The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 145: Three Lives, Three Worlds begins broadcasting

After entering the door.

Yu Murong took the gift that Xu Xing brought, and watched Xu Xing change his shoes and take off his coat and hang it up with a smile.

Qu Mingzhen behind her also smiled and gave her a compliment.

"Xiao Xing's figure is getting better and better."

Yu Murong also nodded.

“I will also keep exercising every day.”

"Did you see Sister Rong and Sister Zhen arguing just now?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Xu Xing made a joke.

"how is this possible?"

Qu Mingzhen said angrily first.

Unexpectedly, Yu Murong nodded again.

"Yes."

"Forehead……"

Xu Xing felt a little embarrassed.

"I just wanted to introduce you to a girlfriend, but Murong wouldn't let me."

Qu Mingzhen was both innocent and helpless.

"Then we need to introduce someone who can live a normal life."

Yu Murong rolled his eyes at her.

"Are you asking Xiao Xing if she is willing to get married so early?"

Qu Mingzhen pursed his lips.

They both looked at Xu Xing.

“…There’s really no need to get married early.”

Xu Xing said cautiously.

Yu Murong gave Xu Xing an ambiguous look, then got up and went to the kitchen.

Qu Mingzhen's eyes became cunning, and he moved closer to Xu Xing and complained in a low voice.

"She said before that she wanted you to date, right? Now I want to introduce her to someone, but she's not very happy about it."

"..."

It’s hard to comment on Xu Xing.

But judging from Yu Murong's attitude, the girl Qu Mingzhen wanted to introduce was definitely not a good and decent girl.

Just as Qu Ming was about to continue talking about something, Yu Murong came out to inform them that it was time for dinner.

After a simple meal, we watched the Spring Festival Gala together for a while.

When the three little members of Tboys came on stage during the opening show, Yu Murong complained that the Spring Festival Gala was becoming uglier and uglier.

Qu Mingzhen said that they have been trying to find ways to reform internally, but have not been very successful.

Then she asked Xu Xing, who was sitting between the two of them and peeling a pomelo for them, if she had time to participate in the Spring Festival Gala next year, as the station had asked her several times.

Xu Xing said yes.

Qu Mingzhen said that she and Yu Murong would watch the show together in the audience next year.

Then Yu Murong brought the topic of conversation to Xu Xing's career development.

There are songs released in the United States, friction with Chris Wu, the upcoming recording of "The Rap of China", and "Eternal Love" which will be aired on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

"This time, Leshi originally wanted to buy your drama for exclusive broadcast, but I heard that their situation might not be very good and their cash flow is very tight."

“I also heard that they are discussing a new round of financing, but with Leshi’s current size, this round will be difficult to complete.”

"It seems that we are discussing building a factory with Guangdong City. As long as the documents are approved, we should be able to survive."

"It's difficult."

The two of them were talking back and forth, and Xu Xing didn't know how long Accountant Jia could keep his promises.

Now Leshi has lasted two months longer than the previous bankruptcy, and has also defrauded more money.

Just thinking about it.

"Xiao Xing, have you been playing with the ball?"

Yu Murong asked suddenly.

"..."

Xu Xing was about to nod.

Yu Murong continued speaking.

"I wanted to ask you after the European Cup ended last year, was it you who told Chen Dulin that Portugal would be the champion again?
“Although your current development is very good, you probably won’t make that much money. You invested 2 million in Wolf Warrior 2000 before, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.

"But this time you want to invest 5000 million in The Wandering Earth. Where did you get so much money? The finance department heard from Liu Cheng that the money coming in from Hong Kong was what I left for you in the United States.

"This time the investment is so huge and the bills have to be paid at the end of the year, so she came to ask me about the details. That's when I realized there was such a thing."

At the end, Yu Murong's expression became stern again.

Qu Mingzhen on the other side also had a look of surprise on his face.

Xu Xing confessed everything.

I was going to talk about it when I had the chance.

The most crucial thing is the 2 million yuan from "Wolf Warrior 2000". It is impossible for such a large amount of overseas funds to enter the country without leaving any traces.

"My original capital was only the 10 yuan that Sister Rong gave me at the time, and I never invested more money. The agency in Hongcheng has all the operation records. Sister Rong can go and take a look. I am just lucky and I have earned more than I lost.

“It’s mainly because Leicester City got lucky. If I had lost all the 10 in the beginning, I would not have played. After withdrawing the 2000 million, there was not much money left. It was mainly some Bitcoins.

"The 5000 million from The Wandering Earth didn't come all at once. The final payment will be at the end of the year. This time it's all the money I made as an artist. I made 6000 million from just five episodes of The Rap of China. It's no problem for me to make 5000 million this year."

Xu Xing finished speaking as calmly as possible.

“1200 million per issue!”

Qu Mingzhen was the first to exclaim in amazement.

Liu Cheng hasn't reported to her yet.

