The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 5 I Want to Tear Up the Fan
"It's about who is the leading actor, whose name comes first when promoting the movie, and who mainly brings in the box office."

Xu Xing opened his mouth and gave a brief explanation.

Yu Murong also put down his phone and looked over.

She pushed her gold-rimmed glasses down and nodded seriously.

"This kind of youth film is mainly based on boys, right? The theme song was written by you, Xiao Xing. That girl is from the island province, and the box office after the movie is released will still mainly rely on the mainland. Xiao Xing, you will definitely be the number one."

Liu Cheng just happened to come over after finishing his phone call, and Yu Murong looked up and spoke directly to him.

"This movie should be Xiao Xing's first role. Liu Cheng, please pay attention to this when you communicate with them."

Liu Cheng glanced at Xu Xing and scratched his head.

"Well, I'll try."

The drama of tearing apart the roles when "Painted Skin 2" was released two years ago kicked off an era of tearing apart roles in the Chinese entertainment industry. Liu Cheng is well aware of such matters.

In fact, Yu Murong didn't need to tell him that he had the idea of fighting for the role for Xu Xing.

Xu Xing is the first artist he managed as his agent. This is Xu Xing's debut film, and winning the first place not only has a strong symbolic meaning, but also has crucial practical significance.

In the current film and television market, regardless of whether the box office of "My Girlhood" is a big hit after its release, there will be a gap in the subsequent resources that the leading male and the second leading male will have access to, which will also affect the right to speak in the next play.

Also two years ago, Zhao Zhen had a big fight over bringing screenwriters into the crew to modify the scenes. Since then, bringing screenwriters into the crew has become more and more popular in the industry.

The current state of the industry is such that if an agent doesn’t take responsibility, he or she would be irresponsible to the artist.

But Liu Cheng originally only had the idea in his mind. Objectively speaking, it was extremely difficult to tear it successfully for Xu Xing.

Because the heroine of this movie, Song Yunhua, not only has a strong background, but also has box office success.

Song Yunhua is an artist from Xingrui Entertainment in Taiwan Province, which is the same company that Ke Zhendong worked for who just lost his job in the mainland. The boss is the first-generation "godmother of idol dramas" Chai Zhiping.

——The director of “My Girlhood”, Chen Yushan, is the godmother of the second-generation idol dramas.

This is a real local boss, and how much support Galaxy Entertainment Music can give to Xu Xing is still unknown to Liu Cheng, who started working in a hurry.

More importantly, Song Yunhua's first film, "Waiting for Someone to Have Coffee", was released in island provinces, Hong Kong cities and Southeast Asia two months ago, and now the box office has reached nearly 9000 million.

In two days, this movie will be released in mainland China, and its performance after its release in mainland China is extremely important.

The only reason Liu Cheng can compete for the leading role is that this controversial movie will flop at the mainland box office, so that he will have a chance to get Xu Xing the leading role during the mainland promotion.

In addition, can Yu Murong provide further support?

After Yu Murong quickly brought in Wanta, the new issues that arose in the project "My Girlhood" had not yet been resolved in a short period of time.

Will Wanda’s entry method be to participate in investment, or just assist in distribution; will the project continue to be shot as an island and provincial film, or will it be changed to a co-production, etc.

——Previously, Huace was just an investor, and the project team was all from the island province. It was not a co-production.

There is no conclusion yet.

Therefore, it is too early to talk about the competition now.

Liu Cheng's original plan was to wait until he arrived in the island province, talk with Xu Xing's agency, Galaxy Entertainment Music, in the island province, and then consider whether to take action.

In fact, when Liu Cheng talked with Yu Murong before, he felt that she had a very stereotyped understanding of the entertainment industry, that is, she was very floating and out of touch with reality.

In the entertainment industry, laws are only procedural safeguards; what really supports its operation are the unique rules of the circle.

Therefore, Liu Cheng was quite surprised when Yu Murong suddenly proposed to compete for the role.

However, Liu Cheng quickly realized that it must be Xu Xing who told her.

