China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 305 China's Heavenly King Shines in Los Angeles
"Damn it, Cao Xuan!"

In the audience, Yuan Gong, who was scolding happily, was dumbfounded when he saw the familiar figure on the big screen.

During this period of time, he was busy with classes, and in his spare time he tried to tease his younger sister Sandy, and he had no interest in the American music and entertainment circles, so he had no idea that Cao Xuan had come to the United States.

Seeing a familiar artist in a foreign country, the astonishment and excitement made Yuan Gong confused and happy, but when he thought of the situation at the scene, his mood turned to worry.

He had seen the singer's end just now, and he was scolded enough. He didn't care about it before, but now that his compatriots are on stage, Yuan Gong, who has double standards, will immediately appear at Cao Xuan's side.

But it was unrealistic for him to stop so many people, so he simply shouted at the top of his voice to cheer for Cao Xuan.

"Cao Xuan, come on!"

As the second largest city in the United States, Los Angeles, together with New York and San Francisco, are important gathering places for Chinese.

Therefore, although there are not many Chinese or Chinese who knew Cao Xuan at the scene, there are more than three digits.

With Cao Xuan's influence in the Chinese world, coupled with the recent popularity in the United States, basically more than [-]% of the Chinese present know him, whether it is out of solidarity with his compatriots or to show off in front of his peers.

The Chinese present basically chose to turn against each other immediately, and some of them shouted for support like Yuan Gong.

In order to cover up those cursing, these people shouted hoarsely. Some of them were too close to the stage to be heard by Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan gave a thumbs up to the audience and said in Chinese.

"Thank you."

The Chinese people who got the response were even more excited, but Cao Xuan had no time to bother with them anymore. He held the microphone with both hands and nodded to the band members.

The band members who had simply gone through the process before were silent, and Cao Xuan sang in a low voice.

"Well, you hold the line
you still hold on
When every one of them is giving up or giving in, tell me
When everyone else stopped trying and frustrated hope
……

Will heaven step in? Will it save us from our sin? Will it?
Will heaven step in to change the course of the universe and save us from the sins we have committed

'Cause this house of mine stands strong
And I don't care, cause the kingdom I build will stand forever
......"

A line of lyrics, although the voice is not heavy, still suppressed the insults and attacks of many fans.

Many fans even stopped booing and watched silently the Asian youth who closed his eyes and sang in the microphone. From this special opening and the depressing performance of the song, many people felt a surging emotion .

"That's the price you pay!

That's the price you pay! "

Sure enough, after the singing ended, Cao Xuan suddenly elongated his vocals, and his pitch became higher and higher. Avril Lavigne and the guitarist also began to cooperate with the accompaniment.

And these arias, like shouts and admonitions to everyone in front of them, are melodious, powerful, and full of emotional appeal.

Frankly speaking, the three English songs of "Chris Tsao" are particularly difficult to sing, whether it is rock or lyrical, they can be ranked high in his previous songs.

It took Cao Xuan a lot of effort to master these three songs, which also brought his singing skills to a higher level.

In the past, Cao Xuan sang mostly love songs and inspirational songs, and he didn't dare to break through his comfort zone.

The release of English songs this time, the two rock songs with a hard bridge and a unique style of lyricism, as well as the rhythm, pronunciation, and singing of English songs, are a great test for Cao Xuan.

But the difficulty is high, which also means that the improvement is high. In addition, he already has a lot of accumulation before, and he has won three English songs, breaking through the threshold, and the successful upgrade is naturally a matter of course.

If it is said that Cao Xuan's singing skills fluctuated from second-rate to first-rate in the past, but now, he can basically be stabilized in the ranks of first-rate singers.

The sense of music, singing skills, technology, and emotional application have all improved to varying degrees, and the overall evaluation is almost A+.

When the status comes, it is a singer who is second only to top singers, or even comparable to top singers.

Even if the state is mediocre, he can be regarded as a serious and powerful faction.

This is also Cao Xuan's confidence in coming to the United States. American pop music is prevalent, and it can be said that there are so many singers, hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

But now Cao Xuan doesn't say that he has achieved great feats, but he can be regarded as entering the room, even in the United States where there are many masters, he is also ranked first.

So the more difficult the field, the more excited he is.

