Chapter 384 The richest man in the country?The new little brother is Cristiano Ronaldo
After signing the contract of intent, Cao Xuan exchanged a few words with little Edgar, and then hurriedly got on the plane to Europe.
After taking 10% of Warner Music's shares, Cao Xuan's cash flow is a bit tight, and he has to postpone the purchase of a private jet.
But it doesn't take too long, the new album "Release" is a big hit, and the follow-up dividends are enough to make Cao Xuan eat a lot of fat.
There is also an endorsement, both BMW and Samsung are planning to find him, and they are now negotiating, this time going abroad for publicity, Cao Xuan will also meet with the relevant person in charge of BMW and Samsung Group.
Especially for Samsung, the negotiation has basically come to an end.
The 5-year long-term contract is still a step-by-step clause. If Cao Xuan can fulfill all the conditions, he can almost win the endorsement fee of 5500 million US dollars.
However, some of the conditions are very strict, and Cao Xuan is not very confident, but even so, as long as his anger is not broken, it should be no problem to get 5 million U.S. dollars in five years.
This is also the biggest contract Cao Xuan has signed so far.
Of course, the main reason is that Pepsi is a VAM contract. The maximum annual income can reach 2000 million US dollars, and the minimum annual income is 200 million. It all depends on Cao Xuan’s annual popularity and the help he provides to Pepsi. The calculation is complicated, so it is not listed alongside ordinary endorsement contracts. .
But no matter what, this big contract also made Cao Xuan take the time to go to South Korea to attend the signing ceremony.
Then, you can book a private jet with the cheap old man's money...
So far, endorsement, American album dividends and copyright revenue are Cao Xuan's important income, with tens of millions of dollars per year, second only to the cash cow box game under Cao Xuan's command.
In addition, Cao Xuan also has two important incomes, Fanxing and Sunshine Venture Capital.
Needless to say about the former, including Guolan Entertainment, the two companies' investment in film and television and variety shows in the past two years has not low return rate. In addition, artists have gradually become famous, and they have begun to make a lot of profits.
However, since Fanxing is in a stage of rapid development, except for Cao Xuan's dividends and endorsement fees, most of the money earned is kept for personal use to continue investment and increase development.
Even if the theater chain and film and television city are counted under the name of Fanxing, Cao Xuan would invest a lot of money in it every year.
Fortunately, a lot of land and assets in theaters and movie studios can be mortgaged, which greatly saves money. Otherwise, Cao Xuan might not be able to easily withdraw 2 million US dollars in one go.
As for Sunshine Ventures, Cao Xuanyang's investment team has not been idle for two years.
In addition to monitoring Cao Xuan's investment assets, he has also been using Cao Xuan's spare funds for short- and medium-term investment operations, and the book results are also good.
Not long ago, Sunshine Ventures invested in an Australian technology company last year, which is now being acquired by Panasonic and GM.
At that time, the 120% stake of Sunshine Venture Capital raised US$35 million, and now it has increased more than ten times in one breath.
The return of at least tens of millions of dollars is the largest profitable project independently invested by the investment team of Sunshine Venture Capital apart from Cao Xuan's command.
This is mainly because Cao Xuan is relatively restrained, and easily prevents the company from intervening in the stock and financial markets.
Cao Xuan is an angel investor, not a stock god. He doesn't understand the stock market, so he won't get involved easily.
There are only a few big bull stocks in the impression, perhaps with the help of professionals, send someone to make a small fortune.
Therefore, under the influence of Cao Xuan, Sunshine Venture Capital is basically a short-to-medium term corporate investment.
Although these investments are high in investment and slow in recovering funds, they are safe and secure. The assets under control have sufficient preservation rates, and some of them can even be mortgaged directly.
It is conservatively estimated that Sunshine Ventures’ current assets, including shares in Penguin, Warner Music, several game companies in Korea, shares in Septwolves, and other investments, are worth at least US$6-8 million.
Of course, Box Games, Fanxing Entertainment/Cinema/Film City, Guolan Entertainment, Tomorrow Charity Fund, Light and Shadow Special Effects Company, Baihua Recording Studio, Caoshangfei Private Restaurant and other industries.
As well as dozens of courtyard houses and half apartments in Caoxuan, several large flats and villas in Shanghai, and a dozen houses in Shenzhen... need to be calculated separately.
How should I put it, count all these miscellaneous things, and squeeze out the moisture of those market value estimates.
Rounding up, Cao Xuan's real net worth is about US$10 billion, which is just over 80 billion when converted into RMB.
If this asset enters the Forbes China Rich List, it will at least be in the top ten, and it may even be in the top three during the economic downturn.
After all, Netease's pig farmer became the richest man in the country at the beginning of this year, and his assets are only 80-90 billion yuan.
Shanda's Chen Tianqiao doesn't earn as much as box games. He is the main operator of "Legend of Hot Blood", and his personal assets are valued at nearly 50 billion.
If the valuations of Cao Xuan's companies are all included, it's hard to say that the 80 billion will be doubled, and it will definitely be a few percent increase.
Cao Da's richest man is directly capped!
But Cao Xuan has always felt that such a calculation is meaningless. In two years, the eldest lady of Country Garden will directly reach the top with 1200 billion assets, and her net worth alone will surpass the sum of the top ten richest people at that time.
But it's useless at all, let alone 1200 billion, she can't even get 100 billion. In less than two years, her net worth has shrunk several times, and in three years it has dropped to more than 100 billion.
It reached the top in 2006, and in 2009, there were no people in the top fifteen of the rich list. Later, with the prosperity of the real estate industry, it slowly rose again.
And more importantly, Cao Xuan knew that the group of people on the list was only a part of the richest people in the country.
In recent years, he can be regarded as a new star in business, and he has met with many big names in the industry sporadically to understand the real situation.
Including him, Mr. Cao, there are a lot of rich people hidden under the water, but they don't want to be on the list because of low-key or other reasons.
If they all show their net worth, not to mention the mainland rich list, even the top ten in Asia may not be unable to give it a go.
Having said that, now that Li Cucumber, who is the second largest in Asia, has a net worth of about US$100 billion, it doesn't make much sense for Cao Xuan to become the "richest man in the country".
If he can step on this old guy, Cao Xuan doesn't mind being on the list and pretending to be a guy, but if he can't step on it, then forget it.
Cao Xuan calculated his assets, and the rest may not change much and rise steadily.
Only when Penguin goes public next year, it should be able to rise a wave, but the proportion of shares will also decrease. "Legend of Blood" will reach its final peak next year, but then it will fall sharply.
Although with the help of Cao Xuan, "Legend of Hot Blood" has fewer copyright disputes than the original time and space, and although there are many private servers, they are not fatal.
However, with the changes in the online game market, and more and more people sucking blood on "Legend of Hot Blood", the various disadvantages of this game have become irreversible, and the decline in popularity is inevitable.
Therefore, Cao Xuan intends to sell it before 2005, together with the agency rights of "Legend of Hot Blood" and related games, and the shares of the two Korean companies.
Obviously, the first choice for buyers is Shanda, and the ambitious Chen Tianqiao has long wanted to get rid of the shadow of box games.
On the one hand, I want to be the only cash cow of "Legend of Hot Blood", and on the other hand, I am actively developing other projects. The small actions behind the past two years have not stopped.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan has been on guard against him, and while the two sides maintain close cooperation, they also continue to fight openly and secretly.
It's not that Shanda didn't have other profitable projects in the past two years, but in general, the "Legend" series of games is the most profitable and famous.
Chen Tianqiao has long coveted the agency of the "Legend" series of games, and Shanda plans to go public. If he can fully control the "Legend" series, it will greatly promote Shanda's road to listing.
It can be said that as long as Cao Xuan wants to let go, Chen Tianqiao will take the "Legend" series at all costs.
As for the shares of the Korean game company, Lao Chen must be very interested. Even if he does not have enough funds, the two companies have always wanted to repurchase the shares, anyway, they don't have to worry about selling them.
It is conservatively estimated that this proxy + shares can also earn Cao Xuan a few hundred million dollars, and it must be US dollars.
The specific fluctuation depends on the popularity potential of "Legend" at that time, as well as the funds and urgency of the two companies.
Anyway, Cao Xuan plans to get rid of the card before 2005, even if it is a loss on the surface, it doesn't matter. Maybe it looks like a loss in the short term, but when the "Legend" series is over, we will know who has made a profit.
Of course, the IP "Legend" is valuable. After a period of downturn, it has regained its vitality in terms of mobile and web games.
From this point of view, Cao Xuan didn't count them as a scam, and of course he himself was even more unlikely to lose money. The IP of "Legend" was valuable, and other games were even more valuable.
For example, "World of Warcraft" developed and launched next year.
You know, Blizzard's parent company is called Vivendi, and Vivendi has a shareholder named Edgar Jr.
