China Entertainment 1997

Cao Xuan finished all the performances five days later and left Korea. His son was very reluctant to leave before leaving. Cao Xuan promised him to come to Korea to accompany him when he is free in the first half of next year.

After leaving Korea, Cao Xuan no longer had so many worries and baggage, so he went into battle with ease and held consecutive concerts in Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other countries.

As the base camp, even though Cao Xuan has deliberately suppressed it, the average number of people attending concerts in East Asia so far has successfully exceeded 40,000+.

Especially in Singapore, because it is also a place where Cao Xuan has great influence, and with the help of the local government, Cao Xuan’s global farewell concert was held with the highest number of people in a single concert——

82,000 people!

This is only the number of people inside the venue. According to Singapore media reports, the concert was a sensation throughout the city. About 200,000 people gathered at the concert hall, blocking the large square and street outside the stadium.

After the concert, the crowd was not dispersed until nearly three o'clock in the morning, and Cao Xuan, who had been trapped for several hours, was able to return to the hotel to rest.

You know, Singapore’s total population is just over 5 million, which is almost 4% of the country’s population affected by a concert.

This incident aroused enthusiastic reports in the Asian media. Even though they were tired of talking about it, they were still surprised by Cao Xuan's terrifying influence.

Of course, the media and the outside world must have exaggerated statements.

No one can tell how many percent of these 200,000 people are fans of Cao Xuan, and how many percent are just here to join in the fun.

After all, Singapore is a country, just a city. Its area is about the same as that of the Magic City. It is normal to drive for hours to take a look at an event that "sensed the whole country".

But even so, as the initiator of this incident, Cao Xuan's appeal and popularity in Singapore are evident.

After several concerts, in addition to the enthusiastic fans, Cao Xuan's concerts have become celebrities and political shows as usual.

As early as the first stage of the European concert, Cao Xuan's concert had a large number of stars, celebrities and even foreign political officials.

The more famous one is former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who is also a die-hard fan of Cao Xuan in the political world. He has met Cao Xuan before and attended this concert several times. He even managed to get backstage to get a photo with Cao Xuan.

In addition to Blair, Britain's Prince Harry and his girlfriend also appeared at the concert.

In addition, a large number of former and current European ministers, ministers, mayors and other personnel appeared. Cao Xuan himself was also received by the King of Spain, the Prime Minister of Italy and the Prime Minister of Denmark during the concert or attended related activities.

In the second stage of the American concerts, there were relatively few politicians appearing.

In other words, there are quite a few, but Cao Xuan doesn't know them. The leaders in South America change too fast, and those who don't pay much attention can't really figure them out.

We have seen a few governors here in the United States, but the most famous one is that during a concert in New York, a Republican candidate with yellow hair came to try to gain popularity.

This guy will do anything to get votes.

He had been in love with Michael Jackson before, so that was all. The two were really friends, but he set his sights on Cao Xuan and Taylor, the master and apprentice, and praised them greatly, hoping to win over and please the fans.

Cao Xuan ignored the other party. It was not that he didn't have politician friends, but this person's identity was too sensitive and he was a dog-faced person. He was really not interested.

Moreover, the United States will become more and more confrontational in the future. Cao Xuan, a Chinese, is an outsider himself.

If you see that the situation is not right, you will return to your country to develop in the worst case. Anyway, if you are beaten to death and do not take sides, being targeted by the other party is a trivial matter. It is a big matter if it affects the domestic fundamentals.

As for the third stage, Cao Xuan started to be busy. In addition to Australia, which was better, he met many "big people" in the Middle East and Africa.

Especially the princes and chiefs I have seen in the Middle East, there are dozens if not three digits. I dream about all kinds of Arab robes at night.

After all, if he hadn't met so many rich people, he wouldn't have received those arrogant gifts.

And when the fourth stage comes to East Asia, it even begins to intensify.

Fortunately, South Korea, at least Cao Xuan has not met the female president, but starting from Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and other countries, meeting the head of state or the chief official of the city has become a regular concert program.

Even domestic netizens joked that those who knew Cao Xuan was going to a concert, but those who didn’t know thought he was on a diplomatic mission...

When politicians are like this, those celebrities are even more happy, and they will stick to Cao Xuan when they get the opportunity.

There are many photos or videos of Cao Xuan and East Asian celebrities appearing on the Internet. Cao Xuan in them looks friendly and smiling, but in fact, more than half of them Cao Xuan doesn't know who they are at all.

Especially in South Korea, because some male and female groups were invited to perform as assistants, and the costumes were somewhat similar, in the end except for a few people, it was impossible to tell who was who.

However, this did not affect the competition between these groups’ Korean networks and domestic fan networks.

Being able to take a photo with senior Cao Xuan/Big Brother is a worthy topic for their idol.

