China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 381 How can it be compared with Xiao Lizi?

The next day, news about the award ceremony + concert was overwhelming.

Hundreds of stars came to the scene in person, double-digit big names and queens + almost all the top stars of the new generation of music, and several international big names.

In terms of the lineup alone, it has surpassed last year's Spring Festival Gala. There are many good shows, and all kinds of reports are flooding newspapers, magazines and the Internet.

"The 5th CCTV Music Festival ended, Sun Nan became the third best mainland male singer of the year after Liu Huan and Cao Xuan"

Since the award was established in 1999, the Best Male Singer in the Mainland has been awarded 5 times. Except for Liu Huan for the first time, Cao Xuan won the other 3 times.

Sun Nan, the second child in the mainland for thousands of years, finally got his wish, and it is really unreasonable not to get a report.

There is one thing to say, although this year's CCTV-MTV Music Festival is mainly about the awards ceremony, but in fact, there is not much to say about the awards.

Basically, there is no controversy.

Many people in the industry also praised this year's session as the most fair and objective.

The winners are basically not too different from the industry or the public. There are only a few of them, and they are not particularly important awards, and they are reasonable and innocuous.

But sometimes the reality is so fucked up, the awards have fairness, but there is no so-called "surprise", and there is very little attention. If you come to something controversial, the traffic will be rushing.

In fact, if this year's awards were presented normally, the traffic should not be low, and Xiao Zhou and the others who won awards are considered top-notch.

However, other key aspects are so popular that almost no one pays attention to the awards. Except for the normal broadcast, most of the news revolves around the awards.

"The audience is the most eye-catching, the stars stand up to welcome, Cao Xuan shows the domineering Chinese brother"

"Century Enters the Stage - "Brother Xuan" of the New Generation of Chinese Music"

"Cao Tianwang is so powerful on both sides of the strait, the stars of the three places bow their heads and proclaim their vassals"

"The Four Heavenly Kings Arrive Together, The Mainland's First Time on the Same Stage"

"Feng, Fei, Zhi Zhi love triangle appears, how much face Cao Xuan has"

"International superstars gathered, the strongest concert in history"

"Four Divas from Japan, South Korea and Latin America, the concert is still the Gossip Girl Shura Field"

"Cao Xuan and Mei Yanfang join hands in "When the Wind Rises Again", a tribute and inheritance"

"Five Heavenly Kings + Divas Sing Double Songs Together, Farewell was one of the themes of last night"

"..."

At the awards ceremony last night, Cao Xuan didn't win a single award, and the awards were only shown for a while + Jia Dai received an award, and returned it to Sister Mei.

The only highlight of the whole process was singing "When the Wind Blows" with Sister Mei.

But no one will ignore the existence of Cao Xuan, and all the lace reports are basically based on him. Even if the four heavenly kings are on the same stage, they are far less popular than him.

Cao Xuan entered the stage, and countless new generation singers stood up to greet him. The video of Brother Qi Chengxuan went viral on the Internet, and many people watched with excitement.

Cao Xuan's fans are all kinds of rainbow farts. Other fans are a little bit sour, but they have to admit that once this video comes out, unless there are some people who can get a few Grammys, otherwise this group of singers of the same generation will always be short of Cao Xuan one head.

At the same time, there was another photo that was circulated wildly——

In the guest area, Shakira hugged Cao Xuan's shoulder and laughed. Cao Xuan listened to Avril and talked to Avril. Li Zhenxian and Ayumi Hamasaki on the other side looked at him obediently and curiously.

Not far away are the four heavenly kings who are eating melons watching the show, and several domestic actresses with complex expressions.

How should I put it, thanks to the good reputation of Cao Xuan, the popularity of this photo surpasses the video of Cao Xuan becoming king to a certain extent.

The status in the music world may only be paid more attention to by fans, but after Cao Tianwang "hooked up" overseas for four days, it is definitely a gossip that everyone who eats melons loves to hear.

Unlike most scandals, this time because of the halo of "winning the country", most of them are praises, female compatriots or fans who express dissatisfaction.

Of course, it's not like they didn't have the inside story. An insider broke the news at Tianya, saying that the Japanese and Korean queens were not invited by Cao Xuan, and that Ayumi Hamasaki had never even met Cao Xuan.

But it's useless, who cares if you are tricky or not, just eat melons and you're done.

