The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 462: The Map of Yan State Is Too Long

"Blinding Lights", this super nuclear explosion single, has long been stored by Xu Xing.

The 19-week championship achievement of "Old Town Road" is a peak record achieved through various marketing methods. Although "Blinding Lights" only won the championship for 4 weeks, it is an even more amazing and invincible king of endurance.

No. 20 on Billboard's Hot 43 of the Decade chart, spent 57 weeks in the top five, 90 weeks in the top ten, and 18 weeks on the chart. Even when it was forced off the chart last week, it was still ranked top !

It has not been on the Spotify playlist for n consecutive years.

Xu Xing couldn't miss such a single.

The demo was made very early, and it was produced together with "stay" in a music studio in Los Angeles last year.

John originally hoped that Xu Xing would release "Stay" first on the phone, because after Xu Xing performed this song at the Coachella Music Festival last year, fans have been urging her to release a studio version.

First release the studio version of "stay" as a warm-up, announce Xu Xing's return, and then release "blinding lights" to make a big move. This can also avoid the impact of the current international situation. Maybe in a few months, the two countries will resume flights and the situation will return to peace.

He also knew that Xu Xing's fan club had been temporarily shut down.

But Xu Xing disagreed, saying that she couldn't wait to give the latest gift to her fans who had been waiting for a year.

Because in the previous life, the situation did not improve until the end of October, and Xu Xing was busier at that time and had no time to go to the United States again.

So I posted “blinding lights”.

The song has been produced in advance, and the lyrics version was released first when the MV was launched, because Xu Xing had time to shoot the official MV only after he finished filming the "Fanhua" crew.

The original plan was to shoot the MV mainly in Hollywood, and then add a few shots of Xu Xing there later.

However, Hollywood crews have been suspended since March, while domestic productions have gradually resumed work in March. Now the time for Hollywood to resume work is still unknown.

Therefore, we can only shoot in the country.

After the official announcement that the new English single would be released on June 6, Xu Xing immediately started filming the MV.

The original late night fantasies and roar of sports cars are still very suitable for this song, and it’s still the same now.

Overall, Zhen Huaiwei is still in charge.

"In fact, I didn't do anything. It was all done by the subordinates. Being a hands-off boss is indeed relaxing. Every day, I only need to take a look at the plans they handed over, respond, and then I can be lazy the rest of the time. It's just that I have been locked up at home for the past six months, and I am a little bored."

Zhen Huaiwei folded her arms and leaned on the table with a smile on her face.

Originally, Zhen Huaiwei would meet Xu Xing at least once a month, and the last time she saw Xu Xing was when Xu Xing returned to the capital in early February.

Then we met in the studio today.

I was busy all the time, and only had time to come over and chat after I almost finished filming.

"Are you really lazy?" Xu Xing asked with a smile. "At the LV men's fashion show, Abloh told me that you almost asked about everything and made him find many problems that he hadn't noticed. I just overheard someone in your studio complaining that you asked them to make nearly a hundred filter solutions alone."

"Who said that?" Zhen Huaiwei frowned immediately, "How can there be so many? And what's the trouble with adjusting the filter? She even complains about this kind of work. I think she wants to quit!"

“Haha~” Xu Xing laughed out loud, “I made it up. Abloh’s call was real. Why do you look a bit like Qu Mingzhen now?”

"Uh..." Zhen Huaiwei was embarrassed. "This is just my first time to participate in the preparation of a fashion show press conference. There were many things I didn't understand when I was learning, so I asked a few more questions. I'm not like her, right..."

In February and March of this year, fashion weeks around the world were cancelled and the fashion industry also pressed the pause button.

The 2021 Spring/Summer Men's Fashion Show to be held in Haikou will be the first time that LV has moved the venue from Paris to Haikou. It will also be the world's first offline fashion show after the epidemic.

This fashion show was originally confirmed when Xu Xing went to Paris to watch the show last year.

However, in the current situation, it has some extra meaning, and men's wear design director Virgil Abloh also adjusted the theme of the show to "Drifting Bottle".

In another month, the costumes for this show will be loaded into containers along the Seine River, then sail downstream, out of Paris, across the ocean to Hai City. After the show, they will be exhibited in Tokyo, Japan, and then cross two oceans back to Paris.

