The promotional song of the album's title song "What I Miss" will be officially launched on major radio stations and TV stations on September 9th to promote and hit the charts.

As soon as this teaser blog came out, all of Cao Xuan's fans switched to the Chinese New Year state in an instant.

Although Cao Xuan has basically not released a new album in Chinese since the beginning of 2002, it does not mean that his appeal in the hearts of fans has declined.

On the contrary, after 2002, Cao Xuan mainly focused on Europe and the United States.

An EP, an official studio album, outstanding record, many songs reached the US Billboard, two Billboard singles topped the Billboard singles chart, won six Grammys in total, and was promoted to the top international singers.

Cao Xuan's achievements in Europe, America and even the world are also fed back to the fans, and because of this unprecedented achievement, his status in the hearts of fans is infinitely lofty.

Not only fans, but also neutral fans and passers-by. The distance produces beauty, coupled with the filter of "international superstar". . .

Less than a day after Cao Xuan's teaser blog was released, it hit the headlines of many media, and many people paid great attention to his new album.

To be honest, even Cao Xuan, who had experienced many battles, couldn't help feeling a little nervous when he saw this scene.

The outside world thinks too highly of him now, it can be said that there is a lot of attention, and he can't guarantee that his new album will be recognized by everyone.

Fortunately, Cao Xuan has experienced a lot of tempering in these years. After the sea of ​​praise and praise, there are endless criticisms and criticisms.

Cao Xuan's psychological quality is tough enough, no matter what the evaluation of the new album is, he will face it as calmly as possible.

He has one more thing on his mind than the upcoming release of his new album.

Beijing, a bureau compound
Cao Xuan and Sanye Han came out of the yard, looking at the depressed Cao Xuan, Sanye Han couldn't help persuading him.

"Don't worry too much. Didn't you just say you want to do some research, and you didn't directly deny it."

"Don't be in a hurry, Director Han, I've already started casting, and the director has been found, and the schedule is almost ready. The next step is the vision, and I plan to finish filming before the Spring Festival. If the review gets stuck, all have to be overthrown."

"This is not the place to talk, find a restaurant and talk."

"Go to my place, tight-lipped."

Cao Xuan and Mr. Han came to Caoshangfei by car, and they didn't use the private room, so they went directly to Cao Xuan's special study room, which also had a set of tables and chairs.

The two ordered four dishes and one soup. During the serving, Mr. Han walked around the courtyard and the study.

"You have a good environment here."

"You like to come often, I asked them to give you a discount."

Han Sanye caught the waiter and asked the price of the dishes, and couldn't help but click his tongue: "I can't afford this, it's too expensive."

"Expensive is expensive, our dishes are good, you try this sea cucumber with green onions, it's no better than Fengzeyuan's."

Sanye Han put a piece of sea cucumber into his mouth, chewed it briefly, his eyes lit up slightly: "The mouth is quite straight."

"Come as often as you like, our chef's craftsmanship will never let you down."

Cao Xuan greeted with a smile. As for what Sanye Han said about "can't afford it", just listen to it. There are no eight rules these days. Besides, in his capacity, it doesn't cost money to go out to eat. The major film companies There is no way to grab a treat.

The "discount" mentioned by Cao Xuan is also very interesting. A 9.9% discount is called a discount, and a 0.1% discount is also called a discount.

Moreover, after discounting, you can still keep accounts, and the accounts will be automatically cleared at the end of the year. From the perspective of procedures, it is definitely a very ordinary and normal catering expenditure.

Even this "accounting" does not necessarily have to be recorded on the head of the person concerned.

According to last year’s bill, Cao Xuan himself ate 1500+ meals on the grass. Except for a few Cao Xuan’s treats and parents and other designated personnel to keep accounts, the rest is self-evident.

Although Cao Xuan didn't like the twists and turns, sometimes it was hard to avoid.

Fortunately, he only has a private restaurant, at most people can satisfy their appetites, and the rest of their own subordinates have a good public relations in private.

Like the CEOs of other companies, he is more "capable" than him, with a variety of industries under his umbrella, directly allowing people to eat, drink and have fun.

