The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 499 I'm drunk
"Can you tone it down a bit? I have no problem with you wanting them all to have their way with you, but can you at least be mindful of the occasion? Yesterday, the emergency exit, the restroom, and the car were one thing, but today you're going to the movies with Liu Haocun? Mr. World Superstar, can you even remember that you're still a big star?"

Sun Man really has a hard time controlling her sarcastic remarks.

“Sigh,” Xu Xing sighed, “The main problem is that when they saw you weren’t around, they pounced on me, and it was really difficult for me. I know I’m a celebrity and I can’t be seen by others, but they don’t care that they’re celebrities! I—”

"It was all your doing, Xiaoyun! And you're still trying to deny it? The only person you brought in on a whim, Teacher Yuan, was someone you forcibly dragged into the room!"

Sun Man was furious.

But Xu Xing was still arguing back.

"No, if you don't believe me, come and ask Teacher Yuan yourself. Was she dragged in by force?"

My thigh was immediately pinched lightly.

However, the matter also went deeper, and an apology was received.

Teacher Tong, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but chuckle and almost burst out laughing.

She digested it quickly last night, but Yuan Quan's obviously angry and intense reaction when she discovered the third person, as well as her struggles as Xu Xingqiang forcefully pounded her until her eyes were unfocused and she muttered accusations, all indicated that she was indeed dragged over by Xu Xingqiang last night.

However, if Xu Xing's precious secretary really flew over to ask Yuan Quan, the reply she would receive would certainly not be one of forced attraction.

Teacher Tong has personally experienced Xu Xing's techniques; she is now a product of Xu Xing's transformation.

Last night, Xu Xing smoothed out all of Yuan Quan's newly grown rough edges.

When they first woke up, Yuan Quan and Teacher Tong made eye contact and it was a little awkward, but Xu Xing stretched and the two of them understood each other and began to work closely together.

Enjoying this moment alone, she feels even more tender and affectionate.

angry?

It's just the fun of entering a new phase.

Yuan Quan himself was indebted to those who fed him.

She first starred in Xu Xing's "Signal," and with the help of Zheng Rong's extensive marketing efforts, she was compared to Sun Li in the drama industry, especially in lower-tier markets like Douyin.

In fact, she only had one hit drama in the past few years, "The First Half of My Life," and the female lead in that drama was Ma Yili.

There's a huge buzz online right now about Yuan Quan winning the Best Actress award, with netizens praising her exceptional acting skills. With her role in "Signal," Zheng Rong practically secured her a spot among the top three Best Actress winners, making it almost a foregone conclusion.

She is currently filming Xu Xing's "Sheep Without a Shepherd 3".

This script was written by Teacher Tong, who helped Xu Xing write it. The female lead also has a lot of room to perform. After its release, she should at least get a Best Actress nomination.

Many people praise Yuan Quan's acting skills, but in the past few years in the TV and film industries, this Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress is the only award with any real weight.

Now that she's hooked up with Xu Xing, she'll have everything.

Xu Xing is such a high-quality man. Yuan Quan isn't particularly beautiful, but it's probably her intellectual and aloof temperament that appeals to Xu Xing.

This was practically a windfall for Yuan Quan, and she knew it all too well, which is why she obediently opened her mouth and accepted everything Xu Xing gave her.

Xu Xing and Sun Man argued for almost ten minutes before Sun Man angrily hung up the phone, saying she would fly to Xia City immediately.

Strategic objectives have been successfully achieved!

Xu Xing felt even more comfortable.

After quickly finishing the task, without lingering any longer, he simply patted his behind and told them to get up and leave.

When she left, Teacher Tong was quite resentful.

"There is ample time".

Xu Xing gave him a farewell kiss.

Then, he pinched the chin of Ms. Yuan, who was standing next to him, dressed neatly with a serious expression, seemingly oblivious to the two of them, and gave her a kiss as she suddenly became ashamed and indignant.

"Teacher Yuan too."

We need to encourage Ms. Yuan. She's about to return to the set of "Sheep Without a Shepherd 3," where she plays many roles that other women really can't portray well. We can only hope that Ms. Yuan will keep up the good work.

After the two left, Xu Xingcai took out his phone and sent a message to Liu Haocun on WeChat.

[I can't watch movies anymore; the company has strictly forbidden it. Maybe another time.]

Liu Haocun replied quickly.

[Crying][Crying][Crying] I've been looking forward to this all night...

