The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 297 I don’t think he does, do you think he does?

"Is Xu Xing really rich?"

Li Chenxi was very curious.

"Of course," Xing Xin nodded. "Why do you ask this? But Xu Xing's wealth is not entirely from film pay and endorsements. He makes more money from investments.

"The money earned from the TV series "Want to See You" that will be aired in the summer is more than his total salary in these years. So, there is no need for him to do illegal things like tax evasion.

"And there is a consensus in the industry that even if Xu Xing's pay is really high, he deserves more. Whatever he plays becomes a hit, and that's his reputation. Therefore, he basically brings in investment now."

"You are worthy of being called the God of Fortune!" Wang Yuyu exclaimed proudly, "Then Sister Xin, can you reveal the next film of the God of Fortune? This is not against the rules, right?"

Blessings come and misfortunes come.

For Wang Yu, after being punched and kicked at the disastrous first public recording of "Idol Producer" a month ago, it was really worth it to finally gain a good sister like Xing Xin!

Well... I even think it would be better if they were sent to the hospital for minor injuries, because I got confirmation from Sister Xin that Xu Xing did go to the hospital to see the two fans in person.

I shouldn't have forced myself to say that I was fine and gave the ambulance to the sisters who needed it more. That way, I could have unlocked the achievement of going to the hospital again after going to the police station for Xu Xing.

But fortunately, Sister Xin!

Finally got to know Sister Xin!
Sister Xin is such a good sister!
After learning that an accident had occurred at the recording site, Sister Xin rushed over and expressed her concern for the two!
Naturally, we had dinner together that day, and Sister Xin even booked a room for us!

After that, I got into a steady relationship with Sister Xin.

Facts have proved that Sister Xin is indeed busy. It’s not that she is unwilling to acknowledge Li Chenxi as her sister. She just has countless things to do every day.

Today, after knowing that Wang Yu and Li Chenxi had gone to set up camp at the Mantianxing Base outside the recording base, I came over to check on them.

Naturally, we started talking about the hottest topic on the Internet right now.

The sky-high pay for films has always been the focus of attention from above and the focus of netizens' indignation.

Before, people just cursed a few times, spitting on the fact that those with no acting skills were making so much money, and lamenting that the entertainment industry was really going to end.

However, seeing that the higher-ups have been criticizing and issuing opinions and regulations, I feel that the situation may improve.

But after this exposure, netizens were shocked to realize that this is how things work in the entertainment industry.

It completely exploded.

The pay is already so high, yet you are still not satisfied!
Is there a policy from the top and a countermeasure from the bottom?

They even evade taxes and get more!

In addition, marketing accounts have been spreading knowledge about various industry chaos, such as opening a studio to avoid taxes, and other positions in the crew besides actors to receive double pay...

Xu Xing, who opened a studio right after his debut and was listed as a screenwriter in name only and in the past two years has also started to be listed as a nominal producer, was perfectly matched.

Actors, screenwriters, and producers, that’s three different salaries!

Not only did the haters become more and more agitated the more they thought about it, but netizens also felt something was not right the more they thought about it.

In the past, when Xu Xing’s “pay myth” occasionally circulated, they would feel that she was worthy of being Xu Xing, but they also felt that it was made up by black fans.

After the financial reports of several listed film and television companies are released, proving that a bunch of "obscure idiots" have tens of millions in pay, then our only super-top star, world superstar, the pride of China and Asia, Xu Xing, should get several times the pay, right?
But how did he get the 70% and 40% pay limits?

Fortunately, one day, after the Weibo post of Niu Ma 555 was released, the speed at which it spread directly exceeded the speed at which the stars reported it.

A large number of netizens spoke in the comment area and topic forum, saying that although they were casual fans of Xu Xing and thought his works were excellent, his pay was still too high.

Some black fans even took the opportunity to say that it was because King Xu raised the ceiling of domestic entertainment too high that other stars were able to benefit from it, and that King Xu proved his worth by causing the entertainment industry's pay to soar, which is why King Xu is so popular in the circle and everyone praises and licks his reputation whenever they mention him.

It was extremely stupid, but it was very witty, and it was spread as a joke, and many netizens actually believed it...

As more and more people started to talk about it, it became harder and harder for Mantianxing to control the situation. Moreover, this act of blocking people's opinions aroused rebellion: No wonder they could afford so many online trolls with their sky-high pay! Since they have nothing to lose and have a clear conscience, what's wrong with us talking about it?
Wang Yu was so angry that she dragged Li Chenxi to the Mantianxing base to find a sense of identity.

As a result, there was no one at the base... Xu Xing went to the United States...

