The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 535 Where can you find such a frustrated top star?
Yu Murong suddenly sensed Xu Xing's "sinister intentions".

Xu Xing knew that she was almost certain to object, but she still deliberately asked her questions and used words to provoke her.

He seems to have always been like this, just as he said earlier, habitually using politeness and gentleness as a pretense to get others to satisfy his "increased demands".

They seem to be here to apologize, but in reality, they are confronting each other head-on and refusing to give an inch.

Does Xu Xing harbor resentment towards her?

...What if she says she objects?!

Xu Xing... should listen and show respect to her older sister.

As for what he had already discussed with Nazha, Xu Xing would tell her that it was all for naught and that he had changed his mind.

Naza and Zhen Huaiwei were merely tools for Xu Xing to use against her; he never truly cared about those women in his heart...

Yu Murong felt inexplicably relieved.

She nodded.

"Alright."

and then?
Even if he has a hundred more children, what does it have to do with her?
Yu Murong regained her composure as a lawyer.

Xu Xing may have had a difficult time growing up, but now he is a mature and strong man.

Yu Murong felt guilty towards Xu Xing, but she didn't really think that Xu Xing was so fragile that she needed to make concessions and pity her.

No matter what, Xu Xing's affair with Qu Mingzhen was a mistake, and he wronged her.

Having received Yu Murong's approval, Xu Xing smiled happily.

The same smile he had when he saw her again after returning from being a trainee in South Korea.

"Then I'll do my best! Sigh! I really hope I can be as clean and excellent as Sister Rong expects, and become a perfect person. That way, no matter what I do, Sister Rong will think it's right."

Yu Murong understood Xu Xing's veiled criticism, but she simply shook her head.

"I don't think there's such a thing as a perfect person in the world."

"Sister Rong is perfect!"

Xu Xing said with utmost sincerity.

Yu Murong merely sneered inwardly.

He's all smooth talkers... that's all the tricks he has left.

So she just smiled, shook her head again, and didn't say anything more.

Before leaving, Xu Xing went to see her daughter.

She's two years old now, and I heard she can call me "Dad" now, but she falls asleep very early. Xu Xing wanted to hug her, but he was afraid of waking her up.

She waited quietly for half an hour, but she did not suddenly wake up.

So Xu Xing took one last photo, sent it to Ma Fanshu, and then left the room, bidding farewell to Yu Murong, who was already busy at her laptop.

"Sister Rong, go to sleep early. I'm leaving now."

"Well, walk slowly."

Yu Murong didn't raise his head.

After hearing the door close softly and confirming that Xu Xing had left, she looked up, got up from the sofa, went to the bedroom, turned on her computer, and pulled up the room's surveillance footage.

Once inside, Xu Xing wanted to pick up his daughter, but before he could even touch her body, he stopped and withdrew his arm.

Then, Xu Xing quietly watched his daughter for half an hour.

His phone didn't ring again; he must have put it on silent before entering the room.

Yu Murong also watched the recording for half an hour, feeling a faint sense of relief:

Xu Xing at least genuinely cares about family ties.

The magnificent building.

Upon learning that Qu Mingzhen had arrived at the company, Sun Man went to her office immediately.

“Xu Xing went to Shenzhen to see Sister Rong last night. He must have told me after he left that he wanted me to arrange Nazha’s schedule so that he could have a child with her. I asked him a question, and he said that Sister Rong agreed.”

"...Murong hasn't contacted you?"

Qu Mingzhen asked.

Sun Man shook her head.

"No. Judging from Xu Xing's tone, I feel that their cold war hasn't ended this time either. This child seems to have been raised on arguing."

Why use children to argue?

Qu Mingzhen was speechless.

Sun Man twitched the corner of her mouth.

"I guessed."

“I also think this is just arguing for the sake of arguing! Isn’t this just nonsense? The previous child was an accident. If we really want to have another child, it should definitely be you, Manman, not some little star. Why should it be Nazha’s turn today and this other Nazha’s turn tomorrow? He’s angry with Rongrong, why should you, Manman, suffer?”

Qu Mingzhen was furious.

“…No,” Sun Man said awkwardly, “it has nothing to do with me.”

"How can it be unrelated? He liked you the most anyway, why didn't he ask you first?"