In the past few months, most of Zhen Huaiwei's work has been in collaboration with LV China staff to prepare for this big show, and the related visual design released by "Blinding Lights" is only a small part.

"Indeed, there are a lot of similarities between you two."

Xu Xing smiled.

Perhaps Zhen Huaiwei heard Xu Xing's subtext, and gave Xu Xing a cold look.

As they were chatting, Xu Xing saw Chen Dulin poking her head out of the door, so he waved to her to come in and said something.

"Close the door."

Chen Dulin closed the door, walked over cautiously, and was about to sit down on another sofa when Xu Xing pulled her into his arms and let her sit on his lap.

Chen Dulin blushed so much that she wanted to struggle but couldn't.

Although Xu Xing could do this, it meant that her guess should be correct. This woman who was cold and aloof, elegant and calm, with porcelain-white skin, tall figure, ageless, and as delicate as a sculpture - these words came to Chen Dulin's mind the first time she saw Zhen Huaiwei. She should also be Xu Xing's woman.

Although she had participated in 2- and 3-person groups in Hai City before.

But that was in hotels and villas, this was in the lounge in the studio or...

Chen Dulin lowered his head and tried to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but it seemed that he could only crawl into Xu Xing's arms.

"When we were chatting before, I felt that she was a shy sister. No wonder Xiaoxing likes her so much."

Zhen Huaiwei couldn't help but joke.

"Compared to my thick skin, who has a thicker skin?"

Xu Xing also laughed.

"You're helping me out~"

Zhen Huaiwei deliberately whispered in surprise and continued to joke.

Chen Dulin became even more embarrassed. Xu Xing's hand...he even kissed her hot cheek.

"What's there to say about this, Dudu, this is Sister Wei, not an outsider."

"Sister Wei~"

Chen Dulin shouted softly.

"Haha, Dudu~ the nickname sounds nice too."

Zhen Huaiwei praised again.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chen Dulin, who was becoming increasingly weak, found an excuse to call his agent and left the lounge.

As soon as Chen Dulin left, Zhen Huaiwei was about to continue teasing Xu Xing, but she was pulled into Xu Xing's arms again.

"You're finally jealous!"

Xu Xing smiled and sighed.

"I do not have."

Zhen Huaiwei denied it.

But he quickly admitted that he was indeed jealous.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, and we didn't even have a hug. He hugged and kissed other women first..."

she whispered.

When Chen Dulin returned to the lounge again, Zhen Huaiwei, with an abnormal blush on her face, had just stood up from the ground. When she looked at her with her sparkling eyes, she realized that this woman who was like a work of art could also be so seductive.

But... this is only natural.

Xu Xing hugged Zhen Huaiwei and then hugged Chen Dulin.

"Warm-up is over, let's go back to the hotel."

Well, Chen Dulin is the heroine of "Blinding Lights". Although she only has two shots, she is also the only woman in the MV.

After Chen Dulin was bullied by King Oyster Mushroom, or bullied by Jinx Star disguised as King Oyster Mushroom, Xu Xing invited her to star in the new single MV, which was a choice that netizens could not find fault with and even gave a thumbs up to.

After the official announcement of the new single’s release trailer, it was revealed online that the female lead this time would be Chen Dulin, and some gossip that Xu Xing and Chen Dulin had rekindled their old love began to emerge.

The little black fans mocked King Oyster Mushroom for bringing it upon himself, saying that the "Hongqiao Airport Incident" forced Xu Xing to relive his old dreams.

Netizens also said that this rumor is possible. The anti-explosion CP in "The Beginning" was well-liked by everyone. It would be best if Xingsheng directly announced it and continued to hit the brainless fans!
——In fact, this is one of the reasons why Xu Xing chose Chen Dulin as the heroine. It is not an official announcement, but to let extreme fans see that their extreme behavior will only backfire. Later, Xu Xing will also help Chen Dulin get the title of LV brand ambassador, and it will be officially announced after the Haishi fashion show in August, just to make a high-profile compensation!
Now Xu Xing's haters are still in a long comfort period. Cheng Xiao jumped on the face of King Oyster Mushroom and broke the defense, proving that King Oyster Mushroom is actually high in attack and low in defense. King Oyster Mushroom bullied Chen Dulin and was condemned by the whole network, and the fan club was directly closed, which was second only to the collapse of Xingchu's house that year!