After meeting Sister Xin and listening to what she said, Wang Yu finally felt completely at peace.

Wang Yu didn't suspect Xu Xing of tax evasion, but was worried that he was framed by others, or that Cheng Chu might have done something shady behind Xu Xing's back?
Thank goodness!

"It's true that I'm in contact with 'Fang Hua'. I'll probably act in it. I don't know anything else."

Xing Xin said as she glanced at her phone.

"Okay, I still have things to do here. I'll have the company car take you away in a bit. Hurry back to school. You're so old, but you're still so crazy about chasing stars. If you do this again next time, I won't see you anymore."

Xing Xin could see that this sister's best friend Wang Yu had a high demand for gossip about her, and the conditions she put forward were simple and direct.

"Um... Sister, don't you see me either?"

Li Chenxi scratched his head.

"Pfft~"

Wang Yu smiled.

Xing Xin was also a little speechless. Sister Chenxi was good in every other way except that she was a little silly.

"You can call Wang Yu sister!"

He implicitly criticized her for listening to Wang Yu in everything.

"Hahaha, Chenxi keeps calling me sister, Sister Xin. Sister Xin, Sister Xin, we will definitely be obedient in the future, but can you please satisfy my last curiosity? Please!"

Wang Yu pleaded.

"Ask first."

Xing Xin felt helpless.

"It's the same question as last time. Yukigami, are you in a relationship now?"

Wang Yu asked cautiously.

"..."

Xing Xin got up and left.

But what she didn't expect was that Wang Yu actually grabbed her.

"Please! Instead of a direct answer, just give me a hint! Just a hint that lets me guess whatever I want!"

"..." Xing Xin looked up at the sky speechlessly, "I don't think he has, do you think he has?"

After saying that, Xing Xin pulled his arm away and left.

He added as he walked away.

"The car will be here in about five minutes, let's go back to school!"

"I know, sister!"

Li Chenxi responded loudly.

When I turned around again, Wang Yu was biting his lips and muttering to himself.

"Sister Xin means that I doubt Xu Xing? She knows that Xu Xing is not in a relationship, but my fan doesn't believe it? Is that right..."

"Yes!"

Li Chenxi immediately gave an affirmative reply and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

It's finally confirmed!
My bestie is a girlfriend fan!

Speaking of which, after the first public performance of "Idol Producer" where Mantianxing made a big fuss, Wang Yu said that one should not be too crazy about chasing stars, so she changed the habit of calling him Haohao.

Maybe it’s also because I had a lot of communication with Zhen Wei’s mature fan.

Anyway, Wang Yu is much more rational now.

Finally it was confirmed that his girlfriend is a fan, it was so funny!
It’s not that girlfriend fans are funny, but it’s funny that someone as impetuous as Wang Yu is a girlfriend fan.

Li Chenxi felt that the girl Xu Xing liked must be a quiet girl like herself.

"Before you said that you had pure love for Xu Xing, but you are obviously also a girlfriend fan!"

Li Chenxi laughed directly.

"… Mainly because Zhen Wei admitted that Xu Xing has always been in a relationship, which I don't quite believe," Wang Yu explained, then sighed, "Okay, I admit it, but what's wrong with being a girlfriend fan?"

"nothing."

Li Chenxi said immediately.

"Yes," Wang Yu nodded, "Of all the reasons for liking someone, the stupidest one is to only say that you like him because you see him getting better and better. You obviously like him, but you still refuse to admit it!" "Yes."

Li Chenxi nodded.

The car is coming.

The two got into the car.

When driving on the highway, Wang Yu looked out the car window at the earth illuminated by the spring sunshine, and suddenly felt emotional.

"Oh, I'm thinking back to the trainee who was dancing on the street that day. I should have stopped the car and given him a ride. Thinking about it again, it was really great. Such pure passion, such a sincere dream... but it's a pity that he was eliminated."

……

Teacher Fan has returned to China.

Anna was finally satisfied with the results of the shooting on the second day, but she still wanted Xu Xing to shoot for another day.

Without Teacher Fan, there would be one less thing to enjoy.

There are still many voices on the Internet that criticize me, so there is no point in Xu Xing surfing the Internet.

After all, Xu Xing did receive the sky-high salary, and only the salary for two variety shows was high, which was equivalent to the sponsor paying Xu Xing the endorsement fee, but he received it in a very decent manner.

It is precisely because the money made in the domestic entertainment industry is so outrageous that Xu Xing has firmly settled down in it for both of his lifetimes and has been enjoying life there.

Of course, Xu Xing was enjoyed by life in his previous life.

