The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 477 It’s hard to calm down

In fact, Xu Xing really felt that there was nothing to talk about with Ms. Liu, and the topics were all very boring.

When there is no one to talk to, you can have a few awkward conversations, but at this dinner, Xu Xing had no shortage of people around him.

Mr. Qu is a big boss who can be aloof, while Xu Xing has always been a friendly and gentle person. Everyone wants to chat with Xu Xing, and Xu Xing finally came to Mr. Qu to have some peace and quiet.

And now Ms. Liu is already planning to gain weight.

At the Weibo Night at the beginning of the year, her lavender princess dress was filled to the brim.

Today she looked a little thinner than she did at Weibo Night, maybe because she didn't eat very well in the past few months abroad. But Xu Xing knew how fast she would "expand" afterwards.

After Weibo Night, Ms. Liu went abroad and began promoting "Mulan" - "Mulan" was originally scheduled to be released in March.

After the movie was withdrawn from the schedule and had no release date, she stayed abroad for several months. She just returned to China recently and was released from quarantine just two days ago.

"Originally I didn't plan to come back so soon because I was waiting to see what was happening with Mulan. But after learning that Haishi was going to hold this big show, and hearing that they had specially arranged the show in Haishi for you, I thought I should participate, so I came back early."

“It’s just a men’s show.”

Xu Xing smiled.

"Yes," Liu Yifei nodded, "but, but I think this show is very important. Because of the current problems, the design director and executives of LV will not be here, and some celebrities may not be willing to attend. I think we should come and show our support, haha~"

Maybe she also felt that what she said was a bit illogical, so she laughed twice in the end to ease the awkwardness.

But Xu Xing understood what she meant.

In fact, there are quite a lot of celebrities who are familiar to you.

But Xu Xing still expressed his gratitude.

“Thank you. This show is very important to Abloh (menswear design director).”

Just be polite.

"I heard he was seriously ill last year? Is he doing well?"

"Not very well."

This is a question that many people asked Xu Xing at the dinner.

After finishing his speech again, Xu Xing was about to say goodbye and leave.

"I had dinner with Tangtang yesterday, and she told me a lot about you. It surprised me a little, but she spoke very highly of you. Well, it's not surprising, it's just that it's rare to see her speak of someone like that."

"I also think highly of Sister Yan."

Xu Xing smiled.

"Aren't you curious about what she thinks of you?"

Ms. Liu kept the secret.

"It's very tall. Didn't you say that? I'm 185cm tall."

Xu Xing told a joke.

Sister Tangtang had already expressed her feelings to Xu Xing in every aspect. She blushed when she talked about many of the things she said. It must be nothing new to Xu Xing to tell Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu immediately couldn't help laughing.

"Puchi~ You are really funny~"

"Thank you for the compliment," Xu Xing smiled and bowed slightly, "Excuse me."

Ms. Liu, who was covering her mouth and laughing, was stunned.

"A-Are you busy?"

"I guess so. The dinner doesn't last long, and many people want to talk to me about something. I don't want to wait until the dinner is over before working overtime."

Xu Xing explained.

Liu Yifei understood with a relaxed expression and nodded to Xu Xing with a smile.

"then you go."

Then, she saw Xu Xing...walking towards Chen Dulin???

The fingers holding the goblet couldn't help but exert more force.

She suddenly felt like Xu Xing was deliberately trying to piss her off? He wanted to get her attention—mainly because Tang Yan had told her yesterday that Xu Xing was good in every way, except that he was a little fickle. As long as the woman was pretty, Xu Xing would be a little uncomfortable.

...Ms. Liu Yifei has never thought about whether she is beautiful or not.

And last year, Wang Churan, as everyone knows, was actually Xu Xing's woman, and she has been marketing Liu Yifei, while she is the original, high-profile...

Tangtang also said that he was a bit bad, which could be seen from Wang Churan's incident. He had so many women, so he must be "scheming".

Therefore, Xu Xing must have been deliberately trying to anger her.

