China Entertainment 1997

Someone witnessed the Spring Festival Gala director going to Fanxing Company and it spread like wildfire, but it didn't cause any sensation.

After four years, everyone has become accustomed to the Spring Festival Gala + Cao Xuan. When he goes to the Spring Festival Gala, they won't be shocked by anything. Everyone is just looking forward to what song Cao Xuan will sing this year.

Cao Xuan finally made his choice and submitted it to the Spring Festival Gala director team for review. Hu Jing's songs are still being selected for the time being. He will wait for Hu Jing to audition before signing up for the Spring Festival Gala.

After all, Mrs. Hu is not a professional singer. She may not be able to sing many difficult songs, so she must prepare in advance.

In addition, just in case, Hu Jing personally prepared a dance program.

If the song fails, she feels that with her many years of dance skills, she can dance solo.

But Cao Xuan is very unfavorable. Let’s not forget that singing is easier to excel than dancing. In the decades of Spring Festival Gala history, the number of famous dance programs in the Spring Festival Gala can be counted on one hand.

As for Spring Festival Gala dances, the number is much smaller than that of singing programs, and the competition is extremely fierce.

Cao Xuan has been in the Spring Festival Gala for so many years and knows the strength of those Spring Festival Gala dancers very well.

The lead dancers of group dances are at least top talents from major military art troupes, local song and dance troupes, and art academies.

Not to mention solo dance, they are the mainstays of various units or simply dancers who have won awards nationally and even internationally.

Although Hu Jing is also known as a child, she switched to acting when she was in college. She has a 70% score in dancing, which is pretty good.

It’s okay to participate in variety shows and fool outsiders. I want to lead the dance or even dance solo in the Spring Festival Gala.

Unless Cao Xuan himself is the director of the Spring Festival Gala, or he can give her a "Thousand-Hand Guanyin", otherwise he is just wishful thinking.

Of course, Cao Xuan did not dare to say this to the Empress of the East Palace. If she was willing to prepare, she would prepare. If she was hit, he would personally comfort her...

………

At the end of October, Cao Xuan had recorded most of the songs for the new English album.

After the filming of "When Men Fall in Love" is completed, additional recording and MV shooting will be completed. The finished product will be available in February or March next year, and the specific release date will be considered at that time.

At this time, big things happened in the entertainment industry.

The "East Weekly" incident in Hong Kong broke out, causing a nationwide uproar. Big names in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong marched in protest, and "East Weekly" was forced to suspend publication.

Some artists in the mainland also expressed support, Cao Xuan is one of them.

He was invited by Cheng Long and Anita Mui, president of the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association. Cao Xuan is famous here and has extensive influence in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Asia, and his voice is powerful for the parties involved.

Cao Xuan personally also made some use of the topic, and he had some mentality of suppressing the paparazzi.

Although "Cao Xuan" was born as a paparazzi, but now his status is different, everyone has naturally become "opposites".

As I said before, before the Internet became popular, the media had a very high say.

This is not a bad thing originally. If the media can exercise normal and orderly media supervision power, it will be a good thing for society and the public.

But unfortunately, many media cannot do this.

Entertainment reporters, in particular, don’t publish much serious news. They make up random things to throw dirty water, and have a special knack of fanning the flames and setting the pace.

Afterwards, Zhuo was called a disciplinary inspector in the entertainment industry and was praised by countless people as a hero who attacked the entertainment industry.

But in fact, there is a lot of dirty information about this guy. In his early years, he was made up in various ways. Some celebrities were so angry that they burned their cars, and some celebrities wanted to confront him. As a result, they didn't even dare to fart, and his reputation became notorious in the streets.

At that time, artists did not have a platform to speak out, and sometimes they had to be bullied. Later, they were able to speak out through the Internet, and the two sides faced off from a distance, and real action gradually emerged.

Although Mr. Zhuo has contributed to purifying the entertainment industry, and those bad actors are certainly hateful, we must not regard paparazzi as good people, let alone heroes.

Driven by profit, it's just dog eat dog.

Cao Xuan never discriminated against the paparazzi, and even took care of them when it was convenient. But sometimes, he could really feel the paparazzi's arrogance and hatefulness.

One mouth, one pen, speaking black words into white words, leaving you unable to express your sufferings, and you will suffer the loss of being dumb.

What's more, for the sake of traffic exposure, they don't behave at all and dare to expose any news, such as "East Weekly". These media do not even have a basic moral bottom line.

More recently, there was also the kidnapping of the daughter of a Taiwanese actress, which was also frantically reported by entertainment reporters, causing the kidnapper to quarrel.

It can be said that as much as later generations are annoyed by marketing accounts and self-media, the current public views entertainment reporters, even worse.

Cao Xuan personally owns a media studio. Although he is not afraid of those entertainment reporters, he can't stand their various troubles.

Especially for the "East Weekly" similar incident, there is no basic code of conduct. It is not surprising that the big names in Hong Kong are anxious. If this were in the mainland, Cao Xuan would be the one leading the protest.

Afterwards, Anita Mui and the couple involved made a special phone call to express their gratitude to Cao Xuan for his support, and Cao Xuan also politely sent his own support and encouragement.

Although he didn't like the couple, they were indeed the victims in this matter, and Cao Xuan felt that he had done nothing wrong.

