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

Chapter 297 I will compensate Sister Yu

For Xu Kong, it was really impossible to concentrate too much at this moment.

Although Shang Yuxin still couldn't reach the level of eloquence like Youyou.

But compared to the past, her progress is still huge.

The most important thing is that Shang Yuxin obviously focused all her energy on how to cause trouble.

Under such circumstances, even Xu Kong couldn't bear it.

As for Shang Yuxin at this time, she seemed to have discovered that the new moves she had learned were very effective, so she increased her strength.

And also take time to take care of others.

……

After more than ten minutes, Xu Kong still failed to complete his work.

Instead, Shang Yuxin became extremely busy.

For her, it was just an away game in Xu Kong's office.

But she was already familiar with the battlefield environment.

Xu Kong did not need to give any instructions during the whole process and seemed to be able to handle it easily.

"Do you still like it?"

Everything is settled.

Shang Yuxin's face was still slightly flushed, and then she asked a question.

It has to be said that although more practical experience is still needed to be accumulated, Shang Lucha is gifted when it comes to seducing people into committing crimes.

But she obviously underestimated Xu Kong.

It was just a subconscious movement and eye gesture.

But he paid the consequences and suffered again.

……

"By the way, have you finished reading the script for Squidward?"

Xu Kong asked.

Before, Xu Kong decided to use actors from Korea for most of the main roles in "Squid Game".

In this regard, the main consideration is the feedback from overseas markets.

Use actors from Korea, preferably those who are somewhat familiar to the audience.

There's no need for such big names. After all, the pay should still be controlled.

But later, director Yao Guanyu said that the role of the protagonist Jiang Yan could be considered for Shang Yuxin.

That’s right, Shang Yuxin was directly considered for the role.

It’s not that there are no other more suitable actors, but all in all, Shang Yuxin is indeed the most suitable actor in the country at present.

First of all, "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" achieved a considerable box office in Korea. Xu Kong and Shang Yuxin are currently among the domestic artists with relatively high popularity in Korea.

At least it’s to the extent that most ordinary audiences will find it familiar.

Secondly, Shang Yuxin’s acting skills and appearance are actually more in line with Yao Guanyu’s expectations.

Of course, Xu Kong is the only person who has seen the original film of the previous life.

It is clear that Shang and the heroine do not look alike.

However, this role is not too difficult to play. The most important thing is that the heroine of the previous life's "Squid Game" did become very popular after the show became popular.

Therefore, Yao Guanyu’s proposal is indeed very feasible.

Moreover, this role given to Shang Yuxin should also have a great impact on her subsequent acting career.

……

"I've seen it, the role shouldn't be too difficult."

Shang Yuxin spoke.

This is really unfamiliar
The drama "Squid Game" does have many innovative aspects.

And based on Shang Yuxin’s experience, this drama has a great chance of becoming a hit in the future.

But apart from that, the whole drama is actually still based on the framework of a traditional commercial drama.

The character has many outstanding characteristics, but the difficulty of interpreting it is not that high.

At least compared to the previous heroine Li Qiao in "Sweet Honey", the heroine role in "Squid Game" is much easier.

In fact, for Shang Yuxin, if it wasn’t the script written by Xu Kong, she probably wouldn’t consider continuing to film TV series.

The main reason is that "Comrades: Almost a Love Story" represents her successful transformation, and she has received many movie scripts before.

But she also knew that if she performed well in Xu Kong's plays, it would be of great help to her acting career.

This time, "Squid Game" is still focusing on overseas markets such as kimchi.

Before, Shang Yuxin had never thought about becoming famous abroad.

After all, most of the current domestic actors do not have a large fan base overseas.

But the popularity of "Sweet Honey" in Korea and neighboring countries did change her mind.

……

"Don't feel too much pressure, just treat it as a normal play."

Xu Kong was obviously a little surprised when he saw that he had just finished talking about the plan to broadcast the series "Squid Game" worldwide.

However, for Xu Kong, with the successful reference answer from his previous life right in front of him, it is unlikely that he would let it go.

The previous version of "Squid Game" was not only popular in Korea, but was also a very successful hit all over the world, including in Europe and the United States.

Although the platform and producers have the promotional functions involved, it also proves that the drama itself has the potential to become a big hit.

Moreover, if Fengge wants to choose a suitable artist who can successfully expand the overseas market in a short period of time, Shang Yuxin is indeed very suitable.

Her acting skills are quite good, and most importantly, she is very adaptable and she is still under 30 years old. Assigning her to play the female lead in "Squid Game" also gave Xu Kong a lot of new ideas.

In the future, maybe we can really produce the first internationally renowned superstar among the new generation of actors.

……

Of course, the most important thing is Xu Kong’s plans for the future.

The first step is to gradually enter the surrounding overseas markets including kimchi. In the future, perhaps we will be able to have a place in Europe and the United States, which we can hardly squeeze into now.

Xu Kong doesn't mind using some foreign actors or artists, and he has quite a few scripts in his mind that are suitable for markets in various countries.

But in this process, money has to be made, and if everything goes well, it is entirely possible to successfully get some domestic actors in.

Because of his identity before, Xu Kong was thinking more about his future development plans.

But now that I have become one of the bosses of Fengge, with a film and television company with such a good foundation like Fengge, there are more things I can do.

This "Squid Game" is Fengge's first step in expanding overseas markets.

……

"So far, I have received quite a few messages and calls from singers in the industry who want to come to our Fengge."

"Many of them are first- and second-tier ones, and they are well-known."

After talking with Shang Yuxin about "Squid Game", Xu Kong came to Zhu Yu's office.

As soon as he came over, Zhu Yu started to talk about the current situation.

Of course, these people came to ask questions because of what Xu Kong said in the semi-finals of "Singer".

