Chapter 358 Retire with rapidity, member Cao and vice-chairman Cao

A few days after the Spring Festival, Cao Xuan turned off all work and took a good rest for a few days.

Find a few old friends in the capital to have a meal, catch up with the old days, or just disguise and take Hu Jing out to live a two-person world.

The two of them lived happily ever after, while the outside world was still immersed in the aftermath of the Spring Festival Gala.

To be honest, the overall quality of this year's Spring Festival Gala is better than that of the previous two years.

Lin Yilian's "At Least You" and Guo Tianwang's "Move" are both very good, and the two new songs of Cao Xuan and Hu Jing are also amazing.

Especially Cao Xuan's "When You Are Old", the atmosphere is excellent, and countless tears were shed directly. Many netizens and music critics gave very high praise, and it was praised as the pinnacle of Cao Xuan's five-year Spring Festival Gala program.

Of course, many people disagree with this point.

Cao Xuan's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and the Spring Festival Gala version of "The Sea of ​​Stars" have many fans.

Not to mention "Gong Xi Fa Cai", it is already a must-have song for the Spring Festival, and it has even spread overseas. It can be said to be one of Cao Xuan's most influential songs.

"Yellow Race" is the most inferior one in comparison. Although there are some supporters, it can only respectfully accompany the last one.

Some people also talked about Shuimunianhua's "I Have You in My Life", but Cao Xuan's foreshadowing is not a big problem.

Even Li Jian, who quit Shuimunianhua last year, was interviewed and revealed that Cao Xuan had a special phone call with him before and that the inspiration for the creation of the two songs came from Yeats' poems, and there was nothing else.

"When You Are Old" has been highly praised in the media network, and there are even rumors that Cao Xuan will win the first prize in the song and dance category of the Spring Festival Gala again.

If successful, Cao Xuan won the first prize in the song and dance category of the Spring Festival Gala for the second time after last year's "Star and Sea" Cao Xuan won the first prize in the song and dance category for two consecutive years.

It is worthy of the name of "Sketch Zhao Benshan, Listening to Songs and Listening to Cao Xuan" as it is said by the outside world, and it can be called the two mainstays of language and singing and dancing programs in the Spring Festival Gala.

However, Cao Xuan refused to recognize this title, and said many times that he was still far from some of his predecessors, and that he was still young and had to continue studying.

Cao Xuan continued to shine in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Afterwards, "When You Are Old" also landed on major charts, but the highest ranking was only second.

Because it is the first "Invisible Wings".

In terms of stage performance, as well as the reputation of the media and audience, "When You Are Old" is slightly better, but in terms of popularity and spread, it has to be "Invisible Wings".

In just two days after the Spring Festival Gala, the song "Invisible Wings" topped a music chart.

Since then, like opening Pandora's box, the music charts of all major music charts have been crazily slaughtered by this song. As of mid-February, this song has almost won the championship of 2% of the music charts, and the remaining 90% are the lowest. It is the top three.

Cao Xuan has been showing off his power on the charts for several years, but this time he was firmly suppressed by a song for the first time, and he couldn't turn over after repeated tossing.

Countless people in the industry and non-Cao Xuan fans gloated and rejoiced.

But it didn't take long for them to be happy, and they remembered that this song was written by Cao Xuan, the left hand hit the right hand, they were so happy.

They were not happy, but if they were happy, Hu Jing's fans were very happy.

No. [-] on the slaughter list, even Cao Xuan was pressed under his body and slapped, no one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry has this ability.

Zeng Li: "Ahem..."

Putting aside the pose, Hu Jing's "The Offering of Love" was once popular last year, and it reached the top of the chart at its peak. It was one of the hottest songs in 2002.

If Cao Xuan hadn't been too perverted and had too many Wang Zhas in his hand, this song might have entered the top ten songs of the year.

It is precisely because of the power of this song that even if Hu Jing only has one representative work, she has become one of the better-developed singers in the four small Huadan music circles.

Not to mention the bottom of the international chapter, Mr. Zhou's "Floating" is slightly less popular and successful. Only a certain Zhao can still take the top spot thanks to the theme songs of several national-level TV dramas.

Now that "Invisible Wings" comes out, with its excellent popularity of the song itself, coupled with the addition of the Spring Festival Gala, it is very likely that the top four singers will be replaced.

But it doesn't matter in itself, after all, the main battlefield of the Four Little Huadans is in film and television, and the music scene is just for making money or playing tickets.

Including Hu Jing also thinks so, otherwise she can release an album by herself under her conditions, but she didn't release it because she was not very interested.

But the owner doesn't care, the fans who like to tear up inside the Four Little Huadans will inevitably have new arguments, Hu Jing's fans are showing off, and everyone else is a little bit sour.

"What's so great, it still depends on men."

"Whether you want to rely on it or not, just a little bit."

Not to mention how the fans fell in love with each other and killed each other, this song really boosted Hu Jing a lot.

The most intuitive thing is not fame, but the cost of commercial performances, which has been directly doubled, attendance + singing, 40 to 60 per show, and there are many invitations.

For other artists, Fanxing would directly spread out, and the company would be able to earn millions in two months.

But Mrs. Hu is headstrong and ignores her, and Fanxing Company can't do anything about it. Everyone in the brokerage department knows that it's better to ask Mrs. Hu to go to a commercial show than to trick the boss into going in person.

