Chapter 298 Who can tell me, where did this Chris Cao come from?

San Francisco, U.S
Tom sat around a beautiful blonde girl and asked with a big face.

"Tucie, let's go to Usher's concert on Sunday, my treat."

Tuss glanced at Tom, and said impatiently, "I hate Usher, I only like Britney."

"No problem, next time Britney comes to San Francisco, I'll invite you to see it."

"talk later."

Tusi said casually, so she saw a strong white man who was nearly [-] walking out of the school gate with surprise on his face, but then looked at the two girls surrounding the strong man, and couldn't help being furious.

"Bichi, turn the corner of my old lady!"

Tusi rushed over to take an oath of sovereignty, and drove away the two girls. The little bird hugged the strong man with a smile like a flower.

The two left together, and Tussy answered briskly and happily in the breeze blowing from the sea: "Usher? No problem, my dear, I like whatever you like."

Tom: "..."

Jerry, who had been staying not far away, came over and patted his good brother on the shoulder, which was not consoling, because consolation was useless.

He had seen double digits in similar situations, but Tom was so determined that he didn't bother to care about them anymore.

"I want to drink."

After a moment of silence, Tom's low voice sounded, and Jerry spread his hands: "Dude, we are high school students, no one will sell us wine."

Tom gave Jerry a sad look, and Jerry sighed: "Okay, let's go to my house and steal a few bottles from my house. My dad shouldn't find out."

Tom followed Jerry home, and he waited at the door. Jerry slipped into the house, and within 5 minutes, he really panicked and came out with a cloth bag.

"Let's go, let's go."

A little farther away from home, the two breathed a sigh of relief, and began to open the wine and drink while walking on the road.

The United States is very strict on underage drinking. If you want to buy alcohol or cigarettes, you must show your ID, which is similar to an American ID card. Stores under the age of 21 will not sell them. Violators will be fined heavily.

The same is true in bars, people will also look at your age, if you are not old enough, you will wear a ring on your wrist, and you will not sell alcohol.

Of course, there are policies and countermeasures. There are too many underage alcoholics in the United States. They can’t buy it themselves, but they can ask adults to buy it. As long as they want to drink, they can always find a way.

Tom and Jerry can also be regarded as "old alcoholics". Ever since Tom was injured by Tuss once, he accidentally felt the feeling of getting drunk to relieve his worries. Since then, he has to use alcohol to numb himself every time he is injured.

As a good brother, Jerry drank with him. In fact, he actually wanted to drink himself. It was an excuse.

How to put it, the stricter the prohibition, the easier it is to arouse rebellion, especially young Americans, who advocate freedom.

The more they prevent them from underage drinking, the more they think it is a cool thing. If you are really a good baby, you will be looked down upon by your peers.

The two love to drink, but their drinking capacity is very average. Jerry is okay, barely at the level of normal people, and Tom is an out-and-out rookie.

After two cans of beer, Tom started to go up, crying with snot and tears.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Is it the vice-captain's... why does Tusi like him and not me..."

Jerrypin smacked Tom's words. If he were Tusi, he would easily choose between the two.

But I definitely can't dismantle my brother's platform, so I persuaded him.

"Brother, you are more infatuated than Spike. You have always liked Tuss. He is a playboy. How many women have changed in the past two years? I heard that he would not let Tuss's cousin go. Believe me, Tuss Sooner or later, we will see his true colors."

Tom nodded, but for some reason, he cried even more sadly when he heard that Tusi's 36E cousin had been murdered...

At this moment, the audio-visual store that the two happened to pass by suddenly heard a burst of clear melody and singing.

"...

My love is pure
My love is so pure.

I saw an angel
Because I have seen angels.

Of that I'm sure
I have no doubts about this
……

She was with another man
Although there is another man by my side

……

You're beautiful, You're beautiful
you are so beautiful, you are so beautiful

You're beautiful, it's true
You are so beautiful, it is true
......"

Tom's eyes were straightened when he heard the song, and he couldn't help crying on Jerry's body after singing.

"You and I can never be together, woo woo woo, that's the feeling, my Tusi, ah, my heart is about to break..."

Looking at the doubtful, clear, meaningful eyes of passers-by on the four streets, Jerry's scalp tingled, but he was embarrassed to push Tom away.

He could only stand stiffly, but with his arms wide open to show his innocence.

As a result, the eyes of passers-by became even more strange. There was also a Latina girl who gave them a thumbs up.

"come on!"

Jerry swears, if it weren't for the inconvenient movement now, he couldn't help but give this girl a big pussy, what the hell is he thinking about.

Tom cried for a while, calmed down somewhat, and then rushed straight into the video store.

"Who sang the song just now, give me a copy."

The owner of the audio-visual store was a little surprised when he saw Tom's tears streaming down his face, but he was also an old man, and he calmed down quickly after seeing many scenes.

"A new EP by an Asian artist, the price tag is on the shelf."

Following the guidance of the boss, Tom got the EP, which showed an Asian young man playing the guitar on the stage and roaring. The name on the cover of the EP was the same as the name of the singer.

