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

Chapter 48 I won't sell this drama anymore

"It's okay, feel free to use it!"

"This drama of yours is also produced by our company. They have nothing to do anyway, and the other two dramas should still be finished soon."

When the crew of "Want to See You" was first established, they did not recruit suitable film and television post-production and editing personnel.

Now that the drama has been completed, Xu Kong naturally directly borrowed the people and various equipment that Fengqing Entertainment Company had previously recruited.

"Then thank you, Sister Yun."

——"Hey, why are you being so polite!"

I have to say that being handsome does come with a lot of convenience sometimes.

The manager in charge of Fengqing Entertainment's film and television post-production department was originally a little hesitant about whether to open up to Xu Kong.

But Xu Kong just casually praised the other party twice, and things became extremely smooth.

Of course, Xu Kong must oversee the entire editing and post-production of the drama.

Apart from him, it is estimated that no one can really make the final film of this drama perfect.

Because there is not too much wasted material and there is no need to worry about which part of the plot should be cut or not, Xu Kong's efficiency can be said to be quite fast.

It took almost a week to finish the haircut.

But apart from that, although this drama does not have many special effects, some of the post-production text and patterns still require professional help.

Also, the soundtrack of the entire drama was what took Xu Kong the longest time.

He sang almost all the songs himself. For some background music that required female singers, Xu Kong found some trainees within Fengqing Entertainment Company based on the principle of proximity.

"Why don't you take a rest? I'm a little scared of you like this."

After finishing the meal, Guo Zihao couldn't help but say.

In the past week, except for eating and sleeping, Xu Kong went into the studio responsible for post-production early in the morning, and sometimes he did not come out until late at night.

However, Xu Kong didn't feel much. Strictly speaking, compared to various announcements and advertisements, his current schedule was quite regular.

"It's okay, it's almost done."

"Next week at the latest."

When Guo Zihao heard Xu Kong say that he planned to edit the film before the end of the month, he thought he was joking. But it seems that Xu Kong is really planning to do so.

"We don't have any project cycle restrictions, and it's already so much earlier than expected. There's no need for this!"

Guo Zihao's words had no effect, and Xu Kong still maintained his own pace.

Finally, less than half a month after the filming of the entire drama was completed, Xu Kong edited the final version of "Want to See You" into 26 episodes.

But Xu Kong knew that this was just the beginning.

The most important thing next is the negotiation with Kiwi.

"Are you sure you want to go by yourself?"

"In fact, it would be much simpler if Mr. Yu came forward."

Guo Zihao looked at Xu Kong who was packing his luggage to go to Shanghai, and asked with some concern.

The fact that Fengqing Entertainment and Kiwi have reached a cooperation is no longer a secret in the circle.

However, after testing Yu Yaqing, Xu Kong basically understood that Fengqing Entertainment had definitely signed a bet agreement with Kiwi.

It is likely that a certain number of views needs to be reached, or the popularity needs to reach a certain indicator. Yu Yaqing also does not want Xu Kong's drama to take up the opportunity for cooperation.

And more importantly, even if Fengqing Entertainment came forward, he still needed to go there in person, because Kiwi would not be able to agree to his conditions directly.

"Stop talking nonsense and ask the driver to drive the car over."

Xu Kong replied casually without further explanation.

"You are Xu Kong?"

At the headquarters building of Kiwi Fruit, the two young girls working at the front desk almost couldn't help but scream out when they saw Xu Kong.

Although as Kiwi's receptionists, they had seen many kinds of celebrities, but after seeing Xu Kong in person, they found that he was much more handsome than in the video, and they all turned into little fangirls.

"I want to meet your President Qin. Could you please help us talk to him?"

After signing autographs and taking photos with the two, Xu Kong spoke.

Before coming here, he also did some homework. The person in charge of introducing new dramas and negotiating copyright budgets at iQiyi is Vice President Qin Xian. "I'll go right away!"

Not long after, the front desk clerk came back.

"Our CEO Qin is in a meeting. Please wait for a moment."

"Come with me first."

Afterwards, Xu Kong and Guo Zihao were taken to the 17th floor of the Kiwi Fruit Company's headquarters building and sat down in a reception room with a very nice environment.

"I heard that Qin Xian is not a good person. He has a very strange temper. If he thinks a drama is not good, Kiwi will not buy it no matter how big the investment is or how luxurious the cast is."

Guo Zihao whispered to Xu Kong about the gossip he had heard.

"As a vice president, can he really have the final say?"

Xu Kong was a little puzzled. In a large listed company like Kiwi, apart from the chairman who actually holds the controlling stake in the company, most of the senior executives are just employees.

"It's just so domineering!"

"The boss of Kiwi is his brother, what do you think?"

Guo Zihao replied somewhat helplessly.

Xu Kong and Guo Zihao arrived at Kiwi's headquarters around nine in the morning, but until noon, they still hadn't seen Qin Xian in person.

On the contrary, the receptionists at Kiwi Fruit Company were quite attentive, serving tea and water, and the lunch was also very sumptuous.

This made it difficult for Xu Kong and Guo Zihao to lose their temper, so they could only wait quietly.

It was around two o'clock in the afternoon when Guo Zihao could no longer hold it in.

He said in an angry tone: "Is your Boss Qin coming or not?"

"If he has something to do, let us know and we'll come back tomorrow."

The receptionist just apologized.

Xu Kong couldn't help it any longer, but after thinking about it, he decided not to lose his temper.

It was around three o'clock when people finally arrived.

However, the person who came was not Qin Xian, the vice president of Kiwi Fruit, but a middle-level manager who looked young.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Guo, I'm sorry for being late. I'm Huang Qifeng, the team leader of the Kiwi Film and Television Department."

Seeing this man, Xu Kong couldn't help but frowned.

"Where is your President Qin?"

——"Boss Qin has something going on and can't leave, so he asked me to come."

"But don't worry, we have already guessed the purpose of your visit. I can make the full decision on this matter."

Xu Kong was a little surprised that he had come here and waited for nearly six hours but couldn't even see Qin Xian.

“This is the source material for the first three episodes of my new drama.”

Before Xu Kong could finish his words, the other party interrupted him.

"No need, we have also learned about your play."

"The copyright fee quoted here is 1.5 million per episode."

"If you have no objection."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Kong had already stood up from his seat.

Then he walked straight out the door.

"Tell Mr. Qin that I won't sell this drama anymore."

Xu Kong's tone was calm, without much emotional ups and downs.

But there was no hesitation in his steps.

"As far as I know, the investment cost of your play is only 30 million, and we pay you the copyright fee."

The voice gradually faded away, but Xu Kong no longer had the mood to listen any further.
