The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 511 An Idol Who Fulfills Fans' Wishes to the Greatest Extent

in the room.

The lights were bright, and soothing piano music flowed through the room.

Xu Xing's rhythm was also unusually relaxed.

"What do I regret? I was certain that 'Childhood Games' would be a hit. That's why I didn't use any other more famous Hong Kong stars as the main actors. I only used those who could entrust their contracts to Zheng Rong. If this drama isn't bloody enough, it won't be a hit. If it's too bloody, it won't be shown in China. I'm not a newcomer, so there's no need for me to act in it."

"Didn't they say that Zhengrong was urgently editing and submitting it for review?"

Teacher Yang blinked with curiosity.

"Yes, but this is just a drama starring Wu Zhenyu that was urgently edited and then aired, not a drama starring Xu Xing. These are two different things."

Xu Xing spoke very patiently.

"Given your current influence, it's definitely better to be cautious. Sigh, the longer it goes on, the more impressive you become. You're so young, yet so mature, and not at all arrogant."

Teacher Yang looked on with admiration.

"As expected of my master who has completely conquered me~"

Xu Xingdu was amused.

Teacher Yang chuckled smugly, her light gauze billowing in the breeze.

"Hey baby, you know what? I'm so grateful I acted so decisively back then and latched onto your coattails so early on~"

"Alright, how many times have I told you? Can she even hear me?"

"...No, of course not. You've put it on so many other people, don't you know how effective it is? Oh, baby, I really admire your ability to multitask!"

"This has absolutely no strength."

Xu Xing smiled and said that the pace was still slow.

However, the small plane in the air was shaking violently as if it were about to disintegrate.

Should we let her hear something?

"I was just asking, there's no need for her to overhear our conversation."

"Hehe~ I'm so happy~ You have no idea how much Wen Yongshan's status has risen in the last two days, she's so envious. The fact that you were willing to come today is already a great favor."

"She wants to act too? Didn't she say she only wanted my body?"

Xu Xing was willing to come here to reward Ms. Yang Ying's purest desire.

"Who in the entertainment industry doesn't want to act? I want to act too. But, I can just take your body and not act is fine. Baby doesn't actually have to act. She's a complicated person, but she's absolutely sincere towards you. You're like a god to her. You can do whatever you want to her. I still need to adapt, but she's very willing to do it all."

Teacher Yang's tone was still somewhat emotional.

"To be honest, if I were in her shoes, I definitely wouldn't be willing to do it. I only gave in after I was sure you weren't heartless. You don't know, she's quite funny. Before you came, she told me that she felt you were still punishing her, which is why you deliberately made Wen Yongshan stand up and slap her in the face."

"It's actually kind of funny."

Xu Xinghao laughed.

The small plane had already broken down in stages, but Xu Xingping's calm pace remained unchanged.

The collapse was therefore exceptionally prolonged.

"You're being a bit presumptuous, aren't you? I already told her that what you need most right now is someone like her. You like people with a clean image and a respectable demeanor, right?"

Teacher Yang's eyes lit up again.

“There’s no need for any of that,” Xu Xing shook her head. “It’s just something to relieve boredom when you’re bored.”

Teacher Yang's eyes sparkled.

Help Xu Xing turn the small plane around, watch him regain his rhythm, and continue speaking.

"However, there is still room for development, and it can keep you entertained for a longer period of time."

"And most importantly, they're beautiful."

Teacher Yang added.

"if not?"

Xu Xing was somewhat speechless.

Teacher Yang chuckled awkwardly.

"Well, well, when you have time, please acknowledge Baby's beauty a few more times. These last few years are the most beautiful for her, right?"

"Why are you always siding with outsiders? You want to make Dilraba sad again," Xu Xing complained. "Besides, you can't see her face like this."

"Um, show your face? Actually, I think it would look better to put on an eye mask and then a veil. Don't you like veils?"

Teacher Yang made a positive suggestion.

Xu Xing stretched.

"We'll see. I didn't know you'd become so selfless. I'm leaving soon."

"...Baba doesn't stay overnight?"

Teacher Yang was both surprised and anxious, and while saying this, she bent down to grab it.

1 month 3 day.

Xu Xing woke up holding Zhao and Zhou.

The huge success of "Bad Genius" made it difficult for Xu Xing to find time to praise them.

Time flies.

Compared to when the movie was first filmed, the two students have made a lot of progress, and their collaboration this time is even more vibrant and full of life.

Even though it is the coldest time of winter now.

