The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 380 From Top Artist to Top Capital
"I can't control him. He didn't inform me when he came back from Korea. He made all his own decisions after his debut. Liu Cheng also said that he felt like his assistant. Mingzhen has always wanted to recommend him to act in Director Zhang and Director Chen's movies, but he always said that he didn't want us to worry too much. It's like he told me that he wanted to prove himself, but in fact, he just wants others to listen to him."

Yu Murong smiled.

He totally ignored the wonderful expression on Xu Xing's face.

"It's a good thing to have your own opinions," Chen Xi laughed. "Xiao Xing is not being willful or foolish."

Producer Chen Xi, who had just finished filming "Accidental Murder" and was waiting for the film to be released, heard that Xu Xing's next work was going to be a TV series instead of a movie, so he wanted to talk to Xu Xing again to understand his ideas for future development.

It just so happened that Xu Xing's sister Yu Murong was also taking a break recently, so Chen Xi went to visit her directly.

She had dealt with Yu Murong and Qu Mingzhen before, but in order to get closer to them, she still had to visit them more often, especially those who could come to her home.

Chen Xi was a visiting guest, so naturally she couldn't criticize like Yu Murong did, in the name of criticism. In fact, it was just showing the deep affection between the siblings.

Moreover, Xu Xing is extremely capable, and other packaged stars in the circle cannot compete with Xu Xing. Among her peers, Xu Xing is also the most outstanding.

When Xu Xing wanted to star in the movie "Detective Chinatown" at the beginning, she was just an ordinary newcomer with handsome looks and good background; when she was asked to star in "The Accidental Detective", Xu Xing was a supernova who had already soared to the sky but still had no upper limit in her development.

Now, after experiencing setbacks and settling down, Xu Xing can officially declare that the entertainment industry has entered the Xu Xing era!
It’s not the bragging words of the traffic stars, but the real influence.

He is a world-class superstar who has no weaknesses in the three fields of film, television and music, and can even create his own cakes and write his own songs.

——Although The Wandering Earth has not been released yet, professional producers dare to draw a conclusion in advance: the movie is a sure hit! It has nuclear-level quality in the industry, and a superstar like Xu Xing is a bonus.

Xu Xing is not only outstanding in his abilities, he also has a good character and behaves properly. He doesn't have any bad habits, not even the habit of smoking or drinking.

Although Chen Xi chatted with Chen Sicheng the past two days, he sensed a subtle change in his attitude towards Xu Xing from his words, which seemed to confirm some things.

But this is what normal people do.

And I believe it was definitely not Xu Xing who took the initiative.

"Not making trouble? He seems to have a lot of reasons, but when he can't win the argument with me, he will cheat and make a bet."

Qu Mingzhen joined the "United Doubles".

"Don't I win every time?"

Xu Xing couldn't help it.

"Look."

Qu Mingzhen curled his lips.

The three of them laughed.

Xu Xing was also speechless.

Hey!
whatever.

You can't argue with your two good sisters.

Chen Xi came with a script. She wanted to invite Xu Xing to star in "Send You a Little Red Flower", saying that the subject matter was good and it could also win awards.

Since Xu Xing is planning to film another drama in May and June, it would be better to make a movie.

Qu Mingzhen thought it was pretty good, and Yu Murong also supported it.

Although "Signal" has been approved as a project within Zhengrong and is being advanced at the speed of light, it is still in the preparation stage.

Chen Xi had told her about this before, and Qu Mingzhen also asked Xu Xing, but Xu Xing had not decided to act.

Chen Xi came over today and talked about it again, but Xu Xing still wanted to film the TV series "Signal".

Chen Xi also said that it would be better to just make Xu Xing’s own script “The Piano Tuner” and let her be the producer.

——"Bad Genius" stars several newcomers and does not need a producer like her. Like "The Silent Killer", these are projects that Zhengrong is preparing to manage himself and practice his skills.

But Xu Xing said that he still wanted to film a drama.

This made Qu Mingzhen feel helpless, sweet and touched.

Zhengrong has only been in the industry for a few years, and his main job is still TV dramas. Qu Mingzhen feels that Xu Xing has to make dramas for her. If Xu Xing doesn't make dramas this year, Zhengrong will not have Xu Xing's drama as a trump card next year.

When the two were alone, Qu Mingzhen acted cute and coquettishly and begged for help with all kinds of questions, but Xu Xing did not change her words.

Xu Xing was used to making excuses and couldn't think of a better one to explain why he had to increase his inventory of TV series instead of movies.

