Chapter 200 Five songs from the album "Chinese Wind"
In late February, Cao Xuan and the president of PepsiCo Asia attended the signing ceremony.

That night, the picture of Cao Xuan holding a Pepsi in his left hand and showing his thumb in his right hand made the headlines of many newspapers.

It also means that Cao Xuan's drink in public for the next three years will be this Fat House Happy Water, but Cao Xuan is a Pepsi party in the first place, so he has no doubts about this request.

Pepsi yyds!

After signing the contract, Cao Xuan took a day to cooperate with Pepsi to take various photos, which were reserved for the brand's promotion. In addition, he also had to cooperate with the filming of two commercials in the follow-up.

One is his solo advertisement, and the other is a joint advertisement with Guo Tianwang, Wang Fei, and Chen Huilin.

There is also an ad, Pepsi plans to let Cao Xuan and Britney Spears, who is so popular in Europe and America, shoot an ad together.

Cao Xuan is a popular musician in Asia, and Britney is the queen of European and American pop music.

Both of them are top-level singers of the new generation, and they both happen to be under the Pepsi banner. If they are not bundled together for hype, Pepsi's advertising department will be sorry for their salary.

Of course, this plan is still under preparation. Even if both Britney and Cao Xuan agree, the schedule and advertising method must also be considered.

These three commercials are not all. According to the contract, Cao Xuan will guarantee to shoot more than five commercials in the past three years, and he will try his best to cooperate with Pepsi in any advertising cooperation in the future.

There is no way, 1500 million is not so easy to get, how much money you get, you have to work hard.

Moreover, Pepsi's promotion ability is extremely strong, and many advertisements have an impact not only in Asia, but even in the world, which is of great benefit to Cao Xuan.

This time Pepsi signed the contract, neither party deliberately publicized the amount of endorsement fees.

Cao Xuan wanted to keep a low profile, while Pepsi mainly considered other spokespersons and didn't want to make any side effects.

But this is a big contract after all, and the number of people involved in the negotiation operation is no less than three digits, and the reporter has exhausted his mind to dig for information, so it is difficult to keep it completely secret.

As a result, the approximate amount of the endorsement fee was dug out.

How should I put it, after all, there are seven wolves laying the groundwork, and this number is still within the acceptable range of everyone, but this does not mean that everyone is not surprised.

What a concept of 2001 million in 1500.

The best place in the capital, hehehehe every day, you can play until you die.

If you are in poor health, you might lose half of the 1500 million when you die...

Reporters began to report Boss Cao’s wealth myth. Cao Xuan pretended to be dead every day. In the poor areas of Fujian and Sichuan provinces, four Hope Primary Schools under construction have quietly appeared.

All are high-level construction, windproof, waterproof, fireproof and shockproof. The foundation under Cao Xuan sent two groups of people to watch over the construction and acceptance.

The cost of such a primary school must be much higher than that of ordinary hope primary schools. Some people suggested that Cao Xuan was unnecessary, but Cao Xuan resisted it on the grounds that safety was the first priority.

No matter which province they are in, including the six previously built in Lu Province, all the May 6th primary schools built by the charity foundation under the name of Cao Xuan all use the same materials.

In addition to these three provinces, Cao Xuan also donated some money to some hope primary schools in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi and other southwestern provinces through charitable funds.

And based on the real feedback from various impoverished mountainous areas in these places, formulate a grand strategy for the charity foundation to give priority to Southwest China.

To be honest, Cao Xuan's original intention of charity was not very bright.

But looking at the photos taken by the staff from some Hope Primary Schools, looking at those children with ignorant eyes, yellow and thin faces, and tattered clothes, it is hard not to be touched.

Even if it is for his family and himself to accumulate blessings, he is willing to help others more within the scope of his ability.

This time Cao Xuan didn't deliberately promote it. To put it bluntly, it would be fake if he kept talking about charity.

If the public is discussing how much money Cao Xuan can make as a star, and the limelight is wrong, then charity is the biggest counterattack weapon.

However, there is no relevant negative trend from the outside world, and Cao Xuan will not show it off. He does things in silence, and it will be even more valuable to be revealed in the future.

.........

After cooperating with Pepsi's preliminary work, the Spring Festival Gala and the concert are all over. Cao Xuan, who has been busy for a year, finally has a short break.

It can't be regarded as a rest, he still has to keep an eye on the progress of "The Family of Gold Fans", he also has to work on the new album, and he will have to attend the promotion of "Swordsman" soon.

But at least you don't have to hurry to catch up with the schedule, and many things can be arranged freely.

For Cao Xuan, who is always so busy that he never touches the ground, it is already a rare "leisure".

Back from get off work today, I picked up Zeng Li from the Chinese Opera. When passing by a street corner, Cao Xuan put on a mask and hat and got out of the car.

"What did you buy?"

"Forbidden film."

"Pooh."

Zeng Li blushed and spat, thinking it was the little movie they watched before.

As a result, I opened it and took a look at "Ultraman Leo", "Ultraman Jack" and "Ultraman Taro".

Cao Xuan also had a look of pity, "Ultraman Tiga" is sold very little now, and many stall owners don't have it. It is a good product that even Baidu Netdisk can't see.

He is a little hesitant now, whether to make "Armor Warrior" or not, but he was reported and blocked...

When he got home, Cao Xuan disassembled the beef he had bought in advance, cut it up, blanched it, put the ingredients in it, and started to stew it.

Zeng Li cooks corn and sweet potatoes. This girl, Yuan Shikong, has some reasons for staying in shape. She has been a vegetarian since 05.

