The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 316 The First Concert
After "Something just like this" was released, Xu Xing stayed in his villa in Los Angeles for three days.

During these three days, the song’s paid downloads have exceeded a terrifying 35, Spotify’s US playback volume has reached 900 million, and the total global playback volume is approaching 1 million!
The number of plays of "Unfiltered" exceeded 1 million on the second day, becoming the fastest single to reach million in Spotify history!

Although the public opinion storm caused by that report on European and American social media has subsided, fans all over the world are still trying their best to fight for Xu Xing and let people all over the world see that Xu Xing has so many people supporting him!

You dare to touch him and see!!!

It’s just like the scene when Taylor Swift released “Look You What Made Me Do” last year.

In addition, the previous explosive topic volume also attracted a lot of passers-by listeners.

At that time, Xu Xing's single was about to be released and the publicity was everywhere. The New York Times said that Xu Xing was committing cultural invasion, so they subconsciously thought that it was referring to this song. After all, there was really no sound of invasion in Xu Xing's two previous number one singles, and they were rather very Western music.

Many people listened to the song as soon as the single was released - after all, it was at the top of the recommendation lists on various streaming platforms. They wanted to see how Xu Xing from China made his mark.

The result is a song like this, which is quite touching to listen to… I didn’t expect that The New York Times would sell Achilles, Superman and Batman to China.

——From the next day, the stars began to spread this joke all over the European and American social media, mocking the New York Times. European and American netizens were also very upset by this angle. Even though they felt that Xu Xing should speak out and clarify that he was not a tool of China's invasion, they also felt that this matter was a farce from beginning to end.

So with the joint support of fans and passers-by netizens, the data of "something just like this" is even higher than the peak of "shape of you".

There is no doubt that it will be the top singles title!

Therefore, three days later, the original promotional schedules began to contact Xu Xing's team again, indicating that the hype had passed and Xu Xing could continue to promote.

But the reply was that Xu Xing, who had re-planned his publicity schedule, no longer had time.

Well, on the fourth day, Xu Xing arranged an impromptu street concert in Times Square in New York.

Just like the live broadcast on the night the single was released, there was no prior notice and it was directly broadcast on the streets. Of course, this time, a surprise live broadcast was also held on YouTube and TikTok.

Stars all over the world have been wondering when Xu Xing will hold a concert. In the comment section of Xu Xing’s social media, messages expressing anticipation for the concert always easily receive high likes.

They all felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime series.

After all, Xu Xing himself responded in an interview that he could only guarantee that he would hold a concert before retiring.

He is even unwilling to hold fan meetings now.

Moreover, he is so talented, but he is not very active in releasing songs, or even chaotic. Most of the dozen songs he has released are OSTs for TV dramas and commercials. After four years of debut, he has not released a formal album, only a mini EP. It is obvious that Xu Xing's development focus is not on music.

However, while they were looking forward to it, they also expressed their understanding.

Since Xu Xing's debut, she has been very busy and has hardly any rest time. She has been filming for half a year on the set from time to time.

Therefore, we can only imagine for now.

In their imagination, that concert in their lifetime would be held many years after Xu Xing reached the pinnacle of the world.

It must have been extremely grand, able to mobilize tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of fans, because at that time, the whole world would surely be his fans, and the stars in the sky would truly light up the whole world.

It must be very hard to get a ticket. It is very likely that scalpers will drive up the ticket price to hundreds of thousands. Or will the lucky ones crack down on scalpers and draw lots to select the ticket buyers among all the Gypsophila? I dare not imagine how happy the Gypsophila who are drawn will be. That must be because they have used up all their luck in life.

It must have been packed with guests. Celebrities from all over the world were proud to go to that concert. Not only celebrities, but also celebrities from all fields would rush to go, even politicians. Xu Xing must have had that kind of influence at that time.

It must definitely...

Sudden--

[Oh my god! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! !!! Xu Xing suddenly held a concert! !!! Click to enter the live broadcast room and watch online...]

The message was pushed.

After being stunned for a few moments, the stars, who were filled with disbelief and surprise, immediately clicked into the live broadcast room!

Concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It must be fake!!!!
confirmed!
Today is the happiest day of your life!
I am so happy that I am exploding!!!
Can--

His first concert came so suddenly and in such a simple way...

Baby's breath all over the world shed tears.

……

It was windy at night.

The wind is still quite strong.

Xu Xing couldn't help but laugh as she stood on the simple stage.

The number of people gathered in the audience was much greater than expected. It might be that Americans also liked to watch the fun, or it might be that after the team knew of our decision, they mobilized a small group in advance.