Xu: [Once you're a celebrity, you can't be as willful.]

Liu: [That's why it's so exciting... [sad]]

Xu: [You've just debuted. If something unexpected happens, your career will be ruined.]

Liu: [[Sad][Pitiful][Crying]]

Liu: [Brother Xing cares about me so much! I'm so happy!]

Liu: [Actually, I didn't think it was a good idea at first, but I was so angry that I asked Xing-ge to go to the movies with me. [Sad]]

Xu: [Why are you angry?]

Liu: [Ouyang Nana's WeChat Moments. [Sad]]

Xu Xing doesn't usually check his WeChat Moments, but Liu Haocun immediately sent him a screenshot.

[The most unforgettable feeling is the unseen and indescribable suffocation...].jpg
It's nothing surprising.

Ouyang often posts her thoughts on being slept with on Weibo, using ambiguous language as if she were talking about a young girl's feelings or occasional reflections on life.

But why is Liu so angry?

May:【?】

Liu: [Sad]

May:【?】

Liu: [Sad]

Xu Xing didn't want to talk to her anymore.

Just now, Sun Man's assistant, Xiaoyun, sent Xu Xing Sun Man's flight information.

Sun Man arrived at 2 PM.

For the rest of his time, Xu Xing was a pure, self-disciplined, and unpretentious handsome young man.

Change to a new presidential suite.

Shower and change clothes.

Open the curtains.

Play Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor.

Turn on the laptop.

Create a new Word document.

Let's check the time again: 9:07 AM.

It was a time of plenty of sunshine.

Oh dear, Liu Haocun sent another WeChat message.

I want to see Xing-ge. [Pity]

[We don't need to go to the cinema, staying at the hotel is fine too. Brother Xing must not be busy right now! [Pity]]

[Brother Xing! [Poor][Poor][Poor]]

Xu Xing hesitated for a moment before deciding whether to lie.

Because Xu Xing is indeed not busy.

In the end, I chose honesty.

[Isn't your film crew supposed to head out immediately to promote the movie?]

Liu Haocun replied immediately.

We didn't leave until 4 PM, and I was really bored in the hotel. [Sad]

This is it.

Xu Xing then sent it over.

【All right. 】

Liu Haocun arrived very quickly.

Wearing a baseball cap, head down, and hunched over, he sneaked in through the door with a strong sense of stealth.

A white sleeveless T-shirt and a brown mini tutu skirt showed off her slender arms and legs. Although she wasn't particularly tall, her proportions were great, making her legs appear very long.

Upon entering, Liu Haocun immediately took off his baseball cap, turned around, looked at Xu Xing with his big eyes, and patted his chest slightly, panting, looking like he was still in shock.

"I almost got seen by someone."

"It should be my assistant," Xu Xing laughed. "I'm also very bored here. I was planning to take a nap later."

"..."

Liu Haocun's cheeks flushed slightly, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.

"Didn't you sleep well last night, Xing-ge?"

"It's alright. I mainly have to fly to Hong Kong this afternoon, and I have a lot of things to do tonight, so I'll rest for a while first. When you're a busy celebrity, it's hard to have regular sleep."

Xu Xing led her inside as he spoke.

"We're going to the port city!"

Liu Haocun was amazed.

She still harbored the mindset of a young girl who saw Hong Kong in a radiant light. She sat on the sofa, unconsciously swinging her slender legs slightly, and then thought for a moment.

"About 'Childhood Games'?"

"Well, it'll be some pre-launch promotional preparations and the upcoming collaboration with Netflix. I'm just going to make an appearance. Want something to drink?"

Xu Xing asked.

"Can I drink red wine?"

Liu Haocun smiled slyly and even bit his lip with his little tiger teeth.

Xu Xing nodded, took out his phone, and prepared to ask Xiaoyun to buy a bottle of red wine and bring it over.

"Drinking is still bad."

She swung her slender legs and asked again.

Xu Xing smiled.

"How old are you again? If you're not 18 yet, that's not good."

"...That's good."

Liu Haocun gave an awkward laugh and immediately changed the subject.

"Brother Xing, I was so nervous when I sang on stage yesterday. I really admire you singers—Brother Xing is not just a singer, he's just incredibly talented. But I started liking Brother Xing when he sang 'One Meat, One Vegetable' on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time."

