China Entertainment 1997

The National Games, the full name of the National Games, was held for the first time in 1959. The participating teams were from all provinces and regions in the country.

In terms of event influence, not to mention international events such as the Olympics, World Cup, and Winter Olympics, even intercontinental events such as the Asian Games and Asian Cup are stronger than the National Games.

But then again, although it is not as good as those events, it does not mean that the National Games is really equivalent to useless. After all, it is also a national professional sports meeting, and it still has some standards and influence.

For example, table tennis competitions, strictly speaking, are no less intense than the Olympic Games, and are also jokingly called the highest honor in table tennis online.

Winning an Olympic table tennis championship is awesome, but winning a national table tennis championship is truly awesome...

Of course, this is just a joke, but it also shows that the National Games is not without merit. It can be regarded as the highest level event in the domestic sports industry.

Especially after the Beijing Olympics last year, the hot sports atmosphere in the country has not dissipated. Therefore, this year's National Games can be regarded as the one with the highest attention in recent years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the highest ever.

After all, although the popularity of the previous few sessions was particularly popular, due to limited communication channels, its influence was basically limited to Gyeonggi and the sports circle, and its nationwide popularity was not particularly great.

Of course, Cao Xuan also has a small part of the credit for this.

Unlike the Olympic opening ceremony theme song, which is kept secret, the National Games released a promotional MV in early August because of the need for publicity. The song was "Love Each Other" written and sung by Cao Xuan himself.

This song was also the theme song of the National Games of Shandong Province in the original time and space, and is also known as the best theme song of the National Games in history.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that the 2009 Shandong Provincial National Games can be remembered by many people because of this song.

Because this song performed really well, it was also featured in the subsequent Spring Festival Gala and became popular all over the country, so much so that many people thought that this song was written for the Spring Festival Gala.

But things are different now. Boss Cao’s popularity is not something that can be overshadowed. Coupled with his outstanding performance in the Beijing Olympics, he successfully made this song popular.

At least people will remember that it was created for the National Games of Shandong Province.

October 16, the opening ceremony of the National Games

Similar to the opening ceremony of last year's Olympic Games, Cao Xuan himself also performed solo at the finale, which Cao Xuan has long been familiar with. Rehearsal is more about familiarity with the process and positioning.

In the afternoon, the last round of rehearsals ended and Cao Xuan returned to the dressing room. Zhang Chong and Zhu Jiang, together with the makeup artist, ordered six dishes and one soup.

Pork, braised chicken, nine-turn large intestine, double crispy fried in oil, fried tofu, fish slices and cabbage, and a spicy and sour pimple soup.

During the past few days of rehearsal, for Cao Xuan, the happiest thing was eating comfortably.

Because when they met at the Huabiao Awards some time ago, Jiang Wen felt that Cao Xuan's figure was too well-proportioned and strong. Huang Silang was a powerful landowner and did not need to be obese, but it always felt wrong if he was too strong, so he hoped that Cao Xuan could gain weight.

You don’t need too much, just 10 to 20 pounds. It will make you look a little richer and reduce your appearance and aggression a bit.

Cao Xuan's previous state was more like Zhang Mazi licking blood at the tip of a knife, rather than the pampered Mr. Huang.

So starting from August, Cao Xuan relaxed his taboos, greatly reduced his fitness frequency, and enjoyed delicious food happily and guilt-free every day. In just two months, he had gained more than ten kilograms of meat.

In the past few days since he came to Quancheng, Cao Xuan also experienced a wave of hometown dishes.

Many people say that the best Shandong cuisine chefs are in the capital, and there is some truth to this. Shandong cuisine can flourish because the major restaurants and royal chefs in the capital have contributed a lot and left a lot of inheritance.

But the local restaurants in Quancheng also have their own advantages. Folk cultural relics and the return of old master chefs have also given Quancheng’s catering scene something authentic.

At least some of the dishes that Cao Xuan and his colleagues asked about were no worse than what Cao Xuan had eaten at the top restaurants in the capital.

