to make famous.

After all, the larger the company, the less human touch it has.

We are not doing charity here, maximizing profits is the most important thing.

So most of these people are similar to Chen Shuang and have never signed with any so-called agency.

They all go out to find roles by recommending themselves, or wait for invitations from directors and producers of the crew for supporting roles that suit them.

With Chen Shuang as the middleman, the process didn't take too much effort and everything went smoothly.

……

"Anyway, I'll just join the group with you then."

Song Youyou naturally had no objection to postponing the filming.

The only requirement is to follow Xu Kong.

Xu Kong didn't refuse, since he was already used to it.

On the contrary, if one day the other party is no longer so dependent on him, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

"By the way, my dad seemed to have said before that he didn't understand why you signed so many veteran actors in the industry."

“Although it won’t cost too much, he prefers to train some new people.”

As Old Song's sweetheart, Song Youyou told Xu Kong without hesitation what Song Fuquan had complained about before.

Song Fuquan naturally did not tell Xu Kong about these things.

It’s not a big deal in itself. Although he has objections, it’s no big deal if we do it according to Xu Kong’s ideas.

In addition, he showed such trust in Xu Kong that since he had delegated all the power to him, he had to appear more generous.

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

And now Xu Kong is actually Fengge’s second largest boss.

He also wanted to train Xu Kong. After all, Old Song had only one daughter, Youyou. Given her age, even if she still had great ambitions, she had to consider her affairs after her death.

So apart from his daughter, Xu Kong is actually a good partner.

Even if Xu Kong didn't become Song Fuquan's son-in-law in the end, it didn't prevent him from having Xu Kong. His talent and ability in film and television could still provide support for Feng Ge.

Of course, he never said these things.

Although it was not difficult for Xu Kong to guess.

But Song Youyou obviously hadn't thought about it and didn't know about it.

……

"Of course I can use this group of actors..."

Xu Kong spoke.

It’s not really a plan, but when Chen Shuang was signed, a group of actors with excellent acting skills but little fame and popularity just happened to appear.

The average age is almost over 35 years old.

In the acting industry, although many of them are in their prime, there are still many roles that suit them to play.

But no one would think that these people would have the chance to become famous in their careers.

There is no way, this is the current situation in the entertainment industry.

For many actors, the best chance of becoming famous is only a few years.

Once you exceed that age group, you are either out of fashion or try to transform. Although there is little chance to continue to maintain your high popularity and fame, the income is still not low.

This also leads to the fact that most companies and capital are willing to spend big money to promote young artists.

Because the return on investment is indeed higher and the risk is lower.

This is the operating model of Fengqing Entertainment.

At worst, if it becomes outdated, we can just replace it with a new group of people to support it. As long as we can reap the profits and make the money when it is popular, that's all.

……

However, Xu Kong did have other ideas.

In fact, similar situations still occurred in the previous life.

And they are almost identical.

Various young handsome guys, Korean-style idol trainees, etc.

They are all darlings of capital, and they have indeed become famous quickly, almost without relying on so-called works. Instead, they can achieve this simply by participating in variety shows, talent shows, intensive face exposure, and various marketing methods.

But at the same time, there are still some veteran and middle-aged actors who have become popular again in the circle.

The so-called uncle circle was once very popular.

It still has quite terrifying commercial value.

However, the ways of becoming famous are indeed somewhat different.

For the most part, it still depends on their own works, whether it is the result of long-term accumulation or deliberate marketing. In any case, the life cycle of their popularity will be longer than that of some young and popular stars.

Most of the people who have become popular again are veterans who have been in the entertainment industry for many years.

On the contrary, there will almost never be a sudden rollover afterwards.

……

In addition, Xu Kong naturally has his own needs.

Fengge is indeed short of actors now, as the movie stars who used to be famous and popular in Fengge are gone.

After all, we need some people with good acting skills to take over.

Young actors can be trained slowly, but the requirements of some roles still need to be addressed.

Instead of looking for actors outside every time, it is better to keep the benefits within the family.

If there is really value in cultivating it, Xu Kong would not mind bringing out some suitable dramas and movies that come to his mind later.