For example, the boss of Xingmei has a lot to do with the famous "Heaven and Earth"...

Of course, Sanye Han's style is much stronger than some people's. The two of them chatted about delicious food before they got down to business.

In fact, the matter is very simple. Some plots of the script of "New World" failed to pass the review. Cao Xuan just dragged Han Sanye to negotiate in person, but it still failed.

"Xiao Cao, I'm not talking about you. The scale is too big, and even the return is involved. It has been less than 10 years since Xiangjiang's return. Be stable."

"Han Dong, I don't think there is any need to make a big deal out of a molehill. Besides, isn't this just a veiled expression? I want to directly blacken the hero, but the point is that I don't agree."

"You also have to understand that the middle and high-level police forces are making troubles with the intention of doing something wrong with the return, which might lead to resistance."

"It's because of this that the male lead, an undercover policeman, killed the boss who wanted to make trouble, so that he could justify his name and not be cleaned up afterwards. He was even valued by the mainland police and supported and supervised the Xiangjiang gang."

Cao Xuan explained to Han Sanye more than once, as he said before.

China is not South Korea. If "New World" wants to be filmed, the background needs to be moved to Xiangjiang, but if it wants to be released, there must be a reasonable explanation for the male lead to become the boss of the gangster.

Otherwise, regardless of various objective reasons, the ending of the last undercover policeman being blackened, killing his boss, and becoming the boss of the gang would definitely not be approved.

Even if Xiangjiang can be screened, the mainland cannot pass, so there is no need to make this movie.

So Cao Xuan thought hard, combined the plots of "Cold War" and "Black XX: Peace is the Most Valuable", and changed it a bit.

Before the comeback, the police boss was an ambitious man who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble in the club where the male protagonist was undercover, causing the club to get out of control, causing turmoil, and then affecting the comeback plan.

When the male lead was fighting with him, he finally discovered his conspiracy. It was not only for selfish revenge, but also for the righteousness of the family and the country. In the end, he killed the second master who was conspired by his boss and his boss, and became the leader of the society.

Later, the male protagonist wanted to do business for nothing, or simply leave Xiangjiang, but was approached by people from the mainland.

They knew what had happened and the hero's undercover status, and felt that the hero's character was guaranteed and they could cooperate, so they hoped that he would continue to serve as an undercover agent, as the boss to control the club and maintain order.

So the male protagonist became an "undercover" who could never go ashore, and Xiangjiang's underground world and Xiangjiang also ushered in a new world.

In this way, the boss will not be guilty of death, and the hero's ending as the boss of the gang can be fulfilled.

But the review is still difficult. On the one hand, it is the matter of the comeback, and on the other hand, some people think that it is disgraceful and detrimental to the image of the mainland to support the male protagonist to control the club.

So now Cao Xuan is very melancholy, thinking for a while whether to change the magic at all, it is the male protagonist who blackened and murdered, but it is enough to pass the trial.

There is another way, which is to change the ending and let the hero turn himself in. This way, it will be no problem to pass the trial, and the excitement of the movie will be greatly reduced.

Cao Xuan still wanted to strive for a better version, so he came to a certain game and brought Sanye Han here.

After all, not to mention the strength of this person's network, he is also very strong in movie review and control. He is a famous expert in reviewing in later generations, and I don't know how many sensitive movies are finally launched through him.

After the two collaborations of "When a Man is in Love" and "Xiu Chun Knife", China Film Group has gained a lot of benefits, and at the same time, Han Sanye saw the potential of the stars.

From the bottom of his heart, he really wants Fanxing to continue to succeed, so this time he will come here specially to advise Cao Xuan.

The wine was half drunk, and after realizing that Cao Xuan was determined not to change the ending, Han Sanye also understood where Cao Xuan's bottom line was.

That's right, the biggest highlight of the movie "New World" is the hero's anti-killing. If this is revised, the charm of the movie will be greatly reduced.

Cao Xuan tried his best to go around in a circle, not for the sake of passing the trial, if he could change the ending, he would have changed it long ago.

