China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 430 Listening to the song at the Spring Festival Gala, it's so special that it's Cao Xuan!

Rewinding the time to 3 minutes ago, in the corridor from the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala to the stage, the nervous face of Nishinomiya Niangniang, who was dressed in a palace costume, turned slightly pale.

Live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, facing hundreds of millions or even billions of Chinese audiences in front of the TV.

That kind of suffocating psychological pressure cannot be overcome by simply overcoming it.

In the decades of the Spring Festival Gala, there are many actors who have emotional breakdowns when they are on stage, and the tapes and broadcasts are just like this.

Even Cao Xuan, an old-timer, couldn't be completely emotional before taking the stage, let alone a newcomer to the Spring Festival Gala like Zeng Li.

"I regret it a little bit."

Zeng Damei looked at the scene on the stage and forced a wry smile at Cao Xuan.

She is different from Hu Jing. Although Empress Donggong is the most low-key of the four little Huadans, her popularity is here, and she is always under the flashlight. She has seen many big scenes and has honed herself in all aspects.

On the contrary, Zeng Li never came out of the ivory tower of the campus when he was in college, and when he came out to pick up the show, it was the "nanny" crew arranged by Cao Xuan, who was guarded in every way.

Her reputation is tepid, her behavior is low-key, and Cao Xuan suppresses the media. Except for the shock of public opinion when she had an affair with Cao Xuan, she has not experienced any major public occasions in the past two years.

For the Spring Festival Gala, she actually didn't take it that seriously. After all, her husband attended it every year, and so did Hu Jing.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, it seems that going to the Spring Festival Gala is a very common thing. Zeng Li once felt that he was just following Cao Xuan to play tickets. Before that, he was excitedly calling his mother and sister in the dressing room to let them watch the show.

It wasn't until now, standing in the backstage waiting area before going on stage, that Zeng Li slowly felt the terrifying attention of this stage. .

The relaxed mood has also become worrying about gains and losses. If the performance fails, it will be the laughing stock of the whole country.

The performance was about to take place, and Cao Xuan didn't have time to say long words to appease her, so he directly held her hand.

"It doesn't matter if the performance fails, everything is up to me."

A few dancers next to them looked at the hands that were clenched between the two, with such expressions as expected.

During the rehearsal before, they felt that the relationship between the two was probably not simple, but they didn't get the real hammer. Now at the critical moment, the two finally stopped acting.

But, it's all about right now, isn't it the right time for the two of you to be flirting now?

Can you respect the Spring Festival Gala?
Can you respect the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV!
Can you respect them few living beings, the love of the king of heaven is real, it will affect the state of the performance very much!

Fortunately, the two still have a conscience, and they thought of these melon-eating people.

"Come on everyone, treat everyone to a big meal later, and go shopping in Xidan, Guomao, and Xintiandi."

It doesn't matter whether it's a hush money or a reward for a brave woman, anyway, the "coin-spreading method" will never go out of style. Several people clapped softly and stepped onto the stage.

Empress Nishinomiya and dancers appeared first to create the atmosphere, and then Cao Xuan appeared and sang the main song of "The Drunken Concubine".

"Chinese style, it sounds good."

Jiang Chang, who was in front of the TV, was a die-hard fan of Cao Xuan, and immediately started playing without thinking. The proprietress was more sensible than him, but she also thought the song was good.

Cao Xuan has appeared in the Spring Festival Gala six times, except for one "Yellow Race", the other songs are hard to say that they are Chinese style songs. Many fans feel regretful. Many people hope that Cao Xuan can perform a Chinese style song in the Spring Festival Gala.

But today's "New Drunken Concubine", the familiar Chinese style melody and lyrics, surprised many audiences and fans.

But everyone did not expect that the soul C of the song "New Drunken Concubine" is not Cao Xuan.

After all, with Cao Xuan's dominance in the Chinese music scene, it's hard for everyone to imagine that Cao Xuan would be willing to support others in pop music.

But Cao Xuan told everyone today that others would definitely not do it, but he was still willing to spoil his own wife.

"Jianmen Pass is your deep miss for me
Mawei Po is willing to die for true love
......"

After singing this line, Cao Xuan put down the microphone and looked back at the "imperial concubine" on the high platform.

Zeng Li, who had been silently prepared for a long time ago, wore a graceful and magnificent palace dress, slightly raised her sleeves to cover her face, her eyes were slightly fascinated, her gaze was bright, her love was deep, and she was sultry. Ling has a high-pitched voice that resounds across the stage
"Love and hate are in an instant
Raising a glass to the moon

love and hate

ask when you wish

......"

