The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 8 Mainly because I am afraid that Sister Murong will misunderstand
The producer Liu Cheng found for Xu Xing was Wei Wei, the keyboardist of the band Travel Band.

The studio had not yet gotten on track, and Yu Murong had no direct connections in the music industry. Liu Cheng volunteered that he knew some people in the Beijing music circle, so she completely handed the responsibility over to Liu Cheng.

When introducing the band, Liu Cheng was probably afraid that Xu Xing would look down on them, so he emphasized that the Travel Band was a great band and that teacher Wei Wei was a great composer.

In fact, he originally wanted to find Mars Radio, which had just participated in the production of Chen Yixun’s new album "Mi·Shan" in the first half of the year, so that it could be considered famous if he told Xu Xing about it.

But Mars Radio, which helped Chen Tianwang to complete the album, had a lot of work to do, and Xu Xing needed this song urgently. Plus, some people looked down on this kind of pop music. As a result, he had no choice but to ask Wei Wei, who happened to be in Beijing, to come over.

"I know, I've heard it too. Didn't Cheng Ge just play "bye bye" on his way here? I'm really happy that Teacher Wei Wei can help me make this song."

Xu Xing smiled.

I can understand Liu Cheng's feelings. The current travel group is really not very famous - in fact, it will not be very famous in the future. They have to wait until the song "Lost Songs" is released next year before they can become famous in a small circle.

In his previous life, Xu Xing was at the bottom of the entertainment industry and had to cultivate some literary interests and chat with others, so he was quite familiar with these bands.

In fact, Wei Wei is a very suitable producer. The style of their band is more popular, and he has produced songs for many popular singers in his previous life.

And the price is very cheap, only 3000 yuan. The studio is just starting, and the artist's career is just beginning, so it is better to save money to buy hot searches.

After hearing what Xu Xing said, Liu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.

Yu Murong was busy with her own work, while Liu Cheng was busy with the work of the entire studio and had a lot of things to do.

The more he did, the better he could do, and the more status he could gain in the studio before the still unknown general manager took over.

After Liu Cheng left, Xu Xing shared his opinions on the arrangement of this song with Wei Wei.

At SM Entertainment, Xu Xing had taken music classes and had the basic knowledge of composing music in his memory. He could also play the piano and had recorded a simple demo a cappella in advance, so communication was effortless.

Wei Wei also emphasized to Xu Xing that he respects the singer's opinions on his songs.

The two of them spent the entire day communicating. Then Wei Wei tried to compose music while Xu Xing went to another room to practice vocal music. They communicated some more and then separated.

Before going home in the evening, Xu Xing went into the glass room and recorded the first version of the vocals.

Wei Wei thought Xu Xing sang very well.

"Better than our band's lead singer."

He smiled and joked.

By the afternoon of the next day, the entire arrangement was very close to the original version, and Xu Xing had officially completed the recording of the vocals.

Liu Cheng is waiting for it, and Wei Wei also thinks that Xu Xing will not be able to sing better in a short period of time. The last version is particularly emotional.

In addition, Yu Murong, who had disappeared for two days, reappeared and took Xu Xing to see the acting teacher - a big shot that Xu Xing had never expected, Teacher Chang Li.

Although she was not in a good mood when they met, and complained several times that she had not taught students for many years, she emphasized that she would only teach Xu Xing for a few days and that she did not have the energy to discipline Xu Xing. It all depended on Xu Xing's own aptitude and self-awareness.

Then on the first day, Xu Xing was asked to practice body posture for a whole day.

But Xu Xing finally started taking intensive acting classes.

……

On the 18th, Liu Cheng came to tell Xu Xing that after Wan Da entered the "My Girlhood" project, it should eventually continue the project as an island provincial film.

Co-productions have a certain ratio of actors from the mainland, but for this film, director Chen Yushan had already prepared a whole cast from the island province, and now she just replaced Xu Xing as the male lead.

The crew has tentatively scheduled the filming to start in early December.

At the crew of "So Young", "It's a Pity There Are No Ifs" helped Liu Cheng convince the crew to use male and female perspectives to produce two versions of the trailer.

The male version will be released first on October 10, and Xu Xing's "It's a pity there is no if" will be released first to warm up for the film.

The female version will be released in mid-November, and Wang Fei's "Fleeting Time" will be online.

"That's the arrangement."

Liu Cheng smiled after he finished speaking.

He is in a more relaxed mood now. Yesterday, "Waiting for Coffee" was released in mainland China and was a huge hit.

Xu Xing nodded.

Then Liu Cheng asked again, "Have you ever been in a relationship before? When the song is released the day after tomorrow, you will officially debut. Every aspect of you may be exposed. I must be aware of all the situations and deal with them in advance."

"No." Xu Xing shook his head decisively, "And I have already deleted all my previous social media accounts."

"……That's good."

Liu Cheng had nothing more to say.

Xu Xingdu started to answer questions quickly, and as he had shown before, he seemed to have adapted to the entertainment industry for several years.

Is the training of trainees by South Korean entertainment companies really that intense?

Of course, the premise is that Xu Xing did not lie and was telling the truth.

"I'm still selecting an assistant."

Liu Cheng said again.

Relatively speaking, assistants are more likely to know things that certain artists deliberately want to conceal than their agents.

"Not urgent."

Xu Xing didn't care either.

Xu Xing has not yet evolved to the point where her assistant kneels down to help her put on her shoes, or where her assistant holds the shells in his hands while she eats melon seeds.

“‘The Beginning’ will be approved as early as next month. President Yu may invest money to ensure the production quality, but Huace is still coordinating the production schedule. The director will probably not be decided soon. The official shooting may not start until the second half of next year.”

Xu Xing would urge him about this matter from time to time, and Liu Cheng felt like he was reporting on his work.

There is no experience of moving towards the state of "a good agent is one who can fully control the artists".

"Well, it's important to get the project approved first. I've worked so hard to write a script, and I have to film it."

This is how a rash young man would talk!

So Liu Cheng also laughed after hearing this.

“That will definitely be filmed.”

……

After Liu Cheng left, Xu Xing picked up the open book again and continued reading aloud.

"One step from the window,

He brushed the hair off his cloak;
He swore by the ice peak:

'Sleep my dear, I will come back like an avalanche.'"

After reading the entire poem, Xu Xing couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Teacher Chang has been asking Xu Xing to practice his posture and lines these days.

But Xu Xing is going to play Xu Taiyu, a gangster with an island accent!
Hey~
A WeChat message was pushed over.

Pick up the phone and take a look.

[You finally got the role! This movie by Shanjie will definitely be a big hit! You will definitely be famous! Believe me! [Laughs]]

From Ms. Chen Qiaoen, whom I met unexpectedly in a bar more than a month ago.

It was from her that Xu Xing learned that "My Girlhood", an island movie about which no information could be found before its official release, was about to start auditions.

Click on her profile picture.

Xu Xing hesitated for a moment.

Do you want to delete her?
Mainly because I’m afraid Sister Murong will misunderstand.

...But isn't this another sign of bad character?

Hey!
If I had known this earlier...why would I have gone to the bar to look for opportunities based on my experience in my previous life?