Cao Xuan can definitely get the exclusive agency right of "World of Warcraft" in China through the relationship of little Edgar, coupled with Box Game's top position in the domestic game industry and huge funds.
Everyone knows how profitable "World of Warcraft" is. If it can win the agency rights, it will not be weaker than the "Legend" series and become another cash cow of box games.
But if this is the case, Jiucheng Zhu, the former owner of Time and Space, may not be able to afford Shenhua.
It is also difficult for the Chinese Super League to welcome the biggest superstar in history, Drogba in Africa, but it is not bad, it is better than the arrears of wages owed to African brothers...
Half of the money recovered from the "Legend" series still has to be placed in the box game's account to acquire, develop, and operate new games.
Before the complete rise of Penguin and Fanxing, the box game was Cao Xuan's biggest asset.
.........
After calculating all his assets, Cao Xuan got off the plane in Paris, France, and checked into a hotel.
After chatting with Warner Europe's staff about the promotion process, Cao Xuan, who planned to adjust his biological clock, was about to watch the replay of the game when he called.
It was Nishinomiya Empress Zeng Damei.
After answering the phone, Cao Xuan counted with his fingers: "It's midnight in China, why haven't you slept yet?"
"A little insomnia, read the text message you sent just now, I want to chat with you to relieve boredom."
"Still because of that?"
"Ah."
Empress Xigong replied sullenly, and Cao Xuan smiled wryly.
Zeng Damei has been very annoying these few days. When he was promoting in the United States, she got into trouble.
The famous second-generation "six sons" beating incident!
As the son of a famous film and television star, and also a top student in Chinese opera, this matter was quickly noticed by the media and reported widely.
The difference from the original time and space is that Nishinomiya Empress stepped in this time.
Because the person who was beaten was a student in her own class, and the person involved was rather vague, Nishinomiya first thought it was domestic violence caused by emotional disputes.
An ordinary female college student, a second-generation star perpetrator.
Coupled with his own student filter, Zeng Li was inevitably deceived, so much so that he almost got into a fight with the sixth son and father at first.
Although the Empress of the West Palace does not seem to have a sense of presence, she actually has a lot of resources at her disposal, not to mention that the Empress of the East Palace is now allied with her.
It doesn't matter how the two quarrel in private, when facing foreign enemies, they have always been on the same page.
Hearing this "tragedy", out of women's empathy, Hu Jing was naturally filled with righteous indignation.
East and West Ergong teamed up, and Fengyun Studio immediately concocted several "Discussion Six Essays". Artists under Fanxing, many students from Class 96 of Chinese Opera, and other friends from Ergong and even Cao Xuan also notified in place, ready to speak out.
Let's put it this way, if Cao Xuan hadn't stopped him in time, it would have been an upgraded version of the top-level "knife training".
Not to mention the six sons, even his father followed suit......
Under Cao Xuan's conciliatory reminder, Zeng Li calmed down and started chatting with the six sons, and learned that it was his own student who cheated first.
It was only then that Zeng Li realized that he had almost made a big mistake. He called the students to confront each other, and then revealed that another director of the Chinese opera was not cheating, but an unspoken rule.
The six sons and their sons planned to have a fight with Ya, and Zeng Li also tried to fight for the inappropriateness of the teacher, intending to seek justice for the students, and the two sides cooperated to deal with the court.
In the end, at the critical moment, it was reversed again. Everything was directed and acted by the students themselves. If you like me, Nishinomiya Niangniang was used as a gun twice.
This incident dealt a great blow to Zeng Li, anyone who wholeheartedly helped others would end up being played around by others, and would not be in a good mood.
She even offended many school leaders for this. After all, as a teacher of Chinese opera, she exposed her family's ugliness and joined forces with outsiders to make troubles. If she hadn't been a star teacher and Cao Xuan's relationship, she wouldn't have been able to be the head teacher even if she didn't leave her job.
So Mr. Zeng has been depressed for several days these days, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to find Cao Xuan to talk about his concerns.
Cao Xuan explained again, coaxed her for a long time, and finally made her happy, her mood eased a lot, and she was ready to sleep.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Xuan took a deep breath, drank two sips of British local black tea, his eyes flickered.
In fact, this matter could have been completely avoided if he acted in time, but it was inconvenient for him to be abroad, and he also intended to let Zeng Li suffer a small loss.
Perhaps it was his first time as a teacher, and Zeng Li was too nice to those students, beyond the scope of a normal teacher.
As the saying goes, the favor of the rising rice fights the hatred of the rice.
No matter how good Zeng Li did, it was impossible to satisfy everyone. She thought that if she devoted her heart and soul to the students, they might think you were partial.
Besides, there are quite a few students in Class 02 of the Chinese Opera who are not good at fault, and will suffer a lot in the future. If they ask Zeng Li for help, is it possible that Empress Nishinomiya will wipe their butts again?
So Cao Xuan intends to take this opportunity to teach Mr. Zeng a lesson.
The teacher is not the parents of the students, even if he is good to the students, there is a limit, and not all the students are the good babies in her heart.
What can I say, the effect is outstanding.
If it weren't for Cao Xuan's consolation, Teacher Zeng would have almost resigned because of the cold.
Although she continues to serve as the head teacher of China Opera 02 and will continue to be her own good teacher, she may have great reservations in many cases.
Especially the student involved, who was originally one of Mr. Zeng's favorite students.
But from now on, the two only have a teacher-student relationship on the surface, and the other fate is exhausted. She will not say a word for the other party, nor will she do anything for the other party.
Even with Class 02 of Chinese Opera, Mr. Zeng originally planned to contact some production crews next summer vacation, but now he has rested his mind, and whoever has the ability will join.
Unless there are a few students she really likes, she will push most students when they encounter a suitable opportunity, but she will not take the initiative to make various contacts to win opportunities for them.
From this point of view, Cao Xuan felt that Mr. Zeng's lesson was worthwhile, and taking a small loss is a big advantage.
The next day, Cao Xuan accepted an exclusive interview program of French TV station [-].
In fact, in Europe, Cao Xuan’s album songs have the greatest influence in English-speaking countries. In non-English-speaking countries such as France, Germany, and Italy, it cannot be said that they are not popular at all, and they are definitely not as good as in English-speaking countries.
Cao Xuan's most important influence in these countries is the two identities of China's heavenly king and European and American music supernova.
Everyone recognizes that he is a popular singer in the world, but in terms of the influence of his albums, it has not yet reached the point where he has been released nationwide.
The new album "Release" was released globally simultaneously, and now in early January, the cumulative number of copies in European countries has exceeded 130 million.
Among them, the United Kingdom alone has more than 50 copies, and several countries in Northern Europe use English as common language, barely making up 50 copies, and the rest are other European countries.
Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that the Internet has not yet risen, and European countries are relatively closed, so it is difficult for an English album to cause a shock in Europe.
Of course, Cao Xuan is not without a song that has gone out of circles throughout Europe.
The last album "you're beautiful" was actually very popular in Europe.
The theme song "Waving Flag" of the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea and the theme song "Sold out" of the "Matrix" series hit this year also have some widespread influence.
Especially "Waving Flag", Cao Xuan became famous in Europe with this song. In Europe where football culture is prevalent, many people's deepest impression of him is the song of the closing ceremony of the World Cup final.
When Cao Xuan was interviewed by French TV station [-], a large part of the panel kept talking about this topic.
There is no way, the hottest topic in Europe is football, and Cao Xuan is also known to Europeans because of football, so he will definitely not escape this topic.
Of course, Cao Xuan also talked about French cuisine, which is a rare good impression he has of France, and it is also something the French are proud of.
Cao Xuan is here to promote, so he must pinpoint the selling point, not to deliberately please, but to be clear about what to say and what not to say.
Chat with the French about food, talk about history and football with the British, talk about pizza and Rome with the Italians, talk about bullfighting and ham with the Spaniards, talk about industry and beer with the Germans...
Everyone is talking about business, hello, hello, hello, everyone.
If you talk about Germany with the French, food with the British, combat power with the Italians, Catalonia with the Spaniards, and the Soviet Union with the Germans, then it is not propaganda, but a mess.
Cao Xuan stayed in France for about 2 days. In addition to interviews with TV stations and newspapers, he also met with representatives of his fan club and local Chinese groups.
Needless to say about the former, the latter is one of Cao Xuan's foundations in Europe and cannot be ignored.
It's hard to say how much the sales of the album will be boosted by the short appearance, but the more important thing is that Cao Xuan has officially made a name for himself in France.
Many times, the concept of an international superstar is promoted by the media and television.
The French who don't know Cao Xuan know him from the media and TV, and know that he is a great singer who is very popular all over the world.
This will make them curious about Cao Xuan, go to understand, even if they don't understand, they will have a preconceived impression.
