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

Chapter 340: Shang Yuxin is powerless
To Xu Kong, Shang Yuxin's charm was indeed something he could not see in other people.

It seemed as if it was innate. In fact, Xu Kong had discovered it before.

That's why I'm so resistant to anything really happening between me and Shang Yuxin.

Because the other party is really good at it.

He was worried that he would fall into the trap if he was not careful.

But now, this has become a benefit.

After all, he is the one who "sits back" and enjoys the fruits of others' labor.

Just like now, he was enjoying himself sitting in the bathtub, and there was almost no need for too many words, Shang Yuxin could take the initiative to guide him.

It must be said that he was quite familiar with the battlefield environment of the bathtub.

But most of the battles were fought with the Su family army.

As for Shang, more fighting actually took place in his office in Feng Ge.

The two are fundamentally different.

Because when he is with Su Zhi, he is usually the active one, because Su Zhi prefers him to be in control of her feelings.

So most of the time, Su Zhi would hold the edge of the bathtub and lure the person into the trap.

However, Shang Yuxin prefers to work hard to feed herself.

Xu Kong only needed to lie down honestly the whole time, and from time to time feel the smallness and cuteness that was different from Su Zhi's huge capital.

……

"The water is dirty, let me change it..."

After a long time, Shang Yuxin, who was exhausted, finally recovered a little and took the initiative to speak.

However, Xu Kong pulled the other person who was about to leave.

"No need."

Shang Yuxin was stunned for a moment.

But soon her face turned red again.

Because she felt Xu Kong's spirits were revived.

Obviously, what Xu Kong meant was that even if it was changed, it would still get dirty later.

It is obvious that although Shang Yuxin has indeed made a lot of progress, there is still a clear gap in combat effectiveness compared to Xu Kong.

She was already overwhelmed, but Xu Kong was just getting started.

Fortunately, this time Xu Kong did not let her waste her energy again, but chose to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of wasting her energy.

This time, Shang Yuxin seemed completely powerless to resist.

Even with the way Xu Kong was holding her at that moment, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't accept it at all.

As if he was holding a child, Xu Kong held his thighs firmly with his strong hands.

……

"No, I...I don't want to..."

She couldn't help but recall the time when she and Xu Kong were still in the stage of tug-of-war.

The lesson that the other party gave him in the toilet.

Xu Kong was very patient, because he was sitting and did not need to expend too much physical energy.

Just observing carefully and trying to advance slowly.

Suddenly, Shang Yuxin didn't know why, she clearly didn't feel like peeing at all.

But still...

At the same time, she herself began to tremble.

After the second time, I felt even more tired.

But still couldn't get rid of Xu Kong.

You can only let the other person continue to maintain this shameful posture while you start to do whatever you want.

……

The next day, in the capital of Korea, Shang Yuxin made a very serious travel plan, so Xu Kong was relieved and only needed to follow her footsteps.

However, Xu Kong also felt a little emotional, as the intensity was so high last night.

He thought that Shang Nvcha would not be able to go out today, but he didn't expect that she looked so energetic.

Going shopping with girls is really unfriendly to men.

People like Su Zhi, who have no interest in shopping, are exceptions.

Shang Yuxin is the type who can’t stop once she starts shopping.

Although Xu Kong was a little tired, he was not the kind of person who would spoil the fun.

It can be seen that Shang Yuxin at this moment has completely let down all her guard, which is a rare state.

That's good too.

At least compared to when Xu Kong first met the other party, he looked a lot cuter, even though he always had a smile on his face, but he was obviously thinking about a lot of things.

"Is it tasty?"

After taking a bite, Shang Yuxin handed the snack she had found to Xu Kong as if presenting a treasure.

There was an expression of anticipation in his eyes.

It was not until Xu Kong nodded in surprise that she became happy from the bottom of her heart.

There is no way. Any girl, even someone like Su Zhi or Ms. Yu, actually needs to be coaxed.

Fortunately, Xu Kong is not very good at this, but he is not too dull either.

……

Shang Yuxin and I spent two days wandering around the capital, visiting all the sights we should see and eating all the food she wanted.

The two finally got on the plane back home.