Now this...

"Otherwise, I can squeeze in and film one more drama. My roles in Detective Chinatown 3 and Signal are probably only about half. If I schedule it a little tighter, I can still film another drama. Anyway, doesn't Director Wang always want more preparation time?"

Xu Xing felt that it could be arranged.

If you are in the entertainment industry, it is impossible not to mingle with other circles, make friends with your own partners, and build a community of interests.

Now Xu Xing has returned as the king, and his career is indeed continuing to be superb, but the longer-term barrier is still the Zhengrong behind him. Zhengrong still has a long way to go to become bigger and stronger in the circle and to gain a real status.

Wan Da Films, which once entered the film and television industry with great momentum, has begun to retreat. Last year, Lao Wang talked to Xu Xing's nominal former brother-in-law Wang Chengen about the reorganization of Wan Da Films and asked Mr. Qu about his expectations for Zhengrong's development. Xu Xing also knew that Wan Da had finally sold Wan Da Films in the past life, and the buyer was Hai Shi Ruyi, who was behind Chen Xi.

After the tax turmoil last year, Huayi, the leader of the Beijing circle, was also hit hard. The Huayi system is still there, but it can only be considered to be barely surviving.

Now is the best opportunity for Zhengrong to expand.

Chen Xi came for Xu Xing, but more importantly for Zheng Rong.

If Xu Xing and Zhengrong can continue the development momentum of the past two years, with Zhengrong's background and strength, he will be able to become the boss of this circle.

Relationships are built up through collaboration on each project. Han Yan, the director of Little Red Flower, is a highly praised director in this circle. With Xu Xing joining the team, it is highly likely that he will be able to make up for his box office shortcomings (the box office of Go Away Tumor Man was not good enough in 19, and last year's Animal World flopped at the box office despite good reputation), and guide some newcomers at the same time.

After a while, everyone helps to make it happen, and then it can be truly accomplished.

With the awards handed over, you can promote whomever you want and arrange whomever you want. That's the flourishing business, evolving from a top-tier artist to top-tier capital.

Since I am at my peak and am also preparing for the black swan at the end of the year, it would be good to shoot more movies.

However, as soon as Xu Xing finished speaking, Chen Xi became embarrassed.

With Xu Xing's current status, what he definitely wants is the freedom to film, and there is absolutely no need for him to be so tired. He said this, and although he had a smile on his face, he sounded like he was angry.

"That's not the case—"

"It's not impossible."

Qu Mingzhen nodded first.

"Forehead……"

Chen Xi was a little surprised.

She had heard it before. Although Yu Murong and Qu Mingzhen complained about Xu Xing, they also trusted Xu Xing's opinions.

Qu Mingzhen’s words mean that Xu Xing really thinks he can act?
"If Xiao Xing really didn't want to act, he would have said so directly."

Qu Mingzhen explained it.

"Oh," Chen Xi laughed again, "Xiao Xing really speaks his mind. When he told me through Liu Cheng that he wanted to act in Detective Chinatown, I felt that he was very different from others."

When Chen Shicheng was unhappy, he suddenly gave up.

At first Xu Xing approached her to act, and now she asks Xu Xing to act as a go-between...it seems that Xu Xing was more modest and decent back then.

……

"Xing-ge!"

A voice behind me.

When Xu Xing turned his head, he saw a girl smiling nervously.

She waved her hand stiffly, and put it down when she found it even more embarrassing. The smile on her face shyly disappeared, and then she quickly laughed again.

It's quite beautiful. This series of facial changes makes people feel bright, cool and weak.

Xu Xing recognized her.

The studio is short of signature, classmate Wang Churan.

That time, Liu Cheng asked Xu Xing to select new people, and Xu Xing casually glanced around and named Tian Xiwei and her.

At that time, Xiaotian signed with great joy, but Xiaowang made some more requests and was eventually given up by Liu Cheng, who then signed with Zhengrong.

Liu Cheng mentioned to Xu Xing that the person who brought her along after she joined Zhengrong was Sheng Ke’s agent, Zhang Shan.

However, although Xu Xing recognized her, he did not say “Oh, Xiao Wang”.

Now I don't recognize her.

So Xu Xing just smiled, gave a polite smile to ordinary passers-by, and prepared to go to the meeting room to participate in the internal preparation and small-scale script reading of "Bad Genius".