When I see Cao Xuan afterwards, I will automatically classify him as a world singer, and my impression of Cao Xuan will be deepened with other things.
Just like when we look at foreign stars, we often can't tell the difference between celebrity and fame, and we all rely on media introductions.
If Cao Xuan didn't come to France, there wouldn't be a lot of media that would take the initiative to expose him, so Cao Xuan needed to go around occasionally, brush his face, and spread his influence.
At the same time, it is also to check the songs. Although some of his songs are not particularly popular in France, there are still a few popular songs, so Cao Xuan had to "claim" them.
This is the case in France, as well as in Germany and Italy. During this period, Cao Xuan took the time to go to BMW's headquarters, and the rest of his time was similar to that in France.
TV stations, newspaper interviews, fan club representatives and Chinese teams, participated in a celebrity party in Italy, and it was another business bragging.
I took a stack of business cards from fashion circles and fashion designers. If I want to come to a fashion show in the future, I really do not lack acquaintances to recommend.
At the beginning of November, Cao Xuan made a tour of France, Germany and Italy before leaving for England, which was also the most important stop of his European tour.
.........
"Hello, viewers, this is the ESPN Sports Channel, and I'm Zhan Jun, the commentator.
Today is the 11th round of the Premier League game. The Red Devils Manchester United will play against Portsmouth at home. Let’s take a look at the squad. The Red Devils’ new No. 7 Ronaldinho, because of his poor performance before, he was not included in the starting list..."
At present, domestic football fans mainly watch CCTV’s Serie A. The only domestic TV stations that can watch the Premier League are Guangdong Sports Channel and Singapore’s ESPN Satellite TV in Asia.
Therefore, there are generally many old Serie A fans in the mainland, and there are more fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Asian Premier League.
After the rise of the Internet, the decline of Serie A, Chelsea's frenzied spending of money, and the great powers of the Premier League fighting, domestic attention to the Premier League rapidly increased.
Of course, although the attention of the Premier League at this stage is not as high as that of Serie A, it is not low.
Who let Blue Moon have Sun Jihai, and Toffees have Tie Zi, with these two international players, countless fans will follow the Premier League.
At this time, Zhan Jun didn't have Zhang Hehe, but he also had an old man, Li Yuankui, who was also a professional athlete, one old and one young, and his partner had been very understanding for several years.
"...Look at Forlan's goal, he scored, Manchester United 1-0."
Zhan Jun shouted, Li Yuankui looked at the camera and turned to the cheering fans on the field, and smiled.
"The first ball on the first day of November is a good sign."
"Yeah, the pressure is coming to Arsenal... Wait, look, the one in the camera... seems to be Cao Xuan."
Zhan Jun responded, and was about to analyze the championship situation at the top of the rankings. When he saw the faces appearing in the camera, he choked back his words, and immediately changed to a more interesting topic.
"That's right, it was Cao Xuan himself who came to the Dream Theater to watch the game live. It seems that he is very happy to see the goal."
In the camera, Cao Xuan in the stands was wearing a thick windbreaker and a red scarf with the Manchester United logo printed on it, standing up with a smile on his face and applauding warmly.
His figure also appeared on the big screen on the field. Cao Xuan waved his hand. Seeing the Manchester United scarf on his body, there was a lot of applause. There were fans or fans who knew him nearby, and they were happy to greet him. Cao Xuan smiled respond.
"I remember Cao Xuan said that he is a Manchester United fan, right?"
"Yes, it seems that we have a good relationship with Beckham. We filmed the theme song MV for the World Cup together."
"This time he went to England to watch the football?"
"It should be by the way. A few days ago, I read a report that Cao Xuan's new album is very popular in the UK. One song has already landed at No. 2 on the UK music charts. I should watch the ball while promoting it."
"Working and entertaining are balanced, what a fan."
"Haha, I hope Manchester United will play well today and don't disappoint Cao Xuan."
"..."
The appearance of Cao Xuan made the conversation between Zhan Jun and Li Yuankui quickly go wrong.
After all, it is too rare for someone who is influential in the UK and is well known in China or by the Chinese community at the same time.
It may not be uncommon in the past to specially show the camera at the home court and the fans on the scene interact enthusiastically, but it is the first time for a pure Chinese face.
Zhan Jun saw that Cao Xuan was very popular in Manchester United, as if he was a star fan, and he was somewhat honored, and he felt secretly refreshed.
Of course, Zhan Jun's mood is more complicated, because he is a fan of Manchester United's rival Liverpool...
Cao Xuan didn't know what everyone was thinking. After he came to the UK, his first stop was originally London. When he learned that Manchester United had a home game, he rushed over specially.
It's a rare opportunity to watch the game live, I don't want to miss it.
The only pity is that Ronaldo, who is still called Ronaldinho, did not play, and neither did his favorite Solskjaer.
During the intermission, I don’t know if the DJ at the scene learned of the situation and played Cao Xuan’s song "Waving Flag" live.
"WE ALL SAY
let's talk
When I get older I will be stronger
When I grow up, I'll be stronger
They'll call me freedom Just like a wavin' flag
They set us free like that flag flies
......"
The camera on the big screen grabbed Cao Xuan, and many fans beside him swayed to the song, Cao Xuan was amused, and clapped to match the beat.
The live DJ at Old Trafford was very good at creating an atmosphere. He played three songs of Cao Xuan in a row, and even played "Waving Flag" twice.
Many fans coaxed Cao Xuan to sing, but Cao Xuan politely refused. First, the conditions for the scene were immature, and second, he was too stealthy. He was here to watch the game, not the concert.
Tens of thousands of fans at the scene had a pleasant intermission, and when the second half kicked off, there were still many people who were still unsatisfied.
And Cao Xuan was not disappointed either. In the 75th minute of the second half, Ronaldinho, whom he had in mind, came off the bench. Five minutes later, he scored a direct free kick on the left side of the penalty area.
The appearance of Cao Xuan pumping his fists and shouting appeared in the camera again, and the fans around him were also very happy. After asking, Cao Xuan knew that this goal was Ronaldo's first goal for Manchester United.
Hey, this is a witness to history by accident!
Cao Xuan was a little confused. Although he was a Manchester United fan, he could at most remember which year he won the championship, how many goals he scored, and what records he broke.
To be honest, it is difficult for fans who are not Ronaldo to remember the first goal of such an ordinary game.
But in any case, it feels good to witness history. In the future, I will brag with fans and friends, and I will be at the scene of Ronaldo's first goal, so I feel very comfortable.
After that, Captain Keane scored another goal. Manchester United won 3-0. Tens of thousands of fans sang the team song. Cao Xuan hummed a few words, and then was asked to leave by the staff.
No matter what sports club it is, it will have a good relationship with star fans to a certain extent.
When something happens, star fans can come out to make a big splash, and even many fans will be proud of how many star fans their home team has, which represents the influence of their own team.
As for celebrities, being able to have a good relationship with their favorite teams not only satisfies their own personal hobbies, but also increases a lot of exposure, and some fans of the team regard them as their own and actively support them.
Of course, the downside is being hated by the fans of the rival team...
The most famous singer fan before Manchester United should be Victoria of the Spice Girls.
But this summer, the "flying boot door" broke out. After Beckham switched to Real Madrid, Victoria apparently parted ways with the Red Devils.
In contrast, the Oasis band, the most loyal star fan of Manchester United's city rivals, is in a mess. The Red Devils need a popular singer with enough weight to wrestle with Oasis.
Cao Xuan became popular in the UK a few days ago, with outstanding achievements, and even more popular in the United States and Asia, his influence is even greater than that of Oasis.
More importantly, with Cao Xuan as a big fan, Manchester United is expected to spread its influence in the United States and Asia.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the current size of Manchester United fans in China, Cao Xuan's domestic fans can be diverted by 1/10, which can skyrocket by a large amount.
At the same time, Cao Xuan also hopes to use Manchester United to consolidate his popularity in Europe, and he can also borrow some momentum globally.
To put it bluntly, Manchester United wanted to take advantage of Cao Xuan's traffic, and Cao Xuan was also eyeing Manchester United's popularity.
Just like Cao Xuan and Beckham before, everyone benefits from each other. If it weren't for the price they couldn't agree on, Cao Xuan would probably take up the post directly and become Manchester United's global promotion ambassador.
From this point of view, Cao Xuan's love for the Red Devils is not without bottom line...
Bah, fake fans!
However, this fake fan was highly welcomed by Manchester United officials. After the game, he visited the Manchester United dressing room and met coach Ferguson and a group of Manchester United stars.
Cao Xuan actually knew a few of these stars, such as Keane and Solskjaer, who filmed the MV by phone, and met a few in Japan during the World Cup.