"Since you can't change it, then grind it slowly. Many things can be grinded out."

After Han Sanye gave an idea that was not an idea.

After listening to Sanye Han's words, Cao Xuan suddenly realized that he was still in a hurry and forgot about it.

When this kind of shift is handed over, troubles are the most avoided. After a while, everything will be on the right track, and some problems may be solved easily.

"In addition, it's best not to control Fanxing. Finding a Xiangjiang company as the main producer will also help the review. I don't need to teach you this."

"I understand, to be honest, recently I am in contact with the acquisition of a qualified Hong Kong company. Hong Kong movies are in decline, and this kind of company is easy to get."

"Okay, the success rate should be increased by [-]%."

There was no need for a heavy hammer to play the drum, and Sanye Han ordered as long as he could, and Cao Xuan got up to toast.

"Ginger is still old and spicy, I have been taught today."

"It's all a superficial relationship. Even without me, I guess you can figure it out in a while."

Sanye Han didn't accept Cao Xuan's flattery, but shook his head and said with emotion.

"Actually, you know everything, but you just don't bother to do it. If you can bend down like Fatty Yu and the Wang family brothers, they will have nothing to do with them in this circle."

Regarding Sanye Han's words, Cao Xuan didn't admit or deny, just smiled.

"I'm still young, learn slowly."

"It's not a good thing. It doesn't matter if you don't learn it. There are many people who bend down in the circle. Cao Xuan is the only one. He is precious."

"You praise me, I'm not as good as you say."

Cao Xuan had a compulsion in his heart. If he didn't do some things himself, it didn't mean that the people in the company would not do it. Otherwise, Fanxing's TV dramas and miscellaneous projects would not be so easy to handle.

If he was really noble and strong, he would have retired to play the world long ago, and would break up with these people when he was full.

Sanye Han smiled and didn't talk too much. He and Cao Xuan have different judgment standards.

Comparing Cao Xuan himself to those well-behaved and decent people must be full of flaws, but when Han Sanye compares him to his peers, it will naturally be set off like an independent white lotus in the mud.

This world is so fucking, when everyone is rotten, as long as you are not so rotten, you will be considered a "good person"...

.........

With Sanye Han's guidance, Cao Xuan calmed down for the time being, but he still had to grind, and when the news from above ended, this group of people would have to review it.

Cao Xuan has even prepared for the worst. If "New World" really can't pass the review, then give up and shoot "Xiu Chun Knife 2" first.

Compared with the suspended film review, Cao Xuan is now more worried about the actor's schedule.

Before Cao Xuan had reached an agreement with Du Qifeng of Yinhe Image, the other party saw the success of Chen Kexin and Mr. Xu, and was willing to cooperate with Cao Xuan for a while.

Similarly, because of the popularity of "Embroidered Spring Knife", coupled with Du Qifeng and Yinghuang's connections, Cao Xuan can also contact many Xiangjiang actors to join.

In the movie "New World", there are not many main characters.

The male protagonist Li Zicheng, the male protagonist's good brother Elevator God of War Ding Qing, the villain boss, the second master who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, the fourth master who fights for the top position, the high-level police, the villain's boss liaison, the Vietnamese killer transformed by Yanbian...

The above are the main characters, and there are some background characters that don't need to be introduced too much.

Cao Xuan must be the male protagonist Li Zicheng, and Chen Huimin is the second master who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. As I said before, this is mainly to help the film solve some problems in the real society.

The most important roles in the remaining scenes are the villain boss, Ding Qing and the fourth master.

At the beginning, Cao Xuan really wanted to find Huang Laogou to play the role of the villain boss. On the one hand, this kind of crazy policeman is really suitable for the other party.

But after thinking about it later, Cao Xuan had no choice but to dismiss this idea, he was afraid that he couldn't help but do something on the set.

Later, Liang Jiahui was chosen, and Liang Jiahui was actually quite suitable. The scheming and gloomy villain is definitely one of the roles he is best at.

Fa Ge can actually do it too, but Cao Xuan doesn't think he can let him match him, let alone the pay, it's too expensive.