Besides, even if Ayumi Hamasaki doesn't know Cao Xuan, it's hard to say for Li Zhenxian. He had a scandal in Korea before, and he is still boycotted by many Korean male fans.

There are many Korean students who have come forward to say this, saying that Cao Xuan is so popular among Korean girls, but he is so annoying among boys.

It's a bit like those Korean wave boy groups, domestic female fans love it to death, and boys are sissy and silly when they mention it.

However, in the past year, because Cao Xuan has won glory for Asians on the Billboard and Grammys, his word of mouth has somewhat recovered, but overall, he is still not very popular with Korean men.

On the other hand, after Li Zhenxian came to China to develop, whether it was out of enthusiasm or to find an excuse to get closer to the Chinese audience, she often mentioned Cao Xuan in interviews, and even claimed that Cao Xuan was her idol.

Therefore, the outside world still believes in the scandal between Cao Xuan and Li Zhenxian. When Baidu searched for Li Zhenxian, 10 of the 5 pages were related to the scandal between her and Cao Xuan.

Many people in Shakira know that she and Cao Xuan are good friends. To be honest, they are a bit close, but considering her passionate personality, it makes sense, and she has a boyfriend in all seriousness.

However, Cao Xuan's surname is Cao, and he is still a high-ranking official. Maybe the more women he owns, the more excited he is.

So although Cao Xuan has clarified many times, this Latin queen still hasn't escaped the "trouble" of the scandal.

But generally speaking, this person's scandal attributes are not too high, and Avril Lavigne is the most recognized by the media and the outside world.

Firstly, the popular fried chicken in Europe and the United States, one of the top in the United States, faintly has the posture of the top in the world, and in the eyes of many people in China, it is more valuable than the Latin queen.

Second, Shakira, Li Zhenxian and others have little interaction with Cao Xuan, which is far-fetched, but there are more news about Avril and Cao Xuan together.

The relationship at the Grammy Awards Ceremony was even ambiguous, and Avril Lavigne made no secret of her admiration for Cao Xuan, which has been widely reported by the American media.

Cao Xuan clarified that scandals are usually summed up as friends, but Avril Lavigne is the "sister".

In China, this "sister" can have many meanings, at least in everyone's opinion, Cao Xuan is still a little different to Avril.

And two days later, a reporter named Han Bingjiang from "Star Bigstar" took photos of the two of them traveling together on the Great Wall, which instantly sparked the scandal between Cao Xuan and Avril Lavigne.

This reporter named Han Bingjiang is a popular paparazzi this year. In August, Liu Xiaoqing was released from prison. Because he was afraid that the reporter would be stuck, he deliberately delayed his release for two days. As a result, the leader insisted on waiting at the door for two more days. .

Han Bingjiang has also become famous since then, and later changed his name to Zhuo Wei, earning a huge reputation, known as the number one paparazzi.

After this guy became famous, he wanted to make another big one, so he took aim at Cao Xuan.

In his early years, Cao Xuan often dealt with paparazzi. At his peak, he was surrounded by several cars every day. Those who knew were paparazzi photographing celebrities, but those who didn’t knew that they thought they were arresting people in plain clothes.

But this year was a watershed, Cao Xuan rarely had paparazzi around him anymore.

The reason is very simple, "Legend of Hot Blood" became popular, Cao Xuan's net worth soared, and under various investment layouts, the social resources he could use and the connections he made had already jumped out of the celebrity level.

From then on, Cao Xuan asked someone to say hello to the major media offices, and the number of paparazzi around him immediately decreased by 90%.

The media is not stupid. With Cao Xuan's wealth and energy, the benefits obtained by sending out are far worse than using it to show favor and make friends with Cao Xuan himself.

Moreover, the control over celebrities is not so strict these days, and Cao Xuan is famous for his flirtatiousness. Even if some photos are actually taken, it will not affect the overall situation if they are sent out.

But at the same time, the price is to offend a rising entertainment boss and business star.

How to balance, many people can easily think clearly.

Of course, other newspapers also have to eat, so Cao Xuan has never prevented others from firing him. Anyway, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have real hammers except for the East and West Palaces.

But I didn't expect that this time, because Avril Lavigne came to Beijing, Cao Xuan, as the host and elder brother, led him around the Great Wall and the Summer Palace, and then was bumped into by Han Bingjiang.

