The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 427 True Prince Goose Proton and Peach Proton

"Besides, Wang Juan has too much work on his hands now. He works for Xinli, which means he works for Penguin, so it's hard for him to give us a job. Finding a screenwriter is also a problem. Chen Zhenghua, the author of Snow, can't even guarantee stable updates for his own serialized Sword Comes, so he probably doesn't have the time to adapt the script. It will take until the end of next year to find a screenwriter and finish writing the script."

"It's indeed the end of the year," Qu Mingzhen suppressed a laugh, "but it's only the end of this year."

"what?"

Xu Xing was surprised again.

Qu Mingzhen was very satisfied with Xu Xing's surprise.

"We have asked him to start adapting The Snow a long time ago, and the manuscript will be submitted by the end of the year. His projects have been scheduled for a long time. He also adapted the Douluo Continent directed by Hou Minghao last year. Originally, after the manuscript of The Snow was submitted, he was asked to adapt the second season of Joy of Life. Now it depends on what Penguin will do next.

"It's possible that Mao Ni has not yet finished filming The Great Road to Heaven, and he will also start filming The Son-in-Law. If everything goes well, The Flowers will be finished in February, and The Battle at Lake Changjin will be finished in June or July, so we can start filming around September next year."

"Ok."

Xu Xing nodded.

Make good preparations in the early stages, and by the middle of next year, the order will be relatively clear. By then, whichever of "Changjin Lake" and "The Snow" has coordinated its schedule will be filmed first.

Xu Xing originally wanted to go to Thailand to film "The Tuner" next year, so this is fine now.

"There was some discussion about the film and television adaptation of Snow on the Internet before. Didn't I hear from Manman that you often surf the Internet? What do you watch every day?"

Qu Mingzhen complained.

"Well, I'll just check out the trending searches."

Xu Xing doesn’t surf very often.

Most of the news were news that I had seen in my previous life. As for those related to Xu Xing herself, she had already debuted for many years and there was nothing interesting to see.

Just take a look at Douban Entertainment Group, Super Topic, and Tieba?
...and the Little Red Book.

They all opened Xiaohongshu accounts, and any new photos would be updated on them. Xu Xing only followed them on her small account, and when she saw which one had a prettier look, she would schedule a date and summon them.

A large part of Xu Xing's actual free time, excluding writing scripts and memorizing lines, is spent replying to WeChat messages.

Anyway, Sun Man would summarize the online news that needed attention for Xu Xing every morning and send it to WeChat. When Xu Xing saw something that interested him, he would search for the keywords online separately.

So, when I left Zhengrong...

"Manman."

"Ok?"

"You've locked me in an information cocoon."

"..."

Sun Man looks at a mentally retarded person.

"I didn't know you were going to talk about 'Snow Swordsman' today. If you had told me, I would have shown you the organized documents. You used to be dissatisfied with me showing you all kinds of messy news. And you didn't read all the information I sent you every day."

"I don't blame you, I'm just lazy."

Xu Xing sighed.

"I'll ask Xiao Ma to give you a report every day. I'll do my part and she'll do hers. This way you won't be stuck in your cocoon."

Sun Man suggested.

Xiao Ma is one of her assistants.

"No," Xu Xing held Sun Man's hand, saying affectionately, "I won't look at other people's."

"..."

Sun Man, who had goosebumps all over her body, first slowly covered her mouth with the tablet computer to prevent Xu Xing from using a small combo to attack as he did in the past, and then she complained in response.

"Disgusting."

"Hey~"

Xu Xing really couldn't hold it back, and Secretary Sun finally used repetitive words to "flirt" with her while complaining.

Sun Man, who had half of her face covered by a tablet computer, had a smile in her exposed eyes that she tried hard to hold back but couldn't.

She laughed so hard that her body shook.

The two looked at each other and smiled for a while.

Xu Xing sighed in his heart and leaned against Secretary Sun's shoulder.

Secretary Sun did not dodge.

Resting his head on Secretary Sun's shoulder, Xu Xing even wanted to ask the driver to turn around and not go to the villa where Di Mi and Meng Za had already gathered.

The silence in the car lasted for a while before being broken.