As I said earlier, Empress Xigong was born in a serious opera class. She started to learn opera in her early 10s. She can sing Tsing Yi and Hua Dan, and she is better at Tsing Yi.

After college, although I often practice basic skills, the overall level will definitely decline.

However, after confirming to sing "The Drunken Concubine", Nishinomiya picked up the basic skills of the year again, practiced hard for half a year, and then asked the boss to give her advice.

The comprehensive level is definitely incomparable with those opera performers who can go to the Spring Festival Gala.

But it is definitely much better than many high-level fanciers, and it is not invincible to fight against professional actors, especially in the words "New Drunken Concubine", professional actors can't find any faults.

At the same time, because of Cao Xuan's "throwing bricks to attract jade" in the early stage, the audience's attention was drawn to himself, and Zeng Li suddenly burst into drama.

The great contrast and clear and melodious melody, coupled with Zeng Li's exquisite facial makeup, caught everyone's ears and eyes.

Two word evaluation——

Stunning!

Jiang Chang and his wife were overwhelmed by the drama of "The New Drunken Concubine" by the Empress of the West Palace.

"Chinese style, and opera accent, this song is really amazing."

Both the Chinese style and opera style were brought out of the circle by Cao Xuan's "Chinese Style" album, and that song "Chi Ling" has appeared on major on-demand charts and TV reruns from time to time.

In the follow-up, some singers also imitated the opera songs similar to "Chi Ling", and there are many excellent works, but the most impressive one is Cao Xuan's "Chi Ling".

Not only because of the song quality of "Chi Ling", but also the story in the MV, and the feelings of family and country revealed in the whole song.

However, Cao Xuan has not released any opera songs since "Chi Ling". Many people regret it, but they never thought that they would discover a new song at the Spring Festival Gala today.

It's a pity that Cao Xuan didn't sing the opera, but Zeng Li also performed well, and his appearance was even better by three points.

Cao Tianwang is 1.8 meters tall, and it is very difficult to play a male role. Even though technical operations are used in the MV to minimize violations, he can still see a bit of "female".

Fortunately, the story itself is an idea to fight against the invaders, which is not particularly abrupt.

But in terms of Huadan's figure, femininity, style, excellent capital + professional background Zeng Damei, she is definitely out of Cao Datianwang Batiaojie.

In front of the TV, I don't know how many people looked at the graceful and mournful beauty of the prosperous age, and frantically licked the screen...

For example, the lady boss praised Zengli's beauty over and over again, and expressed it firmly.

"This Yang Guifei must have had an affair with Cao Xuan, otherwise Cao Xuan wouldn't praise her so much."

“How come you see?”

Although Jiang Chang is a man, when he heard that his idol had a partner, his first reaction was mainly resistance, thinking that others were not good enough for Cao Xuan.

"If the two of them have nothing to do, why should Cao Xuan write a song for her, why should he cooperate with her, and why should she let her sing to show her face? The climax of this song is all in the opera, you don't think Cao Xuan can't sing the opera Bar?"

"This……"

Although Jiang Chang really wanted to refute, but she was really persuaded, the proprietress didn't care about him, she was gearing up to show an excited gossip face.

"Let's watch. In the next few days, rumors about Cao Xuan and her scandal will be everywhere. It will be exciting to watch."

Jiang Chang ignored her. As a Cao Xuan fan, even if he didn't pay much attention to the current affairs news, even if he heard about one-tenth of Cao Tianwang's 600+ scandal objects, he was basically immune to the scandal of Cao Daguan.

Unless the rumored person is a man, or Cao Xuan personally made an official announcement or other major circumstances, everyone's mood is still very calm.

"New Drunken Concubine" is over, and the next show is a mix of popular songs. Popular Hong Kong and Taiwan pop singers such as Cai Yilin, Wang Mou, Joey Yung, She Tuan, Cheng Liuzi, etc., appeared one by one.

In addition, after two more programs, there is a big mix of online songs.

"The First Snow in [-]", "Two Butterflies", "Above the Moon", "Mouse Loves Rice", "I'm Not Huang Rong" and other hit songs this year are on stage.

The appearance of so many popular new stars and popular songs has firmly pressed the audience in front of the TV. It is rare for them to leave the TV when they see singing and dancing programs like before.

Afterwards, Naying and Cheng Long contributed solos above the standard, Han Hong's "Road to Heaven" was vast and clear, and the old lady's "Tianyao Zhonghua" was magnificent.