Give these middle-aged actors a chance to become popular again and play the leading role.

……

Xu Kong stayed at the Song family for one night. The next morning, he bought breakfast for Youyou. After eating together, he went to the company alone.

Song Youyou originally wanted to go along as well.

But now "Beginning" has not yet officially started filming, and she has nothing to do in the company except to accompany Xu Kong.

In addition, the most important thing is that Youyou does not have the physique and talent that can recover quickly like Su Zhi.

In addition to the strong winds and heavy rain last night, following Xu Kong's suggestion, we decided to stay home and rest.

"Good morning, Mr. Xu..."

The two front desk ladies at the Fengge Artist Department building took the initiative to greet Xu Kong when they saw him.

Xu Kong also replied with a smile.

After Xu Kong entered the elevator, the two began to communicate excitedly.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I feel like Xu Kong has become a lot more handsome!"

——"You slut, Tiantai only knows how to be a nymphomaniac."

"No, everyone else in the company is fine, but I really can't resist Xu Kong. If I could be with him..."

……

Xu Kong didn't know about these little episodes.

However, since he became the nominal vice president of Fengge, more people within Fengge have taken the initiative to greet him.

After this period of development, Fengge still hasn't been able to recover to its heyday.

But at least places like the Artist Department won't seem so deserted anymore.

"Is Guo Zihao not back yet?"

Arriving at his personal studio, Xu Kong asked.

Although Guo Zihao is Xu Kong's assistant, he has been sent by Xu Kong to other places to find a suitable filming location for the preparation of "The Hidden Corner".

Although the specific city for filming has now been finalized.

Things like the location shooting and props for "The Beginning" have been almost finalized.

However, some exterior scenes in "The Bad Kids" are still in the final screening stage.

It was decided that both dramas would be filmed in the same city, but most of the scenes in "The Beginning" were actually shot on buses, so the filming was actually quite simple.

"The Bad Kids" had a lot of location shooting, so the workload was naturally on a different level.

For this filming, director Su Meng personally went with Guo Zihao.

But now that he has returned, Guo Zihao estimates that it will take another week or so to complete the work.

……

After entering his office, Xu Kong made a video call with Guo Zihao. After communicating for a while, he began to communicate with the two directors of "Operation Red Sea" and "Squid Game".

Both projects are currently progressing in an orderly manner, and it is estimated that they will be able to officially start filming in the near future.

It seems that Xu Kong was a little too worried about Fengge’s directors before.

As a producer, he actually only needed to give remote commands most of the time. The whole process went very smoothly and did not consume too much of his energy.

Of course, after the official shooting starts, it will probably be a different situation.

In short, Xu Kong probably won’t have such free time in the next six months or so.

……

There was a knock on the office door.

Xu Kong said, "Come in."

Xu Kong looked up and found that the person coming was Shang Yuxin, who was wearing a light green dress.

Knowing that the other party was most likely not looking for him for anything serious, Xu Kong went back to doing his own thing.

Seeing that Xu Kong was busy, Shang Yuxin did not disturb him.

After about half an hour, Xu Kong suddenly felt the weight on his legs.

Only then did he realize that Shang Lucha had already sat in his arms without him knowing when.

"Just keep busy..."

Shang Yuxin spoke up.

Then he stared curiously at the computer screen in front of Xu Kong.

Xu Kong was looking at some information about suitable Korean actors in the early stages of casting for "Squid Game".

There is also the part with the highest investment budget, which is the relevant documents regarding scene props.

……

Shang Yuxin is very tall and has a pair of perfect long legs.

But my weight is quite light, and when I sit on Xu Kong's legs, I feel almost no weight.

But it is obvious that Shang Yuxin cannot maintain this posture all the time.

It seemed that seeing Xu Kong was busy, she also wanted to find something to do.

So the previous times he did it either under duress or at Xu Kong's suggestion, but this time he took the initiative and slid under Xu Kong's desk.

Xu Kong lowered his head and saw Shang Yuxin, who looked very obedient and looked up at him, and he smiled brightly.

Shang Lucha is indeed quite naughty. She knew Xu Kong was busy, but she still wanted to make trouble.
