The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 451 You Want to Destroy Her

Cheng Xiao's career as a singer has not been ideal. To put it in perspective, it is difficult but tenacious.

Excluding the most recent song "Spring Red Envelope" that allowed them to perform on the Spring Festival Gala and has not yet been publicly released, Xu Xing has given her a total of four songs.

The most important determining factor for Cheng Xiao's songs is Lihua's positioning of her.

She was originally a returning girl idol, but her love affair was suddenly exposed. However, she couldn't just change her career immediately. She said that she would release a breakup press release in a few months. She still has to continue to be a traffic idol in the future, and at the same time cross over to acting.

Du Hua thinks so.

That was in 18. Du Hua felt that Cheng Xiao should take an international route, so she decided to release English songs.

Considering the most important environment:

At that time, Cheng Xiao and Xu Xing officially announced their relationship and were being madly insulted by King Oyster Mushroom. Even wreaths were sent to Lihua, and there were people squatting downstairs of Lihua on a daily basis.

Considering Cheng Xiao's personal conditions——

The songs of the little divas from Europe and America have very strong personal imprints, but Cheng Xiao’s voice and singing skills are only average even when she sings Chinese pop songs.

So I finally chose "Lovely" as the first song.

When the official announcement was made that she was going to release a single, everyone thought she was going to be bold enough to show off her affection when they saw the song title. King Oyster Mushroom had already said that he was going to "assassinate" her at her event.

But after it was released, it turned out to be a particularly sad song, the purpose of which was to give an "explanation" to Cheng Xiao's almost dying fans.

The song starts with “Thought I found a way”, I thought I found a way out.

And "I hope some day I'll make it out of here", I hope I can leave here one day.

"Need a place to hide but I can't find one neat."

I couldn't find a place to hide.

"Isn't it lovely all alone?"

Isn't it good to be alone?

I repeated it many times, "hello welcome home", hello, welcome home.

This song was originally a collaboration between Billie Eilish and Khalid. Xu Xing also specifically contacted Khalid, the new Grammy Award winner for Best New Artist, for Cheng Xiao.

The money is enough, all you need to do is provide the sound, and the demo sounds pretty good.

Actually, Xu Xing originally wanted Cheng Xiao to sing the song by herself, a depressive little song.

But Du Hua was bargaining for Cheng Xiao to be publicly recognized as Xu Xing's girlfriend. Xu Xing only gave her an English song, which Du Hua thought was mediocre.

Collaborating with the Grammy Award for Best New Artist is particularly important and I care about Cheng Xiao's performance.

Then, the most popular version on the Internet is the solo version sung by Mao Shua Ge without Cheng Xiao's voice.

The execution was too brutal, and the English pronunciation was also criticized...

For the song "Lovely", Xu Xing also used an alias, in English, named Kurt, but everyone knew that it was Xu Xing.

If Lihua is capable of inviting the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, it will definitely first invite Wang Yibo to work with it.

Later, at the end of 18, the breakup press release of Xu Xing and Cheng Xiao was released, and Xu Xing was also photographed having dinner with Li Bingbing and Zhou Ye, with Zhou Ye being suspected to be her rumored girlfriend.

Du Hua wants a new, strong, independent and sober Cheng Xiao, and wants dance music.

Cheng Xiao released his second song "Salt", a song about breaking up.

Although this song may be a bit rustic, retro disco is making a comeback in the European and American music scene. Singing skills are not the key, and it does not require the sense of power that Cheng Xiao cannot sing. It mainly depends on the arrangement.

The lyrics can be slightly changed, mainly because the part may irritate the King Oyster Mushroom, "you're the snake pulling my arm", you are like a poisonous snake wrapping around me.

Kurt was also used in this song, and netizens believed that this was Xu Xing’s breakup gift to Cheng Xiao.

Lihua took the time to carefully shoot an MV, in which Cheng Xiao looked exceptionally beautiful. The song had quite a lot of plays and became Cheng Xiao's representative work.

However, the EP containing this song that Lihua released for Cheng Xiao was a miserable flop, with sales of only 20 yuan.

Among them, 15 were earned by Lihua and Xu Xing.

In addition, after two songs, Lihua did not plan to spend a lot of money to let Cheng Xiao enter the United States, and Cheng Xiao’s vocal performance in "Salt" was also criticized.

Du Hua believed that Cheng Xiao's future direction was actually acting, so she began to ask for fewer songs and instead asked Xu Xing to write a good script for Cheng Xiao.

So last summer, the third song Xu Xing gave to Cheng Xiao was "Summer Washing Stones".

In this song, Xu Xing changed his name to "Wang Qi".

Compared with the previous two songs, this song mainly relies on the riff, and the vocals are not critical at all. It is completely fine to change the original male voice to a female voice. Xiao Bao is weak and has a lazy summer feeling.
Du Hua felt that this song was very ordinary and was not interested in it at all. He didn't even shoot a MV for it. However, "Summer Soseki" still became a hit on Tik Tok thanks to that riff.

