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

Chapter 325: The vengeful Xu Kong, the boomerang hit him right between the eyebrows after three years
Xu Kong knew that at this point, there was no need to bargain any further.

It is also clear that if it were a penguin or even a kiwi, it would most likely not offer such conditions.

For Penguin, which currently has the best investment situation, 70% of the profits is almost equivalent to giving away most of its original income.

They would rather pay exorbitant copyright fees than make this choice.

After all, the right to attract investment is in their own hands. In fact, for most dramas, it is not that difficult to recover the cost.

"However, Mr. Tu, there is one thing I think I need to tell you in advance."

"As we planned, this 'Beginning' will be broadcast at the end of August."

After the two shook hands and reached a cooperation, Xu Kong spoke again.

Unexpectedly, Tu Qiaoer guessed Xu Kong and Feng Ge's intentions after just thinking about it for a while.

After all, Changyun Film and Television's drama "The Power of Intrigue" had already announced its approximate broadcast time some time ago, although the exact release date had not been finalized.

But the grudge between Feng Ge and Chang Yun has long been no secret.

Xu Kong requested that "The Beginning" be broadcast at the end of August, most likely because of Changyun Film and Television's new drama.

"We don't have any problems here."

Tu Qiaoer not only did not have any objection or hesitation, but she also smiled and agreed.

This surprised Yan Rui who was standing next to him a little.

Originally, in his opinion, Tu Qiaoer should be worried about the release date clash with the other party's drama with huge investment and lavish cast.

Who would have thought that he didn't seem to care at all.

As if she had seen Yan Rui's confusion, Tu Qiao'er took the initiative to explain:
"They came to us, and I watched some of the show..."

Tu Qiaoer's words were not particularly clear, but her meaningful expression said it all.

At least Tudou Video is not optimistic about Changyun Film and Television's new drama.

This is also the reason why they quoted such a low price for copyright fees.

At that time, Changyun Film and Television thought that it was due to funding budget issues of Tudou Video itself.

……

In addition to the cooperation finalized with Tudou Video, on the TV station side.

On the contrary, it went more smoothly.

Because the first person he met was Wu Youxue, the other party didn't even have any extra words to say. He just directly stated that no matter how much the copyright fee offered by other TV stations was, Mango TV could offer the same or even higher price.

It is obvious that Wu Youxue is almost determined to win Xu Kong's new drama this time.

In fact, I followed the professional advice of several people from Mango Copyright Department who came with me.

There is a high probability that this drama "The Beginning" will become popular after it is broadcast, but the length of the series is only fifteen episodes.

So in fact, a price that is too high is not worth it.

"The Beginning" is still more suitable for major video websites.

Although TV stations can broadcast it, the cycles are too long. If it is likely to broadcast three or four episodes a week, it can only be premiered in some theaters on weekends.

Prime time is unlikely.

……

But for Wu Youxue, all he needed was to say that "The Beginning" had the potential to be a hit.

Others may only be able to see the commercial performance of this drama after it is broadcast in the future.

But what he saw was that Xu Kong was not the director of this drama, only the male lead and screenwriter.

If successful, does it mean that this model can be replicated?

He also asked several professionals in Mango TV's copyright department, and they were almost certain that the drama was still directed by Su Meng.

But in terms of style and other aspects, there is no trace of the other party's previous works.

You should know that Su Meng’s first popular youth campus drama was premiered on Mango TV.

Even though the type is different, it is an almost surprising change.

So what Wu Youxue saw was the possibility of Feng Ge’s future after having Xu Kong.

Plus, there was already a relationship between him and Xu Kong.

We must seize the opportunity firmly.

……

There wasn't much haggling over the final copyright price.

It was settled at 100 million, a more rounded number.

The main reason is the length of the series, which is indeed the limit for exclusive television broadcasting rights.

In fact, according to Xu Kong’s original plan, this drama was not intended to be broadcast on satellite TV.

But I thought it was something that could be done easily, so I just did it.

The major local TV stations are just giving face. If it were another drama like this with only 15 episodes, I guess most TV stations would be unlikely to buy it.