"He asked, but I didn't agree."

"Uh, uh... okay. Sigh!" Qu Mingzhen sighed, "Manman, you should agree. If you don't agree, Xu Xing will drift further and further away from our family and become closer to outsiders. If Murong hadn't explicitly said that if I ever saw him again... he would never speak to me again, I would definitely have done it myself! It's just having a baby, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not ready. I'm still so young."

Sun Man said helplessly.

It's easy and carefree to be single, but with multiple children... it's simply unthinkable!
“…Then let Naza give birth.” Qu Mingzhen said helplessly, “When will Xu Xing come back? I want to ask him in person what he really thinks.”

“Xu Xing said he’s staying there for now, and the music video for ‘Stay’ has been moved to Shenzhen for filming tomorrow. Nazha is already in Shenzhen, so it’s convenient for him to go to Hong Kong. He’ll be going there next week to attend Netflix’s Asia Festival. Erika has also returned to Asia and will be in Hong Kong for a while. They want to bring Xu Xing into Hollywood, and Xu Xing probably has a lot to talk about with them. So, why don’t you fly over there, Sister Zhen?”

Sun Man suggested.

Qu Mingzhen thought for a moment and nodded.

“I have to go there. How can Erika win over Xu Xing? Murong may not have the mind to advise Nazha now. I have to go and talk to her. I have to let her know that she shouldn’t think she can be arrogant just because she has a child. She should always know her place.”

Xu Xing had clearly distanced himself from Nazha last year, as if he had gotten tired of her, but then suddenly he made her have a baby... If Nazha can have a baby, then who can't?
If she doesn't act like a villain and get involved, Xu Xing's women will cause a huge uproar in the future.

She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

On April 30th, Qu Mingzhen flew directly to the port city.

Yesterday, after filming the music video for "stay" in Shenzhen, Hsu Hsing went to Hong Kong.

However, at Xu Xing's villa, she only saw Nazha.

Where is Xu Xing?

"Hi Zhen-jie. Xu Xing went to meet with the Netflix boss. Should I give him a call?"

Naza smiled gently.

She was incredibly well-behaved; she felt like a true lady.

These past two days, she has been spending the night alone with Xu Xing, focusing on giving birth to his child. It's been incredibly sweet and blissful.

Although it's still unknown when we'll get married, she'll be part of Xu Xing's family from now on. She can't be like she used to be; she needs to be presentable and become a refined lady who no longer needs to show her face in public.

Yes, Naza is ready to retire.

However, Hsu Hsing-tai dotes on her, and even had her film the music video for her new single yesterday.

Hehehehehe~
Little Dilraba, do you think you're more famous?

But I won forever!!!
...The only problem is that Sister Zhen arrived too quickly, and Nazha, who was waiting at home for Xu Xing to return so they could start cooking at any time, didn't have time to change into elegant clothes.

Qu Mingzhen glanced at Nazha, who was inexplicably wrapped in a bathrobe in broad daylight.

"No need, I'll go find him in a bit. Please have a seat, there's something I need to tell you."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Naza nodded obediently; she knew a lecture from her parents was coming!

Excited, but still sitting gracefully—ahhhhh, why is the bathrobe so slippery?

Pull up the neckline that's slipped down your shoulders!
Tighten your legs!
Listen up!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

When he left, Qu Mingzhen had a lot of complaints on his mind.

What are you wearing?!

...Although I've worn something similar myself.

But who is she showing off to?

However, apart from her bathrobe slipping down, Naza behaved quite well and had a proper attitude. In addition, since she is not very bright, she should be less of a worry in the future.

Heading to my villa!
Qu Mingzhen knew that Erika had rented the villa next door to hers. Although Netflix had already set up an office in Hong Kong, it was still more private and safer to discuss business in the villa.

Moreover, Erika's so-called "discussion with Xu Xing" was actually about sending women to Xu Xing.

Upon arriving at the villa, Qu Mingzhen hesitated for a moment before entering, but ultimately decided not to notify Xu Xing first.

There was no woman Xu Xing couldn't meet.

Xu Xing also thinks so.

As soon as I entered the living room, I smelled a odor at the doorway, which looked as if it had been sprinkled with water. A knotted printed silk scarf was lying on the floor, as if it had been tied up and then pulled down.