The two "big songs" that are different from ordinary pop music can be said to have overwhelmed the scene with the previous noisy songs, making the whole party singing and dancing programs lively and solemn at the same time.

Many old viewers couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and found that there are so many good singing and dancing shows in this year's Spring Festival Gala, one after another, and there are few urine spots.

Language programs are also excellent.

The opening cross talk "Consultation Hotline" was full of burdens, and Huang Hong's "Decoration" swept away the decadence of previous years. Feng Gong joined forces with Zhu Jun to spoof "Art Life" inside and outside the play, with tears in his laughter.

Another host, Li Yong, will also share with Northeast Erren the other two representative comedians Wei San and Sun Xiaobao, and they will come to "Extraordinary Star".

But if we want to talk about the finale, it has to be "Kung Fu", the last part of Lao Zhao and Fan Wei's trilogy of selling abductees.

Although the Iron Triangle was missing a corner, the two apprentices "Wang Laoqi" and "Li Daguo" barely made it up. Lao Zhao and Fan Wei's golden partner played steadily and won the house again without any surprise.

"The pig hit the tree, did you hit the pig?"

"Oh, it's impossible to guard against!"

"Do you know why it failed? He is a cook who doesn't read recipes, but studies the art of war."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

One thing to say, this skit actually has less script baggage and jokes than the previous two, and the reason is that the screenwriter has changed.

Iron Triangle seems to have some conflicts, the original screenwriter He Qingkui quit, which is one of the main reasons why Zhao, Gao, and Fan Iron Triangle did not cooperate this year.

However, the tacit understanding between Lao Zhao and Fan Wei and their grasp of the fire of comedy performances allowed them to make up for the shortcomings of the script, so that the final effect of this sketch is not inferior to the first two.

However, Fan Wei also made mistakes during the performance, which made him feel more and more pressured by the Spring Festival Gala.

Coupled with other reasons, this skit also became his last Spring Festival Gala work. After that, Lao Zhao was the only one left in the Audio-Technica to struggle on the Spring Festival Gala stage. The golden partner of the Spring Festival Gala that year became the swan song.

Lao Zhao's "Kung Fu" is scheduled at around 10 o'clock, and the finale of this year's Spring Festival Gala at midnight is the chorus of Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou.

This is also the only zero-point finale of Cao Xuan's seven Spring Festival Gala experiences.

There are many reasons. On the one hand, the program group of the Spring Festival Gala fancy the gimmick of the chorus of two generations of heavenly kings, and at the same time, there is no way to do it.

It was not easy to come to the finale show at zero o'clock, and Lao Zhao always pushed it as soon as he could. Cao Xuan didn't make the finale before because he was not qualified, but because he didn't want to bear the burden.

But this time Cao Xuan has an official status, and things that he could push in the past are not easy to push this year, so he can only bring Xiao Zhou.

But there is one thing to say, the zero-point finale of the Spring Festival Gala is pressure, and it is also a different kind of honor.

Ordinary shows and artists are not qualified to be the finale!

Near zero, a song and dance program ended, and the hosts Zhu Jun and Dong Qing appeared on the screen.

"Hey, Dong Qing, I've been looking forward to the following program for a long time."

"Really, what program."

"Let me ask you first, do you know what Chinese style is?"

"Of course I know, Chinese style is..."

"It seems that I can't test you, the next two singers will bring us a very nice Chinese style song.

They are the best singers in the current Chinese pop music scene, and they are also a pair of very good friends. They are affectionately called "Bei Cao Nan Zhou" by fans. "

"Please, Cao Xuan, Zhou Jielun!"

There was constant applause at the scene, and Jiang Chang and his wife were also very excited. They finally waited for this song, but when the host called it [Northern Cao Nan Zhou], Jiang Chang inevitably frowned.

"Jie Lun has only released a few albums this week, and he has just become popular, so what qualifications does he have to be on par with Cao Xuan?"

"He's not bad either. "Qilixiang" is very popular."

""Ordinary Road" is more popular, "Blue and White Porcelain", "Fairy Tale", "The Wind Rises", "Ten Years", "Your Answer" and "Twilight". There are dozens of songs, how can the surname Zhou compare with Cao Xuan.

That’s all, not counting Cao Xuan’s English songs, which won the Grammy and Billboard’s singles charts, Jay Chou’s name came out of the Chinese circle, how many people know him…”

Jiang Chang was a little emotional, which was also the view of many Cao Xuan fans. In the past, everyone had a good impression of Xiao Zhou and regarded him as Cao Xuan's younger brother.