All I can say is that after watching the first three episodes of the show, everyone saw the potential for this show to become a big hit in the future.

Ocean TV also offered the same price, but there was nothing they could do because of the previous agreement and the relationship with Wu Youxue, so the final partner was still Mango.

Of course, Xu Kong would not say these things in front of others.

The reason why after meeting Wu Youxue, I still met with several other heads of local stations was mainly because of courtesy.

It’s impossible for someone to stay, be interested in your play, wait for a long time, and then disappear, right?
This is a bit too offensive.

However, there are also people like Xu Kong who are not afraid of offending others at all.

……

"Hello, I want to ask, how long do we have to wait?"

Huang Qifeng followed Qin Xian and had been waiting since around noon until it was almost dark.

However, not to mention Xu Kong, even Yan Rui, the manager who was in charge of the trial screening at Feng Ge, didn't see him.

Fengge's people just left them in this small meeting room, waiting the whole time, with no one to accompany or take care of them.

At Qin Xian's suggestion, Huang Qifeng took the initiative to ask Fengge's staff.

This ordinary worker was actually preparing to get off work at this time.

When someone called me at this time, I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

But he still smiled and replied: "I'll ask for you."

Soon, the staff member put down his phone and said:
"Sorry, I just asked, and they said that the preview was over today..."

"And Mr. Xu has already left the company."

……

When Qin Xian heard this, his previous calmness suddenly disappeared.

The whole person almost went berserk.

I've been waiting here for so long, and you tell me that Xu Kong has left?

Damn it!
Isn't this just kidding me?
"Is this how you Fengge entertain guests?"

Qin Xian knew very well that losing his temper with a small employee of Fengge would not solve any problems.

But he was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"Don't be angry, I'll help you ask."

The employee in charge of reception really felt extremely unlucky at this moment.

I was about to get off work, but now I suddenly have to work overtime.

……

After about ten minutes, someone finally came.

But it wasn’t Xu Kong, or even Yan Rui.

But it was someone Qin Xian didn't know. Of course, although he didn't know him, he always felt that he had seen him somewhere.

Looks somewhat familiar.

"Who is Mr. Qin?"

As soon as the other party came, he asked without any politeness.

The tone of his voice sounded as if he was not taken seriously at all.

"Where's Xu Kong?"

Qin Xian is already on the verge of exploding.

Naturally, he had no intention of being polite and directly asked Xu Kong's full name.

"He has gone back." "It seems you are Mr. Qin."

"You don't have to wait any longer. We have already negotiated the copyright for our new drama. You can go back now."

"I'm sorry."

Hearing these words, which seemed quite polite but were full of contempt, Qin Xian couldn't help himself.

……

"Who do you think you are!"

"Let Xu Kong come and tell me this in person."

"Do you know how long I've been waiting here?"

"Now you're telling me that your cooperation on the new drama has already been finalized. Since you didn't want to discuss it with us, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Although Qin Xian is indeed a very hated guy.

But most of the time, after all, he is the vice president of Kiwi, so he can still maintain all the necessary manners.

Even Huang Qifeng, who was standing next to him, had never seen such a misbehaving person before.

And he almost always loses his temper in front of his subordinates in the company.

But now outside, he has completely gone berserk.

One can imagine how angry Qin Xian was at this moment.

……

However, facing such a Qin Xian, the person on the opposite side still remained very calm.

"Well, I see."

"So didn't I apologize to you just now?"

"As for Xu Kong, he is indeed very busy and doesn't have much time to see you. I hope you can understand."

The other party's attitude made Qin Xian even angrier.

He had rarely felt so completely ignored.

Obviously it was Xu Kong who invited him here, wasn't it?

Just when he wanted to continue cursing, he saw the other person couldn't help laughing.

It's a look that totally deserves a beating.

Qin Xian resisted the urge to hit someone.

"why are you laughing?"

The man on the other side shook his head and held back his answer:
"Nothing, just thought of something funny."

……

"Boss Qin seems to be still forgetful."