Compared with that time, Cao Xuan is now more famous, like a popular international singer, with a much larger audience, and he was warmly welcomed by everyone as soon as he appeared.
He wants to ask for a few autographs of the stars for his collection, and the Manchester United star also wants to ask him for a few autographs to go out and pretend to be a girl.
Does Chris Cho know?
Asian superstar, Grammy winner, second in the UK music charts, my best buddy.
Don't think that the British don't worship "foreign" and fawn on foreigners. In Europe, popular American singers are still very popular.
Let's put it this way, Cao Xuan went to the bar and nightclub for a walk, and the girl threw herself on him.
The reason is very simple. After winning, you can brag to your sisters, and selling it to the tabloids is also a lot of money. The British "Sun" likes this kind of news.
The stars are still like this, let alone a few team rookies. They have just emerged in Europe at the moment, and even this "emergence" needs to be quoted.
A big star like Cao Xuan still has a high status in their eyes. Today, when he scored a goal, the little Ronaldinho with yellow hair came over a bit embarrassed.
"Cao, my girlfriend and I are both your fans, can you give me an autograph?"
Looking at the immature president, Cao Xuan smiled playfully: "It's okay to sign, and a group photo is fine, but you have to exchange things."
"Change what?"
"Your jersey."
"no problem."
Ronaldo took off his jersey directly, and Cao Xuan also readily gave autographed photos and albums and took a group photo together.
Afterwards, Cao Xuan took some promotional photos with several stars, and Keane and Giggs invited Cao Xuan to the nightclub.
The hospitality was hard to come by, so Cao Xuan had no choice but to go along with it. Before leaving, he looked at Ronaldo and the others who were looking over eagerly, and offered to help with a word. Keane waved his hand, and several newcomers followed suit.
When they came to the nightclub, a group of people began to hide their wolfishness when they saw the girl. Cao Xuan asked for a glass of sealed juice, and sat in the booth to watch it with a smile.
Ronaldo and the newcomers can hardly hide their restlessness, but after all, they are young and not particularly cheeky, especially Ronaldo, who just asked for his girlfriend's autograph.
Cao Xuan's bad taste flared up because he was not understanding. He chatted with a few newcomers and watched them feel hot but had to endure it. He felt quite refreshed.
However, Keen and the others were loyal, or they were talking big, and after going out for a while, they leaked the news that Cao Xuan was there.
After a while, several hot girls ran over to drink with Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan was very polite and declined all of them with a smile.
At first a few people thought that Cao Xuan didn't like foreigners, but they watched him reject the two Japanese girls who were angry when they saw him.
A few people inevitably misunderstood. Ronaldo was chasing after him to ask what it was like to be in the World Cup final, but now he was a little panicked. Thinking about taking off his shirt in front of Cao Xuan just now, his scalp felt a little numb.
Fortunately, the gay culture in the UK has a long history. After a few hot girls failed to return, two handsome guys came to strike up a conversation.
Cao Xuan's head was full of black lines, and his hand was almost touching the champagne bottle. Seeing that the situation was not right, Ronaldo and others hurriedly persuaded the two to leave.
This also imperceptibly proved Cao Xuan's innocence. Everyone relaxed a lot. The beautiful Ziggs couldn't help asking Cao Xuan's situation. Could it be that his wife is strict?
Cao Xuan, who is strict with his wife, definitely does not admit it. He is really worried, and he can't say it for fear of being tricked, otherwise it will hurt everyone's face.
Seeing a pair of suspicious, provocative, and playful eyes, Cao Xuan straightened his body: "There will be an event in a few days, so you have to keep your spirits up and don't act rashly."
"what activity?"
The veterans have already realized that something is wrong. Ronaldo, a newcomer, doesn't know, so he gave him a compliment in a daze. Cao Xuan gave him a teachable look, and waved his hand calmly.
"It's nothing, just go to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to sing a few songs, with Lima, Carolina Kokova (big KK), Heidi Klum (haima), Gisele Bundchen (Ji Niangniang), Ma Leah Fernanda, Carmen Kess (Karshen), Angela Lindelwald (Old Fox), Eugenia Volodina (Queen Eugene) interact with supermodels, sing, chat, Walking the catwalk..."
As soon as these words came out, several players suddenly felt that the girl in their arms was not attractive, and they looked at Cao Xuan full of envy and hatred.
Of course, there are also players who don’t know these supermodels. It just so happens that there are two girls present who are models. They gave Cao Xuan a fiery look and immediately helped popularize the above supermodels.
What is the number one supermodel in Russia, a pearl in Brazil, the greatest birth of the Czech Republic, the most beautiful woman of the year, the top ten supermodels in the world, and Barabara, the queen of the modeling industry.
Anyway, with a big reputation, everyone understands that these supermodels are all beauties, and they are the kind of beauties with excellent figure and great reputation.
Players you know are like lemons, and players you don't know are even more like lemons when you fantasize about it.
Seeing everyone's faces, Cao Xuan was very comfortable, and based on this alone, the performance of this Victoria's Secret show was not in vain.
Regardless of whether there will be any circumstances at that time, I don't know how many men will be envious of being able to cooperate with so many top supermodels in the world.
Ronaldo has become more and more respectful to Cao Xuan. Originally, he thought that Cao Xuan was a big singer. His admiration for his talent and fame is now more out of a pious learning psychology.
When Ronaldo was coaxed and tricked by Cao Xuan to call out the word "Brother Xuan" in broken Chinese, Cao Xuan thought it was a beautiful word, and he patted Ronaldo on the shoulder.
"Brother, play football well. If the relationship is not going well, brother will introduce you to a supermodel later."
"Thank you Brother Xuan."
Ronaldo's eyes lit up, he didn't care that Cao Xuan's words seemed to curse his own feelings, and he became fluent in Chinese all of a sudden.
Seeing this appearance, Cao Xuan couldn't help thinking, if he remembered correctly, this new little brother seems to have a Russian supermodel girlfriend, if it doesn't work, he can also introduce another supermodel.
As for the introduction, it's up to him to make it or not!
Guaranteed for the little brother, several other Manchester United players also looked at Cao Xuan with piercing eyes, Cao Xuan pretended not to see.
Just kidding, this is my little brother, just introduce him if you can help me, and Ronaldo will soon become famous, his status will increase sharply, young and handsome, the girls probably would like to contact him.
You old gangsters, no matter how old you are, you still miss other little girls.
Besides, you didn't call me brother, and you didn't give me money, so why should I be old...
Chatted with the Manchester United players for several hours, exchanged contact information, others either fooled around or went home, and Cao Xuan also returned to the hotel.
The next day, the news that Cao Xuan visited Old Trafford to watch the game and met with many Manchester United players in bars and nightclubs spread throughout the UK.
Cao Xuan didn't know if Ferguson blamed himself, but he started to run publicity all over the UK from the next day.
Compared with Germany, France and Italy, Cao Xuan UK has more fans, is more famous, and can participate in more activities.
TV, radio, newspaper interviews, and one or two variety shows in the UK. Cao Xuan also acted as a surprise guest, reenacting the scenes from the "Sugar" MV and attending a fan wedding.
Successfully created explosive news, it can be regarded as a hot search in the UK.
On November 11th, Cao Xuan's song "Sugar" landed at the top of the UK pop music chart, and the next day, it won the top of the album chart again.
This is the first time that Cao Xuan has won the British Double List, and it is also the first time that a Chinese or even an Asian has won this honor.
Prior to this, the album "Release" had already won the number one spot in many music charts in Sweden, Finland and Norway.
After the release of this album in the United States, it went out again in European English-speaking countries, and even fed back to other European language-speaking countries to a certain extent.
For example, in Germany, Turkey, Czech Republic, Portugal and many other countries, the ranking of the song "Release" has increased rapidly in a short period of time.
The last "Waving Flag" was very popular, and the degree of outcry even far surpassed this album, but it was largely due to the glory of the World Cup.
But this time it is more about the charm of the album itself. Perhaps the scope of Cao Xuan's fame is not as wide as the World Cup, but the better purification of fans makes Cao Xuan's influence in Europe more solid.
Authoritative or large newspapers such as "The Times", "The Sun" and "London Evening News" reported a lot on this matter.
It is also rare for BBC TV to speak humanely, and made the following comments on Cao Xuan's trip to Europe——
A Chinese world-class superstar is writing his legendary road!
ps: Recommend a friend's book, entertainment type, title: "I'm Really Not the Godfather of Entertainment"
Introduction: "Dear Godfather of Blue Star Entertainment, may I ask how you are doing recently?"
"The state is pretty good, but can you stop asking me to speak for you?"
Snacks, drinks, clothes, shoes, even Durex came to him.
Hey, sometimes it’s not good to be too hot.Li Mu sighed.