This guy used to hang out in Jinmen, so he probably didn't understand the rules of the capital, or he was so complacent after becoming famous that he didn't take Cao Xuan seriously.

And the "Star Bigstar" he works for belongs to Guangguang, and the founder is Zeng Guangming. It was originally from "Southern Metropolis Daily", and was later recruited by Boss Wang to create this entertainment magazine.

"Star Bigstar" has just been established this year, and it is determined to make it big. The whole team is bold. Han Bingjiang dares to shoot, and Zeng Guangming dares to post.

Then things got serious. Some people took the lead, and the media didn't care about it. The scandal between Cao Xuan and Avril was rampant, and even the United States reprinted the report.

Cao Xuan, who was about to go abroad, had no choice but to respond—there was no love affair, and he was just a friend and host for a tour of the capital.

Then Mr. Cao rarely backfired, and he just took pictures of the paparazzi, and he knew that he would not be able to stop everyone.

The key point is that "Star Bigstar" is under Guangguang's banner. He had greeted Lao Wang in advance, but now he backtracked. Isn't he playing tricks on him?

Guangguang soon found out, and the president of Guangguang, Mr. Wang, personally called to apologize.

In the past two years, Guangguang's variety show business has been in full swing. At the same time, it also thought of opening up new territory and getting involved in the distribution and production business.

For these two items, Fanxing has given them a lot of help, especially distribution. The development momentum of Fanxing Cinemas is strong, and any fool can see that it will become one of the giants of domestic cinemas in the future.

Guangguang wanted to develop a film distribution business, so he definitely didn't want to have an enemy with Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan didn't want to have a falling out with Guang Guang, but just made a request and fired Han Bingjiang.

Old Wang hesitated a little, and killed the donkey. If Guang Guang did this, the people below would be disappointed.

Cao Xuan mentioned "Tomorrow's Star". Although Fanxing can come by himself, Guangguang has rich experience and contacts, and participating in part of the promotion is good for the show.

At the same time, this can be regarded as a small piece of cake for Guangguang. More importantly, if he doesn't accept it, he will really offend Cao Xuan. Lao Wang hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold back.

The next day, when Han Bingjiang came to work in "Star Bigstar", he was called to the office by the guilty general manager.

Half an hour later, the distraught Han Bingjiang walked out of the magazine with his luggage in his arms.

When I got home, I made a round of phone calls, wanting to see if I could find a new job, but no surprises, all of them declined.

Just kidding, Guang Guang has already fired the person, and taking over at this time, it is not clear that he will have to quarrel with Cao Xuan, it is not worth it.

Just as Han Bingjiang was feeling desperate and was about to return to Jinmen or switch careers to an advertising company, he received a call.

"I'm Cao Xuan. You come to Fengyun Studio to work as the deputy editor-in-chief. Your monthly salary is 30% higher than yours, and the bonus is generous."

Han Bingjiang was stunned, thought for a long time, and reported to Fengyun studio the next day.

This series of operations fooled the masses.

At first, when Han Bingjiang was fired, everyone felt sad and felt sorry for Cao Xuan, who felt that Cao Xuan was too domineering, but in the end he was recruited, promoted and raised.

Soon some sensible people figured it out. This is Cao Xuan killing chickens to scare monkeys. With Han Bingjiang as a vivid example, many paparazzi dare not provoke him again.

Fire first, then recruit.

Both kindness and grace!

The most important thing is that Cao Xuan didn't dirty his hands from the beginning to the end. He gave up some benefits and made Guangguang a villain. He even offered a favor in the end, but everyone understood what was going on.

Now it seems that Han Bingjiang's result is good, but if no paparazzi dare to try and take a sneak shot of Cao Xuan again, what will happen.

But one must not be two, Han Bingjiang was lucky, Cao Xuan just wanted to beat them, and didn't intend to kill them all, and it would be a pure provocation if he did it again.

It's fine to be expelled and blocked, it's too easy to lose a leg these days...

Cao Xuan didn't seem to make any movements, but the energy he showed inadvertently made the paparazzi feel chilly. They only dared to babble in private, but didn't dare to fart in public.

From then on, in the hearts of the paparazzi, Cao Xuan was not a forbidden place, but no one dared to touch it easily.

Everyone is wise to follow the crowd to stir up gossip, and occasionally take photos of friends having dinner or the scene of the crew's activities, but the real private life is rarely reported in the newspapers.