...Qu Mingzhen experienced it.

A few steps further, I saw a wrinkled white satin dress hanging on the back of the sofa, a bottle of red wine lying on the messy sofa, and a large patch of red wine spilled on the marble tabletop. It wasn't a single, reflective patch, but rather a large, wet, wine-red stain left after it had been pressed down and wiped away.

On the carpet on the other side of the table, the tea set that had been pushed off was found.

As I went upstairs, a red-soled high heel fell down the stairs. At the top of the stairs, a tattered stocking remained in the corner.

Following the sound, I walked to the outside of the media room, where the door was not properly closed.

"It tastes pretty good. Haven't you tried it yourself?"

"No~ um..."

"How about it?"

"It doesn't taste good~"

"Is mine good?"

"...It's delicious, I want more!"

"Hahaha! Here's an idea. Let's try this: you lie down, and we can both... um~ I can reach too. um~"

"..."

"Actually, when I first debuted, I did consider collaborating with Sister Ting, but unfortunately..." "..."

"Haha~ Yes. I'm a fan of yours... "

"..."

"It was you in the movie. I prefer long, straight black hair... I just wanted to... really..."

Qu Mingzhen suddenly understood the feelings Yu Murong had told her before, but as more and more things inside became incomprehensible, she moved closer until her ears were almost pressed against the door.

["……smell!"]
The sound of the movie playing inside suddenly became much louder.

Qu Mingzhen was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back, but she could tell what movie was playing inside and confirmed who was with Xu Xing.

He really is too much... Murong is right, we really can't spoil him too much, but...

Qu Mingzhen was lost in thought, just beginning to consider how to explain it to Xu Xing, when she heard the laughter inside grow louder, followed by a chaotic cacophony of sounds, and then—

boom!
The door is closed.

But the sound didn't stop; it kept ringing out.

tom!
Boo! ! !
tom!
Boo! ! !
tom!
Boo! ! !
……

"Sister Zhen! What brings you here? Why didn't you tell me?"

When Xu Xing's surprised voice rang in his ears, Qu Mingzhen, who was sitting on the balcony in a daze, finally came back to his senses and forced a smile.

"She hasn't been here long, where is she?"

“She’s taking a shower,” Xu Xing said, sitting down next to Qu Mingzhen. “She probably won’t be out for quite a while. She might even fall asleep.”

Qu Mingzhen hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak out anyway.

“Xiaoxing, I know you’re in a bad mood right now. But Liu Shishi is alright, though she’s a bit of a nuisance. Erika’s acting up, you can’t just let her have her way with everything she wants.”

“I know.” Xu Xing nodded with a smile, “but today was a coincidence, and I told her it would only happen once.”

However, given her extremely exaggerated reaction and her repeated muttering of "it would be worth dying right now," she can just hook her hand whenever she has the chance in the future.

It depends on Xu Xing's mood!
This is the only time for now.

"That's good."

Qu Mingzhen had no choice but to believe it.

She remained silent for a moment.

"You like her that way? Then it would be good to have Nazha have a child."

"That's not true."

Hsu Hsing denied it.

Although it is indeed very fun, and that is an extremely important reason, as Fanfan played it for a long time before, Xu Xing does not admit it.

Xu Xing smiled and gently stroked Qu Mingzhen's smooth, fair oval face with her fingers before standing up.

"I'll send her away right now! I don't want her to interfere with us!"

"I……"

Just as Qu Mingzhen was about to say that she had to go back to see Yu Murong later, Xu Xing had already jogged to the bathroom.

But... it's been so long since I've seen you, and I just listened to you for so long.

There are many ways to keep Yu Murong from noticing. After all, we're all family, and problems will always be solved...

First, let this comfort our longing.

Let's talk about things again.

"I feel fine. I had dinner with her the past two days, and our conversations were normal. As long as things stay the way they are, that's fine. Actually, I don't really have any obsessions. I did have some thoughts before, but it was just that I thought, what if she likes me too? But she's not interested, so I'll just let it go."

"Hmm... But Xiaoxing, I really feel like she's just too embarrassed to do it. But maybe I'm just overthinking it. In order to avoid us having to do this secretly in the future... I'm being too greedy."

