China Entertainment 1997

A few days after the Spring Festival, Cao Xuan put down all his work and took a good rest for a few days.

Find a few old friends in the capital to have a meal and catch up on old times, or just dress up and take Hu Jing out to spend some time together.

The two of them lived a happy life, while the outside world was still immersed in the aftermath of the Spring Festival Gala.

To be honest, the overall quality of this year's Spring Festival Gala is better than the previous two years.

"At least I still have you" by Lin Yilian and "Move" by Guo Tianwang are both very nice, and the two new songs by Cao Xuan and Hu Jing are also amazing.

In particular, Cao Xuan's "When You Get Old" created a great atmosphere and made me shed countless tears. Many netizens and music critics gave it extremely high praise and received rave reviews. It was hailed as the pinnacle of Cao Xuan's five-year Spring Festival Gala program.

Of course, many people are dissatisfied with this.

Cao Xuan's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and the Spring Festival Gala version of "Stars in the Sea" have many fans.

Not to mention "Gong Xi Fa Cai", it is already a must-have song for the Spring Festival and has even spread overseas. It can be said to be one of Cao Xuan's most influential songs.

"Yellow Race" is the most inferior one in comparison. Although it has some supporters, it can only sit at the bottom.

Some people also talked about Shuimunianhua's "My Life with You", but Cao Xuan laid the foundation for it, so there is not much of a problem.

Even Li Jian, who quit Shuimunianhua last year, was interviewed and revealed that Cao Xuan had a special phone call with him to chat before. The inspiration for the two songs came from Yeats's poems and nothing else.

"When You Get Old" has been highly praised by media networks, and there are even rumors that Cao Xuan will once again win the first prize in the singing and dancing category of the Spring Festival Gala.

If successful, Cao Xuan will win the first prize in the singing and dancing category of the Spring Festival Gala for the second time after last year's "Sea of ​​Stars". Cao Xuan has won the first place in the singing and dancing category for two consecutive years.

It lives up to the reputation spread by the outside world [Zhao Benshan for sketches, Cao Xuan for songs], and it can be called the two major masters of language and song and dance programs of the Spring Festival Gala.

However, Cao Xuan refused to recognize this title, saying many times that he was still far behind some seniors and that he was still young and had to continue learning.

Cao Xuan continued to shine during this year's Spring Festival Gala. Afterwards, "When You Get Old" also appeared on major charts, but its highest ranking was only second.

Because the first one is "Invisible Wings".

In terms of stage performance, as well as word-of-mouth from the media and the audience, "When You Get Old" is slightly better, but in terms of popularity and dissemination, "Invisible Wings" has to be.

In just two days after the Spring Festival Gala, the song "Invisible Wings" topped a music ranking.

Since then, it’s like opening Pandora’s box, with this song crazily destroying all the major music charts. As of mid-February, this song has almost won the first place in 90% of the music charts, and the remaining 10% are at the bottom. It's the top three.

Cao Xuan has been showing off on the charts for several years, but this time he was pinned down by a song for the first time. He tried repeatedly but couldn't get over it.

Countless people in the industry and non-Cao Xuan fans gloated and rejoiced.

But not long after they were happy, they remembered that this song was written by Cao Xuan. The left hand beat the right hand, and they were so happy.

They are not happy, but some are happy, and Hu Jing's fans are very happy.

Ranked first on the killing list, even Cao Xuan pinned him down and beat him, who in the entire Chinese entertainment industry has this ability.

Zeng Li: "Ahem..."

Putting aside her posture, Hu Jing's "Love" became a hit last year and reached number one on the charts at its peak. It was one of the hottest songs in 2002.

If Cao Xuan hadn't been too perverted and had too many king bombs on his hands, this song would probably have made it into the top ten songs of the year.

It is precisely because of the power of this song that even if Hu Jing only has one masterpiece, she has become one of the four small Hua Dan singers with better development.

Not to mention the last place in the international category, Zhou Gongzi's "Piao Yao" is slightly less popular and achieves better results. Only Zhao Zhao can still take the first place thanks to the theme songs of several national-level TV series.

Now that "Invisible Wings" has been released, the popularity of the song itself is very good, coupled with the bonus of the Spring Festival Gala, the top spot of the four little Hua Dan singing circles is likely to need to be replaced.

But this doesn't matter in itself. After all, the main battlefield of the four Xiaohuadan is in film and television, and the music world is just to make money or play for tickets.

Hu Jing also thinks so, otherwise she could have released an album on her own under her conditions, but she didn't because she wasn't very interested.

But I don't care. Fans who like to quarrel with each other within the Four Little Huadans will inevitably come up with new excuses. Hu Jing's fans are showing off, and everyone else is a little bit sour.

"What's so great is that it depends on men."

"You can't rely on me even if you want to, just a little bit."

Not to mention how fans fall in love with each other, this song really has a huge impact on Hu Jing.

The most intuitive thing is not the fame, but the business performance fee, which has doubled. Attendance + singing, 400,000 to 600,000 per performance, and there are many invitations.

If it were any other artist, Fanxing would be able to earn millions for the company in just two months.

However, Mrs. Hu was willful and ignored her, and there was nothing Fanxing Company could do about it. Everyone in the brokerage department knew that it would be better to trick the boss into going there in person than to let Mrs. Hu go to a commercial performance.

