The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 113 Small team-building project in the studio

Wait until Yang Bei leaves.

Xu Xing held another small meeting in the studio.

Although Xu Xing lives very close to here, he seldom comes here.

The studio now has four contracted artists including Xu Xing, and 4 other staff members - most of whom serve Xu Xing.

Because the studio's main source of income still depends on Xu Xing.

Among them, Chen Yuqi and Meng Ziyi are still playing supporting roles to gain popularity and improve their acting skills as much as possible.

There are small supporting roles in Mr. Qu's big productions, as well as important supporting roles in the list of projects recommended by Xu Xing to Liu Cheng - some online dramas that had a good reputation in previous lives.

As for Zhang Ruonan, she has almost finished her acting classes, but according to Liu Cheng, her acting skills are just barely good enough, and she will start to be given official roles in the near future.

So among the three people, the most popular one for the time being is still the eldest sister Chen Yuqi.

She played the second female lead in last year's "Go Princess Go" and also appeared in the web drama "My Best Friend" aired by Leshi in January this year.

She is already considered a promising young star online, and some small projects have invited her to audition for the female lead role.

Somewhat surprisingly, Chen Yuqi did not seem to use the experience she had accumulated as Xu Xing's assistant to become very good at flattering her fans.

Apart from posting photos taken by the studio on the Internet, she hardly does any business.

Then there is Meng Ziyi.

She had already created some hype online, and then she starred in the MV for "Actor", the most popular song in the first half of the year - the song was charged, but watching the MV was free, and many of her fans watched the MV and listened to the song.

After the broadcast of "The Legend of Zhao Zilong" last month, his popularity became higher and his appearance was further recognized with the contrast of Lim Yoona.

——There are also many people complaining about the internet celebrity’s face. She has the most haters among the three, and most of them are fans of Yoona.

Xu Xing has not been in any dramas during this period, so many idle fans slowly dug out the following information: when the EP was released, the three female protagonists in the MV were all artists signed by Xu Xing Studio.

The stars are still very supportive of Xu Xing signing artists to pursue his career. The title of "Boss Xu" is shouted even louder, and they also feel that Xu Xing's life has not been easy.

——Although haters say that signing someone right after debuting means that Xu Xing is either too arrogant, has capital behind him, or has three concubines. But those cheap people are really not enough for Xu Xing's fans to attack now.

The last Zhang Ruonan.

Because she still has university courses to attend, she is still pursuing the internet celebrity route for the time being, and the studio has arranged some print advertisements for her.

——Originally the studio didn’t want her to take the job, but she said she wanted to work part-time to earn tuition. She sounds like a good girl.

Therefore, Zhang Ruonan has a good reputation in the small circle of internet celebrities, but his popularity is definitely not comparable to the other two who have acted in TV shows.

Liu Cheng found an extra agent to take care of the three of them at the same time.

At this meeting, Liu Cheng announced that he had purchased the copyright of a game called "Red Road: Lurker", which was the first IP purchased by the studio and would be adapted into a live-action interactive game.

All three female artists except Xu Xing will perform. This is a small team-building project of the studio.

The male lead will be a newcomer signed by the studio.

In their previous lives, Chen Yuqi, Meng Ziyi, and Zhang Ruonan had been in the industry for so many years, but they only played a few good roles and works. It is rare that a game like "The Invisible Guardian" that basically does not require acting skills can still receive good reviews.

It is still suitable for Chen Yuqi to play the female lead Lu Wangshu, and Meng Ziyi is just right to play the bad woman. Only Zhang Ruonan does not seem to be very suitable.

The production process only involves taking some photos and only requires a short schedule.

After hearing Liu Cheng's words, other people in the studio were very surprised.

Xu Xing likes to play games, and everyone in and out of the circle knows it. But to get all the artists in the studio to do live interactive games is really... What are live interactive games?

In fact, when Liu Cheng heard that Xu Xing was going to spend 2000 million to make this thing, he subconsciously wanted to report to Yu Murong immediately and ask President Yu to stop Xu Xing's lavish spending. But after he found time to play it, he also liked this "shoddy" game.

I thought about expanding it into a screenplay.

However, after the subsequent sensitive plots were expanded in detail, the script quality was required to be higher, and it was obvious that they could only be cut as much as possible. It was highly likely that Mr. Qu would not be able to pass the review.

——Liu Cheng once thought that Mr. Qu was extremely powerful, but he has been stuck in "Darkness" and has now begun to doubt Mr. Qu.

After asking Mr. Qu, Mr. Qu also suggested that we should follow Xu Xing's idea and focus on the interactive games in the front, and he also gave suggestions for deletions and revisions.

After Qu Mingzhen read the game text, she was surprised and relieved that Xu Xing liked this game.

When Xu Xing gave up acting in the masterpieces of big directors and chose to act in Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2", Qu Mingzhen speculated about Xu Xing's inner thoughts.

Now it seems that although Xu Xing left the mainland when he was young, his values are really positive.

However, Qu Mingzhen will not try to force a way to replicate this game.

She knew very well what were the truly sensitive areas and what she needed to tell Xu Xing to pay attention to.

……

Going to dinner in the evening.

After this meeting, Yu Murong told Xu Xing that the house in Jinmao International where she used to live when she worked near China World Trade Center was also given to Xu Xing.

She said that she had resigned from the law firm and there was no need for her to live there anymore.

"I heard from Liu Cheng that the paparazzi are always watching you. Having an extra place to stay will be very convenient for you to date and meet your girlfriend."

Yu Murong's intention was to encourage Xu Xing to fall in love.

Xu Xing really wanted to confess, but he didn't know how.

I also want to ask where she lives?

"The one you filmed with before, Chen Dulin, you two have been in contact, right? Although she's not very good-looking, she seems to be quite peaceful. How about you two date her?"

Qu Mingzhen next to him laughed.

"Uh...uh?"

Xu Xing didn't expect that the two of them wanted to choose one.

"I saw the news online. She posted on WeChat Moments that you helped her bet on Leicester City to win the Premier League title? Xiao Xing is so amazing! You two must have a good relationship, right?"

Qu Mingzhen continued to test.

"She didn't say it was me, and didn't she also clarify that every team bought the championship?"

Xu Xing wanted to deny it.

Last year, Chen Dulin said in an interview that although she was not influenced by the name to become a fan, she was very envious of a classmate who made 21 yuan by betting on the score during the World Cup.

When "The Beginning" was launched, Xu Xing and Chen Dulin were interviewed together. She was cueed to the topic of football again, and she talked about it again, feeling really envious.

After the interview, Xu Xing told her that if you guess enough, you will eventually get it right. For example, Leicester City is in good momentum in the Premier League this year. If you guess Leicester City will be the champion now, if you guess right next year, won’t you be happy for the rest of your life?

"It's really not you?"

"Well, it's me."