Mr. Qu was familiar with the pay for variety shows, and Xu Xing's price was really scary.

"lucky……"

Yu Murong murmured.

"That's why I have such a good sister like you!"

Xu Xing immediately said in a cheesy way.

"Pfft~"

Qu Mingzhen laughed so hard that his whole body shook.

"..." Yu Murong was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Can you be more natural?"

Finally, the joke was over.

Yu Murong had no choice but to remind Xu Xing that he must tell her about those things in the future. There were many legal issues that needed to be avoided. Xu Xing's celebrity status was also particularly sensitive, and the agent she found was not very reliable. After the New Year, she immediately flew to Hong Kong City to help Xu Xing deal with it.

Xu Xing was so moved that he hugged Yu Murong for the first time.

Yu Murong was again at a loss whether to laugh or cry, as he was no longer in a state of utter amazement.

Although it looked natural on the surface, Xu Xing also noticed that her ears were red.

Then look back at Mr. Qu.

She glared at Xu Xing with a half-smile.

This is probably what it means to be in a happy mood.

……

It was a rare occasion that Xu Xing had no work to deal with during the Chinese New Year this year, and Yu Murong also had a proper Spring Festival holiday. Qu Mingzhen, who had always been very idle, only returned home in the afternoon of the first day of the New Year.

Therefore, Xu Xing stayed here for several days to develop a good relationship with the family.

We ate together, exercised, chatted, watched TV series and movies, played King of Glory with them, found a guitar and sang in the sun on the balcony, and watched Xu Xing write a script...

On the first night of the new year, the three of them went to watch "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons Strike Back" fully armed. They lasted 15 minutes and then went out to watch "The Mermaid".

It was indeed a joyful occasion.

After the contact, Xu Xing had a better understanding of how Yu Murong and Qu Mingzhen get along with each other, as well as their personalities and life hobbies.

The biggest gain is that Yu Murong and Qu Mingzhen no longer try to act like elders, to the point of being overly polite and distant.

It's the older sister. After all, both of them are actually quite young in their mentality.

Ms. Qu is quite naughty. The dignified and intellectual look she showed when I first saw her was probably just her working state.

As for Yu Murong, Xu Xing felt that she would become more gentle when she and Qu Mingzhen appeared in front of him at the same time, but now it seems that Yu Murong is not the gentle type by nature.

I don’t know if it’s because Yu Murong is more meticulous in life and Qu Mingzhen is more casual.

So Xu Xing also took the time to ask Mr. Qu directly:
"Is it Sister Rong who pursued you?"

Mr. Qu smiled but said nothing.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the three of them watched the official broadcast of "Three Lives Three Worlds" together.

2016 was a year of great failure in IP development. Whether it was TV or movies, big IPs failed one after another.

Although nearly half of the top ten ratings are IP dramas, their reputations are mediocre, and they basically start high and end low.

Instead, small IPs such as "Ode to Joy", "Duds", and "Soul Mate" have achieved success.

Xu Xing's "Love O2O" stands out among the many flops.

"Three Lives Three Worlds" is the first IP drama of 2017. Xu Xing, the undisputed top star after becoming famous in the United States with "Love Yourself", is collaborating with Yang Mi, a top female star who has continuously produced hit TV dramas. The audience and fans have been looking forward to it for more than half a year.

As the big drama "The Princess Weiyoung" at the beginning of the year caused a huge death among the audience and was complained by the whole network, the industry is more looking forward to boosting the market's confidence in IP dramas.

This time, Huace sold "Three Lives Three Worlds" to two satellite TV stations, Dragon TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

The online broadcasting platforms are Youku, Penguin, Kiwi, Leshi, Sohu, and PPTV, with distribution across the entire network and simultaneous broadcasting on six platforms.

Therefore, the previous launch conference would be broadcast live throughout and was held in an extremely grand manner.

Before the show even started, Youku booked Beijing Metro Line 4 and transformed it into a peach blossom train, and also laid out large outdoor advertisements in airports, subways and other places in the top ten cities.

The TV series' opening song "Three Lives Three Worlds" and ending song "Liang Liang" also jumped into the top three of the hot song list as soon as they were released.

——The other one is "love yourself".

The three-dimensional promotion and publicity online and offline is no less impressive than the films released during the Spring Festival.

"I hope it can be filmed well. I read the novel before, but I couldn't finish it."

Qu Mingzhen, who was half lying on the sofa, smiled and stretched out his long legs to place them on the thighs of Yu Murong who was sitting upright.

"Pay attention to your image!" Yu Murong frowned and pushed her legs down, and complained, "You don't wear socks either."

"Help me put it on."

Qu Mingzhen playfully shook her delicate and white little feet.

Yu Murong bit her lip, stood up and found a wide scarf, wrapped Qu Mingzhen's feet directly, and tied her legs together.

