The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 223 Fans don’t care about the falsehood beneath the truth, right?
Zhengrong Entertainment.

"I heard Xu Xing is coming to the company!"

"Really?!"

"When! When!"

"It seems to be in the afternoon, but he is so busy every day, it is hard to say - Sister Xing!"

"Sister Xing!"

The two girls who were originally chattering together quickly greeted each other awkwardly.

The women passing by nodded and smiled at them.

After the woman walked away.

"By the way, what did she do before? She's so young, and she's a director right away. Which executive did she sleep with?"

"It seems that the self-media operation is very powerful. I used to chase stars, so I came here. Hey, do you think her smile is fake..."

"I thought it was just my feeling. I'm just pretending. I don't talk much, I'm like a mute, and I have a strong sense of superiority."

"Sister Ling (Xu Xing's former fan manager Tan Ling) is much more approachable than her. Did you know that?"

"what?"

"The position of director originally belonged to Sister Ling, but she took it away..."

After turning the corner, Xing Xin did not leave but listened to their conversation for a while, then smiled and shook her head.

I memorized the names of those two trainees and marked them with the words “never debut”.

If these gossipers are allowed to debut, they will become bad people who will bully the staff in the future.

Then, Xing Xin slowly returned to his office.

Waiting for the arrival of the top star who will leave everyone else far behind in the era of traffic.

……

"Can you guys hurry up? I've been circling around four times."

In the driving seat, Sun Man finally couldn't bear it anymore and complained out loud.

"It's coming right up, yeah!"

Xu Xing stopped talking, and after a long while, he finally relaxed comfortably.

"Whoo~"

Meng Ziyi's cough followed suit.

"Cough, cough, cough~"

Sun Man rolled her eyes to herself.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Xu Xing was stroking Meng Ziyi's flushed cheeks. Meng Ziyi, who was still catching her breath, had eyes full of happiness and emotion.

Sun Man rolled her eyes again.

"I was a little anxious just now."

Xu Xing apologized gently.

"It's okay. It's my fault that I was so useless and made you wait for so long."

Meng Ziyi criticized himself in a slightly hoarse voice.

+1 for rolling eyes.

"We're here, get off the car!"

Sun Man said unhappily.

A whole night and the morning wasn't enough, he had to pester Xu Xing and chase her into the car.

It’s not that the trunk of this Porsche is too small, they can both do it directly on the road.

A sick and sad farewell.

Meng Ziyi didn't dare to ask for a goodbye kiss, and Xu Xing didn't take the initiative to kiss her.

Ha~
The longer I stay with Xu Xing, the more I feel how low-level animals humans are in essence.

Every woman knows Xu Xing's true nature, yet they still rush into him one after another.

The most outrageous thing is that they played more and more extravagantly, or to be more precise, they were played more and more extravagantly by Xu Xing, and they even became more and more affectionate and hypocritical.

A perfect interpretation of what it means to act according to circumstances.

Think about their glamorous image in the outside world and their supreme status in the hearts of fans. It is really ironic.

Fans of tonight's first love face, do you know that she flew 1200 kilometers to come here to offer herself to you?
"Not happy today?"

After Meng Ziyi left, Xu Xing asked Sun Man in front.

"Would you be happy if we switched places?"

Sun Man complained.

"Uh..." Xu Xing scratched his head, "When I get Lin Yuner in the future, I can drive in front and let you guys——"

"Get lost, Xu Xing!"

Sun Man cursed.

"Hahaha," Xu Xing laughed, "Meng Ziyi is also OK, she respects you very much."

"roll roll roll!"

Sun Man cursed repeatedly.

After a lot of joking, we finally arrived at today's destination, Zhengrong Entertainment.

This time, Xu Xing came mainly to meet with the contestants participating in "Idol Producer" and preliminarily screen the places for debut.

Zhengrong Entertainment finally got three debut positions including the C position.

Among them, the most important C position must find a trainee with strong enough ability.

Because Zhengrong did not sign Cai Jini, who had been leading in "Idol Producer" in his previous life and had won the C position with the attitude of a big devil.

In fact, last year, Xu Xing suggested to Zhengrong Entertainment to buy the contract of Cai Jini, who participated in "Star Asia" from Yihai Culture's Swin.

But at that time, South Korea's "Product 101" had already started recording, and domestic trainee companies were betting on the arrival of the era of domestic idols.

Yihi Culture was unwilling to release Cai Jini's contract, and the high termination fee also deterred Li Hang, CEO of Zhengrong Entertainment.

Xu Xing, who had a full schedule every day, did not take Hou Minghao away from Black Gold as he did in the beginning, because he kept chatting with Hou Minghao and kept an eye on this matter. So when Kiwi Fruit proposed to invite Xu Xing to be a mentor for the trainee talent show at the beginning of this year, Xu Xing turned back to ask Zhengrong Entertainment, and found out that they did not recruit Cai Jini.

They urged Zhengrong Entertainment to poach him again, but after Yihi Culture learned that China had started to produce talent shows, they kept Cai Jini even more secret.

Then, Cai Jini proposed to unilaterally terminate the contract with Yi Hai.

It was not Zheng Rong who instigated it. After Kiwi Fruit quickly decided to invite Ge Fuhong, a big boss in the entertainment industry of the island province, to organize the group, they found Cai Jini to place their bet.

