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

Chapter 75 Xu Kong + Su Zhi = Traffic Password
"Tell me, how should I reward you?"

After meeting with Qin Xian, Yu Yaqing called Xu Kong to her office.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Yu for giving me the opportunity to film this drama."

Xu Kong pretended not to understand.

The main reason is that I just met Su Zhi yesterday. Although she is young and energetic with a good body, even the strongest man can't stand such squeeze!

However, Yu Yaqing didn't listen to this. On the surface, no change seemed to occur. She just supported her chin without saying a word, staring at Xu Kong in front of her with a smile on her face.

In fact, there had been movement under the huge desk a long time ago.

Compared with Xu Kong, who is very good at martial arts, Ms. Yu's feet, wearing black stockings, are incredibly flexible.

Xu Kong felt a little helpless, but he had no choice but to enjoy it.

"Your original decision was correct. If you just sell the copyright, it is indeed not as cost-effective as splitting the profits."

"It's mainly because you are a newcomer after all, and these platforms don't trust you."

"But if possible, it would be best to sell the copyright later."

Yu Yaqing gently rolled up the dirty stockings on her feet and threw them into the trash can while silently giving a reminder.

She knew that Xu Kong was confident, otherwise he would not have insisted on cooperating with Penguin Video in a profit-sharing model.

This is definitely a good thing. After all, as a young person, the most precious thing is this kind of pride and self-confidence.

When one becomes a so-called big director or a famous movie star, one tends to become cautious.

The risks of shared-revenue dramas are too high. Selling copyrights is the mainstream of the current market, and letting the platform bear these risks is the best option.

After all, no one can guarantee that every drama of theirs will be a hit.

She was worried that Xu Kong would become too arrogant because of this success.

"I know."

Xu Kong nodded, agreeing with what the other party said in his heart.

If possible, copyrighted dramas are the best choice for producers.

It is more reassuring to put the money in your pocket.

"Boss Yu, our company's drama will be aired next month. Isn't that a bit too rushed?"

Xu Kong still couldn't help but want to give a reminder.

According to the current situation, "Want to See You" will probably be finished airing in early November.

But compared to "Want to See You", Kiwi's "Yan Ruyu" is much longer and is expected to be completed in mid-November.

This new drama from Fengqing Entertainment was chosen to be launched directly in early November, even when "Yan Ruyu" on the same platform had not yet finished airing.

Such a decision is obviously not a wise one.

"I don't want to either. Originally, I planned to wait until their drama 'Yan Ruyu' was finished airing before scheduling it."

"But Kiwi also seems to be under a lot of pressure. The data of Yan Ruyu did not meet expectations. Other platforms like Penguin and Tudou will also release new dramas this quarter.

"They urgently need a second drama to take over, so they plan to move up the time slot for our drama."

Yu Yaqing started to explain.

But later he smiled and said: "Although the release date has been moved up, it has little impact."

"The most we can do is to bring forward the publicity and promotion."

It can be seen that Yu Yaqing is still very confident about this costume drama produced by Fengqing Entertainment.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Kong still couldn't bear to pour cold water on her.

I just gave the same advice as before:

"Mr. Yu, I still hold the same opinion as before. There is no need to invest so much in publicity and promotion."

Yu Yaqing waved her hand.

"Promotion is essential." "Not every drama can be as popular as yours before it's aired so easily."

"The finale will be released next week, and the number of views has already exceeded 2 billion!"

“The rating on Douban has also reached 9 points.”

Guo Zihao reported the latest data of "Want to See You", but after he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Kong with some curiosity.

"Why do you look unhappy?"

These were obviously good news, but Xu Kong looked worried at this moment.

Xu Kong did not answer his question, but asked:
"Do you know how much the publicity and promotion budget for our company's new drama is?"

Guo Zihao didn't quite catch up with Xu Kong's jumping thoughts, but he still replied:
"Is it the costume drama starring Song Peiyu?"

"According to the gossip I got, the budget for publicity and promotion seems to be quite high, reportedly no less than 2 million!"

The production cost of this drama produced by Fengqing Entertainment itself actually only reached 2 million.

This was because it was the first time I was involved in a film and television project, and my lack of experience caused the production costs to exceed expectations.

In other words, the publicity and promotion costs alone are almost as high as or even exceed the production costs.

Although this kind of operation is already very common in the entertainment industry, Fengqing Entertainment has always been famous for its various sophisticated marketing methods.

But as a company that has just entered the film and television industry, walking on such a tightrope is too risky!

What made Xu Kong even more speechless was that the entire Fengqing Entertainment, including Yu Yaqing herself, did not think there was a problem.

"Don't worry. Although Song Peiyu's new drama has a high investment, it may not be more popular than our "Want to See You" after it airs."

"And when the company has a new project next time, Mr. Yu will definitely give you a higher investment budget."

Guo Zihao began to comfort her.

He thought Xu Kong was jealous of Song Peiyu.

Xu Kong gave the other person a speechless look and was too lazy to say anything more.

What he was worried about was that, let alone how much investment to make, he was afraid that by then Fengqing Entertainment wouldn’t even be able to invest in the next drama.

"This competition is really nothing to watch. It's all just ordinary amateurs, and the quality of the songs they write is not high."

"If we hadn't invited Su Zhi as a guest, there probably wouldn't be so many viewers."

In Feiniao's live broadcast room, he was currently watching a live broadcast of the city promotion song and singer recruitment competition held by Suzhou's local propaganda department.

This match didn't have any excitement at all.

The number of people watching the live broadcast has remained stable at around three to four hundred people, and they are all relatives or friends of the registered contestants.

However, some time ago, Suzhou’s official Weibo suddenly announced that Su Zhi has become the local city promotion ambassador and will also perform as a guest on the show. The topic became a hot topic and received considerable attention.

"Su Zhi came out last, and it felt like time was passing too slowly."

"Anchor, why don't you stop watching it? It's really a bit boring."

"After watching professional music shows like The Singer, this kind of competition seems too amateurish."

Fei Niao looked at the complaints in the live broadcast room and couldn't help but comfort them:
"Don't worry, the main thing is that the new song that Su Zhi is going to sing this time was said to be written by Xu Kong."

"It's still worth waiting a little longer."

If there is only one Su Zhi, even a singing queen like Su Zhi, at most she can only attract some of her fans to watch the live broadcast.

But if you add the new song Xu Kong wrote for Su Zhi, the popularity will be exaggerated.

This is also the reason why Fat Bird has waited until now.

You should know that after the final of "Singer", with the rise of various CP parties, most of the self-media knew about it.

Xu Kong plus Su Zhi, that is the absolute traffic password.