Now the younger brother dares to sit on an equal footing with the older brother, this is unbearable in the eyes of many Cao Xuan fans.

It's not that they hate Jay Chou, but they can't tolerate the saying of "Northern Cao and Southern Zhou".

It is precisely because of their persistence that the Chinese music circle's statement of "one dominates, one surpasses many strongs" has not been covered up by "Northern Cao Nanzhou", on the contrary, there is a faint tendency to overtake.

After all, except for Zhou's fans, in the eyes of most passers-by, Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou are indeed not on the same level.

Including this Spring Festival Gala, although the media said that the two heavenly kings joined forces, in the eyes of most people, Cao Xuan supported the younger brother to add gimmicks to the Spring Festival Gala.

Although the proprietress felt that Jiang Chang was a little serious, she was right after thinking about it, and she just said something to comfort her.

"Listen to the song. I think they have a good relationship. Cao Xuan regards him as a younger brother, and Jay Chou also respects him very much. You don't need to make the distinction too clear."

The proprietress doesn't chase stars, and she doesn't like these things. Although she loves Wu Jiwu and prefers Cao Xuan, she also listens to other singers' good songs.

Jiang Chang didn't go into details with her, the way of thinking was different, and when the show started, he wanted to listen to the song.

On the stage, Cao Xuan and Xiao Zhou slowly walked out from both sides, facing each other, and walked to the center.

Jay Chou has a bright gold and black suit with some sequin rivets on the clothes, some highlights in his hair, and a necklace hanging around his neck, which is fashionable and cool.

Cao Xuan was wearing a light white gown, embroidered with green bamboo and blue stones, half-length black hair combed into a simple and neat back, behind the left hand, walking slowly, elegant and refined.

"Eaves like cliffs
wind chimes like sea

I wait for Yan to return

......"

The two walked to the middle of the stage, Jay Chou sang first, followed by Cao Xuan.

"Time is scheduled
play an accident

you go away quietly
......"

The singing and singing styles of the two are faintly consistent with their appearance.

Jay Chou's singing voice and rhythm are lighter, and it is also the R&B genre that he is better at personally.

Cao Xuan's singing is more stable, clear and soft, with a hint of bel canto.

The completely different styles of the two make this song a sense of contrast. It also has a fashionable melody and traditional ancient style, bringing a unique auditory impact.

At the same time, this kind of contrast allows people to easily distinguish the difference, but it also feels inexplicably harmonious and compatible, with a natural taste.

There is one thing to say, in the song "Thousands of Miles Away", Zhou's part is more auxiliary, and the C position is the original dirty demon king.

The song itself is vaguely written based on part of Fei's experience, and at the same time, Fei is Xiao Zhou's fucking idol.

Damn, god, idol, that is, the idol of Xiao Zhou's mother Ye Huimei, the sentence must be clear...

Now that Cao Xuan has replaced the position of the Demon King, he is still the main attacker, and Xiao Zhou is the assistant.

Years of professional training has made Cao Xuan's singing skills infinitely close to the top. At least in this cooperation, it completely overwhelms Xiao Zhou who has not yet reached his peak, and the climax is perfectly presented.

"I'll send you away, thousands of miles away

you are silent black and white

Silent age, maybe it shouldn't be

too far away love
......"

"Thousands of Miles Away" is a representative classic work of the original time and space Chinese style, with excellent lyrics and melody.

Perhaps Cao Xuan's singing skills are slightly inferior to the demon king, but he is in a very good emotional state today, which somewhat makes up for this little disadvantage, and he also feels that the cooperation with Xiao Zhou is better than the original version.

Perhaps because of the emotional status of the two, Xiao Zhou is willing to play support honestly, which is more harmonious than the original version.

Although the original Lich King's status and qualifications are not low, he is a guest army after all, and he "lacks confidence" when cooperating, which is not as calm as Cao Xuan's main attack.

As far as this performance is concerned, Cao Xuan is personally very satisfied. Although it is not the pinnacle of his Spring Festival Gala work, it is still above average.

After the song was sung, the audience applauded like thunder, and the fans in front of the TV, including Jiang Chang, also expressed their sincere praise.

"Listening to the song in the Spring Festival Gala, it must be Cao Xuan!"

.........

On the backstage of the Spring Festival Gala, Cao Xuan, who was off stage, took off his equipment and let out a sigh of relief.

He has successfully completed 90% of today's tasks, and as long as the rest of the program after zero o'clock ends perfectly, he can go back to sleep comfortably.

