Chapter 403 Daily life, premiere

Cao's Hutong, Study Room in Main Court

Zeng Li came in with a plate of cut fruits, looked at Cao Xuan browsing the computer, and asked curiously.

"What are you looking at?"

"Information on the promotional roadshow of "Embroidered Spring Knife"."

"I just read the news that your movie is scheduled for August 8nd. Doesn't that coincide with "House of Flying Daggers"?"

"The summer schedule is only two months in total. July 7th of "House of Flying Daggers" happens to be in mid-July, and I can't avoid it. I can't release it in late August. That's to avoid confrontation, and there is no summer vacation." A few days."

Cao Xuan was not very happy when he mentioned this. It stands to reason that two months of summer vacation is enough to leave a gap of more than 20 days, so that the two movies can be staggered as much as possible.

As a result, "House of Flying Daggers" didn't know whether it was pre-determined or arrogant, and it took a long time, which made it inevitable that "Embroidered Spring Knife" would have to meet its peers.

Fortunately, two weeks have passed between the two films, and the peak period of "House of Flying Daggers" has passed, which is not good news.

Cao Xuan himself is still very afraid of "House of Flying Daggers". Regardless of the quality of this film, the appeal of Lao Mouzi and Liu Tianwang is still strong.

The four young actresses in the international chapter, although the popularity of passers-by and audience ranks the worst, but the appeal of the movie is definitely in the forefront.
In contrast, "Embroidered Spring Knife" can play cards in the field of commercial films, only Cao Xuan and Xu Laoguai. . .

Most of the remaining Wu Jing, Hu Jun, Gao Yuanyuan, Duan Long and others are TV stars. Their popularity seems to be good, but it is hard to say how much they can bring to the box office.

And aside from "House of Flying Daggers", "Spider-Man 8" will be released in mainland China on August 5th.

The two movies can be said to be competing in the same file, fighting head-on.

This world-renowned superhero blockbuster was released in the mainland in 2002, and the first film won 4100 million box office. Now that the second film is released, the outside world estimates that it is only a lot more than the first film.

However, no matter how difficult the summer file is, it is better than the Lunar New Year file. "Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves" are fighting for hegemony.

In such a comparison, Cao Xuan felt that it would be better to meet Lao Mouzi, at least "Xiu Chun Knife" still has a solid script advantage.

Seeing that he was busy, Zeng Li didn't bother him. He simply tidied up the study and left. Before leaving, Cao Xuan thought of something and said hello.

"Remember calling me to watch TV at 8 o'clock?"

"Why, the Asian Cup hasn't started yet?"

"I didn't watch the national football team at first, and my mentality collapsed. I will wait until 2026. Isn't today the start of the "Star of Tomorrow"? I will watch the live broadcast."

"Oh."

Only then did Zeng Li suddenly realize, and nodded: "Don't worry, I'll call you when the time comes."

After Nishigong Niangniang left, Cao Xuan continued to read the document, occasionally picking out the mistakes, marking them down, and then sending the document back to fix the flaws.

After finishing the documents, it was still early to see the time, so Cao Xuan went to browse the blog and a certain site again.

In April of this year, Sunshine Venture Capital officially invested in the acquisition of a certain point. Cao Xuan held 4% of the shares of a certain point and became the new owner of a certain point.

After Boss Cao took over, he received a large amount of capital injection at a certain point, fully developed the VIP payment system, and implemented the benefits of guaranteed full attendance.

At a certain point, the author's manuscript fee is soaring, as long as the grades are not too bad, it is not a dream to earn more than [-] a month.

In this era where the per capita salary is only a few hundred, it is not uncommon for the monthly manuscript fee to exceed [-], and the top author even has a manuscript fee of over [-].

Even in 2022, a manuscript fee of more than 2004 yuan is a magic weapon to attract many part-time authors, let alone [-].

For a while, authors from all over the world came to vote, Shumeng, Xkong and other websites suffered heavy losses, and many newcomers picked up the keyboard one after another and started their own coding career.

