The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 229 "Celebrating More Than Years" starts

In his previous life, Xu Xing was a person with excellent physical fitness.

He stayed up late every day, smoking and drinking, but he was also so brave and diligent that every good sister he talked to sighed that it was a waste to be a mediocre screenwriter at the bottom of the entertainment industry.

They also had improper ambitions and tried to monopolize Xu Xing.

Xu Xing, who knew full well that pleasure places were ruthless, did not get deceived by them. He continued to work hard as a mediocre screenwriter, chatting with Secretary Sun from time to time and making fun of their increasingly boring life.

We also imagined together what it would be like if we were reborn.

At that time, Xu Xing thought that life would be just as boring after rebirth, because his selfish and despicable nature made it impossible for him to love others too much. He would definitely still be living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and it would be enough for everyone to please each other for a short period of time.

This is the easiest way to live.

After his rebirth, even though he had become the only top star in the country and had made achievements internationally, his life had not changed in essence.

My physical fitness has improved, and I feel that I can push the intensity higher and higher.

But the mentality is different.

This time Xu Xing no longer felt bored and began to find it interesting.

For example, two super-popular stars act like good sisters in public, but they appeared in the same frame countless times in the first two years, and even acted like prostitutes on the show for show effects.

Maybe the relationship between the two was really good at that time.

But in the past two years, as the popularity gap has narrowed rapidly, they have subtly begun to compete with each other in their hearts.

And on the stage of the group photo tonight, the two were still holding hands and smiling. Before leaving the Olympic Sports Center, they asked each other to report their safety when they returned to the hotel.

Then we met again at Xu Xing's house.

Reba was stunned, her eyes wide in disbelief.

Yang Mi had a smile on her face, and Xu Xing also had a smile on her face, but she felt like crying.

Last time, she really couldn't help but say how Yang Mi was better than her and wanted to compete with Yang Mi.

But she didn't expect Xu Xing to really -

Okay, let's be honest.

She thought about it.

But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Not even a week has passed...

"Be completely disappointed in me."

Reba heard Xu Xing whisper in her ear.

Her eyes felt hot for a moment, but she immediately raised her head and endured it.

When she looked at Yang Mi again, Reba, who was hugged by Xu Xing, had already made herself laugh.

"Miss Mi, you're here too."

The sound is light and airy.

But smiling.

She had plastic surgery on her face and was six years older than me.

The winner is definitely yourself!
as predicted.

After the team match started, except when Xu Xing did not help her when Yang Mi attacked her, Reba could clearly feel that Xu Xing treated her better at other times.

Xu Xing's attitude towards Yang Mi does not show any affection at all, let alone love.

Even though Yang Mi insisted that this was the first group rehearsal, she should be allowed to go first.

But Reba immediately saw Xu Xing criticizing and educating her... and couldn't help but criticize and educate her together.

Later, Reba began to agree with Xu Xing's first words - she was completely disappointed in him.

I forced myself to smile and got through the most embarrassing early stages. After completely smoothing out the twists and turns in my heart and the entanglements of the past, it seemed that things were much easier than before.

It seems that being crazy all the time is better than feeling sad every time it ends, knowing that the illusion of happiness will disappear soon.

There is also a subtle feeling that everyone has seen everything. Apart from those two lumps, is there anyone better than me?

In the future, you will be the stronger one!
See if you still——

"Ahahaha~ Sister Mi, I was wrong, I was really wrong, hum hum hum~ Don't do this! Please! Brother, please save me, please take care of your daughter! Ah~ um hum hum~ hahahahaha..."

it's very funny.

I don’t know if it’s because Mr. Yang’s technique of connecting the voices is so superb, but the two of them showed a tacit understanding the first time they rehearsed together.

So their relationship at the beginning must have been really good.

Xu Xing felt even more despicable.

……

"I think it's hard for people to change after rebirth. Without the cheat code, if I were to start over again, my life might be slightly better than it is now, but not much. Now I'm lazy and like to play, so after rebirth I definitely won't suddenly change my personality and become proactive and strive to save the world."

Xu Xing smiled.

"Yeah, that's right," Li Xiaoran agreed. "If I were reborn, I would definitely still play games every day besides supporting myself. Lazy but I love playing, that's me." "No, I'm not talking about you, Sister Xiaoran."

Xu Xing immediately apologized awkwardly.

"But that's just how I am!" Li Xiaoran smiled, "Xiao Xing, you seem to know me quite well."

"A son-in-law should understand his mother-in-law!"

Guo Qilin made jokes.

A group of people around laughed together.

Fan Xian and Princess Li Yunrui are sworn enemies in the play.

"Joy of Life" started filming today. The crew just held an opening ceremony. Now everyone is sitting together chatting, waiting for the official start of filming.

Half a month has passed since the chaotic charity dinner that was ridiculed by the entire Internet. Before it started, it was called "a fashion festival with a stunning lineup", and after it ended, it was called "the entertainment industry is so rotten."

The topic of the drama was so intense that the fan circle was kept busy for half a month.

