China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 16 The king of color bells, the return of Xiangjiang

After finishing the recording of "Light Chaser", Cao Xuan came back to rest for two days, and then began to plan the next step.

Single out!
The 15000 of "Following Love to the End" + 5000 of "Water Margin", after deducting taxes and expenses during this period, and counting the original savings, Cao Xuan has about 18000 yuan at this time.

Cao Xuan once inquired about the price of recording a single, and the cost of ordinary recording is about 1 to 5.

The specific price should be comprehensively priced according to the accompaniment needs, recording equipment, staff wages, recording days, etc. If there are any special requirements, it may exceed this range.

Cao Xuan's money was a bit small, but it was barely enough.

If it really doesn't work, Cao Xuan plans to point out to his parents that the family doesn't have much money, but 2 should be able to get together.

However, this was all the money his parents earned from digging their food in the soil. He really didn't want to talk to the family unless he had to.

After leaving his hometown in early 95, Cao Xuan has only been home once in more than two years.

On the one hand, they are busy making money, and the to and fro fares are not low.

When he returned to Beijing from Xinwu before, Cao Xuan could actually go home to have a look, but he still held back and planned to wait until he made some achievements before returning home. The issue of face was second, mainly to reassure his parents.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan's desire for the success of the single became stronger and stronger.

Whether I can go home for a decent Spring Festival this year depends on it...  

.........

For his first single, Cao Xuan already has a draft.

It doesn't matter whether it is classic or not, the quality is high or not, and the deep meaning behind the lyrics and music is all the bottom line.

It must be widely spread.

The melody is simple, the lyrics are bright and catchy, it can be remembered as quickly as possible, and it is enough for people to "brainwash."

This is Cao Xuan's request for his single. To put it bluntly, he just wants to get a "saliva song".

Cao Xuan has no shortage of high-quality goods in his hands. He dare not say that he will catch all the songs in the Chinese music scene in the next 20 years, but he basically has some famous songs in his mind.

But a song is not just good quality to be popular, there are a lot of things involved, even aside from human efforts, there are also metaphysical bonuses such as opportunity and fortune.

In later generations, the original singer was unknown, and there are many examples of cover songs that became popular.

Wang Feng sang "In the Spring" countless times, but he lost to Rising Sun and became popular overnight.

Li Jian was the original singer of "Legend", but it was Wang Fei who really brought this song to the top of the Chinese music scene.

Dick Cowboy sings "How Much Love Can Be Repeated", I don't know the original song unless I check it online.

And Teresa Teng's classic "The Moon Represents My Heart", how many people know that this is a cover song.

Can you say that Wang Feng and Li Jian are not good at singing?
Or is it that "Legend" and "The Moon Represents My Heart" are of poor quality?
Therefore, with these clear examples, even Cao Xuan himself can't guarantee that he will succeed in moving Huoge out of later generations ahead of time.

Before "Brothers" and "Light Chaser" were selling songs for money, Cao Xuan's key is to impress people who spend money to buy songs, and audience feedback is temporarily out of his consideration.

It's gratifying when it's hot, but if it's not hot, he won't lose money when he gets the money.

But when it's Cao Xuan's turn to release a single, it's different. The purpose of releasing a single is to sell it, and whether the fans and the audience will buy it is the first factor.

Cao Xuan should not be applauded or not, but should be applauded again and again, or even not.

The Four Heavenly Kings were scolded for their bad songs in their early years, but they led an era.

The legend of Phoenix has been controversial, but it has killed countless singers and music critics who criticized and besieged them.

Daolang was ridiculed at the song soil, and the sales crushed the entire music world. What a king and a queen, it is not enough for him to be tied together.

Cao Xuan doesn't care about controversy, and he's not afraid of being "taunted". Anyone who has a bad song should be praised for himself.

As long as the song is popular, it can make money, and it can be liked and recognized by the fans and audiences. I feel that the money is not wrong, and it is worthy of these parents, and the rest is drizzle......

Cao Xuan picked and chose among the many popular Wang Zhai Divine Comedies, and finally selected three songs.

"Two Butterflies"

"1 Reasons"

"Autumn will not return"

All of them are songs that can almost be engraved into the DNA level. The overlord of the color ringtone era is very much in line with Cao Xuan's requirements.

The first song "Two Butterflies" was a mess from 2003 to 2005. Singer Pang Long earned hundreds of millions by relying on the copyright of this song.

The second song "1 Reasons" has 1 million CRBT downloads for a single song, creating a myth of CRBT sales.

The third song "Autumn Don't Come Back", this song is not as amazing as the first two songs, but its popularity is not inferior. The phrase "Let the autumn wind take away my thoughts and my tears", I heard it once. Can't forget.

If these three songs are still not popular, then Cao Xuan can only sacrifice the big killers "Rice Loves Rice", "Love Business" and "The Most Dazzling National Style"......

But to that point, Cao Xuanzhen will never return on the road of "brainwashing Divine Comedy".

.........

Cao Xuan hesitated several times in the three songs, and took the lead in eliminating "Two Butterflies".

Although this song was popular after the millennium, I remember that it was written as early as 96 or 97. In order to prevent the car from rolling over, Cao Xuan decided to abandon it.

For the remaining two songs, Cao Xuan finally chose "1 Reasons", which had a better paper score.

"Autumn Don't Come Back" is included as a candidate, which can be reserved for the next single or when releasing an album.

At that time, Cao Xuan will find a few more Divine Comedies of Color Rings and get an album of "Top Ten Classics of Color Rings". Maybe he will be able to mix up the title of "King of Color Rings" in the future.

After confirming the single, Cao Xuan immediately began to act.

He recorded two songs in the recording studio. He is also a half expert. He entrusted Liu Huan to find a relatively high-quality and low-cost recording studio.

It took a few days for Cao Xuan to record "1 Reasons", spending almost all of his money in it.
This is still the friendship price that the owner of the recording studio paid for Liu Huan's face, otherwise Cao Xuan would really have to call home for help.

Holding the finished product of "1 Reasons", Cao Xuan did not rush to find a cooperative company to release the single, but went to the karaoke hall to sell it for a few days to earn some food money.

Thanks to being in the recording studio every day these days, Cao Xuan's singing skills have improved a lot. In addition to his stylish and handsome appearance, the karaoke owner even gave him a raise.

The daily salary increased from 50 to 60, and it meant that Cao Xuan would stay on the field for a long time, but Cao Xuanzhi was not here, so he could only decline.

On July 1997, 7, Xiangjiang officially returned.

Cao Xuan was sitting on the TV in the karaoke hall, and when he saw the Chinese flag and the Bauhinia flag being raised together, the crowd cheered loudly.

Counting from the "Treaty of Nanjing" in 1842 to occupy Xiangjiang Island, for 150 years, Xiangjiang finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.

Outside, the people of the capital spontaneously started to celebrate and parade on the streets, and the karaoke hall also began to sing and drink. Cao Xuan took the lead in singing "Singing the Motherland".

"Five-star red flag fluttering in the wind

how loud the victory song
Sing our dear motherland

From now on to prosperity
......"
