The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 481: Red Flower Stuck in Cow Dung
Two more messages followed.

[It’s really great! I’m going to watch it tomorrow! [Laughs]]

[Xing Ge is so handsome in the movie! [色]]

Xu Xing watched her withdraw the latest message and send it again.

[Xing Ge is so handsome! [color]]

[The acting is great! I felt so sad watching many parts, and I am still crying because of the emotion. [crying][crying][crying]]

Only after seeing that the [Typing] on the chat box finally disappeared did Xu Xing reply.

【Thank you for liking it. [Smile]】

The other side responded instantly.

【Xing Ge, are you done? 】

[This is my favorite movie! [grin]]

Two in a row.

After a short pause, the third message arrived.

[I have been thinking today, and I have been thinking before, if Xing Ge and I were the actors in Little Red Flower, how happy I would be now. I would definitely put all my efforts into the performance. [Sad]]

After a brief pause, the fourth message came.

[Brother Xing, please don’t tell Wenqi these things… I just feel so sorry. [Sad]]

Xu Xing smiled.

Reply to the past.

[Yeah, I just finished.]

Liu Haocun: [Oh, that's good. I often want to chat with Xing Ge, but I'm afraid to disturb him. [Sad]]

Xu Xing: [I won’t bother you.]

Liu: [Then I will chat with Brother Xing every day from now on! [Touched]]

Liu: [No! Xing Ge is really busy, I can’t be willful. [Sad]]

Xu: [Not bad. I’ve been filming, but I still have time to reply to WeChat messages. [Smile]]

Liu: [Okay, okay! [Laughs]]

Liu: [I will also be filming again soon. The movie "On the Cliff" was finally finished two months ago. The next movie is also directed by Han, called "Let's Shake the Sun Together", and it is scheduled to start shooting in September.]

Xu: [Come on!]

Liu: [Hmmmm! [Struggle]]

Xu Xing knew the movie "Shaking the Sun".

I don't mean that I have seen it in my previous life, but that I heard Director Han talk about it some time ago.

When deciding to shoot Little Red Flower, Director Han had already decided on the "Life Trilogy" plan, the first of which was Go Away Tumor in 15.

The company strongly invited Xu Xing to star in "Little Red Flower", and producer Chen Xi even paid a special visit to her, because Xu Xing was able to elevate the "concept IP" of the Life Trilogy to a higher level.

Last year, just a few days after the filming of Little Red Flower was finished, a friend of Director Han told him a story and recommended it as the third part of the trilogy of life. Soon after, someone recommended him a documentary report - "The most utilitarian marriage transaction, the most emotional eternal promise", which was exactly the story his friend told him.

In other words, there are people in the circle who can’t wait to confirm the third part, launch the project as soon as possible, and start working on it as soon as possible to promote themselves.

After all, the second part has Xu Xing, so it is almost certain to be a big hit. The resource-rich are already waiting for such a good opportunity for the third part.

Director Han recognized how touching the story was.

So last year, the script for "Shaking the Sun" began to be written.

Unable to refuse the generous offer from the capital behind him, Director Han had to "reluctantly" agree hastily and started filming "Shaking the Sun" in the second half of this year.

The male and female protagonists are Liu Haocun, who regretfully missed "Little Red Flower", and Yi Yang Qianxi, who just stood out in the traffic with "Better Days".

A very typical capital organization.

Director Han complained to Xu Xing a few times that he really didn't want to start filming so soon as he felt the script still needed to be polished.

But "Little Red Flower" was completed at the end of last year. For more than half a year, everyone in the circle worked together to polish "Shaking the Sun" at the request of Director Han!
It just so happens that the situation this year makes it impossible to go out and run around.

After such a long time, you have finally polished the sun out!
So how else can you shirk responsibility?
shoot!
After chatting with Liu Haocun for a few sentences, Xu Xing was about to close her chat box.

Liu: [“I’ll give you a sunflower that we can shake together!”]

Liu: [[Sun]]

Liu: [[Laughing]]

Xu: [[laughing and crying]]

Liu: [I will treat this "Shaking the Sun" as a filming with Brother Xing! When I was filming, I thought that the face opposite me was Brother Xing's. [Laughing]]

Liu: [Try to hypnotize yourself and overcome the problem of him being too short! [Laughing]]

Xu: [Film the movie well! ]

Liu: [Yeah, yeah! Be good and listen to me! [Cute]]

That's the end of the conversation.

