China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 133 2000 Was a Busy Year for Cao Xuan

The two masters and apprentices chatted in the study, and Li Xuejian also gave Cao Xuan a teacher apprentice ceremony that he had prepared long ago.

On one side are two thumb-sized Hetian jade seals, engraved with the words "Heaven rewards diligence".

This seal was given to Li Xuejian when he met a friend who was a movie fan when he went to Xinjiang to participate in a performance.

The material wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. Li Xuejian was reluctant to use it until he took back his apprentice, so he carved a seal as a gift to Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan was overwhelmed with flattery, wondering if the presents he brought were a bit light.

Cao Xuan also had contact with some jade and jewelry merchants when he was acting in a foreign business before. Although he was not proficient, he was not ignorant of it. As for the jade chapter that Li Xuejian gave him, it was probably no less than 20 outside.

Although Li Xuejian is a top actor in the mainland, most of the plays he acts in are films and TV productions produced by propaganda units at all levels. The salary is not high, and only a few commercial films and TV shows can get more.

For example, "Water Margin", Li Xuejian paid more than 30 yuan in filming for two full years.

The salary is not much, and Li Xuejian never accepts any commercial endorsements, and rarely accepts commercial performances. He usually participates in official performances or activities. Although there are remuneration fees, they are very small.

Therefore, among the top mainland actors, Li Xuejian's net worth is not the lowest, but it is definitely at a lower level.

Now a shot is 20 + Hetian Yuzhang.It can be said that he values ​​Cao Xuan as an apprentice very much.

Li Xuejian didn't take it seriously, and took Cao Xuan to dinner. In the living room, Li Xuejian's son Li Gen was watching TV.

The replay of last night's Spring Festival Gala was broadcasting on TV. Cao Xuan sang passionately on the stage. Li Gen, who was just in his early 10s, followed the singing and imitated the dancer's boxing.

Seeing his father and Cao Xuan coming out, Li Gen ran over excitedly: "Brother Xuan, why did you, my father's apprentice, go to the Spring Festival Gala, but my father couldn't?"

"Because your father doesn't want to go, he is too powerful, and he is afraid of stealing everyone's limelight, so let me, this apprentice, go out."

"Stop bragging, he doesn't really believe it anymore."

Li Xuejian rubbed his son's head, and took Cao Xuan to the dining table for dinner. Cao Xuan drove here, so he didn't drink, and poured a few drinks bought last night.

The master and apprentice chatted while eating, and Cao Xuan did not forget to take the time to praise the master's wife's craftsmanship, which made Yu Haidan smile.

Several people were eating, when the doorbell rang, Cao Xuan rushed to open the door, the people outside saw Cao Xuan froze for a moment, and looked up at the house number.

"Is this Li Xuejian's house?"

Cao Xuan looked familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while, but he hurriedly opened the door and invited him in.

"It's my master's house, please come in."

The visitor entered the door in a daze. Li Xuejian and Yu Haidan saw him and stood up to greet him.

"Old Guo, why are you here?"

When Li Xuejian mentioned Lao Guo, Cao Xuan finally remembered who this was.

Known as the "No. [-] Iron Army of Chinese TV", the head of the Air Force Drama Troupe, the producer and producer of TV dramas such as "The Story of the Cooking Class" and "Wulin Biography", and the first Golden Eagle TV Emperor Guo Xuxin.

No wonder it looks familiar, the book was almost hollowed out by director Zuo Da, Guo Tuan can't wait to transfer the bomber.

Huh?Who is Director Zuo...

Cao Xuan fell into a daze, and Guo Xuxin was also a little dazed, pointing at Cao Xuan, a little incredulous: "Is this the Cao Xuan from the Spring Festival Gala?"

Li Xuejian smiled reservedly, and said calmly: "Newly recruited apprentice, come to pay me New Year's greetings today."

Guo Xuxin didn't speak, but gave him a thumbs up.

It is not uncommon for actors of the older generation to accept apprentices, but they are all newcomers or well-known ones.

For someone like Li Xuejian who can take a Chinese-speaking king like Cao Xuan under his family, he can easily go to Versailles wherever he goes.

