The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 24 Let’s Choose a Stage Name

"I found that many people on the forum are speaking up for you, the boss."

"Oh."

Xu Xing didn't care.

He was so "generous" that he allowed them to have fun for a month and produce some solid works. He did not make any trouble and did not even appear on any variety shows. He just released songs quietly.

However, they were criticized by the fans of the young handsome guys they hated the most, and no fans came out to defend them.

It is normal for those Abstract Corps preparatory students who are not active on Weibo now and will soon uninstall Weibo to have a good impression of Xu Xing.

Even the pictures in Xing Bar are the ones they post most enthusiastically.

They are part of the vast group of passers-by who resisted traffic when the first wave of young and handsome men arrived at the beginning of this traffic era, and they will also be the main force of resistance in the future.

The other part is the silent majority. They will not speak now and will remain silent in the future. At most, they will click "like" and silently vote with their playback volume and purchasing power.

Fans of the two top stars scolded Xu Xing for being a freeloader. Now Xu Xing is indeed not a fresh and handsome guy like Lu Han and Chris Wu.

It will not be until the release of "My Girlhood" next year that Xu Xing will transform himself into a popular young star.

Before that, Xu Xing was just a singer who was cyberbullied by young fans.

"You look much prettier in this outfit," Xu Xing looked at Chen Qian in front of him, "but it seems to be a bit too much of a distraction."

She wore a white school uniform pleated skirt, a floppy princess hairstyle with a red bow, and after putting on makeup, her lips were red, her teeth were white, her face was fair, and her arms and legs were slender and tender.

Her whole body is full of youthful vitality, except for her somewhat embarrassed expression and unnatural blush on her cheeks, she looks much more like a school belle than the second female lead.

"You wear the bow yourself? I think you should wear it on your collar."

Xu Xing was a little curious.

“…It’s a stylist.”

Chen Qian was so embarrassed that her face turned even redder.

Just now the stylist was wondering why the bow was a little small and had no clip. In the end, she found a way to fix it with a small clip and a rubber band.

"Not bad," Xu Xing nodded in affirmation, "but I think you should change your hairstyle to something more neutral. Can you cut your hair into medium-short hair?"

"Sure," Chen Qian nodded immediately, and added in a low voice, "But I haven't tried it."

Although Xu Xing hadn't said it directly, she knew that the type of this school uniform was exactly the same as the one to be used in the upcoming filming. Xu Xing asked her to do the styling so that he must have arranged a role for her in the movie.

"Well, ask her to change it for you later. You can make it a bit more fashionable first, so you can learn to dress like that later. Then you can make it a simple and plain one like a middle school student, for your filming."

Xu Xing smiled.

"Oh oh," Chen Qian just nodded before she realized, "I want to film!"

His eyes lit up.

Even though she had guessed it just now, she was still very excited.

Although she is now becoming more and more familiar with the work assigned to her by Xu Xing, she has not forgotten her dream of making movies.

"Well, actually it's just a minor role. I may be on screen for less than five minutes and have less than five lines. I mentioned it to Director Chen yesterday and she agreed."

"It's okay. I'm very happy to have a role in a play!" Chen Qian said happily, "Thank you, boss!"

Joyful and lively, with high spirits.

Finally, Xu Xing felt that she had some celebrity qualities.

"Let's have a stage name when we act."

Xu Xing suggested. "I also feel that my name is a bit ordinary, but I don't know what stage name to choose..."

"How about calling her Chen Yuqi? Yu means beautiful and graceful, Qi means gorgeous."

"……it is good."

……

After Chen Yuqi left, Xu Xing took out his cell phone and checked Weibo.

A day passed, and after deleting a few insults from some bored fans of the two top-tier platforms and SM's extreme family, the top comments became unusually clean.

The front row of 5+ comments are all "Finally posted on Weibo! [Laughing and crying]", "Lucky God!", "Looking forward to the new song!", "The two songs in Fleet of Time are so tear-jerking! [Crying]"...

It seems that Xu Xing has gained quite a bit of popularity.

——You can keep those comments to sell out the misery of being scolded 5 times, but there is no need. First, it will appear more deliberate, and second, Xu Xing also needs to start accumulating positive popularity to pave the way for future development plans.

If there is any more friction in the future, those black fans will come and scold Xu Xing even more fiercely. Now we need to let the fans come out and breathe.

In fact, if they hadn't bought trending searches to mock and found marketing accounts to "bring up old things", and had explained why #许幸發微博了# became a trending search, and brought up Lu Han and Chris Wu again, there would probably be fewer people coming to scold them.

Now when searching Xu Xing’s topic forum, the two top fans are all telling the sisters to stop giving Xu Xing this ruthless look, and then cursing a few words of bad luck at the end.

——The most despicable thing about this guy Xu Xing is that he just took advantage of her, but he even got his brother into trouble and got scolded by passers-by!
So Xu Xing found the debut Weibo of Fresh Geek Boys two days ago and reposted it to test it, and posted the second Weibo of this account - [Smooth debut, big hit! ]

As expected, out of the first 100 comments, less than 10 were cursing Xu Xing.

The rest are "Brother, you are so handsome!", "Brother, you are so good at writing songs. It breaks my heart to hear you. [Heartbroken]", "You will be famous too!", "When will you release a new song?"

And "You two brothers have such a great relationship. Thank you on behalf of Xiaohou!"

Well, this boy group is the one that Hou Minghao is in. Its members include Zeng Shunxi, who later often played martial arts and ancient costume dramas, and Zhang Wuji in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, who was played by Chen Yuqi as Zhao Min.

——Later, there was an internal fight in their company, with the two relatively popular members belonging to two different factions fighting each other.

Maybe because Hou Minghao got involved in the quarrel last time and gained some popularity, the group's album release time was brought forward.

But taking the Weibo post forwarded by Xu Xing as an example, after a few days, the number of comments barely exceeded a thousand, and it was still very obscure and no one cared.

While browsing Weibo, Xu Xing received a call from Liu Cheng.

"Meituan has approved your PSA copy, and now they are telling me they are lucky to have you as their spokesperson. So, do you want to come back to shoot this ad? They said it will be ready within two days, and if you come back for one day, the ad will be ready.

"My opinion is that you should come back and take the opportunity to practice singing with Han Hong a few more times. This is a good opportunity to show your face before the Spring Festival Gala. You didn't even shoot the MV for "It's a pity there are no ifs" before. This kind of public service advertisement can win goodwill, there is no need to give it to others."

Liu Cheng advised on the phone.

"I originally thought they wouldn't accept it. OK, I'll ask Director Chen for another leave."

Xu Xing smiled.

When Xu Xing knew that Meituan would shoot another public service advertisement to support the cause, or to take advantage of Xu Xing's popularity on the Spring Festival Gala, he wanted to seize this opportunity to show his face.

However, when shooting the last endorsement advertisement, Xu Xing could feel that Meituan was still somewhat resistant to him being forced to be the spokesperson.

So when Xu Xing took down the Baidu Takeout advertisement "Life is But More Than 76000 Meals" which was very popular in his previous life and asked Liu Cheng to take it, he felt that the hope of passing was slim.

I don’t know if Yu Murong has exerted his strength again.

But it stands to reason that a star with a good image and temperament who only needs 300 million yuan for endorsement fees and can also write songs and create advertising copy will be popular wherever he goes.

Is there such a perfect spokesperson?