Cao Xuan was also very satisfied with this result, because of Goldfinger, he was also considered a half-paparazzi, and he understood the thoughts of these people too well.

Bully the weak and fear the hard, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!
This is also human nature, but it is especially magnified among paparazzi.

No matter how hard they brag, what restores the public to the truth, blah blah, but in essence they make money by secretly filming the private lives of other celebrities.

A real social reporter goes deep into the front line, digs out many social truths regardless of hardships and dangers, that is a real hero and an admirable journalist.

And this gang of Yuji paparazzi are gossip providers at best, and blood-sucking bugs lying in the entertainment circle at worst.

Of course, the entertainment industry itself is not clean, everyone just eats dogs, and it's not like anyone looks down on anyone.

Cao Xuan himself didn't have a deep dislike for the paparazzi, and even had a bit of a passion for it, but out of self-preservation, he didn't hesitate to suppress and beat him.

The paparazzi secretly took pictures to make money, not to risk their lives for excitement. When they realized that Cao Xuan was difficult to mess with, they would stay away, yelling, and actually coaxed him faster than anyone else.

After all, he is not a star, so Cao Xuan can't afford to provoke, so he only provokes those who can.

As for Han Bingjiang, it was a chicken that Cao Xuan casually pushed out. He kept it for a few years and then let him go.

Fengyun studio is based on news reports, and is not very interested in paparazzi candid shots. Han Bingjiang's restless heart will not stay here for long.

Therefore, Cao Xuan did not intend to take him under his command, after all, without him, the future entertainment industry would be much less lively.

Anyway, after this one time, as long as Han Bingjiang doesn't lose his mind, he won't dare to shoot Cao Xuan again.

What's more, Cao Xuan is his boss now, and to some extent he is considered "kind" to him. Repaying his kindness with revenge and backstabbing his old boss is easy to be spurned by others.

If Cao Xuan can deal with him once, he can be blocked by the whole network for the second time.

To put it bluntly, with the gray style of these paparazzi, it is not difficult to send it in directly.

.........

For Cao Xuan, the future No. [-] paparazzi is not a big deal. He made a phone call but didn't even see him face to face.

Compared with it, it is more important to coax good things in the Second Palace, and the two of them still pay more attention to Avril Lavigne.

Zeng Linan took the stage to take an oath of sovereignty.

Regarding this aspect, the two have always had a clear division of labor, and each has their own strengths. Normally, it is Hu Jing who comes forward. She is famous and has a high status, and she can easily make many women feel ashamed.

But Avril is different, as a European and American queen, the other party's reputation is even higher than that of Hu Jing, and the Empress of the East Palace is afraid that she will not be able to suppress this little girl.

So, this time it was Zeng Damei's turn to face the enemy, the teacher of China's highest art school + master's student, the school's intellectual line, easily slapped Avril who had never been to high school.

Avril looked at the demure and intellectual Zeng Li, feeling somewhat inferior.

No one is taller, no one is big, no one is white, no one has a good education...

Seeing Cao Xuan's slightly proud expression when he mentioned Zeng Li's occupation and education, she felt that Cao Xuan might like this kind of highly educated women, which is also normal. Many celebrities and wealthy businessmen in the United States also favor such women.

Cao Xuan saw that Avril had misunderstood. When he and Zeng Li were together, they didn't have any qualifications or teachers. That was all later.

What he values ​​are people, not some highly educated women. In terms of education, the other real concubine is not bad.

He graduated from Yonsei University, one of the largest universities in South Korea. It is equivalent to Kyung University and Mizuki in South Korea. Of course, there are few universities in South Korea, so there is no comparison, but it is better than art schools like Chinese opera.

But he didn't explain it, no matter the misunderstanding, Avril Lavigne and Zeng Li's temperament and personality were too far apart, thinking that he didn't like her type, so maybe he stopped thinking.

But when the two went to the United States together, and heard Avril Lavigne thinking about finding a university for further study, he felt that he might be thinking too much.

"Avril, don't change yourself for just one person, it's unnecessary and not worth it."

Cao Xuan couldn't help persuading, Avril nodded obediently, but Cao Xuan was not sure how much he listened to, so he simply pointed it out.

"I have a very good relationship with Zeng Li. We are going to have a baby in two years."

"Does sister Hu know?"

"..."

