The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 4: After ten years of hard work in the golden age of traffic, the return is still the golden age of ancient idol dramas waiting to be a big hit
From Hou Minghao.

He and Xu Xing entered SM as trainees in the same year and lived in the same trainee dormitory, so they have a good relationship.

At the beginning of this year, he terminated his trainee contract with SM and returned to China. He soon participated in a talent show and was signed by the Golden Black Company. In two days, he will debut in a group with several other members.

After learning that Xu Xing also terminated his contract in August, Hou Minghao contacted Xu Xing several times, trying to persuade Xu Xing to sign with him and debut together with the company to continue pursuing his dream of becoming a singing and dancing idol.

Xu Xing was naturally not persuaded by him, and even suggested that he terminate the contract and sign with another company, which was better than nothing, but naturally he did not propose to do anything.

After going through the arrangements made by her cousin Yu Murong just now, Xu Xing couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she saw the WeChat message sent by Hou Minghao.

A person's destiny, of course, depends on personal struggle...

In fact, when they were trainees, Hou Minghao performed much better than Xu Xing. They sang equally well, but he danced much better than Xu Xing. Xu Xing was just more handsome than him.

Moreover, the path he has chosen now does not seem to be a big problem in the course of history.

SM will not be launching a new boy group in the short term, and he was not selected for the trainee debut project Rookies launched at the end of last year - which basically means he is scheduled to debut.

When the new group debuts, not only is there no guarantee that he will debut, but he will definitely not be promoted even if he debuts.

EXO became very popular in China last year, which also started to give South Korean trainees, especially SM trainees, some luster. It was very wise for them to seize the opportunity and return to China for development.

There's nothing wrong with him debuting as a boy group.

After all, it is popular to form boy bands in China now. In a few days, the boy band UNIQ under Lihua will also debut. The former male leader is also taking the route of debuting as a member of a boy band.

It was quite right for him to start filming so quickly.

There is no room for idol development in China. When the grand idol year comes in the future, everyone will turn to filming movies.

His acting skills are also at the average level of traffic stars.

But he struggled for ten years in this golden age of traffic, but ultimately failed to make any mark and is still struggling to become a big star in the heyday of ancient idol dramas.

He didn't seize any of the real opportunities in the era of traffic.

But the only problem is that I didn’t sign with a big company as much as I could have.

Xu Xing had been hesitating for two months and had not signed with any company. Part of the reason was that he took his experience as a warning and believed that he was more foresighted and could pick up some scripts and songs, so he did not want to be tied down by an eight-year contract with a company.

Previously, Huace and Leshi gave Xu Xing eight-year contracts.

And now, Xu Xing has signed the most relaxed contract. If nothing unexpected happens, he will have a movie box office revenue of hundreds of millions next year.

Xu Xing was definitely going to try and take down the lead role in "My Girlhood." She wasn't being polite, and even had her storyline planned. While the movie was from the female lead's perspective, wasn't Lin Zhenxin's Girlhood character Xu Taiyu? Furthermore, Xu Xing would definitely be responsible for the film's promotions, having even written the theme song.

Another thing is to implicitly test how strong his capital is. If he can't even beat Song Yunhua, a provincial-level resource-rich person on the island, Xu Xing will give up the idea of ​​"Detective Chinatown".

...Xu Xing started to think about her good cousin Yu Murong who had just left not long ago.

[Will Brother Tao and Brother Xing also terminate their contracts? 】

[Xing Ge, how did you choose your company? 】

While Xu Xing was sighing, Hou Minghao sent two more messages.

Xu Xing replied.

[Probably both. But if I can't get a good deal on a deal now, I might as well stay in EXO. As the only Chinese member left in the group, I'll probably get better pay and resources.]

【I should be signing the Huace. 】

There are also two in a row.

In front of Hou Minghao, Xu Xing could be more humble and there was no need to provoke him with words.

Hou Minghao replied immediately.

[Xing Ge, have you really given up your dream of being on stage? ? ? [Crying]]

Xu Xing was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Monkey, you should give up sooner rather than later. There's no soil for the stage in China to survive. Brother Han and the others are all filming when they come back! The entire Chinese entertainment industry is all about filming."

You can’t fast forward to the end to bring the goods.

At this moment, the New Year's Eve galas of major satellite TV stations are still focusing on the Four Heavenly Kings and Double J. Soon the era will come where a gala will have far more performers than singers' performance stages.

Since they are not singing live, why not find more popular and good-looking actors to lip sync to increase the ratings and attract investment?
【I want to try it. 】

【Come on!】【Yeah!】

She is just one step away from making her debut, so there is no need for Xu Xing to say more.

Soon his company will take the initiative to assign him to act.

Apart from the regular record companies, the companies that are now creating boy bands and trainees, when signing people, actually have the ultimate goal of arranging for the artists to act, or will do so.

Only acting can make you big.

Later, I went to bring goods...

……

the next day.

Last night, Xu Xing was still thinking about how to tell Yu Murong to let her decide on a signing company for her remaining contracts as quickly as possible, and to not sign the contract this time when she goes to the island province, and to wait for her agent to arrive and help her to tear up the contract.

Unexpectedly, after arriving at the airport today, Yu Murong directly introduced Xu Xing to an agent who was waiting there.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, not very good-looking, and was wearing a gray jacket.

"This is Liu Cheng, call me Brother Cheng."

Yu Murong took the initiative to introduce.

Xu Xing spoke immediately.

"Brother Cheng."

"From now on, Brother Cheng will be your agent. You must listen to him in everything. When the studio is officially established in a while, I will introduce you to another agent."

"Oh."

Xu Xing nodded.

"Let's communicate more about everything," Liu Cheng said with a smile. "Actually, I wasn't a professional agent before. I heard from Sister Rong that you, Xiao Xing, are also quite opinionated. Let's work together to improve."

The words were quite friendly.

Xu Xing glanced at Yu Murong, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he smiled embarrassedly.

"Um... Brother Cheng, teach me more in the future."

"Ah."

Liu Cheng nodded.

While waiting for the flight, Yu Murong, who said she was on vacation today, was still busy working on her laptop, so it was mainly Xu Xing and Liu Cheng who were chatting.

According to Liu Cheng, he used to work in marketing at Wanma Pentium Film and Television Company. He just left the company last month to prepare for a transition. The day before yesterday, after being introduced by someone, he decided to become Xu Xing's agent.

A thousand horses galloping towards bankruptcy.

In fact, when Xu Xing first heard Liu Cheng say that he was not an agent before, he thought he was the general manager or supervisor that Yu Murong found for the studio.

But Liu Cheng's words were so modest that Yu Murong didn't say much. Xu Xing felt that Liu Cheng was probably just an executive agent arranged by Yu Murong, and that he would be the head agent and general manager in the future.

But now, the film companies are doing the marketing...

While Liu Cheng was waiting to answer the phone, Xu Xing was thinking in his mind when the screen of the phone in his hand lit up.

I took a look and saw that it was a WeChat message from Yu Murong who was working seriously next to me.

[Tell me everything first, then tell your agent.]

Does this mean that Liu Cheng is still in the probation period?

Xu Xing went back.

【I want him to help me tear up the fan. 】

What is "Tearing Fan"?

Well, she doesn't know everything.
