China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 311 Evolved from Diamond King to Tang Monk Meat

26-year-old Cao Xuan was sitting in the first-class seat of the plane returning home, but there were no female students who had returned from studying abroad opposite him, but the flight attendants came one after another.

One will send a blanket, one will ask for lunch, one will ask if you are thirsty, what to drink, and one will ask what services you need.

The little green light from the eyes of the stewardesses made Mr. Cao, who was not afraid of Brother Columbia, feel a little panicked.

"Ahem, can you give me a domestic magazine or newspaper, I want to read the news."

Cao Xuan really couldn't bear the feeling that Tang Seng entered Pansi Cave, so he asked for magazines as an excuse, mainly to remind the stewardesses that it was almost enough.

"Okay, Mr. Cao, do you need entertainment news, sports news, financial news or social news..."

A stewardess with an oval face squatted gently in front of Cao Xuan, outlining a perfect curve just right, with a gentle tone and a friendly smile.

It's a pity that Cao Daguan has seen too many beautiful women, so he doesn't pay attention to this temptation at all.

"Entertainment news is fine, preferably domestic."

"Okay, wait a minute."

The flight attendant left disappointed, and not long after, another sweet-looking flight attendant handed Cao Xuan two magazines.

"Mr. Cao, the magazine you want."

"Thank you."

Cao Xuan nodded, took it and opened it casually, and found a note inside, with a phone number and even an address on it. Looking up, the stewardess looked at him with fiery eyes and expectation.

"Thank you for your service, I think you should know me, I will send you an autograph."

Cao Xuan took out the signature fountain pen that he carried with him, and directly wrote his signature and words of thanks.

His fountain pen is special, a bit like an oil-based marker pen, with thick and heavy handwriting, he directly covered the words written by the flight attendant, and then returned the note to the flight attendant.

The stewardess was quite frustrated, but she still thanked Cao Xuan for taking care of her face. At least she got an autograph.

After the flight attendant left, Cao Xuan finally calmed down for a while, opened the magazine, and the headline on the front page was himself.

"Creating Billboard History, Cao Xuan on the Cover of Time Magazine Again"

The picture is accompanied by the ranking of the Top [-] singles list on the Billboard website. The two songs that Cao Xuan ranked in the top ten are marked. Anyway, the content of the article is blah, blah.

To be honest, the compliment made Cao Xuan a little blush, but he was quite happy in his heart, after all, anyone would be flattered to hear good things about him.

The front page is about me, and the second page is also about him. It said that he held a celebration party the day before yesterday, certified the platinum record, and made Shaki an emphatic statement.

But what's not moral is that Shakira's boyfriend was there at the time, and the reporter deliberately ignored it when writing, intending to give Cao Xuan a gossip.

Cao Xuan was also used to these routines, and didn't bother to care about them, and then scrolled down, his eyes lit up, and he was finally able to eat other people's melons.

In early April, Xie Feng officially announced his breakup with Wang Fei, and Feng Feizhi's love triangle became a top event in the entertainment industry.

This matter can't just be viewed as a gossip. It contains a lot of melons. Since the end of March, it has been highly concerned by the Hong Kong media. Three top-tier artists were drawn in, and a wave of public opinion carnival was staged.

Behind this carnival, all three were negatively affected to varying degrees.

Wang Fei was emotionally hurt, and Zhang Baizhi was formally drawn into a love triangle. The fans of both parties were torn apart fiercely, even 20 years later.

The most negatively affected was Xie Feng. Before that, he was a well-known Asian little king with a strong momentum, so he was forced to keep a low profile for nearly a year, and his career development was also affected.

To make matters worse, when Xie Feng left, he happened to catch up with Cao Xuan who was making a big splash in the American music scene.

At the time of Xie Feng's accident at the end of March, Cao Xuan also began to enjoy himself, and good news spread to the country day by day.

Comparing the two, it is difficult for everyone to connect the two of them.

Obviously the age difference is not too big, and they are also representatives of the new generation in the music industry and even the entertainment industry. Before that, the Hong Kong media had always praised the so-called "Nan Xie Bei Cao".

But now it seems that one is full of troubles and scandals, and the other is famous overseas, making history and embarrassing the entire entertainment circle.

Even if they are as tricky as the Hong Kong media, this time they have to admit that there is indeed a big distance between Cao Xuan and Xie Feng.

The Xiangjiang people stick together to protect their weaknesses. At least the Xiangjiang entertainment circle and the Hong Kong media have been supporting Xie Feng, making them bow their heads once. This shows how much Cao Xuan's trip to the United States has shocked them.

In fact, from the day when Cao Xuan was listed on the bulletin board and returned to China, Cao Xuan has become the center of the entire Chinese music scene.

And as his ranking got higher, good news continued to come from across the ocean, and the media began to follow up with a lot of publicity and momentum. The US Billboard list also became a new knowledge point in 2002.

Many people who had never even heard of the bulletin board a month ago now know the rules and conditions of the bulletin board by heart.

In this era when Yankees are number one in the world, being able to conquer the European and American markets is definitely a remarkable achievement for Chinese people who lack confidence.

They didn't care about anything else, they just watched Cao Xuan's ranking on the bulletin board getting higher and higher, becoming No.1 in Chinese history, No.1 in Asian history, selling more than 100 million copies in the US, landing in "Time Magazine" and becoming a recognized supernova ………

Even Cao Xuan himself doesn't know how terrible his reputation in the country is now. The national hero may be exaggerated, but it's not that far off.

Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film directly beat Lao Mouzi, Chen Dadao and many other famous directors.