At the same time, under the guidance of Boss Cao and the "professional team behind the scenes", a certain point also launched a number of advanced functions such as monthly ticket list, rewards, author/fan level, and high V discounts.

Of course, considering the current economic environment, in fact, similar functions may not be as effective as the aftermath, but no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.

Moreover, when online literature was first emerging, the enthusiasm of readers was not comparable to that of later generations, and even rich authors spent more money than later generations.

The increase in manuscript fees attracts authors.

Many new functions improve the website, enhance user experience and book exposure.

In addition, Cao Xuan also took out his trump card, and the box game came forward to develop several online games at a certain point, such as "Zhu Xian" and "Legend of Mercenaries" Balabala.

This kind of game with its own IP may not be eye-catching, but in reality
Make a lot of money online.

The strategic cooperation between Box Games and a certain point means that it has obtained a steady stream of game IP, and a certain point can also operate copyrights to expand its influence, and the author has received copyright fees.

Get it in one fell swoop!
This is the advantage of the industry chain, the game is only the first, manga and animation will follow one after another, and then film and television.

However, considering the production aspect, Cao Xuan has not yet figured out how to make a benign adaptation of web-based film and television.

But at the beginning, it should be based on urban reality and historical costumes. The fantasy and fairy tales will start slowly after the special effects technology matures.

With the support of Cao Xuan, the big boss, this series of combined punches at a certain point directly established the leading position in the industry in the newly emerging Internet literature world.

Since then, Cao Xuan has also developed a habit of reading a few novels when he has nothing to do, and even picked out a few pleasing ones to follow up.

Boss Cao has a huge fortune and is also generous in his actions. If he rewards him occasionally, he must be the leader at least.

Although he dives most of the time, his "wealth" is so powerful that he is quite famous at a certain point. Wherever the account ID [reminder] goes, he is flattered and flattered.

After reading all the chapters I have accumulated in the past few days, I will reward the leader when I see the rise, and then I went to the new book area to look for books, and I saw a copy of "The Great Heavenly King Reborn".

Entertainment! ?
Cao Xuan became interested, clicked in and took a look, good guy, it started in 1995, which is relatively rare now, and the current rebirth entertainment is basically written about the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles in the 90s.

After a brief glance, Cao Xuan's egg hurts.

What about the book?Basically, his experience was roughly reproduced on the protagonist, and then two years in advance, he was cut off in various ways in the book.

Not to mention the nonsense, but also portrayed him as a villain, pretending to slap his face every day.

Cao Xuan strongly suspected that it was written by his black fans, so he stepped back and took a look. Sure enough, the author's name was——

Pang Yidian

The only consolation is that this guy is a Hong Kong and Taiwan blowjob, and he doesn't like these mainland actresses. The protagonist goes to Xiangjiang to lick old aunts every day.

What's even more awesome is that the main protagonist of this book is Zhang Yunv, and the two confirmed heroines are Guan and Li, two wealthy families who are too thorny in the eyes of Kuo Tai, and a god-sister is sister-in-law Lu...

Good guy, the Amazon forest is not as green as him!
Cao Xuan immediately called the person in charge of a certain point and asked them to find a reason to download the book.

The scale of writing books these days is very large, and it is effortless to find faults and pick a lot.

By the way, it’s still the new book period, don’t rush to take it off the shelves, wait until it’s about to go on the shelves and then take it off the shelves, and experience the feeling from heaven to hell.

In the future, this guy will write one book and the next at a certain point, and follow this pattern to kill him.

When the person in charge at a certain point heard Cao Xuan's words, he silently mourned for Pang Yidian. He offended such a narrow-minded boss and suffered eight lifetimes of misfortune.

At the same time, Cao Xuan was also reminded of what happened today, and he told the person in charge of a certain point.

The above is only aimed at the enemy [Pang Yidian]. It doesn't matter if other authors write entertainment articles about him, and it doesn't matter if he treats him as a villain.

But there is one thing, you can't write about Hu Jing and Zeng Li, or in other words, you can write about them, but you can't have a similar arrangement as a heroine.

