The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 399 I have no objection
"Let your fans divert their attention first, so as to reduce the difficulty of PR. There is still hope that One Second will be released after the revision. There are only a few female protagonists played by Zhang Yimou in all these years. They will have more PR activities later. After this period of time, guide them when the news of the start of the previous drama is released, and control them when the next drama is released, and that will be enough."

Liu Cheng talked freely.

"So easy?" Xu Xing asked, "Netizens are becoming more and more disgusted with celebrities. If they remain tepid, it might be okay, but once they become popular, they will definitely bring it up again."

"So it all depends on the PR. I heard they're trying to give the family more compensation, emphasizing that they didn't have money before and can only pay it back after they debut and get paid. Or they can just release news that they've been visiting them regularly since the money was paid back and the settlement was reached. If they do all this now, they can bring it up when this gets brought up again. As for celebrities, there used to be legal gurus, but aren't there many big names now? Besides people like you who are clean and have no scandals, how many are there?"

Liu Cheng flattered him very naturally.

Xu Xing was left in tears and laughter. Just as he was about to say that things are different now and remind him that he used too much water army marketing and shouldn't be too arrogant and underestimate the netizens, he saw Ouyang Nana walk out from the inner room and started laughing.

"Brother Xing, Brother Cheng."

The tone was as if he was very familiar with both of them.
"Xing-ge is indeed different from others. He is very kind and gentle."

"Ahem." Liu Cheng looked at Xu Xing with a strange expression, "Then you guys have breakfast. I'll go over first."

"it is good."

Xu Xing nodded.

After Liu Cheng left, he looked at Ouyang Nana, who was still smiling but whose eyes had become a little confused, and sighed.

"Didn't I tell you to wait inside first?"

"Well, I was thinking that since I had blow-dried my hair, put on makeup, and changed my clothes, I should come out more politely..."

The more Ouyang Nana spoke, the lower her voice became.

"Well, then you should leave after breakfast," Xu Xing said calmly, looking at Ouyang Nana whose eyes were beginning to turn red, "I know what you are thinking, but if everyone was like you, I wouldn't have had time to keep you yesterday afternoon. I thought I didn't have time to meet you privately after so many meetings before, and that should have made you more aware of it. Some people only say hello, while others can be friends for a while. No one is special, they just make different choices.

"I don't want anyone to misunderstand me. Everyone in the entertainment industry is incredibly busy every day, and it's rare to have time to relax. I also hope that we can be relaxed and stress-free and give each other emotional value. Didn't you want to talk about music? I'll write a song later to commemorate these two days. I hope it will help you feel better. If you feel the need for financial compensation, I can also provide it."

"..."

Ouyang Nana cried.

She thought she was just disobedient and came out of the bedroom early, but Xu Xing said so much at once. His tone was calm, but each word was more cruel than the last.

It seems like the tenderness on your lips when you wake up is all fake.

She just shed tears silently, and Xu Xing didn't say anything more.

In order to ensure everyone's long-term happiness, we must nip in the bud all signs of unhappiness.

Because of the recording program, the proper sleeping time is just when I get up, and I haven't had time to relax completely. I also thought about asking Zhou Jieqiong to come over with the pipa tonight to enjoy the ensemble of pipa and cello.

Since you can't figure it out, just forget it.

After finishing his own breakfast and clearing the table, Xu Xing prepared to leave the room, leaving her there without moving.

The wooden man in front of the dining table suddenly came out of his idle state, hugged Xu Xing's waist from behind, and asked in a muffled voice while leaning against Xu Xing's back.

"Can we still be friends?"

Xu Xing pulled her hand away with force.

Ouyang Nana became even more desperate and gloomy.

However, Xu Xing turned around, then lowered his head and kissed her gently.

"of course can."

The voice was equally gentle.

He also used his fingers to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Stop crying, you don't look good when you cry."

She was not particularly good-looking to begin with, and it was only because of her youth, the cello, and Xu Xing's admiration for the island province that she looked even uglier when she cried.

If it was a scene like Cheng Xiaozhouye where she looked good while crying silently, Xu Xing would be willing to appreciate it for a longer time.

"Mmmmmmm!"

Ouyang Nana quickly wiped away her tears and forced herself to laugh.