"Chris Tsao": Chris Tsao
No, singer Chris Tsao added two Chinese characters that Tom couldn't understand—Cao Xuan.

"Chris Chao... I seem to have seen this name somewhere, and this face is also familiar."

Tom fell into memory, but Jerry, who followed behind, had a better memory and recognized him at a glance.

"It's the Chinese swordsman who knows "The Lonely Ninth Set of Swordsmanship", the one who shot the commercial with Britney."

"Cao, I remembered it. It turns out that he is still a singer. The song just now was so good, it literally sang my heart."

Tom, who already had a crush on Cao Xuan, felt a sense of fate when he heard that the song that moved him was also sung by Cao Xuan.

But there is one thing to say, although the song "You're Beautiful" is a sad song, the lyrics can't express the love for a woman.

The protagonist in the lyrics sees a beautiful woman by accident. He admires her beauty, but he can’t own it. He can only watch the woman leave with others, but he doesn’t feel sorry for it, because it’s a blessing to see some good things. There is no need to deliberately pursue possession.

From the point of view of the lyrics, it's normal for Tom to be touched, and he can't love it.

But people's original intention is to express some attitudes towards life through emotion, and Tom is just licking dogs and ignoring them, which are essentially two different things.

But people are self-moving, Tom felt that this song was sung for him, it sang to his heart, and made him give great approval to the song "You're Beautiful".

Not only bought the EP boldly, but also went to the radio music program I like to listen to to order songs.

"I'm Tom, and I'm going to order Chris Cho's "You're Beautiful" and tell Tuth Davis of Lowell High School that she is a beautiful angel in my heart forever and I will always love her."

……

San Francisco Public Radio (KQED), the most influential radio station in San Francisco.

The listening audience covers the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and other cities, and even the entire Northern California.

"Okay, I've made a note, we will work hard to arrange your on-demand."

In the telephone room of San Francisco Radio's most popular music-on-demand program "Song in San Francisco", the director hung up Tom's phone, retched silently, and turned to look at other colleagues.

"Someone ordered 'You're Beautiful', does anyone know the song?"

"No, new song?"

"I seem to have a call from here just now, and I also clicked on this song, Chris Cao, he should be a newcomer."

"I have one here too."

Another director hung up the phone, frowning: "Chris Cao's "numb", both songs are on demand."

Several directors in the telephone room looked confused, and soon, two more calls came in, and one of them ordered "You're beautiful".

"Fxxx!"

soon.Hearing the news, William, the person in charge of "Song in San Francisco" who hurried over, couldn't help cursing, and then spoke to everyone.

"Who can tell me, where did this Chris Cao come from?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay and shook their heads together. William cursed and went out to call for help.

The radio station does not necessarily play all the songs that listeners request, but if the songs with a high request rate must be arranged, otherwise they will wait for collective complaints from the audience.

Most importantly, it can be seen from the few phone calls just now that this newcomer named Chris is very popular and is likely to become a new star.

But about this person, "Song in San Francisco" does not have any relevant information. For a music column group, this is definitely a fatal mistake, and it may be a broadcast accident.

After a while, William returned to the telephone room with a strange expression, and a director couldn't help asking.

"Head, which company's newcomer? What's the situation with this person?"

"He's not a newcomer, no, he's still a newcomer. Anyway, this guy is very special. He's a singer from China, and he's very popular in Asia."

"Chinese people?!"

Several directors were surprised, and one of the white people even blurted out: "Can the Chinese also sing?"

"Don't underestimate him."

William said solemnly: "Chris Cao is from Warner, and he is very popular in Los Angeles now. In just two days, two songs entered the top [-] on the on-demand charts of several radio stations in Los Angeles.

I just asked my folks over there, and they even think this guy has the potential to hit the Billboard Hot [-]. "

If the previous directors didn't have a concept of the so-called "fire", as soon as they heard that it was expected to enter the bulletin board, they would know that they really underestimated this Chinese.

The Billboard Top 100 Singles List, based on sales + radio demand rate, includes the [-] most popular singles in the United States every week in real time.

In order to ensure popularity, the bulletin board even made a relatively harsh rule.

For example, if a song has been on the list for 20 weeks, once it falls out of the top 52, it will be removed from the list; if it has been in the list for more than 25 weeks and falls out of the top [-], it will also be directly removed from the list.

Only when the performance of this song (radio, physical sales, or later downloads, streaming media) exceeds its previous highest performance, can it be returned to the list.

This situation prevents some songs from continuing to dominate the charts, showing an obvious downward trend, which will give way to new songs later, and continue to maintain the popularity and freshness of the Billboard charts.

This has also led to the 100 songs on the Billboard Top 80. I dare not say that all of them are older than the same period, but more than [-]% of them have real materials, and the higher the ranking, the gold content and authenticity. The stronger the sex.

For Americans, you may not like a song on the Billboard Top [-], but you cannot think that it is not popular.

In short, this Chinese named Chris Cao is likely to become a new star in the American music scene...
