The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 6 Get the words out first
“You have already written a song, right?”

Liu Cheng asked.

"Yes," Xu Xing nodded, "I have some songs written. I have read the novel "Fleeting Time" before. I will think about the plot first and see which song is suitable."

After saying that, Xu Xing lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

He would pick up his phone from time to time and type a few words. I wonder if he was recording the main points of the novel's plot.

"Snap~" Xu Xing snapped his fingers and looked up. "I've picked it! The melody is almost right in my mind. Brother Cheng, take a look. I think the lyrics should be quite suitable. If possible, we'll make it as soon as possible when we get back."

Then he handed over the phone.

Liu Cheng, who was trying to guess what kind of person Xu Xing was, took the phone and took a look.

What he just wrote down on his phone was not the plot of the novel, but the lyrics? Written on the spur of the moment? No—

Just now, Xu Xing must have been temporarily modifying the lyrics that he had written in advance.

This lyrics...

[It’s all my fault. I was silent when I shouldn’t have been, and I was weak when I should have been brave…]
Just looking at the lyrics, it is a perfect match for any youth pain movie.

"The lyrics are great, Xiao Xing you are so amazing!"

Liu Cheng praised it after reading it.

The lyrics are indeed good, and since it was a song written in advance, Liu Cheng had a good idea of it.

"Haha~"

Xu Xing smiled.

As he turned his head, Yu Murong next to him happened to look over.

Xu Xing took a screenshot of the lyrics in the memo and sent it to her on WeChat.

After a while, she responded.

[You were in a relationship and then broke up? ]

【without. 】

She didn't ask any more questions.

……

After the flight took off, Xu Xing took some time to go to the bathroom and record a short a cappella segment.

After Liu Cheng listened to it, he no longer had any doubts about the song, and he finally took his debut with the promotional song seriously.

When Yu Murong heard it, she couldn't help but give Xu Xing a blank look.

……

The plane lands.

I will go to meet Qiu Likuan in the afternoon.

Qiu Likuan is a fat man with a casual personality. He always wears slippers when he goes on shows or walks on the red carpet. He speaks very frankly, even a little too polite. He said that placing Hui Xing's contract with Galaxy Entertainment is a sign of respect for her.

She also praised Xu Xing several times: he is handsome and talented, a natural born superstar, will definitely become very famous, and is also rare to be mature and sensible.

Xu Xing maintained the slightly shy smile that a young person should have.

Liu Cheng didn't talk about the specific work, so he talked less. In fact, Yu Murong originally asked him to come and meet some people, so that he could go back and forth between the two places to handle things for Xu Xing.

It was mainly Yu Murong and Qiu Likuan who were chatting.

Finally, they talked about the island province in the first half of the year and the Yu family who had moved to Singapore. The atmosphere became a little solemn when they talked about the future.

At the beginning of this traffic era, the Internet is still developing rapidly, and mobile Internet is beginning to gain momentum. Although some signs have begun to make people worry, the golden age of prosperity is coming.

For the entertainment industry, the successive introduction of policies to strengthen film cooperation between the two places has further promoted the influx of practitioners from the island province to work in the mainland. Three months ago, the Sino-Korean film co-production agreement was signed, and China took another step towards becoming the cultural and entertainment center of East Asia.

The entertainment industry was thriving. Who could have thought that the world would suddenly turn right so quickly?

……

The dinner with director Chen Yushan in the evening seemed more "commercial".

Chen Yushan jokingly complained that Xu Xing had hurt her heart and would rather do nothing for two months than act in her movie.

After the preliminary casting of "My Girlhood" was completed, Chen Yushan, who was training the actors in preparation for the start of filming, could not give up the idea of signing Xu Xing and letting her play the role. The lyrics of "Little Lucky" would appear in her mind from time to time.

After learning from Huace that Xu Xing had not signed with a company yet, and finding a way to find Xu Xing's sister's phone number, Chen Yushan originally wanted to use the parental approach and persuade her with her feelings in a final effort.

She is quite confident about her film and believes that she will be able to create a new star who can succeed Ke Zhendong and become a top star in mainland China, just like she did with Ming Dao and Ruan Jingtian in the past.

Xu Xing’s qualifications are so good.

But Chen Yushan never expected that Xu Xing's sister was such a powerful person.

Within three days, he secured GEG Music, brought in Wanda Films, and convinced Huace Films to completely cut off the possibility of her signing Xu Xing, leaving her with only the choice of whether or not to let Xu Xing play the male lead.

She was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to ask Yu Murong if he could play the second male lead.
Given this situation, does Xu Xing need a male lead?
She also somewhat understood Xu Xing's previous high self-esteem.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Shan."

Xu Xing apologized and offered a glass of wine as compensation.

After all, he was the director. She was very angry when she went straight to Huace. Later, when she contacted Yu Murong again, she still had illusions about signing Xu Xing.

What Xu Xing feels sorry about now is the sideways jump at the beginning.

After finishing the drink, Xu Xing continued to speak hesitantly.

"… Actually, it’s not like I didn’t do anything. I was thinking that I could write a script, and I happened to meet a director in South Korea. He told me that NEWS Films was very interested in my script, but he wanted me to compress it and turn it into a movie script. I wrote a TV script, so he could invest some money and make a low-budget movie to try it out.

"I thought it was okay to film the script and star in it myself without any pay, and I was busy with this matter. Then, Sister Murong caught me all of a sudden. Alas~"

Xu Xing sighed deliberately, causing everyone in the private room to laugh.

Yu Murong beside him criticized him unhappily.

"You still have the nerve to say that it was me who stopped you from acting in the movie?"

She was really unhappy in her heart. Just yesterday she told Xu Xing that she was busy with Huace's investment in NEWS case some time ago, but today Xu Xing made up a lie and boasted about it at the dinner table.

She felt that Xu Xing had become too impetuous and had contracted these bad habits before even officially entering the entertainment industry.

Xu Xing used to be a bit of an introvert, but now she is so clever with Director Chen Yushan's "complimentary and sophisticated" attitude...

Yesterday, Xu Xing gave Yu Murong the impression that he had matured a lot, but now he has changed so much.

"Wow, Xiao Xing, you mean you still don't want to act in my movie? I've been waiting for you for so long and it hasn't even started filming!"

Chen Yushan laughed exaggeratedly.

"No, no," Xu Xing said quickly, "I told them yesterday that I would not shoot. Sister Shan attaches so much importance to me, as if I am more important than anyone else in the crew, I——"

"Of course you are more important than anyone else!"

Chen Yushan pretended to be generous and raised her fist in the air.

The information was successfully extracted from him, and Xu Xing immediately made the promise.

"I will try my best to play the role of Xu Taiyu well!"

"You are Xu Taiyu!"

Chen Yushan laughed.

"I strive for it!"

As soon as Xu Xing finished speaking, he felt his calf being kicked by Yu Murong next to him.
