The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 140 Why???
"We should have released it a day earlier than he did."

Chris Wu put his phone in his pocket and leaned back.

He has calmed down now.

On the surface.

Penguin Video has been in contact with us, they just had the idea.

The only thing we can count on is still Kiwi’s “The Rap of China”.

He was very clear about Xiao G Na's current situation and knew how important this variety show was to him, so he hastily spent money to hire European and American producers to make an album in advance. He also started dieting, getting injections, and doing medical beauty treatments.

Everyone who sees him says that he is now at the peak of his appearance.

The show was aired and it became a huge hit, winning everything back with his face.

But why did Xu Xing choose this hip-hop variety show first...

The only person he couldn't compete with was Xu Xing, who had never released a rap song before.

He now had a subtle sense of fatalism.

At this time last year, his Weibo King title was snatched away by Xu Xing, and this year's most crucial variety show opportunity was snatched away again.

It’s obvious that Xu Xing couldn’t make her debut in SM.

"It's a disadvantage to release it first. We'll release it tomorrow. We can cover all his current records," his agent Feng Meng consoled with a smile, "Isn't that all he knows? He's stepping on the marketing hype. We'll step on him tomorrow."

However, Feng Meng was far from being so optimistic.

"July" was released after "Love Yourself" and was arranged by the record label Interscope because they wanted to give all the advertising resources on YouTube, Spotify and other places to Xu Xing's "Love Yourself".

And July...

"Do you really want to promote this song in the United States? It would be wiser to postpone it for a month and wait until your Chinese singer has tested the waters in the market first."

That's what they say.

In other words, there was no plan to promote "July" in the United States from the beginning. The idea was to release the entire album to increase downloads rather than promote a single song.

The team has always been following the route of converting exports to domestic sales, making a name for themselves in China, taking advantage of information asymmetry, and then bragging about their status when returning to China.

The Chinese entertainment industry is like this.

But what was unexpected was that Xu Xing was actually going to enter the American music market.

If we had known that brushing the annual charts on YouTube would attract so much attention from the label, the team would have arranged for fans to brush it long ago.

I thought Xu Xing was just going back to China to brag...

As a result, he is now under the command of General Xu Xing.

I have to admit that Xu Xing's team is amazing. They have always focused on expanding their international influence.

After her debut movie "Our Girlhood" became a huge hit in Southeast Asia, she has maintained her influence in Southeast Asia. She also buys local hot searches from time to time and has even been thinking about expanding to other regions.

——Feng Meng only recently found out that there is a subtitle group among Xu Xing’s fans. They have been translating Xu Xing’s TV series and movies into other languages and promoting them around the world.

Yes, Chris Wu often goes to Europe and the United States to participate in fashion weeks, celebrity competitions, and join Hollywood movies... taking the upper-class route to obtain resources to market to international superstars.

However, Xu Xing's choice was to take the lower class route.

It seems that he has always been staying in the country, but if you go out and ask, you will find that there are many more ordinary people who know Xu Xing than Chris Wu.

"Love Yourself" is the embodiment of the results. Next, he will consolidate and expand step by step, widening the distance between him and Chris Wu.

The industry is not optimistic about the completion of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons 2", and "Old Cannon" seems to be a flash in the pan...

"The Rap of China" was also cut off in advance.

Xu Xing's brief withdrawal seemed more like a mockery.

What’s the next step?
It seems that we can only hope that this album and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back" will become a miraculous hit.

If none of them succeed... I can only advise Chris Wu to be open-minded and be happy.

get off.

"They'll be here in a minute."

Feng Meng asked Chris Wu to enter the room first.

Waited about ten minutes.

Zhen Wei got out of the car with several girls.

Two minutes later, she saw Chris Wu, who had a charming smile and was extremely handsome, in the room.

He stood in front of the bar in a cool manner and said with a smile.

"Thank you for coming today. Thank you for always supporting me. Many times when I was about to give up, it was thinking of you that kept me going."

When he talked about his feelings, his eyes turned red.

Zhen Wei could feel that the girls around her were breathing faster.

This is the irresistible charm that idols exude in front of fans, making fans unable to control the feeling that they are only looking at themselves in the crowd, smiling at themselves, and crying because of themselves.

Zhen Wei felt her eyes getting moist.

When she came to her senses again, the agent came over and touched her shoulder, smiling gently.

"What are you staring at? Brother Qian is going to play a little game with everyone. In order to avoid spoiling the fun, your phone——"

The cell phone just happened to ring.

Zhen Wei awkwardly took out her cell phone from her bag and indicated that she wanted to answer the call.

After the call, she told her agent that her mother was in the hospital and she had to go back.

……

In the end, the download volume of "Love Yourself" stopped after exceeding 3.

Because the Big Fan Alliance finally accepted Sun Man’s statement that they should retain their strength in case Chris Wu steals the house tomorrow.

Xu Xing also heard the good news from her agent Kristen in the United States.

She told Xu Xing excitedly on the phone:

Your fans are so awesome. You're really going to be a big hit in the U.S. Your fans love this song so much. Although it hasn't been aired yet and radio stations may not be interested in it, with strong download and streaming volumes, it's very likely to hit the TOP 20 next week.