"Could I be more greedy than her? But we don't need to make things difficult for her. We travel all over the country and have more time to meet alone. Otherwise, you can blame me. I have so many things to do every day, and I don't want to have to worry about Sister Rong anymore."

"……All right."

"Feel sorry."

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Actually, I feel like we're quite close now. As long as I'm shameless enough, she won't really be angry with me. But what if? What if she really can't accept it?"

"Hmm... Xiaoxing, you're right."

When Xu Xing returned to the villa, Nazha had already dressed up as a little fairy, and happily jumped into Xu Xing's arms, tilting her head up to ask for a kiss.

This simple style is also good.

I had just finished a sweet kiss when I received a WeChat message from Dilraba on my phone.

[Nazha is with you. [Crying]]

I heard... is it true?

Xu Xing called her directly.

"What did you hear? Where did you hear it from?"

"...It's nothing, just a rumor I saw online," Dilraba said awkwardly. "I was just making it up. I'm just a little jealous knowing she's with you."

"We'll see each other again when we join the production team in a while."

"Yes. I just missed you."

"I miss you as well."

After a long, intimate conversation, as soon as they hung up the phone, Nazha snuggled into Xu Xing's arms and rolled around in his arms.

She looked smug after recognizing Dilraba's voice.

While comforting her, Xu Xing went online to search for information.

Yesterday, Hsu Hsing was spotted in Shenzhen filming a music video with Gulnazar, which is known to the public.

There are rumors online that Xu Xing went to Shenzhen to see her child, and that the child with Yu Murong is Gulnazar's.

After going through a roundabout way, Xu Xing finally found it by searching for the keyword "child".

But as these rumors spread about Xu Xing, these jinxes would love to spread rumors that a female celebrity in the entertainment industry had gone to have a child with Xu Xing if she hadn't appeared in public for a long time.

There's nothing special about this one, so there's no need to worry about it.

As May arrives, the most exciting news for the fan community is that Xu Xing's "stay," which she performed at the Coachella Music Festival two years ago, is finally going to be officially released as a studio recording.

The fangirls weren't doubting whether "Stay" would reach number one since its release. It was a foregone conclusion; the moment the single's teaser was released, fans around the world went wild. They had been eagerly anticipating the studio version of this single for far too long.

What's exciting is that the rumors circulating a few months ago that Hsu Hsing would invite Tsai Chin-ni to release this single together have actually come true.

As expected, the Chinese entertainment industry will produce a second artist to top the Billboard charts, albeit one bestowed by Hsu Hsing.

iGee was overjoyed, shedding tears for the teacher-student relationship on Idol Producer, and believing that Cai Jini deserved it.

Everyone knows that going to the US to sell orders is a thankless and arduous task, but besides Hsu Hsing, only Tsai Chin-ni in the Chinese entertainment industry persisted. All her efforts and perseverance finally paid off!
iKe had mixed feelings. They always believed that Sheng Ke's stage presence was much stronger than Cai Jini's. Although Sheng Ke had focused on acting after his comeback and had good resources, Xu Xing didn't give the opportunity to the brilliant Sheng Ke, but instead gave it to an outsider.

There's no need to argue anymore. Xu Xing has disliked Sheng Ke since "Idol Producer." She didn't deliberately avoid him or suppress him just to secure a role in a drama series.

Tao Mei sneered, which once again demonstrated how superficial the brotherhood he had previously marketed was.

Although Hou Minghao focuses primarily on acting, he has never given up on music! He releases an EP and an album every year! In Chinese. Because he just wants to share his music with his fans, the "Kiwis" (his fans' fans)~ no!

With so many overseas kiwifruit, Xiao Hou must have already prepared an English single for them!

After all, what's so difficult about releasing an English single? Xiao Hou often uses English background music on Douyin!

But why hasn't he posted it yet?
To be fair, Xiao Hou is second only to Xing Chu in popularity in China. Even a novice can get a Billboard Top 10 single in the US, so Xiao Hou, whose popularity far surpasses his, is even more impressive!
She even topped the Billboard charts with ease. Now, Peach Girl's strength and the level of her die-hard fans are no less than Apricot Mushroom's when she released "Love Yourself"!
So why hasn't he posted it yet?
It was suppressed by Sima Zhengrong, the real maggot!
Those virgins must ensure that they are the only ones in the country who can win the top spot on the B list!
Last year's patriotic attack on BTS, which boosted the morale of the group and targeted "Dynamite," actually demonstrated that the group was suppressing artists across Asia.

