Chapter 153 The golden age of Chinese music has kicked off

Beijing, 【Fly on Grass】private restaurant

Cao Xuan hurried into the store with Zhu Jiang, and the store manager came to greet him. He found out where the box was and hurried over.

A new waiter saw the two of them, and excitedly whispered to the old waiter next to him: "Sister Wen, is it really Cao Xuan, is he really the boss of our shop?"

"That's still false."

Sister Wen has been used to this for a long time. All new employees in the store, especially girls, basically have to come here once.

Not to mention them, even she herself was excited for a long time when she first came, but after a long time, she gradually calmed down.

The new waiter got an affirmative answer, and immediately fell into a state of intoxication and nympho.

"Ah, I like his songs the most. His posters are all over the bed. I didn't expect to see a real person today. Sister Wen, can I ask him for an autograph?"

"sure."

Sister Wen nodded and said with a smile: "The boss is very nice. The employees or customers in our store will be satisfied if they ask him to sign, but you have to have a wink. If he is fine, go to ask for it. Otherwise, the boss is fine. The store manager will see it." Cursing."

After finishing speaking, she added another sentence: Xiao Liu, my sister reminds you, the store manager also said before that we work here, the wages are much higher than other stores, and the work is easy. Red envelope.

But if you want to grow up, you must be strict with your mouth. Whoever you meet and what you hear are all rotten in your stomach. Otherwise, if you are found out, you will not only be fired, but you will also be held accountable.

"I know."

Xiao Liu nodded nervously, Sister Wen smiled and comforted: "You don't have to be afraid, I have been here for so long, and I haven't encountered anything worth keeping secret. The store has always emphasized that it is just to prevent problems before they happen. "

Sister Wen's relief made Xiao Liu heave a sigh of relief, and then she became active again.

"Sister Wen, when will the boss come out, can I take a photo with him?"

"All you need is a camera."

"Ah, forget it, even if I can borrow it, I can't stop him."

"Just take it when you see it. The signature is also good. That's enough. The north box has been withdrawn. Come with me to tidy up the room."

After they cleaned the whole room of the private room to look brand new, the door of Cao Xuan's private room opened, and Cao Xuan personally sent a few guests out, chatting as they walked.

"Minister Song, thanks to your help and your help this time, thank you very much."

"Needless to say, the quality of your TV drama itself is good, so let's send it here, and let your company come over to sign the contract directly later."

"Thank you very much, I will arrange it when I get back."

"Well, the Mid-Autumn Festival party that Director Sun asked me about..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely be there."

Cao Xuan sent Minister Song to the car, turned his head to look at Ding Ying and Jiang Yue who came out beside him, and clapped his hands happily.

"You're done!"

Jiang Yue and the two were also very happy: "12 episodes, a total of 300 million, Beijing and Taiwan are still rich."

"The capital of Beijing and Taiwan is 300 million, plus the 240 million that Qin Province managed to sell, and Lu Province will have to sell at least 260 million. We will get back the cost of the first round of "Journey to the West"."

This price is better than what Cao Xuan expected in advance. Cao Xuan is looking forward to the second round and pre-roll advertising revenue of "Journey to the West" after the first round of ratings.

Ding Ying is the producer, and he knew the difficulty of distribution, and he was also a little emotional when he was happy: "It means that the boss has a lot of face, and he promised to go out for several performances, otherwise the show would not sell so easily."

"It's not necessarily true. The current TV drama production cannot supply the market for TV stations. As long as the price is right, it's easy to sell."

Cao Xuan knew it well. Although he had contributed to the distribution, the quality of "Journey to the West" was really good, and the market environment was also the reason.

Of course, without Cao Xuan, even if it could be sold, the price would not be so high, and there would be no such big companies as Luxingtai and Jingtai.

So Cao Xuan's contribution is not small, but Cao Xuan has nothing to be proud of.

As the boss, he hoped that he would not need to worry about Fanxing's distribution in the future, and that the TV station could grab Fanxing's own name alone.

Cao Xuan was busy talking about things just now, and Cao Xuan didn't eat much. Many dishes on the table remained unchanged. He asked the kitchen to reheat a few dishes, and called Shang Zhujiang to eat.