"Actually, Hou Minghao was also interested in acting in the script of The Snowy Swordsman. President Qu still wants you to focus on filming movies and just shoot TV series occasionally. So, she was open to changing actors for the second season of Joy of Life. She didn't expect that you would shoot a TV series Signal when you were so busy this year, and that you not only prefer to continue to play the second season of Joy of Life, but are also willing to shoot The Snowy Swordsman again."

Sun Man seemed to be explaining.

"Ah?" Xu Xing sat up straight. "You mean, the script of "Snow Sword" was originally planned to be played by Hou Minghao, so it was given to Wang Juan to adapt early on?"

"That's not it."

Sun Man shook his head.

"Hou Minghao's agent has inquired within Zhengrong, and there are also some voices online wanting him to act. Some of his fans are licking the cake, but it should also be instructed by his team."

"I just checked online. Because Joy of Life is so popular, aren't fans of The Snowy World all discussing whether I can play the role in The Snowy World? I didn't see him mentioned."

Xu Xing searched the #雪中悍刀行# topic square on Weibo, but didn't scroll too far down.

"Before Joy of Life started airing, there were a lot of people mentioning him. At that time, it was rumored that you didn't even want to act in the second season. When it first aired, there were even more people mentioning him, basically from the fan circle, especially Hou Minghao's fans. Now, it's the fans of the book Snow in the Snow who have watched the TV series Joy of Life who are saying that they want you to act, so the voice is naturally much louder."

Sun Man hugged the tablet to her chest.

"The better Joy of Life is broadcast, the more Hou Minghao's team wants him to play the role. They should have originally wanted to wait for you to finish filming Little Red Flower before discussing this matter. Didn't Hou Minghao ask you to play basketball in a few days? He should have been talking about this matter. But now that you and Mr. Qu have confirmed that you will play the role, they have nothing to do with it.

“‘Snow’ is an IP that we bought for 200 million yuan. Now ‘Snow’ is also related to the change in the cooperation model of the second season of ‘Joy of Life’. It is safer to let you play the role.

"When you guys are playing, Hou Minghao probably won't be mentioned anymore, he doesn't lack roles to play either, 'Douluo Dalu' is such a popular IP. In our Zhengrong, you are the real prince, Hou Minghao, the top star, is the goose proton fostered by Penguin, and Sheng Ke is the peach proton fostered by Kiwi. You all have a bright future, and none of you lack roles to play."

"Um...is that so?"

Xu Xing scratched his head.

……

As soon as agent Hu Ying walked in, she started talking.

"Boss Qu just said that Xu Xing will play the role in The Snowy Swordsman."

"...Oh," Hou Minghao slowly put away the smile that had just appeared on his face, "Originally, Brother Xing would have been more suitable to play the role."

"It should have been your turn!" Hu Ying said coldly, "He has so many roles to play that he can't even take them all. His Hollywood film contracts are piled up enough to bury the Zhengrong Building, but he just won't act. Why does he have to come and snatch this TV series from you?"

"It was President Qu who bought the IP for Brother Xing."

Hou Minghao smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Zhengrong is a company founded for Xu Xing, and all the IPs in the company were purchased for Xu Xing. Why did Xu Xing choose to act in "Snow" instead of other IPs? Originally, you were going to act in "Snow", Sheng Ke was going to act in the second season of "Celebrating Yu Nian", and he was going to act in Wang Jiawei's masterpiece, a Hollywood blockbuster.

"Boss Qu thinks this is the best situation and the most beneficial to the development of Zhengrong. As a result, Xu Xing is as willful as he wants. With just one word from him, everything about Zhengrong can be overturned. He said that our Zhengrong headquarters will move to Africa tomorrow, and we have to pack our bags and board the plane tonight. Is this how a company is run?"

Hu Ying became more and more angry as she spoke.

Hou Minghao was not allowed to act in the TV series "Detective Chinatown" and was not allowed to act in "Bad Genius". So he can act in the script of "Signal"!

When Liu Haocun was originally scheduled to be unable to play in "Little Red Flower", there was a proposal that Xu Xing would not play the role either, so wouldn't Hou Minghao be able to play the role? But Xu Xing still wanted to play the role!
Xu Xing's team suggested that Hou Minghao and Xu Xing sing "Stay" together to promote the song in the United States, but there was no news. I won't talk about more similar things.