After doing all this, Yu Murong looked back and saw Xu Xing on the sofa on the other side still lowering his head and concentrating on his mobile phone, and he felt relieved.

However, Xu Xing was already impressed by Sister Murong's skillful techniques.

Qu Mingzhen, who had just looked at Xu Xing, also tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Finally the commercial is over.

The first episode is aired.

When the prelude of "Three Lives Three Worlds" sounded, a long sense of fate came over us.

“When I listen to this song, I can’t help but feel that life is too short.”

Qu Mingzhen sighed.

Yu Murong was silent.

Xu Xing also stared at the TV screen.

"Xiao Xing is so handsome!"

She praised again.

Xu Xing looked over and smiled at her.

Yu Murong also nodded.

"Ah."

The opening theme ends.

The first episode begins with Bai Qian, the youngest daughter of the Fox Emperor of Qingqiu, disguising herself as a man to become a disciple of Kunlun Xu Moyuan, using the alias Si Yin.

"Yang Mi is not as pretty as Xiao Xing."

Qu Mingzhen complained again.

"I feel so too."

Yu Murong agreed immediately.

"Dressing up as a man tests your face shape and temperament."

Xu Xing explained.

"But Xiao Xing is prettier than her even when she's dressed as a woman!"

Qu Mingzhen said again.

Yu Murong looked at Xu Xing who was scratching his head, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"should be."

Xu Xing had no choice but to continue to lower his head and reply to the messages sent on his mobile phone.

Yang Mi: [I’m still thinking about the launch meeting that day. Did Reba see it when she came to the lounge? ]

Xu Xing: [You still want to experience it. ]

Yang: [Don’t you want to?]

Yang: [You are really a resourceful person. ]

Xu Xing didn’t really want to reply to her since they couldn’t meet now.

I am about to close WeChat.

【Happy New Year! ［grin]】

Zhen Huaiwei.

Xu Xing was stunned for a moment before she remembered that this was the staff member of Xiaohongshu who claimed that her daughter and bestie were her fans.

【Happy New Year! ［grin]】

Xu Xing replied politely.

Then I clicked on her profile picture and took a look at her Moments.

It was clean, except for one post on New Year's Eve: [Watching the Spring Festival Gala alone.]

Where are her husband and daughter?

Close WeChat.

I went to Weibo and took a look, and #“Three Lives Three Worlds” is on air# was at the top of the hot search list.

There are six related hot searches in the first ten, and this is just the beginning.

In the square, people were praising Xu Xingshuai and Yang Mi for being beautiful, complaining about the boring plot, praising the excellent production, and criticizing the bad movies in the Spring Festival period and saying that the TV series were an eye wash.

——After the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the movies released during the Spring Festival were criticized. The only decent movie, "Surfing the Waves", was criticized for its songs disrespecting women before it was released.

However, Xu Xing flipped through it carefully and saw quite a few disappointing comments.

[I had a bad feeling when I watched "Love O2O" last year. After watching "Eternal Love", I couldn't help but complain: Why do you have to keep acting in idol dramas and destroy your reputation!
Can't you just follow the path of "Beginning" and "Detective Chinatown"? You are unique, why do you want to be the same as others? 】

——"Why don't you support Xing Bao acting in idol dramas? When Xing Bao was being criticized by the entire Internet, it was the idol film "Girls' Generation" that really made him popular. Last year, he was criticized for a whole year, and it was the new fans who attracted by "Love O2O" who helped us to criticize back. There are too many bitches nowadays. Xing Bao should continue to act in idol dramas to consolidate his fans and slap those bitches in the face."

——"Stop playing the role of a jinx. The fans of Eternal Love are very satisfied with the quality of the show, okay? Xing Bao performed so well in this calm role. His acting skills have improved. Only haters can't see this."

[An international superstar with the No. 12 single on the Billboard chart is starring in a shoddy fairy tale idol drama. How disjointed! ]

[Who understands the bitterness of me while I'm looping "Passionfruit" and watching "Three Lives, Three Worlds". ]

[Why does Xu Xing keep ruining herself? I heard her next drama will be an idol drama???]

[Is this the highest-quality TV series in the country? The overwhelming publicity before was just a scam! ]

[Xu Xingshi is really popular, let me tell you a ghost story, "Three Lives Three Worlds" has become a trend...]

……

Some time ago, she went abroad with Chris Wu, competing to "win glory for the country". The popularity on the entire network lasted for more than half a month, attracting the attention of many people who did not pay much attention to Xu Xing before.

In the past half month, Xu Xing has been surrounded by a halo. Not only did her songs "conquer" the United States, but her fans also boasted that "The Beginning" is as good as European and American dramas. The brainwashing package that "Xu Xing herself means high-end, classy and classy" has been spread.

Now, many people who paid attention to Xu Xing after being brainwashed are dissatisfied with "Three Lives Three Worlds".

After joining forces with Xu Xing's black fans, it seemed that they had quite a strong presence for a while.
