China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 285 I don't want to be a national husband
If the reporters knew that Cao Xuan's goal was to be the Billboard champion, they might think he was crazy.

Even some of the reporters who had expectations for Cao Xuan were only optimistic that Cao Xuan would respond, gain a firm foothold, and take the opportunity to break into Hollywood.

A small number of people who knew about the bulletin board only hoped that Cao Xuan could enter the list. As for the champion, they didn't even dare to think about it.

It is not uncommon for Asian singers to hit the US market. Cao Xuan is backed by Warner, and behind the others are EMI, Sony and other big records.

But what about grades?
The singers who can enter the billboard list can be counted on both hands, and the highest record does not exceed the top [-], or even the top [-].

It's fine for Cao Xuan to be popular in the Chinese music scene, but as a Chinese, is it possible that he can still be popular in Europe and the United States?

And Cao Xuan wouldn't be so stupid as to say what was in his heart, he hadn't written his horoscope yet, if he got off the hook, he would be ashamed of himself.

Announcing and preparing to impact the European and American music scene, this press conference has also come to an end, and the reporters left reluctantly and excitedly.

It's not in vain this time, it's all big news that can be counted!

After the meeting was over, Cao Xuan had dinner with a few Warner executives. The US still needed their help, and it was best to get closer.

The EP will land in the United States at the end of February, and Cao Xuan will choose to leave for the United States in March. On the one hand, he will promote the EP, and on the other hand, he will be a guest star in "The Matrix 2".

The time in the United States depends on the response of the EP, but it should not exceed April, because "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" will be launched in May, and Cao Xuan will be in place.

Shocking the music scene in Europe and America is a hit, but Cao Xuan is very clear about where his real fundamentals lie.

Cao Xuan is actually not particularly adapted to life abroad. He has been abroad a few times. Despite the novel experience, he still feels an indescribable alienation and strangeness.

So unless necessary work, he prefers to be in China, everything is so familiar and friendly, and he sleeps more securely and sweetly than abroad.

In fact, the EP has been basically completed now, and now it is mainly part of the MV shooting.

After pondering for a long time, Cao Xuan decided to use Chinese actors, that is, Hu Jing and Zeng Li. Lao Tzu's MV is the master's decision, and he will praise his own wife.

But that being said, in fact, these three MVs are mainly about Cao Xuan himself, Zeng Li and Hu Jing don't appear much, and even "Natural" is the only one starring him.

It is worth noting that the prototype of the song "Numb" itself is a girl, but after Cao Xuan thought about it, he is still the protagonist of the story, which still fits the meaning of the lyrics.

This is not because Cao Xuan eats alone, but because he is a fledgling in Europe and the United States, with limited resources, so it is best to focus on Cao Xuan alone.

When he becomes popular, he will naturally not forget the two daughters-in-law...

.........

Cao Xuan was busy working on the MV, and the domestic media also successively published relevant reports about the press conference, which immediately stirred up waves.

The first is the sky-high signing fee of 1 million.

In this era of crazy pursuit of wealth myths, Cao Xuan has undoubtedly become the most dazzling star among them.

In the 2002 Forbes list of China's richest people, CITIC Rongjia ranked first, with assets of about 80 billion, while the 20th to [-]th richest people ranked only about [-] billion.

Cao Xuan won nearly 1/20 of the assets of China's top [-] for a single signing fee, which is terrifying.

Many people are curious about Cao Xuan's current assets and his approximate ranking in the Forbes list.

Many financial media are tracking and calculating, but Cao Xuan's current assets have undergone a series of reorganizations, and it is difficult for outsiders to obtain accurate data, so they can only give a rough estimate.

8.5 billion!
This number seems to be quite a lot, but in fact it is not even half of Cao Xuan's.

Now the most valuable thing in Cao Xuan's hand is not Penguin or Fanxing, but the agency rights of "Legend of Hot Blood" box game, and the equity of the two Korean companies behind "Legend of Hot Blood".

Since November last year, "Hot Blood Legend" has become more and more popular, and it has become the number one game in major Internet cafes.

Now, the single-day turnover of "Hot Blood Legend" has exceeded 50 million from 100.

Let’s put it this way, in January, the net profit of box games alone was close to 1 million, and this figure may quadruple in February.

The money rushing to his pocket made Cao Xuan sour and also a little terrified.

Too much money comes too fast, and it's easy to be scared, too unreal...

Nowadays, Shanda has already kicked off distribution agents, and is preparing to directly cooperate with Internet cafes on a large scale to establish distribution channels. By then, the income of "Legend of Hot Blood" may reach another level.

As an agent on the bright side, Shanda's market value has soared, and now it has easily exceeded 5 million and is heading towards the 10 billion mark.

Even if there is Shanda blocking it, the box will inevitably enter the eyes of some caring people.

Although they don't know the share ratio between Box and Shanda, judging from various indications, the share of Box will not be too small, at least above 30%.

As a result, Box Games has also successfully been valued at hundreds of millions, which has now exceeded the value of Cao Xuan's current shareholding in Penguin.

If the box game publicizes 60% of the interest in "Legend of Hot Blood", then the valuation may soon exceed 10 billion.

Cao Xuan, who is 100% owned by Box Game, naturally has a skyrocketing net worth, and all his assets are public. Even if he doesn't make it to the top ten of the Forbes list, it is not far behind.

