The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 180: The Age of Empires! Highly anticipated!
4 month 13 day.

The global hit "Shape of You", which has already topped the Billboard US Singles Chart and the Global Chart for three consecutive times, has released its second MV.

In the first version of the MV, the male and female protagonists both have European and American faces, and Xu Xing’s main role is to tell a story.

The second version is a completely oriental story. Not only are the male and female protagonists Xu Xing and Zhang Junning respectively, but many Chinese elements are also added to the film.

It's still an English song though.

On the same day, the Spanish-language hit "Despacito", which had been gaining popularity steadily two months after its release and was already on the verge of becoming a big hit, released a remix version with Justin Bieber joining in, officially announcing its bid for the number one spot.

JB liked "Shape of You" when it was first released, but it was later revealed that Scooter was behind it. Now Scooter is once again asking JB to target "Shape of You".

Everyone can see that a good show is about to begin!
"Shape of You" has been at the top of the charts for three weeks, and there is still no sign of it reaching its peak in terms of playback volume on streaming platforms and radio stations.

And according to rumors, Xu Xing's fans have prepared an iTunes account that can support ten weeks of downloads.

Last week, the entire network was educated by various marketing accounts that the official website of Xu Xing, which was suddenly launched before the release of "Shape of You", had a bug that caused downloads to be forced.

The only regional option on that official website is the United States, which means you don’t need to provide a special account. You can just buy it on the official website and it will be counted in Billboard’s official statistics.

There is only a six-hour order limit.

The price of a single song is only $0.99.

Based on the purchasing power of King Oyster Mushroom, which helped to increase the sales of the EP "Actors" by tens of millions, they can generate 700 million downloads.

And this time, not only the Chinese King Oyster Mushrooms are being brushed, but also the King Oyster Mushrooms from Southeast Asia are being brushed.

Although she was immediately expelled from the fan club, it is still obvious that she is an extreme fan of King Oyster Mushroom. She jumped on the marketing Weibo of the popular science Xu Xing official website and claimed that they have already monopolized the B list and "Shape of You" will be the champion until next year.

Therefore, after the news that JB would support "Despacito" came out, the black fans in China who hated Xu Xing, the Americans abroad who instinctively disliked Chinese singers, and the Americans who admitted that "Shape of You" was indeed good but that it was almost time for it to stay at the top for three weeks, were all excited about the news!
Take action!
Since Jia Tingting's return, no one can snatch from you the noble name of Justin, the king of pop JB!

This time I would like to honor you as the toughest Bieber in the world!

Let’s try again with your most loyal beliebers around the world!

Slap that Chinese guy in the face!

Severely humiliate the lucky place!!!
Then--

{【Age of Empires! Highly anticipated!】QQ group.

“How many tickets did the sisters buy?”

"Five per person, King Oyster Mushroom gave a tutorial, it's pretty simple."

"Five..."

"Most of our Empire fans are working people. They are much more financially capable than those elementary school students. Five is the minimum."

"Dispeituo is a good album, it's worth buying it."

"Whenever I hear Spanish songs, I think of Uncle An whom I admired when I was young. I bought ten copies and considered them as my own for Uncle An. [shy]"

"Sisters have good taste, and Uncle An is so handsome that I'm stunned!"

"The three little ones are more handsome!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Bieber is pretty handsome too."

"The three little ones + Bieber, the four kings of the world! [Like]"

"[Laughing and crying]"

"I'll buy twenty! Please die! [Angry]"

"Luckily, I died at the scene of the car accident where his parents passed away! [Angry]"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"To fight the King Oyster Mushrooms, you need to have the same qualities as them. [Hehe]"

"Sister is right!"

"When can Despeto get rid of Xingchu as soon as possible?"

"Maybe next week, but I don't really understand."

"You sing one, I sing one, and next week you'll be gone!"

"[Laughing and crying]"

“[Laugh][Laugh][Laugh]”

"Hello, sisters!"

"@Everyone, everyone, buy it! At least one! American account! The fan club just reached an agreement with Belieber in China on cooperation. Next time, they will buy it for the three little ones. They will also convey our friendship to the Belieber headquarters in the United States and help promote the cooperation between the three little ones and Bieber."

"Wow! The fan club is so active! [Like]"

"Kneel down to the big guys! [Worship]"

【As shown in the picture. 】

[What do Group 8 think of Sister Empire's chat record?]
“[This is hard to comment].jpg”

"Doraemon frowned..."

""dispeitou", "despeto"."

——"The four kings of the world, conveyed to the Belieber headquarters in the United States."

"You didn't call me the wrong nickname, traitor."

"Sister Empire is such a loser, don't they know that the entire fan circle of King Oyster Mushroom is undercover??? How can they say it so directly in the group? Can't they buy it secretly?"

——"You are so anxious, Sister Luwei."

——"Have domestic fan clubs united to become traitors???"

"Sister Empire, why don't you learn from King Oyster Mushroom and expel me from the fan club immediately!"

——"This group is quite core and cannot be expelled. [Sweating]"

"The three little ones of Empire, who were highly expected by the jinxes, have such a useless fan circle. How could they possibly push Xu Xing down from the top position? [Sweating]"

……

"I saw it," Xu Xing said with a smile, "but I don't think there's any need to worry. If they just encourage without specifically counting how much each person has bought, not many people will buy in the end. That US account just looks simple, most people won't bother to mess with it. And now that it's been exposed, there shouldn't be many black fans with this kind of mind who actually buy.