Xiao Zhou also unloaded his equipment: "Brother Xuan, when are you leaving? I'll wait for you."

"No, I have to watch to the end. Your sister-in-law is here. You can go first. Auntie is still waiting for you to go home for the New Year."

Jay Chou was not hypocritical, after all Cao Xuan had to go home ten minutes before he had to catch a plane to Taiwan Province, he was the one who was the farthest between the two.

"Don't forget to call Shangyi Lin, it's convenient to walk together."

Cao Xuan asked, but Xiao Zhou looked a little hesitant, and said after a moment of hesitation, "Brother, I broke up with her."

"?"

Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the two had a good relationship before, and he must have known that it was he who helped lead the thread in the beginning of tracing the root cause, but he really didn't know about the separation.

He is usually too busy, and the rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala come and go in a hurry, so he really didn't pay special attention to the situation of the two of them.

After all, Cao Xuan wouldn't chase after this kind of private matter if he didn't talk about it.

Before the rehearsal, I saw that the two didn't have much contact. I thought it was to avoid scandals. After all, he and Zeng Li didn't show much closeness during the rehearsal. Now I know it's a split.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Cao Xuan didn't know what to say, so he could only pat Xiao Zhou on the shoulder comfortingly, saying nothing.

Xiao Zhou was not very sad, but said: "Actually, I have another talk. I wanted to talk to you before, but I didn't find the opportunity. I'm a little embarrassed."

Although Cao Xuan didn't match them up personally, the two met at the beginning, and it was Cao Xuan who instigated the match. Now that they broke up, Xiao Zhou didn't know how to bring it up, and it has been delayed until now.

Cao Xuan: "..."

He didn't know why complaining about Xiao Zhou was embarrassing to him, or whether he should complain about Xiao Zhou moving too fast and finding a "substitute" so quickly.

"What's the name of the new sibling?"

"Hou Peichen is the host of the TV station."

"Not very familiar."

Cao Xuan's words were half true and half false. He knew this person, Xiao Zhou's rare public girlfriend, but he was not very familiar with it.

But still the same sentence, his girlfriend doesn't need his consent, anyway, he is a brother, not a sibling.

"One day I have the opportunity to bring you to meet me, and I will give you a backup meeting gift."

After Cao Xuan ordered, he remembered the Cartier watch he gave to his younger sibling Cai Yilin when he learned about [Double J Love] two years ago.

Before Xiao Zhou paid filial piety to his two sister-in-laws, he thought he had earned it, but now that it’s healed, he returned it all back, and based on the experience of later generations, Xiao Zhou didn’t know how many more he had to exchange.

Although Cao Xuan didn't care about the money, he still felt a bit of a loss, and wondered if he should take the time to introduce Nan Han Zhenfei and Xiao Zhou to get acquainted, so as to make some money back.

Or have a few more children and carry out a roundabout strategy.

He remembered that Xiao Zhou had two children, and his family lived in the second palace, so no matter what, he had to have more children than him...

After bidding farewell to Xiao Zhou, Cao Xuan went to the dressing room to see Nishinomiya Mistress waiting for him here watching TV, and asked her to wait a while, then went to the director's studio by himself and stood up for the last post.

"Don't forget this night, don't forget this night
No matter the ends of the earth and the sea

......"

Senior Li Guyi did not come, but "Unforgettable Tonight" still ended this year's Spring Festival Gala under the chorus of several singers and many hosts.

The studio was full of excitement. Many staff members joined the director team from August to September last year. After half a year, they finally completed the task satisfactorily.

According to normal logic, after such a large-scale event is over, there will usually be a celebration banquet.

But the Spring Festival Gala is different. After all, it is New Year’s Eve. Most people still want to go home and sleep hard for a few days.

So, except for the staff who couldn't go home, they gathered together to celebrate the New Year, and everyone else went back to their homes.

Cao Xuan drove Zeng Li to Dashi Zuo Hutong. This year, Hu Jing went back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year, and Empress Xigong not only attended the Spring Festival Gala, but also dominated the harem during the New Year's Eve.

Cao Daguan didn't favor one person over another. The year before last, he took Hu Jing to Li Xuejian and other relatives and friends' homes to pay New Year's greetings. This year, he also took Zeng Li to visit.

Many people thought he had broken up with Hu Jing and asked quietly, but Cao Xuan smiled and said nothing.

That's fine, as long as the three of them don't appear together, the big deal will be "separation and reunion" all the time.

Anyway, they are all unmarried young people, it is normal for men and women to have some fluctuations in their relationship...
