China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 310 The goal is achieved, the Asian international "superstar" is launched

On April 4, a new issue of the international edition of Time Magazine was released, and the next day, a new issue of the Billboard list was also launched.

It has been two weeks since the last time two songs reached the top 25, or even approached the top [-].

With the strong support of Warner Bros. and the super high quality of the song itself, Cao Xuan's "Chris Tsao" competed fiercely with many hit songs on the Billboard Singles Chart, and finally won.

On April 4, "Chris Tsao" was on the list for the seventh week.

It took nearly 50 days for Cao Xuan's EP's two songs "You're beautiful" and "numb" to finally both enter the top ten of the Announcement Top [-] Singles List, ranking ninth and tenth respectively.

And another song "Natural" was shot at No.15, and it is still expected to enter the top ten.

This time, the entire United States was really shocked.

Even if Cao Xuan still didn't win the billboard championship, an EP with three top ten songs on the billboard singles chart is enough to make the entire American music scene pay attention.

More importantly, Cao Xuan is a newcomer, and he is Chinese, which made the topic of this matter several times more.

It can even be said that Cao Xuan won three billboard top ten songs, which is more interesting than ordinary newcomers who won the billboard championship.

Coupled with this wave of magical assists from Time Magazine, Chris Cao's name has been completely out of the circle, no longer limited to the American music scene, but has become an American celebrity.

Even US President George W. Bush participated in an event two days ago and sang to tease a little girl, humming the tune "You are beautiful" by Cao Xuan.

Nowadays, Cao Xuan's popularity and popularity are not even inferior to many first-line singers in the American music scene.

Some American media called Cao Xuan a rising star in the American music scene before, but now the word "super" is added before the word "new star".

The Chinese supernova of the American music scene!

Also known as a supernova is Shakira. Although she has only one song in the top ten of the Billboard, she went from fourth to third this time, which is very rich in gold.

It just so happens that the two are quite alike, they are both popular this year + foreign singer + famous in the local language + handsome guy and pretty girl, just in time for "Time Magazine" to put the two of them on the cover together, and the two have an affair again.

Therefore, Cao Xuan and Shakira were naturally put together by the US media, which is a bit like a [male Cao Xuan and female Qila] combination.

After preliminary negotiations, Cao Xuan and Shakira took a tacit attitude towards the media's "lady match".

The two do have many similarities, and they are both newcomers to the American music scene, and they don't have any friends in the industry here. Shakira is okay, and he can talk to other Latin American singers.

Cao Xuan is really a loner in the American music scene, not to mention Chinese singers, even Asian singers are rare.

There are a few local Asian singers, but none of them are well-known, and they are not in the same circle. They have different cultural awareness and cannot blend together.

So Cao Xuan and Shakira can complement each other to a certain extent, and keep warm in the American music scene.

In addition, the two also intend to borrow each other's popularity. Cao Xuan definitely wants to go to the Latin American department for a while, and Shakira is also envious of the Asian market. The two of them can completely rub off on each other's popularity.

To a certain extent, this is speculation of CP, bundling publicity, and it can be regarded as Cao Xuan's old business. He was with Ren Xianqi back then, and now with Shakira.

But back then it was a bit of a touch of Ren Xianqi, but now it's about helping each other, and even Cao Xuan dominates.

Don't forget, Cao Xuan is not only a singer, but also a music creator who has written many hit songs.

Singer-songwriters, no matter which music world they are in, are the most popular existence.

Singing generals may not be rare, but Qu's father is really a father.

The reason why Cao Xuan was able to raise various conditions with Warner, and even guarantee a certain degree of autonomy in the United States, is because he can write songs.

Without Warner, Cao Xuan can cooperate with Universal, Sony, and EMI, and still hit the billboards.

And without Cao Xuan, Warner has no place to find a Chinese who can create hit English songs.

It is possible to find American musicians to write and sing for Asian singers, but if it is so easy, several major records will not fail to produce an Asian international superstar.