The whole Si family is still basking in the glory of Asia!

—This was originally the logic that the girls had put together.

They were all eagerly anticipating that as soon as Xiao Hou left Zheng Rong, he would immediately release an English single that would top the Billboard charts and steal everyone's thunder! Then Xiao Hou would embark on the path to becoming a global superstar!

Dismantle the hegemony of the fortunate!

Bring happiness down to the dust!
They already consider the title of the second Asian artist to top the Billboard charts (not counting the ancient ones) to be Xiao Hou's for the taking!
But suddenly...

Is it possible that Cai Jini will lead the B-list to the top spot?

Who the hell believes they weren't having an affair?
I was so angry that my period came back to my head!

Luckily, it was intentional!
He deliberately brought up his male favorite to disgust Xiao Hou!
Poor Xiao Hou was even dragged into the already promoted movie "Snowy Mountain" by Xing Chu, and forced to play the male lead's good brother, allowing Xing Chu to leech off him!

Even the word "birth" doesn't do justice to how fortunate I am!

It's so hard for Xiao Hou! It's so hard ...
Where in the world can you find a top star who's so frustrated?!

Well... actually, the rumors about Naza's child were just fabricated by the impotent rage of the Tao girls.

Other fandoms are just laughing and having fun.

King Oyster Mushroom is the Lich King, but Peach Girl isn't exactly a saint either. Taking down AO3 is just one piece of evidence. If Peach Girl can't beat King Oyster Mushroom, she might take her anger out on other players.

Just like how King Oyster Mushroom attacks them, Peach Girl attacks other groups in the same way. On the contrary, King Oyster Mushroom often stands up at this time to support the little fans who are being suppressed by Peach Girl.

Xing Sheng is so domineering that we'll almost never see King Oyster Mushroom eat shit in our lives, but the girls get to watch Peach Girl eat it bite by bite, hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

The Xingsheng team really deserves praise!

They supported Tao Mei, whose extraordinary abilities rivaled those of Xingbaogu, and pushed Xing Sheng and Hou Minghao to sever ties, allowing Xingbaogu to gain prestige through Tao Mei.

These days, fewer and fewer people dare to provoke King Oyster Mushroom (a nickname for a fan), and King Oyster Mushroom is making fewer and fewer moves. Many newcomers to the fandom think King Oyster Mushroom is a righteous force maintaining peace within the fandom... Waaaaah~ Sister Ni and Sister Kuwei died so tragically~
Laugh to death!

After the trailer for "Stay" was released, iGee fans across the internet started calling the king oyster mushroom "Mom"!

Cai Jini is really going to take off this time!

After getting a Billboard Top 10 single last year, Cai Jini, who had been somewhat quiet before, saw a significant improvement in her resources. Once she gets another number one single, Tao Mei, who was only good at bullying her own kind, will no longer be bullied by iGee.

The current trend in the Chinese entertainment industry is to expand overseas. Having a few dramas in Southeast Asia is really not as good as breaking into the American music scene!
Below the top-tier celebrities, the number one spot might really be changing hands.
These are the things that are making waves in the fan community.

For the entertainment industry, the most exciting event was Netflix's Asia Festival held in Hong Kong on May 3.

Rumors suggest that Netflix will officially announce its massive investment plan in Asia and unveil a number of key series at the event, which will also be attended by many Asian superstars.

The rumor is true.

There were indeed many big names in attendance, with celebrities from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong present. In addition to Hsu Hsing, Netflix also managed to get Jackie Chan to attend.

Many people also came from South Korea and Japan.

For example, on the Japanese side, there is Masami Nagasawa, who had a friendly collaboration with Xu Xing in "Detective Chinatown 3".

On the Korean side, there was also Son Ye-jin, who had an awkward conversation last time but had a pretty good chat this time.

"My biggest regret is that I can no longer cooperate with Nuna."

Xu Xing sighed.

Son Ye-jin's eyes crinkled with laughter.

"Me too."