But it's always good to have more people come to listen to your singing.

The decision was made suddenly, but fortunately the original promotional schedule included a live performance of the single, so Xu Xing also adjusted the condition of his voice during this period and also carefully prepared several other songs in the past two days.

The main reason for deciding to hold this impromptu concert was that Xu Xing promised to have a live concert to promote the new single.

In order to thank the fans for their support this time, I will sing a few more songs.

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Xing, a singer from China. Thank you for coming to my first concert. This stage is a little simple, but with you standing in the audience and countless of you watching in front of the live broadcast room, this is the best stage."

Xu Xing finished speaking in Chinese first, and then switched to English.

I tried the microphone and speakers, both were fine.

Without further ado, he held the microphone and began to sing. "I've been reading books of old, The legends and the myths, Achilles and his gold..."

Xu Xing had never sung in such an environment before, and her throat was a little tight at the beginning, but the reverberation of the night sky and the blowing of the night breeze made Xu Xing relax quickly.

The atmosphere in the square is very lively.

When the crowd gathered together, many people had not yet recognized who the Asian face on the stage was; they only knew that someone was singing.

When the prelude sounded and the first sentence of the song was sung over the square, they suddenly realized that it was the hottest new song "something just like this"!
The crowd immediately cheered again, jumping and swaying to the rhythm of the music!
The entire night sky began to boil!
Xu Xing also sang more and more passionately.

"...Just something I can turn to somebody I can kiss. I want something just like this!"

In the night sky, the rhythm of the future bass amplified by the speakers pushed forward layer by layer, as if a spring was installed under everyone's feet. Even if you stand in place, you will feel as if your whole body is jumping up.

Xu Xing sang the last sentence of the first chorus with all her strength, and then jumped along with the rhythm on the stage.

All the unhappiness in my heart these days is swept away!

All the troubles brought by a report, the worries that you can't help but have even if you are calm, and all the invisible discrimination, temptations, warnings...all go away!
It turns out that music is the thing that can make people happiest!

"I want something just like this!"

The last sentence of the whole song is sung.

The enthusiastic cheers from the audience resounded throughout the night sky!
More and more people are gathering!

"Thank you. The next song is "Shape of You."

After simply calming his breathing, Xu Xing didn't say anything more and started singing the next song directly.

When they heard the song title, there was another round of cheering.

This was the most popular song in the world last year, and they were looking forward to it after hearing the name, because there were so few live performances of this song.

There are countless people covering countless versions of the song online, but I heard that the original singer went back to China to film a movie?

Now...it turns out that the Asian face on the stage is the original singer!

"Shape of you" and "something just like this" are songs by the same person!
...There is no way to complain too much about this. Many Europeans and Americans are blind to Asian faces. It is common that they can hear the song but cannot recognize the person. Moreover, there are not many people who care about the news reports in real life.

But from today on, this Chinese singer who sang seriously on the stage left the deepest impression in their hearts!
So, starting from the first sentence, the audience sang together!
"The club isn't a best place to find a lover..."

After "Shape of You" is finished, I will briefly thank you again.

Next is "passionfruit", swaying slowly in the night breeze.

After a brief thank you, they continued singing "Love Yourself" again.

After all the English songs were sung, Xu Xing sang a Chinese song, "There Are So Many People in This World".

Somewhat surprisingly, not many people left.

Xu Xing bowed and thanked them for listening. When the performance was over, many people were reluctant to let him go and hoped that Xu Xing could sing one more song.

Xu Xing then sang another song called "Too Bad" because this was the song that Zhang Ruonan sang as the female lead in her MV. She sang it to her several times when she was preparing the song at home.

After the song was finished, the crowd dispersed with great regret.

However, there were still many people waiting beside the stage.

When they saw Xu Xing walk off the stage after the impromptu concert, they immediately surrounded Xu Xing with great excitement, shouting Xu Xing's name loudly, expressing their excitement, praising and encouraging Xu Xing.

"It's really Xu Xing!!!"

"Lucky God, I am full of stars ahhhhhh!!!"

“I’m so lucky!!!”

"Come on Xu Xing!!!"

"Xu Xing, you are the best!"

"Xu Xing, don't mind their suppression. You are the pride of us Asians! We will always support you!"

A mixture of Chinese and English.

A variety of faces.

Xu Xing thanked them repeatedly.

Then, autographs and photos.

It was a long time later, when the makeshift stage had been almost cleaned up, that Xu Xing said goodbye to them.

After getting into the car, I heard the loudest shout -

“The stars light up the whole world!!!”

　It's a bit messy, I'll post it first and then revise it.