Xu Xing always calls Hou Minghao a good brother who he used to be a trainee with, but in fact, he is better at defending against Hou Minghao than anyone else!
Directly suppress within the company!
Yes, those previous events just made Hu Ying feel that Xu Xing actually never took Hou Minghao seriously.

Now that "Snow" has been snatched away, Xu Xing is clearly not pretending anymore.

We must suppress it!
"But, but isn't the company developing better and better?"

Hou Minghao couldn't even force out an awkward smile.

"Xu Xing is getting better and better," Hu Ying sneered, "Now we have to appease the fans too. Originally, several contacts had received hints that The Snowy Swordsman was yours. But now those oyster mushrooms are starting to slander you for trying to steal Xu Xing's The Snowy Sword. Xiao Hou, you really can't give in this time and you can't let your fans down again.

"When you go to play basketball, ask Xu Xing directly what he means. Tell him that if he really still considers you a brother, he shouldn't steal your copy of Snow. Xu Xing is a face-conscious person. You said before that you didn't ask him for anything except asking him to help recruit you to Zhengrong? If you ask him this time, he will definitely be embarrassed to refuse."

"..."

Hou Minghao looked embarrassed.

"Otherwise I'll go with you and I'll tell him."

Hu Ying's face was grim.

"But...but we don't have to perform 'Snow Swordsman'."

Hou Minghao sighed again.

"Why does he have to act in it?" Hu Ying said in a disappointed tone, "Look at Zhengrong's Joy of Life, Do You Know, and The Bad Kids, and think about when you were filming Xinli's Douluo Continent. Xiao Hou, didn't you realize that Zhengrong's production level is far superior to other companies? We are all Zhengrong people, why don't you let Xiao Hou act in Zhengrong's own dramas?"

"..."

Hou Minghao really wanted to say, isn’t it because the pay for acting in the inner dramas is very low?
But Zhengrong's acting is indeed outstanding.

……

"The role of 'Snow Swordsman' was still given to Xu Xing."

"Oh?" Sheng Ke put down his phone. "They must be really angry over there."

"He must be furious," manager Zhang Shan smiled, "but Mr. Qu didn't say that Hou Minghao must play the role, and we haven't even discussed it yet. Mr. Qu has not given in before, which actually means that if Xu Xing doesn't want to play the role, it will be someone else's turn. "Snow" is the most expensive IP in our company, and the number of views of Hou Minghao's previous dramas was just so-so. Even "The Untamed" didn't go viral, it was just a big hit in the fan circle.

"Boss Qu sees it very clearly. That's why, seeing how popular Joy of Life is, they are even more anxious about Snow Blade. Unlike Douluo Continent, which only has the name of screenwriter Wang Juan, Snow Blade will be the real team of Joy of Life. This IP is bigger than Joy of Life in the male channel, and has higher evaluation than Douluo Continent. Hey, the more I talk about it, the more I feel that it would be great if you could play the role."

“I can’t act.”

Sheng Ke smiled and shook his head.

Zhang Shan shrugged helplessly.

"Yes, in Zhengrong, everything belongs to Xu Xing. Only after Xu Xing has picked out the rest, it will be the turn of others. We just need to remember this. If they can't remember it, President Qu and Xu Xing will definitely make them remember it."

"..." Sheng Ke smiled silently, "If we ask Xu Xing to help speak up for the producer of the second season of Youth With You next year, it should be a sure thing. Didn't you say they want to invite Lisa from Blackpink? Maybe they will ask Xu Xing to pass on a message to YG. And Xu Xing did such a big favor to Kiwifruit when recording Summer of Love. We can never use it all. It would be a pity if we don't use it."

Zhang Shan thought about it.

"Let me ask Sun Man first."

"Well," Sheng Ke nodded, "Sister Shan, I think you are too cautious. Xu Xing should be happy to help pass on the message. We are not trying to steal his things, but to make money for him. He... is a person who really wants to see others work hard and make progress. Cai Jini was the producer of the first season this year, and his performance was mediocre. In terms of giving the audience a sense of freshness, I am more suitable. How can I let him be the producer every year?"

"That's right," Zhang Shan nodded, "Then 'stay'..."