From analyzing the group photo segment with all sorts of problems frame by frame to gaining new insights, to torturing celebrities who appeared to steal the spotlight but did not donate, to speculating based on all kinds of leaked rumors and gossip, all the black fans were having a great time.

The beautiful and kind-hearted teacher Tong did not walk the red carpet, nor did she go on stage for the final photo. She used the name of a couple when donating, and it seems that she has not divorced the scumbag yet. It's so miserable... I won't talk about the positive things.

It is common for big and small flowers to pull their hair.

The four Cs and three non-donations are discussed every day, and are accompanied by emoticons of the three of them looking like bitches.

Did Li Bingbing deliberately stand like that to stop Fan Bingbing from standing in the C position?
The usually arrogant Yang Mi was as quiet as a chicken on the stage and was slapped in the face. It turned out that he was not presentable.

Then, the topic turned to Xu Xing.

For example, was the confusion in the group photo caused by Xu Xing’s unwillingness to stand in the C position?
Everyone can see how much Su Mang values Xu Xing at this charity dinner, but Xu Xing keeps dodging it. He knows that respecting seniors is good, but isn't that self-defeating?
Did Liu Yifei not go earlier to grab a seat because she was chatting with Xu Xing? It is said that Xu Xing, who was sitting in the audience, was chatting all night. What was he and Liu Yifei talking about so happily?
What exactly was Yang Mi saying to Xu Xing through his mouth?
Does Nazha look at Xu Xing too many times?

Why doesn’t Xu Xing care about the lives of the artists in his studio?
……

Xu Xing, who hadn't surfed for a while, asked Sun Man to compile a bound book for him out of curiosity.

Then I was speechless.

It seems that Qu Mingzhen, who saw the related gossip while surfing, called Xu Xing to ask if she was interested in acting in "Mulan" with Liu Yifei.

——Although it may involve the issue of Xu Xing and Liu Yifei being together, it would be nice to let Xu Xing act in international blockbusters!
Xu Xing was surprised to ask her if it was confirmed that Liu Yifei would play the role so early. Qu said it was almost the same, and that nationality and connections were both advantages, and that it might have been decided. Then Xu Xing asked Qu if he could let her get the first role in "Mulan"? She hung up the phone.

This little episode is the only thing worth mentioning after the charity dinner.

Think about Ms. Liu's reaction at the time. She seemed to know that she could get "Mulan"... Then she went to complain that Xu Xing would not act with her in "Joy of Life" that day, which was very——

Never mind, I think I’m overthinking it.

Xu Xing continues to practice respecting personal destiny and letting go of the complex of helping others.

Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, having experienced high popularity and abundant resources, but having never achieved any decent results, and his situation is getting worse and worse, one can only say that people are angry at his lack of fighting spirit.

Then, based on your personal circumstances, decide whether you should sympathize with their misfortune.

……

Back to the start of filming of "Joy of Life".

On the first day of filming, the task was easy and the atmosphere on the set was lively.

This script is different from the previous male supporting IP adaptation ideas. It takes the route of light comedy, coupled with the screenwriter Wang Juan's signature little reversal, and the original novel has been "popular in the streets" in online literature, but for the audience of the TV series, the refreshing setting and just the right amount of "shallow" power struggle make it fully commercial.

Therefore, this kind of atmosphere is also what the director and producer hope to see.

Veteran actor Chen Daoming only comes to the crew when he has a filming task, and Xu Xing, the biggest star, doesn't put on airs.

You can also enjoy the milk tea and pastries sent to the crew by Xu Xing’s fans on the day of filming.

Everyone felt extremely comfortable even before the filming of this drama officially started.

then……

Only the originally scheduled five days of filming were completed in the first week, including a few scenes that were just for show on the first day.

Even though the producer and director had said there was a possibility of overdue shooting when they were setting the shooting schedule, if it continued to be overdue it would delay Xu Xing's subsequent schedule.

"You should just take care of the set."

Xu Xing said helplessly.

In fact, the crew of "Detective Chinatown" also had this kind of shooting atmosphere, but Director Chen was very clear about what he wanted.

What matters is the viewing experience, and the filming must be completed within the schedule, rather than enjoying the relaxed atmosphere on the set.

Director Chen would just be laughing with everyone, and then become serious in the blink of an eye. If he saw that the atmosphere was too relaxed, he would find a reason to establish his authority on the set. That person was usually Xu Xing, who was always very cooperative... Of course, this made it difficult for Teacher Tong.

The director of a TV series is far inferior to that of a movie director, and Director Sun has no outstanding resume in the past.

In his previous life, when the first season of "Joy of Life" was a huge hit, he was almost like a mascot in the second season. It was okay that he couldn't stop the resource-rich people from leaving the crew, which was indeed beyond his ability. However, there were constant improvisations on the scene, and the actors could do whatever they wanted, which must have been related to his ability to control.

If Xu Xing hadn't known that he had been a pretty good filmmaker in his previous life, he would have definitely tried to get President Qu to replace him.

Now, Xu Xing really can’t let “Joy of Life” fast forward to the second season of the previous life’s clever contest in the first season.

The greater the status, the greater the responsibility.

This time, Xu Xing should take on this responsibility!