But the problem was, Liu Yifei felt that she had already taken the initiative to show goodwill obviously enough, but Xu Xing still wanted to make her angry... He was chatting happily with Chen Dulin, while he had been smiling faintly just now.

He took a sip of red wine angrily.

Liu Yifei suddenly thought again, did Chen Dulin seem to have marketed Little Liu Shishi before?

Liu Shishi was also marketing her little Liu Yifei in the first place!

Does Xu Xing really like Chen Dulin so much?

I am the original!
Suddenly!

The words Xu Xing said before she left came to mind... Did Xu Xing mean to ask her out after the dinner...

Not quite, but kind of similar.

Xu Xing didn't know what kind of brainstorming Ms. Liu Yifei was doing.

Xu Xing was really busy at this dinner.

Regardless of whether Abloh's previous courtesy and respect for Xu Xing was just a business courtesy, he is currently ill and it seems that he only has a year to live. Xu Xing, who has never liked such occasions, also did his best to fulfill his duties as the protagonist of the dinner.

Xu Xing basically just nodded and said a few words to the stars and fashion influencers who were present, and spent more time chatting with the people in charge of organizing the show about the preparation progress of the show.

One of them is Liu Chong, the current acting editor-in-chief of GQ magazine. In his previous life and future, he could be said to be the most capable person in the domestic fashion circle.

Last year, the Vanity Fair “Look Back” event for GQ magazine’s 10th anniversary was widely praised both inside and outside the circle, making Liu Chong famous overnight.

In the previous life, there were also plans for crazy departure photos and a red carpet on the water.

Not many celebrities can examine the questions well, and their performance is mostly mediocre, but compared to the dullness of other magazines, GQ's celebration at least has a lively atmosphere, and the magazine circle will not be overshadowed by the increasingly grand Weibo Night and annual celebrations of various platforms.

At the end of last year, Xiao Xue, the editor-in-chief who had been in charge of "ELLE" for 13 years, resigned. In addition, Su Mang, the head of "Harper's Bazaar" who founded it 17 years ago, stepped down. In addition, Zhang Yu, the editor-in-chief of "VOGUE China" who has been in office for 16 years and will leave at the end of this year, has ushered in earth-shaking changes against the backdrop of the decline of print media.

In addition to the ideological conflict with the headquarters, an important, or most fundamental reason, is that they can no longer make money.

In the previous life, after Zhang Yu resigned from "VOGUE" China, the internet celebrity Zhang Ning was parachuted in as the editor-in-chief. As a result, "VOGUE", which was once touted as the top five most noble magazines, was eventually abandoned by advertisers, luxury brands, and celebrities. The "VOGUE" celebration was even directly turned into a rural stage.

When the editor-in-chief of the headquarters, Anna Wintour, fired Zhang Ning and was looking for the next successor, Chen Kaige's ex-wife Hong Huang once responded to why she had no intention of taking over: foreign magazines come to China not to create content, but just to make money.

Therefore, Liu Chong eventually became the new editor-in-chief of VOGUE.

After all, GQ now has an annual revenue of over 2 million, which is quite eye-catching in the domestic fashion magazine circle, and Liu Chong is a very key figure there.

For this LV fashion show, GQ was invited as the creative strategy partner to be responsible for the pre-show warm-up and online promotion on the day of the show.

During the chat, Liu Chong, as usual, first expressed special thanks to Xu Xing.

As a men's magazine, GQ's status in the fashion circle is not as good as that of women's magazines. With Xu Xing's current status, the editors-in-chief of the top five magazines beg Xu Xing to be on the cover a year in advance every year, and they fight for her to be on the cover again and again during key months.

After confirming the important months such as the beginning of the season and the beginning of the year, such as September and October, Xu Xing would assign them one, and then it would be the turn of other stars to compete for the rest.

Xu Xing has never refused the cover invitation of GQ magazine every year, and she is on the most important October cover every year.

——This is their founding month and anniversary month. At the beginning, the fans would mock Xu Xing by saying that September is the most important month, but the official Weibo account of GQ magazine personally responded, emphasizing that October is the most important month.