(End of this chapter)
After signing the contract of intent, Cao Xuan exchanged a few words with little Edgar, and then hurriedly got on the plane to Europe.
After taking 10% of Warner Music's shares, Cao Xuan's cash flow is a bit tight, and he has to postpone the purchase of a private jet.
But it doesn't take too long, the new album "Release" is a big hit, and the follow-up dividends are enough to make Cao Xuan eat a lot of fat.
There is also an endorsement, both BMW and Samsung are planning to find him, and they are now negotiating, this time going abroad for publicity, Cao Xuan will also meet with the relevant person in charge of BMW and Samsung Group.
Especially for Samsung, the negotiation has basically come to an end.
The 5-year long-term contract is still a step-by-step clause. If Cao Xuan can fulfill all the conditions, he can almost win the endorsement fee of 5500 million US dollars.
However, some of the conditions are very strict, and Cao Xuan is not very confident, but even so, as long as his anger is not broken, it should be no problem to get 5 million U.S. dollars in five years.
This is also the biggest contract Cao Xuan has signed so far.
Of course, the main reason is that Pepsi is a VAM contract. The maximum annual income can reach 2000 million US dollars, and the minimum annual income is 200 million. It all depends on Cao Xuan’s annual popularity and the help he provides to Pepsi. The calculation is complicated, so it is not listed alongside ordinary endorsement contracts. .
But no matter what, this big contract also made Cao Xuan take the time to go to South Korea to attend the signing ceremony.
Then, you can book a private jet with the cheap old man's money...
So far, endorsement, American album dividends and copyright revenue are Cao Xuan's important income, with tens of millions of dollars per year, second only to the cash cow box game under Cao Xuan's command.
In addition, Cao Xuan also has two important incomes, Fanxing and Sunshine Venture Capital.
Needless to say about the former, including Guolan Entertainment, the two companies' investment in film and television and variety shows in the past two years has not low return rate. In addition, artists have gradually become famous, and they have begun to make a lot of profits.
However, since Fanxing is in a stage of rapid development, except for Cao Xuan's dividends and endorsement fees, most of the money earned is kept for personal use to continue investment and increase development.
Even if the theater chain and film and television city are counted under the name of Fanxing, Cao Xuan would invest a lot of money in it every year.
Fortunately, a lot of land and assets in theaters and movie studios can be mortgaged, which greatly saves money. Otherwise, Cao Xuan might not be able to easily withdraw 2 million US dollars in one go.
As for Sunshine Ventures, Cao Xuanyang's investment team has not been idle for two years.
In addition to monitoring Cao Xuan's investment assets, he has also been using Cao Xuan's spare funds for short- and medium-term investment operations, and the book results are also good.
Not long ago, Sunshine Ventures invested in an Australian technology company last year, which is now being acquired by Panasonic and GM.
At that time, the 120% stake of Sunshine Venture Capital raised US$35 million, and now it has increased more than ten times in one breath.
The return of at least tens of millions of dollars is the largest profitable project independently invested by the investment team of Sunshine Venture Capital apart from Cao Xuan's command.
This is mainly because Cao Xuan is relatively restrained, and easily prevents the company from intervening in the stock and financial markets.
Cao Xuan is an angel investor, not a stock god. He doesn't understand the stock market, so he won't get involved easily.
There are only a few big bull stocks in the impression, perhaps with the help of professionals, send someone to make a small fortune.
Therefore, under the influence of Cao Xuan, Sunshine Venture Capital is basically a short-to-medium term corporate investment.
Although these investments are high in investment and slow in recovering funds, they are safe and secure. The assets under control have sufficient preservation rates, and some of them can even be mortgaged directly.
It is conservatively estimated that Sunshine Ventures’ current assets, including shares in Penguin, Warner Music, several game companies in Korea, shares in Septwolves, and other investments, are worth at least US$6-8 million.
Of course, Box Games, Fanxing Entertainment/Cinema/Film City, Guolan Entertainment, Tomorrow Charity Fund, Light and Shadow Special Effects Company, Baihua Recording Studio, Caoshangfei Private Restaurant and other industries.
As well as dozens of courtyard houses and half apartments in Caoxuan, several large flats and villas in Shanghai, and a dozen houses in Shenzhen... need to be calculated separately.
How should I put it, count all these miscellaneous things, and squeeze out the moisture of those market value estimates.
Rounding up, Cao Xuan's real net worth is about US$10 billion, which is just over 80 billion when converted into RMB.
If this asset enters the Forbes China Rich List, it will at least be in the top ten, and it may even be in the top three during the economic downturn.
After all, Netease's pig farmer became the richest man in the country at the beginning of this year, and his assets are only 80-90 billion yuan.
Shanda's Chen Tianqiao doesn't earn as much as box games. He is the main operator of "Legend of Hot Blood", and his personal assets are valued at nearly 50 billion.
If the valuations of Cao Xuan's companies are all included, it's hard to say that the 80 billion will be doubled, and it will definitely be a few percent increase.
Cao Da's richest man is directly capped!
But Cao Xuan has always felt that such a calculation is meaningless. In two years, the eldest lady of Country Garden will directly reach the top with 1200 billion assets, and her net worth alone will surpass the sum of the top ten richest people at that time.
But it's useless at all, let alone 1200 billion, she can't even get 100 billion. In less than two years, her net worth has shrunk several times, and in three years it has dropped to more than 100 billion.
It reached the top in 2006, and in 2009, there were no people in the top fifteen of the rich list. Later, with the prosperity of the real estate industry, it slowly rose again.
And more importantly, Cao Xuan knew that the group of people on the list was only a part of the richest people in the country.
In recent years, he can be regarded as a new star in business, and he has met with many big names in the industry sporadically to understand the real situation.
Including him, Mr. Cao, there are a lot of rich people hidden under the water, but they don't want to be on the list because of low-key or other reasons.
If they all show their net worth, not to mention the mainland rich list, even the top ten in Asia may not be unable to give it a go.
Having said that, now that Li Cucumber, who is the second largest in Asia, has a net worth of about US$100 billion, it doesn't make much sense for Cao Xuan to become the "richest man in the country".
If he can step on this old guy, Cao Xuan doesn't mind being on the list and pretending to be a guy, but if he can't step on it, then forget it.
Cao Xuan calculated his assets, and the rest may not change much and rise steadily.
Only when Penguin goes public next year, it should be able to rise a wave, but the proportion of shares will also decrease. "Legend of Blood" will reach its final peak next year, but then it will fall sharply.
Although with the help of Cao Xuan, "Legend of Hot Blood" has fewer copyright disputes than the original time and space, and although there are many private servers, they are not fatal.
However, with the changes in the online game market, and more and more people sucking blood on "Legend of Hot Blood", the various disadvantages of this game have become irreversible, and the decline in popularity is inevitable.
Therefore, Cao Xuan intends to sell it before 2005, together with the agency rights of "Legend of Hot Blood" and related games, and the shares of the two Korean companies.
Obviously, the first choice for buyers is Shanda, and the ambitious Chen Tianqiao has long wanted to get rid of the shadow of box games.
On the one hand, I want to be the only cash cow of "Legend of Hot Blood", and on the other hand, I am actively developing other projects. The small actions behind the past two years have not stopped.
Fortunately, Cao Xuan has been on guard against him, and while the two sides maintain close cooperation, they also continue to fight openly and secretly.
It's not that Shanda didn't have other profitable projects in the past two years, but in general, the "Legend" series of games is the most profitable and famous.
Chen Tianqiao has long coveted the agency of the "Legend" series of games, and Shanda plans to go public. If he can fully control the "Legend" series, it will greatly promote Shanda's road to listing.
It can be said that as long as Cao Xuan wants to let go, Chen Tianqiao will take the "Legend" series at all costs.
As for the shares of the Korean game company, Lao Chen must be very interested. Even if he does not have enough funds, the two companies have always wanted to repurchase the shares, anyway, they don't have to worry about selling them.
It is conservatively estimated that this proxy + shares can also earn Cao Xuan a few hundred million dollars, and it must be US dollars.
The specific fluctuation depends on the popularity potential of "Legend" at that time, as well as the funds and urgency of the two companies.
Anyway, Cao Xuan plans to get rid of the card before 2005, even if it is a loss on the surface, it doesn't matter. Maybe it looks like a loss in the short term, but when the "Legend" series is over, we will know who has made a profit.
Of course, the IP "Legend" is valuable. After a period of downturn, it has regained its vitality in terms of mobile and web games.
From this point of view, Cao Xuan didn't count them as a scam, and of course he himself was even more unlikely to lose money. The IP of "Legend" was valuable, and other games were even more valuable.
For example, "World of Warcraft" developed and launched next year.
You know, Blizzard's parent company is called Vivendi, and Vivendi has a shareholder named Edgar Jr.
