Chapter 182 Become the regular army of the Music Association, and the sword points to the American music scene
Huangpu, the magical city, a cafe

Zeng Li took a lot of effort to hold down Zeng Yu, but he still couldn't stop Zeng Yu's fiery heart of gossip.

"Brother-in-law, are you really at odds with Xie Feng?"

"It's not a feud, I haven't met him much, but I know Wang Fei very well."

"Wang Fei!"

Zeng Yu looked at Zeng Li and said excitedly, "Sister, aren't you a loyal fan of her, have you seen her?"

"We had dinner together once."

When Zeng Li mentioned this, her face was full of happiness. When she knew that Cao Xuan and Wang Fei knew each other, she pestered Cao Xuan to take her to meet her idol.

In the end, at the cost of unlocking two new poses, she successfully met Wang Fei through Cao Xuan, signed autographs, took a group photo, had dinner, and played two rounds of mahjong together.

Although Cao Xuan almost couldn't get out of bed the next day, she was still worth it.

Thinking this way in his heart, Zeng Li felt a headache when he saw Zeng Yu bluffing, and couldn't help reprimanding him.

"Be reserved, what does it look like for a girl to show her teeth and claws?"

"What are my family afraid of?"

Cao Xuan waved his hand. He actually likes his sister-in-law's temperament, lively and cheerful, with the vitality that a girl of this age should have.

It can be seen that he lives well under the wing of his future mother-in-law and elder sister Zeng Li, and has nothing to worry about.

"Brother-in-law, it's better for you, unlike my sister, who is fierce."

"Who said that your sister is actually very gentle, and she is strict with you for your own good."

Cao Xuan didn't fall into the trap, he knew exactly where his wife and sister-in-law should stand.

After hearing Zeng Yu's words, he immediately held Zeng Li's watch faithfully, and got a sweet smile from Zeng Damei.

Zeng Yu: "..."

Being stuffed with a mouth full of dog food, seeing Zeng Li's eyes staring at him, he didn't dare to refute, so he could only concentrate on dealing with the cake in front of him.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't forget the light bulb. Cao Xuan asked, "Your sister said, you want to study abroad?"

"Well, my dad contacted me."

"That's not bad, go out and study hard."

At this stage, going to study abroad is still quite valuable, and the key point is that Zeng Yu's grades are mediocre, so he won't be able to go to a good university if he stays in China. In the future, his father-in-law will have connections abroad, so it would be good to contact a good school.

Cao Xuan does not approve of going abroad in his heart, and the domestic development opportunities in the future are not bad, besides, there is his brother-in-law.

But it was decided by his parents that his son-in-law would not dare to meet people, so it is better not to get involved.

Cao Xuan was busy, so he didn't chat with his sister-in-law for long, so he brushed his face, gave a new Motorola mobile phone as a gift, and bid farewell to the Zeng sisters.

Before leaving, he reminded Zeng Li that he had been in Shanghai for the past two days to pay attention to the nice houses there.

No matter what kind of lofts, flat floors, and villas, he will pay for the one he likes, and build Cao Daguan's Nishinomiya House.

.........

On December 12th, Cao Xuan, who returned to Beijing, officially joined the Chinese Musicians Association accompanied by two introducers.

In fact, under normal circumstances, this kind of ordinary member membership is ignored at all, at most standing in a row during the general meeting to introduce.

However, Cao Xuan was so famous that even the music association couldn't take it for granted, so for the first time, Cao Xuan held an initiation ceremony for the association.

Cao Xuan himself, the leader of the association who held the ceremony, and two introducers were all interviewed by the paper media and even CCTV.

The seniors naturally talked about passing on the torch from generation to generation, accepting new forces, and by the way, praised Cao Xuan's achievements.

Cao Xuan put his posture very low, and was very humble when facing the CCTV interview.

"It is a great honor for me to be able to join the big family of the Music Association. I will also keep my original intention and continue to work hard. With the help of the leaders of the association and the help of the seniors, I will continue to bring good things to everyone in the future. Works, contribute to the music cause of our country..."

To the outside world, most people don't take this news seriously, but it is still very good in the industry.

China Film Association, referred to as Film Association; China Musicians Association, referred to as Music Association; China Television Artists Association; referred to as Video Association.

These three are national first-level associations directly under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, plus the China Performing Industry Association under the Ministry of Culture, making a total of four major associations.Directly benchmarking the performing arts industry and performers, it has a very high influence in the industry.

You may not be able to see it normally, but if you really put in the effort to deal with an artist, and there is no great background to block you, then pack up your things and quit the circle.

In the later generations, the banning of Yan and Shuangzi was due to the voices of these major associations successively, and the gold content was stronger than that of the official media, and it was second only to the explicit order of a certain bureau.

Even the latter two, to a certain extent, are advancing and retreating with the four major associations in this regard.

There are two of the three, basically cold, all three, definitely cool...

The three major associations of Film Association, Video Association, and Music Association may not feel any obvious benefits after joining, but they will definitely feel some obstacles if they do not join the association.

After accepting the interview, Cao Xuan had a meal with some big bosses, and felt that the leaders valued him very much.

Cao Xuan also followed the music with all his heart.