“I went to school in Beijing when I was little. When I heard that song, I thought of home and I was really touched. The song was so beautiful and moving, and the older brother who sang it was incredibly handsome! From that day on, I became a fan of Brother Xing. I remember it was the first time Brother Xing performed live, and he sang so perfectly. Yesterday, when I was on stage, I was thinking about Brother Xing, which made me more and more relaxed and I was able to finish the song.”

She described lip-syncing as if it were some major challenge.

Xu Xing will praise him again.

"I did well yesterday. Actually, I didn't expect that my performance on stage would be the best I've ever done."

They chatted for a few more minutes.

After the red wine was delivered, Xu Xing opened it, poured the wine, and then clinked glasses with the wine.

After finishing his small glass of wine, he stood up from the sofa.

"You drink it yourself."

"..."

Liu Haocun's eyes suddenly widened even more.

Such a big bottle...

"Don't drink too much," Xu Xing cautioned. "My assistant just told me that the film crew I'm going to do a cameo role in soon sent me the latest script. I need to take another look at it because it's just a cameo. I'll be joining a movie crew soon after, and I don't want to have too many scenes and take up too much time. The crew of 'Sheep Without a Shepherd 3' also has some script details they want to discuss with me."

"Also, my music producer decided to fly in from the US ahead of schedule so I can talk to him about the new album. We haven't even officially started working on the whole album yet, and for the next six months or so, I won't have a single free moment. If you're bored after you finish your red wine, you can go home now. Actually, I've already seen 'One Second,' and the acting in the movie was excellent. Keep up the good work!"

"..." Liu Haocun stared blankly, his mouth agape. "Is Brother Xing always this busy?"

"Sometimes you just suddenly have a bunch of work. But these things aren't like filming, recording songs, or other meetings you can't miss. If I wanted to be lazy, I could just turn them all down, but I don't want to be lazy. Actually, when you feel bored, you can learn something to improve yourself and pass the time. You can't become the best actor just by talent."

Xu Xing stretched with a smile.

Liu Haocun also stared blankly and tilted his head back even higher.

She felt that Xu Xing was really tall, and Xu Xing's attitude and effort at work were as tall as his body, making her... feel ashamed.

She felt that Xing Ge's last words were a criticism of herself...

The little, thin legs that had been swaying incessantly finally stopped.

Actually, Liu Haocun originally felt that Xu Xing was very special to her, and he felt that even more when Xu Xing hadn't finished speaking.

Rumors circulate in the industry that Xu Xing rarely replies to WeChat messages from women who are not his girlfriends. He hasn't chatted with her much either, but he's not aloof or unapproachable towards her. In fact, after learning how busy Xu Xing is, Liu Haocun suddenly realized that he has actually chatted with her quite a bit.

Xu Xing had been encouraging and caring for her on WeChat... Thinking back on those rumors, Liu Haocun wondered if they were all a little ambiguous.
However, it seems that Xu Xing herself is exceptionally perfect, and her attitude towards everyone is caring and encouraging; she is just an ordinary member.

When Xu Xing's fans boycotted her and didn't want her to act in "Little Red Flower," Xu Xing seemed to acquiesce and didn't offer her any special support.

Yesterday, Xu Xing came to Xia City, but kept saying he was busy and didn't want to see her. Now that she's come specifically to see him, Xu Xing hasn't even temporarily put aside any work he could for her. He even said that these jobs were things he could have turned down…

So someone as outstanding and hardworking as Xu Xing must really dislike people who have boring moments. When he said "improve yourself," he meant she's still far from perfect. Xu Xing even specifically asked her about her age several times, a question she'd avoided…

Xu Xing had already walked away after giving him a gentle, encouraging smile. Liu Haocun sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the red wine in the bottle.

When Liu Haocun received Xu Xing's WeChat message agreeing to let her come over, she was so excited that she rolled around on the bed, having specially changed into the pretty dress she had thought about many times before deciding what to wear to see Xu Xing.

Before entering, Liu Haocun was incredibly nervous, thinking about many things. Would they be able to talk about anything and get along perfectly? Would they become true friends? Would Xu Xing suddenly confess her feelings? He even wondered if Xu Xing would suddenly pin him down as soon as he walked in…

After all, Liu Haocun felt that her short skirt must be quite alluring, especially since they were alone together, and she had heard that Xu Xing was always happy without women...

There are also some subtle hints when choosing red wine.

But in the end it was... "You drink it yourself."