So Xu Xing mainly chatted with Zhen Huaiwei to relieve his boredom.

Zhen Huaiwei, who served as temporary visual consultant, also came to the United States because she provided suggestions and visual effects for the hairpin style.

Her daughter Zhen Wei is studying in the United States, and she happened to be here to see her daughter.

In fact, chatting with Zhen Huaiwei is more interesting than chatting with Teacher Fan.

When Xu Xing was with Teacher Fan, her topic was extremely simple, just discussing how to play: clothes, makeup, props, scenes, knowledge...

When chatting with Zhen Huaiwei, we only talk about serious things.

First, we exchange work ideas, then we share interests and hobbies, and then we exchange aesthetic opinions. The little stories in life are also quite interesting, and occasionally I can hear her complain about her daughter.

To be honest, Ms. Zhen Huaiwei has the youngest mentality among the few people. And because she is not a celebrity, she does not need to stay up late from time to time or put on heavy makeup, so she takes the best care of herself.

As a painter of some fame, she has a strong artistic atmosphere over the years, but she is not always artistic.

When she was chatting with Xu Xing, she was actually trying to be relaxed and lively. Occasionally, Xu Xing would turn his head and see her in a quiet trance, and she would feel like a perfect statue.

Of course, there is also the most basic and most important thing for those who love appearance - appearance, which made Xu Xing sigh with admiration.

Therefore, in all aspects, Ms. Zhen is an extremely charming woman.

But she has a daughter who is very restless, and this is what makes Xu Xing sigh.

Ms. Zhen was in a trance again, but unlike her most common state of emptying herself, this time there was a hint of sadness in her trance.

Alas, the sadness is getting stronger.

Suddenly, the statue's perfect face turned around, as if it wanted to smile but couldn't.

“So it’s better to be a star.”

Ms. Zhen said softly.

"Ok?"

Xu Xing expressed doubts.

"Celebrities seem to be more beautiful than ordinary people, right?"

Her eyes were bright but a little sad.

"Uh... No, Sister Wei, you are prettier than her."

Xu Xing said immediately.

"Then why..." Zhen Huaiwei sighed, "Originally I thought..."

"..."

Xu Xing was also very sad.

There was silence for a while.

Ms. Zhen spoke softly.

"I complained about Weiwei so many times just to say that she is very obedient and she will support me."

"..." Xu Xing was really embarrassed and awkward, "But there's no way I can marry you, Sister Wei."

Then let’s have a chat!
"..." Zhen Huaiwei frowned slightly, her eyes were surprised, "Puchi~"

She finally couldn't help laughing.

"You are not such an innocent little boy."

"Forehead……"

Xu Xing felt even more embarrassed.

But she first said that her daughter supported it.

Xu Xing was silent in awkward silence.

Ms. Zhen smiled silently.

It was as if the burden in her chest had finally been cleared away, and she smiled more easily and charmingly than ever before.

She smiled for a while, her lips slightly curled, and her tone was a little complaining.

"Do you want me to say it?"

"Forehead……"

Xu Xing scratched his head and finally coughed lightly.

Respond softly.

"I thought you heard."

……

"That Wang Yu is so interesting. She told me that her best friend's sister who is a senior executive at Zhengrong replied to her, saying that Xu Xing is not in a relationship. Maybe she was in a relationship before, but not now.

"I asked her, if Xu Xing falls in love, will you stop being her fan? She hasn't replied to me yet. I thought she would reply immediately, 'I will always support Haohao.'"

Zhen Wei smiled.

In fact, when Zhen Wei chatted with Wang Yu at the beginning, she had no intention of persuading the other party to stop being a fan of Xu Xing, but Wang Yu asked her about her mental journey of stopping being a fan of Chris, and asked her what the difference was between being a fan of Chris and being a fan of Xu Xing.

As she spoke, Zhen Wei gave a comprehensive account of the new level of celebrity status she had reached.

Admit that stars have shortcomings, and they are not the kind that are harmless. Their works are more worthy of fans than the stars themselves. It’s no big deal to stop being fans. Fans of stars should never wrong themselves...

Wang Yu is becoming more and more...unsteady?
Xin Youqing and Zhen Wei laughed together for a while.

"By the way, aren't you going to call your aunt?"

Xin Youqing reminded.

"Oh oh! I almost forgot!"

Zhen Wei slapped her head, quickly picked up her phone and dialed the number.

It rang for a long time, but no one answered.

But it is not uncommon that when Ms. Zhen is painting, no one can disturb her.

Half an hour later, I called again. The call rang for a long time, but finally got through.

"Hello~"

Ms. Zhen’s voice is so sweet today!
