The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 389 Why didn’t I hear it before?
However, in the eyes of the black fans, the fact that Xingchu personally stepped in to guide the marketing made him look even lower.

Mantianxing strongly advocated that Xingshen really just accidentally clicked it. Xingshen had already said that he often surfed the Internet. Don't take Xingshen away when he was concentrating on filming in the crew.

But it cannot explain why #许幸点赞李承鄞# stayed at the top of the trending search list for so long.

When Meng Ziyi had a video call last night, her eyes were red and she expressed gratitude and self-blame for a long time.

Not counting the forcible removal of the Minister of Nanshan Entertainment, this was the first time that Xu Xing marketed someone else's play. Not only did he use his own big account, he also created a hot search like that.

Chen Yuqi even joked on WeChat that she envied Meng Ziyi and that Xu Xinghao doted on her.

Nazha sent a smiling expression and said nothing else, but she said it all.

Xu Xing also invested in her drama, but apart from contributing a few beautiful looks, being praised by fans for her beauty, and Xu Xing taking photos with her alone, Xu Xing didn't mention it at all on social media when it flopped.

Meng Ziyi also understands this.

She was extremely moved, but also felt that this showed that the performance of "Eastern Palace" did not satisfy Xu Xing.

I want to fly to Tokyo immediately to apologize again.

But Xu Xing didn't approve it either.

I will remember Brother Xing's kindness for the rest of my life...

For Xu Xing, who has become so famous, there is nothing low about this. People with a sunny heart will only think that Xu Xing is interesting and down-to-earth.

When Xu Xing made his comeback last month, he said that he often surfs the Internet and he knows all the people who curse him online.

He must have seen others scolding him for being a lucky dog.

Just one like from Xu Xing caused such a big stir on the entire internet, can you blame Xu Xing?

Of course, Xiao Heizi can still roll around, and fortunately he is still watching TV series during filming. Isn't this unprofessional?

Mantianxing also has reasons to be angry. After Xu Xing liked the post "being hyped by Zheng Rong", it has affected the popularity of Xu Xing's upcoming English single.

Sima's team didn't even release a preview clip, only a song title and a single cover.

There was no media interview that revealed any information about the song, only a small rumor that it might be a country song.

Apart from waiting, there is no other topic that can bring back attention.

Even after Xu Xing arrived at the set to start work, the internet was still in an uproar.

Then at 12 noon, "Old Town Road" was finally officially released!
The online hotspot shifts instantly!

The entire network's hot search list!

That man released another English song!
He is going to win the US Championship again!!!

This is Xingshen’s strong counterattack after being suppressed by the United States!

Just want to dance freely in America!!!

Tell them!

This is the Chinese——

amount……

This song...

What is it……

……

Billboard.

[The confusing road sounds too confusing...]

[It’s really just a gift song for European and American King Oyster Mushrooms…

If you can't write one yourself, why not ask Xin Shijing to pick a few songs out of this one? Aren't they better than this one?
The album sold 200 million, the movie made billions, what song can’t be bought???
From now on, Xing Shen is only worthy of being called Xing Chu, I will banish him to the cold palace! ! ! ]
[Only two and a half minutes? They really didn’t put the wrong source file here, they just put the demo here???]

[Can this be considered a song???

【Xingchu finally revealed the fact that all his previous songs were bought for him by New Media! 】

[It is true that Wolf Warrior has been suppressed, and New Vision no longer gives him songs.

I wanted to laugh when I saw the previous post by Paris Blowing Luck. ]
[Why did I have the illusion that I was lucky enough to slap Sister Zha (a sister’s derogatory name, referring to the terrorist attack that happened at her concert)? ? ? ]
……

Bar B was full of complaints, everyone was saying that the song was ugly.

In fact, this is not a good time to place an order.

Last year's "something just like this" collided head-on with Drake's album "scorpion" which was at the peak of his career.

This time, "Old Town Road" collides with Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next".

This is the pinnacle album of A-girl's career. Not only did it achieve great commercial success, but it also received excellent reviews.

When Xu Xing suddenly announced that she would release a new English single, the domestic and American music circles were much more lively than the domestic entertainment fan circles.

Because it was during the time when TS and A-mei’s fans were having a big fight.

At the just-concluded Grammy Awards, Ariana Grande unexpectedly defeated TS and won the Best Pop Vocal Album (her only Grammy) with her previous album "Sweetener" released half a year ago, further intensifying the conflict between fans of TS and Ariana Grande.