Leaving aside the issue of profit distribution, since you can write popular English songs, why not praise your own people to praise Asians.

The hurdle of internal resources alone can stump a bunch of big companies, and only Cao Xuan can "create" English songs by himself.

I am willing to sing my own songs, and if you are capable, you can write them yourself...

In the music industry, talent is definitely not everything, but sometimes talent is the basis of everything.

Cao Xuan's musical "talent" is his greatest capital in the American music scene, and with the support of China behind him, at least he can't use many dirty tricks casually.

That's why Warner is willing to let him go everywhere, otherwise he really thinks that capitalists are doing charity.

Warner is not the only one who sees the value of Cao Xuan. Shakira and the company behind it are also willing to make friends with talents like Cao Xuan.

If the relationship is good, if you can win a song in the top ten of the billboard from Cao Xuan, then you will make a lot of money...

So for Cao Xia this time...it sounds awkward, Xia Cao...it sounds even more awkward, anyway, it's two people's CP, Shakira is happy to see it, Cao Xuan doesn't suffer, and a consensus is quickly reached.

Related media exposure, talking about Shakira requires talking about Cao Xuan, and talking about Cao Xuan also mentions Shakira, the two sides share publicity resources.

The combination of Chinese King + Latin Queen has made many fans in the American music scene fresh.

Of course, because of Shakira's boyfriend and the two of Cao Xuan's family, the two parties are only promoting CP, similar to the combination of the European and American version of [South Ren Bei Cao], and have not developed into the scandal.

After "Time Magazine", the two joined hands to land on NBC, the largest TV station in the United States, and participated in "Saturday Night Live", one of the most popular programs in the United States.

This show has been broadcast for the first time since 1975, and was born almost at the same time as Cao Xuan. What's even more frightening is that although this show has been stopped several times in the middle, it has been going strong until 2021, and it is considered the longest-lived variety show in the United States.

Such a long lifespan also shows the influence of this program in the United States. Even the presidential campaign ran to this program to solicit votes, including famous real estate businessmen.

In this program, there are very few formal interviews. Actors perform jokes, celebrities may be spoofed or talk shows, and singers are relatively serious, mainly singing, but it is better to have a little comedy and humor.

The two went up and sang two songs together, one by Cao Xuan and one by Shakira, adding a bit of comedy and spoof elements, and the effect was not bad.

More importantly, the two supernovas, Chinese King + Latin Queen, combined for the first time, and once again won a new headline in the American music scene.

Americans also love gossip, no matter how good their singing is, it is not as good as the lace news exposure. Although the two say they are just good friends, the media are still very keen to report on this pair of foreign superstars who are separated by the Pacific Ocean.

Cao Xuan has been in the United States for nearly two months and has appeared on many news pages. If you want to talk about the popularity, the CP speculation with Shakira is the biggest these days.

I found the traffic password and it belongs to...

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. Gaining popularity also comes with side effects. According to anecdotal rumors, some elder brothers in Colombia were upset that Cao Xuan "fooled" their national goddess, and planned to chat with Cao Xuan.

Good guy, Colombia is famous for its "simple folk customs", nicknamed Latin America's Little Gotham.

If the big brothers send some small gifts to the car where Cao Xuan lives, no one can bear it.

But Cao Xuan is not too scared, let's not talk about Warner's strength, just say that the Colombian big brothers are fierce, but the American Chinese big brothers are not small.

When Cao Xuan first came to the United States, he paid homage to the wharf. Qing, Hong, Shang, and overseas Chinese were all well respected, not to mention that there was an official embassy there.

It is true that China has not risen yet, but it is not yet bullied by a bunch of moths in Colombia.

To put it bluntly, Cao Xuan was covered by someone.

Don't say that he and Shakira have nothing to do at all, that is, they really fell asleep, you love me, I wish you, you guys are ugly, what's the matter...

Originally, Cao Xuan was planning to return to China, but because this matter was delayed for another two days, he participated in the platinum record sales celebration held by Warner for him.