Xu Xing was quite busy today, and so was Zheng Rong. Although it was close to the end of the year, several projects were being prepared intensively, especially since Xu Xing suddenly had two new dramas to shoot, one of which was a TV series called "Signal", which was about a criminal investigation bureau with multiple unit stories. There were too many roles to appear in, and everyone inside and outside the company flocked to Zheng Rong's office building.

Xu Xing’s recently concluded drama “Want to See You” once again tells everyone in and out of the industry that as long as you show up in a drama starring Xu Xing, there is a chance of “ascension”, and even international success.

The heroine Li Qin directly rose to the top of the top 90 female stars - her traffic was extremely high in a short period of time. She had a large number of fans in Southeast Asia, and even luxury representatives from abroad kissed her. Her fans shouted that she would definitely win the Best Actress Award next year. She directly soared to the number one female artist in the super topic, and she didn't lose a battle with Mafeng.

——Because many marketing accounts are saying that Li Qin made her debut as Baochai in Dream of Red Mansions, while Teacher Yang was just a maid Qingwen. Now it means that although the maid took a shortcut, Baochai is still Baochai and the maid is still a maid. The wasp is almost mad to death, and is furious! Li Qin hurriedly took the initiative to explain to Xu Xing that it was not a press release from her team, but a black fan who was making trouble. Teacher Yang, who has experienced many ups and downs, did not mention it to Xu Xing.

Liu Haoran has been favored since his debut in the movie "Northern Love", and then he was "snatched away" by Qin Feng. He was rated as the first generation of waiting for a breakout and one of the four major wall-hangers. However, Liu Haoran, who had been flopping all the way and was waiting for a breakout, finally broke out!
Many people also complained that Li Ziwei was too rude to Chen Yunru. The loyal milk dog Mo Junjie was chased by the whole network and called a little angel. In fact, his character is quite boring. This kind of male protagonist is bound to fail.

But fortunately, God is great. He wrote such an awesome script, which supported the whole drama and allowed the second male lead to reap tremendous benefits.

Fans easily defeated Bai Yu, another male lead who was exposed in "Guardian" last year, in the first battle, and the next one they aimed at was the returning paper tiger Sheng Ke, because it has been rumored recently that Liu Haoran will partner with Sheng Ke in Xing Shen's "Bad Genius".

Apart from the two of them, all the other supporting characters in the drama have become extremely popular, and have received a large number of film contracts and variety show invitations. Even a pet communicator who only showed up briefly in the first episode will appear on the satellite TV Spring Festival Gala.

Therefore, in the past two days, there have been celebrities waiting downstairs of Zhengrong Building for photographers to look for opportunities.

Wang Churan probably has the same idea.

But she only needed to go directly to her agent Zhang Shan. Arranging a role for Zheng Rong's family in "Signal" was not difficult for Zhang Shan, unlike playing the leading role in those MVs, so there was no need to find Xu Xing at all.

Wang Churan saw Xu Xing smile and was about to leave, as if he really had not remembered that he was the person he wanted to sign, and just treated him as an ordinary passerby?
He quickly spoke again.

"Brother Xing! I, I am Wang Churan."

"Ok?"

Xu Xing turned his head.

"That's right, back then, I was Zhang Shan, an artist under Sister Shan."

Wang Churan stumbled and tried hard to control the urge to say that Xu Xing once wanted to sign that contract.

Although Sister Shan said that it was Liu Cheng who told her, since she did not agree to sign with that studio at that time, Xu Xing must be... quite unhappy!
The person he wanted disobeyed him... That's why he didn't agree with her to star in the MV before, and now he pretended not to recognize her. He was just very angry.

Normally, no one would dare to refuse him, but I...

Wang Churan bit his lip.

"Actually, I'm also your fan, and I'm also a star. I've watched "Want to See You" many times, and I really, really like it. And your songs, I also really, really like them, I can sing them all, hahaha~
"I, I really didn't expect to see you when I came to the company today. I'm so excited, hahahaha. I, I I I... uh, I..."

I can’t go on.

Lower your head.

want to cry.

In fact, I wanted to sign with Xu Xing Studio at the beginning. Isn't it normal to bargain and propose conditions when signing a contract? It's not that I must have those conditions. In the end, after I proposed them, there was no follow-up...

"Oh, like this."

Xu Xing said three words, his voice was so nice.

"Thank you very much for your support and love. I will continue to work hard in the future and live up to your high expectations. At the same time, you should also work hard. It is not an easy thing to fight in the entertainment industry, but as long as you keep working hard, you will definitely be rewarded."

