China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 263: The Asian King?Now is the impact Chinese superstar
The album "四" became popular without any surprise.

The popularity is comparable to "Chinese Style", and the sales volume is even slightly better. The first week's sales reached 50, which is comparable to "Bright Stars".

Some of the sales here come from passers-by and pirate fans.

The songs in the album "[-]" are so full of stories, which make people think about it and make people feel emotional. Even some senior prostitutes make an exception and spend money to collect it.

It can be said that it is basically a certainty that this album will break one million in a single month.

Countless Chinese singers have achieved the highest peak of their career with an album breaking one million, but Cao Xuan did it in one month, and three times.

And not long ago, Cao Xuan just beat Wang Fei's album of the same name "Wang Fei" with "Bright Stars", and won the annual sales champion of the Chinese music album for the fourth time.

Completed the four consecutive kills in the sales volume of Chinese albums from 1998 to 2001.

And if you leave "四" aside and only calculate the total sales of all Cao Xuan's albums in 2001, Cao Xuan is almost approaching 500 million, and he is still the well-deserved champion of the Chinese music scene.

Even the album sales of nearly 500 million in a single year can be regarded as the top achievement in the world.

Some people may be dissatisfied with saying that Cao Xuan is the number one in Chinese music creation. Some people may be dissatisfied with saying that Cao Xuan is the number one singer.

Cao Xuan's title in the Chinese music scene is... Well, the title of the king of sales is getting louder and louder.

In addition to sales, the album chart is also very strong.

Many people are on-demand for the songs "Your Answer" and "Long Time No See" in a loop, so that several songs hit the charts crazily, which in turn conflicted with the songs that dominated the charts before.

From 2001 to 2002 at the turn of the New Year, "Chinese Style" still maintained sufficient dominance. Xiao Zhou, Sun Yanzi, Wang Lihong, and F4 each maintained a certain status with the support of their fans.

On the contrary, "Bright Stars", under the impact of rounds of new songs, slowly withdrew from the top ten stage.

It’s not that these songs are not classics, but after all, they have been popular for more than a year. In addition, the two new albums “Chinese Style” and “四” were on the charts, and almost 95% of Cao Xuan’s fans were taken away. It's hard to get to the top of the leaderboard.

But even so, some songs of "Bright Stars" still rank between 10 and 30, and occasionally a few songs return to the top ten.

In addition to the above-mentioned songs, Wang Fei's title song "Fleeing Years" firmly occupies a position in the top ten.

"Is there a song that reminds you of me" by Zhou Huajian, the heavenly king of Taiwan, is not weak.

There is also the theme song "Forever and Forever" of the TV series "Fengyun".

With the popularity of the mainland premiere of "Fengyun" TV series, Zhao Wenzhuo, He Rundong, Chiba Shinichi, Jiang Qinqin and other leading actors are very popular, and this theme song has also become a frequent guest on the charts.

"Dao Ma Dan" written by Li Wen, the queen of Taiwan, was written by Xiao Zhou and Fang Wenshan. It can be regarded as a Chinese style song, but it is a fast song that Xiao Zhou is good at.

Because Cao Xuanzhuyu was in the front, focusing on the aesthetic and lyrical Chinese style, Xiao Zhou changed his creative direction, combining the Chinese style with his own fast song Rap, and tried to create his own Chinese style.

"Dao Ma Dan" is an attempt, just in time to catch up with the popularity of Chinese style and "Chi Ling", this song still received a lot of attention.

Hong Kong girl group Twins released their first album, the title song "Love Is Over the Sky" is particularly popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and is also well-known in mainland China.

After all, who can refuse two pure and lovely young beauties, men like it, even girls like it.

At the same time, the popularity of F4, Yuquan, Shuimunianhua, Mayday, Snake Tuan, Twins and other groups has also made the Chinese music scene start a group craze.

Large and small record and entertainment companies are making some singing or singing and dancing groups, like Warner Records, and now they are thinking about building the Feier Orchestra.

Even within Fanxing, some people suggested that Cao Xuan should form a group.

According to Cao Xuan's creative ability and Fanxing's connections in the music industry, it is not difficult to make a group popular.

F4 is so lucrative, everyone is jealous.

This plan was temporarily suppressed by Cao Xuan. Although he did not agree, he did not directly kill him.

He wasn't sure if he would be an idol group or not, but this incident reminded Cao Xuan of another legendary group.

It's 2002, and the era of CRBT is approaching.

This is a super big mine that the three major communication companies are all talking about. Cao Xuan doesn't talk about taking a share of the pie, but drinking soup is also very satisfying.

The above songs became popular in the last few months of last year.

In addition, the most popular song in January this year, apart from Cao Xuan's "Si", there is also a new song by the band Zero.

MLM Divine Comedy, High School Canteen Charge, "Legend" must-have bgm for siege, one of the chicken blood songs for the college entrance examination, exclusive for KTV Maiba, the song of the sports meeting - "Believe in Yourself"

There are two theories about the creation background of this song, one is that it was written for the national football team to enter the World Cup, and the other is that it was written by the CBA upon invitation, and it has indeed become one of the theme songs of the CBA.

