The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 144 Xu Xing will be your father
"After the song was released, the online quarrels really stopped!"

Sun Man was very happy.

"This is called Xu Xing making music, what are you doing?"

Xu Xing smiled.

"The music bloggers on the Internet have started to hype it up everywhere," said Sun Manyan, who had been staring at the screen of her mobile phone. "In fact, I used to think that many of them were paid."

"Now, using my traffic is the same as giving them money."

Xu Xing said conceitedly.

"Hmm..." Sun Man nodded. "By the way, who did you learn all those words from Minister Nanshan? He sounds like a mean and mean gay guy."

"..."

Xu Xing didn't want to pay attention to her anymore.

"Narcissistic again."

Sun Man added another sentence.

"Hurry up and go get Naza."

Xu Xing said unhappily.

……

Billboard.

【Xing Gege suddenly released a new song! 】

[Xing brother is really a great artist!
Before I even finished listening to this lovely girl, she shut up and frightened me! ]
"What? Love Yourself has become an abandoned child of me and Brother Xing? [Crying]"

"Shut up +1, can't let others take it. [Angry]"

——"Give me a bite. [crying]"

"Using the same production resources from Europe and America, what the Cannon King made is rubbish, and what Brother Xing made is a work of art!"

"How did Brother Xing write Café des Quai de Seine in the first place???"

— “This is a thank you letter from you after you fell in love with me. If you don’t love me, please don’t hurt me. [Insidious]”

"I give up! This jinx turned into a king oyster mushroom in a second!"

——"This song of Brother Xing was created by the quarrels between fans. I will continue to be a jinx and curse Brother Xing every day. [Funny]"

"I want to eat Brother Xing's big king oyster mushroom! [crying][crying][crying]"

——"Eat mine."

"I listened to it, but I didn't like it. Why do Xing's songs all have a kidney-deficiency vibe? I saw a post yesterday saying that Xing is invincible. [rolling eyes]"

——"You are just arguing with me for nothing. [Pathetic]"

"Xu Xing's team clarified that there is no plan to release a new single for the time being. It was just shared in advance for fans to listen to. Many fans abroad want to listen to his other English songs."

——"If you don't call me Brother Xing, get out of here! [Angry]"

"The American trend has reached the top, and my brother is an international superstar! [Thumbs up]"

[Are you following Brother Xing's masterpiece "Eternal Love"? 】

[Lord Mo Yuan, Prince Ye Hua, please yell at me together! ! ! ]
"Starting?"

“I never thought that there would be a day when B Bar would follow domestic fantasy dramas. [Laughing and crying]”

"The trailer is so lame, I can't eat it."

"The King Oyster Mushroom has taken over you???"

——"Change the name to King Oyster Mushroom tomorrow! [Angry]"

——"If you are not a King Oyster Mushroom, get out! [Insidious]"

……

"Uh...are we still going to release this song where we diss Xu Xing?"

"This song of his is so cool..."

"I have a Grammy producer so I can do it too!"

"The beats are all made by Xu Xing himself."

“…Change it to diss Chris Wu.”

"Actually, I'd like to know what level his normal rap is at. First he sang and then he raps melodically."

"Stop your fucking diss, you guys just want to stay in the underground forever, earning a few hundred bucks per game and barely enough to eat!"

"..."

"Gan!"

"Thank goodness, really."

"Xu Xing is your father?"

"It will be your father."

"grass!"

"Will Xu Xing really answer it?"

"I just dissed him and I won't take the call. Is it okay for a star like him to chase after people all over the world and give him money?"

……

“I gave them two options: either they pay 1100 million per episode to record 12 episodes of the entire season, but they have to finish recording the top four before May; or they pay 1200 million per episode to record five episodes, also before May.

"I also told them that Penguin's 'Son of Tomorrow' has also received this much offer. If they haven't made a decision in the next two days, you can go to 'Son of Tomorrow'.

"Then today, I just received a call and they wanted to ask you for a commitment."

Liu Cheng took a sip of tea.

"what?"

Xu Xing asked.

"They are planning to produce a domestic talent show based on the model of the South Korean idol talent show Produce 101. They want you to promise to join that variety show, and then agree to pay us 1200 million to record five episodes. Penguin also has this idea, and they want to compete with Penguin for talent in advance."

"How about the pay?"

"They haven't decided how many episodes to produce yet, so they want us to promise to offer the same salary as Penguin and choose them. I think we can agree to it."

Liu Cheng expressed his thoughts.

After all, "The Next Generation of Idols" can't actually give that much, and they can't give 1100 million per episode to record a whole season of "The Rap of China" for the time being. Although Xu Xing has the influence of investment promotion, what will happen after giving it now?
What about other variety shows on the platform?
1200 million in five phases is a more economical and affordable option for both parties.

This single-episode pay is already double that of other first-line stars.

Xu Xing nodded.

"so be it."

In terms of popularity, "Idol Producer" is far inferior to the truly popular "Produce 101", but male idols are more popular than female idols. Xu Xing was originally planning to join this variety show to help Mr. Qu's Zhengrong Entertainment to produce a top star.

"The remuneration is required to be kept strictly confidential."

Xu Xing mentioned it again.

Now I don’t need to brag about my salary.