Cao Xuan also thought about Hong Jinbao and Ren Dahua. The former has a stable and domineering momentum after he gets older, while the latter's gentle and simple image and temperament are very suitable for playing this kind of villain who is good and evil.

As the neurotic fourth master, Wu Zhenyu was the first thing Cao Xuan thought of, and he almost never made the second choice.

Cao Xuan even felt that the original "New World" movie had a strong Hong Kong flavor, and borrowed a lot from Hong Kong movies. The Four Masters probably designed it according to the representative character Liang Kun.

Wu Zhenyu's role is regarded as his true nature. In order to prevent accidents, Cao Xuan added pheasant Chen Xiaochun and Chang Wei as candidates.

As for the role of Ding Qing, it can almost be said that it is the most attractive role in the whole movie, and it is also the most difficult role for Cao Xuan to choose.

There are no Xiangjiang actors that he thinks are particularly suitable. A few of them are on the sidelines. They are either too handsome or too small.

After drawing a circle, Cao Xuan felt that Tony Leung Ka-fai, the best actor in Hong Kong, was the best candidate for Hong Kong actor.

However, Cao Xuan was not in a hurry to finalize the film. After all, this is a co-production. Heung Kong actors have already been used for several important roles. Ding Qing could actually use mainland actors, but Cao Xuan has not yet figured out who to use.

Sun Honglei?
Ugly but pretty ugly, temperament is okay, but will it be too fierce.

Hu Jun?

He's a bit upright, and he and Cao Xuan have just acted as brothers before, so it's easy to play as a second partner.

Zhang Hanyu?
It's also because the image is too upright, and the reputation is too small. Ding Qing doesn't want to join Cao Xuan. It's better to have some influence to facilitate publicity.

Wang Zhiwen?
Playing Li Zicheng is about the same, playing the more reckless Ding Qing may be a bit out of harmony.

Jiang Wen?

To be honest, Cao Xuan felt that he was strong enough to hold this guy down, he was afraid that the movie monster would turn into Ding Qing and bring his brothers into the police station to rob the chief's wife...

Cao Xuan pondered over and over again, and finally made up his mind. He just put Liang Jiahui, Sun Honglei and others who were relatively more suitable on the candidate list, and then held a meeting with director Du Qifeng and others to study.

As for the top police officers, this role is easy to find, and the old actor Liao Qizhi is quite suitable, or you can find other old actors, Xiangjiang still has a lot of old actors.

The contact person of the villain's boss is set to be a woman, and there are only a few female characters besides Li Zicheng's wife.

Without hesitation, Cao Xuan gave it to Fan Xiaopang to help his first sister pave a few more steps on the road.

And the main character's wife doesn't have many roles, so just find any female star to play a guest role, whether it's the Second Palace of East and West or a starry female artist.

In the end, there are two Vietnamese killers. The original version is that the movie deliberately blacked Yanbian, and Cao Xuan didn't think much about blacking Vietnam, even though they played the men's football 3:1.

So the two Vietnamese killers, played by Huang Bo and Ba Liang Jin...

Well, it's mainly for comedy effect, nothing else.

The above-mentioned roles are basically delineated, and the other small role Cao Xuan has given a lot of images to Yinghuang and Yinhe, and some actors in the mainland have also got the opportunity.

Compared with most co-productions that sell dog meat, "New World" can be regarded as a real co-production.

Even if the film hadn't been filmed in Xiangjiang, considering the compatibility of the actors and plot background, as well as the cost of filming and the personal problems of the actors, the list of mainland cast members of the crew would have to be expanded.

But that's good too, one of the selling points of "New World" is the Hong Kong crime gangster movie, if it is full of mainland faces, the selling point of this Hong Kong movie will not be successful.

Originally, the casting of "New World" has come to an end, and some actors are even ready to discuss contracts.

Now that the review is so delayed, many plans have been disrupted, and some role actors may have to be changed. Cao Xuan can only try his best to save it.

.........

While Cao Xuan was busy with the movie "New World", on September 9, the first title song of his new album "I Love" was released.

The so-called "I Love" doesn't actually have much meaning, it just took the first words of some of the songs, and then came up with this name.