The evaluation is quite good.

But Xu Xing has seen a lot.

Zhou Ye, who was about to cry, and Zhao Jinmai, who had lost consciousness and only had instincts left, were equally excellent and were in Xu Xing's hands.

This is far ahead of Liu Haocun.

Classmate Zhou Ye has been eating well in the crew for a month, while classmate Zhao Jinmai was finally released from home. He came to Hai City under the pretext of participating in the Hai City International Film Festival for his film "Bad Genius", and then secretly came to Ningbo.

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, classmate Zhao acted very crazy at the beginning, which made classmate Zhou a little stunned.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength was too obvious. Student Zhao was not very tall and only had a few tricks, so he could only pitifully ask Xu Xing to control him.

In fact, when the art exam adjustment plan came out in early April, Zhao Jinmai imagined coming to Hai City to find Xu Xing in the first two weeks of July.

Due to the special circumstances this year, all art schools have switched to online preliminary examinations, but the re-examinations will be offline and will be completed two weeks after the college entrance examination.

The college entrance examination has been adjusted to July 7 or 7.

Unfortunately, Zheng Rong and her family decided to let her study at the Central Academy of Drama alone.

Student Zhao’s academic performance is excellent and he has so much performance experience, so there is no need for him to take the art exams of other schools.

If it were previous years, it would not be impossible for her to go to the theater to have some fun, but this year running around would mean risks.

Therefore, Zhao, who had taken the online preliminary test in April, could only work hard at home and prepare for the college entrance examination and the re-examination.

After the college entrance examination, I went to the Central Academy of Drama to take the re-examination immediately, but was immediately taken home and kept there for half a month before I was finally released.

It really made her feel suffocated.

When Xu Xing returned to the villa and saw her, she almost cried.

But in the end she still cried.

Student Zhao couldn't control his instincts, and naturally couldn't control his tears.

Seeing that her reaction was too intense, classmate Zhou wanted to help share the burden, but she still held Xu Xing tightly and refused to let go.

Before being sent away the next day, he looked as if he was about to be separated from his loved ones forever.

It was obvious that Xu Xing would return to Hai City in two days.

After Zhao Jinmai left, Zhou Ye expressed his envy in his real name.

"Xing Ge likes her no matter how she acts like a spoiled child. As for me, Xing Ge only likes me when I have a cold face..."

"...Ah? Don't you smile foolishly enough? Don't I like everything?"

Xu Xing rubbed her hair.

"..." Zhou Ye pretended to be indifferent and curled his lips, then instantly grinned, "Do you like it?"

"Of course I do!"

Xu Xing was firm.

He immediately kissed her to make her more convincing.

It's really stupid, and it's really cute, but it just can't increase Xu Xing's attack speed.

And classmate Zhao...is actually quite good at it.

Chen Yuqi revealed to Xu Xing that Zhao had previously pursued being mature and independent in front of Xu Xing, but the direction she was sliding in was completely the opposite. She liked to act cute more than at the beginning, but she was also much more proactive than at the beginning and was crazy about carrots.

So Xu Xing still likes it very much.

It’s really a contrast, and it’s a good evolution.

As for Yebao, the fewer expressions he has, the better!

Episode.

The box office performance of "Little Red Flower" actually exceeded Xu Xing's expectations.

Xu Xing had thought that the single-day box office could exceed 100 million yuan, but he never thought that the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie could be aroused on the first day.

The box office for the three days of the weekend even exceeded 4 million!
So much so that some black fans started to criticize cinemas from the angle that too many people gathered and did not comply with epidemic prevention requirements.

The requirement is that people cannot gather together and everyone must be one meter apart, but the stupid oyster mushrooms just like to gather together and shout loudly about how much they love their own daddy!
So, on Saturday night, when this voice first emerged, many big fans of Mantianxing began to advocate that people should not gather when watching movies.

Then on the next day, a lot of videos appeared on Douyin, showing people in the cinema lobby or the square below holding small flags such as [Revival Film Market], [Keep Distance], and [Civilized Movie Watching], wearing masks, and standing one or two meters apart from each other, shouting like they were singing folk songs.