Then, I became a lucky saint...

The King Oyster Mushroom wanted to take this opportunity to counterattack, but they dared not do so openly. Some of the King Oyster Mushrooms, unable to hold back, thought about taking the opportunity to spread rumors that the fan club would be resurrected early, but even the King Oyster Mushrooms had to try their best to suppress these voices.

And now, Xingchu suddenly announced that he is going to release a new English single.

The fan circle is full of condemnation!
Everyone is waiting for this big rollover!
Not long ago, "Your Answer" exposed that Xing Chu has run out of ideas, at least in terms of music. Last year's "As Wish" was just an accident or actually Xing Chu bought someone else's song. The country, which has been poisoned by the TikTok divine songs, will still have a "climax" to songs like "Your Name", but Americans will not indulge Xing Chu!

The bunch of gay guys in the Billboard bar were not optimistic and all advised Xingchu not to release a new single, but to release the song "Stay" first.

Obviously, one of the purposes of releasing the single at this time is to once again mobilize the massive public opinion and try to help his inferior song to top the B chart!
Fortunately, the fan club has been closed, so it is impossible to organize the chart-topping campaign in a high-level manner. At a time when money is needed in this country, even if some King Oyster Mushroom sites want to raise funds for the chart-topping campaign, they can only do it secretly.

Judging from the quality of music and the strength of fans, fortunately, they won’t be able to hit the top of the charts again this time!
Will netizens really buy it?

In fact, although King Oyster Mushroom has repeatedly popularized how to purchase US downloads online, the threshold has always been there, and most netizens will not really bother themselves. The previous few times have proved that almost no passers-by who want to rush to the charts for Xingchu have succeeded, and the real role they play is just to increase the water content of Xingchu's single download data.

In fact, the purpose of luck is to deceive the American imperial court!

If the new single is directly removed from the B chart by the authorities, it can be marketed again despite being targeted by the United States, and continue to be marketed heavily in the country and act arrogantly!
Xingchu's hypocritical face is clearly revealed!
Then, news came out that Chen Dulin would be the heroine of the MV, which was really hilarious!
Fortunately, they are never disappointed!
Now even King Oyster Mushroom dares not deny the "fact" that Xingchu and Chen Dulin have reunited! They still have to worry about whether Cheng Xiao will jump out again, and whether Reba, Nazha and others will expose Xingchu's nature as a master of time management!
——Luo Zhixiang’s scandal in April introduced a wave of new vocabulary to netizens.

In a sense, the little black guys are looking forward to Xu Xing's order more than the King Oyster Mushroom.

It was a very satisfying night for both Xiao Heizi and Xu Xing!
Dudu is thin-skinned, but he is really funny when he lets go.

She has a scholarly air, which matches well with Ms. Zhen Huaiwei's literary and artistic temperament.

Xu Xing had heard from many people that Zhen Huaiwei was usually aloof and quiet and not easy to get along with, but in front of Xu Xing, that was not the case at all. During every rehearsal, Ms. Zhen was always a gentle and lovely older sister. Under her soft words, Chen Dulin was more relaxed than when they were in a trio before.

In the end, she made Dudu couldn't help but shout...

The next day during breakfast, Dudubao sat on Xu Xing, still in a state of deep intimacy, but his face didn't blush as much as it did yesterday.

"I used to think that she was special to you."

On the way out, Sun Man complained in the car.

"Everyone is special," Xu Xing smiled, "but Manman, you are the most special."

"..." Sun Man pretended to vomit, "I can foresee the day when you put me together with someone else. And you have been wanting to put me together with Lin Yuner for a long time."

"I do not have."

"Not yet means no."

"Indeed not."

"Okay, stop. Do you want to return the call from Korea?"

Sun Man changed the subject.

"Come back, is there anything special Lin Yuner?"

Xu Xing asked.

"It's not her," Sun Man shook her head, "It's Lisa."

"I have nothing to do with her!"

Xu Xing immediately defended himself.

"I know," Sun Man smiled, "but she wants to be with you. The other three people in the BP also want to be with you. Lisa flew to China just for you. After you officially announced the release of your new English single, she wanted to play the female lead in your MV."

Xu Xing was very surprised.