Xu Xing touched her head encouragingly.

【I want to listen to the Pipa. 】

Sent to Zhou Jieqiong.

……

Continue recording the show.

Compared to the first day, everyone got to know each other better on the second day, and several super fans and music critics chatted more enthusiastically.

However, Ouyang Nana became even quieter. Today she had her hair done in a princess style and wore a black bow headdress. She changed into a black dress and her face was flushed. She looked more beautiful than yesterday.

The main reason was that Xu Xing didn't expect her to adjust so quickly. After breakfast in the morning, she made some progress in unlocking the app, and at the end she accepted the small toy given to her.

But Xu Xing had no intention of starting it, she just liked her to be quiet.

Before the recording, there was a constant stream of band members coming to Xu Xing to take photos with her.

Hip-hop, which was far inferior to rock music in the past, was brought to the table by Xu Xing, and he even slept with the sister-in-law of the movie queen. So the band must be able to do it too.

Some simply took photos, some expressed their gratitude to Xu Xing for his contribution to rock music, and some asked for autographs for their sister and daughter. Xu Xing cooperated with all of them.

Some people also wanted to take photos with Ouyang Nana. After each photo, she would look at Xu Xing. Xu Xing had to take the time to tell her on the phone not to let others misunderstand her and to just be normal.

After the recording officially started, the atmosphere was more relaxed than yesterday.

There were 31 bands in total, 16 of which were recorded yesterday and 15 today. However, in the end, 4 bands were selected for a solo competition to determine the final qualifying spot. Therefore, although the process was smoother than yesterday, it was already past midnight when the recording ended.

Finally, Ma Dong was about to thank everyone for their efforts and announce the end of the recording.

Suddenly, the audience shouted in unison:
"Xu Xing! Xu Xing!! Xu Xing!!! Xu Xing..."

They had been standing and having fun for most of the day, and they still wanted to watch Xu Xing's performance.

Ma Dong could only announce the end despite the noises of the entire audience.

"It's getting late and everyone is tired. Let's stop here for today."

Xu Xing's meager live performances were a price the production crew couldn't afford. Xu Xing had already come to help record the show for free, and he hadn't planned on snagging another performance.

And Xu Xing is so busy that he must not have been prepared. For such a superstar, a hasty performance and poor condition will affect the artist's image.

But the audience in the pool was still shouting.

"Xu Xing! Xu Xing!! Xu Xing!!! Xu Xing..."

Ma Dong looked at Xu Xing helplessly.

Xu Xing had already smiled and nodded at the audience.

The shouts from the entire audience instantly turned into cheers.

"Coming to record "Summer of the Band" is a particularly unforgettable experience. Seeing so many excellent bands performing on such a great stage, I was also a little moved. And I have been preparing for the music festival recently, and I am actually adjusting my state. When I was recording my own album, I also asked many of their musicians to help."

Xu Xing explained his decision.

The whole audience cheered continuously.

Several super fans and music critics in the media area also stood up and applauded.

The band members in the waiting area, who were already feeling sleepy, also cheered.

"Thanks Xu Xing! Xu Xing is really busy, and his live performance..."

Ma Dong immediately spoke a lot of words quickly to emphasize how rare this performance Xu Xing had given to the show and the audience was.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xing spoke again.

"but,"

"what??"

There was confusion at the scene, and people thought Xu Xing might change his mind.

“I hope this performance won’t be edited into the show. Summer of the Band is a feast for bands, and it’s their show. Although I like bands, I’m also an outsider. If it must be released, wait until the entire season is over.”

Doubts were once again replaced by cheers that shook the entire audience.

The first reaction of narrow-minded people is the idol burden of the big star, but people with sunny hearts are moved again.

Xu Xing didn't want to steal the bands' limelight!
If Xu Xing's live performance was included in the show "Summer of the Band" when it was first broadcast, the entire network would definitely be attracted by Xu Xing.

Talented and virtuous!

He really loves the band!

Why didn’t you hit that idiot harder yesterday?
After debugging the equipment and selecting other performers, Xu Xing completed the performance of "The Train Heading Beyond the Clouds" amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

After having another midnight snack, it was already past two o'clock when we returned to the hotel.

