The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 141 Who is brushing noblely and who is brushing meanly?
January 1th, 14: a.m., Beijing time.

【Why?
Xu Xing speaks with songs, but Cannon King only lets his fans post comments.

Last year, many American music bloggers recommended the treasure single "Love Yourself" and have been looking forward to the song being officially released in the United States.

Pitchfork's music review also gave "Love Yourself" a score of 6.

There are many American media outlets that have reported on Xu Xing, providing detailed coverage of everything from his school experiences in the United States to his achievements in China.

……

Xu Xing is working hard to expand the American market and is doing publicity seriously.

The King of Cannons is just asking his fans to top the iTunes download charts. He is holding Xu Xing back and stigmatizing Chinese musicians.

Fortunately, "Love Yourself" was not implicated.

...]

Clap!

Throw the phone down hard!
Trash fans!!!!
Chris Wu feels really screwed!

When Xu Xing first debuted, she had very few fans, so they couldn't beat Xu Xing's fans.

And he often does such stupid things!

Xu Xing demonstrated it clearly yesterday, 8000 per hour, and the number of downloads could be increased slowly over a few hours. The official wouldn't say anything?
As a result, they just turned on the machine and spent 4 in an hour!

Being lazy and slacking off!

Love leisure and hate work!
Xu Xing’s fans can purchase and download the products one by one through their own accounts, but they just use software to do it!

I don't even want to move my hands!

What a joke!

F**king LAZY!!!
F**k!!!

"Brother Qian, don't be angry. I called you. It's just a website bug. July is not counted for the time being. iTunes will show it again soon. We all paid for the download. We are consumers. US law will not allow them to swallow our orders."

Feng Meng, who had hurriedly finished her phone call, came over to comfort her.

“…will it be put back on the shelves?”

Chris Wu, who was angry just now, was immediately overjoyed.

"We haven't removed it from the shelves, we just don't display it for the time being."

Feng Meng continued to explain.

"Then our download volume must have surpassed Xu Xing's! Didn't they say it was 4?"

Chris Wu asked.

"Yes." Feng Meng nodded, "Now Xu Xing's fans are scared and dare not continue to post."

"That's good," Chris Wu said, and repeated, "That's good."

Then he raised his head and smiled at Feng Meng.

Feng Meng also laughed.

"Now the Internet is full of Xu Xing's online trolls. Yesterday, many people complained about him cheating on the charts. Mr. Chen's intention is that we should promote the same thing that Xu Xing did as we did."

Since Little G Na, the industry’s super publicist Chen Lizhi has been working closely with Chris Wu’s team.

"Hmm!" Chris Wu pounded his palm with his fist, his brain churning rapidly, "I think we should also buy Spotify's recommendation list and YouTube ads. Our downloads are higher than his, and the difference in play volume is not much. Radio - by the way, you said before that Interscope will only give Xu Xing a radio station next week?"

Feng Meng nodded.

"Then let's start from this week! We can get the radio resources this week! As long as the radio station performs well, "July" will be popular immediately! Book me a flight, I will return to the United States immediately!"

Chris Wu felt that his ambition was stronger than ever before.

My fighting spirit is even stronger than when I was a trainee or when I just returned to China!

He remembered a little more.

"Let's release the album this week! With the album's support, July will definitely perform better!"

……

Xu Xing Fan Club.

"How much funds do they have left in the alliance now?"

"It's almost all gone. The data they calculated is very rough, and the downloads in many countries are exaggerated. Now "Love Yourself" has topped the list in 47 countries, so it's more or less useful. But they are preparing to start a new crowdfunding."

"I will continue to use the fan club's account to scold them for raising funds."

"Well, what about the Cannon King?"

"I think the maximum for July is 8. I just got the news from the King of Cannons that his album will be released ahead of schedule. His funds will definitely be used to boost the album sales. There is also the movie Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back, which will cost money for booking theaters. The 300 million raised by Sister Niu in the first wave of fundraising some time ago was very difficult.

"Her family's new crowdfunding originally only had 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but it was suddenly filled up just now. They said in the group that a rich woman gave some pocket money, but I strongly suspect that it was the rich man who started to pay out of his own pocket."

"The first wave of fundraising should have been all from the Porn King. I strongly suspect that those who are still throwing money at the Porn King are probably throwing money at prostitutes."

"Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"The King of Cannons doesn't have much money now. He spent a year looking for a PR agent to clean up his act last year, and hired a big-name producer from Europe and the United States to make his album. He should have spent most of the money he earned in the two years since returning to China."

"I think so too, but the question now is, how many downloads will be cut from the B chart in the end?"

"Let's assume it's cut by half. July will definitely not be cut less than Love Yourself."

"But what if? What's the studio saying now? They said they'd make a big push next week, but what if we're surpassed by the Cannon King this week?"

“We’re going to make 20 this week?”

“That’s for next week.”

“Can Cannon King’s “July” make it into the top 50?”

"In a dream."

"Then let's estimate based on the 50th point. The streaming volume was 300 million on the first day, which is a good momentum. I think we can calculate it as 2000 million in the first week. After filtering, it should be more than 1200 million. Anyway, let the alliance do the work first. After they've done their work, we'll make up for the difference."

