The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 109 Save Xu Xing
That is Megan's greatest confidence.

"City of a Thousand Planets" will make Chris Wu Dian even more noble.

Not only Megan is praising him, but fans also generally believe that Chris Wu will dethrone Xu Xing in the future, just like Xu Xing replaced Lu Han to become the new top star, thus completing the replacement of the top star.

Previously, Xu Xing had defeated Lu Han through two movies and a TV series written by himself. And through the release of the EP, he crushed Lu Han in all aspects.

Then Chris Wu should replace Xu Xing with the release of "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back".

Recently, there was news that Chris Wu might start working on a new album soon. The two changes of top stars should be almost a repetition of the same story.

no way.

There is really little confidence in Xu Xing’s subsequent resources.

Although Xu Xing has always been following the word-of-mouth route, her songs are better than Chris Wu's and her acting skills are much better than his.

But even if a modern idol drama or a fairy idol drama has good ratings, what kind of reputation can they have?
Dramas like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Nirvana in Fire" and "The Beginning" are the most popular dramas.

And TV is really not as good as movies.

The only movie resource that Xu Xing has officially announced is "Wolf Warrior 2".

But "Wolf Warrior 1" is just a movie with a Douban score of 7 and a box office of 5 million.

It really makes people unable to help but complain: Is it true that Xu Xing can only get this kind of movie?

Originally, the King Oyster Mushrooms were still trying to clean up the mess, saying that Xu Xing only deliberately collaborated with Wu Jing in "Wolf Warrior 2" to give the haters a slap in the face. However, Xu Xing's next movie with a great director will be officially announced soon!

Then, where did Xuan go?

Did Xuan enter the dream of King Oyster Mushroom?

No matter how much the King Oyster Mushrooms brag about her all over the internet, rational netizens and fans can see that the industry's evaluation of Xu Xing does not seem to be as high as they say.

Look at the comment section on Xu Xing Studio’s Weibo account, which has been almost two months since the official announcement of Wolf Warrior 2. Click on the latest comment to see how many King Oyster Mushrooms are still checking in and cursing every day.

King oyster mushrooms actually have some tricks, but they just talk big.

Xu Xing’s development prospects are really worrying!
Therefore, passers-by who have a good impression of Xu Xing can only pin their hopes on "Detective Chinatown 2", which is the life-saving straw for the stars.

With the audience base of the first film, the box office of the second film should at least exceed 10 billion!
Then, the third part...

Well, because the team is so useless, Xu Xing’s fans have already looked forward to "Detective Chinatown 3" in advance.

They now mainly do two things every day. One is to go to Xu Xing Studio’s Weibo to scold the team headed by Liu Cheng; the other is to go to Chen Sicheng’s Weibo to request Director Chen to start filming "Detective Chinatown 2" as soon as possible.

They also had the same topic tag - #Save Xu Xing#.

It gave the fans a lot of fun.

It was already very funny that there were fights from time to time between Xu Xing's fan club and big fans.

The subsequent resources were poor and there were constant infighting among fans.

Such Xu Xing can temporarily sit in the top position.

Who could believe that he would sit there for long?

……

Xu Xing came to attend the dinner, of course, not because of the fans’ pleas for Director Chen to save her.

It was just an ordinary dinner.

Of course, "Detective Chinatown 2" will not be that fast.

In his previous life, after the success of "Detective Chinatown 1", Chen Shicheng began planning how to take control of this IP in his own hands. He had to be given time to think and plan.

In his previous life, before making "Detective Chinatown 2", Chen Shicheng sold his company's shares to Wan Da as a transition.

When it came to "Detective Chinatown 3", Chen Shicheng opened a new company to enter the market, while Wang Baoqiang, who had participated in "Detective Chinatown 1" and "Detective Chinatown 2" and received shares of the profits, "only" received a fixed salary of 8000 million yuan and was unable to participate in the box office share again.

These subsequent series of operations are all Chen Shicheng's way to get the biggest piece of the IP pie.

In the end, even good brother Wang Baoqiang had to "exit with dignity".

That's why Xu Xing threw the script of "Detective Chinatown 2" to producer Chen Xi early on to test the waters.

The news that Xu Xing joined Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" and got an investment share has begun to circulate in the industry.

When Chen Shicheng gets the script written in advance by Xu Xing from Chen Xi, he will know that Xu Xing also wants to get on the bus.