As soon as I entered the door, Zhou Jieqiong, wearing a cheongsam with gold jacquard pattern, came towards me with a smile, holding a pipa. She had her hair tied up and wore a silk shawl, which made her look more delicate and elegant.

Xu Xing told her to go to bed first on WeChat, but she kept waiting.

"Xing-ge."

"Xing-ge."

Two voices sounded at the same time.

Ouyang Nana was caught off guard and suddenly appeared from behind Xu Xing, staring at the classical beauty in front of her in a daze.

There was just a hint of unnaturalness in Zhou Jieqiong's eyes, and then she immediately smiled warmly.

"Nana?"

Xu Xing lifted her chin with satisfaction and kissed her gently.

Ouyang Nana looked at Zhou Jieqiong who was already in Xu Xing's arms, and tried to smile and speak.

"Yeah, Jieqiong."

"You're all good at playing instruments, so I thought I'd introduce you to each other."

Xu Xing put his arm around Ouyang Nana and walked in together.

Zhou Jieqiong immediately understood what Xu Xing wanted to do and smiled even sweeter.

"I've wanted to meet Nana for a long time."

“…I also like the Pipa.”

Ouyang Nana tried hard to adjust to the situation.

She suddenly inexplicably thought of Liu Hao that day. If in the future, is it possible... To be honest, she would rather Liu Hao existed.

As for Liu Haocun, she just thought she had a good temperament and that she looked similar to her.

But when she saw Zhou Jieqiong coming out holding the pipa, she felt amazed in her heart.

Ouyang Nana had seen Zhou Jieqiong on other occasions before, and had also watched her performances and shows online. She had always thought she was just okay, but today she was stunningly beautiful.

Such a beauty, but he didn't have any unexpected reaction after seeing her. Does it mean that she has long been accustomed to being with others like this... Ouyang Nana became even more silent. She could only maintain a smile on her face and watch how happy and sweet Zhou Jieqiong was as she acted coquettishly in Xu Xing's arms.

"I miss my dad so much. I can be happy again for half a year."

She thought that the little clever idea she had shouted out in the morning sounded so natural when there were other people around...Has she not seen Xu Xing for half a year?

"I have been working hard during this period. I have never stopped taking acting classes, practicing dance and pipa every day, and also learning yoga and Pilates. I have also read books. My father hopes that I will have more temperament and connotation, and be more like a goddess. I have been working hard in this direction."

Is this what he likes? Obedient and well-behaved, a goddess with temperament...

He really seemed to like it very much. He smiled much more than yesterday and kissed Zhou Jieqiong sweetly from time to time, as if he didn't even realize there was another person around.

Yesterday he said it was too late and told me to go to bed early.

But today is——

"It's getting late and I wanted to go to bed early, but this outfit is really beautiful today!"

He sighed, Zhou Jieqiong had already nestled between his legs tenderly. She seemed to have studied this kind of thing before, with a smile on her face, and her eyes were always looking at Xu Xing, the first one, so intoxicated... She looked so beautiful.

A long time passed.

She looked over, panting, and waved.

"What are you doing sitting here, Nana?"

Ouyang Nana quickly put on her smile and moved over.

It's really too late.

The instrument demonstration was left until the next morning.

In the morning light, the pipa and cello, a combination of Chinese and Western instruments, fill the room with light and brightness. It is simply a paradise for music lovers.

With Zhou Jieqiong's guidance, Ouyang Nana, who already had a strong sense of initiative, learned very quickly. She just had trouble adapting the first time, but she completed the cello performance smoothly the second time.

As the referee, Xu Xing conducted the tests in turn without bias.

Well, I still favor Zhou Jieqiong.

Compared with Ouyang Nana, Zhou Jieqiong is indeed prettier, and in comparison, she feels prettier than before. Moreover, she has been working with Xu Xing for a long time, and her skills and characteristics are all in line with Xu Xing's preferences.

She also shined with a brilliance far beyond what she had previously displayed when teamed up with other women.

Because Zhou Jieqiong could clearly feel that Xu Xing really liked her more this time. She even felt more pampered than when she was alone with Xu Xing before she teamed up with Cheng Xiao.

But Ouyang Nana is not someone who will admit defeat.

Therefore, on the way back to the capital, the competition between the two did not stop.

The competition was exciting all the way.