In case someone rumored that he was afraid of revenge from Brother Columbia, he returned home in desperation to seek refuge.

Cao Xuan himself does not care about some criticisms, but this is related to the reputation of the Chinese people and even the entire Chinese people. If it is because of him that the Chinese people or the Chinese people are timid and weak, it will be a death penalty.

This is not an exaggeration, Cao Xuan is now considered to be the most famous among American Chinese or Chinese, and to a certain extent has a connection with the image of Chinese or Chinese groups.

It doesn't matter if it's a small personal matter, Cao Xuan can't ignore this kind of principled issue that may affect the overall image.

Cao Xuan's toughness was beyond the expectations of all insiders. A Chinese elder brother in the United States specially sent bodyguards to take care of his safety. The embassy also contacted Cao Xuan, saying that they had reminded the relevant people that no one would overstep the bounds.

The person involved, Xia Qila, came forward to make peace, and personally attended Cao Xuan's celebration party. In order to eliminate the so-called rumors, he even brought his boyfriend over.

At the celebration party, although there were not many singers from the American music scene except Shakira Warner's singers.

But in the United States, many Chinese bigwigs came to the platform specifically, and those who didn't come, the gifts also arrived, and the head of the embassy personally called to congratulate.

Cao Xuan was originally popular in the American music scene, and a Chinese face appeared in the mainstream American entertainment industry, which has already made many Chinese feel honored.

This time Cao Xuan stood up to threats, unwilling to tarnish the image of the Chinese and the Chinese, and once again received the goodwill of many Chinese.

In a foreign country, we are already in a disadvantaged position, and we must unite and protect ourselves, but we can't hold back the fellow villagers, so there is still a certain gap and vigilance between them.

Even though Cao Xuan has become the pride of the Chinese in the American music scene, but because he doesn't understand his character, not many people have had much contact with him.

But this incident allowed everyone to grasp part of Cao Xuan's character, not to mention, he is tough, loyal, and a big deal.

Based on this alone, everyone thinks that Xuanzi is capable and capable!

Cao Xuan didn't expect that an accident would allow him to be accepted by the American Chinese community, which is very important to him.

This time he opened up the situation and formally entered the European and American markets. He will definitely come to the United States to work frequently in the future.

When you go out, you have to be careful about everything. Although Warner is powerful, Cao Xuan can't trust them in everything. Being able to connect with Chinese groups makes many things much more convenient.

Although there are some scum of fellow villagers here, compared to people from other countries, Cao Xuan believes in Chinese compatriots of the same origin and race.

Under the witness of everyone, Cao Xuan received the certificate of platinum record certification from the International Phonographic Association, a black photo frame with a platinum disc film inside.

In the past few weeks, Cao Xuan has not only made great strides in the Billboard singles chart, but also has his place in the album chart. In mid-April, the sales volume of "Chris Tsao" officially exceeded 4 million.

Cao Xuan's two wishes of breaking into the top ten of the Billboard singles chart and winning platinum sales were finally fulfilled before returning to China.

Looking at the certificate in his hand, Cao Xuan couldn't hide his joy.

In fact, he has a lot of these things, as long as you pay the membership fee to the International Phonographic Association, the International Phonographic Association will send you after you reach 100 million genuine sales.

The total sales volume of Cao Xuan's records has already exceeded [-] million. This kind of platinum record proves that the family has a stack.

However, the platinum record issued by the American branch of the International Phonographic Association is still the first piece, and it is also the first piece in the entire Chinese music scene.

Only when the record sales in the United States exceed 100 million copies can there be this proof.

At the same time, this also marks that Cao Xuan's career has reached a new level.

He is the only singer in the entire Chinese music scene who has made great achievements in the European and American music scene.

The next day, the photo of Cao Xuan holding a certificate in his left hand and champagne in his right, with a bright smile, landed on the headlines of some media in the United States.
Asian International "Superstar" is officially launched!