During the period, the waiter Xiao Liu boldly came over to ask for an autograph, and Cao Xuan readily agreed, so happy that Xiao Liu walked out of the box dazedly holding the autograph.

While eating, Cao Xuan also explained the release of "Journey to the West".

The premiere time has basically been set. It will be in late October, and the specific date needs to be negotiated with the three TV stations.

After all, it was a low-budget drama, the TV station didn't pay enough attention to it, and Fanxing didn't have much publicity budget, but it still won two opportunities for variety shows and certain media resources for the crew.

Fan Xing wants to contact the crew, it is best to invite more main creators to participate, especially popular actors like Huang Haibin and Ren Quan, which will help in publicity and exposure.

Speaking of publicity, "Youth Bao Qingtian" has been confirmed to premiere on September 9th on Modu Channel and Beijing TV Station.

Cao Xuan doesn't care about Jade TV, but these two TV stations still have to run publicity.

With Cao Xuan and Chen Daoming starring, "Youth Bao Qingtian" is not weak, and the TV station also attaches great importance to it, arranging a lot of variety shows and promotional activities.

Fortunately, Cao Xuan's songs are almost recorded, and half of the publicity is in the capital, otherwise the release of "Bright Stars" may be delayed.

What makes Cao Xuan worry now is the MV shooting, if he shoots all 10 songs of the album by himself, it will be enough for a month, so this time Cao Xuan just waits for someone to shoot the MV.

He himself only participated in two of them specifically, and the rest of the songs were sung on a curtain or scenery, and then edited and inserted into the MV, which can be done in a day or two.

The two MVs that Cao Xuan personally participated in are the first title song "Ten Years" and the story-telling "Fireworks Are Cold".

The MV heroine Cao Xuan chose Zeng Li and Hu Jing willfully. Although Zeng Li was involved in scandals before, since he said he would let them be his MV queen heroines, he would do what he said.

Or he just sings, doesn't personally participate in the MV plot, and appears as a bystander, but if he plays the male lead, the female lead of the MV will be Hu Jing and the others.

Anyway, the first two photos were done like this, and the rumors are over, so this time is not bad.

On the contrary, maybe the more open and aboveboard he is, the outside world will not think too much about it. Sometimes the effect of being dark under the lights is better than hiding it.

.........

To promote "Youth Bao Qingtian", record the album, prepare for the concert, and also study and design the performance content and program flow of the tour concert, which singer to assist in the performance must be finalized in advance.

Cao Xuan, who had just relaxed for a month, started to get busy again in late August.

Cao Xuan is busy, and other people in the music industry are not idle either. Since May, major singers have started to stage a good show of "I will appear on the stage after you sing" on the charts.

First of all, Kelly Chen, she and Karen Mok have been very active in the past two years, and have released several Mandarin albums, focusing on the mainland, Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets.

In May, she released a new album. The title song "It's Better to Dance" in it, with its cheerful and magical lyrics, quickly became popular and became the hottest new song of the month.

At that time, milk tea Liu Ruoying's "Later" dominated, Xu Huaiyu's "Fenfei", and Lin Yilian's "At Least You" were also on the list.

There is also Li Wen, who is gaining momentum, and the five female singers are in a ball.

The top ten male singers on the list are only Ren Xianqi and Lin Zhixuan who sang "Single Love Song".

This situation of yin prosperity and yang decline will intensify in June.

Jin Haixin, a popular singer of the new generation in the mainland, released his masterpiece "So Proud".

This singer may not be known to many people in later generations, but he is very popular nowadays.

Last year, the first album "Wake Up Your Ears" was released, which quickly became popular, and it was on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

This year's "So Proud" was once again a great success. In June, it smashed the rankings like crazy, and the media commented that Jin Haixin is the female version of Cao Xuan in the mainland.

However, Jin Haixin did not maintain Cao Xuan's dominance at that time. Not long after she slaughtered the list, a newcomer was born.

Unpopular singer Sun Yanzi landed in the mainland with her famous work "Dark Black", which directly overturned Jin Haixin.

