The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 164: Forced Double Pride
The second round of 60s rap is also a last chance for some famous rappers who have not signed a satisfactory agreement with the program team.

The performance in the previous life where the singer started speaking only after the 30-second accompaniment was repeated again and was eliminated again.

After all, this round is really easy, and it is easy for those with connections to fool them.

I recorded for 6 hours, completed the 60-second assessment, then took a short break for half an hour and started recording the freestyle assessment.

Xu Xing gave a very simple theme - basketball.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard Xu Xing tried, she still couldn't hold back her smile and could only raise her hand to cover it up.

Ugh!
Rapping is really much more awkward than being tone-deaf and out of tune.

Even if you sing out of tune, at least the lyrics are correct.

As for freestyle, even in those embarrassing moments when your mind is completely blank, you still have to force out words you don't even know what they are, and you have to put on a particularly domineering aura.

It's really hard to stretch.

The embarrassment of dancing with uncoordinated limbs is on the same level as that of a gorilla beating a dog.

The ultimate embarrassment blended with the ultimate sense of conviction.

So it's really rude to laugh at this time.

Respect to all who work hard!
But the disaster still spread violently.

Of the 46 contestants, only half made it into the production team's edited version for broadcast. Of those, nearly half had only a few barely acceptable lines, or were simply there to serve as jokes to amuse the audience.

Freestyle is like this. Inexperienced new rappers can only rack their brains to come up with lyrics that are so awkward that they want to give up their rap career, while old school rappers have already used the lyrics they have accumulated before to their heart's content.

Secondly, the advantage of being a big star is that you never have to be tested by freestyle. If you have to freestyle, you must have already got the theme and prepared the lyrics in advance.

——So Xu Xing also went to record a post-interview.

"In fact, the level of freestyle does not determine whether you can become a good rapper. The most important thing for a rapper is the work he presents to the audience. So I hope that the contestants who don't perform well in freestyle should not lose confidence. Keep going!"

The Freestyle assessment recording is over, 6 contestants are eliminated, and the top 40 of the show are decided.

Then after drawing the lots for the next round of 1VS1 battle, it was already late at night.

Xu Xing didn't eat any more and took a bus out of the park.

The next time we record will be in April.

This round of battle is in the form of a two-person collaborative stage, which takes a longer time, allowing more time to write lyrics, and they can also work together to create better works for the audience.

……

Before going to the United States to prepare for the promotion of "Shape of You", Xu Xing once again participated in the script reading of "The Wandering Earth".

Before the film officially started shooting, the script, which was said to be finalized, was still being adjusted.

For example, give Xu Xing more roles.

But in the end it all depends on how much of the film's cost can be saved.

Zhao Jinmai did not attend the script reading this time.

He said he was very busy with his homework.

Maybe it's really busy.

After all, she mainly plays opposite Xu Xing.

Xu Xing coordinated the schedule and put his scene first, so Zhao Jinmai, who was in middle school, had to take a leave after filming started.

So you should learn more before you start.

Xu Xing also gave Liu Cheng some advice, suggesting that he hire a tutor for Zhao Jinmai in the crew and make sure she doesn't fall behind in her studies.

"…Just concentrate on your work."

Liu Cheng felt that Xu Xing was a little too enthusiastic.

But in fact, Xu Xing really felt a little guilty, because he could have waited until summer vacation to join the group.

……

Then Xu Xing also organized the first reading of "Want to See You".

The female lead was finally confirmed to be Li Qin.

Teacher Ni Ni’s salary is too high, so there is no need for her for the time being, and this script is not attractive to her either.

The film he is going to shoot during this period is "The Rise of Phoenixes". Not only his partner seems to be a very high-class teacher, Chen Kun, but the most important thing is that he is paid 9800 million yuan!

If it were Xu Xing, he would also earn 9800 million.

For an actor who can earn 9800 million from one drama, does he need a hit like "Want to See You"?
Ms. Li Qin’s pay is 20 yuan per episode, so 260 million yuan is enough.

In addition to the female lead Li Qin and the second male lead Liu Haoran, those who participated in the script reading also included Teacher Tong who took the initiative to make a guest appearance. I chatted with Teacher Tong from time to time, and now they have a pretty good relationship as neighbors.

The director was confirmed to be Liu Chang, who previously directed Liu Haoran's campus drama "The Best of Us".

Mr. Qu originally wanted to invite director Chen Yushan, with whom Xu Xing had worked before, but Xu Xing did not agree.

Director Chen can only shoot idol dramas from the island provinces. "Want to See You" has already been localized.

After the reading session, Xu Xing gave Teacher Tong a ride home.

In the car, Teacher Tong said that she originally didn't want to make a cameo appearance in the movie "Detective Chinatown 2", but she recently found out that the script was actually written by Xu Xing, so she had to act in it.

Teacher Tong really... makes Xu Xing very embarrassed.

……

3 month 18 day.

Xu Xing boarded a plane to the United States to prepare for the official release of "Shape of You".

Now on the Billboard Hot 16, Xu Xing's "Love Yourself" is still at No. 38, while "Passionfruit" has slipped to No. .

After the release of two songs, Xu Xing's fame in the United States is now steadily spreading.

Last week, Xu Xing's fan club did a special statistics. After deducting the downloads from Xu Xing's Chinese fans, 3200 and 1300 downloads of the two songs came from the United States respectively.

In the era of streaming media, Xu Xing, like those one-hit-wonder singers in other countries, temporarily has a small audience.

The mission of "Shape of you" is to expand the market.

It's really a coincidence.

Xu Xing happened to meet teacher Zhang Junning again on the plane.