So Xu Xing decided to let them compete for another night and sent them back to the villa first so that they could prepare for the competition in the evening.

Xu Xingcai rushed to Zhengrong.

……

The news that Liu Haocun withdrew from "Send You a Little Red Flower" was released yesterday afternoon.

Today, Mantianxing's attention has turned to who the actors are and the repo of the two-day recording of "Summer of the Band". The most popular one is a photo of Xu Xing and Ding Taisheng backstage.

Some fans thought that Xu Xing was "forced" by Liu Cheng to apologize to Ding Taisheng, and continued to curse Cheng Chu, and also told the fan circle about the glorious record of the fans who shot Ding Taisheng in the head offline.

But in fact, the two of them didn't mention that at all. Ding Taisheng said that he felt better after listening to Xu Xing's album several times.

Since Liu Haocun withdrew, the industry immediately began to compete for this role.

Zheng Rong and Ruyi, who are behind the scenes, have confirmed that Xu Xing's schedule is too tight and they will try their best to start filming as scheduled.

There will be an internal audition round in a week.

If there is no suitable candidate in the end, we will have to wait until the end of next year to start filming. Of course, it is more likely that Xu Xing will withdraw.

After all, Han Yan is also a very promising director. He has made all preparations for the start of filming and there is no need to wait nearly two years before shooting.

He can start filming his next movie at the end of next year, and he can work with Xu Xing again.

In Zhengrong, Xu Xing met Wen Qi, who was the person Mr. Qu had the highest hopes for.

When the audition started, Xu Xing had already left Beijing and started his overseas trip.

To be honest, Xu Xing had a preconceived notion of Ma Xiaoyuan played by Liu Haocun in his previous life, so it was difficult for him to imagine the effect of Wen Qi's performance.

Wen Qi is a very distinctive actor. The most impressive thing about her is her sharp eyebrows and eyes. In the film, she plays a character who gets cancer and eventually dies.

Fortunately, she has a literary and artistic temperament and reads a lot of books. She is a very interesting girl.

Tried a scene.

Xu Xing still can't blend her face with Liu Haocun. The Ma Xiaoyuan she interprets is more vital. Although he doesn't look like a cancer patient, there are not many scenes in the film where you can tell that Ma Xiaoyuan is a patient.

So it had a shocking effect when it was revealed that she also had cancer and eventually died.

Liu Haocun felt like a beautiful little white flower was gone, and Wen Qi felt like a sapling that was about to grow vigorously was gone.

...From this perspective, maybe it's okay?
Xu Xing didn't comment, but Mr. Qu felt pretty good about it.

"She prepared in a hurry."

Xu Xing spoke only after Wen Qi left.

"Yes, a little, but I think she acted very well. Do you think we need a romantic relationship? I can't find any romantic feelings from her. But I think the girl is pretty too. If it doesn't work, we can change it to a brother-sister relationship."

Qu Ming really wanted to persuade Xu Xing.

Anyway, the box office will definitely be carried by Xu Xing alone, and the appearance of the heroine will not have much impact.

"When we audition, let's see what Director Han thinks. I have no objection."

Xu Xing stretched.

The trip back from Langfang was indeed exciting, but the space inside the car was indeed a bit small.

Although he couldn't find any feeling towards Wen Qi, Xu Xing had no interest in the other popular contestants, Li Gengxi, Zhang Zifeng and Zhou Dongyu.

Zhang Jingyi of Dongshen is somewhat interested, but she has only started acting for a short time and needs to grow. In her debut work "The Sky of the Wind Dog Boy" which just finished filming, she obviously can't play a difficult role. During the MV shooting, she just made some poses.

Although Wen Qi is from an island province, she grew up in the mainland and had always been firm in her stance in her previous life. It was just that her agency was too bad and she didn't have any good resources.

If Wenqi finally signs with Zhengrong, she will be one of us, and it's okay to let President Qu stick to her choice.

When going out, Wenqi found an opportunity to tell Xu Xing alone.

"Even if I'm not chosen in the end, I've already decided to sign Zhengrong. I'll be Xing Ge's junior from now on. There will be opportunities for us to work together in the future, right?"

The little girl smiled very happily.

"Yes, there will be. But for now, just focus on preparing for the final audition. I'm counting on you."