If there is a relevant plot, either rectify it or take it off the shelf. He doesn't want his wife to be misunderstood by others, even fictional ones.

Since Cao Xuan acquired a certain point, except for professional requirements, he has basically never mentioned any personal matters. This time it is considered willful.

He is not afraid of someone guessing the relationship between the three of them, since there is no evidence anyway, so he can talk casually...

After making the phone call, Cao Xuan tipped a leader for each of the new books that were ranked behind "Rebirth of the Great Heavenly King". Seeing that the other party was squeezed out of the first page, he closed the computer in satisfaction.

Glancing at the time, it was almost 8 o'clock, without Zeng Li calling him, he strolled to the living room by himself.

As soon as he went out, Hu Jing also came in, flicked the high heels under his feet, and leaned directly on the sofa.

"I'm exhausted."

"Today is the launch conference of "The Domineering President Falls in Love with Me", right? I remember you are not the producer."

"What are you talking about?"

Hu Jing was full of complaints, and when she heard Cao Xuan's words, she immediately opened fire like a machine gun.

"As a boss, you are so leisurely, you don't know the hardships and sorrows of our subordinates, "Star of Tomorrow" is such a big place, and the variety show department can't keep busy, many of them are people from our film and television production department.

The result is good, our side is seriously short of manpower, it was nothing to do with me, and I rushed to take charge of a new crew. "

"Yes, it's my fault, I'll apologize to Minister Hu."

Cao Xuan was not stupid, he decisively admitted the situation, ran to the sofa, put Hu Jing's leg on his own, and gently pinched the hammer.

"How about it, is the strength appropriate?"

"Not to mention, your technique is better than the technicians in the beauty salon. In the future, our family will go bankrupt, and massage can support our lives."

"Just kidding, with our face, I went to give a woman a massage, and people gave it to me."

"That's right, let me hoot at home."

Hu Jing leaned over and kissed him, and Zeng Li who was sitting next to him couldn't help coughing a few times.

Empress Donggong was not happy anymore, she gave her a provocative look, then turned her head and kissed her again.

"Why, you also take care of my husband at home?"

"Dear me, anyway, he belongs to me according to the day today, I don't care if the kiss gets angry."

Living under the same roof for such a long time, Empress Nishinomiya gradually let go, and from time to time she retaliated sharply, which actually choked Hu Jing enough.

"It's okay, if you really can't do it, let's have a warm-up match, I can stand it."

Cao Xuan stood up and wanted to defuse the war, but he was jointly despised by the East and West Palaces.

"go away."

Knowing that Hu Jing was hungry, Zeng Li turned around and went to the kitchen to order a bowl of Yangchun noodles, served with her own stewed beef and side dishes, and the empress of Donggong made a big bowl with her cheeks aside.

"It's all because you made such delicious food, I couldn't help it."

After eating the noodles, Hu Jing clutched her stomach and hummed, complaining and sighing: "I'll go for a run at the gymnasium of the East Hospital later, or I'll get fat again."

Zeng Li ignored this friend who "swears at the cook when he's full", and the dishes and chopsticks were taken care of by the nanny.

She put on the mask by herself, held Cao Xuan's hand, and watched TV with him. Hu Jing looked at her eyes and came over, leaning against Cao Xuan, who rubbed her belly for her.

Just like that, the three of them snuggled together, watching the first game of the final stage of "Rising Star" on TV with a strange and harmonious and warm atmosphere.

.........

On the brand-new final stage of "Tomorrow's Star", the hosts Hua Shao and Liu Yan are full of passion, and the five star judges tonight are also very good.

Mainland Diva - Tian Zhen

Prince of Love Songs - Zhang Xinzhe
Popular actress - Gao Yuanyuan
Famous Musician——Sambo

Famous singer - Han Sanshi
The judges of "Tomorrow's Star" are not fixed, except for Fanxing's internal artists and a few particularly popular judges who often come, other judges are very mobile.