Only then did Du Hua turn around and make another MV for Cheng Xiao.

The last song was released in October last year.

Cheng Xiao, who had just returned from the beach after filming the MV for "Summer Shuseki", chatted with Xu Xing on WeChat and said that because of this song, Du Hua urged her to ask Xu Xing for more songs, and complained to Xu Xing about Du Hua's change in attitude.

But she has already decided that she will only release songs next year. She also wants to sing her favorite sweet songs and doesn't want to sing English songs anymore. She just doesn't listen to Du Hua.

After complaining about Du Hua, Cheng Xiao talked about the situation during the filming and said that he really wanted to go to the beach with Xu Xing when he had time.

Xu Xing just threw "I Want to Go to the Beach" to her.

Originally she said she would release it next year, but Du Hua was annoyed and complained that she was lazy every day, so she recorded it in advance and released it.

The most catchy song, the most mediocre one, the one with the worst performance, but it was also the one when Cheng Xiao sang it most happily.

At the same time, people began to speculate online whether she was in love again.

Cheng Xiao returned to China to record "Idol Producer" and immediately started dating Xu Xing. In the eyes of netizens, she is a love-brained person.

Wang Qi's pseudonym has not been doubted, as there are too many new songwriters and composers emerging every year.

The song "Spring Red Envelope" was written under the pseudonym of Zhang Ruonan's song "Love You 105 Degrees", Li Zhe.

——The six people who are going to perform on the Spring Festival Gala this time are Cheng Xiao, Zhou Jieqiong, Meng Ziyi, Zhang Ruonan, Li Yitong and Ouyang Nana. Meng Ziyi is really good. Chen Yuqi didn't want to perform, Xu Xing asked Chen Dulin, but Chen Dulin declined. Previously, Chen Yuqi said she would bring Chen Dulin to the group rehearsal, but nothing happened.

In addition, Xu Xing also wrote Liu's annotations for Zhou Jieqiong's "Silk Pulling Play" and "Ninety Thousand Words".

Zhou Jieqiong’s singing skills are slightly better than Cheng Xiao’s, but not much better, so her covers are more popular than the originals.

Although Zhou Jieqiong's specialty is playing the pipa, her current management team did not intend to give her a fixed ancient beauty persona from the beginning. After all, she was a member of a Korean group at the beginning, and the songs prepared for her by the team were also dance-style.

It was purely because Xu Xing liked it personally that I gave her the songs I had saved a long time ago, and I will give her more later.

In addition, in order to please Xu Xing, Zhou Jieqiong often took photos in ancient costumes. She was transformed by Xu Xing, and many people's first impression of her is the image of a young lady obsessed with ancient style.

To the extent that, although Cheng Xiao is much more popular than Zhou Jieqiong now.

But on various video platforms, if background factors are not taken into consideration, Zhou Jieqiong is more likely to get the opportunity to play the female lead in a costume drama than Cheng Xiao.

Back to Xiao Bao and Wang Qi.

Xu Xing understood the situation.

It turned out that she updated a photo on Xiaohongshu at noon today - the music score of "Want to Go to the Beach".

However, she used a star-shaped clip to clip Wang Qi's name in the upper right corner.

Then delete it immediately.

Now that the whole internet is laughing at her for being treated like garbage by Xu Xing, Cheng Xiao posted this photo, which is indeed equivalent to telling everyone:

"Wang Qi is Xu Xing. Xu Xing obviously has always liked me very much! We broke up on the surface, but in fact we are still in a sweet relationship~ From Kurt to Wang Qi, Xu Xing has never been separated from me~"

……Why!

Xu Xing sighed.

"Won't my fans explode?"

"The whole internet went wild," Sun Man shrugged. "Now everyone is convinced that you definitely did Ghost Invitational. You've been helping her release songs for two years, using two pseudonyms. You like her so much that it's impossible for you not to ask about her dramas. It's just that you pushed your woman too hard and messed it up." "...Okay."

Xu Xing had no choice.

We cannot expect everyone to be completely obedient, to not fight, quarrel, or make a fuss, or to not have any emotions that they want to vent.

Reba and Nazha still show off their stars on Weibo from time to time. Those who really listen and follow the instructions just stagger the time so that one person won’t post something and the other will respond immediately.

Like Cheng Xiaoxiu and Wang Qi, their original intention was to express their love for Xu Xing. How could Xu Xing be too harsh on them?

No!

We can't tolerate it either!

Originally, because Cheng Xiao had the title of girlfriend and enjoyed many preferential treatments from Xu Xing, many women were jealous.

The breakup announcement has been out for more than a year, and suddenly they say they haven't broken up. Could it be that they don't have any other ideas?