Last year, TS fans maliciously gave A-mei the derogatory nickname "Zha Jie", which caused tension between the two fan groups. However, there are too many TS fans in China and very few A-mei fans, so they can only swallow their anger temporarily.

Then at the end of last year, A妹 suddenly released a new single "thank u, next", which topped the charts and received widespread acclaim. In early February of this year, her second single "2rings" was also quite amazing. After the album was officially released last week, it received countless praises and its commercial performance was also very impressive. She was suddenly awarded a Grammy.

This is A-mei's most glorious moment. A-mei's fans also feel like they are in a dream. New fans flocked in, and their backs straightened a lot.

European and American media are still talking about the arrival of the A-mei era. With so many other TS's enemy fans supporting them, it is natural that they will settle accounts with the TS fans whose last album "Reputation" flopped.

——The commercial performance was not a failure, but the fans’ evaluation was average. It generated a lot of ridicule in the European and American circles, and was abandoned by the Grammy Awards. It seemed that TS was about to flop.

Just when ts fans were getting furious, Xu Xing suddenly announced that he would release a new single in three days!
They immediately started to fight back against Xu Xing, mocking that the bubbles blown by the powder would be popped immediately by the God of Xing, and they also photoshopped a lot of abstract pictures in which they pasted A-girl's face on balloons and poked them with a stick with Xu Xing's head.

A-mei’s fans were also very panicked and immediately responded with a picture of Xu Xing swiping her card to get on the bus!

King Oyster Mushroom's ability to top the charts is obvious to all, and Xu Xing's momentum in the past month after his comeback is also really scary. Seeing that A-mei is finally about to be promoted to diva, why did Xing Chu come to snipe? ? ?

I used Xu Xing as a tool for three days, but in the end, Xu Xing's new order came out and caused a big mess.

Obviously judging from the specifications, although this order was issued out of the blue, Xu Xing still took it very seriously!
I bought Spotify’s big list and also bought the second one (the first one is A妹’s "7rings"), and I also bought Apple Music’s recommendation. There are also advertisements on Instagram and Twitter.

No official MV was released, but in addition to the lyric version of the MV, an animated version of the MV was also released, telling the story of a Western cowboy moving forward optimistically amid blows and ridicule.

The animation is well-made and you can tell at a glance that a huge amount of money was spent on it. It is almost certain that there will be a live-action MV in the future.

I didn’t go to the US to promote it, but I heard from King Oyster Mushroom that Xu Xing would wait until the North American premiere of The Wandering Earth in two days and go there together. The release date is also Friday.

Only the radio data of the Billboard chart is counted from Monday to Sunday, and the other data are from Friday to next Thursday, so releasing a song on Friday is most conducive to making the chart.

For ordinary singers, only the radio data of the previous three days will be counted, and they will not be included in the charts in advance, because it takes time for radio play volume to increase, and their weight in the charts is not high.

However, top-notch singers who are popular on the radio will be able to enter the charts earlier, resulting in the single not being able to occupy the top spot.

Xu Xing obviously wanted to improve his grades.

King Oyster Mushroom in the bar also said that they had been told that Xu Xing would release a single in the UK soon, and they had already started preparing for the chart-topping event.

This song is really...

What is Xu Xing thinking about?
A-mei's fans laughed their ass off, especially because this song has a country music style, as if Xu Xing really had sex with Jiao Jiao and gave birth to such a shameful deformed child.

Taiqi wanted Xu Xing to get on the bus, and Xu Xing did get on, but he was very reluctant!

Those foreign-worshipping dogs who used to dislike Xu Xing but were silenced by a group of dragon worshippers finally seized the opportunity and started complaining that Xu Xing’s previous achievements were nothing to brag about!
Now we are really embarrassed and have brought shame to the Chinese people in front of the whole world!
……

Outside of the European and American music circles, the initial reviews were pretty good.

The biggest problem is that the song is too short and sounds too simple, but it’s not bad at all and is very comfortable to listen to.

The animated MV is very interesting, and it should be in a relaxing and cozy style.

Furthermore, it can be seen from the lyrics, and based on the first-hand interpretations of marketing accounts, that Xu Xing was hitting back at previous slanders against him by European and American media, jokingly mocking them.

[Can't nobody tell me nothing,

you can't tell me nothing.]
No one can tell me what to do.

You don't have to say anything to me.

Of course, the little haters think that these two lines of lyrics are insulting the King Oyster Mushroom.