The male and female groups who were not invited to the concert were directly expelled from the stars, and the photo of their idol with Cao Xuan was judged even if Cao Xuan had a smile on his face.

This is not an exaggeration. Cao Xuan gave a few words of encouragement to Xiao Zhang, the only remaining Chinese member of EXO, and there were immediately several hot searches in Korea and China.

#Cao Xuan, Zhang Yixing#

#loyalty in exchange for the favor of seniors#

#The inheritance of two generations in the music industry#

It's hard to say that there is no deliberate marketing here, but we can also see the weight of Cao Xuan's words, which has a very high halo of support for these newcomers.

Interestingly, with the third son who has returned to China and Zhang Yixing who has returned to China to focus on development, EXO is very popular in China and has a huge number of fans.

In a previous interview, Wu Jing blurted out "Is it a boy or a girl", which caused a siege from EXO fans.

One thing to say, even if Wu Jing is one of Cao Xuan's own, he still feels that this guy is really looking for scolding.

You can disagree with handsome men, and you can even criticize the current abnormal aesthetics and even entertainment phenomena, but you can't say "is it a boy or a girl", which is obviously insulting.

That is to say, this boy band has a bad reputation among the public. Although Wu Jing was scolded, it did not cause public outrage. But try another group or give it a try in a few years?

Of course, Wu Jing didn't mean that at the time, but he just blurted out something and was caught making a fuss.

But sometimes, whether you mean it or not, you will be caught if you say something.

The same word "sissy" can be laughed at and cursed in 2015, but it must not be uttered by a public figure in 2022.

Because the word itself is derogatory and unfriendly to weak-looking boys and certain groups, the topic is quite sensitive.

Ordinary netizens don't care. Public figures can easily arouse public opinion by speaking casually. Wu Jing is living safely now, but in the future he might be dragged out and scolded because of old scores.

The entanglement between Wu Jing and EXO is just one of them. The reason why this group of people are not lovable is not only because they are not recognized by male audiences and the mainstream because of their appearance, but also because of the overbearing fans.

The group name EXO, according to the customary Chinese pronunciation, should be pronounced with all three letters, but the Korean pronunciation is XO, and only the last two letters are pronounced, hiding the pronunciation of E.

Many people don't know why and pronounce it according to normal habits. If they pronounce the name wrong, they will be corrected or even scolded by fans.

Some hosts did not do their homework well and were scolded for a few words. Many uninformed celebrities and even passers-by were also scolded, which aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

Cao Xuan is also one of them. He actually knows the correct pronunciation. He knew it when he was in Golden Finger.

At that time, "he" also pronounced EXO, but at that time there was a girl in the team who was a big fan. Whenever she heard that she was pronouncing it wrong, she had to correct it.

"Cao Xuan" is not ungrateful. I did pronounce it wrong and corrected it. However, it is terrible to get used to it. Sometimes it forms a subconscious memory, and I accidentally pronounce it wrong again.

Every time at this time, the girl would always correct her again with a reproachful look on her face, or even complain.

As time went by, the girl's attitude became worse and worse, and "Cao Xuan" also felt that the fuss was being made out of a molehill, and even became rebellious. Even if he could pronounce it correctly, he had to pronounce it wrong.

Later, the girl resigned and left, but this habit remained. Even after Cao Xuan got the golden finger, he did not change it.

However, Cao Xuan has not been targeted by EXO fans in any way. Even if he pronounces it wrong, it seems that it will automatically become the correct pronunciation in their eyes.

A few people went to the comment section of Cao Xuan's social platform to correct them, and were even admonished by other fans.

This obvious bias or flattery was once ridiculed by passers-by, but it also showed Cao Xuan's status. Even this group of lawless boy band fans did not dare to offend him for fear of causing trouble for their rightful owner.

And if you get positive comments from Cao Xuan, you will beat gongs and drums, treating it as a milestone honor.

This group of idols is like this. In fact, many new singers and actors are like this too.

Especially during this farewell concert, the "Cao Xuan wave" swept the world. In addition, Cao Xuan, who was about to retire perfectly, had a lofty status and seemed to be on the verge of reaching the top and becoming a god in one fell swoop. Countless people were hyping the topic of "successor" , the encouragement and praise at this time are frighteningly valuable to the outside world.

This statement is not only recognized in China, but also many media in Asia, including Europe and the United States, also join in the fun.

It's just that Europe, America and Asia are not the same group of people. They all talk about their own affairs and don't interfere with each other.

Even in Asia, each country has its own successor to Cao Xuan, mainly China, Japan and South Korea, which have relatively developed entertainment industries.

In South Korea, Xiao Zhang, who was encouraged by Cao Xuan, is still not ranked. The most famous one is Quan Zhilong, who has become very popular in the past few years.