What should I do if everyone starts to follow suit?
The entertainment industry is not Xu Xing’s own harem…

Xu Xing picked up his phone and opened WeChat. Sure enough, all the messages were sent to him.

With Teacher Yang like this, Cheng Xiao directly said that she felt sorry for Reba, which was a bit too much.

Reba herself had a dazed expression.

There is also Zhou Jieqiong who said that she really wanted to let everyone know that Liu Jian was Xu Xing, but if Xu Xing disagreed, she would never do it.

Nazha has shared "Lost Songs" again on Weibo.

This was written by Xu Xing a long time ago, long before any other woman, and he sang it for her to comfort her.

Zhou Yeshi——【[Crying] If you want to officially announce your relationship, please consider letting me do it! 】

Tian Xiwei——[I have already signed up for the vocal class. [Struggle]]

Wang Churan——[[Grievance]]

Zhang Ruonan——[I just recorded myself singing "Love You at 105 Degrees" again, I really want to post it...]

Meng Ziyi——[It’s our lucky star’s turn now! [Poor]]

Zhao Jinmai——[Is this kind of thing allowed...]

Chen Yuqi——[[covering mouth and laughing]]

That's how they are.

The sisters were basically all teasing. They all knew that Cheng Xiao most likely did not follow orders this time and did it on her own.

After a quick look, Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for Nazha, who has become more and more arrogant after meeting Yu Murong, everyone else is relatively stable.

——But Nazha hasn’t gotten so arrogant that Xu Xing can’t accept it. She will definitely give her an extra scolding next time, but the stricter she is, the happier she will be.

They are now mainly putting pressure on Xu Xing and want to know if Cheng Xiao is really the most special one?
"I've already told the others not to cause more trouble now. You absolutely cannot let Cheng Xiao resume her status as your girlfriend this time."

Sun Man said calmly.

"Yes," Xu Xing nodded to encourage Sun Man's actions, and then asked, "Has Cheng Xiao left?"

"She hadn't when I came over. She said she wanted to stay another night. I told her there were other women that night, but she said she didn't care. Do you want to kick her out?"

Sun Man asked.

"Well, that's not necessary, but she hasn't called me yet. Is she waiting for me to call her?"

Xu Xing complained and called Cheng Xiao.

[The user you dialed is currently on the phone...]
"Is she talking to Du Hua on the phone?"

After Xu Xing finished speaking, Sun Man also made a phone call and quickly hung up.

"It should be. Du Hua is also on the phone. Her behavior is also a headache for Du Hua. Although the online drama "Detective Chinatown" has fallen into a pit, it is generally positive for her development. Now her fans are going crazy again, and your fans will not let her go."

“Can the heat be contained?”

Xu Xing asked.

"Okay," Sun Man nodded. "After all, it's just gossip without even being in the same frame. But for the netizens who already know about this, they will assume that you have always been together. Now your fans are attacking the studio and Liu Cheng, hoping that we will issue a denial statement. Should we do it?"

"There's no need for that. Just find some marketing accounts to make up a statement and say that I'm really not that person or something like that."

"Row."

As they were talking, Xu Xing and Sun Man's phones rang at the same time.

Xu Xing’s call was from Cheng Xiao, and Sun Man’s call was probably from Du Hua.

Just connected.

"Punish me."

"Yes. Did you cry?"

"Didn't cry."

"Really?"

"Really? Watch the video if you don't believe me."

"Okay. But have you ever thought about what this is doing to yourself—"

"I've thought about it. I've thought about it all. I can't sing, I can't act, I can't dance well, I can't be a superstar. Cheng Xiao, who will never achieve anything great in his life, can only be a small idol and let others know that I have always been your idol."

"..."

"Just this once, okay? Don't deny it publicly, please..."

She didn't sound like she was about to cry, but she sounded particularly humble and pitiful.

So Xu Xing said.

"it is good."

After hanging up her call, Sun Man also finished her call.

"Du Hua is very angry. She thinks you were the one who drugged Cheng Xiao last night. She keeps saying that you want to ruin Cheng Xiao. I told you that you are still filming. Do you want to return her call?"

"No." Xu Xing shook her head. "If it's really necessary, she will come directly to me."

"Okay, so what do you say after you finish talking to Cheng Xiao on the phone? Do you still do it the same way you did just now?"

Sun Man asked again.

"Even if Wang Qi is Xu Xing, does that mean Xu Xing is still dating Cheng Xiao?"

Xu Xing asked back.

Sun Man was silent.

"it is good."

Sun Man left in a hurry. The team was still waiting for her to convey her opinions and start subsequent public relations actions.

Even though the outside world is in chaos, Xu Xing should just concentrate on filming.

This kind of thing will not have any substantial impact on Xu Xing, only a small impact.

For example, Ms. Tang Yan looked at Xu Xing with a look that was hard to describe.
