The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 258 Everyone is at the table!

"That newspaper is one of the mouthpieces of the other side of the island province, and they are really going to start targeting you. Now they can't wait to jump out before "Witness" is officially released.

"But for now, they definitely don't have any substantive dirt on you. They can only use the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor as an excuse. They are obviously furious. So you should be more cautious during this period, especially have less dealings with the island province.

"As for the Internet, apart from the haters in the fan circle who are staring at you and biting you, most netizens agree that it is the other side who is deliberately smearing you. You don't have to worry too much about these things.

"And their actions against you are also seen by the higher-ups. President Qu asked me to tell you that if you are an open-minded person, all evil will naturally retreat, not to mention that you have a strong motherland behind you. Got it.

"Speaking of which, why does Ms. Qu always ask me to pass messages to you? Has she forgotten your phone number?"

Liu Cheng finally complained.

"She called me and told me."

Xu Xing asked curiously.

Well, in a pretentious tone, Xu Xing couldn't let Liu Cheng think that there was any ambiguity between him and her.

I don't know what Qu Mingzhen has been thinking recently. He suddenly stopped contacting her unilaterally and asked Liu Cheng and Ma Fanshu to pass on the message. Yesterday, Ma Fanshu came over and praised Qu for his good vision in investing in "The Invisible Guardian" and for the beautifully done project.

"Okay, are you sure you don't want to attend the live broadcast event of the creator of "The Invisible Guardian"?"

Liu Cheng asked.

"If I go, I will steal the show."

Xu Xing said.

When the film was first released, Xu Xingxiu only needed to show her presence, but now the spotlight should be given back to the actors.

So far, all the actors in this game have received bonuses far beyond Xu Xing's expectations.

The one who contributed the most was the male lead Li Jiulin.

Although there are many popular science articles on the Internet saying that PPTs like "The Invisible Guardian" only conceal the actors' acting skills to the greatest extent, it does not affect netizens from calling Li Jiulin, who plays the male lead Xiao Tu, a treasure male god. They also joked that they used to think that Xingdi Studio only signed beautiful women, but they didn't expect that they had such a big treasure hidden.

Compared with other popular young actors on the market, Li Jiulin has a different style in handsome appearance, and his character can be described as invincible, beautiful, strong and tragic. The game itself is about him.

Handsome, touching, and approachable, plus everyone knows that no matter how much he is criticized, he really has no shortage of resources, so the number of fans who buy his shares at the speed of light is exaggerated.

Last year, 2017, was the year when Xu Xing was invincible, and it was also the year when the old top-tier structure collapsed. Countless fans who had just crawled out of the ruins of their former idol and didn't want to go to Fan Xing anymore were all looking forward to the rise of a new top-tier idol in 2018.

Originally, they thought that they would have to wait until the broadcast of "Idol Producer" and "The Untamed" before new top stars would emerge.

However, the popularity of "The Invisible Guardian" has won Li Jiulin a good impression among many parents, even though it is just a "deviant" game. But how many people have such a high-profile work?
——In fact, even if the game has sold millions of copies, the number of people who have watched it, including all the people who have completed it online, is not as many as the small hit TV series. However, almost all the audiences of "The Invisible Guardian" will speak out online, so it seems that the volume of the topic and the degree of popularity are several levels higher.

Moreover, after checking his "background", it was found that Comrade Li Jiulin, apart from this game "The Invisible Guardian", was signed to Xingchu Studio for two years. With such good conditions, he was not given any important resources.

She can really be said to be a pure and innocent beauty who has not been tainted by happiness!
Buy and buy!
Enter the pit at the speed of light!
Lie on the wall first!
...Wait until there is a better one in the future and then decide whether to change it.

So within just one week of the game’s release, Li Jiulin’s Weibo followers increased 60 times! The original 50 fans expanded directly to 3000 million - Liu Cheng was really bold, but he also had a lot of live fans.

Originally, there were only a few dozen replies to his Weibo, and most of them were bored people checking in and urging him to "work hard, Dasha."

Now Li Jiulin already has a Weibo post with over a million replies - Liu Cheng is really brave enough to comment, I sigh again!
Yesterday, Liu Cheng was still on the phone regretting that he had not anticipated the popularity of "The Invisible Guardian" and had not arranged good inventory for Li Jiulin. If there was any drama with a good production and a male lead, he would have dared to contact Li Jiulin to arrange the top five covers - of course, Xu Xing would have to be tied to it.

Therefore, Li Jiulin's current popularity is actually very fake.

There is no stock, the acting is average, and the most anticipated show by show fans "Idol Producer" and the most anticipated show in the gay circle "The Untamed" are coming soon. One can foresee at a glance that the bubble will be burst soon.