There are many successors in Japan, including new singers. There are also people who are almost the same generation as Cao Xuan, and there are even those who debuted earlier than Cao Xuan.

There are also many female singers, including famous queens Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada.

This is actually pure nonsense. Although these two are not as old as Cao Xuan, when Cao Xuan first broke out of Asia, he was not as popular as the two of them.

But there is no way. Who makes Cao Xuan's status too high? Even these two Japanese queens cannot compare. From the existence he looked up to back then, he became a candidate for successor.

Even the two parties involved had no objections, and even Hamasaki kept his attitude very low during the interview.

"Cao Xuanjun is a legend of Asian pop music. He has spread Asian sounds to the world. His ability and character are worth learning from. I am proud to be a contemporary of a superstar."

Needless to say, Ayumi Hamasaki's status in the Japanese music scene can even be described as the number one person at the moment.

She said these words herself, which also represents the attitude of the Japanese music industry towards Cao Xuan to a certain extent. I am truly impressed by this Asia's number one superstar in history.

However, I was impressed, but Cao Xuan did not recognize any of these successors. Instead, he invited a new singer for the first time——

Kenshi Yonezu!

Strictly speaking, this guy is no longer a newcomer. As early as 2009, he created and released songs on the Japanese Internet, which is somewhat similar to the path of Wugao in China.

The same people who gained their first wave of popularity through Internet fame, the same people who are known for their creative talents, the same people who independently produce and sell albums, the same people who do all the writing, composing, arranging, singing, performing, and mixing themselves.

It can't even be said that they are similar, it is simply the Japanese version of Wu Gao.

Before joining Universal Music in 2013, Kenshi Yonezu was already a well-known singer in Japan, but was not recognized by the mainstream music industry.

After joining the record company, he officially debuted with several singles and achieved good results. Especially in October this year, the new album released during the concert achieved the best results in his personal history and won the first place on the Japanese Oricon Album Chart. .

At this time, Kenshi Yonezu really attracted the attention of the entire Japanese music scene, which not only recognized his talent, but also recognized his brilliant achievements.

Just like Wu Gao before joining Fanxing, no matter how popular he is, in the minds of many people he is just an online singer, not worth mentioning.

But after joining the regular army, he was no longer a small hit or a flash in the pan. He immediately transformed and became the most outstanding new star in the music industry.

What is even more fortunate for Kenshi Yonezu is that not only did he prove himself this October, he was also personally invited by Cao Xuan to be a guest performer at the Tokyo concert.

Moreover, he participated in all four concerts in Japan. This is no longer an ordinary support, it simply puts the word "valued" on him.

This is an honor that many Japanese first-line singers can only dream of.

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer who had just entered the mainstream, immediately became Cao Xuan's favorite talented singer and his designated future successor.

Not only did he successfully break out in Japan, but many fans in Asia and even Europe and the United States knew about him.

Kenshi Yonezu was excited and grateful. He performed very hard and even treated Cao Xuan as a teacher in private.

Cao Xuan was also very kind to him and gave him some pointers. Doubts and problems regarding creation and music.

Although this person is a true genius, Cao Xuan has not been in vain for the past twenty years. Xiao Zhou, Wu Gao, and Taylor still provide guidance, as does Master Yonezu.

Later, a Japanese reporter learned from Kenshi Yonezu that he had been personally mentored by Cao Xuan and directly called him Cao Xuan's closed disciple. This forced a wave of popularity and gave Kenshi Yonezu some lingering shadow.

Of course, after he became famous again, part of his success was fed back to Cao Xuan.

In addition to Bole, Cao Xuan even had the aura of a famous teacher.

Outsiders don't know how much credit he has, but Taylor, Xiao Zhou, Gu Miaomiao, Zhang Jie, Wu Gao, Yonezu Kenshi and others have all received his guidance and guidance, and then they all achieved extraordinary results in the music industry.

Everyone naturally combined the two, and Cao Xuan also became famous again.

There are even some legends that have been passed down anecdotally, which once allowed Cao Xuan to single-handedly cultivate the future of the world's pop music scene.

But in fact, Cao Xuan just wanted to show off his presence in front of these future bosses, put on a show, and satisfy his own bad taste and some unspeakable vanity.

Kenshi Yonezu had no idea that the eyes of the teacher he admired and admired would show regret every time after he left.

If it weren't for Kenshi Yonezu's special musical style, which makes it easy to hear Japanese elements, then he would not only be a student of Cao Xuan, but a victim of being ripped off.

This is also a rare loss-making transaction for Cao Xuan.

Generally speaking, when Cao Xuan loves others so much, most of it is in a compensatory manner. Master Yonezu is purely a supporter, which makes Boss Cao a little uncomfortable...