The black fans who had been irritated to the point of suffering from cirrhosis ever since Xu Xing's comeback finally felt temporarily relieved.

The negative reaction of European and American music communities such as B Bar to this song was immediately captured by some marketing accounts and posted on Weibo.

Music influencers across the Internet, except for those who quickly released covers of the song, have basically not started to praise this song as soon as possible like before, and they all seem to be more "cautious."

This means this song really sucks!

Fortunately, the place is finally going to be popped! ! ! !

……

"is it?"

Xu Xing asked happily.

"Well, there are already 10 paid downloads, and after filtering, there should be at least 6. According to the information we have, the proportion of overseas fans purchasing has increased significantly. According to Spotify's estimates, the global playback volume has exceeded million, and it is expected to break the record of "something just like this" for the fastest million playbacks last year tomorrow."

Sun Man reported seriously.

The single was released only seven hours ago and it has achieved such results, it is in no way worse than before!
"However, apart from your fans, the feedback from the audience on this song is relatively average, and there is a concern that it may not have enough staying power."

"Ah."

Xu Xing nodded.

I'll talk about it when I really don't have enough stamina.

In the previous life, this amazing single topped the charts for 19 weeks, breaking Niu Jie's record of 16 weeks at the top and firmly ranking first in the history of the B chart.

Even though there are various reasons for the commercialization of the song, and it also benefited from the spread of Tik Tok, the fact that it has been at the top for so long proves that the song's popular quality really suits the current tastes of Americans.

As for the average feedback, Xu Xing also expected it.

This is a typical song of the short video era, with a short duration and a simple brainwashing loop.

And it was sent by Xu Xing.

If it is a song by a new artist like in the previous life, people who hear it for the first time will feel more surprised.

But as Xu Xing is a world superstar, with several of his British singles having such impressive success, the audience’s expectations are much higher.

Most of the people who listened to this song for the first time were there for Xu Xing, so it took some time for them to adapt.

This song sounds so simple, like a gift song for fans, but in fact the direction of publicity and promotion has always been aimed at expanding the circle among passers-by listeners.

Therefore, Xu Xing also entered into a promotional cooperation with Tik Tok, and will carry out a challenge promotion tomorrow to generate a large wave of traffic.

While Sun Man was reporting, a call came from the United States.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Interscope's CEO John.

Xu Xing originally thought it would be agent Kristin.

"Congratulations, Xing! You are just as I believed! You promised! No one can stop your return!"

John's voice was extremely excited, even taking on an aria.

"It's really unbelievable! No, I always believe! But I am still surprised by the performance of "Old Town Road"! Now I find that those idiots are trash! They actually gave negative comments on such a wonderful super pop hit song! Fortunately, you are Xing! I just need to believe in you!!!"

Xu Xing heard that John had received real feedback from the audience, and the results far exceeded his expectations.

After Xu Xing experienced the false accusation storm last year, John's evaluation of Xu Xing's commercial value in the United States became much lower.

Because the European and American media have never eliminated their prejudice against Xu Xing, they criticized her vigorously when the false accusation of rape occurred, but were too lazy to report and clarify the matter after she won the lawsuit.

John talked with Xu Xing's American agent Kristin and learned that those media outlets had used the excuse of threats and pressure from China to increase Xu Xing's public relations fees many times. Xu Xing's team's public relations strategy was very conservative.

After listening to Xu Xing's comeback single in the UK, which had been kept secret for a while and had a different style, John sighed with regret that the unexpected beauty of working with the Chinese was coming to an end.

The internal evaluation of Universal Music was also very bad. Some music producers directly said that it was shit. Tens of thousands of songs could be found in the trash can outside the company building, and they asked John if he picked them up there.

Therefore, no one thinks that this song will have too much impact on A-lister's new album, which is also under Universal Music.

John arranged the promotional specifications for the single only out of respect for Xu Xing's Chinese fans who were willing to spend a lot of money. In case there were any unexpected surprises, he would be happy to see them.

——A-mei is from Republic, which is a label that is also a competitor of Interscope. Just like Xu Xing and Justin Bieber competing with each other in 17, JB’s label in Universal is Def Jam, but he has a closer relationship with his manager Scooter.

John really didn't expect that the audience feedback after Xu Xing released this song would be so good, it's almost as good as the song "Shape of You" in 17!

And when John saw those feedbacks, he immediately listened to "Old Town Road" again, and suddenly felt that this single was indeed wonderful!
Why didn’t I hear it before?