Especially on his first day in Quancheng, the organizing committee entertained him in a private restaurant. The two soup dishes, milk soup with pickles and hot and sour pimple soup, were so amazing that Cao Xuan ate them every day.

There is also a treasure restaurant that Zhang Chong asked a local to inquire about. It is not very famous, but the roasted meat is particularly suitable for Cao Xuan. He has eaten several meals in the past few days.

The barbecue in Quancheng is also good, but it is not convenient for Cao Xuan to go out, so he can only buy it and eat it in the hotel. Sometimes when he sees a group of shirtless people drinking and eating barbecue in the open air on the road, he can't help but feel a little envious.

Not only does Cao Xuan eat it himself, but he also posts poisons on Weibo late at night from time to time. While making comments about "harmony", it also drives a lot of meat and barbecue business...

The director of the opening ceremony of the National Games is Zhang Xiaohai, a backbone of CCTV. He has participated in the Spring Festival Gala and many large-scale gala events. He is the chief director of CCTV's telecast of the Beijing Olympics and this year's 60th anniversary military parade.

Cao Xuan and he are also acquaintances, having worked together in other activities before, but there are still many other teams who are not familiar with him.

For example, there was an assistant director from Lu Provincial TV Station. He was afraid that Cao Xuan would be nervous, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to sort out and comfort Cao Xuan.

Zhang Xiaohai scratched his head and said, "I don't think so. Cao Xuan looked very relaxed during the rehearsal."

"Rehearsal and live broadcast are two different things. His show is the highlight and there is no room for any mistakes."

The assistant director was stubborn, and Zhang Xiaohai also knew that he was there for the good of the opening ceremony, so he went alone.

So, I thought about a lot of ideas and prepared to give Cao Xuan some chicken soup. When I opened the door, I saw that Cao Xuan was eating braised chicken and watching "Wulin Gaiden".

"Director Zhuang, have you eaten? Want some?"

The assistant director followed Cao Xuan and sat down in a daze. He ate two pieces of meat and a small bowl of hot and sour soup. He was eighty percent full before reporting to the director with a bloated stomach.

Zhang Xiaohai also curiously asked: "How is it? Is Cao Xuan nervous?"

The assistant director had a complicated expression: "I'm not as calm as him at home."

"Ha ha."

Zhang Xiaohai patted him on the shoulder: "My name as a superstar is not for nothing. You will understand if you get in touch with him a few times in the future."

Everyone knows Cao Xuan's resume. The assistant director also has too little contact with similar important activities. He is cautious in everything and can't help but assume the role of the new people he met before.

My original intention was good, but this time I encountered a max-level account and was immediately shown off.

However, his trip was not in vain. After his interruption, Cao Xuan became more serious. After eating half full, he took a nap to conserve his energy and energy, then put on his makeup and quietly waited for the evening performance.

At 8 p.m., the opening ceremony of the National Games officially began.

I don’t know if it was inspired by the Beijing Olympics. The Shandong Province Olympics also used a lot of LED technology, and the theme of "One Mountain, One Water, One Saint" has a strong cultural atmosphere and heritage, and the effect is very good.

Personally speaking, Cao Xuan really felt that this opening ceremony was done well.

Although it is not as good as the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, it is still the runner-up in the domestic opening ceremony he has seen.

In the Beijing Olympics, the program comes first, and finally the athletes enter the venue to take the oath, while the Shandong National Games has the athletes enter first, followed by the opening ceremony's cultural program.

Cao Xuan is not the only song program, there have been other programs such as Wei Wei and Lei Yan singing the National Games anthem "A Wonderful Together", children's chorus and other programs.

But Cao Xuan is the finale.

When the previous program ended, tens of thousands of actors and actresses gathered around the giant bowl in the center of the Olympic Stadium.

The prelude to the music "Love Each Other" sounded, and Cao Xuan appeared alone under the giant bowl, looking very small.

But there is no need to worry about not being able to see him. Almost at the same time, Cao Xuan's figure appeared on the screen of the giant bowl, and a clear and cheerful song also started.

"The height of Yangtai Mountain passes through the time and space tunnel

In the arms of heaven

Young heartbeats, synchronized with pride

The smile of the sage in the clouds

…”

What many people don't know is that there are two versions of "Love".