"Ah? You didn't tell her that the female lead had been decided? Why did she fly here without any reason? And if she flies here now, she will have to be quarantined for half a month. Even if we take a step back, how can I wait for her for another half a month?"

"Not even half a month. She flew here half a month ago, and the quarantine ended the day before yesterday. The finals of Youth With You 30 will be on the 2th. They stopped recording the show before the New Year and resumed it in April. Lisa has been recording online. But she decided to come to the finals, and I heard she even prepared a stage."

"That's right, she's here to record a show."

"How can the appeal of this finals be so great? You are the only one who has it. At the beginning of the month, the director team of Youth With You asked me if it was possible to persuade YG to let Lisa come to record the finals, and I refused directly. Then, unexpectedly, Lisa suddenly called me and asked about your wrap date. I said I was not sure. Did Kim Ji-soo ask you?"

“You actually asked.”

"So Lisa came. We resumed work on "Fang Hua" in March, and Director Wang had just promised us that you could wrap up filming in May. After you told John that you could release the order in May, he started to hype it up on the Internet. He stopped only after the situation worsened in April. Your release time and the wrap-up time coincided with the finals of "Youth With You". For Lisa, this trip to China was too attractive."

"Uh... then I'm definitely going to disappoint her. The heroine already has one."

"Anyway, Chen Dulin only has two scenes, so it wouldn't be a big deal to give her more scenes. She called me and wanted to arrange a meeting with you, and she asked me to at least ask you to call her back in person."

"Does she dare to let Kim Ji-soo know about this?"

"Of course she wouldn't dare, otherwise she would have asked Kim Ji-soo for your phone number and called you directly."

"Yeah, I'm not interested in her. Her looks are not up to my standards."

Xu Xing shook his head calmly.

Ms. Lisa's body is only suitable for dancing, but her appearance is really not good. Although she is currently taking advantage of the opportunity of recording Youth With You to market herself as a human Barbie in China, this is her peak period under Korean makeup.

Later she became more and more abstract, not only did she do a Crazy Horse show, she even ran towards Towns, which was really too degrading.

It didn't go overboard in the first place.

"Yuan Quan, you can do it too?" Sun Man said calmly, "Aren't you still going to talk to her about the script of "The Accidental Murderer 3"? "

For the project "The Invisible Guest", the male lead is still being selected, but the female lawyer in the role has indeed been decided early on to be played by Yuan Quan. In all aspects, she is the most suitable.

"...We were just chatting about the script! And Teacher Yuan is really more beautiful than her!"

Xu Xing said something fair.

Besides, "Signal" is about to be released, and there are some promotional materials to be shot with Teacher Yuan.

It's just work!

"But Lisa is younger. You and your teacher Yuan were talking about a simple script. How can it be so simple?"

Sun Man still had a smile on her face.

She is becoming more and more weird!
"We haven't talked yet!"

Xu Xing was really impressed.

Before starting the conversation, Xu Xing didn't expect that her purpose was to come here. It seemed that Manman was still upset about the incident in Thailand!

"Haha~" Sun Man chuckled, "I support you guys chatting at home. It's safer this way. It would still be a bit rushed in the Zhengrong Building."

"..."

Xu Xing was speechless.

"I suggest you meet Lisa for this reason. Sheng Ke has a good impression of Lisa, and his team even issued a press release to hype up the couple. I heard that Sheng Ke showed concern for Lisa many times during the quarantine period. Do you think Lisa has become more attractive all of a sudden?"

Sun Man becomes cuter and cuter the more she smiles.

"……No!"

Xu Xing shook his head decisively.

Okay, so her purpose was to persuade me not to keep staring at... those with families?
"Why not?" Sun Man pouted, "Wouldn't you like the one Sheng Ke likes more? Look at Xing Xin before, in fact, it was because Sheng Ke liked her. That's why you--"

"Alas!" Xu Xing sighed and interrupted her, "Manman, can you just say what you want to say next time? Game development does cost so much money. They started from scratch and had to hire a research and development team, so the initial investment was high. The cost of making 3D games is higher than that of 2D games. I am indeed only optimistic that the O-game market will explode in the future!"

Isn’t it just that 5000 million was transferred in half a year?

There has always been professional financial supervision, and the R&D progress is also under control. The current investment is real.

Her map of Yan State is so long that it has no boundaries.

It was she herself who sent people to see Xing Xin every few days!