Cao Xuan can definitely get the exclusive agency right of "World of Warcraft" in China through the relationship of little Edgar, coupled with Box Game's top position in the domestic game industry and huge funds.
Everyone knows how profitable "World of Warcraft" is. If it can win the agency rights, it will not be weaker than the "Legend" series and become another cash cow of box games.
But if this is the case, Jiucheng Zhu, the former owner of Time and Space, may not be able to afford Shenhua.
It is also difficult for the Chinese Super League to welcome the biggest superstar in history, Drogba in Africa, but it is not bad, it is better than the arrears of wages owed to African brothers...
Half of the money recovered from the "Legend" series still has to be placed in the box game's account to acquire, develop, and operate new games.
Before the complete rise of Penguin and Fanxing, the box game was Cao Xuan's biggest asset.
.........
After calculating all his assets, Cao Xuan got off the plane in Paris, France, and checked into a hotel.
After chatting with Warner Europe's staff about the promotion process, Cao Xuan, who planned to adjust his biological clock, was about to watch the replay of the game when he called.
It was Nishinomiya Empress Zeng Damei.
After answering the phone, Cao Xuan counted with his fingers: "It's midnight in China, why haven't you slept yet?"
"A little insomnia, read the text message you sent just now, I want to chat with you to relieve boredom."
"Still because of that?"
"Ah."
Empress Xigong replied sullenly, and Cao Xuan smiled wryly.
Zeng Damei has been very annoying these few days. When he was promoting in the United States, she got into trouble.
The famous second-generation "six sons" beating incident!
As the son of a famous film and television star, and also a top student in Chinese opera, this matter was quickly noticed by the media and reported widely.
The difference from the original time and space is that Nishinomiya Empress stepped in this time.
Because the person who was beaten was a student in her own class, and the person involved was rather vague, Nishinomiya first thought it was domestic violence caused by emotional disputes.
An ordinary female college student, a second-generation star perpetrator.
Coupled with his own student filter, Zeng Li was inevitably deceived, so much so that he almost got into a fight with the sixth son and father at first.
Although the Empress of the West Palace does not seem to have a sense of presence, she actually has a lot of resources at her disposal, not to mention that the Empress of the East Palace is now allied with her.
It doesn't matter how the two quarrel in private, when facing foreign enemies, they have always been on the same page.
Hearing this "tragedy", out of women's empathy, Hu Jing was naturally filled with righteous indignation.
East and West Ergong teamed up, and Fengyun Studio immediately concocted several "Discussion Six Essays". Artists under Fanxing, many students from Class 96 of Chinese Opera, and other friends from Ergong and even Cao Xuan also notified in place, ready to speak out.
Let's put it this way, if Cao Xuan hadn't stopped him in time, it would have been an upgraded version of the top-level "knife training".
Not to mention the six sons, even his father followed suit......
Under Cao Xuan's conciliatory reminder, Zeng Li calmed down and started chatting with the six sons, and learned that it was his own student who cheated first.
It was only then that Zeng Li realized that he had almost made a big mistake. He called the students to confront each other, and then revealed that another director of the Chinese opera was not cheating, but an unspoken rule.
The six sons and their sons planned to have a fight with Ya, and Zeng Li also tried to fight for the inappropriateness of the teacher, intending to seek justice for the students, and the two sides cooperated to deal with the court.
In the end, at the critical moment, it was reversed again. Everything was directed and acted by the students themselves. If you like me, Nishinomiya Niangniang was used as a gun twice.
This incident dealt a great blow to Zeng Li, anyone who wholeheartedly helped others would end up being played around by others, and would not be in a good mood.
She even offended many school leaders for this. After all, as a teacher of Chinese opera, she exposed her family's ugliness and joined forces with outsiders to make troubles. If she hadn't been a star teacher and Cao Xuan's relationship, she wouldn't have been able to be the head teacher even if she didn't leave her job.
So Mr. Zeng has been depressed for several days these days, and he couldn't help but take the initiative to find Cao Xuan to talk about his concerns.
Cao Xuan explained again, coaxed her for a long time, and finally made her happy, her mood eased a lot, and she was ready to sleep.
After hanging up the phone, Cao Xuan took a deep breath, drank two sips of British local black tea, his eyes flickered.
In fact, this matter could have been completely avoided if he acted in time, but it was inconvenient for him to be abroad, and he also intended to let Zeng Li suffer a small loss.
Perhaps it was his first time as a teacher, and Zeng Li was too nice to those students, beyond the scope of a normal teacher.
As the saying goes, the favor of the rising rice fights the hatred of the rice.
No matter how good Zeng Li did, it was impossible to satisfy everyone. She thought that if she devoted her heart and soul to the students, they might think you were partial.
Besides, there are quite a few students in Class 02 of the Chinese Opera who are not good at fault, and will suffer a lot in the future. If they ask Zeng Li for help, is it possible that Empress Nishinomiya will wipe their butts again?
So Cao Xuan intends to take this opportunity to teach Mr. Zeng a lesson.
The teacher is not the parents of the students, even if he is good to the students, there is a limit, and not all the students are the good babies in her heart.
What can I say, the effect is outstanding.
If it weren't for Cao Xuan's consolation, Teacher Zeng would have almost resigned because of the cold.
Although she continues to serve as the head teacher of China Opera 02 and will continue to be her own good teacher, she may have great reservations in many cases.
Especially the student involved, who was originally one of Mr. Zeng's favorite students.
But from now on, the two only have a teacher-student relationship on the surface, and the other fate is exhausted. She will not say a word for the other party, nor will she do anything for the other party.
Even with Class 02 of Chinese Opera, Mr. Zeng originally planned to contact some production crews next summer vacation, but now he has rested his mind, and whoever has the ability will join.
Unless there are a few students she really likes, she will push most students when they encounter a suitable opportunity, but she will not take the initiative to make various contacts to win opportunities for them.
From this point of view, Cao Xuan felt that Mr. Zeng's lesson was worthwhile, and taking a small loss is a big advantage.
The next day, Cao Xuan accepted an exclusive interview program of French TV station [-].
In fact, in Europe, Cao Xuan’s album songs have the greatest influence in English-speaking countries. In non-English-speaking countries such as France, Germany, and Italy, it cannot be said that they are not popular at all, and they are definitely not as good as in English-speaking countries.
Cao Xuan's most important influence in these countries is the two identities of China's heavenly king and European and American music supernova.
Everyone recognizes that he is a popular singer in the world, but in terms of the influence of his albums, it has not yet reached the point where he has been released nationwide.
The new album "Release" was released globally simultaneously, and now in early January, the cumulative number of copies in European countries has exceeded 130 million.
Among them, the United Kingdom alone has more than 50 copies, and several countries in Northern Europe use English as common language, barely making up 50 copies, and the rest are other European countries.
Of course, this is also partly due to the fact that the Internet has not yet risen, and European countries are relatively closed, so it is difficult for an English album to cause a shock in Europe.
Of course, Cao Xuan is not without a song that has gone out of circles throughout Europe.
The last album "you're beautiful" was actually very popular in Europe.
The theme song "Waving Flag" of the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea and the theme song "Sold out" of the "Matrix" series hit this year also have some widespread influence.
Especially "Waving Flag", Cao Xuan became famous in Europe with this song. In Europe where football culture is prevalent, many people's deepest impression of him is the song of the closing ceremony of the World Cup final.
When Cao Xuan was interviewed by French TV station [-], a large part of the panel kept talking about this topic.
There is no way, the hottest topic in Europe is football, and Cao Xuan is also known to Europeans because of football, so he will definitely not escape this topic.
Of course, Cao Xuan also talked about French cuisine, which is a rare good impression he has of France, and it is also something the French are proud of.
Cao Xuan is here to promote, so he must pinpoint the selling point, not to deliberately please, but to be clear about what to say and what not to say.
Chat with the French about food, talk about history and football with the British, talk about pizza and Rome with the Italians, talk about bullfighting and ham with the Spaniards, talk about industry and beer with the Germans...
Everyone is talking about business, hello, hello, hello, everyone.
If you talk about Germany with the French, food with the British, combat power with the Italians, Catalonia with the Spaniards, and the Soviet Union with the Germans, then it is not propaganda, but a mess.
Cao Xuan stayed in France for about 2 days. In addition to interviews with TV stations and newspapers, he also met with representatives of his fan club and local Chinese groups.
Needless to say about the former, the latter is one of Cao Xuan's foundations in Europe and cannot be ignored.
It's hard to say how much the sales of the album will be boosted by the short appearance, but the more important thing is that Cao Xuan has officially made a name for himself in France.
Many times, the concept of an international superstar is promoted by the media and television.
The French who don't know Cao Xuan know him from the media and TV, and know that he is a great singer who is very popular all over the world.
This will make them curious about Cao Xuan, go to understand, even if they don't understand, they will have a preconceived impression.