"can."

"The stars will eventually..."

“Turn the night into day!!!”

"Lucky is the sun. He has risen from the horizon to the sky. Now the day has come."

"Xingbao! [crying]"

"Lucky treasure!!! [crying][crying][crying]"

…Oracle Arena.

"Let us welcome the superstar from China, Xuxing!!!"

Xu Xing, who was sitting in the audience, smiled and waved, appearing on the big screen.

The scene was noisy.

The other audience members didn't know or care who this unknown person was.

But the next moment.

The whole audience burst into cheers.

Because a short video of a player wearing a Curry jersey and making three consecutive three-point shots was played on the big screen, with no signs of splicing at all.

It was indeed not spliced together, but after Xu Xing made three consecutive shots, he missed six in a row, which made Curry, who was filming an interactive video with Xu Xing next to him, laugh.

When he scored three goals in a row, even though they were fixed-point shots, he still thought Xu Xing was really an amateur master.

"Next, his latest single, 'Love Yourself'!"

The DJ on the scene was shouting very hard.

For a team like the Warriors that just won the championship and is making rapid progress in commercial development, expanding its influence in China, the second largest market in the NBA, is crucial.

The team contacted us many times and tried various ways to promote the cooperation, so naturally the treatment was very good.

Not only did they officially announce the team's promotion ambassador in advance (all platforms, not exclusively for Weibo), they also shot a series of interactive videos with Curry. Tomorrow Curry will also recommend "Love Yourself" on social media.

I won’t mention things like giving away signed jerseys or taking photos with the whole team.

In comparison, the audience was more excited when "Love Yourself" was played.

Although this song is not electronic dance music and is relatively flat overall, the drum beats and rhythm are very comfortable to listen to.

When the song was playing, the audience was cut to the big screen and some were swaying their bodies to the rhythm and lip syncing with a look of ecstasy on their faces.

Kristin, Xu Xing's agent, leaned over and smiled.

"See, I told you, a lot of people like this song. Top 20!"

So Xu Xing feels that his agent is very capable.

Even small details like this have been arranged.

……

“Chris Wu announced that the album release date has been moved up.”

On the way back to the hotel, Sun Man told Xu Xing.

"Does he really want to improve his grades?"

Xu Xing smiled.

Just before saying goodbye to Kristin, she received a call telling Xu Xing that Interscope informed her that Kristin was going to promote on the radio and wanted to buy advertisements and listings.

"I am using the salary from The Rap of China to cover the promotion cost of Love Yourself. What does he rely on?"

Xu Xing added another complaint.

Not to mention the difference in level between "Love Yourself" and "July".

In fact, the production level of "July" is not bad, but Chris Wu's vocal performance is really disastrous.

His voice is very hollow and rough, which means that it can neither sound hollow nor rough enough to convey texture.

It just sounds harsh.

Although Xu Xing is described as having a white voice, it is a nice white voice, referring only to singing skills without any technique. Many music critics point out that Xu Xing's voice has a pop texture.

"Prostitution money."

Sun Man said.

Xu Xing looked at her.

“That’s what your fans say.”

Sun Man's innocent statement.

……

1 month 17 day.

Hot search on Weibo.

#Chris Wu's "Antares" is released#
#iTunes has been contracted by Chris Wu#
#《July》PK《love yourself》#
#Chinese musicians conquer America#
#The latest trailer of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"#
……

The hot search for a TV series looks a bit glaring in the middle, but it is still quite comfortable overall.

Chris Wu's mother came over and hugged him while he was in a trance.

"The album has sold 40 copies. Next week's number one on the Top 200 Albums Chart is yours. Sign up. You've worked hard. You're awesome!"

Chris Wu came back to his senses and smiled at his mother who leaned her head on him.

He is very grateful to his mother.

When his agent and other members of the team were against spending too much money in the United States to market and promote "July" and "Antares", they firmly supported him and allowed him to give it his all.

At least, the first top 200 album chart was won.

“Look at this picture I just took.”

Feng Meng came over with a smile and showed them the moment of the mother and son smiling and cuddling that she had captured when she came in.

Look at the photo.

Chris Wu once again felt emotional:
She is better than Xu Xing in one respect, and she is the mother he will never have again.

……

Douban Group 8.

[Is the Cannon King the person who is scolded the most both at home and abroad? 】

[I’m really going crazy with this.]

No matter how much people curse on Weibo, complain on Instagram and Twitter, it still can't stop the King of Cannons from rising to the sky.

It's unlucky that Kumigusa was scolded along with him! ]
"Here we go again, there are so many people cursing at Xing Chu, even I, the jinx, can't stand it anymore. [rolling eyes]"

"How did they sink together? They are all swiping. Who is swiping noble and who is despicable? Does King Oyster Mushroom really think that "Love Yourself" can be downloaded more than 18 times in the United States?"

——"Love yourself" is noble, "July" is despicable. Xu Xing is noble, and the King of Cannons is despicable. Are you angry? Sister Niu.
