China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 172 The Chinese stars, only I am bright, the era of Cao Xuan to which I belong is coming
Near noon on November 11th, Cao Xuan finally reached the grand occasion of dominating the top ten by himself.

Then the fans and the media went crazy, especially on November 11th, which coincided with Cao Xuan's birthday, which brought a certain degree of legend to this day.

Fans tried their best to broadcast frantically, in order to keep the list, and reporters also reported a lot, which brought great heat to this matter.

It's not easy to occupy the top ten on the list. Leaving aside popular songs such as "Courage" and "Dark Sky", opponents and competitors like Xie Feng, Na Ying, and Ren Xianqi can't just watch Cao Xuan show off his might.

Even fans who had nothing to do with Cao Xuan, such as the Four Heavenly Kings, Wang Fei, and Zhang Huimei, quietly ended up making trouble.

The entertainment industry is so big, if Cao Xuan is in the top position, someone has to come down, maybe singers don't care, but fans still don't want someone to replace or surpass their idol.

Therefore, although there is official assistance and a large number of enthusiastic people to help, there are also many people who are holding back.

This chart-slashing battle seems to be stable. "Bright Stars" has dominated the chart for 10 songs for a whole day, and "Courage" has not moved at the number [-] position.

But in fact, the fighting behind the scenes was extremely fierce, and even Warner and Fanxing invested a certain amount of funds in the later stage, so we must keep this historical achievement.

Fortunately, although the process was difficult, on November 2000, 11, Cao Xuan's 13 songs remained in the top ten.

Although the internal ranking has changed, it has not allowed "Courage" to overtake.

Even this record was maintained until around noon on November 11th, and it took more than 14 hours to dominate the list before it was broken.

Many fans and even the industry regard November 2000th, 11 as the day when Cao Xuan became a god.

Jay Chou and Wang Toutiao are said to be half of the Chinese music scene, and Cao Xuan is directly the whole wall, and his nickname can be called "Cao Bi" in the future.

Uh, it’s still called Cao Quanbi...it’s better not to be Cao...

The media from both sides of the strait and the three places made a big publicity, and various media in Asia also reproduced this grand event, and even Europe and the United States have related reports.

After all, it is really hard to imagine a singer achieving such dominance on the pop charts of his country.

Those who can do this are all "national treasure" singers of the country, such as Michael Jackson in the United States, The Beatles in the United Kingdom, and Teresa Teng in China...

Cao Xuan may not be able to rank alongside these music legends for the time being, but he barely has the qualifications to follow suit.

Even, Cao Xuan had three hit albums in a row from 1998 to 2000, each of which became more popular than the last.

Now, Cao Xuan has broken away from the concept of the new generation of heavenly kings, and has begun to rank among top heavenly kings and queens such as Zhang Guorong, Zhang Tianwang, Wang Fei, and Liu Tianwang.

In terms of performance and sales in the music industry alone, Cao Xuan is not inferior in the slightest. The only thing worse than them is that he became popular too quickly, resulting in a lack of background, and his qualifications, influence and nationality are much inferior.

This is Cao Xuan's most troublesome weakness right now. Everything else is easy to handle, but these aspects can only be worked out bit by bit with time.

But this is also good, that is, those few have basically reached or are close to the ceiling, while Cao Xuan is still on the rise, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped.

A few years later, when Cao Xuan has accumulated enough background qualifications, influence and citizenship, it will be time for him to overtake in a corner.

In November, the cumulative total sales of the Stars Trilogy have exceeded 11 million+ at this time, and seeing the momentum of "Bright Stars", it is very hopeful that the three albums will break into the sales club of tens of millions.

Even if the three cards are not reached, the difference will not be too far, and it is only a matter of time before they enter the tens of millions.

Aside from the promotional nature of albums and those albums that include pirated sales, only genuine sales data disclosed by authoritative organizations.

Chinese music singers whose album sales have reached tens of millions can be counted on two hands.

It can be said that no matter what the future holds, when it comes to the Chinese music scene, Cao Xuan is already a name that cannot be avoided.

"Contemporary Music World" published a special issue for the second time around Cao Xuan within a month.

The cover of this special issue of "Contemporary Music World" is the cover of Cao Xuan's "Bright Stars". Cao Xuan is alone with his back to the camera, facing the starry sky, looking at the sky full of stars, one of which is the most shining.

And the title of this special issue also fits the cover——

"Chinese stars, I am the only one shining, the era of Cao Xuan has come"

.........

When the media industry was raging about Cao Xuan, Cao Xuan put an end to his dominance.

Through multiple platforms such as paper media, the three major portal websites, QQ, Tianya Forum, etc., he sincerely expressed his gratitude to the fans and all those who helped to reach the rankings.

At the same time, I also made a special statement that everyone can calm down, don't deliberately go to the rankings, and let the rankings return to normal.

To put it bluntly, just accept as soon as you see it.

The Conferred Gods Day has been successfully achieved, the momentum has picked up, and the album is not short of sales, so there is no need to cling to the charts and not let go, to leave a way for other singers, and to avoid continuing to be the target of public criticism.

After all, Cao Xuan has also seen it. This time the battle to dominate the charts is a big victory, coupled with the album's good performance and the media's advocacy, each of them is a bit small, and they look down on this and look down on that.

If the game continues like this, it may cause public outrage, so Cao Xuan took the initiative to pour cold water to cool down, and he retired.