His voice is so warm and gentle...

I want to cry even more.

Wouldn't it have been enough if you had just agreed to it in the first place?

...I wanted to look up at him. He must have been smiling when he said these words.

Just raised his head.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go over first."

...his lips were bitten until they turned white.

He still couldn't forgive himself...

……

Xu Xing didn't care at all what Wang Churan was thinking.

There are so many beauties in the entertainment industry. There is nothing special about her. She is just a familiar face in the previous life.

There is absolutely no reason why I am still upset about not signing in.

The first thought that popped up in her mind when I saw her just now was that it was a good thing that she didn't sign it in the first place, otherwise the studio would not be able to arrange the opening.

The studio and Zhengrong do have a lot of resources, but they all have their pros and cons.

Xu Xing treats people with sincerity and would try his best to keep things fair. Actually, it is not possible, but one less person means less trouble.

Recently, Liu Cheng asked Xu Xing whether he wanted to sign more people, and Xu Xing told him that it was unnecessary, unless he really thought that the person was a good candidate who could become famous, rather than someone that Xu Xing thought he would like.

He didn't mention it again.

Human energy is limited, and Xu Xing is not the kind of person who gets bored easily. Even if all of them have been unlocked, there is still a lot of fun.

Therefore, Xu Xing prefers people who can simply sleep with him, or people who can simply do an exchange without him having to think too much. Signing new people to the studio is a burden.

Just a bunch of ancient idols waiting to explode!

Xu Xing couldn't take care of her.

Arrived at the conference room.

In addition to the producer and other staff, there are Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Yezai, as well as the male lead Liu Haoran and the second male lead Sheng Ke.

——Since all the work is based on the premise that the black swan will inevitably happen again at the end of the year, it is better to shoot this movie early in the morning, and there is no need to wait until Zhao Jinmai’s summer vacation. Xu Xing also took the last relatively free opportunity before the New Year to talk about the script with the four main young actors of the crew.

After reaping the benefits of "Want to See You", Liu Haoran's traffic and acting skills were both considered satisfactory, and his attitude was also extremely positive. Especially after the end of "Want to See You", he "heartfeltly" thanked Xu Xing for a long paragraph on WeChat.

Not only did he thank Xu Xing for the opportunity this drama gave him, he also self-deprecatingly said that if it weren't for "Want to See You", his future development in the industry might have gotten worse and worse. Director Chen was very optimistic about him at first, but later seemed to want to give up on him...

Then Xu Xing told him, come and act in "Bad Genius", I have always been optimistic about you!

Liu Haoran was so excited that he directly clicked on the video call so that Xu Xing could see his tears of gratitude.

Xu Xing was almost frightened.

But he really couldn't see Teacher Tong below.

Hey!
He should also thank Teacher Tong, who also said a few good words for him.

As for Sheng Ke, he far exceeded Xu Xing's expectations.

He can really act.

In the audition video of the second male lead that Zhang Shan sent him, he no longer had the grim expression he used to have. His expressions were much more lively and he even seemed to have some acting talent.

I don’t know how Xing Xin helped him suddenly open up the Ren and Du meridians.

Then Xu Xing decided to use him.

When the news was released, iKe was naturally very dissatisfied, but it didn’t last long.

The six months that Sheng Ke was banned, and the mockery and backlash from the fan circle towards the legendary anti-Japanese activist after his recent comeback, have hurt iKe to pieces. They now want to see Sheng Ke seize every opportunity to prove himself.

However, there will still be a fight with Liu Haoran over the male lead and the second male lead.

The second-rate resource guy who is lucky enough to get a chance to take advantage of someone!
I am the leading actor in "Idol Producer" and he is so popular in seconds!
Tear it up! Tear it up!

Add more heat to the movie!
There is no way Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Ye can quarrel with each other.

Zhou Ye will also appear in Xu Xing’s MV soon, and "Better Days" will not be released until the end of the year.

After the release of "The Wandering Earth", Zhao Jinmai will only be compared with Zhang Zifeng like in his previous life, and the two will not be torn apart too much.

……

“Will it really be worth billions at the box office?”

Zhao Jinmai asked expectantly.

Tomorrow is the premiere of "The Wandering Earth". She checked the box office app, which directly predicted a box office of 40 billion yuan.

"Of course," Xu Xing put her on the bed and joked, "Would you like to sing a lullaby?"

"..." Zhao Jinmai was angry, "Go find Zhou Ye right away!"
