The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 93: Is there a serious psychological problem?
When Xu Xing passed by Wang Chengen, he glanced at him.

He just happened to look up.

Their eyes met.

"Xu Xing!"

Excited shouts.

The woman from Wang Chengen’s arms.

Wang Chengen smiled awkwardly, patted the woman's butt, and motioned for her to jog upstairs first.

Then he called Xu Xing.

"Xiao Xing, I haven't seen you for more than three years."

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Xu Xing remembered that this was what was shouted at the wedding.

In fact, Xu Xing had only met him once, and the two of them didn't even speak a few words.

In my memory, Wang Chengen was quite handsome, and now it seems that he is indeed not ugly.

“Hahaha~” Wang Chengen laughed more and more naturally. “I remember you recommended to Murong that I invest in Musical, the short video company. I researched it and it’s really worth investing in. I will definitely invest in their next round of financing.”

It means it hasn't been invested yet.

"Oh," Xu Xing nodded with a smile, "There is also a company called Pinduoduo, you can also invest in it."

"Pinduoduo?" Wang Chengen repeated, "Oh! The online shopping company in Hai City. OK, I'll study it when I get back. Xiaoxing, you're quite interested in investment."

"Haha."

Xu Xing smiled.

"I came to attend Le's cocktail party today, and I didn't expect to meet you. Xiao Xing, you are doing very well! Big star, I can see a lot of your advertisements every day. Many young people in the company are your fans!"

Wang Chengen smiled more and more enthusiastically.

"I just rely on Sister Murong."

Xu Xing sighed.

"Uh……"

Wang Chengen was embarrassed again.

"Don't invest in Leshi."

Xu Xing advised him.

Le's is a deep pit, and his assets are really not enough.

"Of course!" Wang Chengen said immediately, "We certainly won't invest in companies at this stage. I just came when someone invited me to drink. It's just socializing. It's like this. I just do it for fun."

"Oh, then I won't delay your socializing. I have to go to the celebration party and will be late soon."

Xu Xing took the initiative to say goodbye.

"Oh, all right! Then Xiao Xing, you go ahead and do your work first."

Wang Chengen said quickly.

"Ah."

Xu Xing nodded.

We entered the elevator together.

"Uh, what happened today, Murong..."

Wang Chengen was so embarrassed that he stopped talking.

"I understand, brother-in-law."

Xu Xing smiled.

After walking out of the elevator and saying goodbye to Wang Chengen again, Xu Xing took out his cell phone and sent the photo of Wang Chengen hugging another woman to Yu Murong.

【I saw an acquaintance. 】

……

Yu Murong picked up his phone and looked at the message pushed to him, his expression froze for a moment.

"Work?"

Qu Mingzhen next to him asked.

“No,” Yu Murong shook his head with a wry smile and showed her the photo on the screen, “Xiao Xing took a photo of your brother.”

……

The celebration party for "The Beginning" was quite lively.

Many celebrities came.

"The Rise of Phoenixes", which was launched after "The Beginning", was criticized by the whole network for being terribly cheap at the beginning. Le's is still the same Le who casually makes his own dramas to fool people.

But a week later, public opinion on the entire network began to reverse dramatically.

The thunder is rolling but it can't be stopped! A treasure web drama! Stinky tofu smells bad but tastes really good! Spend every penny to the extreme! It's full of sincerity in the opposite direction of "The Beginning"...

With two consecutive online dramas becoming a huge hit on the internet, Leshi’s stock price has risen by 15% since the launch of “The Beginning”!

The Legend of Miyue, which is exclusively broadcast by Leshi, is coming soon.

Other video websites were facing a formidable enemy, and there were a lot of investors rushing to get on board when Boss Jia brought in his car-making PPT.

In the entertainment industry, Leshi is naturally more popular.

For example, Zhang Tianai, who also came to the celebration banquet, was previously an unknown 18th-tier star, but now he has become extremely popular and is loved by netizens.

——When Xu Xing met her, she would immediately avoid his gaze when they looked at each other, and it was hard to tell whether she had changed her mind. She was extremely polite during the greetings, probably because she wanted to avoid letting others see anything. Xu Xing also respected the good girl Ai Bao and did not try to tease her again.

Such a low-budget and shoddy web drama can be so popular that many obscure and outdated stars in the circle are flocking to it, and all of Le's subsequent self-produced dramas are being snapped up.

Well, after watching "Go Princess Go", many people still think it is just a terrible movie.

But Leshi was able to promote it, which shows that Leshi is very skilled in promoting dramas and people, and this is exactly what celebrities need most.

I automatically attributed the success of "The Beginning" to Leshi.

But Xu Xing had no objection.

Xu Xing chose Leshi as a platform because he was attracted by its ability to create hype. He was not reserved and dared to make false claims. He would definitely deify "The Beginning" at this point in time.

But if the next film "Dark" can be registered and started shooting, Xu Xing will not choose it.

Xu Xing doesn't think that the new investors can push the time of Leshi's bankruptcy too far back. The fierce competition among video websites has only lasted for the past two or three years, and Leshi, which is heavily in debt, can't afford to spend too much money on the website and boast about its content production capabilities.

Even though Mrs. Jia called Xu Xing from time to time to ask about her well-being, she was still preparing to spend a large sum of money to buy "Love O2O".

"What are you thinking about?" someone suddenly asked.