One is the Shandong Province National Games version, which contains a lot of Shandong Province National Games elements, and the other version is the 2010 Spring Festival Gala, which is also the most widely circulated version in later generations. The two songs have the same melody, but the lyrics have been changed a lot.

The version Cao Xuan sings now is of course the first version, with sophisticated lyrics, and the quality is even higher than the Spring Festival Gala version, but the latter is more pyrotechnics.

No matter which version, the melody and chorus don't change much.

This song is not only full of rhythmic dynamics, fashionable and lively, but also has a little bit of local elements of Yimeng minor tune, and is extremely emotional and popular.

"The world loves each other and

Traveling thousands of miles away, the heart forms its own vein

Tonight when thousands of houses are lit up

Perhaps looking through the window at the beautiful scene in my dream is here

…”

During the chorus stage, Cao Xuan walked from under the giant bowl, along the lifting mechanism inside, to the platform in the middle of the giant bowl, singing to his heart's content, and there was joy inside and outside the venue.

The official version of the song "Love Each Other" is only 4 minutes and less than 5 minutes long, but Cao Xuan had to sing it for 8 minutes in one breath.

The first one is the formal performance, and the second one is the background sound of the host's speech at the end of the opening ceremony. Just "La La La" was sung for more than one minute.

But for Cao Xuan, who had held a concert for several hours, it was just a drizzle. After leaving the stage, his face was not red and he was out of breath, and he even wanted to go up and perform again.

The next day, the opening ceremony of the National Games also received some news coverage, and Cao Xuan, who was in charge of traffic, was the top priority.

"Love Each Other" became even more popular because of this.

This song is inherently a lovable melody, and it is easy to spread. It was not able to break out of the music scene completely due to publicity. Now it has become popular through the opening ceremony of the National Games, and its momentum has directly overshadowed Cao Xuan's previous new songs. "Wishful".

Cao Xuan also received a call from the Spring Festival Gala program team, hoping to get the authorization for this song to be used in this year's Spring Festival Gala program.

Cao Xuan was very cheerful this time, and even took the initiative to help change the lyrics, and suggested that the song be changed from a solo to a chorus, and then he slipped Gu Miaomiao into it.

The Spring Festival Gala program team also urged Cao Xuan to submit this year's Spring Festival Gala program as soon as possible, and said that they had arranged a surprise for him.

This year is Cao Xuan's last Spring Festival Gala. This has been discussed with CCTV and the program team before. The director team and CCTV leaders have talked to Cao Xuan several times about this, but Cao Xuan is determined and will not change.

As the final performance of his twelve-year Spring Festival Gala career, Cao Xuan was very hesitant about the last Spring Festival Gala program and had already overturned several plans.

At this time in previous years, Cao Xuan had already submitted the program for review. If there were no problems, he would wait for the last two rounds of rehearsals. The minimum time would be decided, and he would start recording demos when he had time.

Only this year, it's already mid-October, and Cao Xuan doesn't even have a clue what song to sing.

Fortunately, there are still a few months left, and Cao Xuan can slowly think about the last performance. He does not seek to be a classic, but he also hopes to have a successful ending.

After casually talking to the director, Cao Xuan was quite curious about the surprise in his mouth.

Is it possible to issue an honorable retirement certificate?

It would be best if it is a trophy, there is still enough space in the glass cabinet at home...

In addition to the popularity of the song "Love Each Other", Cao Xuan has repeatedly attended important national events and even assumed important responsibilities many times, making his fans proud.

Some die-hard fans have even cut out videos and photos of Cao Xuan's performance at important legal domestic events since his debut. The dazzling array of honors and classic shots are so revealing that he is so awesome.

To paraphrase what Weibo has praised and praised: "If you don't know what a national treasure singer is, after watching this video, you will no longer have any doubts about Cao Xuan."

This is meant to be an exaggeration, but after watching the video, it will be difficult for anyone to find a strong argument to refute it.

Cao Xuan even changed his account to like this comment.