How popular is this song? Jay Chou, who is known as half of the world, has won countless awards in his music career, but he has never won the best newcomer.

Because almost all of the 2000 Best Newcomer Award in the Chinese music scene went to Sun Yanzi.

According to incomplete statistics, Sun Yanzi won fifteen newcomer trophies in one go with "The Sky Is Dark", and Xiao Zhou followed Sun Yanzi for a whole year.

In addition to Sun Yanzi, Mo Wenwei, the Queen of Xiangjiang, also produced her most popular masterpiece "The Fruit of Midsummer".

Under the siege of two songs at the level of Wang Zhan, Jin Haixin could only retreat.

The strong debut of the three female singers turned the entire ranking into a competition for female singers.

The only remaining Lin Zhixuan and Ren Xianqi were squeezed out of the top ten one after another.

"Single Love Song" was released last year, but its potential has been lost, but Brother Xiao Qi, the king of heaven is still popular, after a few days of delay, he killed him back, but surrounded by many female singers, he trembled.

Finally, at the end of June, another male singer broke into the top ten.

Wang Lihong entered the venue with "Descendants of the Dragon".

It has been said before that Xie Feng was miserable by Cao Xuan, but in fact Wang Lihong is not bad.

Although he was not copied by Cao Xuan, he was robbed of the endorsement. Wang Lihong was able to become famous in the mainland, and Wahaha's advertising bombardment helped him a lot.

Now Cao Xuan has become the spokesperson of Wahaha, and has dominated the mainland music scene. Wang Lihong has been firmly suppressed by Cao Xuan for several albums released.

Until this "Descendants of the Dragon", Wang Lihong finally got rid of Cao Xuan's shadow, and finally became popular.

But Wang Lihong was not happy for too long. A group of female singers besieged her before, and she managed to get through July.

In August, Ren Xianqi, Wang Fei, Liu Tianwang, and Na Ying released a new album together.

"Blossoming Waves", "A Love Letter to Myself", "It's Not a Crime for a Man to Cry", and "Selling Out" are all songs of excellent quality.

In particular, "Blossoming Waves" and "It's Not a Crime for Men to Cry, Cry" are also considered to be the masterpieces of Brother Xiao Qi and Tianwang Liu, and they are widely sung.

But to say that the most popular song in August is not the masterpiece of the two heavenly kings, but "Courage" by Liang Jingru.

Six Eyes Flying Fish and Liang Jingru gave you the courage.

One song can create two popular memes that are well-known on the Internet, which shows the influence of this song "Courage".

In fact, the song "Courage" was also the most popular song in 2000. Liang Jingru, whose debut album last year had a mediocre response, became famous and directly became the little queen of Taiwan.

The limelight overwhelmed Sun Yanzi, Zhou Jielun, Cai Yilin, Xiao Yaxuan, Wang Lihong and other future kings and queens.

It's a pity that the follow-up songs didn't keep up, and other singers came up with hits one after another, and were overtaken one after another.

But even so, there is only one Sun Yanzi who can stabilize Liang Jingru among the four big and three small queens in Taiwan.

In addition to Cai Yilin's slightly higher reputation, in other respects, she is a brother of Liang Jingru, and even many people in the industry look down on her, thinking that she is a queen of dancing, not a queen of singing.

The entire month of August was a fight between gods and immortals. The Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Liu Tianwang, Wang Fei and other veterans were fighting each other on the rankings.

And in September, several singers are ready to play at any time, and it's not a bad thing.

The intensity of competition in the entire music scene was more than one notch higher than last year, and even Cao Xuan's throat was a little tight when he saw it.

The beginning of the golden age of the Chinese music scene is indeed well-deserved, and there are too many good songs.

Thanks to the fact that the album in Cao Xuan's hand is hard enough, otherwise he might not be able to suppress it.

The outside media and people who eat melons are also very happy to watch the fight in the music world, and they are very much looking forward to the release of Cao Xuan's new album.

In the peak duel between Southern Ren and Northern Cao, there is also a large group of Cenozoic and Mesozoic besieging. Everyone wants to see who can break out of the encirclement in the end.

The golden age of the Chinese music scene has officially kicked off...
