China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 134 The new album "Bright Stars", ten hit songs want to be gods

Cao Xuan on Ding Ying's side didn't have anything to say, they were all familiar with it, and the pre-production of "Journey to the West" was almost done. After he took over, he would immediately launch it in Qin Province.

Six teachers did not invite after all.

There is no way, "Journey to the West Continued" was broadcast in January, when he was most popular, the commercial performance of the program received a soft deal.

80 households began to think it was too low, Fanxing's 50 budget naturally fell apart.

However, Ding Jian has not lost contact with him. There is no need to worry about the quality of the performance, but the effect of future releases will be worse.

In addition, Cao Xuan also "wrote" two songs for "Journey to the West", which are still the original opening and ending songs "I want to become a fairy" and "Lovesickness".

These two songs were composed by well-known musicians Sanbao and Zhao Xiaoyuan, but now that Cao Xuan is there, there is no need to invite others to read them.

These two songs can be regarded as high-quality goods, so many people say that "Journey to the West" has a third-rate director, second-rate actors, first-rate plot and top-notch music.

Let’s not talk about the reputation, but it can be regarded as a side proof of the quality of these two songs.

Although Cao Xuan wrote the song, he didn't sing it himself. He invited the two singers of the ending song of CCTV's "Water Margin".

When I went home to pay New Year's greetings, Cao Xuan specially said hello, and both of them took it out of face. Liu Huan personally acted as the producer, and Wei Xixi would also help out later.

Cao Xuan was very relieved about these two songs.

Needless to say, Liu Huan is the one who performed well in the original version. Although the other one comes from folk songs, he is a serious national team.

"Journey to the West" doesn't need Cao Xuan to worry about it, but he can't take the new album as a small matter.

The third album is the last of Cao Xuan's Fanxing album trilogy, and he named it "Bright Stars".

If the first "Starry Stars" was a small trial, the stars were just emerging, and the second "Starry Stars" began to bloom Cao Xuan's own light.

Now it's the third "Bright Stars", Cao Xuan, who has successfully ascended to the throne of Heavenly King, is going to be gorgeous and dazzle the entire Chinese music scene.

Become famous - climb to the top - become a god

Cao Xuan's first two steps have been achieved, and now whether he can leave an "Era of Cao Xuan" in the Chinese music scene depends on this album.

In order to ensure the quality of the arrangement of the album, Cao Xuan and Wei Xixi actually chatted for a long time before this.

This meeting, Cao Xuan and Wei Xixi also made a certain production plan for each song of the album.

At that time, when Wei was arranging the music, Cao Xuan would also control it remotely at any time. This must be communicated in advance, because there are too many examples of singers and music producers breaking up due to differences in album production.

But Cao Xuan is okay, because he wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and the quality of the first two albums is here, Wei Xixi will fully respect his opinion.

Cao Xuan specially rented Wei Xixi a luxury recording studio in Baihua Recording Studio for a long time. The musicians and sound engineer have also been contacted.

In addition, if Wei Xixi has any other needs, Cao Xuan and Warner will do their best to meet them.

It can be said that this treatment and configuration can not be said to be the first in the industry, but it is definitely considered the top.

Even Wei Xixi himself felt that he had never fought such a rich battle in his life.

But what excites him more is not the hardware and treatment, but Cao Xuan's new album has come up with ten high-quality songs.

The first song, "Yellow Race"

The songs that Cao Xuan sang in the Spring Festival Gala were included in the new album of the second year as usual.

This song doesn't need too much introduction. Chef Xie's masterpiece is now popular all over the country because of Cao Xuan's amazing performance in the Spring Festival Gala. It can even be regarded as the most famous song in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

According to reliable sources, this song is expected to win the second prize in the song and dance category of the Spring Festival Gala. As for the first prize, it will be awarded to the twin sisters in the military parade.

This is also more in line with some official awards rules, the main theme is given priority, even if the main theme is not considered, the qualifications of actors and other aspects may also be considered.

Cao Xuan is already very satisfied to win the second prize in the song and dance category this year. If it weren't for the good performance and the good meaning of the lyrics, he probably wouldn't have won the prize.

It's not that he slandered CCTV, last year "Gong Xi Fa Cai" was so popular, second only to "Go Home and Watch".

But because Cao Xuan attended the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and because he didn’t participate in the Lantern Festival Gala, he didn’t even get a third prize, and even the media couldn’t stand it, so he called out a few grievances for Cao Xuan.

From then on, Cao Xuan understood more profoundly that awards in the entertainment industry are not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world...

The second song, "Fireworks Are Cold"

The masterpiece of Chinese style is taken from a story in "Luoyang Jialan Ji". The story sublimates this song, and it is also sublimated because of this song.

Among Jay Chou's Chinese style songs, Cao Xuan likes this one the most, even better than the most famous "Blue and White Porcelain", so he copied it.

It is worth mentioning that in the future there will be another popular song "Sorrow from People", the style of which is very similar.

"Tailor" still produced a representative of the ancient style, let alone the original version.

The previous "Don't Say Heroes" caused a certain shock in the music world, and now "Fireworks are Easy to be Cold" is released, which is expected to make him Cao Xuan completely confirm the title of "the pioneer of Chinese style".

The third song, "Jiangnan"

Singapore Guo Donglin became famous, one of the most popular songs in 2004, if there is no Jay Chou who is soaring, and the song "Mouse Loves Rice" that kills everything, one of them can even be removed.

