China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 306 Airborne Billboard Albums Chart, Goal: Platinum Certification
The next day, many media in Los Angeles and even the United States made a lot of reports on the Los Angeles Music Festival.

This music festival is so dramatic.

The promotion was vigorous, covering several popular singers, but none of them came, and tens of thousands of viewers cursed, but a Chinese singer popped up in the middle to save the stage. After a few songs came out, this music festival that was about to die was revitalized.

This kind of personal heroic story has a great market in the United States, not to mention all kinds of unexpected reversals. Many Americans are stupid to read the reports.

Are you making a movie?
Is the Chinese silver sister Wang back?

So the Los Angeles Music Festival became popular, and some TV stations even spent money to get the official and audience recordings of the Los Angeles Music Festival, and then edited and broadcast them.

So all Americans saw how a Chinese man conquered the audience with music despite the boos of tens of thousands of people.

The TV station interviewed some of the audience. Everyone scolded the festival when they mentioned the music festival, but when it came to Cao Xuan, they all gave it a high praise. Among them was a strong white man with tattoos all over his face.

"I don't like Asians, but I have to say, this kid's song is really good."

Music has no borders, and Cao Xuan's performance is obvious to all. Many media criticized the Los Angeles Music Festival and praised Cao Xuan's performance.

There were even other celebrities joining in the fun, such as Cao Xuan's acquaintance Spears, who mentioned Cao Xuan in an interview.

"Chris is a great singer, I knew him before, and he provided some ideas for the creative of the ad, which was very clever.

that show?I watched TV and was very shocked. It is a pity that I was not there, otherwise the feeling would be even better. If I have the opportunity, I look forward to being on the same stage with Chris..."

The popularity of Britney Spears in the American music scene is almost the same as that of Cao Xuan in China, and she is the only one there.

Later generations have a special organization that has crawled Google data and calculated the rankings of the names of major singers and their related global search volume on the Internet every year or even every month since the 21st century.

Among them, there is only annual data from 2001 to 2003, and there is no monthly data. Britney has dominated the list for three years, holding down Eminem, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Shakira, and Avril Lavigne.

And from 2004 to 2008, although Britney did not dominate the rankings every month throughout the year, she never fell out of the top three regardless of the overall annual ranking or monthly ranking.

Of course, this ranking does not represent everything, but it can indeed be used as a certain reference.

Britney may not be the best singer, but she is definitely the hottest or hottest singer, at least in Europe and America, especially the United States.

And this enthusiasm made Britney successful, and also brought countless hardships to her life.

But aside from those things, Britney's active praise also brought a certain amount of enthusiasm to Cao Xuan, and soon Linkin Park also recognized Cao Xuan either spontaneously or under the arrangement of Warner.

Some other singers also spoke one after another, expressing their praise for Cao Xuan's performance or new song, some of them were sincere, and some were asked by Warner.

But no matter what, the two top singers and the band spoke, and a group of well-known singers echoed. Not to mention the popularity, the key is that Cao Xuan's music is recognized by American singers.

Cao Xuan is a foreign singer, so he is naturally an outsider, so he can just leave after making a fortune in commercial performances and albums. If he wants to develop in the long term and seriously wants to gain a foothold in the American music scene, the acceptance of his peers is essential.

If a singer from another country comes to the Chinese music scene to develop, if he is not familiar with the road and has a big boss or a friend to help him, he will not be able to integrate into the real core circle of the music scene.

China has Chinese sophistication, and the United States also has American seniority. Some basic rules must be observed.

Cao Xuan is covered by Warner, and his bulletin board results are also good. It is not difficult to gain a firm foothold.

But this music festival helped him speed up. Warner followed suit, and Cao Xuan made his name in the American music scene faster than expected.

From then on, the American music world has a character like Chris Cao...

And with the aftermath of the Los Angeles Music Festival, the three songs of "Chris Tsao" went further on the Billboard.

On March 3, "Chris Tsao" was on the chart for the fourth week, and all three songs entered the top 26, and they remained strong.

"numb" rose sixteen places, ranking 32nd.

"You're beautiful" made a comeback, rose nineteen places and ranked No.30.

"Natural" has the strongest momentum, directly killing from No. 55 to No. 34, a full rise of 21 places, and it is the song with the highest ranking rise on the Billboard this week.

It is worth mentioning that "Natural" entered the list at 98, the third from the bottom of the list.

However, it only took one month to rise 64 places, even in the nearly half century history of the Billboard Top [-], it can be regarded as a rare dark horse.

Not only "Natural" is a dark horse, but the three songs of "Chris Tsao" are actually dark horses.

Together with Cao Xuan, he has also become a big dark horse that has traveled across the ocean, breaking the new history of Chinese and even Asians on the bulletin board time and time again.

Every time the list is announced, many people will always look at Cao Xuan with admiration, including many high-level executives from Warner Records.

Although they still believed that Cao Xuan's chance of winning the championship was very slim, they no longer regarded this matter as a fantasy.

It's like the national football team playing against Australia. Although the chances of entering the 2022 Qatar World Cup are still slim, there is still a little hope after all, which at least gives a motivation to continue watching the game...

However, the championship may not be won, but the top ten is still very promising, and even the three capitals have hope.