When Liu Haocun saw Ouyang Nana yesterday, he confirmed once again that she was not as good-looking as him.

But Zhou Ye, whom I've secretly watched many times, seems to be prettier than me.

That Tong Liya, whose identity is supposedly unclear, is also exceptionally beautiful.

It seems that Xu Xing has never been attracted to the innocent type.

Besides Chen Dulin, it seems that Xu Xingcai started to like Chen Dulin again after she started to do a few glamorous Hong Kong style looks.

To Xu Xing, she seemed to be just an ordinary little girl.

"Zhang Yimou's Girls"? They're nothing to him. He just likes to promote pretty girls with no acting skills, good figures, and preferably older ones...

The sunlight shining on the glass reflected a very bright light.

The coffee table was so bright it looked like a mirror. Liu Haocun noticed that his face in the mirror was particularly red, as if... he was drunk.

"I'm drunk~"

Suddenly, a murmured voice came from behind her, and she was hugged from behind. At that moment, Xu Xing was video chatting with John, discussing the album's production arrangements.

The new album will include a duet single called "Save Your Tears." After listening to the demo, John surprisingly recommended Ariana Grande.

"This song is perfect for her, unless you want to collaborate with some unknown singer. Ariana isn't Scooter's puppet, and she's not like Bieber, who has a history of personally liking and attacking you. Taylor and Ariana aren't enemies, and you and she are even less of an enemy."

“Old Town Road has proven to be a greater single than 7 Rings. Ariana was only unhappy for two or three weeks at most. Now that we’ve extended a collaboration invitation, it means we’re sincere in trying to ease the tension. It also gives Scooter a headache to decide whether or not to accept the invitation.”

John was speaking very seriously; he wasn't joking.

Fortunately, Liu Haocun's voice was very soft, and she was speaking Chinese. It seemed like she had sneaked over by bending down.

Otherwise, even if Xu Xing is used to raising the video camera relatively high, there is still a shot of her upper body, but she does not appear in the frame.

Her little face, pressed against her back, was a little hot, as if she really was drunk.

To prevent her from suddenly babbling incoherently, Xu Xing had to slowly pull her from behind to the front, let her lie on his lap, and then cover her face with his hands, ready to cover her mouth at any time.

Her face is even smaller than Ouyang's.

Xu Xing continued John's words.

“What’s so troublesome about Scooter? Ariana certainly wouldn’t want to work with me.”

John smiled.

"Ariana and Scooter's relationship is just so-so right now. She was unhappy because Scooter valued BTS too much before, and Scooter had just urged her to release a new album, but the results were not as expected. So now it is possible that Ariana will insist on collaborating with you despite Scooter's dissuasion. Of course, most importantly, I talked to Ariana not long ago, and when I mentioned you, her reaction was very calm, and she even congratulated me on having a successful person."

"She wasn't referring to Billie?"

Xu Xing complains.

“Of course not,” John said, somewhat speechless. “She also affirmed your musical talent.”

"When you compliment me, she makes 'uh-uh-uh' sounds?"

Xu Xing made another rant.

However, he nodded.

"Okay, John, you give it a try first."

End the video call immediately.

Because my lower body was constantly restless, and even my palms were being licked repeatedly.

“Leave it to me, Xing. Your team can start preparing the manuscripts that will make Ariana your friend, but Scooter will remain your enemy.”

John said with great confidence.

The call is hung up.

Xu Xing immediately turned Liu Haocun over; his flushed face did indeed look dizzy.

Upon meeting Xu Xing's gaze, she subconsciously closed her eyes, but quickly opened them again, staring blankly at Xu Xing with her mouth slightly open and seemingly unconsciously sticking out her little tongue.

The next second, Xu Xing abandoned the idea of ​​waiting for her to sober up, picked up her light body, let her sit in his lap, and kissed her.

Half a minute later, everything became agitated, as if struck by lightning, frozen for a moment, and then crumbled away.

Her skirt is indeed very pretty, and Xu Xing also likes mini skirts.

Slim legs look great when they swing.

It looks even better when it takes off.

Xu Xing, who had been marveling at how the bright sunlight in the room inspired her to strive forward, suddenly stopped in her tracks as she flew to the sofa in the outer room.

Because that bottle of red wine still has a lot of it left.

It wasn't even noticeable how much less there was than when Xu Xing poured the wine and left.

Is her alcohol tolerance really that low?