Netizens were left in a state of confusion.

The middle-aged and elderly people who have become more and more fond of watching short videos this year were also stunned by what they saw.

The topic is full of excitement.

"Signal", which was still a hot topic online a few days ago, seems to have disappeared.

Many people who didn’t pay much attention to movies before finally found out that cinemas have resumed business!
It’s time to go to the movies!
Now showing is Xu Xing’s latest work!
By Monday, the box office had shown no sign of declining.

The revenue on Sunday was 1.51 million, and on Monday it was 1.54 million.

More audiences started going to theaters, making up for the decline in box office that was expected on weekdays, and the film market is recovering further.

However, compared to the overwhelming praise when it was first released, many voices complaining about "Little Red Flower" have also begun to emerge.

There are basically no negative reviews on the performances of Xu Xing and Wen Qi.

The comparison between how Zhou Dongyu "led" the entire crew to shave their heads in "Better Days", and how Xu Xing and Wen Qi in "Little Red Flower" took the initiative to shave their heads with full professionalism is quite ironic.

They still have short hair, but Xu Xing and Wen Qi have bald heads.

He has both professionalism and acting skills.

Wen Qi has finally continued the momentum since her debut in "The Bold, the Corrupt, and the Beautiful" and "Carnival", and has become more vital and her temperament more distinct.

The only problem is that some people think that her appearance is still not good enough.

Xu Xing made those who once questioned the film "Witness" that won the Best Actor award sincerely admire it, saying that if the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor had been won for "Little Red Flower", it would have been more convincing.

What is commendable is that Xu Xing not only played the role of a cancer patient well, but also integrated into the ordinary family background of the movie, which was very lifelike.

There are overwhelming voices on the internet saying that "Little Red Flower" deserves a Best Actor trophy.

Therefore, criticism of the film mainly focused on director Han.

The intention of the creation is very clear, which is to combine the fight against cancer and love, and to use love to dilute the shadow of cancer, but the actual effect seems a bit fragmented and disconnected.

When Wei Yihang and Ma Xiaoyuan let themselves go, they were too unlike cancer patients, so they relapsed one after another. When the plot took a sharp turn for the worse, there was a sense of absurdity that they were trying to kill themselves.

Eat and drink to your heart's content...and confess your love in the rain, can't you hold an umbrella?
If a normal person does this, those with weaker health will easily have problems. But these are two cancer patients!
I even went to see Qinghai Lake. Do you really think altitude sickness is an urban legend? ? ?

Wei Yihang!
The one who killed Ma Xiaoyuan was you who insisted on taking her to see Qinghai Lake!!!

There are also interpretations online that Wei Yihang and Ma Xiaoyuan actually died in the end...

Xu Xing felt helpless.

The behaviors of Wei Yihang and Ma Xiaoyuan in "Little Red Flower" are indeed more like those of people who have less than two days to live, and they are being tortured to death as much as possible without leaving any regrets in life as they would in hospice care.

But this is the tone of the script, and cancer is basically incurable.

The audience for this type of film is relatively average, and not many people will go to the cinema just to cry. There are many people online saying that it is as good as "Dying to Survive", which raises the expectations of fans who go to the cinema.

Fortunately, despite the criticisms, complaints and decline in expectations, the movie is still generally recognized.

After five days of release, the daily box office exceeded 100 million yuan.

On August 8, Xu Xing left the crew and returned to Haishi to participate in the long-prepared LV men's fashion show.

The LV container with a giant doll tied to it has been staying at the port for a month.

This grand event of the fashion industry has finally arrived.

After arriving at the hotel, Xu Xing first called Abloh.

Xu Xing was concerned about his condition, and he thanked Haishi for providing the environment, which made this fashion show the first big show in the global fashion industry after the epidemic.

He also jokingly thanked her, saying that Xu Xing's "Blinding Lights" is now dominating the world, allowing more people to pay attention to this show that means a lot to him.

Finally, he unexpectedly mentioned "Little Red Flower".

He heard that Xu Xing's latest movie was causing a viewing craze in China and leading to the recovery of the Chinese film market. He learned that this was a film that encouraged cancer patients and wanted to watch it very much, but he didn't know when he could watch it on Netflix.

Xu Xing encouraged and comforted him again.