Afterwards, Li Xuejian introduced Guo Xuxin to Cao Xuan, mainly mentioning their friendship.

Li Xuejian had been in the air administration for ten years. The "X Incident" drama that became famous that year was staged in the air administration, including Yu Haidan, who was also an actor in the air administration. The two met and fell in love in the air administration.

Guo Xuxin and Li Xuejian have joined the group before and after, and they have been good friends with Wang Xueqi, Pu Cunxin, Bai Zhidi, the former chief prosecutor of "People's Righteousness", and others.

Later, Li Xuejian and Pu Cunxin were transferred from the air administration one after another. Li Xuejian was in the Central Experimental Theater, and Pu Cunxin went to his father's unit Renyi.

However, although the unit is separated, the relationship has not broken up, and several people still communicate frequently.

Guo Xuxin came here not only to reminisce about the old days, but also because the Air Force recently rehearsed a new drama and was preparing for its premiere.

Planning to find some people to help build momentum, Li Xuejian, who has come out of the Air Force, is naturally the best candidate.

The old unit had something to do, and Guo Xuxin, an old friend, invited him again. Li Xuejian naturally agreed, and Guo Tuan turned his attention to Cao Xuan, the popular king.

If the schedule is suitable, Cao Xuan doesn't mind selling his master's face, but there is a time conflict, so he can only regret to miss it.

Guo Xuxin didn't force it, and warmly invited Cao Xuan to go to the air administration to play when he had time. After all, in a sense, the air administration is Li Xuejian and Yu Haidan's "mother's home", and it can be regarded as half of Cao Xuan's teacher.

Cao Xuan is still very interested in the air politics with many stars, and he is even more interested in the TV series they produce.

"The Story of the Cooking Class" is needless to say, "Wulin Biography" can still copy Bodi.

Guo Tuan never thought that after changing the book, he would still not escape the fate of being plucked...

.........

Guo Xuxin didn't stay long at the master-student reunion, and left after talking. After he left, Li Xuejian asked Cao Xuan thoughtfully.

"Do you want to be affiliated with a unit? It is also convenient to evaluate the title, and with the protection of the unit, some people and things will be avoided."

Yu Haidan was also thinking about Cao Xuan's apprentice, and continued, "Your master is right. He has good contacts in the Air Force and the Experimental Drama Theater, and the Second Artillery and the General Political Department can also talk. With your current reputation, The special move is not difficult."

"Let's forget it. I have a lot of business in my hands, so I probably won't be able to get in."

If he was alone, Cao Xuan wouldn't mind getting a solid job, but he has such a big shop now, and many units have too many restrictions, and the two sides are prone to conflicts.

Not to mention that he is still thinking about three nights and three days, and his ideological and moral concepts are definitely unqualified, so he should be self-employed honestly.

Cao Xuan's reasons convinced Li Xuejian and his wife, although it was a pity, they did not persuade them again.

With the development and progress of the times, people at all levels of units frequently join the tide of going overseas. The "iron rice bowl" that countless people flocked to before is not popular now.

Cao Xuan stayed at Li Xuejian's house until the evening, and Li Xuejian and his wife even called Cao Shuangguo and his wife to pay New Year's greetings.

Cao Shuangguo knew that Cao Xuan worshiped a master, Song Dacheng from "Longing" and Song Jiang from "Water Margin".

In the hearts of Cao Shuangguo and his wife, Li Xuejian's reputation is much greater than that of Cao Xuan, and it is definitely worthwhile for Cao Xuan to worship this master.

Li Xuejian was born in 54 years, exactly the same age as Cao Shuangguo, Cao Shuangguo happened to be a daughter-in-law married at 20 years old, and Cao Xuan was born the next year.

The two of them calculated next month, Cao Shuangguo would become Big Brother Cao when he was a little older, and the two even made an appointment to take time out to drink together.

When Cao Xuan came home, Cao Shuangguo also praised him for being a good master, and told him to learn from Li Xuejian, remember the three festivals and two lives, and don't shorten the etiquette.

Cao Xuan should be, went back to the house to collect the jade badge that Li Xuejian gave him, and then texted Hu Jing and Zeng Li to announce the good news.