——This is also the reason why Xu Xing was surprised that Liu Cheng’s note was so exaggerated. It was obviously forcing things to happen, but Liu Cheng wanted Li Jiulin to be on the table in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Li Jiulin, who is facing more scrutiny, must work harder if he wants to gain a foothold in the future.

But after all, from this moment on, he officially had his own name in the entertainment industry.

The person who benefited the second most from the game bonuses was naturally Chen Yuqi, who was rising rapidly thanks to Zhao Min.

She played the soul of the game, Fang Min, and now she is even more popular.

When Fang Min first appeared, she gave people a slightly soft impression. In the middle period, she seemed paranoid. In the later period, she turned evil on the surface, but in fact, she took the infamy and guarded silently with firm beliefs, and finally ended up sacrificing herself.

Her fans feel that this character actually has a similar core to Zhao Min. Both of them have the "Min" in their names. But didn't Zhao Min also betray everyone for Zhang Wuji and bear the infamy?

I have to say, Chen Yuqi really attracted many fans.

A short essay arguing the similarities between Zhao Min and Fang Min, with more than 1 words, connects the two works together and draws traffic to each other.

Fans with this level of production ability are extremely important backbones in every fan circle!

It’s a pity that the level is a bit low.

Fang Min is a great national hero in the game, and Zhao Min is just a rare figure in the Yuan Dynasty. How dare you say that they are similar?
King Oyster Mushroom, together with the black fans who quickly seized the opportunity to attack Chen Yuqi, concentrated their attacks on the essay and then on Chen Yuqi herself.

——Chen Yuqi thanked King Oyster Mushroom to Xu Xing on WeChat, because she said that she read the essay and felt it made a lot of sense. She was also planning to talk about Zhao Min and Fang Min in the interview, but fortunately she was stopped.

But this was just a harmless incident.

There are film and television works being broadcast, and Chen Yuqi’s exposure is much more real than Li Jiulin’s.

Of course there are risks.

With Zhao Min's satisfactory completion, coupled with the super amplification of her acting skills by the game PPT, Chen Yuqi is now also labeled as an acting talent.

Xu Xing knew very well that, at least in her previous life, Chen Yuqi's acting skills were not something to brag about.

When her next female lead drama is aired, she will definitely receive more criticism.

We can only hope that her accumulation of experience over the past period of time, coupled with learning in some excellent crews, will help her improve her acting skills.

Then, Meng Ziyi’s bonus was also exceptionally large.

Even on the first day when marketing accounts were saying that this game didn’t reflect acting skills, they specifically used her as an example - "Even if others don’t say it, doesn’t everyone know how bad Meng Ziyi’s acting skills were before?"

But it did not affect the early Junko-chan who was soon offline, and the character she played, Zhuang Xiaoman, became the most popular character in the game.

It's really hard not to like this bad woman who is both good and evil, both an enemy and a friend, beautiful and charming.

Meng Ziyi is also the biggest beneficiary of this "acting" mode.

Because Xu Xing has experienced this too many times, now Meng Ziyi's charm is really completely captured by the camera. The charm she creates on her own is particularly dull, not to mention it doesn't taste right, it also looks extremely deliberate.

Xu Xing guessed that Meng Ziyi might be nervous in front of him, but he had already developed her thoroughly and played everything with her. The only thing left to unlock was the team achievement. What was there to be nervous about?
I always feel that Meng Ziyi is silly in front of me...

I really have to thank director Xin Shuang, he has taken countless amazing pictures that have been recommended by many people. All the actors and actresses were photographed at their peak in terms of appearance and acting skills in this game. Any picture can be used as a wallpaper.

Because of Zhuang Xiaoman's outstanding performance, many people are now speaking up for Meng Ziyi. Maybe her acting skills have really improved? The fans who originally cried bitterly after the official announcement of "Eastern Palace" and wailed about what sin Xiaofeng had committed, that in the book her whole family was killed by a bastard, and outside the book she was abused by an internet celebrity with rich resources, suddenly felt that the pain in their hearts was relieved a lot, and began to look forward to the possibility.

Meng Ziyi has been criticized so much in the past. Not to mention her artificiality outside the play, the main reason is that her internet celebrity face is not that good-looking in the drama, and sometimes it looks out of place.

Now "The Invisible Guardian" at least proves that Meng Ziyi has an amazingly beautiful appearance.

Don’t let “Eastern Palace” down!

Many marketing accounts took the opportunity to boast that Meng Ziyi is the most beautiful among the 95 flowers. In the comment section, except for some Xu Xing fans who complained, the vast majority of netizens agreed and took the initiative to refute Xu Xing fans - "Although the bad woman had plastic surgery, she is really beautiful. Which star doesn't have plastic surgery?"

After all, the oldest of the 95 flowers just graduated last year and has not yet celebrated her 23rd birthday. Not many of them have the resume like Meng Ziyi, who has played supporting female roles in many hit dramas.