Although the movie "Bad Genius" has a male lead, there is no clear romantic storyline between the male and female leads. The female lead has feelings for the male lead, but she expresses them very subtly and never makes them explicit in the end.

Although the second female lead has a boyfriend, there are no scenes of the two showing affection. It's just a very cliché campus couple: a naive and sweet school beauty who is academically challenged and a rich and delinquent second-generation rich kid.

On the contrary, the female lead and the second female lead have a lot of interactions that make fans of the pairing exclaim how great it is.

The director also put in a lot of effort. The scenes of recognizing a mentor in the library, the female lead agreeing to help cheat, the second female lead looking at the female lead with extreme admiration countless times, the second female lead always defending the female lead whenever the female lead and her boyfriend have a conflict, and the second female lead crying with extreme guilt after the incident... all these scenes were filmed with great care.

The camerawork is full of suggestive meaning, and the most upvoted short review on Douban is: "Help! Lynn and Grace did it a million times in the director's lens!"

The second most popular comment was: "Why does it feel even better than 'Soulmate'???"

During the promotional period for "Bad Genius," the two classmates also played up their best friend relationship countless times, and now they are the most popular CP online.

Multiple groups on Douban regularly post questions about whether Zhao Jinmai and Zhou Ye are really dating.

There were also "haters" who started posts denouncing Zhou Ye for being fickle and abandoning his ex-girlfriend Tian Xiwei, providing unusually "detailed" evidence.

Previously, the two relatively unknown newcomers, Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei, frequently interacted both online and offline. However, since the release of "Sheep Without a Shepherd" and "Better Days," and Zhou Ye's popularity soared, their interactions have become less frequent, and Tian Xiwei's Weibo posts have also become less cheerful.

The thrilling cheating battles and the innocent, beautiful moments between girls have contributed to the soaring reputation of "Bad Genius" since its release.

However, the appeal of these "newcomers" is still somewhat lacking, and current predictions from various platforms for the final box office are between 16 and 17 billion yuan.

Many people online expressed their regret, feeling that the movie's release date was too bad; if it had been released during the summer, it would have easily grossed 20 billion yuan.

For the four lead actors, this was already a work that greatly boosted their reputation within the industry.

Nearly two years after the broadcast of "Someday or One Day", Liu Haoran, whose career had not been going well, finally had a representative work again.

The female and male leads in "Bad Genius" are both good students who fall into depravity and cheat. Such roles offer a lot of room for development, and Liu Haoran and Zhao Jinmai both performed exceptionally well.

Liu Haoran's fans directly declared that the male lead, Yu Ban, is the role he played in his life.

Industry insiders now believe that Yi Yangqianxi, Liu Haoran, and Peng Yuchang are the most promising young male actors.

—Xu Xing's theory of nature.

Yesterday, Liu Haoran sent Xu Xing a WeChat message, expressing his deep gratitude and telling Xu Xing that because of his work "Bad Genius," he finally got the role in Director Han's "The Four Seas."

Liu Haocun had just told Xu Xing that her team was still in contact with him, but Liu Haoran had already secured the job.

For Sheng Ke, who relies purely on popularity, "Bad Genius" helped him solidify his previously precarious position within the increasingly competitive Zheng Rong Group.

Last month, the highly anticipated drama "Legend of Fei" premiered.

Ms. Zhao, the "national flower" born in 85, is making her comeback with her first drama after marriage. She is paired with Sheng Ke, the second prince of the Zheng Rong family (who played the retired emperor Xu Xing, the eldest prince Hou Minghao, and the illegitimate prince Li Jiulin). If Sheng Ke hadn't been sidelined for half a year after his debut, interrupting his golden period of development, pairing with Ms. Zhao would have been quite good.

Everyone knows that Sheng Ke has "climbed the social ladder".

When "Legend of Fei" premiered and was met with a barrage of criticism, Ms. Zhao also received the most criticism.

However, Sheng Ke is still to blame.

It takes two to tango. "The Story of Minglan" was fine, so why did "Legend of Fei" become such a flop?
Only Turtle Shell (鳖壳家) shamelessly tries to piggyback on top celebrities' positions on the entire internet, constantly claiming to be top celebrities. But when they actually released a work, they dragged down even Zhao Liying, who is known for her strong acting skills.

However, Sheng Ke's fans disagree, arguing that Sheng Ke is not responsible for the poor reputation of "Legend of Fei".

iKe not only shared various screenshots emphasizing that Sheng Ke's performance in the drama was better than that of Zhao Liying, but also brought back memories for the fans of the time when "Legend of Fei" and "The Golden Hairpin" were airing at the same time, and everyone enjoyed the transfer between them the most.