But the price of Cao Xuan's commercial performance is hard to say.

In other words, this is no longer a matter of money, but that Cao Xuan now doesn't accept commercial performances at all, no matter how much money he spends. The few commercial activities he attends are only for favors.

It can be said that the money-making king who dominated the mainland commercial performance market back then has now withdrawn from the world.

However, there are still legends about him in the business world. Every year, rich people spend huge sums of money to invite Cao Xuan. Although he is basically declined, the various price tags that are circulated are also envied by countless artists.

………

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, most people's annual leave ends, and Cao Xuan also starts working, taking his parents back to his hometown.

Hu Jing went to Fanxing to hang out with the two crews, and also flew back to Yunnan Province to spend the Spring Festival with her parents.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Xuan was the only one left in the loving family, but he was not lonely either. Zeng Damai returned to Beijing early to prepare for lessons.

This is the advantage of two wives, they will never lack companionship.

Late February is the Grammy Awards ceremony, and Cao Xuan has to fly to the United States. Before leaving, he has one more thing to do.

In early to mid-February 2003, the CCTV-MTV Music Festival and the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards announced the establishment of a new organizing committee and announced the list of judges.

In previous years, not many people paid attention to these lists of judges, and the public did not know these judges very well.

But this year is different, because an unusually familiar name appears on the list.

Cao Xuan!

Member of the evaluation and organizing committee of the 14th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

Vice Chairman of the 5th CCTV-MTV Music Festival Jury Committee.

Everyone who didn't know the inside story was dumbfounded. Why did Cao Xuan become a judge instead of participating in the award?

Many knowledgeable people understand Cao Xuan's thoughts. On the one hand, he retreats bravely at the peak to avoid the embarrassment of a decline in popularity in the future.

On the other hand, it really doesn't matter competing with those singers for awards. It's better to retreat behind the scenes and be a judge. Since you are decent and respectable, you also have a reputation for being generous and supporting the younger generations.

What a brilliant move!

However, the average person can't learn from the master. They don't have Cao Xuan's dominance. It's difficult for them to dominate the rankings for a long time, let alone retreat at the peak of their peak.

What's more important is that Cao Xuan has opened up a new battlefield. People want to compete for honors and go to Grammys, so they naturally don't pay much attention to domestic awards. Other singers are not as calm as him.

Even if they don't care about honors themselves, they still need awards to consolidate their status and add glory.

Therefore, Cao Xuan could choose not to compete for awards in his prime, and others could only envy him but not be able to imitate him.

But even so, Cao Xuan has served as one of the top music award judges in China at the age of 27, which is enough to make the industry sigh.

What's even more impressive is that with Cao Xuan's achievements, he directly serves as the chairman or honorary chairman, directly becoming the top name of this organizing committee.

However, considering his age and some qualifications, the position can only be discounted.

But Cao Xuan Cao Xuan himself was quite satisfied.

He was the first to achieve success. He was still young and had plenty of opportunities to rise to the top. He was not in a hurry to compete with the seniors for power.

Last year when he joined the Beijing Music Association, the leadership immediately asked him to appoint a vice-chairman, and asked him to nominate him. He was only appointed as a committee member and planned to wait until he was 30 years old.

In addition, Cao Xuan's schedule is too busy. If he is asked to be the top leader, responsible for selection and management, he will not be able to spare time.

Therefore, a high-level and leisurely position such as vice chairman or honorary chairman is very suitable for him, and committee members can also be used.

In any case, Cao Xuan serves as a judge for two awards, which can be regarded as a happy event to some extent.

Fans of Cao Xuan feel that they have a good reputation. Anyway, they have already won a lot of awards. When the judges appear to be more awesome, other singers and their fans are also happy. Without the big devil Cao Xuan, it is finally their turn to take the lead.

Especially in the Taiwan Provincial Golden Melody Awards, Cao Xuan has been dominating for three full years, and the male singers at the same time as him have also been accompanying him for three full years. Now they are finally looking forward to the day of success.

Xiao Zhou is gearing up to prepare for the new king to ascend the throne.

At this time, Wang Lihong did not have any divorce problems in the future, so she concentrated on her career and planned to win the Golden Song King for the second time.

There are also people such as Yu Chengqing, Tao Zhe, Lin Zhixuan, and Xiangjiang's Chen Yisun, who also have strong ambitions.

Cao Xuan and the others are still afraid of three points, but the other male singers are not that strong. It is still unclear who will win.

This year's awards were postponed and moved from the original May and June to August and September, which also gave them room to charge. For a while, the music world was filled with smoke.

But this has nothing to do with Cao Xuan.

At that time, he will attend the meeting or vote remotely according to the time instructed by the organizing committee. On the day of the award ceremony, he may attend to cheer for people to award awards.

But Cao Xuan alone can't control who wins the prize, and he doesn't care much.

Anyway, no matter who takes it, he is Brother Xuan’s good brother...

Cao Xuan, who has always had a smooth bowl of water, sent cheering text messages to several younger brothers, encouraging them to work hard. Brother Xuan's vote will always be for his good brothers.

However, he did not specify which good brother it was. Anyway, the vote was kept secret, and the brotherhood should be in place first.

On February 20, Cao Xuan took care of the matters at hand and flew to New York, USA, to attend the 45th Grammy Awards.