Xu Xing, who is not even 20 years old, terminated his contract with SM Entertainment on his own initiative and returned to China two months ago. He first jumped around and then waited for a good price. It turns out that Xu Xing is not an easy person to deal with.

"If you can make it clear, it would be best to include this in the contract when you sign it."

Xu Xing added.

Yu Murong was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Xiao Xing is right! She has thought it through more thoroughly than I, a lawyer."

"Yeah. I know."

Liu Cheng felt a little amused and helpless.

Now the industry has indeed begun to do so.

The chaos of tearing up the roles is either caused by the promises made by both sides when the project was being written, or one side suddenly becomes angry and wants to turn against the Tian Gang, so the two sides are evenly matched in the tearing up.

But where there is a contract there is justice.

However, when Liu Cheng was chatting with his friends some time ago, he also heard that it is really not possible to sign contracts for both the male and female protagonists when starting a project.

There is so much money pouring into the industry now, so we have to start a project. Why not just leave the money unpaid? Are you obsessed with small details in the entertainment industry? There are always more solutions than difficulties. Just tear it apart when it goes online, and it can also increase popularity and traffic!

Therefore, what Xu Xing said is actually not very meaningful. The key is to strive for success first.

Seeing Liu Cheng nod, Xu Xing stood up.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Yesterday it was suddenly confirmed that he had got the male lead, and today he suddenly got an agent and went to meet the director right away. In such a short period of time, Xu Xing didn't even have time to make any efforts to fight for the role.

I called and the other end picked up the phone quickly.

"Director Park, where are you now?"

Xu Xing asked.

"In South Korea, what made you think of calling me?"

Park Seo-chang's voice sounded cheerful.

A small talk.

"Which company was that you were talking about yesterday?"

"Why are you asking this again?"

"I'm just trying to prove to others how popular my script is. I'm just bragging."

"Okay. It's NEWS Films from South Korea. But I just mentioned it casually when I was chatting with an alumnus. It's nothing to write home about."

"What a coincidence."

"how?"

"It's okay. Let's have dinner together when you're free, Director Park."

"Row."

Go back after making the call.

Xu Xing sat down next to Liu Cheng.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Cheng. Why did you guys, Wanma Pentium, schedule the release dates of The Crossing and Back in Time so close together? Just three days apart, so they can compete against each other."

"You're still concerned about this," Liu Cheng smiled, "Now they don't have the final say on anything anymore."

"Like this," Xu Xing said with some regret, "I was originally thinking of asking Brother Cheng to help me make some contacts and release a movie promotion song to attract some attention."

"...You want to release a song first?"

Liu Cheng seemed to be thinking about something.

"Well, I'm a complete newcomer now, and I want to fight for a ranking in an upright manner, to prove to them that my popularity is not bad."

Xu Xing's words sound very high-sounding.

But in fact, in the face of the box office performance of "Waiting for Someone to Have Coffee", without Yu Murong to coordinate Wan Da and Hua Ce to work together again, it would be basically impossible to successfully grab the role.

Now all Xu Xing has to do is provide an explanation for the final success of the fight.

“It’s easy to make a promotional song.”

Liu Cheng said.

If he couldn't even arrange this, he wouldn't have the face to be Xu Xing's agent.

“But the singer Wang Fei has already been confirmed to sing “Fleeting Time”, and the style of “The Crossing”…”

"I will definitely sing the promotional song for Fleet of Time! I wrote it myself. Being compared with the queen of pop will just help me to gain popularity."

Qiu Likuan happens to be Wang Fei's agent. It shouldn't be too difficult to ask her to ask Wang Fei to recommend her on Weibo.

Liu Cheng could naturally think of this.

"You are so confident in your song. I heard that Faye Wong's song of the movie's title song this time is even better than the previous song "So Young"."

Come to think of it, he hadn't heard the song "Little Lucky" that Yu Murong said was the one that director Chen Yushan could not forget.

Maybe Xu Xing is indeed talented.

“You have to be confident.”

Xu Xing sighed.

Yu Murong, who had been "concentrating" on his work, looked over with concern again.