Xu Xing turned around and saw that it was Teacher Qin Lan.

In fact, Xu Xing is interested in Teacher Qin mainly because she likes Fu Cha Rongyin in "Story of Yanxi Palace".

But whether it was from some variety shows I occasionally watched in my previous life, or from several contacts with her, I found that she was indeed the completely opposite type of the little angel Fucha.

"I want to go home and sleep."

Xu Xing sighed.

When I was obscure, I wanted to mix in the circle and hoped to get a chance, but after becoming the focus of everyone's attention, I felt bored.

"..."

Qin Lan bit her lower lip.

"Uh, no, don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about you, Sister Lan. I just feel that it's better to go home and go to bed early than to attend the cocktail party."

Xu Xing explained.

"You said that on purpose."

Qin Lan looked straight at Xu Xing.

The eldest sister in the sisterhood is not an innocent girl.

"The first sentence is really not true. It was obviously you, Sister Lan, who thought about it first."

Xu Xing shrugged.

Put the wine glass on the table next to you.

"I really need to go home and sleep."

Teacher Qin did not leave with him.

Many wanted to go with Xu Xing, but the hassle of getting around the paparazzi outweighed Xu Xing's interest in them.

……

After returning from the celebration party, I still went through the script as usual, chatted with Nazha, went downstairs to run, took a shower, and went to sleep.

In the middle, she received a call from Yu Murong, who explained on the phone that she had been separated from Wang Chengen for a long time, and asked Xu Xing not to worry about her, and also made an appointment to have dinner together the next day.

When Xu Xing went there the next day, Qu Mingzhen was there as expected.

She and Yu Murong wore one black windbreaker and one red, one white sweater and one yellow sweater, which looked like a couple's outfit.

"Xiao Xing, don't think too much. I have already helped Murong teach Wang Chengen a lesson before, and I didn't let Murong suffer any injustice."

Qu Mingzhen spoke first.

Yu Murong nodded beside him.

"Yes, Xiao Xing, don't think too much."

"Yeah, I know Sister Zhen takes good care of Sister Rong."

Xu Xing also smiled and nodded.

Yu Murong and Qu Mingzhen smiled awkwardly together.

Qu Mingzhen, who felt it would be better to just confess, glanced at Yu Murong, who shook his head slightly.

Qu Mingzhen had no choice but to change the subject.

"I'm still reading your script Dark, but I haven't finished it yet. I feel like... isn't it a little too complicated?"

"I watched it for a while these two days, it's actually not bad."

Yu Murong spoke up for Xu Xing.

"Maybe it's a little complicated," Xu Xing scratched his head, "I wrote this script mainly because I thought it was fun. If it doesn't work, I'll put it aside and wait for a chance to shoot it in the future. I'm still writing other scripts, and I don't lack for movies to shoot right now."

"I heard from Liu Cheng that the complete script has three seasons, and the last two seasons will have a very large-scale development. It might be difficult to pass the review?"

Qu Mingzhen asked again.

"It can't be said to be too explicit. It's true that it's hard to pass the review. Because the male protagonist's girlfriend is actually his aunt."

Xu Xing said.

"..." Qu Mingzhen looked at Yu Murong once, then again, and a third time before continuing to ask, "Xiao Xing, why did you write such a script?"

"I just wrote down some random thoughts," Xu Xing smiled shyly, "In fact, there is a mother and daughter who are mother and daughter to each other, that is, her mother is her daughter. There are four major families in this town, and they are basically related to each other by blood."

"..."

Qu Mingzhen looked at Yu Murong again with a serious expression.

Xu Xing, who didn't grow up in a normal family, has some serious psychological problems? Ethics and moral principles don't exist in his heart at all???

Unfortunately, Yu Murong was stunned and did not respond to Qu Mingzhen's gaze for four consecutive times.

Then I can only go back and ask in private.

"Well, the copyright of Zijin Chen's novel that you asked me to buy has been bought," Qu Mingzhen changed the subject. "Speaking of which, Xiaoxing, your opinion at that time made sense. Xinli wanted Zhou Xun to play in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. I met her some time ago. It was hard to believe that she could play the role well in that state."

"Sister Zhen wants to quit?"

"No need to. I'm just becoming less and less optimistic about it, just like you. You've predicted the box office for 'Charlotte's Troubles'. But it's not impossible that it will become a big hit after it's aired."

After dinner, before leaving.

Yu Murong pulled Xu Xing aside.

"Actually, Xiao Xing, even though you're a celebrity and are being watched by paparazzi all the time, if you see a girl you like, it's okay to fall in love with her."

"……Uh-huh."

Xu Xing nodded seriously.

I also praised Liu Chengbo in my heart: He is such a trustworthy partner!

……

For the next period of time, there were no major schedules, so Xu Xing officially started working on the EP.

Because we want to sell it for 5 yuan to boost sales, this EP only has three songs.

The initial planned release date is the end of January, which will be staggered with the release of "Detective Chinatown".

The first song that was put into the EP without any thought was "Actor" by Xue Zhiqian.

This is one of the top three phenomenal singles in the Chinese music scene in the 10s. This song brought Xue Zhiqian back to youth and made her a first-tier singer. It also helped her withstand the hammer that would have forced someone else to retire.

"Confession Balloon" and "Little Lucky" have both been released, and "Actor" is no longer hidden.

The sales of this EP mainly depend on this song.