The initial version of the story was that Wang Yibo and Hou Minghao would be paired with Zhao Liying and Yang Zi respectively. In the middle of the story, Hou Minghao was granted the title of Crown Princess by the Emperor Emeritus and was confined to his quarters. The resources that Hou Minghao was negotiating were shared by Sheng Ke and Li Jiulin, and Sheng Ke then took over as a substitute. The four of them started to be randomly paired up by various gossip enthusiasts. In the end, Wang Yibo won the lead role over Yang Zi, while Sheng Ke took the initiative to become the second lead for Zhao Liying.

iKe emphasized that Sheng Ke taking on "Legend of Fei" was a scapegoat, not Sheng Ke's fault. Even Zhao Liying's first drama after giving birth couldn't find an actress to play the role. They're touting her as the most charismatic actress, but Wang Yibo wouldn't even give up his billing. Only iKe is foolish enough to be willing to partner with a female artist whose career was ruined by marriage and childbirth at her peak, driving away all her fans and causing her public image to collapse.

iKe's shamelessness has driven Ying's fans to the brink of madness.

The two sides engaged in a fierce online battle. iKe was already weak, and was completely outmatched by Ying's fans, whose fighting spirit was no less than that of the fans of the original idol.

After the onlookers warned against affecting the box office of "Bad Genius," iKe, terrified, was ready to hand over a prepared letter of surrender to avoid being double-teamed by the fans of Xingbaogu and Ying.

"Bad Genius" was released and received rave reviews and box office success.

Fans of other actresses born in 85, led by Ma Feng, instantly intensified their attack on Ying's fans and even tried to defend Sheng Ke on behalf of iKe. Everyone worked together to try to pin the blame for the disastrous state of "Legend of Fei" on Ms. Zhao.

Yesterday, Ms. Zhao was extremely anxious, shuttling between Liaoning Province and Beijing to see Xu Xing. Her first drama after her comeback, "Legend of Fei," had received terrible reviews, and things were looking bad. Therefore, Xu Xing didn't doubt that Ms. Zhao's claim of not being ready was just an excuse. Given Ms. Zhao's level of effort, she had definitely made the decision to compete against Teacher Yang; she simply wasn't mentally prepared yet.

"Bad Genius" helped Sheng Ke recover a lot of losses.

However, his acting skills are indeed quite good, and he performed rather well.

Comparatively speaking, Zhou Ye received the least benefit.

In Zhou Ye's previous two works, the eldest daughter in "Sheep Without a Shepherd" is innocent and timid, and Wei Lai in "Better Days" is hypocritical and vicious.

"Bad Genius" allowed her to portray a different image from the other two films, showing a youthful, cute, and most normal high school student.

Viewers believe Zhou Ye has greater potential and are more optimistic about her future, but they also feel that she should play a leading role to prove herself.

The one who reaped the most benefits was naturally Zhao Jinmai.

It's no surprise that "Bad Genius" will surpass "Better Days" at the box office. At that time, Zhao will surpass Zhou Dongyu and achieve the second highest box office record for a leading actress in China!
The first one is Bai Baihe's "Monster Hunt" in 15.

Although Jia Ling will push Zhao Jinmai to third place once the spring season begins, at this point, movie fans are not very confident that "Hi, Mom" will surpass "Bad Genius" at the box office.

In addition, Bai Baihe's career collapsed in 17, so Zhao Jinmai was hyped up.

The rankings of the 00s generation of actresses have been reshuffled once again, and the fandoms of these young actresses are engaged in heated discussions.

Back in 18, Zhao Jinmai was still playing a maid for Zhang Zifeng in "Take My Brother Away," her second time doing so after "A Little Reunion." Now, she has far surpassed her predecessor. A post has even coined the term "Four Emperors of the Post-00 Generation."

Zhao Jinmai, the box office queen, has achieved remarkable results: 15 billion+ RMB in "Bad Genius" (lead role) and 60 billion RMB in "The Wandering Earth" (third role). These are exceptionally impressive achievements among all actors in the entertainment industry!

With no weaknesses, Wen Qi is a Golden Horse Award winner and Best Actress nominee. She also starred in "Little Red Flower" which grossed 24 billion yuan. She has achieved both box office and award success, and her potential is simply unimaginable!