At the same time, "I Love" also means that this album has more love songs.

Aside from the previously released "When You Are Old", "Borrowing the Moon", "Between the Rainbow", "You Are April in the World", "Today You Will Marry Me" and so on.

Of the ten new songs in the new album, 7-8 are love songs in total. Although "Rolling Bead Curtain" is Chinese style, it is also about love in essence, and it can also be regarded as a love song.

So Cao Xuan wrote "I Love", which can be regarded as concise and to the point.

As for the first title song "What I Miss", it is a lyrical memory song, which was released by Sun Yanzi in 2007.

Back then, Cao Xuan gave Sun Yanzi the song "Little Lucky", and now it's time for her, a little girl, to pay back the debt.

This song can be regarded as Sun Yanzi's masterpiece, and its reputation is not much worse than "Dark Sky", "Encounter" and "Green Light".

Of course, the original version was a song for girls, and Cao Xuan made some changes to the lyrics when he sang it.

On the morning of the 9th, major radio stations or TV stations began to push this song.

Cao Xuan himself also uploaded the MV video of the new song on the Penguin Blog, which was then forwarded by various celebrities.

This is the benefit of the development of the Internet. It breaks through the shackles of traditional media and TV stations, opens up new communication methods, and can spread propaganda to a greater extent.

Many netizens who have seen the preview before have been waiting for this moment. When they see the release of the new song, they will go in and watch it.

The click-through rate of Cao Xuan's new blog is rising at a terrifying speed. In less than an hour, it has exceeded 200 million clicks and plays, and the comment area has reached tens of thousands of messages.

Such a hot scene still couldn't stop the netizens who came one after another. Fortunately, Penguin Blog had the foresight to make preparations in advance.

Otherwise, with such a large-scale sudden activity, even if the server will not crash, the webpage will still be stuck.

After clicking on the video, it was the unkempt Cao Xuan sitting in a room with no lights on, watching the fireworks outside the window silently.

The short piano prelude ended, and Cao Xuan's deep voice sounded.

"I asked why

a man will send you flowers
and why are you

Keep your head down and be silent without explaining

i should believe you love me
unwilling to perfuse me
still understand
you don't want to save anything

……

The story of the MV of "What I Miss" is very simple. It is the story of the heroine cheating on the legs, the hero Cao Xuan is sad, recalling those happy times before, and finally relieved.

A large part of the plot is the hero played by Cao Xuan and the heroine played by Hu Jing, all kinds of sweet interactive life, and then accompanied by the melody of memory and sadness, all kinds of heart abuse.

"What I miss is saying nothing

what i miss is thinking about it together

what i miss is after the quarrel

Still want to love you impulse

......"

At the end of the story, facing the apologetic heroine, Cao Xuan smiled, rubbed the other's head as he did before, but put the photo of the two of them in the corner forever after returning.

"so much love
So I
did not say

and laughed

......"

How should I put it, unlike some of Cao Xuan's dog licking songs before, this song is actually more of a reminiscence after the breakup, not a dog licking, but it is still a standard bitter love song.

In the comment section of the blog, except for the stories made up by various writers, the overall comments are still very positive, and there are also jokes.

【I cried, I sang very tastefully】

【The melody is really moving】

[There is no waiting for three years in vain, the talent of the Great Demon King is still the same]

[Where are those dogs who say bad things about their talents, come out and die]

[What Zhang Yu, Adu, Pheasant, I have to stand aside when Cao thief comes]

【I Zhang Xinzhe refuses to accept, his songs are truly humble to the extreme】

[Although it sounds good, I don't understand why Cao Daguan was "green" again]

[You write songs like this, it's hard for me to wonder if you were stimulated by something? 】

[In the MV, you are submissive, but in reality, you strike hard, the bitter love song can be understood by Cao thief]

[What kind of bitterness, this is singing about love, about the sadness and helplessness of a relationship that cannot go to the end, have you ever been in love, what a fart]

[Holy shit, you don't hit someone in the face, just kill him! ! ! 】

【Big gossip】

【Five Horses Divided】