So, in Chen Shicheng’s vision of his business empire, how will he deal with Xu Xing, whom he did not want to use at first and who still has "ambitions"?

These issues that Chen Shicheng needs to consider will not be brought up in advance at this dinner.

Everyone just congratulated Director Chen's wife on giving birth to a child last month, drank some wine, talked a little, looked forward to the future, and then -

Producer Chen Xi took the opportunity to announce that she would soon start preparing for pregnancy, which means she would not be involved in "Detective Chinatown 2". It may be that the subsequent capital game of "Detective Chinatown" made her feel tired as a producer.

The success of "Wolf Warrior 1" only shows that there is a market for war action movies in China, which means that investors do not have high market expectations for "Wolf Warrior 2".

The success of "Detective Chinatown 1" is the joint success of the talented director Chen Shicheng, Wang Baoqiang who is very popular with the audience and has strong box office appeal, and the newcomer Xu Xing who has the fastest rising momentum.

The pictures in everyone's mind are many, many more beautiful.

It is also very troublesome to divide the cake.

For the time being, Xu Xing still considers himself a freeloader.

Let’s get the box office results first.

So normally speaking, we will still be able to sit together and drink in the future.

As long as Director Chen didn't get so angry after reading the script of "Detective Chinatown 2" that he insisted on kicking Xu Xing out.

……

Return to the crew and continue filming.

Ever since Xu Xing recommended "Honor of Kings" to Yang Mi, she rarely came to hang out with Xu Xing when she was bored.

I only occasionally see people complaining about what Xu Xing does every night and why he never goes online to play games.

Except for the few days after Xu Xing recommended the game to her, when Xu Xing helped her win two games at night, proving that Xu Xing was indeed playing this game, Xu Xing never went online again.

Maybe it was because she just started playing and was not particularly into it. In addition, Xu Xing also advised her not to stay up too late to play and delay the next day's filming. She also knew the importance of the drama "Three Lives Three Worlds".

There was no case of Yang Mi dozing off on the set during the day.

Her mental state is pretty good. As for her acting skills...

Yang Mi played very stably.

It can be seen that he has many minor flaws developed from years of acting.

The lines were not spoken clearly - this was one of the reasons why Xu Xing had been reading the script, and she also had to memorize her lines.

But she would not act in a way that was completely contrary to the norm. Her stereotyped emotional performance came naturally, and she could barely be considered to have the calmness of a beggar's old artist.

Sometimes, driven by Xu Xing's emotions, she can perform beyond her normal level.

This was said by director Lin Yufen herself.

After playing the role of Lord Mo Yuan who endured the thunder tribulation for his apprentice Si Yin (Bai Qian disguised as a man), Director Lin directly praised Xu Xing and even joked in a joking tone that Yang Mi could learn from Master Mo Yuan.

Yang Mi smiled awkwardly, then used too much force in the next one.

Director Lin could only helplessly tell her to just do it the same way as before and not to learn anymore.

This is a 60-episode TV series, and the schedule is tight, so there is no time to hone my acting skills.

Therefore, the shooting process was generally smooth.

Director Lin filmed two dramas with Xu Xing in a row, and was very pleased that Xu Xing's acting was getting better and better. She would occasionally secretly remind Xu Xing not to relax her acting skills like Yang Mi did after she became famous.

When she was explaining the play to Xu Xing, Xu Xing would occasionally cooperate with her in teasing Yang Mi's acting skills, so Director Lin was very clear about Xu Xing's evaluation of Yang Mi's acting skills.

Of course, despite all the complaints, Xu Xing has to admit that Yang Mi is the best actress in all the dramas he has starred in since Song Yunhua.

At the beginning of 2016, her acting skills were still better than Chen Dulin and Reba.

After all, it’s the last hit drama.

He is also better than the extremely positive Meng Ziyi in Xu Xing Studio.

Yes, Xu Xing used "King of Glory" to get rid of Yang Mi, but Meng Ziyi...

The third time they met, the boss started to be very friendly and polite, and then became Brother Xing. Even Sun Man couldn't stop him from asking about his well-being.

"The Legend of Zhao Zilong" hasn't even aired yet, but Sun Man is already annoyed with her.

So, one day in March, after dinner, Xu Xing returned to the hotel. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Meng Ziyi waiting inside with a nervous look but a forced smile.

She wore a black gauze dress and put on exquisite makeup.

Just as Xu Xing frowned, he saw a WeChat message from Sun Man on his phone.

【Get rid of her quickly. 】
