The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 134 is all about enjoying the pleasure of crushing someone head-on!

"Three Lives Three Worlds" has been confirmed to be broadcast during the winter vacation next year.

The two songs that Xu Xing prepared for this drama are the two songs that were very popular in his previous life, "Three Lives Three Worlds" and "Liang Liang".

These two songs greatly increased the popularity of "Three Lives Three Worlds" when the ratings were average in the early stage of its broadcast, and attracted many viewers.

It can almost be said to be the most successful TV drama OST in the 10s.

This time, the song "Three Lives Three Worlds" was naturally sung by Xu Xing himself.

For the song "Liangliang", Xu Xing still asked Zhang Bichen to sing with him.

After all, Xu Xing's voice and singing skills are not as good as Yang Zongwei's, so it is better to find another original version to provide support.

Recorded directly in the island province.

After adjusting the condition of my voice for a few days, there were still a lot of problems during the actual recording session.

Xu Xing's voice is just as it was commented on when she first performed on the Spring Festival Gala, a loud and pleasant voice, which is most suitable for songs like "Confession Balloon" and "Love Yourself".

These two songs, one is clear and high-pitched, the other is deep in emotion, and both are very difficult to sing.

Fortunately, Xu Xing has plenty of time to improve himself slowly.

After Zhang Bichen finished recording her tracks and left, Xu Xing spent another week and finally recorded two songs.

Liu Cheng also happened to fly to the island province to visit the set.

Have dinner together in the evening.

"Chris Wu has signed with Universal, and the official announcement will be made in a few days. The album will be released as early as March next year. I think the team is also interested in the variety show "China Rap" that you mentioned earlier. He is releasing an album at this time, and there is a high probability that he wants to grab this variety show. What are your plans now?"

Liu Cheng asked.

He had already had preliminary contact with Che Che, the director who was preparing this variety show, confirmed his intention to join, and was negotiating his remuneration.

After hearing that Chris Wu was going to sign a contract with Universal, he called Che Che again, but they still couldn't come to an agreement, so he felt a little unsuccessful.

Xu Xing was a little surprised.

Some time ago, Xu Xing tried to recall that Chris Wu signed with Universal Music to top the charts overseas in 18, and he had released a pilot album in 17.

Unexpectedly, he signed with Universal in advance this time.

It must be because Xu Xing first came into contact with “The Rap of China”.

Xu Xing thought about it.

"Should we contact Warner or Sony? Right now, 'Love Yourself' is ranked 27th on YouTube's annual world chart. As long as we can promote this song in the US market and get some publicity, we should be able to get it into the top . Then, I'll release another rap song, and we must win this variety show."

Record one season and then run.

In 2013, Xie Di's song "I'm Not Going to Work Tomorrow" on "Sing My Songs in China" brought domestic underground hip-hop music into the mainstream.

And after so many years of development, it has entered a period of waiting for an explosion.

The previous version of "The Rap of China" seized this opportunity and brought the underground hip-hop culture to the surface.

Wu Qian's team's vision is indeed accurate, allowing this variety show to extend his life.

This chance to prolong his life cannot be given to him.

I have to find time to practice flow and freestyle again.

Although Xu Xing also has the drama "Want to See You", this "The Rap of China" will also be Xu Xing's first variety show, so it seems to be foolproof.

But the entertainment industry is not a place where reason can be used.

According to normal procedures, Chris Wu officially announced that he has signed a contract with Universal Music, so soon the news that he is interested in joining the "China Rap" which is currently in preparation will be released.

The production team will also use Xu Xing and Chris Wu's competition to join to hype up the show.

Now Xu Xing has forcibly regained the title of the top star. In fact, Chris Wu's team, which had experienced the scandal, could have accepted the result of not having won the title.

In addition, "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" will be released during the Spring Festival next year, which is also the key confidence for his team to compete with Xu Xing for this variety show.

Chris Wu's team envisions the future of development——

"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was a huge hit, and the album also achieved great success in the United States. The combination of the two gave her the biggest bargaining chip to compete with Xu Xing.

The Rap of China became a huge hit again after its broadcast and became the top-tier show.

Even though Xu Xing knew that "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" would flop, he couldn't be careless. What if Chris Wu had served some big boss of Kiwi?

"Why don't we consider Scooter again?" Liu Cheng suggested. "I heard that he went to South Korea these days. Why don't we find a middleman to meet with him and have a chat? If he doesn't plan to develop in the United States for a long time, and just wants to sign an agent contract and promote a few singles, the funds required should not be that much."

"No need," Xu Xing shook his head. "Didn't you say before that the general manager of Universal Greater China has always wanted to sign me? I'll sign with Universal too. His label should be Interscope? I'll sign with that too. I'll just promote this song "Love Yourself" as a sample, help him expand the market first, and let him work hard based on me."

For a single that ranks 27th on YouTube's Global Annual Chart, Universal executives cannot fail to see its market potential in the United States.

"Uh..." Liu Cheng was a little confused, "That's fine too."

Maybe Xu Xing just wanted to enjoy the pleasure of crushing Chris Wu head-on.

"Let's officially launch the drama 'Want to See You'. Then go find Yang Bei and sell her the favor of having 'Want to See You' aired on both Penguin and Kiwi. We'll sign the contract for 'The Rap of China' in advance and kick Chris Wu out directly."

Xu Xing gave another order.

"Do you have a suitable candidate for the heroine of "Want to See You"?"

Liu Cheng asked.

"...Ask Li Qin for an audition? Otherwise, I met Ke Guiyan who just won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actress during filming, and I think she's similar. I'll just go with the two of them."