Cai Jini has become the Taoyuan candidate.

A trainee who was exploited by the agency due to lack of talent and angrily started his own business and was burdened with huge debts.

Kiwi can easily create a perfect script of a beautiful, strong and tragic devil.

It is really difficult to suppress him and get the C position.

However, Xu Xing only received 1500 million yuan in salary for each episode, so it would be impossible to give up the C position to him no matter how difficult it was.

Kiwi agreed that Zhengrong would be the center. They gave Cai Jini a perfect script, and they also wanted to give Zhengrong a perfect script for the center position.

Xu Xing would not sit idly by and watch Cai Jini turn against Tian Gang and surpass Zheng Rong C to become the most popular star in the show.

So, Zhengrongc...

"Hello, I'm Xing Xin, the artist publicity director of Zhengrong Films."

The woman opposite held out her hand.

He had a serious expression and looked quite solemn.

Xu Xing smiled and shook hands.

"Hello, I'm Xu Xing."

Xu Xing noticed the title she introduced herself as. She was the publicity director of the parent company Zhengrong Film and Television, not the trainee company Zhengrong Entertainment.

After a brief greeting, Xu Xing quickly got down to business with her.

Zhengrong Entertainment's CEO Li Hang and Artist Director Zhao Zixin were also present, but they obviously didn't know as much as Xing Xin about how to create a perfect talent show script.

At the beginning, CEO Li Hang once again expressed his incomprehension as to why Xu Xing attached so much importance to Cai Jini in the past, but now regards him as his biggest competitor.

Li Hang watched some videos of Cai Jini's "Star Asia" and also managed to find some stage videos of that obscure group Swin. However, he didn't think they were that good.

I had not been very active in trying to recruit Cai Jini before.

Qu Mingzhen, the big boss behind the scenes, is also Sister Qu, whom Li Hang respects the most. Her friend's brother only needs to make some light suggestions, but Li Hang will have to consider many things to run Zhengrong Entertainment in a way that will impress Sister Qu.

In Li Hang's opinion, the biggest competitor should be Fan Bingbing's younger brother Fan Chengcheng.

Xu Xing was too lazy to complain about him.

Xing Xin immediately expressed her approval of Xu Xing, and naturally praised Xu Xing for really understanding her fans.

With the presence of a professional like Xing Xin, Xu Xing felt a lot more relaxed.

Xing Xin had made detailed preparations early on, and directly gave Xu Xing three candidates to be the center position, and also emphasized the candidate she thought was the most suitable -

Sheng Ke lost both his parents when he was young and went to South Korea alone to be a trainee in middle school. In South Korea, he was robbed by a gangster with a knife, and was stabbed after resisting. His life was once in danger.

Those who Xu Xing has never heard of it might have been a ga in their previous life.

When talking about the death of both parents, the expressions of everyone in the meeting room were a little subtle.

However, Xing Xin's tone was extremely normal.

"His life story is tragic enough, and his stage presence is outstanding enough. His dance and vocal skills are a little weak, but his stage presence is very charming."

Xing Xin said as she used the projector to show Xu Xing the video of Sheng Ke's practice room.

After reading it, Xu Xing felt relieved.

In fact, no matter what the script is, strength is the most fundamental.

Taking "unorthodox ways" may allow you to debut in a high position, but it is impossible for you to become the center.

And Sheng Ke’s ability is worthy of the C position.

Even if there were no such sad points as the death of both parents and the danger of life, the company could easily make up other sad points for him.

With him as his companion, Xu Xing understood why Li Hang was not very interested in Cai Jini.

After looking at several other outstanding trainees, Xu Xing was completely relieved.

Although Zhengrong entered the trainee market late, the company's strong financial resources allowed it to recruit many talented people, and after recruiting them, it also had the money to send them to South Korea for training.

The other two debut spots and the spots to appear on the show will not be decided so quickly.

Just like the most professional South Korean entertainment companies in this regard, the royal family and the C position are decided early, and the remaining spots can be replaced temporarily the night before the debut.

There is still nearly half a year before the official recording of the program.

After the discussion in the conference room, Xu Xing went to the practice room to see the stage prepared by Sheng Ke and reaffirmed his ability.

So, something Xu Xing thought might take a whole day and cause her a headache was solved in just one morning.

Xu Xing specifically praised Xing Xin a few words.

Then--

"Take a step to talk?"

Xing Xin asked.

"it is good."

Xu Xing nodded.

Wait for the two of them to walk into the meeting room.

Xing Xin opened her mouth and said:
"I made up the story that Sheng Ke lost both his parents when he was young and was seriously injured and in critical condition."

"..."

Xu Xing frowned.

“It’s true that both of his parents have passed away, but only his mother died when he was a child, and his father passed away the year before last.

"After he finished primary school in China, he was taken in by his father who went to South Korea to work. Therefore, his Mandarin is not very good, and he has been taking lessons recently.

"As for the one who was stabbed, there was a scar on his tendon that he forgot how it got. I suspect it was from a fight and he concealed it on purpose. But it just happened to be a story about him bidding farewell to the stage forever.

"He doesn't take the initiative to talk about these things. We only release press releases for marketing, and there won't be any problems. His parents are gone, the scars are real, and fans won't care about the falsehood underneath these realities, right?"