There are too many big bosses in the film association and visual association, and his master Li Xuejian will be the top leader of the film association in the future, so it is estimated that his disciple should avoid suspicion, and it will be difficult to get into the top management in a short time.

But the Music Association is different. Most of them are songwriters and singers within the system, with limited reputation.

If Cao Xuan relied on his achievements in the music industry and even his overseas influence, he would have a good chance of becoming a key training target of the Music Association.

You can't be the top leader, but after a few years, there is still hope for being the vice chairman of the Music Association.

Of course, it would be even better if the film association, the video association, and the music association blossom, but Cao Xuan thinks it is unlikely, and the film and video associations are the most likely to choose one.

After becoming a regular soldier, Cao Xuan felt good, and wished he could find someone to promote the APP.

Cao Shuangguo was happier than Cao Xuan. Although Cao Xuan explained to him many times that he had no establishment and was only a member of the association, he still did not dispel the excitement of Comrade Cao. He set off two firecrackers in Dashizuo Hutong.

There is no way, many older generations bring their own "civil servant" curse, regardless of how much Cao Xuan earns now, what kind of superstar is he.

But in the eyes of Lao Cao and Sun Lan, apart from the Spring Festival Gala, members of this association really have the most popularity.

Especially when I heard that this association starts with the word "中", the old couple are so hung up on not going back to their hometown to set up two tables......

……

After reassuring his parents, Cao Xuan participated in CCTV and several activities, and then set off for Taiwan Province.

In the early morning of December 12th, Cao Xuan and his entourage quietly rushed to Taiwan Province. Zhou Jianhui, President of Warner Greater China, picked them up in person and told him the good news.

The 35000 tickets for the Cao Xuantai Provincial Concert sold out in three days, and all his fans went crazy for it. The price on the black market has tripled.

Now, someone is organizing a petition, hoping that Cao Xuan will hold an additional event in Taiwan.

Warner is very tempted, but there is no way. The programs of each of Cao Xuan's concerts are different in order to achieve a relatively better effect. If there is an additional one, some programs will have to be rearranged.

Unless Cao Xuan performs it again intact, this may cause dissatisfaction among some of the audience for the second time, which in turn will affect Cao Xuan's reputation.

Even if Warner agrees, Cao Xuan will not lose the big because of small things.

Furthermore, it is not easy to hold an extra concert, a few thousand people is enough, this kind of big venue with tens of thousands of people, the venue, tickets, publicity and other aspects must have meticulous planning.

If you want to make thorough preparations, it is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Cao Xuan's future concert schedule has already been set, and it cannot be changed just by saying it.

Therefore, it is definitely useless to add a concert temporarily, and if you want to listen, you can only wait for the next time.

Zhou Jianhui came here this time because he wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Cao Xuan, whether he could hold such a concert tour next year.

So much money!

Nearly half of the profits of Warner Greater China this year are Cao Xuan's concert + new album.

Warner is greedy, wishing to tie Cao Xuan up to hold concerts every day, even if the big ones are not easy to open, they can open a few more small ones, with small profits but quick turnover.

Cao Xuan didn't do what he wanted. To be honest, holding a concert is much more troublesome than filming and making an album.

All kinds of rehearsals and preliminary preparation work, he had to do a lot of it himself, which was tiring, and there was a lot of psychological burden for so many people to perform, even though there were only less than two shows, Cao Xuan was a little bit injured.

In addition, next year he has to shoot "The Family of Gold Fans", and he still has the heart to create a new album, a Chinese-style album, and he is trying to produce an English album. There is no time for a concert at all.

Now that QQ has started to make a profit, Cao Xuan started to cooperate with Shanda on "Legend", and Fanxing is slowly getting on the right track.

Cao Xuan didn't have that much financial pressure, so he didn't want to work so hard.

On average, a few big concerts will be held every two or three years, just to give back to the fans, and he can also have a good time.

Driving every year consumes too much energy. After all, he is a man with two wives, so he must always pay attention to his health...

Zhou Jianhui was a little disappointed, but was more interested in Cao Xuan's new album.

"There will be two next year?"

"The plan is two, one popular, one Chinese style, and try to release the first English single, I'm afraid I will have to rely on your head office."

"It's no problem. This is what we agreed before. We fully support you. After all, if you really become an international superstar, we will benefit a lot."

Zhou Jianhui's chest slapped loudly, but he didn't take it seriously.

There are quite a few singers who have released English albums in the Chinese music scene, and even the Japanese and Korean music scenes, which have hit Hollywood, but there are only a handful of them who can be popular.

It's not that they don't have a backstage. EMI, Sony, and Universal all have head offices in the United States, and their distribution and publicity capabilities are not bad, but they just can't be popular.

Cultural differences make the song itself unable to resonate on the one hand, and the environment and skin color are also important difficulties.

Those Yankees all had eyes on their heads, and Zhou Jianhui, who had worked in the United States, knew the virtues of those people very well.

It is too difficult for Asian singers to make a name for themselves in the American music scene.

In contrast, Zhou Jianhui is still more interested in Cao Xuan's other two albums.

He doesn't know whether Cao Xuan can open the American market, but the Asian Chinese market is now Cao Xuan's back garden, and he has already begun to calculate how much money Warner can share for the two albums...