After all, the single has only been online for less than six hours, and its playback performance is only average compared to those popular singles.

The iTunes download volume can be purchased by one account, but it also depends on how much Billboard will eventually count.

Spotify's playback volume really needs to be turned on a raging machine to be able to keep up.

This is not like inflating the world views on YouTube. There are many Southeast Asian fans who help to inflate the views on YouTube, and the machine is also very mature.

The reason why Scooter helped BTS to register so smoothly in his previous life was because he was a shareholder of Spotify.

Xu Xing can only buy ads and list traffic for the time being. So the agent's top 20 is just a nice talk.

Finally, the agent told Xu Xing that she had finally persuaded Interscope to let Lady Gaga, who was under the label, help repost and recommend "Love Yourself" on social media, but the cost was $50.

Although it has been four years since the release of "Artpop", Ms. Ga is still a world-class superstar in the hearts of many people.

There is a bit of a premium, but the price is acceptable for this ad.

So at ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Xing was so annoyed that she answered the phone call from Yang Mi, and heard her exclaiming that Lady Gaga had reposted and recommended Xu Xing's single, and she talked about it for a long time in an extremely corny way.

Finally, she asked with a laugh.

"Can Reba catch her breath?"

Xu Xing hung up the phone in annoyance.

He walked over and took out Reba, who had been making all kinds of faces at herself in the bathtub, and returned to their favorite mirror again.

The second half started.

Have a great night!
……

Have a great night!
Chris Wu woke up and looked at the ceiling and sighed in his heart.

Well, not very enjoyable.

In fact, Zhen Wei, who left temporarily yesterday, was the most beautiful and the one he loved most in his heart.

But Feng Meng said her mother was in the hospital, and the little girl cried anxiously.

correct--

Chris Wu took out his cell phone and prepared to send her a WeChat message to ask about her mother's condition.

Before she left, Feng Meng added her WeChat, using the name Feng Meng.

If she knew that it was actually me who added her on WeChat, she would be so happy!

hey-hey--

[Lady Gaga forwarded and recommended Xu Xing's "Love Yourself", praising Xu Xing as a talented and unparalleled Asian musician, and the song is great——]

slap~
The phone fell on me.

The girl woke up in a daze.

Just as I was about to identify where he was, the whole person was thrown aside. The person jumped out of bed in a hurry, as if he was not even wearing clothes, and ran out, shouting:

"Mom? Mom! Mom..."

…My head hurts.

……

1 month 13 day.

The first release of the title song "July" from the first solo album of international superstar Chris Wu was released simultaneously around the world!
What made Megan the whole world overjoyed was that the video was released four hours earlier than the original scheduled time, at 4 a.m. Beijing time.

Chris Wu couldn't bear to keep Megan waiting for long, so Megan's enthusiasm naturally increased!

On the US iTunes download chart, the download volume reached 1500 million in just one hour, which is 500 times the single "Love Yourself" released a day ago by the second-place winner, who is a top-tier figure who only knows how to rub shoulders with others and does shameless marketing. He has a corrupt character and is worse than a beast, which is intolerable to all mankind!
Release the record one day in advance?

The pride of Chinese people?

Have American music platforms fully bought out their advertising?
Lady Gaga recommends?

……

Our Mr. Wu doesn’t have it!

I don't even bother to do that!

Just let the music speak!
Just rely on us Megan!

It created a miracle in the history of world music!
There are 3 million people in the United States, and on average 20 in every 1 people has downloaded Mr. Wu’s "July"!
Who else has this kind of international influence? ? ? ?

Kneel down in your good place!

King Oyster Mushroom kneels down!
Let Mr. Wu slap you hard!
Let Mr. Wu’s cannon bombard hard!

You like to call me Cannon King, right?
Are you still shouting or not? ? ?
No, Kiwi also kneels down! Che Che kneels down! Gong Yu kneels down—

"Pfft!"

Sun Man couldn't hold it any longer and threw her phone away.

I really can’t write any more.

Just click send.

When I received the call, I thought World War III was coming, but then I saw that Megan had achieved such an outrageous sales volume.

I had such a headache last night that I fell asleep thinking about how to appease the Big Fan Alliance today, but now Megan has scared them so much that they are as quiet as chickens.

It’s on the Weibo hot search list.

There was a lot of cursing in the square, and many big Vs started cursing directly, accusing Chris Wu of bringing shame to China by increasing his sales to such an outrageous level.

Those Megannies are still boasting like crazy.

Scroll down further.

…It turned out that Megan’s machine was running too hard, and the website that estimated the download volume had a bug.

If you go to overseas social media, you will see that the American people are going crazy and cursing. Everywhere you look, there is Chris Wu and Kris who?

iTunes officials will definitely clear the list!

Megan is really stupid, and now Xu Xing will be implicated as well.

After a day of fear and trepidation...

Sun Man cursed again in her heart.

……

1:13 noon, January 12th, Beijing time.

Meganes, who had been bragging so much under the online abuse, were horrified to find that "July" had disappeared from iTunes.

There was great joy on Weibo about "July" being removed from the list.

But why the fuck!
"love yourself" is still there???

　I worked hard for 6k, and I will post it first and then revise it.