When I see Cao Xuan afterwards, I will automatically classify him as a world singer, and my impression of Cao Xuan will be deepened with other things.
Just like when we look at foreign stars, we often can't tell the difference between celebrity and fame, and we all rely on media introductions.
If Cao Xuan didn't come to France, there wouldn't be a lot of media that would take the initiative to expose him, so Cao Xuan needed to go around occasionally, brush his face, and spread his influence.
At the same time, it is also to check the songs. Although some of his songs are not particularly popular in France, there are still a few popular songs, so Cao Xuan had to "claim" them.
This is the case in France, as well as in Germany and Italy. During this period, Cao Xuan took the time to go to BMW's headquarters, and the rest of his time was similar to that in France.
TV stations, newspaper interviews, fan club representatives and Chinese teams, participated in a celebrity party in Italy, and it was another business bragging.
I took a stack of business cards from fashion circles and fashion designers. If I want to come to a fashion show in the future, I really do not lack acquaintances to recommend.
At the beginning of November, Cao Xuan made a tour of France, Germany and Italy before leaving for England, which was also the most important stop of his European tour.
.........
"Hello, viewers, this is the ESPN Sports Channel, and I'm Zhan Jun, the commentator.
Today is the 11th round of the Premier League game. The Red Devils Manchester United will play against Portsmouth at home. Let’s take a look at the squad. The Red Devils’ new No. 7 Ronaldinho, because of his poor performance before, he was not included in the starting list..."
At present, domestic football fans mainly watch CCTV’s Serie A. The only domestic TV stations that can watch the Premier League are Guangdong Sports Channel and Singapore’s ESPN Satellite TV in Asia.
Therefore, there are generally many old Serie A fans in the mainland, and there are more fans in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Asian Premier League.
After the rise of the Internet, the decline of Serie A, Chelsea's frenzied spending of money, and the great powers of the Premier League fighting, domestic attention to the Premier League rapidly increased.
Of course, although the attention of the Premier League at this stage is not as high as that of Serie A, it is not low.
Who let Blue Moon have Sun Jihai, and Toffees have Tie Zi, with these two international players, countless fans will follow the Premier League.
At this time, Zhan Jun didn't have Zhang Hehe, but he also had an old man, Li Yuankui, who was also a professional athlete, one old and one young, and his partner had been very understanding for several years.
"...Look at Forlan's goal, he scored, Manchester United 1-0."
Zhan Jun shouted, Li Yuankui looked at the camera and turned to the cheering fans on the field, and smiled.
"The first ball on the first day of November is a good sign."
"Yeah, the pressure is coming to Arsenal... Wait, look, the one in the camera... seems to be Cao Xuan."
Zhan Jun responded, and was about to analyze the championship situation at the top of the rankings. When he saw the faces appearing in the camera, he choked back his words, and immediately changed to a more interesting topic.
"That's right, it was Cao Xuan himself who came to the Dream Theater to watch the game live. It seems that he is very happy to see the goal."
In the camera, Cao Xuan in the stands was wearing a thick windbreaker and a red scarf with the Manchester United logo printed on it, standing up with a smile on his face and applauding warmly.
His figure also appeared on the big screen on the field. Cao Xuan waved his hand. Seeing the Manchester United scarf on his body, there was a lot of applause. There were fans or fans who knew him nearby, and they were happy to greet him. Cao Xuan smiled respond.
"I remember Cao Xuan said that he is a Manchester United fan, right?"
"Yes, it seems that we have a good relationship with Beckham. We filmed the theme song MV for the World Cup together."
"This time he went to England to watch the football?"
"It should be by the way. A few days ago, I read a report that Cao Xuan's new album is very popular in the UK. One song has already landed at No. 2 on the UK music charts. I should watch the ball while promoting it."
"Working and entertaining are balanced, what a fan."
"Haha, I hope Manchester United will play well today and don't disappoint Cao Xuan."
"..."
The appearance of Cao Xuan made the conversation between Zhan Jun and Li Yuankui quickly go wrong.
After all, it is too rare for someone who is influential in the UK and is well known in China or by the Chinese community at the same time.
It may not be uncommon in the past to specially show the camera at the home court and the fans on the scene interact enthusiastically, but it is the first time for a pure Chinese face.
Zhan Jun saw that Cao Xuan was very popular in Manchester United, as if he was a star fan, and he was somewhat honored, and he felt secretly refreshed.
Of course, Zhan Jun's mood is more complicated, because he is a fan of Manchester United's rival Liverpool...
Cao Xuan didn't know what everyone was thinking. After he came to the UK, his first stop was originally London. When he learned that Manchester United had a home game, he rushed over specially.
It's a rare opportunity to watch the game live, I don't want to miss it.
The only pity is that Ronaldo, who is still called Ronaldinho, did not play, and neither did his favorite Solskjaer.
During the intermission, I don’t know if the DJ at the scene learned of the situation and played Cao Xuan’s song "Waving Flag" live.
"WE ALL SAY
let's talk
When I get older I will be stronger
When I grow up, I'll be stronger
They'll call me freedom Just like a wavin' flag
They set us free like that flag flies
......"
The camera on the big screen grabbed Cao Xuan, and many fans beside him swayed to the song, Cao Xuan was amused, and clapped to match the beat.
The live DJ at Old Trafford was very good at creating an atmosphere. He played three songs of Cao Xuan in a row, and even played "Waving Flag" twice.
Many fans coaxed Cao Xuan to sing, but Cao Xuan politely refused. First, the conditions for the scene were immature, and second, he was too stealthy. He was here to watch the game, not the concert.
Tens of thousands of fans at the scene had a pleasant intermission, and when the second half kicked off, there were still many people who were still unsatisfied.
And Cao Xuan was not disappointed either. In the 75th minute of the second half, Ronaldinho, whom he had in mind, came off the bench. Five minutes later, he scored a direct free kick on the left side of the penalty area.
The appearance of Cao Xuan pumping his fists and shouting appeared in the camera again, and the fans around him were also very happy. After asking, Cao Xuan knew that this goal was Ronaldo's first goal for Manchester United.
Hey, this is a witness to history by accident!
Cao Xuan was a little confused. Although he was a Manchester United fan, he could at most remember which year he won the championship, how many goals he scored, and what records he broke.
To be honest, it is difficult for fans who are not Ronaldo to remember the first goal of such an ordinary game.
But in any case, it feels good to witness history. In the future, I will brag with fans and friends, and I will be at the scene of Ronaldo's first goal, so I feel very comfortable.
After that, Captain Keane scored another goal. Manchester United won 3-0. Tens of thousands of fans sang the team song. Cao Xuan hummed a few words, and then was asked to leave by the staff.
No matter what sports club it is, it will have a good relationship with star fans to a certain extent.
When something happens, star fans can come out to make a big splash, and even many fans will be proud of how many star fans their home team has, which represents the influence of their own team.
As for celebrities, being able to have a good relationship with their favorite teams not only satisfies their own personal hobbies, but also increases a lot of exposure, and some fans of the team regard them as their own and actively support them.
Of course, the downside is being hated by the fans of the rival team...
The most famous singer fan before Manchester United should be Victoria of the Spice Girls.
But this summer, the "flying boot door" broke out. After Beckham switched to Real Madrid, Victoria apparently parted ways with the Red Devils.
In contrast, the Oasis band, the most loyal star fan of Manchester United's city rivals, is in a mess. The Red Devils need a popular singer with enough weight to wrestle with Oasis.
Cao Xuan became popular in the UK a few days ago, with outstanding achievements, and even more popular in the United States and Asia, his influence is even greater than that of Oasis.
More importantly, with Cao Xuan as a big fan, Manchester United is expected to spread its influence in the United States and Asia.
It is no exaggeration to say that with the current size of Manchester United fans in China, Cao Xuan's domestic fans can be diverted by 1/10, which can skyrocket by a large amount.
At the same time, Cao Xuan also hopes to use Manchester United to consolidate his popularity in Europe, and he can also borrow some momentum globally.
To put it bluntly, Manchester United wanted to take advantage of Cao Xuan's traffic, and Cao Xuan was also eyeing Manchester United's popularity.
Just like Cao Xuan and Beckham before, everyone benefits from each other. If it weren't for the price they couldn't agree on, Cao Xuan would probably take up the post directly and become Manchester United's global promotion ambassador.
From this point of view, Cao Xuan's love for the Red Devils is not without bottom line...
Bah, fake fans!
However, this fake fan was highly welcomed by Manchester United officials. After the game, he visited the Manchester United dressing room and met coach Ferguson and a group of Manchester United stars.
Cao Xuan actually knew a few of these stars, such as Keane and Solskjaer, who filmed the MV by phone, and met a few in Japan during the World Cup.