Looking at Cao Xuan who suddenly looked confused, Avril smiled like a little fox, and couldn't help showing off.

"I know, you have several girlfriends, Zeng, Hu, and Jia. It seems that there are Fan and Gao, just like Leonardo. Girlfriends can form two football teams."

"That's slander!"

Cao Daguan was very angry. Xiao Lizi had more than 50 girlfriends, and he only had two. How can they be compared.

"Those are all fake, just like the scandal between the two of us, they are all fake."

"No wind, no wave."

Avril Lavigne stumbled out these five words in Chinese, then blinked at Cao Xuan and smiled mischievously.

"Besides, who said that the scandal between the two of us is fake, I really like you."

Cao Xuan tugged at his collar, a little speechless: "Even if those scandals are true, I have so many girlfriends, including a playboy, you like me, don't you just jump into the pit yourself?"

"I am willing."

Avril groaned softly, and looked at Cao Xuan stubbornly, while Cao Xuan turned his head and gave her the back of his head.

This girl is purely superior!

With the sprouting of youth, she met a man with excellent conditions in all aspects. She couldn't help but like him, but her confession was rejected, which aroused her dissatisfaction.

No matter how playful or scumbag this man is, she just wants to take him down, prove her charm, and relieve her youthful heart.

Perhaps at this time, Avril not only liked Cao Xuan, but also mixed with many other emotions.

For example, the obsession with the first love object, the desire of women to win and lose, the possessive desire of women for outstanding men, the stubbornness that becomes more and more courageous when frustrated, and the rebelliousness that becomes more and more persuasive when others persuade...

A punk rock girl nicknamed Little Witch is destined to think differently from ordinary girls.

Cao Xuan didn't know what to do anymore, so he could only deal with it coldly, after all, she was a little girl, and maybe after a while, he would lose his temper and forget about him.

"Girl, don't play with fire."

Avril licked her lower lip, and looked at Cao Xuan provocatively: "Come on, who is afraid of whom?"

"cut."

Cao Xuan smiled disdainfully. If he remembers correctly, this girl is religious, so she is quite conservative in that regard. He doesn't believe that the other party is willing to easily break the pre-marital vows. "

"Ahem, don't make trouble, talk about business."

"This time you came to China, I found that you are very popular in Asia, I can go back and discuss with your company, and I can develop more business in Asia.

On the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Fanxing has some connections. In Japan, Korea and Singapore, I can also contact you with some people. If you want to develop in Asia, you can cooperate with Fanxing. "

Fanxing is absolutely capable of undertaking all kinds of domestic business for overseas artists, especially in the mainland, Fanxing is definitely one of the best brokerage companies.

Before, many Hong Kong and Taiwan artists wanted to be affiliated, and wanted to hand over the mainland business to Fanxing.

Since Cao Xuan intends to focus on developing film and television production, and also doesn't like this small amount of money, he ignores it. However, if there is a chance, it is still very good to win some European and American celebrity business.

It's not that Cao Xuan worships foreigners, but that European and American stars are influential in China. Basically, they are all famous stars in the world, and most of them have a certain popularity and support in Asia.

Among the Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, a few top-notch ones are making money, but the companies don't let go at all. Those who want to be affiliated with Fanxing are mostly second- and third-tier, and Cao Xuan doesn't like that little money.

But this group of European and American big-name stars is different. The related business commissions are high, and it will increase the overall value of Fanxing.

Wang Jinhua's original time and space is better than other managers, that is, he has signed a group of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and it seems that there is a lineup.

Similarly, having a group of European and American big names under his command is also a very impressive achievement for Fan Xing.

The most important thing is that if they can win the business of a few European and American stars in Asia, Fanxing can take advantage of this to attack the Asian market, and even introduce Fanxing's own artists.

For example, Liu Tianxian entering the Japanese record market by himself is completely different from entering with Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift, Shakira, Adele, and Rihanna.

Even if it's just a little bit of enthusiasm, it's stronger than myself alone, and maybe it can turn around and march into Europe and the United States...

Although this routine is very difficult to implement in practice, and it may not work, there is always no harm in having multiple cards.

"Okay, I'll go back and discuss with the agents."

Cao Xuan was afraid of going off fire, and Avril was also yelling fiercely, but she didn't dare to take the real thing.

Hastily responded to Cao Xuan's proposal, remembering the temperature and changes in his hands just now, his face blushed twice.
