China Entertainment 1997
Chapter 44 The entertainment industry in early 1998
The entertainment industry in early 1998 was not peaceful.
"Water Margin" swept the TV drama circle. After its premiere on CCTV, it successively landed on major local and provincial channels. The heroes of Liangshan have truly entered thousands of households.
The same is true for Cao Xuan, a high-ranking official in Ximen. Now he has to wear a mask and sunglasses as a cover when going out.
At the same time, "Carry Love to the End", the theme song sung by Cao Xuan, was also broadcast on CCTV after two rounds of good results.
Xu Cainv and Li Yapeng's fame has soared, and they have become representatives of Huadan and Xiaosheng in Mainland China.
The national TV series "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", which is about to enter the history of Chinese television, will premiere in Taiwan soon.
However, at this time, neither Qiong Yao nor the Taiwanese audience paid much attention to this drama, but paid more attention to "The Sky Has Tears" starring Jiang Qinqin and Jiao Enjun.
In terms of movies, Feng Xiaogang, who has been Wang Shuo's younger brother for many years, is finally proud of the success of "Party A and Party B", the first Chinese New Year movie in the Mainland.
Huayi Brothers, who were preparing to enter the film and television industry from the advertising industry, took a fancy to Feng Xiaogang's potential and planned to invest in him to make another New Year's comedy "See You or Be Parted".
In addition, the generous Huayi Brothers also contacted two other great directors-Brother Chen Kai and Jiang Wen.
They respectively invested in their new works "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" and "The Japanese Are Coming".
The Wang brothers, who have just entered the industry, are quite down-to-earth, especially saying that they don't know how to make movies and listen to the director.
As everyone knows, just this sentence fell into two big pits...
In the Mainland film industry, "Party A and Party B" swept all directions, while in the Hong Kong film industry, Cheng Long's "Who Am I" competed with Xing Ye's "Fortune".
And looking abroad, it is the world of "Titanic".
Since its release last year, this classic movie has taken the world by storm, and now its box office is approaching US$1 billion.
The film's leading actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate, became famous in one fell swoop and became the hottest stars in Hollywood.
Director Cameron has even become the world's top famous director, once overshadowing Spielberg and Lucas who made "Star Wars".
According to gossip, China is currently negotiating with the producers of "Titanic".
Soon, the big ship may be sailing to mainland China...
Let's talk about the music scene. "Song of a Hero" and "Meet Me in 1998" alternately dominate the charts, firmly suppressing all old songs and new songs.
Cao Xuan's famous work "10,000 Reasons" is now on the verge of being squeezed out of the top 10.
It has been almost half a year since "Ten Thousand Reasons" was released. It has been firmly in the top 10 of major music charts for such a long time. It can be said to be a hit song.
If it weren't for the killer "Heart Is Too Soft" blocking the way, "10,000 Reasons" might even be the most popular pop song of 1997.
Another song by Cao Xuan, "Light Chaser", had previously fallen outside the 30th place, but with the hot replay of "Carry Love to the End", it became popular again.
Nowadays, most of them are wandering around in the 10th to 20th place. Occasionally, they can break into the top 10.
The results of "Countless Brothers" and "Light Chaser" are almost the same. It all depends on the popularity of "Water Margin", and the ranking will go up and down.
Cao Xuan now hopes that these songs can stay on the list for a while longer. It is best to wait until his new album is released and can still gain popularity.
………
Cao Xuan has been paying attention to the changes in the outside world, but the most important thing for him right now is recording a new album.
Along with producing, recording songs, and shooting MVs, Cao Xuan has invested all his wealth in it, and even borrowed some from friends.
Even the remuneration for Hu Jing and Zeng Li is only a deposit, and the balance has not been paid for the time being.
It can be said that the success or failure of the new album is directly related to Cao Xuan's development in the next two years.
Success, everyone is happy.
Failure and debt.
Cao Xuan even prepared for the worst, thinking that if it didn't work out, he would go to Xiangjiang to find that salty guy named Zuo to make a restricted movie.
After saving the first pot of gold, he came back to work behind the scenes, specializing in film and television production and celebrity management.
If you can't be the best actor or king, then you can become the godfather of the entertainment industry!
After finishing the chicken blood injection, Cao Xuan went back to recording songs honestly.
After all, there is no conflict between the godfather of the entertainment industry and the movie king. Only children make choices, while adults only want them all.
While Cao Xuan was recording the song, he watched Chen Hanzhu complete the post-production of the two MVs according to his requirements.
Compared with the original "Fairy Tale" MV, Cao Xuan personally feels that the quality of his version is better.
Apart from anything else, the original version of Guangliang is a pure singer, and his singing is speechless, but his acting skills can almost be evaluated with four words: "cannot bear to watch".
Except for the more vivid emotion when singing, during other performance parts, my face was paralyzed throughout.
90% of the credit for the MV being so highly rated lies in the plot and the song itself.
Cao Xuan dare not say how good his acting skills are, but after all, he is a professional actor who has been trained in CCTV dramas. Even the professor of Chinese drama recognized his talent.
His performance in the MV is undoubtedly better than Guangliang's.
Hu Jing's appearance is also higher than that of the original heroine. She is sweet, charming, and eye-catching. Even Cao Xuan himself found the intimate interaction between the male and female protagonists in the MV sweet.
"Dusk" is an original MV and cannot be compared with the original version, but Cao Xuan still thinks highly of it.
If the highlight of the "Fairy Tale" MV is the emotional interaction between the male and female protagonists, then "Dusk" is almost a dynamic portrait of Cao Xuan and Zeng Li.
Most of the shots in the MV show the good looks and charm of Cao Xuan and Zeng Li, with various medium shots, long shots, and close-ups.
One is handsome and attractive, while the other relies on his beauty to commit crimes.
Cao Xuan had just finished kissing himself and Hu Jing, and now he felt that Zeng Li was a perfect match for him.
Ho... bah!
………
On March 31, a certain little blue pill was officially launched on the market.
In the near future, this little blue pill will be popular all over the world, benefiting countless men and women and improving their quality of life.
At the same time, it has also brought some embarrassing troubles to countless people in China with the word "wei" in their names.
On the same day, Cao Xuan officially named his first album "Starry Stars".
Hopefully this album will help his career take off and shine.
After more than a month of recording, most of the songs for the new album "Starry Stars" have been recorded. It will take at most half a month to come up with the finished product and then record it.
Now, Cao Xuan has notified Warner to start preparations for production and release, and the promotion warm-up has started accordingly.
In order to make the album famous as soon as possible and increase album sales, Cao Xuan thought twice and came up with two title songs to list.
"Angel Wings"
"dusk"
Times are different, and Cao Xuan cannot guarantee that these two hit songs will still create brilliance. The bottom line he set for these two songs is——
At least one of the two songs has entered the top 10 of major charts.
As long as this qualifying line can be reached, even if Cao Xuan's new album does not make any money, he is still expected to make back his money.
Not to mention, Cao Xuan still has two hits and one king in his hand. He doesn't believe that he is as unlucky as Mr. Lu. A good card can make people fall in seconds.
What if all five songs really failed?
Cao Xuan felt that there was no need to delay these divine songs. He should bid farewell to the music scene as soon as possible and go to Xiangjiang to shoot restricted movies...
It’s just a 500 reward for thanking a passing Kamen Rider, and a 100 reward for Fusheng v.