When marketing accounts mentioned the 95 flowers, netizens really couldn’t remember who they were for a moment.

In the Hupu forum, Meng Ziyi has also become the JRS' favorite bad wife.

The final glimpse of Zhang Ruonan, Bai Yueguang’s stunning beauty, was also extremely stunning.

Even before her movie was released, she had already left a very good impression on netizens, washing away some of the marks of being an internet celebrity, and people began to say, "I've long said that Xiao Zhang is really suitable for acting."

On Tik Tok, her popularity is even more terrifying.

Within a week, multiple videos received over 10 million likes.

Netizens are full of expectations for her performance in the entertainment industry.

To sum up, this game not only made Xu Xing a lot of money, but also allowed several contracted artists of the studio to have a chance to join the fun!
Yang Mi was so envious that she called Xu Xing to tell him that Jiaxing was already investigating and preparing to purchase some copyrights of Orange Light games to make the Jiaxing gift package.

Low cost - however, after the success of "The Invisible Guardian", the price of the IP also increased. The effect of promoting people is amazing, and it can make a lot of money.

Jiaxing started the big gift package track early, but unexpectedly, the pinnacle of the big gift package was a game from Xu Xing Studio.

Liu Cheng also told Xu Xing that Jiaxing had asked him about their experience.

However, Xu Xing is not optimistic about the future of interactive games adapted from other IPs in the film and television industry.

In the final analysis, the success of "The Invisible Guardian" is due to its solid script, the natural advantages of the spy war theme, and most fundamentally, and also criticized by black fans, it is that it is eating patriotic food.

With these factors, as well as the presence of top-tier traffic like Xu Xing, and the timing of Chen Yuqi's explosion specifically aligned with the broadcast of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", the effect looks so good.

Low cost means that only a wave of new players can be exploited. If no one in this wave of new players becomes popular, the future games will be a mess.

Therefore, the popularity of "The Invisible Guardian" will stimulate the industry's interest like in the previous life, but after discussion, it will definitely cool down again, leaving only a few small companies to continue to think about this "path".

The evening live broadcast was of several actors eating at the table.

Now Xu Xing just brags about himself in the press releases, and there is no need for him to be exposed in this kind of occasion, singing and dancing in front of several actors, letting them brag about how awesome he is.

Although he did not participate in the live broadcast, Xu Xing also watched the live broadcast in the evening with the assistance of Li Yitong.

As instructed beforehand, talk less about your understanding of the characters and more about the interesting experiences during the filming process. As long as you suppress the urge to show off, you won't fail miserably.

After watching them, Xu Xing felt that the relationship between them was really good.

When they talked about the funny things that happened at that time, they were in great harmony and laughed in unison.

Li Jiulin felt a little restrained, not sure if it was because he knew that the three women were the boss's.

Finally, after drinking the milk, Li Yitong sighed and praised the good atmosphere in Xu Xing's studio. She reiterated that if she had known earlier, she would have joined Xu Xing.

This live broadcast gave netizens the same impression.

Such a loving company!
Isn’t the team led by Director Cheng very good?

Why does King Oyster Mushroom chase them and criticize them every day?

As netizens were sighing in their hearts, the host "made a big deal" by cueing the King Oyster Mushroom.

Of course, I didn't mention it directly, but I asked them if they had heard the nicknames "Dasha, Daya, Erya, Sanya".

Several people burst into laughter instantly.

Netizens couldn't hold back their laughter.

Everyone was laughing.

The King Oyster Mushrooms squatting in the live broadcast room were laughing so hard that their faces turned red!

Furious!

fly into a rage!

Then Daya Chen Yuqi came out to speak on her behalf and said that she was actually very grateful to those who called her Daya because they were a spur and encouragement to her.

Others followed suit and expressed their gratitude.

Behaved extremely decently.

The King Oyster Mushroom had no choice but to take to Weibo to take the opportunity to "stigmatize" and mock the despicable people in the King Oyster Mushroom group.

Xu Xing and Li Yitong also laughed for a long time.

Well, "The Invisible Guardian" is a big hit, so it’s time to laugh and have fun.

What Golden Horse and Water Emperor, they are on the other side's blacklist and are actually not worth mentioning at all.

If you have a hammer, use it, stop talking nonsense!
Who are you scaring?

……

2 month 13 day.

The Spring Festival Gala program team held their final rehearsal.

After participating in the rehearsal, Xu Xing did not return to the crew because the Spring Festival Gala was officially held on the 15th and "Detective Chinatown 16" was officially released on the 2th.

"The Invisible Guardian" is their stage, and these belong to Xu Xing.

　Only 4k, 8k to go, not quite there yet, but I feel like I’m getting close to resurrection…

　　Thanks to the monthly ticket of the Explosive Monkey in the Galaxy! Thanks to everyone for the recommendation votes and subscriptions!