I have to say, although it was only two days, Xu Kong was able to be in such a relaxed state, which was rare.

There is no way. As his popularity in the country grows, he now has to disguise himself for a long time almost every time he goes out.

And I was in a state of fear throughout the whole process.

On Paocai's side, Xu Kong and Shang Yuxin were not too worried about being recognized.

With a little disguise, they look like a young couple traveling.

Almost no matter how busy a place is, you just need to be a little careful.

The mentality is completely different.

"Once Squidward is released, I think it will be hard to have such an opportunity again..."

“So this is the final time.”

On the plane, Shang Yuxin spoke.

This surprised Xu Kong, and he smiled and asked:
"Are you so sure that this drama will be a hit?"

"Although you are the female lead in the film, you don't have many scenes..."

……

Shang Yuxin shook her head.

He did not hide his thoughts.

"I can't guess."

"What I am worst at is judging whether the audience will like a play after it is broadcast."

There is nothing wrong with what Shang Yuxin said.

Because if she had such ability, she would not have acted in Chang Dachun's movie which failed both in terms of reputation and box office.

"But I trust you, Director Xu."

"Since you specifically asked me to play this role, it's probably because this role has a great chance of becoming a hit."

Shang Yuxin has her own analytical methods.

After she finished starring in "Sweet Honey", she was almost certain to enter the film industry.

Even while the movie was still in theaters, many well-known directors and producers approached her.

However, when she heard Xu Kong asking her to act in "Squid Game", she agreed without any hesitation.

In the past, most of the choices she made ended up with bad results.

I don’t know if it’s because of luck or her own vision.

Fortunately, her luck in other aspects was not bad. For example, she happened to win the Golden Eagle Goddess, and later when she reached a bottleneck in her career, she met Xu Kong of Laifengge.

So Shang Yuxin is very smart. Since she can't choose, she lets Xu Kong help her decide. ...

Shang Yuxin had completely forgotten at this time that she had indeed wanted Xu Kong to fall in love with her, so that she could have a smoother career path in the future, just like Yan Jiaheng or some other suitors.

But now, it seems that she is the one who is trapped.

The capital that she has always cherished, that is, herself and the so-called bottom line, was given to Xu Kong in full.

But fortunately, this is what she wanted to do.

Although he knew some other secrets of Xu Kong, he was willing to do it.

Shang Yuxin cut her hair short for her role in "Squid Game".

In addition to being more convenient when biting, the whole person looks a lot more sunny.

Xu Kong saw this and thought it was quite good.

Obviously, the other person is not that old, only about twenty-five or twenty-six, but she rarely has the youthfulness of a girl.

This is not about dressing.

But Shang Yuxin gave him the feeling that she was a little too mature at the beginning.

It seemed as if everything was within her calculations.

Such people are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, and Xu Kong has seen many of them.

Not every person like this will have a bad ending, but it is true that most of them don't live a happy life.

……

In Beijing, "The Beginning" has been on the air for a month, and the finale will be in a few days.

For Fengge’s employees, they should have been extremely busy since the show started airing, but they are surprisingly somewhat idle during this period.

The main reason is that it went a little too smoothly.

I originally thought that it would be a long tug-of-war with the film "The Powerful World" released at the same time.

Who knew that the opponent would be so vulnerable and would almost break at the slightest touch.

In fact, as "The Beginning" enters the second half, the previous puzzles, such as the fact that the driver was the culprit of the bus explosion, are not difficult to guess.

In the second half, the plot mainly focuses on the various life situations of the people on the bus.

The story begins with attractive points such as time loop and explosion to attract the audience into the plot.

The final focus falls on the so-called humanistic care, which is itself a rather pleasing means.

Fortunately, although the whole drama has its flaws, the plot handling is definitely above the passing line.

The final score stabilized at around 7.8, which is fair.

This includes the fact that expectations were too high because of Xu Kong, which led to some dissatisfied viewers.

At this time, everyone gradually accepted the overall quality of the drama.

After all, it all depends on the support of peers.

In the eyes of many veteran viewers, this drama is not as good as Xu Kong's "Sweet Honey" released this year.

It is even more different from the previous "The Long Season".