Zhang Zifeng, the diligent queen, debuted at a young age and has acted in countless works. She has made progress step by step, honing her acting skills little by little. Her acting skills are getting better and better, and she will eventually become a great person!
Empress Ziwei Liu Haocun, don't say she's a newcomer with a disability. Look at her spirituality in "One Second". She was destined to ascend the throne as the Purple Star descended to earth!

The Sanlitun sisters? They're still waiting for Yingzi to open the door!

The post was sent by Liu Haocun to Xu Xing, whose comment was: "I'm so happy to be compared to these sisters! [Excited]"

The top-rated comment below is: "Xu, the Queen-Maker, is Lucky".

The second like was: "The 'disabled' film really hit the jackpot. 'One Second' only grossed 1 million at the box office. It's ridiculous."

Then came—"Xing Sheng, please take Zi Feng with you too! [crying]"

Then there's this: "Let the worst-acting cheating queen leave Yukihiro first and prove herself. [Heh]"

That's it.

Although Zhao Jinmai is now being lauded to the skies, she has also attracted a huge number of haters.

Haters have fabricated countless rumors about her and Xu Xing to mock her for relying entirely on Xu Xing, claiming that Xu Xing helped her secure third billing in "The Wandering Earth" and even elevated her to first billing in "Bad Genius".

Therefore, Zhao Jinmai was extremely happy when they met this time, but she also broke down like never before.

Xu Xing could see the self-doubt in her eyes and took the time to offer a few words of comfort. But Zhao, who had snapped out of her daze, replied, "But what they said is true!"

When Xu Xing tried to comfort him again, Zhao burst out laughing.

"I'm not unhappy, I'm proud! I can only rely on Brother Xing, and I'm proud to rely on Brother Xing. I want to rely on Brother Xing for the rest of my life, and they'll be so envious!"

At the beginning, the little hamster went completely crazy.

Zhou Ye was startled.

Right now... Zhou is still fast asleep, and the little hamster woke up and immediately started nudging down on him.

Xu Xing didn't have much to say.

The entertainment industry really tests your mental resilience. It doesn't test those who are obscure; the more famous you are, the more you are tested. Xu Xing doesn't feel that the changes in Little Hamster are bad.

Overall, even without the drama "Childhood Games," the entertainment industry was still quite lively at the end of the year and the beginning of the new year.

First, "Legend of Fei" received terrible reviews, then "Bad Genius" stirred up the landscape of young actors and actresses, and then "The Golden Years," with its heavyweight cast, flopped the biggest.

The 85-generation actresses' fandom is celebrating.

The 00s fandom is also celebrating.

The male celebrity circle is also bustling with activity.

The battle was not one-sided in any of the circles; fans from multiple circles fought back and forth, and each fan group was very involved.

So, it's really boring that all the king oyster mushrooms (fans) changed their profile pictures to flood all the trending topics and caused trouble.

It abruptly interrupted the harmonious infighting among the fangirls, forcibly turning their necks around and demanding that everyone look to King Oyster Mushroom.

Last night, news broke that Zheng Rong had submitted the revised version of "Childhood Games" for review overnight, and the show will soon be available on Tencent Video.

But this news did not reassure the king oyster mushrooms.

Instead, they believe that Zheng Rong, in collaboration with Netflix, used Xu Xing to attack the access ban, which is further evidence of their claims.

Even if Zheng Rong's goal wasn't to act as a traitor to Netflix, he was still stirring up public opinion to force the higher-ups to agree to release the censored version of "Childhood Games" on the internal network.

Sima Zhengrong got tired of eating patriotic food safely and started eating reactionary food.

When Liu Cheng was hit on the head with a bottle, most of the initial criticism was directed at the girl.

However, after the news of the girl being taken away by the police was posted by her best friend, the fan circle jokingly mocked, "Xing Sheng has sent King Oyster Mushroom to jail again," and Liu Chengjiu was also dragged into the condemnation.

But why can't we call the police if someone intentionally causes harm?

As a result, several drama queen fans immediately announced that they were unfollowing Xu Xing, saying that Xu Xing's act of calling the police showed her cold attitude and that she did not respect the fans.

They even used the background music from when Liu Cheng was shot in the head as their battle song to unfollow him.

[I've spent all my gold coins, I've spent all my power, I've spent all the justice I had left...]
They completely flooded the comment section of "Justice" on NetEase Cloud Music.

After reading their latest battle cry, they started demanding clarification of the rumors that Xu Xing would be paired with Yang Mi and Dilraba, two useless women, in "Sheep Without a Shepherd 4," and angrily accused Zheng Rong of kidnapping Xu Xing to curry favor with Jia Xing...