However, Anita Mui felt that Cao Xuan was very loyal. She had always acted like a big sister, and even asked Cao Xuan to take time to come to Xiangjiang. She would host him and take him around Xiangjiang Island to meet people in the industry.

Cao Xuan thanked her and reminded her to take care of herself, but that was all.

Whether it's her or another Xiangjiang superstar, there are many things that Cao Xuan can't interfere with.

The former was diagnosed with the disease in 1999 and has now begun to deteriorate. The latter is a physiological pathology that Cao Xuan cannot recover from.

The influence of the "East Weekly" incident is basically mainly from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Mainland people are mostly melon-eaters. Mainland artists such as Cao Xuan voiced their support, which caused a certain disturbance.

Except for Cao Xuan's personal voice, Fanxing's internal staff did not get involved in this matter.

Including Hu Jing, she is busier than Cao Xuan now. In addition to rehearsing the Spring Festival Gala songs and behind-the-scenes production of "When Men Are in Love", she also has to promote the new drama "The Unruly Princess".

In fact, there is not much to say about this movie. It has the same light-hearted style as "Love Through Time", and even the heroine's character is somewhat similar, both are quirky and quirky.

However, the crayfish in "The Unruly Princess" is a little more cute and cute, and the plot arrangement is more colorful than the previous one.

Apart from other things, the heroine disguises herself as a man, and the hero, the emperor, notices it and plays with her. He is moved by the heroine's various actions and is willing to pamper her, and provides various assistance behind the scenes, allowing the heroine to kill everyone.

It's a bit like Fei Lufeng's [Heart Voice Stream] and [Pull xxx to rebel].

In short, one party knows the identity, the other does not know the identity, one shows himself, and the other escorts behind the scenes, forming a plot conflict and enhancing the sense of excitement. In this process, the audience is also looking forward to the final "recognition".

The next step is simple. This model will be popular in the Internet literary world twenty years later, let alone 2002.

The audience watched the interaction between the heroine Crayfish and the hero Emperor every day, with aunty smiles on their faces. They followed the update every day, looking forward to the day when both of them would reveal their true identities.

And when the two finally recognize each other, the next plot is to set up the difficult points.

After passing through Concubine Wen (love rival), An Ning (sister-in-law) and the Queen Mother (mother-in-law), true love finally comes together.

Then the crayfish's identity as a princess from the previous dynasty was reversed. It turned out that the male and female protagonists had hatred between the country and the family, creating an identity conflict and laying the groundwork.

After the male and female protagonists truly love each other and put aside their grudges, there will be another wave of rebellion by the male protagonist's father, the feudal king. Then the female protagonist will step forward and her previous identity buttons will be unbuttoned.

The second male lead's father is the heroine's uncle. For the sake of the female protagonist, he gave up his rebellion. With the female protagonist's protection, the feudal king was also exempted from death penalty. The second male lead married the emperor's sister, and everyone was happy.

If it were a serious historical drama, this plot would have countless flaws.

The princess of the former dynasty became a queen, and she loved only one person. The vassal king rebelled and was absolved. There was also a relative and a consort in the family. The emperor could not sleep at night, so he was considered a big heart...

Twenty years later, he might become a guest of the major film and television complainers, and Bug could make the screenwriter vomit blood.

However, "The Unruly Princess" is not without its merits.

First of all, the rhythm and design of the plot are quite good. The climax follows one after another, making the audience's emotions stay in the plot and unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

The character creation is also very good. The female protagonist is kind and lively, and the male protagonist is a gentleman and upright. Both of them have business interests and their emotional lines are firm and clear.

Although it is said to be a love triangle, the second male lead and the love rival Concubine Wen Guifei do not threaten the relationship between the male and female protagonists at all, and there is almost no bloody misunderstanding.

Ignoring the logical flaws of the Machiavellian plot, this drama is still very good. After all, it is not a historical drama, but a light comedy idol drama, which is sweet enough and good enough to watch.

Undoubtedly an excellent "popcorn" TV series that is light-hearted and accessible to a wide audience.

When evaluating film and television dramas, we must take into account the background of the times. Besides, childhood filters aside, this drama has so many advantages that it may not be able to become a hit in future generations.

After all, many sweet pet dramas in later generations are not very logical, but they are still quite popular.

In 2002, such a drama was undoubtedly a guarantee of ratings.

Coupled with the popularity of Hu Jing and the original cast of "Love Through Time", this TV series dominated the screen as soon as it was aired.

It premiered in late October. As of the 35th episode finale, "The Unruly Princess" has average ratings of 7.4 nationwide, 23.9 in the capital, and an average market share of about 15-20%.

This result is slightly worse than "Love Through Time", but considering the decline in the overall ratings of the TV series and the dominating performance of "The Unruly Princess" in the same period, it can still be regarded as a hit.

"Love Through Time and Space", "A History of Martial Arts", "The Golden Family" and "The Unruly Princess"

In just two years, Hu Jing has produced several hit TV series. Among them, she played an absolute role in two hit dramas, which has brilliantly proved her ability to handle ratings.

If the "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" series were not so outrageous, Hu Jing would be No. 1 in the field of TV dramas featuring four little actresses.

Even now, when Zhao has switched to movies, others are either less popular or have lower grades. Hu Jing has directly become the number one star on mainland TV.

Mr. Zhou can still fight if "Legend of the Condor Heroes" breaks out next year, otherwise he will be a younger sister in front of Mrs. Hu...