Xu Xing encouraged with a smile.

After watching the audition, Xu Xing went to the rehearsal room downstairs.

There will be countless eyes on the Coachella Music Festival, and there will be live videos being streamed. The stage is huge, and if you perform poorly, the backlash will be obvious, so you must prepare carefully.

I tried to get a feel for the stage last night in "Summer of the Band". I should also take time out to practice more in my daily life.

After Zhengrong moved to a new building, Zhengrong Film and Television, Zhengrong Entertainment and Lucky Star Studio all moved together. This is the practice room of Zhengrong Entertainment.

At this time, Kiwi's talent show "Youth With You" and Youku's "In the Name of the Group" have just ended, and Penguin's "Creation Camp 2019" has just started.

All three platforms are auditioning for boy groups, so there are more female trainees staying in the company. When they heard that Xu Xing had come to the company, they all swarmed over to see Xu Xing.

I don’t know if it’s because the manager is not here, or if people are still adapting after moving to the new building, but it does feel a lot more messy than before.

There was a lot of chatter outside the room, and from time to time there were screams and sounds of banging on the door.

When Xing Xin was here, there was no such chaos every time she came.

Xu Xing practiced until eight o'clock in the evening.

During dinner, Zhengrong Entertainment CEO Li Hang came over and drove away the trainees outside, and apologized to Xu Xing awkwardly.

He also wanted Xu Xing to give some pointers to some promising young talents, but Xu Xing refused.

When I left, I could see that the trainees on the floor were still practicing hard. I wonder if they practiced so late every day.

After returning to the villa and changing into an evening gown, Ouyang Nana finally had the equipment she needed to fight Zhou Jieqiong.

In the afternoon, Zhou Jieqiong told Xu Xing on WeChat with a smile that she would take Ouyang Nana to clean up.

It was a great experience to complete the full unlocking in a room with mirrors on all sides, holding the cello, wearing an evening gown, and biting your lips.

But Xu Xing is not the kind of person who would indulge in this.

The next morning, Xu Xing rushed to Qing City to visit the set of "Bad Genius" which was currently being filmed.

When "Bad Genius" was finished, "Send You a Little Red Flower" had already started filming, so Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Ye were not prepared to try whether the time was suitable for Ma Xiaoyuan.

After observing for a while on the set, I found that Zhou Ye played a simple role very well, while Zhao Jinmai was in average condition and fumbled many times, but fortunately he was able to adjust himself every time.

Xu Xing had emphasized before that this film should be shot slowly, and there is no need to worry about delaying it too long and spending more money, it must be shot well, especially Zhao Jinmai's performance, which should be slowly trained so that she doesn't have to think about the lessons she has missed while on the crew.

The effect is not bad.

In the evening, Xu Xing asked Zhao Jinmai for her opinion, and she had no objection to teaming up with a new partner.

Two innocent high school girls wearing white shirts, pleated skirts and ponytails, even God would sigh at how beautiful youth is.

Even though he had peeked at Xu Xing and Zhou Ye before, Zhao Jinmai was still stunned again, because the jealous Zhou Ye was even crazier than that day, and even more exaggerated than Chen Yuqi.

Classmate Zhao Jinmai also became jealous.

The second time Xu Xing pushed her to full power, she had already adapted a lot.

Zhou Ye, who had come back to his senses, blushed and was dazed.

The advantage of being thin is that when you pile them together, you still feel like a single person.

Xu Xingdu had the idea of staying a few more nights, but he still didn't indulge in pleasure.

After returning to Beijing, I continued rehearsing, shooting magazine advertisements, and meeting with the "Signal" crew, so my daily schedule was packed.

Xu Xing was busy until April 4th, when he set off to travel to California, USA to attend the Coachella Music Festival.

However, the first stop is to fly to South Korea to visit SM Entertainment at the invitation of Lee Soo Man.

Then fly to Europe to attend the LVMH dinner.

Finally, there's Coachella.

　Let me explain the plot design of "Little Red Flower". When I was writing the fan story before, I was reported for having incorrect values and whitewashing the legal community, so I could only move forward in a roundabout way.

　　Thanks to 20230610180, Dengyinghualu, and Cuo~~Cuocuo... for their monthly tickets! Thank you all for your recommendation tickets and subscriptions.