Sometimes Xu Xing will reveal some information that has not yet been made public in interviews. For example, in last year’s October issue, Xu Xing said that an English album might be produced next year, but the earliest it would be officially released would be the year after next.

This is actually to give face to GQ and Liu Chong. Liu Chong also knows this. Therefore, every time he meets Xu Xing at a banquet or contacts him privately, he will first express his gratitude.

Xu Xing advised him not to be so exaggerated, mainly because of his sexual orientation, which made Xu Xing feel weird, so he restrained himself a little.

Liu Chong talked about his plan to make a series called "Ala Daily" to warm up the audience - celebrities will record a few seconds of video to greet the audience, and then he also wants to take a set of creative posters with the theme of "Standing Out" for the celebrities.

Xu Xing agreed with his idea.

Su Mang and Xiao Xue, who had already resigned, and Zhang Yu, who was supposed to be waiting to leave, also came to the dinner. Zhang Yu was still in office, Su Mang liked to join in the fun, and Xiao Xue, who was relatively low-key, particularly liked LV.

They all had a brief chat with Xu Xing.

After Zhang Yu resigned at the end of the year, an era in China's fashion industry came to an end.

Xu Xing didn't feel any emotion.

Xu Xing is not a believer in fashion, it’s just that women like luxury goods and the covers of fashion magazines.

When the dinner was over, many people were still chasing Xu Xing and chatting non-stop. After Sun Man's cold face made them leave, Xu Xing was finally able to go home and rest.

Before leaving, Ms. Liu Yifei came to say goodbye to Xu Xing.

She seemed to be hesitant to speak, but maybe she was just a little tired.

This reminded Xu Xing to send a WeChat message to Sister Tangtang to ask about the situation.

Tang Yan responded faster than expected.

[Oh, yeah, your dinner party tonight. How could I possibly reveal our affairs? [Sad]]

Xu Xing: [I'm just asking, what's wrong? [Laughing and crying]]

Tang Yan: [I feel like it’s not right…]

Xu: [I see what you mean. Don’t you guys do many night scenes now?]

Tang: […What do you know? We finish work pretty early every day, maybe around 7 or 8 at the latest.]

Xu: [Then tomorrow night at nine o'clock.]

Tang: […Why are you like this? [Sad]]

Xu: [You told others nonsense, I will punish you. ]

Tang: [I didn’t!!!]

Xu: [She told me everything, and you still want to lie to me. I know you have a very good relationship.]

Tang: [Ah??? I really don’t have it!!!]

Tang: [What did she get out of you? [Shocked]]

Tang: [I don’t have a particularly good relationship with her. We just filmed a movie together before, and we occasionally keep in touch. We don’t often have dinner together. In fact, I feel that she came to me specifically to ask about you this time, and the topic kept leading to you. ]

Xu: [She is here to attend the dinner.]

Tang: [She came here just for you. She came back without any other official announcement. By the way, did you two have something going on before? I really feel like she's paying too much attention to you.]

Xu: [No, she wanted to play in Joy of Life and talked to me about it, but I didn’t agree. So she held a grudge against me? But it’s probably just because I’m so popular now! She got the role in Mulan soon after that.]

Tang: [17 years... Then I may have figured it out a little bit.]

Xu: [How do you say that?]

Tang: [Let’s talk about it when we meet. I’m not sure.]

Xu: [[Laughing]]

Tang: [No laughing! ]

Xu: [Okay, I won’t laugh. [Laughing][Laughing][Laughing]]

People who say one thing but act another are always particularly interesting.

Just now you were saying “this is not right” and “why is this happening”, but now you are saying “let’s talk about it when we meet”.

Just wait until tomorrow night!
However, the first thing to deal with is tonight.

After some hesitation, Xu Xing decided to let Dudu sleep alone and did not force her to sleep with Teacher Fan again.

After all, I had already fed Teacher Fan in the afternoon, and after surfing the Internet, I found that there was already news online that Teacher Fan had attended tonight's dinner. Her fans, who had been trying to summon her soul for two years, began to rejoice, saying that the Ice Goddess was about to return to the palace, and many marketing accounts were also spreading the news.