"And from what I know, after you said that on the show, more people asked you to sing songs, and many are still waiting and watching."

Xu Kong casually glanced at the list given by Zhu Yu.

In fact, some problems were discovered. The singers who were invited to sing were normal, and basically they were those who were in the rising stage of their careers.

However, most of those who are interested in signing a contract with Fengge are either out of fashion or their singing career is not going well.

Some singers are quite famous, but their own reputation and word of mouth also have problems.

In short, most of the singers obviously came for Xu Kong's songs.

The resources of a film and television company like Fengge are definitely not very attractive.

So even if they signed a contract, most people were at the end of their rope and wanted to take a gamble. …

"Sister Yu, what do you think?"

Xu Kong did not express his thoughts directly, but asked a question.

Zhu Yu hesitated.

Then he spoke:
"If you really promise to write songs for them later, that's not impossible."

"only……"

"With our company's current situation, most of our resources are spent on film and television projects, so there won't be many resources for artists like this who are primarily singers."

"Especially if the number is too large, there is no way to guarantee their subsequent development."

In Zhu Yu's opinion, Xu Kong had said those words on the semi-final stage of "Singer".

That means they definitely want to sign new people and train some singers.

However, based on Fengge's current situation, Zhu Yu still believes that even if signing people, the number and the level of the singers themselves should be controlled.

If we are going to train people, we should also train those with sufficient potential.

When relevant resources are limited, it is best to prefer having less than too much.

……

“I don’t plan to sign it for now.”

"but……"

"Sister Yu, please help contact these people I circled and ask them if they have considered going to other companies."

"For example, Fengqing Entertainment."

When Zhu Yu heard Xu Kong's words, she was obviously stunned.

Obviously, Xu Kong's plan to sign a singer was real, but he had no intention of having the other party sign a contract with Fengge.

Is this the person who signed for Fengqing Entertainment?

She knew that Fengqing Entertainment was Xu Kong’s previous company.

It is normal for Xu Kong to be willing to help.

But is it really just a simple help?
He also specifically and indirectly expressed his ability to write songs for singers on a big stage like "Singer".

Being able to do this is unlikely to be as simple as just helping out.

……

Xu Kong didn't intend to hide it from Zhu Yu.

The other party was his agent, and most of his affairs were taken over and handled with help from Zhu Yu.

It is not possible to hide these things.

The most important thing is that the two of them already know each other well, so there is no need to hide it.

So I briefly talked about my current relationship with Fengqing Entertainment.

In short, Xu Kong is not only one of the bosses of Fengge, but also the boss of Fengqing Entertainment.

……

"Are you planning to develop Fengqing Entertainment into a record company?"

Zhu Yu quickly guessed what Xu Kong was thinking.

Everything then became reasonable.

Fengge has indeed spent most of its resources and focus on film and television projects. At the same time, the artist training model and development plan are also centered around actors.

It is not impossible to train some singers, but it requires a lot of time, energy, and even real money.

This process can be said to be enough to create a new department.

But if Fengqing Entertainment is developed in this direction alone, it would be more appropriate.

Fengqing Entertainment itself relies on the model of promoting some idol trainees to survive.

In most cases, marketing methods can be applied to singers.

With the songs written by Xu Kong as a backup, what is lacking now are some potential singers worth cultivating.

……

“The current model is moving in the direction of Jiying Media.”

"Of course, there are some differences, and adjustments may be made at any time in the future."

Xu Kong spoke.

The best reference for Fengqing Entertainment is, of course, Jiying Media, which has a large number of well-known singers in the circle and has gathered various excellent songwriters and producers.

So Xu Kong simply asked Yu Yaqing to plan according to Jiying Media's corporate structure.

Of course, the current Fengqing Entertainment is completely inferior to Jiying in every aspect.

Whether it is funding, talent training, or resources in the industry.

But the only difference is that Fengqing Entertainment has a boss named Xu Kong who is very lucky, so it is no exaggeration to say that he is a walking music library.

In a short period of time, we can completely make up for the problems of work quality, lack of lyrics, music and producers.

The most important thing is that the first step now is to promote the reputation of Fengqing Entertainment and make a few or even more singers famous who can be used as reference cases.

In this way, it won't be difficult to sign people later.

……

"Jiying Media?"

Zhu Yu was also shocked.

She was a little surprised when she heard Xu Kong's thoughts.

But from what the other party said, Fengqing Entertainment is actually developing in line with Jiying Media.

Before, Zhu Yu always felt that although Xu Kong had his own ideas most of the time, he did not look like a young man in his early twenties at all.

But it is only limited to Xu Kong himself, and at most it is the planning of the studio.

Even compared to some ordinary artists, Xu Kong is considered to be more Buddhist.

Apart from filming seriously and writing songs and singing, I don’t have many other plans.

But now, the other party's ambition is bigger than she thought.

……

"I'll trouble Sister Yu to help with this matter."

Xu Kong was not polite at all. After introducing the situation, he started talking directly.

Of course Xu Kong knew Zhu Yu's business ability.

The most important thing is that he can rest assured in leaving these matters to Zhu Yu.

"You are planning to tire me to death!"

Zhu Yu looked at Xu Kong with some resentment.

Although he said these words in the end, his attitude showed that he had tacitly agreed.

"I will compensate Sister Yu well..."

Xu Kong suddenly put his arms around her waist.

When talking about the word "compensation", he emphasized the tone.

How could Zhu Yu not understand what the other party meant by compensation? She blushed immediately.

"I really owe you in my last life..."

Hearing Zhu Yu's words, Xu Kong smiled and asked back:
"Don't you want this kind of compensation, Sister Yu?"

Feeling that Xu Kong was trying to make the dent appear as usual, Zhu Yu did not answer and could only subconsciously close her eyes and remain silent.