The selection of judges is not strictly limited to the music industry, and occasionally actors, directors or other public figures are also employed.

Some media called the star judges of "Rising Star" actually Cao Xuan's connections in Fancy Show.

But in fact, if it really relied on connections at the beginning, but "Star of Tomorrow" became popular later, many stars were willing to show their faces and gain popularity.

Anyway, the judges often don't play a fundamentally decisive role in the promotion of the players, and are more about interacting with the players' comments.

To put it bluntly, it is convenient to show your face, but it will not be contaminated with any cause and effect.

And "Tomorrow's Star" is so popular now, the ratings are basically the first in the same period, and even the replay results are good.

When many celebrities come over, they can also promote their works by the way. The celebrities help the program to stand on the platform, and the program helps to yell twice, and everyone benefits from each other.

This is also the reason why many stars are willing to come, even because "Star of Tomorrow" is getting more and more popular, and the follow-up competitions need heavy guests.

As a result, the position of the judges is becoming more and more difficult to grab. If you are below a certain level, you don't even want to show your face to catch the heat.

For example, today, Sanbao is one of the top five music producers in the mainland, Tian Zhen and Zhang Xinzhe are both veteran big names, Gao Yuanyuan is popular, and he is his own person, and Han Sanshi is also a singer who has appeared in the Spring Festival Gala many times.

Anyone who pulls out any one is famous and well-known. I dare not say that it is the top batch, but it is also influential.

Therefore, who the star judges are in each episode has become a highlight of the "Rising Star" program, which is more or less a surprise and expectation of unpacking the blind box.

In addition to the five star judges, there are also a group of special guests in the top [-] promotion competition.

The center of the stage faced the judges' seats, and there were now 20 more tables on both sides of the judges' seats, sitting on the 20 champions of the division who had already advanced to the top [-].

They will serve as friendly cheerleaders, comment on the spot or canvass votes for their friends and players.

In fact, the biggest purpose is to attract these champions, most of whom are popular players, to attract fans and increase ratings.

After introducing the judges and the champions of the 20 competition areas, the host introduced the rules for the top [-] to advance to the top [-].

The rules are not complicated. 80 players will play against each other in pairs. The winners will advance to the next stage, and the losers will be eliminated. 40 players will be selected for another two-to-two PK. Finally, 20 players will be selected to advance to the top [-].

For the remaining 60, based on the previous results + popularity rankings, after calculating the comprehensive index, the last 30 will be directly eliminated, and the remaining 30 will compete for the final 10 top [-] places.

If you think about it carefully, the competition system is very cruel. If you want to advance directly, you have to play at least two knockout rounds. If you lose a game, you will be finished immediately.

If you become a loser, the top 30 will still have a chance to fight desperately, and the bottom 30 will be eliminated directly, and they will not even be given a chance to change their lives.

The camera did not show the participating contestants, but it gave 20 champions in the competition area, and many people were a little grateful.

Thanks to their direct promotion, if this is on the field, wouldn't it be risky...

The players were in complicated moods, and the fans might also be worried, but the melon-eating audience was very happy.

As for the competition, the more brutal the better, this kind of competition system forces all the contestants to do their best every game, desperately striving for victory, the program is naturally beautiful and exciting.

Hu Jing has served as a judge of "Rising Star" twice, and she still admires many contestants.

Seeing such a competition system, I couldn't help gritting my teeth when I entered it: "Whoever thinks of such a wicked rule is not afraid of life..."

"Bah bah bah."

Cao Xuan covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, otherwise your son will not be able to work hard for you as a mother after he is sensible."

Hu Jing also came to his senses, hit him angrily, and was a little worried, clasped his hands together and muttered.

"There is no limit to children's words, there is no limit to children's words, don't take it seriously, gods and Buddhas from all walks of life."

Cao Xuan was speechless, turned his head and saw that Empress Xigong also worshiped, after all, Cao Xuan's son might also be her son.

When the three of them were playing, the contestants were also divided into groups, two by two PK, and the first one to appear was Cao Xuan's acquaintance.