"Just wait until he releases it officially, and then try to get a collaborative version. It's best not to think about a collaborative single." Sheng Ke said, picked up his phone, and continued to surf the Internet.

……

"You all have followed His Majesty for so long, don't you understand His Majesty's intentions? Enthusiastic cooperation and non-competition, a good balance between these two points is what His Majesty would like to see most."

Yang Mi, who was dressed in a white palace dress, chuckled softly with her throat pinched.

Xu Xing frowned deliberately and glanced at her.

Meng Ziyi, who was wearing a black palace dress, was trying hard to adapt to the embarrassment and keep a low profile, but suddenly her eyes lit up and she spoke with some hesitation.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's heart is as deep as the sea. I dare not make any rash guesses~"

"Pfft~"

"Hangchihhangchi~"

"Hahahaha~"

The three people next to them were laughing so hard that they were shaking with laughter.

Xu Xing almost couldn't hold it in.

Also convinced.

As soon as I returned to the villa, I saw that the four of them had all changed into palace costumes and were standing in a row in the living room.

The last time Sun Man told Xu Xing about the "Sisters of the Times", before Xu Xing entered the room, he thought he would see a birthday party table. He was ready to appreciate the "rotten and smelly" food and find a chance to praise, "Lin Xiao, your scolding is really advanced now."

Unfortunately not.

Teacher Yang came out first as a representative, holding a crown and put it on Xu Xing. Then the other three people holding the imperial robe came forward and helped Xu Xing change his clothes.

It made Xu Xing feel really... pretty good.

In fact, this kind of fun is a bit earthy. Xu Xing likes to play this kind of fun with Teacher Tong, whose ultimate form is the evil concubine who brings disaster to the country. But no one wears the imperial robe when playing. Xu Xing often pretends to be a loyal minister who works hard for the empire.

But the four of them standing in a row, they are good-looking, well-dressed, and their makeup is not simple work. Xu Xing should give them high praise and affirmation.

Then just pretend to be a local emperor.

Then I felt that it was really difficult for the emperors in ancient times to avoid being distracted by pleasure.

Compared to the four faces last time, these four are more good-looking and more mature overall. They are all at the peak of their age and have all been nurtured by Xu Xing for a long time. Except for Meng Ziyi who is a little shy, the others are more relaxed.

After all, Mibana can be said to be the trio that Xu Xing has experienced the most. The tacit understanding among the three has been cultivated long ago, and Meng Ziyi is also smart by nature. In addition, the three sisters are all caring and take care of her, so she quickly integrated into the group.

Her hair is disheveled, her clothes are fluttering, her eyes are hazy, her muscles are plump but her bones are weak, the rain hits the pear blossoms, and the orioles are singing.

Such a beautiful scenery can make people indulge in it without knowing the time has passed.

The occasional random thoughts, or "Who said their acting is bad? Aren't they all acting well? There is no trace of acting at all!"

But after all, it is a group, and one can still feel that the Jiaxing duo still has small groups, and Nazha and Meng Ziyi, the pair of Beijing Film Academy campus beauties, are "forced" to stick together.

Then, Nazha and Meng Ziyi's faces put together do look more suitable than Nazha and Reba's faces put together. Gorgeous looks are also divided into different types. Nazha and Meng Ziyi are both gorgeous types, with closer face shapes, and the well-painted big red lips together are really pleasing to the eye.

So much so that during the half-time break, Teacher Yang secretly found Xu Xing and complained that Xu Xing was biased.

At the beginning again, Reba was much more proactive than before.

The only real rest time for Xu Xing was the three days after the filming was completed, and all three days were given to the Di Mi and Meng Za duo.

After changing more than a dozen outfits in three days, the Times sisters went on stage the next day, followed by the stewardesses serving the first-class cabin, the teachers tutoring the students, and the doctors and nurses taking care of the patients...

I’ve experienced them separately before, but when combined together, they shine in a whole new light.

Compared to last time when I only experienced it every night after returning from the crew, this time it was an uninterrupted experience for three days.

The most intense episode!
Xu Xing had to admit that he had indeed felt the limits of human nature.

It also made Xu Xing start to reflect again after a long time: What is the meaning of such a life?