In the current situation where rock and roll is sluggish and the band is struggling, Wu Tian... no, Zhou Xiaoou and the zero band once again uttered the cry of rock and roll.

It's a pity that it's still hard to hide the overall situation. Later, the lead singer Zhou Xiaoou also left the band and went to Luteng City to become the king of guns.

But in any case, this inspirational divine comedy gave everyone a shot of chicken blood together with "Your Answer" in early 2002.

With so many classic songs, one can imagine how fierce the rankings are, and it is another fight between gods and gods.

Cao Xuan's two blockbuster albums "Chinese Style" and "Si" worked together to suppress this group of singers.

"Blue and White Porcelain", "Dongfeng Break", "Long Time No See", "Your Answer", "Red Ling", "Sea of ​​Stars", "The Rest of My Life"

Seven out of ten!

It looks awesome, but many fans have ridiculed Cao Xuan for having achieved the results of two albums.

Other singers: MMP
"Passed singer" Cao Xuan not only declined in performance, but the songs on the charts once again sparked internal strife.

Previously, "Dongfeng Po" and "Blue and White Porcelain" competed for the top spot, but this time it became a battle of songs from the two albums of "Chinese Style" and "Si".

"Chinese Style" was released early and has a great influence, firmly occupying the forefront position. Fans who like the songs of the "[-]" album feel dissatisfied and order it to hit the list.

The most popular of the two albums are "Blue and White Porcelain", "Dongfeng Po" and "Your Answer" and "Long Time No See".

However, compared to the complete Cao Xuan civil war last time, Xiao Zhou's "Nunchaku" this year has also faintly joined the battle.

Although it was not a threat yet, under the general trend of Cao Xuan sweeping everything and overpowering all heroes, Xiao Zhou was able to join it, and he had already seen his popularity and potential.

In addition, Xiao Zhou is also a singer-songwriter, so he is naturally given high hopes.

Especially in Taiwanese media, [Southern Ren Beicao], which was so loud before, is constantly reducing its exposure. In contrast, [Northern Cao Nanzhou] is gradually appearing in large numbers in the media.

But just like when Cao Xuan touched porcelain and Ren Xianqi was ridiculed by the crowd, Xiao Zhou's current size is tied with Cao Xuan, and he has naturally become the output point of many people.

This Cao Xuan also cannot be changed.

At the beginning, he was ridiculed and became popular bit by bit. With his achievements, he blocked everyone's mouths, and finally contributed to the era of [South Ren Bei Cao] after the [Four Heavenly Kings].

If Xiao Zhou wants to replace Ren Xianqi as [Southern Zhou], he has to show his achievements and turn ridicule into approval like Cao Xuan did back then.

But speaking of it, [Southern Ren Beicao] was the loudest from 1998 to the first half of 2000.

After "Bright Stars" became a god, the rising Cao Xuan and Ren Xianqi who gradually began to decline have separated, and the saying of "South Ren Bei Cao" has gradually become rare, and everyone only talks about Cao Xuan.

Sometimes, Cao Xuan kind of misses the feeling that one south and one north are tied for the top...

.........

"Bright Stars" made Cao Xuan a god in the music scene, and now the popularity of "Chinese Style" and "Si" has further stabilized his position.

"Chinese Style" opened up a new genre of Chinese pop music.

The songs of "四" have a certain depth, both popularity and connotation.

As long as you are a music-loving domestic fan, you may not like this person, but it is absolutely impossible that you have not heard his songs. Cao Xuan's music has a wide influence even among Chinese in Asia and even the world.

From this point of view, even the title of King of Asia may not be able to hold him well, Cao Xuan is marching towards the ranks of Chinese superstars...

On this occasion, Cao Xuan has also become a favorite in the eyes of countless people.

In an interview with the media a few days ago, Sony (China) Chairman Zheng Tianhong said that Cao Xuan is a legendary talent in the Chinese music scene.

His commercial value and influence are unique among active Chinese singers, and there are only two or three people in Asia who can stand side by side, and even hope to become the only existence in Asia.

Zheng Tianhong's words couldn't conceal his appreciation, and he also directly showed the intention of soliciting.

The contract between Cao Xuan and Warner will expire after the Spring Festival, and the major record companies are gearing up, especially Sony.

In fact, from the beginning of 97, when they wanted to sign Cao Xuan, they were cut off by Warner. Sony never gave up on chasing Cao Xuan.

At the beginning of last year, Sony offered a signing fee of 8000 million.

Now that "Chinese Style" and "Four" have achieved great success, and it is also a critical moment for Warner and Cao Xuan to expire. Sony even offered a sky-high price of 1 million signing fees and related generous contracts.

As long as Cao Xuan signs a contract with Sony, there will be no additional conditions other than the normal contract, and they will directly pay 1 million signing fees, and Sony promises to help Cao Xuan enter the Japanese, European and American markets.

Sony's sincerity is not lacking. Even Cao Xuan, who has always used Sony as a bargaining chip with Warner, is really tempted by Sony, the "dog licking dog" he has been pursuing.

1 million signing fee.

After 20 years, it will be regarded as a sky-high signing fee. Now it is almost equivalent to giving Cao Xuan a dozen sets of courtyard houses with three inputs and three outputs.

Cao Xuan is not short of money, but he can't stand such a blow...