Xue Zhiqian VS Changan Division Liu Daqi

There is one thing to say, Xue Zhiqian is not a professional music background, he is a music amateur, but he has signed a contract with an entertainment company and received special training, which makes him stronger than ordinary people.

He was able to reach the top five in the Magic Capital Division, partly due to luck, partly due to his handsome looks and easy to attract fans.

The most important thing is that this guy is born with a joker, has a stalk on his body, and is very pleasing.

The clip of answering the phone during the audition was even shortlisted for the top ten auditions of "Rising Star", and was affectionately called "Mobile Brother" by many netizens.

This has also caused Xue Zhiqian to have a very good popularity. He competed with another popular player, Jinsha, in the Shanghai Metropolis Division, and even reached the top ten of the popularity list at his peak.

If it weren't for the fact that Ping An, the champion of the Modu Division, was superior in strength, and Xue and Jin were diverted from each other, it would be hard to say the champion of the Modu Division.

The other player, Liu Daqi, is very ordinary, even his own strength is not very good, and it is even a bit of luck to reach the top [-].

And the results of the two were not what most people expected.

Liu Daqi sang a well-regulated old song, and Xue Zhiqian sang an English song "Sugar" by Cao Xuan because of his experience in studying abroad and his proficiency in foreign languages.

"Tomorrow's Star" sings English songs to audiences across the country, men, women and children. To some extent, it is a risky game, because many middle-aged and elderly audiences don't like it.

But there are disadvantages and advantages, that is, English songs are more acceptable to young people, and even extra points will be added.

Not to mention some people, they feel that the English songs are compelling and they will strongly support them.

If Xue Zhiqian's opponent was a master today, he would probably be self-defeating, but he happened to meet the tepid Liu Daqi, and this song left a deeper impression on others.

Both songs are not original, no bonus points.

Neither of them is in the top ten of the popularity list, and there are no benefits.

Therefore, the score depends entirely on the off-site audience voting through the SMS network, combined with the scores of the five judges and the 500 audience on the spot, and comprehensive calculations to determine the winner.

The voting channel has been open since the performance of the two, and will be announced together after the judges and the champions of the competition area have finished their comments and scores.

Xue Zhiqian won a landslide victory.

Leaving aside the on-site scores, just talking about off-site voting, Xue Zhiqian won nearly 15 votes alone, while Liu Daqi only had a few thousand votes, which can be called a disastrous defeat.

Liu Daqi entered the elimination zone, waiting for the arrangement of fate, and Xue Zhiqian entered the pending zone.

A total of 10 contestants played today, divided into 5 duels, 5 victorious contestants, 1 bye in the draw, and tomorrow's decisive battle, the remaining 4 contestants will fight in pairs, and the winner will advance to the next stage.

That night, there were a total of 14 songs and more than two hours of live broadcast. Even Cao Xuan himself was hooked watching it.

In the end, the two who advanced today are Murong Xiaoxiao from Jinling Division and Yao Beina from Beijing Division.

Xue Zhiqian was unlucky, he ran into Yao Beina, a popular and powerful faction, and was instantly killed and entered the elimination zone.

However, considering his popularity, if he won't be eliminated directly, he should still have one last chance...

The next day, the news of the promotion of the contestants of "Rising Star" even appeared on the headlines of some newspapers, which shows the influence of this program.

Beijing TV also announced the ratings on the first day of the final stage of "Tomorrow's Star".

The average national audience rating is 4.28, ranking first in the same period!

Now even CCTV can't sit still anymore. I heard that they are planning to launch a program to catch the excitement of the talent show. It is said that the new program is called..."Avenue of Stars".

----

ps: It’s not my fault, the main reason is that many people said that they don’t want to watch Cao Tianwang’s career pretense, they want to watch the daily life, they also want to watch the heroine, and they also want to watch the career development of the supporting roles Barabara

I can only balance it properly and try to meet the needs of all parties. I hope everyone can understand.
In addition, it is the last few days, so I have the audacity to ask for a monthly ticket
