The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 227 Do You Hate Me?

【Let's bet on the red carpet order! 】

[Cindy (Xingdi, because Xingdi stands out more and more among the nicknames, and there happened to be a Cindy in the newly popular 3shine group, so those who were unwilling to kowtow to Xingdi began to tease him by using Cindy) will definitely be the finale!
I said!
Even if Jesus comes, he can’t take away Cindy’s finale!
Cindy always occupied the center position in previous group posters, and there were also rumors that the schedule was postponed specifically for Cindy.

This Bazaar Charity Night is to show you how dominant Cindy is in the Chinese entertainment industry right now!
"Cindy is so good at suppressing things, can she also make a big finale when donating money?"

"I also think it must be the finale. Cindy is already Su Mang's new male favorite."

——"Give Su Mang face. Cindy's treatment is at the level of a real father, not a male concubine."

"I don't think so. Cindy is just one of the three captains, and he likes to pretend to respect his seniors."

——"It's set in stone. The official poster that was released last week was of Cindy."

"Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, and Huang Bo served as captains for two consecutive years. This year, only Huang Bo was replaced by Cindy. Huang Bo was so angry that he didn't attend. He still respects his seniors. Cindy now only wants two words: get promoted."

"Look at how many king oyster mushrooms are outside the venue? Anyone who dares to steal Cindy's finale will not be able to leave the Olympic Sports Center alive today. [Laughing and crying]"

——"Just after stepping off the red carpet, my legs were broken by the king oyster mushrooms."

——"The car exploded before it even reached the red carpet."

——"I was assassinated in the hotel, thank you."

[Breaking News! Cindy makes her first red carpet appearance!]

[How do you rate it?]
"Cindy is so cool..."

"You're worthy of being the most respectable Cindy. If I can't hold the center position, I'd rather go first."

——"Isn't this the most scheming thing? It proves that he really wanted to be the finale, but couldn't."

"Um...what was Cindy doing going in so early? Doesn't Bazaar have a tradition of having Su Mang accompany non-final celebrities on the red carpet?"

——"Didn't you watch the live broadcast? Su Mang was the one who accompanied him."

"I'm dying of laughter. My roommate said she'd sleep in until 3:45 and then get up to watch Cindy's finale, but Cindy ended up coming out at 2:00 [laughing and crying]"

——"The King Oyster Mushrooms outside the venue were also knocked unconscious by Cindy, and now they are all shouting for Cindy to walk again. [Laughing and crying]"

"Relieved, Christmas Eve."

——"Christmas Eve? The person who was the last to perform should quickly place an order on her mobile phone to buy coffins for the whole family. It was she who snatched Cindy's last performer away, and Cindy was so angry that she was the first to leave."

"I'm really impressed by you guys. Cindy came in first because there was a backstage performance. It's always been like this in previous years. [rolling eyes]"

"A bunch of lunatics. Fan Bingbing also left early. This year, the order of the red carpet is not important."

——"Looking at it this way, being the first to go is the most valuable!"

——"Fan Ye dared to fight with Aunt Men for the finale, but now she is scared by Cindy and dare not do that anymore. [Laughing and crying]"

【Death Note has been updated. 】

[Three people’s names are written on it: Zhang Ziyi, Huang Xiaoming, and Li Bingbing.

Three people walked together and pressed the axis together.

King Oyster Mushrooms, who should we kill first? ]
"Oh my god, these three are so brave!"

"Who are you looking down on? Are you questioning King Oyster Mushroom's ability to not kill three people at once?"

"Zhang Ziyi ran away first, while Huang Xiaoming and Li Bingbing were still taking pictures on the red carpet."

——"Auntie Men is so smart, she's worthy of having been abroad. [laughing and crying]"

"Let me analyze it. Aunt Men ran away first. Lotus helped Cindy in the past. King Oyster Mushroom should let her live a few more minutes. Green Dahei's wife Yang Tianbao offended Cindy, so she must be the first one to be killed."

——"Li Jufu! [Like]"

"Aren't you bored? Why not focus on charity? It's so filthy!"

……

Su Mang had indeed suggested that Xu Xing be the finale before, but it was impossible for Xu Xing to be the finale.

When you are in a circle, you really have to respect your seniors.

Being the finale will not increase the box office revenue or the ratings by one ten-thousandth. For Xu Xing now, it is enough to get the attention he deserves. There is no need for him to be the finale.

In fact, even the team leader, Xu Xing, only found out that she was assigned to the position after seeing the announcement. At that time, Xu Xing also criticized the agent Lin Xiaohan who was in charge of the connection.

As for choosing to be the first to appear, it was also Su Mang's suggestion.

Originally Xu Xing said that it would be fine to go in earlier, but Su Mang suggested that they go in first since there was a lounge inside.

Xu Xing thought about it and agreed.

Because Teacher Tong said she wasn't going to walk the red carpet and would enter the venue early...

It turns out that the choice to enter early was great.

Teacher Tong's shy yet bold performance was so charming. She moaned again and said that she really, really, really, really felt like she was dead just now. It was the most exciting time.

Because everyone knew that Xu Xing had arrived early, there was an endless stream of people coming directly to find Xu Xing after walking the red carpet.

The soundproofing in the lounge is also average.

The voices outside could be heard clearly, but Teacher Tong didn't dare to make any sound at all.

It was not until 3:40 that Xu Xing, after finishing his "nap", walked out of the lounge and bumped into Ms. Zhao Xiaoli, who seemed to come over to say hello.

So Xu Xing closed the door of the lounge without leaving any trace. After Xu Xing and Zhao Xiaoli walked away chatting casually, and after a while, when no one was paying attention to the area anymore, Sun Man went to knock on the door.