In fact, from the very beginning, Qin Xian felt that he had seen the person opposite him before.

I just can't remember it for the moment.

After hearing this, he was certain that he and the other party had a grudge.

After regaining some of his sanity, he spoke:
"No matter how I offended you before."

"But now I need an explanation from Feng Ge. If I don't let Mr. Xu come to see me, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

The other party just smiled faintly.

"It doesn't matter. It was President Xu who asked me to come."

……

"Xu Kong and I waited for more than six hours at your Kiwifruit, but in the end we didn't even see you."

"Now it's you, Mr. Qin, who can't stand it?"

After saying this, Qin Xian was suddenly stunned.

He finally remembered.

Why do I feel that this person looks familiar?

The other party is Xu Kong’s assistant!
I have met him a few times before, but he was always following Xu Kong, so I never paid much attention to him and naturally couldn't remember him.

As for what he had just said, he suddenly remembered it.

It was then that he first noticed a newcomer in the entertainment industry.

At that time, Xu Kong brought the film "Want to See You" which he directed and acted in to the headquarters of Kiwifruit to discuss copyright cooperation.

In the end, Qin Xian didn't take it to heart at all.

I feel that a drama directed and acted by a popular idol who has only debuted for a year has absolutely no commercial value.

So I had no intention of meeting him in person.

Unexpectedly, three years later, it was his turn to come to Xu Kong's company and waited for almost the entire afternoon.

He also didn't even see Xu Kong.

The boomerang hit Xu Kong right in the middle of his eyebrows. It was obvious that Xu Kong did it on purpose.

I guess he had this idea of ​​revenge in mind ever since he was invited to attend the preview of the new drama.

……

As for the person standing opposite Qin Xian at this time, it was naturally Guo Zihao.

When Xu Kong mentioned this matter, Guo Zihao didn't think much about it and volunteered to take on the job of "notifying" Qin Xian.

Mainly, it was his experience at Kiwi at that time, which he also remembered vividly.

Now that he could see Qin Xian receiving the same treatment in return, how could he let go of such a good opportunity?

It has to be said that in some aspects, Guo Zihao, as Xu Kong's assistant, was indeed affected.

For example, when it comes to holding grudges.

"That's all I have to say. Mr. Qin should know why."

"I have something else to do, please help yourselves..."

It was not until Guo Zihao had left for a while that Qin Xian came to his senses.

The anger just now has completely disappeared.

All he was thinking about was the grudges he had with Xu Kong.

Qin Xian always believed that the main reason why he and Xu Kong became enemies was that they disliked each other from the very beginning.

But now I realize that it seems that their relationship was destined from the very beginning.

……

"Tell me, if I had met Xu Kong in person and offered a higher copyright fee for "Want to See You", would things be different now?"

In the car leaving Feng Ge, Qin Xian suddenly couldn't help but ask such a question.

It seemed like he was asking Huang Qifeng, but it was more like he was asking himself.

Huang Qifeng, who was driving, didn't dare to respond at this time.

It is not appropriate to make any suggestions or opinions at this time.

It is obvious that the leader is stuck in his own dilemma. If you are not tactful enough to speak up without authorization, it will most likely trigger his plan.

The best thing to do is to say nothing, look straight ahead, and just be your own driver.

Sure enough, Qin Xian didn't care whether Huang Qifeng answered or not, and was still thinking silently.

It was not until today that he realized that he had the opportunity to be the first to discover Xu Kong's talent and ability.

Maybe Xu Kong won’t even go to Fengge in the future, but will directly join their Kiwi Fruit.

And it was because of my arrogance that I missed it.

Not only that, but he also offended the other party without any room for error.

He knew very well that, in fact, most people would not have much impression of some of their opponents after they became successful.

But those moments when you are laughed at, looked down upon, and stepped on when you are insignificant can be remembered for a lifetime.

And then pay it back a hundredfold.

So after being reminded by Xu Kong's assistant, he suddenly wasn't so angry anymore.

There was only a sudden feeling of trance.