But the price of Cao Xuan's commercial performance is hard to say.

In other words, it is no longer a matter of money, but that Cao Xuan does not accept commercial performances at all, and does not accept any amount of money spent. The few attending commercial events, except for endorsements, are all human favors.

It can be said that the king of making money in the commercial performance market in the mainland has now withdrawn from the arena.

However, there are still legends about him in the world of commercial performances. Every year, local tyrants spend a lot of money to invite Cao Xuan. Although they are basically declined, the various prices that spread out are also envied by countless artists.

.........

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, most people's annual leave ends, Cao Xuan also starts to work, and sends his parents back to his hometown by the way.

Hu Jing went to Fanxing's two film crews for a tour, and then flew back to Yunnan Province to celebrate the Spring Festival with her parents.

In the blink of an eye, Cao Xuan was the only one in the family who was in love with each other, but he was not lonely either. Mrs. Zeng Damei returned to Beijing ahead of schedule to prepare lessons.

This is the advantage of two daughters-in-law, never lacking companionship.

The end of February is the Grammy Awards ceremony, and Cao Xuan is going to fly to the United States. Before he leaves, he has one more thing to do.

In early and mid-February 2003, CCTV-MTV Music Festival and Taiwan Golden Melody Awards successively announced the establishment of a new organizing committee and the list of judges.

In previous years, not many people paid attention to the list of judges, and the public didn't know much about these judges.

But this year is different, because an unusually familiar name appears on the list.

Cao Xuan!

No. Member of the Organizing Committee of the 14th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards.

Vice Chairman of the Judging Committee of the Fifth CCTV-MTV Music Festival.

Everyone who didn't know the inside story was stupid, why did Cao Xuan become a judge instead of participating in the award.

Many knowledgeable people understand Cao Xuan's thoughts. On the one hand, he retreated bravely when he was at the peak, so as to avoid the embarrassment of declining popularity in the future.

On the other hand, it really doesn't matter to compete with those singers for awards. It's better to retreat behind the scenes and be a judge. Since you have a decent appearance, you also have the reputation of being generous and supporting the younger generation.

This trick is brilliant!
But the best is the best, and ordinary people can't learn it. They don't have the dominance of Cao Xuan, so it's hard to dominate the list for a long time, let alone retreat at the peak.

What's more important is that Cao Xuan has opened up a new battlefield. He wants to compete for honors to go to the Grammys, so he naturally doesn't pay much attention to domestic awards. Other singers are not as calm as him.

Even if they don't care about honor themselves, they still need awards to consolidate their positions and add luster to them.

Therefore, Cao Xuan can choose not to compete for the award in his prime, and others can only envy, but cannot follow suit.

But even so, Cao Xuan's 27-year-old role as one of the best music award judges in China is enough to make the industry sigh.

What is even more touching is that with Cao Xuan's achievements, he can directly serve as the chairman or honorary chairman, directly becoming the top card of this year's organizing committee.

But considering age and some qualifications, the position can only be discounted.

But Cao Xuan Cao Xuan himself is quite satisfied.

He is still young, and he has plenty of opportunities to rise to the top. He is not in a hurry to compete with the seniors for power.

Last year when he entered the Beijing Music Association, the leader immediately offered him a vice-chairman, so he pushed him away. He only served as a committee member, and he planned to talk about it after he was 30 years old.

In addition, Cao Xuan's schedule is too busy. If he is really asked to be the leader, responsible for selection and management, he will not be able to spare time.

Therefore, a high-ranking and leisurely position such as vice chairman or honorary chairman is very suitable for him, and the committee is also fine.

In any case, Cao Xuan served as the judge of the two awards, and to some extent, everyone was happy.

Fans of Cao Xuan feel that they are well-respected. Anyway, they have already won a lot of awards. The judges are even more awesome. The other singers and their fans are also happy. Without Cao Xuan, the big devil, it is finally their turn to take the lead.

Especially the Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, Cao Xuan has dominated for three full years, and the male singers of the same period have also accompanied him for three full years, and now he is finally looking forward to his early days.

Xiao Zhou is gearing up to prepare for the new king to ascend the throne.

At this time, Wang Lihong didn't have any divorce troubles in the later generations, and she was concentrating on it, and planned to become the second golden song king.

There are also Yu Chengqing, Tao Zhe, Lin Zhixuan, Chen Yixun from Xiangjiang, etc., who are also ambitious.

Cao Xuan and the others are still afraid of three points, but the other male singers are not too strong, and it is still unknown who will win.

This year's awards were postponed, moving from the original May and June to August and September, which also gave them room to charge forward, and the music scene was full of gunpowder for a while.

But this has nothing to do with Cao Xuan.

At that time, he will participate in the meeting or vote remotely according to the time indicated by the organizing committee. When the day of the award ceremony is reached, he may be present to cheer and present the award.

But in the end who wins the prize is not something Cao Xuan can control alone, and he doesn't care much.

Anyway, no matter who takes it, he is Brother Xuan's good brother...

Cao Xuan, who has always been a bowl of water, sent cheering text messages to several younger brothers, encouraging them to work hard. Brother Xuan's vote will always be a good brother.

However, he did not specify who the good brother is. Anyway, the vote is kept secret, and the brotherhood will be discussed first.

On February 2th, Cao Xuan took care of the matter at hand and flew to New York, USA to participate in the No.20 40th Grammy.