Both of them expressed their admiration at the same time. Li Xuejian can be regarded as the first rank among the top actors in the mainland. Many performances have been used as teaching materials in China Opera and Nortel.

Such a great god-level figure has become Master Cao Xuan, they are really envious, and at the same time feel happy for Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan brazenly stated that his master is their master, and everyone is a family, so there is no need to distinguish between inner and outer relatives.

However, what Cao Xuan was not sure about was whether Li Xuejian would expel Li Xuejian, a wicked disciple, from the sect if he knew that he had two apprentice daughters-in-law...

.........

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Cao Xuan returned to work and met the two at Fanxing Entertainment Company.

Ding Ying was once a top student in the director department of Nortel. After graduation, he moved to several film and television crews, and finally served as a co-producer in Shanying. He is a colleague of Kong Sheng and Hou Hongliang, who will establish [Noon Sunshine] in the future.

In fact, Cao Xuan's initial goal was Hou Hongliang, and he even wanted to poach Kong Sheng.

It's a pity that these two freshmen in Shanying are now the key supporters, and Fanxing, a grass-roots team, can't attract them.

Ding Ying's qualifications were lower than theirs, and he couldn't get a good project. In addition, Fanxing's salary was good, so he simply jumped ship, and brought two senior drama managers and artists.

Because of these three people, Cao Xuan almost offended his hometown TV station, and he agreed to two performances by Lu Provincial TV Station.

However, Ding Ying is also worth the price. He has been in the crew for many years, is well versed in the film and television production process, and has relevant production experience. He is a talent that is urgently needed by the stars.

Cao Xuan boldly delegated authority. As soon as Ding Ying came here, he immediately became the producer of "Journey to the West" and was fully responsible for the logistical work of the crew.

At the same time, Fanxing officially established the [Film and Television Production Department], and Cao Xuan personally managed it.

Chen Hanzhu, Ding Ying and some film and television behind-the-scenes personnel who have signed contracts all belong to this department.

In addition, those who participated in the release and publicity of the film and television in the later stage, including the person in charge of managing Fanxing investment and cooperation projects, are also temporarily in this department, and other arrangements will be made after the company's subsequent military expansion.

After the establishment of the [Film and Television Production Department], Fanxing's [Artist Agency Department] also went online, with Jiang Yue, the vice president, concurrently serving as the department head.

But this department sounds like a bluff, but Hu Jing is actually the only signed artist.

Fortunately, the boss Cao Xuan's commercial performances, signings, endorsements and other work are also under the management of the [Artist Agency Department], otherwise it will really be nothing.

At present, Fanxing only has these two subordinate departments. As for finance, personnel, security, administration and other positions, there are too few personnel, so they are all grouped together, and another vice president is in charge.

Of course, Cao Xuan, the boss, must know about some work matters related to sensitive units.

The other person besides Ding Ying is a music producer named Wei Xixi, whom Cao Xuan invited through Zhang Yadong.

Wei Xixi has participated in the album production of well-known singers in the Mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and other regions. He is proficient in arranging music.

That is to say, Cao Xuan's reputation as a creative talent is strong, so he was invited through Zhang Yadong.

The reason why Wei Xixi was invited was that Cao Xuan's schedule was too tight this year, and he didn't have much time to complete the album independently.

In addition, now that Cao Xuan has also completed the make-up lessons, he is not afraid of the test, so he hired a professional producer to help him arrange the music and accompaniment, which can save him a lot of time.

Cao Xuan predicts that "Young Bao Qingtian" will be able to finish filming in early March, and "Swordsman" will be in mid-to-late March, and filming should be possible in July-August.

At this point, the accompaniment should have been almost completed, and he can directly record the songs. If all goes well, the new album will be released in September to October.

At the same time, Cao Xuan will also prepare for his first concert tour. It is expected that there will be 2-3 shows in mainland China, 1 show in Taiwan Province, and 1 show in Singapore or Malaysia.

If the effect of the concert is good, the number of performances may be increased as appropriate.

It can be said that the year 2000 was a promising year for Cao Xuan, and it was also a very busy year...