It took at most two days to record one episode, with a daily salary of 600 million. If it were revealed, it would be more than three times more than 208 million.

"of course."

Liu Cheng shrugged.

Although the sky-high pay mentioned by CCTV is for TV dramas, it may soon also mention variety shows.

"I heard that Chris Wu's team is negotiating with Penguin for an electronic music variety show. It may be finalized in a while. Chris Wu seems to have started learning to DJ."

Liu Cheng mentioned it again.

Xu Xing also shrugged.

"Let him be."

"He will continue to participate in the Masters Tournament as well."

"Oh."

……

1 month 25 day.

The launch conference of "Three Lives Three Worlds".

"I heard that your song might win the championship this week?"

Yang Mi asked Xu Xing beside him in a low voice.

"no way."

Xu Xing moved aside a little and didn't let her get close to his body.

"Love Yourself" has been sent to radio stations this week, but radio DJs are still not interested and are reluctant to play this song.

Radio stations are a closed, small circle where discrimination is most severe and cannot be broken up even with money, so Xu Xing was too lazy to go to radio stations to promote his songs like Chris Wu did and went straight back to China.

It just made Interscope buy a radio contract, which was better than nothing, and put it in the playlist. DJs can play it or not.

Although Xu Xing's fan club has begun organizing fans studying in the United States to call the radio station and request to play "Love Yourself", it will not be of much use.

The emergence of streaming music platforms has, to a certain extent, broken the blockade controlled by radio DJs, and ordinary listeners no longer have to rely on them to feed them songs.

Although each ethnic group still has its own listening preferences, even a racist would not be able to immediately identify the singer's race when hearing a song for the first time on streaming media.

The majority of fans say they would never listen to the song, but secretly they are addicted to the drum beats, rhythm and melody, savoring the guilty pleasure over and over again.

Before the emergence of streaming music platforms, it was impossible for Asians to achieve big hits based on the Billboard chart's point calculation method.

So since the streaming volume of "love yourself" is steadily increasing, we just need to wait for the streaming to come up and then increase the download volume.

Yang Mi controlled the urge to roll her eyes.

Xu Xing's indifferent attitude is really... It doesn't matter at other times, but this is the launch conference of a TV series, and the male and female protagonists are mainly marketing their CP feeling, okay?

However, Yang Mi has always been a person who would not be affected by Xu Xing.

"I think your new song is really nice, really, um, sexy."

The sound is clamped.

"Thank you."

Xu Xing responded.

"Are you here because Reba is here? Shouldn't you guys have - uh-huh~ last night?"

Yang Mi's legs went limp and she bit her lips hard.

But he still couldn't control himself and bumped into Xu Xing.

Xu Xing, who was prepared, raised his forearm and supported her politely.

The fans in the audience were in an uproar.

Yang Mi’s fans are concerned about what happened to her sister, while Xu Xing’s fans want to yell at her and tell her to stay away from Xing Bao!

In other words, the fans of Xu Xing who came to the launch conference were all from the most obedient fan club. If fans from the alliance came, they would battle with Yang Mi fans off the court.

The other stars nearby noticed the fans' gazes and looked over.

Especially Reba, who was on the other side of Yang Mi, looked curious.

"I didn't eat, and I'm a little anemic."

With a ruddy face and moist eyes, Yang Mi explained to those around him.

Really...how can I let others know how perverted Xu Xing, a high-quality idol, is in private?
Fortunately, the host finally finished his long speech and announced the official start.

The first thing he asked was how Yang Mi felt about acting with Xu Xing and how he evaluated Xu Xing.

Originally, we should have asked Xu Xing first, after all, Xu Xing was the actual No. 1, but Teacher Yang incredibly agreed to the conditions, so Xu Xing just gave in!

But also because of this, Teacher Yang was extra cautious today and did not cause any trouble.

"The experience is..." Teacher Yang held the microphone tightly and thought, "His acting skills are very good, and he is also very energetic. His explosive power when acting is also very strong, and he can maintain the state for a long time. Many times, I was out of the role after filming, but he was still in the state. He is really an amazing young actor."

Then he asked Xu Xing.

"I think Ms. Yang is an actor who is particularly impressive. I learned from her that as long as you are passionate about something, you can do anything. As long as you work hard to explore, you will definitely be able to develop your deepest potential. What impressed me most was probably the speed with which she could get into the role. It seemed like she could get into the state at any time."

The journalists in the front row couldn't help but have strange thoughts:
Are these two people being disrespectful to their seniors and being old-timers?

……

1 month 28 day.

On New Year's Eve, Xu Xing finally met his dearest sister Yu Murong again.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year. She looks thinner and her face has become colder and sharper. She finally looks like a legal practitioner.

However, after seeing Xu Xing, she immediately smiled sweetly and entered gentle mode.

Xu Xing was relieved as it seemed that Mr. Qu really did not tell tales.

……

In Zhen Wei's room.

For the first time, she did not go to watch the Spring Festival Gala, but instead curled up in bed, staring at WeChat on her phone.

【Happy New Year! I am Chris Wu, is there any surprise? 】

　Next weekend it's really just 4k.

　　Thanks to ameth for the monthly ticket! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation tickets and subscriptions!