This not only prevents fans from getting out of control, leading to large-scale conflicts with other people, but also earns a reputation of being modest and sensible, which serves multiple purposes.

The longer Cao Xuan spent in the entertainment industry, the more he felt that it might not be a good thing to show his sharpness. Leaving two points in everything can save him a lot of trouble.

But then again, the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, you can leave room for it, but you must not hide your clumsiness, you will get the limelight you deserve.

Steal all the limelight, and then give up some, everyone says you are particular and know how to behave.

But in the face of the limelight, if you have the strength but take the initiative to avoid it, people will not accept your affection if they get it, but take it for granted and think you are weak or stupid.

There are also many detailed operations in the middle, and Cao Xuan doesn't know if he is doing it right, so he can only feel it bit by bit.

Fortunately, the results are good, at least for this matter, some people may say that he is trying to gain fame, but they will definitely not say that he is stupid, and they also recognize Cao Xuan's strength.

However, although Cao Xuan issued a statement calling on fans not to rush to the charts, the quality of "Bright Stars" lies here.

"The Wind Rises", "Ten Years", "Fireworks Are Cold", "Blue Lotus", "Dark Fragrance", "Jiangnan", "Stubbornness", "Little Love Song", "Yellow Race", "Absolutely Infatuated"

Which capital is a hit song that is widely sung and of good quality, and even a few capitals are at the level of Wang Bo, plus Cao Xuan's popularity and the influence of media massacres.

Even though Cao Xuan voluntarily backed away, and fans no longer deliberately hit the charts, there are still few songs that can threaten the status of "Bright Stars".

On November 11, "Courage" returned to the top ten.

It took two full days for "Day Hei Hei" to turn Cao Laojiu into Cao Laoba again, and after another week, "Little Love Song" was squeezed out of the top ten.

But the remaining seven songs remained firmly on the list until the end of November. No song could squeeze them down. Over time, everyone got used to it.

At least seven out of ten, which is much better than Cao Xuan alone in the top ten, barely within the range of tolerance.

.........

Throughout November 2000, there was no artist who was more popular than Cao Xuan in the Chinese music scene, and even in the entire entertainment industry.

It was so popular that even the director team of the Spring Festival Gala couldn't bear the heat, and revealed the news of Cao Xuan's participation in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

Although many people had guessed that Cao Xuan would participate in the Spring Festival Gala based on his performance in the past two years and his popularity this year, the guesses were just guesses after all, and everyone was excited after getting the confirmation.

Compared with his debut in the Spring Festival Gala two years ago, Cao Xuan now has a certain audience appeal in the Spring Festival Gala, and he is also one of the very few non-verbal programs that are widely expected by the outside world.

Even Cao Xuan, who had seen many big scenes, felt a bit of pressure.

This is different from the pressure of being on stage for a live performance. It is the fear of being embarrassed by the performance. This is the burden of public expectations. In addition to fear of mistakes in the performance, you are also afraid that the program will not perform well and cause everyone to be disappointed. It can be described as double pressure.

Just like Lao Zhao, hundreds of millions of people stare at him during the Spring Festival every year. Not only can he not perform mistakes, but he also has to perform brilliantly. It is conceivable that there is a lot of psychological quality involved.

Song Dandan, Fan Wei and other skit stars withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala one after another. On the one hand, they have achieved fame and there is no need to work so hard. On the other hand, they really can't bear it.

In contrast, Cao Xuan still has Lao Zhao in front of him and language programs, and his singing has not changed much, and the intensity of rehearsal and revision is not high.

So although there was pressure, it was still within Cao Xuan's tolerance.

On November 11th, Cao Xuan directly advanced to the fourth round of rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala. After discussing with the program team for a long time, he finally chose the new song presented by Cao Xuan.

In the previous two Spring Festival Gala, Cao Xuan used all new songs, and he was one of the few singers who dared to bring new songs to the Spring Festival Gala, and he had already made a name for himself.

Many people are looking forward to his new works in this Spring Festival Gala, which can even be said to be his biggest selling point of this Spring Festival Gala.

At this time, if Cao Xuan uses old songs that have been released, the performance effect may not be bad, but to a certain extent, it violates public expectations, and the influence of the program will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, both Cao Xuan and the program team tend to continue to follow the route of Spring Festival Gala + new songs, but new songs represent risks.

The first two years were fine. After all, Cao Xuan’s role in the Spring Festival Gala was not particularly important, but this year he has already been regarded as one of the most watched programs in the Spring Festival Gala.

The attention of the outside world has skyrocketed, and the program group has become more cautious.

Although the three rounds of final rehearsal finalized new songs, they did not give up old songs as alternatives.

The currently popular "Blue Lotus", "The Wind Rises" and "Stubborn" are all included in Cao Xuan's program candidates. If you feel that there is a problem with the new song, you can directly replace it with the old song.

For the four songs to be selected, Cao Xuan is basically determined to participate in this Spring Festival Gala [-]%. Even if these four songs are all dead, he will make up songs such as "Fireworks Are Cold" and "Jiangnan".

Let's put it this way, Cao Xuan's program selection inventory, even the Spring Festival Gala program group is jealous.

If Cao Xuan hadn't participated in the Spring Festival Gala himself, and put all his songs on stage, it seemed that there were too many personal elements, otherwise they would have to make "Cao Xuan's Songs" and the ratings would be quite good...

　Well, there's only one update (Crazy Escape)