Compared with that time, Cao Xuan is now more famous, like a popular international singer, with a much larger audience, and he was warmly welcomed by everyone as soon as he appeared.
He wants to ask for a few autographs of the stars for his collection, and the Manchester United star also wants to ask him for a few autographs to go out and pretend to be a girl.
Does Chris Cho know?
Asian superstar, Grammy winner, second in the UK music charts, my best buddy.
Don't think that the British don't worship "foreign" and fawn on foreigners. In Europe, popular American singers are still very popular.
Let's put it this way, Cao Xuan went to the bar and nightclub for a walk, and the girl threw herself on him.
The reason is very simple. After winning, you can brag to your sisters, and selling it to the tabloids is also a lot of money. The British "Sun" likes this kind of news.
The stars are still like this, let alone a few team rookies. They have just emerged in Europe at the moment, and even this "emergence" needs to be quoted.
A big star like Cao Xuan still has a high status in their eyes. Today, when he scored a goal, the little Ronaldinho with yellow hair came over a bit embarrassed.
"Cao, my girlfriend and I are both your fans, can you give me an autograph?"
Looking at the immature president, Cao Xuan smiled playfully: "It's okay to sign, and a group photo is fine, but you have to exchange things."
"Change what?"
"Your jersey."
"no problem."
Ronaldo took off his jersey directly, and Cao Xuan also readily gave autographed photos and albums and took a group photo together.
Afterwards, Cao Xuan took some promotional photos with several stars, and Keane and Giggs invited Cao Xuan to the nightclub.
The hospitality was hard to come by, so Cao Xuan had no choice but to go along with it. Before leaving, he looked at Ronaldo and the others who were looking over eagerly, and offered to help with a word. Keane waved his hand, and several newcomers followed suit.
When they came to the nightclub, a group of people began to hide their wolfishness when they saw the girl. Cao Xuan asked for a glass of sealed juice, and sat in the booth to watch it with a smile.
Ronaldo and the newcomers can hardly hide their restlessness, but after all, they are young and not particularly cheeky, especially Ronaldo, who just asked for his girlfriend's autograph.
Cao Xuan's bad taste flared up because he was not understanding. He chatted with a few newcomers and watched them feel hot but had to endure it. He felt quite refreshed.
However, Keen and the others were loyal, or they were talking big, and after going out for a while, they leaked the news that Cao Xuan was there.
After a while, several hot girls ran over to drink with Cao Xuan. Cao Xuan was very polite and declined all of them with a smile.
At first a few people thought that Cao Xuan didn't like foreigners, but they watched him reject the two Japanese girls who were angry when they saw him.
A few people inevitably misunderstood. Ronaldo was chasing after him to ask what it was like to be in the World Cup final, but now he was a little panicked. Thinking about taking off his shirt in front of Cao Xuan just now, his scalp felt a little numb.
Fortunately, the gay culture in the UK has a long history. After a few hot girls failed to return, two handsome guys came to strike up a conversation.
Cao Xuan's head was full of black lines, and his hand was almost touching the champagne bottle. Seeing that the situation was not right, Ronaldo and others hurriedly persuaded the two to leave.
This also imperceptibly proved Cao Xuan's innocence. Everyone relaxed a lot. The beautiful Ziggs couldn't help asking Cao Xuan's situation. Could it be that his wife is strict?
Cao Xuan, who is strict with his wife, definitely does not admit it. He is really worried, and he can't say it for fear of being tricked, otherwise it will hurt everyone's face.
Seeing a pair of suspicious, provocative, and playful eyes, Cao Xuan straightened his body: "There will be an event in a few days, so you have to keep your spirits up and don't act rashly."
"what activity?"
The veterans have already realized that something is wrong. Ronaldo, a newcomer, doesn't know, so he gave him a compliment in a daze. Cao Xuan gave him a teachable look, and waved his hand calmly.
"It's nothing, just go to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to sing a few songs, with Lima, Carolina Kokova (big KK), Heidi Klum (haima), Gisele Bundchen (Ji Niangniang), Ma Leah Fernanda, Carmen Kess (Karshen), Angela Lindelwald (Old Fox), Eugenia Volodina (Queen Eugene) interact with supermodels, sing, chat, Walking the catwalk..."
As soon as these words came out, several players suddenly felt that the girl in their arms was not attractive, and they looked at Cao Xuan full of envy and hatred.
Of course, there are also players who don’t know these supermodels. It just so happens that there are two girls present who are models. They gave Cao Xuan a fiery look and immediately helped popularize the above supermodels.
What is the number one supermodel in Russia, a pearl in Brazil, the greatest birth of the Czech Republic, the most beautiful woman of the year, the top ten supermodels in the world, and Barabara, the queen of the modeling industry.
Anyway, with a big reputation, everyone understands that these supermodels are all beauties, and they are the kind of beauties with excellent figure and great reputation.
Players you know are like lemons, and players you don't know are even more like lemons when you fantasize about it.
Seeing everyone's faces, Cao Xuan was very comfortable, and based on this alone, the performance of this Victoria's Secret show was not in vain.
Regardless of whether there will be any circumstances at that time, I don't know how many men will be envious of being able to cooperate with so many top supermodels in the world.
Ronaldo has become more and more respectful to Cao Xuan. Originally, he thought that Cao Xuan was a big singer. His admiration for his talent and fame is now more out of a pious learning psychology.
When Ronaldo was coaxed and tricked by Cao Xuan to call out the word "Brother Xuan" in broken Chinese, Cao Xuan thought it was a beautiful word, and he patted Ronaldo on the shoulder.
"Brother, play football well. If the relationship is not going well, brother will introduce you to a supermodel later."
"Thank you Brother Xuan."
Ronaldo's eyes lit up, he didn't care that Cao Xuan's words seemed to curse his own feelings, and he became fluent in Chinese all of a sudden.
Seeing this appearance, Cao Xuan couldn't help thinking, if he remembered correctly, this new little brother seems to have a Russian supermodel girlfriend, if it doesn't work, he can also introduce another supermodel.
As for the introduction, it's up to him to make it or not!
Guaranteed for the little brother, several other Manchester United players also looked at Cao Xuan with piercing eyes, Cao Xuan pretended not to see.
Just kidding, this is my little brother, just introduce him if you can help me, and Ronaldo will soon become famous, his status will increase sharply, young and handsome, the girls probably would like to contact him.
You old gangsters, no matter how old you are, you still miss other little girls.
Besides, you didn't call me brother, and you didn't give me money, so why should I be old...
Chatted with the Manchester United players for several hours, exchanged contact information, others either fooled around or went home, and Cao Xuan also returned to the hotel.
The next day, the news that Cao Xuan visited Old Trafford to watch the game and met with many Manchester United players in bars and nightclubs spread throughout the UK.
Cao Xuan didn't know if Ferguson blamed himself, but he started to run publicity all over the UK from the next day.
Compared with Germany, France and Italy, Cao Xuan UK has more fans, is more famous, and can participate in more activities.
TV, radio, newspaper interviews, and one or two variety shows in the UK. Cao Xuan also acted as a surprise guest, reenacting the scenes from the "Sugar" MV and attending a fan wedding.
Successfully created explosive news, it can be regarded as a hot search in the UK.
On November 11th, Cao Xuan's song "Sugar" landed at the top of the UK pop music chart, and the next day, it won the top of the album chart again.
This is the first time that Cao Xuan has won the British Double List, and it is also the first time that a Chinese or even an Asian has won this honor.
Prior to this, the album "Release" had already won the number one spot in many music charts in Sweden, Finland and Norway.
After the release of this album in the United States, it went out again in European English-speaking countries, and even fed back to other European language-speaking countries to a certain extent.
For example, in Germany, Turkey, Czech Republic, Portugal and many other countries, the ranking of the song "Release" has increased rapidly in a short period of time.
The last "Waving Flag" was very popular, and the degree of outcry even far surpassed this album, but it was largely due to the glory of the World Cup.
But this time it is more about the charm of the album itself. Perhaps the scope of Cao Xuan's fame is not as wide as the World Cup, but the better purification of fans makes Cao Xuan's influence in Europe more solid.
Authoritative or large newspapers such as "The Times", "The Sun" and "London Evening News" reported a lot on this matter.
It is also rare for BBC TV to speak humanely, and made the following comments on Cao Xuan's trip to Europe——
A Chinese world-class superstar is writing his legendary road!
ps: Recommend a friend's book, entertainment type, title: "I'm Really Not the Godfather of Entertainment"
Introduction: "Dear Godfather of Blue Star Entertainment, may I ask how you are doing recently?"
"The state is pretty good, but can you stop asking me to speak for you?"
Snacks, drinks, clothes, shoes, even Durex came to him.
Hey, sometimes it’s not good to be too hot.Li Mu sighed.