Then, at the big show in the afternoon, Xu Xing, who had been invited by LV many times and finally accepted the invitation to walk the runway for the show for the first time, not only had a huge doll two people tall behind her, but also temporarily put a small red flower on her chest.

The finale appeared on the T-stage and immediately became the focus of the entire show and the entire Internet!
----

【Xingsheng is working really hard to promote the movie! 】

[LV carefully prepared for the fashion show for several months, and everyone’s clothes were designed in the same way in advance.

This was the first time that LV held a fashion show in China, and Xingsheng put a red flower on his chest to promote his "Little Red Flower"...

When I saw Xingsheng coming out, I was so embarrassed that I almost exploded.

The black and white checkered pattern and the light green dolls are such a harmonious and artistic combination, but a vulgar red flower ruins everything.

Why doesn't he pin the red flower on his hair with a hairpin?]
"I really admire the Saint of Luck. A country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin! No matter how much LV promotes him, no matter how much they market him as the King of Asian Fashion, he still cannot stand up to the standard."

——"Now he is the world's fashion tyrant. Your LV fashion show must also serve the tyrant's movies and be the cow dung for the flowers to stick in. [Hehe]"

"Xingsheng thinks that LV can't send senior executives from the headquarters this time. The Chinese region is full of losers who can only lick his ass, so they are unscrupulous."

"When I was fighting with my fans in the past, I laughed at G-Dragon for being neither male nor female, like an old hen laying eggs, but Xingsheng's unique understanding of fashion was to add a red flower..."

"Isn't the box office of Little Red Flower very good? Did Xingsheng really sign a 30 billion box office bet agreement as rumored? Is he so anxious??? [Confused]"

“Xingsheng, this isn’t a selfish promotional movie, okay!

Xingsheng's real purpose is to promote the already revived domestic film market through this big show that has attracted worldwide attention! Let the world witness the power of China!
"Lucky Saint, how could you have ever spent half of your life for yourself? Put away your dirty thoughts! [vomit]"

[The domestic fashion circle is really full of rotten fish and shrimp! ]

[The group of fashion bloggers on Weibo are desperately trying to praise Xingsheng’s unique and ingenious ideas. It’s really funny to see them.

After this incident, will luxury brands hold fashion shows in China again?

Isn't this directly destroying everyone's jobs?]
"That's right. Isn't the domestic fashion circle just a bunch of people following behind Europe and America to pick up food for their thesis defense? A bunch of energetic young men, energetic old ladies, and Shamatte boys, all gathered together to lick and eat.

Several big Vs rely on Xingsheng's subordinates to leak some resources to brag. Several head studios in the circle that do styling for artists, when they brag in the fan circle, they all say that they have many resources of luxury brands, and the artists have to borrow high-end customization from them.

In fact, they are all Lucky Saint lickers. If Lucky Saint attends a fashion dinner and smiles at them, they will be so excited that they can't close their back doors for a month. "

"Xingsheng's move is brilliant. He wants to shut out all luxury brands from the country. That way, no one will be able to challenge his fashion status in the country in the future."

"No, Xingsheng just put a flower on his chest. Why are you acting like he killed someone? [Sweating]"

——"Destroying the entire art is equivalent to killing someone. [Hehe]"

"Someone has already said that this is to encourage designer Abloh who is fighting against the disease. Abloh will probably be pissed off after seeing this. [rolling eyes]
For artists, art is more important than life, okay? Abloh, who is used to using various elements, has never used vulgar red flowers. The final image of Xingsheng is definitely an indelible psychological shadow in his mind. [Sweating]”

[Abloh posted a message thanking Xingsheng for wearing a red flower...]

[He said he was moved to tears.

He talked about the movie with Xingsheng before the big show started, and he didn't expect that Xingsheng would wear a little red flower specifically to encourage himself.

He said this was the most unforgettable scene in his life...]
"..."

"Um...let's talk downstairs."

"Xingsheng PR is very fast."

"It was indeed presumptuous of me to hit Xingsheng."

——"Objective, correct, and rational. [Like]"

"Translation: He was so angry that he cried. Before the show started, Xingsheng suddenly promoted "Little Red Flower" to him. Unexpectedly, Xingsheng wore a red flower on his body. He was so angry that his life was about to end immediately."

——"It's very reliable. [Like]"