It is a pity that Weibo does not have the function of recharging membership, otherwise Boss Cao would directly recharge this netizen’s VIP status for 10 years.

………

"Let the Bullets Fly" will be released on October 25th, and Cao Xuan has about 10 days to rush to the United States to promote the new album.

So after the opening ceremony, Cao Xuan set off from Quancheng almost non-stop and took a private plane straight to Los Angeles.

When Cao Xuan landed in Los Angeles, he rested for a few hours and saw the news about the Golden Rooster Awards when he woke up.

On October 17, the 27th Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was held in Nan City, Gan Province.

"Assembly" and "Mei Lanfang" both won [Best Film].

Feng Pants reconciled with the Golden Rooster Awards and won the [Best Director] for "Assembly", becoming the biggest behind-the-scenes winner of this year's Golden Rooster Awards.

As for the Best Actor and Best Actress, they once again opened a double-yolked egg together.

Wu Gang, one of the Five Tigers in People's Arts and the actor of Li Dakang in "The People's Righteousness", won the best actor title for the first time with "Iron Man".

Huang Bo, who had repeatedly failed in "Happy Family" before, finally became proud with "Bullfighting" and defeated his enemy Zhang Hanyu in "Assembly" and won the Best Actor Award.

Cao Xuan didn't like to be in charge, but Huang Bo did have an old friendship with him. The first time he acted was when he was a director.

In this "Bullfighting", Guan Jingqing valued Huang Bo's acting skills and reputation, and Huang Bo was willing to help this former "Bo Le". Cao Xuan was in charge of heaven and earth, and could not care about other people's personal relationships.

Fortunately, the films in Guan Jie were quite good and were of great benefit to Huang Bo's career, so Cao Xuan had no reason to stop them.

It just so happened that Fanxing helped Huang Bo develop commercial films, took care of them and supplemented the weak points of literary films, and saved Cao Xuan trouble.

In any case, Huang Bo is the third artist after Cao Xuan and Hu Jing to win the authoritative award of Best Actor and Best Actress.

It's not easy, it's really not easy, especially for Huang Bo himself.

When he first joined Fanxing in 2004, he never imagined that five years later he would become the Golden Rooster Best Actor, star in many commercial and literary films, and become a popular first-line movie star.

The official Weibo of Fanxing Company posted the good news and was considering hosting a celebration banquet for him.

Things are rare and precious, and there is no shortage of top stars among the stars. Commercial film and television achievements abound, but only in terms of authoritative awards, artists, except for Cao Xuan and Hu Jing, have received very little. This time there is a new Golden Rooster Best Actor, who is indeed worthy Celebrate.

Huang Bo won the award, which is good news for Cao Xuan, but the other news is hard to say "good".

Zhou Gongzi won the Golden Rooster Best Actress for "Li Mi's Conjecture" and Jiang Wenli for "The Beginning of Spring".

"If Love" Golden Horse + Golden Statue, "Li Mi's Conjecture" Golden Rooster, Zhou Gongzi successfully achieved three Chinese-language Best Actress Awards, and was also the first actor in the Chinese-language film industry to win three gold medals.

Although Cao Xuan is still expected to become the first three-gold actor, his first blood as an actor is gone.

There was some disappointment, but Cao Xuan still sent a congratulatory message to Mr. Zhou, and also reposted the congratulations to Mr. Zhou on Weibo, congratulating him publicly.

The media is also very excited. There is already a three-gold best actor. Whether Cao Xuan can become a three-gold best actor depends on Cao Xuan's golden horse at the end of the year.

Back then, Cao Xuan and Zhou Gongzi won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards in the same year, and now they may also win three gold medals in the same year. It is definitely a legend in the film industry.

Even though the two have stated many times that they are just good friends, everyone can't help but think about the two people who have such a "tacit understanding", and all kinds of jokes are endless.

A scandal-ridden love prodigal, a beautiful lady who has gone through many ups and downs.

The Queen of Reiki has many interpretations, and she truly only waits for Cao.

She is the popular king and has countless love songs, all of which are sung by her.