Xu Xing meant that if Li Qin was just okay, then let Liu Cheng go and see where he could exchange for better resources.

During this period of filming in the island province, people visited the set from time to time, which made Xu Xing feel that it was not difficult to get the nomination, and there was no need to force the role on Ke Guiyan.

"Okay," Liu Cheng nodded, then stretched out his hand to calculate, "'Detective Chinatown 2' will start filming in August, 'The Rap of China' should be recorded around April, and the script for 'Celebrating Life' has not been completed yet, so it will probably start filming at the end of next year or the beginning of next year. So 'Want to See You' would be best to start filming in the first half of the year..."

"What about "The Wandering Earth"?"

Xu Xing reminded him. "Oh, I almost forgot. This movie will probably start shooting around May, and "Want to See You" will be in the second half of the year."

After Liu Cheng finished tidying up, he smiled.

After the New Year, Xu Xing can go to the United States to participate in activities and promote songs.

A busy 2017!

Fans will definitely be satisfied.

……

So on December 12th.

Xu Xing officially announced that she has signed with Interscope, a label under Universal Music.

An hour later, Chris Wu also officially announced that he had signed with the same label, becoming the first Chinese person to sign with Universal's international expansion plan.

And unlike Xu Xing who only had a line of text from the studio, Chris Wu released a video.

In the video, Chris Wu appeared at the global headquarters of Universal Music Group in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, USA, and raised champagne with the group's president and CEO Sir Lucian Grainge.

It doesn't look very high-end.

Chris Wu's team also released a press release on the entire Internet that his first solo album is in production and will be released to the public soon.

On Weibo hot searches, one ranked first and the other ranked second.

The announcements were made almost at the same time. Xu Xing announced it first, but Chris Wu's copy included the words "the first signed Chinese". People in the industry and fan circles could see with a blind eye that the two companies were fighting.

On Weibo Square, some fans of Xu Xing were confused and questioned, is Xing Bao not Chinese?
There are also big fans of Chris Wu who claim that the inside information is absolutely reliable: Chris Wu's team signed the contract first, and Xu Xing's team signed the contract later. However, because of someone's well-known ranking cancer, their team announced the signing first, which is really shameless!
As evidenced by the fact that Chris Wu showed up at Universal's headquarters and drank with the CEO, that person is truly a clown!
At the same time, a big fan of Xu Xing revealed that Xu Xing had already signed a contract with Universal and was preparing to push "Love Yourself", the single ranked 27th on the YouTube annual chart, into the American market and was about to make an official announcement.

Universal Music has always wanted Xu Xing to go to the United States, but Xu Xing has been busy filming and is too busy to do so.

Unexpectedly, Chris Wu’s team flew directly to the United States to lick the boots of Universal Music.

While questioning Chris Wu whether he has a world-famous song like "Love Yourself"?
On the one hand, they mocked Chris Wu for having been sitting at home picking his feet for nearly a year without joining any crew and having been abandoned by capital.

Fans of the two groups quarreled with each other on Weibo.

Of course, it was mainly because Mantianxing tore Megan apart into pieces, and it was a completely one-sided beating.

The onlookers and other opponents who had been torn apart by Mantianxing wanted to leave, after all, the one released by Chris Wu was indeed more convincing.

No matter how bad Chris Wu is, he is right this time.

Immediately afterwards, some self-media broke the news that the variety show "The Rap of China" that Kiwi was preparing was being fought over by Xu Xing and Chris Wu.

With two top stars competing for the spot, the show is so popular!

He explained to the onlookers the reason why the two of them were competing for the first signature.

Soon after, a photo of Chris Wu and "The Rap of China" director Che Che was circulated.

So the wind direction immediately changed. Chris Wu had already confirmed to join, but Xu Xing insisted on grabbing this resource.

Xu Xing’s haters all felt very happy watching this.

The daily marketing against fan clubs selling tea finally backfired!
I couldn't hold it in any longer and ended up.

Revenge when there is a grievance, and revenge when there is a grudge.

Those who are trying to steal and take advantage of others should get out of the entertainment industry right away!

However, soon, some lucky fans reposted articles updated by Universal Music Group on foreign social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and INS.

Xu Xing was released first, with the word "first" in the introduction, and the song "Love Yourself" was also mentioned.

Chris Wu was released after Xu Xing and did not have first."

It's obvious.

Chris Wu is a despicable person. He snatched the ranking from Li Yifeng, Liu Yifei and Han Geng, and even made Han Geng so angry that he quit the movie promotions. Now he is snatching Xu Xing's first signing!

He even went to lick the foreigners' ass to get the first sign!

They even want to take advantage of the information gap to fabricate rumors in the country!

What kind of idiots are still following this kind of garbage???

Xing Baozhen didn’t even brag about this fact in the country when he was the first to sign the contract, so who is still blaming Xing Bao for having ranking cancer?
The baby's breath is as powerful as a rainbow.

The team finally got something serious done!

Then allow Liu Cheng’s biological mother to be resurrected for two days!
Megan was slapped in the face and was heartbroken.

Mr. Wu has been persecuted again by the lucky beast using his background!
The haters of each group fled in all directions.

It’s self-evident!

Cleaners clean themselves!
……

"Crack~"

"boom!"

"Boom!"

Chris Wu pushed everything on the table to the ground and punched and kicked the table.

I traveled across the ocean to my hometown’s neighboring country, and it was agreed that I would be the first Chinese to sign a contract. But after I finished drinking the champagne and checked Weibo, I found out that Xu Xing had become the first signed person?
"This idiot Xu Xing is such a big idiot! Why did he sign the contract first???

“F**k!!!!”
