China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 186
At the end of the concert that night, Cao Xuan entertained the CCTV team and several supporting guests, and tasted Singapore food.

CCTV also made an interview with Sun Yanzi and Zhou Jielun. Although they exist as Cao Xuan's supporters, they can be regarded as landing on CCTV.

For artists like them who have just debuted, it is also a good exposure benefit.

Just when Sun Yanzi's family came to visit the class, Cao Xuan chatted with Sun's father.

Sun Yanzi's family conditions are very good even in Singapore.

His father is a university professor, his mother is a teacher, his elder sister is an employee of an investment bank in Singapore, and will become a vice president in the future, and his younger sister is still in school, but will be a master of medicine in the future. The family is all elites.

Sun's father is open-minded and supports his daughter's career. He also thanked Cao Xuan for his help to Sun Yanzi, and warmly invited Cao Xuan to visit his home. However, Cao Xuan was going to Malaysia soon, so he could only decline.

However, Cao Xuan still left his grandfather's contact information. When he came to Singapore this time, he had a good impression of the local environment and various conditions.

Cao Xuan has always had the idea of ​​buying property overseas, not for immigration, but to prepare for a rainy day.

The two girlfriends don't need to get married, but the child must be born. If the domestic hospital is not balanced, Cao Xuan plans to go overseas.

Europe and the United States are too far away for him to take care of, and the medical conditions in Xiangjiang or Singapore are not bad, and the key is that they are close, which is a good choice.

Even if you don't need it, it's good to take a vacation occasionally. It radiates across Southeast Asia and is a good leisure center.

Moreover, Singapore has a limited area, even if it is used as an investment property, it is guaranteed to make money.

Of course, it's just an idea at the moment, and Cao Xuan doesn't necessarily have to buy a house through his grandparents, but there's no harm in having a local acquaintance help clear the mines.

They stayed in Singapore for one night, and the next day they were going to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Xiao Zhou saw reports about Cao Xuan at the airport and bought a few copies.

It started with the report on last night's concert by Singapore's authoritative Chinese media "Singapore Lianhe Zaobao".

The article didn't say much, it just objectively described the situation of last night's concert.

Then he expressed Cao Xuan's influence in Singapore, catching up with the older generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan superstars, he is currently the most popular artist in Singapore of the new generation of China, even surpassing many Singaporean artists working in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

This kind of authoritative media is relatively restrained, and some entertainment tabloids are more exaggerated.

There were so many people, all the seats were filled, the scene was astonishing, and there were countless fans who were intoxicated by Cao Xuan's singing, who fell into madness, and even fainted from excitement and were taken to the hospital by ambulance.

Cao Xuan strongly suspected that this was a draft purchased by Warner.

Anyway, he had never heard of a fan fainting, otherwise Warner would have arranged for him to visit, which would not only establish a good image of fans, but also stir up the topic.

I read several newspapers, except for "Singapore Lianhe Zaobao", only one English newspaper with his photo caught Cao Xuan's attention.

The above praised the song "500miles" that Cao Xuan sang at the concert yesterday.

At the end, the author also expressed regret that the outside world has no finished products, and he has no channels for on-demand broadcasts.

Cao Xuan has no choice but to wait for Phoenix Satellite TV to release the concert video before it can be ordered.

The English premiere performed well, and Cao Xuan was so happy that he slept comfortably on the plane, and rushed to the stage after getting off the plane.

Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia, and it is also the political, cultural and commercial center of Malaysia, with complete infrastructure.

It has the top ten stadiums in the world - Bukit Jalil National Stadium.

This stadium can accommodate 10 people, which is very suitable for Cao Xuan's venue needs, but it is a pity that Cao Xuan does not have such a large venue in Malaysia.

His concert was held at the Merdeka Stadium. Many Chinese fans are familiar with this name, and the national football team has stumbled a lot here.

But then again, there are indeed not many stadiums where the national football team does not stumble.

When it comes to the blessed places of the national football team, there are only a few, and when it comes to the sad places of the national football team, the list is long...

This stadium can accommodate 5 people. Cao Xuan and Warner only had a venue for 3 people, and all of them were sold out. If it wasn't for time constraints, Warner would even consider selling more.

This concert was the most relaxing for Cao Xuan personally.

After all, after the previous few performances, the experience has been honed out. In addition, after singing this one, you can go back to China to rest. As you approach "off work", your mentality will naturally be better.

And the fans in Malaysia also support Cao Xuan very much, even in terms of friendliness, Cao Xuan thinks it is better than Singapore,
After performing the concert, Jay Chou, Sun Yanzi and other supporting guests went back to their respective homes. Cao Xuan himself was not in a hurry to return to China, but went to Malaysia National Television to participate in a program.