You chase, she flees, a piece of unparalleled sadomasochism in the entertainment industry, it is difficult to paint the skin but the heart, the evil fate of three golds is the true love!

Cao Xuan: "???"

What kind of garbage third-rate romance novel plot is there? Why don’t you sing about the King’s wife running around with the ball, and how the father and son will recognize each other a few years later?

Uh, it seems that this is really the case...

A lawyer's letter is required!

Slander, this is a slander against an upright young man!

However, no matter how angry Cao Tianwang is, the outside world is indeed very happy with CP. Many people are looking forward to Cao Xuan and Zhou Gongzi working together again to play a real couple's rivalry.

Cao Xuan actually has a lot of CPs, especially in many TV series he filmed in his early years. Female protagonists such as Chu Chu, Ren Yingying, Bai Xiuzhu, Leng Qingqiu, and Zhao Min are the first generation CPs that many people admire.

But to say that Cao Xuan's biggest CP is the Empress of the East Palace.

The main reason is that the two of them have collaborated a lot, especially in "When Men Are in Love" and "Painted Skin", both of which are classic couples. In addition, there are various tacit understandings in reality, and there are many CP fans.

However, in the past two years, because the two have top-notch film careers and are both male and female actors born in the 1970s, coupled with their relatively "similar" emotional reputations and excellent acting skills, more and more people are knocking him and Mr. Zhou. I hope The call for their cooperation is strong.

Not to mention, Cao Xuan still has such a project in his hands, and the first thing he thinks about is Mr. Zhou.

If this project only has an idea now, it is very early to take shape, and there is plenty of time to think about it slowly.

Putting domestic matters aside for the time being, Cao Xuan took the time to promote his new album "Qing".

As early as September, a song from the album, "Hello", began to be officially released to hit the charts.

As Cao Xuan's new album released three years after his "Legend" album, this song received a lot of attention as soon as it was released.

Nowadays, Cao Xuan no longer needs to go to various radio stations as he did in the past, and does not need Warner to pay public relations fees. Various radio stations and media will automatically pursue his new album as a hot spot.

As soon as the song "Hello" was released online, reviews from major radio stations and musicians came as promised, and with the help of Warner, it directly received top publicity resources.

However, it is a pity that this song still failed to achieve the achievement of the original time and space, ranking first on the Billboard singles chart in its first week.

It's not that "Hello" is not strong, but it has encountered a strong enemy.

The popular American queen Britney Spears released her personal music single "3" on September 29, which ranked first in the first week.

Britney's career development in the past two years has not been very smooth, but this year has ushered in a small explosion. Before this song this year, she already had a Billboard No. 1 single, which is her second this year. head.

In terms of musical achievements, it is difficult for Britney to be compared with Miss Niu, Madonna, etc., but in terms of popularity, in the past ten years of the new century, especially in North America, Britney is unique.

As mentioned before, Yuanshimen crawled search websites such as Google to analyze the monthly global Internet searches for singers.

Britney never fell out of the top three from 2000 to 2010, and remained at the top all year round.

Aside from the death of Michael Jackson in the North American music scene this year, the biggest thing that happened was Lady Gaga’s popularity.

But in the second half of the year, Britney came out and quickly stole the limelight, maintaining her status as the most popular diva in the United States.

By the way, Cao Xuan was also cheated.

Because of Britney's single, "Hello" ranked second on the Billboard singles chart in its first week, just one step away from being ranked first.

Cao Xuan has had 8 songs reach the top of the Billboard singles chart before, but he has never been crowned champion. This time it was originally a good opportunity, but it was a pity that it fell short.

However, the consolation is that in the second week of "Hello" being on the list, it overturned Britney and won the No. 1 spot on the Billboard singles chart.

After all, Britney is a popular queen, but Cao Xuan is not bad either. Even in terms of record on Billboard, the two Britneys put together are not enough for him.

Billboard daddy is no joke!

Even this incident didn't cause much of a sensation in the United States. Cao Xuan topped the Billboard singles chart, and everyone seemed used to it, as if this incident was normal.

I was really made sick by the fact that "Legend" had five number one singles in one album...