Interesting!
But I just couldn’t help but reflect!
So interesting that I can’t help but reflect on it!
People!
Are you really more inherently depraved?
Is it your instinct to indulge yourself like this?
Ugh!
three days later.

Xu Xing stood in the bright courtyard in the morning light. He felt lazy both physically and mentally, but he could still clearly feel the beauty of the vitality of all things reviving in the tranquility.

Even though I was standing barefoot on the grass, my feet were wet with dew, but I could still feel the heat rising from the soles of my feet, running through my whole body, and I felt…

It was like turning into a solar photovoltaic panel, drawing energy from the sun, making the inner self that was in the process of circulation stronger.

"Hey!"

"..."

“Why are you standing in the yard without clothes???”

"..."

“Are you stupid???”

Sun Man finally couldn't help but pushed Xu Xing hard.

"what?"

Xu Xing staggered to his feet and came to his senses.

Smiling at Sun Man in front of him.

"Manman, you're here to deliver breakfast."

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

Sun Man frowned in disgust.

"what?"

Xu Xing lowered his head and glanced.

It really is……

He hurried back to his room and put on a bathrobe.

Sitting upright on the sofa.

All negative energy, vulgar tastes and human animal instincts are all excreted, dissipated and completely sealed.

The Xu Xing of today is more noble, holy, and great than ever before.

If Ms. Zhen suddenly appeared in the living room and told Xu Xing that she wanted to paint a statue of a god with a halo on its head, Xu Xing would not criticize her for trying to flatter him.

smile.

He raised his hand slightly to signal.

Secretary Sun can start speaking now.

Sun Man glanced at Xu Xing, then went to put breakfast for four people in the kitchen. Then she came out, looked at Xu Xing who was still smiling sweetly, and spoke.

"Fortress at Sea is released today."

"Oh? Yes."

Xu Xing remembered that today was 0809, "Fortress at Sea".

Sun Man ignored Xu Xing's pretended gentle tone and continued speaking.

"'Fortress at Sea' didn't start pre-sales until yesterday, the day before its release, and the final pre-sales amounted to only 3600 million, which is an average performance. The first show hasn't come out yet, and we have to wait until noon to get the first wave of more objective feedback."

“It’s okay,” Xu Xing smiled and waved her hands. “It’s just a flop movie. Even if you photoshop my head onto Lu Han’s body, it won’t save the movie.”

"..."

Sun Man couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Although Xu Xing was telling the truth, there was no need for him to make such bubbling sounds!

If Sun Man had not seen the extremely terrifying true nature of Xu Xing, who was naked, when she entered the yard, she would have felt that Xu Xing had finally exhausted himself after sleeping for three days.

"Manager Sheng Ke wants you to help talk to Kiwifruit. He wants to be the producer of the second season of Youth With You next year. This year it was Cai Jini. Cai Jini is from Kiwifruit and he might do it again next year."

"Do you want me to tell you?"

Xu Xing, who had been smiling, frowned slightly.

"No need," Sun Man shook his head, "If you think it's okay, I'll go and talk to you."

"is it hard?"

Xu Xing asked.

"It's not difficult. In fact, I don't need to tell you. Kiwi still wants to invite Lisa. I'll let Sheng Ke and Lisa shoot a challenge, and then find a few marketing accounts to hype it up. If Zhang Shan still can't help Sheng Ke get it, Sheng Ke doesn't deserve to let you ask for it."

Sun Man smiled.

"good."

Xu Xing clapped his hands and smiled.

"No, Xu Xing, could you please stop smiling like that? It really doesn't look smart!"

Sun Man finally couldn't help but complain.

"Ah?" Xu Xing was suspicious, "Really?"

"Hmm."

Sun Man held his forehead with his hand.

He took out his cell phone and prepared to record what happened to Xu Xing, then make it into an emoticon package and send it to Xu Xing, and then disgust her back.

"But I smiled because I saw that Manman was so beautiful in the morning light and I felt that the whole world was so beautiful."

Xu Xing sighed softly.

"..."

Sun Man shuddered all over and even felt her cheeks getting shamefully hot.

Outrageous!

too disgusting!

Get up and go.

When she was almost at the door, she remembered to turn around and give a warning.

"I'm going to play basketball with Hou Minghao this afternoon, so stop messing around in the morning."