But who can blame the fact that domestic TV dramas are not that good? A suspense drama of the quality of "The Beginning" can already be considered very high quality.

……

"I heard that Changyun Film and Television's losses this time exceeded 500 million!"

"And it's real gold and silver, not watered down."

When Yan Rui, the manager of the film and television department, said this to Xu Kong, a look of gloating was almost written on his face.

Fortunately, Xu Kong would not have any sympathy at all.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t see with his own eyes what Zhu Changyun’s expression was like now.

Thinking about the few times the other party had met him, and how he had always been condescending, Xu Kong felt happy.

And it is estimated that Zhu Changyun did not realize the seriousness of the matter at this time.

I really thought it was just a mistake made by my company.

But in fact, in Xu Kong's plan, this is just the beginning.

Xu Kong was originally prepared for a long war.

After all, Changyun Film and Television has the resources and capital.

Although Xu Kong is confident, he certainly doesn't really regard some of his colleagues in the world as idiots who always make bad movies and TV series.

So even if "The Beginning" was finally overshadowed by the rival drama "The Power of the World".

Xu Kong wouldn't feel too surprised either.

Anyway, the cost of the whole drama is low, so recovering the cost will definitely not be a big problem.

Who knew that the opponent was so weak that the game was basically over not long after it started.

……

"Mr. Zhu, it's true that Changyun is brave. It is said that before the filming of "The Power of the World", many advertisers approached them in advance, but they were all rejected by Changyun Film and Television."

“Although costume dramas are not really suitable for product placement, it is not completely impossible.”

"And they will definitely make some money based on the normal copyright fees."

"But Zhu Changyun is just greedy. He actually signed a gambling agreement with Kiwi and Ocean TV."

Yan Rui couldn't help but sigh.

In his opinion, Mr. Zhu, who was once considered the most adept at various business arrangements in Fengge and was full of majesty and oppression, now feels like he has fallen from the altar and turned into a clown.

Although I don’t know whether this news is true or not.

At present, even Xu Kong knows that Changyun Film and Television has always maintained a low profile.

Try to avoid talking about the losses of "The Powerful World".

But through Yan Rui's words, he felt that this was something Zhu Changyun would do.

After all, the first impression the other party gave him was that he was extremely arrogant and overconfident.

Speaking of which, given Zhu Changyun's identity and position, he would have been a little more cautious, let alone a project as big as "The Powerful World".

In this regard, I would also like to thank Lao Song.

If Song Fuquan hadn’t deliberately asked Zhu Changyun to take the Fengge elders away.

The process of Zhu Changyun establishing Changyun Film and Television was so smooth, and the other party’s first drama was a hit.

I don't think Zhu Changyun would be so extreme.

If you want to destroy it, you must make it crazy first.

In fact, everything that happens now has a reason.

……

"By the way, people on Tudou Video have already started asking Director Xu about your new drama."

"Penguin's CEO Zeng has also started asking about the progress."

Xu Kong was the director of "The Hidden Corner", but he did not invite the media to attend the opening ceremony when filming started.

But the word certainly got out.

With the popularity of "The Beginning", there is no doubt that Xu Kong's new drama will be a hot commodity.

"Mr. Tu from Tudou Video said that if we are willing to cooperate, your new drama will still follow the current profit-sharing model."

Xu Kong didn't expect that Tu Qiaoer's ambition was so big.

Obviously, the revenue from advertising, membership, and other aspects of "Beginning" is quite considerable.

But 70% of it belongs to Fengge. Strictly speaking, Tudou Video didn’t make much.

But the number of new users brought to the other party by this drama alone is estimated to be equal to the number of new users added by Tudou in a year.

The data for paid members is even more spectacular.

But Xu Kong originally thought that Tudou would only cooperate with this company once.

After all, the profits distributed are too great, and the platform generally cannot accept them for a long time.

But now it seems that Tu Qiaoer is still not satisfied.

Does he want Tudou Video's monthly active users to catch up with the two major platforms, Penguin and Kiwi?

Although the three are known as the three major domestic platforms, there is still a clear gap in the number of users.

Tu Qiaoer, as the vice president of Tudou, is not only decisive but also ambitious.
