The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 183: Try to cut off all downloads?
At the same time, Xu Xing also boarded a plane to New York to attend this year's Met Gala.

As the global spokesperson for Prada, I didn't come last year, so I can't refuse this year.

After all, they treat Xu Xing very well, with global broadcasts and five major covers every year. Last month, they even helped Xu Xing appear on the July cover of "VOGUE A" (American version).

in the country, it also decided to publish the cover of Harper’s Bazaar in September.

The only thing that made Xu Xing a little dissatisfied about Prada was that their company was too weak and its only famous brands were Prada and Miu Miu.

The Prada brand does not distribute titles wholesale. Normally, it is no problem to invite anyone to watch the show, but they really don’t give titles.

So in the near future, Nazha will only announce a Miu Miu China-only brand ambassador.

That is why Xu Xing, who has recently been in contact with the jewelry brand Bulgari, was somewhat tempted by the goodwill shown by the LVMH Group to which they belong. LV is truly a huge company.

When Xu Xing declined the offer with the excuse that he didn't want the outside world to think that he had accepted Wu's contract resources, the other party directly suggested that if he had a girlfriend with suitable popularity, such as Reba, he could help recommend her to Dior to get the title.

Of course, their ultimate goal is to make Xu Xing completely join the LVMH camp, rather than just being a Bulgari spokesperson.

You should know that Jiaxing’s top star Yang Mi does not have a high-end luxury title. In her previous life, she didn’t get the title of Versace until 2019. She is currently in contact with Michael Kors, a brand that few people in China have heard of.

then……

"Bite you to death!"

After Yang Mi finished speaking viciously, he immediately bit down hard.

I felt so miserable that tears came out instantly.

But her eyes were still tearful and fierce.

She just wanted to show Xu Xing her determination.

Apart from models, she was the only female celebrity from China who attended this year's Met Gala.

Xu Xing is really...

I agree with Teacher Yang's attitude, but I really can't agree with her.

Xu Xing was so impressed by LV's efficiency that after a brief contact between the two parties in early April, they actually contacted Jiaxing again, and then Yang Mi found out. Xu Xing could actually arrange the Dior title!

It's actually going to be arranged for Reba!
The ambitious Xu Xing actually wanted to help Reba to rebel against Tiangang and kill Yang Mi!

If Reba is really given a high-end endorsement by Yang Mi, who has no connections with her, how will she survive in the future? ? ?
"It's not that simple."

Xu Xing pressed her little head, trying to calm her down.

"From the contact to the investigation to the final official announcement, it took more than a year. Besides, I haven't agreed yet. Prada has been so good to me, I don't want to leave for the time being."

Nazha started this process last year, and the official announcement will have to wait two months.

- Miu Miu's brand ambassador, and she was recommended to star in "Sewing Machine Band" produced by Chen Xi. With these two arrangements, although Xu Xing has been a little cold towards Nazha in the past six months, she is still obsessed with Xu Xing and can accept playing with other women unconditionally.

Unlike Yang Mi and Qin Lan, they were really insincere. One insisted on getting Reba, and the other agreed but then cheated.

Xu Xing explained, but Yang Mi didn't listen.

Xu Xing had no choice but to use a tougher and more profound attitude, bombarding her with high speed and intensiveness, leaving her no chance to breathe.

After sobbing for a long time, she finally calmed down.

Only after completely receiving and absorbing it, he felt very happy and said in a somewhat mean way.

"You don't have to give it to me, just don't give it to her."

This attitude is real.

slap~
A punishment must be imposed.

But this was not a punishment for her.

Instead, she closed her eyes with an intoxicated look on her face, feeling happy.

"you are so kind to me."

So Xu Xing felt that she was really a little nervous in recent times.

Compared to the docile Aunt Zhiling, Teacher Yang is actually the most extreme. The tone was set from the first time. After she insisted on specifying Reba, Xu Xing further broke through her previous psychological limitations.

So during that period of time, Yang Mi didn't dare to look Xu Xing in the eye in public.

But now, she is gradually adapting.

Xu Xing likes that she can always adapt!

And Teacher Yang actually cares about Xu Xing quite a bit.

"Did Hua Chenyu's single have a big impact on your song?"

There was a serious expression of worry on his face.

But Xu Xing was also really speechless.

"How is it possible? You would——"

"Uh, no, I didn't," Yang Mi interrupted Xu Xing awkwardly, "I just have to record "Tomorrow's Son" with him in a while, so I asked him when I remembered."

"..."

Xu Xing was about to say something.

Teacher Yang immediately continued to express his opinion.

"I brought Toosaka Rin's clothes this time. I'll ask the makeup artist to help me tie them into twin ponytails tonight. I..."

Met Gala.

There are many big-name European and American stars, but Xu Xing, who is currently winning the B list and suppressing JB, can be considered a small focus figure.

And Yang Mi in this situation is just a street kid.

Her dress was ugly too.

It wasn't that Xu Xing had made a special plan in there, Xu Xing just glanced at her and didn't want to spend any time on her.

Of course, to avoid suspicion.

During the entire trip, Xu Xing did not take any photos with Yang Mi.

Even though Teacher Yang begged Xu Xing sincerely for a whole night, and said something like, "Wouldn't you find it more interesting if you just send it out and watch them quarrel?"
But Xu Xing still didn't agree.