Because Cao Xuan has confidence in his own strength, even if he cannot conquer the audience, he will still get the praise he deserves.

"Rather be the hunter than the prey
Don't run away like a prey anymore, attack like a hunter..."

Cao Xuan sang loudly, and the cursing and booing in the audience has obviously weakened. Many audience members have been brought into the song by Cao Xuan, immersed in the emotion of the song.

Watching the audience of tens of thousands of people slowly quiet down, Cao Xuan opened his arms, and suddenly shouted out the chorus of "Natural" with a ferocious expression.

"And you're standing on the edge,

Now you're standing on the edge of a cliff
Face up 'cause you're a
raise your head and face because of you
Natural
born this way
......"

Bang, the drummer, who had been silent all this time, vigorously beat the drum set in front of him, and the members also fell into a state of rage.

Accompanied by the melody, Avril played her instrument passionately, and Avril even began to harmonize with Cao Xuan. Her high-spirited female voice brought some unique charm to Cao Xuan's singing.

"A beating heart of stone
A heartbeat as strong as a rock

You gotta be so cold
You have to learn to be cold and hard
To make it in this world
Find your place in this world
Yeah, you're a natural
you were born this way

......"

Cao Xuan became more violent as he sang, holding the microphone with his hand, his body swayed slightly, his face was flushed red, veins were showing on his neck, and he roared desperately.

Especially the last sentence "You were born this way", even has some slightly broken sounds.

This broken sound did not affect the quality of the singing, and even the emotion was in place, adding a bit of soul.

"Ooooooooo!!!"

The crazy singing, the explosive stage, and the explosive melody finally made the audience give up thinking.

Everyone at the scene would jump and sway with the melody, stretch their hands to the stage, their faces were full of excitement and excitement, and the scene, which had been busy all day, finally looked like a regular music festival.

The intense feedback from the fans at the scene made Cao Xuan's state even higher. He took off the microphone from the stand, walked to the edge of the stage, and interacted with the audience while singing.

Under the fanatic atmosphere of the scene, Cao Xuan sang more steadily, more explosively, and the audience became more and more excited. Tens of thousands of people at the scene fell into carnival along with the melody.

Looking at the scene on the stage and the scene, the old white man in the organizer was so happy that he was crazy, grabbed his subordinates, and shouted by his neck.

"Quick, make sure to record this, FXXX, it's worth the $10."

The song "Natural" ended and the melody stopped. Before Cao Xuan could express, many audience members spontaneously started shouting under the leadership of someone.

"Encore!"

"Encore!"

It was only part of it at first, but it quickly spread throughout the audience. There were tens of thousands of people present, but I dare not say all of it. At least [-]% of the audience were expecting another song by Cao Xuan.

The momentum was so great that even the group of singers in the backstage were attracted. Some of them ran out and directly doubted life when they saw this scene.

"Is this Chinese person possessed by Michael Jackson?"

Cao Xuan didn't care about those singers. In fact, not only the audience didn't listen enough, but Cao Xuan, who was already in full swing, didn't enjoy singing too.

Seeing that no one called him off, Cao Xuan simply signaled the band members to start the prelude to "numb".

"Ahhh!"

Seeing the new melody, the audience burst into cheers.

The power of music + ambient atmosphere made everyone forget their anger and began to rise and fall with the singing of the Chinese on stage.

Compared with "Natural", the style of "numb" may not be as violent and explosive, but the power contained in the song is not inferior at all.

The passionate melody brought tens of thousands of spectators from one carnival to another.

Many audiences were completely overwhelmed by Cao Xuan, and the sound waves of screams could almost directly shatter the glass.

Not only the audience was excited, even Cao Xuan himself was also excited.

Although this scene was not as big as the Temple of Heaven concert, the charm of rock and roll ignited the atmosphere to the extreme. The scene of tens of thousands of people going crazy together was shocking and intoxicating.

Cao Xuan was quite stable, but the band members who felt the atmosphere of the scene second only to him were not as calm as he was.

Including Avril Lavigne, they had never experienced such a glorious moment in front of tens of thousands of people. The frenzied atmosphere at the scene made them all deeply moved and tears filled their eyes.

After "numb" was sung, Avril Lavigne, who fell into emotion, couldn't stop Cao Xuan, who was infinitely charming on the stage, and rushed over to hug and kiss.