If "Chris Tsao" has three songs, no, as long as two of them can enter the top ten of the list, it will be an out-and-out hit.

At the same time, what makes Warner even more happy is that not only three songs have climbed up the Billboard Top 40 chart this week, but "Chris Tsao" has also successfully entered the Billboard Top [-] album list, and it was airborne in the first week. No.[-] four.

If the billboard singles chart is sales + radio demand is the comprehensive data of songs, the billboard album chart is the actual sales.

The higher the ranking, the more you sell and more money!

Warner attaches great importance to the influence of "Chris Tsao", and even more to real money.

As of now, in nearly a month, the sales volume of "Chris Tsao" EP in the United States has exceeded 50 copies.

It is important to remind that 50 copies are sold in the United States. If Asian sales are included, Cao Xuan can compete for the top spot in the Billboard album version.

But even so, it is remarkable to get this data in the first month, not to mention that because of Warner's mistakes, it was greatly affected in the first two weeks of the EP's release.

If Warner had fully cooperated before, "Chris Tsao" would probably be on the list last week.

But now that Warner has fully distributed goods and increased publicity, the ranking of the song billboard continues to rise. Coupled with Cao Xuan's recent popularity, it finally exploded and directly airborne to No. 44 on the album chart.

In the future, with the higher ranking of billboard songs, the sales will be further boosted. "Chris Tsao" is likely to become a frequent visitor to the album chart, and even enter the forefront.

To be honest, the American recording market is indeed mature and developed.

Cao Xuan is a newcomer, despite the ups and downs, he still managed to sell 50 copies in the first month. If the momentum is maintained, coupled with global channels, Cao Xuan’s first English EP is expected to hit 300 million to 500 million, and even possible More.

You know, the sales of Linkin Park's last album in the United States exceeded [-] million, and it took half a year for Avril Lavigne's first album to win quadruple platinum.

Platinum records in the American music scene are recognized by the International Phonographic Association. One platinum is equal to 100 million album sales, and four platinum is 400 million.

And this is only half a year's data. As of 2004, the global sales of Avril Lavigne's first album reached 1500 million copies.

Cao Xuan came to Europe and the United States to make a living in the European and American music circles, and he ran to the well-developed record market in Europe and the United States. From a commercial point of view, the European and American music circles are more profitable than the Chinese music circles, and they can even further harvest the Asian market.

Japanese and Korean fans have limited love for Chinese songs, but they are absolutely open to English songs and ravage them casually.

Still the same sentence, an Asian king who has succeeded in the European and American markets will have several times the commercial value in Asia.

If before, Cao Xuan could only drink soup for the Japanese and Korean markets, then with the status of "international superstar", he can smash pots and grab meat at will.

Now Cao Xuan's goal is to make the sales volume of "Chris Tsao" exceed 100 million as soon as possible, and win a platinum record certification in the US market.

Cao Xuan doesn't know if there are any Asian singers who have won platinum certification in the European and American markets, but as far as he knows, this is the first time for a Chinese singer.

He is still looking forward to it personally.

Many songs were on the charts, and the rankings continued to rise, so that Cao Xuan's promotional work could temporarily come to an end. The songs were already popular, and he would not be as powerful as the bulletin boards.

Apart from the necessary interviews and some commercial activities, Cao Xuan spared time to go to the studio in Hollywood to guest star in "The Matrix 2".

.........

Hollywood, the set of "The Matrix 2"
When Cao Xuan saw Master Yuan and his two apprentices, he was very happy to see old acquaintances. He gave him a big hug and praised him in Mandarin with a slight Cantonese accent.

"It's amazing, Xuan Zi, I heard it even when I was filming here, a big American singer."

With Cao Xuan's current status in the Chinese entertainment industry, most people call him Xuan Zai. He doesn't care who the other party is, and he won't give face if he doesn't.

But Baye Yuan is an old acquaintance of Cao Xuan, and Cao Xuan took good care of him when he debuted, so Cao Xuan recognized the "Xuan boy".

Yuan Baye's two apprentices knew it well. Although they were older than Cao Xuan, they still called Boss Cao honestly.

Ordinary people in the Xiangjiang film and television industry may not understand Cao Xuan's status in the mainland.

But Baye Yuan has quite a few production crews in the mainland, Wu Jing, the company's first brother, is also an acquaintance of Cao Xuan, and even the current martial arts instructor Zhang Lei was originally a member of Yuan's class, and he also invited a few old brothers to come to Fanxing to help.

Therefore, in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, Yuan Jiaban knew Cao Xuan best, and understood that he was not only a singer, but also a big boss in the mainland.

Of course, they might have been a little proud when they saw Cao Xuan before that. After all, no matter how awesome the boss is, they are not afraid at all in Hollywood.

But seeing that Cao Xuan became famous in the United States this month and had a good relationship with Warner, the two guys were completely convinced.

Awesome people are awesome everywhere, but the master is the best, and he can tell at a glance that Cao Xuan is not easy to be with.

In fact, Yuan Baye was also confused. The young Ximen Qing had changed so much now that he couldn't help being amazed by the other party's new achievements every time he met.

Ba Ye even regretted it in his heart. Why didn't the crew of "Water Margin" see that it was a piece of precious jade? If Cao Xuan had been accepted as a pawn at that time, he would not be able to walk sideways in the entertainment circle now...