The impact is still not very good.

Fashion influencers on Weibo have been praising the significance of this show for a long time.

They also emphasized that the domestic security environment and Xu Xing's personal influence are the most important. Those who want to please Xu Xing's fans even exaggeratedly said that this is a big show held for Xu Xing's sake.

At the dinner party that was held to warm up for such a big show, Teacher Fan appeared... The news that she was being kept in captivity by a lucky woman must be true!!!

In other words, there are rumors circulating that Xu Xing and Ms. Liu Yifei had a great conversation at the dinner party and are suspected to be dating?

It took away some attention.

Then some of Ms. Liu's fans couldn't help but shout "Stay away from me, you filthy bastard!"

Then, the oyster mushrooms that had not been able to enjoy their training and rehabilitation with Chen Dulin rushed forward and directly massacred Ms. Liu's square, and entered her super topic and comment area.

In fact, King Oyster Mushroom has long been unhappy with Ms. Liu and the noodles.

The time can be traced back to 17, starting with the news that Ms. Liu was suspected of starring in "Joy of Life", returning to TV series after many years.

Then, at the Bazaar Charity Night, the two were seated together, which led to some gossips made up by black fans.

After the official announcement of "Mulan", some online fans began to save face for Li Yitong, who is the heroine of "Joy of Life", saying that she is a Disney princess, so how could she fall in love with a female lead in a male-oriented drama.

Xu Xing has been bragging about being a top star and an international superstar, but why can’t he still get the resources to play the leading role in a Hollywood movie?

Smoke the King Oyster Mushroom.

Then, as Xu Xing steadily topped the B list, her international influence was further demonstrated, especially last year, when many online fans began to brag that Xu Xing and Ms. Liu were the only two stars who could go global. Xu Xing was the pride of the Chinese people, and Ms. Liu was at least the second pride.

It's just a bundle anyway.

As the release of "Mulan" draws closer, the bundling is becoming more and more tight.

The King Oyster Mushrooms are so annoying that they will yell at you to stop rubbing against them as soon as they see you.

Now she is creating rumors again after just attending a dinner party???

Chen Dulin has no fans, and it's quite boring to keep hitting the air, but online fans will really resist, and many people really feel good about themselves and think that the Disney heroine is more powerful than the male lead in the Saint Carol.

——They also paid special attention to the fact that Chen Dulin also attended the dinner tonight, but Ansheng was so low-key that there was no press release.

So the king oyster mushrooms finally had a chance to vent their anger tonight.

Then when it was time to have breakfast the next day, Dudu didn't eat it properly and had to fight with Teacher Fan for the food, or rather, cooperate with him.

Teacher Fan always cooperates very well.

Dudu was reluctant to leave.

After Chen Dulin left, Teacher Fan laughed for a long time.

"I'll train you little sister from now on!"

Xu Xing rolled his eyes at her and sent her away.

"I have other plans tonight, see you tomorrow night."

"Hello... Liu Yifei?" Teacher Fan couldn't help asking, "Her eyes were almost fixed on you last night."

"No, I will let you know what I can tell you."

"Oh, alright."

----

night.

"Don't you know how she got Mulan? In 17, she should have wanted to struggle again. Maybe she thought your Joy of Life was her last hope? In the end, you rejected her, and she got Mulan."

"She just expressed her intention to star in Joy of Life, but Zhengrong rejected it at lightning speed. It's just a drama, and Li Yitong didn't get much bonus after starring in it. She wanted to make major changes to the script at that time, and I couldn't agree to it."

"Maybe it was just a simple test contact at the time, but you became more and more famous, and she became more and more upset. Li Yitong's performance didn't work, so would she be able to do the same?"

"Even if Zhengrong agreed at that time, she would definitely want it again when Mulan came. It will be released soon, so why would she be so upset?"

"What if it fails?"

"Pfft, I believe you two are good friends."

"...Xu Xing! You——"