Because that would be really boring.

In the eyes of fans, Teacher Yang will always be cold and arrogant. When participating in the same event with fans, she won’t even greet them and won’t even look at them!
Before returning home.

Xu Xing also flew to Los Angeles to discuss the status of the single with Interscope CEO John.

Then John told Xu Xing that next week the B list would officially release the latest rules and cut downloads.

"They wanted me to persuade your fans to stop, but I told them to get lost. We will hold the title for as long as we can!"

John was excited, "They cut all the downloads and see what happens?"

It’s not like “Shape of You” has other bad data, it’s all thanks to downloads, streaming media plays are so strong, and radio plays are also very high.

Following this trend, there may be a chance for us to win the championship this year.

Why should we give up the crown now?
Was the Billboard chart opened by Scooter? "..."

Xu Xing smiled and didn't say much.

The B chart was not opened by Scooter, but the money earned by himself and his fans did not come from the wind.

Enough has been smashed.

Fans are pushing for downloads, and Xu Xing’s various large lists and advertisements are also continuing to push for them.

It's impossible to keep smashing it down.

……

Huachenyu fan group.

"Baby's breath?"

"?"

"???"

"?"

"Check if there are any King Oyster Mushrooms in the group."

"[sweat]"

"I'm so excited! I can hear the new song soon!"

"Sad news! B Chart suddenly announced that the rules have been changed! The rules have really been changed! Downloads will only be counted once a week, and the conversion rate for paid streaming media has been increased..."

"..."

“[horror][horror][horror]”

"Isn't this just for Huahua???"

"What do you mean! Huahua just said she wanted to issue an order and she immediately changed the rules?"

"Is B-list afraid of spending money?"

"B list is a bunch of shit! They let Xingchu win the championship for seven weeks before changing the rules? [Question]"

“It’s not fair!!!”

“Sad news! Despacito suddenly announced another discount and released two remix versions. It is said that it will officially go for the championship!”

"..."

"..."

"Why did they choose now? [Angry]"

"JB is also afraid of flowers..."

"Sad news! Shape of You also suddenly announced a discount and released two new remix versions. Huahua was jointly suppressed!"

"..."

"[vomit][vomit]"

"They are in cahoots with each other!!"

“Is there anyone who suppresses domestic opponents in this way???”

"What on earth is Xingchu afraid of???"

“The song is online!!!”

“It’s amazing!”

"I can't help myself after hearing the prelude! Huahua, the genius musician! [crying]"

“It’s much better than “Shape of You”!”

"What's the surname of the Chinese music scene? [Crying]"

"The arrangement specifically uses flute and pipa, with an English-Chinese style! Huahua has created a new musical style!"

“[Crying][Crying][Crying] Such a beautiful song has been suppressed! I feel so unwilling to accept this!”

“Flower, flower, flower, flower, flower! [crying][crying][crying]”

……

John's information is accurate.

On the day when Huachenyu released the single, Chart B announced a change in the rules.

Then, the concern for Xu Xing came again.

"Hua Chenyu? Well, I don't need to worry about him. The top executives of major record companies will know about this level of rule changes in advance. But it's hard to say whether he chose this time to release the single or it was just a coincidence. Maybe their team's previous goal was to enter the top 50? It would cost too much to go any higher.

"But even before the rules were changed, he had no chance of competing for the top spot. Last week, the data of the two songs "Shape of You" and "Despacito" had officially reached their peak. With two phenomenal hits competing for the top spot, even if it was a top European and American star, it would be almost impossible for them to win the title without winning.

"Besides, they bought the cheapest ads and listings, which might not last for a few days. Apart from a few press releases tied to my marketing, they did not seriously promote in the United States. And in fact, there are not many downloads now. His single has been released for three hours, and it is still No. 3 on the iTunes download list."

Xu Xing explained, and Ma Fanshu nodded, listening very carefully.

The trip to the Met Gala was just a brief change of pace. During the entire shooting period, or the entire year, in all aspects, Fanfan was the most suitable person to accompany Xu Xing anytime and anywhere.

She only has some fame in the football circle now, so it is safe for her to come here simply by dressing up. The capital is not too far from Qing City.

Coming here three or four days a week is almost like going on vacation.

"how about you?"

Ma Fanshu asked with concern.

"It's hard to say. Let's wait and see when the list comes out next week. If it's only until this week, then it's fine."

Xu Xing smiled.

The best performing data for "Shape of you" has always been downloads and free streaming, and this time the B chart rules change is aimed at this.

Limiting paid downloads while increasing paid streaming is an acceptable result for platforms such as Apple Music.

In order to maintain its winning streak despite the impact of "Despacito" last week, "Shape of You" was discounted and two remixes were released.

This time it can only be further discounted to $0.39, and the last two versions of the remix are thrown away.

The rest depends on how many downloads fans can get from the official website that is not mentioned in this rule change, and whether the B list officials will find another reason to cut it off.

“It’s already amazing!”

Ma Fanshu immediately exclaimed with starry eyes.

Xu Xing smiled.

"What gift do you want? I'll buy it for you when we go to America."

I forgot to buy it last time, and Sun Man didn’t remind Xu Xing…