Xu Xing's seat was at the table in the middle.

In addition to editor-in-chief Su Mang, there were also Yu Dong and his wife from Berna Films, Cheng Wu, vice president of Penguin Group and CEO of Penguin Films, director Zhang Yibai, An Yixuan and his wife, other celebrities, and Ms. Liu Yifei.

Yes, not counting the messy tables of agents, sponsors, entrepreneurs, KOLs, etc. at the back, this is the only table of good friends who have not communicated with Xu Xing.

Mr. Cheng sat to the left of Xu Xing's seat, and Liu Yifei sat to the right.

To be honest, Xu Xing had no idea how Ms. Liu ended up at this table. It wasn't that she wasn't a good enough person, because Director Feng also had Zhong Chuxi at the table, and Director Feng didn't sit at this table, but sat at a table with the bosses of Huayi and Sina.

So this table has nothing to do with status, it only has to do with relationships, and I don’t know whose relationship she has.

Xu Xing came out of the lounge and greeted people who kept coming over to greet him under the attention of the whole audience. By the time he sat down at his seat, the charity dinner was about to officially begin.

When Xu Xing walked over, Ms. Liu Yifei looked at Xu Xing, as if waiting for Xu Xing to greet her actively.

But Xu Xing had to greet the other people at the table first. After the greetings, after everyone sat down together, he would first talk to Mr. Cheng next to him.

Mr. Cheng is a fan of the book "Joy of Life" and is also the producer of this drama.

"Joy of Life" is about to start filming. It is crucial whether this drama can reverse the situation where male IP adaptations have failed again and again and restore market confidence.

If Xu Xing can't do it, who else can?
Therefore, Mr. Cheng really had a lot to talk to Xu Xing.

Mr. Cheng is usually too busy with work, and Xu Xing's schedule is also full. Apart from the first two meetings, they have almost no chance to sit down and chat.

This charity dinner is a rare occasion where we can spend most of the time sitting still and have a good chat.

We started by talking about "Joy of Life", the preparations made, the outlook for the show, some plots in the book, views on the adaptation of male IP, and then talked about Xu Xing's achievements, and the opportunity to strengthen cooperation with Penguin Group in the future, whether it is TV series, variety shows, movies, etc.

Although the various departments within Penguin are in competition with each other, Mr. Cheng is the vice president of the group.

He proposed the concept of pan-entertainment in 2011, and pushed Penguin to upgrade to a new cultural and creative strategy, deploying animation, literature, film and television, and e-sports to build a pan-entertainment business matrix.

So Mr. Cheng has a very high vision.

The driving role that Xu Xing, a top-tier artist with a promising future, can play in the entertainment matrix is also obvious at a glance.

For example, this year Xu Xing helped Kiwi to "create" the "Rap of China" brand, which directly brought domestic hip-hop music to the local area and made a living from it.

Saying that the success of the show mainly depends on the production team? Is Xu Xing trying to take credit?
Only haters would think so.

In fact, the more professionals in the industry are, the more they know the importance of celebrities in the project.

An excellent team is only the foundation for a project's success, but if you want it to become a phenomenal hit, you need the huge traffic from celebrities.

A phenomenal project without a big star driving it is just a dark horse that cannot be replicated.

Internet companies, on the other hand, prefer models that can replicate success.

In their eyes, Xu Xing's success as a traffic star is simply wonderful.

At the end of the conversation, Mr. Cheng expressed regret, saying that he had not instructed his subordinates earlier to prioritize stabilizing the cooperative relationship with Xu Xing no matter what.

As for Kiwifruit, which does not have the bloated structure of a large group, its CEO Gong declared last year that Xu Xing was the only choice.

Mr. Cheng and Xu Xing were chatting very happily, which made everyone else at the table look at them sideways.

Xu Xing's behavior also made those people at other tables who glanced over from time to time feel reassured, and they did not take the opportunity to hook up with Liu Yifei.

I was chatting with Mr. Cheng before going on stage to perform, and I was still chatting with Mr. Cheng after coming down from the stage.

On the other side, Liu Yifei looked visibly depressed.

However, is it true that Xu Xing is deliberately avoiding suspicion and there is something fishy going on?
Boring dinner, can only think of a lot of random things.

After all, Xu Xing's pockets were limited, and there was no room for so many small buttons to interact with them. And because Teacher Fan and Teacher Li sat together, Xu Xing felt that interacting with other people was not fun at all.

Finally, the charity dinner is coming to an end.

Xu Xing also ended his chat with Mr. Cheng.

The stars took photos on stage.

"Do you really hate me, Xu Xing?"

Liu Yifei, who stood up together and waited to go on stage, leaned towards Xu Xing and asked in a low voice.

"...Why would Sister Fei think that?"

In fact, Xu Xing also noticed several times when chatting with Mr. Cheng that Liu Yifei was also chatting with Zhong Chuxi on the other side.

"You don't even want to chat with me, and the previous "Celebrating Yu Nian"..."

Liu Yifei sighed softly.

She came to the Bazaar dinner specifically this time and even managed to sit next to Xu Xing. She came here just for Xu Xing.

But what I didn't expect was that I was subjected to "cold violence" by Xu Xing.

Think about it again, Xu Xing’s backstage supporters quickly rejected her from playing the female lead in “Joy of Life”.

After I started working on my own in the entertainment industry, I felt more and more that it was really difficult...

　I know that many people don't like to see Liu in books, but she is not an unknown figure in the entertainment industry, so we will definitely interact with her.

　　And given the style of this book, there won’t be many scenes, so I would write it a little differently.