This time, Xu Xing just smiled at her and exchanged a brief greeting on WeChat. She did not ask Sun Man to change seats with her.

However, Teacher Zhang still gave a very decent explanation.

【Hua Chenyu is also on the plane. [Shh]】

Xu: [Do you still know him? ]

Zhang: [I don’t know him. [Covering his mouth and laughing]]

Xu: [[pouts]] Zhang: [[smirks]]

Xu: [[Daze]]

Zhang: [[Cute]]

Xu: [[Sweating]]

Zhang: [[Hug]]

Teacher Zhang is really...

Xu Xing didn’t comment.

Otherwise it would seem like Xu Xing was enjoying it.

Ha ha.

Xu: [[Hug]]

……

When getting off the plane, Xu Xing met Hua Chenyu.

She dyed her hair very blonde and wore sunglasses, as if she was trying to look like an artist.

He held his head high, so he should not have missed Xu Xing.

then……

Xu Xing met enthusiastic fans who came to pick her up at the airport.

Huachen language.

Those fans who were shouting and holding signs surrounded him as he just walked forward coolly, attracting many people around to look over and take pictures.

Some held up their mobile phones, and some held professional cameras.

Zhang: [Big star [covering his mouth and laughing].]

As soon as I got in the car, I received a WeChat message from Teacher Zhang.

She had asked, just like Teacher Qin did last time, if there was anyone to pick up Xu Xing at the airport. After getting a positive answer, she suggested that Xu Xing give her a ride.

However, Xu Xing mentioned the previous airport scandal and refused.

Xu: [Yes.]

Reply to the past.

Hua Chenyu did have some friction with Xu Xing's fans, but it was a friction that Xu Xing's fans were too lazy to fight over.

When Xu Xingfa's only songs were "It's a pity there is no if" and "Confession Balloon", Martians (the name of Hua Chenyu's fans) thought that the album "Quasimodo's Gift" was the most impressive.

There is nothing surprising about Xu Xing appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, after all, Huahua already did it in 2014.

Both of them debuted as singers, but Huahua was the champion of a legitimate singing talent show.

The two of them are simply not on the same level.

This was indeed the case. At that time, Xu Xing's route was very clear. He directly tied up Lu Wu and didn't even bother to attract Hua Chenyu's hatred.

Xu Xing has never marketed any new singers and has always followed the top-tier route.

The marketing for those new singers was basically done by the Huachenyu team. Seeing that Xu Xing was getting a lot of attention from the two top stars, they specifically pulled Xu Xing out to step on him, and indirectly took advantage of the two top stars through Xu Xing as the middleman.

His family doesn't dare to confront the top-tier families head-on.

Then, "Our Girlhood" was released and became a huge hit, and Xu Xing's outrageous speed of rise left his family far behind.

There is no need for Mantianxing to go and clean up the mess, as passers-by who dislike him will drag Xu Xing to step on him.

"Xu Xing hasn't played many hit songs yet, but you've already played one? [Question]"

However, the essence of bundling hype is not to be confident that you are definitely better than both of them like Xu Xing bundled Lu and Wu, but to bundle and promote.

Therefore, after the release of the "Actor" EP, Hua Chenyu's team began to release press releases such as [Twin Stars of Post-90s Genius Musicians], forcing themselves to be the two heroes.

——That’s it. Xu Xing’s team has been pulling Lu Wu to beat him, so the marketing funds have not been used to brag about Xu Xing’s musical achievements. This is mainly because the Huachenyu team took the initiative to help brag.

Xu Xing's team didn't care much about this kind of tying up, and it was also because wherever the press release of Shuangjiao was sent, passers-by would directly help Xu Xing to curse. After so many times, Mantianxing was too lazy to give any attention.

The only place where mainstream public opinion is that Xu Xing and Hua Chenyu are the two heroes is Zhihu, which is controlled by their fans - after all, their fans are praising Xu Xing as well. Mantianxing, who is in a heated fight with other top stars, can hardly spare the energy to forcibly prove the fact that Xu Xing is superior.

Then came 2017.

"Love Yourself" topped the Billboard chart!
Shocking!

No matter how thick-skinned you are, if you want to force yourself to be the double hero, you must at least have one Billboard No. 1 single.

The subsequent album "passionfruit" was recognized by many music critics in Europe and the United States.

Both commercial performance and music reviews were great.

So, Huahua gritted his teeth and was willing to sell everything he had to try his luck in the American music scene.

The team has thoroughly studied the methods used by Xu Xing’s fans to inflate scores.

——During the Chinese New Year, a self-media outlet interviewed an anonymous member who was said to be from Xu Xing's fan club and published a long in-depth report, detailing how Xu Xing's team achieved the Billboard results. Sun Man has not yet found the traitor and strongly suspects that it is the Xstar who left.

So the outside world attributed Chris's failure to being unprepared.

is it hard?

Is it really difficult?

It really feels like it should not be too difficult!

So go, go, go!
This is the purpose of Huahua’s trip.

So after we got off the plane, a small theater was specially arranged to pick us up, and it was also popular in the United States.

The preparation is quite perfect.

In fact, it’s not just Huachen language.

Xu Xing's Billboard Hot 100 results have greatly stimulated the domestic music scene, especially those that follow the traffic route and engage in fan operations.

For example, Li Yuchun, Zhang Yixing, Huang Zitao and so on.

Many talented singers are also eager to make a move, such as Deng Ziqi, Zhang Liangying, etc.

Xu Xing was able to make his way out of this.

Of course we can do that too.

OK?

Is it really possible?

It really feels like it should seem like maybe it will work!