"After all, there are already marketing accounts that are popularizing Justin Bieber fans' previous downloading power, and there are also marketing accounts that are spreading the message that Bieber's fans overseas are calling for a boycott of "Despacito" and refusing to let Bieber become a tool for Scooter. So if the downloads of this song are abnormal, it will definitely be blamed on Tboys fans, and they must now quickly distance themselves from it."

"Oh."

Teacher Tong nodded and felt relieved.

Although I didn't quite understand, but since Xu Xing was so confident, there shouldn't be any problem.

In fact, considering that his fans have been fighting all over the Internet in the past two years to tear down the hatred attracted by various artists, and that those artists who are preparing to release songs in the United States may use "Despacito" to train their troops this time.

Xu Xing really couldn't say how many people in China would use US accounts to buy this song.

Therefore, just in case, Xu Xing's fans directed and acted out Bieber fans' boycott of "Despacito" in overseas. In addition, they also planned to download "Despacito" this week. It will definitely be filtered out anyway, and the blame will be put on the Empire Sisters. But in fact, even if "Despacito" welcomes Justin Bieber's participation this week, its data in all aspects cannot be compared with the first-class "Shape of You". This week is just the beginning of its promotion.

Therefore, even if many domestic fan clubs really bought it using US accounts this week, they should not be able to snatch the fourth week championship of "Shape of You".

Not necessarily next week.

After all, the momentum of "Shape of You" is too strong.

The real showdown will be in May.

Teacher Tong, whose dimples were particularly obvious when she smiled, hesitated.

"Zhang Junning in that MV, you and her..."

"At the time, I was accused of plagiarism, and she encouraged me on WeChat, saying that she believed I definitely didn't plagiarize. Then I invited her when I was shooting the second version of the MV."

Xu Xing explained.

This is also what was stated in the external press release.

So Teacher Tong, who asked this question, actually knows the answer.

"I told you that, too!"

This time, Teacher Tong's smile had a hint of reproach.

"Um, I'm sorry. I thought Teacher Tong might not be in a good mood, so I didn't ask you."

Xu Xing scratched his head and continued to explain.

"I'm in a good mood now!"

Teacher Tong’s face turned red from laughing.

"Then find Teacher Tong next time."

Xu Xing said immediately.

"That's not necessary," Teacher Tong waved his hands embarrassedly, "I was just kidding."

"I will definitely invite Teacher Tong to work with me if there is a chance!"

Xu Xing continued to assure.

Teacher Tong said no.

The two looked at each other and laughed awkwardly for a while.

Teacher Tong blinked.

"You just changed the subject. I was asking about your relationship with her. Are you..."

Still not finished.

Xu Xing thought about it and nodded.

"Ah."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

she asked again.

"In name only, but she actually knows about me."

Xu Xing continued to remain honest.

The living room fell into silence.

After a while.

Teacher Tong, who had been looking into Xu Xing's eyes, sighed.

“You live freely!”

“It’s actually quite confusing.”

Xu Xing smiled at himself.

“Maybe,” Teacher Tong nodded gently, “but it’s very free.”

"..."

Xu Xing didn't know what to say.

“I’m really envious.”

she continued.

Xu Xing looked again.

She was wearing casual home clothes, which focused on comfort and casualness, but she also put on careful makeup.

……

[The sound is for you and the picture is for him,

I gave you the plot and gave him the ending.
I gave you the crystal slipper and gave it to him at twelve o'clock.

……

I would rather leave nothing behind and have nothing to worry about.

If I still have sorrow, let the wind blow it away.

If I still have happiness,
If I am still happy...]
"Listen to Faye Wong," the man said casually, forcing a smile before opening the door. "I heard on the phone this afternoon that you seemed unwell, so I came to see you."

"It's okay. I went out to play and just got back. You are so busy, so don't come over if you have nothing to do."

A lazy voice, long loose hair, and bare feet.

It really fits the mental state of listening to this song.

But, the neck...

……

4 month 20 day.

The latest Billboard chart is announced, and "Shape of You", with the help of the new MV, has won the championship for four consecutive times, and it is unstoppable!
Even though the download volume of "Despacito" joined by Justin Bieber once soared to overtake "Shape of You" in the middle of the week, the download volume estimated by various platforms to be 20 was cut by nearly 70%, and only 6 was counted.

For a time, social media at home and abroad exploded!

Foreign netizens are incredulous that the news that Chinese people helped to boost the downloads of "Despacito" in order to surpass Xu Xing is true...

The domestic companies that had only tried their hand at training were surprised why their accounts did not work, and they put all the blame on the Empire Sister whose chat records were leaked.

Together with King Oyster Mushroom, who is leading the extremely angry, and the righteous netizens who are filled with righteous indignation, let's severely settle accounts with Sister Empire!
The sister of Empire passed the buck, claiming that she was framed, and the fan circle was in chaos.

While watching the fun online, Xu Xing headed to Qing City to join the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

Then on the road.

I saw the news that Billboard’s official website released an announcement to modify the download rules.