After that, he met the deputy editor of the Asia editorial department of "Time" in the collapsed hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

Warner had contacted "Time" before, but the editorial department did not directly write the article, but sent the deputy editor and two editors from Taiwan to Malaysia, and witnessed Cao Xuan's Asian tour concert.

The Asian editorial department of "Time" upgraded the original report from a general interview to an exclusive interview, and later upgraded to a cover interview.

They planned to make Cao Xuan the cover of the Asian edition of the next issue of Time Magazine, and the title was ready.

"Chinese storm, the new generation of Asian pop kings"

As the most influential news media in the United States, "Time Magazine" is quite influential all over the world. Every celebrity is proud to be on the cover of "Time Magazine".

The same is true of the Chinese.

In other words, the reason why the cover of "Time Magazine" is so popular in China is that the people who landed on the cover before that are all the top big names in China.

Even if the codes are listed, there are possible 404 types...

Before the 90s, most of the people on the cover in China were political and economic figures. Until 1996, Gong Li became the first Chinese artist to be on the cover.

The second place is Wang Fei, who was also the first to appear on the cover of the Asian edition. She was considered as the "Queen of Pop" by Time Magazine.

The third place is Cheng Long, the eldest brother became popular in Hollywood with "Rush Hour" and was named "Mr. Hollywood" by "Time Magazine".

Then there will be "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which will be screened in the United States in the second half of this year. The two leading actors, Fa Ge and Michelle Yeoh, jointly appeared on the cover of "Time Magazine".

The latter is a Malaysian Chinese, so only Fa Ge can be regarded as a Chinese artist.

In fact, Gong Li later became a Singaporean citizen, but she is still an out-and-out Chinese.

It can be seen from the above-mentioned few that the top stars in the Chinese entertainment industry who can appear on the cover of "Time" must have a certain degree of overseas influence.

And if nothing else happens, Cao Xuan will become the fifth superstar to appear on the cover of "Time Magazine" and the second superstar to appear on the cover of the Asian version of "Time Magazine".

That's right, being recognized by overseas authoritative media such as Time Magazine, Cao Xuan can already be called a superstar.

Regardless of other factors, only in terms of fame, Cao Xuan has already become one of the top Chinese entertainment circles.

It is said to be an exclusive interview, but many things are mainly introductions, and there are not many real conversations.

Cao Xuan was very calm when facing the deputy editor-in-chief of "Times Weekly", which surprised the deputy editor-in-chief.

"Cao, why are you not nervous?"

"First, don't call me Cao, it's ambiguous in our country, and second, it's just an interview, why should I be nervous."

As soon as Cao Xuan heard someone call him "Cao", his blood pressure went up. This surname is too difficult to pronounce alone, but "Xuan" can't be pronounced by foreigners. He is thinking about whether to give him an English name.

Otherwise, if there is a concert abroad one day, tens of thousands of people will shout "CAO" at him at the top of their voices.

The picture is too beautiful to imagine!
The deputy editor did not bother with the name, but continued to ask: "I have interviewed some Asian stars, even European and American stars, and when they realize that they are about to land on the cover of "Time Magazine", they will feel nervous to varying degrees.

But I don't see it in you at all, don't you think it's an honor. "

"Maybe, I'm actually quite happy, but I'm not too nervous. In my opinion, this is just an interview, and there is no need to go to war."

"Cao, I have to say that I admire your mentality."

The deputy editor-in-chief had a look of admiration, feeling that Cao Xuan was flattered and had the air of a general.

But what he didn't know was that shortly after he left, when Cao Xuan rushed to the hotel conference room to accept another interview, he didn't see the calmness just now, and his expression was slightly dignified——

"News Link"

How should I put it, "Time" may have been eagerly thinking about it when it was not published, but if it is confirmed to be a cover character, it feels like that.

Besides, it was another interview with the paper media, and Warner had his back, so there was really nothing to be nervous about.

But "News Lianbo" is different, facing [-] to [-] million viewers, and even being seen by some bigwigs, can Cao Xuan not be nervous.

Two consecutive successful overseas concerts in Singapore and Malaysia have confirmed the influence of Cao Xuan's Asian king,

He is here for preparation, mainly talking about his thoughts on this trip to Asia, and then vigorously advocating the promotion of Chinese pop culture blah blah.

In the evening, Cao Xuan took a look, mainly introduced the concert, and then switched to the interview with Cao Xuan. The ten-minute video was edited to only a few tens of seconds, which is the part where Cao Xuan advocated the promotion of Chinese culture.

This is the most important thing!
In Cao Xuan's heart, this 1-minute report is more valuable than appearing on the cover of "Time Magazine"...