Now under the influence of Cao Xuan, I don't have the idea of ​​becoming a vegetarian for the time being, but for the sake of my body, I don't dare to eat more high-calorie foods.

When Cao Xuan made beef, he had to cook a special portion of boiled beef for her, and then braised the rest for himself.

In contrast, Hu Jing also cares about her figure, but she is not as ruthless as Zeng Li, she can keep her mouth shut, and she is a solid foodie.

So I had no choice but to move my legs if I couldn't control my mouth.

Every day, Hu Jing spends as much time as possible on fitness + yoga, coupled with years of dancing skills, she maintains a good figure.

After eating and drinking enough, the two exercised and chatted.

"My next album, there is a song you sing with me."

"I?"

Zeng Li was stunned for a few seconds before shaking his head again and again: "I don't sing, it's not like you don't know that I sing badly."

Cao Xuan couldn't help laughing, Zeng Damei Yan Liang's acting skills are good, but her singing is so good.

In fact, her singing is not bad, but she sings too much, and sometimes she can't help but have a bit of drama.

It's not the kind of magic reform like Lao Guo, who takes away the original singer, but the high-pitched voice that can't be restrained when singing, singing pop songs as operas.

Before, Cao Xuan, Zeng Li, Wang Fei and a few friends went to KTV together. Zeng Li couldn't help but sing "Red Bean" in front of his idol.

The melody is the same, the key is also there, and it's not unpleasant, but the voice is too high, it sounds awkward, it's not like "Red Bean", it's like "Red Bean Cake", which directly confuses Wang Fei.

This has also become the black history of Zeng Damei, the kind who turned his face and bit people when Cao Xuan mentioned it.

"It's not a song, it's more like a drama, or an opera tone. Have you heard of "One Night in the Capital"? It feels a bit like that, pop + opera."

"It sounds very interesting. I'll try it later. What's the name of the song?"

Cao Xuan whispered two words: ""Red Ling"."

Regarding the album "Chinese Style", Cao Xuan has great ambitions. He is not limited to the original definition of Chinese style in the original time and space, and even wants to cover all ancient styles and opera accents in one go, completely establishing a school.

As for later, Cao Xuan didn't care how to distinguish between ancient style, opera style, national style, and Chinese style. Anyway, he took the founder's name, and he couldn't get around him no matter how he divided it.

Chinese style songs are naturally the representative works of my younger brother Jay Chou.

"Blue and White Porcelain" and "Dongfeng Break", the two pinnacle works of Chinese style, Cao Xuan, have all been plucked, and the name of Chinese style must be thoroughly launched.

The third and fourth songs are "Broken Bridge Remnant Snow" and "Luzhou Moon" by Wu Gao.

Xiao Zhou was also plucked, Xiao Lin was also plucked, Xiao Wang was queuing up, and it was Xiao Xu's turn.

These two songs can be regarded as Wu Gao's masterpieces of Chinese style, and can even be said to be the two most popular songs, so Cao Xuan naturally followed them.

It is worth mentioning that the lyrics of "Luzhou Moon" are somewhat inconsistent. This song is about the separation of hometown and friends.

After all, Cao Xuan is not from Heshi, so he can't copy the whole text, he must change it.

Now there are roughly two directions. One is to change Luzhou to Lanling, and modify the related lyrics to "Lanling Moon".

The opening sentence "I stole someone's light by chiseling a wall when I was a child" happens to be an allusion from his hometown, which is extremely convenient.

The other direction is to remove the relevant nostalgic elements in the story, and define the song as friends going their separate ways, but this changes the whole idea of ​​the song to a certain extent.

In contrast, Cao Xuan was more inclined to the former, changing "Luzhou Moon" to "Lanling Moon".

As for the debate about whether Zaoshi counts as Lanling or not, Cao Xuan no longer wants to deal with it. He can't write "Zaoshi Moon", right?

In addition to these two songs being included in the "Chinese Style" album, Cao Xuan's other popular album released this year has also basically selected "Grey Head" as a default.

This song is mainly for the promotion of QQ, the quality itself is slightly inferior.

So Cao Xuan is still considering whether to take Wu Gao to become famous for "Su Yan"...

As for "Chi Ling", even though the ancient style opera tune is so bad, it still received extremely high praise and was sung, which shows the quality of its songs.

In addition, the feelings expressed in the song itself are quite good, so after several considerations, Cao Xuan used it as the pioneering work of his ancient opera tune.

In fact, drama tune + pop is not new, like the previous "One Night in Beijing" has Peking Opera elements, those who play rock music, maybe similar songs.

But the ancient style + opera tune, for the time being, almost no one touches it. In the original time and space, the drama tune that really made a big splash is Li Yugang's "The Drunken Concubine".

Reverse series + drama, Li Yugang instantly became popular all over the country.

At that time, the Chinese style was in vogue, so the model of Chinese style + opera tune began to be popular. In the peak period, out of ten ancient style songs, nine capitals were all opera tunes.

So at this stage, Cao Xuan is very optimistic about the prospect of the song "Chi Ling".

In fact, Cao Xuan can also sing opera tunes. After all, as I said before, Peking opera is a family tradition, coupled with the background of professional singers, opera tunes are really not difficult for him.

The reason for letting Zeng Li come is mainly for the consideration of the MV.

At that time, he plans to let Zeng Li play the heroine, that is, the actor in the lyrics, to match the plot, and when the time comes to have her singing in the opera, it will be more shocking.

In addition to this version of mixed singing, he will sing another version of solo, and listen to whichever one the fans like.

　It's a little late to check the information, I have also read everyone's opinions, and I will give an approximate update time in the future, sorry