Yao Ming, the No. [-] pick in the draft, entered the NBA, which drove the entire basketball game to explode in China, and his influence was unparalleled.

Cheng Long has become a superstar in Hollywood, and his film salary alone is more than that of the four heavenly kings combined. He is officially designated as "big brother".

So a singer who is No.1 in the music world has achieved great success in the European and American music circles, just imagine how huge the praise and attention he has received.

Cao Xuan was almost promoted to the altar!
In fact, it can be seen from these stewardesses that it is not that Cao Xuan has never experienced a flight attendant strike up a conversation before, but this is the first time that the whole crew takes turns to take care of him, so close to throwing himself into his arms directly.

Not only because he is handsome and rich, but more because of the popularity of the American music scene, which gave him a halo of honor to win glory for the country, and multiplied Cao Xuan's charm value several times.

It's not that there are rich people, handsome guys are not uncommon, and although there are few talented people, there are some.

But these qualities can be combined together to achieve brilliant achievements at home and abroad, with wealth, appearance, talent, fame, and honor equal to one body.

It can be said that in the eyes of many women, taking down Cao Xuan is no longer just a show, and they don't care about the future, but come here for a sense of accomplishment.

Such a perfect man and his wife have slept, this life is worth it.

If you don't understand this idea, gender conversion, a top pop queen with wide popularity in the world, is also a super rich woman, and she is stunningly beautiful, the dream goddess of countless men, if you have the opportunity to kiss Fangze and communicate in depth , can you blow it for a lifetime...

Let's put it this way, if Cao Xuan was regarded as a top diamond king and fifth in the past, now he has somewhat evolved into a Tang monk.

Cao Daguan just hooked his little finger and loosened his belt, so he could be a groom every night, without repeating the same thing every day.

Looking at it this way, Cao Xuan feels that his moral standards are still very high, and he doesn't dare to be a model, but he can be regarded as a small model.

.........

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed at Beijing Airport, and Cao Xuan was left behind by the stewardess and the captain, and took a group photo with all the crew.

Then, under the reluctant eyes of the stewardesses, they got off the plane with Zhu Jiang and Zhang Chong.

As a result, not long after getting off the plane, Cao Xuan was stopped by the airport staff.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cao, there are reporters and fans coming outside. For your safety and airport order, please leave through the VIP channel."

"No, my trip is confidential."

Cao Xuan frowned, the airport staff glanced at him, and secretly reminded him in a low voice.

"From about the 15th onwards, there have been media at the airport. There are only a few flights from the United States to China every day. As long as you know your approximate return time, it is easy to get stuck."

The airport staff pointed to Cao Xuan's face, which is rarely unknown to Chinese people.

As long as someone sees it before boarding the plane, make an overseas call, get the news here, and come directly to block people.

If the news leaks out, considering the professionalism of the reporters in the capital, it is estimated that half of the capital will soon know that Cao Xuan is going back to China.

Cao Xuan was a little speechless, sometimes he is really famous when he is famous.

In desperation, he had no choice but to leave with the airport staff. On the way, he asked if there was any private jet parking and maintenance service at the airport.

The airport staff were shown their faces.

Is this the arrogance of the boss, just get ready to buy a private jet after being blocked by someone?
Cao Xuan ignored the complaints from the airport staff, but was really thinking about this issue.

In the past, I used to do activities in China and the distance was short, so it didn’t matter to have a private jet, which was not enough for the maintenance fee. But in the future, it is obvious that I will often go abroad, and it is relatively more convenient and safer to have a private jet.

As for money, Cao Xuan really didn't pay much attention to it, let's not talk about "Legend of Blood", just this trip to the United States.

The income from various aspects has already reached several million US dollars. If the follow-up goes well, Cao Xuan's income from the EP of "Chris Tsao" alone will be guaranteed to be more than 2000 million US dollars.

The United States is very strict about copyright. The income from the sale of a record is sometimes called royalties. The producer, creator, singer, agent, and publisher all have their own proportions.

Although the singer's share is not high, generally between 10 and 20%, don't forget that Cao Xuan's songs are produced by himself, and the creator + producer's share belongs to him. Between 30~35%.

The rest is owned by the agent + publisher, that is, Warner. Of course, there are also recording costs and channel fees.

It is worth mentioning that this is only the income from the sale of the record, and Cao Xuan himself still owns the copyright of the song "Chris Tsao".

Copyright is different from royalties. Royalty is only the proceeds from the sale of the record, while copyright is the ownership of the song.

As Cao Xuan is the copyright owner, anyone who uses these three songs must pay Cao Xuan the copyright fee.

Of course, because Warner is mainly responsible for the operation here, Cao Xuan has to give Warner part of the management fee.

But even so, this copyright fee is likely to exceed the royalty income of "Chris Tsao". After all, this is a long-term business. Even if Cao Xuan dies, his children can still receive money.

The above-mentioned 2000 million US dollars is only an estimated royalty and a small part of copyright income. Warner will distribute goods in South America and Europe in the future. If it explodes, it is expected that the income will probably increase.

This is one of Cao Xuan's confidence and purpose in buying a private jet. He is not to show off his wealth, but to make better money.

The European and American markets are too rich, and the money earned from an EP is almost catching up with the Stars trilogy.

The operation is done, Cao Xuan's next English album may directly cover the building of Fanxing Company, how could Cao Xuan not pay attention to it.

Compared with this, a mere private jet is nothing at all. Cao Xuan was so anxious that he bought two, one for driving and one for escort...