It's really, really, really hard to judge.

It makes no sense.

How could Zheng Rong possibly want to curry favor with Jia Xing?
President Qu finds Jiaxing's constant changes annoying and is even considering directly acquiring Jiaxing so that they can focus on building a palace for Xu Xing.

Honey, how could they possibly kidnap me?

Try to calm down soon!

Can't I just be cute?
The adorable baby finally woke up and quickly nestled down.

Fans' wish is for their idols to get better and better and to be happy forever.

In this respect, Hsu Hsing has always tried her best to fulfill the wishes of her fans.

Hsu Hsing is truly happy now.

Hurry~~~~~~~~~
happy!!!!

Kazuya the hamster is so awesome!!!
get up.

Sun Man sent me a message while I was having breakfast.

[Gangzhen has contacted the media to reveal the inside story of Zhengrong's preparations for an IPO, including the revelation that after the IPO, it will be disclosed that you own 15% of Zhengrong's shares.]

Xu: [Is this to appease the fans?]

Sun: [They're not your enemies. [Pouting]]

Xu: [Laughing and crying emoji]

Hopefully, the fans will be happy to hear the news!

However, when Xu Xing checked online at noon, it seemed that the king oyster mushrooms weren't too impressed.

They calmly questioned the timing of the report's appearance, believing that Zheng Rong had deliberately fabricated it to deceive them.

Many people still insist on not changing their profile pictures and are pleading with Xu Xing, telling her not to fall for Zheng Rong's tricks. They also say that even if she doesn't fall for it, Xu Xing's own value far exceeds Zheng Rong's 15% stake, and encourage her to be brave and independent.

That evening, Sun Man sent a WeChat message saying that she had discovered someone was deliberately stirring up trouble and that there were bad people among the king oyster mushrooms.

Xu Xing let her handle it herself.

Sun Man: [They started fighting amongst themselves, blaming each other; it was very chaotic.]

Xu Xing: [Then let's just leave it alone.]

Sun Man: [Hmm.]

Then another WeChat message popped up.

[You didn't intentionally arrange for Sheng Ke to make "Legend of Fei" turn out that way, to suppress me. [Feeling wronged]]

Ms. Zhao's.

Xu Xing: [Nervous.]

Zhao: [[Pitiful][Pitiful][Pitiful] I'm desperate, I have no choice but to agree.]

Zhao: [Please don't let our relationship become so transactional... I... I'm genuinely sincere towards you, but right now it feels like a business deal.]

Xu: [Transaction canceled.]

Zhao: [crying] You bullied me.

Xu: [In fact, even if you came here, I wasn't planning to give you any role. That's what's sincere and pure.]

Zhao: [...]

Xu: [Stop spamming. You say I'm the best person in the world, but you're not even willing to take a gamble, to invest unconditionally, and to bet that I'll reward your sincere efforts.]

A long while passed.

Zhao: [Tell me the time, I'll check my schedule to make sure it doesn't conflict. It's not a gamble, I've thought it through.]

Xu: [Be prepared to receive nothing for at least a year.]

Zhao: [Xu Xing...]

Xu: [See? You didn't figure it out. I know what kind of person Sister Ying is, but I just want to see if she would jump into a bottomless pit. [laughing and crying emoji]]

Xu: [Actually, I could have avoided saying this beforehand, just taken everything for free, and then slowly made you lose heart with my actions. [doge]]

Are a lot of people looking for you right now?

Ma Fanshu asked cautiously with a smile.

Xu Xing nodded and hugged her even tighter.

"The popularity of 'Childhood Games' overseas has been getting more and more frightening these past few days, and the industry is going crazy. Luckily, I have a place called Fanfan where no one knows about me, so I can hide away and have some peace and quiet."

Xu Xing was supposed to be shooting for a magazine during the day, but suddenly a bunch of people rushed to the photo studio.

Xu Xinglian is now hesitant to return to the set of "The Battle at Lake Changjin" for fear of causing trouble for the production team.

Xu Xing's lips were smeared with honey, and Ma Fanshu felt even sweeter inside.

"I was really scared watching this, but thankfully you were here with me."

"Ah."

Xu Xing smiled.

Ta-da!
Zhao: [I'll jump.]

Xu Xing whistled silently.

I glanced at the time and took Fanfan out of my arms.

"Don't get up early tomorrow."

"Mmmmm~"

Ma Fanshu forced a smile and nodded.