With this song, Lin Junjie became popular all over the country and became the little king of Chinese music.

Xiao Zhou copied it, Xie Feng was almost bald by Cao Xuan, now it's JJ's turn.

Cao Daguan knows better than anyone else that "rain and dew are all wet"......

The fourth song, "Dark Fragrance"

This song hardly needs too much introduction. The theme song of "The Family of Gold Fans" is a model of one person, one song in the Chinese music scene.

Sha Baoliang has lived his whole life relying on this song.

To be honest, Cao Xuan was a little embarrassed for copying this song, after all, it was equivalent to digging out his job, but if he can't stand this song, it's really good, so he can only enjoy it.

The fifth song, "Absolutely Infatuated"

One of the top ten popular hits in 2003, KTV's long-term dominance of the charts.

How can I describe how popular this song was at the time, the radio station played it on an endless loop, and it was terrible to hear it in the streets and alleys.

Known as the must-sing spare tire Divine Comedy, the original singer Li Shengjie was even named "King of Dog Licking", comparable to "God of War Under the Car" Adu.

Cao Xuan has also sung several bitter love songs or spare tire Divine Comedy, and many film critics have complained that Cao Xuan's singing of these songs is not true at all.

With such a handsome face, the girl had no choice but to jump up, she was not willing to break up with him, if Zhang Yu or Ren Xianqi sang it, it would be the same.

Zhang Yu:? ? ?
Ren Xianqi:? ? ?

The sixth song, "Blue Lotus"

The pinnacle of light rock in the Chinese music scene, of course, some people think that this song is not rock.

But no one can clearly define the definition of rock and roll. Anyway, in Cao Xuan's heart, "Blue Lotus" is rock and roll.

Cao Xuan is not an experienced rock fan, but whoever plays music has no sense of rock and roll. When he was young and frivolous, he also yelled "Broad Sea and Sky" and "Land of Shame" on the playground with his classmates.

However, Cao Xuan's favorite rock style is the lyrical light rock like "Blue Lotus", which can slowly bring you into a kind of soul resonance.

The seventh song "Stubborn"

The masterpiece of Mayday, inspirational divine comedy, must-have track for countless college entrance examination playlists.

Inspirational songs have always been the repertoire of Cao Xuan's albums, the first one has "Running", the second one has "First Dream", and this song "Stubborn"

Cao Xuan can definitely be called a big producer of class songs, sending away wave after wave of students.

The eighth, "Little Love Song"

Sodagreen's representative work is different from most sad or lyrical love songs. This song has a very fresh feeling, soft, clean and pure.

This song, like the previous "Stubborn" and "Jiangnan", is mainly aimed at the student market.

The group of rising stars in Taiwan is about to rise, and the student group will be the top priority in the future music competition.

The market is right here, if you don't occupy them, you can occupy them, so Cao Xuan has always attached great importance to the student group, as long as he keeps this territory, he will not slip from the top.

No. [-], "The Wind Rises"

It can almost be regarded as the most popular song in 2017 and 2018. It is also rarely bombarded by crazy short videos, but there are no bad street songs. The lyrics and music are excellent, ethereal and pure, and have a very high appeal.

Frankly speaking, some of the high-quality songs of later generations have been brought into today's music scene, not to mention attracting trends, but they are definitely eye-catching and novel.

Previously, Cao Xuan's "Light Chaser" and "Not Calling a Man" may not be particularly influential, but they are very popular with some young fans, and there are many diehard fans.

It is also worth mentioning that the accompaniment of this song is a Japanese song, and later refilled the lyrics in Mandarin, but now there are no two songs, and Cao Xuan single-handedly "original".

No. [-], "Ten Years"

Chen Yixun's masterpiece, the king of the Chinese music scene in 2003, the No. 1 must-singer in KTV for countless people, the generation born in the [-]s and [-]s may not dare to say that they can sing, but there are definitely very few who have never heard of it.

The influence of this song is even stronger than that of "Fairy Tale", it is truly a king bomb song.

And the most important thing is that this song was not only popular at the time, but has been popular all the time. It is so popular that countless people are still listening to it after 2020, and then they sigh with emotion what is called "I don't know what the song is when I first hear it, but I am already in the song when I hear it again".

In fact, this song also has a predecessor called "Next Year Today", which was later adapted into the Mandarin version as "Ten Years".

However, this song was only released in 2002. Like "The Wind Rises", Cao Xuan didn't have to worry about it, and he "created" boldly.

The above 10 songs in the album "Bright Stars" include Chinese style, lyric, rock and other elements, with diversified styles, and at the same time have a brand-new and trend-setting quality, and the music aesthetic connotation is enough. Needless to say, the popularity of singing is the first hit. .

It can be said that so many high-quality songs are stuffed into the same album, and some songs may even be sacrificed, failing to achieve the achievements of the original time and space, somewhat suspected of "cannon hitting mosquitoes".

But Cao Xuan also went all out, since he wanted to become a god, then don't be stingy, just sweep the slaughter list in one go, only then can he have the invincible momentum to reach the top of the gods and dominate the singing world.

The sooner we settle the domestic music scene, we can rush to Asia as soon as possible, and even enter the international music scene.

Mr. Cao's English can't be reviewed in vain...
