The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 43: Climate Begins

"When does Qu Mingzhen go to work?"

"You're asking me? I'm an artist, how should I know about your management's affairs? But it's only the third day of the Chinese New Year, and the company can't process my resignation, right?"

"Me, management?"

"if not."

"Mainly, I looked at her circle of friends and it seemed like she went abroad for vacation."

“I don’t even have her WeChat.”

"Okay," Liu Cheng nodded and changed the subject, "You really don't have any idea of releasing an album? I know you're very busy, but you'll be free at the end of the year, so you'll still have time to make an album."

"I have no idea," Xu Xing shook her head. "Making an album is too much trouble. I can just release a song occasionally."

“Now your fans are actually fans of your music.”

"I think they are all fans of the look, and "Lost Songs" will be released in a few days." Xu Xing glanced out the car window, "We're here."

Liu Chenggong didn't say anything else, but called to urge the food truck behind him.

The entire "Beginning" crew's messy shooting schedule was all thanks to Xu Xing.

They were in a hurry to start filming before the Spring Festival, and even took more than a week off before the Spring Festival to work on the Spring Festival Gala.

Now that it was time to return to the crew, Xu Xing asked Liu Cheng to prepare a luxurious dining car.

Although it is not necessary, it does show some attitude.

"You've become so popular. Now I finally believe that our show will be a hit."

Chen Dulin smiled as she ate the cake.

"You will also be famous after The Left Ear is released. In fact, I asked my agent to invite you to star in this drama because of The Left Ear."

Xu Xing looked at the script and chatted with her.

We just tried it out and Xu Xing's condition dropped a bit, so the crew took a break to give Xu Xing time to adjust.

Then Chen Dulin came over to chat with Xu Xing.

"Ah? Your agent said at the time that when you were writing the script, you came across my photo by chance, and then you completed the character of the heroine, so you had to have me play the role."

Chen Dulin pursed her lips and looked at Xu Xing.

"Yes."

Xu Xing nodded, without taking his eyes off the script.

"What a perfunctory response," Chen Dulin sighed helplessly and glanced at the gloomy sky. "I believe what you said."

“I just believed that The Left Ear would be a hit.”

Xu Xing added casually.

Chen Dulin suddenly couldn't help laughing. This was how it was when chatting with Xu Xing. He would make some comments that made people laugh and cry from time to time.

But he didn't laugh out loud.

After laughing to himself for a while, Chen Dulin finished the last bite of the cake, went over to get another piece, and came back.

Sit down next to Xu Xing again.

"You've become so popular, now I finally believe—"

“‘Left Ear’ will be a hit.”

Xu Xing finally looked up and interrupted her.

Are you just bored and playing manual reload here?

"Uh...you're almost in."

"Yes."

Xu Xing continued reading the script.

Chen Dulin finally quieted down, then she hugged the small cake and laughed secretly, unable to stop.

The break is over, let’s continue shooting.

On the circular bridge.

Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing began to sort out the clues.

"The police may come to us at any time, let's sort it out ourselves first..."

No matter how popular the Spring Festival Gala is temporarily, it needs to be consolidated with subsequent works.

Filming!

……

"'Lost Songs' will be released tomorrow."

Xu Xing mentioned this during the video call.

“What everyone didn’t know was that I had already heard this song.”

Nazha smiled very happily.

"You are the first one to hear it." Xu Xing also smiled.

In fact, from a pragmatic point of view, there is not much meaning in chatting with Nazha.

But Xu Xing has been reminding himself to maintain the habit of doing some meaningless things.

Especially for Nazha in her current state, if you just smile and show some concern for her, she will be happy for a long time.

This kind of meaningless act of easily providing emotional value to others is just like doing business with fans.

First of all, we should be grateful that they put themselves in a humble position.

They are actually quite stupid.

"Then..." Naza hesitated, "Can you agree to one of my requests, brother?"

"What."

Xu Xing asked.

"Would you mind not singing this a cappella for other people? I want the version you send me to be unique."

Naza's eyes were filled with anticipation and her tone was cautious.

"of course can."

Xu Xing agreed immediately.

Nazha started to giggle happily again.

Xu Xing laughed along with her.

After laughing for a while, Naza asked herself to be serious as much as possible.

"Brother, I did some exercise today, running and squats, and I also practiced my lines like you do every day. I will work hard to improve myself!"

"come on."

Xu Xing encouraged her.

Although I don't think she can last long, nor do I think she can improve anything.

But what if?
As long as her facial features don't fly around when she's acting, which is like disfigurement, being able to play a wooden beauty can be considered a good deed.

……

"Lost Song" is the first song Xu Xing released "honestly".

There is no hype, it is not a commercial collaboration song.

Releasing a song on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is a test of the popularity gained during the Spring Festival Gala.

——Of course, it doesn’t mean that there is no necessary publicity. If we want to launch it quietly, we will still buy the in-APP advertisements that are necessary.

Within one hour of the song being online, it entered the top five of the new songs chart and topped the rising chart. The comments section was full of positive reviews, and there was no sign of the two top fans intending to attack Xu Xing after the Spring Festival Gala.

Over the past seven days, fans of the two top groups have tried various methods to attack Xu Xing, but unfortunately they failed to even capture the comment section of Xu Xing’s Weibo.

In just seven days, Xu Xing's number of Weibo followers soared by 200 million.

Countless passers-by flocked to Xu Xing's comment area to express their love for Xu Xing. Xu Xing's fan club also expanded rapidly, and an anti-black comment control group has been officially formed.

The Xu Xing who was "bullied by others" in the past will no longer exist.

Fans clamored to give Xu Xing "a warm home, an umbrella to protect her from the rain, a sword to cut through the thorns, and a boat to ride the wind and waves."

Although there are still black fans who come to Xu Xing Square to cause trouble from time to time, Xu Xing's fans can already besiege her while using Xu Xing's handsome photos and massive secondary creations (Xu Xing appears too few times) to wash away those Weibo posts, to protect Xu Xing's Square and collect Weibo data at the same time.

It is a fact that Xu Xing survived the first crisis through the Spring Festival Gala, and his momentum has been established.

Now it is still in the period of huge popularity after the Spring Festival Gala. There is no reason in a short period of time, and the fans of the two top stars cannot mobilize their fans to start an all-out war to expose Xing Gou's increasingly obscure mask and tell him what a real top star is.

The power of a top star cannot be concealed by a few maids.

And no matter how much it is hyped up, no matter how much it is rubbed off, even if it is allowed to get on the Spring Festival Gala through the back door, people in the industry still know that a dog is a dog and cannot be put on stage.

A movie that only exists in legend, a third-rate web drama that is said to be written by himself, and a cooperation with Meituan Takeout that was obtained by paying money without any effort. This is the industry's value judgment on Xinggou.

After working on it for half a year, I still couldn't get "Detective Chinatown".

The press release boasted about the exclusive reveal of the Spring Festival Gala, but until now, not even a hint of news about follow-up resources has been released.

Don't be too funny.

……

Don't be too funny.

This is also what Xu Xing is thinking now.

I had just passed a line on the set and was about to take a break when I looked up and saw the producer Ms. Chen Xi and a short man wearing sunglasses standing together not far away.

They came over with a smile.

Walk in front of Xu Xing.

He took off his sunglasses, smiled, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself.

"My name is Chen Sicheng."