But after all, it is not a listed company, and the valuation of market value is very false, and Cao Xuan didn't really take it seriously.

But Cao Xuan understands why these people like to play with financial capital. As long as it is linked to the capital market, the money is not considered money.

The hundreds of millions and billions at every turn made Cao Xuan dazzled. Thanks to his golden fingers, he saw through the essence behind it. Although his mentality was ups and downs, he was still stable.

Another lucky person who suddenly became rich, seeing this scene, was directly confused and confused, maybe thinking that he was the proud son of heaven...

However, Cao Xuan doesn't take 8.5 million "in his eyes", but in the eyes of others.

This man surnamed Cao looks like the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!

Even in the eyes of many people, Cao Xuan is already the top richest man in China.

From a rural boy who hid in the basement and ate steamed buns, now he has become China's top rich man + Asian superstar, "Chicken Soup for the Soul" is ready to write inspirational stories for Cao Xuan.

"Friends" and "Yi Lin" are still close, but this is not because Cao Xuan is not enough, it is mainly because of his nationality. If he is an immigrant, he can be on the board.

In this era of worshiping success and wealth, Cao Xuan may not be called Father Cao, but he is more or less like a national husband.

A related website conducted a questionnaire survey, interviewing the man that female netizens most want to marry.

曹轩在20~25、25~30、30~35的三个年龄段的共计6万多名女性的选项里分别位列第一、第一和第一。

The reason for choosing him is handsome + rich is the top priority, and the second is that I am his fan/movie fan.

But what is more confusing is that the reason why nearly 5000 people chose it is: Cao Xuan is too beautiful, and conquering him gives a sense of accomplishment.

Sure enough, men like to make good technicians, and women also like to turn scumbags into dogs...

It can also be concluded from this survey that Cao Xuan is now the top diamond king and fifth son, and Hu Jing and Zeng Li's love rivals have expanded from the entertainment circle and Cao Xuan's fan base to every corner of the country.

There are not tens of millions of women in the whole country who miss him, but millions.

The east and west palaces are under great pressure, even Zeng Mu, the mother-in-law, feels the pressure. After all, there are many women who want to be Cao Xuan's daughter-in-law, and there are also many women who want to be Cao Xuan's mother-in-law.

For becoming a "national husband", Cao Xuan is very calm, even a little disgusted.

After all, someone like Young Master Wang can become a "national husband". Now that he is given this title, Cao Xuan always feels that he is scolding himself.

If he really wants to shout, he doesn't want to be a husband, he wants to be a father...

The continuous wealth exposure made Cao Xuan no longer trembling like he just got rich. He has already accumulated enough self-protection capital and the ability to control public opinion, so he will not worry about being hung up.

Of course, he's still trying to keep his fortune quiet while keeping his philanthropy in mind.

This is his most powerful weapon to counteract the negative gaze brought about by skyrocketing assets.

This time Cao Xuan's net worth skyrocketed, and he also had a lot of cash in hand, so he directly made a big move.

He plans to let the Tomorrow Charity Foundation under his name cooperate with the Departments of Education, Civil Affairs and other departments of the four southwest provinces and the northwest provinces to promote the "May [-]th Tomorrow Plan".

It is estimated that within three to five years, one hundred high-standard Hope Primary Schools will be built in several provinces.

The scale of this plan can be said to be very large, and the funds used are likely to reach hundreds of millions.

Although it cost a lot of money, Cao Xuan told the truth, the money for "Legend of Hot Blood" was too easy to come by, and it was a bit of a thing, Cao Xuan felt hot.

Taking part of it for charity can not only reduce stress, but the most important thing is to build a golden body.

More than 100 hope primary schools, this is more than 100 amulets, and it is also more than 100 slaps to question his assets.

You are awesome, donate a school before you talk!

Cao Xuan is now doing these charitable acts in silence, without much publicity, even for related ceremonies, he rarely attends, and hardly accepts related interviews, his low-key is eye-catching.

It is also this kind of low-key, the more people who understand Cao Xuan's charity work, the more difficult it is to restrain their admiration for Cao Xuan.

The 1 million signing fee this time, although it caused a lot of turmoil, is relatively positive on the whole. It is mainly to make money from the Yankees, so everyone has nothing to say.

That being the case, Cao Xuan put aside all the relevant reports he had prepared, and instead focused on the outside world's views on his entry into the European and American music scene.

How should I put it, aside from Cao Xuan's fans, just counting the opinions of passers-by, more than 50% are unfavorable, more than 20% are not optimistic, and the remaining 30% are considered positive.

And these positive comments are relatively cautious on the whole. There is no way, Chinese singers have not successfully entered the European and American music scene.

Last year, Li Wen brought two English albums to the United States, and performed at the Oscars.

But as a result, this year, he went back to China to develop honestly. Although he was labeled as an international star, everyone knows how much money he has.

Wang Fei, Zhang Tianwang, and Zhang Guorong have all tried to enter the European and American music scene more or less, but they all responded mediocrely and did not achieve real success.

Although they sometimes go to Europe and the United States to hold concerts, a careful study shows that the scale of these European and American concerts is relatively small, and most of the audience are overseas Chinese.

There may be individual songs out of the circle, but it is difficult for singers to transfer the attention brought by the songs to themselves and maintain them stably for a long time.

With so many failed examples ahead, the public lacks confidence in Cao Xuan, and they don't think he can break through this shackles, and some even made ridicule...