If Cao Xuan didn't hide quickly, the news about Cao Xuan being tongue-kissed by an American girl would have to go back to China and hit the headlines tomorrow.

"Oh oh oh!"

The audience booed enthusiastically. In fact, they understood Avril Lavigne's feelings very well and had no other thoughts.

Instead, he was moved by Cao Xuan's demeanor on stage, and couldn't help but want to do something to vent his admiration. Hugging, kissing, and even kneeling are all ways of release.

Cao Xuan didn't take it seriously, rubbed Avril's head, took her guitar, and played and sang "You're beautiful" by himself.

This lyrical song did not drive the audience into a frenzy anymore, but the audience who had been conquered before did not have any antagonism anymore, but quietly enjoyed Cao Xuan's singing.

After singing the three songs of "Chris Tsao", Cao Xuan planned to step down, but couldn't hold back the audience, so another group of "500Miles" that he "adapted" before came.

This song is very famous in the United States. I dare not say that everyone can sing it, but I can always hum a few words.

Although Cao Xuan's adapted version is slightly different from the original song, the style of the song is roughly the same. Under the leadership of Cao Xuan, a chorus of ten thousand people came to the scene.

"500 Miles" ended, Cao Xuan bowed and stepped down, but couldn't be persuaded to stay, so he gave warm and long-lasting applause.

Backstage, a band from Houston was waiting. Seeing Cao Xuan and the others approaching, the white lead singer who had always been cold-faced came over and shook Cao Xuan's hand.

"You saved this music festival and changed my impression of Chinese people, Chris Cao, I remember you."

Looking at this white man in the second grade, Cao Xuan didn't talk to him, but shook hands with him in a friendly way.

"come on!"

"Thank you."

The lead singer thanked Cao Xuan for coming on stage, and the other members of the band followed, smiling at Cao Xuan one by one, or taking the initiative to say hello.

When Cao Xuan came backstage, all the singers gave him a standing ovation and cheered.

The black singer who he came on stage to remind him even blew a whistle and rushed over to hug him.

"Incredible performance, my Chinese brother, it's great."

The white old man also came over to express his thanks. Thanks to Cao Xuan's excellent performance to save the stage, this music festival is barely considered a success. Maybe there will be another wave of money next year.

Looking at the smiling old white man, Cao Xuan felt more and more that his $10 was short.

.........

From being excluded at the beginning, to being watched by everyone in Versailles, now Cao Xuan has become the real C in the backstage, and many singers have taken the initiative to talk to him.

Cao Xuan dealt with it, and when he saw that it was almost time, he was about to leave. He had just entered the parking lot and was about to get in the car when he heard someone calling him.

Looking back, Avril Lavigne was chasing after her with a guitar bag on her back, and asked out of breath.

"You haven't given me your phone yet."

Cao Xuan took a business card and handed it to her, Avril put it away solemnly, and asked with some expectation.

"Can I hang out with you? I know a nice café."

In the United States, separate invitations between men and women are almost equivalent to dating.

Cao Xuan probably understands what Avril means, but this girl is too young, there is a high probability that she came here for a relationship, and she can't get rid of her easily, he doesn't want to provoke others.

"I have a lot of activities in the future, and I will probably leave the United States next month."

This was a polite refusal, and Avril couldn't hide her disappointment. Cao Xuan couldn't help rubbing her head. This girl is short, so she can rub her head with one hand, which is very convenient.

"The mountain is high and the road is far away. We will meet again next time if there is fate."

Cao Xuan got into the car and left. When the car left the parking lot, Zhu Jiang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, reminded him. Cao Xuan opened the window and poked his head out to look back.

Avril shouted at him: "Cao, you must remember me, my name is Avril Lavigne."

"I will remember!"

Cao Xuan replied, waved his hand, turned around and sat in the car, and said to Zhu Jiang and the two with emotion: "Let's make a bet, I think this girl will be popular in the future."

Zhu Jiang looked at the smaller and smaller figure in the rearview mirror, and replied calmly: "I don't know if it will be popular, but I think he is only 18 years old, and he must have a bottom line in life."

Cao Xuan: "..."

Who is it? Cao Daguan didn't do anything!
